"Hello Mr. Dai!"

"Hello Mr. Cheng, is there anything good? Listen to your voice with a happy look. Dai Houying was a little surprised when she received a call from Editor Cheng.

Could it be that Xiao Fei's work has a final review result so quickly, and is it good news that the final review has been passed? She was also a little excited when she thought about it.

It's just that Xiao Fei has been sent on the train back by himself last night, and he can't hear this good news for the time being.

"Yes, a great thing! Xiao Fei's article "Literature is Dead, Please Burn Paper If You Have Something" has been confirmed to be published in the next issue of the magazine. Editor Cheng said excitedly.

When Dai Houying heard this, he interjected: "Huh? You are really efficient, the manuscript that was sent over yesterday will be finalized today. ”

"Or because Xiao Fei's manuscript is good, the editor-in-chief admires him very much, and we have already determined the 'novel issue', Xiao Fei's long story "The Fish Walking on Land" will be published in the first issue of the 'special issue', and it is still the title of the issue, and it is estimated that the first volume of the 'novel special issue' will be listed at the end of September soon, which is earlier than the main issue!" Cheng Editor said in an impassioned voice.

"It's great." Dai Houying said excitedly.

"Is Xiao Fei still sh? If you come out and sit together in the evening, I'll have a treat. Editor Cheng only remembered at this time and asked about Xiao Fei's movements.

"Teacher Cheng, he left by train last night." Dai Houying said.

"Ahh That's a pity, forget it, I'll write to him and tell him the news. When Editor Cheng heard that Xiao Fei was no longer in SH, he was a little disappointed.

Such good news should be known to Xiao Fei as soon as possible.

"I'll send a telegram to his village in a moment, and I'll know the good news as soon as he returns to the village." Dai Houying said.

"That'll do fine."

In this era of poor communication, telegraphy is the fastest way to communicate with the vast rural areas. As a general rule, when the local post office receives the telegram, it must go to the home of the person receiving the telegram, even if it is late at night.

It's just that the cost of shooting telegrams is also very high, a word is a dime and a half, and it is generally not a particularly urgent matter, and no one among ordinary people will shoot telegrams.

Even when you have to shoot a telegram, everyone will also cherish the words as much as possible, try to save words, every word saved is a steamed bun!

It is precisely for this reason that there are many strange jokes about the telegraph circulating among the people.

Putting down the phone, Dai Houying asked her niece Dai Hui to go to the nearby post office to send a telegram to Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei was ignorant of the above things.

On this return trip, Dai Houying trusted his relationship and helped him buy a sleeper ticket, so the way back was not so hard, but he could leisurely enjoy the scenery along the way.

Lying on the bunk, he made a simple summary of his trip to the magic capital:

successfully saved his idol and made up for the regrets of his previous life.

Both manuscripts have been harvested for review, and the chances of publication should not be small, but until the exact news is obtained, everything is still uncertain.

It should be said that the results are not small.

How many literature lovers have worked tirelessly all their lives, and they can't post a manuscript on the harvest, and they are now infinitely close to publishing heavyweight works on the harvest.

Go back, and report to No. 1 Middle School after you go back.

He misses Xu Fengjuan a little.

Not to mention Xiao Fei, who was suffering time in the car, on the morning of the 27th, in Xili Village, the small building of the Xiao family was still under intense construction, and the scene was in full swing.

The small building has been capped, unlike other common flat-roofed small buildings in rural areas, the roof of the new building of the Xiao family is the kind of red tile slope roof, which has been specially treated with heat protection, so that it will not be too hot to live upstairs in the hot summer.

"Old Xiao, old Xiao! Your telegram from SH is here, take a look! A villager hurriedly trotted all the way over, shouting as he ran.

Xiao Youjin was carrying mud, and when he heard this shout, he felt a sigh in his heart.

Counting, the second boy has been going to SH for six or seven days, except for sending a telegram home on the day he arrived in SH, there has been no news since then, the family is worried about this, and I don't know what Xiao Fei's situation is now, he has never been far away when he is so old, and he ran to SH alone, which is really unreassuring.

