"Second brother, you're looking for me!" That day, Zhang Qiurui spent more than ten days and finally finished rewriting the novel "Parental Love". She planned to send it out today. When she just went out, she happened to meet Zhang Wenfu who wanted to come into their room.
"Qiu Rui, I finally know where your remittance slip came from and how you made all that money." Zhang Wenfu looked around and when he saw that there was no one around, he said mysteriously with a smug look on his face.
"Oh! Then tell me about it!" Zhang Qiurui shrugged.
“Is this remittance slip from making money by writing novels?
I heard that some people can make money by publishing articles in newspapers. Have you also submitted articles to any newspapers? "Zhang Wenfu's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some great secret, and then he lowered his voice, for fear of being heard by others.
“The answer is correct, but unfortunately there is no reward.
"Third brother knows everything, so please help me send this letter." Zhang Qiurui knew her second brother was smart, but she didn't expect him to guess the truth in such a short time.
As she spoke, she pulled out a sealed letter from her bosom and handed it to Zhang Wenfu. The letter contained the manuscript of her carefully completed novel "Parental Love".
"Okay, second brother will help you right away." Zhang Wenfu took the letter handed to him by Qiu Rui, and felt the thick layer of cloth. He immediately knew that Qiu Rui was going to submit an article to the newspaper. The reply letter would be the remittance slip, and he would go to withdraw the five dollars. After that, Zhang Wenfu showed joy on his face and turned away.

Somewhere in Shaanxi.
"Xiaoxiang Qingkong describes numerous delicate scenes of rural life in Shaanxi in Hidden in the Dust, slowly unfolding this ancient and profound land of Shaanxi before the readers' eyes with its unique simplicity and depth.
Could it be that Xiaoxiang Qingkong is from Shaanxi? Judging from the name, he should be from Xiaoxiang.
"However, Xiaoxiang Qingkong truly excels at digging into the people and events around him. This novel, based on real events, is a documentary piece of traumatic literature." A frail young man in his mid-twenties, having just finished reading "Hidden in the Dust," felt a wave of emotion well up in his heart.
Ever since he read The Fault in Our Stars written by Xiaoxiang Qingkong, he has developed a strong interest in this pen name.
Although Xiaoxiang Qingkong only wrote two works, one explores life and death, love and friendship, and memory and forgetting.
The other one explored the plight of life for lower-class farmers and the selfishness of human nature. These two works of scar literature left a lasting impression on him.
He was now really curious about Xiaoxiang Qingkong and wanted to know about this writer.
..........
Somewhere in the capital.
"These two novels are very suitable for adaptation into movies, what a pity." A young man in his twenties, about 24 or 25 years old, with a slightly stout build, had just finished reading "Hidden in the Dust". His eyes revealed regret for the love between Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying.
"The nostalgic feelings for home, the helpless fate of the characters, and the unadorned sense of reality in 'Hidden in the Dust' are tailor-made for the film.
And "The Fault in Our Stars," a film about the intertwining of youth and illness, and the blossoming of love amidst despair, is equally touching." The man muttered to himself, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, as if lost in thought.
Somewhere in the capital.
“Both are scar literature, but the depth of reflection and the delicacy of emotion are different.
"I'm really looking forward to what Xiaoxiang Qingkong's next novel will be about. I hope I won't be disappointed." A woman in her early twenties touched Xiaoxiang magazine, she was extremely curious about Xiaoxiang Qingkong.
She even had a strong premonition that Xiaoxiang Qingkong was a woman and she really wanted to meet her.
........。
If we say that Zhang Qiurui's first novel was just a glimpse of her potential, it showed her delicate control of words and keen emotional insight.
Then her second novel is the full blossoming of her talent.
In "Hidden in the Dust", Zhang Qiurui not only deepens the portrayal of the characters' personalities, making each character come alive on the paper as if they had an independent life, but also skillfully weaves an intricate and fascinating storyline that keeps readers hooked as they turn the pages.
Zhang Qiurui has attracted the attention and love of many readers, which Zhang Qiurui doesn't even know.
Star City, Xiaoxiang Magazine.
"Editor-in-chief, I want to report three things to you today.
The first thing is that Xiaoxiang Qingkong received a manuscript, but this time the manuscript was not scar literature.
I have just reviewed the new manuscript titled "Parental Love". This manuscript describes the love of the father's generation. It is simple and unpretentious, yet delicate and moving.
It uses an almost plain style to show the simple yet sincere warmth of parents.
Although there are no fancy words, it contains deep emotional power in its plainness, which makes people immersed in it involuntarily while reading, as if they can travel through time and space and witness the love journey of their parents with their own eyes.
I believe that this article will resonate widely with many readers and will touch the hearts of many readers. It will be a spiritual comfort to those who have fond memories of the past, in particular.
The second thing is that this issue of the newspaper is a big hit. Six thousand copies have already been sold, and more are still being sold. It is estimated that another thousand copies can be sold.
The third thing is that People's Literature wrote to us, saying they want us to give them Xiaoxiang Qingkong's contact information. That day, Xie Yu knocked on the editor-in-chief's office door, her face beaming with joy.
In the past three months, after their newspaper published Xiaoxiang Qingkong's novel, the magazine sales have skyrocketed again and again. These are all achievements and money, and Xie Yu also has a share of it. Xie Yu is naturally happy.
"Xiaoxiang Qingkong writes very quickly. Let me see Xiaoxiang Qingkong's new work.
As for People's Literature wanting Xiaoxiang Qingkong's contact information, ignore it for now. You can write to Xiaoxiang Qingkong and say that People's Literature wants her to write an article. It's up to Xiaoxiang Qingkong whether she writes it or not.
In addition, please write in the letter that starting from the next novel, our magazine will offer Xiaoxiang Qingkong a fee of ten cents per thousand words, capping it directly. No, starting from this novel, we will give Xiaoxiang Qingkong a fee of ten cents per thousand words. "Xin Zhao gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to keep Xiaoxiang Qingkong.
Currently, none of the writers who cooperate with their Xiaoxiang Magazine can get a fee of 10 yuan per thousand words. The highest fee paid by one writer is only 7 yuan per thousand words, and he has been cooperating with their magazine for ten years to get this fee.
Although Xiaoxiang Qingkong had only published two novels in their magazine, she was able to see the content and quality of the novels. Moreover, the sales and letters from readers in the past few months showed that the surge in sales of the magazine was closely related to Xiaoxiang Qingkong.
