Chapter 120: Picture Books Sell Best
After Gao Qing left, Lu Jingqiu looked at the time, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, she boiled a pot of hot water, put it in the yard, and prepared to take a bath for Huahua, looking at her stomach, it should be just a few days.
Bathing the cat is a bit troublesome, it just so happened that Xiaoshun and Xiaoyin, two children, were at home, heard the movement, climbed the wall, and said, "Sister Xiaoqiu, you're back." β
Lu Jingqiu glared at them angrily: "Hmph, tell me, did your family Ah Fu make my family have a big belly." β
Xiao Shun closed his mouth weakly, he did see Ah Fu and Huahua rolling together that day.
Xiaoyin said: "Sister Xiaoqiu, Huahua and Ah Fu have a child, we will be responsible." β
Lu Jingqiu laughed when she heard this: "How are you responsible." β
The two children came down from the wall, went around the yard and entered the door, and Xiao Shun said: "Sister Xiaoqiu, how many can you give birth to in this nest of Huahua." β
Lu Jingqiu shook his head: "I don't know, there are two, and there are six or seven." β
Xiaoyin said: "Wow, there are so many, my mother will definitely not let us raise so much." β
Xiao Shun was worried, paused and said, "Why don't I ask my brothers and see if they can raise them." β
Xiaoyin said: "Your brothers say every day that they can't eat, can they have something for the cats to eat." β
Lu Jingqiu said: "Okay, let's take a look in a few days, if there is less of my family, I will raise it, more. Let's talk about it. β
The two brothers and sisters saw that Sister Xiaoqiu was no longer angry, and they were busy and actively helping Huahua take a bath.
Waiting for the flowers to come out of the water, Xiao Shuncai said: "Sister Xiao Qiu'er, I have already published the summer vacation series you painted, and I have cut it out." Several of them were very excited, and they also learned to cut it with me. Sister Xiaoqiu, can you draw one alone for me, I want to do a collection. β
Xiaoyin also said: "I want it too." β
Lu Jingqiu hadn't had time to read the newspaper yet, thinking that it would be about this week, and it would not be difficult to want a portrait, so he nodded and agreed, saying that he would give them the painting when it was ready.
The two happily jumped around the yard a few times.
Lu Jingqiu put the flowers in the sun, and took out the fan to blow at it, fortunately, the weather is hot now, otherwise it will really blow a cold.
When it was time to blow the flowers, Lu Jingqiu tidied up the vegetable garden, and the beans immediately stopped the garden, picked off the small ones, and then the seedlings were also torn off, and the eggplant was reluctant to get rid of it, so wait, the two pumpkins in the yard also received a lot, and the four or five big pumpkins had turned yellow, and they could be made into millet pumpkin porridge in winter.
It's five or six o'clock when I'm done with this.
Touching Huahua's hair, it was almost there, and after putting it in the house, he continued to blow at it with a fan, the little guy was not honest, so Lu Jingqiu took a hollow bamboo basket to cover it.
Then I sorted out the beans I had gotten down, blanched them in a pot, and put them in the yard to dry, and kept them for the winter.
Xue Jianian followed Wei Jincheng back to his hometown some time ago, it was the autumn harvest season, and with the help of his grandfather, he got a lot of grain, poultry, and a lot of seafood.
Xue Jiannian didn't want his grandfather to suffer in the field, so he bought them a small yard in the county, and also found a job for his grandfather to watch the gate of the factory.
Their village is not far from the county seat, and there are direct buses, because their village is not far from the sea, and there are transport teams that often pull sea goods, so the traffic is very convenient.
In order not to worry her, grandpa took grandma to the county seat, and Xue Jiannian could plant in the space, so when he left, he left a lot of food for the old couple, two hundred yuan, and many tickets.
Grandpa showed the factory the gate, he could receive twenty yuan a month, he didn't need to buy food, the family had money, and the old couple had a good life, and Xue Jiannian was also relieved.
After Wei Jincheng investigated his life experience, he returned to the army with mixed feelings, and Xue Jiannian took advantage of the fact that before school started, he wandered around the black market more diligently.
Today, I accidentally ran into the gay man who rescued her in the first place, and he sold silk scarves and watches on the black market with a partner.
The Xue family read out the black market and waited for the person, and when the person saw that it was Xue Jiannian, he was quite surprised.
In order to thank him for saving his life, Xue Jianian specially invited him to a meal, and when they parted, they gave him a chicken and a duck.
Wu Zhengran looked at the things in Gangzi's hand and said, "This person is Wei Jincheng's fiancΓ©e?" β
"It's true, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come back so late."
Wu Zhengran said: "Dude, thank you for helping me on this trip, causing you to almost lose your job." β
"Brother Ang, who are the two of us, you are now taking me to make a deal, I am already very happy, this is much better than going to work. Brother, when are you going to do it, remember to think about your little brother. β
Wu Zhengran patted him on the shoulder and said: "I have a holiday for the New Year, follow others and toss some more, when the time comes, let's get more money, this time the main thing is not much money, get some gadgets, my classmate, people have money, and they all make money, easy to sell goods." β
"Okay."
Lu Jingqiu only remembered today that Xue Jiannian's rent should be collected, and he was going to go over in the afternoon, so he went to the publishing house while he had time in the morning.
Zhang Miao saw her coming, and hurriedly said: "Jingqiu, I thought you should come back, and I was going to look for you in the next two days, but I didn't expect you to come first." β
"Sister Miao Miao, what's the matter?"
Zhang Miao took the two picture books that just came out, one is "Twenty-four Solar Terms" and the other is "I Will Do It": "These two books are selling very well this summer, especially this "I Will Do It", the sales are very good across the country, and the editor-in-chief said that he is going to print it." You came just in time, quickly find Deputy Editor Yang and sign a printing contract. β
"Ah, the whole country." Lu Jingqiu didn't expect sales to be so good.
When Deputy Editor Yang saw her, he smiled a little brightly.
"Jingqiu, you're finally back, if you don't come back, I'll have to wait at your doorstep."
"Deputy Editor Yang, I just came back for two days, and I originally came to play with Editor Zhang and Editor Luo today."
"It came at such a coincidence."
Deputy editor Yang took out the sales summary of "Twenty-four Solar Terms" in the past two months and said: "Last month alone, publishing houses around the country have ordered out 100,000 copies. Now some areas have begun to rush the goods, and we are ready to print another 50,000 copies. Here's the contract you see. β
Lu Jingqiu glanced at it roughly, formulaic, she also believed in the publishing house, and directly signed her name.
Deputy Editor Yang took her to the Finance Department again and approved 500 yuan for her, in addition to the cost of the previous batch, there is also this batch.
There is also the book "I Will Do It", which sells better than "Twenty-four Solar Terms", in a month, 120,000 copies have been sold, and orders from all over the country have reached 100,000 copies.
The club discussed it before, and gave them the editorial department, as well as the painting and editing department, a reward of ten yuan per person, and two catties of brown sugar.
Lu Jingqiu, a great hero, is naturally indispensable, not only ten yuan, but also a reward of fifteen yuan given above, except for two catties of brown sugar, and a three-foot cloth ticket.
