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

Chapter 262: The father-in-law is also a master at passing the buck, it's all your son-in-law's fault (please subscribe)
"Have your sisters gone to school?"

Feng's mother rushed home as soon as she got off work today. She had too many questions in her mind and wanted to ask her daughter and son-in-law!

In the first half of the year, she published five foreign articles and received foreign exchange coupons worth 6,000 yuan in royalties, but she was completely unaware of it.

I don’t know if her daughter Feng Jiayou knows about it?

Feng's mother guessed that she definitely didn't know.

because!

One night, she showed her daughter, as her mother, how much savings she had.

There is a deposit of more than twelve thousand yuan in the passbook.

But there was no mention of the foreign exchange coupons, and six thousand foreign exchange coupons at that, so even her daughter might have been kept in the dark.

Hide private money.

Realizing that her son-in-law had secretly hidden 6,000 foreign exchange certificates behind her and her daughter's back, Feng's mother was extremely confused and uneasy.

I must rush back home and ask what is going on!

But after getting home from get off work, I looked around the front and back yards but couldn't find my daughter and son-in-law. Even my one-month-old grandson was not at home.

what happened?

What time is it? It's rare for my daughter and son-in-law to stay out late like today.

"Mom, please don't say that. My sister and brother-in-law took the little squirrel out to play right after you left for work in the morning. They didn't take me, Liqin Liwen and the others with them. They were so mad."

"I've been out for a whole day, and I haven't seen anyone come back yet!"

Feng Jiamo grumbled angrily that she had been waiting at home for a whole day, and it was already dark, but her sister and brother-in-law had not come back yet. She was so anxious.

Feng Jiamo is still waiting for her elder sister to buy her some new clothes and a beautiful shirt to wear.

It’s all Zhu Shan’s fault!
I shouldn't have brought that little girl home today. She can't go out and play with her sister.

Those questions that Zhu Shan didn’t understand were actually not difficult at all, okay?

I don’t know what’s wrong with her brain today. She can’t even answer such a simple question.

Today, she and her second sister-in-law took a quick look at the questions and quickly helped her solve them.

Mad!
Feng Jiamo is getting angry just thinking about it now. Today is the first time her elder sister is out after her confinement and she will definitely make a lot of purchases.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you go there, you will definitely be able to get a lot of good stuff for free.

Now it's all blind!
I can only rely on my sister and brother-in-law to bring me whatever I want.

"Your sister and your brother-in-law went out with the little squirrel early in the morning? They haven't come back yet?"

When Feng's mother heard that her daughter, son-in-law and grandson had been out for the whole day, she was even more confused.

I just got out of confinement. How can I go out and stroll around all day? Won’t I be exhausted to death?

"Xuemin and Jiayou rarely have this much free time, so as a mother, stop talking too much!"

Seeing her daughter coming in with a bad look on her face, grandmother Gu Mu, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, gave her daughter a reminder.

Grandma Gu's mother has been living in the family for some time, and she has some understanding of the power her daughter holds in the family.

What does it matter to her as a mother if her granddaughter and her grandson-in-law are together?
Why is it that as soon as you get home from work, you start looking for someone in the front and back yards? The look on your face is really obvious.

"Mom! How could I say anything bad about them?!"

"Besides, he's been out for a whole day and hasn't come back yet. Am I not worried?"

There is always something stronger than anything else. Feng's mother really didn't dare to show any displeasure to her mother.

Besides, she is in a hurry!

I am anxious to know what is going on with those foreign-language manuscripts written by my son-in-law?

Now her good son-in-law has become famous again and is directly on the list of their main foreign exchange earners in the cultural field.

And it’s number one!

Today, Li Shuguang of Renwen Publishing House instructed her, as the mother-in-law, to urge her son-in-law Xuemin to keep up the good work and strive to write one or two popular medium-length or long novels.

There is not much money paid for short stories.

