She recently had the inspiration for a long story, and she simply stopped writing a thousand-word essay for youth stories, and concentrated on writing this long story.

The long-form magazine also wrote back before that the story she wrote was very much in line with their style, and if the next submission could maintain this high quality, their magazine would definitely accept it.

Zhou Yunmeng was confident in the articles he wrote, so he simply devoted himself to the long story.

Of course, it's not the kind that is written in a row of crazy things.

She writes down the ideas that keep coming up, and then lays the outline along the way, and the initial framework of the long story is settled.

After that, you just need to write the story with skillful writing skills and writing, and just add flesh and bones.

When he was in a good state, Zhou Yunmeng got up in the morning and sat in front of the room after breakfast, and wrote for an hour.

After waking up in the afternoon, I went outside to pour a glass of warm water back to the room to drink, and after the whole person was clear, she went into the supermarket and blew down the air conditioner, and the whole person cooled down, so she took the pen and continued to write the story.

It took about an hour to write.

Because she had been writing in the room for a long time, she would call for camellia to accompany her in the yard after dinner in the evening.

If the sunset is beautiful one day, the two of them will go directly to the field, and the evening breeze is also very comfortable.

Camellia is a very well-behaved child, so he loves to follow the third aunt and shout wherever he goes.

She privately followed the third aunt to learn to read and memorize poems, and she could vaguely appreciate the beauty of the sunset.

Half a month passed in a flash, and it was the day when Zhou Yunmeng was going to enter the county seat.

The fish, mung beans, and white sugar at home are almost consumed, and it is estimated that the situation is the same on the Zhou family's side.

The inspirational story has also been completed, with about 18,000 words.

Zhou Yunmeng was very satisfied.

Since I wore the book, the length of the articles like submitting youth stories is about more than 1,000 words, and I can write five or six articles every half a month, which is highly productive.

Under normal conditions, it is four or five.

It is only when you write a long story that you can be so productive in half a month.

Thinking of the manuscript fee he could get after being accepted, it was enough for him to lie down for a while, and Zhou Yunmeng felt that the effort of half a month was worth it.

Pinching what Rao Xiaoqing said last time, when her mother-in-law was resting at home, Zhou Yunmeng carried a basket on her back, carried a package, and rode a bicycle to the county seat.

When she went to the post office first, Xu Xiaoying greeted her with a smile on her face.

Zhou Yunmeng asked: "Good morning Xiaoying, looking at your happy appearance, is there good news about the division of the house?" ”

Xu Xiaoying's smile became even brighter when she heard this, and she nodded again and again: "Sure enough, Yunmeng, you know me best, I just had the good news a few days ago, and I have been happy for the past few days." I wanted to tell you the good news when I saw you coming, but before I could say it, you already guessed it. ”

Zhou Yunmeng was also happy for her: "Congratulations, the house has been assigned, and you can live a pure life as a couple when you go back and settle down." ”

Xu Xiaoying said with a sense of longing: "Yes, the tickets saved before can come in handy, anyway, the two of us discussed buying the things we needed the most first, and those that we didn't have can wait to buy them later." ”

"The quilts and sheets can be moved directly to the new house, even the beds and wardrobes. Let's talk about the sofas and chairs later, just make a wooden board at the dinner table and find a way to support it. ”

"Anyway, my mother said that the little couple will always have to be bitter at the beginning of their life alone, and they will slowly add the things in the house, and this little day will be happy."

Zhou Yunmeng nodded affirmatively: "Yes, we will buy the house that we need to use every day at this stage, and take the rest slowly." Xiaoying, you and your husband have very good ideas, and Auntie is right, good days are in the near future. ”

She took the initiative to say, "I'll go to my classmates to help ask about the iron pot later, and I'll give it to you when I come to send the manuscript half a month later." ”

Xu Xiaoying smiled and nodded: "Okay, Yunmeng, you really helped us a lot, you can save two industrial coupons, thank you so much for coming." ”

Zhou Yunmeng said: "We are good friends, and you have helped me a lot." ”

Xu Xiaoying pointed to the cabinet inside her: "I have also done the fabric for you, and I will bring it to you later." ”

Zhou Yunmeng smiled knowingly: "Okay, then let's deal with the matter of sending the letter first." ”

She took out the envelope in the package and handed it to Xu Xiaoying.

