66. Publishing
The manuscript of more than 3,000 words was written on the evening of the summer solstice, and the revised manuscript was sent to the editor in advance on Monday morning, and it passed the review smoothly.
The manuscript fee will not come out until next month, about more than 300, and Xia Zhi is already very satisfied and more confident.
She agreed with the editor to find her to write a suitable manuscript next time, and also left a message on QQ to several other magazine editors who knew but were not very familiar with her, indicating the type and style of manuscript she could accept.
Unknowingly, she was busy until noon, and she heard Pan's mother calling her outside the door: "Ah Zhi, eat!" ”
Because of the special name, since she was a child, her parents and friends have called her Xia Zhi by name and surname, Pan's mother is the first to call her, Xia Zhi listened to the intimate and weird, she answered the sentence and went downstairs immediately.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Pan Rui had already gone out to work, and today she and the second elder of the Pan family had dinner together. She was a little apprehensive and didn't know what to say at the dinner table.
At home, she and Xia Jianfeng He Yan often eat without saying anything after a meal, but it doesn't seem polite to do this here.
However, her worries are unnecessary, Pan's mother is a topic producer herself, as soon as she sat down, Pan's mother said: "Ah Rui said that you are very good at typing!" He said you hit all night. ”
"Uh, yes, I was writing last night."
"What did you write that for?"
Pan Rui teased her curiosity, obviously her fucking curiosity is not small! Xia Zhi explained: "I know a magazine editor, I write for her, she publishes, and I collect the manuscript fee. That's it. ”
"Oh, can you get in the magazine? Can you still make money like this? Pan's mother's eyes lit up, "How much can you earn?" ”
"Hmm...... I wrote that article last night, about 300 yuan. When she was at home during the summer solstice and Spring Festival, she was very annoyed by relatives who asked about income, but she still answered honestly.
"So much? Then you're making 300 a day! ”
Xia Zhi hurriedly said: "This kind of manuscript is not available every day, and there are generally requirements, sometimes you have to find a lot of information to write one, and it is impossible to write one in a day." And it also has to be well written, and the editor will adopt it if he likes it. ”
"Oh, that's still pretty good!" Pan's mother nodded, and said, "That is, you have to write well to make money, right?" ”
"Hmm...... You can say the same thing...... "Even so, it seems that he is praising himself in disguise."
Pan's mother said on a whim: "Then can you see if my Ah Lei's essay can be sold for money?" She also likes to study liberal arts, and her essays are so good that she is always read by teachers in composition classes. ”
The summer solstice is speechless, and a good writing of class assignments does not mean that it can be published! She also went to the middle school for an internship in the first semester of her senior year, and many children's essays are in the imitation stage, and occasionally there are good ones, and they are just a seedling, far from the standard of the publication.
However, in order not to disappoint Pan's mother, and also to be polite, Xia Zhi said: "I'll show her when she comes back on the weekend, there are some publications specifically for middle school students." ”
Pan's mother was very happy to hear it, and what she said next made Xia Zhi feel a little out of control: "Then you see, Ah Lei has to write more than a dozen essays this semester!" Can it be sold for five or six thousand? ”
Xia Solstice almost sprayed rice: "Huh...... This is not necessarily, not every essay can be published, it depends on whether the editor will send it, and even if it is sent, it is also calculated according to the number of words. ”
The book she sent was a fashion magazine, with a lot of advertisements, and the manuscript fee was generous in the industry. She hasn't seen what level Pan Lei writes, where can she guarantee that she can help her publish?
After thinking about it, she added: "I have also written for many years, and I have more writing experience, so I slowly began to send some drafts. ”
Xia Zhi's words didn't completely break Pan's mother's fantasy, but they finally brought her back to reality a little, and she said, "Oh, that's it...... Those dozens of pieces are also good. You just teach her, see how to write and send, you didn't have anyone to teach you before, and now she is taught by someone to definitely be different. ”
"Well, I'll do my best. Ah Lei is so smart, she must be able to learn well if she studies hard. However, she is now in her third year of junior high school, and she will soon take the high school entrance examination, so let's focus on studying, writing can be a hobby after class, and there is no hurry. ”
Speaking of which, this is still Pan's mother's wishful thinking, whether Pan Lei is willing to say something else, Xia Zhi deliberately put forward the importance of studying, and it will really not be published at that time, and there is also a prevarication.
They said something else piecemeal, but after the meal, Pan's mother still didn't let Xia Zhi wash the dishes, and she didn't grab it, so as not to see the chopping board and be disgusting, out of sight. She said "hard work" and went upstairs to continue reading the webpage.
After sitting in front of the computer for less than an hour, I felt that my stomach was falling and my eyelids were fighting, so Xia Zhi climbed into bed. Falling asleep, a hot current in her lower abdomen dragged her out of her dream, and she hurriedly went to the bathroom to put on a sanitary napkin.
The two layers of pants were also dyed red, but she was so weak that she didn't want to wash them, so she soaked them in a bucket with water first.
Counting the days, it seems to be four or five days earlier, and recently it has started to be a little disordered again. There was the last ibuprofen left, she ate it and lay down on the bed to call Pan Rui, asking him to bring a box when he came back from work, and then fell asleep again.
She slept until six o'clock, and Pan Rui woke her up when she got home: "Pig, get up." ”
Xia Zhi rubbed his eyes, stretched on the bed, and put his hand on Pan Rui's close face: "Are you back?" ”
"No, you're dreaming." Pan Rui smiled.
"You're dreaming...... Where's my medicine? ”
Pan raised his eyebrows: "Oops, I forgot ......"
"Did you forget?"
"I forgot ......"
"Okay, then I'll buy it myself." After an afternoon of sleep, she is in good shape now. The biggest advantage of not going to work is that you don't have to endure the pain when you have menstrual pain.
"I'll buy it for you."
"Let's go together, I'll go out for a walk."
Xia Zhi got up and changed his clothes, and when the two went downstairs, Pan's mother chased out of the staircase: "Eat!" Where are you going? ”
Pan Rui turned around and said, "Let's go buy something and come back soon." ”
"What to buy?"
Pan Rui said a few words in dialect, and Pan's mother waved her hand with a clear face and said, "No, no, your father is almost home, I told him, let him take it, don't run out after eating." ”
Pan Rui glanced at Xia Zhi and asked for her opinion. What else can Xia Zhi have any opinions, Pan's mother said so, she nodded, and returned to the second floor with Pan Rui to watch TV, waiting for the meal.
