To be honest, Xiao Meng is still very willing to move to the city.
On the one hand, moving to the city will allow her to stay with Yongqiang, which is a very happy thing; on the other hand, moving to the city will enable her to enroll in TVU and become a college student by then.
In this way, the gap between her and Xiang Nan can be narrowed.
But after discussing it with his family, Wang Laoqi refused to say anything.
"You and Yongqiang are not married yet, so what would it look like to move in together like this?" He said plausibly, "If you spread the word, how will the villagers see you and me?"
"Dad, Yongqiang and I will not mess around." Xiao Meng blushed and said, "Besides, you can see on TV that there are many people living together without getting married."
"That's a TV show, it's just made up." Wang Laoqi glared at her and said, "You can't learn from anyone, let's learn from TV. There are murders and arson on TV. What, you want to learn too?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Xiao Meng waved his hands depressedly.
She has always had a boring temperament and is not good at arguing with others.
"That's it." Wang Laoqi nodded, "Whenever you and Yongqiang get married, you will move in together. When the time comes, I will never stop you."
"Okay." Wang Xiaomeng nodded frustratedly.
Later, she told Xiang Nan about it.
"Yongqiang, what should I do?" she said in a disappointed tone.
Forget it if people don’t have dreams. It’s really hard to have a dream but not be able to realize it.
"Don't be sad. Didn't the seventh uncle say that as long as we get married, we can move in together." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "In that case, let's hurry up and get married. Let's do this, no later than this year. In winter, I will marry you. Just in time, we can catch up with the spring enrollment of TV University."
"Yeah." Xiaomeng blushed and nodded.
She will become a bride by this winter at the latest. very happy!
…
Xiao Meng, who regained hope for the future, continued to work hard in the tofu shop.
Xiang Nan was also in the rented house, coding diligently and writing non-stop.
The days passed.
On September 1st, the first volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" "Jingjue Ancient City" was officially launched by Hujiang Publishing House.
Because of its magnificent imagination, vivid characters, and twists and turns in the story, this book is considered by the publisher to be a rare work of popular literature.
Therefore, Hujiang Publishing House carried out vigorous promotion. Big bookstores in Yanjing, Hujiang, Pengcheng, Jinmen, Shengjing, Chongqing, Tianfu... many big cities put them on the shelves immediately and placed them in the most conspicuous positions. ,attract readers.
In addition, a group of celebrities from mainland literary circles were invited to support this book.
And readers are also knowledgeable people. With such high quality, they will naturally not miss it.
Therefore, as soon as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was put on the shelves, sales were very good. In just one month, half a million copies have been sold, exceeding the expectations of Hujiang Publishing House.
In fact, after entering the new century, the traditional book publishing industry has become increasingly depressed due to the impact of the Internet.
Books that used to sell millions of copies can now sell 100,000 or 50,000 copies, which is considered a bestseller. Many books are not even bought after they are published, so they can only be sold to online bookstores at a discount, or even sent directly to paper mills for recycling.
"Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" sold half a million copies within one month of its release, which is really a good result.
Therefore, Hujiang Publishing House has stepped up its publicity campaign to further stimulate the sales of this book. On the one hand, he also urged Xiang Nan to release the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" as soon as possible.
In this way, the linkage of the two parts will also promote the sales of the first part.
Xiang Nan naturally had no objection to this, and he quickly took out the second volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Longling Mysterious Cave", and handed it over to Hujiang Publishing House.
After the editor of the publishing house reviewed the manuscript, he was very satisfied with the quality of the manuscript. After just a simple correction, it was officially released.
And for handing over the second manuscript, Xiang Nan received another 300,000 yuan in royalties.
As a result, he has nearly 550,000 on hand.
…
Xiang Nan used 300,000 of the money to buy a front house in the most prosperous area of Kaiyuan City.
Facade on the first floor and accommodation on the second floor, totaling 205 square meters. The first floor area is 70 square meters, and the second floor is 135 square meters.
His purpose of buying this apartment was first to use it as a wedding room and to live there temporarily for a year or two.
He married Xiao Meng and could not live without his own house. It would be really unfair if you still live in a rented house after getting married. After he earns enough money, he will go to big cities like Yanjing and Hujiang to buy a house.
The second is, after they move to big cities like Yanjing and Hujiang. This house can still be left to Xie Guangkun and his wife. There is such a front house, with people living in it and some small business being done below. Selling local products, opening a vegetable shop or a small supermarket are all good.
It's a way of making a living, and it also gives the couple something to do, so they won't be bored every day. For those who are used to working, idleness is more uncomfortable than death.
After buying the house, Xiang Nan hired people to start decorating it.
Although he only plans to live there for a year or two, the decoration is still to a high standard.
Xiang Nan has money now and is confident that he will make more money in the future, so he is unwilling to wrong himself and everything will be fine.
…
After the house was purchased, Xiao Meng, Wang Laoqi and his wife, Xie Guangkun and his wife, and Pi Changshan and his wife all came over to have a look and were very satisfied with the house.
"Xiao Meng, you are really lucky. You can enter the city so easily, and Yongqiang has prepared a big house for you to live in~" Xie Lan was filled with envy after reading this.
In fact, she also wants to live in the city. But with Pi Changshan's salary and all the money he had saved over the years, he couldn't even buy two toilets in this apartment.
"Sister, I still have some money on hand. If you want to come to the city, I can help you a little~" Xiang Nan smiled.
Xie Lan is actually a pretty good sister. Xie Guangkun favored boys over girls and made Yongqiang a college student, but Xie Lan didn't even finish elementary school.
With no education and no skills, Xie Lan could not do anything except farming at home and being a housewife.
But just like that, Xie Lan cared deeply about Yongqiang and loved him very much. He didn't feel jealous or complain, and he didn't take advantage of his younger brother.
In the episode, Pi Changshan wanted to buy a house in the city but had no money, so he asked Xie Lan to go to Yongqiang and Xiaomeng to borrow money, but she turned him back in person.
It can be seen that Xie Lan still has a bottom line in doing things. You shouldn't be touched, and you shouldn't be moved. A good sister like this should be respected, respected, and treated well.
"Goodbye." Upon hearing this, Xie Lan waved her hands and said, "You and Xiaomeng are getting married soon, and there are still plenty of places to spend money, so you should keep it for yourself.
Your brother-in-law and I are living well in the village, why do we come to the city for no reason? Moreover, the city is so far away from the village. If your brother-in-law rides to work every day, he will be tired and vomit blood within a few days. "
Seeing that she refused, Pi Changshan couldn't help but offered her several colors.
Xie Lan just pretended not to see it.
