So I went to the labor market again, and I went to many places and found many jobs. Among them, there are fried fritters, small restaurant handymen, wall putty workers, interior decoration workers, road repairs, etc., but they have never been able to find a job with free time to create.

I did some of those jobs for one day, some for two days, and some for two hours, but I didn't choose one in the end. The more I find work, the more dazzling my eyes become, and the more chaotic my heart becomes.

I want to stabilize my heart, or I can go back to Yunzhi. Although he has no relatives there, he has acquaintances, which is better than being unaccompanied and lonely now.

Sometimes I really think about something. That day, I was wandering around the labor market again when I suddenly felt a heavy tap on the back of the shoulder. Looking back, it turned out to be Yun Zhi's nephew Lao Zhan. Lao Zhan told me that he had come to me several times.

He said that his uncle called our house and told me about going out, and my parents wouldn't let me mix outside, so I hurried back to Yunzhi.

Afraid that I wouldn't listen, Lao Zhan persuaded me that my mother (referring to my mother. My father is older than Lao Zhan's father, so Lao Zhan calls my mother mother) You know that person, there are some things to take to heart. If you don't obey, I'm afraid she'll cry again.

I think about what Lao Zhan said, and think about last year. In addition, there is another piece of information that since Yun Zhiken called to tell my parents about me going out, it means that he still cares about me in his heart.

When I used to work with him, was I too sensitive and suspicious, so I closed myself off? Thinking about this, I followed Lao Zhan back to the construction team.

On the way back, Lao Zhan told me that in order to make money with peace of mind, my father cut off my back road and burned the original manuscript of my family's novel. He told Yun Zhi to let me work hard with Yun Zhi and save some money to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.

What will my future be? I don't know. What do I have plans for life? But what is the matter with my father, who burned the novel I had worked so hard to write without my consent?

Hey, forget it. I've come around in such a big circle, and I've endured so much hardship that I almost lost my life, and I haven't found a job where I have free time to create. It's better to listen to my father and work in the construction team. But I felt like I had to break up with literature.

So, the day after I came back from Lao Zhan, I didn't go to work, but went to the stall to buy a copy of the magazine "October", found the address on it, took out the novel that I had copied half at home, and came to the editorial office of "October".

Readers know what I was thinking, and I think the reason why my previous submissions were not selected was probably because I didn't know the editors well. If you don't know how to do it, I thought of giving a gift. I wanted to bribe people to help publish my novel.

Again, this is a foolish thing to do. And I was a poor bastard, I couldn't afford Hilton cigarettes, and I couldn't afford Moutai wine, so I bought two big watermelons.

With a large watermelon in one squeak and a novel wrapped in cloth in the other, I went up to the editorial office on the third floor under the guidance of a bald security guard.

I remember that the editor-in-chief was called Tian Zengxiang, but I didn't see him. I was greeted by an old lady in her sixties, who said she was the associate editor-in-chief. I told her about myself and showed me the half-written novel, and then put two large watermelons on a table.

The female editor-in-chief, surnamed Xie, told me, "Student, you may not know. We receive a mountain of manuscripts every day, and we may not be able to read the whole page, let alone half of it.

You better take it back first, and when you find the other half to bring it together, we can also review it for you. In addition, it is better to take your two watermelons back and eat them yourself. Next time, don't do that. You want us to make mistakes. With that, she waved her hand and motioned for me to go out.

I suddenly remembered a sentence in Wen Yiduo's lecture that I had studied: "When I step out of the gate with my front foot, I will not step back with my hind foot." ”

I, a nerd, was so stupid, so I said to Editor-in-Chief Xie, "Auntie, I have already brought the novel and watermelon, so I will put you here first." It doesn't matter if it's half or not, you can take a look first, help me as a staff officer, and see if I can be a writer. My wish was also fulfilled. ”

When the editor-in-chief Xie heard this, he frowned slightly, and then said: "Okay, okay, if you want to put it here, you can write me the address of your hometown, and I can contact you in case it is published." ”

As soon as I heard the word "publication", I was immediately excited. When I got the paper and pen that Editor-in-Chief Xie gave me to write the address of my home, the pen trembled and trembled. It took me half an hour to write that address, and I was sweating on my head.

After finishing writing, the editor-in-chief Xie persuaded me sincerely: "You go back to wait at home first, and we will inform you if there is good news." "As soon as I heard that, I left there and went back to the construction team.

However, I was working on the construction team while waiting for news. I waited for a long time, but there was no news at all. And I'm too embarrassed to go to the editorial office to get that half of the novel.
