    005.

    "It's a holiday, do you want to go to your grandpa's house to play?"

    Soon, the first semester of the first year of junior high school passed, and the results of the final exam have not yet come out, but no students will suspect that Chen Mengyao's grades are fake, because in the few quizzes before the final exam, Chen Mengyao got a super high score.point.

    And there are almost no questions that the teacher mentioned in the course that she can't answer.

    The current Chen Mengyao has the impression of being a top student among the first-year students of the town middle school. Her crushing dark horse results are still talked about by students.His deeds were also picked up by students from the same village, which aroused the feeling of "he is indeed a top student, and if he falls behind, it will only take a few minutes to catch up".

    Although the final grades have not been released yet, it is certain that Chen Mengyao's grades must be very high.

    Even if you can't win the first place, you won't fall out of the top ten.

    The reason why say this is because under the stimulation of Chen Mengyao, other top students began to study more seriously, especially the former first and second students, all began to follow suit.

    Maybe if you keep rolling, you can return to the first place again?

    But everything still has to wait for the results to come out, and now it's just a discussion.

    Because Chen Mengyao was brought up by her grandparents in the past, and she used to go to her grandparents' house during holidays, that's why Jiang Juan asked this question.

    Grandpa and grandma are also from the countryside. After the holidays, they just go from one village to another. In terms of population and environment, the village of grandpa and grandma is actually not as good as hers. However, Chen Mengyao thinks there is not much difference. They are both not rich.many.Think about it and there is nothing to refuse.

    When she was young, she still had a lot of playmates in her grandfather’s village, but now there are not many left. Chen Mengyao thought about it, and took all her textbooks with her before going, and arrived when her mother drove her through the town.The bookstore bought a few books.

    She has pocket money, and as far as remember, some of her pocket money was given by her grandparents, and some of it was for running errands for her mother, or she used buying books as an excuse to ask her for more.

    The first child always had a preference, and Mom would occasionally open her eyes and close her eyes, acquiescing to her leftover change from errands or giving her extra when she excused herself to buy a book.

    However, she didn't have much pocket money left after she entered junior high school, so she used it to read novels or go to Internet cafes.

    There are many private Internet cafes in the town. It doesn’t matter if you need an ID card to see if you are a minor. They are doing business for students. The Internet fee is one yuan per hour. If you live in the town and buy a few machines, you don’t need to drive on the side of the road., Naturally, students will come to hear the news, and the business is very good.

    In the past, Chen Mengyao was also a frequent visitor to Internet cafes. Apart from chatting in water groups, she used to decorate the space to grow vegetables and steal vegetables.

    She didn't dare to skip class and come out to play, so she only went to play secretly during the noon period, and her addiction wasn't too great.

    But now, Chen Mengyao, who has changed her ways, has not gone to the Internet cafe for a long time, and the fifty yuan bonus she earned for being the first in the monthly exam is still in her pocket, so she can afford it.

    Thinking that the winter vacation lasts for about a month, it would be good to have a proper balance between work and rest, and to brush up some extracurricular knowledge.

    After her grades came up, Jiang Juan felt more at ease with her, and offered to pay her when buying books.

    That is to say, Chen Mengyao refused, saying that she would pay with her bonus, so she didn't say anything.But there was a smile on his face.

    However, books were quite expensive at this time, four or five yuan for a magazine, twenty or twenty yuan for a famous work, and thirty or forty yuan more expensive.There are not many types of bookstores, and there are very few books to choose from. Except for romance magazines and novels, the others are either teaching materials or works of famous writers.

    The only books that can be rented are romance novels, and classics are not rented.

    Fifty yuan doesn't buy much.

    Still too poor and the town too small to even have a library.

    There is no library in the whole town, and there is no library in the whole school. Can you believe it?

    Chen Mengyao felt that she must either find a way to make money, or find a way to get into the county exam earlier.

    There are many schools in the county, well-known public schools and private schools have libraries, and the county town also has public libraries.

    It's a pity that she hadn't been to the county until now, except that she went to the county to take the self-enrollment exam in the early stage of Xiaosheng. The fare was 20 yuan, and she was so poor that she couldn't afford it.

    After thinking about it, she went back and bought two popular romance magazines. She remembered that there was a call for papers at the back.If you make a fortune, you won't be unable to afford the fare to the county seat!

    Although she has never written a novel, she feels that the above novels seem to be able to be written by herself, so let's give it a try, buy it first to study the style, and try it out if it works.

    Of course, she didn't plan to put all her energy on it. Although she always had the urge to write in her heart, learning is more important now.She remembered that several well-known private schools in the county held self-enrollment examinations every school year. Tuition fees were waived for those who passed the exam, and bonuses were awarded for good grades.

    Passing the exam and going to the county seat is more upright and more honorable than writing a novel, which parents don't trust at first glance.

    At this time, there are still many parents and teachers who regard romance novels as poisonous weeds.

