Chapter 165: The First Manuscript Fee
Since following the course of the special training class, Chen Xiaodi's life has also become orderly, the time that can only be completed one thing in the past can now do a lot of things, and when the plan is written on the first day of the daily planner, she was worried about whether she could complete it, but she found that she was more comfortable day by day.
Although the situation of the postgraduate entrance examination is becoming more and more severe year by year, and the online entrance examination is becoming more and more difficult year by year, she has already read most of the content that has just started at this time in the previous two years, and without the previous rush, Chen Xiaodi suddenly felt that there should be hope for this year's exam.
It's July now, and the new home has been renovated for a while, but the new furniture has just been moved in, and it will take a few months to ventilate it. Approaching the middle of the month, Chen Xiaodi finally received her first manuscript fee, although it was only a few hundred yuan for full attendance, but after all, it was also earned by her hard work, so she was still happy for a long time.
On Saturday, Chen Xiaodi used the first money she earned to book her favorite hot pot package, and invited Bai's mother to eat with their family, along the way, Bai's mother praised Chen Xiaodi like a flower, although the few hundred yuan is not a lot, but for Chen Xiaodi, who is now preparing for the exam at home and does not need to spend money on food and accommodation, this money is enough for her pocket money.
"In other words, as long as you keep writing every day, you will have at least a guaranteed full attendance every month, right?"
"Hmm."
"That's good, anyway, you don't have to spend money to eat and live at home, and this money is enough for your little gluttonous cat to buy snacks, right?"
Mother Bai hugged Chen Xiaodi's shoulders and said with a smile.
"Hmm!"
Chen Xiaodi nodded, smiling happily, no matter what, this is also a good start.
"But these few hundred yuan a month are not enough to live, so you still have to have a serious job."
Originally, Chen's mother was not optimistic about Chen Xiaodi's writing of books, but after knowing that she had worked so hard to write and received hundreds of yuan in a month, she was even more disdainful, and from time to time she had to mention the matter of finding a job in her ear.
"Even if you are looking for a job, you have to take your time, not everyone can find a suitable job as soon as you come, not to mention that writing a book is not an easy task, there must be a long process."
"Of course it would be better if she could support herself with this, but her dad should retire in a few years, and she can't keep messing around like this."
This is originally a child's hobby, she likes it and lets her try, of course it is good to succeed, even if there is really no result, at least she has tried, and she will not regret it in the future. But if you don't even give her a chance to try, she'll definitely blame you in the future. ”
"But this doesn't conflict with work, just write it when you go back from work, it's good to make more extra money."
Chen's mother said this lightly, but this is so easy, Chen Xiaodi has always felt that in her mother's opinion, as long as everything is done, you will definitely reap the best results, but she ignored that all success must have a long process, and most of them have to experience several failures.
"You have to push it so hard until you completely crush the child, do you? To put it bluntly, don't you just want her to make money for you to spend? But you also have to think about her, there are brothers and sisters in our generation, their two children will have to take care of four elderly people in the future, and they will have to live their own lives, which is very stressful, and they will be able to subsidize our expenses in the future, of course, it is better, but as long as we don't subsidize them, it is already very good. ”
Chen Xiaodi is very grateful to Mother Bai for always protecting her, but I don't know how much her mother listened to her words. The parents of the Bai family have always been very enlightened people, they never put too much pressure on Bai Ye, nor will they impose their will on him, Chen Xiaodi has always been very envious of Bai Ye, as long as he wants to do something, he will definitely get the support of his parents.
While talking, a few people came to the front of the hotel, and the waiter took a few people to a table by the window after reading the order voucher, and after taking away the extra dishes and chopsticks, he beckoned the kitchen to serve them food. The side dishes were quickly served, and the half-clear and half-spicy soup base exuded an attractive aroma, so greedy that Chen Xiaodi's two eyes stared directly at the slowly tumbling soup.
Is it true that the things you buy with your own money have to taste better?
Chen Xiaodi thought about it while taking pictures of all the dishes on the table, which was a very commemorative meal for her.
During the banquet, Chen's father kept complaining that the soup base was too spicy to his taste, Chen Xiaodi retorted a few words, and he began to talk about her again, which made Chen Xiaodi's stomach full of unhappiness, and kindly invited him to eat, but he still had to be scolded by him, what is the reason. When he got home, Chen Xiaodi ordered all the things he liked most in the shopping cart, which was regarded as a reward for himself.
Chen Xiaodi didn't plan to tell Chen's father about writing books to earn manuscript fees, she knew that her father would read it all day long once he knew, and might even try to get some away from her. Ke Chen's mother still told her about it after all, just because Chen's father didn't want to eat this meal that Chen Xiaodi paid for them to eat at first.
Since he knew that she had received the manuscript fee, Chen's father didn't want to give her any more pocket money, as long as Chen Xiaodi said that he wanted to buy something, Chen's father would use her manuscript fee to talk about things, and he didn't even want to give her the money for study materials that cost hundreds of yuan together.
"Aren't you rich yourself? You can't buy it yourself. ”
"Is my few hundred dollars worth millions? I spent nearly 200 yuan on dinner that day, and I transferred the money I had for dinner together with my classmates, and I bought some things myself, how much is left there, do you think it's still your era when you can buy a lot of things for 100 yuan? ”
Chen Xiaodi knows that it is not easy to make money, but Chen's father is indeed a little too obsessed with money, when he was a child, he was worried about her New Year's money, and now he is worried about her manuscript fee, Chen Xiaodi can almost think of what he will think about his salary in the future.
"Do your own calculations how much money you have spent on registering for classes and buying materials in the past few years? Again and again, if I fail the exam again this year, I will be given a job to save my money. ”
Reluctantly gave Chen Xiaodi the money to buy study materials, Chen's father began to sneer at her again, in Chen Xiaodi's impression, every time he so-called encouragement sounded more like a threat.
"What is there to waste about education investment, is that money expensive for my friends' children to pay more than 10,000 yuan a year? When she gets in, she will come back! You don't count what you should count, you don't count what you shouldn't count, you are foolish, you buy cigarettes all year round is enough for your daughter's pocket money! ”
Chen's mother said, throwing a big roll of the eyes at Chen's father.
