Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

"Mom, there's no need to get me money. I've got two more royalties and I have a few dollars. I'll probably have enough for tomorrow. When the next royalties come, I'll treat them to dinner."

Zhou Jinxin thought about the royalties he had received, which were about 25 and six yuan. Is that enough?

"Ah? Jinxin, it's only been a few days, and your manuscript fee has come again? What newspaper are you submitting to? You tell the second aunt, and the second aunt will also let your little brother Xiaofeng try to contribute."

When Yao Yaqin heard about the manuscript fee, she became energetic again.

"Are you getting royalties again? So soon? Or six yuan?"

Mrs. Yao was also happy, this was really satisfying.

"Ah, no, it's just..."

"Hey, Aunt Zhou, did you know that your family's brocade has been in the newspaper?"

Before Zhou Jinxin could explain, he heard Aunt Chen's voice coming from next door.

Um?How did Aunt Chen know that her article had been published in the newspaper?Zhou Jinxin was puzzled.

When everyone was confused, Aunt Chen had already walked in happily holding a newspaper.

"Hey, you're all at home. Jinxin, you were in the newspaper, did you know?"

Aunt Chen opened it with a newspaper, and a black and white photo came into view.

It’s the one we took a group photo with on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival event.

Zhou Jinxin stood at the very edge, with Song Zhengyang next to him.

In the photo, he is smiling brightly, while he himself is smiling brightly.

Suddenly, Zhou Jinxin felt that his face was getting hot.

She quickly looked away.

"Oh, no, Jinxin has been in the newspapers.

We have to keep this. It’s not easy. No one in our family has ever been in the newspaper.

Look, sister, how good this photo is. "

Yao Yaqin hurried over and took the newspaper and looked at it carefully.

"You don't have to keep them well. Look at these people. According to our second son, these are all big leaders. There is also the director of their factory. They are all standing in the back row without even showing their faces. "

Aunt Chen pointed at the person behind who only had half of his head exposed.

"Oh, right? My eldest niece is really capable.

Sister, buy me a copy of this newspaper. I will take it back to our village and show it off, and open the eyes of those ignorant people.

Brother-in-law, take a look. Your eldest daughter has been in the newspaper. Look, this photo is so beautiful. "

Yao Yaqin said excitedly.

"Hey, hey."

Old Mrs. Yao followed along and said nothing else. She nodded along with whatever Yao Yaqin said.

"Sister, you are so awesome.

I've never met anyone more powerful than you. "

Xiaowu didn't know if he was infected by them or something, but he started to flatter again.

"No, the new sister is really powerful, even more powerful than Brother Daqiang from the captain's family in our village."

Xiaofeng also nodded and said.

"What about the captain's son? If I had known that your new sister was so powerful, I wouldn't have been able to tell him about the captain's family.

How can his son be worthy of a niece as capable as me? "

Yao Yaqin changed her usual attitude and smiled like a flower at Zhou Jinxin.

Being able to appear in a newspaper these days is definitely a big deal.

Old man Zhou also smiled, squinted his eyes, and nodded, obviously in a very good mood.

"Second aunt, please stop talking. I'll be embarrassed if you say it again."

Zhou Jinxin could hardly sit still. This was not just chatter, it was pure flattery.

"What's going on? When I go back to the village tomorrow, I will frame the newspaper and hang it on the wall. I will show it to anyone who comes. This is my niece's photo taken with so many big leaders. When the time comes, I will see who dares to bully me. .”

Yao Yaqin obviously regarded Zhou Jinxin as a talisman.

"Hehe, hehe, Second Aunt, you can just stick to the door."

Zhou Jinling still didn't think highly of her second aunt, and there was always ridicule in her words.

"That's right, just stick it on the door." Yao Yaqin didn't think so, and thought Zhou Jinling's idea was a good one, so she nodded with a smile.

"That's no longer a goalkeeper."

Zhou Jinjie rolled her eyes and said.

"Okay, okay, the kids are getting involved, your second aunt is so happy, let's go out and play."

Yao Yaqin didn't think anything of it, but Mrs. Yao couldn't stand listening anymore, so she kicked out these naughty kids.

Zhou Jinxin also followed the situation. She couldn't stay in the atmosphere in this room any longer.

The next day, Zhou Jinxin arrived in town early because she was going to collect the remittance from the newspaper office, which was her funds for today.

Last night, Mrs. Yao secretly gave her ten dollars and repeatedly told her not to spend it blindly. This was because she was afraid that the three and a half yuan in royalties she had in hand would not be enough to buy things, which would make people laugh.

Zhou Jinxin collected the money, thinking that she would leave more for her mother next time the royalties came.

"Oh, isn't this Comrade Xiao Zhou? What a coincidence."

Zhou Jinxin had withdrawn the remittance and was waiting for Secretary Xiao Qiao at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative when she heard a loud male voice calling her.

She raised her head and looked into the distance, and sure enough, a young gay man came over with a tall man with dark skin. Both of them had sweat on their faces and looked quite anxious.

"Captain Gao, what a coincidence. Are you here to buy something?"

Gao Mancang and others hurried over and saw Zhou Jinxin's eyes almost flashing with excitement on his face.

"Yes, Comrade Xiao Zhou, what a coincidence. I came here today to buy things for our village. It was no coincidence that I met the young man from the next village.

You said it was no coincidence, their tractor also broke down, and they happened to be shopping in the county, so I brought them over.

Isn’t this the moment I met you, Comrade Xiao Zhou?

I'm just going to drag it out and discuss something with you. We didn't say anything. If you don't agree, forget it. We'll pretend we didn't say anything. "

Gao Mancang had wanted to find Comrade Xiao Zhou for a long time, but the people in the engineering team did not go to work often, and it was not easy for him to go directly to the unit to find Comrade Xiao Zhou, so he was delayed.

"Captain Gao, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Zhou Jinxin vaguely guessed what he was going to say, but he had something to do and didn't know if he could do it now.

"Comrade Xiao Zhou, you also know that there are many tractors in our villages, so there are also many broken ones, but there are only a few technicians, and people are busy. In some places, it doesn't matter how long the tractors are broken. I visited them several times, but they never had time to come over.

I just thought, we can't just wait.

Last time I saw that your skills in repairing tractors were better than those of your technician comrades, so I was thinking, can you please show us?

We can't collect money privately to do things now, but we have a good relationship. If you help us and we give you some things that grow in your own land, that's not a violation.

Look, how does it look? "

Gao Mancang said what he had been thinking about for a long time, and he felt a lot more relaxed. Then he looked at Zhou Jinxin anxiously, for fear that she would disagree.
