Chapter 57: The submitted manuscript was thrown out of water (please read it later)
"Xuemin, was this manuscript really written by you!?"
I had a good chat with my father-in-law outside. When I came back, my mother-in-law rushed up to me and asked quickly.
"Mom! How about I change it for you? In fact, I still have another article in hand, it's a novella, it's almost half written!"
After learning what happened to Mr. Qian in the front yard, Cheng Xuemin was also very touched and felt that his father-in-law's worries were somewhat justified!
So I thought I would stick to the original plan for this manuscript and wait a month or two before reading it again.
Now in order to stabilize my mother-in-law, I have to apologize to Yanjing Literature first. Later, if Zhang Dening asks, he will say that my mother-in-law wants to snatch this novella. Should I give it to her or not?
"You still have a manuscript in your hand?! Or is it a novella?!" Feng's mother looked stunned when she heard this, and looked at her mud-legged son-in-law a little suspiciously.
Are you kidding me? Is he a big sow?
What do debt collectors feed themselves? Can a high-end job like writing a manuscript be so productive?
Feng's mother estimated the time. It would only take more than half a month for her mud-legged son-in-law to come to the door!
How many manuscripts did you write in half a month?
I have already given two articles to Yanjing Literature, and now she also has one in her hand. What’s even more outrageous is that he actually has one hidden in his hand, and it’s a novella!
In this... half a month, it is more productive than a sow!
“Almost half written...”
"Go show it to me!"
Before Cheng Xuemin could finish speaking, his mother-in-law hurriedly asked for the manuscript again.
"Mom! I promised Yanjing Literature to give them this novella... I'll go get it now!"
Originally, Cheng Xuemin wanted to emphasize that this manuscript had already been given to Yanjing Literature. If you hadn't been the mother-in-law, he really wouldn't have said it!
But I didn’t dare to say anything anymore. Seeing my mother-in-law’s unkind expression, I quickly responded and went back to the house to get the novella.
"How is it?! This manuscript is for you in October, do you dare to publish it?!"
Father Feng asked, referring to the manuscript that Mother Feng was holding now.
"Why don't you dare to post this!? It's exactly what the debt collector said. It's better and more in-depth than "The Wrangler". I'll take it back to my work tomorrow and let Old Liu review it!"
Feng's mother didn't think anything of it. The manuscript was indeed well written. Fortunately, she saw through the two debt collectors in time and robbed the manuscript!
Otherwise, Li Qingquan’s Yanjing Literature was another great star.
So, why does he, Li Qingquan, dare to zoom in on the satellite, but they are so far behind in October that they dare not let it go?
"You should think about it carefully! This article is more explicit than the one written by the old man in the front yard. Aren't you afraid that your son-in-law will be pulled up and hacked?"
Father Feng definitely didn’t want this manuscript to leave this courtyard! But he also knows his character well, so he can't be tough!
"Old Qian? Hasn't he already been leveled? And everything has been restored. That article was reported by the People's Daily at the end of last year!"
"Old Feng, it's all over now, there's no need to be in a state of panic and panic anymore!"
Even Feng's mother said this, Feng's father knew that he might not be able to persuade her!
But think about it!
His son-in-law had the same conversation with him just now. His inspiration indeed came from the relevant reports in the "People's Daily".
Since the People's Daily has been leaking the news, it may be that he is really a bit unsettled and has become less courageous.
But it’s not a good idea to proceed with caution in everything, like walking on thin ice?
Your son-in-law has already published an article called "Wrangler". There is no need to take the risk and publish this article!
"Okay, I will study it with Lao Liu later. When you say this, I feel that Lao Liu doesn't have the guts to do it!"
Seeing that Feng's father no longer argued, Feng's mother felt unsure.
Thinking of their October Liu Xinwu, I wonder if he has the same courage as Yanjing Literature Li Qingquan, who directly decided to make the headlines of her son-in-law.
"Old Liu!"
"He may be more courageous than Li Qingquan. At the beginning of the year, he dared to appear on "Class Teacher". Why wouldn't he dare to appear if you gave him a manuscript!?"
When it comes to Liu Xinwu in October, we have to mention his "Class Teacher" at the beginning of the year!
That was the first shot of "scar literature". Later, Lu Xinhua's "Scar" was just a successor work, although the second volume was more influential.
"That means it's all over! What's more, what status did Lao Liu establish because of that article "Class Teacher"?!"
"So, don't let our timidity affect your son-in-law's future development!"
"Xuemin first wrote "The Wrangler" and then this manuscript. I don't think his development will be worse than that of Lao Liu in the future!"
Since Feng’s father mentioned Lao Liu’s article “Class Teacher”, Feng’s mother wanted to publish this article even more!
