Chapter 147: Book Published

Next, five job quotas were created one by one among more than 60 members.

Some people were overjoyed when they got their job quota, while others were dejected, and some girls even cried sadly.

The Li Wen family also spent an afternoon in various melon-eating performances.

"This Demin's wife is really nothing. My daughter finally got a job quota, but she refused to let her go. She insisted on letting Demin go."

"Demin, go and light the fire! He looks lazy and doesn't want to see if the county wants him." When they got home, their second aunt Cui Yanzi and mother Wang Chunmei were still cursing.

Li Demin is Li Wen's thirteenth uncle, he is the father of the seven fairies in the village, and Li Zhaodi is the third child in his family.

Li Demin and his wife were notoriously lazy. They usually cheated and cheated at work, and were often used as negative examples by the brigade.

Usually, the cooking, washing, and other housework at home are all taken care of by several daughters. Li Demin is just lazy, but his wife is terribly lazy and overbearing.

This time, the eldest daughter of Li Demin’s family also participated in the lottery, but unexpectedly she won the second spot.

Li Demin's wife didn't want to work anymore now. She was messing around in the wheat field and yelled about losing money. She would get married sooner or later, so she asked her eldest daughter to give up her place to Li Demin.

This is why Wang Chunmei and Cui Yanzi scolded Li Demin and his wife.

In the afternoon, Li Wen also experienced various behaviors and methods of villagers in the village.

Because most of the people working in the canning factory at that time were female members, the places in the lottery were directly chosen by four women.

Nowadays, several people’s families are in trouble. So it’s not just Li Demin’s family that is making a fuss, but other people’s families are also making a fuss.

Some daughters are forced to do it, and their sons are forced to do it; some mothers are implicated, and several children in the family have to work hard to get rid of it; and some daughters-in-law are implicated, and the mother-in-law and other daughters-in-law are jealous.

In short, various versions were staged one after another, and one of the two families even got into a fight. It can be said that they made a fool of themselves.

In the end, the village came forward to coordinate and asked those who had quotas to give their families some money every month, and this calmed the situation.

After staying at home for another day, Li Wen really couldn't sit still and said goodbye to his family after breakfast the next day.

"Xiao Wen is back! I haven't seen him for more than half a month." Li Wen was opening the door. The neighbor next door heard the sound and came out. He saw Li Wen saying hello happily.

"Auntie, you are in good health these days." Li Wen looked at the aunt in her fifties and said hello with a smile.

"Well, my aunt has been busy all day since she retired, so she can only pull the soles of her shoes at the door and spread rumors."

"Auntie, I give you a melon. I got this from home." Li Wen took out a palm-sized white melon from his bag and handed it over with a smile.

"Hey! Is this a melon? I've only seen it in the newspaper. We rarely sell it here." The middle-aged aunt looked at the melon handed over by Li Wen with bright eyes.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and his hand speed was as fast as lightning. With a swish, the melon disappeared from Li Wen's hand.

Li Wen was shocked for a while, he didn't expect that this aunt had practiced kung fu.

"Auntie, please be busy first. I rode all the way and I'm very dirty. I have to go back and wash myself off." Li Wen came back to his senses and said politely to his aunt.

Back in the yard, Li Wen took a shower in the shower room and took out water to clean the car again.

"There are still two pieces of mail in this half month!" Li Wen returned to the room and saw two pieces of mail and a package on the cabinet.

It should be an email received by Li Wu or Li Quan. Li Wu and Li Wu were only busy in the village for four days. They finished cutting the wheat and then returned to work.

Li Wen first opened two letters, one of which was the payment for the Youth Daily article that Li Wen had previously sent.

For more than a dozen works, Li Wen was paid a total of more than 200 yuan in royalties, which were sent immediately via remittance.

Another letter said that Li Wen was overjoyed that his work had been published, and the package contained the physical book sent to him by Youth Daily.

Li Wen hurriedly opened the package and found ten books neatly stacked inside. Li Wen could use these books to give to friends.

It has been a full year since I came to this era, and I have finally made my own mark in this era.

More than a year of writing was not in vain, and the publication of physical books is the greatest reward for his hard work.

When Li Wen first started writing, he just wanted to make a living. Later, when he had a financial foundation, he wanted to write a good work to prove himself.

"That's great. I hope my book will sell well." Li Wen flipped through the pages of the book and muttered excitedly to himself.

After wandering around the yard, Li Wen didn't know how to share his joy for a moment.

Finally, he thought of Chen Jing with a sweet smile. Li Wen shook his head again. Chen Jing had followed his father to the provincial capital Chang'an.

"Go to the Cultural Center and slap these old stubborns in the face with my own works." He was so good that he was not allowed to join the county's Writers Association.

Li Wen was also a part-time street writer in his last life. His biggest dream was to join a writers association, even at the county level.

But in this era, he has published so many works for the country's major newspapers, but he has been prevented from joining. He is unwilling to do so!

Taking out two books and putting them into his bag, Li Wen excitedly pushed out his bicycle and hurried towards the cultural center.

"Long time no see, Comrade Xiaowen!" This man is still the old man who can do the splits.

"Uncle, how are you these days?" Li Wen smiled and handed over a cigarette.

"Okay, I can do more than twenty push-ups. Do you want to show me a show for you?" The old man had a cigarette in his mouth and was about to roll up his sleeves.

"Haha! You'd better not do it. I believe you, a veteran of more than ten years, are really good." Li Wen hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Stop talking, sir. I have something to do and I have to go in." Li Wen, who successfully dissuaded the uncle, quickly left.

"Xiao Wen, you're here. I've been reading a lot of your works recently!" Director Sun of the office was very happy to see Li Wen.

"I have something to share with you today." Li Wen smiled, took out a book from his bag and handed it to Director Sun.

"What kind of book is this?" Director Sun took the book and looked at Li Wen doubtfully.

"See for yourself!" Li Wen urged.

"Author: "The Warm Sun in Spring." Isn't this your pen name?" Director Sun asked doubtfully, but he hadn't reacted yet.

"Warm Sun in Spring, Xiaowen, have you published a book?" Director Sun came back to his senses and asked in surprise.

"Yes! This is my book. The editor said it will be officially released nationwide the day after tomorrow. You can buy it at Xinguo Bookstore." Li Wen said with a smile.

"It will go on sale the day after tomorrow. Our county has a great writer!" Director Sun said blankly, touching the book in his hand.

"No, I have to report to the county and provincial cultural center." Director Sun excitedly picked up the phone and started to report.

"Hi, Secretary Wu, hello! Yes, yes, you heard it right. A book written by Li Wen, a writer from our county, was published in the Youth Daily."

"Hello, Director Shen, hello. Let me report to you the recent cultural achievements of our county."

"Yes, yes, yes, Comrade Li Wen, the author whose pen name is "The Warm Sun in Spring", Youth Daily has published a book for him." Director Sun made two phone calls in a row, making himself extremely excited.

"Xiao Wen, the provincial leaders and Secretary Wu said that they will personally congratulate you after your book is released." Director Sun said happily.

"This book is quite thick. It shows that a lot of effort was put into it. How many words were written in total?" Director Sun looked through Li Wen's works happily.

"Almost 380,000 words." Li Wen smiled and said.

"My dear, no wonder it's such a thick book! You've made a lot of money this time from the manuscript fee." Director Sun said enviously.

"I haven't sent it yet. I don't know how much it is! I'll treat you to dinner then." Li Wen scratched his head to resolve the embarrassment.
