Chapter 90

~11 min read 2,100 words

Every month on the holiday, you can always see many medium-sized buses on the big playground, all of which are students from the towns below coming to pick them up to go home.

Seeing this familiar scene again after being reborn, Li Heng felt envious. When will there be a bus from the town to pick them up?

But this seems to be just thinking about it.

Students who can get into the city's First High School, the town only produces a few every year. In an era when buses are still rare resources, who would come? It's not cost-effective.

Mai Sui got on the family's van again.

Chen Lijun and Liu Li, who also came from Dongkou County, also got on the medium-sized bus.

Song Yu was also picked up by her parents and walked home.

For a time, only Li Heng, Zhang Zhiyong, and Sun Manning were left on the playground.

Sun Manning asked Li Heng: "Play basketball? I'll accompany you to play basketball."

Li Heng was thinking about Xiao Han, shook his head, "Let Old Yong accompany you to play, I have something to do."

Sun Manning stretched her neck and asked: "Your sweetheart Song Yu has gone home, what else can you have?"

"Go see the second sister."

Li Heng told a lie casually, and then secretly gave the oblivious one a wink, asking him to contain this girl.

Having to face girls alone again, Zhang Zhiyong was a bit unhappy. He had no silver in his pocket at the end of the month and wanted to mooch a meal, but he was dismissed like this.

However, this guy has always been loyal, and he blocked Sun Manning with courage: "Sun Manning, let's go play billiards, mother's! Old man is not convinced that I lost to you last time, come again today! Dare you?"

Hearing this, Sun Manning grinned, rolled up her sleeves and said: "Come if you want, what's there to dare? Today I guarantee to beat you until you find your teeth all over the floor."

Seeing these two goods go straight to the billiard hall, Li Heng couldn't help but nod. Not bad, although the oblivious one is often nerve-wracking, he occasionally has moments when his brain is bright.

Just when he was about to step on his feet and walk towards the school gate, a voice suddenly came from the third floor of the teacher's family building.

"Li Heng, come here."

The voice was very magnetic, and just listening to it, without looking at the person, felt very sexy.

Li Heng looked up and didn't ask why the English teacher called him, and very neatly turned around and entered the stairwell.

Ceng ceng ceng... turned a corner, and ceng ceng ceng again, and soon went up to the third floor.

"Teacher, what do you want from me?" Arriving at the door, Li Heng asked with a small pant.

"Come in." Wang Runwen in the door adjusted her glasses with her fingertips and walked towards the dining table.

Before entering the door, Li Heng, who changed his shoes, had already smelled a meaty fragrance. It seems the teacher is calling him to eat.

For an era of lack of food and grain, originally this was a happy thing, but he couldn't be happy at this moment, nothing else, he had to go to an appointment.

If he stood up Yang Yingwen this time, with Old Mabu's temper, she might not help him next time.

"Why? I invited you to dinner, and you are still unwilling?"

Wang Runwen looked at the look on his face, which was not as happy as before, and immediately crossed her hands on her chest, squinted her eyes and asked.

Well, there is rice wine on the table, it seems the teacher has encountered something and wants to find someone to relieve her boredom.

Thinking of this, Li Heng said frankly: "How can I be unwilling, I can't be excited enough, but I made an appointment with a classmate to have dinner together, and I'm afraid people will wait in vain."

Wang Runwen's brain circuit was the same as Sun Manning's, "I watched Song Yu leave, who else can you make an appointment with?"

Li Heng answered: "Teacher, look at what you said, I have many classmates, not just one Song Yu."

Wang Runwen sneered and asked: "Hooked up with a new girl again?"

Li Heng asked back: "Can't it be a man?"

Wang Runwen hehe, "What kind of person you are, don't I know? Would you refuse these two bowls of meat on the table for a man?"

Li Heng shook his head, "Different, Teacher, you can't finish these dishes alone, I still have some to eat when I come back from the appointment."

Wang Runwen looked at him for a while, her voice suddenly became much colder, "Then get out quickly!"

"Don't, Teacher, don't be so ungrateful, even if we can't eat this meal together, we are still relatives and friends in the future." Li Heng blinked.

"Get out! If you can't finish eating later, I'll take all these dishes to feed the dog." Wang Runwen didn't buy his set at all, and her chin pointed towards the door.

Looking at the wall clock, Li Heng weighed it and decided to see Xiao Han. The importance of the latter to him was not something ordinary people could compare.

Watching him return to the door, Wang Runwen shouted behind: "Wait."

Li Heng stopped his body and turned his head to look.

Only to see Wang Runwen go to the bedroom once, and when she appeared again, there were two letters and a money order in her hand.

Li Heng took it and looked, no surprise, the first letter was from reader Huang Zhaoyi, and he could recognize that beautiful handwriting at a glance.

The money order came from "Harvest" magazine in Shanghai.

The second letter was also from there, and the writer was editor Zou Ping.

Li Heng opened the second letter and browsed it quickly.

There were roughly three contents:

The first content is: the novel "The Trouble-Maker" has passed the review and will be published in the new issue on June 20.

The second content is very hot: because "To Live" is too popular, "Harvest" magazine has reprinted 1.1 million copies, which is an unprecedented event.

