When Chen Yuan finished her work, she saw Liu Chuan standing aside and watching the children playing games attentively.
"Mr. Liu?"
Chen Yuan tentatively shouted.
Liu Chuan immediately came back to his senses: "Hello Teacher Chen, I am here to give you the first issue of the manuscript fee. Two thousand and five copies have been sold. The total is 1,800 yuan."
He finished . I heard the children behind him whispering exclaimed: "So many?"
Liu Chuan looked at the children so surprised and smiled: "Yes, you have to study hard now. When you grow up, you will be able to do so. Earn so much money."
Dabao Erbao Niuniu and the other children stared wide, watching Liu Chuan take out a stack of old man's banknotes from his purse and handed it to Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan touched the thickness with her hand, and then stuffed it into her pocket. It was considered that this was the most money she had made through the journey, so hard work was not in vain. Among the children, except for the concept of money that Niuniu doesn't understand, other children have long understood what so much money means. They have never seen so much money before, and the sum of their family's salary may only be two or three. The old man has so many heads. And now that Teacher Chen made so much money at once, it really made them envious, and they also felt that it was too easy to make money. Dabao Erbao didn't think so. They looked at the expressions of other children and suddenly said seriously: "My second aunt can make so much money because she is talented and has put in a lot of hard work. We play games. She thought of it all. She is definitely not as smart as an individual, nor can she think of such a good thing, nor can she publish English books, so she deserves the money she earns, so we have to study harder. , There are talents as talented as my second aunt." The children admired Chen Yuan very much. Hearing what Dabao said, they all nodded heavily: "You are right. Teacher Chen is our role model. When I grow up, I also want to be a talented person like her."
"Yeah, let's continue to study."
"Okay, I really want to study."
"Learning makes me happy!" The
children went back to the desk together, actively picked up the books and started to read.
This series of behaviors, from Liu Chuan's entrance to the present, he found that Chen Yuan hadn't disciplined the children at all, and the children could learn by themselves. This awareness was completely cultivated.
Liu Chuanguang knows that Chen Yuan's book can help children develop their own interest in learning, but he has not actually seen the effect. He just listened to the bookstore owner and the parents of the students who praised the effect of the book everywhere. But today, seeing is believing and it is true. What he actually saw was even more shocking. He felt that there was an invisible and intangible magic in Chen Yuan.
He is now more determined to continue to cooperate with Chen Yuan.
"Ms. Chen, can I talk to you about the second set of "How to Learn English"? I think your English book has great potential and hope to cooperate again."
Chen Yuan feels that this cooperation is going well, and The second set of English books does not take much effort to write. When the time comes, you can write them directly, and decisively agree: "No problem."
"Great, we will discuss in detail when we wait for specific things." The
second set of English books, The difficulty should be increased and the type of study should be increased. After the first book is bought, it will take a long time to turn over and adjust it. Sooner or later, it will be troublesome to read, so we still have to add new things to them.
When Liu Chuan was sent away, the family was calm again.
The children who came to make up lessons at night, and Shen Mingyuan also went back.
Only Dabao and Erbao are still lying on the table to do their homework. Speaking of them, they seem to have grown a lot taller recently, and they feel that the stool and the table are a little mismatched.
Because Chen Yuan hadn't noticed before, the desks and chairs used now are of the same model. They are all wood and cannot be adjusted in size. Such desks and chairs look very strong and durable, and they are all used in schools. It's really good to use it for a short period of time, but after a long time of use, children will feel a little tired when sitting on it, and they can't help but lean forward or tilt their bodies. Even if the children are corrected, they will quickly involuntarily become crooked, and the posture will be unsightly after a long time. Their bones are just when they are growing. Poor sitting posture is likely to cause kyphotic bone deformation. Imagine that Dabao Erbao Niuniu will look like a hunchback in the future, which is definitely not very beautiful. Chen Yuan paid attention, and she must design a multi-functional children's study table and chair for them, and while thinking about it, she drew the design drawings on the paper. Shen Huai took a fish home from get off work, entered the door and hung up his clothes, put the fish in the kitchen, and walked quietly to the study, fearing that his footsteps would disturb the children's study and Chen Yuan's work. He also prefers to stay quietly, just watching them so quietly, enjoying the beauty and tranquility, before long he turned around and went to the kitchen to make a fish-tofu soup. Shen Huai's cooking skills are far worse than Chen Yuan's, but he is also carefully observing the gradual narrowing of the gap between the cooking skills. Now cooking soup and cooking are decent, and occasionally he can receive praise from his family. . After finishing the meal, Shen Huai asked the children to eat, and saw that Chen Yuan hadn't finished her work. He walked gently beside her and looked at the content. He was surprised to find that Chen Yuan was not writing English today. Content, but drawing and designing drawings of tables and chairs. The complex craftsmanship above looks breathtaking, and every part is exquisite, as if it were tailor-made. Looking down at Chen Yuan's side, there are already a lot of waste paper balls piled up. It seems that she should have painted many times and selected the best version to appear at a level.
