Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 193 Dreams come true

Grandma spent the New Year in the countryside before returning to the city on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

 Zhao Yuzhen wants Zhou Xiaoyun and Dabao to return the rented house after the next year. Wouldn't the rent and living expenses be saved?

Zhou Guoqiang feels that the children should be consulted on this matter. Therefore, I asked Zhou Xiaoyun and Dabao what they thought during the meal.

Dabao made a rare comment: "Mom, Dad, I think it’s better not to give up the house. I have evening self-study every night until 8:30. It would be too late to come home. Besides, Da Ya and I I have a lot more time since I don’t have to travel back and forth to school. I think it’s very convenient to live near the school.”

If he goes home every day, how can he have time to play football with a bunch of classmates? However, Dabao was smart enough not to mention this topic.

Zhou Xiaoyun glanced at his brother in surprise, thinking about the problem quite comprehensively now!

Zhou Xiaoyun said: "I also agree with my brother. He will take the high school entrance examination in a few months. I think it would be better for him to spend more time studying." Zhou Xiaoyun also feels that it is convenient to live near the school. Walking to school in just a few minutes saves so much time!

Zhou Guoqiang made a decision: continue to rent the house.

Zhao Yuzhen had nothing to say, thinking that since the children thought so, she shouldn’t give up the house! It is true that the couple will make a lot of money in the New Year to send their children to school.

The days are running fast. Dabao is now in the third grade of junior high school and will face the high school entrance examination in a few months.

Dabao himself rarely uses his brain to think about future problems anyway. According to his own words, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Are you still afraid that you will not be able to go to high school by then?

 Don’t think so much, let’s talk about it when filling in your application!

Xiaobao has been working harder and harder recently. I heard that his grades are now among the best in the class. Xiaobao's goal is very clear. He is admitted to Yingming Middle School in junior high school. It has become Xiaobao's biggest wish to go to the same middle school as his sister.

Zhou Xiaoyun began to feel that she didn’t have to worry too much about Dabao and Xiaobao. As people grow up, they begin to have their own ideas. There is no need to impose your own wishes on others, as long as everyone can proceed according to their own ideas and wishes, it will be fine.

  Ni Liang brought a registered letter to Zhou Xiaoyun when he entered the classroom.

Zhou Xiaoyun's heart was pounding, and he had an intuition that something good would happen. When I got it, I saw that it was absolutely correct. It was actually sent by the "Middle School Student" magazine.

Zhou Xiaoyun was too embarrassed to open the letter in class, so he secretly stuffed it into his schoolbag to read it after school.

Who would have thought that this scene would be seen by Liu Lu from behind. She curiously asked: "Zhou Xiaoyun, what kind of letter are you receiving? It seems to be sent to you by the magazine. Did you order the magazine and have it mailed to you?" Gave it to you?”

Liu Lu never thought about anything else. Her intuition was that Zhou Xiaoyun paid for the magazine and the magazine sent it over.

Zhou Xiaoyun had no choice but to lie: "Yes." God forbid the girl who lied from getting a long nose like Pinocchio.

 Finally staying up until school was over, Zhou Xiaoyun rushed home at an unprecedented speed.

 When I opened the envelope and looked at it, there was indeed a notice and a remittance form for the royalties.

Zhou Xiaoyun jumped up for joy, happily put the two sheets to his lips and kissed them hard twice.

Very good! The manuscript I sent out was finally accepted by the magazine.

Zhou Xiaoyun has sent out at least ten manuscripts since last year. He copied three or four copies of each manuscript and sent them to different magazines. In total, he has submitted thirty-four manuscripts. However, all the letters I sent seemed to have disappeared into the sea without any news.

 At times, Zhou Xiaoyun could not help but feel discouraged. Is it because my writing is not good? Or is your talent unappreciated? Obviously I wrote it very carefully! However, there was no response from the submissions time and time again, which made Zhou Xiaoyun doubtful about himself.

It seems that my level is still not good enough! Although my writing skills are among the best in the class and even grade, there is still a long way to go before I can publish an article!

 Unexpectedly, this time the manuscript was actually approved. Quickly check out which issue it is and be sure to go to the newsstand and buy two copies to keep as a souvenir at home.

Zhou Xiaoyun was so happy that he didn't even notice that Dabao was back.

Dabao looked at his happy sister strangely. It was rare to see his sister look so happy! Even though my sister is three years younger than me, she is used to being mature and unlike other girls who are always chirping. This was the first time that such joy was exposed, and Dabao couldn't help but become curious about the thing in her hand.

Grabbing the paper from Zhou Xiaoyun's hand, Dabao read out: "Congratulations on your manuscript..."

Before he could read a complete sentence, he was snatched back by Zhou Xiaoyun.

Zhou Xiaoyun was in a good mood and did not argue with Dabao. He hummed a song and stuffed the paper back into the envelope before putting it away.

Dabao loves to get to the bottom of things, and gets anxious when his sister is being mysterious and doesn't tell him what's going on.

Dabao followed Zhou Xiaoyun into the kitchen and asked for the tenth time: "Daya, what is in that letter of yours? Please tell me!"

Zhou Xiaoyun was in a very good mood, and he really wanted to share this kind of good news with others. Seeing Dabao sincerely asking for advice, he thought, just tell his brother. Anyway, sooner or later he will know: "I asked the magazine The manuscript was selected, and a notice of acceptance and a remittance form for the manuscript were sent to me! ”

Dabao took a while to digest Zhou Xiaoyun's words, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow, Daya, you have become a small writer! Tell me quickly, how much is the royalties? You have to treat me to snacks."

　　It’s that exaggerated. If you become a writer just by being accepted for one manuscript, then that writer is too worthless.

Zhou Xiaoyun thought so, but he couldn't help but smile. However, this treat had to be carefully considered. The royalties were so small, how could she be willing to buy something to eat?

 Let’s keep it as a souvenir! hehe!

Zhou Xiaoyun told Dabao not to talk nonsense everywhere. She always felt that it was better for her family to know. She can't do this thing of publicizing and showing off everywhere.

Dabao was dissatisfied with Zhou Xiaoyun's cautious attitude: "Why are you hiding? No one can see your name once your article is published!"

Zhou Xiaoyun said angrily: "Of course I have a pen name. Anyway, don't talk nonsense. If I hear about this from other people, I will settle the score with you."

Dabao immediately vowed not to reveal anything to others, and then kept asking what Zhou Xiaoyun’s pen name was.

Zhou Xiaoyun didn't let go this time. Anyway, Dabao just didn't say anything no matter what he asked.

Dabao has nothing to do with Zhou Xiaoyun. I really don’t understand what she is thinking. This is a good thing, why should she keep it a secret and not tell others. If it were him, he would only wish to tell the whole world! It's best to let Liu Lu know about it, because maybe Liu Lu will look at him with admiration...

Dabao wandered to the outer world and had a sweet dream!
