1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 35: Front page headlines? You can get on the front page whenever you want? (Please read on)
"Mom, is it true?!"

Geek!

Feng Jiayou's reaction was a little big. Seeing the royalty slip her mother handed over, she stood up in surprise. Then the long bench under her buttocks flipped over!

He almost knocked Cheng Xuemin, who was sitting on the bench, to the ground.

"Be careful!"

Cheng Xuemin was so frightened that he quickly looked to see if Feng Jiayou was okay!
Isn’t it just a manuscript?

Woman, are you really that excited?!

"Be careful, slow down, there's a baby in your belly!"

Father Feng was also shocked by this and pointed at Feng Jiayou and scolded him.

"Wait a minute!" Mother Feng rolled her eyes and threw the manuscript fee slip over, mumbling, "You did a good job revising it this time. Old Liu was so surprised that he praised you a lot!"

"And your article was originally scheduled to be published in this issue, so it had to wait until the next issue! It was Lao Liu who withdrew his article and gave priority to yours!"

Although a manuscript is nothing to Editor-in-Chief Liu Xinwu, they still have to express their gratitude.

"It's also the front-page headline?!" Editor-in-chief Lao Liu's manuscript has been withdrawn, and her manuscript is replaced. Wouldn't it be the front-page headline?
Feng Jiayou asked without thinking.

If her article was also selected as the front-page headline of October, wouldn't it mean that the couple, together playing the piano and flute, would dominate half of the front page of Yenching Magazine this month?
If Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying and the others knew about this, Feng Jiayou would be really embarrassed this time!

"What do you mean by front page headlines? Are you overthinking it?!" Mother Feng rolled her eyes at Feng Jiayou again, but after a while she came to her senses and asked, "What do you mean by also front page headlines?!"

"The article written by your classmate Cha from Yanjing University was selected as the "front page headline" by Yanjing Literature?"

No wonder Feng’s mother thinks too much!

This afternoon, when they were in the office of editor-in-chief Lao Liu, finalizing the draft and publishing a sample issue, Li Qingquan from Yenching Literature called them and thanked them for nothing, and even invited them to dinner!
This made Old Liu suspicious. He was wondering if their magazine "October" had missed a manuscript this time, so he tried to pass the blame on and recommended others to submit to Yenching Literature, hoping that Li Qingquan would take advantage of the leak.

This caused Lao Liu to ask their editorial department to immediately start self-examination and cross-review on the spot.

After a whole afternoon of self-examination, I didn't find any outstanding manuscripts. I missed it!

I thought maybe I was just overthinking it!

But she didn't know that once she got home, she could actually get a manuscript out of the debt collector by asking him questions.

Cha Jianying from the Chinese Department of Yenching University submitted his manuscript to them in October but it was rejected. He then turned around and submitted it to Yenching Literature and it was accepted!

So, there is indeed such a manuscript, which was rejected by them in October, and recommended to be submitted to Yenching Literature, and they accepted it!

how! ?
Now from what the debt collector said, Yenching Literature has given this article a front-page headline?
"No, no! I just said it without thinking. Editor-in-Chief Lao Liu! His article must be on your front page, right?! I thought if my article was on the front page, it would also be on the front page!"

He is so quick-witted. Feng Jiayou has indeed become much quick-witted recently because of Cheng Xuemin.

I blurted it out without paying attention and almost let it slip!

"No! Lao Liu's article was written at the last minute, and there was no plan for his front-page headline!"

"Besides, how can it be that easy to get on the front page? If the article is not particularly outstanding and closely follows the thoughts, we dare not easily make it to the front page!"

Mother Feng heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She was really afraid that if anything came out of the debt collector's mouth, it would be the headline of the front page!

He immediately shook his head and continued to say to Feng Jiayou, "Let alone your manuscript. Although the revisions are okay, it is still far from the level of being able to make the front page headlines!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Mom, I think what you said is absolutely right! If the manuscript is not extremely excellent, it is not qualified to be on the front page!"

"Mom, you're absolutely right. I fully agree with you!" Feng Jiayou nodded in agreement frantically, but he didn't know how proud and happy he was in his heart!

Is it difficult to get on the front page headlines?
Your son-in-law Cheng Xuemin submitted two manuscripts to Yenching Literature. One was on the front page this month, and the other was on the front page next month. Isn’t that amazing?!

