At about six o'clock in the afternoon, my adoptive mother Fu Zi returned home to prepare supper.

Her adoptive mother Fu Xie was once a cellist in the Luocheng Performance Group. She had to go to various places to perform all year round. After marriage, she changed careers and became a cello teacher in the Music Department of Luocheng University.

Work is relatively free and you can enjoy life in a rare way.

Cosine turned off the computer and went into the kitchen to help her adoptive mother prepare supper. She was mainly responsible for cutting vegetables and not much time.

Fu's mother pushed Cosine out of the kitchen with relief, and at the same time nagged her second sister not knowing any housework and being lazy to a certain level. She was not only eating or sleeping, so how could she have such a daughter?

Fu's mother has no fertility and always regards the Li sisters as her biological daughters, but it is ethically a relationship between her aunt and niece.

Yu Xian could only defend her second sister, saying that her second sister's appearance was like a young lady, and she had both the habit of a young lady and the life of a young lady, and she was born to do housework.

While chatting, there was a sound of opening the door outside the door, and the adoptive father Li Xiuren and his elder sister Li Wanzi returned home together.

Li’s father is over forty years old and has a gentle temperament, such as Gao Yuliang’s youth version in “In the Name of People”.

"Welcome home." Cosine said.

Li's father just smiled and nodded, with an unfading sad look between his eyebrows. He walked into the study alone and closed the door. Soon after, the sound of a lighter sounded inside the door.

The forced smile and the smile from the heart can be easily identified. Li’s father has always been unwilling to smoke, and he will only smoke a few when he is upset.

As soon as my elder sister Li Wanzi entered the house, she kicked off her high heels, collapsed on the sofa with barefoot, buried her head in the pillow, and subconsciously swung her legs.

Li Wanzi is about 1.67 meters tall, and her facial features are more heroic than her second sister, and she has a bit of intellectuality and gentle temperament.

Short shoulder-length hair makes the urban beauty more capable, and her figure is more exquisite than her second sister. The OL outfit and flesh-colored stockings make the eldest sister look more mature and reliable.

A few seconds later, Li Wanzi suddenly turned over and sat up in a more dignified sitting posture. Lady should always pay attention to her body shape.

"Sister Zizi, you can relax at home.

If you are so reserved and formal at home, you will never find a place where you can temporarily put down your burdens and rest with peace of mind." Yu Xian advised.

"Xiao Xian knows that she feels sorry for her sister."

Li Wanrong's eyes narrowed into a slit, and was very satisfied with Cosine's performance. She raised her hand and patted the position beside her and said, "Sit down here."

Cosine sat over and deliberately left a distance of 20 cm between him and Li Wanzi. She was not a biological sibling, so she must avoid suspicion.

Li Wanzi smiled with a pursed lips, moved more than ten centimeters to the other side, then turned around and supported the sofa cushion with both hands, and put a pair of beautiful legs on cosine legs.

I closed my eyes lazily: "I ran for a day and felt that my legs were not my own.

Xiaoxian, press your legs for your sister, it is best to help her pinch her feet."

Cosine hesitated for a while, stretched out her hands and pressed her on the eldest sister's calves. She really talked about massage and pinching her feet, and foot massage. Cosine would definitely not understand.

I can only do my best to knead Li Wanzi's calves as much as possible to relax the muscles there.

Li Wanzi's legs are not shorter than Li Wanrong's legs. Her legs are also long and straight. They may be rounder than second sister's legs, and they are tighter because they exercise more.

"Um……"

Li Wanzi moaned and continued, "There are thighs and feet, don't just pinch your calves."

"Sister Zizi, this is not good."

"What's wrong with this? This is very good. Do you think your sister's feet are dirty?" Li Wanzi opened her phoenix eyes and pretended to be angry.

Cosine had no choice but to choose the least of both evils. She divided her hand to move the position and helped Li Wanzi press her feet. She also didn't know anything and could only press and pinch it randomly, as gentle as possible.

The most important point is that many women with excellent facial features and figures often fall on this point and ignore the maintenance of their feet.

My elder sister's toes are relatively round and her nails are trimmed just right. The most important thing is the soles of the feet, the heels are a little hard and there is no calluses, which feels very good.

Until Fu's mother called everyone to have a meal, Cosine did not transfer her hands to her thighs. That position was too sensitive.

Washing hands and bringing the dishes to the table, Li's father had already arrived at the dining room and was at the main seat of the dining table. His second sister had not yet left the room, so she was probably playing a 0-20-2 league.

"Rongrong, I've eaten, I'll never come out for many times..."

"I know, I know, this game has just begun, I'll wait for me for a few minutes."

Fu's mother took off her apron and rushed into her second sister's room with great momentum, wanting to pull her out.

This is a retaining project. According to previous experience, the mother and daughter have to fight for at least 5 minutes. The specific time depends on how low the lower limit of the second sister is and how fast the hang-up speed is.

