Chapter 156: Windfall

Putting down the phone, Chen Xiaodi continued to ponder the article that had not yet been written, for her who was used to writing 3,000 words per chapter of the previous story, these 2,000 words should not be a difficult task, but this article is independent, there is no cause and effect, naturally it is not as easy as writing a coherent story.

After a few hours of going back and forth, Chen Xiaodi finally released this freshly baked article, and the collection of essays that had not been updated for a long time finally ushered in a long-lost update. But its collection is already pitiful, and it has been silent for a long time, so she didn't expect this article to receive any response, after all, this collection of essays was originally used by her to record some of the dynamics she wanted to write, but the content was relatively long.

Exiting the writers' area, Chen Xiaodi looked at the various lists in the station, except for the works of those big writers, the books on the list can't be said to be all good grades, although I saw a lot of good results in the group, but most of them were extremely bleak.

Finding the category page where her book is located, Chen Xiaodi found that her essay collection occupied a place on the popularity list, although the collection was pitiful, but she still felt very happy, at least compared to before, it was somewhat improved.

It's already half past eleven o'clock in the evening when I close the webpage, Chen Xiaodi slowly washed up and lay down, it was already past twelve o'clock, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time, I let my thoughts fly aimlessly, and suddenly thought of my two books that were almost equal to no one read, Chen Xiaodi frowned, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Since the creation of these two books, she has always hoped that one day she can stand proudly in the spotlight with her own works, just like herself in a dream. But the more she expected, the harder the reality pierced, although she promised that she would finish the story as soon as it began, but now she is not sure if she can still fulfill this promise.

Woke up in a daze, Chen Xiaodi plunged into the pile of books again, and his daily life was to study during the day, and after dinner, he went for a walk in the gymnasium with his relatives at home.

On this day, Chen Xiaodi had just walked two laps and the sprained part of her foot hurt badly, so she walked to the stone steps on the side of the sports field and sat down, swiping her mobile phone while waiting for the adults. The social software only has Bai Ye's message, Chen Xiaodi just looked at it, there was no reply, there was little battery left on the phone, and he couldn't play the game, so he could only brush the dynamics over and over again.

I don't know how many times I haven't seen the new news after Chen Xiaodi remembered the writer's area on the mobile phone that I hadn't opened for a long time, and after clicking in, I really saved a lot of unread news, Chen Xiaodi clicked on it one by one and quickly swiped it over, and suddenly saw a special message, inviting her to sign a contract with the essay collection. The time shows that it was five days ago, exactly two days after her article was updated.

His brain went blank for a few seconds, and Chen Xiaodi stared at the message in a daze for a long time, and finally laughed. After carefully reading the message twice, the battery of the mobile phone finally couldn't support it, and it quickly shut down. Chen Xiaodi propped his chin and smiled softly as he watched the people coming and going on the sports field, maybe this time he really saw the dawn.

Back home, Chen Xiaodi couldn't wait to turn on the computer and look at the signing contract, but he didn't make a decision in a hurry. Originally, she wanted to sign up for that long story, and for this collection of essays, she was ready for no one to read it at all.

After two days of careful consideration, Chen Xiaodi finally decided to sign the book, although this was an unexpected gain, but it was also a great opportunity, after all, she didn't know any way to sign a contract except for the signing application channel in the writers' area.

After making up her mind, Chen Xiaodi carefully filled out the form, and the moment she clicked confirm, she could almost hear her heartbeat.

Hopefully, this decision will turn the corner for me and bring me one step closer to the future I've been looking forward to.

Chen Xiaodi thought and let out a long sigh of relief.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of May, and the decoration of the newly bought house of Chen Xiaodi's family had also entered the final stage, at this time, Chen's mother's left leg was so painful that she couldn't lift it for several days, so Chen Xiaodi accompanied her to the hospital for examination, but the result was that the lumbar disc herniation was slightly serious, and the doctor recommended hospitalization for a period of time.

Chen's mother didn't want to live, but the more she delayed, the more serious it would be, and finally agreed under Chen Xiaodi's repeated persuasion. Chen's father only went with Chen's mother on the day she went to the hospital, and then in addition to the new house, he cared more about the decoration than about people.

Chen Xiaodi accompanies Chen's mother to the hospital every day, and she reads books when Chen's mother hangs up a drip for treatment, but in addition to the four patients in the ward, there are also accompanying family members, plus the other three are just undergoing surgery or about to undergo surgery, and there are more family members to take care of, so the small ward is crowded with people, and it has become a lot more noisy.

The weather in the small town in May is very hot, it is difficult for people to concentrate, in the small ward, they even have to give way to each other to walk, and the windows are stuck and can only be opened a little bit, the air becomes even more stuffy, and it is completely impossible to concentrate on studying, so Chen Xiaodi simply regarded the time of taking care of patients in the hospital as the entertainment time in her subsequent preparation for the exam, and the waiting time was passed by games.

Three days later, all the examinations were done, and after Chen's mother finished physiotherapy, the mother and daughter went home, in front of the house, Chen Xiaodi just took out the ball in the key house from his bag and called out, but there was no usual sound of Xiaobai scratching the door.

When he got home, Xiaobai walked over slowly, his big black eyes didn't look as bright as usual, and his tail was just wagging weakly, and he didn't look very energetic.

"Xiaobai, why didn't you come to welcome us?"

Chen Xiaodi squatted down and hugged Xiaobai who walked in front of her, the little guy's swarthy nose kept sniffing her clothes, and when she reached out to scratch the little guy's neck, it tilted its head very enjoyably, it was very cute.

After playing with Xiaobai for a while, Chen Xiaodi put it on the ground, and saw that the little guy walked very lightly, always cautiously next to people, as if he was frightened by something.

"Mom, what's wrong with Xiaobai? Looks weird. ”

Chen's mother put her bag and came out of the room, and saw Xiaobai squatting at Chen Xiaodi's feet and looking around with her neck brunched, and saw her come over with her tail wagging again, but she didn't notice anything different.

"I didn't think anything was strange, just sleepy and hazy as usual."

But Chen Xiaodi still felt that something was wrong, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Bai seemed to be frightened by something before, always had to follow behind people, and from time to time she would shrink her neck and pull her legs to hide in the corner, she had to hug it to appease her for a while, although it would be fine the next day, but Chen Xiaodi always felt that Xiao Bai's current state was very similar to that time.