After saying that, Feng Jiayou took a special look at Cheng Xuemin. The two front-page headlines were sitting right here!
"Hurry!"

Cheng Xuemin's throat clenched, and he was already thinking about the scene of handing over the traitor Feng Jiayou after the incident!

I really don't know if she will be beaten to death by her arrogant mother-in-law! ?

I was even more determined to make money and buy a house and move out!
You must move out of this place of trouble before anything happens and stay away from the place where beauty occurs.

I've never seen a mother and daughter like this. They can really kill people!
"That's how it is!" Feng's mother nodded. She was very pleased that the debt collector didn't aim too high and wanted to make the front page of the first article. She continued, "I won't say anything else. Keep up the good work!"

"When the sample issue comes out, I'll bring back a few extra copies. You can take them to school and help us promote them in October!"

"Also, hurry up and start writing another article, so that I can publish one next month after the manuscript is passed!"

Although there was no concept of advertising in that era, Feng's mother asked her family's debt collector to go to the Chinese Department of Yan University to show off, which could also be regarded as helping them spread the word for October!

At the same time, we must strike while the iron is hot and write another article before this positive inspiration fades.

As long as it's not too bad, I'll help her get it published as soon as possible to save her impression among her classmates.

"I can write, but the royalties... Yenching Literature pays a lot, so you really don't have any advantage!"

This acceptance of the manuscript gave Feng Jiayou enough confidence. Her mentality of not wanting to write an article for her mother changed instantly, and she had to lick it!

"The next one will be the same as Yenching Literature, five yuan! The same goes for the rest of you and your classmates. If you have a good manuscript, we'll all start at five yuan!"

The manuscript fee is one dollar less than that of Yenching Literature, so it really needs to be increased. Although their manuscript acceptance requirements in October are not as high as those of Yenching Literature!
It was just that I stopped the debt collector in her house and gave him some strict requirements, but it backfired and scared her classmates!
Therefore, it is necessary to take rescue measures and raise the royalties to the same level as Yenching Literature.

"Well, since I've already published one, I can be considered your October veteran author, right? The price for veteran authors in Yanjing Literature is six yuan per thousand words!"

Feng Jiayou became more and more greedy and wanted to raise the manuscript fee to the same level as Cheng Xuemin's salary at Yenching Literature, which was a maximum of seven yuan per thousand words!

"Then why don't you submit it to Yanjing Literature?! If it doesn't get rejected, I'll rewrite Gu Xueqing's Gu in reverse!" Feng's mother would not tolerate her being so arrogant. It's been several months since she could barely finish one manuscript, and yet she dared to raise the price from them so blatantly?

All day long she talks about Yenching Literature, so let her submit it and give it a try. She won't be beaten up if she doesn't write Gu Xueqing's Gu backwards.

"Lay a good foundation first. You won't be able to write a good manuscript if you're too eager for quick success!" Father Feng frowned and was about to choke again.

Moreover, Feng Jiayou’s thinking is a bit biased. Young people are too eager for quick success and instant benefits. If this happened in the past few years, he would have been criticized!
"Jiayou, five yuan for a thousand words is already very impressive. For me, being able to publish is very impressive!" said the second sister-in-law Sun Juan, and she was also very envious.
It costs more than 60 yuan to publish an article, which is enough to cover her expenses for several months!
"Yes, yes! Sister, your royalties are more than 60 yuan! Give me some pocket money!" Feng Jiamo's eyes were fixed on the royalties slip in her sister's hand, and she really wanted to snatch it away.

"Don't write it backwards, I can't afford it!" Feng Jiayou muttered to herself, thinking that since her man Duxiu was in front, as long as it was not too bad, Yenching Literature would at least give her some face and approve her manuscript!

By then, Mom will have to fall even if she doesn't want to!

Sitting back on the bench, he continued, "You can write it, but I have to make it clear that I will only revise the manuscript three times at most in the future. But I will submit it to someone else, and don't blame me when the time comes, Mom!"

"Just keep your writing good and maintain the quality of this article. I don't need you to change a single word!"

Feng's mother was also mumbling in annoyance and even made three rules for her?

If it is well written, no word needs to be changed; if it is poorly written, it must be changed until it is usable.

As for finding another smarter choice?

You give it a try!