Xu Xiaoying felt the thickness of the envelope in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaomeng, your inspiration has exploded, the envelope sent last month was very thin, and the envelope sent this time is very thick." ”

She chatted, stamping and postmarking on the side of her hand.

Zhou Yunmeng: "Recently, I have been really inspired, and I rested for nearly ten days a while ago, so I simply wrote a long story this time, and the more words I have, the envelope will be thicker." ”

Xu Xiaoying nodded in understanding.

When she processed Yun Meng's letter, and was thinking about changing pork and fabric, Xu Xiaoying suddenly remembered.

"Oh yes, Yunmeng, there was a letter sent to you by the army a few days ago, I took it out for you and put it away, I almost forgot it."

When she talked about the letter from the army, her face was full of fun.

Zhou Yunmeng couldn't change her face for this kind of joke, she took the letter with a smile: "Okay, thank you Xiaoying." ”

Calculating the time, she basically sent a letter to Lin Jinping, and Lin Jinping wrote a reply letter soon after reading it after receiving it.

Putting the letter into the package preciously, Zhou Yunmeng handed the back basket covered with coarse cloth to Xu Xiaoying.

Xu Xiaoying skillfully took it and put it on the ground, and she definitely couldn't see the situation inside from the outside angle.

She took out the two catties of meat from the basket and put them in the bamboo basket she brought.

He took out a package of fabric from the bottom and largest layer of the cabinet and stuffed it into the back basket, then covered it back with a coarse cloth and handed it back to Zhou Yunmeng.

Xu Xiaoying said: "This time my cousin is very powerful, and it just so happens that the textile factory has a new batch of defective cloth, and the condition is not bad." I used to pick and think it was quite suitable, so I changed the fabrics of Yunmeng, your mother and mother-in-law. ”

"For Yunmeng, you picked a peach pink, this color is beautiful and pretty, you must look good when you look white. This fabric is chintz, and it is comfortable to wear as a dress, but there are some uneven prints in the corners, and it is used as a towel when you go back and cut it off. ”

"For the fabric of your mother and mother-in-law, I chose earth gray and earth yellow, and they love to wear this kind of dirt-resistant cloth at this age. The fabric is chinos, which is also comfortable to wear, and there is a part of the middle that is dyed and white, so it is also cut separately. ”

"I bought you twelve feet of cloth in three colors, although it is a little more expensive, but it is definitely enough to cut off those unseemly places, and make autumn clothes."

Xu Xiaoying explained with a smile.

Some people don't care about the defects when they buy defective cloth, as long as they can make new clothes to wear.

You need nine feet of fabric to make clothes, and I really only bought nine feet of fabric. I didn't buy a little more, after all, although the defective cloth doesn't need a ticket, the price is not cheap.

But Xu Xiaoying knew that Yunmeng made clothes for herself, her mother and mother-in-law, and she must be in good health.

Yunmeng has always been generous in this regard, and she can write articles to earn manuscript fees, and her husband has an allowance for being a soldier in the army, so he won't say that he saves this money.

Therefore, Xu Xiaoying deliberately picked the part of the fabric with fewer flaws, and bought more according to what Yunmeng said last time, so that Yunmeng could cut it as much as he wanted when he went back to make clothes.

Zhou Yunmeng is indeed very happy, more fabrics can come in handy, and Xu Xiaoying has chosen these three fabrics carefully.

The three kinds of fabrics were twelve feet each, especially the peach-pink fabric was very rare, and she thought it would be nice to be able to buy them all within a month.

Who knew that Xu Xiaoying was so powerful, and she would get it all done within half a month.

In this way, you can also have more time to make autumn clothes after you go back, and wear them when the weather turns cold.

"Xiaoying thank you so much! I like the peach-pink fabric, and it definitely looks good in clothes. There is also the fabric that my mother and mother-in-law make clothes, you are very thoughtful, and it is indeed more comfortable to wear cotton clothes. ”

"And how difficult it is to buy this fabric, I'm happy that you help me buy more fabrics, and the rest of them can make some clothes for the children at home, like you said that the uneven printing is also good to cut down as towels."

