Chapter 72 Manuscript Review
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the village was shrouded in the quiet night.

Qin Xian turned on the light when he opened the door, and Li Yingtang immediately found an envelope on the ground, which should have been stuffed by the postman.

She picked it up and said, "Liberation Medical Journal. Ah Xian, here's the reply from the journal. I just submitted it the day before yesterday, and it came so quickly. Aren't they reviewing it? But there's only one envelope, so I guess the manuscript has been accepted. Take a look."

With him present, she couldn't open the letter openly.

Qin Xian suddenly hesitated to answer. Perhaps his paper was just one step away from being accepted, and a reply encouraging him to keep working on it wasn't impossible. Rejection, however, was still to come. "It's normal for manuscripts within the same city to take a day to be sent and received. If the editor-in-chief is reviewing it directly, it will indeed be received today. You see."

"You said so." Li Yingtang decisively opened the paper and read. "Dear author, thank you for your submission. After review and discussion by the editorial department, your paper has met the contract requirements and the manuscript fee is 55 yuan. If you agree, please contact us immediately. Congratulations, Ah Xian, you are amazing."

Two articles a week, and the quality is guaranteed.

Choosing him as a partner is the right person.

At least the IQ of the next generation has the chance to improve significantly.

Qin Xian smiled: "Let me see the address."

"Here, No. 9 Dongqian Street." Li Yingtang was worried that he wouldn't be able to find it, so he took out a map and pointed to the location: "It's not far from Ding's Xiqian Street. When are you going there?"

Qin Xian: "If you're free tomorrow afternoon, come over."

"Remember to wear the Cuiqing Guan Gong Wu Shi Pai I gave you. It's for good luck." Li Yingtang had just finished speaking when he changed his words: "Wu Shi Pai, there's nothing for you to do. It's unlucky, so don't wear it."

"Superstition is unacceptable." Qin Xian decided to cure her of this problem: "We are people of the new era, and everything should be based on science."

Li Yingtang yawned softly: "Are you done? I'm so sleepy."

Qin Xian: “.”

The next day, Qin Xian did not go into the city.

Towards the afternoon, a few people from the city’s health inspection office suddenly came to check the health station’s accounts.

Qin Xian accompanied them to verify each item until the evening.

After several people confirmed that everything was correct, they said goodbye: "Comrade Qin, I'm sorry to bother you today. Thank you for your cooperation."

"As I should." Qin Xian sent the man away. When he turned back, Li Yingtang came out of the room. "Isn't the health center's accounts the responsibility of your village accountant? Why are you recording them yourself? Isn't that like you're doing the work of two people? Why are you only getting one salary?"

Qin Xian nodded slightly: "Don't talk about money when it comes to dedication."

Li Yingtang: “.” What contribution have you made? It’s clearly exploitation.

Stupid or not?
"Do they conduct inspections once a year? Do health centers make that much money? There are multiple people surrounding you to settle accounts. The audits I've seen are all for investigating crimes, and if they don't have substantial evidence, they won't even come to verify."

Qin Xian narrowed his eyes slightly. Perhaps since Tang Tang came, his living standard has risen sharply.

Someone was jealous and reported him for corruption.

"Qin Xian, letter." The postman shouted from the roadside.

Li Yingtang ran over to receive the two letters: "Thank you." Turning over, she saw the senders were a Chinese Medical Association and a New Medicine Journal: "Ah Xian, the papers have all been replied to. I opened them." She tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter and unfolded it.

The formats of the two letters are similar to those sent by Jiefang Medical Magazine yesterday.

All the manuscripts have been approved.

The manuscript fee is 60 yuan for each article and 75 yuan for each article.

She was happy for him, happier than she was for making money: "All your papers have been accepted. The previous Yenching Magazine did not accept your paper. There must be something fishy going on."

Qin Xian was equally cheerful: "Maybe the editors have different preferences."

Li Yingtang: "I've submitted this article with a price of 75 yuan overseas. Don't rush to sign it yet. Wait for the news from outside."

"Okay." After receiving recognition, Qin Xian gained some confidence in himself.

I think it's not a bad idea to give it a try.

The next day.

Qin Xian went to the city early in the morning to finalize the contract, and Li Yingtang went with him to get the photos.

The photo is very good. He is tall, his posture is not tense, and he has a relaxed handsomeness.

She can’t be said to be particularly beautiful, but at least she is a good match.

Hey.

The guy was also very satisfied and suggested again to use it as a promotional photo.

"My family doesn't agree." Li Yingtang paid for the photos and negatives and went to Sunjia Hutong in the eastern suburbs. The door to No. 6 was still locked, so she asked the neighbors. "Hello, Auntie, is Xu Qingyue still here from her parents' home?"

The neighbor looked her over and said, "You came back early. You must have gone out to buy groceries. You look really neat. How old are you?"

Li Yingtang: "Who is not well-proportioned?" She did not tell the other party her age. "Where is the vegetable market?"

"Turn left at the alley ahead."

Li Yingtang went over to look for Xu Qingyue, but didn't see her and immediately returned.

The door of number six was still locked, and I was going to ask the neighbors.

The neighbor's door was also locked.

It seems that today is not the right time to meet.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Saturday.

Li Yingtang rode his bike to look for Qin Xian, but found him empty-handed, so he simply returned to the village alone.

As soon as she opened the door, Wu Hong called her, "Doctor Qin's family, you went to college, right?"

Li Yingtang: "What's wrong?"

"Isn't my brother-in-law a teacher? The other day he went to a meeting in the township, and after talking to others, he found out that he had the lowest education level. When he came back, he became more and more worried. He was afraid that the village chief would retire and the new one would not let him do his job. He was anxious to improve his education level, so he borrowed books and materials from high school students to read, but he didn't understand anything. He was so angry that he cried at home. Doctor Qin and you both have high education levels, so I thought of asking you to tutor me."

Li Yingtang promised: "With my guidance, he will be able to successfully pass the college entrance examination."

After all, I didn't finish high school.

It is too difficult to get into university.

Wu Hong laughed so hard that her nose started to bubble: "If he can get into a junior college, the Cheng family's ancestors will be very proud. Then the iron rice bowl will be in his hands, stable and secure."

Li Yingtang corrected him: "What's with the green smoke coming out of the ancestral grave? Superstition is not good! He passed the exam with my help, so it's my credit, okay?!"

"Okay, okay, if you pass the exam, I'll give you half a pig."

Li Yingtang took it as a joke and replied: "Okay, let's get ready now."

Arrived at Wu Hong's house.

Li Yingtang greeted the other party: "Hello, Teacher Cheng."

"No, just call my name."

Li Yingtang didn't know his name at all, but she knew how the Cheng brothers were ranked. According to the Cheng branch of the family Wu Hong married into, he was the tenth cousin from oldest to youngest. "Okay, tenth. Which question do you not know?"

“I don’t understand this question.”

Li Yingtang read the question, looked up similar examples in the book, analyzed them one by one, and guided the other party to draw a conclusion.

Wu Hong sat nearby and listened to Cheng Shi praising Li Yingtang: "You are so smart, how could I not have thought of it? I have classes in the afternoon, I will come to you directly after class."

Wu Hong said angrily, "How can you just go find someone? If the gossips in the village see you, who knows how much they'll spread. You have to ask me to come along."

"Hey, sister-in-law, I understand." Cheng Shi packed up his books and left.

Li Yingtang was also preparing to go home. It was cloudy today, and Wu Hong's house was too cold. "Mrs. Cheng, I'm going home first."

"........."
