Six Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Go Home

"It is estimated that it will take more than a week to send it from us to Shanghai, and then the "Harvest" magazine will have to review manuscripts for a while, and arrange the time for publication. It may be a month or two at the earliest. Don't worry about it. I'm too anxious." The letter was stuffed in, and Tian Xiaoxia was afraid that he would be too worried, so she comforted him.

"It's okay. This is my first novel. It's the best to be liked by the editor of "Harvest". It doesn't matter if you call back. Aren't there still so many magazines?" Shen Long's mind is very peaceful. Already on the right path, and not eagerly looking forward to success.

The two walked side by side to the family courtyard of the prefectural committee again as before. Tian Xiaoxia felt that this weekend and Shen Long had been very fulfilling for two days, and her mood became more cheerful. She even hummed a song in a low voice, following her singing , the footsteps gradually became progressive.

"Then next Saturday, I'll go find you again." Tian Xiaoxia made a solemn agreement before parting at the gate of the prefectural committee's family courtyard. At this time, she began to look forward to rain on Saturday again, because if it rained, Shaoping would be in danger. There's no way to get a job so they can spend almost the whole day together.

No, no, Xiaoxia, you can’t be too selfish, Shaoping is getting paid for a day’s work now, and his money for eating, drinking, ink, and manuscript paper will all come from here; forget it this time, wait a minute When the week goes by, I'll bring him some manuscript paper, and his pen seems to be a bit jerky, so I'll pick a better one later.

However, on another Saturday afternoon, when Tian Xiaoxia came outside the cave dwelling with thick manuscript paper, books borrowed from the library, and a newly bought Hero brand pen, she saw that the cave dwelling door was locked tightly. Shen Long gave her the key to open the door and went in, only to see that the books and manuscript paper on the table had been taken away, only a note left for her.

"Xiaoxia, I'm sorry, I received a letter from my family a few days ago to go back to Shuangshui Village. It should not be an important matter. Don't worry. I went to the prefectural committee twice to find you and you were not there. I can only leave you a message here. I guess I won’t stay for a few days when I go back this time, and I’ll be back soon. I’ll go to the prefectural committee’s family courtyard to find you! Oh, by the way, there’s a newly written beginning in the drawer, please help me The ax is right! Shaoping stays."

go home? Did something happen to Shaoping's family? Tian Xiaoxia immediately became nervous. Although he wrote it in the letter, it doesn't matter, but in general, who would write a letter to let him go back if there is nothing wrong with the family? It's not easy to go back. The ticket costs several yuan, which is enough for the family to spend for a long time.

Tian Xiaoxia put away the note, got up and went to look for Jin Bo. Among the classmates in Huangyuan in Xi County, Jin Bo had the best relationship with Shaoping. Jin Bo must know what happened to Shaoping's family.

They all walked to the door, Xiaoxia thought about it and came back to take the manuscript from the drawer. She didn't care about the content of the manuscript, so she hurried out and walked to the Dongguan post office. Talking to his father Jin Junhai, Xiaoxia was relieved.

Jin Junhai often drove the mail car back to the original Xi County,

If something happened to Shaoping's family, he would know it, and Jin Bo would know it if he knew it. Seeing Jin Bo's happy look, it must be nothing wrong, otherwise Jin Bo would have gone back to help a long time ago, and he would still be as happy as he is now ?

Xiaoxia was a little disappointed that she couldn't see Shaoping today, but when she thought of the manuscript in her bag, Xiaoxia became happy again, and hurried back without saying hello to Jin Bo, she was eager to read this new story right away.

Back home, sitting at the desk, Tian Xiaoxia solemnly took out the manuscript and flipped through it. The name of this story is "Old Well", and the beginning is as follows:

In the depths of the vast Hengshan Mountains, there is a small Qinglong River. This river finally flows out of the deep mountains and merges into the Wuding River; Small mountain depression; in this small mountain depression, a small mountain village is embedded, called "Old Well".

It was a rainy and foggy morning, and in the small yard by the potter's wheel well at the east end of the village, there appeared a woman carrying water in the early morning, with a flowered handkerchief on her head, a small pole across her head, and a pair of squeaky buckets hanging on it. Walk leisurely towards the back mountain.

This story is also related to Zhang Yimou. This novel was later adapted into a movie. Zhang Yimou played the leading role and won the Hundred Flowers Award, the Golden Rooster Award and the leading actor at the Tokyo Film Festival for the role of Sun Wangquan. Before becoming a director, Lao Mouzi, He has already achieved great success in the two fields of cameraman and actor.

This story tells that the ancestors of Laojing Village on the Loess Plateau could not dig a sweet water well for generations, and the old people pinned their hope of digging wells on the young people.

Qiaoying, a handsome rural girl, had to return to her hometown to work in agriculture after failing the college entrance examination. She was passionately in love with Sun Wangquan, a boy from the same village. The two had a common ambition to yearn for the world outside the mountains, and they often looked forward to a bright future together.

But things are not what people want. In exchange for Wang Quan’s younger brother Wang Cai’s marriage money, Master Wan Shui insisted that he be the son-in-law of the young widow Xifeng. Ren Qiaoying and Wang Quan decide to run away from home and betray their arranged marriage. Master Wan Shui is furious when he finds out, smashes pots and cans, and insists on stopping them...

There is also a story about leading the villagers to dig wells and finally let the villagers drink sweet water, but Shen Long has not written it yet...

Tian Xiaoxia was immersed in the story, and at this time, Shen Long had returned to Shuangshui Village. When he received the letter a few days ago, Jin Bo was still worried about him, but Shen Long didn't have too many worries. He knew that Yuhou The old man asked him to go home this time to discuss the separation of the family.

After finding the foreman and paying the wages, Shen Long changed into new clothes from head to toe, went for a haircut, and then went to the department store to buy a piece of clothing for everyone in the family, and bought a lot of food. The rotten yellow bag was obviously I couldn’t carry it back, so I bought a big new canvas bag. It’s always like this for people who go out to work hard. Well done outside!

This is not just vanity, but also to prevent the family from worrying about it. Except for Jin Bo and Tian Xiaoxia, no one knows that he is working in Huangyuan. If the old man Yuhou finds out, he will definitely be worried.

Taking Jin Junhai's free ride, Jin Junhai couldn't stop thanking Shen Long for finding a job for Jin Bo, but it could be heard that Jin Junhai didn't regard this as a real job. In his plan, Jin Bo did this first Just deal with it for a year or two, save some money, and then when I get older, I will retire and let Jin Bo take over.

A few hours later, the dear village of Twin Waters was in sight.
