Chapter 642 643 [Go to Yinchuan] (addition for book friend Universe Galaxy Legend)
After "Monument" was sent out, half a month later, Xiang Nan received a reply letter from October Magazine.
The manuscript has been successfully accepted, and I look forward to continuing to submit manuscripts, and a remuneration of 8,600 yuan will be attached.
"How much??!" Shuihua felt dazzled again when he saw the large string of numbers on it.
In the early 1990s, ten thousand yuan households were still a rarity. Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan's two articles had already made their family a million-dollar household.
"Yong Fuer, you are really amazing~" She excitedly gave Xiang Nan a big hug.
"Shuihua, I want to discuss something with you~" Xiang Nan also put his arms around her and said.
"What's the matter?" Shui Hua asked curiously.
"Let's move, to Yinchuan." Xiang Nan said.
Shuihua was taken aback for a moment.
"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing that Shuihua didn't respond, Xiang Nan asked suspiciously.
"No, I'm so happy!" Shui Hua said excitedly.
Two months ago, she did not hesitate to run away from marriage because she wanted to go to the city and live the life of a city dweller. Now, she was finally able to go to the city, how could she be unhappy.
"Then it's settled." Xiang Nan nodded, "Let's go to Yinchuan."
Actually, he really wanted to go to Yinchuan in real life. So he likes the name of this city, how beautiful the big river made of silver is!
…
After making the decision to move, Xiang Nan began to prepare for it.
He gave An Guomin and Niu Xiu 2,000 yuan to persuade them to participate in the hoisting project and emigrate to Jintan Village.
"Dad, if you take the money over there, it will be enough to build a house and prepare the land. It's close to the water source, so it's convenient for farming. It's close to the farm and county town, so it's easy to work. It's close to the railway and highway, so the transportation is also convenient. It's better than staying in this poor mountain village, where you can't even get water.
Besides, Jintan Village is not far from Yinchuan, and I can still go home from time to time. But if you stay in Bitterwater Village, I won't be able to come back often. "Xiang Nan advised An Guomindao.
"However, I heard people from Diaozhuang say that life there is hard." An Guomin frowned, "The land is all sand and gravel, and the wind blows all year round, and it blows endlessly, and mosquitoes are bigger than birds. ...why would we bother to leave our homes and work and go there?"
"Dad, listen to me, Diaozhuang immigration is a government project, the government will not lie to us." Xiang Nan persuaded, "Besides, poor people can't be short-sighted, so what's the point of staying in this valley.
Eating relief food all year round, I can't even afford white flour buns, and drinking water tastes like earth... Such a hard life, when will it be the end.
Diaozhuang immigration was difficult at the beginning, but it will be fine if you get over it. Besides, don't you still have me? I am in Yinchuan, I can visit you all the time, and I can help you with anything.
But you have to stay in Kushui Village, hundreds of kilometers away, I can't come back often. At that time, if there is something at home, I may not be able to help. "
An Guomin took a deep breath of dry tobacco, and finally nodded.
Son is right. Staying in the ravine seems safe, but life is really hard, and there is no rush at all. There is no difference between living a day and living a lifetime. Diaozhuang immigrants, there is always hope.
Besides, if he stays in the poor valley, his son won’t come back several times a year, and he won’t have a chance to take advantage of him. But the second child, the third child, the fourth child, and even the old couple will still have to point at him in the future.
…
"Dad, you should immigrate to Diaozhuang too. Dad also agreed to immigrate, and when he gets there, he will take care of him." Xiang Nan persuaded Li Laoshuan.
When Li Laoshuan heard this, he frowned, "I heard that it is very bitter there. There is nothing to eat, nothing to drink, and even a house to live in. Li Dayou, Wuzuo, and Shuanmen all went to Ecun, and they all ran back. , so you don’t have to suffer that crime.”
"Dad, if you want to go, I will pay you to build a house and hire someone to prepare the land for you." Xiang Nan persuaded, "Dad, go. If you don't go, you will go to Yinchuan in equal amount and water, far away from us. I can't take care of you anymore."
After hearing what he said, Li Laoshuan was finally relieved.
If the son-in-law builds a house for him and prepares the land for him, then he will have an extra house and a few acres of land out of thin air. That fool will not go. Besides, if you don't immigrate, you will be far away from your son-in-law, and he will really be out of luck.
…
After persuading Li Laoshuan, Xiang Nan came to Teacher Bai's house again, "Mr. Bai, I have good news for you. My article was accepted by "October."
"Really?! Oh~" Teacher Bai was very happy when he heard it.
He has heard of the name of "October" magazine, which is the top journal in the field of literature, much higher than "Story Club".
It is really great that Xiang Nan's article can be accepted by "October". This shows that his literary attainments are really high enough to gain a foothold in the literary world.
"Yong Fuer, I really want to congratulate you." Teacher Bai smiled.
"Mr. Bai, this is also thanks to you. Without your real deeds, I can't write such a good story." Xiang Nan laughed, "I'm here today, first to tell you the good news, and second, to tell you the good news. Give this money to you."
As he spoke, he took out a wad of money and handed it to Mr. Bai.
"Oh, what did you say? How can this work?" Teacher Bai quickly evaded when he saw it.
"Teacher Bai, without you, this article would not exist. It was you who inspired me, inspired me, so you must ask for the money." Xiang Nan insisted.
"No, no, you wrote the article, I didn't help you at all, I can't ask for this money." Teacher Bai still refused.
"It must be accepted." Xiang Nan forced the money into his hand, "Teacher Bai, this money is for you, you can spend it however you like. Whether you buy books or let the wheat seedlings take the exam, give it to the village It’s good to add tables and chairs to the school…”
Ms. Bai really refused, and finally accepted it, "Well, I will treat the money as your donation to the school. At that time, buy a few more sets of desks and chairs for the students."
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.
In addition to sending money, Shuihua also brought all the books at home to Mr. Bai.
In the future, a village-run library will be set up, so that the villagers can also have spiritual entertainment.
…
Two days later, Xiang Nan and Shuihua set off for Haiji County, and then took a bus in the county to Yinchuan.
In the 1990s, the expressway had not yet been repaired, and the long-distance vehicles basically ran on dirt roads and asphalt roads. The road was bumpy and bumpy. After running for nearly six hours, they finally arrived in Yinchuan.
"Oh, this is Yinchuan~" Shuihua looked at the high-rise buildings and shops along the way, and couldn't help admiring, "It's so beautiful~"
Xiang Nan smiled. In his opinion, the current Yinchuan is not as beautiful as his hometown, the 18th-tier county.
Although it is already the 1990s, the number of high-rise buildings, street layout planning, people's clothing, and the means of transportation on the road...are still relatively backward.
But it is precisely because of this that it breeds endless business opportunities and wealth. Otherwise, they are all developing very well, so is there any need for him?
