Chapter 86 notebook computers
At this moment, a cold and tired voice came from the other side of the phone, "Hello, who is it?"
Chu Xiaoman was actually a little embarrassed. After all, she didn't know Li Haitang very well. She adjusted her mind and replied, "Hello, Li Haitang, this is Chu Xiaoman."
"Elder sister Man?" Li Haitang had just sent off the Lin family father and son. After soaking her feet in hot water, she was about to go upstairs to rest when a call came. She really didn't expect it to be Chu Xiaoman.
"Yes, it's me. You haven't rested yet, have you? Did I disturb you?" Chu Xiaoman looked at his watch. It was almost nine o' clock.
Li Haitang casually took a stool and sat down with a worried voice. "Elder sister Man, I haven't rested yet. You called me. Is it Instructor jiang?"
"No, Brother Four is fine. He's drinking tea next to him. I called you because I wanted to ask you a favor." Chu Xiaoman playfully smiled at Jiang Chuheng not far away.
"Oh, elder sister Man, say it." It was obvious from the phone that Li Haitang was relieved.
Chu Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth under the bright eyes of the two children. "Well, the last time I went to the newspaper with you, I was very touched. When I came back, I chased after your novel and read it once. I also wanted to try writing a novel. I've written the beginning and outline of the story, and I would like you to help me reference it and make some suggestions."
"Really? What kind of novel are you writing?" When Li Haitang heard about this, she was in a good mood. She had brought a colleague with her.
"I wrote a story about a university campus."
Li Haitang's eyes lit up and his voice was filled with a deep smile. "Elder sister Man, this subject is good and very attractive. Read me the outline of the story and the beginning of the text first. I'll help you read it."
"Okay." Chu Xiaoman adjusted his mood and started reading the script.
Jiang Chuheng, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, looked very happy and smiled, "If I had known that xiao man was interested in this, I should have let her and haitang know each other earlier."
"It's not too late." Jiang chuke smiled. It was already good to stop running with the sun sisters all the time. Now he finally found something he was interested in and believed that she would change a lot in the future.
After Chu Xiaoman finished reading the outline and the manuscript, Li Haitang gave her some suggestions and highlighted the wonderful parts. She also pointed out the places that could be modified and expressed them in different ways so that she could compare and summarize them by herself.
"Yes, that's better." While chatting, chu xiaoman quickly recorded it with a pen.
The two of them talked for nearly half an hour, and Li Haitang's hands were a little sore holding the microphone. She rubbed her arms and continued, "Elder sister Man, your story as a whole is pretty good, but I'll give you some more advice."
"Well, say it." Chu Xiaoman turned the page again, intending to write it down seriously.
"In our time, people and students all over the country are particularly interested in the sacred university and the life in it. This novel of yours is a school spirit. I suggest that you write more stories about what happens on a real college campus, so that the whole novel can be closer to real life, so that readers can experience real college life psychologically with your article.
Your family and friends are all college students. You can learn more about the story from them. Maybe you can get in touch with your University of posts and telecommunications alumni more, record their daily lives, pick some meaningful or interesting examples to use in this article, and polish them up with your exquisite pen. Your novel will definitely pass the review perfectly. "
Chu Xiaoman's writing style is very good, fresh and exquisite, the wording is very beautiful, she is very suitable to write such a style of novel.
"Yes, I see. Thank you." Chu Xiaoman was very grateful for her suggestion and quickly wrote it down on the paper.
Elder sister Man, you're welcome. Well, you can write 30,000 words in this period of time, and I'll help you look at it after you meet the requirements for submission."
Chu Xiaoman was delighted, "Okay, thank you."
"I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow to prepare for the new year. I'm only going back to my hometown for a few days a year. There's no phone at home. I can't communicate with you all the time. You write first. I'll call you at 7: 00 pm on the fifth day of the first month of the new year, okay?"
Chu Xiaoman smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you so much."
"Don't be so polite. Heh heh, actually, Instructor jiang's writing is also very good. You can find time to ask him to give you some pointers." Li Haitang did not think that he was deliberately looking for trouble for Jiang Chuheng.
"Yes, okay." Chu Xiaoman's eyes sparkled as he looked at Brother Four, who was smiling on the sofa.
After the conversation, Li Haitang was ready to hang up. "Well, I wish you and your aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters-in-law, and chu heng a happy new year, a happy family, and a happy and healthy family in advance."
"Thank you, and I wish you a happy new year. The whole family... Has a successful academic career." Chu Xiaoman suddenly remembered something when he said the last sentence and immediately changed his tune.
"Thank you, elder sister Man. Goodbye!" Li Haitang smiled and hung up.
"Wait a minute, haitang. Don't hang up." Jiang chuheng shouted at the phone.
