Chapter 49 Wife, our article "Wrangler" is probably going to be popular!
"Daughter-in-law, you are awesome!"
Cheng Xuemin directly gave the woman a thumbs up, with a tone that said he would kill her even if he wanted to, and he was mainly showing a rebellious filial piety to the end?
"What are you giving me?! And you gave her the novella in your hand? What do you think? Can she afford the price of Yanjing Literature?"
Feng Jiayou grabbed Cheng Xuemin and said, "The kitchen is still cooking, where are you running?!"
After saying that, he dragged her into the kitchen together.
Then he said to himself: "The middle part! You all said that the full length is more than 200,000 words! The price difference of one dollar is also a difference of more than 100 in royalties!"
"Besides, I think they can afford to pay at most five yuan per thousand words for "October"!"
Can Feng Jiayou not have Xiao Jiujiu in his heart?
Her brother is still settling the score. She suffered losses from her mother's "October". Her previous manuscript was about the same number of words as Cha Jianying's manuscript published in Yanjing Literature, but the manuscript fee was a full Quanjude University. Roast Duck.
This is because it is a short story with a small number of words, so I suffer less! What if they really wanted to use the novella they had in their hands to make atonement for her mother?
It's better to grit your teeth and fight to the end. As long as Yanjing Literature doesn't let go, they won't have a big problem here.
"Okay, I'll get a tape recorder later!"
Following into the kitchen, Cheng Xuemin nodded in agreement behind him and gave the novella in his hand to his mother-in-law. It was indeed a waste.
"What do you want a tape recorder for?"
Feng Jiayou was puzzled why this was talking about her mother. Cheng Xuemin suddenly jumped to the tape recorder. This jump was a bit unexpected.
"...I see, my wife, that you are having a hard time learning foreign languages? I heard that there is a foreign gadget that lets you play audio tapes and learn foreign languages along with it. I want to buy one for you!"
Cheng Xuemin said seriously that she was thinking about learning a foreign language for you, but actually she was thinking so in her heart. She had to record her attitude and what she said, just in case.
Don't keep saying that you won't give him anything, and you will be a rebellious filial piety, but when you really can't hide the incident, you kick Cheng Xuemin out to fight the thunder.
To be honest, I think about that day when Feng Jiayou deceived her mother and changed the manuscript to Yanjing Literature, her mother's murderous spirit...
Cheng Xuemin is terrified now. There is nothing he can do to withstand this thunder!
To prove what we say, we need to get a tape recorder and record all of this on tape. No one can escape then.
It just so happens that women also need a tape recorder for learning foreign languages.
"Why spend that money? Xuemin, your spoken English is also very good, I just need to learn from you more!"
Feng Jiayou has been working hard on English recently. This is her shortcoming, and it is also the shortcoming of most students in their class. Almost all of them are working hard on English.
She had also heard of tape recorders, which were indeed a good tool for learning English, but they were imported and very expensive.
Moreover, they can't buy it even if they have money. You need to have foreign exchange coupons to buy such foreign things.
Say it again!
There is a man next to me who is very good at English, and his spoken English is very authentic and smooth to the ears. Just learn English from the man, why spend so much money and energy on getting a tape recorder!
"You want to learn a foreign language with me!? Wife, when you said that, I suddenly thought of a joke I saw in the library's foreign language magazine two days ago!"
Why was Cheng Xuemin so excited when he heard this? If the Feng family wants to take the initiative to learn foreign languages with him, then he must teach him well!
"Foreign jokes? Xuemin, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, I want to hear it!" Feng Jiayou's eyes lit up and he urged him again and again.
"Sister, Daddy Cheng, what kind of foreign joke are you talking about!? Tell me about it too!" Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo snuck into the kitchen smelling the fragrance and saw her sister and Daddy Cheng talking in the kitchen. Smiling, he couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Ahem! Let's talk about this joke later tonight!"
Cheng Xuemin, who originally wanted to tease Feng Jiayou in the kitchen, was embarrassed and ran away when his sister-in-law suddenly broke in.
