087 Contribution

Chen Zhaodi was both curious and surprised when she saw it.

So many beautiful clothes.

That red dress looks really nice, but it doesn't have sleeves!

It's so embarrassing to have two bare arms.

Also, I was actually photographed on the girl’s bra, and there was also a woman’s back on the picture, and yes, a woman taking a bath!

Ah...it's so embarrassing.

Chen Zhaodi blushed and quickly lowered her head.

"How about it, is the red skirt beautiful? You can buy one next summer too." Xia Hongjun suddenly said in Chen Zhaodi's ear.

"I...I don't want it." Chen Zhaodi's voice was like a mosquito. Only then did Xia Hongjun realize that she was lowering her head and didn't look at it.

It turned out that the scene was a female worker taking a bath... she just showed her shoulders.

What is this?

It's not even suitable for a child.

Xia Hongjun smiled secretly in his heart.

But, it's very cute.

On the way back to school after watching the movie, Chen Zhaodi followed Xia Hongjun without saying a word, and she felt a little guilty.

Alas...How could he be invited to watch such a movie?

Too shameful!

Will he think I'm broken?

I was uneasy.

The weather became colder day by day. It was already the end of November. The boys and girls were wearing thick cotton jackets and wrapped like pandas. Xia Hongjun put on military coats again. He always felt that the winter of the 1980s was particularly cold.

Fortunately, the classrooms and dormitories of Normal University are all heated!

It's just that kind of water, the heat is weak and the water leaks often. The dormitory and classroom often show the scene of water flooding the golden mountains. But it's always better than nothing, so lying on the radiator to read books became Xia Hongjun's favorite.

Apart from the courses that cannot be escaped, he tries not to go out without leaving the house and stays in the dormitory. In the middle of winter, he likes to be a hibernating bear.

But although there was no class this afternoon, the wind was cold outside, and snowflakes were rising, so he didn't go out.

After a year of typing, his "Love of Hawthorn Tree" has finally been completed!

There are nearly 150,000 words in total, and 16 compositions have been written. The thick stack looks quite accomplished.

He is going to contribute today.

In the early 1980s, the domestic novel publishing industry was prosperous, with nearly a hundred literary magazines alone! The most famous ones here are several major magazines such as "Contemporary" and "Harvest".

Xia Hongjun aimed at "Contemporary".

"Contemporary" is very awesome. It has published a large number of excellent novels such as "Furong Town", "Ancient Boat", "White Deer Plain" and "Old Well". Among them, nearly one-third of the famous "Mao Dun Literature Award" won the works from "Contemporary".

This kind of big-name magazine in the contemporary literary world is of course very conducive to the distribution of their own novels and the expansion of influence.

But he didn't dare to submit his articles rashly.

Since 1984, the domestic literary world has been impacted by Western novels, and the illusion realism, stream of consciousness and other techniques have begun to be popular. Will his more traditional writing style no longer be popular?

He doesn't want to repeat Lu Yao's mistakes!

Lu Yao's hard-working work "Ordinary World" is still influential and has many fans even in the 21st century. The filming of the TV series of the same name a few years ago caused a huge sensation.

But at that time, the submission was rejected! The first one was "Contemporary"!,

After being rejected by mainstream magazines in succession, Lu Yao was forced to find the second-rate magazine "Flower City", which has the second most influential one. The embarrassing situation is that Lu Yao's second "Ordinary World" was rejected by "Flower City", and the third one could only be serialized in the very marginalized magazine "Yellow River".

When the novel "Ordinary World" was gradually recognized by readers, its influence became increasingly greater. In 1991, it won the "Mao Dun Literature Award", but at this time Lu Yao was poor and had no fare to receive the award.

Finally, his younger brother tried his best to borrow 5,000 yuan. When he sent Lu Yao to the train station, he said: "Don't win any prizes in the future. If you win the Nobel Prize, I won't find foreign exchange for you."

Lu Yao only said one sentence: "Damn the fuck literature"

He died of illness in 1992 and was only 42 years old at that time.

A man who won the Mao Dun Literature Award, a writer who sold 20 million books after his death, had no travel expenses to receive the award at that time and had no money to buy his own books. He was not only a friend in the literary world, but also paid off his debts!

Is this a wonderful irony?

By the way, now he is in the cold and small room of the gq County Guesthouse, writing the book "Ordinary World" day and night?

Maybe he has the ability to do something for him in the future? Xia Hongjun thought, wrapped his coat tightly and plunged into the cold wind.

What he is going to today is the "Poetry Magazine" magazine, preparing to find Shao Xiang.

He was a recruit in the novel world, but he had a certain influence in the poetry world. He wanted to find Shao Xiang and then build a bridge to the "Contemporary" magazine.

Both magazines are in Yanjing, both famous magazines in the literary world. As the deputy editor-in-chief of "Poetry Magazine", Shao Xiang was involved in the literary circle of Yanjing as soon as he graduated. He changed several magazines and is now a big shot. Xia Hongjun doesn't believe that he doesn't know people from "Contemporary" magazine.

With Shao Xiang's matchmaking, it is easy to be recognized by the "Contemporary" magazine. He believes that once this book is published, although it is not as awesome as "Ordinary World", it will not be too bad. Moreover, scar literature is still quite popular now.

He took the bus to the agricultural exhibition hall next to the East Third Ring Road. Xia Hongjun patted the snowflakes on his body, went directly to the third floor of the magazine, and knocked on Shao Xiang's office.

"Oh, Xiaoxia! Please sit down!" Shao Xiang stood up and greeted with a smile, pouring water for him again.

"I heard that Lao Kong said that you have been to Yan Normal University and have not been here for so long?"

"Editor Shao, there are many things to do just now... Am I here?" Xia Hongjun replied with a smile.

"It's not okay to come with empty hands! Where are the things you bring?"

Xia Hongjun knew that he wanted poetry.

This was prepared for a long time, so Xia Hongjun handed him the manuscript of the poem "Pastors".

Shao Xiang took it and looked carefully several times: "Ha, it's well written! Especially the last sentence "Although the wind is strong, it's bypassing my soul" is simply deafening! I decided to publish your poem next issue!"

"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Shao. I'm here to find you today. I still have something to ask you for your help review." After Xia Hongjun said that, he took out a thick stack of homework books from the small yellow bag he was carrying.

"This is a novel I wrote. Please help me with suggestions." Xia Hongjun respectfully placed a stack of manuscripts in front of Shao Xiang.

This kid actually started writing novels again?

Shao Xiang was a little surprised, but he still picked up the first homework book and started to look.

It turned out to be the literature of educated youth!

Shao Xiang just looked at it in general at the beginning, but the more he looked, the more he became more careful, and in the end he became fascinated.
