Chapter 90: Manuscript Fee Received

When she arrived at the brigade headquarters, Su Mo found that the aunts who were chattering at the door looked at her a little wrong.

Seeing Su Mo coming, an aunt came up and said with a gossipy face: "Su Zhiqing, I have a package, a letter and two remittance slips for you." ”

Su Mo answered, and hurriedly ran to the postman to sign for it.

The package was sent by Lu Changzheng, and it was quite big, so I don't know what it was mailed.

The letter was written by the editor of Haishi Newspaper.

Two remittance slips, one 30 yuan, were remitted by Lu Changzheng; A piece of 20 yuan was remitted by the Haishi newspaper.

Su Mo was very happy to receive the remittance from the newspaper, and it seemed that her article was selected.

The curiosity of the aunts is always the strongest, and when they saw that Su Mo had finished signing for it, they all hurriedly gathered around and asked nonsense.

"Su Zhiqing, who sent you these things?"

"Is it your man?"

"Or did your mother-in-law send you money again?"

Su Mo's manuscript was selected, and she was happy, and she was not impatient, so she answered them one by one.

"The package also has a remittance slip sent by the Long March, and the letter and another remittance slip are sent by the Haishi Newspaper."

"Newspaper? Isn't that where newspapers are printed? Why do I send you money? ”

Su Mo hooked her lips and smiled, waiting for this sentence.

"yes, that's where the newspaper is printed. I was a supernumerary correspondent of Haishi Newspaper, and I wrote a manuscript for the newspaper, and when the article was published, I received a manuscript fee. ”

The aunts gasped, and their eyes were different when they looked at Su Mo.

Before, it may have been just envy that Su Mo often had money to collect, but now it is with admiration.

Most of them have never studied, they have only attended literacy classes for a few days, and they have a natural admiration for those who can eat with the pen.

Although this is a special time, and many people say that reading is useless, it is more of a young person's idea. The older generation still admires the readers.

"So, how much is that?" One of the aunts asked.

Su Mo smiled, "It's not much, it's only 20 yuan." ”

What? The aunts took another breath of cold air.

20 dollars is not much? How much did you have to take before?

This Su Zhiqing, looking silent, didn't expect to be a powerful character.

It was also Lu Changzheng's poisonous eyes, and he picked the best one at a glance.

The aunts are envious, why don't they have such a good vision.

Su Mo finished pretending to be forced, and then prepared to go back, "Ladies and gentlemen, then I'll go home first." ”

Seeing that Su Mo was carrying a large package, the aunts hurriedly gave up a seat and let Su Mo come over.

After returning home, Su Mo first opened the letter sent by the newspaper editor, and in addition to the letter, there was an industrial coupon and a 2-pound meat ticket for the whole country.

Su Mo put the ticket away and unfolded the letter.

The first half is the editor's high praise for Su Mo's abandonment of the work in the sea market to support rural construction, but I don't know if it's sincere.

In the second half, it is said that their newspaper recently opened a column for educated youths in the countryside, and the manuscript sent by Su Mo is simply timely rain, let her write more about this in the future, and he will try his best to get her a higher salary.

Su Mo's previous four submissions were all controlled at the beginning of 1,000 words, and 20 yuan was remitted, that is, the remuneration was calculated at 5 yuan/1,000 words. She remembered that the original owner had a previous article that was paid 8 yuan for 1,000 words, and it seemed that she still had room for improvement.

After reading the letter, Su Mo opened the package sent by Lu Changzheng.

There is a brand-new military coat inside, which is still a small size, which should have been specially changed for her by Lu Changzheng.

Su Mo tried it, although it was bigger, it was just right to wear it when it snowed in winter. Otherwise, she would have a set of cotton clothes, and she wouldn't have to change.

In addition to clothes, there are also canned meat, milk powder, and toffee, all of which are double-serving. Su Mo put away one by herself, and took the other one to the old man to eat when the time came.

There was also a thick letter, Su Mo opened it, and there were five pages of stationery.

