The article appeared in the newspaper, which is undoubtedly good news.
Later, Zhang Baoguo came. He was always steady, and he was an adult compared with his younger brothers. But this good news broke his usual "steady" shell, and he showed a joyful, slightly childish smile.
"Really? Show me."
Su Qianming happily brought him a newspaper.
There were two in total, and he asked for one, intending to keep it well.
When he goes back, he puts it in the most conspicuous place in the house, where anyone can see it.
Zhang Baoguo took it carefully.
"Here, above, the upper corner is written by your mother."
He looked at his name hanging on it, his mouth was open, and he wanted to jump up and shout loudly to express his happiness, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few younger brothers, cough, cough, be careful.
He is the big brother.
Su Qianming saw his expression in his eyes, hooked the corner of his mouth, and put it down quickly, they were all from here, and children of this age all pretended to be adults.
When I was young, I couldn't wait to become an adult, but when I became an adult, I would think back to the past from time to time.
Zhang Weiguo didn't know the big brother's prudent burden, so he walked over excitedly: "Big brother, you still have two yuan for the manuscript fee!"
Zhang Baoguo: "!!!"
Two dollars!
huge sum of money!
Su Hui nodded: "With me, I won't give this to you. I will keep it for you to pay tuition and buy school supplies."
Zhang Baoguo couldn't help touching the back of his head with his hand, raised his hand, realized that his actions were too stupid, and put it down again.
"Well! Mom, you keep it!"
He will write a few more articles when he goes back! If there are five entries, there will be ten yuan! His middle school and high school tuition fees are enough!
"Mom, what about yours?" His was selected, and he got two yuan in royalties, and his mother's was longer than his.
The corner of Su Hui's mouth also curled into a smile: "Three yuan."
Zhang Baoguo: "Great."
Zhang Weiguo: "I want to contribute too!" A lot of small money, he wants it too!
Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo are also very envious, but what if they don't get selected
Su Hui first affirmed: "You can contribute if you want." Then he poured cold water on it: "This article written by your elder brother was written by your elder brother after thinking about it for more than two months, and it has been revised many times."
Zhang Baoguo didn't take it seriously: "It's okay to write for half a year if it has anything to do with it."
Su Hui smiled, and when you hit the south wall, you will know whether to take it seriously or not.
Zhang Baoguo came after school, and after talking for a while, Su Zhong also came. He went home from the field, took a shower and brought food.
Seeing the excitement in the room, I was a little puzzled.
"what are you guys saying?"
Su Qianming raised a proud smile: "The article written by your sister and your nephew has been published in the newspaper."
He just took out the food in his hand, when he heard this, he was shocked: "Really?"
Su Qianming stared at him: "Of course it's true, how can it be false?"
He commanded his eldest grandson: "Show your uncle the newspaper in your hand."
Zhang Baoguo gave him the newspaper.
"What newspaper is this?" he murmured.
It was indeed saved by them, and according to Zhang Baoguo's finger pointing to see his and his sister's names, he checked carefully three times before he was sure.
"This, this is true, you are really this!" He gave a thumbs up.
Su Hui smiled, such compliments are generally not directly acknowledged, and Chinese people have always upheld the principle of modesty.
"I didn't expect to be able to win, and I was lucky."
Su Zhonghehe: "Luck is luck, and there must be your strength. Otherwise, no matter how lucky you are, you won't be able to get in. If the sentences written by others don't make sense, no matter how lucky you are, you won't be able to get into the newspaper."
Of course, he knew his sister's hard work, and now she is studying high school courses by herself. What surprised him was his nephew.
He is still a child, yet he has an article published in the newspaper. It is no exaggeration to say that he can brag about it for a lifetime!
Now he can't brag about his whole life, but he can brag about it for a few years. During the Chinese New Year and holidays, when there are guests, he will not worry about having nothing to talk about. This can be said for a long time.
He thought the same as Su Qianming: "This newspaper should be preserved when you take it home, and it's best to frame it."
He didn't read the content carefully, but kept staring at the name: "Is this the only one?"
Su Qianming hummed: "There are two copies in total, one for your sister and one for me. I'll take it home and put it at home when the time comes."
"There are only two copies in total." This is a bit small. "We can pay for it and buy more copies."
Zhang Baoguo also wanted to buy it: "This is a new one. Our newspapers are usually a few days late, and they will only be sold after a while."
Su Zhong was a little disappointed: "We still have to wait for a few more days."
Su Hui shook her head and continued to take out the food: "Dad, it's time for you to eat, are you hungry?"
