…
Hang up the phone.
Wang Zhaozhao ran out, "Grandma, Yanni asked me to go with her to post letters and submit manuscripts this afternoon. I asked her to come to lunch."
"Okay, I heard you."
Comrade Xie Ailian likes to "eavesdrop" when Wang Zhaozhao or Wang Sibing are answering the phone.
Sometimes he would lean in closely to listen, and sometimes he would just stand at the door with his rabbit ears perked up.
At this moment, Wang Dahai took the initiative to ask, "Zhao girl, can you read your article to me first?"
"Old man, are you okay?" Not to mention Wang Zhaozhao, even Xie Ailian was extremely surprised.
"You're the one in trouble! What Zhao wrote is called 'Reincarnation is a Skill'. I'm curious about what she wrote. Is that okay?"
"How do you know the name of Zhao Yatou's article?"
"Nonsense, of course it was Miss Zhao who said that."
"Then why didn't I know? Great! Now I'm the only outsider."
Xie Ailian was unhappy.
Wang Dahai rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, old woman. I'm talking to Miss Zhao, don't interrupt."
"Okay, okay, you guys are the ones who kissed each other. Who told you both to have the last name Wang?"
"..." Wang Dahai was completely speechless.
He looked directly at Wang Zhaozhao, who, watching the show with an innocent face, nodded immediately, "Okay."
When Xu Yanni arrived, Wang Zhaozhao had already finished reading her manuscript.
Seeing that she was carrying a large net bag again, Xie Ailian said angrily, "We're just here to eat, it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, why are you carrying anything? Just come empty-handed."
"Grandma, next time we go to Beijing, if I go to their house to eat for free, I will also carry things." Wang Zhaozhao was being nice.
Xie Ailian: “……!”
It’s really speechless. Her grandma opened the door for Wu Yu, and Wu Yu arrived home.
I am just speechless!
Wu Yu's grandmother was going to cook, so she asked Wu Yu to pick green beans.
After dinner and a short rest, Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni set off for the post office.
The two rode their bikes, trying to stay under the shade of the trees.
When I arrived at the post office, it was just after the afternoon opening and there were not many people around.
This time they voted for the newspaper, Lu Province Morning News.
As they left the post office, Xu Yanni suddenly smiled brightly, "Are we going to be invited for tea?"
"Who will invite us?" Wang Zhaozhao asked.
It should be said that she might be very confident, so not only is she not afraid, she is also a little looking forward to it.
Seeing Xu Yanni smiling like that, it must be the same.
Can't I just write an article criticizing a certain social phenomenon?!
Sure enough, Xu Yanni thought about it and said, "I don't know who will come to invite me, but I am a little looking forward to it. What's going on?"
Wang Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this a coincidence?"
"Ah? Hahaha."
Xu Yanni understood immediately and laughed like a silver bell.
They rode their bikes around the streets and alleys of the county town before going home.
The following days were ordinary for Wang Zhaozhao. Every day he either studied or was in a daze, and occasionally went out for a walk.
Cycling around Zhushan County suddenly became something Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni particularly liked. In the early morning or evening, the two would make an appointment to ride bicycles together, feeling the different winds and seeing different people and things.
They never received a reply to their submissions.
But one day, early in the morning... around six o'clock, the phone at Wang's house rang.
It was Xu Yanni calling.
She said her father was reading the newspaper early in the morning and saw the article about them.
Wang Zhaozhao hung up the phone and ran out. Xie Ailian, who also got up early, thought something had happened and ran after her.
As a result, Wang Zhaozhao opened the small door, took out the newspaper from the mailbox on the wall, and stood there to search through it.
Found it!
Two articles, accounting for half of the fourth edition.
"Your article was published in the newspaper?" Xie Ailian stretched her neck to look.
"Yeah." Wang Zhaozhao nodded.
She rolled up the newspaper and walked away in a hurry.
Xie Ailian, "Can't you just take the milk from the milk box?"
"Grandma, aren't you here? Besides, I don't have the key."
“……!”
In the morning, their phone rang three more times.
Chen Pei hit one, their principal Chen also hit one, and unexpectedly, Xu Renjie also hit one.
I think it’s the same with Xu Yanni.
However, Wang Zhaozhao was not surprised that Chen Pei and Principal Chen would call, but she was quite surprised that Xu Renjie would call.
Xie Ailian listened to her mumbling and said as a matter of course, "What's the big deal? He knows it's your article and is just asking out of curiosity."
"We use a pen name. Oh, the meaning of a pen name is... an alias. It's the name we use to sign our writings."
"Like a nickname?"
"Yeah, that's about the same."
"Then how did he know it was you?"
"So I wasn't surprised just now?"
"Tsk! You people who read are really troublesome."
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao blinked.
I'm sorry, all the readers in the world, I apologize to everyone on behalf of my grandma for her inappropriate remarks.
Three days later, Wang Zhaozhao finally received the belated reply, along with a draft for eight dollars.
Wang Zhaozhao was delighted and immediately waved her hand, telling Wang Xingwen and the others that she would treat them.
“Ah…”
She was hit on the head and when she turned around, it was Comrade Xie Ailian. Before she could say anything, Xie Ailian took the bill of exchange away.
"Do you still want to spend all eight dollars? Just buy a popsicle each...soda, soda will be fine."
