Chapter 676 Manuscript Fees
"Got back so soon?" Tian Xiaoxia previously thought that the efficiency of "Harvest" was slow, but now she felt that it was too fast, and her heartbeat began to accelerate, "Teacher Jia, is this the choice?" ”
"I don't know yet, it may be ......" Jia Bing didn't know the word rejection, he waved the envelope again, "If you want to know, you can only know when you open the letter." He also hopes that this article will be published in Harvest.
This is not only because the Huangyuan region has not been able to publish an article in "Harvest" for a while, but also because he thinks that this book describes the story of the loess earth, which is also the environment in which he grew up, and he is eager to let the land where he grew up be seen by the whole country, so that they can see the unique thickness of the Loess Plateau.
As they were talking, Shen Long walked up from the bottom of the slope, "Teacher Jia, Xiaoxia, are you here?" Sit in the fast house. "Quickly open the door and welcome them in.
Without waiting for Shen Long to pour water, Jia Bing grabbed him and stuffed the envelope, "Shaoping, hurry up and take a look, "Harvest" has written back to you!" "It's all this work, he still has the heart to drink water.
Tian Xiaoxia also looked at it with the same eyes, Shen Long didn't let them wait too long, took the envelope and tore it, took out the middle letterhead, opened it and looked at it carefully.
"Shaoping, what did the letter say?" Jia Bing muttered in his heart, it shouldn't be a rejection letter if it's so thin, right? In general, the rejection will also be sent back with the letter; At this time, the manuscripts were all handwritten, and transcribing the manuscript was a very laborious matter, unlike the electronic manuscript in the future, so the editorial department would also be very considerate to send the original manuscript back so that the author could resubmit it to other magazines.
Although Tian Xiaoxia didn't ask, her hand clenched involuntarily, and she subconsciously stared at the back of the letter, as if her eyes could see through the letterhead and see the contents on it.
"Oh, it says my manuscript has passed and will be published in the next issue of the magazine!" Shen Long said with a faint smile on his face, this time he also saved himself from submitting articles to other magazines.
"Really? Show me! Jia Bing hurriedly leaned over, and Tian Xiaoxia looked left and right, only to see that the letter was just as Shen Long said, it was a notice of acceptance of the manuscript.
"Shaoping, congratulations, I remember that I submitted many manuscripts back then, and finally published it in the magazine." Jia Bing said with emotion that he not only delivered and revised it many times back then, but finally published it in Huang Yuandi's newspaper, which could not be compared with "Harvest" magazine at all.
"Shaoping, your efforts have finally not been in vain." Tian Xiaoxia tried her best to restrain herself, so that her tears did not fall out, his life was simply not easy, and at this moment, the hard work of the past was duly rewarded.
"If it weren't for Mr. Jia's help to guide the revision, it wouldn't be so easy to publish." Shen Long thanked, he didn't mention Tian Xiaoxia, just cast a grateful gaze, everything was silent.
After the three of them celebrated, Shen Long was about to cook for them, but was stopped by Jia Bing, "What are you doing with all this effort, go, come to me, my lover should come back, let's let her fry two dishes and have a drink." ”
This is not only a happy event for Shen Long alone, but also a great event worthy of celebration in the Huangyuan literary circles, Jia Bing, as a senior in the Huangyuan literary circles, naturally wants to take over the celebration, and insists on pulling Shen Long and Tian Xiaoxia over together.
Although Shen Long and Tian Xiaoxia wanted to celebrate alone, it was not easy to refuse Jia Bing's kindness, the three of them wanted to follow Jia Bing's house, at this time Jia Bing's lover happened to come back, and when he saw Shen Long, he showed a happy look, her business has been much better these days, thanks to Shen Long.
As soon as he heard that Shen Long's manuscript was published to celebrate, Jia Bing's lover went to the kitchen without saying a word, first got some cold dishes such as pig ears, let them drink, and then continued to prepare hot dishes.
"Come, for the publication of Shaoping's manuscript, and for our Huangyuan to produce another young writer, cheers!" Jia Bing raised his glass, Shen Long and Tian Xiaoxia raised their glasses and touched him, and the three of them drank it all together.
After drinking some wine, Jia Bing began to talk about the history of Huangyuan's literary circle, and talked about his meeting with the famous old writer Heibai some time ago, "Hey, it's a pity, if only this letter came a few days earlier, I can introduce you to Hei Lao by the way, let him see, we Huangyuan has a great young man again." ”
The literary world is relatively free compared to other fields, but with the help of an old-timer, young people can also walk a lot better in the future, Jia Bing wants to pave the way for him.
Tian Xiaoxia kept this incident in mind, Hei Bai had a good relationship with her father Tian Fujun, she had met a few times, maybe she could take Shaoping over to visit him next time, but Shaoping shouldn't need these, right?
"Shaoping, although the editorial department is not very easy to get into now, but you have an article published on "Harvest", I think I can find a way to win you down....." Jia Bing is a good person, and now he is starting to think about helping Shen Long find a formal job.
"Thank you, Mr. Jia, but I don't need it for the time being, I'm fine now." Entering the official unit was something that Sun Shaoping couldn't ask for in the past, but Shen Long was not so persistent, even if he went to the editorial department and the Cultural Bureau, which were relatively relaxed, he had to work every day, he didn't like it, and it was not conducive to him protecting Tian Xiaoxia in the future.
"I'm just the time when I need to accumulate now, sitting in the office and seeing the same things every day, I want to take advantage of my youth to experience more, so that I can continue to create." Shen Long added.
Tian Xiaoxia understood what he meant, she remembered the stories from the mouths of those laborers that Shen Long had told her before, although it was a pity to miss such an opportunity, but if she could write more high-quality works, it would be worth it, but she was a little distressed, this kind of life was still too bitter.
Jia Bing is also a literary worker, he can understand Shen Long's thoughts, on the one hand, he feels a little regretful, on the other hand, he feels that this seems to be the attitude that young people who are interested in literary creation should have, many young people who showed talent when they were young, but gradually lost their creative inspiration after entering the unit, of course he didn't want the young man in front of him to be like this.
After eating, Tian Xiaoxia and Shen Long helped clean up, and then said goodbye and left, Shen Long sent Tian Xiaoxia all the way home, today they didn't have much opportunity to communicate alone, so they agreed to meet next weekend.
Back in the cave, Shen Zheng took out an envelope, which not only contained the manuscript acceptance letter of "Harvest" magazine, but also a remittance slip, and the manuscript fee for him was also sent by the way.
