The study life in the city No. 1 middle school is busy and fulfilling.

The learning progress of the No. 1 Middle School in the city is slightly ahead of Jixiang Middle School, and Jiang Fanyue was busy catching up with the course progress in the first few days of her arrival at the school.

Fortunately, the teachers and classmates in the class knew that Jiang Fanyue was transferred from the middle school in the town and gave Jiang Fanyue a lot of help.

Especially Ji Leyao, who generously shared the notes she made, so that Jiang Fanyue could ask her about the knowledge points and topics she didn't understand.

Jiang Fanyue was a little embarrassed, and occasionally brought some drinks to Ji Leyao.

Ji Leyao accepted it calmly and sent back some beautifully packaged snacks from time to time.

When Jiang Fanyue finally kept up with the progress of her studies and no longer needed to open a small stove alone, she gave Ji Leyao a toy as a thank you gift.

Ji Leyao repeatedly fiddled with the cute cat ornament in her hand, and said in surprise: "This is a toy from the fairy tale world factory!" ”

"Hey, is this a new product, I don't think I've seen this in the store."

Jiang Fanyue's eyes were bright: "Yes, it can also be used as a pen holder, you can see if you like it or not." ”

Ji Leyao put the cat ornament on the table and stuffed all his pens into it.

It's very pleasing to the eye.

"Let me tell you, I have a lot of toys from the fairy tale world at home."

"Every time I go to the store to pick up toys, I pick them up, and finally pick them up and take a look, and sure enough, they are produced in a fairy tale world."

The corners of Jiang Fanyue's lips curled, and she was honored: "There are really many types of toys in the fairy tale world. ”

Ji Leyao seemed to have found a like-minded friend: "Do you like it too?" ”

Jiang Fanyue nodded: "Yes, I also have a lot of them at home, and there are many of them that are not for sale." ”

Ji Leyao keenly captured the key words: "Not for sale!?" ”

Before Jiang Fanyue transferred to the school, the head teacher briefly told Ji Leyao about Jiang Fanyue's situation.

So Ji Leyao knew Jiang Fanyue's authorship.

Part of the reason why she takes care of Jiang Fanyue so much is because she likes to be friends with powerful peers.

But as for Jiang Fanyue's family situation, Ji Leyao is not clear at all.

Jiang Fanyue didn't elaborate, but said, "It was given to me by my mother." If you want to see it, you can go to my house and play. ”

Ji Leyao didn't ask any questions, and discussed the time with Jiang Fanyue with great interest.

This is also the reason why Jiang Fanyue likes Ji Leyao and the classmates in the class.

They weren't curious about her past, and they didn't have a bad taste for fun by laughing at the suffering of others.

Rather than laughing at others, they are more willing to spend their time enriching themselves.

Jiang Fanyue is like a fish in water in such an environment.

So Yiyi in the story also began to meet a lot of friends.

Even if you encounter challenges, you will be accompanied by your friends to turn the danger into a better level.

After reading it, Lu Junhao was amazed and said to Xiao Jianguo: "I originally thought this was a children's book, but who knew that this was still an upgraded liushuang text." ”

Xiao Jianguo laughed: "The audience for upgrading Liushuangwen is wide." ”

Some articles, for children, may be a little naïve.

But for adults to see, it's just right.

Well......

Since the serialization of "The Dancing Elephant" began, the sales of "Fairy Tale Monthly" have been rising slightly.

In order to accurately grasp the readership, Xiao Jianguo deliberately conducted research and finally came to the conclusion -

The vast majority of this increase in customers are children, but there are also a small number of adults.

But it's not surprising to think about it.

Xiao Jianguo himself started this newspaper out of interest.

Who said children's books belong only to children.

Putting aside the manuscript sent by Jiang Fanyue, Xiao Jianguo asked Lu Junhao: "How far has the publication of "Wishing Mirror" been submitted for review? ”

At the beginning of May, the renovation of the Fairy Tale World store was completed.

Because there are two stores, Yao Rong himself is the manager of the main store in the department store, and Zhao Brown is the manager of the branch store in the lumber market.

Although Yao Rong has made a lot of promises to Zhao Brown in the past six months, Zhao Palm has also been mentally prepared for the fact that he will be the store manager, but when he really heard Yao Rong's words, Zhao Brown was still so excited that his face turned red.

I came home dizzy, hugged Mr. Zhao and cried and laughed.

"Dad, I can now manage my own shop."

"In the future, when customers come to the store again, they will also call me Boss Zhao."

In the past, he helped his father look after the store, and familiar customers called him "little boss".

