1980 My literary era

With the confidence of the first issue's circulation of 1.1 million copies, the second issue of "Heroes of Kyushu" went on sale in mid-August, with a first printing of 800,000 copies.

The success of "Heroes of Kyushu" gave Tongwenshe's editors strong self-confidence, and the collection of manuscripts also went smoothly.

In the past, they were the ones who harassed the writers of martial arts novels, and all the manuscripts were submitted by invitation. However, half a month after the first issue of "Heroes of Kyushu" was released, there were more and more letters and submissions.

Although most of the submissions are of low quality, everyone is still very happy, because this means that "Heroes of Kyushu" has rich channels for submissions, and there is no need to worry about soliciting submissions in the future.

Two days after the second issue went on sale, Yu Hua found Lin Weimin's office and said, "Teacher Lin, is there any progress on the follow-up manuscript of "The World's No. 1"? We have published the second issue, and I don't have any manuscripts in my hand. "

Lin Weimin slapped his head, "Hey, look at me, I've been so busy lately. The author called me a few days ago and asked me to pick up the manuscript. Uh, next week, next week, I'll pick up the manuscript when I have time. Get it back."

"No, you're so busy, just give me your address and I'll pick it up at your door."

Take a fart! I haven’t written it yet, what do you choose?

"No need, the author doesn't want too many people to know his identity." Lin Weimin decisively refused.

Yu Hua wanted to ask again, but Lin Weimin stared at him, knowing that he should talk less at this moment, so he had to leave the office with questions in his heart.

well!

Lin Weimin sighed. He had been too busy recently and had indeed forgotten about "The Best in the World".

I have to work overtime again these days!

"It's obviously written, but it still has to be picked up next week? Something's wrong. It takes time, which proves that it needs to be mailed. In a week, the place will definitely not be too far away."

Yu Hua left the office and began to think wildly again. His mind kept jumping around the geographical locations of many writers, and finally locked on a face with green bean eyes.

"In terms of proximity, Mo Yan's troops are not far from Yanjing. I haven't contacted him for a long time, and the last time I contacted him, he didn't mention the new book. There seems to be something wrong, so why not call and ask."

Busy working during the day and having to work overtime to update at night, Lin Weimin felt quite haggard in the next few days.

He didn't want to move when he got up early on the weekend. He was squinting in bed when he heard the sound of Tao Huimin retching from the living room.

His eyes opened suddenly and he jumped out of bed, "What's going on?"

"Nasty, want to vomit."

"Is your period coming this month?" Lin Weimin asked.

"No, it's been almost half a month."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm afraid not. I want to wait until I have a reaction before telling you."

"You really can keep your composure."

Lin Weimin complained to Tao Huimin, got dressed in a hurry, and drove to the hospital without even brushing his teeth.

"I haven't had breakfast yet!" Tao Huimin said.

"Do I need to do a B-ultrasound to see if I'm pregnant? I shouldn't be able to eat, right?"

"I do not know!"

"Don't eat it yet. When you get back from the hospital, I'll treat you to Maxim."

The couple hurriedly came to the hospital, registered a number, and only needed a blood test. After waiting for half an hour, the test results came out.

Tao Huimin is indeed pregnant!

Lin Weimin was overjoyed and carried Tao Huimin around in the corridor of the hospital several times.

"Hey, don't hold her down!"

"It's okay, it's not as big as a pea. What are you afraid of?" Lin Weimin said nonchalantly.

After the examination, the two came out of the hospital while chatting.

"Is it time for you to take maternity leave?"

"How could anyone ask for maternity leave so early!"

"Then hire a nanny. You won't be able to work anymore."

"It's not that precious! Besides, there's my mother too!"

"By the way, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. Hurry up and call your parents to announce the good news, and urge your mother-in-law to come to Beijing as soon as possible."

Tao's father and Tao's mother returned to their hometown in Ruian not long after the Chinese New Year, but they made an agreement before leaving Beijing that Tao's mother would come to Beijing to take care of Tao Huimin when she became pregnant.

The two found a public phone booth at the entrance of the hospital to call Tao's father and Tao's mother to announce the good news. Tao's father was at work and Tao's mother was the only one at home. When they learned that Tao Huimin was pregnant, Tao's mother was extremely excited and planned to come to Yanjing tomorrow.

"Mom, I'm just pregnant. You don't have to be so anxious. Just come over after your dad and the family are settled..."

Tao Huimin persuaded Tao's mother for a few words, and she gave up her plan to go to Beijing in a hurry. Instead, she explained various precautions for Tao Huimin during her pregnancy. After a phone call that lasted more than half an hour, Lin Weimin went to the newsstand to change the A pile of coins.

When the call with Tao's mother finally ended, it was almost eleven o'clock. Tao Huimin held her stomach and looked at Lin Weimin aggrievedly.

"I'm hungry!"

"Let's go, let's take you to eat Maxim." Lin Weimin said proudly.

Tao Huimin shook her head, "I want to eat Dong Laishun."

"Don't you like mutton very much?"

"I don't know, I just want to eat." Tao Huimin swallowed as she spoke.

"I'm pregnant, my appetite has improved!" Lin Weimin smiled and hugged Tao Huimin, "Okay, then let's eat Dong Laishun, I will let you eat as much as you want today!"

On a hot day, they went to Donglaishun to eat hotpot mutton. The two of them were sweating from the meal.

When I drove home, I saw two primary school students playing and playing around with wooden sticks in their hands.

"Hey! Look at my Guihai strike and Abidao's three strike blows!"

"Ho! I have the magical power of indestructibility. You can't cut me!"

Two primary school students were running on the road while fighting. Lin Weimin nodded happily looking at their backs. The three swords of Abi Dao are the sword skills of the number one secret agent Gui Hai in "The World's No. 1". King Kong The indestructible magical skill is the skill used by Xuanzi's No. 1 secret agent Cheng Shifei.