"Brother-in-law, please don't leave. Didn't my sister just say that she wants to learn foreign languages from you!? I want to, too. Let's learn foreign languages together!" Seeing that Cheng Xuemin was a little frustrated and ran away, sister-in-law Feng Jiamo chased after her. . Let’s learn together! The idea of learning a foreign language was a bad joke in Cheng Xuemin's mind, and he didn't dare to mention it to the Feng family anymore.
Around dinner time, Feng's mother and Feng's father came back together. The first person to speak after entering the door was Feng's father:
"Jiayou, "The Wrangler" written by your classmate is very good and has profound reflective significance. I am going to recommend it to be reprinted in "Chinese Literature". You can make an appointment with your classmate to come to our unit to talk about it!"
"Ah?! Dad, are you also optimistic about the manuscript of "Wrangler"?! Yanjing Literature has not officially published it, so you just decided on "Chinese Literature"!?"
Now it was Feng Jiayou and Cheng Xuemin's turn to be dumbfounded!
Why is it that when her mother takes sample magazines of Yenching Literature out for a spin, her father will go straight to "Chinese Literature"?
You must know that "Chinese Literature" is not simple. It is the most important publication of the International Publishing House for external publicity. It is translated into the languages of several countries and exported to the outside world.
And the money earned is foreign exchange.
Just now they were discussing that the main reason why they didn't want to buy a tape recorder was not that they couldn't afford it, but that they couldn't buy it and there were no foreign exchange coupons.
But now it's good, her father wants to publish Cheng Xuemin's "Wrangler" directly in "Chinese Literature" to earn foreign exchange royalties. Her father brought a pillow just as she fell asleep.
"The manuscript is indeed well written, even better than "Scar"! I'll submit it first, and we can wait for the release of Yanjing Literature to see the readers' feedback!"
"But I think it might be popular!" Father Feng nodded and added, "You are a very powerful classmate. It seems like you are writing a love story, but in essence it is still a piece of scar literature, but it is deeper and more profound than "Scar". good!"
"What is even more valuable is that she was able to establish the character of Xu Lingjun in scar literature. Whether it is family affection, love, or patriotism, she portrayed it very fully!"
"Especially the patriotism, the writing is very beautiful and very good. Every line is filled with the words 'I deeply love my motherland, I deeply love this land'. This is the most basic requirement of our "Chinese Literature" for external use. , your classmate did a great job!”
Father Feng commented without hesitation, and the young Feng family nodded repeatedly, with smiles on their faces. Those who didn't know would really think that she had written "The Wrangler".
"Xuemin, you should have read this article, right? Later, you and your parents will write a review for me and write down your thoughts after reading it!"
After Father Feng finished speaking, he changed the subject and asked Cheng Xuemin, his son-in-law, to write a review of "The Wrangler"!
“Ah!?”
Cheng Xuemin was dumbfounded for a moment! He wrote a manuscript himself, and he was required to write his own comments after reading it?
Father-in-law, what is he going to do? ?
"You two have endured hardships together. I hope you two can support each other and make progress together like Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi in the novel!"
What else could Father Feng have? It's just a matter of good intention, I hope this article "Wrangler" will inspire the young couple!
"Okay dad, I'll write it right back!" Cheng Xuemin nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said.
"Dad, I have already started writing, and many people in our class have already started writing. I am going to submit it to the "Literary News" to give this author a review and recommendation!"
What would her father's face be like if he knew that the classmate he praised so unstintingly was his son-in-law with a slim leg?
It is not easy to say so many words of praise from her father!
"Look! Yenching Literature has not even been published yet. It is just a sample magazine. It has already been sought after by the Chinese Department of Yenching University. It is very popular!"
When Father Feng heard this, he smiled and said to his lover, Mother Feng.
"It's a fire! Why are you dancing so happily? Either you want to recommend Chinese literature, or you want your daughter and son-in-law to write a review after reading it. Anyone who doesn't know thinks this manuscript was written by your daughter!"
Mother Feng was always angry. The more popular the Wrangler became, the more angry she became!
On the way back, her family praised the song "Wrangler" a lot, and even more so when they got home, Feng's mother was so angry that she went crazy.
But it was an unintentional remark that was just a little bit right!
This article about Wrangler was not written by their daughter, but by their son-in-law. It was written by the mud-legged son-in-law. Is it surprising or not? !
