Scholars in the courtyard

I just finished tonight's work, and tomorrow's 10,000 words are done.

Looking up at the clock on the wall, it was midnight again. Looking back, I saw that my wife and children were asleep, and it was the last O(∩_∩)O again.

I just wanted to turn off the computer, but when I looked at the picture frame that popped up on my phone, it was the Dragon Boat Festival.

A Tao thought that he had never said anything to the readers (there are activities during the Spring Festival, but), so he wanted to take this opportunity to say a happy Dragon Boat Festival to the readers.

I am healthy and can eat rice dumplings made by my mother every year.

Eat boiled eggs.

Eat boiled duck eggs.

Eat boiled goose eggs.

Well, actually, I am not good at interacting with readers. The editor also told me this, otherwise everyone would post it during the Chinese New Year, and I would be the only one.

Otherwise, this book’s exit index would always be LV1.

As for why this happened tonight, A Tao didn't know. Maybe he was going back to his hometown tomorrow to eat rice dumplings cooked by his mother, or maybe he wanted to express his sincere thanks to everyone.

Thank you for your support along the way, whether it is subscriptions, rewards, recommendation tickets, or monthly tickets. A Tao did not thank anyone individually, but A Tao has always been grateful to everyone in his heart.

Thanks.

Thank you for reading.

Without your support, this book would not be possible.

Without your support, my family would not have tolerated this. ^_^

Now that I have started writing, let me talk about this book by the way.

Say whatever comes to your mind, don't be too long-winded.

This is not the text, just pure thoughts and feelings! ! !

The book "The Scholar in the Siheyuan" is not Atao's first book, but it is the best one so far.

The best is not how good it is, but how good it is compared to A Tao's previous books.

In the earliest days, I distributed books at Qidian. It was purely about generating electricity with love.

More than 1.5 million words were finally sold to a small platform to enrich the library, and I gained my first fortune, 500 yuan.

Then I came to other small platforms, some were for 400 a month, and some were for 500. Anyway, I just wrote after work to make a little money.

But my wife said, earning a little is better than playing games.

I think so, just like that, I have always written.

Then, when I was writing this book, I read a lot of "Siheyuan" novels, and I got inspired and wanted to write one myself.

So, we came to the starting point again.

It’s interesting to note that when I first wrote this book, I submitted an article to a flower platform, and the response was still 400 per month (4,000 words per day). At that time, I wanted to get 800, but the editor didn’t agree.

So, I went back to the starting point.

What’s even more interesting is that I didn’t know which group to vote for at that time, so I just picked a random one and posted about 30,000 words. I didn’t think much about it and just wanted to take advantage of Dongfeng to work hard. 1,500 per month was my goal.

But he didn't expect to be taken under the command of Penglai, the current editor of the ninth group.

Here, I have to say that Penglai is my noble person.

There is no doubt about it.

From the initial signing to now, there have been almost no interruptions in recommendations. Sometimes chapters are blocked. After A Tao left a message in the evening, most of them will help solve the problem as soon as possible.

It will even provide writing directions based on the actual situation.

Especially on a few occasions, those who have been chasing books will find that for a period of time, chapters are always missing. That is when A Tao is most troubled.

I wrote it according to my own outline, but ended up being locked up in a dark room.

After Penglai learned about it, he immediately asked him to revise the outline, because if he wrote it according to that, there was a high probability that he would not be able to read the book.

So, during those days, A Tao was writing updates and discussing the outline with Penglai.

What a painful day.

But in my heart, I am really grateful to Penglai for being such a good editor.

Without his help, my current life would still be the same as before.

Even though I write until midnight every day, my hair is falling out because of the ten thousand words.

But, thank you very much.

The current outline has deviated greatly from the original outline for writing the Siheyuan.

Basically, it has been revised three times. I don’t know what this version will look like now. Maybe it will be revised again in the near future.

And in this rewrite, A Tao thanks the big guys who have always supported him.

Thanks.

Thank you again, all the readers.

Without your subscription, the book might have been completed at one million words.

After all, when the agreement was signed, it was one million.

Thank you for every one of your subscriptions. (ω)

A Tao looked at the background data and found that most of the people reading this book were male compatriots aged 25-40. Haha, maybe this has something to do with us being of similar age.

A Tao is born in the 1980s, I won’t say the specific year.

Sometimes I think about it, if I am still writing books ten years from now, will this pen name reveal my age?

If I write a childish book at that time, will I be criticized?

Therefore, A Tao feels that he should write while he is still young.O(∩_∩)O

Since we are all of the same age, A Tao is not a special one. A Tao is the most ordinary person. Therefore, A Tao's life can be regarded as our representative.

At our age, most people have people above them, people below them, and people in the middle.

right.

And the number of these people will not be small. After all, they come from family planning. If you have two brothers in the family, you are taking risks.

How should I put it, life is really, Alexander.

The ones above need to be served and filial, while the ones below need to go to school and be educated.

The ones in the middle must be served well, otherwise they won’t help serve the ones above and below.

There is no way, this is our man.

So sometimes readers will ask, how about giving a reward to a leader? It’s not that A Tao doesn’t think it’s troublesome, but it’s really unnecessary.

Being able to subscribe is already the greatest support for Atao. Save that little money and buy an Ultraman card bag for your children and a princess dress like Aisha.

It’s not expensive, but the children are happy. When the children are happy, the wife is happy. When the wife is happy, she honors her parents, and she is happy.

(Ahem, this is purely based on personal experience)

Therefore, A Tao would not refuse a reward, but he would not ask for it either.

Let's just read it normally. It's just a few cents a day. A Tao's writing is not good. I feel sorry for accepting this.

Right, haha.

It's the end.

The time has expired.

Gotta sleep.

Finally, I would like to thank the brothers who have been reading the book.

Thank you brothers for your support.

grateful!

Finally, I wish everyone a healthy Dragon Boat Festival.

I can eat my mother’s rice dumplings every year.

Eighty-year-old Tao
