Whether it's popularity or prestige, it seems that it really takes a certain amount of time to ferment.

Although the system is a bit cold, it is obviously very aware of this truth, so it only gave Niu Er three months.

The IQ of the system is not only not doubtful, but also has a certain professional attitude.

Niu Er's heart was finally a little more steady.

In the future, as long as you pay more attention to the daily newspapers and magazines, you can basically grasp the dynamics.

Three months to go, there are nearly two months left, no hurry.

Putting down this matter, Niu Er turned to the essay notice that Wen Changtian said.

The main requirements for the submitted manuscript are that the subject matter is not limited, the short story should be less than 30,000 words, the novella principle should be less than 50,000 words, and the longest should not exceed 100,000 words.

After all, it is only a journal and magazine, and the capacity of each issue is limited.

The award is based on a combination of reader voting and final expert review.

Novellas and short stories are judged separately, but the award setting and prize criteria are the same.

The grand prize is 100,000 yuan, and there is only one place;

The first prize is 60,000 yuan, which is also a quota;

The second prize is 40,000 yuan, and there are two places;

The third prize is 20,000 yuan, and there are three places.

Finally, a number of awards for excellence were also set. There is no limit to the number of Excellence Awards, and it will be determined according to the specific situation of the quality of the manuscript received. The Excellence Award also carries a prize of 5,000 yuan.

Even if there is an excellent award, it will catch up with the salary of an ordinary worker in Nissa Autonomous Town for a few months, Niu Er thought silently

In addition to the prize money, the original remuneration for entries published in these five magazines will be paid according to the remuneration standards of each magazine.

Finally, there is the possibility of publishing a collection of award-winning works. Articles that are selected for inclusion in the anthology can still receive a certain amount of royalties or remuneration.

The bonus remuneration is superimposed, which is very real, Niu Er secretly praised.

Whether it is the top prize or the last prize, it is still in cash.

Or people of this world.

Be kinder.

Thinking of the piles of various coupons and alternative products that he had accumulated in his previous life, Niu Er wanted to vomit.

Although I don't know if these bonuses will have their own share in the end, Niu Er still silently praised the five magazines that hosted this award event in his heart.

Even in previous lives, these bonuses were attractive enough. What's more, in a small place like Nissa Town, where income is low and prices are relatively stable.

With such a high prize, you must try your luck.

It is best to participate in both novellas and short stories, and choose two magazines from five different countries to apply. If they all win, it will be a double prize...... Only when you dream first can you have the motivation, and then you will have the courage to burst your liver.

In any case, dreams are the precursor to action.

A life that doesn't even dare to do a dream must have forgotten the blind cat and the luck of meeting a dead mouse.

So Niu Er decided that starting next Monday, every day after school, he would spend an hour going to the Shenzhou bookstore. You can not only see the various newspapers and magazines of the day, but also see the characteristics of the manuscripts used by these five magazines. Then figure out what books you copy in a targeted manner.

Even if it's a re-creation reprocessed from memory, it's like that maverick pig.

With his mind clear, Niu Er turned his head to look at the small alarm clock on his desk.

Hey......

It's almost ten o'clock at nine o'clock, and it's been almost an hour since I went back to the house, why hasn't my mother called me yet?

Niu Er got up from the kang and went down to the ground, and gently pushed the door open a crack......

"Get out of here!"

Dad Niu Yaoquan is like having eyes on his back.

Niu Er came out and crept over.

There were still a few dumplings left in the plates and bowls on the dinner table.

The cups and plates on the dinner table were messy, and the diligent and slightly clean mother didn't remove the table.

The two didn't seem to have anything to talk about.

The magazine is in my mother's hand, and she is still reading it, but she doesn't know which one she is reading.

Dad spouted clouds and mist, not knowing what he was thinking.

Niu Er was thinking about what to do to make the two break the deadlock, when he saw his father get up and hang on the wall, dig into his backpack, and then fly a pack of cigarettes to Niu Er.

"The article is well written. A pack of cigarettes for encouragement, come on!"

Niu Er was just about to look down to see what brand of cigarette it was, when he heard a "bang", which startled him.

Mom seemed to slam her fist on the dining table.

"Niu Yaoquan!"

"I repeat! Niu Er must not be distracted by anything else before he is admitted to university. If he must write, he will have to wait until he is admitted to university. At that time, he was not hanging in front of my eyes, I couldn't see or hear, and I couldn't control it, so I could do whatever you wanted. At that time, you will just poke the hell in the hole, and the old lady will not care! But now, absolutely not!"

Daddy Niu's face was a little sneering, and he came back and sat down at the dinner table again.

The two men rarely argued in front of Niu Er. Niu Er has hardly seen them quarrel since he can remember.

Once the two have something to discuss, they will send Niu Er away.

It seems that Mother Niu is really serious today, and she really can't control it.

"Then listen to your mother, and before you are admitted to college, don't write for the time being......"

After Daddy Niu returned to normal, he said something slowly, and then took a puff of cigarette:

"However, the eldest husband will either stand up to the sky and the earth and live for a hundred years, or do his best, even if it is a stench for 10,000 years. You know, to be able to leave a stench for 10,000 years, that also requires a lot of ability......"

