Song Qin said, "After being busy for so many days, we can finally take a break."
Lin Yuyao nodded and then looked at the briefing on the table.
She has already started planning the second phase.
Although it's called a monthly publication, it can't be published every month at the beginning.
Generally speaking, you need to see the sales figures for the first issue to decide whether or not to switch publications.
Seeing Lin Yuyao looking worried, Song Qin said to her, "Don't worry, our magazine will definitely sell like hotcakes. Let's get the second issue ready too."
"Yes."
How's your novel coming along?
"The novel is fine; I've written a lot of it."
"How about including more novel content in the next issue?"
Lin Yuyao shook her head, "No, it won't work. Each installment can only contain a little over 10,000 words, no more than that, otherwise half the book will be a serialized novel."
Song Qin frowned and said, "Monthly publications are too slow. Look at the famous writers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, they serialize their works directly in newspapers, with hundreds or even thousands of words every day. They wait a month to get just over ten thousand words, which is too little."
“It’s okay, I can’t compare to famous writers.”
"You're so prolific, I'm worried it might slow you down. For a talented writer, maintaining a daily update schedule is a way to preserve that spark. Taking too long off will affect your inspiration, don't you think?"
Lin Yuyao nodded in agreement.
"Have you ever thought about writing two books at the same time?" Song Qin asked.
Lin Yuyao knew what she meant and said, "It's not impossible, but we don't have enough staff at our magazine right now, and I don't have that much energy."
"That's true. How about this, you keep writing it like this, but we also need to recruit people as soon as possible."
"Row."
Lin Ping listened to their conversation, unable to join in, and felt very envious.
His sister's changes also shocked him; it felt like her, yet not quite.
Or perhaps... it's because my older sister is growing up too fast?
They were fishing together just two summers ago, and in just two short years, she's become a professional woman.
Sigh! Getting married makes you grow up faster.
"Sis, I'm going back to school."
"Oh, there are still a few days left."
"There are still three days left. I can only stay for two more days at most. I need to go a day earlier."
Lin Yuyao nodded, "Okay, I'll take you to school then."
"What about the wages?"
Lin Yuyao: “…”
She took out the key hanging around her neck, opened the safe under the table, and took out eighty dollars.
"Here you go, this is your salary."
Lin Ping accepted it with a broad smile.
During this month, his sister also gave him pocket money so he could buy food when he was hungry and water when he was thirsty.
But after all, it was given to me by her.
But this money is different; he earned it through his own labor.
He cleaned their toilets for a month.
"Is this none of my business?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to call my parents."
"Go ahead and call, the phone is right here."
That's different; they're all here, so he can't say anything.
"I need to make the call from the phone booth downstairs."
Lin Yuyao: "What? Is there something you can't let me hear?"
"Yes, I was talking to my parents about some private matters."
"Then you can pay to get it done."
"Okay, I'll be going now."
Song Qin said, "Your younger brother is quite lively."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "He was quite naughty when he was a child, but he's much better now."
Mischievousness turned into liveliness.
"Your brother is two years younger than you?"
"almost."
"Oh, that's not small either. It looks about the same age as Luo Yanni."
"Boys are indeed more mentally mature than girls."
Lin Yuyao thought to herself, he was the youngest in the family, and his parents, older brothers and sisters would take care of everything for him. He had nothing to worry about, so how could he not seem young?
……
Lin Ping called home, firstly to tell his parents that he was going back to school.
Secondly, it's for showing off.
Of course, he mainly went there to show off.
Because he didn't go home for summer vacation, he told his family that he had found a summer job outside.
Lin Yuyao didn't tell her family that she was starting a business, so Lin Ping naturally couldn't tell them that he was working a summer job at his sister's place.
So Ye Lian assumed he was looking for someone outside.
At first, when I heard that he would only earn 80 yuan a month, I was worried that he was being scammed.
She told him that if he was going to do something, he should do it properly in the city, and not get on the bus or go to the suburbs, because she was worried that her youngest son would be taken to an illegal coal mine.
In her mind, eighty-one months, and she was only working for one month? How could there be such a good deal?
However, that is the truth.
Lin Ping said smugly, "The boss knew I was about to start school, so he settled my wages in advance. Eighty yuan, not a penny less."
Did he actually get eighty yuan?
Ye Lian: "You're not bragging, are you?"
Lin Ping pouted, "Mom, how can you talk like that? I make money and you're not happy, you even suspect I'm bragging. Tell me, what good does it do me to brag?"
"What's the point of bragging? You just want me to praise you for being capable."
"Fine, don't praise me if you don't want to. Anyway, I've already made eighty yuan."
"Okay, okay, you've hit the jackpot. I'll believe you if you send me forty yuan."
Lin Ping: "..."
"I told you but you didn't believe me. Fine, I'll send you forty yuan in a bit. Just wait."
"Okay, I'll wait."
He actually sent forty yuan.
Ye Lian didn't take it to heart.
After hanging up, she called Lin Yuyao.
"Yuyao, Lin Ping just called me and said he got his wages. Did you know about this?"
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"Yes, I got it."
"You really got eighty yuan?"
This kid, he already said it, he's really quick to speak.
"Yes, it's eighty yuan."
"you saw it?"
Lin Yuyao: "..." What am I doing?
"Yes, I saw it."
"Wow, he's really doing well. Yuyao, what kind of summer job is he doing? They pay eighty yuan a month?"
This……
Can she tell her that Lin Ping cleans the toilet at her place every day?
Lin Ping is such a proud person, it would be too immoral for her to betray him.
“Mom, Nancheng is developing rapidly; it’s a big city, so the wages here are quite good. You think eighty is a lot because it’s hard to earn eighty a month in our village. But in Nancheng, eighty isn’t much.”
"Is that right?"
"Yes."
Ye Lian thought to herself that her eldest son had found a job at a steel factory, working himself to the bone for only sixty-odd yuan a month.
Eighty-one months for a summer job, that's quite a lot.
She remembered what her daughter had mentioned before, about her brother and sister-in-law going to work in Nancheng.
The salary there is high, but... Nancheng is so far away, and I can only go home once a year. The transportation costs alone are very expensive.
Moreover, they have nowhere to live and have to rent a place.
It doesn't feel like a good deal.
Forget it, let's talk about this in a few years.
"Mother, how is my sister-in-law now?"
"Much better, I'm not vomiting as much anymore."
"That's good. Give her plenty of nourishment so that the baby will be healthy when it's born."
"Yes, don't worry, I know. The chickens and ducks your dad raised, which you didn't need for your wedding, are now being used to nourish your sister-in-law."
Lin Yuyao felt a warm glow in her heart as she listened to the phone call.
Great.
The older brother is fine, and the older sister-in-law is also doing well, instead of being forced by her family to have an abortion and marry far away.
Lin Ping also got into military school as he wished.
Their family will get better and better.
