January Wrap-up + Thank-You List
「
First of all, I would like to report my results to my friends who have been reading this book, and I should say that I am very satisfied.
The book was first ordered for more than 1,800 yuan, and by the time it was put on the shelves for about 10 days, the average order had exceeded 3,000.
Of course, this is nothing compared to others, but for me personally, it is very exciting.
Thank you for your companionship along the way.
I believe many friends know that the results of this book were not very good at first, and I was very unconfident at that time, and I once planned to be a eunuch after sending two chapters and saving the manuscript.
In addition, not long after the book was posted, I started to have a fever, followed by a cough, and it has been almost two months, and I still haven't fully recovered. During this period, I went to the doctor to prescribe medicine three times, discharged three chest X-rays, and finally gave a water infusion......
Speaking of water infusion, the blood vessels are relatively brittle in winter, and I am relatively thin, so I receive an average of two injections after one water infusion. In the end, he barely lost for five days, and there was no place for his two hands to be pierced.
The cough didn't get better, and I started to have diarrhea again.
I'm still coughing softly, and I don't want to toss back and forth anymore, so I'll recover slowly.
Continuing to go back to this book, because it is an everyday essay of the era, there are many things that cannot be written, so the whole is relatively bland. In the future, it will be a similar tone, and everyone must be mentally prepared.
I am not from the sixties and seventies, and part of my impression of that era comes from the memories of my elders, and the other part comes from online materials (accounting for 80 percent).
So for some details, there will definitely be errors.
But I will say that the best efforts have been made. Generally, when someone leaves a comment saying that there is an error in a certain price or data in the book, I will continue to search for verification and strive to get more information to support it (there must be mistakes, this cannot be denied).
For example, bride price money has been questioned by many people. The materials I have seen are estimated to be more than 100,000 words (or even more, no specific statistics), and now there are nearly 100 excerpts of materials, more than 10,000 words, including interviews, provincial records, county records, local records, memoirs, and so on.
All of this is to explain to me that the data written by Mr. Lu Yao should be in line with the local situation at that time (some people think it is an artistic processing effect, but I don't think so).
Even, this kind of bride price is locally called "official ceremony", so you can imagine what the concept of these two words is.
And when I checked the information, I found that there was a magical phenomenon about the local bride price. If you marry commercial grain, you can ask for no or less bride price. On the contrary, even if the two are happy, they must give a bride price, and I don't know how many people have been broken up for this.
Half of the bitterness in Xintianyou is almost related to the separation of men and women.
Another phenomenon, many memoirs will mention "singles", which also shows that there were many men who could not marry wives for life at that time.
There are also items whose prices are considered high by some and low by others.
In fact, we should distinguish two concepts, one is the price of the supply and marketing cooperative, and the other is the price of the pigeon market. One asks for a ticket, the other doesn't.
At different points in time, the difference between these two prices is huge.
As you can imagine, in the pigeon market, a bun sells for one yuan, and a bucket of wheat (30 catties) sells for a hundred yuan.
In addition, there are some things that are handled very differently from place to place.
I just want to tell you that I am really writing books with great care.
A lot of data isn't just a pat on the head and just a snap of the head. Sometimes it takes an hour or two to look up a price, which is one of the reasons why this book can't be written quickly.
Thank you again for your support of this book!
Especially thanks to my friend who pointed out a lot of typos (I check it every time I send it again, but I can't see it).