Elementary school students playing on the roadside can see elements of "The Best in the World" here. It seems that the popularity of "Heroes of Kyushu" is indeed very high.

After returning home, Tao Huimin went to rest, and Lin Weimin called Li Guangfu.

A few years ago, Lin Weimin entrusted all the houses in his hands to Li Guangfu and asked him to open a housing agency.

After a few years, Li Guangfu not only became a real estate agent, but also started a decoration company and a professional agency. His business was successful and he was worth millions.

Lin Weimin called Li Guangfu to ask him to help recommend a reliable nanny. More than an hour after the call, Li Guangfu's Daifa parked in front of Lin Weimin's house, with three middle-aged women following him in the car. .

"Teacher Lin! Teacher Tao!" Li Guangfu came in with a smile on his face.

Lin Weimin said: "I asked you to help find someone, why did you come in person?"

"Look what you said, help you find someone, can't I come in person?" Li Guangfu passed the three people behind him and said: "These three are all elite soldiers of our employment agency, and they are honest and responsible people. , and the work is quick and easy.”

As he spoke, he whispered in Lin Weimin's ear: "They are all from acquaintances. They know the basics. Don't worry. They have all been physically examined. You can choose whatever you want."

Lin Weimin gave him a look that said, "I'll rest assured if you do the work." Li Guangfu's face flashed with joy.

After chatting for a while, Lin Weimin left behind the kinder one among the three, named Sun Guizhen.

"I'll call you Sister Sun from now on."

"Call me whatever you're used to."

Sun Guizhen is from Yanjing Suburban County. She has three children in her family. The eldest is married, the second is in college, and the third is in high school.

She has a rural registered permanent residence and got married relatively young. She is not yet forty-five years old this year.

The year before last, because the eldest son got married, the family owed a lot of money. In addition, the second and third sons were studying, so the family had financial difficulties, so they had no choice but to work.

After chatting with Sun Guizhen for a few words, Li Guangfu and the remaining two people were about to say goodbye and leave. Lin Weimin went into the house and took out two packs of snacks.

"I don't have much at home. I bothered you two to go all the way and take these snacks back to try!"

The two women were a little flattered and quickly took the snacks, "Oh, thank you! You are so polite."

The dim sum is not worth much, the most important thing is the respectful attitude.

After Lin Weimin sent a few people out, Li Guangfu looked at the gate of the courtyard where he lived and said regretfully: "You two, you don't have that blessing."

A woman looked at the snacks in her hand and said, "Educated people are polite and considerate, and their words make people feel comfortable."

Another person asked: "Boss Li, if their family recruits more people in the future, you can introduce me to them."

Li Guangfu laughed and said: "If you miss this village, it will be difficult to find it. Teacher Lin's family is really considered to be one of the first-class families in Yanjing City. Let's wait until we have the opportunity in the future."

Several people got into the car while talking, and Dafa left the door of Lin Weimin's house.

In the room, Lin Weimin was talking to Sun Guizhen about her work content and salary.

"Your job is mainly housework at home. If there is anything you can't move or carry, just call me. Huimin is pregnant, so don't work on her."

"Okay, boss."

"Don't call me Dongjia, call me Weimin."

Seeing that Sun Guizhen was a little uncomfortable with this name, Lin Weimin changed his words and said: "They all call me Teacher Lin at work, why don't you call me the same."

Sun Guizhen nodded, "Okay, then I will call you Teacher Lin and your lover Teacher Tao. Do you think that's okay?"

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you call it smoothly."

He continued: "The space at home is large, so the workload is relatively large. Your salary standard is two hundred and forty yuan, double the legal holiday pay, and you have two days off every month. If you don't take a break, you will be paid double the salary." Let’s do the math, and add another twenty yuan, which is considered as a full attendance bonus.

The benefits during the holidays are not necessarily guaranteed. Depending on what the family purchases, the value should be at least fifty yuan.

Food and shelter are provided at home, and you don’t have to pay extra.

Look at this condition, okay? "

After Lin Weimin said these words, he looked at Sun Guizhen and asked her opinion.

Sun Guizhen had been thinking about it while Lin Weimin was talking. According to the salary standard given by Lin Weimin, if she didn't take a break, her monthly salary would be almost 300 yuan, which is higher than the salary of the average working class in Yanjing City now, not to mention the New Year and the holidays. There are also benefits.

When Lin Weimin asked her, she looked a little happy, "Okay, that's great. The salary you offered is much higher than outside."

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "The space at home is a bit bigger and there is a lot of work. It is normal for the salary to be higher."

When Sun Guizhen heard this, she couldn't help but glance at the surrounding environment.

The place is indeed large, with a courtyard with three entrances, and looking at the decoration and belongings in the house, it seems that it belongs to a wealthy family.

"But the yard in front needs to be mopped and swept once a week. Otherwise, it will be too busy. Huimin and I used to clean it only once every half a month."

"Then I'll clean it up every three or four days."

There are not many rooms in the first two courtyards, and they are not inhabited, but if you clean them carefully, you may not be able to spend a whole day.

Her boss was generous and allowed her to clean once a week, but Sun Guizhen didn't want to be sorry for the three hundred yuan salary. She usually had to buy food, cook, and clean the inner courtyard, so she squeezed out one day every three or four days to clean the front yard. almost.

"Okay, let's do this for now. If you feel too busy after a while, you can extend the time, it doesn't matter." Lin Weimin warned.

Sun Guizhen nodded. She was lucky enough to find a generous employer.

A monthly salary of 300 yuan is enough to provide food and housing, and the salary can be left over. In less than two years, the family's foreign debt can be paid off.
