Lu Menglin replied with a smile: "I'm too lazy to attend the next two PE classes, so I'll come back to catch up on sleep. Mom, is my dad coming back for dinner today? Cooking so early?"

"That's right! It's rare for your dad to come home for dinner today, and I'm thinking about making some good dishes!" Mother Lu smiled while putting on her apron.

"Oh! Then I came back just in time, and I have a good time again! What good food do you have today?" Lu Menglin asked cheerfully.

"You just know how to eat! You have to take physical education class too! Exercise is also good! By the way, Menglin, have you heard something? It is rumored in our workshop that there is a student in one of your middle schools." Published a novel in a magazine and earned hundreds of royalties at once!"

"Oh, I heard!" Lu Menglin said with a cheerful smile.

Mother Lu sighed with a relaxed expression on her face, "It's better to study! You can earn hundreds of dollars by just writing something. We worked hard in the factory for a month and only earned a few hundred dollars."

"They are all the same age, you have to learn from them, study hard, and earn a lot of money in the future, understand?" Mother Lu said to her son in such a serious tone.

Lu Menglin laughed and replied, "Got it! Mom, I will study hard. But I don't need to learn from him!"

"He's so capable! You can earn hundreds of dollars just by using a pen at a young age, why don't you learn from him? You must be modest, you kid, you know?" Lu's mother probably envied his child for a long time. That's why it's rare for him to lecture his son with such earnestness and earnestness.

Lu Menglin picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and then smiled slowly: "Of course I don't need to learn from him, because I am him!"

Lu's mother hadn't heard clearly at first, she was taken aback for a while, and then she saw her son's half-hearted smile, and suddenly she came to her senses.

"Son, what are you talking about? Don't tease your mother!" Mother Lu spoke half-jokingly and half-seriously. Even if she heard it with her own ears, she couldn't believe it. That outstanding child from another family is her own son. .

"That's right! I wrote that novel, and it has already been published. This is a sample issue. Also, the manuscript fee is not just a few hundred dollars, but more than 3000 dollars!" Lu Menglin said with a smile.

There was a bang, and the spatula in Lu's mother's hand fell to the floor in shock, jumping up and down a few times, just like her mother's mood at the moment.

"What?" Lu's mother didn't care to pick up the spatula, but rushed to her son in big strides, her eyes fixed on the magazine on the table and the remittance notice for manuscript fees.

Lu Menglin opened the catalog, pointed to the place where his name was marked, and handed it to his mother.

Mother Lu looked at the name of her son printed in typeface, and suddenly didn't know whether to be elated or cry with joy.

"This, this, this is you!" Mother Lu stammered, with tears in her eyes.

When she saw the number on the remittance slip, her blurred eye sockets suddenly brightened again, and she looked at the slip again and again, pressing it tightly to her chest.

Compared with the 3000 yuan, the mother is of course happier that her son is doing well.It seemed that overnight, his son grew up, giving himself a surprise beyond expectations.

"Mom, where is my ID card? I need to bring my ID card to withdraw money." Seeing his mother's excited appearance, Lu Menglin was also very happy in his heart, and asked casually.

"Oh, oh! Here I am! No, how can you withdraw such a large sum of money as a child! Let your father go with you later." Mother Lu immediately became nervous when she heard that her son was going to withdraw money. .

You know, although the 3000 yuan in this era is not an astronomical figure, it is definitely not a small amount of money. It is equivalent to one-fifth of the Lu family's savings, and it is equivalent to Lu Menglin's tuition fees for half a year in college.

"Okay! Let my dad go with me tomorrow. There is another thing. There is an invitation letter that comes with the sample. They want to invite me to the annual meeting of "Science Fiction World". I would like to ask for a few days off. God, let's go there." Lu Menglin said.

"What annual meeting? Show me, it's not a lie, right?" Mother Lu became nervous again when she heard these words.

Lu Menglin handed the invitation letter in his hand to his mother. This is the annual meeting invitation letter from "Science Fiction World" to new authors.

Mother Lu flipped the invitation letter over and over again, then suddenly raised her head, and asked happily, "Did you go to this meeting, and you will be a writer in the future?"

"Uh...not necessarily, but attending this annual meeting should be able to see the world. Last year they invited a lot of celebrities in the science fiction world, and this year shouldn't be too bad."

"Son, when you tell mom these things, mom doesn't understand. But mom will definitely support you. If you don't have enough money, mom will pay you! But mom is very worried about you going far away alone! It says you're going to Beijing!" Mother Lu said with a concerned face.

