A car accident, our family of three crossed

After the snow stopped, people came from the county town.

Shopkeeper Lu came personally to deliver the dividends from "Hulu Ji" to the Hang family.

This round of dividends was no small sum. When Shopkeeper Lu handed out the banknotes, the feeling in his heart was indescribable.

Initially, when he negotiated the deal, he just wanted to give it a try. He never thought that "The Calabash Brothers" would become so popular.

After such a long time, there are still many people asking every day when the sequel of "Hulu Ji" will be released. Similarly, "Hulu Ji" has been released for such a long time, but it still sells many copies every day.

Now I think that the share given in the beginning was too high. Now when I give out the dividends, it feels like cutting flesh with a knife. It hurts, but I have to do it.

But think about it from another angle. Although the dividends distributed were not small, his Wanjuan Bookstore also made a lot of money. If it weren't for "The Calabash Brothers", this money would not have reached the treasury of Wanjuan Bookstore.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lu felt much better.

This time, in addition to delivering the dividends from "Hulu Ji", I also wanted to discuss with Hang Shuheng the calligraphy practice copybook he had discussed before.

They had only agreed on it and signed the contract before, but they hadn't named the book yet. They came here today just for this matter.

That calligraphy practice copybook has not yet been released in Pingyang County. We originally planned to use "Hulu Ji" to test the waters, but we didn't expect it to become so popular.

To the extent that during that period, all the manpower and resources were invested in copying "The Gourd", and the calligraphy practice copybook was temporarily shelved.

A while ago, he had sent samples and decision-making plans to the capital, where they are already being prepared and may be released soon.

Considering the human and material resources in the capital, it would not be a problem to print this calligraphy practice book and "The Gourd Records" at the same time.

Once the sale starts in Beijing, the dividends that the Hang family will receive in the future will be hard to imagine.

After knowing the purpose of Shopkeeper Lu's visit, Hang Shuheng pondered for a long time and finally gave an answer, "How about calling it "Calligraphy Enlightenment"?"

Shopkeeper Lu kept repeating the title of the book for a while, and when he thought it was a good one, he happily decided on it.

After the matter was settled, Shopkeeper Lu still had no intention of leaving. From time to time, he looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and it was obvious that he had other things to say.

Hang Shuheng pretended not to see his expression and did not expose him, waiting to see how long he could hold it in.

The two of them sat around the stove in the yard, brewing tea. After chatting for a long time, Shopkeeper Lu felt that he was almost full of tea and could not hold it in any longer.

He asked tentatively, "Well, Shuheng, can you give me a hint about when the next volume of The Gourd Story can be submitted?"

Hearing this, Hang Shuheng put down his teacup and looked at him with a half-smile, "You've been holding it in for so long, just for this?"

When Shopkeeper Lu heard this, he knew that he had already exposed himself to the other party. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and complained, "Good boy, if you hadn't always stopped me from pushing, would I have held it in for so long?"

After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a big sip, then continued, "Just tell me if you can give me a definite answer?"

"Don't be impatient! You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Hang Shuheng said slowly and leisurely: "Aren't you preparing for "Calligraphy Enlightenment" right now? Let's finish this first."

Shopkeeper Lu opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He was right. Right now they should focus on the "Calligraphy Enlightenment" and invest all their manpower and material resources into it, so as to try to publish it in the near future.

At noon, Shopkeeper Lu had a free lunch at the Hang's house before leaving. Now, having free lunch at the Hang's house seems to have become a habit. Every time he comes, he always feels like something is missing if he doesn't leave without having a free meal.

A few days later, Shopkeeper Lu sent his servant to bring Hang Shuheng several samples of "Introduction to Calligraphy".

As for why several books with the same content had to be sent over, that was Hang Shuheng's request. After all, there were several children in the family who needed enlightenment, and the family conditions were not bad, so naturally each of them had to have a book.

After receiving the books, Hang Shuheng sat at home for a while, then picked up one of them and went out, walking towards the end of the village.

When we arrived at Master Liu's house, his family was sitting around a charcoal fire in the yard.

"Oh! Shuheng is here. Come in and warm yourself by the fire." When Master Liu saw him, he greeted him hurriedly.

"It's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes!" Hang Shuheng didn't keep the secret and directly explained his purpose, "I came here! Mainly, there is something I want you to take a look at."

Master Liu naturally noticed the book he was holding, and guessed it was related to this matter, so he quickly invited him into the study, "Let's go to the study and talk."

When the two of them arrived at the study, Mrs. Liu brought in some tea in time and then left quietly.

Hang Shuheng handed over the book in his hand, "Take a look first!"

"Introduction to Calligraphy?" Master Liu first glanced at the cover, read it out loud, and then slowly opened the book to read the contents.

After reading a few pages, his reaction was not much different from that of Shopkeeper Lu when he first saw it. "What, what is this?"

Hang Shuheng remained silent. He sat aside, holding the teapot and drinking by himself, waiting patiently for Master Liu to finish reading the contents of the book.

Master Liu didn't speak until he finished reading it, and then he excitedly said, "Shuheng, where did you get this book?"

Hang Shuheng did not answer his question directly, but asked: "After reading it, what do you think of this book?"

"This book is very good and wonderful. I don't know which master wrote it. It is a book tailor-made for people with no basic knowledge!" Master Liu held the book in his hand and couldn't let it go. He asked again: "You haven't told me yet, where did you get this book? Or which bookstore did you buy it from?"

At this point, he shook his head in denial, "No, if there is such a book on the market, it is impossible that no one knows about it. Could it be a new book published by a bookstore?"

"You are right. This book is not available on the market at present, but it will be available soon." Hang Shuheng gestured to him and said, "Roll up the book and look at the side pages."

Master Liu followed his suggestion and rolled up the book, only to find that the seal of Wanjuan Book House was stamped on the pages.

Hang Shuheng continued, "When the primary school in our village was first opened, the first batch of students who entered the school were all children with no basics. This book will soon come in handy."
