"Eldest sister, how did you come up with the idea of writing a novel with such a theme?" Chang Qing asked excitedly as she looked at Liu Hong's manuscript.

"Editor Chang, I think this kind of novel can be free from the constraints of time, space, time, and history, and can open the mind and let the imagination do whatever it wants. The author has an infinite space, and the reader has a new horizon. Liu Hong looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and said eagerly.

"Eldest sister, what you said is good, this kind of theme is really fresh. I'm full of desire to read it now, but this kind of selection involves too much, although it has nothing to do with political and national policy historical research, but whether a mainstream newspaper like ours can be serialized or not, I don't count it alone. You leave the novel behind, and the editor-in-chief and I study it. ”

"Editor Chang, I understand this, I think the novel is nothing more than a positive inspiration, or a simple embellishment of life, or a replay of history. It can also be said to be a story, which can originate from life and be higher than life, and can trace history or make up history. After all, history is verified by later generations based on written records. If it was before writing, it was imagined by modern humans. The principle is the same throughout the ages, as long as the work itself gives people positive energy guidance and can please the reader's mentality, what kind of newspaper it occupies is extremely limited. 000 also teaches us to let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. Liu Hong talked eloquently, she had to convince Chang Qing first to give her novel a good start.

"Eldest sister, when I saw the work, I was already conquered, I will tell your thoughts to the editor-in-chief, and try to help you get the layout of the serialization. ”

"Editor Chang, thank you!" Liu Hong said sincerely.

"Eldest sister, you don't have to thank me first, when the newspaper agrees to serialize, you have to treat yourself. Chang Qing laughed. In fact, the decision of the sub-version is up to him, but Liu Hong's subject matter is too terrifying, and he has to seek a big backer for himself. These Liu Hong also thought of it, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Editor Chang, this debut novel of the eldest sister will be handed over to you, this is a child who is as favored as my daughter." ”

"Don't worry, eldest sister, I'm just as precious. I'll call you when the results are available, and we're working on the details. ”

"Okay, the eldest sister heard the magpie cry when she went out today, and it was really a good thing to go out and meet a nobleman. ”

"Eldest sister, you are also my nobleman, if your book is serialized, I will also be much more relaxed, and we will also benefit each other. ”

"Okay, we're a win-win. ”

After leaving the newspaper, Liu Hong is full of hope for the future. She believes that her work will be enjoyed by readers. Sure enough, a day later, Liu Hong came to the newspaper office again and met the editor-in-chief who was as old as Lan Tian.

"Ms. Liu, the subject matter of your novel is novel, and the writing is not to be said. We are also willing to be the first to eat crabs, but how much we can serialize depends on the response of readers, after all, we also have to rely on the sales of newspapers to eat. ”

"Editor-in-chief, I am very grateful for giving me this opportunity to serialize. I have confidence in myself, and I have faith in your newspaper. Liu Hong said simply, she didn't want to be high-sounding and persuasive, so it was better to talk about the results after the serialization. The editor-in-chief thought that Liu Hong would be like many authors, but she didn't expect her to just talk about a few words. The confident glow that flashed on her face was so bright and dazzling. He couldn't help but look at the middle-aged woman in front of him.

"Ms. Liu, you can finalize the specific rules with the editor. I wish you a great deal of love for your work. The editor-in-chief didn't talk nonsense, shook hands with Liu Hong and said with a smile.

"Thank you, editor-in-chief, and good luck with your newspaper!"

"Sister, the number of words we serialize in each issue is fixed, so you have to rearrange it and send us ten chapters each time. Also, the name of this novel has been changed for the better. You'll also need a pen name... By the way, how much has you done with this book?"

"How much has been completed? I can't make a mistake, the whole book has about 500,000 words. Liu Hong thought about it, but felt that it was better not to tell the truth.

"Eldest sister, you and I still have reservations, 500,000, that's going to be serialized for almost a year, you have solved a big problem for me. How soon can you give me the first 10 chapters, and we'll consider doing a preliminary promotion first. As for the manuscript fee, it will be the highest level per 1,000 words, and we will discuss the follow-up issues of copyright later. ”

Liu Hong also didn't understand this, she had never had such an experience in her previous life, and the small tofu pieces published in the newspaper at that time were all cleared at one time, and the big deal was more than ten or twenty yuan. It's already made her very satisfied and fulfilled. Later, when I wrote a novel on the Internet, it was also settled on the first day of the month. But there must also be a contract. Seeing Liu Hong pondering, Chang Qing continued.