The mother and son were talking when the sound of keys turning came from outside the door.

"I'm back!" With a loud and powerful voice, it was his father Lu Youshan who came back.

As soon as Lu Youshan entered the door, he saw his wife and son sitting at the coffee table, and he couldn't help being happy.

"It's pretty neat! I said I'll talk to Menglin when he comes back tonight! Just in time, let's have a family meeting, and I have something to say." Lu Youshan spoke quickly and yelled as soon as he entered the door.

Lu's mother gave her husband a hard look, and said angrily, "Your matter is important? Our mother and I have something to discuss with you! Sit down first!"

"What's the matter? Why don't you talk about it after I finish talking?" Lu Youshan was dumbfounded by his wife's words, with a suspicious expression on his face.

In his eyes, what could happen to his wife and children!They are all trivial things, and only my own affairs are the big ones.

Chapter 38 Changes

"Menglin, are you causing trouble outside?" Lu Youshan subconsciously added and asked.

Lu Menglin just laughed and said nothing, but Lu's mother couldn't hold back anymore, she stepped forward and grabbed her husband's thick waist, and shouted: "You know how to cause trouble, so you can't think about our son's good!"

"It hurts, it hurts! You bitch, just tell me what's going on! Don't, don't do anything!" Lu Youshan was most afraid of being grabbed by the waist, so he begged for mercy.

Lu's mother grabbed two more times, and then said with a bright eyebrow: "This time your son is promising! The whole factory is a sensation! Do you know? A novel he wrote was published in a magazine, and the manuscript fee alone More than 3000!"

"What?" Lu Youshan didn't react all of a sudden, and was stunned.

He doesn't know much about magazines and novels, but he is very sensitive to numbers. The manuscript fee is more than 3000, which is equivalent to four months of his salary. Just this kid?What novel are you writing?

"Look for yourself! This is the sample issue sent by the magazine, and there is also a remittance slip for the manuscript fee. The magazine even invited your son to a meeting in Beijing!"

"It's me who gave birth to such a good son, you're such a fool, hum!" Mother Lu puffed out her chest proudly and said loudly.

While being suspicious, Lu Youshan picked up the sample magazines and remittance slips on the coffee table, looked at them carefully, and then opened "Science Fiction World", carefully reading the pages containing Lu Menglin's novels.

Seeing his father's solemnity, Lu Menglin couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, for fear that his father would see some clues, because he was a reborn person after all, and many of the new viewpoints in this article came from later generations. not come out.

After a while, Lu Youshan finally closed the magazine, looked at his son with a complicated expression, shook his head and smiled wryly: "My son has grown up, I can't understand what he wrote."

Hearing these words, Lu Menglin felt guilty and let out a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you write these things, you can't delay your studies! After all, your current priority is the college entrance examination, and you will have a brighter future only if you are admitted to university!" Lu Youshan sighed earnestly.

Lu Menglin nodded, took out the report card from his schoolbag, and put it on the coffee table.

"I'm about to tell you about this! This is my report card for this monthly exam, No.10 in the class, and I should still have a lot of room for improvement. The next exam will only be better than this time .” Lu Menglin said lightly.

Lu Youshan and his wife were stunned at the same time, they reached for the report card on the coffee table almost at the same time, and then they simply picked up the report card together.

"A total score of 507? Has my son scored 500?" Lu Youshan shouted excitedly.

Compared with publishing novels in magazines, Lu Youshan obviously paid more attention to the improvement of his son's grades. Being able to break through the 500 mark means that after another year of hard work in the third year of high school, his son may be admitted to university.

"Good boy! You gave me and your mother a surprise without saying a word! Tell me, what reward do you want?" Lu Youshan asked happily.

Seeing his parents so happy, Lu Menglin felt equally happy in his heart. In his last life, he made them worry too much, and being able to keep them happy is the meaning of his rebirth!

"Dad, I don't want anything. Do you remember the promise I made with you last time?" Lu Menglin smiled.

Last time, just outside the cadre building community, the two father and son agreed that if Lu Menglin's monthly test scores improved, Lu Youshan would not sign the agreement, and he would not be the manager of the Guangdong Regional Operations Department.

"Haha! I won't mention the past, I'm so happy today, I have to give you some real rewards! Tell me, what do you want? I'll buy you whatever you want!" Lu Youshan laughed.
