Chapter 30 Why I don't feel anything
The village chief took a quick look and sighed: "This first aid manual is so useful. It contains things that we ordinary people often encounter. With it, we can save a lot of money and let our relatives and friends suffer less. Okay, you guys take a rest first, I'm going to go back. I'll let you know when there's news."
After seeing off the village chief, Nie Yichang poked his head in and said, "Xiao An, if this first aid manual is really publicized, you will have made a great contribution. At least you can get a temporary job in the commune.
I'm not trying to scare you, but farm work is not something that delicate girls like you can do."
Since he helped to save Fang Lixi, he unilaterally reconciled with the An brothers and sisters.
The elder brothers Qin Dapeng and Shan Teng also opened the door and nodded in agreement. "This kind of opportunity is rare. Xiao An, the educated youth, should strive for it. Besides, you can contribute much more in the commune than working in the fields. I believe that as long as the commune leader is a good person, he will definitely give you this opportunity."
Fei Zheng chuckled and said, "Yes, Xiao An, an educated youth, can be registered in the commune, which is beneficial and harmless."
An Zhiqiu waved his hand and said, "It's just a brochure. The methods recorded in it have not been verified. How can we think so far ahead? The leaders of the commune must have their own plans." He didn't say it for sure. He also wanted his sister to join the commune so that she wouldn't have to work in the fields every day. But he couldn't show it in front of outsiders.
Pulling his sister into the kitchen, he said, "Xia Xia, what do you think? It is indeed a big deal to be able to spread the booklet to the surrounding villages. If the commune leaders want to use this as a springboard for promotion, they have to appease you. It would be great if you don't have to work in the fields and suffer from the wind and sun.
What's more, this will add to our record of supporting construction in the countryside, and you will get good treatment when you return to the city."
An Zhixia smiled and said, "Even though we are only in the commune, the water there is also very turbid. We should just live our own lives and take one step at a time. We can't just keep silent and give away credit for nothing."
"That's right. The commune is not big and everything can't be covered up. I'll be diligent in finding out and won't let anyone get past us." As a grown man, it doesn't matter to him as long as the girl doesn't suffer.
In winter, water outside freezes into ice, and people stay indoors, doing handicrafts. Men weave baskets, winnowing baskets, twist hemp ropes, tie brooms, etc., while women make soles and insoles, spin yarn and weave cloth. They are never idle.
In the educated youth's yard, Liu Yiyue and Fei Zheng also hoped to buy some daily necessities by selling the soles and insoles of their shoes. Chen Sike often took Qi Yunlan to the next room to eat and chat to kill time.
The men borrowed books from each other and occasionally went to the back mountain to hunt for game, but returned empty-handed seven or eight times out of ten. An Zhiqiu also joined in the fun, and whenever he met Fang Yuan, he would secretly give him one or two pieces of game, such as wild rabbits, pheasants, and sometimes even half a wild roe deer, or delicious bamboo rats, saying that Xie An Zhixia helped the children sew quilts and clothes.
An Zhiqiu felt embarrassed to take it, but An Zhixia felt very at ease accepting it.
After the New Year, there was no pork for sale in the village that didn't require tickets but only money. They had a limited number of meat tickets, so they went to the town supply and marketing cooperative to buy it, but the distance was far and it was not worth the hassle. As for the black market, they had just arrived here and didn't know anything, so it was not a good idea to go there rashly.
So the game Fang Yuan gave her just alleviated this situation, allowing her to eat meat openly every now and then.
Of course, she would keep a record every time, and after the debt with her roommates was settled, she would let her brother use the money to buy it.
"Comrade Qi Yunlan, Comrade Qi Yunlan, please come to the village committee after hearing the broadcast. Here is a letter for you.
I repeat, Comrade Qi Yunlan..."
The sound of the horn could be heard very far in the winter. In those days, transportation was not well developed and letters and telegrams were almost the only means of communication. Especially in this mountain village where people had been rooted here for generations, except for family members serving in the army, only the educated youth could be named by the village party secretary on the loudspeaker.
Ten days after the New Year, this was the first letter to arrive in the village, enough for everyone to talk about it with envy for the whole day.
Upon hearing the voice, Qi Yunlan stood up excitedly, took a deep breath, pulled her clothes, grabbed two candies from the box, and walked out.
An Zhixia, who was sewing spring clothes for the brother and sister, paused with her needle and frowned slightly. A plot clearly emerged in her mind.
As the reborn heroine, Qi Yunlan took the trouble to be transferred to Hetang Village for the sake of the boss. She wanted to make friends with the boss naturally, but she did not put all her hopes on him. Therefore, in order to make her life easier, she collected a lot of newspapers for research, found out the routines and formats of articles, and wrote articles and submitted them to newspapers.
A modern woman who has read all the novels, story clubs, and micro-novels, and especially likes to read them twice, three times, or even five times, can select a few stories that are not out of the ordinary but deeply touching and package them slightly. Naturally, she will be able to stand out from the crowd of identical manuscripts.
If she guessed correctly, this was the receipt letter for Qi Yunlan's first manuscript acceptance.
Inside was a money order for more than five dollars, a current newspaper, a receipt and a letter of invitation.
Therefore, the hero and heroine have had two or three contacts. The heroine asked the hero, the only one with connections in the town, to help collect newspapers, and once asked the hero to help mail a letter.
With this manuscript approval, their interactions will only become more frequent and in-depth, leading to some good feelings between them that they themselves are not even aware of.
Thanks to the several letters she received from newspapers and magazines every month, the heroine became known to the villagers and educated youth in the surrounding villages. She was given the title of "great writer" and became an officer of the Propaganda Department of the commune without any setbacks.
An Zhixia blinked her eyes. Why did she feel so good when she watched it herself?
When she finally arrived in the world described in the novel, she actually had no feelings for the heroine and tried to avoid her...
Not long after, Qi Yunlan pushed the door open with a blushing face.
"Hey, is this a letter your family sent you? Didn't they bring any food?" Chen Sike circled around her.
Qi Yunlan chuckled and shook her head, and raised the letter in her hand sheepishly: "I submitted an article to a newspaper when I was free before, and I didn't expect it to be accepted. This is the reply from the newspaper."
Not only did Chen Sike scream in surprise, but Fei Zheng couldn't help but come forward out of curiosity.
"What are you doing? Is there any good news?" Nie Yichang couldn't help but rush to the door and asked.
"A great writer has emerged in our courtyard," Chen Sike was so excited as if he were a writer himself. He snorted at An Zhixia with a sidelong glance, and continued to urge Qi Yunlan to open the letter.
Her voice successfully attracted all the educated youth in the yard. Even the arrogant and dandy Hang Xianglei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which newspaper?"
