Chapter 208 Letter from the Provincial City
There are no secrets in the village. When Liuya returns to Tian's house, everyone in the village knows that Tian Dalin brought back the little girl he sent away. The fat aunt who had been friends with Li Guihua immediately came over when she got the news.
At this time, Li Guihua was cooking in the kitchen, and Liuya just came back and wanted to cook her something delicious.
Aunt Fat arrived in the kitchen, sat down and lit a fire for her and asked, "I just heard that your Liuya is back?"
Li Guihua nodded and said: "I'm back, she's in Da Ya's house. She's a little shy when she just came back, and I'll let you meet after a few days when she gets to know her."
The main reason is that Liuya is still repelling her now, and letting everyone come over to see her will definitely make the child even more disgusted. She remembered Tian Shao's words, the little girl was as smart as her, so she had to think more about it.
The fat aunt whispered: "I heard that you have been in the hospital for the past few days. The child has suffered a lot, right?"
If they were living well in the adoptive parents' house, how could the husband and wife suddenly take the child back. Moreover, the husband and wife have stayed in the hospital for so many days, so they also know what's going on.
Thinking of Liuya's appearance, Li Guihua burst into tears again and said, "If it wasn't for the good-hearted people who found out that my family's eldest ya was working in the textile factory and sent the news, my family Liuya would have disappeared."
Fat Auntie scolded in a low voice: "These two who have suffered a thousand dollars will suffer retribution sooner or later."
Li Guihua didn't want to go that far either, she just wanted to take care of Liuya's body now. And the husband's body will no longer be able to do heavy physical work, so he has to plan carefully.
The egg custard was cooked, and Li Guihua dipped some lard on it with chopsticks, and then quickly served it to Liu Ya.
Liuya saw a bowl full of steamed eggs, lowered her eyes and said: "You don't need to give me such a good meal, just have porridge to drink."
Li Guihua had a sore nose and said, "I always gave you porridge for the past two days. It was your eldest sister who said that you had a bad stomach and needed to eat it. Now that you have been discharged from the hospital, you have to take some good supplements. Our family is getting worse now. When I was rich before, I would steam two eggs for your sisters every day. From now on, you will have one every day."
Seeing her younger sister bowed her head and said nothing, Wuya walked over to take the egg custard and said, "Mother, you go out! I'm here, and I will take good care of Liuya."
Li Guihua nodded and went out.
As soon as she left, Wuya and Liuya murmured in low voices: "Liumei, you can eat what you can first, and let the eldest sister make it for you when she comes back. The steamed eggs made by the eldest sister's house are tender and smooth. Also, the eldest sister The meat buns made are fragrant and soft, very delicious.”
Liuya couldn't help asking: "How much salary does eldest sister get a month?"
Wuya whispered into her ear and said, "My eldest sister earns thirty-two yuan a month, which is very high, and there are also industrial tickets and various subsidies and benefits."
Liuya knew that Ma Jin’s monthly salary for working in a grain store was seventeen and a half yuan. With this salary, the family lived a comfortable life. Tian Shao’s salary was twice as much as hers. It’s no wonder that the family is rich now.
Thinking about what Tian Shao told her before, Liuya tentatively asked: "Is it true that eldest sister is all self-taught?"
Wuya nodded and said, "Yes! Our family was so poor that we could hardly afford food, and the eldest sister had to take care of Siya and I couldn't go to school. But the eldest sister is very hardworking and insisted on going to Granny Yuxiu to learn every day. Two or three hours. Fortunately, she persevered, otherwise she would not be able to enter the factory. Liu Ya, you should take care of your health earlier and go to school in September next year. The eldest sister said that we can only live after studying Good day."
At night, the cold wind was blowing, blowing on the windows from time to time, making clanging sounds. Because Sanya was thinking about Liuya, she tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
Tian Shao said: "Don't worry, I will take you back after get off work tomorrow."
Sanya was very tempted, but quickly refused: "Sister, you have your final exam in a few days. You have to go to work during the day and only have time to read at night, so forget it."
Tian Shao said with a smile: "If I go back tomorrow, I won't go back on Sunday."
In fact, it is also to create an image that she is very hardworking. After reading all the books and doing exercises, as long as the exam questions are not difficult, he will definitely meet Principal Wen's requirements.
"Then let's go back tomorrow."
Erya returned the cart the next morning. Seeing that Sanya was worried about the family, she smiled and said, "Yesterday, when Wuya came back from school, she gave Liuya all the treasures she hid, and the two of them stuck together all the time. It has to be like a person."
Sanya was both happy and bitter: "It turns out that Wuya has always been thinking about Liuya, why didn't this girl say anything before?"
Erya was also feeling very sad, she said softly: "Wuya has always been thinking about Liuya, but mother always said that Liuya is doing well in that animal's house, she dare not say so."
In the morning, Tian Shao was busy sorting out the data and making tables, when Tang Meiru, who had gone to work outside, came back. She walked up to Tian Shao and handed her a letter: "Accountant Tian, here is your letter, it's from the Provincial Publishing House."
Tian Shao was overjoyed, took it over and saw that it was an envelope from the Provincial Publishing House, it took more than half a month to get here, and the efficiency is really slow.
Meng Yang was busy at first, and when he heard this, he put down his work and asked, "From the Provincial Publishing House? Accountant Tian, have you submitted your manuscript to the publishing house?"
Tang Meiru said with a smile: "The article should be submitted to a newspaper rather than a publishing house. Accountant Tian, are you going to publish a book?"
Tian Shao wanted to open it to read it, but when he heard this, he put the letter in the drawer: "Comrade Tang, you think too much. Last time I went to the provincial capital, I met an editor on the bus, so I asked her where There are high school exercise books for sale. He didn’t know that he would help me find out, and he would write to me if he had any news.”
Well, the image of love to learn is still very good.
Tang Meiru asked in disbelief: "Really?"
Tian Shao really wanted to choke back, it's none of your business whether it's true or not, but she still held back her temper and said, "Even if I want to write a book, I must have the time and energy!"
Tang Meiru thought that Tian Shao had to go to work and study high school courses by herself, but she really didn't have time. Moreover, this letter is just a thin piece of paper, if it is published in a book, it is impossible to finish it in a few words, so I dispelled this unreliable idea.
Tian Shao took the letter back and read it. After reading it, she instantly felt better. Gu Hongxue said in the letter that the publishing house agreed to her request, but only gave half of the royalties after discussion with the leaders. In addition, the comic book has been proofread and is now being printed. Print 5,000 copies first, and then print again if they sell well.
Because Tian Shao wants royalties, so there is no royalties yet. But at the end of the letter, Gu Hongxue expressed the hope that Tian Shao would write the second book as soon as possible. Books like this one come out one after another, and people's appetites are whetted, and only then will they sell well.
Tian Shao has finished writing the second book and asked Mr. Li to correct him. He didn’t send it out because he was waiting for news from Gu Hongxue. Now that she received his letter, she would not delay any longer. She went to the post office to post the book before returning to the factory.