Therefore, when Xiao Youjin heard the news of the telegram sent by SH, the first thing he thought was that Xiao Fei would not encounter any trouble, right?

When he thought of this, he was a little distracted.

Xiao Youjin put down his mud pocket, wiped his dirty hands on his dirty clothes, and walked towards the villagers who came to deliver telegrams to his family.

At this time, there were already several people around the village, and they were talking nonsense.

"Look at what is on the telegram."

"Xiao Fei must have had an accident in SH, otherwise he wouldn't have taken a telegram back at this time."

"Yes, it's very likely that something really happened, I heard that SH is very messy, thieves and scoundrels are rampant, Xiao Fei is not bullied to death when he gets there?"

"It's miserable, Xiao Fei won't be beaten to death, right?"

Someone was alarmist, with a hint of schadenfreude on his face. This person is Liu Zhenyang, a brother of Liu Zhenhai. The Xiao family has recently risen as fast as a rocket, which has made many people in the village red-eyed, and several brothers of Liu Zhenhai's family are even more jealous.

Someone immediately reproached him: "Zhenyang, you crow's mouth!" How can this be nonsense! It was Liu Mingxing's father, Liu Zhenbiao, who came out.

"Yes, yes! Isn't that a curse? The others whispered.

Seeing that he had provoked public anger, Liu Zhenyang walked away a little sneeringly and stepped aside.

Xiao Youjin came to the village with the telegram, and silently took the telegram, Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan happened to be not there, and he was illiterate, he hesitated for a moment, and said to Liu Zhenbiao: "Zhenbiao, you can help me take a look." ”

At this time, he was very frightened in his heart, afraid to hear bad news.

"Okay! Let me see. ”

Liu Zhenbiao received the telegram in his hand, and other people also leaned their heads over. I saw that the newspaper read: Dead will be sent out, and the next issue of the fish will be issued a long special number.

The telegraph was charged per word, and a word was a dime and a half, so the people who sent the telegram were often sparing money, as long as they could make the receiver of the telegram understand.

However, when Liu Zhenbiao read out this unincomprehensible sentence, the onlookers looked at each other, and no one understood what it meant.

I don't understand, I don't understand it at all!

I don't know how to interpret it!

However, there was a shocking word "death" in the telegram, and the person who sent the telegram was not Xiao Fei himself, but a person surnamed "Dai".

"You still don't believe it! My guess just now is likely to be true, Xiao Fei really encountered an accident in SH Bacheng and was killed. Liu Zhenyang came over again and said loudly.

This time, no one blamed him anymore, and many people at the scene were silent.

Everyone thinks that Xiao Fei is really likely to be more auspicious than lucky, otherwise how could someone else send a telegram home?

This day became a catastrophic day for the Xiao family, and the family fell into despair and grief because of this telegram.

For a while, the whole family was shrouded in a bleak cloud of gloom.

After hearing the very bad news, the mother fainted on the spot, and it took a lot of rescue to wake up, and then she kept crying: "My poor son, don't scare your mother!" Come back soon, come back, if you're gone, I don't want to live anymore......"

Xiao Yan also cried all the time.

Xiao Youjin squatted in the courtyard like a stone statue, silently crying.

Only Xiao Yang was better, he said to his father: "Dad, I'll go to SH and get the second child back, if the second child really suffers, Mala Bi!" Don't tell me to catch the crumbs, I caught them one by one and chopped them all up alive. ”

Xiao Yang's eyes were about to crack, and his mouth full of steel teeth was about to be crushed.

"Hun boy! You give me the honesty to stay at home, if you want to go, I will go, I am old, I don't have a few years to live, and it is worth fighting with those bad seeds! Xiao Youjin scolded his son angrily.

In the end, the father and son decided to take the car to X City early tomorrow morning, and then take the train to Shanghai, and they couldn't even take care of such a big thing as building a new building at home.
