From abandoned baby to CEO
Chapter 238 The Prodigal Son Returns
The reason why Sun Xue said such words to Sun Pengfei was because she didn't want Sun Pengfei to fall down.
How she hoped that Sun Pengfei could become stronger in the face of difficulties, fulfill their agreement, and grow with her.
She knew that if Sun Pengfei failed to pass this hurdle this time, his life would be completely ruined.
She didn't want to watch her beloved ruin her bright future.
......
As he writes more and more, Sun Xue's literary level is also constantly improving.
She found that the subject matter she was good at was still novels. She likes to conceive of a wonderful story and integrate her own understanding of the world into the story.
In addition to the serialized novels in the school newspaper, Sun Xue finally found time to bring her unfinished novel to a successful conclusion.
This can be regarded as the first full-length novel that I have actually written. Although she had no chance to publish it, she enjoyed the creative process and accumulated a lot of experience through constant trial and error.
……
Surprises always come quietly when one doesn't expect them.
One afternoon more than two months later, without any warning, Sun Xue suddenly received a notice from the editor of Quancheng City Weekly.
The editor told Sun Xue that the weekly newspaper was preparing to discover a group of young authors with potential in writing novels. The editor accidentally saw Sun Xue's submission a few months ago and thought Sun Xue's work was pretty good, so he contacted her.
The editor said: If the work can be popular among readers, there will be a chance to become a contract writer for the weekly newspaper.
This is exciting news!
Sun Xue had almost forgotten about this matter, it was simply an unexpected surprise.
The editor asked Sun Xue to write the first 20 chapters of the novel and send it to him.
After receiving the notice, Sun Xue carefully revised the content of the first 20 chapters overnight and sent it to the editor immediately the next day.
The editor who received the manuscript was very surprised by Sun Xue's efficiency. When Sun Xue called the editor, the editor praised Sun Xue a few times on this matter.
Sun Xue is so grateful for her original decision to insist on finishing this novel.
Now I can have time to polish my work.
A week later, Sun Xue received the sample newspaper and manuscript fee from the newspaper. Seeing her novel published in the newspaper, Sun Xue's inner joy could not be expressed in words. This will mean that she can publish novels in newspapers every week. Her previous works have been spread on campus, and more people will see her novels in the future.
In that era when newspapers and periodicals were the main media, this was something to be proud of!
The editor told Sun Xue that she was not yet a contracted writer for the weekly newspaper, so the manuscript fee was relatively low. If the contract was successful, the manuscript fee would increase.
Although the royalties were only a few dozen yuan, Sun Xue was already very satisfied. This opportunity was so important to him. It gave her a shot in the arm and gave her great confidence in writing novels. It is also because of this opportunity that Sun Xue can move faster on the road of creation.
She firmly believes that as long as she keeps working hard, she will one day become a contract writer for the weekly newspaper. It is only a matter of time.
At this point, Sun Xue has absolute confidence.
Sun Xue's first thought was to share this exciting good news with Sun Pengfei to encourage her.
Counting on my fingers, I haven't been to Uncle Jianjun's place for almost two months, and I don't know if they are doing well now.
She knew that Sun Pengfei happened to be at home on Sunday.
When passing by the vegetable market, Sun Xue used the royalties she earned to buy two kilograms of pork and some vegetables. She wanted to improve their food.
She could imagine that with the current living conditions, the father and son would not even be able to afford meat, so just having a full stomach would be considered good.
Sun Xue knocked on Uncle Jianjun's house expectantly.
It was Sun Pengfei who opened the door.
"Xue'er?"
Sun Pengfei, who was standing at the door wearing an apron, was very surprised when he saw Sun Xue outside the door.
"Ah! Are you acting like a chef?"
Sun Pengfei wiped his hands on his apron again and again, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "What a chef, he just can cook the food."
Sun Xue walked into the kitchen, and there were freshly cut potatoes on the plate.
"Pengfei, what are you going to cook?"
"Fry some shredded vinegar potatoes."
Seeing the shredded potatoes on the plate, Sun Xue couldn't help but laugh. Where are the shredded potatoes? The thinnest ones are as thick as chopsticks and uneven in thickness.
Sun Xue deliberately picked up a few potato shreds from the plate, held them up to his eyes and looked at them carefully, nodded, and said seriously: "This is the thinnest potato shreds I have ever seen!"
Sun Pengfei's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and he said, "I'm studying hard, don't laugh at me."
Seeing this, Sun Xue quickly smiled and praised: "I really can't compliment you on your knife skills, but compared to you who couldn't wash a pot before, it's a leap forward."
After Sun Xue praised him, Sun Pengfei rubbed his hands and smiled sheepishly.
Sun Xue took a look around the kitchen and found that except for a bag of potatoes and a bag of cabbage, there were no other vegetables in the kitchen.
"Pengfei, you and Uncle Jianjun won't just eat potatoes and cabbage, right?"
Sun Xue asked distressedly.
Sun Pengfei nodded, but then smiled and said: "Although the dishes are relatively monotonous, I cook them in different ways. I have learned several methods now. Vinegar shredded potatoes, spicy potato slices, vinegar cabbage, and stewed potato slices. Cabbage...yes, and occasionally fried potato cubes, there are five ways in total."
Sun Pengfei counted on his fingers enthusiastically, with a proud look on his face.
Seeing Sun Pengfei's serious look, Sun Xuexiao burst into tears, and felt a little sour after laughing.
As soon as Sun Xue entered the door, she noticed that Sun Pengfei was much thinner and darker than the last time he saw him.
Why! Life is really not easy for this father and son!
But what makes Sun Xue happy is that the energy in Sun Pengfei has returned, and he has matured a lot.
"I'll improve the food today and I'll make some meat dishes for you!"
Sun Xue pointed to the meat on the table and said.
"Really? I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I almost forgot what meat tastes like."
Sun Xue felt uncomfortable after saying this.
"Pengfei, guess what I earned today's meat money?"
"do not know."
"Pengfei, my serial novel was published in Quancheng Weekly"
Sun Xue handed the newspaper he carried to Sun Pengfei.
"Xue'er, you are really amazing!"
Sun Pengfei gave Sun Xue a thumbs up while watching.
When Sun Jianjun came back from the breeding farm, Sun Xue had already prepared the meal. Because there was no refrigerator, Sun Xue fried all the meat she bought, and the dishes were full of meat slices.
Seeing Uncle Jianjun and Sun Pengfei eating with gusto, Sun Xue felt particularly accomplished.
After dinner, Sun Pengfei cleared the table skillfully and started busy washing pots in the kitchen.
Sun Xue pointed to Sun Pengfei in the kitchen and whispered to Sun Jianjun with a smile: "Uncle Jianjun, I feel that Pengfei is much more sensible than before."
Sun Jianjun said with a happy face: "During this period, this guy has become a completely different person. Finally, the prodigal son has turned around!"
