There's always someone trying to break me
Chapter 49 The Third World
Xie Miaomiao nodded.
After several days of anxiety, Xie Miaomiao finally received a letter from the newspaper. The letter said that Xie Miaomiao's novel had been accepted, and it cost one yuan per thousand words, and it would be published in the newspaper in three days.
Xie Miaomiao is not clear about the manuscript fees in this period, but the prices have already been figured out. One yuan can buy 40 catties of rice, seven or eight catties of pork, one zhang of cloth, one meal of hot-boiled mutton, etc.
She wrote a total of 30 words before, which is [-] yuan. If she is not extravagant, it will basically take two or three months.
She still has 300 yuan left with her, and the rest of the several hundred yuan was spent so quickly because she didn't know the price and was cheated a bit miserably.
In order to get the manuscript fee as soon as possible, and to move out of this dilapidated house as soon as possible, Xie Miaomiao replied immediately and told the other party his current address.
Within a few days, Xie Miaomiao saw her novel The Legend of the White Snake serialized in the popular literature edition of "Shanghai Daily", along with the serialized novel she had read before.
On the day when the manuscript fee was mailed over, Xie Miaomiao was almost immersed in writing novels every day from the time he opened his eyes to the time when he closed his eyes and went to bed at night. Although the results were great, Xie Miaomiao succeeded in causing pain in his hands and neck pain.
Although Lu Zhenzhen didn't know what Xie Miaomiao was doing, but seeing how hard Xie Miaomiao worked every day, she could still guess a few points, so she offered to propose, "Mom, I want to sell newspapers on the street."
Xie Miaomiao glanced at Lu Zhenzhen in surprise. Since the second day after passing through, Xie Miaomiao never let Lu Zhenzhen go to the street to beg. Hence this proposal.
Xie Miaomiao didn't want Lu Zhenzhen to go to the street to sell newspapers. First, the world was too chaotic. I had watched many TV dramas of the Republic of China before. Beatings and murders often occurred on the streets. Although there were police, they were all gangsters. There are no human rights at all. If you die, you will die.
The second is that it doesn't cost much money, it's too hard, although children have to be self-reliant, but Xie Miaomiao is not at ease about what to do if something happens.
But keeping the child at home every day is not a solution. Xie Miaomiao originally planned to let Lu Zhenzhen go to school when she has money, so that she can not only absorb knowledge, but also change herself. After all, knowledge changes destiny. This is an eternal truth.
Thinking of this, Xie Miaomiao said: "Don't go selling newspapers. You have no future. Mom will teach you how to read at home. After a while, when you have money, I will send you to school."
This decision exploded in Lu Zhenzhen's mind like a thunderbolt, Lu Zhenzhen looked at Xie Miaomiao in shock, this was the first time she showed a different look in front of Xie Miaomiao.Lu Zhenzhen always thought that Xie Miaomiao's change was enough to surprise her, but this sentence shocked her even more.
It's not that she doesn't envy those who can go to school, it's just that for her who has problems with food and clothing, let alone such a luxury as going to school, Lu Zhenzhen has never even thought about it.
Lu Zhenzhen looked at Xie Miaomiao with complicated eyes, and her suspicions about the past became heavier in her heart. If she was only suspicious before, it is now confirmed. Maybe the real Lu Manman has really been killed, and the person in front of her is not someone To pretend is to be possessed by a spirit.
But... Lu Zhenzhen hesitated for a few minutes before making up her mind.She didn't want to care whether it was a ghost possessed or what the purpose of this person pretending to be Lu Manman was, she didn't want to care about it, she just knew that life like this is pretty good now.
Xie Miaomiao, who didn't know that she had been exposed, thoughtfully gave Lu Zhenzhen time to digest the news, because she thought it was her news that was too shocking, so Lu Zhenzhen looked at her with such complicated eyes, so Xie Miaomiao didn't take it to heart.
In the following days, Xie Miaomiao wrote novels every day, and then gave lectures to Lu Zhenzhen, becoming a teacher's addiction.
However, teaching is not so easy. Lu Zhenzhen has no background, so she has to start teaching pinyin. Fortunately, pinyin has already appeared at this time in the Republic of China.Xie Miaomiao spent a lot of money to buy an enlightenment book from a bookstore, which has pinyin on it.
In this era, the price of books is the highest. Wasn’t there a popular saying in the Republic of China at that time, that is, buy fewer books, and the money you save can buy a house.
Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's true. Books are expensive. It's the same whether it's the Republic of China in the real world or the Republic of China in this virtual space.
When Xie Miaomiao wrote the 30-word manuscript, the previous 756-word manuscript fee was finally sent. Xie Miaomiao was very excited with the newly released [-] yuan, and said to [-]: "I'm so happy!"
756 didn't expect that Xie Miaomiao could really earn money: "I admire it."
Xie Miaomiao seemed to be inspired, and happily talked about her plan to 756: "When I earn some more money, I will buy a house, invest the rest of the money, and open a factory to change our current situation in China. status quo."
756 laughed dryly: "...you still have such a great dream."
Of course, as a Chinese, I am afraid that when everyone studied the Republic of China in history textbooks at school, they would wish to travel back to the past and change the destiny of the country.Xie Miaomiao is the same as others, but he didn't have such ability before, so he only wanted to change his life, but now that he has money, those ideas have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Xie Miaomiao said disapprovingly: "Of course, as Chinese citizens, we have an obligation to do something for the country."