Moreover, Feng's mother also learned from Lao Zhou that her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin is now very famous outside!
Global best-selling magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Reader's Digest and Playboy in the United States have all commissioned articles from her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin.

Moreover, the royalties for commissioned articles have broken the highest royalties for domestic foreign submissions, and the unit price has risen to 20 cents per word.

What concept?
The equivalent of twenty meters of gold for a thousand words!
Twenty dollars per thousand words, and it’s actually rice gold, which is totally incomparable to the seven dollars per thousand words in China!
Moreover, there is also the share of copyright sales, which is the biggest part of the big profits.

If a medium-length or long-length best-selling novel could really be produced, the sales commission alone could be as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Not good!
Her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin can complete their cultural outlet's annual foreign exchange earning task with a single best-selling medium-length or long-length novel.

After all, their cultural outlet’s annual foreign exchange earning mission is one million US dollars.

The foreign exchange earning task of one million MiGold is not that big. Compared with other industrial and mineral outlets, which have a foreign exchange earning task of tens of millions MiGold throughout the year, the one million MiGold from their cultural outlet is definitely very small!
But it's not small either, because the total foreign exchange royalties they receive from their cultural outlets throughout the year is only a few hundred thousand.

With this call, the foreign exchange earning task has increased nearly tenfold, which is very stressful!

Think of this!

Today, Mr. Zhou from the Foreign Language Bureau was a bit unkind. He actually pushed her son-in-law out of the meeting.

She directly set a benchmark for her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin!
From then on, the task of earning foreign exchange from the cultural outlet fell directly on her son-in-law, the benchmark pioneer, who took the lead and rushed forward.

As the saying goes, those who are capable should do more work. Her son-in-law is indeed a pioneer of reform and opening up appointed by the higher-ups.

As a pioneer, you have to take the lead and charge forward.

Li Shuguang of Renwen Press even spoke directly, hoping that his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin would focus on foreign language manuscripts in the second half of this year.

You can temporarily stop writing domestic manuscripts.

"There's nothing to worry about! Xuemin and Jiayou are not children!"

Grandma Gu shook her head and smiled. Her daughter was used to being strong at home.

"Old Feng, why are you so late today? Come over here and ask you something!"

Feng's mother didn't talk much with her mother and helped in the kitchen, but her eyes were always fixed on the door. When she saw her husband, Old Feng, pushing a bicycle in, she quickly stuck her head out to greet him and called Old Feng over.

Son-in-law Cheng Xuemin was able to hook up with Old Zhou from the Foreign Languages ​​Bureau, but Feng's mother would never believe that Old Feng had no contribution.

and so!
His son-in-law published five or six foreign articles in succession in their Foreign Language Bureau and earned several thousand foreign currency royalties. Don’t even mention that you, the father-in-law who acted as a bridgemaker, don’t know about it!
What's wrong! ?

Are you and your son-in-law planning to rebel? You actually hide it from your family and make such a big move outside?

"Uh?"

"Are Jiayou and Xuemin not at home?"

When Mr. Feng heard his lover calling him like this, he immediately panicked and started shouting for help.

The reason why he came back a little late today was because he learned about the content of the Humanities Society meeting today from Lao Zhou in the afternoon!
It is not only about preparing for the Writers' Congress, but also about earning foreign exchange.

How can they complete the foreign exchange earning mission of one million dollars for the Foreign Language Bureau?
Father Feng was very surprised when he heard this, and then Lao Zhou's consolation made Father Feng roll his eyes. He really regretted letting Lao Zhou go to the meeting in his place today!
Old Zhou is such a dishonest guy!
He actually revealed at the meeting that his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin had earned a lot of foreign exchange by writing foreign language manuscripts.

I heard that my wife learned a lot from Lao Zhou at that time.

He also comforted himself with the task of earning one million MiGold coins. The task was indeed a bit heavy, but if his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin could write a best-selling hit, the task might be mostly completed.

