Chapter 987 989 [The first bucket of gold]

  Going out with beautiful women is of course a good thing.

   Ke Xiangnan has no money, so it is a bit troublesome.

   After all, when going out with girls, buying a bottle of drink and having a meal is the most basic.

   If you are having fun, you can’t afford to go to sing a song, go shopping, or buy a souvenir. If there is no three or five hundred, don't even think about it.

   And Xiang Nan now only has ten yuan in his hand, which is enough to buy three bottles of Coke.

  With so little money, how can I take girls out to play. It's always embarrassing to ask people to treat you.

  So Xiang Nan lied first.

   Fortunately, Ling Xiangqian didn't doubt it, and readily agreed, "Okay, then it's a deal."

  …

  Taking back the phone, Xiang Nan continued to sell fish in the vegetable market.

   Right at this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly.

   "Dad, you look at the stall first, I'll answer the phone." Xiang Nan put the knife horizontally on the chopping board, then walked to a secluded place, and pressed the answer button.

   "Hi, hello, is this Mr. Chu Tiankuo?" A man's voice came from the phone, "I am Feng Yunlong, editor of Jingu Legend Magazine."

   "Mr. Feng, hello~" Xiang Nan nodded immediately, "Yes, I am Chu Tiankuo."

   "It's like this, Mr. Chu, we are very satisfied with your masterpiece "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" after reading it, and plan to serialize it at a price of 80 yuan per thousand characters. I wonder if you agree?" Feng Yunlong continued.

   "Yes." Xiang Nan nodded.

   Eighty yuan per thousand words, although it cannot be compared with top writers. But compared with fledgling writers, it's not bad.

   Besides, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has a total of eight parts, and the first part has a thousand words and eighty words, so it doesn't matter if you earn less. After making a name in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to raise the price.

   "Okay, I wonder how many words you plan to write in this novel?" Feng Yunlong asked curiously again.

   "It should be about 250,000 words." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.

   "Okay, then we continue to look forward to your masterpiece. I hope you can guarantee the quality, otherwise we have the right to cut off the serialization." Feng Yunlong said again.

   "Don't worry, I won't finish it unfinished." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

  …

   Two days later, Xiang Nan and his dad called it a day and rode a tricycle home.

   "Tiantian, come here, I have a letter from you." When passing by the canteen at the door, the uncle of the canteen poked his head out and said.

  Xiang Nan stopped the car when he heard it, went into the store and took the letter. He saw that it was from the "Legend of the Ancient Times" magazine. Although he was mentally prepared, his heart still jumped twice when he saw this letter.

   "Thank you, Third Master." Xiang Nan smiled, then packed the letter, returned to the three wheels, and continued to pedal home.

   "Son, who can trust you, is it a love letter?" Chu Guoqiang said quickly, "Let me tell you, now is not the time to deal with this. Our family is pointing at you to go to college and be promising."

   "I know, it's not a love letter." Xiang Nan denied, "It's an Olympiad question I asked my senior for advice."

   "Oh, that's okay." Chu Guoqiang nodded.

  …

  After returning home, Xiang Nan ate first, and then went back to study.

   After the family members were all asleep, he took out the letter and opened it. As expected, there was a remittance slip and a letter from the chief editor.

  The letter praised Xiang Nan's novels for novel themes, vivid characters, and ups and downs in the story. Very rare for a newcomer author. And encourage him to continue to create and strive for more good works.

  Xiang Nan smiled, tore up the envelope together with the letter, soaked it in water, scratched it, destroyed the body, and hid the remittance slip.

  He is not going to hand over the money to his parents.

   Come on, a big man must not be without power for a day, and a young man must not be without money for a day. He only earned more than 2,000 yuan this time, so he had to keep it in his hands for emergencies.

  Secondly, Chu Tiankuo's parents are more philistine and greedy. To do a small business worth a few dollars, you have to find a way to take advantage of it. It's hard to imagine how they would squeeze themselves if they knew they could write novels.

  Like Macaulay Culkin and Britney Spears, they were ruined by their own family members. They regard children as cash cows, cornucopias, and keep squeezing them so that they wither prematurely.

  Xiang Nan didn't want to have such a fate, so he wanted to keep it from his family first.

  …

  The next day, Xiang Nan asked his parents for leave in the name of going to the city library to search for information.

  He Yufen and Chu Guoqiang have no objection to this. Although they are philistine and vulgar, they are still very concerned about their children's learning.

  For them, the better their grades are, the more likely they are to be admitted to a good university. After graduation, it will be easier to find a good job and earn more money. When the time comes, take them to a big city to enjoy the blessings.

  Xiang Nan immediately took the account book and went to the post office to collect the money. Then he sent a text message to Ling Xiangqian, asking her to go to the beach with her tomorrow.

  …

  After Ling Xiangqian received Xiang Nan's text message, she was surprised and delighted.

  Originally, she was lying on the bed reading a book, and she had nothing to do. After seeing the content of the text message, he jumped off the bed.

   "Okay, I have time tomorrow." She replied excitedly, her hands trembling a little.

   "Then let's meet at Silver Beach at two o'clock in the afternoon." Xiang Nan replied.

  Seeing this text message, Ling Xiangqian jumped up and down three times happily, it was really his wife who was so happy.

  After having fun, she began to prepare for tomorrow.

  Wear a skirt or shorts, should you wear a dress, should you wear a shawl or a ponytail...

  While preparing enthusiastically, suddenly she remembered something.

  When Xiang Nan made an appointment with her just now, he didn't mention that he also made an appointment with someone else.

   "Doesn't that mean that this time is actually a two-person date!" After realizing this, Ling Xiangqian was so excited that she trembled all over, and she wanted to go to the toilet.

  …

   After withdrawing the money, Xiang Nan went home to hide the money, and then went to the vegetable market to help.

   A few days later, he asked his parents for leave. At 1:30 in the afternoon, he took the bus to Silver Beach.

  Not long after arriving, I saw Ling Xiangqian walking out of a taxi wearing a cream yellow skirt.

  Xiang Nan hurriedly greeted him.

   "Tiankuo~" Ling Xiangqian hurried over, "Sorry, I'm late."

   "It's okay, I just arrived too." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Come on, let's go play."

   "Okay." Ling Xiangqian nodded with a smile, and went to the beach with Xiang Nan.

  Actually, she was born by the sea since she was a child. The sea, the waves, the beaches, the fish, the shrimps, the crabs, these things that make tourists from other places exclaim endlessly, to her, she is used to seeing them a long time ago, and it is not surprising at all.

  But today, with Xiang Nan's company, she found that all this has become so alive.

  The sky is so blue, the sea is so big, and the waves are so white, even small fish, shrimp, and small crabs are full of life.

  Xiang Nan also found a shovel and bucket, and built a sand sculpture castle for Ling Xiangqian.

  He inherited Chen Xiaozheng's construction skills, and Xu Wenchang's real estate knowledge. It is still very easy to build a sand sculpture castle.

  Ling Xiangqian couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when she saw that Xiang Nan had been busy for two hours digging out cakes on the flat ground to build a magnificent castle.

   "How about it, little princess Sissi, this castle suits you well?" Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Well, Tiankuo, your hands are so skillful. I have never seen such a beautiful castle." Ling Xiangqian praised.
