Go to the Republic of China to engage in industry

Kangtu knows all these things. He accompanies his wife back to her natal home every year. The parents of Kang’s wife’s natal family are fine. They are happy to see their daughter coming back. A joyous custom is needed.When Kang's wife left, she and the old couple were tearful, and they didn't know whether the crying was parting or the difficult days ahead.

Kang's wife cried a lot, and Kang Tu spoke softly to comfort her. Kang's wife wiped her tears and got up to go to her mother's house.Kang Tu didn't want his wife to suffer that anger, Kang's wife said with tears in her eyes: "I just like to suffer that anger. If our family is rich, every time I go back home, I will also bring big and small packages. How dare my brother and sister-in-law do it?" If I flinched like I did, I dared to throw something in my hand on their faces, scolding them to the point of embarrassment.

Now if I don't go to my natal family to borrow money, how can I live at home, and take a nap with the whole family on the street? "

Kang Tu was speechless, and Kang's wife went to her mother's house.Kang's father and Kang's mother came out of the house, and Kang's father said to Kang Tu: "Tu'er, I know you have been raised by us since childhood, you can't lift your hands and resist, you have a good face, and you can't accept the decline of your family for a while. But now The situation at home is all supported by your wife, please see that she has not lived a good life for so many years since she married you, so stop clinging to her ideals.

If you can read and write, you can find a shop to be the shopkeeper at will. If you don’t ask for more, our family’s life will not be so difficult in four or five oceans. "

Kangtu cried bitterly, "I'll look for it, I'll look for it."

About an hour later, Kang's wife came back, her eyes were obviously crying, she covered her face with half a veil, and said in a muffled voice: "I borrowed money from my wife, and when I returned the rent, I met the landlady who came to urge the rent again. gone."

Kang Tu said: "I'm sorry, I will look for a job in the afternoon, as long as I can make money, I'm not picky."

However, Kang's wife was not happy, she just nodded silently and was about to go back to the house.Kang Tu inadvertently saw a red and swollen patch on Kang's wife's cheek, and felt that something was wrong, immediately hugged him, grabbed the veil, and saw that half of his wife's face was red and swollen from the beating.

Immediately, Kang Tu was furious, and said angrily, "I'll go to them to argue, even if I don't borrow money, I can't ruin you like this."

But Kang's wife hugged Kang Tu tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"It wasn't my brother and sister-in-law." Kang's wife cried, "I did it myself. They didn't want to lend me money, let alone allow my parents to give me money. I knelt on the ground and begged, but they were still unwilling. I just slapped myself."

At that time, Kang's wife knelt on the ground, slapped her face severely, and scolded herself for being unfilial.In the end, her parents were moved, and regardless of the opposition of her brother and sister-in-law, they gave her the money.In fact, Kang's wife was coercing in disguise. If she hadn't coerced like this, it would be absolutely impossible for her to get money from her brother and sister-in-law today.

But she got the money, what will her parents do after she leaves?How could brother and sister-in-law give her parents good looks?

These Kang wives all understand clearly, but she, but she is really desperate.

After Kangtu heard this, he slapped himself hard on the face, "It's all my incompetence, it's my fault, I'm going to find a job now, as long as I can make money, it's my life, and I'm also admit."

With Kang Tu like this, Kang's wife didn't dare to let him go, she was afraid that something would happen if he got angry and went out, so she hurriedly stopped him.

"Brother Kang is at home?" Suddenly someone shouted outside the door.

Kangtu and his wife looked at each other, and after cleaning up their expressions, Kangtu went out.

"It's Brother Zhang, why are you here?" Kang Tu forced a smile.

Brother Zhang noticed the red palm print on his face, "What's wrong with your face?"

Kangtu looked away uncomfortable, "No, it's nothing."

At this time, Kang's wife also came out to welcome him, and Brother Zhang saw the redness and swelling on Kang's wife's face, and he seemed to understand something immediately, and said earnestly: "Kang Tu, this is your fault, don't blame me as a big brother for talking about you, It has not been easy for your wife to be with you these years, she is filial and virtuous, even if there is something wrong, you can't do it."

Kang Tu knew that Big Brother Zhang had misunderstood, but he had to acquiesce in how to explain.

When Brother Zhang taught, he saw that Kang Tu had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, so he said: "By the way, I came here to announce the good news to you today. There is a newspaper recruiting a comic book artist. You don't need to be famous, as long as the pictures are good. The monthly fee is paid by the month." Settlement, at least five oceans per month. I remember you can draw pictures, and I will tell you when you see them in the newspaper."

For Kang Tu, there was no better news than this. Kang Tu thanked him, changed his clothes and hurried to the office of Wuxu Lianhuan Pictorial Newspaper.

Originally, it was lunch time, and Kangtu thought that there was no one in the newspaper office. Who would have thought that when he arrived, all the staff members in the newspaper office would be there.

Originally, those people were not enthusiastic when they saw him, but when he said that he could draw, their attitudes changed immediately.Then he led him to a room, opened the door and he realized that it was a studio, there were already seven people in the room, three of them were obviously stewards, and there was a child, who should be the child of the steward's family.

Seeing what the man who brought him here said to one of the young men with the most gentle temperament, the young man looked to him like a gentle and graceful young man.

Kang Tu was dazzled by the young man's appearance, and then he heard the young man introduce himself: "Hi, my name is Shen Chengrun, and I am one of the owners of Wuxu Pictorial."