Now I can be regarded as taking off that little letter. Old Man Zhao rolled his eyes, but the smile in his eyes and the pride in his heart couldn't be hidden.

His eldest daughter got married a few years ago, but this youngest son is idle, not doing business, but his eyes are above the top.

In the past, when he went on a blind date with the woman, the woman didn't want to see him, but now, he has directly become a fragrant bun in the blind date market, but it is his youngest son, who is talking about it in a crepe manner, and now he just wants to work hard and has no heart to get married for the time being.

Look, look, what has become of all the spirits.

"Do a good job, don't embarrass your son."

"It's up to you to say that." Zhao Brown looks like who you look down on.

"Old man, don't you like to listen to dramas, what do you say about those dramas......"

"Well, yes, the one who is a confidant dies! Sister Yao has a good eye for people, I definitely can't let her down! I have to prove to everyone that Sister Yao is not wrong! ”

Old man Zhao's teeth are sore.

He used to talk about his life every day, but his youngest son was not able to give birth to the slightest bit of self-motivation.

Now even the words of cultural talents such as "the death of a confidant is a soldier" have come out.

After the decoration is completed, the store needs to be ventilated for a period of time, and the staff also needs to conduct some pre-job training, so Yao Rong and Zhao Brown discussed and set the opening time on Children's Day.

It also happened to be the weekend.

Many parents take their children out to the mall.

As soon as they arrived at the department store, the crowd was attracted by the billboard and humanoid dolls erected at the entrance.

Many guests followed the guidance all the way up to the third floor.

As soon as I stood in front of the store, a dream world that could not be seen at a glance was presented to everyone.

The main store in Fairy Tale World is very large, and it is rented from all four shops around it and opened up into one.

The whole shop is decorated in warm colors, and the ceiling is covered with star lights of various heights.

When I looked up, I saw a galaxy in the sky.

When you look down, there is a streamer that flickers into the depths of the store.

There are children chasing the streamer all the way forward-

Building block area, ornament area, doll area, wooden music box area......

Each area has something different to offer.

In addition, there is a special area in the store where employees stay and make toys on site, so that parents and children can see how a toy is produced from scratch through the glass.

And if the customer wants to engrave the toy, they can get it here after the purchase and ask the staff to help with the receipt.

In the other corner, there is also a mailbox.

Next to the mailbox stood a sign that read, "Write a letter to yourself in three years."

Every child who spends money in the store can write a letter, and the store will help send it to the child after three years.

Of course, sending letters is free, but stationery and envelopes are not.

And it just so happens that there is an area next to the mailbox dedicated to selling all kinds of beautiful cards, communication paper and envelopes.

There is also a corner where several crane machines are placed.

At the beginning, Yao Rong spent a lot of effort in order to get these crane machines.

But it's clear that it's all worth it.

The crane machine has just been introduced into China from abroad, and even the children who have lived in the capital and the magic capital since they were children may not have seen this machine, let alone the children of Changjin City?

Not to mention children, even the parents who brought them over lingered on the crane machine.

……

This kind of gimmick, which is common in later generations, obviously has a crushing advantage in this era.

Those customers who didn't want to spend at first couldn't help but pay for something.

And the customers who were already rushing to buy things couldn't stop the car directly.

When they checked out, they found that not only did they get a 95% discount when they applied for a membership card, but they also got members-only toys -

So what's there to hesitate about!

Anyway, the money is spent, and you have to get a membership card!

……

Yao Rong specially told Rui Rui's father that when he came to the city with the goods, he would bring Yao Ruirui, Yao Miaomiao and Erniu over to join in the fun.

The three children followed Jiang Fanyue, looking dizzying, and their eyes were reluctant to blink more.

Jiang Fanyue had already come to the store a few days ago. At that time, the store had not yet opened, and she was only entertained in the huge store, so she was relatively calm at this time.

Walking around, several people also met Ji Leyao.

Ji Leyao carried a basket full of toys, looked at Jiang Fanyue's empty hands, and asked with a smile, "Don't you buy them?" ”

"Don't buy it."

Yao Miaomiao patted her chest, her face full of pride.

She is not afraid of life at all, and she is full of the recklessness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. "These toys are all made by people in our village, and we just came to see the excitement this time."

Ji Leyao looked at Jiang Fanyue.

Jiang Fanyue didn't hide it from Ji Leyao anymore: "The fairy tale world was opened by my mother." ”

Ji Leyao sighed slightly: "No wonder you have such a non-sale product, now I finally understand." ”

Jiang Fanyue introduced the second girl to Ji Leyao.