In addition, Zou Ping secretly told him: recently, many readers call and write to the editorial department every day, strongly requesting "Harvest" magazine to publish a single volume for "To Live," and they want to buy it for collection, gift-giving, and reading.

Zou Ping also said that this matter has attracted the high attention of the editor-in-chief Old Ba and Chief Editor Liao, and they are currently further collecting reader feedback and will make relevant discussions at the meeting next Monday.

Seeing this, Li Heng was excited!

Can he not be excited?

He almost hugged the English teacher next to him to celebrate. If he really publishes a single volume, it will involve royalties, that's all small money, and it will further improve his social status and popularity.

Who the hell doesn't want to?

Dreaming about it!

Seeing him suddenly in heat, the English teacher took a step back, her right foot raised, and only after he didn't take actual action did she slowly retract her foot.

She brushed her long hair and asked: "What happened that made you so excited?"

Li Heng didn't say anything, and stuffed the first page of the letter directly into her hand, letting her see it herself.

The third content in the letter was also good news: Shanghai Radio Station wanted to rebroadcast "To Live" and had already found the agency through relationships.

The magazine asked for his opinion. If he agreed to rebroadcast, he would receive a rebroadcast manuscript fee of 2500 yuan.

What proportion was 2500 yuan calculated by?

Li Heng, as a layman, didn't understand much, but this was not a small amount, and only a fool would refuse it.

After reading the letter, the English teacher showed a sincere smile, "Congratulations! I didn't expect you to reach this step in a blink of an eye."

Li Heng waved his hand proudly, "Still early, not yet successful, no rush to be happy."

The English teacher smiled and didn't make a sound, watching him return to the coffee table to make a phone call.

The call was to "Harvest" magazine.

As soon as it was connected, Li Heng said to editor Zou Ping: "Editor Zou, I received your letter, very happy, and also very grateful to you, I agree to the radio rebroadcast."

"Okay, Li Laoshi, I will further discuss this matter with Shanghai Radio Station, and will send the 2500 yuan manuscript fee to you by money order."

These are all businesses, and Zou Ping also has benefits. He also seemed very happy.

Li Heng nodded and said: "Okay, tell me when there is news about the single volume. I have something to do here today, so let's talk here, see you later."

"Eh, see you later, Li Laoshi." Zou Ping politely waited until the busy tone came from the receiver before putting it back.

The English teacher sighed: "Literati make money really fast, 4050 yuan before, and 2500 again, in less than half a year, your net worth has exceeded mine."

Li Heng laughed, couldn't help but show off, "If the single volume really succeeds, this is all drizzle."

Looking at this young face that was too young, Wang Runwen sighed again, "I suddenly feel that being a teacher is very boring, the salary is too low."

Li Heng hurriedly comforted her, "The end of the universe is the establishment. Many people want to be teachers but have no way. Teacher, you are a bit inflated.

My money is my money after all, and it won't run into your pocket. We still have to recognize the facts, don't cover your eyes."

Invisibly, he showed off again.

The English teacher's chest rose and fell several times, waved her hand irritably: "Get out! Get out quickly! I'm annoyed to see you."

It was the third time she scolded "Get out." Li Heng complained that her temper was really bad, no wonder she had a treasure mountain in front of her chest but no one came to dig.

Changed shoes, went out, and asked before leaving: "Teacher, did you encounter any difficulties? I see you even put out wine."

"Nothing, just want to drink." After the words fell, the English teacher kicked the door shut.

Inside and outside the door, it was suddenly separated by yin and yang.

Uh, look at my level. But separated by yin and yang, let's separate by yin and yang. Men belong to yang, women bring yin, it seems that it can barely be justified.

When he reached the corner of the stairwell on the second floor, he met the music teacher and the doctor, the latter still holding a birthday cake in his hand.

Suddenly meeting, the doctor asked him curiously: "Eh, Li Heng, why did you leave? Didn't Runwen call you to eat just now?"

Casting his gaze on the cake, Li Heng reacted a bit: "Is it the English teacher's birthday today?"

The music teacher interjected: "Yes, your English teacher's 28th birthday today, you didn't stay to eat, where are you going?"

So that's what happened, no wonder the dishes were so rich, no wonder the teacher called him to eat.

Just when he was struggling, the English teacher's voice suddenly came from upstairs again: "Li Heng, you have something to do, go first, I'll invite you to eat later."

Li Heng looked up: "Teacher, happy birthday!"

"Got it, get out." The bold voice came.

It's not like this, scolding "Get out" again, am I wronged?

Li Heng ran downstairs, out of the school gate, and soon found the dumpling wonton shop.

The shop was not big, only 5 old tung wood tables, and you could see the end at a glance.

Maybe it was because the students were on holiday, or maybe it was dinner time, there weren't many people inside, just Yang Yingwen and Xiao Han.

Xiao Han was sitting with her back to the door, and was lowering her head to put mountain pepper oil into the wonton.

Yang Yingwen, who was facing the door, saw him appear, and immediately said to Xiao Han: "I'm going to the restroom, I'll come later."

Xiao Han said hmm, and didn't raise her head.
