The process of mimeographing the test paper is very simple, first of all, you need to be stereotyped, that is, to engrave wax paper, this process needs to be very careful, and mistakes will be made if you are not careful, such as the carving knife piercing the wax paper, or the words are wrong.

After carving the stencil on wax paper, the next step is to take it for mimeographing.

The mimeographing process is also very simple, with a roll, a press, and a brush, and a copy is completed.

A skilled worker can easily mimeograph all the test papers in just one day.

Of course, the premise is that you must be a journeyman, and if you've never done anything like it, that's a different story.

"Teacher Zhang! In that case, then you are busy, I'll go first! ”

He Yun smiled and turned to leave.

…………

In the town, He Yun once again came to the post office.

Of course, he came here this time, not just to send the improved "Dream of the Future".

He also had to ask the post office for the contact information of the Science Fiction World magazine publishing house.

After all, this is not the Internet era of the future, as long as you know how to surf the Internet, you can search for the address and contact information on the magazine with a casual search.

It's 1985, not to mention the Internet, even phone calls are scarce.

If he wants to get the contact information of the magazine publishing house, he thinks the most reliable way is, of course, to find the post office.

Sure enough, as soon as He Yun asked, he really asked!

Although there are very few people in the countryside who subscribe to this magazine, there is also a post office above the post office, and the whole system is interconnected.

Of course, this is mainly because He Yun is now a celebrity in the town, after all, is it a great writer! This bit of "face" is still given by others.

After asking for the magazine's submission address, he immediately bought the envelope and stamps, and sent the manuscript of "Future Dreams".

After sending the letter, He Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He calmed down, calmed down, took out a remittance slip from his pocket, took out the two hundred and twenty yuan on it, and deposited it in the passbook he had brought.

Looking at the "seven hundred and thirty-seven yuan, five cents and seven cents" clearly written on it, He Yun smiled wryly.

More than 700 yuan, put it now, it is indeed a lot of money, but if it is put in 30 years, it will be a matter of one meal.

…………

After dog days, the weather gradually cooled down.

In November of the Gregorian calendar, it is the harvest period of late rice in Hunan Province.

Perhaps because of the fact that the exam will be held next week, the school has deliberately given two days off.

He Yun also took advantage of the two-day holiday to return home and help his family harvest late rice.

Since the first two years of the contract, each household in the village has been allocated their own land according to the size of the population.

He Yun is naturally no exception, and under his name, he also has land.

It's just that he eats public meals now, so he gave this land to his second brother to plant.

Of course, every year, his second brother Hede will give him 300 catties of grain per mu as compensation, and he now has a total of 2 acres and 3 points of land in his name, so in this way, he can get about 700 catties of grain from his second brother every year.

And among the more than 700 catties of grain, except for a small part for his own food, basically, he gave it to his parents.

As for considering selling!

This idea can only be thought of at the moment!

The reason is simple!

Because you can't sell at all!

Now is not the future generation, the state has not opened up the free trade of the grain market at all, and everyone will at most trade secretly in private.

But this is very risky, and if you are caught, you will go to jail.

What's more, in today's paddy fields, the yield per mu of rice planted is far from reaching the height of later generations, and the yield per mu of rice in one season is 1,000 catties, that is, 500 kilograms, which is considered an extremely high yield.

Hunan Province has a subtropical monsoon climate, and rice can be planted twice a year, which is commonly known as "early rice" and "late rice".

That is to say, everyone grows two seasons of rice a year, and if you do long, you can only achieve a yield of 2,000 catties per mu.

But in fact, the rice fields of each household cannot produce 1,000 catties per mu at all, and they are often 6 or 700 catties.

If calculated according to an average of 700 catties per mu, it will be 1,400 catties a year, and after paying the public grain, and then use the grain to pay off part of the foreign debts owed, and the rest, your own family can only barely eat.

The situation in He Yun's family is naturally similar to this.

His eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are all married, and there are naturally more people in the family, and they live on this bit of land at home all year round, so how can they have extra food for their parents.

And although his parents also have land in their names, now his sixth sister He Xiaolian and fifth sister He Ying are in school, and they need a lot of money.

As the only man in the family who eats public food and has not yet started a family, He Yun naturally has to take out some money to help his parents support this large family.

…………

In the evening, He Yun, who had been cutting rice for a day, was already exhausted, and his shoulders, hands, calf and thigh muscles were sore.

During dinner, He Yun looked at the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother who came to help, and then looked at the fifth sister He Ying and the sixth sister He Xiaolian who were sitting on the side, and then took out the passbook from his pocket.

"Dad! Mother! You keep this passbook! Treat it as if I honor you! ”

He Yun said, put the passbook on the table, and put it in front of his mother Gong Yue.

"Passbook? You kid! What is this for? What do I want your passbook for! You're not married yet! Even if I want, I can only keep it for you temporarily, just when you will use the money for your future marriage! ”

"Your mom is right! You have just been demobilized and returned to your hometown, and you haven't been paid for a few months, and you have paid us all the money you have paid off our foreign debts, so you should keep the money yourself, keep it well! Just don't mess around! At this time, He Yun's father, He Donglei, also echoed on the side.

"Dad! It's okay! I sent me a few days ago for this month's manuscript fee, and I took it out and put it in this passbook! Plus the rest, a total of more than 700 yuan, I will give it to you! The fifth and sixth sisters need money to go to school, and the family also needs to buy daily necessities and teach public food, which may be used! ”

"As for myself! I still have a salary! I now have a double paycheck! It's more than 60 a month, and I still have a manuscript fee! It simply doesn't take so much! ”

As soon as He Yun's words came out, he immediately made his eldest brother, second brother, and third brother present very embarrassed.

As the youngest son in the family, he is not married yet, but he has taken on the responsibility of supporting his parents as an elder brother for several of them, how do you say they are not ashamed!

But it can't be helped! They are now married, and although the family does not owe any foreign debts, they have to support their wives and children, so naturally they have no money to honor their parents.
