Reborn Scholar

Chapter 17

Bickering back to bickering, Meng Shi and Han Cheng soon reached the third floor.

Han Cheng knocked on the door, and soon the door opened.

It was Su Wan who opened the door.

After seeing Han Cheng, he immediately laughed, but then he saw the big bags in Han Cheng's hand.

Su Wan looked puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Han Cheng grinned and showed his white teeth, "Auntie, I didn't think about buying fruit for you, anyway, you think I can't pick it. This little girl bought it all, she really is beyond her control, buying so many fruits She can’t lift it, and when I came, she was blocking all the stairs by herself. Your nephew should do a good job and help this little girl lift it up.”

Only now did Su Wan see Meng Shi who was blocked by Han Cheng and several big bags, and she couldn't help being a little speechless, "Hey kid, what are you doing with these?"

Meng Shi smiled politely, "The journey is a bit long, and it's inconvenient to take a car. My grandfather and I have nothing to take with us. A little fruit is not worth anything. You and Professor Yu gave us such kind hospitality. We feel very sorry for not going... "

"puff"

Before Meng Shi finished speaking, Han Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said while laughing, "Hey, you girl is really playing the same tricks, the little girl with all the teeth and claws who attacked me just now Who is the lion? Now he's a cute little sheep again, so fast!"

Meng Shi immediately turned dark.

Su Wan stretched out her hand and hit Han Cheng, "Ah Cheng, what are you talking about! Where is your manners? Why don't you apologize to my little sister!"

Han Cheng curled his lips, "Auntie, this little girl is crazy, and I didn't wrong her... Oh, stop hitting me, I apologize. I'm sorry, little girl, I just spoke without thinking, you Don't be angry. Okay? Don't be angry, I'll buy you candy!"

Meng Shi: "..."

After entering the room, Yu Qian was chatting with his grandfather.

Seeing that there were outsiders in the house, Han Cheng immediately put away his uninhibited posture as if he was a different person, and greeted Yu Qian in a very humble and polite manner. greet.

For such a polite, sensible and well-behaved child, grandpa is naturally his favorite.

Han Cheng was also very talkative. After putting the fruit in the kitchen, he ran out and started talking about how Meng Shi saved his nephew Pippi when he was in City Z last time.

Having said that, Yu Qian and Su Wan immediately became more enthusiastic.

They had heard about what happened to Pippi last time, and they were even more interested when they heard that the person who saved Pippi was a little girl.However, who ever thought that they could meet again?So although the eldest nephew Han Lin had information about the little girl, Su Wan and the others didn't know about it.

The meal was served quickly.

Eat happily like a family.

After eating and making tea again, Yu Qian began to talk to Meng Shi about the things she cared about the most.

"Although I haven't finished reading the manuscript, judging from the first part, it is already a very good manuscript. Now, you want to submit a manuscript to country R, ​​have you thought about translation?" Yu Qian asked.

"I want to submit a manuscript in Chinese, and I only attach a Japanese introduction to the manuscript. If the other party is interested, I will naturally translate it. And country R does not lack people who are proficient in Chinese."

Yu Qian nodded, "There is no other way. From time to time, you can see if this works. I will translate this manuscript for you. After all, this is a mystery novel. If it is translated by ordinary translators, it may not have the same flavor after it comes out. Oh boy. My Japanese is ok, and I read a lot of Japanese reasoning, so I shouldn’t ruin your work.”

Meng Shi was pleasantly surprised, "That would be too much trouble for you. The reason why I want to submit a manuscript in Chinese is because I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a suitable translator in China. With Professor Yu, I am sure. As for the translation fee, I... ..."

"Don't mention this! It's the best for me to see such a wonderful story first. Besides, you are still Pippi's savior, and I don't need your little money!" Yu Qian did not hesitate said.

Su Wan also laughed, "Yes, Uncle Yu said that, so don't mention the money anymore, or Uncle Yu will turn his back on you."

Meng Shi could only smile gratefully.

Uncle Yu... This title is quite close.

After listening to everyone's words very calmly, Han Cheng said with a smile, "You still write novels, show me quickly, I'm a fan of novels. Works that can be translated by my uncle without translation fees, for sure. Very unusual!"

