Zhou Rong didn't want to go out to work, she just wanted to stay at home and prepare for the college entrance examination. She had put down her books for several years, and it was not easy to pick them up again.
"If you don't go out to work, how can you support two people with my salary alone?" Feng Huacheng certainly wanted Zhou Rong to work to reduce the burden on the family.
"We were in Guizhou when we had no salary, so why didn't we come here? Now we can still have a balance of more than ten yuan every month, which is enough." Zhou Rong said.
"That's Guizhou, this is the capital, how can you live with more than ten yuan." Feng Huacheng's voice was slightly loud.
Zhou Rong said confidently: "There are many people in the capital who can support a large family with only a dozen yuan, why can't we live with it?"
Feng Huacheng said: "We can't just live with our salary! I also have personal relationships in the workplace, which all require money."
"You are a writer. You can create with a pen and paper. What kind of favors do you need?" Zhou Rong asked confused.
Feng Huacheng said speechlessly: "Why are you so naive?"
Zhou Rong got angry and shouted: "Why am I so childish?"
Feng Huacheng said: "Work can't be that simple. Unless I don't want to get promoted, it's not enough to just complete my job."
Zhou Rong stayed at home until she was nineteen years old, and later followed Feng Huacheng to Guizhou. She had never experienced the hardships of the workplace and was very lacking in worldliness.
Feng Huacheng is different. He has been working hard for half his life. He knows too well that talent alone is not enough to work in the capital.
In terms of talent, Feng Huacheng is not afraid of anyone, but he is not very good in other aspects.
To be honest, he has nothing but talent.
"If I go out to work, it will affect my review." Zhou Rong finally softened and said to Feng Huacheng: "Huacheng, how about we stick to it for half a year? When I am admitted to college, everything will be fine."
Feng Huacheng said: "With your level, you can get into university even if you work part-time."
Zhou Rong gritted her teeth and said, "I want to get into a first-class college, and I want to go to Qingbei."
Feng Huacheng said in surprise: "Why are you forcing yourself so hard?"
Zhou Rong snorted coldly: "If I don't get admitted to Qingbei, I won't be able to beat Zhou Bingkun."
Feng Huacheng was speechless. Why are you arguing with your brother? Besides, getting admitted to Qingbei University will prove that you are better than your brother?
"Let's not aim too high. We must first ensure that we can get into college, and then try to get into Qingbei." Feng Huacheng sat down and comforted his wife.
"No, I have to take the Qingbei exam, otherwise I won't be able to return to Jichun." Zhou Rong said firmly.
Feng Huacheng had a headache. He knew his wife very well. Zhou Rong was the kind of person who would do it regardless of anything once she decided on something.
Just like when she went to Guizhou alone.
The couple began to quarrel about work and college entrance examinations.
No one could convince anyone, and the war finally ceased because neighbors came over to complain.
"Why are you so noisy during the Chinese New Year? You're not allowed to sleep anymore."
When Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng heard their neighbors yelling and cursing, they could only stop arguing, but they fell into a cold war.
…………
Ji Chun, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen suddenly visited Wang Gang's house.
"Mr. Ma, why are you here? I just wanted to take Juan'er to your house to celebrate the New Year?"
Wang Gang enthusiastically welcomed Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen into the room, and then asked Zheng Juan to pour some tea.
"I heard that you bought a new house, why didn't you invite me to come and sit with you? Our two families are not far apart now." Ma Shouchang walked into the house without any pretensions and looked around.
"I just bought it not long ago, and I haven't had time to report to you yet." Wang Gang said haha and left.
"You chose this house well. I bought it with your royalties!" Qu Xiuzhen said with a smile.
"I can't hide anything from you." Wang Gang replied.
Wang Gang did not hide the fact about Xiangjiang's submission from Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, and he could not hide it even if he wanted to.
"Your military-themed novels are so good, why did you switch to martial arts?" Ma Shouchang complained a little.
"Liang Jian cannot be published, so I still have to make money to support my family!" Wang Gang said helplessly.
Ma Shouchang liked Wang Gang's "Bright Sword" very much, but novels with this theme were too restrictive and could not make money at all, so Wang Gang only tried it briefly.
"I think the Condor Shooting written by Xiao Zhou is very good. You can make money based on your skills. As long as you don't violate the principles, why not do it." Qu Xiuzhen said to Ma Shouchang.
"What do you know? This kid is so talented that he doesn't have to go to a good place. It's a pity." Ma Shouchang said regretfully.
"What is the right place, Comrade Lao Ma, you can't look at the problem with your old eyes." Qu Xiuzhen put her hands on her waist, as if doing ideological work for her subordinates.
"I've read the original manuscript of "Shooting the Condor", and there's nothing wrong with it. The idea of protecting the family and the country is very good!"
