“Thank you for the compliment. If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known that my manuscript was published in the newspaper!”
Yi Qingqing was also very happy.
She got accepted on her first submission and it was published in the newspaper, which was as rare as appearing on TV in later generations.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, so discordant.
“Uncle Youtian, aren’t we going to dig ditches on the farm later? Can I go to visit? I am very curious about the farm model and want to find some materials to write something.”
Now that there was a precedent of being in the newspaper, Yi Qingqing felt more confident in what she said.
“Why not? Your Aunt Guihua mentioned it to me. We will blow the whistle to gather the day after tomorrow. Just come there when you hear the whistle.”
Zhao Youtian agreed without hesitation.
Today, the commune secretary said explicitly and implicitly that the article praised the Xiangshui Village Brigade a lot, but only mentioned the name of the commune once.
Isn’t it just that he wants the commune to show its face as well?
This farm is directly managed by the commune. If Comrade Yi goes to the farm to take a look, maybe she can write another good article. Then the secretary should be satisfied, right?
“Okay, your aunt is waiting for me to go home for dinner. I’ll leave!”
After Zhao Youtian reported the good news, he carefully folded the newspaper, put it back in his arms, put his hands behind his back, and walked away leisurely.
That step seemed to be full of pride.
Yi Qingqing silently looked at the time. It was just past two in the afternoon. Was the captain’s family having dinner so early?
Zhao Youtian walked down the slope of the educated youth point, turned a corner, and went to the village chief’s house.
Going back for dinner or something like that was just an excuse to do something not serious. He had to take such a good article back to appreciate it with his good brothers and then keep it carefully together with the honorary certificates of their Xiangshui Village Brigade.
The sensation caused by the captain’s visit to the educated youth point was quite extraordinary. Everyone was paying attention to it openly and secretly!
Among the four golden flowers, only Li Mengxue was absent because she went to the county town to make money.
On the boys’ side, Zheng Xiaolong also went to the county town, and Yun Guyuan was not in the room either. Only Chen Zhihe was there.
As soon as the captain left, Wang Lingling and Qian Lailai couldn’t help but ask.
“When did you submit your article to the provincial newspaper?”
“When I bought the newspaper and read it before.” Yi Qingqing said.
“You all know my mother’s requirement for a certain number of words in a letter. I have to write to her anyway. It’s so long and it’s very tiring, so I might as well polish it and try to submit it. If it’s selected, I’ll get a fee!”
At this point, Yi Qingqing suddenly thought of something.
“This is a way to make money. You can also consider it. What we learned in school is not completely wasted. It can still create wealth for us.”
She said this mainly for Qian Lailai to hear.
Qian Lailai made money by planting private plots and collecting firewood to sell to Li Mengxue and others, which was still very tiring.
If she could make some money by writing articles, she would not only be more relaxed, but she could also review her knowledge, so she would not forget all the knowledge she learned in school in the past few years in the countryside. It would also be helpful for the resumption of college entrance examinations in the future.
“I’ll just forget it.”
Wang Lingling was very self-aware. Her writing skills were average, so she couldn’t follow this path. She was also lazy and didn’t want to waste her energy.
However, she also encouraged Qian Lailai, “Come on, you can give it a try. I remember you said before that your academic performance was very good!”
“Well, of course, I can’t miss this way to make money.” Qian Lailai said.
