On April 15, the new issue of "Fun Children" and "Sunshine Children" was released.

Although the two magazines were published on the same day, their respective situations were already very different.

Now.

The distribution scope of "Sunshine Children" has covered most parts of the country.

The circulation has exceeded 800,000 copies.

The distribution scope of "Fun Children" has been reduced from the entire southwest region to the provincial capital and a small number of surrounding cities.

The circulation is less than 20,000.

But even so, neither magazine has any plans to change the release date.

It's quite a bit like fighting to the death.

If there is no accident, maybe we will really have to fight to the death.

…

Early in the morning, bookstores and newsstand owners opened their doors one after another.

Today is the release date of several magazines, and business is generally good.

Some readers are even waiting outside the door, waiting for the door to open to buy.

"Hey, "Fun Children", such a good magazine that used to sell, is becoming less and less popular now."

The owner of a newsstand sighed.

He used to be able to sell hundreds of copies of "Interesting Children" in one issue. Now, even if he buys thirty or fifty copies in one issue, he may not be able to sell them all.

However, he still placed "Fun Children" in a prominent position.

After all, he has been selling magazines for so many years, and he also has feelings.

There are many people with this idea throughout the provincial capital and surrounding areas.

Even if "Fun Kids" is not easy to sell now, they will stock every issue.

They look forward to the day when "Fun Kids" can return to its former best-selling status.

…

"Boss, has "Sunshine Children" arrived? My son likes the stories in it the most, and he urged me to buy it early in the morning."

In front of a newsstand, a man in his 30s with glasses said.

"Hey, it's here, here it is. "Interesting Children" has also arrived, do you want a copy too?" the boss did not forget to promote.

The man with glasses hesitated for a moment and refused: "Forget it, boss. Now the story of "Funny Children" is not very good."

The boss shook his head regretfully.

In the past, customers were rushing to buy "Funny Children". Wherever you sell it to people like now, they won't buy it.

"Hey, Xiao Li, here you go again to buy magazines for your son."

In front of another newsstand, a middle-aged man in his 40s said to a man in his 30s.

"Oh. It's Brother Qi. I bought it myself. I quite like reading these children's magazines. Of course, I will also tell the stories in them to my son. What magazine did you buy?"

The middle-aged man raised the magazine in his hand and said: "I bought a copy of "Sunshine Children" and "Funny Children". You said that my son is already in junior high school, and he still thinks about reading these magazines all day long. I don't know if there are any

Nothing good to see."

"Isn't "Fun Kids" no longer available? Why do you still buy it?" asked a man in his 30s.

"Oh, I've been buying it for a few years and I'm used to it. Let's just leave it at that."

…

Lin Fei is a long-time reader of "Interesting Children".

Today, he came to the newsstand and bought a copy of "Interesting Children" as a habit.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Hey, Lin Fei, why do you still buy "Funny Children"? The stories in it are no longer good for a long time. You should buy "Sunshine Children", the stories in it are much more exciting."

The speaker is Lin Fei's neighbor.

The two are about the same age, and their children are about the same age, in their teens.

"Oh, it's Li Lin. I'm used to buying. I think it's okay." Lin Fei replied.

"I think you are too nostalgic. Well, I've finished reading "Sunshine Children" and will lend it to you to read. It's really better than "Funny Children" now."

"Oh, okay." Lin Fei agreed.

When he got home, Lin Fei looked at the "Funny Children" in his hand with complicated eyes.

In fact, he also knows in his heart that the quality of "Fun Children" has been worse than every issue in the past year.

When I told the stories in it to my son, he was not very interested. Instead, he clamored to listen to the stories in "Sunshine Children".

"I hope there will be one or two good stories in this issue."

Lin Fei thought this and opened the magazine casually.

"Sure enough, it's still the same."

Lin Fei has read through more than 10 previous stories, but none of them can attract him.

"Is it so hard that I really should watch "Sunshine Children"?"

Lin Fei also heard some stories from "Sunshine Children" told by his friends.

Many of the stories in it are indeed good.

In particular, the stories written by Yang Jie, known as the "little fairy tale king", are wonderful.

"Let's buy "Sunshine Children" next time instead."

Lin Fei sighed, feeling a little reluctant to give up.

What makes me sad is that I have seen the emotions for so many years.

But there is no way, what should be given up will eventually be given up.

"There are still some last few stories, let's finish them."

Turning to the last few stories, Lin Fei has not read them for a long time.

Because after reading these articles, I have to say goodbye to "Fun Children".

"Hey, "Crows Drinking Water", does it talk about crows drinking water? What's the point of that?"

Lin Fei didn't want to read it in a hurry, but he accidentally glanced at the title.

I felt a little unhappy.

What on earth are these interesting editors doing now, and why do they publish all kinds of nonsense stories on it?

But very quickly.

Lin Fei couldn't help but say "Hey" again, and his eyes that were originally a little distracted suddenly became focused.

"This story is interesting."

The story is very simple. It tells about a thirsty crow who saw water in a bottle but couldn't drink it. So he threw pebbles into the bottle to raise the water level and drank the water.

"It's really interesting. The story is simple, but the truth is not simple!"

Seeing this, Lin Fei couldn't help laughing, "Haha, I finally have a good story. And this story is also very suitable to tell to my son. There are a few more in the future, let me take a look."

He couldn't help but look forward to the story behind.

In fact, the following story did not disappoint him.

"The Crow Drinks Water", "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", "The Tortoise and the Hare", "The North Wind and the Sun", "Little Red Riding Hood".

A total of five articles, five equally wonderful stories.

Lin Fen read these five articles back and forth several times.

The more I read, the more I feel that these stories are endlessly memorable.

He became a little excited, "Fun Kids" finally found a good story.

My persistence and waiting over the past few months have finally paid off.

It had been a long time since he had read such a wonderful little story.

In his opinion, these stories are valuable even for adults.

"No, I have to call that guy Li Lin. He also persuaded me to buy "Sunshine Children", and I almost missed so many wonderful stories."

In the next room, Li Lin's phone rang.

When he saw that it was Lin Fei calling, he thought he was coming to borrow books.

I couldn't help but smile proudly, you finally came to borrow a book.