Ma Shouchang was stunned. He didn't expect that his wife liked martial arts novels.
"Showing a sword is no better than shooting a vulture." Ma Shouchang argued.
Two veteran cadres were arguing about the subject of the novel at Wang Gang's house. Wang Gang stood aside and couldn't really get in the way, so he had to keep smiling.
The old couple didn't stop arguing until Feng Yue ran out, and instead they teased the child together.
Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen were in trouble in their early years, and their only son also broke away from them.
Later, after the two men were rehabilitated, they reconciled with their son, but it was difficult for the family of three to return to the past.
The son also concentrates on developing in the magic city and rarely returns to Jichun.
Ma Shouchang and his wife lived a lonely life, but they really liked the sweet-tongued Feng Yue.
"Grandpa Ma, Yueyue likes you the most."
As soon as Feng Yue came up, she pounced on Ma Shouchang, making him laugh with her small mouth.
"Xiao Yueyue, you don't like Grandpa Ma, but you like the candies I brought!"
Ma Shouchang took out a handful of candies from his pocket.
"White Rabbit Milk Candy." Feng Yue jumped up happily and reached for Ma Shouchang's hand with her little hand.
"Yueyue, don't eat too much sugar, it will damage your teeth." Wang Gang said in a deep voice.
Feng Yue immediately stopped, looked at Wang Gang cautiously, and begged: "Uncle, I will take three pills, no, two pills!"
Wang Gang had a sullen face, and Feng Yue retracted one finger.
"I'll just take one, okay."
Feng Yue's little eyes were filled with tears, Wang Gang was fine, but Qu Xiuzhen couldn't stand it.
"What's wrong with the kid eating some candy? The worst thing he can do is brush his teeth after eating." Qu Xiuzhen rolled her eyes at Wang Gang and then gave Feng Yue the candy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yueyue, listen to Grandma Qu, let's eat sweets."
Feng Yue looked at Wang Gang carefully and did not take the candy immediately.
"You are only allowed to eat two pills. Keep the rest and eat them later." Wang Gang said with a straight face.
Feng Yue happily took out a candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed the candy directly into her mouth.
"You are too strict." Qu Xiuzhen said to Wang Gang speechlessly.
"You don't know, this kid is too smart. He can't be supervised even for a day. If you don't be strict now, it will be even harder to control him in the future." Wang Gang said helplessly.
"Xiao Zhou did the right thing. There is no rule without rules, and the same goes for taking care of children. Blind indulgence is harming the children." Ma Shouchang nodded and smiled.
"I can't defeat you, I'll play with the kids." Qu Xiuzhen rolled her eyes, and then went to play with Feng Yue in the house.
Wang Gang invited Ma Shouchang to the living room, and Zheng Juan just happened to make the tea.
After sitting down, Ma Shouchang said mysteriously:
"I have good news for you, Liang Jian can be published."
Wang Gang was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.
"Mr. Ma, have you ever gone to Jiangliao Publishing House?"
Liangjian is a novel written by Wang Gang a few years ago. At that time, he was still working at Golden Land Magazine, so he sent the novel to his superior unit, Jiangliao Publishing House, to try to publish it.
As a result, Jiangliao Publishing House directly called me back, saying that the subject matter of the novel was not good and they would not publish it.
Later, Shao Jingwen brought the novel to Ma Shouchang to read. As a result, Ma became addicted after reading it. He has been paying attention to the publication of the novel in the past few years.
Now that the chaos is over, Bright Sword can indeed be published.
"Before the Chinese New Year, I had an appointment with the president of Jiangliao Publishing House because of work. We accidentally talked about the sword. I didn't expect that President Wu would still remember this book you wrote." Ma Shouchang took out a cigarette and wanted to light it.
Remembering that there were children in the house, I put down the cigarette again.
"Why didn't Teacher Shao tell me?" Wang Gang asked strangely.
"Maybe the news hasn't reached him yet. Someone from the publishing house should come to talk to you in a few days. Remember to leave me ten copies of the first edition and I'll give them to my old friend," Ma Shouchang said.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Ma. I know that if it weren't for you, Liang Jian would never have been published so quickly."
"I just mentioned it casually, but it really didn't help you much." Ma Shouchang waved his hand and said: "But if you really want to thank me, write more novels as good as Liangjian, and don't write about martial arts."
Wang Gang smiled, but did not dare to agree.
"By the way, where did that kid Guangming go? I still want to play chess with him." Ma Shouchang looked around but couldn't find Zheng Guangming.
Wang Gang's heart moved and he said: "Guangming will accompany Zheng Juan's mother back to Taiping Hutong. Juan'er will also go there in two days."
Ma Shouchang said regretfully: "I have thought about the bad game I played with Guangming for a long time, and I plan to avenge my shame."
