Chapter 25: Not giving the manuscript to mom? Wife, are you trying to harm me? (Ask for monthly ticket
"Really, I really just made a joke to her, who knew she couldn't afford it!?"
After sending the two little ones to school along the way, Cheng Xuemin sent the Feng family to Yanda. The woman was still mumbling on the way.
"Mom was so murderous just now. If you really join Yenching Literature, will she really kill you?"
Cheng Xuemin used three words "true" in a row, expressing that he still has lingering fears, and what he is more worried about is his manuscript.
If he had known that this was the case, he should have submitted it to his mother-in-law's "October". Even if he didn't want to be given special treatment and wanted a more refined revision, he could have submitted it by post under a pseudonym!
Just like Cheng Xuemin's investment in Yenching Literature, with just the pen name of "Lao Xu", one can still guess that it is her son-in-law's manuscript! ?
As long as the mother-in-law doesn't know that Cheng Xuemin submitted the manuscript, it's pretty much a one-shot process.
When it is actually published and it is known that it was written by her son-in-law, it might give her a small surprise.
It's fine now!
There was a huge time bomb hanging over his head, and Cheng Xuemin was very scared.
"Then I have to dare!"
Feng Jiayou sat sideways on the back seat of the bicycle, wrapping his arms around Cheng Xuemin's waist, playing with his feet in the air, and murmured again.
If she had the guts to change her profession, she would have done so long ago.
Just because she doesn't have the guts, she usually just gets used to yelling, because she knows her mother's character well.
To be honest, if you really dare to be serious, they "October" may directly block her.
After all, everyone from the editor-in-chief to the editor-in-charge of "October" took great care of her article and gave her a lot of suggestions.
It can be said that the revised manuscript is almost the same as what she originally wrote.
In addition, with her mother's connection, Feng Jiayou is also a top student in the Chinese Department of Yanda, and they "October" are training her for the reserve army!
Feng Jiayou knew the importance. No matter how much he changed his submission, he could not just change his submission for this first article.
"Then you want me to join Yenching Literature? Isn't my daughter-in-law harming me?" Cheng Xuemin was also drunk when he heard this. This is something she didn't dare to do!
But she didn’t dare, but she encouraged Cheng Xuemin, the son-in-law who came to live in the house, to be a traitor. What are your intentions, woman! ?
"What are you afraid of?! The worst thing is, don't let my mother know!" Feng Jiayou said nonchalantly, "Besides, they don't have as much as Yanjing Literature gives them in October!"
"The manuscript fee they pay newcomers in October is four yuan per thousand words, while the starting fee for Yanjing Literature is five yuan per thousand words!"
"With a difference of one yuan in manuscript fee, who else would invest it if not Yanjing Literature?!"
That's true!
After hearing this, Cheng Xuemin nodded in agreement.
Although there is a slight difference, this is a differential treatment for the training of newcomers. Cheng Xuemin would definitely choose Yenching Literature.
"Xuemin, look, there is our mail!"
Before sending Feng Jiayou to the classroom, Cheng Xuemin deliberately took a detour and passed by the communication room of Yanda.
The Feng family's sharp eyes saw the blackboard outside the communication room from a distance. Under today's mail, it was written Wrangler Lao Xu.
"Go over and take a look. There should be a reply from Yanjing Literature!"
The contact address left by Cheng Xuemin when he mailed his submission was the address of the Feng family, Young Yan University.
There is no one left at home, otherwise if he is not at home one day and misses it, and his mother-in-law sees him, he will be in big trouble!
Even if it wasn't discovered by the mother-in-law, or even by the eldest brother and sister-in-law, they still couldn't hide it.
After thinking about it, it is still the Feng family's address, which is safe and secure!
“Be careful, slow down!”
As soon as they got over, the bicycle didn't even stop. The impatient Feng Jiayou jumped out of the car. Cheng Xuemin was so frightened that he quickly held her with one hand. "Uncle, please help get the mail from Mr. Xu, the Wrangler, thank you!"
Can the Feng family not be impatient? !
Whether Cheng Xuemin’s manuscript can be published depends on whether her coffers can be more abundant.
"Wrangler Lao Xu?"
"Yes, your email! From Yanjing Literature!? Little girl, you have a masterpiece to be published!"
Yan University is indeed a Yan University. The gatekeeper can guess the general content just by looking at the mailing address.
"Hehe, thank you for your good advice. I hope it's not a rejection email!"
Feng Jiayou eagerly took the letter, tore it open as he walked, and took out the letter inside.
"how?"
I have never seen such an anxious woman, but not to mention that Cheng Xuemin was also a little nervous now.
Although the tribute is to a short story that won an award in a previous life, it is still the trauma literature that is booming in this era.
But the anxiety of not being safe still makes Cheng Xuemin very nervous. After all, this is his debut work that pays homage to time travel, so it has to be an instant hit, right? !
“It’s passed, it’s been passed! Xuemin, your Wrangler has passed!”
After reading the letter at a glance, Feng Jiayou jumped up with excitement and said to Cheng Xuemin.
"Passed it?!"
"Want to revise the draft?"
When Cheng Xuemin heard this, he quickly took the letter and read it over at a glance.
It is indeed passed, but the draft still needs to be revised!
The editor-in-chief of Yanjing Literature, Zhang Dening, invited Cheng Xuemin in the letter to revise the manuscript at their editorial office of Yanjing Literature if he had time.
"Just revise the draft! Xuemin, you have already passed the draft. In fact, you just went over to meet with the editor and go through the motions to make yourself familiar. Previously, Huang Beijia asked him to go to their editorial department to revise the draft, and it was done in one day! "
Feng Jiayou took the letter from Cheng Xuemin's hand again and couldn't stop reading it happily. She was even more excited than she was when she finished the manuscript.
"Huh? Your editor is Zhang Dening!?" When he saw the editor's signature, Feng Jiayou let out a slight sigh.
"Why, do you know this Zhang Dening?" This made Cheng Xuemin curious.
Moreover, when submitting the article a few days ago, Feng Jiayou said that Yanjing Literature had surprises waiting for him. Not to mention that Cheng Xuemin didn't recognize this Zhang Dening at all, so it wasn't really a surprise.
"I don't know him! I thought... forget it, I'll know you later if you, Xuemin, go directly to Yenching Literature!"
Feng Jiayou once again lied in wait for Cheng Xuemin, making Cheng Xuemin even more curious.
"You don't want to go with me?!" Cheng Xuemin asked.
"I have class in the morning!" Feng Jiayou actually wanted to go. She had never seen the editorial department of a literary magazine. What was it like?
"Then let's go together in the afternoon. I will refine the second manuscript in the morning and try to submit it in person in the afternoon!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded. If the woman wants to go, just wait for her to go with her. Anyway, there is no shortage of time in the morning.
"What!? Xuemin, you wrote a new manuscript? It's only been a few days?!"
Feng Jiayou originally nodded and went together in the afternoon, but when he heard the last part of Cheng Xuemin's sentence, he was dumbfounded again!
How many days have passed? ! Has Cheng Xuemin’s second manuscript been written? !
Isn't this speed too productive?
“The manuscript fee is only five yuan for a thousand words. If I just write a few more articles, can we live in our own house in the year of the monkey?!”
"My plan for you man is that you must publish an article every month from now on!"
Cheng Xuemin boasted boldly!
“Handsome!”
Feng Jiayou was so bewitched that her eyes were filled with stars. Her man was really handsome when he was bragging!
