The newspaper referred to the issue in which her article was published, and the letter paper was the newspaper’s formal reply, which was that the article had been selected by a certain column of the newspaper and published in a certain issue of the newspaper and that they welcomed her to submit manuscripts next time.
She was just an unknown newbie who had only submitted one manuscript, so this was normal.
The highlight was the remittance slip.
She slowly unfolded it.
It was written on it: 8 yuan, 0 cents.
“Eight yuan!” Qian Lailai was full of surprise, “So much!”
Wang Lingling looked at Yi Qingqing’s article in the newspaper and then looked at the manuscript fee: “I really can’t earn this hard-earned money.”
She couldn’t write such a good article. Even if she could, it would take a lot of effort. It was not worth it to earn eight yuan.
Yi Qingqing thought that this price was quite good for a manuscript of one or two thousand words.
A writer with some talent can support his/her family with this. If he/she can submit four or five articles a month, he/she is not much different from a worker.
“Qian Lailai, come on. You can do it too!” Yi Qingqing encouraged Qian Lailai.
“Come on!” Wang Lingling also cheered her on.
“Yes!” Qian Lailai nodded heavily.
“Go buy newspapers!”
“You two go ahead. I have to write a letter home. By the way, please help me find out whether there are any newspapers on this issue, and buy me three or five copies. I want to collect them!” Yi Qingqing said and took out fifty cents to give to Qian Lailai.
After all, it was the first time for her to be in the newspaper, so she had to keep a few copies and send one home.
This was also a good excuse to make her family believe that she was capable of making money on her own so that her parents wouldn’t have to live frugally and send her money. She really wasn’t short of money now.
She first opened the package and took out the letter.
“Qingqing, you have grown up, haven’t you? How come you only wrote a little bit this time? Not to mention two pages, you didn’t even fill one page!”
“I was halfway through reading, and your dad and brother were still looking at me, but then it’s gone!”
“If you do this again next time, be careful when you go home for the New Year!”
“I forgive you for the sake of these photos and the clothes you made for us.”
“Your parents are very happy that you made good friends in the countryside, but as the saying goes, no matter how good your friends are, you cannot be unreserved with them. You have to leave some room and not reveal everything to others.”
“My daughter’s face looks like mine, and you are really pretty. Unlike your brother, who looks like your father, he looks so-so.”
“These photos remind me that when you come back for the New Year, we should go to the photo studio to take a family photo.”
“Your father and I have been worried during this period, afraid that you wouldn’t be able to endure the hard work of the autumn harvest. I never expected that my daughter would be so capable that she was voted into the canteen!”
“It seems that this countryside is really a place to train people. Not only has my daughter’s cooking skills been recognized, but she has also started learning how to make clothes.”
“Although your father didn’t say it, he was so happy in his heart that he didn’t even button up his coat and went out with it open. Didn’t I know him? He just wanted others to see the new coat inside. Other people’s words have come to me.”
“Although we are happy about your filial piety, you should not just focus on the family. We can only feel at ease if you take good care of yourself.”
“This time, I have knitted all the woolen trousers and socks for you and sent them together. There are also some cloth tickets. You can use the fabrics to make yourself a few more new clothes. But the style should be simple. If you wear too nice clothes, it will easily cause trouble. You are alone in the countryside, so safety is the most important thing. Don’t just think about looking good.”
“I won’t tell you about the sizes of our family members so that you don’t have to make them for us again and waste your energy.”
“Finally, you know, the number of words in the reply cannot be too few!”
