After calming his excited and trembling heart, Sun Ye took out the envelope he had been holding all the way. It seemed nothing special on the surface, but felt very thin.
Tear off the sealing tape and slightly pinch the sides of the envelope to make it bulge so that you can see what's inside.
I couldn't see clearly, so I just reached out and took it out. A few bills fell to the table because I didn't hold them firmly. It looked like there were quite a lot of them.
Sun Ye grinned, opened the only receipt letter, unfolded it and took a look. The paper made a crisp sound as it opened.
Sun Ye read the letter quickly and finished it in less than a minute. It said:
"Dear Ms. Sun Ye, thank you very much for your manuscript. After review, I found that your manuscript is very consistent with the content of the newspaper, so I will accept it. I will pay you the newspaper's price of 50 cents per thousand words. Please be advised!"
These few short lines gave Sun Ye great encouragement. It was impossible not to be discouraged after two weeks without any news.
I confirmed the mailing date of the letter again. The letter had already been sent, but it was just delayed a little too long on the way.
Thinking about the means of transportation in this era, Sun Ye finally understood why it was delayed for so long. However, as long as it could arrive, it would be fine. As long as nothing was lost, Sun Ye would be satisfied.
After making sure that the doors and windows were closed and no one could know what she was doing in the dormitory, Sun Ye took out the receipt letter, put it to her lips, kissed it excitedly a few times, and then pressed it tightly against her chest, treating it like a treasure.
He took the money on the table with one hand, exactly fifty cents, not more, not less. The number of words Sun Ye wrote was a little over a thousand.
Holding the receipt in one hand and the money in the other, she turned around in circles in the dormitory, suppressing a scream of surprise, her eyes curved with smiles, and her mouth never closed.
If she wasn't afraid of affecting her image, she really wanted to go out and yell a few words, or swing under the tree for a few rounds.
After looking at the fifty cents again and again, she could see the difference. This was the first pot of gold Sun Ye earned on her own. When she was in the Qianjin Brigade, she had never seen a newspaper, otherwise she would have earned a hundred or eighty yuan.
The more Sun Ye thought about it, the more she felt that she had missed a lot. If she had discovered this business opportunity earlier, her family wouldn't have to be so stingy.
At this moment, Sun Ye was obsessed with money, and his eyes lit up when he looked at fifty cents.
Since submitting the article worked, then the issue of open source in the future will be easily solved. Maybe when I save more money in the future, I can send some back to Sun's parents.
Now that she has money, Sun Ye's craving for meat has come up. She hasn't eaten meat for a long time. She is happy today, so it shouldn't be too much to have a meal of meat to celebrate.
In fact, Sun Ye had already eaten meat at his teacher's house the week before last, but, as the saying goes, who would complain about having too much money? He thought, it's okay to have another meal with meat.
I put fifty cents in my small pocket and had a lavish dinner. I ordered a dish, stir-fried cabbage with pork slices. The aunt who served the food thought Sun Ye was very cute, so she added two more slices of meat.
In fact, Sun Ye wanted to eat braised pork at first. The color and the shiny and thick meat were really attractive.
Sun Ye turned his head away and didn't look at her any more. He was afraid that he would change his mind after just one look. The price of the braised pork was really too shocking, a full 40 cents!
Forty cents! After she paid for the manuscript, she only had ten cents left. She couldn't afford it.
Stir-fried cabbage and pork slices was still better. Two cents was something she could barely accept. She endured the pain in her flesh and held the coin tightly when paying the two cents, which made the auntie who served the food look at her. Only then did Sun Ye smile stiffly and slowly loosen the two cents she was holding tightly.
The moment she turned around, she held up her stiff cheeks, and the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. Her little money had become someone else's before she could even warm it up.
Sitting in his seat, Sun Ye ate the fried cabbage bite by bite, and the heartache he had just felt instantly disappeared.
He ate heartily, enjoying every bite. In the end, all the cabbage was eaten, leaving only five slices of meat with fat and lean meat lying at the bottom of the lunch box.
It’s still good meat, pure pork belly. Just looking at it, Sun Ye’s mouth is watering.
He carefully picked up a piece and wrapped it with white rice. Yes, in order to go well with the dish, Sun Ye specially ordered white rice, which cost him one cent.
Slowly put it into your mouth, and your mouth will be filled with fragrance, the elasticity of the meat, the smoothness of the oil, and the granular fragrance of the rice grains will explode in your mouth again and again as your teeth bite.
It’s worthy of being called meat!
Sun Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, his mouth puffed up, enjoying the taste of the money, it was really delicious.
After chewing until you can no longer feel any granularity in your mouth, you can swallow it down in one gulp. It seems that your stomach knows that it is delicious food and can't wait to take it into your stomach to enjoy the hard-earned oil and water.
Bite after bite, Sun Ye ate the five pieces of meat-wrapped rice as if they were the most delicious delicacy. Wang Qingqing even stopped eating her own meal because Sun Ye ate so deliciously. Just watching him eat made her feel like she was eating too.
My stomach is full!
"Student Sun Ye, is this dish delicious?"
Wang Qingqing couldn't help it. If it was really that delicious, she would reluctantly buy one to try it tomorrow.
“It’s delicious.”
How could money not taste good? Was she eating meat? No, it wasn't.
