"Okay, I got it, Auntie," Li Wen quickly walked into the room and took out a set of water glasses, and put a plate of melon seeds and fruits on the table in the courtyard.

I went back to the room and sorted out all the replies from the newspaper in the recent period, and then put them on the windowsill to be used for a while.

At this time, the family members also rushed back from the fields. After a few minutes, everyone finished washing, and the children were pushed into the room. The father, second uncle, and Li Wen were left waiting outside.

After a while, Li Wen saw a group of more than a dozen people walking towards his home, led by Director Zhang from the commune and a man wearing glasses. The two were talking and laughing.

"Hello, Leader Zhang, hello, leaders. Li Wen hurriedly walked up and asked.

"Haha, you kid, you are still so good at getting things done. Director Zhang laughed, let me introduce to you. This is Director Sun of our county cultural center. He is here specially for you today."

"Come, everyone, please sit inside. Li Wen, his father, and his second uncle greet everyone into the room.

After everyone sat down, Li Wen also introduced his father and second uncle to everyone in the commune and county cultural center.

"Little comrade, are you 15 years old this year?" Director Sun asked with a smile.

"Well, I just celebrated my fifteenth birthday some time ago," Li Wen nodded.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that our Weihe County would also produce a young talent," Director Sun, a man in his fifties with a long beard, smiled and nodded.

"We have known about you for more than a month. I thought that you submitted two articles by accident. Unexpectedly, in the past few months, Huaxia Youth Daily and Provincial People's Daily have published several articles one after another," Director Sun

He stroked his beard and said.

"Now we know that success is no accident. Today, in addition to seeing your true face, little comrade, we also brought several well-known writers from our county to study with us." Several men and women next to Director Sun smiled.

He nodded towards Li Wen.

"Haha, I just like to think wildly and read a lot. In addition, I am young and fit the reading psychology of the readers of the Youth Daily, so I can continue to invest in the China Youth Daily," Li Wen said with a smile.

"This is very good. Only by looking at the issue from the reader's side can we create works that meet the readers' requirements. Little comrade, you see the issue thoroughly," Director Sun praised.

"Can you show us all your recent works to admire, and then study them? You know that many newspapers and books in our county cannot reach Director Sun," asked Li Wendao.

"No problem, the students are ready and I'll get it for you." Li Wen smiled and stood up from the window sill, handed the prepared manuscript and some of the editor's reply, the reader's reply, and handed it to Director Sun.

Director Sun passed the newspaper manuscripts in his hand to everyone on the side and began to read them.

"Okay, this article is well written. It combines ideals and reality, and describes the sadness of the protagonist and the reality of society." A forty-year-old middle-aged man with a messy beard slapped the table and laughed loudly.

Next, everyone was impressed by Li Wen's literary talent and praised him.

"Little comrade, let me call you Xiaowen. On behalf of our cultural center, I invite you to join us and jointly contribute to the cultural undertakings of our county," Director Sun looked at Li Wen happily.

"Okay, leader, just call me Xiaowen," Li Wen nodded.

Then he said: "Can I join our cultural center? I'm only fifteen years old. What kind of work do I need to do to join the cultural center?" Li Wen asked doubtfully.

"Haha, yes, our cultural center welcomes people from all over the county to join, as long as they are qualified and talented," Director Sun said with a smile.

"Our cultural center is the cultural activity center of the county. It is an institution that carries out mass cultural activities and provides a place for mass cultural and entertainment activities."

"Our cultural center warmly welcomes talents such as painting, writing, art, etc., and after you join, you will not be asked to go to work. You just need to participate in some activities organized by the cultural center. The degree of personal freedom is very high, and it is tailored to your needs.

For your creation, the cultural center will reward you and provide you with a certain living allowance every month, Director Sun said with a smile.

"This is support for talented people in our county, so don't worry," Director Sun said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll join our county cultural center. If you have any questions in the future, please ask the director for advice," Li Wen said with a smile.

"Haha, what's the point? We're all a family, and you're a big kid," Director Sun was very happy after receiving Li Wen's agreement.

"Come on, Xiaowen, this is our county's reward for your literary creation during this period. It's not a lot. It's fifty yuan in total, as well as twenty kilograms of food stamps and some meat stamps. Director Sun took it out from his briefcase

He smiled at Li Wen's reward.

"Oh my god, fifty yuan, and there are so many tickets." The villagers watching at the door were shocked. Their whole family could not earn fifty yuan a year, let alone so many precious things.

