The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 120 The temptation of money is too great

After being teased, the women blushed and finally retorted with their necks stiff, "Don't bully us here. You don't have a daughter, otherwise you would want her more than anyone else!"

The woman didn't care about being bullied. "Whether I have a daughter or not, I'm not like you. At least I won't gossip about others behind their backs."

"Unlike you, you only get close to others when there is benefit, and step on others when there is no benefit. You are so realistic that no one likes you."

Having said that, he didn't bother to look at their expressions and walked away.

Just like they said, she doesn't have a daughter and won't miss anyone, so what is there to envy?

As long as there is food to eat at home and life can be comfortable, it's enough.

Chen Huaiyang was unaware of the talk he was having, and he returned to the educated youth point after work. There were no secrets in the brigade, and he earned 40 yuan from his submitted manuscript, and the news spread instantly.

Not only the comrades from the educated youth point, but even the team members who were married or had new wives came.

So when he returned to the educated youth point, he was greeted by everyone's gazes, with a hint of desire and urgency in their eyes.

The temptation of money is too great.

Eight dollars for a manuscript!
It's just a matter of writing. Who doesn't want to have the opportunity to make money? Being able to add some income to the family is a great thing.

Chen Huaiyang looked at them and instantly saw the expectation in their eyes. He did not want to hide it and said it openly.

"I submitted my article to the Oriental Newspaper Company, and wrote something funny and eye-catching."

"When people are idle, they want to read something to kill time. Some high-quality articles that can attract people's attention will retain their attention."

"You can indicate your address and try submitting two manuscripts. What if you have talent in this area?"

The educated youth looked at him and asked shamelessly, "Comrade Chen, can we take a look at the manuscript you wrote?"

"This way we can have some direction and not be running around like a headless fly."

Upon hearing this unreasonable request, all the educated youth looked at each other and then at Lin Zhen. Why should they let others refer to the manuscript they wrote with their own abilities?

Think about it from another perspective. You are the one who makes money, so who would be willing to contribute?

Chen Huaiyang shrugged, not afraid of their reference. He took out a scrap of manuscript that he had written earlier and was not very satisfied with, and handed it to them for them to browse.

"I wrote this earlier, but I didn't feel satisfied with it, so I didn't send it out. You can read it if you want!"

Then he walked around them and went back to the room.

I felt better only after changing my wet clothes.

It’s tiring enough to work in this weather, and it will be even more unbearable after a while!
Then I went into the kitchen, Tian Dong was already busy. He had cooked millet porridge in the morning. This thing can nourish the stomach, and it feels smooth and comfortable when you drink it.

We can just steam some more steamed buns and have them ready to eat.

Tian Dong looked at him and smiled, "You are really willing to do this. You can just tell others about your money-making job."

Chen Huaiyang shrugged, "What else? They're blocking my door."

"Do you believe it? If I don't tell you, people will definitely spread rumors about me being stingy!"

"It's a matter of one's own ability. Once the manuscript is submitted, it's not me who helps to review it. If it can be accepted and make money, it's their ability."

"It doesn't matter to me, I can just write if I want to!"

They were all educated youth who had gone to the countryside. They all had knowledge and felt they had abilities. Who wouldn’t want to give it a try?

In that case, let’s give it a try!
After trying it, those who are capable can develop in this direction and improve their lives.

Those who don't have this talent will naturally retreat after failure. After all, letters sent out also need stamps. You can't not make money and keep spending money! Tian Dong gave him a thumbs up. There are many people who can live so openly. It's hard not to admire them for being so transparent and understanding human nature.

"To be honest, I want to try it, too."

"If you hadn't started it, I wouldn't have considered this way of making money."

Chen Huaiyang nodded, "You can think of some eye-catching ideas. They are in need of manuscripts right now. As long as they can attract attention, they will definitely make money."

"You can discuss this with Glasses. He can draw blackboards and write interesting things. He will have his own opinions."

Tian Dong nodded. "That's what I was thinking. He's still in the Propaganda Department right now. I'll discuss it with him when he comes back."

There was loud discussion outside, and it was obvious that the discussion on this topic would not stop so quickly.

Chen Huaiyang was too lazy to get involved. Anyway, his manuscript had been given, and whether he could fully understand it depended on his ability to comprehend it.

When lunch was ready, I ignored them and started eating my own portion.

After eating, they cleaned up the dishes and left.

Chen Huaiyang hooked Yang Xiaolin's finger and asked, "Do you want to go to town this afternoon?"

"Now that we've made some money, let's go have a nice meal?"

Yang Xiaolin shook her head. She didn't dare to be so ostentatious at this time. The educated youth were eager to try and wrote one by one. They might have to ask for leave in the afternoon to go out and mail the letters.

If someone sees this, even ten mouths won’t be able to explain it clearly.

Although the food is very tempting, you still have to endure it!
"You're not going?"

Chen Huaiyang leaned back in his chair, stretched his legs, and sighed, "How long have you been leaving me alone? You are such a cruel woman!"

Yang Xiaolin raised her hand and pinched his lower back, "Don't talk nonsense, how could I be so cruel?"

"Do you think I can write an article and send it over?"

Chen Huaiyang nodded, "Why not? If you have a good idea, you can write it, but don't discuss it with others, or else someone else will write about your idea."

"When you've finished writing, show it to me. I'll judge it for you and revise any inappropriate parts."

"I have been able to get five manuscripts approved, and I also know what the public likes. This will increase the chances of passing and not waste stamps in vain."

Yang Xiaolin nodded, "Then I'll go back and think about it later."

Chen Huaiyang grabbed the person who wanted to run away and said, "Throw it away after you're done with it!"

Yang Xiaolin glanced at the silence outside the door, fearing that they had gone back to consider the manuscript, so she bent down and kissed him on the lips.

Chen Huaiyang was not satisfied with her perfunctory actions, so he put his arm around her waist and held her tightly, "You can't fool me!"

"If you want to coax me, you have to do it this way." He taught her personally.

Yang Xiaolin listened to the man with glasses humming a tune and getting closer and closer. She pushed him anxiously, and finally bit him lightly before being let go.

She raised her hand to wipe her lips, glared at him with a pair of wet eyes, then turned around and quickly walked out of the kitchen.

The man with glasses brushed past her and felt her hurried steps. He looked at Chen Huaiyang and asked, "Did you bully a female comrade?"

Chen Huaiyang rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm busy going back to my room to write an article!"
