After Zhang Zhong took Pengpeng home, the girl threw her schoolbag on the sofa, ran to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator, took out a stick of red bean ice cream, and then lay down comfortably on the sofa.
She was eating a popsicle when she saw Zhang Zhong looking at her. She quickly ran over and got another popsicle for Zhang Zhong, "Dad, here it is for you."
Zhang Zhong took the popsicle and said, "I must have eaten two popsicles today."
Pengpeng bared his teeth and said with a smile, "I won't eat it after eating this one."
Zhang Zhong smiled and shook his head, then walked over and put the popsicle back.
The weather was already very hot in June, so Zhang Zhong stored some popsicles in the refrigerator.
In order to prevent Peng Peng from eating too much, he initially placed the popsicles in the top grid so that Peng Peng could not reach them.
But this girl knows very well the principle of "a gentleman is good at fake things". Every time she wants to eat popsicles, she will drag the bench at home and climb on the bench first before getting the popsicles.
When Zhang Zhong saw this scene, he knew that it was now difficult for him to restrain Pengpeng in this way. He was also afraid that something would happen if she found a chair to get the popsicles, so he moved the popsicles to the bottom floor. If she wanted to eat them, she could
You can take it yourself.
However, Zhang Zhong still made a stipulation with her that she could only eat a maximum of two sticks a day.
Originally, Zhang Zhong told her that she could eat four pills in three days, but this girl's calculations are obviously much better now, and she no longer listens to Zhang Zhong's deception.
In fact, Zhang Zhong was a little worried at the beginning. After all, the popsicles were placed where she could get them at any time. She was still so young, so she might not be able to help herself from taking them secretly.
However, Pengpeng's performance is very good. After eating two candies every day, he will not take them again. This may also be because of the good foundation laid by the previous agreement with eating candies.
Sometimes she would ask Zhang Zhong to relax the policy if she felt it was not enough after eating two, but she would never take it to herself without Zhang Zhong's knowledge or consent.
He counted as many popsicles as he bought and ate, and after observing them for a few days, he felt relieved.
Pengpeng was watching TV, and Zhang Zhong went to the kitchen to cook.
While he was choosing vegetables, Chen Qing's phone called. Zhang Zhong turned on the hands-free speaker and put it on the chopping board, talking to Chen Qing while choosing vegetables.
"Teacher Zhang, have you eaten?"
"It's still early. I'm working on it. What can I do?"
Chen Qing smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "The official release time of the new book has been determined. It is the 14th of this month, just in time for the weekend."
Zhang Dian nodded, "Lin Lin just told me about this."
"Well, there's another thing. Teacher Zhao recently wrote a new book and he showed it to me. I was wondering if I could show it to you," Chen Qing said.
"Oh? He has written a new book? It's not very long, right?"
"Well, it's a novella, more than 50,000 words."
This book was probably written by Zhao Re in the past month, so it certainly cannot be too long.
Although Zhang Zhong was curious about what Zhao Re wrote, he did not ask specifically, but said, "There is no need to show it to me. If he wanted to show it to me, he wouldn't give it to you directly. You are his now
Agent, just contact him."
"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to Lin Lin later with my work."
"Well, okay."
The phone call ended and Zhang Zhong had finished choosing his dishes. He didn't expect that Zhao Re would publish another book so soon.
I just don't know if his new book continues the style of his previous book "The Chaotic Princes".
Zhang Zhong thought about it and thought that probably not, after all, more than ten years have passed and people will always change.
…
After finishing the meal, Zhang Zhong opened Weiyu and posted a message announcing the specific release time of "Dune".
June 14th is only ten days away from today.
Readers have finally let go of the big stone in their hearts. Although there was a whisper before that it would be released in the near future, the specific time was not announced, and no one was sure. After all, many new books in previous years were clearly announced to be released, but were delayed.
If you delay further, it will disappear completely.
Now even the release date has been announced, which proves that all subsequent work has been completed and is basically stable.
In fact, it's not all good news recently. Two days ago, Chen Qing showed Zhang Chong the new book sales data in North America.
"Snowman", which was still in the leading position, has been surpassed by "Western Tribe". Although the sales of several other books that have been released for a period of time are still at the top, but judging from this situation, they should be surpassed soon.
After all, their book is still in the new issue period.
For this reason, fans in China have spontaneously organized a wave of counterattacks, hoping to raise funds to increase the sales of "Snowman" in North America.
But it’s all thunder but not rain, because this matter is not easy to do. First of all, if you want to sell sales, you need a lot of funds. The funds required for one or two million copies may reach one or two billion Huaxia coins. Secondly,
It is also difficult to purchase. You have to send it over if you buy it. This involves cost and time issues.
Moreover, depending on the situation, even one or two million copies may not be enough.
Domestic readers argued for two days, and the matter ended without any resolution.
Some fans are not willing to give in, saying that although the sales in North America have been surpassed, in terms of global sales, "Snowman" is the father of "Western Tribe".
But that was all they could say. After all, "Western Tribes" was not released in China, so it was difficult to compare.
And the purpose of doing this is to get the No. 1 sales volume in North America and surpass "The Snowman". It doesn't matter how much your global sales are.
Zhang Zhong also read some of the opinions from netizens, but he didn't care about it himself and just laughed it off.
Promotional work for "Dune" is in full swing. With Affleck's assistance in North America, the film's reputation has long been established.
In China, Zhang Zhong has his own traffic, and Chen Qing has also contacted some media and helped write many soft articles.
Before the 14th, the title of the book "Dune" was a hot search almost every day.
However, in addition to "Dune", Zhang Zhong also had another book that was hotly searched on the 7th, and that was "Border Town".
On June 7th, the first day of the college entrance examination, when the Chinese language test just ended, the Internet was full of news about the college entrance examination in various provinces.
What is more eye-catching among them is the reading comprehension question in the Chinese language volume of Xiangxi Province, which is an excerpt from "Border Town".
On this day, a lot of college entrance examination questions appeared under Zhang Zhong's previous post about the release date of "Dune".
"When dusk comes, the border town is gentle, charming, and peaceful, but Cuicui's heart is desolate and painful. The most important reason is ()"
"A. The cuckoo keeps singing..."
"B. The heat is steaming..."
…
There are not many questions, there are three in total, one multiple choice question and two answer questions.
【Boss, we just want to ask, what is the correct answer?】
