After leaving the magazine, He Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, now that the money has been gathered, he can also rest assured that he can do other things.

The other things mentioned here are, of course, not classes, but something else.

It all started a few days ago.

When he returned from the magic capital, he received a letter.

This letter was sent by Liang Dakang, with one purpose, asking him to provide some supporting materials, and the purpose was naturally to transfer the royalties of the United States back to China.

It turned out that since he signed a publishing contract with that publishing house in the United States, last month, all the science fiction under his name was published in English.

In just one month, royalties exceeded $30,000.

$30,000!

Converted to RMB 100,000.

This is still a month's royalties, and if the sales continue to rise steadily, they will be able to get more royalties.

To be honest, he didn't expect such an income.

After all, it was not that he had not received royalties transferred from abroad before, but it was the first time he had received so many royalties at one time.

What surprised He Yun even more was that after his science fiction was published in the United States, the reviews were very good.

It can be said that it is applauded and applauded.

Especially the sci-fi masterpiece "Prehistoric Series".

This science fiction with prehistoric times and the future world as the core, and the various science fiction phenomena depicted have been highly praised by many local science fiction readers in the United States.

And many well-known science fiction writers also praise this, believing that He Yun's science fiction masterpiece series is expected to win the Nebula Award.

As for the Hugo Award, they think it's still almost hot.

Of course, this is what is reported in the foreign media.

In contrast, there has been little movement in the domestic media.

In this regard, He Yun was also very puzzled.

However, when he saw the recent "hot news", he seemed to understand something.

...........

In the afternoon, after He Yun completed various procedures, he immediately sent the paper certification documents to Liang Dakang.

He will help He Yun convert the money into RMB and send it to him.

Although the process will be more troublesome, it is better to be safe.

The most important thing is that the conversion of the US dollar to the yuan is quite troublesome, you must know that the present is not the afterlife, and it is not something you can exchange if you want to.

Moreover, the reason why He Yun wants to pass through Liang Dakang's side is that the most important thing is that they are a magazine, and He Yun is a person, so it will be much easier to do many things.

What's more, He Yun is an old friend who can't be more familiar with their magazine, and he is more relieved that he will leave this matter to them.

.........

Quadrangle.

Not long after He Yun entered the door, he heard a commotion outside the door.

Immediately, he heard the door open.

"Fourth brother! Fourth brother! ”

"Huh...... Isn't this the voice of the sixth sister? How did she get here? Didn't you hear she was coming? ”

He Yun was stunned for a moment, but immediately walked out of the study.

Sure enough, he saw He Xiaolian and another boy standing at the door.

That boy was none other than Ouyang Zhen.

And beside Ouyang Zhen, there were several people.

"Yunyan..... When you go back to Kyoto, why don't you call me in advance, and I'll pick you up at the train station? ”

After saying this, he immediately stepped forward and took the luggage that Ouyang Zhen was carrying.

"It's okay! Six brothers-in-law took care of us along the way! Nothing happened! ”

"Mom? Didn't Mom come along? He Yun glanced behind the three of them, but asked suspiciously.

"It's coming! My dad and my mom and dad came over too! ”

"Really? Are they all here? As soon as He Yun heard Gao Yunyan's words, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately put his luggage on the ground and walked towards the door.

Sure enough, at this time, four more people appeared at the door.

It was He Yun's parents and Gao Yunyan's parents.

"Dad! Mother! Father-in-law! Mother-in-law! He Yun immediately greeted the four of them.

"Hmm...... When did you come back from the Demon Capital? Elder Gao patted He Yun on the shoulder and couldn't help asking.

"A few days after I came back, father-in-law, how did you know that I had come back from the Demon Capital?"

"Didn't Professor Liu tell me?"

"Uh...... Then you still ask. He Yun muttered secretly, a little embarrassed.

