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

Chapter 81: A blessed place for submissions, whoever submits will have his or her manuscript accepted? (Ask for monthly votes

"Female College Students' Dormitory" is indeed well written. Huang Beijia and others read it and they all resonated with it.

Feng Jiayou was even more arrogant and exchanged the sample issue of "Yenching Literature" with the female classmate for the copy of "Shanghai Literature and Art" in her hand!

Now, I read happily while eating, and sigh from time to time: "Beijia Jianying, how come we are both college students, why can't we write such a manuscript?"

"Yes! Shanghai literature and art may be popular again this time! In August this year, an article called "Scars" became popular, and it was also written by a college student!"

Cha Jianying sat on a long bench with Feng Jiayou, and they also ate while watching and nodding in agreement with the comments.

"I think Lao Xu's "The Gratitude of a Loving Heart" is better!"

Huang Beijia was still flipping through the sample issue of Yenching Literature in her hand. She found that the new manuscript written by her wrangler Lao Xu was better.

"Lao Xu's new manuscript is indeed well written. He is also a college student! How come they are so strong and powerful?"

Cha Jianying continued to talk like a talkative idiot, nodding repeatedly.

Cheng Xuemin didn't say anything, just focused on eating. After dinner, he sent Feng Jiayou to the dormitory to rest early so that he could go to the message room to pick up the reply from Yanhe Literature.

How much is the payment for the manuscript that Yanhe Literature will send him by mail this time?
Is it five yuan or six yuan per thousand words?

The maximum charge of 7 yuan per thousand words, a local publication or magazine publisher shouldn't be so arrogant, right?
If the writer is not a very famous old writer, local publications like "Yanhe Literature" generally will not directly pay the maximum price of 7 yuan per thousand words.

But thinking that 6 yuan for 1,000 words is not bad! A 30,000-word novel brings another 180 yuan into the small treasury.

Five yuan per thousand words is not unacceptable! If it is only four yuan per thousand words, I will not support the cultural construction of my hometown next time!

"My dear, you, you, you... have you published your manuscript again?!"

I'm eating!

Huang Beijia suddenly screamed, almost scaring all the students and teachers who were having dinner in the Changzheng Hotel!

They all looked over here, curious about who this amazing student author "Jiayou" was? Is it really so sharp and powerful to write for magazines nowadays, and all submissions will be accepted and published?

"Bejia, you just realized it! I was...either inviting you to dinner or to the movies, and you just ignored me like that!?"

"How long have you had the sample issue? My name is right there in the catalog, and you just ignore me!"

"You guys are amazing. You only saw it now. I went all the way to Yanjing Literature this morning to bring you the sample issue!"

Well, I finally found Feng Jiayou’s masterpiece, right?

Feng Jiayou has been waiting here!
Seeing Huang Beijia suddenly yell, Feng Jiayou was also startled, but was not frightened. After reacting, he pretended to smile with resentment.

"Jiayou's manuscript has also been published?" Cha Jianying was even more stunned. After hearing what Feng Jiayou said, he quickly reached out to grab the sample issue from Huang Beijia's hand.

"Wait for me to finish reading, wait for me to finish reading, Jianying, why are you so anxious!" Huang Beijia refused to grab the article and lowered his head to read Feng Jiayou's article. It was a comment that came from his feelings after reading The Shepherd.

"Jiayou, you're really good at hiding this! You passed the manuscript without showing off! I was wondering why you suddenly thought of inviting Jianying and me to dinner today!"

While pressing the button to read, he said to Feng Jiayou without even looking up, "Didn't Bai Ling say that the quality of the manuscripts accepted by Yanjing Literature this time is very high? Ordinary manuscripts were accepted before, but not this time!"

"My dear, you have even passed the Beijing Literature Examination, you are amazing!"

It's not a big deal, but in this issue of Yenching Literature, which is the most difficult to pass, Feng Jiayou's manuscript was passed!
Huang Beijia couldn't help but sigh with disgust!

Because Bai Ling had said that her article would be approved for publication in this issue if nothing unexpected happened, but something unexpected happened.

The book "The Shepherd" happened to be a hit at Yenching Literature, which caused Yenching Literature to become popular as well. Submissions from all over the country came in like snowflakes, and it was impossible to read them all.

