1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 178: Damn, you are our senior brother in the Chinese Department? (asking for monthly votes)
Faced with her man's encouragement, the greedy look in the eyes of the money-grubber Feng Jiayou became more and more lively. She weakly pretended to speak in northern Shaanxi dialect and asked with a grin, "Old man, how much is this!"

Then he carefully stretched out five fingers!
Too greedy!

This daughter-in-law is really bold in guessing. She confused Cheng Xuemin on the spot. He wished he could pin her under him and have sex with her!
Honestly, my guess was too damn... inaccurate!

Then, he rolled his eyes at his wife and scolded her with a smile: "Wife, I asked you to guess again, not to rob!"

"Five thousand? Why don't you just go and rob it?!"

Five thousand yuan, this woman really dares to guess, and she really dares to stretch out her little finger.

They got into bed last night, and the total amount was only about two thousand six or two thousand seven hundred yuan. If you ask her to guess again, it would be doubled. My wife, you are really good.

"Hehe, I just want to rob you! I just want to rob you, old man!"

"Tell me, old man, how many are there?"

There was a hint of cunning in Feng Jiayou's embarrassed smile, and her two dimples were so beautiful. She hugged Cheng Xuemin's arms with both hands, and acted coquettishly again as usual.

"Look, wife, take a look for yourself!"

Unable to resist the woman's coquetry, Cheng Xuemin surrendered and took out the manuscript fee receipt from his pocket.

"The People's Daily reprint fee is 460 yuan!?"

Feng Jiayou took the first manuscript fee invoice handed over by Cheng Xuemin, glanced at the amount and the title, and realized it was the reprint fee from the People's Daily. It was about the same as what the couple estimated when they were in bed, and there was more than a hundred more.

Because they estimated it at three yuan per thousand words, and if it was four hundred and sixty, then that would be the maximum reprint fee of four yuan per thousand words!
She happily took the first payment slip, and the money-loving little man looked at her old man again with burning eyes.

"Renwen Press charges 7 yuan per thousand words for a single volume manuscript. 805 yuan!"

Cheng Xuemin slowly held the woman in his trance with a sly smile on his face, and handed over the second bill for royalties. Feng Jiayou only took another glance at the amount and the heading, and was able to quickly figure out which payment it was!
"Bring it here, old man!"

Unable to wait for her old man to tease her one by one, Feng Jiayou took advantage of Cheng Xuemin's inattention and snatched all the royalties from his hand at once!
I found that the first sheet above was indeed the one I expected, a receipt for the royalties for the comic book of Romance of the Three Kingdoms published by Renwen Publishing House, for 1,488 yuan.

There are three volumes of picture books, each with 62 pages, so the total is 186. If it is 1,488 yuan, then eight yuan per page is correct.

The money-grubber Feng Jiayou's brain worked quickly and he found that there was only one card left.

All of a sudden, the burning urgency just now was directly diluted a lot, because there was only one royalties bill left, so how much more could it have?
She just guessed five thousand yuan. She really shouldn't be too greedy. No wonder her old man laughed and scolded her for not just robbing her.

So what is this extra royalty bill, and how much is it?
Could this also be a bill for reprinting the manuscript?
If it is a reprint fee, even if all four articles of "Reform and Opening Pioneer" are reprinted, it will be at most 460 yuan, and the total will be exactly 3,000 yuan.

"This...Xuemin, what is this manuscript fee?"

When Feng Jiayou carefully and slowly unfolded the bill of royalties, he found that the amount started with one thousand eight hundred. He quickly unfolded all of them and discovered that the last bill of royalties was the real big one.

One thousand eight hundred and fifty-two dollars!
In an instant, Feng Jiayou was so excited that he jumped up and down. He hooked his hands around Cheng Xuemin's neck, kissed him hard, and asked.

One thousand eight hundred and fifty-two dollars!

That’s the calculation!
Her husband brought back four bills for royalties today. How much was the total amount?

Four hundred and sixty plus eight hundred and five equals one thousand two hundred and sixty-five yuan, plus the one thousand four hundred and eighty-eight for the comic book, equals twenty seven hundred and fifty-three yuan!
The final maximum amount was 1,852 yuan, making a total of 4,605 ​​yuan!
Oh my god!

The money-loving little girl quickly calculated in her mind, and she was completely confused by the calculation!
Four thousand six hundred and five dollars! It was not much different from the five fingers she boldly held out.

"Mr. Li from Renwen Press is going to publish a book for your man, me!"

"Just in time! When I went there today, I happened to run into Mr. Zhang from People's Literature. He said that Renwen Publishing House was interested in publishing the novella "Parental Love" and asked me to go over and sign the agreement!"

Cheng Xuemin scratched the nose of his money-loving wife and said, "Don't be too doting."

"Ah!? Renwen Publishing House is going to publish a book for you?"

Feng Jiayou finally understood where the manuscript fee bill came from. Although the letterhead was also from Renwen Press, it didn't add up no matter how he calculated it.