Chen Yuan seemed to find the problem difficult, as if there was a problem on a certain figure, she was not satisfied with the final result no matter how she painted, and scratched her head annoyedly: "Hey, no, let's start over."
Shen Huai knew that Chen Yuan was. Extremely perfectionism, he is extremely demanding of himself, and no mistakes are allowed. He has no way to change, and he can only say in a low voice: "Actually, I feel that your paintings are already very good. In fact, there is no need to compete with myself."
Chen Yuan pretended to be helpless under her head: "My hands are so painful and so tired. I haven't been able to paint for so long, and I don't know when I can finish it."
Shen Huai said, "Come slowly, it will always be possible. After finishing the painting, is there anything I can do to help?"
Chen Yuan blinked her big weak eyes when she heard this, and looked at him: "Are you really willing to help? That's great, I'm right If you want to, you can help me draw the parts."
Shen Huai nodded and agreed, but said honestly: "I have never painted before. Can you do it?"
"Of course, I say you can do it , you must do it."
Shen Huai was also very happy to hear that Chen Yuan was busy for a while, picked up a pencil and started to imitate the parts on the paper according to Chen Yuan's instructions.
The corners of Chen Yuan's lips evoked a curve in the hidden place. This is really useful. If she has super ability and talent every time, she is too easy to be suspected by Shen Huai, who lives under one roof. .
Therefore, she had to draw out each drawing several times, and deliberately showed that the others were scraps, and then deliberately showed weakness, indicating that her ability was average, and she had only worked hard for a long time to reach the level. In this way, she can perfectly show that she is actually not that bad. She also has the side of ordinary people's mistakes. She pulls Shen Huai into the water and witnesses the birth of multifunctional tables and chairs. In this way, under his nose, it is also something he has constructed one by one, and he has half the credit for success, so he will never doubt himself.
"This kind of desk and chair is what I saw in an engineering book before. It seems that sitting should be very comfortable. Dabao Erbao is already very tired from studying. If it is hunched, it will have an impact on the future of the child. , So it suddenly occurred to me that this might be useful. I have forgotten about it. I don't know if I can make it. Let's try my luck."
Chen Yuan said, thinking about things in distress, Shen Huai is a layman in this regard, but he thinks that Chen Yuan's paintings are all very beautiful, and he has been admiring them all the time.
"I think your idea is right. You can continue to draw according to this drawing."
The sketch Shen Huai was holding was the original outline of the multifunctional desk and chair. Chen Yuan had already painted it as rough as possible, but it was still very special. It's beautiful, and such a rough style of painting still can't conceal its style. It can be imagined that this is a very beautiful set of tables and chairs.
"After eating, we were painting together." After the
two couples and the children had dinner, the children were allowed to rest tonight, and went to watch cartoons to relax and relax.
Chen Yuan and Shen Huai returned to the study to continue their huge drawing project.
Shen Huai does not know how to paint, but he does not deny that he is a kind of higher talent among human beings. After Chen Yuan's basic teaching, he has already begun to paint.
He started with the most basic screw nut. After finishing the painting, he felt a little ugly, so he was embarrassed to show it to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan wanted to see it, and Shen Huai had to pass it to her, ready to be criticized.
In the end, Chen Yuan said very positively: "
Good
drawing ! Shen Huai, you are such a genius!" "It's so beautiful, so good." "The lines are more perfect than what I have drawn."
"I think you are especially suitable for this bowl of rice. ."
Shen Huai's whole person who was praised was a bit blinded, deeply doubting whether he was really so powerful? Looking at Chen Yuan's incomparably "sincere" eyes, he worked harder and harder to draw design drawings. Whenever Chen Yuan praised him, how could this voice be so beautiful?
When the two of them drew the draft in the middle of the night, they finally completed a small part of the design drawings.
Chen Yuan is very satisfied with this speed. After all, she is now a human and not a printer. Humans should have the speed of humans. Therefore, she has to work slowly and carefully. Shenhuai is still full of energy after working in the middle of the night. This may have verified that sentence. Not tired to live.
"By the way, show this drawing to the third child tomorrow. Didn't he learn carpentry work? If he can do it, let him make the tables and chairs."