    Jiang Juan frowned when she saw that Chen Mengyao bought these two novels with fancy covers. Just as she was about to say something, Chen Mengyao said, "Combine work with rest. I'm bored to read after finishing my homework. Change my mind. I'm tired of studying all the time."Choked up, and thought about Chen Mengyao's achievements and performance during this period, she was indeed a lot more diligent, and now it was a holiday, so she said one more thing, "It's okay to watch less, if you watch too much of this stuff, you'll make your mind look stupid."

    Chen Mengyao: ...

    Grandpa and grandma still welcome Chen Mengyao's arrival very much. They haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are very friendly.

    Chen Mengyao can feel their care and love for her. Before she got the first grade in the exam, the children in the village who went to school in the town came back and told their parents, and the parents told their grandparents that they even specially entrusted the children who went to school in the townBring her ten dollars to reward her.

    Chen Mengyao is not only the child they brought up with their own hands, but also their first grandchild. The relationship is a little deeper than other children. Before, she would steal pocket money every time before, and the exam rewards are even a habit since she was a child.

    Of course, liking her doesn't mean that you don't care about other grandchildren, and you will also give pocket money, but in private, you still give her more, and the frequency is more frequent.

    Chen Mengyao is as comfortable here as at home.

    But my parents don't cultivate the land, and my grandparents have to farm and raise pigs. They spend a lot of time in the fields every day, so they just chat and care about her when they have time at night.

    Grandpa and grandma have four children, two boys and two girls. The eldest is Chen Mengyao's mother, and the second is Chen Mengyao's uncle. They live outside. They have three children, two sons and a daughter. They are not very old, and the youngest is only three years old.I usually take it with me. My two sons go to elementary school and cannot afford to pay outside. They also live in hometown. Sometimes take them outside during holidays, and sometimes they stay at home.This year they changed their place to work, and there was a nearby factory that could take over manual work, so they took their children there.

    The third child is Chen Mengyao's aunt, married in a relatively affluent village nearby, and has given birth to two daughters.The fourth child is Chen Mengyao's uncle, the only one in the family who is still studying, but he is studying in a secondary vocational school. In other provinces, the annual tuition and living expenses add up to tens of thousands of yuan.

    It's not that the grandparents are partial to this youngest son and only let him go to school alone. In fact, before Chen Mengyao's mother, uncle and aunt drop out of school, the grandparents will ask for money, even if they borrow money, but Chen Mengyao's mother and aunt love the familySpending money, plus the atmosphere of studying around at that time was not strong, and every time the tuition was not paid on time (grandpa and grandma made money by farming and doing odd jobs, and their income was very unstable), the teacher would remind them, and it was a bit embarrassing.She chose to drop out of school to work, and her mother didn't even finish elementary school.

    Her uncle had finished junior high school, but his grades were mediocre. In that year, his grandmother fell ill again, and the family couldn't afford money to pay him for technical secondary school, so he had to work.

    As for brother-in-law, can only say that he is old-fashioned, and he is indeed a bit partial. When he was studying, his older brothers and sisters went to work soon. After he graduated from junior high school, the family also saved a little money., have to study, don’t want to work in a factory or farm.

    Grandpa and grandma love children, and he clamored to go to school, so let him go.

    What want to learn is also medical skills. After five years of graduation, can open a pharmacy in the village and provide medical treatment and injections to the village and several nearby villages. Not only can make money, but can also stay at home, which is not bad.

    As for working harder now, there is no way. After all, since ancient times, it has not been easy for farmers to provide for their children to study.

    But I will be graduating in June and July next year, and I'm almost in my early years, so my grandpa and grandma are still happy.

    There are four children, and finally one child is considered to be a good reader.

    Even if it is not a serious university, but look around, you can count on one finger who can go to a technical secondary school.

    My grandpa and grandma are proud to be able to offer.

    Closer to home, because the children of my uncle's family have all gone out this year, and my uncle said that he has to work on winter vacation and has no time to come back, which leads to Chen Mengyao being the only one at home.

    Chen Mengyao also wanted to go to the field to help, but grandpa and grandma said that there is not much work in the field now, and she is not needed, so let her study hard at home.

    Chen Mengyao insisted on following, but her hands were blistered when she came back that day, and her hands were tender after not holding a hoe for a long time.

    Grandpa and grandma didn't want her to follow them anymore. They went out early in the morning and ran to the mountains to weed the fruit trees and apply pesticides, determined to abandon her.

    Chen Mengyao had nothing to do, this existence was surrounded by mountains, and the population was small, divided into several different hills, they got up early, and Chen Mengyao didn't even know when they left.

    Simply stayed at home.

    During the period, her childhood playmates also came to ask her to play, but they still played naive games such as jumping rope, grid jumping, hide-and-seek, or invited her to play games at the Internet cafe in the town, and Chen Mengyao would not be sensitive.

    So, was left alone again.

    Chen Mengyao doesn't feel lost either, she has the freedom to be alone, she doesn't like to play those games, and there's no need to force herself to waste time just to fit in with the group.

    She just did homework at home, brushed up questions, memorized texts, and borrowed textbooks from senior students for next semester to preview in advance.