There were countless high-quality manuscripts, so Huang Beijia's manuscript, which barely passed, was directly rejected!

But in this situation, how come Feng Jiayou's comment was approved?
Huang Beijia also flipped through it and found that in this issue of Yenching Literature, only Feng Jiayou's review of "The Shepherd" stood out.

"Shh! Jiayou, did you really pass the manuscript? Was it that Wrangler who reviewed it?!"

Cha Jianying couldn't snatch the sample issue from Huang Beijia's hand, so she was anxious and had to let Feng Jiayou sit still. She stood up and moved to the long bench where Huang Beijia was sitting, squeezing in to read together.

She discovered that it was indeed Feng Jiayou's name, the review that she had previously submitted to Wenhui Daily, and she couldn't help but exclaimed!

"Hehe, thanks to the blessing of the Wrangler Lao Xu, I was lucky enough to get this article approved! Today, Teacher Zhou... also said that the angle I chose for this review was very good, and no one had written from this angle before, so he thought it was okay and published it for me!"

Feng Jiayou is humble, but she also has a sense of pride in her bones!
"Old Zhou said the angle was a good choice?"

Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying's eyes widened in shock. Even Mr. Zhou from Yenching Literature said it was good, so it must be really well written!

Stop responding and read Feng Jiayou's review carefully to understand why the angle he chose is so good!
"It's just that, actually. I'm still grateful to the shepherd, Old Xu! So for today's meal, I'll treat you according to the old rules. Is that ok?"

"Then it must be you, Jiayou! You have already published your manuscript and earned royalties! And it's the most difficult issue of Yanjing Literature. Those classmates in our class must be so jealous!"

Huang Beijia responded with a "as it should be" tone, teasing Feng Jiayou with a sour taste!
How can it be written so well? How can Jiayou think of writing a review of the Wrangler from this angle?
I have to say, Huang Beijia was convinced and admitted defeat!
Originally, she, like Cha Jianying, was one of the first readers of the advance version of The Shepherd, and they started writing their reviews at almost the same time!
But in the end, both of them gave up, and it was Feng Jiayou, who was the least concerned, who had his manuscript accepted and published!

"That's right! Our dormitory must have exploded by now!"

"So you, Jiayou, brought back so many sample magazines and distributed them to your roommates. You had no good intentions, didn't you?!"

"Now that they have finished reading Lao Xu's new work, they must have discovered your masterpiece!" Cha Jianying was also very jealous!
They all wrote reviews for the shepherd Lao Xu, so why didn't her manuscript get approved, while Feng Jiayou, a married woman who cared the least, got her manuscript approved?
Just think about it, it makes me angry!

How great it would be if it was Cha Jianying who reviewed the manuscript today!

In this case, when I watch a movie with the Wrangler Lao Xu tonight, isn’t this review the best gift for Lao Xu?

What a pity, why did it happen to Feng Jiayou, a married woman? Chunchun wasted such an opportunity to please the horse shepherd Lao Xu.

Well, at this moment, Huang Beijia’s mood must be very similar to Cha Jianying’s, exactly the same!
I wish this review was hers!

This way, tonight’s date to watch a movie will be the best gift for meeting someone!
Of course, Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying were not the only ones feeling this way. Everyone in the dormitory who saw Feng Jiayou's manuscript was in the same mood!
What’s more, what’s even more meaningful is that it’s published at the same time as the new work of the shepherd Lao Xu!
To be honest, isn't this a fate that was destined by fate?

Thinking of this, Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying became even more envious and jealous!

"Hehe, what a coincidence!"

Feng Jiayou can understand the sisters’ inner misery, but if it’s not yours, it’s not yours, and there’s nothing she can do about it!

The meal was so delicious, I just can’t put it into words!
The three of them went back to the dormitory together, while Cheng Xuemin quickly pedaled his bicycle towards the message room.

"Uncle, this is my letter from Huangtu Gaopo, it's from Yanhe Literature in northern Shaanxi, can you help me take a look?"

This time, Cheng Xuemin went straight to the point and did not give the security guard a chance to question him.

