Chapter 1189 The wonderful father arrives (twenty-six)
Growing up in front of his strong father since childhood, living in the shadow of his father everywhere. Nie Mingcheng is only afraid of a strong man like his father, but not much rejection.
What's more, he even relies on it deep down.
Because Nie Mingcheng is very self-aware, he is weak and cowardly, and it is difficult for him to support a family by relying solely on himself.
Compared to being the leader of the family, he is actually more willing to be a person around a strong man.
There is no need to stand out or be tough on your own. As long as you are obedient, you can have a safe and good life... Why not do it?
Before getting married, a strong father relies on him, and after getting married, and with a capable and smart wife to take care of him, this is the best life for Nie Mingcheng.
So, when he found that Ma Xiufen looked a little like his biological father, he not only did not feel disgusted, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of stability. He even looked forward to the union of the two!
Nie Ming fell in love with Ma Xiufen, a beautiful girl, at first sight, and then discovered more and more "advantages" of her, and he didn't want to miss this good wife.
After hesitating for several days, Nie Mingcheng finally came to Annie slowly.
"Dad, I, I was rejected by the newspaper again!"
Nie Mingcheng held a thick letter, lowered his head, and said in a little frustrated manner.
"Just retreat, what does it have to do with me?"
Annie held her little grandson Liangliang and taught him to write big characters step by step.
This is the son of Nie Jinxiu and Liu Aimin, who is just five years old this year.
Nie's mother would live in the Liu family because of him.
At that time, Nie Jinxiu was pregnant and her fetal appearance was not very stable. She and Liu Aimin had to go to work, and there was not even a person cooking at home.
The parents of the Liu family are all in their hometown, more than a thousand miles away from the county town. Liu Aimin's sister-in-law had just given birth to a child, and Liu's mother was serving her eldest daughter-in-law's confinement period, so she couldn't come at all.
Nie Jinxiu discussed with Liu Aimin and brought Nie's mother from her hometown.
Nie's mother was a gentle and meticulous person, and she felt sorry for her daughter. She took great care of Nie Jinxiu. Nie Jinxiu was smooth and she spent her pregnancy smoothly.
Later, when the child was born, Liu's mother still couldn't come to serve the confinement period, so she didn't have to think about raising children or something.
Nie's mother simply stayed up, took care of the children, and helped her daughter and son-in-law do housework, so that the two children could work hard outside without any worries.
Not long after, Nie Yongsheng was released from prison. Because Nie's mother was in the Liu family, he also lived there.
Then there was a restaurant incident, and Liu Aimin felt that his father-in-law was capable and reliable... In this way, Nie Yongsheng and Nie's mother stayed in the Liu family.
Liangliang was raised by Nie's mother. In the past two or three years, Nie Yongsheng has helped him in enlightenment, so the little guy has a very deep relationship with his grandparents.
At this moment, the little guy was sitting obediently at the stone table in the yard, holding a small children's brush in his chubby little hand, practicing calligraphy on a stack of old newspapers.
Annie looked at Liangliang carefully and practiced writing. For Nie Mingcheng who came up to speak, she even had a look of her eyes.
Nie Mingcheng was a little embarrassed and his face turned red, but when he thought of Ma Xiufen and the manuscript he had been rejected, he still held back his shame and anger and said humbly, "Dad, I wrote this article very carefully. Like the article I published in the Times last time, they were all praises for the soldiers. I read it carefully several times and felt that the two articles were written almost the same. How--"
The previous article was successfully published, but this article was rejected?
Annie sighed in her heart, alas, this son, say he is stupid, he is really not stupid.
But he is smart, but he is silly.
When was the previous article?
On the eve of August 1st, various articles praising the main theme are a good time to publish.
This type of article is time-sensitive. Now that the August 1st section has passed, it is inappropriate for you to write such articles!
"Dad, I really can't figure it out, and I don't know what's wrong with the requirements. Why don't you help me see?"
Although Nie Mingcheng was unhappy, he had to admit that his own father was greedy for money, but he was a truly capable person.
After failing to submit more than a dozen times, Nie Mingcheng began to summarize his experiences and lessons.
Then he remembered that when he first submitted his article, his article was picked up by his own father a lot, and he revised it strictly according to his own father's requirements, so he was successfully published!
His writing style has always been like that, and Nie Mingcheng has compared it before and after, and his subsequent writing style has improved a lot.
But the article was still rejected, so it was not a matter of writing style. It was very likely that it had not been given guidance and correction from my own father!
"I'll help you see?"
After hearing this, Annie finally raised her head and glanced at him lightly, "I said, no one owes you-" No one is obliged to help you for free! If you want me to help, you must pay the price!
Nie Mingcheng had long known that his father would not help for free, but after all, he was a father and son, so at least he should have face and feelings.
There is no need to be so straightforward in these pure exchanges of interests.
Nie Mingcheng complained in his heart, but did not dare to complain. He even nodded obediently, "Dad, I know, I understand all of this. Don't worry, I won't let you help me in vain."
Nie Mingcheng thought about all these before he came to find Annie.
He even had a "share" method, "Dad, do you think this is OK? Please help me guide the composition once. If it is successfully published, I will give you 20% of the reward after receiving the royalties."
"No, it must be half!" Annie said unceremoniously.
Nie Mingcheng's forehead twitched, knowing that his father regarded wealth as his life, but when he saw him like this, Nie Mingcheng was still a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and made a plan in advance. Taking a deep breath, Nie Mingcheng began to bargain, "Dad, I am your own son. For the sake of father-son family affection, you can at least leave me a little. One quarter? Will it be better?"
"I just think you are my son, so I helped you. Otherwise, I would write it myself, and the manuscript fee is mine, and I still lack the time to write an article? Or can I not write it?"
“…”
"One-thirds price! If you don't agree, then forget it. If you have time to worry about it, I might as well teach us Liangliang to write big characters and practice the accordion." Anne looked at her grandson lovingly, as if she was the child she liked the most and valued the most.
Humph, it sounds so nice, I really think you are a good grandpa if you don’t know.
Actually, aren’t you still greedy for the benefits given by your fifth sister?
Yes, the fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law are easy to talk to, and they are the most generous. If your father finds a reason, they will give money.
It is indeed easier to take care of Liangliang by his own father than to guide him to write articles to make money!
Nie Mingcheng was complaining in his heart, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, but he still wanted to squeeze out a smile, "Okay, then do as you want."
When a person is under the roof, he has to bow his head. Whoever makes him unable to do it himself must have a father to help him.
