Chapter 17: The Second Uncle Who Came Out
Sure enough, everyone loves to listen to the words in the mouth of the matchmaker. Even Gogarin, too, was very happy to be told by this old lady.
In the following days, Gao Garin focused on completing the beginning of the two works of "Harry Potter" and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" as soon as possible.
"Harry Potter" is divided into 7 parts in total, with 2.9 million words before and after. "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is as high as more than 3.7 million words. is that according to the price of 10 yuan per thousand words, Gao Jialin can earn 29,000 yuan from "Harry Potter" and more than 37,000 yuan from "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
This amount of money is a huge amount of money, enough for Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen to live happily and blessedly. And these two books will soon become famous, and they will be published in the future. Maybe it will be adapted into a movie and TV series in the future. That income is endless, enough for them to live a rich life for a lifetime. Especially for "Harry Potter", in the future, find a few translators, translate into English, and go out to make a lot of dollars, that is simply unthinkable!
At present, Gogarin's most important job is to revise and complete the first part of the "Harry Potter" series, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", as soon as possible, which is exactly 220,000 words, no more, no less, and it is perfect for playing the lead. Moreover, the editor of "Juvenile Literature and Art" has also been greeted by the editor-in-chief Zhu of "Contemporary", and this novel will be given priority. The omission of those orbs of dust will not happen.
So in the days that followed, Gogarin focused all his energy on revising and completing the novel. And Liu Qiaozhen, in addition to always paying attention to the progress of her life's major events, she spends more time going to the county seat, accompanied by her third aunt, running around to find a suitable house.
Gogarin needed to write novels quietly, so he didn't like to live in buildings. At this time, the building was slamming, and the neighbors quarreled and cooked every day, and the children were distressed, and the quarrel was a mess. This kind of environment is unbearable for Gagarin.
So Gogarin needed a quiet little yard.
But at this time, the yard was basically a farmhouse. Dirty and messy, there is no good drainage, sewage cross-flow, aging wires, and those large miscellaneous courtyards are also noisy and unbearable.
Liu Qiaozhen ran all over the county, but could not find a place that fully met the requirements. When he came back and cried with Gogarin, Gogarin comforted her and said: "A quiet environment is the first place, and if the problem of aging wires and sewage can be transformed." ”
Liu Qiaozhen was a little reluctant, in her eyes, those small yards were not cheap, and if it cost another amount of money to renovate, it would really not be worth it.
Gogarin had no choice but to persuade her to take a long-term view, and those barely able to live in the houses, the more she looked back, the more she felt that they were not eye-catching, and they still had to be renovated. It's better to be in place at one time!
As for the question of money, he advised Liu Qiaozhen not to worry too much. The novel I write now has far more words than the original one, and I should be able to make a lot of money.
Hearing him say this, Liu Qiaozhen is no longer in such a hurry.
However, Liu Qiaozhen had another question, "Brother Galin, since this novel is so profitable, let's only write this kind of novel in the future, isn't it?" That hard-working and unprofitable novel, why don't we write it? ”
"Haha!" Gao Jialin laughed when Liu Qiaozhen said such a childish thing, "My sister Qiaozhen, you can't just look at money when you do things. The previous novel was tiring and unprofitable, yes! But that novel can greatly enhance my status and fame, and it is indeed profitable to write only such children's novels and popular novels, but it is not very helpful for personal status! We are now in an era where money alone is not enough! ”
As soon as Gao Jialin said this, Liu Qiaozhen almost understood, "I see, I understand, Brother Jialin." This is the same as the situation in our village, my dad Liu Li was rich, but he was only called a two-capable person. He can't compare to the powerful Gao Minglou! ”
"Haha, that's probably what it means, but it's not that!" Gogarin laughed again, "I'll tell you now, you don't know it deeply." Wait for my novel to be officially published in two days, and you will know how powerful that novel is! ”
Although Liu Qiaozhen still has some vague understanding, she knows that what Brother Galingo said is true, and she is willing to do exactly what Brother Galingo said.
The reason why Gao Jialin chose Liu Qiaozhen, in addition to her pure, lovely and beautiful, there is another reason that he himself doesn't pay much attention to, that is, Liu Qiaozhen obeys himself wholeheartedly.
This point was not very important to the original Gogarin, but it was very important to this Gogarin, who had the idea of crossing over. Just imagine, if he is with a girl like Huang Yaping, the other party is like in the original book, constantly trying to control himself and asking himself to do things according to the other party's wishes. The current Gogarin will definitely not be able to stand it!
In fact, if Gogarin had chosen those intellectual women and literary youth, he would have encountered these problems almost 100%. His values and outlook on life from later generations were alien to the affirmations of this era.
For Liu Qiaozhen, this kind of conflict is that what Brother Galin said must be right, she wants to do what Brother Gallin said, and she will completely accept Gollinger's thoughts.
