Chapter 49 Second update article published in newspaper

They showed their names and team addresses to the postman and found that everyone had accumulated letters, and the addresses were all from the same place, Yanjing City.

What Ye Yu and Han Jing received were letters from home.

This family has not only Ye Yu's books, but also some that Ye Yu asked her to bring back to her grandparents.

This--

Is it a complaint?

Ye Yu curiously opened her own letter.

The letter was written by Wang Lai Di. Her mother's handwriting is really good. Maybe it's because technology is not well developed in that era. Even in developed countries, not everyone can use computers and mobile phones. Most educated people have good calligraphy. In the first one or two years after she traveled to the future, she participated in a calligraphy competition and won a prize.

The letter consists of three pages.

As for the content, it was mainly about chatting about family matters. Several things were repeated over and over again, including not being greedy and lazy, not getting into conflicts with others easily, not going to adventure in the mountains, making friends with others, and getting closer to grandparents, because they could help when encountering danger.

Ye Yu’s guesses were almost correct. Her mother must be a worm in her stomach.

Mistakes are known, but cannot be corrected.

By the way, the letter also mentioned that Ye Weiguo was noticed by the sports training team, saying that the sports training coach liked him more and as long as Ye Weiguo himself did not make mistakes, there was a great possibility that he would be selected.

Both Wang Lai Di and Ye Hong Jun are humble people. Since they said so in the letter, it also means that the possibility of Ye Weiguo being selected is really high.

Sports training team?

If Ye Yu remembers correctly, Ye Country is now being boycotted by many countries in the world.

Therefore, in the 1960s, Yeguo did not even have the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games, a major international sporting event. It had to wait until the 1970s, or 1979.

By then she would most likely have returned to the city, and Ye Weiguo would be almost 25 years old.

He should take good care of himself. This age is considered the golden age for athletes. He should work harder and win glory for the country. It is not in vain that he got the name of "defender of the country".

To be honest, Ye Weiguo's IQ and personality are not sharp enough and he is easily provoked. He is more suitable for physical training rather than being a soldier or a policeman.

Moreover, he admires being a soldier because he heard too many stories about Wang Xiaoer when he was a child. He admires heroism more. In peacetime, sports events are more in line with his nature.

Ye Yu borrowed some paper from Xu Fei, added two lines to the reply letter he had prepared in advance, and sent it back together with the wild boar sauce he had prepared two days ago.

I knew I would be scolded, so I just let them scold me and eat more nutrition. As for worrying, by the time the letter arrived, it was basically the Chinese New Year.

After the meat is in her mouth, she may get whipped on the palms by a horsewhip or chased by shoes when she gets home. It’s up to the couple. She has thick skin and can’t stand the pain anyway.

In addition to the letters from home, his family also sent him half a sack of things, which was less than Han Jing's two sacks, but not much less.

Ye Yu also opened it and took a quick look. Most of the things were related to keeping warm. There was also a small roll of new cloth. Her mother must have owed her colleagues at the textile factory a lot of favors again.

In addition, there were some food, including a can of pickled melon, a bowl of spicy cabbage, a few pounds of old rock sugar and sugar-coated persimmon cakes.

For Wang Lai Di, buying rock sugar is definitely more economical than those fruit candies wrapped in colorful candy wrappers, so she subconsciously chose this when buying it for her daughter.

Rock sugar is indeed very sweet.

Ye Yu held a piece of rock candy in his mouth and looked at the excited Hua Feifei and Xu Fei.

Both of them are from the south, and the letters they wrote home might have just arrived home, so the reply would naturally be slow.

The letters they both received came from the Yenching Press.

Hua Feifei never thought that her article could actually be published in the newspaper. She felt that there was a big gap between what she wrote and what Xu Fei wrote. She was not like Han Jing who always said inspiring words. She knew that she knew less than the villagers.

Looking at it this way, could it be that the newspaper was sent to the wrong address?

Of course the newspaper would not have sent the wrong letter. In addition to the letter, it also contained some cash.

Eighty cents.

Yes, only 80 cents.

It's not much, but the article about Hua Feifei that appeared in the newspaper was not long either, probably less than a thousand words. So when you think about it, eighty cents for a thousand words is actually not bad.

The newspaper was called Youth Daily, and they were very surprised to receive the submission from the educated youth, as this was exactly one of the authors they needed.

Hua Feifei's article is not as bad as she thinks. Her writing is fluent and she is particularly good at describing details. The characters and stories she writes about are vivid, especially the loneliness and helplessness of the educated youth when they went to the countryside. The second half of the story about cleaning the pigpen with the help of fellow villagers is also humorous and vivid.

Therefore, they were chosen.

Hua Feifei didn't care how much the fee was. It was a great joy for her to be on the show. This was the first time she had earned money in her life. She would weigh a few pounds of melon seeds to distribute to her companions and those who had helped her in the village.

Xu Fei was also very happy.

Unlike Hua Feifei, he is very interested in royalties and earns much more than Hua Feifei.

Xu Fei received about seven or eight letters, and almost every newspaper decided to publish the best one he wrote, including the mainstream daily.