"Young man, why do you look familiar to me? Are you the student whose manuscript was rejected by People's Literature?"

The security guard is indeed old and very forgetful!
This Tuesday, Cheng Xuemin came to pick up the reply letter from Shanghai Literature and Art regarding the manuscript of "Female College Students' Dormitory" that was mailed to him. At that time, he had some arguments because the recipient was a female student!

But just a few days later, he, the author of "Female College Students' Dormitory", was forgotten?
It’s better to forget it!

If people don't forget, it won't take long before the news that Kuang Yalan, the author of "Female College Student's Dormitory", is also a student of Yenching University will spread.

By then, there might be another wave of "Who are you, Kuang Yalan?" people searching for someone. I just wonder if every department of Yanda University will put forward a female student who is suspected to be Kuang Yalan to compete!
"Yes, yes, yes, sir, you have a very good memory. You can remember clearly every time I submit an article!" Cheng Xuemin couldn't help but nodded with a forced smile!

"Of course! In my early years, I was a famous stenographer in the conference room of Yanda University!"

"*** ago, there was a big meeting in Zhonghai, and I was invited to help!"

Row!
I don’t know if this guy is just bragging, but he is really that awesome that Zhonghai even invited him to be a stenographer at a large conference?
If this is bragging, then he really dares to brag; if it is not bragging, then he is even more awesome!

But now?
Cheng Xuemin could only laugh. If it weren't for this old man's 'good memory', even if Cheng Xuemin had hundreds of aliases, they would still not be enough for this old man to reveal the information!
"Oh, I got it!"

After searching for a while, the security guard took out a large envelope, weighed it, and said with regret: "Young man, this is a lot... another rejection letter! But don't be discouraged, young man, as long as you persist, the clouds will clear and your manuscript will be published!"

"A few days ago, a young man like you had his manuscript published at Yanda University!"

"It seems to be from Shanghai. The young man was standing right where you are now, and he opened the letter right in front of me!"

"Oh my goodness, isn't there a sample magazine and a payment slip inside?"

"I took a look at it, and it's 190 yuan for the manuscript, that's quite impressive!"

It was indeed a big envelope. Cheng Xuemin guessed that it must be another sample magazine sent there!
This old man is indeed talkative, forgetful and has a good memory!

I can even remember clearly that day when I opened the envelope and showed him the manuscript fee receipt in front of him.

The only thing he forgot was that he couldn't recognize Cheng Xuemin, a living person!

OK, this forgetfulness can be selective, awesome!
"Yes, yes, you are right, sir. Young people must persevere. More haste, less speed. You still need to practice the basic skills well!"

"But sir, this doesn't look like a rejection letter. Did I get the manuscript approved?!"

"Uncle, can you help me check this? Is this the legendary manuscript fee slip? I have never written a manuscript, and I have never seen a manuscript fee slip!"

"Uncle, please help me take a good look at this. Is this a manuscript fee receipt?!"

Cheng Xuemin once again opened the letter from Yanhe Literature in front of the old man, and inside was indeed a thick sample issue and a reply from Yanhe Literature expressing its willingness to accept his manuscript!

The attached document must be the payment slip!

Cheng Xuemin took it out and the first thing he looked at was the amount on it!
One hundred and eighty-five dollars!
It was exactly as Cheng Xuemin expected. Yanhe Literature did not give the maximum price of 7 yuan per thousand words!

But six yuan per thousand words is already very generous. After all, this is Cheng Xuemin's first submission. For a newcomer to get a manuscript fee of six yuan per thousand words from a local publication is already very generous!

"Fuck... what did I say? I said this is a paradise for submissions, anyone who submits will have their manuscript published!"

"Young man, that's right, that's right, this is the legendary manuscript fee slip! Young man, you are really amazing, you are the third person here who has received a manuscript fee slip!"

The security guard was encouraging Cheng Xuemin, saying that young people should persist and not be too impatient for success. One has to be able to calm down and write good academic articles!
But who knows!

This young man took out a receipt for royalties in front of me again!
Wow, it’s another 180 yuan in royalties, which is more than his salary for half a year!

I really shouted out “Fuck it!”, “You are my uncle!”, my old face is burning with pain!
