Fortunately, Xia Zhi was not ready to live in Pan Rui's house for the rest of his life. She learned about the housing prices in Xiadahe County, compared with Nanzhou, the housing prices in the center of the county are only more than 3,000 square meters, and you can buy a house with less than 100,000 down payments, which is simply touchingly cheap.

Now Pan Rui has a salary of more than 3,000 and nearly 4,000, if she can also find a job with a monthly salary of about 3,000, within two or three years, they will be able to buy their own small home.

So the main problem now is not the difference in the living habits of the two parties, but that she has to find a job as soon as possible.

With this cognition, in the past few weeks, Xia Zhi has been constantly brushing the recruitment network.

She also got two interview opportunities, one of which was in another town in the county seat, she didn't submit her resume, and the other party took the initiative to find her. After asking Pan Rui, she felt that she was too far away from home and gave up.

The other went on Friday, and a small company with less than ten people recruited a secretary, and offered a monthly salary of 1,080, which she refused without even thinking about it.

Looking for a job now is different from the mentality when she just graduated, and among the millions of fresh graduates in the province, she has little advantage. And now that the Spring Festival has just passed, various enterprises are in short supply, and she has a certain amount of work experience, which is her confidence.

She has to consider the monthly salary, she didn't expect to have the level of Nanzhou, but it is not so low that it is only one thousand eight after the probation period, and she thinks more about the company's development prospects, although she is young, she does not want to waste her youth.

After coming out of the interview unit, Xia Zhi walked around the center of Dahe County, which is slightly more lively than Wugu Town, and there are also larger shopping malls. But she still felt distracted.

In Nanzhou, she often felt lonely because she was alone in the bustle, and when she left Nanzhou, she missed this loneliness.

She told Pan Rui about this feeling, and planned to go back to Nanzhou to have fun and go to see Xiao Yiqing and Liang Lu, Pan Rui laughed at her for having nothing to do: "Didn't you just leave Nanzhou for two weeks?" Where is there so much sentimentality? ”

"Don't you want Nanzhou? You've lived there for four years. ”

"I don't want to. I think Taicheng is better than Nanzhou, the food is good, the accommodation is good, the air is good, the life is leisure, and it is like fighting in Nanzhou. ”

"Okay." Pan Rui is not wrong to say this, his life at home is much more comfortable than in Nanzhou, although she has not gone to his work unit to find him, judging from his statement, it seems that he is also like a fish in water.

Xia Zhi is both lost and relieved, at least, if one of the two of them is happy, then her choice is worth it.

The work was not settled for a while, so she continued to code. One of the editors she contacted gave her an invitation, and if she didn't respond, she also submitted a manuscript every once in a while, and she also wrote it when she looked at the reliable call for papers on the forum.

During the day, Pan's father went to the orchard or shaved his head, Pan Rui went to work, and there were two people at home, Xia Zhi and Pan's mother.

Pan's mother mostly watches TV on the second floor, and sometimes goes to play mahjong on the door, and every time she goes out or comes back, she will go up to the third floor to watch the summer solstice, and she is full of yearning for the summer solstice's "you can make money with your fingers".

On the second weekend of the summer solstice, as soon as Pan Lei came home, Pan's mother had already escorted her to find Xia Zhi to "learn to submit", Pan Lei was very shy, saying that the text was not brought back, so it was delayed until this weekend.

After lunch this Saturday, Pan's mother led Pan Lei up to find the summer solstice again, and this time Pan Lei had a composition text in her hand.

Pan Lei squirmed and shook off Pan's mother's hand on her shoulder: "Sister Xia Zhi is busy, I'll come back later." ”

I only met once a week, Pan Lei didn't actually say a few words to Xia Zhi, and she felt uncomfortable with Pan's mother's proposal, and it was difficult to disobey.

Xia Zhi turned around from the computer screen and smiled, "It's okay, I'm just taking a break." We went out and sat and watched. ”

Xia Zhi and Pan Lei went to the living room on the third floor to sit, Xia Zhi looked through Pan Lei's composition, and Pan's mother sat next to her with an expectant face. Pan Lei had a trace of expectation and trepidation written on her face, and she was very impatient with Pan's mother's exaggerated performance.

Xia Zhi read a few articles, it is a very ordinary student composition, the choice of words and sentences is still smooth, the basic structure and techniques are used like cramming, the idea is very popular, and the innovation is lacking.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of student work, and it is very suitable as a model essay for other students to imitate, but it is not amazing.

Xia Zhi raised her head from the notebook, one old and one young with four eyes waiting for her to speak, and she didn't know where to start. Pan's mother doesn't need to say it, does Pan Lei also feel that her essay has a chance to be published?

She had a little headache, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she thought about it before saying: "It's okay to write articles, but these are all proposition essays of the school, and general journals will not be published. ”

Pan's mother hurriedly said, "Then you teach Pan Lei to vote!" ”

Pan Leinu pursed her mouth and said, "Mom, are you annoyed?" Why don't you go to TV? You are here, how can Sister Xia Zhi teach me? ”

Pan's mother frowned as if she had nibbled on a sour plum: "I'll just take a look, and I'll learn it too." ”

Pan Lei said angrily: "Then you learn, I won't learn!" ”

"Okay, okay! Shall I go down? You study hard, learn well, like your sister Zhi, you can make money. Pan's mother muttered downstairs, and Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I bought some student publications, you can read them first." There is no newsstand in the town, and the only post office has a limited number of magazines, which Xia Zhi bought on the way to the county seat yesterday for an interview.

Pan Lei flipped through the three magazines that Xia Zhi took out, pointed to one of them and shouted, "We also have classmates reading this!" ”

In fact, these are three magazines with completely different styles, "Boys and Girls" is more fashionable and lively, "Middle School Campus" is more academic, and "Juvenile Literary Collection" is more literary. It's a relatively old-fashioned student magazine, and Xia Zhi submitted articles to it when he was in middle school.

"Well, yes, the sales of "Boys and Girls" are relatively high, but the style of the manuscript is relatively strong, and more emphasis is placed on creativity, which is not very good." Xia Zhi faced Pan Lei, and he was not so timid when he introduced it. She didn't want to give the little girl hope and let her fall, preferring to tell the truth in the first place.

Pan Lei narrowed her eyes and smiled embarrassedly: "Sister Xia Zhi, I know, there are classmates in our class who are better at writing essays than me who have submitted manuscripts, but none of them have been published, how can it be so easy." I'm in the middle of the class, where can I do it? You don't care about my mother, she doesn't understand anything, she just talks nonsense there. ”

Hearing that Pan Lei's words were so clear, not as unreasonable as Pan's mother, Xia Zhi was relieved, and turned to relief: "It's not completely impossible, don't be discouraged." Of the three publications, "Secondary School Campus" may be easier to publish, and it has a section dedicated to student assignments. But if you really want to get published, you have to polish the manuscript well. ”

Xia Zhi flipped through Pan Lei's composition, turned to the best one she had just seen, and carefully reviewed it with a pencil, telling her how to deal with the details in these places while criticizing was more impressive, Pan Lei listened seriously.

After the review, Xia Zhi said: "The skills of writing are accumulated little by little, and if you write more, the skills will be internalized into experience." It is not necessarily for the sake of publication, but the writing ability has improved, and it is also helpful for study or future work.

"In school, a teacher is facing a class of students, and the guidance can only be extensive, if you really want to learn, I will take time to help you correct your composition every weekend in the future. My level may not be better than your teacher, but one-on-one guidance still has an advantage. If there's a good one, how about we try to submit it? ”