The child Kang Tu saw was Shen Chengran.Shen Chengran was brought by Shen Chengrun's side to personally teach him how to do business. If he went out to play with his classmates, he would send Shen Chengrun to Shen's Co., Ltd. to study.

It's not that busy with newspapers recently, Shen Chengrun asked Shen Chengran to come over at noon.

Kang Tu hurriedly introduced himself, and Shen Chengrun introduced other people for him.

Shen Chengrun said: "It's just right, let me tell you about the requirements together.

This time I invite you to gather together to hope that you can draw the four great classics with comic strips. The simpler the text, the better. The main thing is that the pictures must be exquisite and can clearly express the content of the story. "

This is nothing, this is the most basic requirement of their painters, even beginners can do this.

"That's okay, just don't say anything else, that is, "Water Margin" doesn't count the side characters, and the main heroes alone are [-]. How can you draw this? In the end, it's all messed up."

"It's simple, as long as the simplest character design is enough." Shen Chengrun said: "Take "Water Margin" as an example. Characters that have only appeared once in it are not counted. For those who have appeared more than twice, we will use the description of the appearance and appearance of the characters in Water Margin. He combines the characters in the story, and then draws the characteristics of the characters according to his own understanding, so that people can remember them at a glance.

For example, for the character Zhuge Liang, the first thing we think of when we mention it is the Lufan Lun Towel, so I will draw him in white clothes and holding a lupine.However, Zhuge Liang does not give people the impression of being that strong and strong man, so we should not draw him so strong when we paint.The dress of a weak scholar.

Note that the characters must be exquisite and gorgeous, so that people will love them when they look at them.

These small portraits are character sets, and each character must have a separate portrait of this kind.When drawing in the future, I will draw according to the original clothing settings, except for special scenes, other scenes do not need to be changed, so that it is easy for readers to remember, and it also prevents us from getting confused.

It will be embarrassing for us authors to be singled out by readers. "

Kang Tu and others also felt that this method was good, but in fact, it was not troublesome just to draw one more picture.

"You don't need to be too stressed, there will be painters joining in later."

There was a sound of footsteps downstairs, and several people dressed as clerks came up, all carrying food boxes in their hands.

"Gentlemen should have never had lunch, so it happened to be eaten together. In the future, gentlemen may have to bother more. We will report to the library for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Of course, the salary will also increase. In addition to the five oceans mentioned earlier, each designed character will be given a dime. As for each chapter of the story, in addition to the daily tasks stipulated by the newspaper, an extra chapter of comics will be added every day. "Shen Chengrun said.

Shen Chengrun has always believed that hard work pays more, and rewards follow to motivate.

These painters themselves are masters who are short of money, so they are naturally happy.If you don’t want to make more money, you can just complete your job. If you want to make money, then paint more, and the more you paint, the more you get.

There was no need for Shen Chengrun to urge them. These painters would work overtime to paint pictures. Sometimes it was too late, fearing that it would affect the work of the next day. Shen Chengrun had to order the museum to close at [-] o'clock every night.

The comic strips were also advertised in popular newspapers such as Shenbao, and they became popular before they were published.

On the day of publication, Bai Mingyang's nervous hands trembled, and he asked Shen Chengrun tremblingly, "Can our newspaper really sell?"

"Don't worry, our previous advertisements have been copied so hot, let alone our comic strips are so beautiful, even if they are generally popular for a while." Shen Chengrun comforted.

Shao Hongjun didn't have Shen Chengrun's gentleness, and said fiercely: "What are you afraid of, I put all my wealth in it and I'm not afraid, look at how cowardly you are. If nothing else, you must always trust Chengrun. But it’s quite a set.”

Newsboys didn't take it seriously when they got "Wuxu Lianhuan Pictorial" early in the morning. In the special period of the Republic of China, there were so many new newspapers added every day, and as many newspaper offices were closed, so it was nothing unusual.However, when he casually flipped through the recently advertised Wuxu Comic Pictorial, he discovered that the newspaper was really a comic strip.

When I was young, I didn’t like the romantic and jealous "Dream of Red Mansions", and I also didn't like the "Water Margin" about fighting and killing and the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" about resourcefulness. I only loved the fantasy "Journey to the West".

When he saw the vivid Monkey King, the little newsboy couldn't take his eyes away. He had to read all the serialized stories in the newspaper before remembering that it was time to sell newspapers. Journey to the West comic book pictorial, and then cut it down to make a booklet.

"I'm selling newspapers, I'm selling newspapers. Today there is a new issue of "Wuxu Lianhuan Pictorial Magazine". People who can read and write can understand both adults and children."

"Newsboy, get me a copy of "Declaration."

"Sir, don't you want to buy a copy of "Wuxu Comic Strip Magazine"? The comic strips on it are so beautiful, I guarantee that you will have to take a second look if you don't believe me, please take a look, sir."

How can a man who buys a newspaper believe what he can see at a glance.As a result, he accidentally glanced at it and was surprised by the comic strips in the newspaper.

"Bring it to me to have a look." I couldn't put it down after seeing it.

The newsboy introduced again: "Sir, you can buy one. I guarantee that you won't lose money or be fooled if you buy it. Maybe your wife and children can follow along."

The man smiled knowingly when he saw the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions" on it, and immediately bought another one.

The author has something to say:
