"Grudge" magazine was founded in July 1956. It is China's first original youth literary magazine.

Since its revision in 1996, "Grudge" has opened up multiple columns in an attempt to open up a larger territory in the field of youth and juvenile literature.

As a senior editor in the magazine, Qu Ling is used to facing mountains and seas of words every day. Since the marketization of literature, the club has recruited a group of young people in time, and her current workload has been reduced a lot.

She is now responsible for selecting high school campus articles and supervising a four-person editorial team.

Not long after she got to work that day, Xiao Li walked over to her with a stack of envelopes in her hands, "Sister Qu, look, there are also manuscripts submitted by junior high school students. They are quite thick. Children nowadays are really big-hearted."

"Oh, it's quite rare. Let me read this manuscript and see if I can bring a genius to our group."

Every editor hopes to have good authors in their hands, which means a steady stream of good manuscripts.

Qu Ling took out the manuscript, and in the middle of the title page it was neatly written: From the city to the fields, it is a different world.

Through this junior high school student's description of summer rural life, a vivid new world is presented to readers.

The simple and a little childish writing is permeated with strong emotions, and Qu Ling can even feel his determination to protect his family and the world in the book.

The folk customs mixed with descriptions fully demonstrate the Chinese farmers' desire for harvest and yearning for happiness that have lasted for thousands of years.

The book also comes with cartoons that the author created to help his sister understand animals and plants. The paintings are not outstanding, but they are all cute and creative.

This is a good work!

Qu Ling had complicated hesitations. This subject was outside the scope of her column, so she still couldn't hand over the manuscript.

Qu Ling knocked on the editor's door and said, "Editor Zhao, you have read this manuscript. I'm a little unsure."

Editor Zhao looked up at Qu Ling in surprise, "Okay, you sit down first and pour the water yourself while I take a look."

After more than half an hour, Editor Zhao raised his head and said to Qu Ling with a smile: "It's such a good manuscript, no wonder you can't part with it. Okay, let's take charge of your column. Let Xiao Li make a copy and send it to me later." , I have only read half of it, this comic is quite cute, children should like it very much."

"Editor-in-Chief, the author is a junior high school student, in his second year of junior high school this year."

"Really? If it's true, you have discovered a genius, but you have to keep an eye on me!"

"Don't worry, Editor-in-Chief, I'll contact you right away to make an appointment and I'll go there myself." Qu Ling wrote a letter of guarantee to Editor-in-Chief Zhao.

In Northern Fujian No. 1 Middle School, Qiu Jiang had just walked into the office after class when he heard someone calling him.

"Teacher Qiu, your phone number."

Qiu Jiang answered the phone, "Hello, this is Qiu Jiang."

"Hello, Mr. Qiu, I am the editor-in-chief of Germination magazine in Shanghai. My name is Qu Ling."

"Hello~, hello~" Qiu Jiang was a little panicked.

"Are you the author of "From City to Field, That's Another World"?"

"No, no, I am his father. If you have any requests, you can tell me. Shanhe is still in class."

"I would like to make an appointment with you to meet Shanhe. Do you think that's okay?"

"Okay, okay, we're both free here."

"Then this Sunday, three days from now, what do you think?"

"Okay, okay~"

"The address is No. 21, Miaoqian Lane, Chengguan Town, Northern Fujian County, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's my home."

"Then let's meet and talk, Mr. Qiu. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Jiang still seemed to be in a dream. It was done. My son hit the dysprosium shot and walked to the bicycle shed in a daze before he woke up.

I got on my bike and headed straight for the post office.

"Meiyu, Xie Meiyu, please come out."

"Why did you come to me at this hour? What happened?" Xie Meiyu looked at her panting husband.

"Good thing, great thing. The magazine called and said they would come to my home for an interview this Sunday."

"Is it Xiaohe's diary? Oh my God, this is what happened. Isn't it inaccurate?" Xie Meiyu asked, glaring at Qiu Jiang.

"Ninety percent of the time, I've been selected. Why else would they come all the way to find Xiaohe? Don't tell anyone else about this yet. After all, the contract hasn't been signed yet."

"I know, I know, my God, my son is going to be a great writer. Mazu bless him, Mazu bless him."

"I'll go home and inform Teacher Yu first, and then call Xiao Wu. You can buy some good food later and celebrate in the evening. You have to thank them properly." Qiu Jiang told his wife.

"Ah~oh!" Xie Meiyu reacted after a while, "Don't worry, I will let everyone eat and drink well tonight, haha."

As soon as Shanhe entered the house with his sister in hand, he heard Master Yu's happy laughter, and then saw three grown men chatting in the living room with red faces.

Shanhe and his sister came forward to say hello to the two elders.

"Xiaohe, you're back. Well, let your dad talk first." Wu Zhiwei was the first to see the two brothers and sisters entering the door.

"Son, the magazine just called and they are coming to your home for an interview this Sunday. You should be selected for the summer diary!" Qiu Jiang picked up the ignorant little Chu Xi and kissed her hard.

Shanhe scratched his forehead and looked at his master and Uncle Wu who couldn't help but clench their fists and nod, "It's so fast. It only took a week to send it out."

"Haha, it means that the magazine values ​​you, Xiaohe, now you are going to grow wings." Wu Zhiwei was really happy for Shanhe.

"Xiaohe, don't publicize the article before it's published. Some things will have a bad impact on you, you know?" Yu Zhengchong gave Shanhe a shot.

"Okay, I won't say anything." Shanhe promised the master respectfully.

"Your mother is cooking a big meal for you in the kitchen. Go and let your mother enjoy it, haha..." Qiu Jiang smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth never closed.

"I have to cheer up Fu Gang this time!"

The three of them laughed again.

A sumptuous family banquet made everyone come and leave happily.

Shanhe was also very excited, and finally took his first step smoothly. With this fulcrum, he will work hard to leverage a longer and heavier future.
