"Huaying, Lin Shan."
Jiang Yuangang also received a package and a letter. The package was sent by her eldest sister, but the letter was sent by Jinling Mail. After reading it, she immediately came to find them.
"What's wrong?" they both asked in unison.
"Brother Zhe wrote me a letter."
Jiang Yuan was a little surprised to receive his letter and showed it to them. "Brother Zhe said that the Jinling Military Region Newspaper is soliciting submissions from outsiders. They're looking for military-themed articles, prose, poetry, novels, or paintings, as long as they promote the spirit of soldiers. He also said that if the works pass the review, they will be sent to the military newspaper for printing and publication, and particularly outstanding authors will be given priority for employment at the military newspaper."
The two of them just listened to her without reading the contents of the letter, and they all supported her in unison: "Jiang Yuan, you go and participate."
Jiang Yuan grinned: "I really want to try it."
Han Zhe heard the news on the military radio. The person he thought of at the time was Jiang Yuan. He had read the poetry and literature she wrote and recognized her talent and knowledge, so he took the time to write her a letter.
"Jiang Yuan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, seize it well."
Lin Shan was very optimistic about her and gave her some advice: "Jiang Yuan, you can ask Grandpa Han and Grandma Han more about things in the army, or ask Long Wei for advice. I think they can provide you with a lot of material to help you."
"Well, I'll go find the two elders later."
Jiang Yuan was eager to participate in this call for submissions. Pointing to the key points on Han Zhexin's post, her eyes lit up. "Working at the PLA Newspaper is incredibly rare. I'm going to give it my all and seize this fantastic opportunity."
"We support you." Yun Huaying smiled and patted her shoulder.
Jiang Yuan's heart was surging now. She folded the letter and hurried out: "I'm going to Han's house. You guys go ahead and do your work."
She had just left the house when she saw Ge Yuanjun coming over. She stopped and said, "Ge Zhiqing, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"I'm going to look for Long Wei." Ge Yuanjun pointed at the Han family.
"Long Wei is not at home. She went to the county town today and probably won't be back until tonight."
"oh."
When he heard that she was not at home, Ge Yuanjun did not go over and waved his hand: "You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for her to come back and then look for her."
Seeing that he had finished speaking and left, Jiang Yuan said nothing more and went to Han's house.
Yun Huaying and Lin Shan stayed in the room and closed the door to block the wind, then sat at the table to share their joy.
"Oh my god, Huaying, I'm so envious of your income."
Yun Huaying received another sum of royalties from the research institute. She worked overtime on translation in her space every night and had finished translating all the books on hand. This was the last sum of royalties, which was a full two thousand yuan.
"There's no need to envy me. My business is just a deal, and it's gone once the money is paid. Your children's story collection has continuous income, and the total income in the future will definitely be much more than mine." Yun Huaying comforted her with a smile.
"Hehe, I hope so."
Although Lin Shan was envious, she was not jealous. In fact, her income from royalties was not low. She ranked second among the three.
She received letters and packages from home again today. Her parents loved her very much. They sent her food and money every month, and also sent her clothes and bedding for winter. Her two brothers were also good to her and often wrote to her and sent her her favorite food.
“Bang, bang!”
There was a knock on the door, followed by Li Bin's voice: "Lin Shan, are you there?"
"exist."
Lin Shan got up to open the door, and immediately closed it after he came in. "Come sit down and warm yourself by the fire."
"It's still more comfortable here."
Li Bin shook off the thin snow on his body and took out a bag of candied fruit from his pocket and gave it to them. "My aunt sent me this. The postman just delivered it. Here are some for you."
Lin Shan also stood up and brought something to treat him. She made him a large cup of hot tea and asked with a smile, "Have you received any response to the manuscript you submitted last time?"
"Here I come."
Li Bin came over to tell her the good news, and took out the remittance slip from his inner pocket to show off: "126 yuan, the highest remuneration so far."
"Congratulations." Yun Huaying congratulated with a smile.
Lin Shan took a look and said with a smile, "Li Bin, although your royalties are much less than ours, I still want to congratulate you."
Li Bin: "...How many of you are there?"
"Huaying, show him the remittance slip you just received to stimulate him." Lin Shan urged with a smile.
Yun Huaying slowly took out the remittance slip she had just put away, but before she could open it, Li Bin snatched it away.
"two thousand!"
Li Bin's voice broke in shock, his eyes bulging slightly. "Yun Huaying, didn't you decide not to submit your work? How come you got so much money?"
"I am proficient in English and work as a translator for a research institute." Yun Huaying did not hide this from him.
Li Bin: "...You are truly a hidden treasure."
"Haha." Lin Shan laughed, nodding her head like pounding garlic: "Li Bin, you are absolutely right. Huaying is a treasure, a great treasure girl."
"I was thinking of showing off in front of you guys, but now it seems my royalties are probably less than all three of you."
Li Bin had some guesses in his mind, and he looked at them with admiration: "You guys are really low-key, making a lot of money quietly without leaking any information. It's amazing."
"If our earning power were to be leaked, the matchmaker would break down the barrier."
Lin Shan was not joking, and she also experienced it deeply. There were often women who came to her to ask for matchmaking, but she always refused and even confronted two shameless ones in public.
Li Bin is also a low-key person. He never talks about what the educated youth said about him making money by contributing articles. As for the villagers asking about his family situation, he only tells them the bad things.
For example, when his parents divorced and remarried, he became an unwanted burden, living with his grandfather and not having his own house. Therefore, the neighbors in the team did not push their daughters to him, and he saved himself a lot of trouble.
"Why are you two the only ones home? Where's Jiang Yuan?"
"I went to the Han family." Lin Shan pointed behind and told him about Han Zhe sending the letter.
Li Bin raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "This is indeed a good opportunity. If the work is selected for publication, it might be accepted by the newspaper, and I can use this opportunity to return to the city."
"Do you want to try it too?" Yun Huaying asked him.
Li Bin shook his head. "I won't participate. Long Wei told me before that the college entrance examination should be resumed and asked me to review more. I plan to seize this opportunity."
Yun Huaying and Lin Shan smiled and assured him, "We also plan to seize this opportunity."
"It will probably take another one or two years."
Li Bin used to think of living one day at a time, but now he has hope and is not as confused as before.
After reading the letter from their grandson, the two elders of the Han family all supported and encouraged Jiang Yuan to participate in this submission. They also provided her with a lot of materials and suggestions. Both of them were looking forward to her work being selected by the military newspaper.
