1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 59: One article after another, isn't this too productive? (Please read on)
"Lao Wang, you're here too! You can help review the manuscript!"

Feng's mother went straight into Liu Xinwu's office and found that Wang Shimin, the team leader of the editorial team, was also there, so she greeted him!
"Lao Liu, I have two manuscripts to submit, would you like to take a look?!"

Then he walked over and threw the thick stack of manuscripts in his hand on Liu Xinwu's desk, his face full of anticipation.

"Teacher Gu, you... Actually, I already criticized Xiao Yang and the others yesterday!" Liu Xinwu looked at the thick stack of manuscript paper, and the flesh on his face twitched constantly.

How much of a shock did Teacher Gu have yesterday to be so determined as to take out all the manuscripts that had been hidden in the bottom of her box? ?

Don't guess!
These manuscripts must have been written by Teacher Gu’s husband, Lao Feng.

Before, Liu Xinwu also coveted the batch of manuscripts in Lao Feng's hands. He thought that they would resume publication in October, and although he could not get the manuscripts from Lao Qian in his institute, at least he could get the manuscripts from Lao Feng.

Moreover, after Lao Feng's wife Pingfan came back, she partnered with Liu Xinwu to preside over the work of resuming publication of "October". He should not give consideration to others. His wife's unit is short of manuscripts for the resumption of publication, so shouldn't he at least provide some support with the manuscripts?

Unfortunately, no!
They have already resumed publication of the third issue in October, but till now I haven't seen even a single article written by Gu Xueqing's husband Lao Feng.

However, I didn't expect that Teacher Gu might have been so shocked yesterday that he actually took out all of Lao Feng's manuscripts that had been hidden in the bottom of the box.

There are so many manuscripts! Liu Xinwu was a little embarrassed. These manuscripts are good, but if we take them out just to show our anger, then forget it!
As soon as they published the manuscript in October, the couple started arguing with each other.

"Teacher Gu! Actually, I was too impatient! I, Old Liu, was provoked by Li Qingquan, so I hurriedly asked your young master to help inquire and arrange for articles, which led to this misunderstanding!"

"So the responsibility actually lies with me! It's me, Liu Xinwu, who is too impatient! I'm anxious for our October to achieve some results as soon as possible!"

"I'll reflect on it! Teacher Gu, we really don't need to be angry with each other! Our working atmosphere in October was pretty good, Teacher Gu, don't think too much about it!"

Then Liu Xinwu reflected on himself with shame and comforted Gu Xueqing.

"Old Liu, how could I be angry? Am I, Gu Xueqing, that angry?"

"Take a look at the manuscript first. This is the manuscript that my debt collector took a lot of effort to get. Take a look first!"

Why did Gu Xueqing want Liu Xinwu, a senior editor-in-chief, to apologize and reflect on what? The misunderstanding was originally caused by her, Gu Xueqing!

But that's not important anymore, now we just need to read the manuscript first! Gu Xueqing wanted to see if Liu Xinwu, who was so eager to write a manuscript, dared to publish it.

Anyway, her family member thinks Liu Xinwu is brave and he will definitely dare to publish this article.

"Okay! Let's look at the manuscripts first!" Liu Xinwu nodded, pretending to be surprised and asked, "Teacher Gu, so many manuscripts! Did you take out all the manuscripts in Old Feng's hands?!"

"It's not Lao Feng's! The manuscripts in his hand are very precious to him. He will be angry with anyone who dares to touch them!" Gu Xueqing laughed at herself and said, "Besides, Lao Feng has not written manuscripts in this area for a long time. He is doing academic research!"

"It's not Lao Feng's?! Then Teacher Gu, did you really get the manuscript?"

Liu Xinwu was surprised. It turned out that it was not the manuscript of her lover Lao Feng. Then Liu Xinwu thought of a possibility!
Did Teacher Gu really get the manuscript of Lao Xu, the author of "The Shepherd" from Yenching Literature?