Then he welcomed the four into the courtyard.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something, couldn't help frowning, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that I have to clean up the study, otherwise there will definitely not be enough room!" ”

Thinking of this, He Yun glanced at Ouyang Zhen and He Xiaolian, who were tired, but muttered again: "Why don't you ask Wang Ruoyan over there, I remember that they should still have a room, and the beds are ready-made." ”

"Forget it! Let's clean up the study! He Yun then shook his head again and gave up the idea just now.

The family still lives together!

Although the study room is a little smaller, it is not a problem to put down a bed.

"Fourth! Is there still a wooden bed in the utility room, you and Ouyang Zhen go and move out, Xiaolian and I will clean up, and you will carry it to your study again! ”

"When the time comes, I'll live in your study with your dad!" Mother Gong Yue said to He Yun.

Hearing this, He Yun was stunned for a moment: "Uh....."

"Dad! Mother! Why don't I sleep in the study with Yunyan, you and ......"

"It's inconvenient for you to take the child, so I'll sleep in the study with your father!"

With that, she didn't wait for He Yun to continue speaking, and walked straight to the kitchen.

I guess I went to fetch water.

Seeing this, He Yun had no choice but to glance at Ouyang Zhen and do as she said.

At night, when the family was sitting together, He Yun suddenly realized something, but he looked at his mother and asked, "Mom! What about Yingzi? Why didn't she come with everyone? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent except for He Yun.

For a moment, the atmosphere became eerie.

Everyone was unconvinced, and there was a hint of hidden emotion in their eyes.

He Yun had no choice but to set his eyes on Gao Yunyan.

But at this time, Gao Yunyan shook her head at him slightly.

Seeing her like this, He Yun seemed to understand something.

At this time, her mother Gong Yue spoke: "I already know about Yingzi!" I talked to her and she said she wanted to stay in Silver City and didn't want to come to Kyoto anymore. ”

"Uh......" He Yun was stunned, and finally didn't delve any further.

Since my mother said so, there must be no room for negotiation.

Maybe it's okay, she doesn't come to Kyoto, this sad place, maybe she can get out of this shadow.

Moreover, she had already left her job before returning to the countryside, and even if she came to Kyoto again, she would have to find a job.

In this way, it is better to stay in Yincheng, find a suitable job, and live an ordinary life.

..........

In the next few days, He Yun went to work at school as usual, while the others, led by Gao Yunyan, began to tour Kyoto.

However, two days later, Gao Yunyan also went to work, and Ouyang Zhen and He Xiaolian could only go to Kyoto by themselves.

On this day, He Yun just returned home.

I saw He Xiaolian facing He Yun and said, "Fourth brother! There is your phone! ”

"Oh.... Looking for me? He Yun glanced at He Xiaolian and immediately walked into the house.

After a moment, he picked up the phone on the table: "Hey! I'm He Yun! ”

"Comrade He Yun, it's me! Liang Dakang! ”

"It's Editor-in-Chief Liang! Is there anything you want me to do? You've received everything I sent you, right? ”

"Roger! Got it! On the other end of the phone, Liang Dakang immediately answered.

"That's good!" He Yun nodded secretly when he heard Liang Dakang's words.

However, Liang Dakang's next words made him unable to believe his ears.

"Ahem..... He Yun, I have good news for you! Your work "Prehistoric Times - The Frozen Throne" has been recommended to the United States Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association by several science fiction writers in the United States, that is to say, your science fiction work has become a shortlist, and the final award results will be announced around March in Mingyue, and the award ceremony will be held in the United States at the end of April and early May next year. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true! Because your work has been recommended more than ten times, it was automatically shortlisted, and if nothing else, it should belong to the scope of novella sci-fi. ”

"And as far as I know, there are only three works shortlisted now, and you also include your science fiction."

"Is there only three?" After He Yun heard Liang Dakang's introduction on the phone, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Because according to the rules of the Nebula Awards, there will be no more than five entries for each branch of the award, and the list of shortlisted winning works will be finalized before the end of the year, and it is almost November now, that is, there is only more than a month left.

If nothing else, there are only these three works in the novella sci-fi competition.

At that time, He Yun's chance of winning the award is one-in-three, and the probability is very high.

"He Yun, in fact, there is another good news, this time you have another work shortlisted."

