Chapter 143 Let’s buy a big house in the city
Of course the more excited ones are Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu.
One day they finally became other people's children, and they didn't attract the attention of the villagers because they were naughty and mischievous!
During the last summer vacation of her elementary school career, Pei Tiantian finally received a sample book of her novel from Xing Weigang.
Pei Tiantian held this sample book in her hands, feeling filled with emotion. The wait was finally here.
She is also the one who can publish physical books. Although the copyright of this book legally belongs to Pei Zhiwen, after all, she asked Pei Zhiwen to sign various contracts on her behalf.
Pei Tiantian doesn’t care, as long as she can make money.
Moreover, Xing Weigang also negotiated with the publishing house for her. Originally, as a new writer, she could only get a 6% royalty rate. However, with Xing Weigang's efforts, the royalty rate was increased from 6% to 8%, which means that she can get a share of More pennies.
Of course, the specific income will be linked to the sales volume of the books.
When Pei Tiantian sent the manuscript for the new issue, she wrote the good news at the end to tell readers. After finishing writing, Pei Tiantian frowned.
She was a little worried. Will anyone buy the first printing of her novel?
After all, the content of this novel has been serialized in a magazine before. The readers who wrote this novel should have read the corresponding content.
Moreover, street stall literature like "Collection of Stories" only costs a few yuan a copy, but Pei Tiantian's book is priced at fifteen yuan a book, and it's not a famous book. Will anyone really buy it?
Facts have proved that Pei Tiantian's worries were unnecessary. The publishing house only printed a thousand copies in the first printing and put them out for sale. Unexpectedly, they were all sold out soon, so a new round of printing was started. This time, 5,000 copies.
What the publisher didn’t expect was that this printing took less than three days and was sold out again, so another urgent printing was started.
Pei Tiantian was shocked when she heard the news. Wow, is her novel really so profitable?
Pei Tiantian quickly told the Pei family the good news and shared her joy with them.
Wang Ruizhen said proudly: "This proves that the novels written by our Tiantian family are really good!"
Gu Rong actually didn't understand why Pei Tiantian was afraid that no one would buy her novels. Every month when Pei Tiantian received letters from readers of her novels, Pei Zhiwen would bring her a large box from the post office. This shows that her novels have always been A group of regular readers, so no matter what, people will buy her physical books.
This time the book was printed for three rounds and all sold out. Pei Tiantian also made more than 30,000 yuan.
Since the name written on the contract was Pei Zhiwen, the 30,000 yuan was credited to Pei Zhiwen’s card.
When Pei Zhiwen discovered that there was an extra 30,000 yuan on his card, he thought someone had made a mistake. However, Pei Tiantian told him that this was the money she earned after publishing her novel.
Pei Zhiwen was shocked
He really didn’t expect that Pei Tiantian’s book could make so much money. It had only been published for a few years and it had already made tens of thousands.
Pei Tiantian said: "Uncle, let me put this money with you first. From now on, the reward for the novel will also be put into this card."
Pei Zhiwen nodded and planned to keep the money specifically for Pei Tiantian. When Pei Tiantian becomes an adult and can apply for a card, the money will be returned to her.
As the school year approaches, Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu are particularly anxious. They have not been to the city a few times, and going to the city this time to study in junior high school is not much different from going to another place to study, so they feel very panicked.
And they always feel that they have a lot of luck in passing the 18th Middle School. What if they get into the 18th middle school and end up last in the exam like before?
Seeing that his two cousins were very anxious, Pei Tiantian was very relieved. At least now they would also worry about their grades, unlike before where they were used to being last in the exams so many times.
Pei Tiantian comforted: "First cousin, second cousin, you don't have to worry. Your grades were obtained by yourself. This is your true strength. And even if you go to junior high school and don't leave, you still have me." Brother Gu Rong? As long as we are here, your grades will only go up."
Hearing Pei Tiantian's words, Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu were finally comforted.
However, both of them felt that as an older brother, it was really worthless for them to have their sister comfort them like this.
