During dinner in the evening, Lin Xiuhong sighed at the dinner table.

"Li Luo is having dinner at home, but Xixi is not here, so I always feel like something is missing."

"Indeed." Li Guohong nodded in agreement, "I don't know if the plane has arrived."

"Probably not yet." Li Luo looked at his phone, "We'll arrive at about eight or nine in the evening."

"Where are their first stops?" Lin Xiuhong asked.

"Paris." Li Luo said, "One of the artists from Uncle Ying's company is going to participate in the fashion show. By the way, there are a few endorsement contracts to negotiate. Didn't you guys talk about it while drinking yesterday?"

Later, Ying Zhicheng will take Ying Chanxi to London for some business.

Finally, we flew to Ohio in the northern part of the United States, but we didn’t say why we were going there.

"It's great." Lin Xiuhong sighed, "I don't know if I can go abroad once in my life."

Don't talk about Lin Xiuhong.

Li Luo has never been abroad in two lifetimes...

but.

"You can go if you want to." Li Luo said with a smile, "Don't be busy with the breakfast shop all the time. You two are already this age, so hurry up and enjoy your life. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk when you get old. I want to take you with me."

You can’t even travel abroad.”

"What do you mean you're this old?" Lin Xiuhong glared at him, "There's nothing nice to say."

"That's right." Li Guohong agreed, "Your mother is still young."

Li Luo helplessly held his forehead.

He gave this advice, on the one hand, he wanted to stop his parents from being so tired, and on the other hand, he also wanted to start avoiding some risks as early as possible.

Especially the physical risks.

Lin Xiuhong was diagnosed with cancer in her previous life. According to the doctor, it may be due to long-term overwork.

After all, Lin Xiuhong neither smokes nor drinks alcohol. It is most likely that it has something to do with this long-term habit of getting up early and being greedy at night.

Li Luo is not a medical student, and he doesn't know how big the relationship is, but it would be good to let his parents rest as soon as possible, or at least stop doing this kind of work.

Thinking of this, Li Luo coughed twice: "That's right, wasn't yesterday the 3rd? Last month's royalties have already been paid out."

"Oh?" Li Guohong raised his eyebrows and asked expectantly, "How much is the royalties?"

"The main website's manuscript fee is 150,000..."

"Ouch!" Lin Xiuhong looked shocked, "Didn't you say it was more than 100,000 yuan last month?"

"That's an estimate, but 150,000 is considered to be just over 100,000."

"That's a lot!" Lin Xiuhong couldn't help but say, "150,000, your dad and I will have to work for more than half a year."

"Ahem." Li Luo cleared his throat again and reminded, "I haven't finished yet. The 150,000 yuan is just the main website's manuscript fee. Last month, my book was also on the website's distribution channel, and there is another 210,000 yuan.

channel royalties.”

"So..."

"The actual total royalties last month should have been 370,000."

"Three hundred and seventy thousand?!" Li Guohong stood up from his seat.

The entire dining table was bumped by his belly and moved a few centimeters with a scoff.

Lin Xiuhong didn't react for a moment, her mind was buzzing.

Only Li Luo quickly stabilized the dining table: "Don't be so excited, calm down, calm down."

"Can I not be excited about this horse riding?" Li Guohong's breathing was a little rapid and he said quickly, "What kind of backstage do you have? Take it out and see if it is real?"

"How can this be fake?"

Li Luo shook his head helplessly, took out his mobile phone, opened his writer's backend, logged in, clicked on the royalties column, and showed it to them.

When Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong got closer, they saw clearly the number starting with "37", and after carefully counting the numbers before the decimal point several times, they finally confirmed this fact.

Then the couple sat back on their chairs and looked at each other in silence for a moment, not knowing what to say.

When Li Luo said that the monthly manuscript fee was more than 40,000 yuan, the couple was already very shocked.

Later, they checked Li Luo's bank card, and when they found that there was a deposit of more than 500,000 yuan in the card, they were even more shocked.

But at any rate, it was the wealth that Li Luo had accumulated through more than half a year of hard work, so it was still justifiable.

But what about now?

Just one month’s royalties!

There are actually 370,000?

Isn't this stealing money?

Their breakfast restaurant has worked hard for a year, but they can't make this kind of money!

As a result, my son made money after just one month of writing!

Lin Xiuhong's brain was a little confused. After being hit on the head by a sudden and huge surprise, she already didn't know how to think.

If this trend continues, Li Luo will be able to earn millions just by writing such a novel?

It’s 370,000 this month. Even if it doesn’t increase next month, if it stays at this level, it’ll be one million in three months. Wouldn’t it be four million in one year?!

Lin Xiuhong covered her forehead, unable to imagine such a number.

She and Li Guohong had worked hard for more than ten years and saved a fortune of 600,000 to 700,000 yuan.

Who would have thought that in just over half a year, her son would reach this stage.

It is said that everyone hopes that their children will become successful. Before Li Luo's high school entrance examination, Lin Xiuhong's biggest wish was that he could enter a serious university.

After the high school entrance examination was over, I began to dream that my son would be admitted to Qianjiang University.

After Li Luo took first place in the class and ranked 27th in the midterm exam in the school, Lin Xiuhong began to dream about her son graduating from Qianjiang University, getting a high-paying job with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, and living a prosperous life.

In the end, reality slapped her awake, and then told her, your imagination is not rich enough, I have something more exciting here, come and see.

You don't know if you look at it, it almost makes people feel numb.