"Sister, let's try to serialize ten issues first, see the readers' reactions, and then we have to sign a contract and other related matters. Rest assured, we have all the respect for each and every one of our authors, and we will not disappoint you. ”

"Editor Chang, I really don't know anything about this, everything depends on you. There are three more days in the week, and I will be submitting the manuscript by the weekend, and I will change the name appropriately. ”

"The eldest sister is cheerful, and we look forward to each other's success. ”

Liu Hong left the newspaper office happily, and when she walked on the street, she felt that the sun was extraordinarily bright, and people were happy. Suddenly, she saw that familiar figure again, really like her eldest brother Liu Fu. She thought of Liu Huijun's photo of the class reunion, the woman who looked like herself, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, is the world really a mirror, I don't know where there is a shadow of herself. As soon as I got home, the phone rang.

"Auntie, come and take a look, Dad and Mom are really here this time, and they are arguing for a divorce. Junjun's anxious voice came from the phone.

"Junjun, haven't you gone to school? Don't worry, my aunt will go to your house to have a look. ”

"Auntie, how can I still have the heart to go to school, I came out secretly to call you. Come on, it's scary for Mom and Dad to fight. ”

"Don't be afraid, my aunt will go to your house. "Put down the phone, Liu Hong's good mood is gone, although my brother and sister-in-law are constantly arguing, but it is impossible to really get a divorce.

When I arrived at my brother's unit, I heard the quarrel upstairs downstairs. On the stairs, too, there were neighbors chattering and whispering. Liu Hong said very dissatisfied: "Haven't you seen two people fighting, or have you not experienced it, it is better to go back and live your own small life than anything else." ”

"Oh, you're Lao Liu's sister, it's not that we watch the excitement, it's just that we've been arguing for a long time, and your nephew is scared to cry. There was a lot of falling in the house, and we tried to go in and persuade them, but they wouldn't open the door. You're here, or we're going to call the police. A neighbor said a little dissatisfied, and walked back to his house after speaking.

"Brother, sister-in-law, open the door for me. Liu Hong was not used to them, and banged on the door with her fist.

"Go and open the door and tell your sister to hear what you have done. From inside the house came the cry of a swallow an octave high.

"You open, call my sister to comment, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and he is talking nonsense. ”

"You're the dog's mouth, are you still afraid of people saying what you've done? ”

"Ma Yanzi, I say again I didn't do anything, believe it or not, I can't live this day, divorce!"

"If you leave, you will leave, and if you leave, you will go to find that woman. ”

The two people in the room quarreled again, and there was the sound of throwing things and kicking the table, but no one came to open the door.

"Auntie, you came so quickly, I have the key to open the door. Junjun hurriedly went upstairs and said.

"You're a worthless thing, you're skipping school again, aren't you, and you'll be a woman like him in the future. Seeing Junjun Yanzi scolded.

"I just don't want to go to school, you guys always fight, and your classmates on the left and right are told as jokes, and I've fought with them several times for you. If any of you have asked me why I was hurt, I know that I will run away from home and not be ashamed of you if I continue to quarrel and fight every day. ”

"You get out now, there is no good person in the Lao Liu family. ”

"Ma Yanzi, you are squirting feces all over your mouth, believe it or not, I will beat you. ”

"You beat, you'd better beat me to death, or I'll get into trouble with your parents." Let your neighbors know what kind of scoundrel you are. ”

"Enough, you all shut up, I don't care what you're for, Junjun is an innocent child, do you really have to wait for him to run away from home before you can sit down and talk properly. Liu Hong shouted angrily, the husband and wife are irrational, and it doesn't work to talk about it.

"Sister, you don't know how she messes around. I took over a renovation job a few days ago, and when I did it, I realized that it was a new house that Xiaomei's family bought for them to get married. I put some effort into doing it in public and private, and I came back a little late. But they all came with their co-workers. I went with Xiaomei when she got married, but she talked nonsense at other people's weddings. said that Xiaomei and I had a leg, and swore that they saw the two of us shopping hand in hand. The newlywed Yan'er almost got divorced. Sister, is there such a burying person? ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm definitely not talking nonsense, I just saw your brother shopping with a person whose back looks like Xiaomei, and he bought a lot of things in large bags. On the day they got married, I clearly saw Xiaomei's second set of clothes, which was the brand I saw them carrying that day. I asked if there was anything wrong. What does it have to do with me that they divorced? ”

"Sister, Xiaomei and I are innocent, and we have never gone shopping together, do you believe brother, brother is not that kind of person. ”

"Sister-in-law, if I had been sure to believe him before, now I can just talk about what kind of people I want to learn from. ”

"Sister-in-law, it's best not to chain the affairs of the two of you, why don't you say it when others take my brother to make money. Brother, I believe in you. Because I saw you shopping just before I came. It's just you, and there's no woman next to you. ”

"Ahh ”

"Sister-in-law, you want to help the people of your Lao Liu family and make up a decent reason. ”

"Sister-in-law, do I need to make up reasons to help my brother. Your life is your own, if it weren't for the distress of Junjun, I wouldn't bother to care about your business. Brother, I have not only seen people who look like you, but also women who look like me, like two sets of twins. ”

"Ahh
