Second update
Gao Yingzi is a woman who is diligent, hardworking, and able to endure hardships. She has many excellent qualities. Although she has little education and has not read many books, she has her own logic in life.
She said she looked down on Xiao Pan, and then she really forgot about Xiao Pan, pretending that he never existed and never mentioned him again.
It seems that she didn't like Xiao Pan at all, but just fell in love with her own fantasy.
Xiao Pan was not the man she wanted, so Gao Yingzi gave up decisively.
"Why don't you cook some meat for me?" Xiao Pan and Jiang Xiaomiao were having a hot relationship. Without Gao Yingzi's persistent pursuit, Xiao Pan gradually felt something was not right.
Gao Yingzi liked Xiao Pan and often gave him steamed buns, especially meat buns. Gao Yingzi had no money and could not afford pork, but she was very good at making steamed buns. She could also catch fish and shrimps, and she made steamed buns with fish, shrimp and crab roe for Xiao Pan, which made Xiao Pan's mouth drool.
Xiao Pan used to be arrogant and looked down on the things Gao Yingzi gave him. Now that he suddenly has nothing, his quality of life has declined rapidly.
"I can't." Jiang Xiaomiao is fair and tender, a huge lazy bum who does nothing at home. Xiao Pan has many sisters and is the only son in the family, which deeply attracted Jiang Xiaomiao.
If Xiao Pan also had a sister-in-law as hardworking and willing to serve as Gao Yingzi, wouldn't she be able to have her sister-in-law serve her in the future?
Jiang Xiaomiao had a good idea and was determined not to miss Xiao Pan.
"If you don't know how to do it, you can learn it."
Jiang Xiaomiao rolled her eyes: "Why don't you learn it? Make me some steamed buns."
Xiao Pan was so angry that he fell to the ground and cursed loudly: "You and I are not the same kind of people. We are no longer friends."
"Bah, I'm telling you, if you dare to walk out of this door, I'll sue you for being a hooligan. I go to your unit to make trouble every day. You have no conscience, you are not a human being, you provoked me first."
Jiang Xiaomiao clung to Xiao Pan like a blood-sucking leech. The original heroine Bai Qiuling was happy to see this happen and couldn't wait to marry off this lazy and unreliable sister-in-law.
Xiao Pan's sisters were even more happy to see it happen. Jiang Xiaomiao was a little lazy, but at least she had a good relative. Her brother was an officer. She was also fair-skinned with a big butt, and it was obvious that she could give birth to a boy.
When Jiang Xiaomiao gives birth to a few more boys and expands the Pan family, it won’t matter whether there is a Xiao Pan in the family or not.
Only then did Xiao Pan realize how good Gao Yingzi was, but it was too late. The Pan and Jiang families wanted to get engaged and he could not refuse. Xiao Pan felt extremely regretful.
Jiang Xiaomiao also asked Xiao Pan to hand over all his salary to provide her with food and drink. Jiang Xiaomiao also told Xiao Pan's sisters: "After we get married, I will give birth to children at home, more boys, and let you raise them. Just let me eat and drink well."
The Pan sisters were coaxed into agreeing.
Jiang Xiaomiao grinned in her heart, thinking that I had given birth to her for five years and she was the best at playing tricks since she was young.
Seeing this, Qin Yao couldn't help but sigh: "Evil will be punished by evil."
Gao Yingzi might have been with Xiao Pan before, but Gao Yingzi couldn't control Xiao Pan and could only be ruthlessly exploited. When Jiang Xiaomiao and Xiao Pan are together, it’s hard to say who is more unlucky.
"Xiao Qin, you wrote a great article!" The vice president came to the publicity office, caught up with Director Huang, and praised Xiao Qin for his recent publicity work. "Not only is the article well written, but the photo is also well taken!"
Nowadays, few people have cameras, and even fewer know how to take photos. Many photos are taken carelessly, without any aesthetic appeal or refinement.
In the past, Xiao Pan was the one who took photos for promotional meetings. His skills were not as good as most others, but better than most. He took better photos than ordinary people and was very proud of it.
After Qin Yao came, her photography composition skills were four or five levels higher than Xiao Pan's and Chen Baozhen's. She was very good at choosing lenses and her composition effects were excellent. Everyone who had seen her spoke highly of her.
"There will be an exchange meeting in a few days. Come with us and help take photos."
"You don't have to do anything else, just take pictures."
Qin Yao nodded happily: "Okay."
Taking photos is an easy job, but it’s a bit tiring to hold the camera. You can just sit around and take photos, and you can also eat and drink for free. It’s a good job.
When you are on a business trip, exchange or study, both accommodation in a guesthouse and meals are provided free of charge by the unit. If you eat in a restaurant, they can also be reimbursed.
The food in the restaurant is not the most delicious, but it is of good quality, with both meat and vegetables. People like Qin Yao, who are responsible for taking photos, can also sit at the table and get a seat.
In the past, Xiao Pan liked this good job. He could take photos and get a few meals for free, which saved a lot of expenses.
Now the "good job" of taking pictures has been taken away by Qin Yao, which makes Xiao Pan so angry that he vomits blood. Director Huang only gives him some odd jobs of taking pictures, so he has fewer opportunities to eat for free.
"Xiao Qin, you write such good articles, have you ever thought about participating in a literary journal's essay contest?"
Qin Yao smiled. She had thought about writing an article for a magazine, but this period was sensitive. When she wrote a story for Head Nurse Ge before, Qin Yao carefully considered her wording, fearing there might be problems. But because it was a medical story with positive energy, there was nothing wrong with it, so she completed the manuscript smoothly.
After following Director Huang for some time and listening to his teachings, she has gained a deeper understanding of literary propaganda and creation at that time, so it is not a bad idea for her to try writing manuscripts at this time.