After eating, she remembered that this meal cost her a total of thirty cents, which was enough for her food for three days. It seemed that she had to write a few more articles quickly to strive for the freedom to eat meat and rice.
Although she was told to write the manuscript quickly, it was not something that could be written casually. If she didn't have any inspiration, what she wrote would be like a piece of shit. Not to mention whether the editor of the publishing house would accept it, she herself would be embarrassed to send out such a manuscript.
The writing of the manuscript came to a halt for a while, and Sun Ye was discouraged for a few days until she found that she could no longer keep up with the content of the counselor's lecture. Then she suddenly realized that she had lost sight of the big picture and spent too much time and effort on the manuscript.
She had warned herself many times, but when the result of her desire was in front of her, she couldn't help but fall into the whirlpool of money.
After returning to the dormitory and thinking it through, Sun Ye took out the receipt letter he had sent before, read it one last time, closed his eyes, and tore it into pieces one by one. When it was torn into pieces and could no longer be restored to its original appearance, he threw it into the trash can.
Take out the book and start reading. If she has inspiration in the future, she will write it down. When she has no inspiration, she will study seriously. Remember, the most important thing for you is to study!
After making the decision, his mind suddenly became much clearer, as if the mist had originally obscured the scenery in the mountains, making it difficult to see clearly. But now, the mist has dissipated, revealing the true color of the mountain, and lush flowers, plants and trees are displayed before his eyes, just waiting for Sun Ye to explore its mysteries.
Perhaps there really is such a thing as enlightenment. Ever since Sun Ye gave up her focus on making money, she has gained a deeper understanding of the world. Even the books she read used to find obscure and difficult to understand, but now she can make sense of them and get to the core of them.
His grades improved by leaps and bounds, and he had a huge gap with his classmates.
Willows planted intentionally may not grow tall, but they may grow into a shade if planted unintentionally.
Sun Ye kept getting inspiration for the content of the manuscript, but he was not as anxious as usual. He finished everything he needed to do before he started writing the manuscript at a leisurely pace.
Yes, she did not give up writing articles. Writing articles became a way for her to spice up her life. She read and read day after day until she became stupid.
The weather is getting warmer, and I only need to wear a sweater outside, and I can replace my thick cotton-padded jacket.
Just like when he first entered the campus, Sun Ye would walk alone on the paths inside the school from time to time. The trees had grown tender leaves and the grass was lush and green.
The peach trees are already in bloom, looking pink and tender. Standing in the center of the peach forest, you can still smell the fragrance of the peach blossoms.
When the wind blows, some of the flowers on the peach tree cannot hold on and flutter in the air. Sun Ye loves to read on the stone under the peach tree. Sometimes the wind brings the peach blossoms to her, to her shoulders, and to the pages of her book.
I picked up a petal at random and looked at it carefully. It was the same color and petal as the one in my yard. Unfortunately, it was not the peach tree at home.
There was no way to comfort her parents, so looking at these peach blossoms, Sun Ye's longing for them eased a little. The peach tree at home must have bloomed, and she would be able to eat them when she had her summer vacation in the summer.
That day, Sun Ye attended class as usual. After class, the counselor actually called her to the office.
Sun Ye was a little curious when he was called to the office for the first time. It was not like someone in the class had been called before, but when they returned to the classroom, they all had red eyes, which was obviously not a good thing.
What she was sure of was that she had not done anything wrong, she had not been absent-minded in class, and she had completed the homework assigned in class seriously. It could be said that she had completed it meticulously.
After all, the homework is linked to her credits, and she doesn't want to fail.
"Student Sun Ye, you usually don't perform well and don't actively speak in class. However, I noticed that your homework is unique and some of your insights and approaches are quite fresh. I want to confirm with you whether this is the result of your independent thinking."
The counselor's face was very serious, but Sun Ye did not feel scared. She had a clear conscience about completing the task.
"Counselor, I'm sure I completed this all by myself. There was no help from anyone else."
"I didn't mean that. I just wanted to confirm it."
Sun Ye nodded and said, "Counselor, you can ask my classmates or my roommates. When I was doing my homework, there was no one around to help me."
"As for why I'm asking this question, the school's research institute is currently conducting research on a related topic, and your ideas might be helpful to this research experiment. So, they're asking if you're interested in working there..."
"Student Sun Ye, I don't know what you think. The school doesn't force students to enter the graduate school, but it is a great opportunity. I hope you can think carefully before making a decision."
"Counselor, will going to the graduate school affect the courses I'm taking?"
Sun Ye asked about the topic that concerned her most. She wanted to go to the research institute, but her foundation was too poor. She only had a little experience in the Qianjin Brigade and was afraid that she would not be able to do the experiments there well.
"It won't affect you. You just need to go to the research institute on weekends. You can attend other classes as usual. You can make your own arrangements..."
It can be said that this condition is very relaxed. Who can enter the graduate school in the first semester of college? It takes two or three years to get the opportunity to enter. And you must be talented enough, have excellent grades, and have good moral character!
"If you work at the research institute, you can get a five-yuan subsidy a month. Of course, if you can produce results, the five yuan will be much more than that."
Sun Ye thought about it for a moment and agreed to go to the institute to work on Sunday. Her own teacher was also there, and she couldn't find any place to play on Sunday, so she might as well stay in the institute.
If she doesn't agree, she'll have a problem with her brain!