"You kid! I haven't finished watching yet." Yu Qian scolded with a smile.

But after all, Yu Qian's attitude is not very clear.

Calling Meng Shi to the study alone, Yu Qian expressed his doubts, "Shi Shi, you...how did you write this kind of novel?"

Yes, this is indeed a bit too spooky.

Such a work doesn't look like it was written by a teenager!

Meng Shi smiled, "I have loved reading since I was a child. When I was a few years old, I had already read all those fairy tale books. Later, I also tried to write novels. I wrote a lot, but few of them were published. .”

"Published?" Yu Qian immediately became interested.

"Well. Those are not reasoning, but... science fiction. Published in Science Fiction World, a long serial, two articles, I don't have a sample, if you are interested, you can look for it in the periodical room of the school. I can Let me tell you roughly about the content of those two articles..."

……

I don't know the process of the conversation in the study room, but I am very satisfied with the result.

In the end, the manuscript stayed with Yu Qian, and Meng Shi and his grandfather only lived in W City for two days before returning to N City, D County.

Before leaving, Su Wanfei packed a bag full of good tea, cigarettes, and some snacks that cannot be bought in China, such as chocolate.Meng Shi couldn't refuse, so he took it over and thanked Su Wan repeatedly.

And Yu Qian took out a thick stack of reasoning magazines, some from country R, ​​and some from country Y from country M. The most rare thing is that Yu Qian also translated some of his favorite magazines!

This was a precious gift for Meng Shi. She could read English in a dictionary, but she couldn't understand Japanese at all.With Yu Qian's translation, it seems much smoother.

When I came to Shikong to start, I couldn’t even carry it when I went back. It was really helpless.

Han Cheng volunteered to send Meng Shi and his grandfather to the station. Before leaving, he left Meng Shi a business card with a landline number of City B printed on it.

Meng Shi put it away, but didn't intend to fight.

After returning home, Meng Shi went to school again.

For Meng Shi, the fourth grade was not much different from the third grade.

But what bothers her a lot is that the Chinese class always has to sum up the central idea.What's more, you can't make up this central idea yourself, there are standard answers, and you need to memorize those standard answers!

It’s okay to be speechless, you still have to memorize it honestly.I have to say that sometimes cramming teaching is still very useful, at least the students have a solid foundation.

Meng Shi was No. 1 in the fourth grade, so he naturally caught the attention of the teacher.

The way teachers express love and concern is to ask questions.

I don't dare to lose my mind in class, otherwise, when the teacher clicks on the name, I don't know what question to ask...

Sure enough, Xueba also has the hardships of Xueba.

But the good news is that at the beginning of October, when I called Yu Qian, Yu Qian said that all the manuscripts had been translated and sent to Country R, ​​which was submitted to a newspaper.

Meng Shi felt relieved.

But at the same time, she also asked Yu Qian a question, "Uncle Yu, is there any latest suspense and fantasy novels in Country R this year?"

"what you mean?"

Meng Shi thought for a while, and then said straight, "I heard that there is a book called Midnight Ringer. Have you read it? Although it is not an orthodox reasoning, it belongs to the fantasy category. I heard it is very good."

"Really? I'll ask later. I have a friend who works in Country R, ​​who is in the publishing industry. Let me ask, why do you suddenly want to read fantasy novels?"

Meng Shi said with some embarrassment, "The science fiction world is pressuring for manuscripts. I don't know what subject to write for a while. I want to read something different and find inspiration."

"Don't worry about it so much, inspiration is not always there. Why rush!" Yu Qian said without hesitation.

Meng Shi couldn't help laughing.

Of course it couldn't be because of the reason she said.

The real reason is very simple. The books that Yu Qian gave her were all recent periodicals, not only about reasoning, but also about the supernatural and fantasy of country R, ​​but she read them all and didn't find the famous Midnight fierce bell.

She vaguely remembered that Noon seemed to be published in 89, could it be that she remembered it wrong?
You know, Wu's series of works are a cash cow. If they haven't been published yet, then wouldn't she have a chance?