Qin Yao prefers happy comedies. If she were asked to write a book, she would prefer to write happy stories. She doesn't like to write too tragic stories. If she writes magazine articles, she likes lifestyle magazines, focusing on life fashion, book sharing, humanities geography, and scenery travel.
"I don't know what to write, I don't know what to write?"
"Then take a look at the essay above."
The military's literary journals solicit articles every month. The vice president handed Qin Yao a literary journal and said, "You have to read this carefully."
After giving Qin Yao the journal and a meaningful look, the vice president left.
Qin Yao opened the catalog and read the titles one by one. Suddenly, she saw a familiar name in the author column... Gu Cheng?
Qin Yao knew on the boat that Gu Cheng had published many articles, which was not surprising, but was the book in his hand a literary magazine? This Gu Cheng writes poetry. Could it be that he has the same name as Gu Cheng?
A poem written by Gu Cheng, "Stars on the Sea", was published, expressing his longing for his family while at sea...
After Qin Yao finished reading it, she felt as if it was familiar, yet unfamiliar. In short, it was very strange, and made her feel shy and embarrassed after reading it.
The poem was actually quite well written, but many of the imagery in the sentence reminded her of the past and made her scalp tingle.
Gu Cheng wrote hundreds of poems for her. He was a very honest man. He was very confident in his works and his face was so thick that it was outrageous.
Qin Yao patted her face and turned to the end of the essay contest. There were some essays on coastal defense. If the article was selected, she would get a few dollars in royalties. Every year, many outstanding works would be selected for awards, with the highest prize being two hundred yuan, which was already a huge sum of money.
Although she felt that Gu Cheng's poetry was of average quality, at least it was published. Qin Yao was proud of it. Although she despised the crappy poems Gu Cheng had written in the past, this was considered his "above average" performance.
I inexplicably felt a sense of pride that my son has grown up.
After reading so many of your crappy poems, I feel like I have made some progress.
"Xiao Gu! Our Xiao Gu, you have made great progress!" When Gu Cheng returned home in the evening, Qin Yao came downstairs with a monthly magazine to greet him and congratulated him enthusiastically: "Xiao Gu, your masterpiece has been published."
When Gu Cheng heard the call "Little Gu", he raised his eyebrows in displeasure and glared at Qin Yao.
Xiao Gu is okay, at least better than this guy Xiao Cheng and Xiao Cheng who keeps yelling.
"I haven't published many masterpieces yet? Comrade Xiao Qin, you know very little about your husband. I will punish you by having you go to the study and copy the articles I have published."
Qin Yao made an "x" gesture.
"This is your first published poem. It's not bad."
"Comrade Qin and I agree." Comrade Gu was not at all humble. He stood with his arms crossed and a smile on his face, his five fingers of his right hand flying up and down like playing the piano.
Qin Yao made a face: "Shameless."
There was even a more shameless one. Gu Cheng walked up to Qin Yao and hugged her in his arms, whispering in her ear: "In a few days, please invite Xiao Gao and Xiao Chen to our house for dinner. By then, I will carefully select a dozen poems..."
"Read aloud?"
Gu Cheng scratched her nose: "That's right."
Qin Yao's jaw almost dropped to the ground, "Comrade Xiao Gu, could you please stop being so flirtatious?"
Gu Cheng is calm and composed: "If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking in the night in brocade clothes."
"You are amazing and educated. I will help you promote your wife."
It may seem shameless to publicize one's own masterpiece, but Comrade Qin Yao said that he "enjoys" promoting other people's "masterpieces".
It’s good to have a cultured person at home.
When the neighbor Zaohua was chatting with her, Qin Yao mentioned that her little Gu had published a poem. "He has written many articles, but this is the first time he has published a poem. It's not bad."
"Wow, writing poetry is so amazing!"
Sister Zaohua returned home and scolded her husband, "Look at you, you say you are a cultured person, but why have you never published any poems?"
"Captain Gu can write poetry and publish it."
Political Commissar Zhou was speechless.
Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng... Where does Gu Cheng get his artistic talent from?
The one who shared the same sentiment as Political Commissar Zhou was Gao Jianguo. Where did this Gu Cheng get his artistic talent from?
Chen Baozhen: "In fact, Captain Gu has really good conditions. I used to think he was older than Yaoyao, but now it seems that these are not problems. He looks young, has skills, and is talented. He is also so culturally romantic and can write poetry. Lao Gao, you really should learn from him."
"He and Yaoyao are a good match. I accept this son-in-law."
Gao Jianguo cursed in his heart. He felt uncomfortable when he heard Chen Baozhen praising Gu Cheng.
It’s just writing poetry. Who doesn’t know how to write doggerel?
Qin Yao contacted the female militia captain Miao Cuiye. She read the requirements for the essay contest and planned to write a story about female militiamen or female soldiers. She invited Miao Cuiye to her house to sit and chat and collect writing materials.
Miao Cuiye readily agreed.
At this time, a letter was sent to Qin Yao. It was a letter written by Qin Sange who was working in the countryside. He was originally working in the countryside in Guizhou Province. He knew that his sister was marrying far away on an island, and he also learned about Qin Yao's current living conditions from her family. This year, if he had the opportunity, he also signed up to support the construction of the island border farm.
Brother Qin San has been working in the countryside for several years. His family contacted him and wanted him to join the army. Brother Qin San hesitated. He was a good man. He had the opportunity and quota to join the army, but he always gave it to others. Now he still had something in his heart that he couldn't let go.
After staying at home for some time, Third Brother Qin went south to the island. Before leaving, his mother Chen Guixiang earnestly instructed him to take good care of his younger sister when he arrived on the island, and that his brother-in-law was a gentle and easy-to-bully person, so he should not let his younger sister go too far.