If the product can produce two hits, his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin alone can complete the entire cultural outlet's annual foreign exchange earning task, so he told himself to go back and urge and encourage him!

Depend on!
Mr. Feng said in his heart, thank you!
Go back and urge him, does Father Feng dare to come back to this home?

So he was dawdling on the road, thinking about how to deal with his wife's attack, which is why he has only just arrived home. He was thinking on the road that he had to come back and meet his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin as soon as possible, so that they could have a good statement.

But who knows!

He had just entered the house when his wife stared at him and told him to hurry over.

"I heard from Jiamo that the couple went out early in the morning and haven't come back yet!"

"Old Feng, are you hot? Why is your head sweating?"

When Feng's mother saw Old Feng coming over reluctantly with sweat all over his forehead, she couldn't help but ask with a concerned smile.

"It's okay, it's a bit hot and stuffy indeed!"

Father Feng didn't know when he started sweating. The weather today was not very hot, and it was already evening, so it was actually quite cool with the wind.

When I walked in just now, I didn’t notice any sweat on my head. Why is it that I’m suddenly sweating all over?

"How can the weather not be hot during this dog days of summer?"

"Jingren, quickly wipe your face with a towel and go into the room to use the fan!"

The mother-in-law felt sorry for her son-in-law. When grandmother Gu saw that her son-in-law was sweating profusely, she hurriedly urged Father Feng to wash his face and go into the house to turn on the fan.

"Oh, okay mom!"

As if relieved, Feng's father nodded quickly and turned to leave. Jiayou Xuemin and his wife were not at home, so now was not the time to talk to Teacher Gu.

Otherwise, all the pressure will be on him as the father-in-law.

"Old Feng, isn't your towel hanging in the yard? What are you doing in the backyard?"

Feng's mother would not let her go so easily, and she took advantage of the fact that her daughter and son-in-law were not at home to make breakthroughs!

See if the testimonies of the father-in-law and son-in-law are consistent.

Immediately, he chased out, pointed at the towel hanging on the bamboo pole in the yard, and shouted with a smile.

"Ah?! Oh!" Father Feng was anxious to run away and ran to the backyard to hide far away, but the man behind him kept chasing him, and he realized that there was no escape.

"Old Feng, I have a question for you! Did you know that Xuemin wrote foreign-language articles and submitted them to Old Mi's Metropolitan and Reader's Digest?"

Feng's mother helped Feng's father get a basin of water for washing his face, and asked directly without beating around the bush.

"what!"

"Teacher Gu, you know everything?"

Father Feng wiped his face several times to wipe off the sweat on his head. He calmed down a little and asked in surprise.

"So you also know about this, Old Feng? I'm the only one in the family who doesn't know, right?"

Seeing her own old Feng with such an expression, Feng's mother lost her composure on the spot!
So Old Feng really knew about it, but the family was hiding it from his mother-in-law. What does that mean?
Do you feel that as a mother-in-law, she is watching you too closely, and that you have to write foreign language manuscripts in secret?

But I didn’t even look at two manuscripts?

Now their magazine "October" is not very serious. Didn't they publish a manuscript by her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin?

All forwarded!
Yes!
When Director Qiao first took office, the record was indeed written specifically for their "October", but in the end it benefited People's Literature, and their "October" forwarded it to make some money.

The following "My Years in the Corps" was also first published on his own makeshift magazine "Today", and they also reposted it in October.

Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot one!
The short story "New Year Greetings" is indeed their exclusive release in "October".

But all in all, as a mother-in-law, she only released this one exclusive post, and the rest were all forwarded.

Even with this, he still wants his mother-in-law to keep a close eye on him, and he has to hide and do things secretly?

Now everyone outside is saying this.

"Teacher Gu, you really wronged me! It was your son-in-law who didn't let me tell you and told me to keep it a secret!"

