When Chen Yuan came over after finishing her work, she saw Liu Chuan standing in front of him, concentrating on watching the children play games.
"Mr. Liu?"
Chen Yuan called out tentatively.
Liu Chuan immediately came to his senses: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm here to give you the manuscript fee for the first issue, 2,500 copies, all of which have been sold, and the total is 1,800 yuan."
After he said this, he heard the children behind him chirping and exclaiming: "So many?"
Seeing the children being so surprised, Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Yes, you should study hard now, and when Zhang grows up, you will be able to earn so much money."
Dabao Erbao Niuniu and the other children all stared round, watching Liu Chuan take out a stack of old man's banknotes from his purse and hand them to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan felt the thickness with her hands, and then stuffed it into her pocket. It was the most money she had earned during the time travel, so the hard work was not in vain.
Except for Niuniu, the children don’t understand the concept of money. Other children have long understood what so much money means. They have never seen so much money, and the family’s salary may only be two or three. The old man has so many heads.
And now Teacher Chen has made so much money all at once, which really makes them envious, and they also feel that making money is too easy.
Dabao and Erbao didn't think so, they looked at the expressions of other children, and suddenly said seriously: "My second aunt can earn so much money because she is talented and has put in a lot of hard work. The games we play She came up with it all. Another person is definitely not so smart, and she can’t come up with such a good thing, let alone publish English books, so the money earned by the second aunt is what she deserves, so we have to study harder , also has the ability to be as talented as the second aunt."
The children admired Chen Yuan very much, and when they heard what Dabao said, they all nodded heavily: "You are right, Teacher Chen is our role model, and when I grow up, I want to be as effective as her." Talented people."
"Yes, let's continue to study."
"Okay, I really want to study too."
"Learning makes me happy!"
The children returned to the desk with their companions and took the initiative to pick up the books and began to read.
This series of behaviors, from Liu Chuan's entry to the present, he found that Chen Yuan didn't discipline the children at all, and the children can learn by themselves. This kind of awareness is completely cultivated.
Liu Chuanguang knows that Chen Yuan's book can make children develop their own interest in learning, but he has never actually seen the effect. He just heard from the bookstore owner and the parents of the students that everyone praised the effect of this book. But seeing is believing today, and what he actually saw made him feel even more shocked. He felt that Chen Yuan had an invisible and intangible magic power.
Now he is more determined to continue to cooperate with Chen Yuan.
"Mr. Chen, can I talk to you about the second set of "How to Learn English"? I think your English book has great potential, and I hope to cooperate again."
Chen Yuan felt that this cooperation was quite smooth, and the compilation of the second set of English books did not require much effort, so she could just write it directly when the time came, so she agreed decisively: "It can be no problem."
"Great, let's talk about the specific things in detail."
The second set of English books should increase the difficulty and increase the types of learning. After a long time after buying the first book, it will be annoying to read it if you turn it over and over again, so you still have to add new things to them.
After Liu Chuan was sent away, the family returned to peace.
The children who came to make up lessons at night, and Shen Mingyuan also went back.
Only Dabao and Erbao were left lying on the table to do their homework. Speaking of which, the two of them seem to have grown a lot recently, and it feels that the stool and the table do not match.
Because Chen Yuan didn't notice before, the models of the tables and chairs used now are all the same, and the size of the tables and chairs are all made of wood and cannot be adjusted. Such tables and chairs look very durable, and they are also used in schools.
It is really good to use for a short time, but after a long time of use, children will feel a little tired when sitting on it, and they can't help leaning forward or tilting from side to side.
Even if the children are corrected, they will quickly become crooked again involuntarily, and their posture will be ugly after a long time. Their bones are growing, and poor sitting posture may lead to deformation of hunchback bones.
Just imagine, Dabao Erbao Niuniu will look like a hunchback in the future, it must not be beautiful.
Chen Yuan paid attention to designing a set of multifunctional children's study desks and chairs for them, and drew the design drawings on paper while thinking about it.
Shen Huai brought 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, afraid that the sound of his footsteps would disturb the children's study and Chen Yuan's work.
He also prefers to stay quietly by the side, just watching them quietly, enjoying the beauty and tranquility. Not long after, he turned around and went to the kitchen to make a roasted fish tofu soup.
Compared with Chen Yuan, Shen Huai's cooking skills are far behind, but he is also carefully observing and gradually shortening the gap in cooking skills. Now he can make soup and cook decently, and occasionally he can receive praise from his family .
After finishing the meal, Shen Huai called the children to eat. Seeing that Chen Yuan hadn't finished her work, she walked gently beside her, and looked at the content above. She was surprised to find that what Chen Yuan wrote today was not in English. The content, but the drawings for painting and designing tables and chairs.
