SIAS Chapter 165.1

Next, Yi Qingqing spent three days reading through all the newspapers she had bought and then chose a column in the provincial newspaper that published essays and short stories.

The latest articles in this column include several articles about the autumn harvest, including ‘My Autumn Harvest Memoirs’, ‘Autumn Harvest Hero Zheng Cuifen’, etc.

Yi Qingqing felt that she could take advantage of the hot topic and write about the autumn harvest from the perspective of educated youth.

Besides, the provincial capital was not too far away, so it would be faster to send it there.

After choosing the subject matter, she summarized the writing style of the articles published in the provincial newspaper.

In short, literary talent is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is to conform to the main theme, to be positive and optimistic, and to express the current beautiful living conditions.

It is important to be able to flatter, and it is even more important to add one or two sentences of Chairman Mao’s quotations.

Finally, if it is somewhat readable, it will be perfect.

She began to write while flipping through Chairman Mao’s quotations.

Thanks to her mother’s daily torture and torment of writing letters, she developed the habit of observing life, and she had a lot of insights into the autumn harvest.

The parts that conform to the mainstream characteristics of this era were selected and polished, mainly reflecting the friendliness and simplicity of the folks in Xiangshui Village, as well as the experiences and feelings of the educated youth during the autumn harvest, showing the significance of the educated youth going to the countryside to study, and finally, connecting it with the sentences excerpted from Chairman Mao’s quotations to elevate the theme.

She also chose the most empathetic and resonant letter style and wrote about her first experience of autumn harvest in the tone of an educated youth who had just gone to the countryside, sharing the joy of the harvest with her family.

In this way, a ‘good article’ containing real feelings and slightly exaggerated flattery came out.

Finally, she asked her Chinese teacher to help her revise and provide some guidance.

The whole process took about three days.

Yi Qingqing believes that this article can not only provide some psychological comfort to the majority of urban parents whose children have moved to the countryside, but also conform to the main theme.

The writing style and rhetoric may not be very good, but its simplicity and plainness are also moving.

She took another afternoon to send the manuscript out.

She used her real name as the author. After all, if she flattered someone without leaving her name, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

Although Yi Qingqing was confident that she would be selected after learning about the writing level of the provincial newspaper, she no longer cared about it after sending the manuscript.

Anyway, when she was revising the manuscript these two days, she had already informed Aunt Guihua about it.

No matter whether her manuscript could be selected or not, the compliment had been leaked to the captain first. Later, she would go to the farm to look for inspiration and broaden her horizons, which would be justified.

After finishing this matter, she found an opportunity to sign in with Yun Guyuan a few times and stocked up on 5 Dali Yangyan Anshen Pills.

Then she started to count the days without spending a sign-in point.

Every day, she saw her sign-in point increase.

She watched it get closer and closer to 100.

It was not until the end of the autumn harvest and the last wheat stubble and sweet potatoes were harvested that Yi Qingqing woke up at four in the morning and finally saw that the number of sign-in points on her system panel had reached 100.