Ji Leyao smiled and said hello to the second girl, chatted a few words, and took the initiative to leave, without disturbing Jiang Fanyue and the second girl to catch up.

When she was tired of shopping, Jiang Fanyue took the two girls to the dessert house next door to eat a small cake, and chatted about the recent situation by the way.

Erniu said: "This semester, the principal has been changed, and militarized management has been implemented, and the school's learning style has improved a lot. ”

"Fei Shuyun, they have all become a lot more peaceful......"

"I've made a few new friends......"

After talking about school, Erniu also talked about her.

Some time ago, she submitted another manuscript to the publishing house, although it was still rejected, but Erniu still decided to continue to revise.

"I already know I'm not the one who wrote it. But since I've written it, I still want to insist on it, maybe I can really insist on a good result? ”

Yueyue is a genius who continues to grow at an astonishing rate.

She's just a stupid kid looking up to geniuses.

But stupid children also have the stubbornness of stupid children.

On the fourth attempt to submit, Erniu's work finally passed.

Although the price of 1,000 words is not high, holding the hard-won two hundred yuan, the second girl still couldn't hold back, hugging Jiang Fanyue and crying.

A child with talent can easily be recognized by the publishing house.

Stupid children who have no talent can also be recognized by the publishing house after repeatedly polishing their works and tempering their sporadic talents.

As long as you are on the road all the time, whether fast or slow, early or late, you can reach your destination.

In September, the physical book of "Wishing Mirror" was finally completed.

Jiang Fanyue's current residence is not far from Changjin Publishing House, and at noon, Xiao Jianguo rode a bicycle and delivered ten sample books.

The whole book is not long, and the book is not thick, but it is beautifully made, which shows the care.

Jiang Fanyue couldn't put it down.

Yao Rong poured Xiao Jianguo a glass of water: "Editor Xiao, why did you come to deliver the sample book in person." ”

Usually there are things that need to run errands, Xiao Jianguo basically hands them over to Lu Junhao, a young man.

So now seeing Xiao Jianguo, Yao Rong feels rare.

Xiao Jianguo took a sip of water, put down the cup, and said, "I came back this time, first, to talk about the release of "Wishing Mirror", and secondly, to discuss with you about the publication of "Little Elephant Who Loves to Dance". ”

"Wishing Mirror" is the first work published by "Fairy Tale Monthly".

Under Xiao Jianguo's hard work, "Wishing Mirror" has gained a great tilt of publicity resources.

Other editors of the publishing house said that Xiao Jianguo is very optimistic about "Wishing Mirror".

That's true.

Xiao Jianguo is indeed optimistic about "Wishing Mirror".

But what he is most optimistic about is "Dancing Little Elephant".

"Wishing Mirror" was vigorously promoted, but in fact, it was all for the later "Dancing Little Elephant" to build momentum.

"Counting up, "Dancing Little Elephant" has been serialized for more than half a year. In the past six months, the monthly sales of "Fairy Tale Monthly" have risen from 61,000 copies to 120,000 copies now. ”

"This data has basically reached the peak in this province."

"If you want to increase the sales of Fairy Tale Monthly, you must promote the sales of Fairy Tale Monthly from this province to other provinces."

"So I want to open up the market with the publication of "Wishing Mirror" and "Dancing Little Elephant", and sell "Fairy Tale Monthly" to all parts of the country."

Jiang Fanyue's eyes widened slightly in surprise by the prospect depicted in Xiao Jianguo's words.

Yao Rong smiled calmly and asked the most critical question: "How does Editor Xiao need us to cooperate with you?" ”

Xiao Jianguo said: "Considering that Yueyue is still in school, there are not many places that need Yueyue's cooperation, but Yueyue may be invited to do some interviews, as well as re-edit "Little Elephant Who Loves to Dance". ”

"Of course, the most important thing is that I hope that 'Dancing Baby Elephants' can be serialized as long as possible."

"It's better to make it a series, completely tied to Fairy Tale Monthly."

Yao Rong didn't answer immediately, and looked at Jiang Fanyue with an inquiring gaze.

Jiang Fanyue pondered for a moment and said, "I can do all these requirements. Yiyi's story, I originally planned to write it all the time. ”

When the words fell, Jiang Fanyue looked back at Yao Rong.

Xiao Jianguo also looked at Yao Rong, although he knew that this proposal was beneficial and harmless, but he couldn't help but be a little nervous before waiting for the result.

Yao Rong nodded briskly and shook hands with Xiao Jianguo.

"I'll leave it to Shaw to edit everything."

