Chapter 76 Do you know why?

"I was just browsing around and I didn't expect to see my book." Mao Sanning held two books and said, "Since you have seen them, everyone can have a copy. By the way, if you want the author's signature, I can reluctantly start writing."

With such a smug look, Mao Sanning's mouth was pouting like a fish.

But it is true that we should be proud of it. Among the resident writers of "Years of Reasoning", the probability of publishing a book is only 50%.

"Wouldn't it be too reluctant to sign it?" Gu Lu took the book.

"Nanhai Publishing House is amazing. How are the sales?" Bian Long looked around, his envy evident in his words.

"The sales are OK. About 80,000 copies were sold in the first month after launch," Mao Sanning said. "It's just a passable number."

"If it sells more than 100,000 copies, it will be a bestseller." Bian Long said, "I don't know when I can publish a book."

"According to the current standards of the publishing industry, a book with a sales volume of 150,000 copies is considered a bestseller," Mao Sanning said. "We still need to work harder."

Later, when the physical industry was sluggish, a book that sold 20,000 copies in the first month was already a bestseller. Gu Lu admitted that he was a little jealous and began to think, could Mr. Holmes be published?
If published, how many sales will it have?

"That's not right. If it comes to sales, I might as well look forward to "The Little Prince." Gu Lu pondered.

Showing his divine power in front of others made people feel refreshed. Mao Sanning no longer felt sore in his waist or legs. He also became generous and treated the two of them to roasted corn.

The three of them returned to the hotel slowly. Gu Lu washed up and lay down on the bed to rest.

Unlike the writers who can have fun, today Han Bian and others started working.

The proofreading of the first volume of "Mr. Holmes" was completed, and Gu Lu received nearly 10,000 yuan in royalties.

There is one more thing I haven't mentioned about today's shopping. Gu Lu bought a smart phone, the Xiaomi 1 that came out last year, for 1999 RMB. Although its functions are still not perfect, it can be used to log into Penguin account, create documents, type, play Fruit Ninja, etc.

As for iPhone 4s and 5, Gu Lu felt that they were too expensive, and he was not an Apple fan.

After traveling through time, for the first time without using DreamNet to log into his QQ, Gu Lu clicked on the group of "Class Five Big Family".

[Dancing Like a Startled Swan (Zhao Juan): I don’t want to go to the military training. I’m so tired.

Grades are nothing but clouds (Chen Xue): Then don’t go.

Mei Zhi Jian Xia (Wang Han): Military training is still quite useful.

崶杺鎻嬡(Wang Wenjun): What’s the point of military training? We don’t have military training in our school.

06 (Zhang Yudong): Damn, are you an idiot? Technical secondary schools also have to undergo military training.

06: Check out my QQ Show. Isn’t it awesome?

崶杺鎻嬡: Damn, how did you light up the red diamond icon?
...]
Every time Gu Lu looked at the group name, he felt a sense of anachronism. It was like "Grades are nothing but clouds", which should have been derived from the ancient Internet meme "Everything is nothing but clouds", but it was popular at the moment.

There was also the lighting up of icons. In his previous life, he had studied it frantically in order to light up more icons.

The group is lively every day, I really hope it can always be lively.

Through the chat records in the group, I got a glimpse of the development curve of my classmates. Zhang Yudong was sent to the private Wudu Second Foreign Language School by his parents.

As for the other members of the Park Alliance, Wang Hongming went to Chongqing High School as an art student, while Xiaotian and Chen Xue went to technical secondary school.

After entering technical secondary school, Fan Xiaotian, who had no pressure to go to higher education, was like a wild horse that had run away from its reins. He often read novels all night long. Gu Lu even reminded him a few times and asked him to take care of his health.

[翩若惊鸿舞: I heard that the management of No. 3 Middle School is very strict, so scary. ]
Zhao Juan sent a message, Gu Lu thought about it and said that compared to Yan's words, No. 8 Middle School should be more exaggerated, right?

Chatting...

Time is not actually constant. According to reliable research, the flow rate during holidays is three times that of non-holidays.

