I, Sun Liancheng, have the universe in my heart, Zhong Xiaoai admires me

Chapter 38 I called my hometown and found out that I am not alone in this world

Sun Liancheng wiped the water off his face with a towel.

He sat down on the stool and pulled the two letters out of his pocket.

He remembered his sister's letter saying that she wanted him to call home.

Sun Liancheng took out his cell phone from his pocket.

But I hesitated again. Now I am Sun Liancheng and not Sun Liancheng.

Be it my sister or my parents, although I remember their appearance, I have never said a single word to them.

What should I say when I call?

Sun Liancheng held his cell phone in his hand, his thoughts returning to that small mountain village.

It was a low adobe house with firewood piled up in the open space in front of the door.

My mother was cooking in the kitchen, and my father was sitting on the doorstep smoking a pipe and coughing dryly.

My sister was lying on the table doing her homework, and the big yellow dog was sleeping lazily in the shade.

These images appear in my mind like a movie.

I am Sun Liancheng, I am Sun Liancheng, and they are my relatives.

Sun Liancheng picked up his cell phone and dialed the number on the letter.

"Hello...Who is this?"

The village chief's voice came from the phone.

Sun Liancheng quickly said, "Are you the village chief? I am the eldest son of the Sun family, Sun Liancheng."

Like Qi Tongwei, Sun Liancheng is the only college student in the village who was admitted to the provincial capital.

It is the pride of the entire Dushan Village.

Hearing that it was Sun Liancheng, the village chief said with a smile:

"Oh, it's Liancheng. You also know that I have a telephone installed at home."

"Yes, Village Chief, I heard from my sister, could you please ask my parents and my sister to answer the phone?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go now. Wait for a cigarette and call back."

"Okay, thank you, village chief."

"Hi, are you welcome?"

……

at the same time.

On the small road in Dushan Village, the village chief walked towards the Sun family with a flashlight.

Dushan Village is a notoriously poor village and it doesn’t even have a decent road.

Although electricity was connected earlier this year, every household still goes to bed at dark in order to save electricity bills.

Dushan Village is poor, but the Sun family is even poorer.

There are still three adobe houses now.

The only thing that the villagers envy is Old Sun’s two children.

His son Sun Liancheng was admitted to Handong University and will become an official after graduation.

The second daughter is also sensible and good at studying. She has the potential to become a college student in the future.

The village chief walked to the door of Sun Liancheng's house with one step deep and one step shallow.

The room was dark and the lights were off.

Only the big yellow dog at the door barked twice.

"Go, get out of the way."

The village chief glared and scolded twice.

The yellow dog hid aside obediently.

"Old Sun, Old Sun, are you asleep?"

When Sun Liancheng's father Sun Dewang heard the village chief's voice, he quickly got up and opened the door.

"It's the village chief. What's up so late?"

Sun Liancheng's sister Sun Xiaojuan, who lived in the west room, also ran out when she heard the noise.

"Village Chief, is it my brother who called?"

The village chief said quickly, "Yes, your Liancheng called. Juanzi, quickly call your mother to answer the phone."

When Sun Xiaojuan heard that it was her brother calling, she almost jumped up with excitement.

"Mom, my brother called. Get up quickly. My brother called."

Sun Dewang didn't even bother to lock the door.

Several people quickly followed the village chief to his house.

A red phone was placed on the table, with an exquisite cloth phone cover on top, as if to prevent it from getting dusty.

The village chief said with a smile: "Wait a moment, I'll ask Liancheng to call you back later."

……

Sun Liancheng calculated that the time was about right and called again.

When he heard the call was connected, Sun Liancheng couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Hey, is this Liancheng boy?"

An old voice came over.

Sun Liancheng was silent for a moment and said, "Dad... I'm Liancheng."

"Liancheng, it's really Liancheng."

Sun Liancheng heard his father's surprised voice on the other end of the phone.

"Liancheng, are you okay...wait a minute, let your mother talk to you."

This is the father in Sun Liancheng's memory, always taciturn.

"Hello, Liancheng, I'm your mother. Are you able to eat enough there? Do you have enough clothes to wear?"

When Sun Liancheng heard his mother's voice, he felt mixed emotions.

"Don't worry, mom. I have everything I need."

"Don't save the money I sent you. Buy some delicious food. I can earn money now. I'll send you more in a few days."

Sun Liancheng seemed to hear his mother sobbing.

"Liancheng, you don't need to send money home. We have money at home. You are hiding where you need it."

"Hurry up and ask Liancheng when he can come back to visit."

Sun Liancheng heard his father talking nearby.

"Liancheng, your dad asked me to ask you when you will come back to visit."

"It doesn't matter if I don't have time. Work is more important."

Sun Liancheng said quickly: "I will go back to see you after I finish this busy period."

"Mom, where's Xiaojuan?"

"Juanzi, hurry up, your brother is calling you."

"Brother, I'm Xiaojuan."

"Xiaojuan, are you having any difficulties with your studies?"

"Brother, it's not difficult. I was in the top ten in the school in the final exam this year. My teacher said that I will have no problem getting into Wuhan University in the future."

"That's good. I'll send you some review materials later. Take good care of your parents at home."

"I understand, brother..."

"Okay, Xiaojuan, stop talking. The phone bill is expensive."

Sun Liancheng heard his mother urging Xiaojuan over there.

"Okay, I'll call you when I have time. Tell me if you need anything."

"Okay, I got it, bro. Take care of yourself."

"understood."

Sun Liancheng hung up the phone.

"Bye?"

Sun Dewang asked:

Sun Xiaojuan nodded:

"It's hung up."

When coming out of the village chief's house, Sun Dewang kept looking back at the phone.

It was as if his son was on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Liancheng felt a little sad.

He could imagine how difficult life was at home.

Since childhood, I have been the pride of my parents and the idol of my younger sister.

As their only relatives in this world, they should be allowed to live a better life.

At this time, Sun Liancheng noticed the letter sent by the magazine on the table.

He remembered that the letter seemed to mention the issue of royalties.

Sun Liancheng opened the envelope again, took out the letter and read it carefully.

After reading it carefully, Sun Liancheng finally understood.

The other party meant that they hoped to serialize his novel "The Wandering Planet" in one of their science magazines.

The magazine is published once a week, with each issue containing 2 words, and royalties are paid on schedule.

The remuneration for one issue is one thousand yuan. If the response is good, the remuneration can be increased, with no upper limit.

In other words, you just need to send the novel that needs to be serialized in the next issue on time.

Then you can receive the royalties for this issue.

This method is very different from publishing a book.

If the book is published, how much royalties you can earn depends entirely on the sales of the book.

The magazine system of paying royalties on schedule is more suitable for people like me who are in a hurry to use the money.

Sun Liancheng noticed that the magazine was in Jingzhou, and he planned to contact them when he had time in the next two days.

It’s getting late and I’m a little tired after a busy day.

Sun Liancheng simply washed himself and lay down on the bed.

In a daze, Sun Liancheng felt as if he had come to a mountain range.

There are a few dilapidated houses on the ridge.

Qi Tongwei was seen walking out of a house with a smile on his face.

"Liancheng, have you sent the money I asked you to send to my hometown?"