Lu Changzheng only briefly said at the beginning that he would go on a mission after returning to the team, and the troops who returned half a month later, the next four and a half pages were all written about his thoughts about Su Mo, all kinds of sweet words, and the corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched but raised high.

In the end, he didn't forget to tell Su Mo to write more letters to him.

Su Mo thought that she was going to send out the recently written manuscript tomorrow, so she also took out the letter paper and wrote a letter to Lu Changzheng, saying what had happened recently, especially Lu Boming's health had improved. After thinking about it, he finally added "I miss you too" at the end.

At the moment when Su Mo was writing the letter, Liu Yuzhi, who went to help others come back with cabbage, saw Li Yue'e washing things by the well, so he stepped forward.

"Mother, I heard that the third brother and sister received the manuscript fee from the newspaper, and there are 20 yuan." There was nothing lively in the countryside to see, and some new things soon spread.

"What?" Li Yue'e left her home to clean up this morning and didn't go out, so she didn't know.

"Let's just say that the third brother and sister are reporters of the newspaper, and they submitted articles to the newspaper, published them, and remitted 20 yuan for the manuscript." Those aunts didn't know what a "supernumerary correspondent" was, so they just talked about reporters.

"And this?" Li Yue'e stood up and said with a smile, "Xiao Mo, this kid is smart, this is also possible." ”

Her old daughter-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it. At home, you can earn money by writing articles. When I went to the mountain, I either met Coptis chinensis or dug wild ginseng.

What a lucky star!

Liu Yuzhi saw that Li Yue'e was so happy, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. When the two daughters-in-law were before, Li Yue'e liked her more.

"I heard that the third brother also sent money and sent packages back." Liu Yuzhi added.

Li Yue'e waved her hand, not caring much, "That's as it should be, his daughter-in-law is at home, and she can't send some money and things back." ”

Liu Yuzhi didn't say anything, but he was actually surprised in his heart. If it were her, her son would only care about sending things to his daughter-in-law, and his parents would not have anything at all, so he would feel a little uncomfortable.

It seems that these three brothers and sisters still have some ability, and it has only been a month since they entered the door, and their status in their mother-in-law's heart is already so high.

Liu Yuzhi suddenly had a sense of crisis, and it seemed that she still had to think more about the old people, otherwise her status as the eldest daughter-in-law would probably not be guaranteed.

After Su Mo finished writing the letter, she cooked a piece of bread, went to the vegetable field to pick up a few spinach, and just the wild boar meat left over from yesterday, so she settled the lunch.

After lunch, Su Mo saw that the spinach in the vegetable field was already ripe, so she was ready to harvest it. Keep some of it for yourself, and send the rest to the Lu family.

After all, this thing is not durable, and she is not good at stuffing it into the space.

And when they got married, they took off all the vegetable fields, and they still have to exchange vegetables with the people in the village for eating in the second room. Although Li Yue'e also planted them back later, it really didn't grow a few roots.

The spinach plot is not big, Su Mo pulled it all out in about ten minutes, kept about three or four meals for herself, and carried the rest in a basket, took the things sent by Lu Changzheng, and went to Lu's house.

When Su Mo passed, Li Yue'e was taking advantage of the good sun to dry the bedding.

"Mother, my spinach has grown, I brought some over, and you can give some to the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law."

Li Yue'e hurried over and helped Su Mo take off the basket together, and when she saw the basket full of spinach, she didn't agree: "I've brought it all, so what are you eating?" ”

"I still have it at home, and this thing can't be put up. When we got married, we pulled all the vegetable patches, and everyone didn't have anything to eat, so everyone shared a share of them and ate a few meals. ”

Li Yue'e smiled, "You are generous, okay, that mother will help you divide it in a while, and I will send you back later." ”

Su Mo handed over the cloth bag with the things again, "This thing was sent by the Long March, you keep it." ”

"Do you have anything else?"

"Yes, it's all double." Su Mo said.

In this way, Li Yue'e also accepted it.
