Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 1384 1386【Recovery of remuneration】

  In 1977, apart from house splitting, it was a good thing for Xiang Nan. There are a few other good things that make him happy.

  First, various periodicals and magazines have resumed publication one after another, such as "Yanjing Literature and Art", "Contemporary Fiction", "World Literature", "Hujiang Literature and Art" and so on.

  The remuneration system has also been restored. It is stipulated that the original manuscript is two to seven yuan per thousand words, and the translated manuscript is one to five yuan per thousand words, which is a low remuneration. Because in the 1960s, the remuneration standard was 3 to 10 yuan for the original manuscript and 2 to 7 yuan for the translated manuscript.

  Ten years have passed, not only has there been no improvement, but it has even been lowered.

   Even so, for someone like Xiang Nan who has a very high output and can write 10,000 to 20,000 words a day, it has become possible to make money from manuscripts. Even if it is four yuan per thousand characters, he can earn fifty or sixty yuan a day, which is equivalent to his monthly salary.

  Secondly, the cultural confinement is gradually loosened. The previous novels, movies, and dramas must follow the principle of "three highlights", highlighting the high-level encyclopedia of workers, peasants, and soldiers, and they must also face strict scrutiny.

   After entering seven or seven years, the review was gradually relaxed. Many subjects that could not be written or touched before can now be written, giving Xiang Nan a sense of freedom from the shackles, freedom from shackles, and a sense of joy in dancing.

  He first sent a novella "Our Field" to "People's Literature". This film tells the story of educated youths who go to the countryside, take root in the countryside, and grow up after going through hardships in a dangerous natural environment.

  This novel is written conservatively. Try to express the experience of the educated youth objectively and honestly, without deliberately beautifying or criticizing. Unlike other works, it takes a pessimistic and sad attitude towards educated youth going to the countryside.

  Xiang Nan intends to use this work as a guidepost, and it would be best if it can be published. If it can't be published, I will write it leisurely in the future. After the policy is substantially liberalized, consider loosening it.

  …

   "Xiaoli, this is the house allocated to me by the factory, isn't it good?" Xiang Nan stood in the tidy and clean room and smiled.

   "Not bad, of course not bad." Cai Xiaoli nodded repeatedly.

   There are six members of her family, and now there are only three rooms. When my father was still alive, the five sisters slept on a kang. Grinding teeth, farting, snoring, and talking in sleep can all be heard clearly, not to mention being irritable.

  It’s not like Xiang Nan, living in a unit by myself, it’s spacious and comfortable, it’s really great.

   "Jianjun, I really envy you~" Cai Xiaoli said again.

   "Don't be envious, this is my house and yours too." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "In the future, you can also move in here."

   "What are you talking about, I hate it~" Cai Xiaoli blushed and said coquettishly.

   "Hey, don't get me wrong. What I mean is, if you're tired from working overtime at night and don't bother to ride your bike home, you can come here for the night." Xiang Nan explained.

   "That's not appropriate. If it spreads, it will make people laugh." Cai Xiaoli shyly said.

  The current social atmosphere is still very conservative. Young men and women dare not hold hands when they are dating, let alone sleeping in the same room.

   "Who knows how to make jokes, who dares to make jokes, what are the jokes?" Xiang Nan curled his lips, "We're dating, isn't it normal to be together? Unless you don't want to."

"Jianjun, don't get me wrong, of course I am willing." Cai Xiaoli said quickly when she heard this, "You didn't go to the "Poetry" magazine for me, how could I not know that you have a heart for me? ?

  I'm just worried that if the news gets out, it will affect your reputation. In that case, I would have hurt you instead. "

   "Don't worry, it's okay. The government advocates freedom of love and independent marriage. We are together, and we don't provoke anyone. Can others control us?" Xiang Nan took her by the hand and said.

   Cai Xiaoli nodded when she heard this.

  …

  One night two days later, Cai Xiaoli chose to live in Xiang Nan's house instead of going home after working overtime at night.

   Spring sleep does not wake up, I hear birds singing everywhere. The night comes wind and rain, Whispering Colour.

  After breaking through the last barrier, the relationship between Xiang Nan and Cai Xiaoli has been growing rapidly. Love is stronger than gold, as gluey as paint, it's hard to break apart.

   Cai Xiaoli's mother, Zhang Xiulan, did not object when she learned about her daughter and Xiang Nan, but strongly supported it.

  In her opinion, Xiang Nan's son-in-law is really great. He is young and promising, motivated, and has great potential in the future, which should not be underestimated. A son-in-law like this must of course be bound as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be snatched away in a blink of an eye.

  So instead of beating the mandarin ducks, she encouraged them to live together.

  In the 1970s, the social atmosphere was relatively conservative.

  If Xiang Nan dares to mess up and give up and play with his feelings, then his reputation will be ruined and his reputation will be condemned by thousands of people. Therefore, it is more beneficial for my daughter to get on the bus first and then make up for the fare.

  …

  Since moving to the factory, Xiang Nan has transferred all the used car business to Han Chunming.

  Chunming has the skill of repairing cars and has a sense of business, but because of limited contacts and insufficient supply of old bicycles, this business cannot be done.

  After Xiang Nan transferred his supply to him, Chunming trembled.

  You can repair a bicycle in two or three days, and you can earn 10 yuan for a bicycle, and you can earn 150 yuan a month. Adding wages and money for dumping eggs, you can earn more than the factory manager.

   Chunming repaired the bicycle, and Xiang Nan handed it over to Cui Weihong and Cai Xiaoli to sell, and everyone made a fortune together. All delicious and spicy.

  In comparison, Su Meng, who lives in the same courtyard, still has no job and is bored at home all day. It is estimated that in a while, she will grow hair.

  Su Jingxuan and Liu Lanzhi sighed every day.

  They have nothing to do with their daughter's work, thinking about whether to marry her off. Perhaps finding a powerful and well-connected husband's family can help her daughter fulfill her wish.

  After all, the conditions of the daughter are still good. She is young, beautiful, graduated from high school, and has a scholarly reputation from generation to generation. She is still very attractive to young men.

  After having this idea, they began to make a secret without discussing it with their daughter.

  They knew that their daughter had an arrogant personality and acted on her own. She said early on that she didn't want her parents to intervene in her marriage, so she definitely didn't agree to a blind date.

  So they thought about letting the young man get in touch with his daughter first, just in case if he felt something, wouldn't it be fine.

  So a few days later, young men began to visit the door.

  …

  Xiang Nan hasn't lived at home since the room was divided.

   Go home once a week at most. When I have free time, I also create in the dormitory.

  He heard that Su Meng had a blind date, and it was Chunming who nagged.

  Although Chunming has not spoken to Su Meng for more than a year, he has not forgotten Su Meng until now, and has been thinking about her all the time.

  Because of this, when I heard that Su Meng started a blind date, Chunming was over excited.

   "If she goes on a blind date, what should I do?" He said painfully.

"If she really succeeds in the blind date, then I would like to congratulate you. Life is finally liberated." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "Think about it carefully, what is so good about Su Meng? She has high eyes and low hands, and she is selfish. Arrogant and self-willed...You are the only one who thinks such a young lady is a treasure."

   "You are not allowed to say that about her." Chunming said displeased upon hearing this.

   "Cut, you didn't ask me, I don't even bother to say." Xiang Nan gave him a blank look.
