Lu Weiguo didn't know that his appearance had scolded many men in the family.
When he got home, he handed the letter to Shi Tingyu.
Shi Tingyu saw that the sender was a publishing house, and he probably knew what was going on.
She opened the letter and saw that it was indeed a reprint of "Loyal Dog".
It's just that the print run of this reprint is a bit scary.
The print run of this reprint has doubled, from the original 100,000 copies to 200,000 copies.
When she signed the contract, the royalties for the second edition were two points higher than the royalties for the first printing, which was 12%. This time she was able to get a royalties of 12,000.
At the same time, the letter reminded me of the second volume of Ting Yu’s stories.
I hope she can continue to invest in their publishing house, and the royalties are easy to negotiate.
After reading the letter from the publisher, Shi Tingyu took a deep breath. She looked at Lu Weiguo and said, "'Loyal Dog' is going to be republished, and this time the money will be 12,000."
Lu Weiguo was also shocked, "So many?"
Shi Tingyu said: "The print run of this reprint has doubled compared to the last time."
Originally I could get five thousand, but this time I got twelve thousand directly.
Lu Weiguo saw that his daughter-in-law still looked like she couldn't come to her senses, so he comforted her: "It's okay, you deserve this. If you sell the painting alone, the value will be much higher than this, so don't be burdened."
Shi Tingyu wasn't being pretentious, he just felt that the money was a bit too eye-catching.
Especially in this era.
Nowadays, there are only a few households worth ten thousand yuan, so she can make a profit just by publishing it again.
This matter must not be leaked.
However, she thought about some reports she had seen in her previous life. From the founding of New China to before the Great Revolution, the royalties were very high.
At that time, Mr. Qian Chunqi, a translator in Shanghai, received RMB 8,000 in royalties for translating a book of Poems. At that time, workers’ wages were not as high as they are now. One book really meant a courtyard house.
Thinking of this, she calmed down again.
It's okay, as long as the neighbors don't know.
The next day, Shi Tingyu went to the post office and called the publisher back, telling them that she had no objection to the reprint quantity and royalties.
After making the phone call and paying the money, she sent the sample book from the publishing house last time to Lu's father and Lu's mother. She told her that she had lost the book and kept it here. If the secret was revealed one day, it would be wrong. not good.
This time she also sent the finished second story of "Loyal Dog" to the publishing house.
If there are no problems with the second story, then there will be another income.
When she came out this time, Shi Tingyu replenished some painting materials for herself. The paints she had at home were almost used up, and she needed more painting paper.
This time Shi Tingyu simply bought more at once.
Put half into the space and put the rest on the surface.
The National Day has passed and the weather is getting colder.
She was thinking that winter would come soon and she would have to buy some clothes to send to her parents.
When they were sent down, they didn't have much to bring with them. Some thicker clothes were bought by Lu's parents after they settled down.
It was new when I bought it. When it was delivered to the cowshed, Mother Lu had sewn some patches on the outside using old clothes.
Seeing the good clothes turned into "rags" in an instant, Lu's mother felt a twinge in her heart.
Buying clothes can't just be for her parents, the elders of both families have to take care of it. There are too many things, and she plans to wait for Lu Weiguo to go out to buy them together one day when he has a day off.
After all, she doesn’t know the sizes of Lu’s father and Lu’s mother yet.
When returning, Shi Tingyu brought back some painting materials and fruits.
She slowly planted a lot of fruits in her space, and now they can all be eaten. I just happened to take out more this time.
There were also chestnuts. The wild chestnuts from before were also ripe, so she also took some out.
When she returned to the family home this time, everyone who saw her would always say hello to her from time to time.
Shi Tingyu also responded one by one.
Seeing the thing in her hand, everyone was envious and jealous, but they no longer made irresponsible remarks like they did when they first got married.
When she first got married, people would talk behind her back and say she was wasting her money if she bought some meat. Now everyone knows that she has made money by publishing books, and it is hard for them to say anything about this little food now.
In a word, what makes money is toughness.
When Lu Weiguo returned home, he smelled the sweet smell of roasted chestnuts. When he entered the main room, he also smelled a light fruity aroma.
He asked Shi Tingyu who was cooking in the kitchen: "Daughter-in-law, have you bought chestnuts?"
Shi Tingyu said: "Well, it's still baking in the bread kiln."
Lu Weiguo went to the bakery to have a look, then returned to the house and saw several bags of fruit on the table.
He actually saw a big red strawberry full of juice.
This is a rare thing.
He thought to himself, his wife is really lucky.
After changing his shoes, Lu Weiguo carried the strawberries to the well and washed them out.
I can't help but eat this stuff. I have to eat it first.
After washing, the strawberries were even more tender. He carried a plate of strawberries into the kitchen and stuffed one into Shi Tingyu's mouth.
Strawberries are produced in space, with high sweetness and rich flavor. One bite will make people feel more energetic.
Shi Tingyu swallowed the strawberry, and Lu Weiguo handed her another one.
Shi Tingyu said, "You eat too."
Lu Weiguo didn't say anything, he just kept putting strawberries into her mouth.
In the end, Shi Tingyu ate it.
Seeing that Lu Weiguo was only feeding her but not moving at all, Shi Tingyu reached out and took one and stuffed it into his mouth.
The entrance was filled with the sweetness of strawberry. Lu Weiguo felt that all the fruits he had eaten before were in vain. This taste was so good.
However, Shi Tingyu refused to feed him again, "These strawberries are rare. I don't know when I will encounter them next time. I'll give them to you."
Shi Tingyu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She said, "I bought these just for food, and there are so many. I can't finish them all at once, otherwise they will go bad. It's a big deal and I'll buy them next time. If you want to, you can always buy them." Bought.”
Lu Weiguo looked at her a little anxiously, with a little warmth in his narrow eyes. He leaned in her direction and said, "Then feed me."
Shi Tingyu was speechless by his sudden move, so she picked the biggest one and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then he said: "Okay, I'm going to cook, don't make trouble here."
Lu Weiguo ate strawberries and stole some incense before leaving.
After the meal, the two of us ate all the remaining strawberries.
None of the roasted chestnuts have been touched since they were prepared. Even after finishing the meal, Shi Tingyu wanted to taste them.
Lu Weiguo peeled chestnuts for her.
Chestnuts were difficult to peel, so someone peeled them for her, and Shi Tingyu ate them with relish.
Finally, conscience discovered that Li Ziren, who had brought Lu Weiguo to his mouth, was put into the other person's mouth.
Lu Weiguo chewed it and praised: "My wife feeds it well, the chestnuts I eat on weekdays don't have this taste."
Shi Tingyu felt a little guilty and wondered if there was a possibility that her chestnuts were not ordinary chestnuts.
Seeing that Lu Weiguo was enjoying the food, Shi Tingyu peeled it off himself. After peeling it off, he put it in his mouth. While doing so, he said, "If you like to eat, take some to the camp. You can eat some during your break." .”
Lu Weiguo smiled and said, "I'll just eat at home."
He dared to say that if he brought it to the camp, this thing would be gone in seconds.
