Luo Shengmeng has no feelings today

Facts have proved that cats are indeed creatures that can touch most human beings.

Regarding the question of Akutagawa himself bringing back a small three flower, everyone with bright eyes said nothing, and unanimously approved the proposal to raise the cat.

"..." Akutagawa, who hugged the cat and didn't say that he wanted to raise it, didn't have time to speak.

Life is very tight, and a group of little guys in the family are still working hard to scrape together a little money from everyone's salary, and partnered to buy cat litter and cat food for Xiao Sanhua.

Being accepted so smoothly, Xiao Sanhua seemed to be a little surprised. She shook her ears, tilted her head and thought for a while with a cute, furry face, and finally stayed in this home happily. However, he often sneaks out for a whole day during the day and doesn't come back to sleep until night.

He can open doors and even windows, which is ridiculously clever.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke knew that it was a wild cat. Cats like freedom, which seemed normal to him, but a wild cat would regard a home as a foothold, which was already a remarkable thing.Therefore, Akutagawa will never stop it from going out. When necessary, he will help to open the door, pat the other person's head, and say "be careful on the road" gently and calmly.

Yin and the others were a little worried about the safety of the cat at the beginning, but after Xiao Sanhua went out for a walk several times during the day and came back at dinner or late at night, this little anxiety dissipated.

After all, everyone has survived wandering for so long, so it is not difficult to accept.

……

Akutagawa Ryunosuke found a time for dinner, and while everyone was there, he contacted the publishing house and told everyone that he wanted to publish and sell his collection.

"Isn't that a good thing!?"

Everyone immediately beamed with joy, and Rin also clasped his hands in front of his chest with bright eyes: "As expected of Ryunosuke brother, he is super strong in every aspect!"

"Then Ryunosuke will become a great writer in the future?"

"Of course! That's Ryunosuke!" Yuuji grinned proudly, biting his chopsticks, "I heard it... When I was working, someone was discussing Ryunosuke's works! "

"what? What!?"

"What did you say?"

Yuuji: "They say 'Yanagawa Ryunosuke', he is a rare ghost in a hundred years! Ghost oh ghost, you are indeed Ryunosuke!"

"Oh oh oh!"

A group of little guys started cheering.

With the three-coloured cat nestled on his lap, Akutagawa Ryunosuke quietly listened to the group of people discussing, then drank a sip of miso soup, and asked calmly, "So, do you think publishing will be better?"

"?" Yin tilted his head, looking a little confused, "Isn't it... not good? Brother?"

Akutagawa looked at his sister, just about to speak, but suddenly realized something, and the words stuck in his throat.

...Speaking of which, Yin is already 14 years old.

At this age, is it better to go to school?It may be too late to delay.

Sayaka is 13 years old, Rin is 14 years old, Yuuji is 15 years old...

Knowledge can change the future life, Akutagawa has never doubted this sentence.

Even if I usually teach them some words and knowledge, but unlike Mr. R, Akutagawa thinks that he is not very good at being a teacher, and he usually thinks too much, so he is still not as good as the teachers in regular schools who are dedicated to imparting knowledge Bar?

However, the cost of getting everyone to go to school is very high.

After all, after going to school, they will naturally not be able to work around the clock like they are now. Even if they go to work part-time during the holidays, they will not make more money than they do now.

This means that Akutagawa Ryunosuke has to bear the tuition fees, textbook fees, uniform fees, pocket money, and all the daily expenses of the family in the future.

Short of money.

Very short of money right now.

Although Akutagawa contributed as many manuscripts as possible to earn manuscript fees, it was still a drop in the bucket.

But even so, Akutagawa Ryunosuke still wanted to send his sister and the others to school.

Therefore, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was worried about the unknown person who searched for his information and didn't want to be too conspicuous, the words of refusal froze in his throat and he couldn't speak.

"No, there's nothing wrong with it. As you said, it's a good thing...Well, I see. I'll contact the editor of the publishing house next time."

Akutagawa finally chose to nod calmly.

……

In the evening, Ryunosuke Akutagawa compiled a list of all the publishers who contacted him.

They were all publishing houses where he had submitted manuscripts and left his email address.

There are five in total.

In addition to the original Yanbo Publishing House, four other companies contacted him, but the most eye-catching one was the Alando Publishing House.

Different from other publishers who are so kind and kind, all kinds of emails to persuade him to come out to negotiate and sign a long-term cooperation contract, Alando Publishing House directly sent a very long book publishing contract in a simple and clear way.

Akutagawa carefully read it several times. In addition to the basic rights and interests of both parties, Alando Publishing House offered a very favorable condition. They will bear the publishing costs and be responsible for all matters throughout the process. They even offered him 15% of the royalties, which is superior. It's simply confusing.