The meal was prepared by Tian Siyi, thick boiled rice porridge, a plate of blanched vegetables, two slices of bacon, and two slices of sausage. For his healing, this meal is more generous than usual.
"fine."
At noon, I ate a meat bun sent by Baoguo, and then drank the big bone soup and mung bean dumpling sent by my daughter.
Su Hui put it out: "Then I'll leave it to you, we'll go back first."
They also have to prepare to cook when they go back.
Su Qianming looked out the window: "Chengcheng, it's getting late, you guys go back, be careful on the way."
They walked on the way back, not only Zhang Baoguo, but the four brothers walked a little bit swayingly.
What Zhang Baoguo thought in his heart was: the article I wrote has been published in the newspaper! I also got a huge manuscript fee of two yuan! I helped lighten the burden on the family, which is almost his tuition fee for one semester, keep up the good work!
Zhang Weiguo is ambitious: the articles written by his mother and elder brother have all been accepted. He writes slowly, and he will definitely be able to write good articles. At that time, he will also be able to publish in newspapers and get paid for the manuscript!
Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo: Mom and elder brother are awesome, really amazing, they are all featured in newspapers, and those who can be included in newspapers are all amazing, which means that his mother and elder brother are also amazing, should they also try to contribute? They are submitting articles at this level, no one will read them, but I’m looking forward to it~ Forget it, let’s take a look again, first of all, they will tell their little friends about this when they go back, mother and elder brother are so capable, they are newspapers There is only one copy, which is a pity, what if someone accidentally breaks it when you take it out? If it is broken, it will be gone, but if there is no newspaper, will others believe what he said? Oops, what a sweet annoyance...
Back home, those who boiled water boiled water, those who picked vegetables picked vegetables, each performed their duties, and soon their dinner was ready.
Before clearing away the bowls and chopsticks just after eating, Zhang Fenghua ran over: "Second Aunt, have you finished your meal yet?"
Su Hui: "I just had enough."
Zhang Fenghua: "Well, Second Aunt, Grandpa will come over if he is free."
It's not completely dark yet, even if it is, it's okay to walk in the village at night.
Su Hui knew that Zhang Gen wanted to ask about Su Qianming, since they were in-laws after all.
After she sent word to know that he was hospitalized, they would also ask about his concern and see how the situation was going.
"Okay, let's go now."
Zhang Weiguo pulled Zhang Baoguo: "Bring the newspaper."
He wants to tell his grandpa, he's going to tell them how powerful his mother and eldest brother are, and he will do it in the future!
This is a good thing, they held the newspaper and knew what they wanted to do at a glance, Su Hui smiled, this was enough for them to be proud for a long time.
When they got there, they had already finished their meal.
They were all sitting, and Li Manfen and Zhao Laidi were still holding rattan in their hands.
Seeing them coming, Zhang Gen asked her, "How is your father doing now?"
They each found a stool and sat down. Su Hui said, "I need to rest now. I'll stay in the hospital for three days, observe the situation, and then make a decision. But I should go home to recuperate after three days."
Zhang Gen: "How long is the recuperation? What did the doctor say."
Su Hui: "About three months."
Zhang Gen nodded: "It's true that you've been hurt for a hundred days. Are you still going tomorrow?"
Su Hui: "Go tomorrow afternoon."
Li Manfen immediately took out the egg that he had prepared earlier in the morning: "You give this to your dad to replenish his body, and we won't go to the hospital to cause trouble. We'll go and have a look when he comes back from the hospital."
Su Hui didn't refuse, and took it directly. This is a very common human relationship. If they knew that his father was injured and they didn't express anything, it would be very chilling.
These few eggs are not many, but they can be said on the surface.
Su Hui didn't care about Li Manfen's reluctance, she was just like this, she didn't care about it.
Zhao Laidi didn't speak, listened to their questions and answers, the corners of her mouth twitched, her father fell down and broke his leg, and had to be hospitalized, hehe, what is this, all day long he was blinded by geese, and his age They ran up the steep slopes of the mountain after they were born. Fortunately, they were taken care of. If they fell badly, like some people, they fall and become paralyzed, or their hands and feet are paralyzed, then they become a family. dragged down.
Zhang Weiguo obediently waited for grandpa and mother to finish talking about grandpa's physical problems. After talking, he took out the newspaper braggingly: "Grandpa, look!"