And for those literary and artistic young intellectual women, even if they like and worship Gogarin again, they will not do it. This kind of constant conflict will definitely lead to emotional problems, and finally end with the breakup of the relationship between the two parties.
Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen are busy with their own work, and in their families, the parents are not idle. Gao Yude and Liu Liben met a few times, although they both had opinions on each other, but Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen were relatively strong in their respective families, and under the oppression of their children, the two old men could only put aside their disputes and seek common ground while reserving differences.
Originally, the mother's family was relatively strong in this wedding, and Gao Yude's family was obviously at a disadvantage. However, on this day, Gao Yude suddenly received a letter that his younger brother Gao Yuzhi, an old revolutionary who had been in the army for many years, was now transferred to a local government according to the requirements and became the director of the labor bureau in their area.
Feng Shui takes turns, and this time the situation is reversed.
After the news spread, the Gao family was completely different. In the past, there were still people who whispered gossip about Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen, but now how can there be? Don't say it quietly, it's just two people in the room, and no one dares to say it.
For the relatives of the Gao family and the Liu family, now it has become the proper pheasant of the Liu family to fly into the phoenix nest, and the Liu family is greatly climbing.
For the return of his second uncle, Gao Garin actually had nothing to be happy about. In the original work, his second uncle Gao Yuzhi was described as selfless and fair. The job of Gao Garin in the original book was also directly taken down by the second uncle.
But now Gogarin is completely different. He is fully able to rely on his own strength to get an idle iron rice bowl in the county. But as soon as the second uncle Gao Yuzhi came back like this, things were completely different.
Although he has not been in contact with Gao Yuzhi, from the description in the original book, it can be seen that this is an extremely old-fashioned and principled, Hai Rui-style character. This kind of character is naturally welcomed by the common people, but as his relative, it will be eight lifetimes of mold.
Gao Jialin felt that if he wanted to make a free job in the county under the power of his second uncle Gao Yuzhi, it would be impossible. I don't know if I have to leave the county or even the whole region, go to the provincial capital or even go to big cities like BJ Shanghai.
Gao Jialin found Liu Qiaozhen, "Qiaozhen, things have changed, we may not live in the county for a long time." In this way, let's change to buy and rent, find a similar yard, and let's rent it for a year! ”
This sudden change surprised Liu Qiaozhen, "Brother Garin, what's wrong?" Why don't you buy a house in the county? ”
Gogarin let out a long sigh and spoke his speculation.
The more Liu Qiaozhen listened, the bigger her mouth opened, and this situation was completely beyond her imagination. When others heard that the Gao family had a powerful backstage, they were all envious, but they didn't expect that this was not a good thing for Gao Jialin.
"What then?" Liu Qiaozhen suddenly panicked.
"Don't panic, it doesn't really matter." Gao Garin reassured: "No matter what, no one can stop me from entering the Writers' Association, and no one can control it, this is a matter of course." And I don't necessarily look down on the regional writers' associations, my eyes are on the provincial writers' associations. If there is any trouble in getting a quiet iron rice bowl in the county seat, I will take you to the provincial capital, and we will settle in the provincial capital! ”
"Provincial capital?!" Liu Qiaozhen didn't expect Gao Jialin's goal to run even higher, and actually aimed at the provincial capital, which is a big city with a population of one million! Liu Qiaozhen never dared to think like this in her dreams.
Liu Qiaozhen couldn't believe it, "Is Brother Galinge really?" Can we really go to the provincial capital? ”
"Hehe," Gao Garin smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Qiaozhen, it's only a matter of time before you go to the provincial capital!" As long as you enter the Provincial Writers' Association, you can go to the provincial capital. With my creative ability, even if I can't get in now, the next book will let me in! ”
Liu Qiaozhen liked Gao Jialin's confident, sunny and cheerful personality, and couldn't help but take his arm and lean her head on his chest, "Brother Jialin, you are amazing!" I don't think anything can bother you! ”
Gogarin laughed and hummed a song in his mouth.
“…… I'm a sunny and cheerful big boy,
Sunny and cheerful big boy,
All I have is a smile,
Look at the corners of my mouth raised,
Sunny and cheerful big boy,
……”
Gao Jialin crossed when this song was at its most popular, and he himself liked the third prince of the giant panda Meng Lanxi Zhimen, and he also learned to hum a few words.
This Gao Garin was originally good at playing and singing, and was the backbone of literature and art in the school, with a strong baritone. This song is naturally full of charm, dynamic and cheerful, and very infectious.
Liu Qiaozhen listened to it interestingly, and couldn't help but hum too.
"Brother Gallinger, what song are you singing? How I've never heard of it. Strange and good! ”
Gao Garin laughed, "This is my nonsense, if you think it sounds good, I will make it up and sing it to you." Don't you know how to sing, too? Sing one to me! ”
