There was a small page in the newspaper with an introduction to the essay contest for this year's magazine. This year's literary magazine is called Contemporary.

People may not know much about it now, but for Jiang Yulou, who has been relived for a lifetime, he knows too well the status of "Contemporary" literary magazine in China.

The late 70s and early 80s were the third golden period for domestic literary periodicals after the late Qing Dynasty and the twenties and thirties. It is also the period when domestic writers are most enthusiastic, the most active in exploration, and the most brilliant in their achievements, and it is also a brilliant time for literary journals.

After the turmoil of the past few years, the people's thirst for knowledge has never been greater, so there are a large number of literary publications, led by Contemporary.

"Contemporary", "October", "Flower City", "Harvest" and "Zhongshan" basically shined in the 80s.

These literary periodicals greatly satisfied the people's inner spiritual needs, and at their peak, they often sold more than one million copies. You know, this is a literary magazine, and it is simply unthinkable in the future.

Jiang Yulou's expression moved, he was a bookseller in his previous life, and he liked to read, so he didn't know how many literary masterpieces he had read and excellent novels at home and abroad.

The 80s and 90s were the spring of domestic literary creators.

In this era when the workers and peasants were generally not wealthy, literary creators could not only meet the needs of food and clothing, but also live a prosperous life with their own pens, and even had a high social status.

In this case, why can't he take the opportunity of the inaugural issue of "Contemporary" to participate in the essay contest and then soar to the sky?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yulou's heart was hot, and he hurriedly grabbed the newspaper and read it carefully.

After reading the inaugural statement, he saw the specific submissions.

"Contemporary" welcomes the majority of writers and literature lovers to contribute, the manuscript has been approved, and the author will be given a remuneration of 2 yuan to 7 yuan per thousand words.

1,000 words range from 2 yuan to 7 yuan.

According to the standard of 100,000-word novels, the minimum remuneration is 200 yuan, and the maximum remuneration is 700 yuan.

700 yuan, isn't that enough to change the status quo?

In this era, an ordinary worker's salary can reach more than 40 yuan, which is considered a medium and high income, whether it is 200 yuan or 700 yuan, which is enough to be called a huge amount of money for ordinary people in this era.

Not only yourself, but also your family can live a better life.

At this time, a girl in tattered clothes walked up to his desk and said timidly: "That, classmate Jiang, there is no one next to you, can I sit at the same table with you?" ”

Jiang Yulou raised his head, and what caught his eye was a girl who was dressed in tatters, but with a pretty appearance.

Tang Yuewen, his first love.

He has always liked this girl, but because his family is poor, he has never dared to confess.

It wasn't until he graduated from high school that he knew that Tang Yuewen also liked him.

However, because of the special family conditions of the Tang family, he was afraid that it would affect Jiang Yulou's future, so he left without saying goodbye after confessing to him.

When she learned the news again, Tang Yuewen had already died.

In his memory, Tang Yuewen's father was labeled as a rightist, criticized and imprisoned in the cowshed, and because of this, Tang Yuewen's family had a very hard life, even if she was outstanding, there were no classmates who were willing to contact her.

Jiang Yulou was the only student in the class who was willing to talk to her.

Therefore, although the two occasionally communicated, Tang Yuewen's proposal to sit at a table with him was the first time in the world.

In my previous life, nothing like this had happened. Don't...... Is it the butterfly effect?

He looked up, and sure enough, the table was almost full.

Even if there are empty seats at other tables, Tang Yuewen will be rejected.

Immediately, I couldn't help but feel unbearable for a while, but I also had some doubts.

In the past, Tang Yuewen was the last to come to eat, and at that time, there was no one in the cafeteria, today, what's wrong?

Jiang Yulou's eyes were warm, and he said softly: "There is no one here, classmate Tang, you can sit down." ”

Tang Yuewen looked slight, shyly put the lunch box on the table, and then carefully sat opposite Jiang Yulou.