Seeing Xuanbao's attitude, Zhang Gen looked over and said, "What's wrong?" This is a newspaper. What news on the newspaper made him so excited
Zhang Weiguo pointed: "Look here, look here."
"This is... Zhang Baoguo?"
Zhang Weiguo nodded frequently: "Look here again!"
Zhang Gen: "...Su Hui?"
Zhang Gen also attended a literacy class, so he didn't know many characters, but he still knew the names of his own family members and some common characters. He looked at it again and again: "Is this the same name and surname?"
He didn't expect that this was what they wrote on it, he just thought it was the same name and surname.
Zhang Weiguo shook his head quickly: "No, this is the article written by my mother and elder brother!"
Zhang Baoguo smiled a little embarrassedly.
Zhang Weiguo was proud: "Mom and elder brother submitted the manuscript, and they accepted it. This is a sample paper sent together."
Zhang Gen: "!!!"
Zhang Gen's hands were trembling, and he carefully looked at the names of Su Hui and Zhang Baoguo.
Next to Zhang Weiguo is a line of small characters, indicating that he is from a certain middle school in a certain place, and his age is also a selling point.
He was right, and pulled him: "Bao Guo, you really wrote this?!"
"Yes." Zhang Baoguo coughed dryly twice, a little proud, a little proud: "My mother and I wrote it for a long time before we finished it. We tried it and sent it out. I didn't expect it to be accepted, and there is also a manuscript fee!"
Li Manfen closed her mouth wide open: "How much is the manuscript fee?" She couldn't read.
Zhang Baoguo didn't hide anything: "The article I wrote was two yuan, and my mother's was three yuan, so the total is five yuan."
Li Manfen: "!!!"
Zhao Laidi: "!!!"
Zhang Gen didn't care about money that much. Although the five yuan was not a lot, it was not so much that he was amazed. Compared with the newspaper, five yuan was more shocking to him than being in the newspaper.
He didn't know some characters, so he pulled Zhang Baoguo: "Come on, Baoguo, read to me, what did you write on it?"
Both Zhang Quan and Zhang Jinhua leaned over and listened. Li Manfen naturally cared, although she also cared about money, but the newspaper, she, who was illiterate and had never seen the world, knew what a newspaper was. If you want to read the things you told me, you have to spend money to buy them, and now the things written by her grandson are also published on it!
Zhang Jinhua's mood was the most complicated. He looked at Zhang Baoguo, his mouth moved, and he didn't know what to say, so he closed it again.
Fortunately, the second aunt said that he has always admired her, but the article written by Zhang Baoguo was also adopted. They are classmates, but after graduating from elementary school, he went to work with his parents to earn work points, and he chose to go to junior high school. , if he also chooses to go to junior high school, will there be such a thing
The corners of his mouth ticked up, and then powerlessly lowered, the gap in contrast made him unhappy.
Zhang Baoguo cleared his throat, and began to read in rhythmic rhythms.
Zhang Gen smiled when he heard it. Some things he didn’t understand, but it didn’t matter. He probably understood, which means that the motherland is getting better and better. These young men want to contribute their strength to the construction of the motherland urgently. Win glory for the country, be loyal to the country, and serve the country.
Zhang Gen said yes loudly, and then asked him to read what Su Hui wrote.
Hearing the excitement here, Zhang Gui and Zhou Xiaoqing came over with their children. There was only a wall between them, and it was very close, so any noise could be heard clearly if it was louder.
Zhang Gen's face was flushed, he wanted to sue his ancestors now, and tell them that his descendants had such promising descendants.
It's a pity that it's not suitable to do this now, otherwise he would have to burn a lot of paper money, thank the ancestors for blessing the smoke, and also talk to them about the current situation of the descendants, so that they can continue to protect the descendants while they are happy underground.
Zhang Gui: "Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? It's so lively?" Did he remember that the second sister-in-law's natal father fell and went to the hospital
This elated atmosphere is not quite like it.
Zhang Gen laughed, not the same as before when he was introverted and silent: "The article written by your nephew and your second sister-in-law was published in the newspaper, take a look, it is about your second sister-in-law and Baoguo name!"
When he leaned over to look at it, he gave him a sideways glance: "Look carefully, don't accidentally damage it, this newspaper is a thin piece of paper!" Be careful.
Zhang Gui also went to school, not to mention a lot, he knows all the basic characters and can write, especially the names of the family members, because usually the names of the family members are the first to be learned.
He looked at it again and again, and couldn't help feeling envious in his heart. If this was his name, or his son's name, then his entire face would really be covered. Will no one envy him
Zhou Xiaoqing also saw it while holding the baby, and couldn't accept it.
