Before he had typed a few words, there was a knock on the door.

"Jiang Jiang, go open the door, I'm cooking!" Mom's voice came from the kitchen.

"I'm here!"

Jiang Shi pressed the save button skillfully, then ran to the living room to open the door.

"Hello, this is a letter from Mr. Jiang Lai."

The uniformed postman stood at the door and handed over an envelope.

It seemed that his manuscript fee and sample magazine had arrived.

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Shi took it.

The postman nodded and left.

"Jiang Jiang, who's here?" Wu Xueqin came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a spatula.

"Nothing, door-to-door sales, I sent them away."

Jiang Shi hid the envelope behind his back and explained casually.

"Sales, don't open the door for them next time."

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Jiang's mother went back to cook.

Jiang Shi took the envelope and trotted back to the study.

After opening the brown envelope, the first thing that caught her eye was a touch of red.

No more, no less, just 12 pages.

Jiang Shi carefully put it into her pocket. After all, it was the first pot of gold she earned after her rebirth.

It would also be the first money she had to change her life.

A sample copy was sent along with the manuscript fee.

As a bimonthly magazine, a copy of "Story" was quite important in her hand.

Jiang Shi opened the catalog and read through it line by line, and found many familiar names.

In her previous life, she also loved reading novels and published some articles.

However, under the pressure of life, she had to give up this hobby in the end.

Turning to the second page, Jiang Shi saw her pen name.

With a length of more than 10,000 words, it took up almost four pages, and there were also illustrations. It can be said that the editorial department was very conscientious of her as a newcomer.

Jiang Shi found an empty space on the bookshelf and stuffed the book in.

Most of the books in the study are just for display, and no one will read them.

Jiang Shi is not afraid of being discovered. Even if she is seen, she still uses a pen name, so her parents cannot recognize her.

After being interrupted again and again, she lost her inspiration for a while.

Jiang Shi simply turned off the computer, took the "huge sum of money" back to the room, and settled her own small money first.

After lunch, she will continue to work hard on typing.

As a result, just as she walked to the kitchen to see what delicious food her mother made today.

She was asked if the clothes were hung up.

Hiss, I forgot about it.

Jiang Xiaomao held the clothesline and hung clothes on the balcony one by one.

Just in time, a group of uncles gathered in the shaded corner of the community.

From time to time, there were some shouts and shouts, and there were also sounds of chess pieces hitting the chessboard.

No need to think, they must be playing chess.

In 2010, there was no place like a community activity room in the community.

These old people moved some small tables and stools to make a crude entertainment area for the elderly.

Jiang Shi squinted and looked up at the sun.

The air outside was a little hot, but it was a good thing that these old men were still so excited.

She didn't even want to leave the house.

It was almost 12 o'clock when Ji Ruisong returned home.

If Jiang Shi remembered correctly, her stepfather seemed to be a department-level cadre.

However, the department was relatively marginal. When he was free, he would drink tea in the office for several weeks in a row. When he was busy, he had to continue working overtime on weekends.

Ji Ruisong picked up the water cup on the table and drank a sip of water.

He wiped off the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and sat on the chair to rest.

"Drink slowly, be careful not to choke."

Jiang's mother came out of the kitchen with a freshly cooked tomato scrambled egg and reminded her.

Ji Ruisong waved his hand and took a breath.

Jiang's mother looked up and saw her daughter squatting into the study.

She grabbed Jiang Xiaomao's neck and dragged him back to the living room.

"It's time to eat. Play after dinner."

Jiang Shi could only sit obediently at the dining table and wait for dinner.

Ji Ruisong looked around and asked his wife:

"Where's Xiaohan? Why don't I see him?"

Wu Xueqin took off her apron and put three bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.

"He said his classmate was having a birthday party and went to the birthday party. He told me that it was at Fuyun Hotel. Do you want to pick him up in the evening?"

"A group of young people are having a party. Why should I join in the fun? I don't know when it will end."

"You are really relieved. If it's too late, I will drag him back!"

Mother Jiang glared at Ji Ruisong and expressed her strong disapproval of his way of letting his son go.

"Xiaohan will graduate from junior high school soon. He still has some sense of propriety. Don't worry."

Ji Ruisong smiled and comforted him. He knew his son's personality.

Although he was a little naughty at ordinary times, he was alsoConsidered to be bold and careful, knowing not to worry his parents.

Jiang Shi was eating while listening to his parents discussing educational policies.

The main character is a kind father and a strict mother.

"Jiang Jiang, how is school recently? Are you keeping up with the studies?"

"Do you understand what the teacher says?"

"Are you used to eating at school?"

After a while, Jiang's mother aimed her sights at her daughter.

A series of questions made Jiang Shi dizzy, and she picked a few less "sensitive" topics to answer.

Slightly build up her "good student" persona.

"I'm done!"

Without waiting for the next wave of bombing from her mother, Jiang Shi gave up his position and fled.

"This child, I just asked..."

Looking at Jiang Shi hiding in her room, Wu Xueqin shook her head helplessly.

Put the brand new royalties into her own small treasury.

Jiang Shi opened the task interface, and the progress of the first pot of gold task rose to 1478/100000.

The extra bit was the pocket money Jiang Shi saved.

Oh, yes, she also lent Ji Han 10 yuan, which should be 1488.

But it was still far from the string of zeros required by the system.

After a short nap, Jiang Shi returned to the study and began her afternoon struggle.

For 5 points of free attributes, she fought hard!

Connect all the foreshadowing and clues together, and finally add a little blank space.

Only by leaving some insignificant suspense can it be easier to write a sequel.

Jiang Shi made his own calculations in his mind.

After a quick browse from beginning to end, Jiang Shi turned to the first page and typed five words at the top.

——"The Silence of the Lambs"

She restored most of the plot in the original work, but slightly improved some of the content.

Changed the focus of the novel from food to suspense.

After all, if it fails to pass the review, it will be a waste of time, and she will not have time to cry.

Finding the avatar of editor Qinglan, Jiang Shi selected a few chapters and sent them to him.

After waiting for a while, there was no reply.

Jiang Shi slapped his head and forgot that today was Saturday and the editor was also resting at home.

This Penguin account is probably for work only, and the other party will have to wait until Monday to work to see it.

Thinking of this, she closed the Penguin interface, opened the browser, and prepared to connect to current affairs news.

By the way, look for a new phone for yourself. If I remember correctly, Pingguo 4 has been released at this time.

But with her savings, she still can't afford it...