The family tradition of the Li family is that if people are not as good as the whole family, they will never move their chopsticks. In the past, everyone would discuss some topics, such as Li's father asking about Cosine's studies, and Cosine took the initiative to "ask" Li's father some health-preserving knowledge.

The atmosphere at the dining table today was a bit dull. Li’s father and Li Wanzi were obviously worried and were in a low mood.

Cosine thought for a moment and guessed that she had encountered some problems at work, so she asked tentatively: "Dad, what's wrong with the magazine?"

To raise, the Li family members regard Cosine as their own kindness. Cosine called her parents with peace of mind and was not pretentious.

Li's father was about to deny that he was not a man who was used to bringing the pressure of work to his family, and then looked up at Cosine and Li Wanzi.

My eldest sister is currently internship in a magazine. Cosine has graduated from high school and turns 18 at the end of August. She will definitely take over the magazine in the future, and it is meaningless to hide it.

"The recent situation of the magazine is already considered in danger."

After Li's father said this, he became a little older in an instant. When a man is unable to take on the responsibilities he thinks he can take, it is probably the case.

Cosine listened intently. Li’s father had a slight tendency to machismo and would never say such words until he couldn’t hold on.

Li's father took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped them while telling the magazine's recent situation: "Internet media is developing rapidly, and paper media has been impacted and has become a sunset industry.

The first thing to be affected is newspapers, and magazines are in a slightly better condition, but they are not worried about it.

Our magazine is originally just a county-level magazine, and all kinds of literature and magazines can only be published in Luocheng. The main weekly magazine "Qingyuan", which was promoted, had only 130,000 copies of the weekly sales at its peak.

Affected by the Internet media, the average sales volume of each issue last year has dropped to 70,000 copies, which can barely maintain the balance of revenue and expenditure.

It was not until February last year that the magazine had truly entered a period of disaster.

The main work of the magazine, Mr. Wu Xiuqing's "First Snow in Luocheng", was announced to be completed. Mr. Wu said he would take a break for a while and did not intend to create new works immediately.

The two teachers who made an appointment with the magazine in advance were suddenly poached by Yanzhou Literature and Publication, which was hit by this, and the sales of Qingyuan's weekly continued to decline.

After that, whenever I made an appointment with a new work, I would be poached by the rest of the media.

As of last week, the sales of "Qingyuan" episodes have dropped to less than 30,000 copies, and we have lost money to work in magazines for more than a year.

At present, magazines are in debt and it is difficult to maintain. If there is no turning point by the end of the year, they can only declare bankruptcy or sell magazines at extremely low prices."

It's so critical?

Cosine realized the seriousness of the problem.

The newspapers and magazines are not profitable. The biggest role of it is to allow relevant practitioners to gain a relatively decent social status, except for gossip magazines and paparazzi.

A family magazine will not have too much liquidity, so it is very important whether it can reach the profit line.

The factory produces film, proofreading film, printing, and binding, these costs are relatively fixed, and the lower the sales volume, the higher the cost of spreading it to each magazine.

If the monthly cost of Qingyuan magazine is 300,000 yuan and the sales volume stabilizes to around 70,000 yuan, then every time you sell one less, it will have a huge impact on the operation of the magazine.

This algorithm is the same when it comes to families. The total living expenses of mortgages and car loans are 10,000 yuan, and the monthly salary is 11,000 yuan, and the monthly salary is 100 yuan. But as long as the monthly salary is reduced to 9,900 yuan, there will be an additional 100 yuan in debt each month.

"The most urgent task is to find a good enough work to increase the sales of "Qingyuan" again." Cosine concluded.

Father Li smiled bitterly: “How easy is this?

The outstanding writers in Yanzhou either have already had serialized works in other magazines, or their writing style is not in line with "Qingyuan", or they have no inspiration and time.

Zizi visited several teachers who settled in Luocheng in the past week, but did not make an appointment with a single work."

So that's it, no wonder Sister Zizi's leg muscles are so stiff.

At this moment, my second sister was finally pulled out of the room by Mother Fu and walked towards the dining table.

Cosine and Li's father kept silent at the same time, not bringing the troubles of work to the family, and giving his family the best living atmosphere. This is what Li's father has always insisted on, and Cosine also agrees with this.

If the eldest sister hadn't been intern at the magazine at home, and Li's father didn't even want Li Wanzi to know all this, the man should have taken on everything silently.

The dining table was as happy as before, talking and laughing.

After dinner, Cosine returned to the room, turned on the computer and clicked on a pure music at will, and put on the headphones to listen to the music while falling into deep thought.

Cosine suddenly recalled one of the four masterpieces in her previous life, "Dream of Red Mansions".

After the fall of the Jia family, the wives, ladies and maids could no longer maintain their decent life. Wang Xifeng died of illness in prison, Xue Baochai was a widow, Yuanchun died of illness, Yingchun was beaten by her husband, Tanchun married far away, Xichun became a monk...

Now is a society ruled by law. After the magazine goes bankrupt, the eldest and second sisters will not end up in such a situation, but they must also bear the burden of life that they should not have to bear, and they will no longer have the color of the past.
