Chapter 147 The Pei family opens a supermarket
Soon, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong spent three years of junior high school peacefully.
On the first day of the new year, Pei Tiantian officially finished the novel she had been writing for several years, and put the rest of the content into the second volume. With the help of Xing Weigang, she published it again in a publishing house and made a lot of money. .
The copyright of his comics was also authorized to He Zhixing, also known as Bao Baobai, as usual.
He Zhixing has become an instant celebrity with the release of his famous work "The Abyss".
This has also allowed the sales of comics drawn by Pei Tiantian to set new records in recent months, and even boosted the sales of physical books of the novel.
He Zhixing has had intermittent correspondence with Pei Tiantian over the years because of the contract Pei Tiantian signed with him.
He Zhixing always thought that the unknown writer he was collaborating with was named Pei Zhiwen.
So when a comic reader wrote to ask how his relationship with Anonymous was, He Zhixing replied, "We have been friends for many years."
After these words came out, it instantly caused countless people to speculate about the identities of Bao Baobai and Anonymous Doe. They have been friends for many years, which means that there is a big age gap between Bao Baobai and Anonymous Doe.
But as we all know, although Bao Bao Bai has never shown his face, he is only in his twenties and is a talented young cartoonist.
Then the so-called older person in the friendship refers to the nameless person. It seems that the nameless person should be an older person.
Pei Tiantian no longer worries that her vest will fall off.
Because it was passed around, everyone finally agreed that the nameless man was an old man.
Although they were also surprised that the old man was so open-minded, there are all kinds of wonders in this world, so they gradually got used to it.
Pei Tiantian really felt that her novel was finally starting to become popular when she discovered a pirated copy of the physical book of her novel and a pirated comic book at a small stall in front of the No. 1 Lieutenant Colonel.
Pei Tiantian's mood is quite complicated, and the stall owner even asked Pei Tiantian to buy this book. He paid five yuan to take two copies away, saying that young children nowadays like to read it.
Pei Tiantian shook her head and left.
People of this era have relatively weak awareness of copyright, especially in small cities like Jade City. It is actually normal for everyone to see such pirated printed materials.
Although Pei Tiantian really wants to use legal weapons to protect her rights and get all pirated books removed from the shelves, she also knows that it is impossible.
The current market is not perfect enough. If she really wanted to sue the bosses who sold pirated copies, she would not be able to finish the lawsuit, and the cost would be too high.
Only when more complete laws and regulations are introduced, these pirated books will gradually disappear.
When he was in the second grade of junior high school, Pei Tiantian used part of her savings to let the Pei family open a small supermarket in the city, thus solving the problem of Pei Zhiqiang not having a job.
Pei Tiantian thought that as long as Pei Zhiqiang did not work in the fields, the situation of being trampled and broken by a mad cow like in the original novel would never happen again. In this way, Pei Zhiqiang could completely avoid the tragedy in his life.
After having a small supermarket, the Pei family moved into the city one after another.
Pei Zhiqiang also started to manage his own small supermarket together with Wang Ruizhen. The items in the small supermarket were all up-to-date and the prices were affordable. In this way, the business became better and better, and the income became higher and higher.
The house in Mingmen Community originally had an area of more than 130 square meters. It was very spacious when Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong and their children lived there. However, when all the Pei family members gathered in this house, they suddenly felt that the space was too big. Not enough anymore.
Comparing the space with the two-story house in the countryside, I found that it is indeed quite difficult to stretch out the legs.
Three bedrooms plus a study room are equivalent to four living places, but Wang Ruizhen has one room alone, Pei Zhiwen Zhou Wanhong has one room, Pei Zhiqiang Wan Cuilan has one room, Pei Tianyu and Pei Zihao have one room, and Pei Tiantian has one room He and Gu Rong were alone.
No matter what, the Pei family could not let these two children sleep on the floor, so Pei Tiantian slept on the same bed with Wang Ruizhen, while Pei Zihao, Pei Tianyu, and Gu Rong crowded into the same bed.
Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu are both over 1.78 meters tall, and Gu Rong is also 1.65 meters tall.
So it’s easy to imagine how uncomfortable it would be for three men, who are about the size of an adult, to squeeze into one bed.
Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu complain of backache every morning when they wake up, and they roll out of bed from time to time in the middle of the night.
Although Gu Rong never complained about anything, his eyes were a little blue, indicating that he didn't sleep well at all.
Wang Ruizhen saw it in her eyes and was very anxious. The three children were all in the critical period of the second grade of junior high school, so this was not something to be careless about.
At this time, if children's studies are delayed due to poor rest and their grades decline, it will be more than worth the gain.
So Wang Ruizhen thought, it just so happened that the small supermarket had made a lot of money these days. If the money from the sale of this house was added to it, she could definitely change to a bigger house.
Pei Zhiqiang also had this idea, but as soon as he said it, he was rejected by Pei Tiantian.
There is no other reason. This house in Mingmen Community has a huge room for appreciation in the future.
Because this is a school district house and is located near No. 1 Middle School, this means that children who live here can enjoy good educational resources. Moreover, the transportation routes in this area are very developed and it is very convenient to catch a car, so this house cannot be sold no matter what.
Pei Tiantian suggested that if it is really too crowded for a family to live together, some people can go out to rent a house first.
Pei Tiantian's idea was known to Ma Xiangdong. He shook his head in disapproval: "Why do you have to make it so troublesome? What kind of house should I rent? Just let Tiantian and Gu Rong come to live in my house. Anyway, my house is Isn’t it convenient to be next door to you?”
When the Pei family heard this, their first reaction was to be embarrassed, but Ma Xiangdong was very capable. He gave the keys to his house to Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong.
“Teacher Ma, you gave us two keys, but what about you and your wife?”
Pei Tiantian was a little surprised as she held the keys in her hand. There are only three keys for a house, so wouldn't Ma Xiangdong just give her and Gu Rong one? Why were two keys given? Then Ma Xiangdong and his wife would only have one key for two people. How inconvenient this would be!
Ma Xiangdong smiled: "We can just keep one key, because we won't need it soon, so you can live in peace."
Hearing this, Pei Tiantian was heartbroken and quickly asked Teacher Ma: "Teacher Ma, what do you mean by this? Why is it useless? Do you want to move?"