Li Guohong on the side was also a little confused, his hands were shaking a little. He picked up a cigarette and lit it, but he failed to aim the lighter several times.

After taking a puff of cigarette, the whole person regained his composure a little.

Then he finally began to think about what Li Luo said initially.

The son earns the couple more than a year's income in one month, so is it really necessary to keep this breakfast shop open?

It's so exhausting to work from dawn to dusk, I might as well take care of this guy Li Luo, and I won't be able to spend all my monthly royalties.

But after thinking about it, Li Guohong still said: "After all, your novel is not a long-term solution. You also said before that it will only be written in one or two years."

“After I finish writing this book, what if I can’t get ahead after writing this book?”

"I think it's better to look at it again."

After listening to what his father said, Li Luo also shook his head and laughed, but he could understand his father's thoughts.

But Li Luo thought for a while and said, "Dad, I think it's okay to work, but can we find a slightly easier job?"

"If you think about it, the momentum of my current book is basically unstoppable."

"It is estimated that there will be hundreds of thousands in the next month."

"So what we talked about before, buying a house or a store, can we think more about it?"

"In the future, if you have several stores and apartments in your hands, you and your mother will make more money than you do now by doing nothing but collecting rent every month."

"That's a store near a subway entrance, and the rent will be very expensive. Isn't it more stable and easier than your breakfast shop?"

Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong were also stunned when Li Luo reminded them.

The main reason is that I have been accustomed to doing breakfast restaurants for a lifetime, so it is somewhat path dependent.

When Li Luo said this, the couple realized that this was indeed the case.

Wouldn’t it be easy for the landlord who collects rent?

Thinking of this, Li Guohong also fell silent.

"It happens to be the Chinese New Year during this period." Li Guohong thought for a moment and then said, "I will walk around my relatives more to see if there are anyone I know, and ask if anyone wants to sell a shop near the subway entrance.

"

"Ask more about West Street." Li Luo quickly reminded, "On the West Street west of Qianjiang University, which leads directly to the Ningshan Tunnel, that side has the best location."

"Okay." Li Guohong nodded and accepted Li Luo's proposal without knowing it. He didn't think of questioning it at all, "I'll go ask."

It can only be said that 370,000 yuan brings not only financial changes, but also changes in Li Luo's family status and voice.

In the past, if Li Luo said "ask the shops on West Street", Li Guohong would have to ask why.

After all, the subway line has not yet been completely determined, let alone which specific station will eventually be located at that street intersection.

But now with the support of 370,000 monthly manuscript fees and 500,000 in deposits, the couple has subconsciously accepted Li Luo's increased voice in the family.

And they themselves didn't even notice it.

"Oh, by the way." Li Luo added, "I'm going out on the 6th to stay in the city for a few days."

"Why are you going to the city?" Lin Xiuhong asked curiously.

"I have good grades. The website recommended me to the Qianjiang Provincial Internet Writers Association a while ago." Li Luo said, "There will be a symposium there soon, and I won an essay award.

Invite me to participate, and there will be awards, and there is a bonus of 50,000 yuan."

The couple was stunned for a while after hearing this, thinking how did you get 50,000 yuan again?

Is it so easy to make money these days?

However, with the shocking jewels of 500,000 and 370,000 yuan in front of them, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong's reaction to the 50,000 yuan essay prize was not as big as before.

It seems that this desensitization training has been very effective.

"Isn't your uncle from the Writers Association?" Lin Xiuhong suddenly thought of this, "Why don't you tell your uncle and ask him to take you there, so that you can take care of me."

"No, no, no, these two are not the same association." Li Luo said quickly, "Uncle, that is a serious traditional writers association. I am an online writer association that was just established this year. It is different."

"Okay, he's not too young now. He can handle his own affairs by himself. We don't understand." Li Guohong waved his hand and said, "But you have to pay attention to your safety and call us when the time comes. Don't be deceived.

ah."

"Don't worry, my editor will come too."

"Is that so?" When Lin Xiuhong heard this, she immediately said, "Then why don't you invite her to your home for a meal? We would also like to thank her editor for her cultivation."

"Let's talk about it then. I'll ask others for their opinions."

After telling his parents about these things, Li Luo got up after finishing his meal, helped his mother clear the table, and went into the kitchen to help wash the dishes.

But just as she was about to wash, she was pushed out of the kitchen by Lin Xiuhong.

"You have a lot of money now. Go back to the house and write. I will wash the dishes."

Li Luo was pushed all the way back to the bedroom, blinked his eyes, and suddenly felt dumbfounded.

Before we co-authored it, I was ranked first in the class in the exams in school, so my skills were not valuable, right?

Li Luo shook his head and laughed, sat down at the desk, and opened the laptop that Yan Zhusheng borrowed from him.

I just happened to receive a message from the editor.

[Qianzhou]: Tomorrow, the 5th, I will arrive at Yuhang City in the afternoon. How about meeting in advance?

Seeing this news, Li Luo immediately raised his eyebrows.

So he replied.

[Reignited]: Then do you want to come to my house for a meal?

【Qianzhou】:Ah? Isn’t this a little too intrusive?

[Reignited]: It's okay. My mother just said at the dinner table that she wanted to ask if you were free and could come over to have a meal or something.

[Qianzhou]: That's it... Then give me your address. After all, you are still a minor. I will meet your parents first to reassure them.

[Reignited]: OK, see you tomorrow.
