Chapter 16： New issue

On April 15, a new issue of "Fun Children" and "Sunshine Children" was released.

Although the two magazines still publish on the same day, their respective circumstances have long been very different.

right now.

The distribution scope of "Sunshine Children" has covered most areas of the country.

The circulation has exceeded 800,000 copies.

On the contrary, the distribution scope of "Fun Children" has been reduced from the entire southwestern region to the provincial capital and a small part of the surrounding cities.

The circulation is less than 20,000.

But even so, neither of the two magazines had any plans to change the release date.

Quite a bit of desperation to the end.

If there are no accidents, maybe one party is really going to die.

…

Early in the morning, bookstores and newsstand owners opened their doors one after another.

Today is the publication date of several magazines, and business is generally good.

Some readers have even waited outside, just waiting to open the door to buy.

"Well, "Fun Children", what a good magazine that used to sell, is now becoming less and less able to sell."

A newsstand owner sighed.

He was able to sell hundreds of copies of "Fun Children" in one issue. Now if you buy thirty or fifty copies in the first issue, you may not be able to sell out.

However, he still put "Fun Children" in a prominent position.

After all, it is a magazine that has been sold for so many years, and he also has feelings.

There are many people with this kind of thinking in the entire provincial capital and surrounding areas.

Even if "Fun Kids" is not selling well now, they will buy in every issue.

They look forward to one day when "Fun Children" can return to its previous best-selling time.

…

"Boss, is "Sunshine Children" here? My son likes the story the most. He urged me to buy it early in the morning.

In front of a newsstand. Said a man with glasses in his 30s.

"Hey, here it is, here you are. "Fun Children" is also here, would you like to have a copy too?" the boss did not forget to promote it.

The spectacle man hesitated for a moment and refused, "Forget it, boss. Now the story of "Fun Children" is not so good."

The boss shook his head regretfully.

In the past, "Fun Children" were all customers rushing to buy. Where is it like now, selling to people, and people don't buy it.

"Hey, Xiao Li, I'm here to buy magazines for my son again."

In front of another newsstand. A middle-aged man about 40 years old said to a man about 30 years old.

"Oh. It's Brother Qi. I bought it myself. I kind of like to read these children's magazines. Of course, I will also tell my son the stories in them. What magazines do you buy?"

The middle-aged man raised up the magazine in his hand and said, "Sunshine Children bought a copy like Fun Kids. You said that my son is in junior high school, and he still thinks about reading these magazines all day long. I don’t know if there are any. What a good-looking one."

"Isn't "Fun Children" not working anymore, why do you still buy it?" asked the 30-year-old man.

"Hey, I have bought it for a few years, and I am used to it. I will just watch it."

…

Lin Fei is an old reader of "Fun Children".

Today, he came to the newsstand and bought a copy of "Fun Children" habitually.

Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Hey, Lin Fei, why did you still buy "Fun Children"? The story in it has long gone. You should buy "Sunshine Children", the story in it is much more exciting."

The speaker is Lin Fei's neighbor.

The two are about the same age, and the children are about the same age, ten or so years old.

"Oh, it's Li Lin. I'm used to buying. I think it's okay." Lin Fei replied.

"Look at you, it's too nostalgic. Let's do it, I have finished reading this "Sunshine Children" and I will lend it to you. Now it is really better than "Fun Children".

"Oh, all right." Lin Fei agreed.

When he returned home, Lin Fei looked at "Fun Children" in his hand with complicated eyes.

In fact, he knew in his heart that the quality of "Fun Children" has been inferior to one issue this year.

Tell the story inside to my son, and the son is not very interested. Instead, he clamored to listen to the stories in "Sunshine Children".

"I hope there will be one or two good stories in this issue."

Thinking of this, Lin Fei opened the magazine casually.

"Sure enough, it's still the same."

Lin Fei has already turned over the previous 10 stories, and none of them can attract him.

"Is it so difficult that I should really watch "Sunshine Children"?"

Lin Fei also heard some stories from "Sunshine Children" from friends.

Many of the stories in it are really good.

Especially the stories written by Yang Jie, known as the "Little Fairy Tale King", are wonderful.

"Let’s buy "Sunshine Children" next issue."

Lin Fei sighed, he was a little bit sad.

What is unwilling to give up is the feelings I have seen for so many years.

But there is no way, what should be discarded is to be discarded after all.

"There are the last few stories, read them through."

Turning to the last few stories, Lin Fei did not read them for a long time.

Because I have finished reading these articles, I will say goodbye to "Fun Children".

"Hey, "The Crow Drinks Water", does it say that the crow drinks water? What's the point of that."

Lin Fei didn't want to rush to read it, but accidentally glanced at the title.

I felt a little unhappy.

What are the interesting editors doing now, and all the messy stories are published on it.

Can be very fast.

Lin Fei couldn't help but let out a "Huh" again, and the eyes that were originally a little distracted suddenly focused.

"This story is interesting."

The story is simple. It is about a thirsty crow who saw water in a bottle but couldn't drink it. So he threw the pebbles into the bottle to raise the water level so that he could drink the water.

"It's really interesting. The story is simple, but the reason is not simple!"

Seeing this, Lin Fei couldn't help laughing, "Haha, finally there is a good story. And this story is also very suitable for telling his son. There are a few more later, let me read it again."

He couldn't help but look forward to the following story.

In fact, the following story did not disappoint him.

"The Crow Drinks Water", "The Wolf Is Coming", "The Tortoise and the Hare", "The North Wind and the Sun", "Little Red Riding Hood".

Five in total, five equally wonderful stories.

Lin Fen read these five articles back and forth several times.

The more I look at it, the more I feel, these stories are endless aftertaste.

He became a little excited, and "Fun Children" finally found a good story.

My persistence and waiting over the past few months finally paid off.

It has been a long time since he read such a wonderful little story.

In his opinion, these stories are very valuable even for adults.

"No, I have to call that boy Li Lin. I also persuaded me to buy "Sunshine Children" and almost missed so many wonderful stories."

In the next room, Li Lin's phone rang.

When he saw that Lin Fei was calling, he thought the other party was coming to borrow books.

Can't help but smile, your kid finally came to borrow the book.

"Hey, Lin Fei. How? I still want to watch "Sunshine Children"? Come and get it. I just finished watching, and there are some good stories in it."

"Li Lin, I'm not here to borrow books, I recommend "Fun Children" to you. Tell you, there are a few stories in it that are very exciting, definitely better than "Sunshine Children". If you don't read it, you will regret it. "Lin Fei said.

Li Lin hung up, feeling a little puzzled.

"Is the fun of this issue really so good? Or that kid can't save face and come over to borrow books? I want to die with a hard beak and hold on to the end."

It should be a second possibility.

He doesn't believe that this issue of "Fun Children" will suddenly become so good.

at the same time.

Next to a newsstand.

"Hey, don't read your "Sunshine Children" first. Look at this "North Wind and Sun" first, it's kind of interesting."

Inside an apartment.

A young mother held a magazine in her hand and read it to her daughter as she read it: "A rabbit used to be very proud...Huh! My daughter, let me read it first..."

In a certain community.

A middle-aged man in his 30s asked his son: "Son, have you learned anything from the story of "The Wolf Is Coming"?"

The son replied: "Dad, I don't think you can lie first, and then, you can't fool others with lies..."
