Chapter Eighty-Four: Oops! I think I'm saying the wrong thing?
The process of revision, to be honest, is actually very difficult.
After all, you've written everything you can think of into the novel before, and now you have to revise it a little bit.
And this revision is not only a revision of minor issues such as typos and language rhetoric, but also many small plots that need to be revised.
The revision of these circumstances often needs to be considered and reconsidered.
Just as Mr. Jin Yong revised his works several times, He Yun also needs to ponder for a long time about every plot that needs to be revised before he can come up with the most reasonable revision plan.
Fortunately, there are not many of these plots that need to be revised, and after synthesizing the opinions of these readers' letters, it took him two days to revise "Fanghua".
After all, "Fanghua" has only more than 77,000 words in total, and the revised version of "Fanghua" has only added more than 4,000 words, and the increased number of words is basically used for some plot supplements and plot adjustments.
Of course, the cut-out plot is also inevitable, but overall, the word count of the whole novel does not increase much.
After revising the original manuscript, He Yun found a stack of letter paper and began to transcribe the new draft.
And this transcription, another week has passed.
He Yun spends eight to ten hours a day transcribing the original manuscript.
In the end, my hands were almost useless!
He really wants to have a computer to write now.
But the problem is that now in China, even if you have money, you can hardly get a computer, not to mention that he has no money, after all, this thing costs at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, which is not something he can afford at all.
Moreover, there is no pinyin input method nowadays, and typing is even more difficult for him.
"It's finally transcribed, it's really not easy, my hands are cramping!"
He Yun muttered quietly, closed the cap of the pen, and then, after putting down the pen and sorting out the manuscript, he took the manuscript and prepared to go to the town to send the manuscript back to the magazine Contemporary.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Town, post office.
As soon as He Yun came out of it, he patted his forehead and suddenly remembered something.
He hurriedly turned around, went back to the post office, asked the staff for a few questions, and sure enough, this time there was a letter from him.
This letter was sent from Yincheng City, and the sender was none other than Gao Yunyan.
This time, He Yun did not hesitate, he tore open the letter in his hand directly outside the post office, and then checked it on the spot.
In a few minutes, he read the letter.
After reading the letter, he frowned and looked serious.
After a while, he suddenly sighed, and stuffed the letter into his jacket pocket along with the envelope, and then he rode on the 28 bar and went straight home.
After returning home, he stuffed the letter into a drawer and opened the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" on the table.
He decided to change his previous reading plan, shorten the time to read historical materials, and after reading this "Bamboo Book Chronicle", he did not plan to read other historical materials.
Previously, he had already read both "Historical Records" and "Warring States Policy", and "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period" and "Zizhi Tongjian" also read some of the most needed chapters.
As for this "Bamboo Book Chronicle", he only plans to spend most of the day selecting some chapters that are useful to him and stop reading them.
After reading it, he was ready to start writing "Qin Shi Mingyue's Sweep of the Six Kingdoms".
And the reason why he suddenly made such a decision is simple!
It was because of this letter that came suddenly.
In the envelope of this letter, in addition to Gao Yunyan's own composition, there is also a reply letter.
In the letter, she told He Yun that her father, also known as Gao Lao, was going to be transferred.
He will be transferred back to the provincial capital next year to become a professor of history at a university.
To be honest, this news was too sudden for He Yun!
However, he was still sincerely happy for Elder Gao.
After so many years, the bitterness has finally come!
For this reason, he suddenly decided to read these history books as soon as possible, and then return them to him.
Of course, while returning the book to him, He Yun was also ready to drop him off early.
After all, as soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passes, after the seventh day of the first lunar month, he will return to the provincial capital.
And now it's the twenty-fifth of the month, and in a few days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve.
If he doesn't return the book, I'm afraid he will have to wait a long time before he can go to the provincial capital to return the book.
So early the next morning, He Yun got up early, took the book, went out, and walked straight to the town.
But at this moment, snow suddenly fell in the sky.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier!
He Yun was carrying a box of books and couldn't help but shudder.
He withstood the bitter cold wind, wrapped the cotton clothes on his body tightly, and the cotton military hat and ear protectors on his head were quickly folded, and then accelerated his pace.
Fortunately, the ship from the town's dock to the city was not suspended, and He Yun got on the boat smoothly.
When he came to the city and county office, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time, his body was already frozen.
When he walked to the door of the office of the senior of the county office, he saw that the door was slightly hidden, so he knocked lightly.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Come in......!" In the office, the voice of the elder Gao came.
He Yun then pushed the door and walked in.
"Elder Gao, I'm here to return the book to you!"
"It's Xiao He! Sit down, I still have a little thing to finish here, there are cups and thermos on the table, I won't pour water for you! Elder Gao raised his head, glanced at He Yun, and said a word, and then he lowered his head again.
Regarding He Yun's arrival, he seemed to be as calm as water as usual, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face.
"It's okay, Elder Gao, I'll just do it myself!" As he spoke, He Yun smiled, immediately took the empty cup and hot water bottle, and poured himself a cup of hot boiled water.
He took two heavy sips, and his frozen body warmed up at once.
At this time, Elder Gao seemed to be busy, he put down the pen in his hand, looked at He Yun and asked, "Have you finished reading these books?" Is it so fast? β
"There are a few books that I haven't finished reading, but I have basically finished reading the chapters I need to read, and I have made special notes, so I sent them to you before you returned to the provincial capital?"
As soon as He Yun said this, Gao Lao was obviously stunned, he pondered for a moment, and immediately questioned He Yundao: "You just said that I want to go back to the provincial capital?" How do you know this? I don't think I told you about it last time, right? β
Seeing the puzzled expression on Elder Gao's face, He Yun immediately replied: "It was revealed to me by your daughter when she wrote the letter, and after I received the letter, I rushed over immediately to ......!" β
It's just that before He Yun's words fell, Elder Gao's face suddenly changed.
Seeing this, He Yun immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.
So, he was about to say something to make amends, but was interrupted by Gao Lao: "She is communicating with you?" When was this? β
"Uh...... You don't know? β