Xu Xiaoying smiled after hearing this, Yun Meng could understand his own mind, that was the best.

She was also happy.

Xu Xiaoying quoted the price of three kinds of fabrics, and the peach pink fabric was more popular and more popular, and the price was more expensive than the earth gray and earth yellow.

Zhou Yunmeng calculated the total price of these three fabrics in his heart, deducted the money for two catties of pork, and finally handed the money to Xu Xiaoying.

"Xiaoying, are you right?"

Xu Xiaoying responded, quickly calculated and smiled: "That's right." ”

"That's good."

Zhou Yunmeng and Xu Xiaoying chatted a few more words, and made an appointment to bring the iron pot to her next time, so they left on a bicycle.

She first went around to the uninhabited alley, and with a move of her mind, she transferred the fabric package in the back basket to the supermarket first, so as not to carry a heavy load, and she had to explain more when she went back to Rao Xiaoqing's house.

After finishing it, she rode her bicycle out of the alley and went to the family courtyard of the meat factory.

Rao Xiaoqing's mother-in-law heard the knock on the door and opened the door with a smile: "Yunmeng is here, come into the house and sit." ”

They were like relatives, Zhou Yunmeng's face was familiar again, and the people on the upper and lower floors of the surrounding buildings heard the sound and looked at it, so they continued to do their own things.

Zhou Yunmeng answered and followed her grandmother in.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and the grandmother hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring out two catties of pork: "This pork is fresh, it was sent by Xiaoqing's father early in the morning." ”

She greeted, "Your side will have an autumn harvest in a month or two, and you will be very tired from grabbing the harvest in the field at that time." We have already discussed with Xiaoqing and her father, go back and bring back two catties of pork, and you can make up more oil and water at home. ”

This kind of thing is normal for people, grandmother and the family know how tired the production team is during the autumn harvest, Yunmeng, this child has the ability, and he definitely wants the family to eat more meat and make up for some oil and water.

Yun Meng and his daughter-in-law are good friends, and they have helped their family a lot before, and the benefits they have gained cannot be easily measured.

Instead of waiting for Yunmeng's child, it is better for them to speak first and take the initiative to help, so that everyone is comfortable.

Zhou Yunmeng smiled and responded: "Okay, then thank you Auntie first, you are really thoughtful." ”

She counted the money for two catties of pork and handed it to her grandmother, and made an appointment to come over next time when Rao Xiaoqing had a day off.

Zhou Yunmeng rode a bicycle out of the family courtyard of the meat factory, and also went around to the uninhabited alley, and took the car into the supermarket.

She first opened and turned over a package of fabric she bought from Xu Xiaoying, the peach-pink chintz was really good-looking, and the earthy gray and earthy yellow twill was also comfortable to touch.

As for the flaws, as Xu Xiaoying said, there is not much of a problem. The intact fabric will definitely be able to make an autumn coat, and the rest of the fabric can be disposed of.

She wrapped it back as it was, then went to the fresh and cooked food area to get the meat, this time she simply took a chicken for each of the two families, and went to the slaughterhouse to cut the two catties of pork bought from Rao Xiaoqing's house into one catty each, and specially passed the following name.

Then I went to the grain, oil and rice noodle area to get Fuqiang flour, polished rice, mung beans, and took the tile porcelain jar I brought from home to fill seventy percent full of peanut oil.

There is still oil left over from the last fried pork ribs, but with a meaty smell, it is easy to smell when you go back to fry the chicken, and there is no pure peanut oil to fry fragrantly.

After finishing it, she went to the daily chemical area at home to get white sugar.

Then I went to the snack and drink area, and when I remembered the shelf, I picked up four bottles of Arctic Ocean soda.

Zhou Yunmeng put away the separation that he was going to take to the Zhou family and the Lin family, and then he took the car out of the supermarket.

She rode to the supply and marketing cooperative, looked at the price of Arctic Ocean soda, a few cents a bottle, and had a good idea.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, I went directly to the Fengshan production team.

Zhou family.

After Zhou Yunmeng knocked on the door and called someone, Zhou's mother came out happily and quickly helped her take the back basket.

"Oh, this basket is really heavy today, what did you buy today?"