The complex craftsmanship above looks amazing, and every part is exquisite, as if it was tailor-made.
He looked down at the piles of waste paper around Chen Yuan. It seemed that he had painted it many times and picked the best version to appear.
Chen Yuan seemed to think that the problem was difficult, as if there was a problem with a certain figure, and she was not satisfied with the final effect no matter how she drew it, she scratched her head in annoyance: "Oh, no, let's do it all over again."
Shen Huai knew that Chen Yuan was extremely perfectionist and had extremely high demands on himself, and no mistakes were allowed. He had no way to change it, so he could only comfort him in a low voice: "Actually, I feel that your paintings are already very good. In fact, you don't need to Compete with yourself."
Chen Yuan lowered her head and pretended to be helpless: "My hands hurt so much and I'm so tired. I haven't succeeded in painting for so long, and I don't know when I can finish painting."
Shen Huai said: "Take your time, the painting will always be finished, is there anything I can do to help?"
When Chen Yuan heard this, she blinked her big weak eyes, and looked at him: "Are you really willing to help? That's really great. That's exactly what I mean. Please help me draw the parts."
Shen Huai nodded in agreement, but said very honestly: "I've never drawn before, can I do it?"
"Of course, I said you can do it, you can do it."
Shen Huai was also very happy to hear that Chen Yuan was busy for a while, picked up a pencil and began to imitate the graphics of the parts on the paper according to Chen Yuan's instructions.
The corners of Chen Yuan's lips curled up in a secret place. Speaking of which, this trick really worked. If she showed super ability and talent every time, it would be too easy to be suspected by Shen Huai who lived under the same roof. .
So for each drawing, she had to draw it a few more times, and deliberately showed that the others were useless drafts, and then deliberately showed weakness, saying that her ability was average, and she only reached the level after working hard for a long time.
In this way, it can be perfectly shown that she is actually not so against the sky, she also has the side of ordinary people making mistakes, dragging Shen Huai into the water, and witnessing the birth of the multi-functional desk and chair together.
In this way, under his nose, it is also something he built one by one, and he is half of the credit for the success, so he will never doubt himself.
"I saw this kind of desk and chair in an engineering book before, and it looks like it should be very comfortable to sit on. The eldest and the second child are already very tired from studying, and if they hunchback, it will have an impact on the child's future. , so it suddenly occurred to me that this might be useful, I have almost forgotten the general appearance, and I don’t know if it can be made, let’s try my luck.”
Chen Yuan was thinking about things distressedly while talking. Shen Huai was a layman in this area, but he thought that Chen Yuan's paintings were very beautiful, and he kept praising them.
"I think your thinking is right, you can continue to draw according to this blueprint."
The sketch that Shen Huai held was the initial outline of the multi-functional desk and chair. Chen Yuan had made the drawing as rough as possible, but it was still very beautiful. Such a rough style still couldn't conceal its charm. It can be imagined that this is a very beautiful set of tables and chairs.
"After eating, we are painting together."
After the couple and the children had dinner, the children were allowed to rest tonight, watch cartoons to relax and unwind after work and rest.
Chen Yuan and Shen Huai returned to the study and started to continue the huge drawing project.
Shen Huai really doesn't know how to draw, but he doesn't deny that he is one of the more talented among human beings. After Chen Yuan's basic teaching, he has already started to draw.
He started to sketch the most basic screw nuts. After finishing the drawing, he felt a little ugly, so he was embarrassed to show it to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan insisted on seeing it, so Shen Huai had no choice but to pass it to her, and she was already prepared for possible criticism.
As a result, Chen Yuan said very positively: "Good painting! Shen Huai, you are such a genius!"
"It's beautiful and nice."
"This line is more perfect than any I have drawn."
"I think you are especially suitable for this bowl of rice."
Shen Huai was a little taken aback by the praise, and deeply doubted whether he was really that powerful? Seeing Chen Yuan's incomparably "sincere" eyes, he worked harder to draw design drawings. Whenever Chen Yuan praised him, why did his voice sound so beautiful
The two of them drew the manuscript until midnight, and finally completed a small part of the design.
Chen Yuan is very satisfied with this speed. After all, she is a human being and not a printer. Human beings should have the speed of human beings, so she has to work slowly and meticulously. Shen Huai is still full of energy after working in the middle of the night. This may have verified the sentence that men and women work together. Live not tired.
"By the way, show the blueprint to the third child tomorrow. Didn't he learn carpentry? If he can do it, I will hand over the table and chairs to him."