Mr. Feng was so panicked that he directly called Ms. Feng "Teacher Gu", and it was indeed his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin who did not allow him to say this.

Of course, Father Feng himself didn't want to be exposed.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong in putting all the blame on son-in-law Cheng Xuemin, because he is a habitual offender.

"Xuemin didn't allow us to tell?" Feng's mother still looked at Feng's father with a smile on her face, letting him continue to pretend and make excuses.

"Yes!"

"Xuemin didn't even tell his child that he wanted to prepare a big surprise for him. He said that his child had given birth to a baby squirrel and he had to prepare a small gift for her!"

"In order to keep it secret, let me hide it from you too!"

Father Feng continued to blame others. Seeing that his wife still looked unhappy, he didn't wait for her to ask, "Why did you hide it from her? Why don't you trust her as a mother?"

Then he continued to make excuses and said, "Of course, I didn't really want to hide it from you as a mother. In fact, Xuemin was thinking of giving you a surprise!"

Also give her a surprise as the mother-in-law?
After hearing this, Feng's mother's complexion really improved a little, and her face turned rosy. She asked, "There was a meeting at Renwen Press today, and Mr. Zhou from your unit said everything!"

"So, Old Feng, tell me, what kind of surprise gift did Xuemin prepare?"

"That's six thousand foreign exchange coupons?!"

"Old Feng, you are so sincere that you actually helped your son-in-law hide it from your daughter!"

Mother Feng really didn't know what to say to her husband, she just sided with her son-in-law!

I couldn’t imagine what kind of gift surprise would require so much money, and it had to be MiJin Foreign Exchange Coupons.

"This... Teacher Gu, let me tell you, can you please not tell Jiayou for now?"

"After all, Xuemin has been preparing this surprise gift for a while, and it will soon be given to Jiayou!"

"You mean it?!"

It was originally a question, but now Old Feng has kept her in suspense. Feng's mother is getting anxious. She wonders what kind of surprise gift her son-in-law has prepared.
And it's also for her, the mother-in-law. Feng's mother was immediately anxious.

"Dad, Mom! Tell me about your brother-in-law again. What surprise gift have you prepared for my sister?"

Feng Jiamo saw her parents talking secretly in the yard, and vaguely mentioned her elder sister and brother-in-law, so she sneaked over to eavesdrop on what they were saying.

It turned out to be a surprise gift prepared by my brother-in-law for my sister?
Feng Jiamo, who was equally surprised and excited, jumped out and asked.

Feng's father and mother were so frightened that they jumped up immediately. Feng's mother scolded angrily, "Feng Jiamo, are you born in the year of the cat? You scared me to death!"

"Go, go, go, I need to talk to your dad about something. You are a girl and you need to go back to your room and review. The college entrance exam will be in two days!"

"Go, go, go, I'll go back to my room to review!" Feng Jiamo stuck out his tongue. How could he be dismissed so easily? Then he urged, "Dad, tell me, what kind of gift and surprise did my brother-in-law prepare for me?"

"I know, I know. I will definitely keep it a secret and won't tell my sister in advance!"

"Dad, if you don't tell me now, when my sister comes back, I will tell her right away that you and your brother-in-law are doing something behind her back!"

Father Feng is completely dominated by his little girl. If he doesn't tell her, he will report her as soon as her sister comes back.

Therefore, he could only emphasize: "Just for you to know, Xuemin wrote a few foreign articles and earned 6,000 yuan in foreign currency!"

"He used the foreign exchange to buy a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment next door. He is currently buying new furniture for it. He will tell your sister when it is ready!"

"What? My brother-in-law bought my sister a big apartment next door?" Feng Jiamo was shocked when he heard it, and then exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean that my sister and brother-in-law didn't go out to play today, but played in the apartment all day?"

"Is it the same one we watched before the New Year?"

"No, I'll go over and take a look now. My sister and brother-in-law will definitely be in the new house with the little squirrel all day!"
