Chapter 161 If others knew about it, wouldn’t they call it private money?
After being stunned for a while, she quickly read the letter again, wondering why so much royalties were sent this time.
Then I saw the letter saying that the royalties were for the entire story she wrote, which was about a hundred yuan, and the remaining four hundred yuan was a share of the newspapers sold and the books published.
The editor said that the response to her first published novel was very good, especially now that it is the period when educated youths go to the countryside, and the book about going to the countryside to build rural areas is even more popular. There are so many people buying it that they get a lot of profit, which is enough. It's nearly four hundred dollars.
Moreover, this share is only for one quarter. If it is sold later, there will still be shares.
Since the publication of her first novel was very successful, her editor told her that the publisher has taken a fancy to her second novel and is preparing to publish it. If the first two novels are well received when they are published, then she will write another novel in the future. As long as the quality of the manuscripts does not decline, almost every one of them can be published.
The royalties will definitely be considerable at that time.
Yun Qinghuan looked at the letter, this time he was really excited and his hands were shaking.
She seemed to see all the money running towards her.
The royalties for a book are only so much. If she published a few more books, she would be considered to have achieved financial freedom in this era!
With these 600 yuan, Yun Qinghuan instantly felt that the money spent on cosmetics didn't bother her anymore, and she planned to buy more food to feed her family.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought another bottle of malted milk, two pounds of brown sugar, two pounds of fresh chicken cake, one pound of fruit candies, and one pound of white rabbit toffee.
It was a coincidence that when she first arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, there was a pork seller there. Yun Qinghuan naturally took the opportunity to buy several kilograms of pork and three kilograms of ribs.
After a great harvest, I put all my things in the basket on my back, covered them with rags, and then carried my things to the state-owned hotel. I ordered a plate of braised pork, a portion of white rice, and a free bowl of rice. Soup, after buying so many things and walking all morning, she was already tired and hungry.
At this moment, when the fragrant braised pork and rice were served, her eyes lit up. She was stunned and ate the plate of braised pork and potatoes without leaving any residue. The last bit of gravy was not wasted, and she poured it directly into the bowl and mixed it. Rice, and after finishing the rice, I got a bowl of free soup.
The free soup was crystal clear, with only a few scattered vegetable leaves. Yun Qinghuan poured the soup into the plate, making sure that all the meat juice on the plate was washed away and went into his stomach.
After finishing her meal, her bowl was as clean as if it had been brushed.
Then he couldn't help but burp.
Many people nearby looked at her in surprise. Seeing that she was eating so shamelessly, several people looked at her with disdain.
Yun Qinghuan didn't care what others thought of her. After eating and drinking, she planned to take the bullock cart back to the village.
I was planning to leave, but when I thought of something, I turned around and went to the restaurant to buy a big white flour steamed bun, and then I went to ride the bullock cart.
Old Li, who was driving the cattle cart, was already waiting there. The scorching sun was so hot that a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. When he saw Yun Qinghuan, he smiled and said, "Yun Qingqing, why don't you stop shopping?"
Then he saw the full backpack she was carrying behind her, and asked curiously, "What did you buy for this? It's so heavy."
Yun Qing said with a smile, "It's not easy to come to the town. I probably won't come before the wedding, so I bought some more. There will be a lot of things for the wedding banquet. Come on, you haven't eaten yet, right? This big guy I bought the steamed buns at the state-owned restaurant, you can eat them first to satisfy your stomach."
"Girl, how can I ask for your steamed buns? You hurry up and eat it yourself, or you go back and give it to your son. This white flour steamed bun will be ruined if I eat it. Besides, I'm not hungry yet." Old Man Li smacked his lips, took a sip of water, and refused directly.
Darling, this is a steamed bun with white flour. White flour is a fine grain and is very valuable. No one is willing to eat it. They trade fine grain for coarse grain. The fine grain of a big white flour steamed bun can be exchanged for a whole meal of coarse grain for a family.
In this age where being able to have enough food is considered extremely happy, it can be seen how sinful it is to eat fine grains in the village.
Regardless of his refusal, Yun Qinghuan stuffed it directly into him, "Grandpa Li, take it if it's given to you. I bought it specially for you. During this time, our family also used yours when moving tables, chairs, and shopping. Ox cart, I won’t be happy if you don’t take it, there aren’t many things, it’s just a wish.”
A few days ago, Bai Naihan went to prepare benches for the wedding banquet, as well as pots and pans. There were too many things. Old man Li happened to be passing by. When he saw this, he helped him to Bai's house and left without anyone having a drink of water.
Old Man Li smiled when he heard this, "It's all a matter of a little effort."
However, he still took the steamed bun, but he was reluctant to eat it. Instead, he put the steamed bun in his pocket, obviously wanting to go home and feed it to his children.
Yun Qinghuan looked away calmly. Almost all adults in this era are like this. As long as there is delicious food, they will take it home for their children to eat. It feels like there is a strong sense of humanity between people.
When he got home, Yun Qinghuan told his family that his royalties were paid today, so he bought a lot of delicious food to supplement his family.
When Liu Yuzhi saw that the things she bought in a basket were all for food, and they were all very expensive, she felt a little distressed, but she didn't say much. She knew it was her daughter-in-law who felt sorry for her family.
She didn't ask her how much her royalties were. Now her mother-in-law still thinks that her daughter-in-law's monthly royalties shouldn't be much, and she bought more things this time than before. So she guessed that Yun Qinghuan's royalties should have increased, but she couldn't have guessed more. At most, it was twenty yuan a month. I never thought that my daughter-in-law had already received a thousand yuan in royalties in just six months.
Liu Yuzhi even sometimes persuaded Yun Qinghuan to save some money, fearing that she would be stupid and spend all the royalties on food, and she had no savings.
Yun Qinghuan just smiled and said that she still had money, so she could rest assured.
It was also because of eating meat and refined grains from time to time that Liu Yuzhi knew that her daughter-in-law was not used to eating whole grains. In the past, her family would deliberately replace the fine grains with coarse grains, but she no longer does so now.
Most of the eggs laid by the chickens at home were kept in exchange for money, but now because Yun Qinghuan likes to eat them, they are not kept in exchange for money.
The food standard at home has risen several levels.
Yun Qinghuan also likes that people don't ask her how much royalties she earns. She neither wants to lie to others nor tells the truth.
After all, the royalties are increasing, and if others find out, they will definitely become jealous and slander her behind her back.
Moreover, if others know about private money, wouldn’t it be called private money?
Thinking of this, Yunqing smiled happily.
That is to say, Bai Naihan is a very smart person. From her happy demeanor and the pride of buying so much meat, he knew that she might have made a lot of royalties today. He looked at her with a fond smile and did not expose it.
