Chapter 85: In the Newspaper
"Two articles were approved, one in the People's Daily and one in the Workers' Daily. The rest were rejected!"
Zhao Yanshu explained embarrassedly.
Seeing this, Lin Yuzhu immediately comforted him: "That's not bad. It's already impressive that your first article was published. What's more, the things the newspaper gives us are not bad. With these tickets, we can buy more New Year's goods, especially fine grains. Then we can make more dumplings and let Shuyao have enough."
But Zhao Yanshu said, "Take the food coupons. Eat more at work at noon. Don't save."
Although Lin Yuzhu didn't know how he knew she was saving, she still refused, "No, I can eat enough at noon. Let's buy more food to nourish Shuyao."
Seeing her insistence, Zhao Yanshu thought about it and finally nodded, "Okay, but I've already bought coarse grains at the market today, so let's buy fine grains for the rest."
Lin Yuzhu was very happy when she heard it. "You bought everything? How was the market today? Are there many people selling things?"
Zhao Yanshu smiled and said, "There are quite a lot. The food is not expensive and no tickets are required, so I bought some more."
After hearing this, Lin Yuzhu didn't even look at it, and said directly: "Okay, it's up to you to decide, but I don't think our family can afford much fine grains, so let's eat them first.
The black market is not very strict recently. Many of my colleagues have bought it. Although it is a bit expensive, it does not require a ticket and is not limited in quantity. If it doesn’t work, I will also buy some back.”
Zhao Yanshu refused immediately after hearing this. "No, don't go. It's too chaotic there recently. If it's not enough, I'll go find Weidong. He has a way to buy it."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
…
After this was agreed upon, Lin Yuzhu was still thinking about Zhao Yanshu's article, so she went to work a little earlier the next day.
After arriving at the office, he asked the doorman, Uncle Zheng: "Uncle Zheng, has today's newspaper been delivered?"
Uncle Zheng stretched his head to look at her and nodded, "Here we are. What's up? Xiaolin, are you getting it for your boss?"
Their unit subscribes to a newspaper, but usually only the leader will take a copy home to take a look.
Lin Yuzhu shook her head. "No, I want to read it. Are there any Baixing Daily and Gongren Daily?"
Uncle Zheng didn't ask any more questions and said directly: "Yes, I'll get it for you."
Then he lowered his head to search and quickly handed her two newspapers.
Lin Yuzhu took it with a smile, "Thank you, sir."
Then he quickly entered the unit.
After sitting at my workstation until the afternoon, I didn't waste any time and quickly picked up the newspaper to read it. I soon saw Zhao Yanshu's article in the corner.
The positions of both articles are not very good, but it is good enough that they can be published.
After reading them carefully, I found that one article was about a worker's son who got into college through hard work, and the other one praised the benefits of the restoration of the college entrance examination and expressed his feelings that it changed the fate of him and many others.
Both articles were well written. The more Lin Yuzhu thought about it, the happier she became. She planned to go to the newsstand and buy a few more copies as souvenirs when she got back so that she could show them to her children in the future.
When Sister Wang came in, she saw her smile and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Xiaolin? Are you happy to see the newspaper?"
Lin Yuzhu smiled after hearing her words, and then said proudly: "My wife's article was published in the newspaper, of course I am happy."
"Oh? Your wife can also write articles?" He looked over curiously.
Lin Yuzhu immediately pointed at her.
Sister Wang nodded as she read, praising him: "Your writing is excellent, worthy of being a prospective college student! Maybe your family will produce a great writer in the future!"
