Chapter 33: Cui Can's heart is empty
"Sister, why am I not worried at all when I look at you? Do you have any good ideas? Seeing that her sister was not worried at all, Cui Di asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, of course I'm not worried." Speaking of which, Cui Can also looked at his parents and grandmother mysteriously, and after everyone's eyes looked over, he still stopped talking.
"What's the best way to say it quickly?" Looking at her daughter's relaxed face, Li Yuqing felt that the clouds that had just been pressed on her heart seemed to have faded, which made her also in the mood of joking.
Cui Shigao glanced at his wife dissatisfied, and after she smiled knowingly, he looked at his daughter with satisfaction. "Cancan, is there any good way to tell your father?" For his smart daughter, Cui Shigao attaches more importance to everyone else, even his son. In fact, he is very patriarchal, but his daughter's well-behaved and smart made him hurt in his heart. In the past, she just liked to read, but she liked it very much. Now she is not only good at studying, but also can help herself and her wife think about making money, and he likes his daughter even more. seems to see her own shadow in her, to be honest, her daughter also looks more like herself, so his liking is even more unprincipled. Sometimes my son is jealous, and when I think about it, I really seem to have gone too far.
Cui Can watched with satisfaction that everyone's emotions were mobilized by herself, and then she smiled and took out an envelope from her desk. "Look, what is this?"
Cui Di quickly took the envelope, for not getting the envelope in the first place, Li Yuqing glared at his son dissatisfied, but unfortunately this guy just looked down at the letter, and didn't look at himself at all, which made her heart hurt.
"Sister, is this true?" Just as she wanted to continue glaring at her son, he raised his head, his eyes looking at his daughter, his face full of disbelief. Li Yuqing snatched the letter from his son's hand, and did not receive her husband's dissatisfaction at all.
Then, she asked similar questions about her son. "Canton, is this true?"
Although the names are different, they all refer to one person, and the number of words is the same. This made Cui Shigao and Grandma Cui's curiosity completely hanged, Cui Shigao learned from his wife and snatched the letter in her hand and read it. The illiterate grandmother also squeezed over, trying to see something between the white paper and the black dots on it, but unfortunately those black dots knew herself, but she didn't know it, so Grandma Cui could only sit down and no longer rob her son. At the same time, she was waiting for the question she had already heard twice.
Sure enough, the son didn't let her wait long, and just after she sat down, the son's problem also came out, which was exactly the same as the daughter-in-law's. Hey, it's really hard to be illiterate. She seemed to be literate, too, and asked that question. Unfortunately, she was illiterate, so she didn't know what it was and couldn't ask that question. Grandma Cui could only look at her granddaughter expectantly, hoping that she could satisfy her curiosity.
Cui Can was uncomfortable by the warm eyes of his parents and younger brother, although his grandmother's eyes were not so warm, but he was also full of expectations. So she didn't have the mood to hang her appetite, and nodded a little embarrassedly.
"It's true, I've received the money."
"Money? What money? ”
This question was only asked by her grandmother, who didn't know what was going on, and after she asked it, Cui Shigao, who was sitting next to her, realized that her mother didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly explained: "This letter was sent to Cui Can by the newspaper, saying that her book has begun to be printed, and the first manuscript fee has been mailed to her." ”
"What? Are you saying my granddaughter's book is about to be printed? Does that mean my granddaughter is already from that family? Obviously, the grandmother's concern was completely different from Cui Shigao's, she grabbed her son's arm excitedly, and after getting a positive answer, she cried excitedly.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you still crying when you're so happy? Cui Shigao and Li Yuqing hurriedly comforted Grandma Cui, but the more she spoke, the more tears the old lady had, her lips trembled, and her hands trembled.
"Mom, don't you scare me? What's wrong with you? Cui Shigao looked at his mother, and his worried voice was crying, as if he would cry with his mother in the next second.
However, Li Yuqing looked at the direction of her mother-in-law's finger and thought of something. "Mom, do you want to talk about Cui Can and make you happy? Are you crying because you're happy? ”
Grandma Cui nodded, her fingers still pointing at Cui Can, and the trembling was not so obvious.
Cui Can and Cui Di, who were frightened, seemed to come to life at this time and came to their grandmother's side. Cui Can stroked her grandmother's chest with her hand and gave her grandma a relief. "Grandma, don't get excited. It's true, I've become a writer. Soon my book will be seen by everyone, and I will not only make money, but also become famous. ”
Sure enough, after listening to Cui Can's words, Grandma Cui's tears gradually stopped, and her anger was much smoother. Cui Shigao's heart was put in his stomach, "Mom, you scared me." As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his breathing seemed to be less rapid.
