Chapter 69 Submission
The same thing happened on this day off. Lin Yuzhu originally thought that since the New Year was approaching, she would take advantage of the holiday to go shopping in the department store and buy some New Year's goods.
As a result, Zhao Yanshu told her that because today was a holiday, many people would go out, so she had to get up early to catch the bus.
Lin Yuzhu recalled that it was indeed like that, and not only the buses, but even the department stores were full of people, and you almost had to snatch things to buy them.
When she thought of that scene, she immediately backed off.
Finally just gave up.
I thought since Zhao Yanshu didn't have to go to work anymore, I could just let him buy it at other times when there weren't so many people around.
Zhao Yanshu didn't refuse after hearing this, and told her something.
"I heard that there is a small market here before the New Year. It is organized by several nearby villages. Although they only sell agricultural products, no tickets are required and you can also exchange goods. We can go and have a look then."
Lin Yuzhu immediately became interested and asked, "When?"
Zhao Yanshu mentioned a time, and when Lin Yuzhu heard that she still had to go to work that day, she was immediately disappointed.
"It seems I can't go. Is it just that day? No other time?"
Zhao Yanshu shook his head. "No, I didn't dare to do it before. It's just that the control is not so strict now. But it's only once before the New Year. It's not allowed at other times."
"Okay, then you can go and have a look when the time comes. If you find something suitable, buy more, especially food. You don't need a ticket. It's a rare opportunity. I'm about to get paid, so there's no need to save."
Zhao Yanshu nodded, "I know. I have also submitted a few articles to newspapers recently. Although there is no payment, if they are accepted, there will be some benefits."
Lin Yuzhu was surprised to hear this, "When did you submit your article?"
"Recently, I closed my job at the factory, and I've been thinking about how to make money. I can't just rely on you to support the family. The two children are still young, and I still have a few years of college to go to. I don't have much money to buy a house, and I can't just live off my savings.
But I looked around and couldn't find any suitable short-term jobs. I saw a call for articles in the newspaper, so I thought I'd give it a try. However, this is my first time writing, and I don't know if it will be accepted."
Lin Yuzhu immediately said, "Of course you can. You are so talented."
In fact, Zhao Yanshu always loved to write something in his previous life, but maybe because he felt a little inferior because he didn’t go to college, he kept everything he wrote to himself and never thought about submitting it for publication.
Lin Yuzhu had also advised him to try, but he refused every time. After a few times, she knew what he was thinking and stopped forcing him.
I didn't expect that he would be willing to try it in this life.
Zhao Yanshu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. "It would be great if I can be selected. If not, I will try harder. However, the newspaper does not pay for manuscripts now, so I will try to submit it to the magazine later.
I heard that the magazine has recently resumed the system of paying for articles. I want to give it a try and see if I can write some short stories. If I can get paid for my articles, you can relax a little bit while I am studying alone in college for the next few years."
Lin Yuzhu didn't expect that he would know so much.
I quickly nodded and encouraged him: "Okay, just try it, I believe in you."
Zhao Yanshu was very happy to get Lin Yuzhu's support. He then showed her several articles he had submitted, some of which expressed his happiness about the resumption of the college entrance examination, his expectations for the future development of the country, and several short poems, all of which were closely following current affairs and seemed to be well-written.
Lin Yuzhu felt that there was no difference between what he read and what was in the newspaper, so he gave an affirmative answer.
"I think it's great, I'll definitely be selected!"
After hearing her say this, Zhao Yanshu finally breathed a sigh of relief and gained confidence.