Moreover, it is such a thick stack of manuscripts!
seriously! ?

"What do you think?" Gu Xueqing asked back, her face full of pride.

"Is this really the manuscript of the horse herder Lao Xu? There are so many!?"

Wang Shimin next to him also exclaimed, and quickly started to read the manuscripts. My goodness, it was such a thick stack of manuscripts, how long did it take for Lao Xu to write it! ?

And didn’t Li Qingquan say that Lao Xu, the author of “The Shepherd”, is a new writer?

How can a newcomer or new author be so patient and hold on to so many manuscripts without publishing or submitting them?

Cao Aiqin and Xiao Yang who came in to join in the fun were also surprised. Did Gu Xueqing really get the manuscript from Lao Xu, the author of The Wrangler?!
And Teacher Gu just said that there are two articles!

But it’s such a thick stack of manuscripts, and no matter how you look at it, there are definitely more than two articles!

"Hey, Lao Wang and Lao Liu, I have to make it clear in advance that I cannot guarantee that this manuscript is the manuscript of the horse herder Lao Xu!"

"You all know that my debt collector is too unreliable! Who knows if she gave me some classmate's manuscript to fool me? It's possible that it was from her classmate Cha Jianying!"

"So I can't guarantee whether the manuscript is authentic or not!"

"Anyway, this is the manuscript. Old Liu and Old Wang, you guys take a look at it. If it can be used, use it. If it can't, I'll return it. I suggest that my debt collector ask the manuscript to be submitted to Yanjing Literature!"

Gu Xueqing waved her hands repeatedly. If she was going to pretend, she had to pretend to the end. She would definitely not say all the words now.

That is to say, the manuscript has been requested for you. If you can use it, use it. If not, return it. The worst that can happen is that you can let Li Qingquan launch another satellite.

Of course, Feng's mother Gu Xueqing was just speaking angrily. If Liu Xinwu really didn't dare to go, she would not return it to Yenching Literature.

"Well... let's read the manuscript first!"

He was actually not sure whether it was the manuscript of the horse herder Lao Xu. The flesh on Liu Xinwu's face twitched again and he was muttering to himself.

If this is really as Teacher Gu said, that her unreliable daughter asked her classmates to write their manuscripts to make up the numbers, should he use them or not?

use?
If the manuscript is too bad, but the manuscript is so thick, it will cost a lot of money!
Need not?

Teacher Gu was already stimulated yesterday, and now she came here excitedly with such a thick stack of manuscripts. Wouldn't it embarrass her again if she didn't use them?
Liu Xinwu even glanced at Cao Aiqun and the others. So many eyes were watching them!
If the manuscript is bad, it will be returned to Teacher Gu... Liu Xinwu's heart was beating fast. He just hoped that Teacher Gu should review the manuscript and the quality would not be too bad. Teacher Gu's level is still very good, otherwise he would not have been assigned to be his partner and host the work in October.

Without further ado, let’s read the manuscript first!

"Well! Here are two manuscripts! One is a short story and the other is a novella. Lao Liu, you guys should read the short story first. The novella below is not finished yet!"

After saying this, Feng's mother simply walked over to a chair, sat down on it, and waited!

But as I waited, my eyelids began to droop. People who have stayed up late cannot force themselves to stay awake, and their buttocks cannot touch the chair!
Last night, Feng's mother was really amazing. She finished reading the novella in one breath and stayed up until one or two in the morning!

What's more, it was an unfinished novella, and it was interrupted at the most interesting parts, which made Feng's mother very itchy and she hardly slept well the whole night.

In her heart, she secretly hated her son-in-law, a peasant boy. How could he write such a good manuscript and not show it to her after he finished it?

Now, if she didn't have to go to work, she would have wanted to lock her son-in-law in the room and urge him to update!

"There's also a novella!?"

