Chapter 58 Contribution
Guo Zisu carefully transcribed the news release on grid paper, put it in an envelope, and prepared to send it.While walking to the school mail room, she called Lin Xuan and told him that she was going to submit two news articles and asked him for advice.

Lin Xuan was very happy and tried his best to invite Guo Zisu to the newspaper office.

Guo Zisu said, "I still have work to do today. You have received the manuscript. If you need me to revise it, please notify me to get it. It will be a waste of time."

Lin Xuan said, "You're too polite. If you have any manuscripts in the future, please take the time to send them over. Chengguan Primary School is not a few steps away from the county party committee compound, so why waste stamps. Besides, we can communicate face to face."

Guo Zisu smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have too many things to do, and you just won't be here when you go."

"I'm usually here. If not, you can just throw it in through the crack of the door." Lin Xuan smiled heartily.

Guo Zisu laughed and said, "Okay, next time I will definitely put the manuscript under the door."

The next morning, Guo Zisu received a call from Lin Xuan asking her to go to the newspaper office for a chat.She greeted Minister Feng and happily went.

The county newspaper office is located in the county party committee compound, in an old house with red bricks and blue tiles and wooden stairs, on the first floor there is a large office near the exit, where Lin Xuan runs the newspaper.

Lin Xuan said that this newspaper was founded in the 50s, but it was closed for some reason, and now it has resumed publication after many efforts.However, at present, he has been appointed alone to do the interviewing, writing, editing, proofreading, and printing matters, and he is alone busy.The time of publication is not certain now, because it is still in the trial release period.

Guo Zisu was very happy to see that the words "adopted" had been circled at the top of one of his manuscripts, and many of the original restraints dissipated a lot.

Lin Xuan poured her a cup of tea and motioned to sit down opposite him.After chatting and learning about Guo Zisu's situation, he said: "Xiao Guo, I read what you wrote, and I think you are a very hardworking person. I really hope that you can actively support the newspaper for a long time, write more manuscripts, and write good manuscripts." .”

Guo Zisu nodded and smiled, "I will definitely work hard."

Lin Xuan picked up a stack of manuscripts on the table and flipped through them, "I have manuscripts sent by correspondents from various units here, and there are very few rural news. Your manuscripts that reflect the appearance of the countryside are very precious. In the future, you can spend more time if you have time." Get in touch with old colleagues and friends below, and you can find good themes inadvertently.”

Seeing that Guo Zisu was sitting upright like a middle school student, listening carefully, he couldn't help smiling, "However, because our newspaper has just resumed publication and we are short of funds, a press release is only five yuan. I suggest that you also write prose in your free time." , Poems, etc. are published in our newspaper supplements. Generally, prose within 15 words costs about 12 yuan, and poetry with [-] lines costs about [-] yuan. The money is too little, but you are young, and you are looking forward to your future.”

Guo Zisu said shyly: "I haven't written it, I'm afraid it won't be good."

"Look at how other people write. We don't have high requirements. As long as the sentences are fluent, logical, sentimental, emotional, and thoughtful, it's fine."

As he spoke, he got up and took out a stack of magazines and newspapers from the cabinet behind him, and put them in front of Guo Zisu, "These are some newspapers and magazines I collected, and there are many short prose and poems on them. You can take them back and grind them. Yihulu Huahuacai, give it to me before get off work this Thursday, I can catch up and help you get in."

Guo Zisu was both happy and terrified.He reached out and flipped through the stack of newspapers and periodicals, and said, "I will write as you said when I go back, but don't wait for me, I can't write a decent literary manuscript so quickly."

But Lin Xuan said confidently: "Xiao Guo, I can tell from your words and deeds that you are a person with rich emotions and a delicate heart. A girl like this is a master of lyricism as long as you give me a little hint. As long as you dare to write, It will definitely be written."

Guo Zisu touched the long hair on his chest, and smiled brightly at Lin Xuan, "Okay, I'll try."

Lin Xuan found a paper bag, put the newspapers in it, and handed it to Guo Zisu.

He walked and chatted with Guo Zisu, sent her to the gate, and said: "Xiao Guo, remember to deliver the literary manuscript before getting off work on Thursday, I'm waiting."

Guo Zisu wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything.Smiling and beckoning to him, he turned and walked towards the school.

In the evening, Guo Zisu sat at the table, took out the newspapers and periodicals that Lin Xuan had given her, and flipped through them one by one. After a while, she was immersed in the atmosphere created by those beautiful and moving words, feeling happy and sad, suddenly Angry and suddenly angry.

Just when she was deeply infected, Reporter Wang called, "Zisu, are you asleep?"

"not yet."

"Then why didn't you go to QQ? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh." Guo Zisu said embarrassingly: "I was reading an article in the newspaper supplement, and I was fascinated, so I didn't turn on the computer."

