Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 325 "Lu Deshui" published

For many years Uncle Liu worked on rough rural earthworks and brick houses. If he really wanted to do traditional Chinese architecture, he had to hire a real veteran like his master to get his pulse.

"Okay, anyway, I'll leave this matter to you, can it be finished before May [-]st?"

Fourth Uncle Liu cried bitterly: "May [-]st? You want my life! You still need at least a year to build an acre of land with a house and a yard in the old house!"

"Don't, fourth uncle. I'm in a hurry to get married. I want money and someone to talk to you, as long as you can finish it." He Ping said happily.

Fourth Uncle Liu thought for a while and shook his head, "No, absolutely not. If you want to build this house well, there are too many delicate work inside, and I can't mess around with it."

He Ping saw that Uncle Liu was so decisive, he had no choice but to say: "Then you should hurry up."

At the same time, I secretly blamed myself for neglecting this matter because of the Nanshan matter some time ago, so I should have done it earlier.

Although he regretted it in his heart, He Ping knew that professional work had to be done by professional people.Since Fourth Uncle Liu said it would take a year, there must be a reason why it took so long.

"Fourth Uncle, I will leave this matter to you. You can discuss it with your master first, and give me a picture for me to look at. After reading the picture, there is no problem. Let's prepare the materials and start working."

"Sure, I'll do it when I get back." Fourth Uncle Liu agreed happily.

He Ping and Fourth Uncle Liu returned to Hantun after watching the homestead, and Xiao Zhuer said to him, "Dad, Uncle Kan is here to give you something."

After speaking, he handed the things to him. He Ping saw that it was a sample booklet for the publication of "Lu Deshui" sent by the editorial department of "People's Literature", as well as the manuscript fee bill.

After the fermentation of "Fu Gui", He Ping can now be regarded as the head author of "People's Literature", and the manuscript fee standard has been raised to 15 yuan per thousand characters.

The full text of "Lü Deshui" has more than 5 words, and He Ping received a manuscript fee of 3 yuan.

Of course, He Ping doesn't care about this little money now, but the publication of "Lu Deshui" still makes him very happy.This novel is based on the later movie "Donkey Gets Water", but I wrote the article word by word. Being able to publish it in a magazine like "People's Literature" at least proves that my writing skills are recognized of.

Together with the sample booklet and the manuscript fee list, there is also a letter from Sister Wang Fu.

Sister Wang Fu said in the letter that "Lu Deshui" is very well written. Although the style is quite different from "Fugui", it is full of absurdity and black humor. It is a rare good work in recent years. Consensus for publication.

Moreover, the idea of ​​the "Names" trilogy is very creative, and the quality of the first two novels is very high. I hope that He Ping can complete the creation of the third work as soon as possible, so that she can have a sneak peek.

In addition, it is said that "Fu Gui" is selling very well, and the publishing house has printed another one million copies, which is expected to be sold out in the first half of this year.

At the end of the letter, Sister Wang Fu invited He Ping to BJ to participate in the symposium for young writers hosted by the editorial department.

He Ping sneered after reading the letter, thinking that I am a fool?What a forum for young writers, what a fool.

He Ping dares to guarantee that as long as he arrives in the capital, he will be locked up in a small black room in the guest house by these unscrupulous editors. The big iron gate will be locked, and he will not be allowed to leave the room until he finishes writing a work.

The conscience of these people is greatly broken!
He won't be fooled.

Thinking of this, He Ping wrote a letter to Sister Wang Fu.

First of all, he expressed his affirmation of her and the comrades in the editorial department, and then expressed his joy that "Fu Gui" will be printed again. Finally, he said that he will get married on May [-]st, and he is currently preparing for the wedding in full swing. I am afraid that the young writers symposium Sorry for not being able to make the trip.

He Ping dusted off the letter paper he had just written.

Yes, being polite, well-reasoned and well-founded, Sister Wang Fu should not be able to find any faults.

Then he handed the letter to Xiao Zhu'er, "Put the letter in a package, write the delivery address on the letter, and give it to Uncle Kan when he comes."

Xiao Zhuer happily took over the job. His favorite job now is to receive, open and reply letters to his father, and he feels that he has become very knowledgeable.

After the task was handed over to Xiao Zhuer, He Ping planned to go around the arena.

On the way, I ran into Han Zhaoshe. This kid was wilted, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"what happened?"

Han Zhaoshe was walking with his head down, and looked up to see He Ping, "Don't mention it, I just bought the equipment, outside started to crack down on speculation, and people in the south started to arrest people, I dare not even open this photo studio."

He Ping laughed when he heard this, "Aren't you stupid? What people attack are speculators, who buy low and sell high, poach the corner of the country, and evade taxes. You are the one who takes pictures, and you give a share of the money to each person, and you don't hire anyone." .As long as you don’t evade taxes, what does this matter have to do with you.”

Han Zhaoshe looked at He Ping in disbelief, "Brother, is what you said true?"

"It's true, you'll know if you try it." He Ping deliberately teased him.

Han Zhaoshe said impatiently, "Brother He Ping, don't tease me, is that true?"

He Ping said seriously: "Read the newspapers more when you have time, and care about national affairs. You can understand the reasons for this 'crackdown' by reading the contents of last year's newspapers. Factories, self-employed people, they usually have dirty hands and feet, and they like to evade taxes.”

"I can rest assured that."

"Don't be careless, what I'm talking about is only the spirit of the top. When you go down, the policy can easily be implemented out of shape. Your photo studio should be opened later."

Han Zhaoshe had a bitter face, "I have bought all the equipment and borrowed so much money."

He Ping spread his hands, "Then what can be done, who made you catch up."

"It's bad luck."

Han Zhaoshe kicked the stone away, venting his dissatisfaction.

After walking around the pig farm, He Ping saw Han Zhaojun again on the way home, "Brother He Ping, I was just going to find you."

"What's wrong?"

"Have you read the newspapers these days?" Han Zhaojun asked.

"You mean 'Eight Kings'?"

"Correct."

He Ping looked at Han Zhaojun with relief, not bad, not bad, it is different when he becomes a leader, and now he has begun to care about policy matters.

Han Zhaojun asked worriedly, "Brother He Ping, are we all right?"

He Ping said without worry: "Whatever we can do here is a team-run enterprise, and we pay taxes according to regulations."

"That's good. I just read the propaganda in the newspaper, and I feel a little flustered."

"Don't worry, it's just a gust of wind. Team-run enterprises like our chicken farms and pig farms will not have the slightest impact."

He Ping comforted Han Zhaojun a few words, and then asked: "That's right. I saw Zhaoshe just now. You can watch him and click. The photo studio has to be opened later, so as not to hit the gun."

Han Zhaojun said seriously, "Okay."