The summer vacation is over in a blink of an eye, and No. 8 Middle School will conduct military training on August 24th.

Gu Lu, who had just returned home from Ice City two days ago, received a call from his father. "You haven't been home for a whole day and night, where have you been?"

The moment the call was connected, I was scolded.

"Do you still know that you are a student?"

The anger value was at least three plus signs, and Gu Lu finished his attack quietly.

He said indifferently, "Dad, you're back? You came back early this time, only forty days. Don't you usually come back in fifty or sixty days?"

It was like pouring a basin of ice water on him. Father Gu on the other end of the phone instantly became angrier. "I'm busy working outside. Do you think I'm playing? If I don't work, what will you eat? How will you go to school?"

"I didn't say I wasn't busy with work?" Gu Lu said.

There were so many words stuck in his throat. Why was Mr. Gu suddenly so emotional? Because he was right. He was supposed to stay out for a week or two, but yesterday Ms. Zheng Yanfei called him and scolded him.

That's why Gu's father remembered that he still had a child, so he pretended to be dead and went home. Gu Lu didn't come home for a whole day.

How should I put it? Father Gu is not careful. If he takes a closer look at the hygiene of the room and the clothes in the closet, he should be able to analyze more.

"Come back soon. Don't think you're anything special just because you can write a few essays." Father Gu took out his own emotions of being scolded on the child.

"I won't be back today. I'll come back tomorrow." Gu Lu said, "It's just right that I'm back. I have something to tell you tomorrow."

"you……"

Gu Lu hung up the phone right after he finished speaking. He was in a good mood and hummed a song, "You are looking at the lonely scenery, escaping from the memories of me. Hmm... What song is this? I forgot the lyrics at the end."

Very angry, Gu's father looked at his phone and decided to wait for Gu Lu to come home tomorrow to teach him a lesson and let him know why the flowers are so red!

The next day, Gu Lu took the physical examination report from the hospital and went home to prepare for the confrontation.

When we arrived at the house in the lock area, it was around ten o'clock, close to noon.

Gu Lu opened the door with the key and just as he closed it, a stern male voice came out, "Do you still know where home is?!"

It was Gu's father who spoke. He stood in the small living room with a serious expression on his face. If you looked closely, you could see bloodshot in his eyes. Maybe he didn't sleep well the night before, or maybe he felt uncomfortable without the alcohol.

Judging from the situation, it is clear that they are going to launch an attack to hold someone accountable!

"Home? Is this home? Why can't I see it?" Gu Lu suddenly asked three questions in a row, catching his father off guard.

"You..." Father Gu was interrupted by Gu Lu just as he opened his mouth for a word.

He interrupted, "Dad, we started military training today. Do you know why I didn't go?"

Father Gu thought the first half of the sentence was an explanation, but the second half was a question. He shook his head and looked at Gu Lu.

"Because I have gastric erosion and hypoglycemia, the doctor does not recommend military training for me." Gu Lu handed over the physical examination report.

Gu Lu asked again: "Then Dad, do you know why I have stomach erosion and low blood sugar?"

Regardless of Gu's father's response, Gu Lu answered his own question, "Because I have been eating irregularly for a long time. Oh no, that's too euphemistic. I haven't had enough food for a long time. I was hungry. I was malnourished originally, but I have recovered a little in the past two or three months."

"Dad, do you want to know why I haven't had enough food for a long time?" Gu Lu said directly, "Because I don't have living expenses and there is no rice at home."

The hand holding the medical report was shaking. Gu's father's momentum of accusing him was completely gone. He asked back confidently, "There is no money or rice at home, why don't you ask me for it?"

"I can't get through to you, Dad," Gu Lu said, "Then, in your opinion, how many times have you given me living expenses? How many times have you transferred money from the card you opened for me?"

Gu Lu looked at his father and said, "I come back once every fifty or sixty days, and I give you 10 to 20 yuan each time on average. Or do you think, Dad, I am still young and I can live on 10 to 20 yuan?"

The call of "Dad" now seems a bit harsh to Mr. Gu.