And after reaching junior high school, there are more subjects. Unlike primary school, which only has Chinese and mathematics. If Pei Tiantian tutors them in every subject like before, the task will be arduous.
They can't always cause trouble for their sister. Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu thought about taking advantage of this summer vacation to preview the first grade textbooks in advance, so that they would at least have a foundation when they go to school.
The two of them thought about it for a while and told the Pei family about their plans.
At this time, the Pei family were shocked.
They all saw how Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu passed the No. 18 Middle School. It was because Pei Tiantian pushed them to study hard every day under Pei Tiantian's intense pressure that they finally passed the exam. .
Originally, I thought that Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu would be resistant to learning, but they didn't expect that school would not start for more than a month, and Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu actually wanted to preview the textbooks in advance!
Pei Zhiqiang stood at the door and subconsciously looked out at the bright weather outside.
The sun has not come out in the west. The two children have really changed.
The Pei family was naturally happy that Pei Tianyu and Pei Zihao had such self-awareness. The Pei family went to the village to help borrow other people's children's first semester textbooks and gave them to Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu so that they could study hard.
Pei Tiantian secretly stood at the door of Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu's house, watching the two of them sitting on the table, reading books in a formal manner.
I couldn’t be more happy.
This can be regarded as a fundamental change in the root cause of Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu's unwillingness to learn independently.
Pei Tiantian is actually relieved. If Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu keep up this momentum, at least they won't be unable to follow them in junior high school.
At this moment, Wan Cuilan suddenly asked a question: "Since several of the children in the family will be studying in the city in the future, how about just letting them stay in school to study?"
Pei Zhiqiang: "That's for sure. Nowadays, junior high schools have evening self-study classes, so they can only study in dormitories."
Pei Zhiwen nodded, that's what he planned.
It is also good for the children at home to live and study with me during the week and come back on weekends.
Wang Ruizhen frowned and said, "Zihao, Tianyu, and Gu Rong are all boys, so it's okay to live and study in school, but Tiantian is still young and has just turned eight after school started. At such a young age, let her I don’t feel at ease living and studying alone.”
Zhou Wanhong also thought of this.
Zhou Wanhong knew how much Wang Ruizhen felt sorry for Pei Tiantian, so she said, "Let's first ask them if they are willing and listen to their own ideas!"
So Pei Zhiwen told the four children that he planned to send them all to school for accommodation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this matter was mentioned, several children would object one after another.
Pei Tiantian is reluctant because she doesn’t really want to live in a collective life in the school dormitory. If she is unlucky and encounters a few roommates who don’t get along well, wouldn’t it add trouble to her life?
Gu Rong was not willing to live in the dormitory, which would mean that he would be separated from Pei Tiantian.
Pei Tiantian always likes to sleep under the quilt at night. If he hadn't been there to watch over her, Pei Tiantian would have caught countless colds, so Gu Rong didn't want to leave Pei Tiantian.
Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu are even more unwilling.
The two brothers have been sleeping in the same bed and are used to it. How uncomfortable it would be if the two of them were not assigned to the same dormitory when they arrived at school.
After the children finished speaking, the rest of the Pei family were stunned.
I have to say that what the children thought was quite reasonable, and they were unable to refute it.
Pei Tiantian said: "We don't need to separate. We can just find a house near the school, close to No. 18 Middle School and No. 1 Middle School. Then I have four people, my first cousin, my second cousin, and my brother Gu Rong." If we all live in it, wouldn’t it be nice if we come back on the weekend?”
Pei Zihao nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice: "I don't feel comfortable leaving my sister alone in school."
Like a little adult, Pei Zihao patted his chest and said: "From now on, let me, Tianyu and Gu Rong, take turns sleeping with my sister. Cover her with a quilt when it's cold in winter, and fan her when it's hot in summer. Absolutely not It will make her feel a little wronged!”
Pei Tianyu said: "Yes."
When Gu Rong heard this, he frowned silently and unconsciously lowered the corners of his mouth.
Where are so many people needed?
He can take good care of Pei Tiantian by himself.