Grandma Cui's hand grabbed Cui Can tightly, and her eyes looked at her for a moment, as if Cui Can would disappear from her eyes as soon as she let go. Looking at her nervous appearance, Cui Shigao and Li Yuqing shook their heads helplessly, and the expressions on their faces were much more relaxed.
Cui Di squeezed around her grandmother and sister, put her arms around her neck, and pressed her face against her grandmother's face. Said gently: "Grandma, isn't my sister very powerful?" ”
Grandma Cui nodded in agreement, and the tears in her eyes seemed to be falling again. Let Li Yuqing on the side pinch his son worriedly, Cui Di dared to be angry about his mother's actions, and could only pout aggrievedly. "Grandma, look at Mommy, she pinched me!"
Sure enough, the grandmother's eyes left Cui Can, glanced at her daughter-in-law dissatisfied, and then fell on her grandson, smiled comfortingly, and finally looked at her granddaughter.
"Grandma, you're so happy, do you want to talk to grandpa?" Cui Can knows the relationship between grandma and grandpa, although grandpa has been gone for almost ten years, but there is something big or small in the family, grandma is still used to talking to him, it seems that this is the case, he is still by his side.
Sure enough, Grandma Cui nodded, and the expression on her face was much more relaxed.
"Why don't you let Dad accompany you back to your hometown tomorrow? Go to your grandfather and talk to him about the good things in the family? By the way, let my father also handle the household registration matter, it would be better if I could do it at one time, and if I couldn't do it, I would go again next time. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to my granddaughter." Grandma Cui finally made a sound, although it was drier than usual, but it was still much calmer.
"Tell your grandmother, what kind of book did you write?" Grandma's problem is also Cui Shigao and Li Yuqing, as well as Cui Di's concern, so as soon as grandma's problem came out, everyone's attention was once again focused on Cui Can.
But this time, Cui Can raised a smile with a little weakness, and he smirked, but he didn't say the answer.
Grandma Cui is illiterate and doesn't care about the content of this book, she just wants to know more, and she can talk to the old man in more detail when she goes back. Seeing that her granddaughter just smirked and didn't say anything, she didn't mean to get to the bottom of it. But the three members of the Cui family didn't do it, and they all stared at Cui Can without letting go.
Seeing that Cui Can was not cooperative, Li Yuqing stabbed his son's waist and motioned for him to ask this question.
Cui Di glanced at his mother dissatisfied, and after getting two pairs of warning eyes, he could only turn his head and stare at his sister in resignation.
"Sister, what did you write? How many words? With so much manuscript fee, how much does a book cost? ”
"Hehe, it's a book like Aunt Qiong Yao." Cui Can was very weak-hearted, afraid that her mother would ask her when she had read Aunt Qiong Yao's book? Still afraid that her mother will ask her when she watched it? I'm afraid that my mother will know that she has been exposed to this kind of book since the second year of junior high school, and sometimes she will read this kind of book in class. She is really weak-hearted, because she knows that these behaviors of hers are what she has really done and do not meet the standards of students, so her eyes wander and she just doesn't look at her parents.
Cui Di sighed, and looked at his sister with a funny face, waiting for her next explanation.
"Aunt Qiong Yao? Who is it? What book did she write? Is it famous? ”
Li Yuqing's question made Cui Can breathe a sigh of relief and made Cui Di's face full of disbelief. Mom didn't even know about Qiong Yao?
Looking at the expressions of his children, Li Yuqing felt as if he was being despised by them. Make up your mind right now, when you have time, you must find out who that Qiong Yao is, and you must read her book. Otherwise, being despised by your own children is really shameless.
Cui Shigao didn't understand Qiong Yao either, but he was smart enough not to ask again. "I gave you so much this time, will there be another time next time?" The letter said that this is a deposit, and the follow-up fee will depend on the sale of the book. Although he didn't know much about it, he believed in black and white. This means that in addition to the current 5,000 yuan, my daughter will have a sum of money in the future. I don't know much, but he's looking forward to it. Especially thinking that his daughter can not only make so much money at such a young age, but also become famous, he can't help but feel a sense of pride in his chest. also understood his mother's gaffe just now, that is, he wanted to go back and tell his father, as well as his brothers and relatives, so that they could also know what kind of daughter they had, so that they could envy themselves well.
And the worry about the money to buy a house has also disappeared, and he has a daughter's manuscript fee here, so he still has nothing to worry about.
