"It is estimated that it will take more than a week to send it from us to the magic capital, and then the review of "Harvest" magazine will be busy for a while, and there is still time to arrange publication, it is estimated that it will take a month or two at the earliest, so don't be too anxious." The letter was stuffed in, Tian Xiaoxia was afraid that he would be too concerned, so she said with relief.

"It's okay, I'm the first one, it's best to be favored by the editor of "Harvest", it doesn't matter if you call back, aren't there so many magazines?" Shen Long's mentality is very peaceful, he is now on the right path, and he will not eagerly hope for success.

The two of them walked side by side towards the family courtyard of the prefectural committee as before, Tian Xiaoxia felt that this weekend and Shen Long had been busy for two days very fulfilling, and her mood became happy, and she even hummed a song in a low voice, and with her own singing, her steps gradually became progressive.

"Then I'll come back to you next Saturday." It was still at the door of the family courtyard of the prefectural committee, Tian Xiaoxia solemnly agreed before they were separated, and at this time she began to look forward to the rain on Saturday, because if it rained, Shaoping would not be able to go to work, so that they could spend almost the whole day together.

No, no, Xiaoxia, you can't be too selfish, Shaoping is now working for a day and getting money for a day, and his food, drink, and money for buying ink and manuscript paper have to be squeezed out from here; I forgot about it this time, and when I come back next week, I'll bring him some manuscript paper, and his pen seems to be a little jerky, so I'll go back and pick a better one.

However, on another Saturday afternoon, when Tian Xiaoxia came to the cave with thick manuscript paper, books borrowed from the library and newly bought hero brand pens, she saw that the cave door was locked, Tian Xiaoxia opened the door with the key that Shen Long gave her, and saw that the books and manuscript paper on the table had been taken away, and there was only one note left for her.

"Xiaoxia, I'm sorry, I received a letter from home a few days ago to go back to Shuangshui Village, it shouldn't be a big deal, don't worry, you are not there after going to the prefectural committee twice, I can only leave you a message here, this time I don't expect to stay for a few days, I will be back soon, and I will go to the prefectural party family home to find you when the time comes! Oh, by the way, there's a new beginning in the drawer that I wrote during this time, and please help me straighten it out! Less flat stay. ”

Go home? Is something going on in Shaoping's house? Tian Xiaoxia immediately became nervous, although it didn't matter what was written in his letter, but under normal circumstances, who would write a letter to ask him to go back if he had nothing to do at home? It's not easy to go back, and the ticket costs several yuan, which is enough for the family's expenses for a while.

Tian Xiaoxia put away the note, got up and was about to go to find Jin Bo, among the few classmates in Huangyuan in Yuanxi County, Jin Bo and Shaoping have the best relationship, and Jin Bo must know what is going on in Shaoping's family.

They all walked to the door, Xiaoxia thought about it and came back to take the manuscript from the drawer, and didn't care about reading the content of the manuscript, so she hurriedly went out and walked to the Dongguan Post Office, and when she arrived at the door of the post office, she happened to see Jin Bo Zhengle and his father Jin Junhai talking something, Xiaoxia was relieved.

Jin Junhai often drives the mail car back to Yuanxi County, if something happens to Shaoping's family, he must know, he knows Jin Bo will naturally know, looking at Jin Bo's happy appearance now, then there must be nothing wrong, otherwise Jin Bo would have gone back to help, then he would be as happy as now?

Xiaoxia was a little disappointed that she didn't see Shaoping today, but when she thought of the manuscript in her bag, Xiaoxia became happy again, and hurried back without saying hello to Jin Bo, she was eager to read this new story right away.

Back at home, sitting at the desk, Tian Xiaoxia solemnly took out the manuscript and looked at it, the name of the story is "Old Well", and the beginning is like this:

In the depths of the vast Hengshan Mountains, there is a small Qinglong River, which eventually flows out of the deep mountains and joins the Wuding River; When it passed a large mountain, it lingered for a moment at the root of the mountain, and with a slight turn, a small col was bent; In this small mountain pass, there is a small mountain village called "Old Well".

It was a rainy and misty early morning, and in the small courtyard by the well at the east end of the village, a woman carrying water in the morning flashed out, with a flower handkerchief on her head, a small flat shoulder, and a pair of squeaky buckets, and walked leisurely towards the back mountain.

This story is also related to Zhang Yimou, which was later adapted into a movie, Zhang Yimou served as the leading actor, and won the Hundred Flowers Award, the Golden Rooster Award and the leading actor of the Tokyo Film Festival for the role of Sun Wangquan.

This story tells the story of the ancestors of Laojing Village on the Loess Plateau who have not been able to drill a sweet water well for generations, and the elderly pin their hopes on the young people to dig the well.

Qiaoying, a handsome rural girl, had to return to her hometown to work as a farmer after failing the college entrance examination, she was in love with the young man Sun Wangquan in the same village, and the two had a common ambition to yearn for the world outside the mountain, and they often looked forward to a better future together.

But it was not what people wanted, Wan Shui Ye in order to give Wang Quan's younger brother Wang Cai the money to change his marriage, insisted that he be the young widow Xifeng's "inverted door" son-in-law, seeing that the ideal was about to disappear in front of his eyes, the two stubborn young men Qiaoying and Wang Quan decided to run away from home and betray this arranged marriage......

There is also a story about leading the villagers to dig wells and finally letting the villagers drink sweet water, but Shen Long has not written it yet......

Tian Xiaoxia was immersed in the story, and at this time, Shen Long had already returned to Shuangshui Village, when he received the letter a few days ago, Jin Bo was still worried about him, but Shen Long didn't have too many concerns, he knew that the old man Yuhou asked him to go home this time to discuss the separation of the family.

found the foreman and paid the salary, Shen Long changed into new clothes from head to toe, went to get a haircut, and then went to the department store to buy a dress for everyone in the family, and bought a lot of food, the rotten yellow bag obviously couldn't be brought back, so he bought a big new canvas bag, people who go out to work hard are always like this, even if they have a hard time outside, they must clean up as much as possible when they go home, so that people feel that they are doing a good job outside the door!

This is not only vanity, but also to keep the family from worrying, except for Jin Bo and Tian Xiaoxia, no one knows that he is working in Huangyuan, if the old man Yuhou knows, he will definitely be worried.

hitchhiked on Jin Junhai, along the way, Jin Junhai couldn't stop thanking Shen Long, thanking him for finding a job for Jin Bo, but it can be heard that Jin Junhai didn't take this as a regular business, in his plan, Jin Bo first did this to deal with it for a year or two, save some money, and then when he was older, he retired and let Jin Bo take over.

A few hours later, the dear Shuangshui Village was in sight.