    During the period, read a romance magazine and wrote a novel.

    It's not that Chen Mengyao is bragging herself. It was her first time writing a romance novel that she turned out to be very fluent. She finished writing a romance novel with more than 7,000 words in one day. After finishing it, she still felt that it was no worse than a magazine.

    It went smoothly as if it was a veteran for many years.

    Could it be that she is really a young writing genius?

    Chen Mengyao remembers that she wrote a good composition when she was in elementary school, and won the first prize in the town composition competition. In private, she also wrote fairy tales such as "the princess sets out to save the country and her friends fight monsters", but the story is still in the "In the imitation" stage, it is very green and the readability is not particularly strong.

    Why is writing romance novels so smooth now?

    Wouldn't it be her writing skills that shine in the romance novel?

    Or does she feel too good about herself because of her "mother's eyes"?

    Forget it, it doesn't matter so much, as long as it can be written, she confirmed that this is an original novel, not any novel she has read, so she can transcribe it and submit it for submission.

    Originally, Chen Mengyao planned to submit the manuscript by mail, but after looking at the submission addresses of the two magazines in other provinces, and thinking about the stamp fee, after much deliberation, she decided that it would be better to submit the manuscript directly to the mailbox. The Call for Papers not only supports mailing, and also supports posting directly to their email addresses.

    The Internet fee for an hour is only one yuan, and it should not take much time to type a novel of seven or eight thousand words. Think about it, it is worth it.

    However, it is better not to let the family know about writing novels for the time being. Seeing how her mother and the adults around her treat romance novels, Chen Mengyao feels that she should not challenge this.

    She picked a time and secretly took a bus to an Internet cafe in another town.

    This town is relatively close to Grandpa’s village. Chen Mengyao and her grandmother came here to go to the market when they were young. Now the town has not changed much, and she is not afraid. After getting off the car, she walked on the street naturally.I found an Internet cafe on the street, looked at the entrance, and found that it was not much different from the Internet cafe in the town where she was, so went in and paid for a machine.

    Because of the holidays, there were many students, and we waited in a queue until a machine became available.

    Chen Mengyao booted up and logged in, the speed was very slow, it took more than a minute to complete the boot up, and a bunch of advertisements popped up, which was very annoying.

    Turn off all of them, and instead of logging in to the chat account first as before, you can directly find the document and write code words.

    She was seated by the window, and a boy next to her was playing a game passionately, and he didn't give her a single look, so the behavior of coding did not attract attention. Chen Mengyao was relieved, she was not used to being surrounded by people watching coding.

    The typing speed is estimated to have been practiced by chatting on the Internet before. Although it is not Wubi typing, it can be blind typed, and the speed is also very fast.

    Before, she deliberately practiced blind typing on the keyboard, which is a very cool skill for middle school students. Chen Mengyao's memory is not bad, so she memorized the position of the keyboard with hard work.

    But now it's more convenient to type the finished novels. In about half an hour, both novels are finished.

    In order to save money, she only paid the fee for one hour first, thinking that there was not enough time to renew the fee. Now it seems that there are still 20 minutes, which is quite enough. Chen Mengyao is relieved, and can save some more!

    After quickly logging into her chat account, there was a series of knocks on the door, and the message reminder in the small right corner was not flashing. Chen Mengyao casually glanced at it and moved it away when she saw various Martian texts. It’s not important.

    It took about ten minutes for her to log in to her mailbox to upload and send the manuscript before she thought about reading the messages that popped up.

    Some are group chat messages, some are friend requests, and some are private messages.

    There is nothing important in the group chat, and you can turn it off after a few glances.

    Some friends did not know each other, and some of them had the names of elementary school/junior high school classmates noted, and she passed it.

    There are also some private messages. Chen Mengyao clicked on them, and while reading them, she searched her mind for who this is, why didn't she write a note?I haven't been online for a long time, so don't have any impression of it.

    Forget it, don’t reply if it’s not important content, important content... Wait, why is there a note [Brother] here?

    The second cousin?

    Take a look at the chat.

    [Brother: Sister, brother gave you a space skin, see if you like it.]

    [Brother: Sister, I will buy you a Green Diamond membership, and you can add songs to your space.]

    [Brother: Sister, look at the hairstyle I just cut, is it handsome?]

    [Brother: What's wrong with you?Why haven't you been online recently, are you okay?]

    [Brother: Are you there?younger sister?]

    Chen Mengyao: ...

    asphyxia.

    This is not a real brother at all, but a brother recognized on the Internet!

    Oh, it's so suffocating!

    She actually did this kind of casual recognition of her brother and sister?Jiu Min, isn't this too embarrassing?!

    Delete delete delete delete, brother and sister, refuse to be ambiguous!Reject online dating!

    Also, this screen name also has to be changed, something like [Hagi Na no solitary], it's weird.

    Chen Mengyao did not hesitate to type - Yu Gesang.

    Yu Gesang?who is this!

    The author has something to say:
