Chapter 72 The small treasury finally made money (please vote for me)
The short story mailed to Shanghai Literature and Art is called "Female College Student Dormitory", which pays tribute to Yu Shan's award-winning masterpiece.
First Prize for National Outstanding Short Stories in 1983!
The whole article has more than 26,000 words. Shanghai Literature and Art followed him and copied it, and successfully sold it for seven yuan per thousand words!
Cheng Xuemin was pushing his bicycle while reading the reply from Shanghai Literature and Art!
In the letter, Shanghai Literature and Art said that in order to support Cheng Xuemin to continue to create better works, they specially applied for the highest possible manuscript fee of seven yuan per thousand words for him.
Cheng Xuemin wrote this in his submission letter:
I have just returned to the city from an ordinary life, and my family is in poverty. I have an eighty-year-old father and mother to support, and five or six children who are waiting to be fed. I hope that the minimum price of the guaranteed manuscript can be more than five yuan. If he can get the manuscript approved and pay a high price, their "Shanghai Literature and Art" will be his bread and butter from now on, and he will definitely continue to submit manuscripts to them.
Good!
Cheng Xuemin was only satisfied with the price of five yuan for a thousand words, but Shanghai Literature and Art directly mentioned to him the top price of seven yuan for a thousand words!
I can only say that Shanghai’s literature and art stand for justice!
From now on, they will be Cheng Xuemin’s parents. When I have a good manuscript in the future, I will definitely think of them as soon as possible.
Along with the reply to the sample issue, there is also this manuscript fee slip!
The remittance above is one hundred and ninety yuan!
In an instant, Cheng Xuemin felt so happy that his small treasury business was finally officially launched and remittances came in!
At the same time, I am also looking forward to a contribution to "Harvest" in Shanghai, and the article "Loess High Slope" in my hometown's "Yanhe Literature"!
Both of these two articles are long and short stories with more than 30,000 words. If they can sell like crazy and succeed as usual, and can also get the price of 7 yuan per 1,000 words, it will be really cool!
It is a pity that the short story and novella in my hands now were completed or almost completed under the supervision of his wife Feng Jiayou. However, they cannot be secretly entered into his small treasury.
But it doesn’t matter!
Now that his hand speed has caught up, and the library information in his mind is getting clearer and clearer, there will only be more and more tribute articles in the future. Why worry about the small treasury failing to achieve its great cause?
Moreover, Cheng Xuemin also began to pay attention to those award-winning foreign language masterpieces to see if he could get through his father-in-law's back door as soon as possible and publish some foreign language manuscripts to earn some foreign exchange coupons.
His article "Wrangler" is said to be in the process of being published on the front page of "Chinese Literature" published by the Foreign Publishing House, and the plan is to have Mr. Qian from the yard translate it.
If Mr. Qian finally refuses to give in to Yenching Literature, then Cheng Xuemin will do it himself. Anyway, Cheng Xuemin has several foreign-language versions of "Wrangler" in his mind, so he will still pay tribute.
In this way, you can still earn some translation fees, and you can still get foreign exchange coupons.
Today is a good day. I have to go back and celebrate with my wife tonight!
When he arrived at the downstairs of Feng Jiayou’s dormitory, Cheng Xuemin carefully hid the sample letter and manuscript fee slip sent from Shanghai Literature and Art!
Don’t let the Feng family discover that the great cause of the small treasury collapsed before it was completed.
"Cheng Xuemin, you wait downstairs, I'll call you Jiayou!"
As soon as they arrived downstairs from the Feng family's dormitory, Huang Beijia's voice came from upstairs, and Cheng Xuemin replied: "Okay, sorry for the trouble, thank you!"
Now Cheng Xuemin has spread in the Feng Jiayou class, especially in her dormitory. Everyone knows that he is the lover and family member of the new student Feng Jiayou!
It’s not too normal for the new students to go to college with their family members accompanying them.
Even in the 1980s after the new third semester, there are still many college students who are married and accompanied by their families.
Again, the past ten years have stagnated the progress of too many young people. Once the college entrance examination was resumed, thousands of troops and horses rushed across the single-plank bridge.
If you don’t pass the exam in the first year, you will take the exam in the second year. If you don’t pass the exam in the second year, you will continue in the third year. Year after year, there are even people in their thirties and forties who are still taking the exam!
The young people of our generation must have the enterprising spirit to strive for progress and fight again and again.
"My dear, your lover is here to pick you up. He's downstairs!" Huang Beijia entered the bedroom and followed Mr. Feng, who was immersed in writing at the table in front of the bed. Are you going to write a review? I’ve never seen you being so enthusiastic about the Wrangler.”
Mao glanced at it and saw that it was the same article that was returned by Wenhui Po. It was a review of the Wrangler.
Feng Jiayou is not usually very enthusiastic about Wrangler Lao Xu, so when she writes reviews for others, it was her suggestion to Zha Jianying that they write them together!
But now it’s good. They were forced to back down due to the increasingly higher requirements of Dianping, and they didn’t want to do it anymore!
Nowadays, the worst people who can write reviews about Wrangler Lao Xu are well-known writers and editors. Even Ding Ling was included in the review two days ago!
Without ordinary readers like them, what would happen to new writers, unless their writing is particularly good and their angles are particularly novel!
Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying thought it was useless, it was too complicated, so they didn’t worry about submitting comments anymore!
Now, it is Feng Jiayou who is still stubbornly revising the manuscript without showing off his integrity, which makes Huang Beijia look at him with admiration!
"Tch! Are you enthusiastic? I think you are too passionate and in love!"
The young Feng family and her husband were waiting downstairs, so they quickly packed up the manuscripts on the table while laughing at Huang Beijia!
She also said she was not very enthusiastic!
Huang Beijia, Cha Jianying and the others are very passionate, even passionately in love!
But one review made them retreat and stop writing!
Go straight to the real thing, write letters to the author himself, Mr. Xu, the Wrangler, send movie stamps, and invite people to watch movies together.
Can she, Feng Jiayou, compare with them?
If they back off, they will back off, it doesn’t matter! But who is Mr. Xu, the Wrangler! ?
It’s really her Feng Jiayou’s lover, Xu Lingjun!
Can it be justified that she, Li Xiuzhi, cannot write a review for him?
So when Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying gave up, she was the only one who persisted.
Rather than competing for steamed buns, her man has already written about the Wrangler and made it popular. She, the Feng family, is really that bad. How can she write a review for her man and fail to get it published?
"Hee hee, my dear, you are so in love with one of us that you can show us! Your man is waiting downstairs!" "So, you are different from us!"
Huang Beijia raised her beautiful eyes and made a joke about Feng Jiayou.
"Yes, yes! Beijia, you are indeed right. I am indeed different from you. Who told me that I am a woman with a family!"
Feng Jiayou packed up his schoolbag, shrugged and said calmly, "So I can only write the manuscript and comment on it. Wrangler Lao Xu, our Yanda talented man, I will leave it to Beijia and you guys!"
"By the way, Beijia, if you don't have time to watch a movie together on Saturday, don't tell me that you secretly made a date with Wrangler Lao Xu!"
Before leaving the house, Feng Jiayou turned around and deliberately provoked Huang Beijia.
"...Go, my dear, your lover is waiting downstairs. Who made an appointment with Wrangler Lao Xu to watch a movie? My dear, please don't talk nonsense!"
Suddenly, Feng Jiayou hit him in the door of his life unexpectedly. Huang Beijia was so embarrassed that she quickly drove them away angrily.
Feng Jiayou nodded playfully at Huang Beijia. She forgot what she wanted to say, so she simply turned around and walked out. She stuck her head out of the railing and found that her man was indeed waiting downstairs, facing her. Someone shouted from downstairs: "Here we come!"
"Slow down!"
