Tight days

In the second semester, Ning Zhiyuan found that his living expenses were not enough. The price of meals in the canteen has increased, but the school subsidy is still 45 yuan, and the 100 yuan given by the family is difficult to maintain.

If you do the math, it's about 50 yuan a month. He planned to eat three taels of meat every meal, and he had to eat less meat and strive to eat meat once a week.

Usually the washing water is connected to tap water, and the hot water for five cents can also be saved; The clothes were torn, and I went to buy needlework and sewing them; In the calligraphy class, other students used rice paper, and he found the old newspapers in the reading room, which absorbed the same water; The fare is a bit expensive, I used to go home once a month, but now I basically go back once every two months, and I told my mother that school activities are too busy to do.

Tranquility wrote to ask if the living expenses were enough, and the two brothers knew that their sister's salary was pitiful, and it was not easy to live alone in the provincial capital, so they replied that it was enough, and there was no need to send money.

In the face of the pressure of life, as the children of peasant families, they cut back on food and clothing, and try not to add burden to the family.

In that barren era, exercise also created the quality of this generation of post-70s to move forward, and it is through all kinds of hardships and tribulations that they have become more resilient and more calm to face life.

Sitting in the reading room, he looked at the inspiration of the call for papers in the "Star Poetry Magazine", and his eyes fell

"Manuscript fee is preferred" four words. He suddenly became excited and decided to switch from reading to writing. This naïve idea turned out to be motivated by the desire to earn manuscript fees.

He devoted his main energy to writing poems, and in his spare time, he immersed himself in writing and painting, and from time to time submitted poems to some newspapers and magazines, which basically fell into the sea.

Just when he was frustrated and wanted to give up, the "Middle School Teacher and Student Daily" actually published one of his poems. He held the newspaper and screamed with excitement.

But when I saw the eight-yuan manuscript fee sent, I fell into deep disappointment, and I used dozens of dollars for envelopes and stamps for most of the semester, which was a miserable loss.