"Ah?" Li Haitang, who was about to hang up, heard this voice and was stunned for a moment. When he realized it, he mumbled a little speechless, "Uh, elder sister Man, you turned on the speakerphone."
"Uh, yes, our two little friends said they were going to study writing." Chu Xiaoman explained awkwardly.
Jiang Chuheng walked over, picked up Jiang Zicong and put him on his lap. He said to the phone, "Haitang, I have something to tell you."
"Chu heng, what's the matter?"
"I asked my sister to bring back a laptop from abroad. It's a new year's gift from the three of us. Do you think it's for you to mail it or should I send it to you after school starts?" Jiang Chuheng was thinking about her expression.
The expression on Li Haitang's face was really exaggerated. Her eyes were almost popping out. She was silent for a long time. "Chu heng, how much did the laptop cost?"
"Why are you asking this?" Jiang Chuheng asked.
Li Haitang sat up straight and said seriously, "I'll give you the money. I was joking about waiting for your new year's gift, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive. I can't take it for nothing. I'll buy it with you."
"Haitang..."
In this matter, Li Haitang insisted on his principles of life. "Chu heng, if you give me a beautiful notebook or a book, I will gladly accept it without any burden. Although I like this computer very much and it's also the writing tool I need, I won't take it for granted. I appreciate your kindness."
Jiang Chuheng had a headache. He had guessed before that she might not accept it, but now that it had come true, he had to take a step back and say, "I'll tell them tomorrow. The computer is for you. As for the new year's gift, I'll change it."
"Okay. Hey, my two stores have a monthly income of just fifteen thousand yuan. I just got the money today. I haven't covered the heat yet. If I lose it again, I guess it's not enough to buy this computer. I'll have to pay a huge debt for the new year. The three of you are really unkind. You squeezed me so hard that my chest pressed against my back." Li Haitang was particularly resentful at the moment, and it was true that he had earned a lot and spent a lot.
"Hehe, you can pay for the computer later. You can go back to your hometown for a good new year." Jiang Chuheng felt a little guilty. They had added to her burden for no reason.
"There's still a lot of money in the grocery factory back home, so we should be able to scrape together enough money to buy this computer. Tell me the price. I'll transfer the money to you before the new year." When Li Haitang thought of owing someone money, he felt uncomfortable and just wanted to pay it back quickly.
Jiang Chuheng gave a wry laugh and looked at his sister who was gloating with laughter. "Sister, how much is it?"
"Four thousand five hundred dollars, seventeen thousand yuan."
Li Haitang heard it and raised his voice, "Ah, why is it so cheap?"
Cheap? The veins on the jiang family's forehead popped out, and they were all poor.
Jiang Chuqi smiled and answered her loudly, "I bought it through an acquaintance and gave it the cheapest price, which I can't buy at ordinary times."
"Uh, thank you, sister The jiang family." Li Haitang thanked him generously and then said happily, "Haha, chu heng, I happen to have 17,500 yuan in my hand. After buying this computer, I still have 500 yuan to go home for the new year."
Jiang Chuheng: ... "Ahem, okay, I'll send you the computer when school starts."
"Okay, thank you. I'll hang up then. Bye." Li Haitang thought about having a computer, and her heart was bubbling with beauty. She wanted to go to the warm bed and have fun soon.
"Goodbye!"
The jiang family listened attentively to their conversation. When Li Haitang hung up, Xie Fangfei raised his eyebrows slightly. "This student is really extraordinary. He has a strong ability to express himself. He speaks politely and has a good character. He doesn't look like a child from the countryside. Ordinary people would have been overjoyed to hear such an expensive gift. How could they be so determined to pay for it themselves?"
Chu Xiaoman came over with a notebook and added, "The last time Brother Four took me shopping, he said he would buy her a nice dress too. She insisted. When buying things, you don't have to spend a penny on Brother Four, you have to pay for it yourself. Even when we usually eat together, she has to give us her share, which is called the aa system."
Jiang Chuqi smiled, "Hehe, no wonder chu heng, who never liked to play with girls in our family, can talk to her. He is more interesting than many girls."
Chu Hongmei's eyes flashed, suppressing the complexity in his heart. He pulled little man's arm and said in a gentle and loving voice, "Little man, since you are interested in this writing, write well. If you need any advice, ask this girl or you, Brother Four."
"Okay." Chu Xiaoman nodded obediently.
Jiang chuke said, "Xiao man, that little writer was right. You should go to school and find more stories to enrich the content of the novel. If you communicate with more people, you might get some inspiration from it. The outline of the second book will be ready soon."
"Yes, I understand." Chu Xiaoman already had a general goal in mind.
It was late, and after a few more words, Jiang Chuyan and jiang chukejiang's family went home together. The two of them moved out after they got married. The apartment was not far from the courtyard and it only took them ten minutes to drive.
The others returned to their rooms to rest as soon as they left.
