59 The Past of the House
Mencius once said: Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they will be tempted to endure and gain what they cannot.
How do you live when you have no money, smoke a pack of cigarettes a day and change it to five cigarettes, eat three meals a day to eat one meal, don't go out for entertainment if you have nothing to do, don't go out if you have something to do, because you have to spend money when you go out, sleep at home more, close your eyes and open them a few times, a day will pass, close them a few times and open them a few more times, a week will pass, repeat this life, and a month will pass.
The life of a young person has been like this for months on end.
In Tiandu, a place where the consumption level is slightly lower than that of Shangdu and Beijing, he only uses 1,200 yuan per month, which is really a miracle!
It must be known that the water and electricity bills plus the rent will cost at least 800 yuan a month!
People, there will always be some bumps in this life, who has never had difficulties?
However, most people can at least have a family and friend to help, if you go out alone, it is still very difficult, and if such a person succeeds, it is worth everyone's admiration! The young man is such a person who comes out alone to break into the world, but he does not succeed, so no one will admire him, he is like a little grass on the side of the road, very pitiful, very ordinary, but no one pays attention to him, let it sway and struggle in the wind and rain, maybe one day this little grass is transplanted to a fertile land, and nourished by sufficient water, it will thrive, and may even bloom beautiful flowers.
Occasionally, young people close their eyes and look forward to the future.
But his future was as he saw it, and when he closed his eyes, he saw darkness.
Long.
The young man tossed and turned on the chuang and couldn't sleep, sighed, got off the chuang, sat down next to the computer desk, and turned on the computer.
As soon as you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea, in fact, young people feel that this sentence is more applicable to the online literature world, and once you enter the online literature, it is as deep as the sea.
There can be pure friendship, there can be intrigue, there can be deep hatred, as long as you can think of it, it may appear here, or it has appeared.
It has been three years since he began to step into the online literature industry and began to write books.
Since his junior year, he has not asked his family for a penny, because he knows that the family's economic situation does not allow him to reach out to ask for money again, otherwise his parents will not even be able to support themselves, and the children must not be unfilial!
Anyway, he barely got by in his first book, so he finally thought he could be independent.
yourself, you can support yourself, you can take responsibility for yourself!
His second book got a better score, although compared to many big gods and small gods, this score is not enough, barely a second-rate author, but he saved money and still survived.
In the last two years of college, the most difficult two years for his family, he relied on his own ability and did not add to the burden on his family.
This is the capital that he is proud of, and it is also the capital that his parents are proud of, whenever he goes outside, his parents will always say to outsiders: "You know no, my son writes books on the Internet, earns a lot of money, and he didn't let us worry about it in the last two years of college, all the money is earned by himself, tuition, living expenses, etc., all of which he earns from writing books." Maybe he'll become a great writer like Han Han in the future! β
As for what is an online novel and what is a traditional novel, they are not very clear, anyway, they are all writing books, why should they be so clear?
Sometimes when they praise the youth, the young man is also there, and he is immediately embarrassed, explaining: "No, don't get me wrong, I wrote a few online novels on the Internet, and I didn't make a lot of money, so I earned some tuition and living expenses, and it took a long time, not as exaggerated as my parents said." β
He didn't see it, and when he opened his mouth to explain to everyone, the parents behind him turned pale.
Sometimes, parents always like to exaggerate and show off what their children have achieved, so should we really explain it and refute what parents say?
This truth has not been understood by young people until now.
He thought he would be able to continue working in this job after graduating from college, and he did, but the reality was often very shocking, and his new book was not satisfactory, to use a popular phrase in the author's circle, that is, 'hit the street', and his new book hit the street and went to the Pacific Ocean.
After three months, it was delayed on the shelves, and finally I got the editor's reply: "I'm sorry for the small house, this book may not be able to be pushed on the shelves normally, if you are in a hurry, according to your current word count, I can help you apply for comfort on the shelves, although the subscription may not be good, but you can apply for the minimum allowance at that time, you should also know the rules of our website, even if your book grades are worse, you can also apply for the minimum allowance, and get the minimum 1200 guarantee manuscript fee." But I have to remind you that the subsistence allowance is only two months, and once the time has passed, you can no longer get the subsistence allowance. β
Lo!
Young people never thought that they needed to live on mixed subsistence allowances!
But he was already shy in his pocket, but in the end he had to put down his bottom line and apply for this subsistence allowance that only the lowest level of authors in the online literature industry need to apply for!
After that, he wrote this subsistence book and a new book at the same time, and the two books went hand in hand.
But his luck seems to have run out, what to write and what to pounce, four books in a row, three of them were eunuchs, and he finally accepted his fate to write this ultra-low subscription book, at this time the subsistence period has passed, and he can only rely on a meager subscription fee and 1000 yuan of full attendance award every month to live, and the monthly manuscript fee is about 1100 points, which makes him survive in the international metropolis of Tiandu.
He had lost faith in himself.
Lost confidence in online articles.
Lost faith in this society.
After losing his mind for a moment, the young man woke up again, opened the browser, logged in to the origin account, and entered the author's background, a series of actions were very skillful, after all, he was still very familiar with logging in every day.
The first thing he did when he logged in was to check the subscription, and the young man had a little comfort on his face: "It's finally gone up by 20." β
20 subscriptions, calculated according to a chapter of 3000 words, the author will probably get 1.2 yuan next month, and he will be happy for this mere 1.2 yuan, which is the sadness of the author who hit the street.
"After I go back this time, I'm ready to find a job and go to work. The online literature world is not for me, and this world does not belong to me. The young man smiled bitterly, and finally made a heavy decision, he wanted to sigh, but he couldn't sigh, he loved online literature, loved this world, but this world couldn't accommodate him, although he was very reluctant to support a few hardcore book fans who had supported him for three years, but bread and milk were a very real problem, he couldn't hold on until he starved to death for these three or five hardcore book fans, so he could only silently say sorry to a few hardcore book fans.
He still remembers the comments of those book lovers in the past.
"House, I only recognize you as a person, as long as it is a book written by you, I will support it!"
"House, I like your writing style, although sometimes it is inevitable to exaggerate, naΓ―ve and other low-level mistakes, but I just like it, there is no reason! So, I'll stand you up to the end! β
"House, you must persevere, even if I throw all my salary into your book, I don't want you to leave the online literature world."
"House ......"
Thinking of those touches, tears have unconsciously dripped from the corners of the young man's eyes, but he didn't realize it.
Although some book lovers said that they would never give up, they finally left silently, although some book fans expressed strong support, but never took action, although there were too many although, the young man was still moved, because this at least proves that there is a group of people who have supported him, fought side by side with him, experienced the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter together, and grew up, laughed, and sad together......
With a long exhale, the young man slowly clicked on the page, "No Job", which is the title of the book he has written so far.
Pseudonym: House.
He was going to write a farewell message......
But at this time, his hands were stiff in mid-air, his eyes were staring at the computer screen woodenly, and tears flowed out like a tide in an instant, and his eyes were blurred with tears in a moment, but his movements remained unchanged, his eyes were still staring blankly at the computer screen, looking at the book review area of "No Job".
