Chapter 1,274 Cai Xiaolis regret, she will never be taken advantage of
Being a writer is definitely a high-paying job.
Cai Xiaoli has never eaten pork, but she has seen pigs running away.
When I was an educated youth in the countryside, there were educated youths who submitted articles to the city newspapers.
An ordinary editorial of a few hundred words can cost from 50 cents to 1 yuan.
This book "Blood Romance" is extremely popular. As an author, the royalties should be at least several hundred yuan, right?
When Cai Xiaoli thought of this, she was first surprised, then shocked, and finally turned into aggrieved and even angry.
Why did you not know this news until now?
If he had known the news earlier, even if he was despised by thousands of people, he would have been shameless enough to fight for it and get Su Mingzhe.
Unfortunately, Su Mingzhe and Han Chunyan's wedding invitations have already been sent out.
It's too late to say anything now!
Seeing the change in Cai Xiaoli's expression, Su Mingzhe thought that this girl was jealous of her talent, so he could only try his best to show a "reluctant" expression and whispered:
"Actually, I wrote this book when I was an educated youth. When I was an educated youth, I was afraid of being discovered and reported... Fortunately, we all get along well..."
After listening to the man's words, Cai Xiaoli thought of the original owner Su Mingzhe when he was an educated youth in the countryside, and felt even more depressed.
When the original owner Su Mingzhe was an educated youth, he always had a "gentle and gentle" appearance. Coupled with the issue of his identity, others liked to tease him when they saw him, or even make fun of him, so few people liked him at all.
This was also the reason why the original owner was willing to become a cook after he returned to Beijing.
After all, the profession of "chef" is one of the eight major job types in the new society, and it is a popular category of people.
If she had gotten a little closer to Su Mingzhe and expressed some concern, maybe their relationship would be very different now, right?
Unfortunately, all these assumptions are just 'ifs'.
Su Mingzhe made up a few lies to fool Cai Xiaoli. Seeing that her mood had stabilized a little, he continued to preach:
"The magazine is only halfway serialized now, and the rest will take four or five issues to be serialized!"
"So, this book cannot be spread outside for the time being..."
When Cai Xiaoli saw that the man was so "indifferent" to her, her heart felt as if the kitchen shelf had been knocked down, all the sour, spicy, bitter and salty emotions rushed into her heart.
Cai Xiaoli's originally suppressed emotions suddenly burst out, and she had the urge to pounce on the man and cook the raw rice into cooked rice.
Fortunately, Cai Xiaoli is still sensible. Although she is filled with resentment and her eyes are starting to glow green, that's all.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Cai Xiaoli could only say goodbye and left angrily.
After sending Cai Xiaoli away, Su Mingzhe did not dare to stay at home anymore.
After packing my luggage, I came to Lao Han's house.
Su Mingzhe and Han Chunyan have already registered, but they haven't held their wedding yet.
So, Su Mingzhe came to Lao Han's house and called "Mom" after seeing Han's mother.
Mother Han also responded with a smile:
"Mingzhe is here, Chunyan is at home."
Although marriage became more and more popular in the 1970s, there are still only a few families who can actually manage it.
What's more, Su Mingzhe also gave me two hundred yuan as a betrothal gift.
With such a heavy betrothal gift, it was difficult for Mother Han not to smile when she faced her second son-in-law.
Su Mingzhe entered the house and saw his wife sitting on the bedside knitting a new sweater.
In this era, when a man and a woman get married, the man must pay a betrothal gift, and the woman must also have a symmetrical dowry.
It is impossible for the woman to turn into a gold-eating beast that can only get in but not get out.
The Han family prepared four quilts, four sets of new clothes, and two sets of sweaters and woolen pants.
Su Mingzhe reached out and touched the sweater, it was quite slippery.
"...He's working!"
Han Chunyan had already heard the sound of the man entering the door, but she did not raise her head to say hello because she was shy. As a result, the man was dishonest when he entered the house, causing her to prick herself.
Fortunately, this is a sweater needle, so there is no need to worry about bleeding.
"Does it hurt? Let me rub it for you..."
When Su Mingzhe saw the woman frowning, he immediately put her little hands in his arms in distress.
Han Chunyan was about to refuse, but who knew that the drunkard's intention was not to drink.
In a moment, the man followed his arm and occupied the woman's high ground.
Half an hour later, the two men ended the fight in a hurry.
After cleaning up and cleaning up, the two of them leaned together and chatted.
It stands to reason that the two of them were somewhat unruly when working in the Han family.
However, at the beginning of the month, the two went to register their wedding day.
Su Mingzhe had already taken Han Chunyan to spend the night in a hotel.
The reason why she is working in the Han family now is entirely because Han Chunyan doesn't want the man to waste the rent money.
The young couple chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Su Mingzhe got out of bed and prepared to go to work.
When I was going out, I happened to bump into Han Mu who was coming back. She said hello and was about to leave.
Mother Han stopped her son-in-law and asked with a smile on her face:
"Mingzhe, how many tables are you and Chunyan planning to host at Zhengyang Hotel?"
"Mom, we have reserved eight banquet tables!"
Su Mingzhe didn't have many relatives or friends here, and the invitations were only sent to a few close educated youths, a few colleagues, and Su Meng's family.
Even if some people bring their families with them, it is enough to include three tables.
The remaining five tables are all neighbors and relatives of the Han family.
"That's it."
Mother Han said with some embarrassment:
"Chunyan, her aunt, heard the news that she is getting married, and she is coming to attend the wedding. Several families, maybe their families, are coming here. Do you think you can add two more tables?"
"Mom, are two tables enough? If not, it doesn't matter if you book a few more tables!"
Su Mingzhe has watched the TV series and knows what the aunts and cousins of the Han family are like.
He was really afraid that there wouldn't be enough seats at the two tables.
"Enough, enough."
When Mother Han saw her son-in-law agreeing, she was happy at first, but then she sighed and said:
"Mingzhe, you still don't know about Chunyan's aunt's family. They are from rural areas. It's far away from here, so it's not easy to go back and forth. Every time we come here, our family has to sort out some old clothes and bring them to them.
When we go back, rural people don’t have much spare money, so our family pays for the travel expenses..."
When Su Mingzhe heard this, he wanted to roll his eyes.
He finally saw that this old lady really dared to think.
The hidden meaning behind these words was that she clearly wanted to help her relatives along with her.
The old lady was even prepared to reimburse the travel expenses of these relatives to attend the wedding!
Of course, the fare is not much.
According to the old lady, if you add two tables, there will be less than twenty people.
In the TV series, the old lady said that the round trip fare for three people was just over three yuan.
The travel expenses for less than twenty people are only twenty yuan at most.
I have already spent a thousand yuan just to get married, so it doesn't matter if I spend twenty yuan more.
The question is, if I agree to pay twenty yuan, can the wedding go smoothly?
And living a married life is not something that happens in a day or two.
After this wedding, they came to visit relatives and reimbursed their own travel expenses. In the future, these relatives will continue to come to the city to visit each other?
After all, I can reimburse my travel expenses, and I can get some old clothes back when I leave. I’m afraid these relatives won’t be able to visit often!
Su Mingzhe is naturally not afraid of being beaten by the autumn wind.
Only in this era,
You really can't show off your wealth.
Otherwise, your reputation as someone who has been taken advantage of will be ruined for the rest of your life.
Therefore, in the face of Mother Han's sighs, Su Mingzhe could only persuade her gently and ignore her completely.
Seeing that Su Mingzhe was not talking to her, Mother Han was too embarrassed to expose her words, which made everyone unhappy, so she could only go home unhappy.
