Chapter 153 The dog is sick again

Chen Luyang quickly said, "Teacher, please stop laughing at me. This isn't a book at all. It's just a small notebook."

Director Wang laughed and said, "If this is a small notebook, then all we have on our bookshelf is scrap paper."

Guo Qiang then said:

"Xiao Chen, your notebook has been appraised by teachers and experts at school. Not only are the expressions correct, but the pronunciation and recitation are also very standard. It is extremely valuable!"

"The school wants to publish this notebook for everyone to learn from."

"Today, several teachers asked you to come here to ask for your consent."

publishing?

Chen Luyang's pupils shrank.

His initial thought was that the provincial university would copy his notes as internal school materials for study.

But I never dared to think that my notes would be published!
"Teacher, I have no problem with publishing the book."

"It's just that many of the pronunciations and punctuation in my notes are written according to my personal pronunciation habits."

"I'm afraid of misleading the students..."

Hearing the words "misleading young people",
Vice Principal Jiang, Guo Qiang, and Director Wang subconsciously looked at each other and then burst into laughter together.

Vice Principal Jiang said happily: "Not really, not really. It won't get to that point."

President Lu of the school's publishing house laughed and said, "As for royalties, the national standard for manuscripts is 3 to 10 yuan per thousand words."

"The school considers your notebook's practical application and high reference value, so we'll give you a price of 10 yuan per thousand words."

"We've checked your notes and they're about 450 words long. We'll give you yuan as the royalties. What do you think?"

Chen Luyang looked at President Lu calmly.

I see what I think...

Ha ha!

The average annual salary these days is only 800 yuan.

He earned more than half a year's salary for most people.
...How about giving it back to him?

"I think it looks good."

Chen Luyang's face flushed red and he clenched his fists, afraid that he would lose control and roar with joy.

"Alright then! That's it!"

Vice Principal Jiang looked at Chen Luyang kindly, his eyes even gentler than the ones Old Hao gave him.

"Sorry for taking up your time, you guys should get busy first."

Vice Principal Jiang said this cheerfully, then stood up and left.

When everyone in the room saw him stand up, they also stood up.

When President Lu passed by Chen Luyang, he specifically instructed:
"Comrade Xiao Chen, don't worry about the royalties for now."

"The principal is away these past two days attending an academic exchange seminar and is not at home."

"Once he comes back and signs the manuscript, we will contact you and give you the royalties."

Chen Luyang quickly said: "Don't worry, don't worry."

Vice President Tan laughed and said, "Comrade Xiao Chen, you are not anxious now, but we are!"

"Once we pay you the royalties, we can publish it quickly."

Everyone laughed.

At this time, Director Wang from the English Department spoke softly.

"Xiao Chen, I heard that you are reviewing and preparing for the exam again?"

Chen Luyang nodded: "Yes, teacher, I didn't pass the exam last year, and I want to try again this year."

Director Wang smiled and asked, "How's your review going? Are your high school courses going well?"

Chen Luyang: "I don't have much time to review. After all, I still have work to do at the factory, so I can only find time to read."

"But Teacher Guo and Teacher Xiao Yu have been helping me all the time."

I heard about the review.
Vice Principal Jiang also stopped and glanced at Guo Qiang, saying seriously:
"Xiao Guo, you must teach well!"

"Good seedlings must be cultivated well!"

"If Xiao Yu doesn't have enough time, find a few more students to help."

Director Wang also spoke up, "Yes, your Materials Department is busy with experiments lately. If you can't spare any help, we have several top students in the English Department."

"Xiao Chen is busy with work right now and is short on time. It would definitely be better to have a teacher to help teach him than to do it all on his own!"

Guo Qiang listened carefully to the words of several senior predecessors and leaders, nodding repeatedly.

Vice Principal Jiang looked at Chen Luyang with a smile:
"Xiao Chen, if you encounter any difficulties in your studies, please let me know."

"We are not good at other things, but we think we are good at studying."

"Okay, let's study."

finished,

Vice Principal Jiang waved at Chen Luyang and led everyone away.

Only Guo Qiang and Chen Luyang were left in the office.

Guo Qiang closed the door and said, "Don't stand there, Teacher Chen. Sit down and have some tea."

Chen Luyang sat down on the sofa as if in a dream, picked up the teacup, tilted his head back and gulped down half a cup of tea.

Calm down for a long time,
suddenly,

Chen Luyang asked anxiously, "Teacher Guo, the notes have been published. What should we do with Teacher Xiao Yu?"

Yu Huichuan was sent abroad on government scholarship and had to take an English test!

He wrote this notebook to help Yu Zhenchuan get a government scholarship abroad. What if the notebook was published and his competitors saw it?
Guo Qiang smiled and said: "They have finished the exam."

Chen Luyang: "How did Teacher Xiaoyu do on the test?"

Guo Qiang: "I don't know. The results haven't come out yet, so no one can say for sure."

This time, someone from the department came to conduct the examination. The process was extremely strict. When Yu Huichuan came out of the examination room, he only said that he had answered all the questions.
But how well you answer depends on how the assessment is judged.