She actually wants to publish a book for her old man, the one called "Parental Love", which counts as something special!

The price of publishing a book is the same as that of a single volume!

The maximum price is still seven yuan per thousand words!
One thousand eight hundred and fifty-two yuan, which is the same as the royalties for the previous article published in People's Literature. Feng Jiayou also realized it.

"Ok!"

"Mr. Li from Renwen Press also said that after this issue of Yanjing Literature is finished serializing, the novella over there can also be synchronized and published as a single volume together!"

"Old Li has already informed Yanjing Literature and asked us to go to Renwen Publishing House to sign an agreement later!"

Cheng Xuemin spoke to his wife in a calm and non-surprising manner.

Because the two issues of "Parental Love" have been published by People's Literature, Renwen Publishing House has launched a project to publish a single volume.

At the same time, the publication of the first half of Cheng Xuemin's novella from Yenching Literature also received a great response. Lao Li's Renwen Publishing House also read it and can publish it as a separate volume!
However, Yenching Literature has only published the first half so far, and the second half will be published in this issue.

Therefore, the publication of the single volume can only wait until next month. Mr. Li from Renwen Press has already informed Cheng Xuemin about this this morning.

"real?!"

"Doesn't that mean you still have a bill for your writing? My guess of 5,000 yuan was absolutely correct, and it's even more than that?"

"Take it out quickly!"

Feng Jiayou became even more excited now. He started to look up Cheng Xuemin again and again, wanting to dig out the manuscript fee invoice for the novella from Yenching Literature.

That is also a long novel with more than 200,000 words. If it is priced at 7 yuan per thousand words, it would still be 1,700 to 1,800 yuan.

How can it not make women excited?

"No, no, I've already told you that we have to wait until the second half of the book is published in this issue of Yanjing Literature before Old Li can issue a single volume!"

"Mr. Li is just giving you a heads up today. How can someone apply for a royalty bill if the agreement hasn't even been signed?"

Afterwards, he couldn't help but play around with his wife, but because his second sister-in-law and others were outside, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous and let the woman take a nap and rest.

After a good night's sleep, I went to the post office on the way to school, picked up the manuscript fee receipt and put it away.

But how could an excited woman take a nap so easily!
Now Feng Jiayou secretly locked the door again and started to calculate how much private money she had in her little piggy bank!
Today, her husband brought back four bills for royalties, totaling up to 4,600 yuan.

Add to that the 1,888 yuan betrothal gift that her mother had returned, and the remaining money would be 6,400 yuan!
Feng Jiayou follows the principle that if money is not saved, it will be spent recklessly, so he plans to save all the royalties he received today!

I only had less than a hundred yuan left in my hand for household expenses.

Cheng Xuemin has no objection to this. Having come to this era, he doesn't really have much demand for material things.

Feng Jiayou gave him twenty yuan as a pocket change, but Cheng Xuemin didn't use any of it for several days.

I usually give some to my sister-in-law, two nephews and nieces, and now I have my own little nephew and cousin.

Otherwise, Cheng Xuemin really doesn't spend much money.

It was not easy to coax the woman to sleep. Now she was pregnant with two children. In addition to eating well, she also had to sleep well to help the development of the fetus. Cheng Xuemin did not have the habit of taking a nap, at least not in winter.

While the woman was taking a nap, Cheng Xuemin took a break from his busy schedule and started writing the manuscript.

This article is prepared for my mother-in-law's "October". He can't let his mother-in-law urge him every time, so Cheng Xuemin calculated the time.

Although Mother-in-Law's October magazine is a monthly publication, the second issue of this year will be released next month, so time is actually quite fast.

Besides, Cheng Xuemin might go to shoot The Wrangler next month, so he has to prepare the manuscript first. Now he happens to have some time.

As for the matter of Yanda's specially-appointed lecturer, Cheng Xuemin has not yet revealed a word to his wife.

This is a big surprise, and Cheng Xuemin must give the impression of a big surprise.

If I had just said that!
My wife, who has already been stimulated by the continuous royalties, may not react much when I tell her about the special lecturer position at Yanda University.

So I'd better wait for my wife to cool down before I start the war again.

of course!

Cheng Xuemin agreed to be a distinguished lecturer and told Director Yang at noon that he might not have much time to teach this semester.

After all, Cheng Xuemin had an arrangement to go out and shoot The Wrangler, which he had promised Director Xie Jin years ago.

If a lecturer is specially hired here, teaching courses will definitely be arranged, and he may have to take a long vacation. Cheng Xuemin has to explain this situation to Director Yang in advance.

When Director Yang heard this, he patted his thigh and said that this was absolutely no problem.

He was specially hired as a lecturer in the Chinese Department of Yenching University, and Cheng Xuemin's preparation for the exam was also taken into consideration, so he will not be assigned too many teaching tasks this semester.

Main courses are generally not arranged. At most, Cheng Xuemin will be given a few elective courses to help him adapt.

