1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 84 Invitation to Manuscript

For several days, Luo Tao once again lived a leisurely life.

When I have nothing to do, I just spend time with my wife, children and mother, having fun, drinking tea, smoking and reading. Not to mention how happy I am.

Huang Yuanchao and Liu Hai also come here often. I heard that they are getting married at the end of the year, and they are looking for good partners.

Hearing that Huang Yuanchao's partner works in a bank, he is considered a good match.

The girl with bangs is not an easy girl. She is a strong woman. She works in a department store but is not a regular employee. When she has nothing to do, she also sells some private goods.

Liu Hai met her through business, and she didn't know why she fell in love with Liu Hai. Thinking about it, Liu Hai only had money and nothing left to talk about.

It's a good thing to have a partner. Think about it, they are already old and have earned a lot of money. It's time to get married and have children. Luo Tao sincerely wishes them their best wishes.

Hou Ming was a bit too calm, and there were no disturbances in emotional matters. When Aunt Hou came to Luo's house to see little October, she asked her mother Su Guilan to help introduce him. She eagerly hoped that Hou Ming could get married soon and have a good relationship. A piece of my heart.

Su Guilan responded first. Looking back, she realized that she really didn't know many young girls in their twenties.

So, I told the sisters who came to Luo's house every day about this matter. These aunts and ladies also liked this matter, so they agreed to help with the introduction, but they didn't receive any letters for several days.

……

"Hey, I'm at home."

Luo Tao listened to the sound and looked at the person. What does this grandson mean?Why did you bring a gift today? Why are you holding back today?
Luo Tao didn't stand up to be polite to him, but said directly: "What's the matter with you today?"

"You have such an attitude towards your guests." He shook the things in his hands again, "For the sake of things, you should bring me a stool!"

"Hey, does the sun really come out from the west today? I can still see you bringing things." Luo Tao sat on a chair and looked to the west.

Then he said: "If it weren't for the sake of things, I would throw you out."

"Huh, snobbish." The old horse bypassed Luo Tao and went to greet Su Guilan.

"Auntie, how are you doing recently?" Ma Wei was confused. He couldn't look at such a good guy. Compared with Little October, he was considered harmful.

"What have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you here yet." Su Guilan was not too polite to Ma Wei. This guy came just when he had nothing to do, and he gradually became familiar with him. Being polite seemed hypocritical.

The old horse used Luo Tao as an antique teacher and Zhu Lin as a matchmaker. The family really had their own affairs. Zhu Lin and Su Guilan now have a client, waiting for them to introduce marriages for them.

"Hey, I've been busy changing jobs recently, and I haven't had time to come over and chat with my aunt. Don't blame me." Ma Weidu happily told her about his happy event.

"You changed jobs, what are you doing now?"

"Just like you, I have dedicated myself to the newspaper industry and worked as an editor"

“This is good, not tiring”

Su Guilan knew the word "editor", but if she had to describe it, it would be: sitting in the room, not doing any heavy work, just playing with the pen.

Seeing that he couldn't continue the conversation, Zhu Lin said: "I read the novel you wrote. It's really good. I heard it's very popular."

"Hey, Sister Lin said it seriously, so let's do it! Where's the eldest nephew?" Ma Wei still knew how to lose face. If Luo Tao said this, he would definitely turn up.Then he asked Xiao October again.

"You just went to bed, are you in the house?"

"Oh, I'll go take a look." Zhu Lin took him in.

Luo Tao also stood up and said to Su Guilan, who was peeling peanuts, "Yes, I'm here to eat."

"Hey, is this kid also a writer?" Su Guilan asked Luo Tao as Ma Weidu entered the room with his finger outstretched.

Luo Tao nodded and squatted down to peel the peanuts.

"This kid can't tell. He became a writer without saying a word. The old saying goes that people should not be judged by their appearance. It's true." As Su Guilan spoke, she peeled off a half-rotten peanut in her hand and put it in her mouth. The good part is eaten, and the bad part is thrown away.