"As long as it doesn't affect Yueyue's normal life, if there is anything that needs to be cooperated, we will try our best to cooperate."

Xiao Jianguo smiled brightly.

Now, he can finally show his strength.

On September 15, "Wishing Mirror" was officially released.

Jiang Fanyue doesn't know what the situation is in other provinces, but there is one bookstore in this province, and as long as she walks in, she can see "Wishing Mirror" in a more conspicuous position.

Originally, only Ji Leyao knew Jiang Fanyue's authorship in the class, but at this moment, "Wishing Mirror" exploded, and many students noticed the name of the author of "Wishing Mirror".

Since Jiang Fanyue decided to use her real name as a pen name, she has never thought of hiding this matter.

As long as someone asks, Jiang Fanyue will admit it generously.

"I wrote it."

She behaved so frankly and naturally that the rest of the class gradually calmed down after being shocked and admired.

However, the news quickly spread like a tornado, spreading to all grades and classes in just one morning.

In the No. 1 Middle School in the city, many students have read the "Fairy Tale Monthly", and some of them especially like Jiang Fanyue's works.

It's just that I didn't expect the author they liked to be in the same school as them, and they were still so young.

"I also wrote to her and called her Sister Jiang Fanyue in the letter, but it turned out that she was a year younger than me."

"This year, Fairy Tale Monthly held a vote for the most popular work, and I also voted for "Dancing Elephants" at that time."

"Wait, do you want to do a math problem, she is now in the second year of junior high school, she should only be thirteen or fourteen years old, which means that when she first started writing "Wishing Mirror", she was twelve years old!?"

"My God, the most important thing is that she writes very well!"

"What kind of genius girl is this?"

Yes.

- "Genius Girl Writer".

When the publishing house promoted "Wishing Mirror", it played the banner of this.

The original heroine has been officially publishing books since she was fourteen years old, and she has been known as a genius girl writer, Jiang Fanyue is one year younger than her, so she naturally deserves such praise.

This propaganda was vigorous, and even Sun Taotao, who was far away in the imperial capital, saw "Wishing Mirror" in a conspicuous position in the bookstore.

At the end of the year, Miao Miao's parents finally returned.

The last time Yao Miaomiao saw her parents was three years ago.

Her impression of her parents has been very weak.

But in the past three years, Yao Miaomiao has been able to receive clothes sent back by her parents, and she has also heard a lot about her parents from Rui Rui's parents.

So after experiencing the rustiness of the first day, by the second day, Yao Miaomiao became very clingy to her parents.

But as time went by, Yao Miaomiao became a little bit of a loser.

She and Yao Ruirui slept under the same bed.

That night, Yao Miaomiao pushed Yao Ruirui.

Yao Ruirui was about to fall asleep, and muttered, "What are you doing?" ”

"Are my mom and dad going to work again?"

"I'll find out tomorrow by asking."

Yao Miaomiao didn't speak, just flattened her mouth hard, tears rolling in her eyes.

The sound insulation of the self-built houses in the village is not very good, and she did not dare to cry, so she could only silently wipe away her tears with her little hands.

It's just that the tears are not obedient enough, and occasionally there is no time to wipe them away, so they fall on the quilt.

She is so envious of Yao Ruirui.

Why can the uncle and aunt stay by Yao Ruirui's side all the time, and her parents have to go so far—so far—so far that she grows up before they come back to see her.

Although her grandparents love her very much, her uncle and aunt care about her no less than they care about Yao Ruirui, and even many times, because her parents are not around, her uncle and aunt will be more partial to her.

But—

But it's different.

Yao Ruirui's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Yao Ruirui was so anxious that she suddenly had an idea, "Tomorrow Aunt Rong will go back to the village, we will go to find Aunt Rong, Aunt Rong is so smart, she will definitely be able to give you ideas." ”

The next day, as soon as Yao Rong returned to the village, he was hugged by two little girls, one left and one right.

Yao Rong led them into the factory and said with a smile: "Is there anything to find me?" ”

Yao Ruirui shook out the incident that Yao Miaomiao cried last night.

Yao Miaomiao puffed out her face and glared at Yao Ruirui unhappily, but she didn't refute it soundly.

Yao Rong said: "It turned out to be because of this incident, I remember that Miao Miao's parents were in the construction team in the south, right?" ”

Yao Miaomiao nodded vigorously and looked at Yao Rong expectantly.

Yao Rong smiled, touched her head and said, "Then you go outside to play for a while, and when I'm done with things, I'll accompany you to your house again." ”

After appeasing the two children, Yao Rong went out to be busy.

