Chapter 14 Go and rescue your friend
"Don't tell others, I promised Zhao Juan not to tell you." Fan Xiaotian said.
"OK, maybe I helped her and I want to say thank you." Gu Lu said.
“If you say thank you, she must be interested in you,” Fan Xiaotian gossiped, “Zhao Juan is one of the best-behaved girls in our fifth class. She has a bright future, young man.”
"Women will only affect my speed of drawing the sword." Gu Lu said.
Boys often discuss who is the best behaved person in the class, and Wang Meiqi, Zhou Lin, and Zhao Juan are often mentioned.
As for the school's recognized class beauties, class beauties, and school beauties - I have never heard of anyone being recognized as such.
"Wait a minute, what's behind you?" Fan Xiaotian pulled a note from Gu Lu's back.
It says [bad luck charm, bad luck, bad luck].
"This handwriting... the scheming frog keeps touching your belly." Gu Lu said, Zhou Lin must have put it on him after school.
"What frog, what belly?" Fan Xiaotian asked curiously.
Oh yes, there is not even Edogawa Rampo, how could there be Edogawa Conan, Gu Lu said, "In Japanese, there is probably only one truth."
Fan Xiaotian suddenly Feeling energetic, he said, "You're awesome! You can speak Japanese now. What movie did you watch to learn it? Why did I only learn Ya Zhu Die and Da Me?"
When they arrived at the Fat Boss, Gu Lu asked Fan Xiaotian to play for half an hour. He first used the computer to type out a composition to participate in the Bingxin Cup.
I also didn’t forget to log in to my QQ mailbox.
He can't go to "Story Club" every day to see if there are any replies. There are no manuscripts to write, and it is not cost-effective to go online.
Once every three days.
Unbeknownst to Gu Lu, Lao Li had already shown "Smashing the Pig" to the next door department in advance.
Lao Li was only reviewing, and there was also a final review and objections. To put it more bluntly, he froze when he wanted to reply to the author. He was not qualified to send this message.
“It’s funny, I submitted a short story to “Story Club” and introduced it to our “Artistic Youth”.
The editor-in-chief of "Literary Youth" Xiao Chong chuckled. The reason why Chong is "little" Chong is not that he is young, but that his head is really small, but the burly man has a slap face.
Looking at the bug, it’s like putting Teddy’s head on Alaska’s body, it’s so weird that people can’t help but take a few more glances.
Xiaochong has the capital to be "arrogant". "Literary Youth" is China's first original children's literature magazine, and it is also a must-have journal in the nationally designated periodical reading room.
"Okay, I'm tired of reviewing the manuscript, so relax your eyes." Xiaochong said. We still have to give Lao Li some face. Firstly, Literary Youth and Story Alliance belong to Magic City Century Publishing, and secondly, Lao Li is also a veteran in the publishing industry.
“Smash the Piggy, the name is a bit too straightforward.”
It’s not that Xiaochong is deliberately nitpicking. Take a look at the names of other submissions: Standing on the Tail of Fifteen, Monster Customizer, The Legend of Clouds and Birds, etc.
[Dad refused to buy me the Fruity Special Attack Orange Fragrance Transformation Toy. Actually, my mother agreed to buy it, but my father said that I was spoiled. "Why do we have to buy it for him, huh?" He said to his mother, "Why do we have to buy him a Fruit Toy?...]
The father refused the toy because he thought it was too easy to agree to the child, and the child would not understand the hard work of the parents, and would develop a desire to get something for nothing.
An ordinary opening, but Xiaochong. Already feeling that the story was unusual, "So, instead of buying me an orange-scented toy, my father bought me an ugly little porcelain pig with a flat hole on its back. In this way, I will grow up healthily and understand the hard work of my parents. ”
“Can a piggy bank help people grow up healthily? Why does it smell like irony? Is it my imagination? "Xiao Chong muttered, and the first few hundred words made him give up his relaxed attitude. Being able to become the editor-in-chief of "Artistic Youth", Xiao Chong's appreciation ability is definitely no problem.