"There are so many things you can't see? Are you going to use so many peanuts?"

"Why can't I use it? I'm afraid that large piece of land is not enough."

These peanuts were bought by Luo Shaoyi a few days ago. They were old peanuts from last year. They originally wanted to use them to cook porridge, or make peanuts for wine. Unexpectedly, Su Guilan thought of the open space in the small garden and planned to make them. Save seeds.Luo Tao really wanted to say, wouldn't it be good to let them stay in the shell?Why did you strip off so early? I thought it would be better to be naked and it would be convenient to eat.

"This little guy looks like that jade doll, so beautiful." Ma Wei was envious!
"You came here today just to talk about your job change, right?" Luo Tao said to Lao Ma who came out.

"This is a small matter. If something big comes to you, it's up to you." Ma Wei said seriously.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Luo Tao was confused.

"Our newspaper also wants to publish your novel, so I sent me to ask you about it. I also want to invite you to write a manuscript. The fee for the manuscript is seven yuan per thousand words. Brother, you can do it!"

"Is the novel okay?"

"There has been a lot of quarrels and quarrels. The words posted above are well written and not exaggerated or false. Aren't we also responding to the call? What do you think?"

"Oh, no problem. The remuneration will be the same as that of Harvest magazine. Please tell me if I am interesting enough."

"Hey, you are really generous. They asked me to come, and the bottom line was six yuan. You can ask for seven yuan." Ma Weidu said, gesturing with his hands.

Which company used him for this guy, he was really unlucky for eight lifetimes, and he sold his bottom all at once.

"Ahem, let's forget it. Congratulations on becoming editor, buddy." Luo Tao said to Lao Ma while eating peanuts in his mouth.

"Rich people are different, so I feel ashamed to accept it. What about the manuscript invitation?"

"Don't tell me that I really have a story that I haven't had time to write. If you're not in a hurry, just wait a few days!"

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. I'm here at the right time. I heard that "Harvest" has been inviting you to write a manuscript since [-], but you haven't written it yet. I didn't expect that I would cut off my beard this time."

"I also like you." Luo Tao looked at Lao Ma who had squatted down next to him. This guy was also a thief.

"That's right, he's just a little worse than your son." These words were so scary that they lowered the cuteness of little October by dozens of notches.

"Cough...cough, I can't peel them as fast as you guys, but you still eat them." Su Guilan peeled the peanuts seriously, looking at the two people's hands, one at a time, one at a time, was this a chat or stealing peanuts? ah!
Both of them put down the peanuts in their hands in embarrassment. This scene seemed a little awkward.

"Hey!" Zhu Lin was very happy when he saw this.

"Let's go and have tea." Luo Tao saw the blushing old horse.

"Hey, hey, that aunt is so sorry."

"Go, go, you guys, stay over there. I've been peeling them all morning, and it's not enough for you two to make in just one moment." Su Guilan was eager for the two of them to eat their peanuts secretly and stay away from her peanuts.

"Try the newly bought Wuyi Dahongpao." Luo Tao had already picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"You can get this too." Ma Weidu sat down and asked before he tasted it.

"What are you thinking about? It's the worst."

"This is not easy to do! This is my first time drinking Dahongpao." Ma Weidu sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Pretending, he couldn't say anything else except that he was good. Drinking tea was just pretending to be cultured.

"When did you join the newspaper office?" Luo Tao was curious about how he joined the newspaper office so quickly?
"It's a good time to say it. The novel became popular just before it was published. At this time, the newspaper is in short supply of editors, especially talented editors like me."

Hey, I was also a bitch and asked him what he was doing.

"Come and have tea." There was no way to refute this. He became an editor and discovered many excellent works.

I stayed for another meal at noon, and Lao Ma went back happily. Not only was the task completed, but he also had a meal.