She is a female educated youth from the city, a high school graduate. This education is worthy of being admired by others in the city, but in the village, she is not as good as a village girl
Not everyone can publish on this newspaper, and this newspaper is also published in the entire province.
"Is there any manuscript fee? How much is the manuscript fee?" Zhou Xiaoqing also wanted to know what Zhang Gui asked.
Zhao Laidi snorted twice: "Five dollars, a total of five dollars." Seeing Su Hui proud, she was unhappy, but seeing Zhou Xiaoqing proud, she was unhappy now, and Zhou Xiaoqing was also unhappy. This way she is not so unhappy.
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, she saw unwillingness on Zhou Xiaoqing's face.
"Five yuan for just writing such a few things?!" Zhang Guizai read it carefully. Is the money so easy to earn? You can earn as much as five yuan just by writing a few words.
He thought the same as what Zhou Xiaoqing wrote, the second sister-in-law has not yet obtained her high school diploma, she is not as good as his daughter-in-law, the second sister-in-law can get so much, how can his daughter-in-law get more
Zhang Baoguo grinned: "Well, it can be used to pay tuition fees."
Li Manfen shut up.
Paying the tuition fees... Now I can't say that he is honoring the old couple. If she said that, the old man would definitely be furious.
Looking at everyone's happy faces, Zhang Jinhua looked a little strange to Zhang Baoguo.
He grew up faster than me, and was almost a head taller than me. Before that, we met every day in elementary school. Since he entered junior high school, we haven't played together for a while, and we all have things to do.
He didn't go to school, so he naturally had to go to work in the fields. He didn't do heavy work, and light work was inevitable.
He looked at the live calluses on his hands, shouldn't he not go to school
Zhang Gen said happily: "Yes, yes, yes, pay the tuition fee, do you still have this newspaper? Leave a copy here for me."
Zhang Baoguo shook his head: "No, just one copy." He didn't say that he gave his grandfather a copy.
"Can I buy it? Let's buy a copy and buy it with our own money." Zhang Gen was disappointed, and soon thought of spending money to buy it.
Zhang Baoguo continued to shake his head: "We shouldn't come out so fast here, every time the newspaper arrives at our place rather late." The exact time depends on the newspaper, some will be two or three days later than the release date, Some may be as late as a week.
Zhang Baoguo said happily, "When a newspaper comes out in a few days, I'll send you a copy."
Zhang Gen: "One serving is enough, give me ten servings."
At that time, he will keep three copies at home, give a few copies to his friends when he goes out, and secretly burn three copies to his ancestors, which is about the same.
Li Manfen was a little bit distressed about Qian: "Can you ask them to give us a few more copies of the newspaper? Everything you wrote is published on it."
Zhang Baoguo froze for a moment, then shook his head: "There is no such thing."
"Oh, so." Li Manfen herself didn't have any hope, now that she confirmed it, Li Manfen shook her head and sighed, but she also felt that it was too little.
If there are too few words, how can she stand up to show off? This time she has to show off fiercely. Newspapers are so perishable, so they are easily worn out or rotted. Of course, a few more copies should be prepared.
Zhang Gen reluctantly gave the newspaper to Zhang Baoguo: "You have to keep this newspaper well."
Seeing his grandfather's reluctance, Zhang Baoguo hesitated for a moment, then looked at Su Hui, Su Hui nodded, and Zhang Baoguo made up his mind: "Grandpa, I will give this to you, and I will buy another copy at that time." Although the meaning of this newspaper will be different, it is no different from other published newspapers, and the receipt of receipt he left at the newspaper office can also be kept as a souvenir.
And I left a copy on my grandfather's side, and a copy on my grandfather's side, which is just right.
"Then I'll accept it." Zhang Gen thought for a while, and decided to accept it, but gave Zhang Baoguo 20 cents: "You have a manuscript fee, but this is a reward from grandpa, well done! Empty!"
He got up, looked around the room, spread out the newspaper, to see where it would fit.
Stick to the wall? No, let's put it on the shelf. Put it in this position. If someone comes here, they can see it at a glance, but it's a bit low here. If a child is not careful, especially the son of the youngest son who is not yet sensible, he is still so young. , If you accidentally catch it, you will definitely not be able to keep it, and you cannot put it here.
He turned around a few times, but couldn't find a suitable place.
Forget it, it’s better not to put it in the living room, he will keep it for himself, and show it to them when someone comes.
