Chapter 27: Is This Also Worth Bragging On?
Regarding the turmoil that happened in Z City, Xiao Fei naturally had no way of knowing. Mainly because, in 96, it was still too inconvenient to contact in different places.
At this time, mobile phones were just emerging in China.
BP machines are in full swing, but the popularity is mainly in the cities.
In the vast rural areas, there are very few landline telephones, and mobile phones are still used by those who got rich first to install × props. It's a BP machine that is so popular that it doesn't work, and it costs more than a thousand to buy a digital machine, and Hanxian's is even more thousand, and the poor can't afford to play at all.
What's more, even if you buy a BP machine, you need a phone to cooperate!
In the countryside, buying a BP machine can probably only be used as a watch.
At this time, the way for the public to connect is really too scarce.
Therefore, Xiao Fei didn't know that he had been piggybacked by someone with jealousy.
Xiao Fei and his brother had a meal in the county town, each of them had a bowl of dumplings, asked for two side dishes, two bottles of cold beer, and talked while eating.
After drinking the wine, Xiao Yang's spirit relaxed.
In fact, after being transformed by Xiao Fei, his mentality immediately changed a lot, and he was no longer as shy and silent as when he first arrived in the city.
It was clearly not enough for my brother to drink just a bottle of beer.
Xiao Fei asked him for another bottle.
By the time we had eaten and drunk to our heart's content, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time of the day. At this time, riding a bicycle home, running all the way, the big solar energy will burn half of people's lives.
Xiao Fei persuaded Xiao Yang that it was better to rest for a while before leaving.
Xiao Yang also nodded in agreement.
After coming out of the restaurant, the two went to Xinhua Bookstore and stayed in the bookstore until almost four o'clock in the afternoon, when they hurriedly pedaled the car and rushed home.
Sweating profusely, he pedaled the car and finally returned to the village at five o'clock.
When the brothers walked to the village cross street, they saw more than a dozen people gathered at the door of the village chief Liu Zhenhai's house, both men and women, talking about Liu Xinmei and Wang Guizhi.
The reason why there are still so many people who have not worked in the field at this time is because many people in the village are now busy catching turtles and making extra money.
When those people saw Xiao Yang, who had changed a lot, they all began to joke with him.
"Yo! Xiao Yang, this is a blind date today, right? Why is it so fashionable? ”
"Xiao Yang, I wore it like this earlier, and I married my daughter-in-law early."
"The clothes are good-looking, people are a little frustrated, Xiao Yang, such good clothes, it's a bit of a waste to wear on you."
Of course, there are people who care about something else.
"Xiao Yang, what's the matter? Have you sold the turtles? What's the price? Sold for a lot of money, right? ”
Everyone in the village knows that Xiao Yang and his brothers went to the county seat with two sacks of turtles early this morning, and of course they wanted to ask about the situation.
Xiao Yang stopped, and Xiao Fei had no choice but to stop next to this group of people on his feet, listening to his brother talking to these people.
I don't know if it's an illusion, he feels that his brother is a lot more free and easy when communicating with people.
Most of the people surrounding Xiao Yang were consulting the skills of catching turtles, after all, the Xiao family was a pioneer in this regard, and they made a lot of money.
"What are you all doing here?" Xiao Fei asked a person next to him.
The man pointed at Liu Xinmei with a mouth of big yellow teeth and said, "It's nothing, Xinmei published a novel in the magazine "Heyang Literature" in our county, and everyone gathered around to see it. ”
Heyang Literature is a literary magazine founded by the Heyang County Cultural Center, which does not have a regular issue number, that is, it is a publication in the nature of an internal magazine.
The magazine is quarterly, and only one is published in the first quarter.
Each issue will print up to 1,000 copies and distribute them to various organs and units in the county, which can be regarded as a performance of the cultural center.
Since it is a magazine in Heyang, most of the authors are naturally literature lovers in this county.
There is no manuscript fee for this magazine.
Even, if you want to post a manuscript on it, if it doesn't matter, you have to send some gifts to the people in the cultural center to fight or something, so that you can post on it.
Xiao Fei knew that Liu Xinmei also liked literature, and she was also known as a talented woman in Heyang No. 1 Middle School.
It's just that her words are very fragmented and divergent, and it is not easy to publish them.
He still remembers that in his previous life, when he began to publish his works in newspapers and periodicals, Liu Xinmei was very close to him, and from time to time he came to ask for his guidance with his own articles, and asked him how he submitted his manuscripts, whether he knew the editor or anything.
Wang Guizhi was very unhappy when he saw that Xiao Fei and his brothers had attracted the attention of most people after they stopped and stole the limelight.
When Liu Xinmei saw Xiao Fei, she was a little uneasy and a little ashamed.
Her manuscript was sent out after leaving a relationship with a person in the cultural center, and compared with Xiao Fei, her achievement is nothing at all. Xiao Fei has published articles in the national magazines "Middle School Times", "Middle School Students' Reading", and "Juvenile Literature and Art".
"Xiao Fei, I remember that you seem to have posted articles before, right? It seems to be the kind of small article as short as one or two pages, and you can barely be regarded as a cultural person, you can take a look, this novel sent by my plum is more than a dozen pages! Such a thick stack of paper, the name of Meizi's novel is written on the cover of the book! Do you think that this article published by Meizi is much better than the article you published? ”
Before Liu Xinmei could talk to Xiao Fei, Wang Guizhi twisted her big buttocks, held a copy of "Heyang Literature" in her hand, and came to Xiao Fei, showing off to Xiao Fei.
Liu Xinmei couldn't help but sweat profusely.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Liu Xinmei hurriedly shouted.
"Why am I talking nonsense, look at you girl, you don't give your mother face at all, your novel is much better than those articles sent by Xiao Fei!" Wang Guizhi muttered angrily.
Xiao Fei didn't care, he smiled, took this Heyang literature in his hand, glanced at it, there were several recommended article titles on the cover, and asked Liu Xinmei: "Which one is yours?" ”
"This." Liu Xinmei pointed to a title a little embarrassed.
"Oh!"
Xiao Fei nodded, and said in his heart, the title is quite literary and artistic, called "Flowers on the Other Side of the Lechuan River".
"Xiao Fei, you give me advice, I know that I have too many shortcomings, but I don't know how to change it." Liu Xinmei is quite modest, but there is a hint of pride in her eyes.
Her novel has more than 10,000 words, and it took me an unknown number of nights to come up with it, and she wrote and rewrote many places.
"Okay, I'll see."
Xiao Fei opened it and browsed it roughly. I have to say that Liu Xinmei's writing is still quite smooth, and her vocabulary is rich enough.
This one is about love, which is also an eternal literary theme of human beings, and Liu Xinmei writes a story similar to the unfinished love between people and ghosts.
Xiao Fei read it quickly, almost ten lines at a glance, a short story of more than a dozen pages, and he finished reading it in a few minutes.
How to say it, Xiao Fei feels that Liu Xinmei's language is passing, but the narrative ability of storytelling is too poor, the logical structure is also poor, and the details are not generally rough.
"Hey, you're watching too fast, aren't you? You're too disrespectful, aren't you? Our plum's novel, don't you understand it? Wang Guizhi screamed sharply beside him.
Liu Xinmei was also very dissatisfied.
Her painstaking work finally turned into a lead word, and after getting the sample book, she read it again and again, and felt that she was still very satisfied, this Xiao Fei fooled her like this?
