the other side.
After leaving the Xiao family, mother and son separated.
Taking advantage of the market today, there were many chickens for sale, so Tian Run'e planned to buy 12 feathered chickens to take home.
Originally, in rural areas, many families used their own eggs to hatch eggs in order to save money.
But Lao Li's family is good at feeding pigs and cows, but when it comes to chickens, ducks and geese, they are a bit unlucky.
Not only is the hatching rate low, but the survival rate is also shockingly low. Out of 12 chickens, only five or six chicks can survive, which is good.
For this reason, the neighbors in the village are joking and saying: God has eyes, this is only fair, you can't let your old Li family pinch you in everything.
Li Heng had a clear goal and went straight to the newsstand next to the old station.
Find the submission address of a literary magazine.
As expected, although Qianzhen is a town, not even a small city, there are all the magazines that should be found in the newsstand.
The variety was even more complete than he imagined.
It didn't take long for Li Heng to browse through the submission addresses of many famous literary magazines such as "People's Literature", "Harvest", "October", "Contemporary" and "Flower City".
The owner of the newsstand is a bearded man in his 50s. I noticed Li Heng for a while and saw him flipping through one book and another one at a time. He went through all the books and took notes in the process, but he didn’t mention buying them.
I suddenly felt a little impatient.
He deliberately knocked on the cigarette pole and said: "Hey! I said to you, this is not a library. These magazines are for sale. How can I sell them after you have refurbished them?"
Do you want to buy it or not? If not, go somewhere else and don’t block it here."
Hearing these unfriendly words, Li Heng, who knew he was in the wrong, didn't mind and instead picked up a copy of "Story Club".
Asked: "Uncle, how much does this cost?"
Lian Xuhu was still a little impatient and replied casually: "Sanmao."
Li Heng counted three cents from his pocket and handed them over: "Here is one."
Seeing him paying in real money, Lian Xuhu's attitude immediately softened a lot. He took the money and asked out of curiosity:
"What are you using for copying so many submission addresses?"
"Oh, well, I had a dream yesterday afternoon. I dreamed that I became a great writer. Let's try my luck today." Li Heng has a skill, that is, just open his mouth and speak.
With a beard and a cigarette holder, he looked him up, down, left, and right. Seeing that he didn't learn well at such a young age and only daydreamed, his baggy eyelids suddenly drooped and he lost interest.
The post office is opposite the old station, not far away, just across a road.
Entering the lobby of the post office, he suddenly felt a little confused. Due to time constraints, he had only prepared two manuscripts of the first 40,000 words of "Alive".
There were so many submission addresses copied, and they were all famous names, that it was difficult to choose for a while.
In his previous life, he loved reading. In his spare time, he would occasionally write articles and publish them in newspapers. He had also heard about the four famous actors in "Contemporary", "Flower City" and "October".
But after all, it was just hearsay. He was not from the cultural circle and lacked sufficient understanding of the preferences and background of various literary magazines.
The most important thing is that because of the passage of time, he can't remember which magazine Chen Xiaomi works for?
The reason why he submitted his work as a writer this time was not only to make money to improve his family's conditions and gain fame to change the bad image of "Ximen Qing", but he also had the idea of ​​venting his bad temper.
Which magazine did Chen Xiaomi work for? After searching through his memory for a long time, he still couldn't find the magazine. Li Heng felt a little discouraged.
For a moment, he impulsively wanted to run back and catch Chen Zitong in conversation, asking her which unit her sister-in-law worked for?
But this thought just arose, and was extinguished in the next second. Forget it, I'm too lazy to run away, just let it go.
What's more, Chen Zitong has been nicknamed "Little Loach" since he was a child. He is very slippery. Now that the Chen and Li families are at odds, he is not so easy to fool.
Anyway, as long as the butterfly effect does not occur and the historical trajectory does not change, with the overwhelming fame of "Alive", Chen Xiaomi will know sooner or later that there is a real dragon in our old Li family.
After thinking about the submission addresses for a long time, Li Heng finally decided to submit his article to "People's Literature" and "Harvest".
He had heard the most gossip about "People's Literature". It was said that he was backed by the National Literature Publishing House and had a very special status in the domestic literary world. He was born with a golden key to the rich second generation.
For him who is ambitious, this is almost a must-have.
As for "Harvest", hey! It's not too particular, just because the name is pleasing to the eye, "Harvest, Harvest", the meaning is excellent.
Having made up his mind, Li Heng gave himself a pen name: December.
In order to ensure safety and quick results, Li Heng went extravagant and spent a lot of money to send the two manuscripts separately by postal parcel.
Afraid of confusing "People's Literature" and "Receipt", he checked it three times before sending it, and added a sentence at the end: If you are interested in publishing, please send back your contact phone number.
Thinking that school would start the day after tomorrow, he would go to Shao City. Instead of using his own home address for the mailing address, he filled in the address and landline number of his English teacher's home.
The reason why I use the English teacher is because in my memory, the other person lives in the school, is close to the class, and is good enough to him, so I naturally have a sense of trust.
When filling in the phone number of his English teacher's home, he secretly thanked God that he could still memorize the first phone number in his life.
885708
I can really recite it, just like the mobile phone number of my first love girlfriend. A lifetime has passed, Zhongtu has not deliberately recalled it, but it is still quietly hidden in my heart.
Watching the two mail packages being taken away by the staff, Li Heng suddenly had a potential worry in his mind: Will submitting a manuscript to multiple people offend others?
Who would dare to be so ignorant in future generations? The editor will teach you how to be a good person every minute and block you every minute.
But then his worries dissipated. The environment for receiving manuscripts these days is not easy, and information is not circulated. He, an unknown person, has submitted too many submissions and no one knows about it.
Even if you know it, you can understand it. After all, you are a complete novice, and the ignorant are fearless.
Or, people may not even care at all.
Of course, if you become famous in the future, you will definitely not be able to do this because it would be a taboo.
After coming out of the post office, Li Heng instinctively went to the farmer's market. In his impression, Comrade Tian Run'e often likes to buy things here because there are many things of the same category, and he can compare products and negotiate prices.
After searching for a while, I found someone in an area selling clothing.
"Xuemei, we are all old acquaintances. We often buy clothes from you. Can this set of clothes be any less?"
As soon as he passed by, Li Heng saw his mother stretching a set of white casual clothes with her hands. She inspected it very carefully, not even missing the stitches.
"Run'e, this is already the best deal. It's precisely because we are old friends who have known each other for decades that I didn't tell you the price. Look at this style and touch the material. It costs 13 yuan elsewhere.
Can I buy it?"
