After the manuscript was mailed, Li Zhongxin's slightly restless heart calmed down.

As usual, he went to bed early and got up early, but there was one more item than before, that is, morning exercises.

As the saying goes, a good body starts with a doll.

In later generations, Li Zhongxin's health was not very good, and when he was in his forties, he already had several signs of chronic diseases.

After being reborn, he naturally had to pay attention to his body, and he felt that if he could do planned exercises in the early stage, his body would gradually get better in the future.

There are few people, the air is good, it is a good time to exercise, and when I return home after half an hour of exercise, the breakfast made by my grandmother is basically good.

Breakfast is almost a pot of steamed dry food in a pot, a pot of cornmeal porridge, plus two small pickles, and occasionally salted eggs can be seen on the dinner table.

For a few days, Li Zhongxin finished breakfast, like an early bird, and flew to school early.

A few days ago, Li Zhongxin took up the time after class, and his parents did not go home after school, rushed out the manuscript and mailed it, and he had to get a reply as soon as possible.

Li Zhongxin is a primary school student, and the letter mailed to the school must be written in his mother's name, Wang Yaqing, if he does not arrive at school early every morning, and the letter is discovered by Wang Yaqing, then his hard work will be in vain.

The mother of a party member with a strong sense of principle, she would never allow Li Zhongxin to have such a large sum of money at this age.

It was only after getting up four days early in the morning that Li Zhongxin received ordinary letters from the editorial departments of "Story Club" and "China Youth" respectively.

After reading the contents of the ordinary letter and the bill of exchange sandwiched inside, Li Zhongxin's immature face bloomed into a small flower.

As soon as the lunch break came, Li Zhongxin didn't eat, and rushed out of the school with a jolt.

I got on the bus at the third-line station of the coal machinery factory, bought a one-centimeter-wide and finger-long bus ticket for a dime, and took the antique-like milky white third-line bus directly to the Jiangcheng Post Office.

Jiangcheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau is located in the most central location of Jiangcheng, opposite the most prosperous department store and the first food store in Jiangcheng, even in later generations, the post office is still in the most prosperous place in Jiangcheng without any changes.

The Jiangcheng Post Office was known as the Great Post Office in '82, and the post offices in other places.

The big post office can be regarded as one of the best buildings in Jiangcheng at that time, with three floors in the upper middle and lower floors, the appearance is the kind that has just become popular, and the exterior wall is the most fashionable building with granite pasted on the cement surface.

Jiangcheng Post Office several large green fonts, is fixed to the top of the three-story building with steel bars, so that people can see from a distance, and it is such a reason that Jiangcheng Post Office was praised by Jiangcheng people as one of the most bullish units at that time.

The top floor of the large post office is the office of the post office leaders and some department staff, and the lower two floors are the business halls of the post office.

The hall on the first floor is open to the people of the whole river city, and the hall is divided into several parts.

The busiest of these are the collection of letters and parcels, and the counters that occupy the largest positions in the post office.

In '82, it was possible to send letters directly to the big post office, or to the post office, or even to the mailbox of the post on every road, but that's it! Going to the big post office is the fastest one, because there is no link for the postman to deliver the letter and pick up the letter.

At that time, letters and parcels were generally transported by train, and sometimes a letter could be mailed in the big post office and put into the post box for several days, as long as there was time or people whose homes were close to the big post office, they would generally choose to go to the big post office to handle these things.

Among them, registered mail and ordinary mail are separated, and people who are in a hurry will choose to use registered mail if they say something unclear in the telegram.

The place where the parcel is collected is even more crowded, and the queue can be lined up for more than ten meters, which is still because there are four counters dedicated to collecting and processing parcels.

There are several telephones next to the parcels, of which there are five telephones for local calls, and three telephones, two of which are capable of making national calls and one for international calls.

The two national long-distance telephones can be said to be the busiest, many people need to wait in line there, at this time, want to make a domestic long-distance call to relatives in the field, it is definitely a very luxurious thing.

There is basically no telephone in an individual's home, and the call can only be made to the unit, as for whether the unit can find someone to convey, or that the unit phone is far away from the location of the person, the possibility of finding someone is not great.

If you are in a hurry, you will tell the person in the mailroom or the person who answers the phone to convey it, and if you forget it, you will not be notified of important things.

The place to take remittances is on the second floor of the post office by the two counters inside, this time is still the time when there are more remittances, after all, nothing is sound, that is, the bank does not have the function of transferring money, many businesses are jointly organized with the post office, and the legendary business of later generations should not be thought about at this time.

The amount of money withdrawn by Li Zhongxin is very large, there are two in total, the first one is sent to Li Zhongxin by "Story Club", it is eleven yuan and four dimes, after all, the two short stories are only more than 1,000 words in total.

The other is the manuscript fee given to Li Zhongxin by the "China Youth" Publishing House, which is slightly more, 120 yuan.

In the 80s, there were not many articles that could write a sense of age and the feeling of youth dancing and flying in the youthful age, and when Li Zhongxin received this remittance form, he also received a follow-up letter from "Chinese Youth", which clearly stated that if he could continue to write this kind of article of the new generation, the publishing house would raise the manuscript fee of 25 words per 1,000 words to 40 to 50 for 1,000 words, which can be said to be a high price in the early 80s.

When Li Zhongxin went to the post office to withdraw money, he had already calculated what to do, and Aunt Xie Shen Chunhua, who was across the road from his house, was in charge of handling the remittance and withdrawal business at the post office.

The two sons of the old Xie family, one is named Xie Yinshan, a student in his mother's class, and the other is called Xie Yinhai, who has a good relationship with Li Zhongxin, who went to Xie's house to play when he was a child.

He knew in his heart that if he didn't find Aunt Xie, who worked at the post office, he would not be able to withdraw so much money with his age.

One hundred and thirty-one dimes may not be enough for a meal in later generations, but at this time, it was the early eighties, and many adults would not have such a large sum of money in their hands.

Looking at the remittance bill that Li Zhongxin gave her, the strangeness on Shen Chunhua's slightly chubby and round face has not disappeared.

The third-grade child went to the post office to withdraw more than 100 yuan, and there was no parent to follow him, which was a big joke.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Chunhua and Li Zhongxin's parents knew each other, and saw with their own eyes that the postal address was indeed Jiangcheng No. 26 Primary School, and it was transferred by Wang Yaqing to Li Zhongxin, Shen Chunhua would not have believed that a ten-year-old child like Li Zhongxin could have such a large sum of money.

Shen Chunhua checked the letters that Li Zhongxin showed him, and she quickly determined that his identity was a reasonable withdrawal, but she didn't want to give the money to Li Zhongxin, but wanted to help him get the money back and give it directly to his mother Wang Yaqing.

Li Zhongxin's language was very good, and he pleaded repeatedly, and after discussing during the lunch break, Shen Chunhua finally agreed to give Li Zhongxin the one hundred and thirty-one four dimes, and she also promised to come down and keep this secret for him for the time being.

I have money in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart. After putting the huge sum of 131 and 4 dimes into his pocket, Li Zhongxin returned to his normal state as a primary school student, and began to get a diary every day to write and draw to record some things that he could recall.
