"Deep Space" is not short in length. Yu Dong plans to write about 400,000 words. He currently writes about 7,000 to 8,000 words every day. Sometimes he may not be able to write so many words when he is busy with work.
After all, it will take about two months to finish this novel.
He planned to wait until he was halfway through writing the book and ask Yiliang to help him deliver the manuscript to Chengdu to see if it would be serialized this time. After all, it was too long and "Science Fiction World" might not be able to handle it.
The school sports meeting lasts for two days in total. Excluding the opening ceremony, it only lasts for one and a half days.
On the evening of the next day, Qu Aiguo went to Yudong to report the situation.
"Brother Dong, fortunately we have lived up to our mission. We won three cards this year and set a record of 91 for Gongmei."
He bent down and presented the three medals in a pretentious manner.
"What a weird look." Yu Dong took the medal and looked at it. There were two field medals, one gold, one bronze, and one track bronze.
In fact, Yu Dongdu knew the result, and he paid attention to the whole process. Their class performed exceptionally this year, winning bronze medals in the women's 3,000 meters and the women's discus.
Yu Dong even went to watch the women's discus throw event. There were only a few participants in this event, only about ten in total, and half of them couldn't even throw the discus forward.
The remaining five or six people competed against each other, and in the end Yang Xiuyun of their class won the bronze medal with a slight advantage.
"It's a pity for women's discus." Qu Aiguo sighed, "Yang Xiuyun's result is only about 20 centimeters away from the championship. If I had taken her to train earlier, I would definitely have won the championship."
"Don't be an afterthought. Now that the sports meeting is over, you have to take it easy. Now that you are in the third grade, you should think about some things carefully. Are there any students in the class who want to take the postgraduate entrance examination? If so, you must start preparing now.
Already."
"Li Huixiang said he wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but I haven't heard anything else. I'll do some statistics later to see which students are taking the postgraduate entrance examination." Qu Aiguo rubbed his hands, "Brother Dong, there is one more thing I want to ask you for."
"What's the matter?" Yu Dong returned the medal to Qu Aiguo.
Qu Aiguo took the medal and said with a smile: "That's right. For the students who won the medals, should the class give out some extra prizes to encourage them?"
"Do you still want to ask me about this matter? Didn't you handle it in the past years? Let's follow the old rules."
"Brother Dong, this is a good old practice. In the past two years, we distributed notebooks and pens, but now everyone's vision is getting higher and higher. They can't get enough enthusiasm to distribute notebooks and pens again."
"Weren't you the only one who won the award in previous years? Weren't you the one holding the notebook or the pen?"
"Yes, I was the only one who won medals in previous years, so it doesn't matter if I give them something. This year is different. Two classmates also won medals. It's such a happy thing. It doesn't look like giving them notebooks and pens. But what if
It's not a good idea to give away something expensive. Everyone pays for the class fee one by one, and it's not much in the first place. If too much is spent on this, I'm afraid the public will be upset."
Yu Dong turned sideways, looked at Qu Aiguo, and asked him with interest: "Then what do you want to do when you come to me? Do you want me to solve the funding problem for you, or do you want me to think of a solution for you that doesn't cost money?"
Doesn’t it look like a cheap prize?”
"Hey, it's not the case. Brother Dong, I've already thought about it for you. Why don't you give each of the award-winning classmates a signed book?"
"Then how about dividing it into different levels, with three copies for gold medals, two copies for silver medals, and one copy for bronze medals?"
"That's good." Qu Aiguo said with a smile on his face.
"What a fart. Let's not talk about whether my signed book can be regarded as a reward. Let me ask you, if I give you a signed book, is it considered a reward from me or a reward from the class?"
"Hey, aren't they all the same? Aren't our classes all yours?"
Yu Dong said with a face, "Who told you that this class belongs to me? It belongs to the school, to all of us, and to the collective."
Qu Aiguo raised his eyes and looked at Yu Dong, wondering if this matter had to be so serious. However, seeing that Yu Dong's expression was quite serious, he didn't dare to retort, so he nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Dong."
Yu Dong also wanted to laugh when he saw Qu Aiguo's deflated look, but he was not joking with Qu Aiguo about the collective and individual issues. It was not that he was reluctant to part with the three books, but he wanted Qu Aiguo to understand that collective and individual should not be confused.
.
"Okay, later you go ask Yang Xiuyun and the others if they want my autographed book. If so, come and get it together."
Qu Aiguo said in surprise: "Didn't you say..."
"This is a gift from me personally. It has nothing to do with the class. The prizes distributed by the class will also be distributed as usual."
Qu Aiguo's big smile turned into a flower, "Thank you, Brother Dong."
"You're welcome, but remember what I said, what's collective is collective, and what's personal is personal. You are now the squad leader and the president of the association, so you should know this even more."
Qu Aiguo's heart skipped a beat. Only now did he realize that this was what Yu Dong was going to say.
"Brother Dong, I know, I won't let you down."
…
The next morning, Yu Dong dressed himself up, put on decent clothes, and went to Cheng Yanqiu's house with two bottles of Wuliangye and some other gifts.
Cheng Yanqiu's home is on Anren Street, only a few hundred meters away from the place where she last met her mother.
Standing at the door, Yu Dong straightened his body, cleared his throat, and then knocked on the door.
The door was opened halfway first, Cheng Yanqiu revealed his head, and whispered: "You are here, listen to me, there is a special situation today, not only my parents, but also my grandparents are here. My grandfather and the others were in his hometown in Wuxian County recently.
I heard my mother tell you that you must come over and have a look. My grandpa is a very aggressive person, so be careful when you chat with him. My grandma is fine. And..."
Cheng Yanqiu also wanted to say that her mother Chen Yuqing's voice came from inside the house: "Luoluo, why does it take so long to open the door? Is Yu Dong here?"
"Oh, it's coming."
When Yu Dong looked at Cheng Yanqiu at first, he thought there was an emergency, but it turned out that it was just his grandparents who were here. What's the matter? He is the best at getting along with the elderly.
Cheng Yanqiu's house is not small, and you have to walk through a small corridor to reach the living room.
There are three people standing and one person sitting in the living room at the moment. Without Cheng Yanqiu's introduction, Yu Dong can tell who is who at a glance. The relationship between the characters is very simple.
"Uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma." Yu Dong bent down and said hello.
Chen Yuqing said with a smile: "Come here and bring any gifts. Luoluo, didn't I ask you to tell Yu Dong that you don't need to bring anything, just come?"
"He insisted on taking it."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "A little thought."
Chen Yuqing took the things from Yu Dong's hand, and Cheng Liye called Yu Dong over: "Yu Dong, come and sit down, Luoluo, go get a glass of water."
After Yu Dong sat down, he realized that his seat was sandwiched by several of them, and an invisible pressure suddenly surged over him.
The main pressure comes from Cheng Yanqiu's grandfather. This old man's temperament is completely different from that of other people in the family. From the time Yu Dong came in until now, the old man has not smiled. He has been staring at Yu Dong with a scrutinizing gaze, and he was the only one just now.
He was the one who didn't stand up.
The old man was not tall, but he was quite imposing. He looked at Yu Dong not as if he were looking at a person, but as if he was looking at something.