Liu Xinwu flipped through the manuscripts below and thought to himself, no wonder the stack is so thick, otherwise there must be more than ten short stories. Teacher Gu is going to arrange all their manuscripts for October and the whole of next year!
He immediately flipped through the pages again, picked out the short story at the top, and handed the novella at the bottom to Lao Wang next to him, asking them to read them one by one.

“This manuscript…”

Liu Xinwu just read the beginning and his heart was startled again. He wanted to say something but didn't. He continued reading with full concentration.

Wang Shimin looked up at Liu Xinwu, and seeing that he did not continue, he lowered his head to look at the novella in his hand.

Cao Aiqun and the others outside wanted to come over and see how the manuscript that Gu Xueqing had asked for was written.
Anyway, judging from Gu Xueqing's proud mood, it might not be a bad thing.

However, in the workplace, some people dared not treat Liu Xinwu, the editor-in-chief, as the editor-in-chief. Since Liu did not let them in to watch it together, they did not dare to watch it.

I could only stand at the door and watch, waiting for Lao Liu and the others to express their opinions.

Soon, Lao Liu's office fell into silence, with only the rustling sound of Liu Xinwu and others flipping through manuscripts.

Gu Xueqing couldn't sit still anymore!
If she sat down any longer, she might fall asleep and make a fool of herself, so she got up and walked around the office.

"Teacher Gu, here!"

The first review editor Xiao Yang was smart and quickly went back to the editorial office to help Feng's mother and made a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you! You guys go back to work first! Old Liu might need some time to read the manuscript!"

Even the short story in Lao Liu's hand has more than 30,000 words. If you really want to read it, it may take more than an hour or two to finish.

As for the novella in Lao Wang's hand, although it has not been completed yet, it has more than 100,000 words, let alone.

So Gu Xueqing took the tea bowl, talked to Xiao Yang and the others, and then she came out!
Waiting here is no different; she has other things to do.

……

"Xuemin, you may have to rewrite the manuscript! My mother will definitely not spit out the novella once it gets to her!"

Cheng Xuemin also sent Feng Jiayou to school and dropped her off at the Wusi Road intersection. Before they parted, Feng Jiayou said something to Cheng Xuemin.

The daughter she gave birth to knows herself well, and conversely, the youngest daughter of the Feng family also knows what kind of mother she has.

Her mother said yesterday that she would take a look at the novella first and make another comment after she finished.

But when she was about to go out today, she saw that her mother's briefcase was stuffed bulging with things. Apparently, her mother had even taken the novella to work!

That would be like a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth and a meat bun hitting a dog. Can we still give it back to them?

Don't even think about it!

So her husband had to quickly start the second plan and help Zhang Dening of Yenching Literature write another manuscript.

"Let's wait and see what mom says today! I'll finish the manuscript of this novella first!"

Cheng Xuemin nodded and responded first, but he was really cursing in his heart, you mother and daughter can't rob like this!

One article after another, writing one article after finishing one, just say it's robbery!
Originally, Cheng Xuemin was secretly working on his work, secretly submitting his manuscripts to other publications, and secretly saving his royalties into his own piggy bank.

But he was there all day long, and he had to pay the public grain tax to the mother and daughter, so the amount of food he had left for himself was limited.

They, mother and daughter, are still squeezing him one by one, so he can forget about replenishing his small treasury. Isn't this robbery?
"That's fine, you should change your mind first, but my mom and the others won't be in urgent need of this novella in October, so it won't be published until after the New Year anyway!"

"I said my mom was overbearing. She could have given this novella to Yanjing Literature first. Why did they keep so many manuscripts in their monthly magazine? If they had the time, your subsequent manuscripts would have been published long ago!"

Thinking about the fact that her mother has two manuscripts in her hands, and it is impossible for her mother to give them two articles in one issue of October, why not let them submit them directly to Yenching Literature if they are hoarding them?
The couple are still waiting to earn a lot of money from this novella, and are looking for a house to move out before the winter vacation and the New Year!