Niu Er knew that his father's words were not finished, so he reached out and pulled a chair and sat down as well.

Dad needs him as a loyal listener right now.

"Whether it is our Lao Niu family or your mother Ashiya's family, they have always been a well-known family. It's just that it's time for me and your mother...... Time also, life also. ”

"However, poor and strong, do not fall into the ambition of the clouds; Si is a burrow, but I am ...... Dexin"

Daddy Niu's tone gradually elevated.

"There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, and then there is speech. Although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is called immortal. ”

"So, stinky boy, listen to me. Although the university entrance examination cannot be wasted, after all, it is only a temporary matter. What is worth sticking to for a lifetime is the foundation of a good man's life. ”

Something like this, Niu Er usually bragged with his father ramblingly, and he also heard him say it. It's just that only this time, Daddy Niu seems to be real...... I was more serious, too.

"In peacetime, ordinary people have few opportunities to be ordered to make meritorious contributions. As for virtue, your mother and I have already set a benchmark for you, and you kid will do it at your discretion. In the end, there is only one thing left, and that is to make a statement, that is, to write a book and say it. ”

Daddy Niu took the magazine and flipped through it.

"After reading your article, your mother and I were a little shocked. Although your talent has long been expected, when the real thing is in front of us, we ...... Still a bit of a surprise. ”

"So I think this is probably the foundation of your life. ”

Niu Er nodded slightly at his father, and squinted at his mother.

Father Niu immediately blinked his eyes knowingly, and smiled slightly.

"Having said so much, I just want you kid to distinguish priorities and make priorities clear. The last sentence, which is what your mother just said, you have to concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination before the college entrance examination, and don't talk about these useless ...... Whether it is useful or not is a matter of later. Later, that's later. ”

Although Mother Niu didn't say anything, she got up and began to clean up the table.

Niu Er also stood up immediately, "I'll clean up." Mom, rest early, tomorrow I have to carry the burden to travel so far. ”

Where would the cow's mother be willing to let her baby son do this.

Niu Er was still busy with his mother for a while, and in three or five minutes, he cleaned up the kitchen that was too simple to be more simple.

"Dad, this kind of cigarette may cost 180 yuan a pack, right?"

Niu Er said as he sat down at the dinner table. I opened the cigarette case, took my father's lighter, and smoked it with a snap.

Daddy Niu has a mantra that father and son have become brothers for many years.

His way of educating Niu Er, from the time Niu Er grew up to be a teenager, developed in the direction of equal communication like brothers and friends. So even at the age of rebellion, Niu Er has never clashed with his parents.

For Niu Er's habits such as smoking and drinking, Niu Dad not only did not stop it, but also encouraged it.

If you don't smoke or drink, what kind of manly husband is you...... Of course, there are some things that don't sound good.

As long as these two fathers and sons brag together, as long as they have cigarettes in their pockets, they will often give me one and I will send you one. While spraying clouds and spitting mist, they talked about some spring and white snow that was far away from them.

found that Niu Er and the water in the front yard Luo Yisha had signs of early love, and Niu's father would selflessly pass on some of his experience to his son. The last point emphasized is that you must not be careless, and you must not make a big deal of what others do.

At the beginning, Mother Niu was destined to fight again. But with the conspiracy of the father and son, soon, Mother Niu became accustomed to it.

Niu Er knew that his parents had reached some kind of consensus on his entrance examination and writing at this time. Although it was a routine of father and son conspiring to coax Mother Niu, the result was still good after all.

In order to let his parents open up the situation before going to bed as soon as possible and reconcile as before, Niu Er began to talk nonsense about cigarettes without saying anything.

"You have a bit of an eye...... The town's leaders sent me. After knowing that this cigarette was so expensive, I really wanted to tell him that it would be better to just give me some cash, even if it was half of the discount. ”

"How much for you?"

"One. ”

"Alas, it's a pity to have a thousand dollars...... The next time someone gives you a good cigarette, don't smoke it. I'll help you turn them into cash, and then you can buy cheaper ones and draw them yourself. Compared with the original price, it is only slightly less than 10 percent, at most 20 percent, which is definitely more than half the price you said. ”

Father Niu looked at Niu Er's eyes widened.

"I don't lie to you, I really have a way. ”

"Good. The bottom line of doing things you know...... You can be forgiven for being less greedy, and count your hard work. If you're greedy, watch out for your dog's legs. ”

Niu Er glared at Niu's father with disdain, then got up and went back to the house to sleep.

As soon as he walked to the door, Mother Niu stopped him from behind in a wet voice.

"Remember what your dad said just now?"

"Remembered. ”

"There's one more thing I want to talk about today...... The water in the front yard is not small, you two are always tired of being together, even if there is really nothing to do, it is inevitable that some gossip will be left behind......"

"Your mom is right!"

Daddy Niu seized the opportunity and showed goodwill to Niu's mother in time.

"Your mother and I don't want to hold our grandson until you're twenty-five. Whether it's a legitimate grandson, or something else. As for the rest, your mother and I can't control it so much, and we can't control it if we want to, so we don't care. Do you understand?"

"Then I'll hold your grandson after the age of thirty-five, it's okay now, right?"

"Stinky boy!

This time, Niu's father and Niu's mother are almost in unison.