After all, Akutagawa Ryunosuke is just a novice writer.

If it is a well-known hot-selling author, it is understandable for the publishing house to offer 15% royalties in order to rob people, but why would a guy like me with no reputation and background give such a superior contract? ?

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was short of money, was very moved, but his instinctive vigilance made him unable to accept it easily.

What if there is a trap?

Looking at his brother who was lost in thought, Yin rubbed his hair just after taking a shower, and leaned over curiously to have a look.

"What's wrong? Brother?"

Akutagawa articulated his confusion, Yin was stunned, and the two brothers and sisters got together and analyzed the superior contract non-stop.

The three-flowered cat nestled in Akutagawa's arms tilted its head, and sighed quietly.

This child... is too vigilant.

Sanhuamao thought in his heart, it is rare to have a sense of helplessness for doing bad things with good intentions.

In the middle of the night, after everyone fell asleep, the Sanhua cat quietly came out of the nest, opened the window, and slipped out as a whole.

It walked along the street familiarly, detoured several small paths, and finally crossed the gate of a certain house.

The cat walked forward slowly, and the shadow illuminated by the moonlight stretched a little bit with the pace.

In the end, it completely broke away from the animal posture and became a human shadow.

Holding a cane in both hands, with a mustache and a hat, the gentleman in British style rang the doorbell.

no response.

He pressed it patiently three or four times.

"Who is it! Is it worthless to disturb people's dreams at two o'clock in the middle of the night!?"

The owner, who was woken up by the doorbell, had messy hair and a stubbled beard, and came down from upstairs to open the door aggressively, with a grumpy face.However, the moment he opened the door, when he saw Mr. standing at the door, his ferocious expression froze on his face.

"Mr. Natsume Natsume!?"

The owner of the house, or Daisei Maruyama, the owner of Alando Publishing House, stammered out.

Then he suddenly bowed ninety degrees: "I didn't expect it was Mr. Natsume, I was really rude just now!!"

"Why did you come here specially? If there is a need, I will jump up and find you as soon as I call!"

The gentleman dressed in British style calmly looked at the man in front of him, "I called."

"Unfortunately, you didn't seem to hear it, but the reason is me. I'm very sorry for disturbing your sleep at night, but the matter is a little urgent, so I rushed to find you, and allowed me to apologize to you, Maruyama-kun. "

The gentleman of British style, or he has a more famous name-Natsume Soseki, said so, and then bowed slightly.

"How could it be!" The flattered Maruyama Daisei staggered two steps, and hurriedly bowed again, "It's my fault, I slept so hard that I didn't receive a call from Mr. It is a great honor for me.”

……

The next day, Ryunosuke Akutagawa received another email from the Alando Publishing House.

Like a prophet, the other party explained clearly what Akutagawa was worried about yesterday.

[...Your work was favored by a teacher who used to cooperate with our publishing house, and he guaranteed it, and your work has become very popular recently, so we are willing to make up our minds to take this chance and give you a preferential contract, which is also our hope Mr. Yanagawa, you can give priority to our company when you publish in the future. ]

[If Mr. Liu Chuan can make up a few more unpublished short stories, we can promise to give you a part of the manuscript fee in advance. I don't think any publishing house can offer better terms than ours!And the history of our publishing house is also very good. You can check our past publication records at any time, and the sales records are very good... Looking forward to your reply. ]

Akutagawa blinked his dark eyes, tilted his head, and looked confused: Who is the teacher who is willing to vouch for him?

aside.

Yawning, the three-colored cat lying in the nest stretched, flicked its tail and began to doze off.

……

Akutagawa Ryunosuke finally authorized the other party to publish his own collection of novels.

There are two most important points: the first point is that the other party does not need to negotiate face-to-face, and all communication is limited to the Internet; the second point is that the other party offers the highest royalties.

Akutagawa sorted out the more than 20 short stories he had contributed so far, and then spent another week adding a few new ones. He collected 31 and sent them all to the publishing house.

There is no need for any self-introduction, only Ryunosuke Yanagawa's signature is left.

The first batch of [-] copies was printed, and the cover of the collection selected the title of the novel "Rashomon" submitted by Akutagawa for the first time. According to the publicity plan and printing progress, they will sell it for the first time in about half a month.

The boss of the publishing house, the man named Maruyama Daisei kept the agreement and remitted a manuscript fee to Akutagawa in advance, which was very generous and generous.

While Akutagawa couldn't help but feel suspicious, he was a little relieved at the same time.

With more money, he felt that he could send his sister and companions to school in batches.