Now the fairy tale world has completely established itself and gradually spread its business to several nearby cities.

The original production line was not enough to provide so many goods, so the factory was expanded again.

Today, the plant employs more than 50 people.

After arranging the affairs of the factory, Yao Rong accompanied the two children to lunch, and then took them back to their house.

The village chief was sitting at the door basking in the sun, and when he saw Yao Rong coming, he was very happy: "I also said that these two children went to play somewhere, and they even forgot to eat at home." It turned out to be going to you. They didn't bother you, did they? ”

In the past year, relying on the development of fairy tale world, the village has built a new cement road.

Villagers either go to work in the factory or grow vegetables in their own fields, and when the vegetables are ripe, they don't need to bother to find a buyer, and the factory will take them directly at the market price.

Gradually, the villagers' wallets swelled.

The village chief was in a good mood, and his whole spirit was more energetic, and he looked a few years younger.

Yao Rong said: "How come? Both children are very well-behaved. ”

Yao Rong greeted Miao Miao's parents in the house again.

She is now a busy person, chatting a few words, and the village chief directly asked Yao Rong's intention.

"That's right."

Yao Rong did not tell the conversation between the two children and her.

In fact, even if the two children didn't come to her, she would have similar plans.

"Now the business of the factory is getting better and better, and most of the employees are recruited from other villages and towns. They have a lot of trouble commuting to work every day, and they have to delay a lot of time on the road. I've been planning to build a staff dormitory for them for a long time. ”

"Aren't Miao Miao's parents just working in the construction team? I wonder if you are interested in setting up a construction team in the village and being your own boss? ”

Miao Miao's parents widened their eyes, obviously never thinking about this.

In their view, both their village and Jixiang Town represent poverty and backwardness.

It is not at all comparable to the bustling cities of the south, which are growing rapidly.

Even when they came back this time, they found that there had been a new change in the village, but there was still no way to let go of the deep-seated ideas.

Not only them, but even the village chief and Rui Rui's parents, who had been staying in the village, had never thought about this.

But now after listening to Yao Rong's words, Miao Miao's parents suddenly became enlightened.

Yes, the villages and towns are still in tatters, but the villages and towns are clearly developing.

As long as there is development, there is no shortage of job opportunities.

Maybe in the beginning, there weren't many job opportunities, and I didn't earn as much as I went to work.

But the benefits are also clear.

I can work for myself, and I can stay in my hometown and reunite with my daughter.

If it weren't for the compulsion of life, who would want to go thousands of miles away and not return home for several years?

Seeing that Miao Miao's parents had a look of emotion on their faces, Yao Rong got up and said goodbye.

"There is still some time before the Chinese New Year, you can discuss it and think about it again."

Miao Miao's parents thanked Yao Rong repeatedly.

They all knew that if it weren't for the personal relationship between the two families, the other party would have a big boss, and they wouldn't have taken the time to call them at all.

Yao Rong waved his hand: "Don't think that I helped you for the sake of the good relationship between the two families." ”

"I want to make you a role model and attract other young adults who have gone out to work to return to their hometowns to develop."

Her business can develop so fast, it is inseparable from the support of policies and relevant departments.

This can be regarded as a return for the favor.

The village chief's family discussed behind closed doors for several days.

Rui Rui's father often goes out to deliver goods, and thinks that what Yao Rong said is completely true.

Miao Miao's parents glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and nodded: "Give it a try." We've also saved a lot of money in the past few years, and if we can't do it, we'll go out to work again. ”

The village chief took the cigarette from his mouth and said, "I'll talk about the ugly things first." ”

"If your business can make money, of course everyone will be happy."

"If you don't make money, it's your own problem, and you can't blame others, do you understand?"

The village chief is an old man, and this is to vaccinate his second son and second daughter-in-law in advance.

But he really didn't need the shot.

Miao Miao's parents said they would do it.

They went to their co-workers and persuaded them to stay in their hometowns as well, and soon pulled up a construction team.

They are all veterans who have worked on the construction site for many years, so the construction team got started very quickly, built the staff dormitory in a very short time, and re-expanded the factory according to Yao Rong's requirements.

With this ready-made template, many people in the village who want to renovate their houses or rebuild new houses have also found the construction team.

In addition, many of the factory's employees were from other villages or towns, and with these employees helping to promote the news, the fame of the construction team soon spread to other places.

As the construction team completely established itself in the town, many people's minds also floated.

With this ready-made role model, will their children/brothers/parents be able to return to their hometowns to develop?

The train of the times is moving forward rapidly, and time flies, and it is the end of 1994.