Next, my father told "me" that as long as I was not picky about food and helped with housework every day, I would get a one-yuan coin. When I shook the piggy bank and it stopped buzzing, I could buy an orange-flavored deformed toy. .
“Even a small piggy bank would cost around a hundred coins to fill,” Xiaochong estimated in his mind, “It’s not a birthday, so a toy worth hundreds of dollars is really expensive. ”
Xiao Chong has assumed the role of a parent. If the kid (five years old) in the family also makes this request, he will refuse.
The focus of the story of "Smashing Piggy" is not whether to buy toys or not.
In the following time, the importance of the piggy bank slowly changed in my mind, "Actually, this little porcelain pig is very cute, and its nose is cool to the touch. When you stuff a one-yuan coin into its back, it It will smile even if you stuff it with a coin from the Army Corner. But the most satisfying thing is that even if you don’t stuff it with anything, it will still smile. I named the little porcelain pig Gulu..."
It’s one yuan a day, so according to Xiao Chong’s calculation, it will take half a year to fill it up. During this period, “I” regarded the little porcelain pig as a friend, and I would often worry about it breaking.
Can you really become friends with a toy? Xiao Chong was confused.
One day, my father picked up the piggy bank and shook it, and he broke it as promised because it was full. Xiaochong thought about it and realized that there were indeed some piggy banks that had not been exported.
[Let Guobao Special Attack stay wherever you feel cool! Me, smashing my friend's head in with a hammer? "I don't want the orange transforming toy anymore," I said, returning the hammer to my father. "I'm satisfied with Gulu." "You don't understand." Dad said, "It doesn't matter. This is an education. Hurry, I'll smash it for you."...]
"Hiss——" The story developed to this point, and Xiaochong realized that this article was definitely not ordinary. It might be from Class 3 and Class 4, but it was definitely not ordinary!
No matter how "I" begged, the father had made up his mind to destroy the piggy, and he smiled with satisfaction, saying that his child already had the intention to cherish things.
Begged his father to smash it again tomorrow and got permission.
“??”
The ending of the story left many question marks in Xiao Chong’s head.
The confusion only lasted for a few seconds, and Xiaochong suddenly patted his head, "So is this the reason why there is a generation gap between children and adults?"
["Pigs all like the wild." I said at the same time I put Gollum on the ground and said to him, "I especially like the forest. You will like it here." I waited for Gollum to respond, but he remained silent. When I touched its nose to say goodbye, it just gave me a sad look. It knew he would never see me again. ]
Yes, that’s right, the protagonist of the story put the piggy bank in the woods near his home. He wants to save Gollum!
Lost a hundred dollars in vain, this was Xiaochong's first reaction, and it was also the reason why his head was filled with questions.
“For children, it is saving their friends, but for adults, including me, the first reaction is that the money is lost. This behavior is too stupid, and the piggy bank is lifeless.” Xiaochong Even though he was once a child, he has forgotten everything about his childhood.
""Literary Youth" is this kind of story. Although it is simple, it brings out the problems in family education in an understatement."
"It's like smashing the piggy bank forcefully, regardless of the child's mood, just want to Teach your children what you think is good. This is something that most families often find. As a person with children, I will think about my own education after reading it. Author's name: Gu Lu
"Gu Lu and Gulu, these are little easter eggs played by the author. They are specialized children's literature writers, so it would be a waste to submit them to stories." Xiaochong thought to himself.
The famous children's writer is like this. The stories he writes are not only for children, but also for parents.
Before reading the article: Will the works of "Story Club" be introduced to literary teenagers? Climb high.
After reading the article: "Literary Youth" must have this article.
Xiao Chong temporarily put down his review work and called Lao Li.
"Hey, Brother Li, this article you sent..."
The first review is very tiring, especially for children's literature. The first review is to remove all content that may be harmful to children. But at the same time, we need to discover good articles.