“I think you won’t give up unless you release a satellite of David in October, right?!”
Father Feng frowned, but reminded: "But have you ever thought about how big your satellite is?"
"So didn't I say that? We will study it in October. Old Liu Zhen may not dare to come!"
Feng's mother still didn't want to let go. In fact, this manuscript was really better than "The Wrangler". If they wanted to surpass Yenching Literature in October and regain their face, this might be the only one they could do!
"Okay! Anyway, you can take care of it yourself! Xuemin means that you can send it! I don't know where he heard some rumors!"
Seeing that Feng's father was stubborn and refused to listen, there was nothing he could do. He just hoped that he was overthinking it and everything would be over!
"Xuemin, what are dad talking to you about?!"
The Feng family in the room had already hid her manuscript payment slip. Seeing Cheng Xuemin return to the room, she couldn't help but asked curiously.
"We didn't talk about much! We just talked about Mr. Qian's deeds in the front yard!"
"Furthermore, dad also said that their bureau can use foreign exchange coupons to settle manuscript fees. How about we submit a few articles and earn some foreign exchange!?"
When it comes to earning foreign exchange, Cheng Xuemin already has a killer weapon in mind!
Harry Potter!
Did Cheng Xuemin know that in his previous life, this novel had the highest sales volume in the world, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties?
If I remember correctly, the author will start writing the first part in a few years, right? !
If Cheng Xuemin pays tribute now, it is actually just right. Earning foreign exchange can make you soft.
"Okay! Didn't dad say yesterday that he would submit Xuemin's article "Wrangler"?! Then dad would also give us foreign exchange coupons!"
When Feng Jiayou heard this, he was also very moved. Foreign exchange coupons are rare and good things. Who wouldn't want them if they can make money! ?
"Well! Let's try the waters with "Wrangler" first!" Cheng Xuemin nodded and took out the novella from the drawer.
"What are you doing with this manuscript?!"
"Mom wants to see it!" Cheng Xuemin said with a wry smile!
"No...didn't you promise to give this novella to Dening?! What are you talking about to mom!?"
The Feng family said unhappily, you can't please your mother-in-law in such a way, right?
We have made an appointment with Yanjing Literature. If we break our promise and refuse to give it to others, it will be too unreasonable. In the future, if it spreads in the cultural circle, it will have a great impact on Cheng Xuemin’s reputation and character! "You're the only one who knows how to show off, right!?" He just felt that Cheng Xuemin was trying to show off by trying to please his mother-in-law. He wanted to give his mother-in-law all the manuscripts at the bottom of the box, pretending to be trying to snatch the manuscripts from Cheng Xuemin's hands, and said, "I Go tell her!"
"Say it nicely..."
Forget it, Cheng Xuemin followed him anyway, wanting to see what the young Feng family told her mother.
"Xuemin, this issue of "Wrangler" of Yanjing Literature was written by you?!"
When Cheng Xuemin came out, his uncle Feng Jiazhao and his sister-in-law Ke Yumei came back. When they heard that his mother and his sister had been quarreling for a long time, the headline on the front page of Yanjing Literature was actually written by his brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin. I was almost shocked on the spot. Lost a lot of old teeth.
The "Wrangler" on the front page of this issue of Yanjing Literature was actually written by Feng Jiayou's man, a man from northern Shaanxi?
Feng Jiazhao, Ke Yumei and his wife were really shocked. In my mind, no wonder Feng Jiayou hid it so deeply that he would not dare to admit it even to death!
No wonder the atmosphere at home today is so wrong. Not to mention the smell of gunpowder, it seems that the stove in the kitchen is still cold and no one is cooking!
"Brother, I was lucky enough to publish an article. Lucky lucky!"
When he greeted his uncle Feng Jiazhao, Cheng Xuemin said modestly.
"Ha! Did you really write it!?" Feng Jiazhao's mouth twitched, choked by the word 'lucky'. This brother-in-law of his is really humble.
"Mom, I stated in advance that this manuscript has been promised to Yanjing Literature! Don't make it difficult for your son-in-law!"
Feng Jiayou was not modest at all. He spoke straightforwardly before handing over the manuscript.
"Show me first!"
Feng's mother did not respond directly, but stared at the manuscript in Feng Jiayou's hand.
"It's not finished yet, but it's already 100,000 words!" Feng Jiayou handed it over, then quickly took it back and asked, "Mom, has the story of "Wrangler" been over!? "
"Have you finished it yet? You didn't write it. Xuemin just said, give us this novella for October!"
Why are debt collectors so annoying? They won't pick up the pot, right?
Whether Wrangler can turn over the story depends on the quality of the two manuscripts you have!