Tang Yuewen eats the same thing as him, the same dishes without meat and multigrain steamed buns.

Although she was dressed in tatters and had a vegetable on her face, she did not have that unpleasant smell on her body, but had the fragrance of a girl.

Jiang Yulou felt that Tang Yuewen was the most beautiful girl in the class, and even one of the best in this small county. It's only because of her tattered clothes and her own background that everyone doesn't notice this.

Or maybe it's not that they don't know, and even if they do, they don't want to have anything to do with her.

As a student with a problem with a family background, if you want to make friends, it will cause them trouble.

How could they be willing?

Therefore, compared with Tang Yuewen, who has the same complex composition, makes friends, the male classmates in the class are more willing to give hospitality to some "foreign girls".

"Foreign girls" are girls from the city, their families are relatively wealthy, and their dress is very different from that of their tattered rural students.

And because of their good nutrition, even if they look average, they are full of youthful air that is completely incomparable to those rural girls.

These "foreign girls" can be said to be very attractive to boys from the countryside. In their eyes, the daughters of the working families in the city seem to be fairies.

If any boy can make friends with "foreign girls", he will immediately become the envy of other boys in the class.

Of course, adolescent boys and girls don't know this kind of thing, and it is because they understand that they are more passionate. Alas, they are all at the age of knowing Mu Shaoai, who hasn't experienced it?

After Tang Yuewen sat down, she found the newspaper in Jiang Yulou's hand, and the assassin looked at Jiang Yulou shyly, his eyes couldn't hide his curiosity about the content of the newspaper he was reading at this time.

"Mr. Jiang, what are you looking at?"

She has a good impression of Jiang Yulou, and she naturally pays attention to it a lot.

In her memory, Jiang Yulou always gobbled up her meals and never wasted a minute, but what happened today?

"Oh, you say the newspaper? Actually, it's nothing, it's just that a new literary magazine has been established, and it is soliciting contributions from literary creators and enthusiasts from all over the country. ”

It's no secret either, Jiang Yulou told her honestly.

What's more, it's a really great opportunity.

If Tang Yuewen has a talent for writing, it is really possible to change her destiny through this.

After being born again, he had two wishes.

One is to change the conditions of the family by their own efforts and let the family live a prosperous life as soon as possible.

In his previous life, he was a little late in getting rich, and his son wanted to raise him but he didn't wait for his relatives.

In this life, he naturally didn't want that kind of thing to happen again.

The second wish is naturally the relationship with Tang Yuewen.

In this life, he will be the first to confess to Tang Yuewen, and keep her, so that the tragedy of eternal separation between heaven and man can no longer happen.

Two lovers who already like each other should be together.

Tang Yuewen's eyes were full of surprise, and it was the first time that a literary magazine was soliciting articles from all over the country.

She couldn't care about being reserved and shy, and hurriedly asked, "Classmate Jiang, can anyone submit articles to that magazine?" ”

Tang Yuewen also likes to read books and writes some things. It's just that, due to her family background, she secretly hid those things after she finished writing. If there is no background limit to this literary magazine, can she also try to submit it?

Thinking of this, she looked at Jiang Yulou with worry and expectation.

Jiang Yulou glanced at her unexpectedly, "That's right, anyone can contribute, does classmate Tang also write on weekdays?" ”

If so, he is going to change his opinion of Tang Yuewen again.

In her previous life, Tang Yuewen had never shown interest in writing.

He can also understand that at that time, Tang Yuewen was too low-key, and it can be said that she was not noticeable.

Tang Yuewen mixed the fingers of her two hands together, glanced at him, lowered her head again, and said timidly: "I'm very interested." ”

"Oh, that's right." Jiang Yulou nodded, and then said, "If you are really interested, you can try to submit articles to the editorial department of Contemporary." If your work can be listed in "Contemporary", there will be a very considerable income. ”

"Thank you." Tang Yuewen said gratefully.