Girls are given priority, 13-year-old Sayaka, 14-year-old Silver and Rin are about the age of going to junior high school, and I don’t know if they can catch up with the class, but it probably doesn’t matter, after all, they are very smart children.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke did go to collect information on nearby schools, and he frankly explained his thoughts to everyone during dinner one night.

Except for the three girls who were stunned, everyone else nodded optimistically.

"For girls, if you learn more things, you will definitely live better."

"It's different from us who are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Girls still have to go to school, so they can find better jobs in the future."

"Like office workers, company bosses...they are all smarter than the rest of us, so it must be fine!"

"I, I don't have any opinions, but what if some bastard is learning to bully Sayaka and the others? What if they fall in love early? Ah, I'm a little worried."

"It's okay for the timid Sayaka... Tell me, which ordinary person can beat Yin? Silver is the strongest among us except Ryunosuke! Even if you haven't beaten ，我们就一群人围住揍他，大不了还有龙之介在呢。不过，早恋就免了，我绝对不允许有任何混蛋染指我们家的妹妹们！”

Everyone was very optimistic, except for the three girls who were about to go to school, who were at a loss. Gin tugged on Akutagawa Ryunosuke's sleeve and asked worriedly:

"Brother, the expenses at home—"

"don’t worry."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke rubbed his younger sister's head, showing a gentle and steady smile, obviously he looked like a teenager, but it made people feel extremely at ease.Like a reliable grown-up.

"Just leave it all to me."

"It's the same for you. I will send you to school one by one after the family has more savings." Akutagawa sitting in the center of the dining table looked at the group of boys and said calmly, "Sorry, there is no way to send them all at once for the time being." Send them all."

The boys who never expected that they had a share were also stunned and their eyes widened.

School, for them, is simply an unattainable existence.

They lived in the cold streets like wild dogs in the past, looking at the students passing by occasionally, even the emotions of envy and jealousy could not be born in their increasingly numb hearts.

It's just that it simply draws a boundary between it and itself.

It was an existence that would never concern them—as it should be.

But now, some people say that they will be sent to school.

"I...probably not suitable for school." Yuuji, who was the first to come back to his senses, touched his head, shook his head, and smiled: "I'm not smart, and I'm slow in learning knowledge. I'm behind in everything, so why not Go to work, anyway, I have plenty of strength, and I can help Ryunosuke share your expenses."

"I'm not going either."

Keji also raised his hand, "I have never experienced anything with those guys who grew up in the greenhouse. I can't get along with them. Let me sit in the classroom all day. It's better to let me work in a factory. I think I'm good at making money. more interested."

One or two take the lead, leading everyone not to want to go to school.

As the head of the family, Ryunosuke Akutagawa couldn't help but frowned, and finally ordered in a deep voice, "No one is missing, Yin, Sayaka, and Rin go first, and the others will go later. I will buy you practice questions. Write more when you have time, if you don’t know anything, you can ask.”

"As far as the school is concerned, I have already chosen it. Whether it is history or environment, it is well-known in Yokohama. The teachers are also good. When I went down to check the spots, I brought back a brochure. Silver, Sayaka, Rin, take a look, If there is no problem, this one will be confirmed.”

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had prepared everything long ago, pulled out the brochure from the wide pocket inside the windbreaker. The cover was painted with beautiful cherry blossoms and blue sky, and the neatly arranged school names were prominently displayed.

It was a private middle school located in the east of Kanagawa, Yokohama, Japan's international port city.

With a century-old history, the performance shines through.

——It is called the Junior High School Affiliated to Lihai University.

The author has something to say: I didn’t think about Zongwangwang, but I know that in Yokohama’s middle school, only Lihai is big (cover face)

Supplement: Regarding the comments, someone asked Li Haida if he was in Kanagawa.

Answer: Kanagawa District, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture (Japan's prefecture is larger than the city), Kanagawa District under Yokohama City, does anyone know that Lihai Grand View is Yokohama? ?

But I don’t care, the point is not them, it’s just a formality (Eating Melon Face.jpg)

The children have gone to school, and Jiejie can develop his career line with peace of mind.

Another: Does anyone know how old Miss Higuchi is? (I want to pry her over to be the editor of Mustard, but I guess it will take a few years for Higuchi to enter the society? I can't find the age_(:з」∠)_.)

Editor: Ms. Higuchi: Teacher Akutagawa!Are you tired of writing?If you are tired, please rest, I am not in a hurry! (angel face)

Editor·Crazy Cub Guard·Miss Higuchi: Huh?Reminder?Mr. Akutagawa is very tired, can you guys (referring to the magazine) fucking understand me? (ghost face)