Reporter Wang immediately became happy and said, "No wonder Boss Lin said he wanted you to write for his newspaper supplement. It seems that you are very attentive. Okay, very good, I give you a thumbs up."

Guo Zisu said sincerely: "Thank you, but now I don't have any confidence at all. It seems that life is a stagnant pool with nothing to express. I also feel that I am very dull, and I have no potential to feel sad for Yue."

"You don't have the potential to be sad?" Reporter Wang blurted out disapprovingly: "You came back from Qingshi Village that day, although you participated in a lively wedding, your eyes were swollen. You were there for the dead village Did the woman cry a lot?"

Guo Zisu felt that the wound deep in her heart that she had been trying to avoid had been torn apart heartlessly with a giggle. She felt in a trance, bit her lip, held the phone, and let the tears flow The ground flowed down, unable to speak.

Seeing that she was silent, Reporter Wang paused for a while, and then said, "Are you lost in thought? Okay, I won't bother you anymore. You should quickly write down your inner feelings at the moment. The essay will be handed over to Boss Lin tomorrow." .” As he spoke, he chuckled triumphantly and hung up the phone.

Guo Zisu knew that he was not laughing at her sadness, and it was impossible for him to realize how sad she was.What he laughed was that he himself taught her another way to find emotions, and it worked.

Why, there are many friends around, but the soul is so lonely?

Guo Zisu lay down on the table, tears streaming down her sleeves, soon soaking her sleeves.

At this moment, Liang Shi's message came: Zisu, have you returned from Qingshi Village?You and Sister Chunhua had a good time and forgot about me.He made a droopy-eyed expression.

Guo Zisu pondered for a long time before replying: Uncle Bone and Minced Meat both said they missed you a little bit, and Sister Chunhua left.

After she finished sending the message, she was about to put down her phone, but Liang Shi called, and he said nervously, "Zisu, you have to persuade Sister Chunhua to come back quickly, minced meat starts school, no one cares what to do."

Guo Zisu held back tears, turned on the computer, logged on to QQ, and asked, "Liang Shi, what is your QQ number? I will add you."

"You have a computer to go online? Not bad, add me quickly." Liang Shi told Guo Zisu his number, and said, "I'm still looking at medical records in the hospital, and I'll look for you online when I get back."

Guo Zisu was afraid that he would ask about Sister Chunhua again, and she might cry to him.She hoped to wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and then talk to him slowly when she could face this matter calmly.So he changed the subject and said, "I might take a break later, you can come to me another day. How is your work? Has the patient with toothache and leg pain been discharged from the hospital?"

"He left that afternoon. Haha." Liang Shi laughed happily. "He saw that he couldn't hide it from us, so he was too embarrassed to pretend anymore. His wife is a bit snobby. When Mi Bo said that I told the provincial leaders Familiar, wow, how polite you are to me."

Guo Zisu also smiled happily, and said, "I know you can eat anywhere, haha."

Hearing what she said, Liang Shi felt a little embarrassed, paused, and asked with concern: "By the way, what grade do you teach now, and do you have many lessons?"

Guo Zisu took a deep breath and said, "I'm not teaching now. I'm working in the school's publicity department, doing reception, writing reports and so on. You know, this is trying to drive ducks to the shelves. Now this duck is immersed in studying every day. running on a completely unfamiliar road."

After hearing this, Liang Shi immediately understood that it was all due to Reporter Wang.He felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.

After being silent for a long while, he said, "Zisu, be at peace with whatever happens."

Seeing that Guo Zisu didn't say a word, he knew that she was acquiescing, so he said, "Go to rest early, I will also be busy with the hospital, tomorrow's classes are full."

Guo Zisu wandered around the Internet for a while, curiously opened a forum that Reporter Wang put in his favorites, went in and took a look, there were many columns in it, publishing novels, prose, poetry and pictures, and there was also a special flash column. She clicked on a song casually, and the melodious singing voice was accompanied by exquisite pictures, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.

She listened to the music and read the forum posts with great interest, all of which were records of the life of the posters or expressions of emotions, and some posts also triggered a large number of replies.There are also some people who may be too idle, pour water repeatedly, and make fun of others.

Guo Zisu looked at it, and his depressed mood was swept away.Thoughts seem to have returned to the student days, unrestrained, laughing heartily.

She rested her chin in thought for a moment, opened her office, and wrote a short essay on the topic of "Spring".

I repeatedly revised, polished, and expanded the content, and finally filled the [-] words that I am more satisfied with.

The next day, Guo Zisu expanded and polished the [-]-character prose and transcribed it.After get off work, I walked excitedly to the county party committee compound with it.

Lin Xuan had obviously left work, and the office door was locked.Guo Zisu looked through the window, walked over, took out the envelope containing the essay, looked at it, smiled mischievously, and stuffed it into the door of the newspaper office.