The remaining ones that have not been published are either on the way to other provinces and have not yet responded, or they have not yet been submitted.

The mainstream daily newspapers naturally pay more for their articles.

In addition to the best article, the other two were also published in different newspapers.

Although the reason for being selected must be related to Xu Fei's identity as an educated youth, not all questions from educated youth were included, and several of Han Jing's articles were not included.

Xu Fei tilted his head and looked at Han Jing, but he saw that Han Jing was disappointed at first, but now he was just happy for them and was also curious about how much Xu Fei got for the royalties.

"Wow, this is one dollar."

"Eight cents."

"This one is 1.8 yuan!"

"I'm going to submit to any daily newspaper, just in case he takes a liking to me."

"One dollar, another dollar."

Xu Fei's total royalties amounted to more than ten yuan, which was a considerable amount. It was equivalent to a month's salary as an intern in the upper city, not to mention that he might have earned more from other provinces.

What a great harvest!

Xu Fei couldn't stop drooling at the thought of exchanging flesh with Ye Yu, or buying things to exchange with Ye Yu. He also had money to treat Han Jing and Hua Feifei in return, and he couldn't help but smile with his big white teeth.

"Okay!" Han Jing nudged his arm with his elbow. "Hurry up and send the new one together. You will definitely receive more replies next time."

Let’s talk about it. The two of them started a new round of delivery together.

Hua Feifei was still a little hesitant. This time she wrote more than just praise. Seeing that Xu Fei and Han Jing submitted their articles so readily, she decisively submitted their articles as well.

They also persuaded Ye Yu to write with them, but Ye Yu declined the offer, saying that such a good thing was not suitable for her.

Han Jing suggested: "It's a pity that the post office in the town only has the People's Daily and the Yanjing Daily. Other newspapers are temporarily unavailable. We must show them to the team leader when we get back. No, let's go to the commune now and show them to the commune head, vice-head, and commune director."

"Is this not good?" Xu Fei couldn't help blushing and pushed his glasses awkwardly.

"What's wrong with that?" Hua Feifei's eyes sparkled. It was her first time to make money and her article was published in the newspaper. She wished everyone in the world knew about it.

She has included this in her reply, and I believe her parents will read the newspaper to all their relatives.

Let’s see who dares to say that she is a freeloader.

Hehehehe.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Han Jing raised his hands and said, "Go, go, go!"

Ye Yu had no objection. The premise she had originally proposed required the educated youth to make a name for themselves so as to establish a connection between the educated youth, newspapers and the commune, thus giving the educated youth an extra opportunity to connect with the outside world.

The four of them walked towards the commune.

Among them, two of them walked with a pace that showed they didn't care about anyone but their relatives. Xu Fei was more restrained, but his whole body was filled with high spirits.

I happened to meet two people at the gate of the commune.

The officials got a headache when they saw the educated youth, but because Xu Fei and the other four were one of the smallest and most famous educated youth groups, they got along best with the locals, so they looked more favorable.

After a pause, it became even uglier.

They are often used as examples in internal commune meetings. Could it be that something went wrong and they started fighting with the local villagers?

I asked politely, "Did anything happen to you guys at the Wangjiagou production team?"

"What is it?"

"It's okay!"

Han Jing, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei felt guilty, as they thought the officials were talking about sharing the wild boar.

The dialogue between the two sides is completely irrelevant.

Finally, Ye Yu couldn't bear it any longer, or maybe he had had enough of the lively onlookers, and was also afraid that Han Jing and his fellow youngsters would fall into the trap without any experience, so he handed the newspaper directly to the two clerks.

"It's not about the production team?" Both staff members breathed a sigh of relief.

etc--

"Newspaper?"

What newspaper?

"In the newspaper?"

"Yes, yes," Hua Feifei couldn't read her own article, but she was very happy holding the Yanjing Daily that Xu Fei was listed in. "Look here, there is a big block, and the words "Xu Fei, Wangjiagou Production Team, Pingquan Commune" are bold and black on it. Look, look!"

The two officers then confirmed that they had heard correctly and quickly stretched their necks to look.

Yep, it really is.

"Comrade Xu Fei of Wangjiagou Production Team, Pingquan Commune," the clerk read out the signature word by word. "Great, great, our commune is in the newspaper!"

"Hahahaha, great!"

"You are indeed a model educated youth!"

After being called out and praised again and again, Xu Fei's face became as familiar as a big apple. He felt happy and proud of being praised, but also shy and embarrassed of being constantly called out.

An official read the article from beginning to end and read the signature several times, focusing on the words Pingquan Commune and Xu Fei.

Another cadre rushed into the commune like a rocket with fire ignited from behind.

He was not tall, but his legs were very fast. As he ran, he raised another newspaper exaggeratedly and shouted loudly and passionately: "President, Vice President, Director Li, please come out quickly, please come out and take a look, something has happened in our commune, it's a big thing!"

Ye Yu: "..."

Is it reasonable that he has not been fired yet given his ability to grasp key points and express narrative?

What?

This job is a stable job!

That's okay.
