In mid-August, Tian Shao received the manuscript fee from the publishing house. This time it was more, 460 yuan. Tian Shao took the remittance slip to withdraw the money, and then called Gu Hongxue.
Tian Shao first asked Gu Hong for advice, and then said: "Teacher Gu, I have received the royalties. I would like to know which month the royalties are due?"
Gu Hongxue was in charge of all these things, so he knew it very well. When Tian Shao asked, he smiled and said: "Your manuscript fee this time is calculated until the end of July. What, you are in urgent need of money and want to advance the manuscript fee?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "This year I have received almost a thousand yuan in royalties alone. How can I still be short of money? Teacher Gu, aren't everyone donating money and materials to the disaster area now? I want to do more."
So, I want to donate a thousand yuan in advance."
Gu Hongxue was quite moved. Many people in the newspaper were jealous of Tian Shao's high remuneration. Some people said that they would stop publishing her book, and some even wanted to destroy Tian Shao completely. When he knew about this, he was so frightened that he could not publish it.
He didn't sleep well for three days, for fear that the superiors would send someone to arrest Tian Shao. Later, he felt relieved when he heard that the superiors had suppressed the matter. As for the reason, he didn't know, and he didn't ask about it. It was just fine.
One thousand yuan is a large amount. Gu Hongxue asked: "Xiaotian, this is one thousand yuan. You have paid more than half a year's royalties. Are you sure you want to donate it in advance?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Teacher Gu, without the royalties, I still have a salary, so I can support myself. If you are worried, Teacher Gu, I will write you a letter."
"Xiaotian, why don't you come to the provincial capital in the next few days."
Tian Shao refused without thinking and said, "Teacher Gu, do you think this is a good idea? I will first write a letter entrusting you to make a donation on my behalf, and I will make up for it when I go to the provincial capital next time."
She was unwilling to go all the way to the provincial capital for this matter. The road was very bumpy and it took a long time. It was too painful.
Gu Hongxue agreed, and then asked about Li Qiao. After knowing that everything was fine with him, he said, "I sent you some things. You have one copy, and another copy for the teacher."
"OK."
Nowadays, the phone bill is very expensive. After talking about the matter, Tian Shao quickly hung up the phone. When he asked, it was one yuan and twenty cents, and he kept muttering that it was too expensive.
The staff at the post office thought Tian Shao was so interesting that he donated a thousand dollars in a blink of an eye, but the one dollar and twenty cents for the phone bill seemed like a cut. Turning around, he told his colleagues and family about this.
Now workers' wages are only twenty or thirty yuan, and one thousand yuan is equivalent to three years' salary of many workers. As soon as this news spread, some people believed it and others thought it was impossible, but this also made Tian Shao famous in Yongning County again.
Meng Yang's cousin happened to work at the post office, so he got the news before others. As soon as he got to work, Meng Yang asked: "Accountant Tian, I heard that you donated another thousand yuan to the disaster area. Is it true?
?”
Brush, brush, brush...
When the other five people in the office heard this, including Zhao Xiaorou, they all looked at Tian Shao.
Tian Shao was a little helpless and said: "You are too well-informed. I just called Editor Gu at the post office yesterday to tell him about this, and you will know today."
That's not her who does good deeds without leaving her name. Of course, she doesn't want fame, but wants everyone to know that she has donated all her royalties. In this way, everyone will no longer be jealous, but praise her for her high level of consciousness.
Meng Yang was dubious before, after all, the money was too much, but now he can only admire it.
Liu Wan'er was so jealous that her reason was covered up, and she said what she said without thinking: "Accountant Tian, a donation is one thousand yuan, so your monthly royalties are hundreds or even thousands. Accountant Tian, you are too rich.
Already."
At this time, saying you are rich is not a good thing.
Zhao Xiaorou lowered her head, not letting everyone see the disgust and ridicule in her eyes.
Tian Shao said with a smile: "It has been almost a year since I published the book last year, and it only cost more than 600 yuan. This thousand yuan is an advance payment for the next year's manuscript fees from the publisher."
This time, she said the royalties were collected in half a year. But even so, many people were jealous.
Pang Hui said with admiration: "Accountant Tian, I want to learn from you, and I decided to donate another month's salary."
The expressions of the others changed slightly and they did not dare to respond.
Tian Shao shook his head and said: "Comrade Pang Hui, I will donate one thousand in royalties, so that I still have a salary that will not affect my life. Your father is not in good health and your sister wants to study, so I will donate two months of salary to you."
Dad doesn’t have money to take medicine, wouldn’t he do bad things out of good intentions?”
Pang Hui was very happy after hearing this. He stared at Tian Shao and said, "Accountant Tian, you actually know the situation in my family."
That voice was somewhat gentle.
Tian Shao responded quickly and said with a smile: "We are colleagues, and I have heard about your situation. Accountant Pang, I think no matter what we do, we must do our best."
Meng Yang felt a lot relieved after hearing this. He donated one month's salary last time. Although he was willing, he still didn't sleep all night. If he was asked to donate another month's salary, well, his wife would probably quarrel with him.
Zhao Kang felt very complicated after hearing this. This girl was willing to donate thousands of royalties a year, so why should she withhold the four yellow croakers? That night, he went to Tian Shao to ask about the matter.
The corner of Tian Shao's mouth twitched. He had already said that he would return the yellow croaker at the end of next year, so why did he pursue it? Alas, I don't know whether it is good or bad to be so persistent.
Tian Shao said: "I'm not as great as you think. The reason why I donated a thousand yuan is because I don't want to be targeted again."
"Are you being targeted?"
Tian Shao nodded and said: "Some people in the publishing house were jealous that I received so much royalties, and many people wrote letters to report me. Thanks to my previous help to Qin Ge, which made him meritorious, the people above did not pursue the case."
In fact, this matter was suppressed by Zhao Xiaorou's uncle. Zhao Xiaorou told him the details of the Chihu case. After hearing about Pei Yue, he asked his friends to investigate.
Then I found out that it was not all smooth sailing for Pei Yue. He went through several things, but in the end everything was saved.
Zhao Xiaorou's uncle did not dare to investigate further after checking this point, because he knew that Pei Yue must have a deep background, otherwise he would not be so lucky every time. Uncle Zhao Xiaorou would not dare to offend such a person. Tian Shao
If you catch his light, you will be shunned.
Zhao Kang didn't expect this to be the reason: "Do you know who reported you?"
Tian Shao shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't have the ability to check. Anyway, I donated all the royalties for the next year, so they won't keep an eye on me anymore."
After two years of doing things, you won’t have to be so constrained. Many people say that the 1980s was the best era. A pig can take off. Well, she can definitely take off too.