The mood that I was originally happy about being able to rent a house near the school with Pei Tiantian also faded away at this time.
Pei Tiantian didn't know what Gu Rong was thinking. When she heard this, she only felt her brothers' love for her.
No one doesn’t like the feeling of being held in the palm of your hand. She is no exception.
Pei Tiantian rolled her eyes: "Thank you, first cousin and second cousin. No need to trouble you. You should just focus on your studies. Brother Gu Rong is enough for me. He takes care of me on weekdays. I'm used to it." La."
Gu Rong's mood became subtly happy, and he quietly curved the corners of his mouth.
“Then just do as Tiantian said and rent a house outside for the four children.”
Wang Ruizhen is not someone who is reluctant to spend money. Since the children at home are not willing to live in dormitories, they should rent a house.
“Zhiwen, Zhiqiang, I’ll leave the renting matter to you.”
Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang were about to nod, but were interrupted by a voice: "Hey, we don't want to rent a house, let's just buy one!"
These words were said with great pride. Pei Tiantian blinked her grape eyes and looked at the Pei family who were speechless for a moment.
Wang Ruizhen looked at Pei Tiantian with a complicated expression: "Tiantian, do you know how expensive the house prices in the city are? It's seven to eight hundred per square meter. We have spent all the money in our hands, so we can only buy A small house is not enough for you four children. "
The smile on Pei Tiantian's face remained unchanged, "Nai, to be honest with you, I also have some money here now. I can take out all my money, and then everyone can pool it together. I will definitely be able to buy one." A big house!”
With that said, Pei Tiantian walked on her short legs and pretended to go to the room to take out the money. In fact, she took out the tin box containing the money in her own space.
Pei Tiantian came to the front of everyone holding the heavy tin box in her two little fleshy hands, and then opened the lid.
At that moment, everyone in the Pei family looked at the tin box.
Pei Tiantian’s tin box contained several stacks of thick blue four-person bills, which looked like tens of thousands at a glance.
“Tiantian, where did you get so much money?” Wang Ruizhen’s first reaction was: Did Pei Tiantian pick up the money somewhere?
If this is money found, the owner will be very anxious.
Wan Cuilan said: "This is the money Tiantian earns from publishing novels."
"No, I keep all the money here." Pei Zhiwen was also a little confused.
Pei Tiantian calmly put the tin box on the table, and then said to everyone: "There is 40,000 yuan in it, which I saved myself! Most of the money in it came from the restaurant that Uncle Xie gave me Dividends.”
"Dividends? Why does Xie Jiagui give you dividends?"
Pei Tiantian told the Pei family about the money she had previously loaned to Xie Jiagui for turnover.
She also said that now she will receive 10% profit dividend every month.
Hearing this, Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan were really surprised.
They worked in Xie Jiagui's restaurant and really felt how good the business there was, with daily turnover of thousands of yuan.
Xie Jiagui has been working in the city for just over a year, and now he has bought several houses and even a car.
This shows that the imperial dining room really makes money.
Now Pei Tiantian tells them that if they don’t do anything, they can get 10% of the profit from the Imperial Kitchen Room every month.
This is too...
Pei Tiantian said: "With the money I have here, plus the money I have in Dabakar, we can buy a big house in the city, and then our family will move to the city." , is that good?”
What Pei Tiantian thought was that if all the Pei family took this opportunity to move to the city, then later in the novel, Pei Zhiqiang's leg would not have been broken by a mad cow in the village.
This is simply killing two birds with one stone.
However, Pei Zhiqiang disagreed: "If we move to the city, who will farm the land at home?"
Pei Zhiqiang sighed: "Although I don't make any money from farming, I can at least get some income. I don't have any education, so I don't know what kind of job I can do in the city."
Pei Zhiqiang is still frightened by the fact that he almost lost his money investing in real estate before. He dare not touch it again. Although farming is a bit poor, God will provide food for them as long as the land lasts.
Hearing Pei Zhiqiang’s words, Pei Tiantian also understood Pei Zhiqiang’s worries. He was afraid that he would not be able to find a job in the city.