Cheng Xuemin downstairs was so frightened when he saw the woman's fast footsteps that he shouted repeatedly!
What's so exciting? Why are you running around like a big-bellied woman? ?
"How's it going? Xuemin, tell me... what did the big boss say when he summoned you?"
Cheng Xuemin's bicycle just got on and passed through a small forest. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no familiar classmates around, Feng Jiayou couldn't wait to ask in a low voice.
"I didn't say anything! You just informed me that the manuscript has been passed! But there are some parts that need to be revised, and I have got the original manuscript back!"
Cheng Xuemin stared at the bicycle and briefly told the woman what happened in the Zhonghai leadership office today!
"What!? Xuemin, you mean that Mr. Mao and Mr. Ding Lingding are also accompanying you to help you review and revise the manuscript?"
"Moreover, the top leader asked us to revise the manuscript more profoundly, preferably to reflect the social requirements of opening up new ideas?"
After listening to Cheng Xuemin's narration, Feng Jiayou's eyes, which were already bright and big, were really shocked like bells!
What a shock!
Unexpectedly, the literary giant and leader Xiu Mao Laodu accompanied him to meet his man!
And the manuscript that her father thought was a little too hasty was said by the leaders to be too conservative?
Change! ?
"Yes! Wife, do you know!? This manuscript of mine has alarmed those people!"
After leaving the gate of Yan University, Cheng Xuemin noticed that there was no one around him, and then mysteriously mentioned the most important news to the Feng family.
"Who was alarmed!?" Feng Jiayou's expression became even more stupid!
Knowing your man’s urinary properties, he usually saves the most important things for last, which is too calm!
Both Mr. Mao and the depth of the manuscript had already shocked the Feng family to the point of being completely mutilated, and now her man has returned mysteriously!
Is that okay?
She asked in an almost trembling tone, because she seemed to have already guessed which way it was!
“It’s over there at the Plenary Session!”
Damn it!
Feng Jiayou cried out in her heart, she actually guessed it, over there!
This, this, this... did her man listen directly to the sky?
“What do you say over there?!”
Shiver, tremble!
At this moment, Feng Jiayou hugged Cheng Xuemin's strong waist tightly, except for trembling, there was nothing left but trembling!
"The official review over there said that my manuscript was timely!"
Cheng Xuemin was also a little confused. After traveling here for a few months, he even alerted the other side, and even received an official comment from there.
It is conceivable that the future ‘Pioneering Reform’, an honorary title with great career significance, must be none other than Cheng Xuemin, the author of “The Taking of Factory Director Qiao”!
With such an honorary title, it is not an exaggeration to say that it shines brightly in history.
After all, whenever it comes to reforming in the future, Pioneers will definitely not be able to get around it. Even if they are pioneers in the literary world, they are still Pioneers!
"What? Oh my god! Xuemin, you are... so awesome!"
Thousands of words, so excited that the Feng family didn’t even know how to praise it!
Everyone over there has designated Comments on Timely Rain, doesn't that mean... the career capital his man has earned in this wave has exploded?
You know, Feng Jiayou knows why her mother is so keen on her son-in-law's article. She just hopes that her son-in-law can earn a lot of capital before entering the official career like Liu Xinwu from her work unit.
Literary people in the literati circle basically behave like this! Therefore, her mother hopes that her son-in-law will enter politics in the future!
But I didn’t expect that I would really make a lot of money this time!
"Comrade Feng Jiayou, keep a low profile, be humble, hold on tight and steady!" Cheng Xuemin is also very arrogant, but he can control it more or less. Feng Jiayou is really going to be so arrogant, for fear that she will be alone. Without paying attention, he fell straight off the bicycle.
"Understand, understand, keep a low profile! My mother will definitely love you to death this time!"
Feng Jiayou was so excited that she nodded incoherently. She really couldn't imagine what her mother's expression would be like. She must be as excited as she is now!
Don't be too satisfied with the son-in-law she chose, right? Now, she must be extremely proud of her son-in-law, right?
