1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband
Chapter 148: Bought a gold necklace to please Feng Jiayou!
Chapter 148 Bought a gold necklace to please Feng Jiayou!
"Isn't it one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two?"
Hearing Cheng Xuemin's question, Feng Jiayou blurted out the specific amount of royalties. It can be seen that although she had not mentioned it to Cheng Xuemin, she had already calculated in her mind how much royalties she could get for "Parents' Love".
Even the fraction of fifty-two dollars was reported so accurately.
Women, oh women, you are so smart!
However, no matter how smart and calculating his wife was, she certainly didn't expect that Cheng Xuemin would also take back the royalties for the Three Kingdoms comic book.
"No, no, guess again, wife!"
Cheng Xuemin teased the woman by shaking his head and asked her to continue guessing.
"Another reprint fee bill?!"
Since it's not one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two, and seeing that her man looks so 'hateful', she would definitely guess more.
How to guess more?
Apart from "Parental Love", her husband's only remaining work in People's Literature was the reprint fee for "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office".
But because of the Tianjin Daily incident, those publications that reprinted "Lao Qiao" were pretending to be ignorant and getting something for free, and they occasionally received a few bills for their manuscripts.
But after the Tianjin Daily incident, I hardly received any reprint fee bills.
how!
Today again?
Although the reprinted manuscript fee is not much, most of them are around 80 or 90 yuan, but it is equivalent to two months' salary of an ordinary worker.
Even though Feng Jiayou herself was young, her monthly student allowance was only twenty-four and a half yuan.
Therefore, we really cannot underestimate these reprint fees.
"Then no, guess again!"
Cheng Xuemin shook his head again. The reprint fee form was ruined by Tianjin Daily, and there has been no more since then!
But even if there was no Tianjin Daily, I wouldn’t have received many copies!
After all, it has been a month. Those who were conscious have already given it. Those who were not conscious and got it for free will not be given it either.
Therefore, Cheng Xuemin does not expect to spend the New Year relying on the reprinted manuscript fees.
"It's not the reprint fee, then...Xuemin, you don't have any other manuscripts!"
Feng Jiayou tilted his little head and thought hard for a while, but after all the calculations, he found that not only was there no other manuscripts for which the royalties had not been settled at the People's Literature Publishing House, but also at the Yenching Literature Publishing House and the Shanghai Publishing House!
Her mother gave her the October manuscript fee for the United Front last night, which was 217 yuan for every 7 yuan per thousand words.
As early as last week, I received the sample issue and the manuscript fee invoice for the Shanghai Harvest.
Not to mention the novella published by Yenching Literature, which was settled and returned to them at the end of last month;
So the only one left is "Parental Love" by People's Literature, and I went to pick it up today.
Are there any other royalties?
"Xuemin, you didn't write another manuscript, did you?" Seeing that Cheng Xuemin still didn't say anything and looked at her like a silly woman, Feng Jiayou simply stopped guessing and asked directly, "Tell me the truth, which publisher did you submit it to this time, and how much was the fee?"
Thinking that this man was a repeat offender, Feng Jiayou felt more and more that this was possible. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this man was becoming more and more daring!
He had been writing the manuscript secretly without telling her, and now he didn't even bother to hide it and just let her guess.
Good, brave, awesome!
"No, no! My dear wife, you know that apart from those manuscripts, I have been busy with the long article for Today and the decoration of the new house. I really don't have time to write other manuscripts. I'll give you a little surprise!"
Looking at the sparks in my wife's eyes, I'm sure she was excited because she thought that more of the private money in the slush fund was being confiscated.
Cheng Xuemin quickly extinguished the woman's excitement. He couldn't let her think about it every day.
Now Cheng Xuemin is not afraid of thieves stealing, but he is afraid of thieves targeting him. He is even more afraid of being targeted by Feng Jiayou, the family thief.
"Then just tell me, where is the other royalties?"
This is not the case and that is not the case. Feng Jiayou is completely confused and really can't think of what other manuscripts Cheng Xuemin has for which he has not received any royalties.
"A Three Kingdoms comic book!"
Cheng Xuemin rolled his eyes, he had never seen such a stupid woman. He stopped teasing the woman and took out the two manuscript fee receipts he had and presented them to the woman.
"A comic book about the Three Kingdoms? Didn't you just hand it in today and get the royalties back?!"
"Really or not, so fast?"
When Cheng Xuemin mentioned the Three Kingdoms comic book, Feng Jiayou was visibly stunned. It really didn't seem like he was pretending!
But just as the woman questioned!
It is rare that you can receive the payment receipt on the same day for a manuscript submitted today!
Anyway, the few times Feng Jiayou accompanied him to submit manuscripts, he never received the manuscript fee receipt on the same day.
So it’s not surprising that women can’t guess or think of this, so it’s just a little stupid to have this doubt.
I went through all the manuscripts in Cheng Xuemin's hands, but I didn't find the one that was submitted today.
"It's really a Three Kingdoms comic book, over a thousand yuan!?"
When Feng Jiayou took the manuscript fee slip with doubt and expectation, he found that the first one on it was him. His eyes instantly lit up and his face shouted with ecstasy.
Then I looked at the second one, and it was directly one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two yuan!
Not to mention the excitement!
It’s a pity that we haven’t even had dinner yet, otherwise Cheng Xuemin would have celebrated twice on the spot.
The wife also noticed the lustful light in Cheng Xuemin's eyes, and knew that this man was being carried away again, so she quickly hid aside and happily counted her private money.