"Oh.... Are there any other works shortlisted? Which one? ”

"It's also the "Prehistoric Era" series, the first "Three Emperors of the Prehistoric Era"!"

"Uh..... Can the Nebula Awards allow two works to be shortlisted? After He Yun heard Liang Dakang's words, his face was full of puzzlement and asked.

"In principle, you can, but if you win an award, I'm afraid it's hard to win at the same time!" Liang Dakang replied.

"That's impossible!" He Yun muttered secretly, and asked again: "Then if you win the award, do you have to be there in person?" ”

"Of course! Aren't you going to go live to claim your prize? After Liang Dakang heard He Yun's answer, he immediately became happy.

This is the Nebula Award, which is on par with the "Hugo Award".

No other science fiction writer can imagine that even if he is selected for the list of works, it will be a great honor.

If He Yun didn't go to the award ceremony, then the matter would definitely be a big problem.

"I'm not not going! I mean, it's an unknown whether I'll be available or not. ”

"What's that! You can take a leave of absence! Liang Dakang didn't understand why He Yun was worried about this.

If you really don't have time at that time, then ask for leave!

After all, more than anything else! This is a big thing, and he believes that neither Kyoto Normal University nor the country will stop him from going to the United States to attend the award ceremony.

This is to win glory for the country!

How can it stop it!

"Ugh....... You're right! He Yun was stunned, but laughed.

He had just reached a dead end, forgetting that he could take a leave of absence.

"Alright! That's it! The results will be out around March next year, and if there is any other news, I will let you know as soon as possible. ”

"Good! Then trouble Editor-in-Chief Liang! He Yun smiled and said immediately.

After hanging up the phone, He Yun couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, and he immediately laughed.

This is the Nebula Award!

If his work can win this award, then he will have a strong sense of presence in the world science fiction community.

At that time, the "Hugo Award" may also fall into his hands.

You must know that in the previous Hugo Awards, many works that won the Nebula Award have won the "Hugo Award".

"Fourth, what are you smirking at there alone? Hurry out and help carry something! ”

"Uh.... Here it comes! He Yun looked back at his mother Gong Yue at the door and nodded awkwardly.

He hurriedly walked over and found that his father was carrying something into the yard from outside.

"Dad! What are these things? ”

"Bought rice?" Dad He Donglei replied.

"M? Why do you buy so much rice? That's more than a hundred pounds! ”

"Hmm..... A total of one hundred and twenty pounds! He Donglei nodded, then looked up at He Yun and said, "Your mother and I, as well as your father-in-law, have to stay with you for many months, so many people eat, don't buy so much rice, how can you eat!" ”

"Stay for a few months? You mean, you're going to stay until this year's Chinese New Year and then go back?" He Yun was stunned, then laughed.

"Almost! Anyway, we don't have anything to do at home, we can also help you bring your children here, as for your little sister, they want to find a job in Kyoto, by the way, see if they can settle down in Kyoto! ”

"Settled in Kyoto?" He Yun was completely stunned.

Staying in Kyoto is no small feat.

He really didn't expect his sixth sister to have such an idea.

And he hadn't even mentioned it to him beforehand, which really caught him off guard.

"Why didn't the two of them tell me about this?" He Yun couldn't help frowning when he said this.

"Maybe they didn't decide either!" He Donglei then said.

"Oh well! I'll go ask them later. He Yun nodded and said.

.........

Ten minutes later, He Yun looked at the sixth sister He Xiaolian and Ouyang Zhen in front of him, and said to him very seriously: "You two really decided to settle in Kyoto?" ”

"Fourth brother..... We know it's going to be difficult, but for the sake of our future children, so ......."

As soon as these words came out, He Yun understood them.

The reason why the two of them settled in Kyoto was actually to send their children to school in the future.

"That's a good idea, but ..... It's not an easy task! He Yun looked at the two of them.

"So we want to ask the fourth brother to ...... you"

"Let me think about it!" He Yun pondered it again and again, but finally did not immediately agree.