The previous article was of excellent quality, even better than "Wrangler", but Feng's mother was not sure whether Liu Xinwu would dare to take it.
So, don’t you read this novella first? !
Besides, her man has already said that she wants to write this novella, no matter who you have promised it to!
If Li Qingquan of Yanjing Literature is not convinced, he can go find her Gu Xueqing in October!
Gu Xueqing really doesn’t believe it!
What's wrong with me, the mother-in-law, using my son-in-law's manuscript?
It’s so urgent!
I won’t give him Li Qingquan in any of my next articles.
"Why do you want to change this novella!? Isn't the short story just now bad!? You only publish one issue every two months in October, why do you occupy so many manuscripts?"
"If we have this time, we will submit it to Yanjing Literature, and all the royalties will go into our pockets!"
I really don’t despise their October!
Not only is the price offered lower than that of Yanjing Literature, but Yanjing Literature is a monthly magazine and can publish one issue every month.
But their October publication is a single month, and they only publish one issue every single month like January, March, and Friday, that is, one issue every two months.
So all the manuscripts were backlogged for her until October, and it was her husband and wife who lost money. They were still waiting to save their manuscript fees to buy their own house.
"How about you return that short story and I'll give it to Yanjing Literature!"
Seeing that her mother remained silent and was already reading the novella in her hand, Feng Jiayou said again.
"Go, go, let me take a look first! Wait until I finish the novella!"
There was a thick pile of manuscripts. Mother Feng looked at her son-in-law next to her with a strange look. How fast could her son-in-law write so many manuscripts in such a short period of time?
Even though I wrote a lot, I still wrote so well!
Needless to mention the other three short stories, two of them have already been made headlines by Li Qingquan's Yanjing Literature. The one she kidnapped is even more incredible. It may be another one that is better than "Class Teacher" and " Scar" and "Wrangler" are bigger than the Star of David.
If they can seize this big star in October, they will surely surpass Li Qingquan’s Yenching Literature in the limelight.
Therefore, this manuscript, no matter what, cannot be given out. Even if it is kept in the backlog to monitor the current situation, Li Qingquan's Yenching Literature will not be given to him.
And the novella in my hand, just the beginning, even Mother Feng thought it would not be simple! But there is a thick stack, it must be said that there are more than 100,000 words, and it is hard to say if you can’t see it for a while!
……
"If my mother can read these two manuscripts, that's actually not bad! At worst, I will find time to write another one for Yanjing Literature!"
After returning to the house, Cheng Xuemin said to comfort Feng Jiayou.
"Xuemin, how did you get such a big brain?! How can you write such good manuscripts one after another!?"
Feng Jiayou looked at her man's face with great earnestness and fascination, and couldn't help but ask.
"Hey! Natural!"
"You may be a man born to eat this kind of food. Inspiration can come as long as your wife is willing to work hard!"
"It's a false alarm. Do you want to celebrate that we escaped this disaster?!"
Cheng Xuemin laughed, his smile was so lewd!
"Congratulations, you big-headed devil!" Feng Jiayou gave Cheng Xuemin a flirtatious look and pushed Cheng Xuemin away, but she didn't want to be so beautiful in her heart.
"No! If nothing else, my wife, you made a promise yesterday! I will help mom rush out a manuscript. As long as mom uses it, it will be considered a passed manuscript, and we should celebrate!?"
"Then let me ask you, has Mom finished the manuscript? Did she say that you will be in the next issue?"
"Well!"
Feelings: The whole day's excitement of rushing out manuscripts was all in vain! ?
That's not the case. Under Cheng Xuemin's hard work, the Feng family was so annoyed that they finally helped him eat it up.
The next morning, Feng's mother was looking very proud, carrying her bag and getting ready to go to work!
"Uh!? Mom, didn't you say you were too embarrassed to go to that class?! Mom, are you in a good mood?"
Feng Jiayou chased after his butt and made a joke!
"Debt collector, don't affect my mood!" Feng's mother was in a good mood today, because she had two large manuscripts in her hands, and they were all written by Lao Xu, the author of "The Wrangler". How could she be unhappy?
The most outrageous thing is that Lao Liu and the others don't know that this wrangler Lao Xu is her son-in-law Gu Xueqing.
If you say it, you will definitely scare them to death. Are you surprised or surprised?
She also laughed at her all day long that Gu Xueqing had hired a son-in-law with weak legs, and asked you which son-in-law could write a manuscript like "The Wrangler"? !
"Mom, aren't you proud!? Do you want me and Xuemin to go with you to make you look good!?"
Feng Jiayou chased after her again, laughing at the "pride" that her mother looked down upon yesterday. She herself was already in full bloom, and her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom!