"Although the dream is big, the greatness is too big." 756 reminded with some despair: "Are you here to change history, or to complete the task!"
Xie Miaomiao calmed down, but she was still reluctant to part with her plan: "The two can sit together."
756: "But don't forget, this is not the Republic of China in the real world, even if it is changed, it will be useless."
Xie Miaomiao was not hit, but still excited: "Then I have to change."
756: "..." I've never seen such a passionate host like you.
Xie Miaomiao took the silent 756 as agreeing to her plan by default, but before changing the country, Xie Miaomiao still decided to make a change in his life first.
Although the manuscript fee of 30 yuan is not much for her who still has a huge sum of 300 yuan, it is the source of earning money, and there will be a steady stream of money in her pocket in the future.
With 330 yuan in his pocket, Xie Miaomiao took Lu Zhenzhen to find a new house to rent. Xie Miaomiao set his sights on the French Concession, which is safer than other concessions.
After running for a whole day, the two finally chose an exclusive small yard. The yard is not big, but there is a faucet and a pool for receiving water in the corner, which is very convenient for washing clothes and receiving water in the future.
The house is divided into east and west sides, the east wing has two bedrooms and one living room, and the west wing is the kitchen. The most important thing is that the house is powered on, so there is no need to suffer from lighting a kerosene lamp in the future.
However, after looking at the house, Xie Miaomiao did not rent it in a hurry, but took a closer look at the surroundings, and found that the people who lived there were all kind-hearted people, and then rented it.
If you rent a house in this era, if you have acquaintances, you can waive the deposit, but if you don’t have acquaintances, you need to pay two for one. Xie Miaomiao naturally has no acquaintances as a guarantee, so he can only choose the second one. Not much left.
Fortunately, the [-]-word manuscript has been written, and the manuscript will be sent out after the home is settled. I believe that the money will be sent in a few days.
After the house was built, Xie Miaomiao and Lu Zhenzhen began to move the family's things to the newly rented house. Fortunately, there were not many things at home, so Xie Miaomiao hired a car and moved them all in one trip.
Later, Xie Miaomiao and Lu Zhenzhen found the original owner of the house, and after returning the house, the owner readily gave Xie Miaomiao a two-month deposit.
After returning home to the newly rented house, the two started tidying up the house again. They worked until dark, and finally managed to tidy up. Xie Miaomiao and Lu Zhenzhen were exhausted. Xie Miaomiao didn't want to cook by herself, so she took Lu Zhenzhen out for dinner.
On the way back from the meal, the street was still very lively. Hearing the cries from both sides of the street, Xie Miaomiao was attracted by one of the small vendors selling sugar kneaders, so he stopped and walked towards the small vendor of sugar kneaders. go.
The candy maker was an old man, and the little candy figures he made were lifelike. There were many children around him. The old man asked for a low price, so the adults bought one for their children without hesitation.
Xie Miaomiao also ordered two. Although the old man was skilled, he could pinch one in two or three strokes, but there were too many people, and Xie Miaomiao and Lu Zhenzhen waited a long time for their turn.
Without raising his head, the old man asked Xie Miaomiao and Lu Zhenzhen, "What kind of sugar man do you want?"
Xie Miaomiao said: "Pinch it like me and her."
This answer is not new, many people wanted to pinch their appearance, the old man looked up at Lu Zhenzhen and Lu Manman, and pinched two quickly.
Then, the old man stuck the two sugar figurines on a thin round stick and handed them to Xie Miaomiao and Lu Zhenzhen.
These two candy figures are so lifelike, not only in appearance, but also in demeanor and temperament, just like a living person standing in front of them.Xie Miaomiao reached out and took Lu Zhenzhen's sugar figurine, and handed her own sugar figurine to Lu Zhenzhen.
Xie Miaomiao smiled and said, "You eat me, I eat you."
Lu Zhenzhen had no objection, but Xie Miaomiao didn't realize that her eyes stayed on her smiling face for a while longer. She was all focused on the sugar figurine in her hand. She liked it so much. Xie Miaomiao was a bit reluctant to eat it, but And I really want to eat it.
In the end, Xie Miaomiao still made a decision, that is to eat it, at worst, let the master who makes sugar figurines make some more tomorrow.
But after taking a bite, Xie Miaomiao didn't have much desire. After all, as Xie Miaomiao who has eaten countless candies in the 21st century, the taste of this candy is really ordinary, and it is only suitable for holding in the hand.
But Xie Miaomiao still reluctantly ate the rest of the candy figurines. After all, Xie Miaomiao bit off the head, and the rest would be unsightly to watch. It would not be good to throw them away. After all, the candy figurines look like Lu Zhenzhen , Lu Zhenzhen will definitely have an idea.
After barely eating the candy figurine, Xie Miaomiao turned her head to look at Lu Zhenzhen when she was about to get home, only to find that the candy figurine in her hand hadn't even moved.
After several days of anxiety, Xie Miaomiao finally received a letter from the newspaper. The letter said that Xie Miaomiao's novel had been accepted, and it cost one yuan per thousand words, and it would be published in the newspaper in three days.
Xie Miaomiao is not clear about the manuscript fees in this period, but the prices have already been figured out. One yuan can buy 40 catties of rice, seven or eight catties of pork, one zhang of cloth, one meal of hot-boiled mutton, etc.
