Night was about to fall and the children had already gone home. Ruan Niannian finally had time to open the letter written to her by the newspaper.
The handwriting on the letter was neat and regular, with vigorous and powerful strokes. The writer introduced himself as the editor-in-chief of New Era Daily, whose surname was Li. He liked the article submitted by Ruan Niannian very much, as it showed an important way for educated youth to integrate into the countryside under the guidance of the new era, support construction in the countryside, and gain love.
At the end of the letter, he said that if there are similar articles in the future, please give priority to New Era Daily. As long as the quality is good, the price they give will be absolutely fair.
That's fair.
Ruan Niannian's manuscript has nearly 4,000 words and is of good quality. She estimated that the price of the manuscript would be between 20 and 60 yuan, but the most likely would be 30. Unexpectedly, the New Era Daily offered such a high price of 50.
Nowadays, the price of manuscripts is generally 3-10 yuan per thousand words depending on the quality. The price of her manuscript has exceeded 10 yuan.
Although she expected to earn 20-60 yuan, she had never thought it would be above 40 yuan. This could be seen as an olive branch from the newspaper as a pledge to continue accepting her manuscripts.
You have to know that in this era, in addition to current affairs news, the story section is a very important section to attract people to buy newspapers.
It is very important for a newspaper to be able to attract an author who can write.
If the New Era Daily did not give Ruan Niannian a reasonable price, she could simply change to another newspaper to submit her articles.
The loss is not just one author.
Ruan Nian Nian was lost in thought. Suddenly, someone hugged her from behind. "Wife, what are you looking at?"
"The newspaper has responded to my submission." She excitedly showed Pei Yuanzheng the remittance slip, the newspaper's reply and the draft of the newspaper in which her manuscript was published.
Pei Yuanzheng opened the newspaper and saw a large story section on the back, which read "On the Integration of Educated Youth and Production Teams - Author: Ruanruan and Peipei."
Soft and accompanied.
Pei Yuanzheng repeated the name silently in his mind. It was based on the surnames of both of them, and it was an adaptation of their story.
Some of the things really happened, and some are fictional. The story ends abruptly with the marriage, and Pei Yuanzheng was left wanting more.
"Wife, you are writing our story, right?"
"Yes and no." Ruan Niannian smiled confidently, "It's about the stories of the educated youth who have taken root in the countryside. It's also the background story of the store I'm about to open, 'Ruanruan and Peipei'."
Pei Yuanzheng had mixed feelings for a moment.
I was touched that my wife remembered even the small details that happened between them clearly. I was shocked that my wife's planning and preparation for the store were obviously aimed at making it bigger and stronger. At the same time, I also lamented that if I didn't work harder, how could I be worthy of such an excellent wife?
"Wife, I think you wrote it very well. It makes people feel warm in their hearts and want to read more. What will happen after Ruanruan gets married? How will she live in the countryside? Will she be as happy as when they were dating?"
"There will be a sequel." Ruan Niannian replied, "I'm preparing to write the sequel."
The two chatted about the manuscript for a while, and Ruan Niannian urged Pei Yuanzheng to go wash up. He had been busy all day and smelled of sweat.
Before Pei Yuanzheng went to take a shower, he took a cloth bag and gave it to Ruan Niannian, "Wife, this is what you asked me to bring back."
After saying that, he ran to take a shower.
Ruan Niannian opened it and saw several brand new towels lying in the bag, which looked very soft.
Although Pei Yuanzheng is busy now and has little time to accompany her, he takes every word she says to heart. Although he doesn't say it, he always treats her well with his actions.
I don’t know what the future will be like, but at least now, he is fine.
Ruan Niannian's heart softened. When Pei Yuanzheng came in after washing up, she rushed over and hugged his waist, "Hubby, why are you so nice?"
"Is that all? Little fool." Pei Yuanzheng didn't expect that a few towels would move his wife. He bent down slightly and reached out to hug Ruan Niannian back, "I will treat you better in the future."
It was completely dark, and the couple lay on the bed talking about what happened during the day.
Pei Yuanzheng talked about the construction of the free market and asked Ruan Niannian when she wanted to move. Everyone in the village knew about their situation. They would use the house in the brigade for a short period of time and they were also building their own house, so no one would say anything.
But if we continue to live in the production team after the house is built, I am afraid some people will not be able to stand it.
Ruan Niannian didn't really want to move there so early. She told Pei Yuanzheng what happened during the day, then sighed and said, "Mom is living with my second brother and his wife now. Our new house is right next door. I..."
Although she knew that Pei Yuanzheng was not Li Dani's biological son, she was raised by him after all. Ruan Nianni didn't want to say bad things about Li Dani in front of Pei Yuanzheng.
Pei Yuanzheng's eyes dimmed when he heard her voice-over. He did have admiration for Li Dani and wanted to gain her attention and love, but after he found out what happened back then, that feeling completely disappeared without a trace left.
"Wife, don't worry about moving in. I promise you that she won't interfere with your life."
From what he investigated, he found out that the clan gave all the pension for his father's death - one thousand kilograms of grain to Li Dani. One thousand kilograms of grain converted into banknotes would be a considerable income. That was one thousand kilograms of grain in the 1950s!
In addition, before he came of age, Li Dani could go to the relevant departments every month to receive living expenses for the orphans of martyrs, which would at least not be less than ten yuan per month.
