Chapter 33 Neither of you is a fuel-efficient lamp!
"What kind of life do you have? Don't live any more, you're a loser!"
Feng's mother gave Feng's son a hard look, then angrily picked up her bicycle and went up the steps and into the yard.
Of course, what Feng's mother Gu Xueqing said was also angry. It was not a new year or a festival, but a small article was just a small article. Is it such a big deal?
If this turns the debt collector into a great writer, she may become even more arrogant in the future!
What's more, why is the debt collector so sure that her manuscript will pass this time? I bought so many vegetables and meats to celebrate in advance. Isn’t it a bit overconfident? ?
Although her manuscript has indeed been finalized, and in order to encourage her, the editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu directly made way for the young man and removed his own manuscript, so that her missed train manuscript could be published here. The publication of the issue.
This is something to be happy about, after all, it is the first article published by the debt collector.
But there is no such thing! ?
Feng’s mother Gu Xueqing’s visual inspection showed that the Quanjude roast duck and other cooked duck dishes in the hands of the debt collector cost more than ten yuan.
There was also the eye-catching piece of meat hung on the front of her son-in-law's car. It must have cost at least two kilograms and several pieces of meat!
Needless to say about other vegetables, the debt collector spent at least nearly twenty yuan today.
How much is the fee for her publication this time? !
The price for a novice author is four yuan for a thousand words. The whole article has more than fifteen thousand words. Calculated at sixteen thousand, it is only sixty-four yuan.
In this way, half of the royalties were gone.
Wouldn't it be better to live like this without them?
But she has to suppress her arrogance. How will this happen in the future?
"Mom! October is not as difficult as yours!"
After Feng Jiayou was dumbfounded, she chased her and wanted to argue with her mother. After revising such a good manuscript, how demanding were they for the manuscript of "October"?
"Slow down and watch your step!"
Cheng Xuemin pushed his bicycle and followed behind. Seeing the woman chasing her mother in such a hurry, he could only give a reminder.
Feng Jiayou's manuscript failed again, which was also beyond Cheng Xuemin's expectations.
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be!
The concept of Feng Jiayou's manuscript is still acceptable, and it is a trauma literature that is popular in this era. Cheng Xuemin found an award-winning short story with similar content to hers, and made some magical changes, but it couldn't pass the manuscript?
Mother-in-law and the others’ October manuscript requirements are a bit too high. Is this because they are running out of manuscripts not long after the publication resumes?
Ning Quewu indulges in the boutique route and is as arrogant as his mother-in-law?
But after Feng Jiayou's manuscript was modified by him, it was really good! ?
"Mom! Did you lie to me!? You also bought so many vegetables and chopped half a catty of meat. Did you buy the meat to celebrate me after I passed the manuscript!?"
Cheng Xuemin pushed the cart into the yard, and happened to hear the Feng family squatting at her mother's feet, helping to pick vegetables and asking.
Especially when half a catty of meat was found under her mother's vegetable basket, her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked expectantly.
The mother-in-law also chopped half a catty of meat? This is the rhythm of good things at home!
Otherwise, with the mother-in-law’s good housekeeping skills, there would rarely be anything fishy unless there was something good or happy!
Occasionally, she secretly chops up some meatloaf soup to replenish the body of her family’s debt collector.
After deciding not to keep it, Mother Feng secretly gave special treatment to the food of Feng Jiayou, her precious friend!
“You’re overthinking it!”
Feng's mother rolled her eyes at the debt collector and took the roast duck that Feng's young brother had brought over to the kitchen to keep it warm.
"Leave it here and go do your work!"
After coming out, she saw the son-in-law putting all the vegetables together and squatting next to the debt collector picking vegetables. Mother Feng said lightly.
"Okay, Mom, please give me the rejected manuscript. This time I really voted for Yenching Literature and I don't want to change it! If I change it again, it will just be like that. Your threshold for October is too high and we can't reach it!"
Hearing her mother's tone of voice, Feng Jiayou fiercely broke off the leaves from the carrots and said angrily.
This time she didn't care. She really told her directly and openly that she wanted to change her family. She really didn't want to change anymore! And Feng Jiayou also knows that at her level, it’s really just like that!
Since the manuscript requirements for "October" are so high, let's change it!
Can a living person be choked to death by peeing?
There are so many publications across the country that you can submit articles to, and at worst Yanjing Literature can't pass it, so you have to switch to other local literary publications, such as "Shanghai Literature and Art", the original publication of "Scar".
Even the young Feng family members didn’t believe it. Her man had revised the manuscript so well, but he didn’t know what it was!
Besides, her man had already written two articles for Yanjing Literature, and they were both front-page headlines.
With this result, how could the manuscript he helped revise really be any worse?
"You know Yenching Literature and Yenching Literature. Are you from the Chinese Department of Yenching University only focusing on Yenching Literature now!?"
Now Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, is a little nervous about Yanjing Literature. This afternoon, because of Li Qingquan's confused phone call, their editorial department had to cross-check all the submissions in the past six months since the publication was resumed.
They are all doubting themselves, whether it has been stagnant for more than ten years, and the review vision of professional editors is outdated! ?
But after cross-examination, I didn’t find any particularly useful manuscripts! ?
It's basically worse than the original manuscript before the debt collector changed it.
Just like this, how could he still let Li Qingquan of Yanjing Literature pick up the slack?
Therefore, Feng's mother, who was originally unhappy because of this matter, now has her family's debt collector mentioning Yenching literature.
She would like to ask, do those classmates in the Chinese Department of Yenching University only have eyes for Yenching literature now? !
"Ah?! No..."
Before Feng Jiayou could finish speaking, Feng's mother Gu Xueqing followed up and said, "Why haven't we received many submissions from the Chinese Department of Yanda University recently for our "October"?!"
"Well... they may be challenging people's literature recently..." Feng Jiayou was choked for a moment and muttered flatteringly.
"Just make it up! Are you challenging People's Literature?! Why don't you directly challenge Xinhua News Agency?"
Sure enough, Old Liu was fooled by what he said, and he was really frightened by the negative emotions of his debt collector, so he didn't dare to vote for them in October!
"Hehe, Xinhua News Agency will definitely do it sooner or later. Anyway, I can't submit it to you in October! The manuscript requirements are almost surpassing those of People's Literature. Who dares to submit it?"
Feng Jiayou, a filial daughter again, muttered casually!
"What? From your tone, are you really saying bad things about us in October behind our backs?! When have our October manuscript requirements been as exaggerated as you say?!"
"It's obviously your own poorly written manuscript, but now you're blaming us?!"
Mother Feng was furious. What kind of white-eyed wolf did she raise? ?
"If you write badly, please return the manuscript to me! Who secretly said bad things about you guys in October!? I always praise you in front of my classmates that you just resumed publication in October. The shortage of manuscripts is serious. If you have enough manuscripts, you can get the manuscript fee. The price is a bit lower!”
"But what did you do in October?! Did Zha Jianying vote for you in October this month? Didn't you kill me?!"
Speaking of her speaking ill of October behind her back, the Feng family really doesn't take the blame. Isn't this just a case of false accusation with good intentions? !
"Zha Jianying? You introduced me to submit the manuscript?!" Feng's mother was stunned for a moment. She was somewhat impressed by the name and said, "Her manuscript was not very good!"
"Ha! It's not very good. You also said that your October manuscript requirements are not high?! After the revision, I actually listened to your suggestions and submitted it to Yenching Literature! What do you think the result was?"
"Yenjing Literature has passed, and the price is still five yuan per thousand words, so in October you are the one to push outstanding young new authors to Yanjing Literature, okay?!"