This time, she had more than 2,800 yuan in royalties to fill her small treasury. In an instant, her private money exceeded 3,000 yuan again, approaching 4,000 yuan!
Wait for Cheng Xuemin to finish writing the two scripts in hand, and work hard after the new year. It is only a matter of time before we return to the peak of 8,000 savings. This time will not be long, so it is worth looking forward to.
During dinner, Cheng Xuemin mentioned the decoration issues of the new house, which were basically done.
After hearing this, Feng's mother made a direct statement, urging the whole family not to escape and to go to the new house on Sunday to clean up and move in before the New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year.
"Hehe, sister! You have to go over this time too. Big Boss Cheng has prepared a big surprise for you!"
My sister-in-law Feng Jiamo suddenly sold out Cheng Xuemin out of the blue!
Is there a surprise or a big surprise waiting for me in the new house? Feng Jiayou stared at Cheng Xuemin with tears in his eyes, giving him a chance to tell the truth.
But since it was a big surprise, how could Cheng Xuemin give up everything now?
We must talk about it when we go there together the day after tomorrow, Sunday!
Only my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo was so talkative and ruined Cheng Xuemin's good fortune!
Originally, according to Cheng Xuemin's expectation, the whole family would be mobilized on Sunday to clean the house, excluding Feng Jiayou.
Originally I was thinking of waiting until we moved before Feng Jiayou went there!
Before going over, Cheng Xuemin had to lock the bathroom so that Feng Jiayou wouldn't find it for the time being.
In the evening he prepared hot water and created the atmosphere, then let Feng Jiayou take a bath. Just thinking about the scene and the atmosphere, Cheng Xuemin didn't even need to imagine how exciting it would be.
Unfortunately, his good fortune was ruined prematurely by his impatient and quick-talking sister-in-law.
"Wife, look what I bought for you!"
After washing up after dinner, Cheng Xuemin finally took out the gold necklace he bought today and placed it in front of his wife.
"You've been wasting money again, haven't you?!"
Cheng Xuemin didn't tell her the truth about what he did in the new house, which made Feng Jiayou feel itchy.
I wanted to ask Feng Jiamo, but I felt that what I heard from my sister and what I heard from her man must be two different things!
Hearing it from your sister might be a surprise, but hearing it from your man might be exciting.
So Feng Jiayou chose to take the risk and did not ask her sister.
She hopes her man can give her stimulation.
But now, this man of hers is buying things indiscriminately and trying to make her happy.
"Hey, Xuemin, you, you, you...why did you buy this for me?"
But when Feng Jiayou opened the box, he found a glittering gold necklace inside. He was shocked and excited on the spot, and couldn't help asking.
"I received nearly three thousand yuan in royalties today. I was in a good mood. When I passed by Lao Feng Xiang, I went in to take a look!"
"I fell in love with this necklace at first sight. It will definitely look good on you, my wife!"
“So I bought it!”
"Wife, tell me if it looks good or not, whether you like it or not!"
Cheng Xuemin saw his wife's excitement and surprise. It turned out that all women were born in the Year of the Dragon. They all liked this kind of shiny gold jewelry, and it was the same in all dynasties.
“It looks good, I like it!”
Feng Jiayou carefully picked up the gold necklace from the box, nodding repeatedly with joy in her eyes.
His eyes lit up again, and he asked, "Xuemin, this necklace...is this necklace...is it the same style that the heroine wore around her neck when we watched "The Chase" before?"
Women can see through this at a glance. It can be seen that when watching the movie, other women were attracted by the bell-bottom pants of the man. His wife is really a money-grubber. She even remembered the style of the gold necklace hanging around the man's neck.
awesome!
Cheng Xuemin sincerely sighed that women are really amazing, and then praised: "Yes, yes, my wife, you have a good memory. It's that necklace! The salesperson at Lao Fengxiang sold it to me in that way!"
“It’s really that model!”
Feng Jiayou's eyes brightened when he heard this, and he said quickly, "Xuemin, hurry up, bring it to me, bring it to me!"
"it is good!"
Cheng Xuemin took the gold necklace from the woman's hand, went around her back, and helped her put it on.
"Does it look good? Does it look good?"
"Xuemin, tell me, does it look good on me?"
As soon as Cheng Xuemin finished taking care of her, Feng Jiayou couldn't wait to stand in front of the glass mirror in the wardrobe and admire himself narcissistically.
"It looks so good! My wife, you look even more beautiful with this gold necklace on. You will look so delicate and beautiful with just a flick of your finger!"
It is true that people need clothes and horses need saddles. When a woman wears a gold necklace around her neck, her texture and charm will be enhanced.
"real?!"
Feng Jiayou glanced at Cheng Xuemin in the mirror, then looked left and right. No matter how he looked at her, she seemed pretty.
"I'll show it to my mom and sister-in-law!"
It was not enough for Feng Jiayou to admire her own narcissism. After she finished speaking, she walked out of the door and could not wait to show off to her mother and sister-in-law that her man had bought her a gold necklace!
Inevitably, screams from the women in the main house could be heard from behind, especially from my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo. From the sound of her voice, it seemed as if she was scrambling to put it on!
But she definitely couldn't snatch it away. Anyway, when her sister came back, her face was beaming with pride.
Later that evening, Cheng Xuemin made her sister's face even redder!
The next day, the couple was too lazy to sleep in. It was past eleven o'clock before Cheng Xuemin got up to make lunch for the whole family.
The following Sunday, the whole family, including the two children, went to the new house to clean.
Feng Jiayou was the most excited and wanted to know what kind of big surprise was waiting for her!
