Chapter 36 Reading and Literacy

【Dear Author Friends】

[Congratulations! Your work "My Childhood Plum Will Become a Cat" will be recommended in the second round of Qidian New Book on 2023-03-22 00:00:00]

When he saw the news, Ai Qing sat on the chair, leaned back on the chair and raised his head, and let out a long breath.

Looking at his book's collection of 2,000, he had a satisfied smile on his face.

I vaguely remember that when he boiled 300,000 words in his last book to the shelves, he only collected it in his early 2000s.

In the end, the first 100 subscriptions, the proportion of readers who paid for subscriptions can be said to be quite miserable.

Fortunately, he updated and stabilized later, and the editor gave a small recommendation on a category page, which can be regarded as a small increase.

The last book was finished until the end, and the collection was only in the early 6,000s, and the average order barely reached 500, reaching the baseline for receiving the follow-up attendance award.

And what about this book?

Now it is less than 90,000 words, and the collection has reached 2,000.

This week, Sunday entered the second round of the new book recommendation PK, and the traffic was greater than the first round.

If you can increase the collection by a few thousand more, enter the 3rd and 4th rounds, and even belong to the legendary "Galaxy Recommendation" for newcomers......

Ai Qing didn't dare to think about it now.

For Xiao Xiami of his level, the competition intensity of hundreds of books in the same period wants to stand out from them, become the most brilliant dozen books, and win the position recommended by Xinghe.

It's hellish level of difficulty.

Although for some bigwigs, this is as simple as eating and drinking.

Ai Qing didn't think much about it, he just wrote his own book with peace of mind.

As long as the data is better than the previous book when it is put on the shelves, and the average score can reach 500 within three months of the shelves, he is already satisfied.

Under the condition of full-time, he strives to update 6,000 words every day, and if he orders 500 words, he can also have more than 4,000 manuscript fees every month.

Half of them pay rent and utilities.

The remaining half is his living expenses with Xiaoyu.

He usually cooks by himself, and his food expenses are about 1,000 a month.

Xiaoyu's monthly food expenses are about two or three hundred.

If you think carefully, you can still have a few hundred dollars left over every month.

If the book had been a little better, it would have left more room for it.

Leaning back in the chair, Ai Qing closed his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth, already imagining a better life in the future.

"Eh!"

Ai Qing, who was sitting in a chair, suddenly screamed.

When he opened his eyes, Xiao Yu had jumped from the table into his arms, found a comfortable position on Ai Qing's lap, and curled himself up into a small pompom.

"Have you gotten fat?" Ai Qing poked her in the head.

I don't know if I can understand what Ai Qing is saying, Xiaoyu rarely opened his mouth and bit his finger.

But it's not heavy at all, and after a light bite, it was changed to licking.

Ai Qing was a little itchy by her licking, and after withdrawing her hand and scratching her chin, Xiaoyu squinted her eyes, revealing a very comfortable and enjoyable expression.

Just as Ai Qing was teasing Xiaoyu, the doorbell rang outside the door.

Xiaoyu's reaction was much faster than Ai Qing's, and he jumped down directly with a smoke, ran to the door of the room, and opened the bedroom door.

Then he ran all the way to the door.

Ai Qing hurriedly followed out, only to see Xiao Yu obediently squatting at the door, looking up at him with a questioning expression of "do I want to open the door".

Ai Qing didn't know how he saw it, but subconsciously nodded: "Open the door." ”

Then the little fish jumped and opened the door smoothly.

Originally, I thought it would be Xiao Youqian outside the door, or Kong Fugui.

As a result, it turned out to be a little brother standing outside the door.

"Huh? It's true. Ai Qing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately recognized it.

This is Kong Fugui's younger brother Kong Fuzhen.

I am in my teens this year, and I have just started the fifth grade of elementary school.

"Brother Ai Qing." When Kong Fuzhen saw Ai Qing, he immediately took off his schoolbag, opened the zipper, and took out a stack full of textbooks from it, "Brother asked me to bring it to you." ”

"Uh-oh." Ai Qing remembered, he did ask Kong Fugui before, and asked him to find out if his brother's previous textbooks were still there, "Thank you, come in and sit for a while?" ”

"No need, I came here after school, and my mother is still waiting for me downstairs." Kong Fuzhen said seriously, "I'm going to go first, Brother Ai Qing goodbye." ”

"Okay." Ai Qing stretched out his hand and took the thick stack of textbooks, "Then you should be careful on the road, and you will have time to play in the future." ”

Kong Fuzhen and his brother are completely different personalities, and after nodding politely and saying goodbye, he closed the door and turned around and walked towards the elevator.

In the room, Ai Qing was holding a pile of books, turned his head to look at the small fish squatting on the ground, and showed a warm smile on his face: "When did you become a human?" Xiaoyuer's class is about to officially start. ”

……

Saturday, March 21.

The new book has entered the second round of recommendations, which is gratifying.

The textbooks that Xiaoyu needed were also delivered.

It's a pity that she didn't change last night, and when I fell asleep, I didn't become a human until the middle of the night, so how could I still have the heart to teach her to read?

Hurry up and go to bed.

I feel that now I have finally entered a stable period, and the little fish has become a human thing, and I am slowly getting used to it.

As long as I teach her to read and speak, it should be much easier.

In the afternoon, Xiaoyu turned into a human again, and I finally caught him and pressed him on a chair, spreading out the textbook of the first grade of primary school Chinese.

However, I seem to have overestimated Xiaoyu's ability to learn words.

Even children who have just entered elementary school can already speak in daily life, and even in kindergarten, they have learned a lot of words.

With the most basic language communication skills.

And Xiaoyu's current situation is actually more like the language level of a three- or four-year-old child.

I originally wanted to start directly with pinyin, but it didn't work very well.

Let's teach her some common words briefly.

And for some reason, once I started teaching her to read, the time it took for her to become a human was quickly shortened, and in just about fifteen minutes, she was back into a kitten.

Sure enough, even a kitten would hate class?

So does this prove that the little fish can actually control itself to become a human and turn back into a cat?

Further research is to be carried out.

It's a pity that I originally wanted Xiaoyu to put on my dirty clothes from yesterday, so that I don't have to wash them.

As a result, it only took ten minutes to turn back into a kitten, and the clothes still had to be thrown into the washing machine.

……

However, what Ai Qing didn't know was that Xiaoyu couldn't stop the consumption of warm currents now.

In the state of cats, small fish can continue to accumulate warm currents.

But once she chooses to become a human, the warm current in her body will continue to be consumed, and she will not become a kitten again until she is consumed.

When it was called reading and literacy, the reason why Xiaoyu became a human was greatly shortened was purely because she was trying to control the warm current to instill it in her brain so that she could become smarter.

If you know that Ai Qing thinks that she is avoiding studying, I don't know if Xiaoyu will be aggrieved and angry.