"Oh, this old man is really amazing!"

When Feng Jiayou woke up, she found her man was still writing furiously. She did not disturb him but quietly looked at his back. He was so charming!
Sure enough, men who are only interested in making money are the most charming!
It's the same in any era.

Outside, my second sister-in-law, older sister, and cousin have all started reviewing and memorizing the materials.

Cheng Xuemin had already made this request to the three of them.

Although I was at home and there was no one to supervise me, the daily schedule had to be according to the school's. The timetable he made was based on that of the affiliated high school, and it included the time for morning reading and evening self-study.

Apart from shopping for groceries, cooking, resting and sleeping, we have to review in the small classroom in the main hall just like going to school.

You can't hide in your room, you must have a plan, otherwise you will be too casual.

After saying hello to the three of them, he took Feng Jiayou out and went to the post office first to withdraw all the royalties from the four payment slips!
This again caused a wave of shock among the post office staff, but they were all old acquaintances. Cheng Xuemin and his wife had often withdrawn money from their post office, so it was nothing strange.

But this time it’s the most!

The most I earned before was just over 2,000 yuan, but today, four royalties bills totaled over 4,600 yuan.

If it weren't for the title on the royalty slip, people would have known where the money came from, and might have reported it and investigated the couple.

Looking back at the bank, I was hit hard by another wave of shock.

I also had the payment slip in hand, so I didn’t have to explain too much!

Seeing that the deposit in her passbook had returned to more than 6,000 yuan, Feng Jiayou, his wife, was so happy.

hold on!
Once the long novella published by Yenching Literature is published and she receives the royalties, her small treasury will be able to return to its previous peak of 8,000 yuan, and she can continue to make another push towards the 10,000 yuan mark.

Speaking of millionaires!
Cheng Xuemin has been reborn for almost a year, but he has not yet achieved his first small goal of becoming a "ten thousand yuan household". It really brings shame to those who have been reborn through time travel.

We still have to hurry up and make it happen. This time we have to strive to become a ten thousand yuan household before we can do other miscellaneous things.

After sending Feng Jiayou to the classroom for class, Cheng Xuemin also saw that it was about time and went to the Academic Affairs Office of Yan University to complete the employment procedures.

"Hello, hello, I said hello, I said hello!"

"Principal Zhou and Director Yang have already informed us that we should start Pioneer!"

"Xuemin, you are so awesome now!"

The staff at the academic affairs office received Cheng Xuemin too enthusiastically and repeatedly told him that their superiors had already informed him.

Not only did the department head, Mr. Yang, say hello, but Principal Zhou also personally came to say hello.

It is required that the recruitment of this pioneer of reform and opening up must be handled as quickly as possible.

Therefore, the academic affairs department has already prepared all the necessary documents for joining the company, and we are just waiting for Cheng Xuemin to report in and sign to start work.

"Thank you, Teacher Cao. Thank you, Teacher Cao!"

Cheng Xuemin did not expect that the admission process here would be so fast, and the academic affairs teacher Cao even asked about Cheng Xuemin's household registration.

It would be easier to handle the matter knowing that I already have his proof of moving out.

Teacher Cao directly gave a work certificate. Cheng Xuemin only needed to take the work certificate to the street office in the jurisdiction of Yanda to handle the household registration.

After completing the entry procedures and obtaining the work certificate, Cheng Xuemin expressed his gratitude to others again.

Then, as Director Yang instructed, I went to the Chinese Department teachers' office first to get acquainted with the teachers.

The faculty office building of the Chinese Department of Yan University is in the Yiyuan area, between the teaching building and the dormitory. In the past, Cheng Xuemin often passed by here when he picked up and dropped off Feng Jiayou.

When Cheng Xuemin entered the office building, Director Yang had already finished class and was waiting for him.

After saying hello and knowing that Cheng Xuemin had completed the employment procedures, he took Cheng Xuemin to meet and get to know the teachers and professors present.

Among them are professors Xie Mian, Wang Tangfu, Guo Xiliang, as well as lecturers like Cheng Xuemin such as Dong Wenxue, An Qiuping, etc.

Anyway, Cheng Xuemin didn’t know them very well, but they were basically Feng Jiayou and the others’ teachers.

Now I didn’t expect that I would be working in the same office with them, and after next semester, I would be their student.

never mind!

I should change my major next semester!
Originally, when the professors and teachers present saw such a young comrade like Cheng Xuemin come in, they thought at first that he was a student from other departments of their Yan University.

After Director Yang introduced him to everyone, there was inevitably a burst of exclamations and applause. Everyone pointed at Cheng Xuemin and said, "So you are the senior brother in our Yan University Chinese Department, the pioneer of reform and opening up who was appointed by the higher-ups to write the inscription!"
Good guy!
Old Yang actually recruited their senior brother from the Chinese Department of Yan University, who was the designated pioneer of reform and opening up.

No wonder Lao Yang was humming a tune while we were having lunch together at noon today!
