Chapter 038 Pen pals
Apart from these small episodes, Zhuo Ziyuan still maintains his own routine, running once in the morning and evening. Now it basically only takes 25 minutes to run a 5-kilometer run, and he is still physically capable. Then he attends classes, reads, writes zamabu, and writes songs.
Painting, practicing piano on weekends, and practicing Taekwondo.
Zhuo Ziyuan feels that this cannot go on. Repeating these things every day is boring enough. Although he can immerse himself in the world of the work when writing, it is illusory after all. He has been thinking about finding something new to do recently, so
He was also looking for something new to do, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything new in life. Until one day, he read a reader magazine, and now readers will send him a copy of every issue, free of charge.
. He saw a page on the readers page asking for pen pals, and he suddenly became interested.
In his previous life, when he was in junior high school, he thought about making a pen pal, but he sent out several letters, and he didn't know whether it was five or six, but they all ended up being ignored, and there was no news at all. This made him
He had completely lost interest, and at that time he had to save money on postage, so he was too embarrassed to ask his parents for it. This was a pity for him.
This time he decided that he must successfully make a pen pal to make up for the regrets of his previous life. So he looked at the more than 20 messages for pen pals and randomly selected 10. Anyway, he didn't have to pay for the postage now, so he sent more money.
Net, there is always something to gain.
He wrote 10 copies of the same self-introduction. Of course he would not write his real name. He chose the pen name Wutong Ye. He was too lazy to think of a name. Since he had two pen names, Wutong and Ye Zi, he would add another Wutong Ye.
How about it? Then I introduced how old I am, a boy, and what my hometown is like. Of course I didn’t write it in detail. After all, the first letter is just a brief introduction. When we contact each other more in the future, we will naturally be able to talk about more things.
Then I hope that the other party is an honest person. If there are secrets, you don’t have to write or answer questions, but the hope written in the letter is true and there is no deception. Originally, we would basically never meet in real life. Finally, at the end
, Zhuo Ziyuan added a more poetic sentence, "Buddha said that looking back five hundred times in the past life is the only way to get the fate of passing by in this life. I wonder if we have looked back five hundred times in the past life. I look forward to your reply."
Zhuo Ziyuan believes that this should increase the success rate.
As a result, after waiting for two weeks, no one replied. Zhuo Zi was very anxious. He had forgotten how slow postal express delivery was in this era. On average, he could reply one letter a month, which was pretty good.
So, Zhuo Ziyuan dug out the readers from the previous issues. When he took it out and looked at it, he felt a little dizzy. It turned out that a lot of the information for soliciting pen pals was repeated, and he solicited for several issues in a row. How picky or picky was this?
How many pen pals do you want to make?
In the end, Zhuo Ziyuan searched several books in succession and sorted out 10 more people. The same as last time, the contents of the letters were almost the same. He mailed 10 more letters. I still didn’t believe it. Every time there were 10 people, I
See how many times it takes to get a reply. Isn't it possible that all the information from the reader is false? If you still haven't received the letter after half a month, should you call Wang Liang, the previous reader? If it is false, then
Isn't it a waste of your feelings?
Facts have proved that the information above is not false, because in the next half month, Zhuo Ziyuan received a total of three replies, two from Dongdu, one from Hangcheng, Zhejiang Province, a man and a woman from Dongdu
, Hangcheng is a woman.
Dongdu Nan, whose pen name is Brother Xiaosha, is already in his first year of high school. He directly stated in the letter that he was forced by his sister to have a pen pal. He said that his Chinese language scores were relatively poor, especially composition, which was very poor and that he hired a teacher at home.
, forced him to write a diary, but he always gave up the task and did not improve his skills. As a result, his sister suggested making a few pen pals. Although he agreed, he always replied with the same rhetoric at the beginning, and then no one else responded.
Okay, this time my elder sister threatened that if I can’t find my pen pal within a month, I’ll tell my parents if anything bad happens in the future, and I’ll help them monitor him. I hope my brother can help me. Just send him a letter every two months.
Okay, it doesn't matter if you deal with it.
Zhuo Ziyuan saw that his writing was pitiful, and decided to help him. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he just treated it as a spectator. Of course, he could not easily agree to a reply. Zhuo Ziyuan told him that as long as the other party was willing to seriously write some interesting stories about his experiences, then
He cooperated and responded to the letter once every two months so that he could deliver the work.
Dongdu Girl, whose pen name is Maple Leaf, is a very common pen name. She seems to like the red maple leaves in autumn. She is also in the third year of junior high school. She said her birthday was in October 1983. She also asked Zhuo Ziyuan when her birthday was and she said she had lived there since she was born.
In the city, I really want to know what the countryside is like. I hope Zhuo Ziyuan can tell him more in the letter. She also said that she listens to music, sings, and likes to talk about the guzheng. She said that the pressure is a bit high now that she has exams all day long in the third grade of junior high school, so I want to
Make some pen pals, listen to different people's stories, and relieve stress.
Zhuo Ziyuan thought this girl was interesting and was willing to talk about everything. She even shared her guzheng lessons and her birthday with others. This could also be used as a pen pal, so he also sent a reply, saying that he guessed that the reason why she was named Maple Leaf was...
Because she was born in October, there were maple leaves falling everywhere on her birthday. Then she told him some fun things for rural children, such as when to plant rice seedlings, when to catch fish, how to catch frogs, catch eels, etc.
He also told the other party that his birthday was in February 1984, but did not mention anything about his painting, piano and singing.
The woman from Hangzhou, whose pen name is Qiu, didn’t say much or her birthday, but Zhuo Ziyuan remembered that her information on the reader was in the third year of junior high school, and he didn’t know if it was out of date. Qiu just briefly introduced herself, and she was also a girl who had been a child since she was a child.
Living in the city, I had a pen pal before and wrote letters for nearly a year. The other person didn’t want to continue writing and it ended like this. She had nothing to say, so she started recruiting pen pals again. The purpose of making pen pals is very simple, just to write.
Make some friends you don’t know in real life. If you don’t talk to real friends or parents, you can also find someone to talk to. By the way, you can also learn about the pen pal’s story. It’s also quite interesting. If you want, you can try to keep in touch and talk about it.
Your own stories or interesting anecdotes.
It can be seen that this is a relatively straightforward girl. The letter is also simple. There is no unnecessary exchange of information. She pays attention to efficiency and gets to the goal directly. She should be more mature than her peers. Zhuo Ziyuan feels that it is more convenient to chat with people of different personalities.
To enrich my life experience. So I also wrote a reply and expressed my willingness to continue making friends. Just like the letter to Maple Leaf, although the other party did not take the initiative to say that he wanted to know about rural things, for the first time, Zhuo Ziyuan didn’t know what to talk about.
He told the other party what he had told Maple Leaf General before. At the end of the letter, he also specifically told the other party that he didn’t know what topics she was interested in. He would first tell her interesting things about the countryside and how to live in the future.
