"The child may not be accepted by the aunt next time, and it will take a long time before it will be accepted."
"why?"
"Because, in the past, the newspaper would include some good articles and some life-like articles, but recently, we may have to change the course, and we must focus on some political news, and pay attention to it in real time."
My heart was suspended all of a sudden, and I felt unprecedented oppression, which made me feel unable to breathe, as if the thin monkey had been imprisoned.
Because I heard a particularly loud noise from my aunt, I didn't want to disturb her, so I disconnected the phone.
Isn't this just cutting off the thin monkey's source of income?
What should the thin monkey do now? The thin monkey doesn't want to leave the village either.
Does he really want to be locked here for the rest of his life?
The irony is that this reminds me of the secret between me and him, a secret about his talent, a secret that is not told to everyone, it seems that before the end, it has already indicated that it is about to disappear.
Although the one-time remuneration is quite generous because of the acquaintance, but after all, I can only help the thin monkey in this year, so how can I feel that it is too much It is far from enough
Just after many days of melancholy, the courier arrived.
When taking over, there is always the meaning of the last express delivery.
Auntie sends the manuscript fee by remittance registered mail each time.
Because there are two articles, the total amount of money is 1,700 yuan.
And still sent a sample of the newspaper.
The typesetting position of the two manuscripts is placed in a less conspicuous place than before, which may be the pavement made by the aunt for the next change of the newspaper.
Thin monkeys probably don't care too much, I think. The mood swings caused by this typesetting change should not matter to him. I hope.
I think, if the money is handed over to the thin monkey, he will definitely hide it like a treasure.
How can I tell him the fact that my aunt no longer intends to accept it.
Thinking of this, the sincere expression and the joy of getting the newspaper will appear in my mind.
I always feel guilty, and my heart is very painful.
The thing that makes me feel even more heartbroken is that the article about me is also on it. Shouhou, a person who is not very good at expressing, has indeed written so much for me.
And what I can do is not that there are so few problems, but that I may not be able to do it anymore.
I carefully put the money and newspaper proofs into my pocket, not going to find him right away.
Because the day before, I saw the thin monkey, and I greeted him, and he responded, but for some reason, he showed some resistance and shyness, maybe it was my illusion.
When I got back to the house, I looked at the photos I took with Shouhou at that time.
I carefully recalled many things related to him, meaningful things, and unconsciously remembered the feeling that I didn't know why when he saw his article was printed in the newspaper and hugged me that day.
Still decided, go and give him this gift now.
As forhe may want to contribute an article to fulfill Grandpa's wish, I plan to muddle through first.
Today is almost evening, when I went, the thin monkey and grandpa were eating.
"Teacher He is here!"
Before I came, I specially prepared this surprise and wrapped it in a beautiful wrapping paper.
"What did you take?"
The thin monkey saw me, smiled at me, and then went to get the bowl.
"I only eat a little bit."
The thin monkey just paused in the air.
"okay."
He said.
I really don't have much appetite to eat, and my heart is very heavy, ten thousand reluctant and unbearable.
I sat down slowly.
The complexion is a bit heavy.
So much so that the thin monkey and grandpa stopped their chopsticks.
"Teacher He, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, I'm here to surprise Skinny Monkey."
"Oh hello, what a surprise?"
Immediately after I finished speaking, I looked at Shouhou. I wondered if he was still in the mood to look forward to it recently.
I want to see his expression the same as last time, his eyes rubbed with stars.
The thin monkey pursed his lips.
Then he looked at me nervously.
Eyes widened motionless, face tensed.
"Do you know what it is?"
"I have no idea."
"Then why do you have this expression?"
"I'm a little nervous."
"What are you nervous about?"
"Hey, it's okay."
I opened the package, adjusted my facial expression, and said to grandpa and skinny monkey with a particularly bright smile.
"Look! Quickly disassemble."
The thin monkey quickly wiped his hands with the rag from the table.
At this moment, his eyes seemed to light up.
His expectant eyes finally reappeared in front of me.
It is simply touching the sky and the ground.
Next, his demeanor made me sensitive again.
Grandpa saw the newspaper at once and picked it up immediately.
I originally thought that the thin monkey would grab the newspaper right away, check it curiously like a child, and then look for his own manuscript.
But the thin monkey's eyes stopped at the manuscript fee.
Could it be that he has any difficulties recently?
I wonder.
But it's impossible, he is such a thrifty person.
"It's promising, there are two articles, and this one is about Mr. He, please read it quickly."
When the thin monkey heard it, he leaned his head towards his grandfather, and then smiled silly.
"It's not that powerful!"
"Are you crazy, silly boy? Don't you like to see your own articles transcribed on it? This reaction seems to have poured cold water on Mr. He!"
The thin monkey looked at me, I was indeed frowning, obviously feeling bitter.
"No! I'll definitely watch it at night, I'm so happy!"
It is true that the thin monkey is laughing so much that he lost his eyes, but his right hand is indeed always on the envelope with the manuscript fee.
"You want to see the manuscript fee so much, then you should dismantle it quickly."
I said.
Perhaps the thin monkey saw that I was a little angry, and made a lowered expression to me, then quickly picked it up, looked at grandpa, and took it apart.
"1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10"
"17 sheets"
"17 cards, grandpa!"
Grandpa was also very pleased, and praised the thin monkey with a fatherly smile.
Always put vegetables in my bowl.
The thin monkey put the money back on the table, then left the stool, bowed 90¡ã to me, and that, the toothy grin I haven't seen for a long time.
"So happy to get the money?"
"Yeah!"
"Thank you, Mr. He, I bow to you for my grandfather!"
Another 90¡ã bow.
"Teacher He, I still have a manuscript, can I submit it?"
Grandpa also looked at me at this time, with a pleasant expression.
I did not respond.
Because this is something I didn't plan.
is the last thing I want to answer.
Seeing that I didn't speak, my grandfather understood that he understood, so he asked Shouhou to get a magnifying glass, and read Shouhou's article more "hardly" and "concentrately".
But all the while, the thin monkey's eyes never left my face.
