Chapter 704: Have you finished writing the new book?(2/2)
Yu Hansheng waved his hand, "What you are doing is nothing. Compared with your teacher's glorious deeds back then, it is nothing more than a piece of cake."
As soon as they heard about the gossip, the three young men immediately raised their heads and looked at Yu Hansheng with ardent eyes, waiting for him to talk about Yu Dong's gossip.
Don’t like to hear gossip?
Especially Yu Dong’s gossip.
When Yu Hansheng saw the three young people looking at him eagerly, he did not disappoint them. He smiled and said, "When Yu Dong was a child, I sent him to learn Chinese calligraphy for two years, so his handwriting was pretty good. When he was in high school,
There are classmates in the class who write love letters, and they all like to ask him to copy them. At first, this guy helped people copy them honestly, but later he always wanted to help others revise their love letters, and as he revised them, more and more people came to him.
Writing, some people even stopped writing it themselves and left it all to him."
"This guy saw that the love letters he wrote were so popular, so he came up with a weird idea. He started charging and clearly marked the price. The price of writing a love letter is different from copying a love letter. I can't remember how much it cost. Is it copying a love letter?
Two cents, write a letter for fifty cents?"
"Ahem, that's called the polishing fee. It's charged based on the number of words. Copying is 20 cents per word, and if it's less than 20 words, it's 20 cents. Original writing is 2 cents per word..."
"Anyway, it was about the same price. I worked for more than a month. Later, the head teacher came to my home, and my mother and I found out that this guy was doing business in the school. Now it seems that this is not a big deal, but when he was in school,
The school pays special attention to it. After all, money is involved. The teacher caught our parents and gave them a slap in the face. Fortunately, his academic performance is not bad, otherwise he would probably have been punished."
"It's really our fault that we weren't alert enough. He often bought snacks during that time. We thought it was the money he saved from not eating breakfast. Later we found out that he made extra money at school."
This was the first time Cheng Liye heard about this. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "So, Yu Dong has been relying on his pen for a living since he was a child."
Then he changed the topic again, "But the love letters you wrote are so popular, so it seems you have a talent in this area. Did you put a lot of emotion into them?"
Yu Dong waved his hand quickly, "There is no emotion, it's all skills, and they are all words I excerpted from those famous books."
Seeing Yu Dong's hurried explanation, Xu Zechen and the others wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare.
Cheng Liye was naturally joking with Yu Dong and did not continue to discuss this topic. Instead, he asked, "How is your new book going? Your grandfather was still talking about it last night, saying he wanted to read your new book. You
If it is convenient after you finish writing it, show it to the old man, otherwise he will talk about it to me every day."
Yu Dong nodded, "I just finished writing it this morning, and I happened to bring it over. I'll show it to grandpa later."
Cheng Liye looked at the time and said, "It's still early before dinner, so you can send it there now so that he can read it before dinner...it won't be long."
"It's not long, more than 100,000 words."
"Well, I should be able to finish reading it then."
"Okay, I'll send them over now." Yu Dong stood up, then looked at Ruan Xiaohu and the other three, "You three, sit here for a while."
