He was about the same height as Wu Dong, with a tall and strong physique. Compared to Wu Dong's taciturn nature, this man was clearly more talkative, but he didn't say everything he wanted to say. It was obvious that he had received rigorous training and was very disciplined.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to accompany me and Qin Yaxin to school for registration tomorrow. We're not young anymore, we won't get lost."
Tomorrow is the first day of school registration. After dinner, Qin Boyan heard Song Lan explain that they would first go to the kindergarten to register the two little ones, and then accompany him and Qin Yaxin to the town's middle school to register. He couldn't help but express his thoughts.
Before Song Lan could speak, Qin Yanzheng glanced at his foolish younger brother and said softly, "I'll be off tomorrow, and I'll go with your sister-in-law to register."
Since returning to work after the Lunar New Year, Qin Yanzheng has not had to get off work overtime yet. He goes out every morning and usually gets home on time in the afternoon. As usual, he does not go home for lunch.
And since he'll be resting at home tomorrow, he'll naturally have to keep up with his wife's pace.
"Brother, is that alright?"
Qin Boyan looked miserable: "My classmates will laugh at me if I do that!"
"What are you laughing at?"
Qin Yanzheng raised an eyebrow.
"They'll say I'm a little brat who hasn't been weaned!"
Qin Boyan's eyes were full of resentment: "Big brother, I'm begging you and sister-in-law, tomorrow is the weekend, so you two can take a good rest at home. I'll ride my bike and take Qin Yaxin to school."
It won't take more than a few minutes to register us. As for safety on the way, I'm not bragging, but with Qin Yaxin's and my skills, dealing with two or three thugs is a piece of cake!
"Look at you, so capable."
Qin Yanzheng glanced at Qin Boyan again and said, "There's no room for discussion." He listened to his wife, but he didn't care whether the brat would be laughed at by his classmates for not being weaned yet.
Song Lan then said with a smile, "Second brother, I'm going to town tomorrow to buy some things, so I was thinking of accompanying you and second sister to school to register on the way. If you really don't want your eldest brother and me to come along, you and second sister can go straight into the school when we get to town, and your eldest brother can accompany me to buy things."
"I'll listen to my wife."
Qin Yanzheng immediately expressed his opinion.
Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin turned their gazes toward Qin Yanzheng, their eyes full of meaningful meaning: Big Brother (Comrade Qin), you're really something!
The two little ones were also looking at Qin Yanzheng, but they didn't understand why.
Qin Yaqing and Yang Fan also looked at Qin Yanzheng, both of them feeling very full!
Song Lan blushed, glared at the man, and then said to the two children, "Let's go, your sister-in-law will take you to wash up."
"No need, no need,"
The two little ones shook their heads and waved their hands. The adorable little Wu said, "My sister and I can do it by ourselves!" He got up, took his sister's hand, and walked away with his short legs.
Song Lan: "I'll go keep an eye on Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu so they don't accidentally burn themselves when they soak their feet in hot water."
Qin Yanzheng: "You rest, I'll go."
As the music faded, Qin Yanzheng's figure disappeared from the living room.
"Sister-in-law, I have something I want to talk to you about."
That was Qin Yaqing's voice. She stood up and said, "Would you like to come to my room?"
Song Lan smiled and replied, "Okay."
After the two left, Qin Boyan and Yang Fan chatted, while Qin Yaxin went back to her room to get her toiletries.
"I recently took some time to write two articles and would like to ask my sister-in-law to take a look at them."
Following Qin Yaqing to her room, Song Lan saw her sister-in-law take out several sheets of paper filled with writing from a drawer and hand them to her. Reaching out to take them, Song Lan heard Qin Yaqing's voice again:
"One is a poem, and the other is a novel. However, the novel is only two thousand words long so far. The background is the place where I was sent to the countryside, and the content is related to us educated youth and the villagers in the village."
Song Lan nodded to indicate that she understood, and then she sat down on the bed and began to look through the two manuscripts that Qin Yaqing had given her.
About five or six minutes later, Song Lan spoke. She first gave her opinions and suggestions for revisions to Qin Yaqing's poems, then offered her own views on Qin Yaqing's novels, and finally, Song Lan said:
"In short, whether it is poetry, novels, or other literary genres, in my opinion, they must be close to life and be positive, so that readers can be inspired and enlightened."
Your writing is good, but the content is still lacking. If you think the points I pointed out and the suggestions I gave you are reasonable, you can revise and rewrite it before submitting. If you want to try submitting first, that's also fine.
After a pause, Song Lan added, "If you have time, read the newspaper more often. I think you can gain a lot of what you want from it."
"Thank you, sister-in-law! I do think the parts you pointed out do need to be revised, and your suggestions are also very helpful. I know you are guiding me to improve my writing skills."
Qin Yaqing's gaze was exceptionally sincere and grateful.
Song Lan smiled and said, "No need to thank me. I'm your sister-in-law. I'm looking forward to seeing you become a great writer someday!"
In her original world, she occasionally attended poetry gatherings held by young ladies from various families, and her poems always stood out.
Those talented young men from prominent families and many high-ranking officials had appreciated her poetry and gave it very high praise. As a result, without her knowledge, her talent had spread throughout the capital, and she was known as the "First Talented Woman".
Her poems rarely contain romantic or sentimental themes or feigned illness; they are mostly related to what she saw and heard while accompanying her grandfather on his medical practice.
It encompasses all aspects of life!
Although she didn't write much after arriving in this world, she had read quite a few newspapers, and with the memories left by the original owner, she was naturally familiar with the current social structure and people's lives.
In her opinion, when submitting articles to newspapers, it's always right to have content that's relevant to everyday life and has a positive and uplifting style!
...
The night outside the window was pitch black, and the howling wind sent chills down one's spine.
Song Lan was held in Qin Yanzheng's arms, and she heard his clear yet gentle voice in her ear.
"What did your younger sister say to you?"
"They asked me to help review two manuscripts, one a poem and the other a short story, but the short story was only two thousand words long."
"My sister wants to submit an article to the newspaper."
Qin Yanzheng used a declarative tone.
Song Lan hummed in agreement and said with a smile, "My younger sister's writing is quite good. I reckon our family will produce a great writer someday!"
"Don't praise her too much. If she keeps getting rejected, given her tendency to keep everything bottled up inside, she might end up making herself sick."
Hearing Qin Yanzheng say that, Song Lan pinched the soft flesh on his waist. Well, she didn't use much force, but Qin Yanzheng still made a "hiss" sound to show that he was in pain.
“I didn’t use any force.”
Song Lan refused to take the blame. She rolled over and lay on her back, saying, "My younger sister is a bit naive and doesn't talk much, but I can see that she's changing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked me to help her look at those two manuscripts."
Furthermore, I'm not flattering my younger sister; I'm just stating the facts. Her writing is indeed quite good, and if she continues on this path, becoming a great writer is definitely just around the corner.