I heard that Yu Huichuan had finished the test,

Chen Luyang felt relieved at first, then he fell into deep thought.
Guo Qiang saw his expression.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chen Luyang was worried: "I was wondering, Teacher Xiaoyu has finished his exams, will he still be able to tutor me?"

Guo Qiang found him just to ask him to tutor Yu Huichuan.

But who could have imagined that the revolution hadn't yet succeeded, and they were already on the verge of landing! Furthermore, we had agreed to make up for the missed class tonight, but Yu Huichuan didn't show up.

Guo Qiang was happy.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Didn't you hear Vice President Jiang and Director Wang just say that even the top student in the English department can teach you?"

Chen Luyang’s thoughts can be forgotten.

If he takes someone's casual remark seriously, he is a big idiot!
The vice-principal and his colleagues said a few nice words, but they were like illusions.

But Teacher Xiao Yu is very real.

"I think Mr. Xiaoyu teaches well and I can understand what he says."

Chen Luyang spoke truthfully.

To be honest, a good teacher is really important.

He was a liberal arts student who fell asleep as soon as he read a chemistry book, but now he can even understand rubber materials.

Most of the credit goes to Yu Huichuan.

Guo Qiang smiled and said, "Don't worry! As long as Xiao Yu is in the country, he will definitely teach you."

Chen Luyang was worried: "What if he goes abroad?"

Guo Qiang raised his eyebrows and said, "He went abroad while I was still here... What? You trust the students but not the teachers?"

Chen Luyang quickly said, "I trust you, I trust you! The key is that you have to teach and help translate for the factory, so where do you have the time?"

Guo Qiang was happy.

"Hey kid, you didn't listen to a word Vice Principal Jiang and Director Wang said just now!"

"They both spoke, what are you worried about?"

Chen Luyang couldn't believe it: "Can they really find someone to teach me?"

Guo Qiang: "Let me put it this way..."

"If you say now that you are not good at Chinese, President Lu will come and teach you in person tomorrow."

Chen Luyang listened with great delight.

Believe it or not is one thing,

But whether you are happy or not is another matter!
Plus I will have a huge income of 450 yuan soon,

Chen Luyang picked up the cup and drank the remaining tea.

He stood up and said goodbye to Guo Qiang.

Guo Qiang was surprised: "Why are you leaving? Are you not taking extra classes anymore?"

Chen Luyang said solemnly: "My mind is in a mess today, I won't make up for it, I'll give myself a break!"

finished,

While Guo Qiang was wondering "What is Dao Heart?", Chen Luyang went home with his bag and chest held high.

夜

The Chen family courtyard was quiet.

Suddenly, a strange laugh pierced the darkness, and the laughter sounded "Haha, haha"!

Even the old hen that was sleeping soundly in the chicken coop was frightened by the noise. She flapped her wings and lowered her head to peck at a few bites of the cabbage to calm herself down.

"Brother, can you please stop laughing?! It's scary!"

Chen Lingling's angry voice came from the next room.

That night, Chen Luyang was like he was possessed by a ghost. He laughed every now and then.

Not to mention Chen Lingling, even Chen's father was frightened awake several times.

"This bastard is sick again tonight!"

Father Chen turned over and touched his little heart.

In the darkness, Father Chen looked at Mother Chen.

Mother Chen was sleeping soundly with her mouth open, one foot sticking out of the quilt, as if she had heard nothing.

"Both mother and daughter are equally heartless..."

Father Chen got up and covered Mother Chen with the quilt, then lay back on the kang.

Haven't even fallen asleep yet,

Chen's mother seemed to feel too hot, so she turned over and rolled the quilt under her body, rolling up the quilt from Chen Dazhi.

Listening to my spouse's snoring,

Chen Dazhi moved to his mother's back very skillfully, pulled a corner of the quilt to cover his belly button, and then fell asleep.

Early the next morning,
Chen Luyang opened the door of the room with great energy, humming a little tune as he prepared to fetch water to wash his face.

After a while, the door of the main room opened.

Chen Lingling walked out with a sad face and dragging her shoes sleepily.

"You say you're a grown-up girl, but you don't even lift your feet when you walk. How can you be so lazy?"

"Shut up! It's all because of you!"

Chen Lingling glared at Chen Luyang fiercely.

Chen Luyang was stunned: "Blame me? What's wrong with me?"

Chen Lingling was furious: "How dare you say that! I was sleeping soundly last night, and you were laughing so hard that you woke me up several times!"

Chen Luyang: …???
"I'm happy? How come I don't know? Junjun, is your uncle happy?"

Junjun rubbed his eyes: "I didn't hear it."

Mother Chen walked out of the yard: "What are you guys talking about?"

Chen Luyang: "Mom, Xiaoling said I smiled in my sleep last night. Did I smile?"

Mother Chen: "You're laughing? What yesterday?"

Father Chen came out in slippers and said helplessly:
"...Ask your mother what she could hear! That year, the hailstorm nearly broke through the chicken coop, and your mother was still lying there sleeping!"

After a pause, Father Chen looked at Chen Luyang.
"What's wrong with you? What's going on recently?"

Chen Luyang lied with his eyes wide open: "No!"

Mother Chen glanced at him and said, "Not yet...just keep pretending. You've been lying since you were little."