All the votes were received, and every one’s eyes shone brightly.

"Come on, Xiaowen, this is the commune's reward for this month. You have published three works this month. I will reward you with thirty yuan and a few tickets." At this time, the commune director Zhang on the side also handed over

I gave Li Wen some money bills.

The people outside the door were almost struck by five thunders. Isn't it too easy to make money?

"Okay, thank you, Director, Director Zhang and the commune," Li Wen took the bill and bowed to the two of them.

"Okay, Xiaowen, this is an encouragement to you. You just need to create more in the future and promote our Weihe County," the two of them laughed.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go," Director Sun stood up.

"Let's go after everyone has finished eating," Li Wen and his father hurriedly stood up to persuade them.

"No, we have things to do when we go back. Xiaowen, please come to the county more often and communicate more with us." Director Sun patted Li Wen on the shoulder and left with everyone in the commune.

After everyone in the village commune left, the villagers outside the door crowded in.

"Wow! Chunmei, your family is so prosperous. Wenzi made you eighty yuan and so many votes today all at once," the villagers exclaimed.

"Come, let's all eat melon seeds. My second aunt and my mother saw so many people coming. As today is a happy event, each person brought a plate of peanuts, melon seeds and sugar on the table." I saw everyone in the village reaching out to grab them.

After a while, a fight started.

"Chunmei, you're at the end of the line. Your Wenzi got so much money today, don't be stingy," the talkative woman in the crowd yelled.

Wang Chunmei saw that many people had not eaten the melon seed candies, so she and her second aunt went into the house and brought out two plates. As a result, there was another round of looting, and they continued to yell, which made the second aunt grit her teeth in anger!

"No, all the hungry ghosts have been reincarnated one by one. Five or six kilograms of melon seeds, peanuts and one kilogram of polysaccharides have all been robbed by you," the second aunt Cui Yanzi said loudly.

"There are five or six kilograms of melon seeds and sugar, but they only cost three yuan. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy more," the crowd cheered.

"I want to eat shit. Three yuan is not much. Why don't you pay one yuan and try it," the second aunt, who looked at the woman who was shouting the most fiercely, cursed.

"Your family is so rich and unkind," the second aunt and the woman started to argue. After a while, the two began to fight. The aunts who were talking to the old lady Wang Chunmei under the eaves hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away.

At this time, Li Wen and his father's second uncle saw off the people from the commune and cultural center at the entrance of the village, as well as the old party secretary, the fourth grandfather, and the production team leader. The accountant uncle also came back.

Seeing the mess in the yard, several people were numb!

"Stop, what are you doing?" Grandpa Fourth shouted towards the yard.

"The fifth family is so rich that they won't even give me any melon seeds or candies," the woman who was fighting with her second aunt scolded.

"What the hell are you talking about? Who wants to be rich and unkind," the second uncle immediately exploded. He didn't dare to wear a hat these days.

"Daughter-in-law Li Tao, eight generations of my family have been poor peasants and hired laborers. Why are we so unkind for the sake of wealth?" At this time, Li Juncai, the party secretary on the side, asked.

"I, I, I don't care! The Lao Wu family got so much money and tickets just sitting here today, isn't it because they are rich and unkind?" When the woman saw that the branch secretary was offended, she didn't dare to say anything anymore, and she sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.

"My Awen got that by his own skill. It's okay if your child has skills. I'm afraid he doesn't just know how to dig out bird eggs all day long," the second aunt scolded.

Haha, the crowd burst into laughter!

"It's all over. This child Awen is good and good for our village's reputation. What are you all robbing here? Do you want to rebel? And what are you doing sitting on the ground? Get up and get out of here, production captain.

Li Junli cursed.

Li Junli's hot temper in the village was not for nothing. It was a real beating. Everyone was so frightened that they quickly slipped out of the door. The woman sitting on the ground saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she got up and ran away.

After everyone in the village had left, my mother and my second aunt brought fruits and glutinous rice sticks again and put them on the table.

"His fourth uncle, and his army, thanks to you today, alas! Today was supposed to be a happy event, but it didn't turn out like this," the old lady said as she walked out of the room.

"Sister-in-law, Awen is our son, and this place used to be my home, so thank you," the branch secretary took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile.

"Aunt, this is what I should do. Awen is a promising kid and will be good for our village's reputation. I also want my boy to learn from Awen. Maybe he can publish a few short articles in our county newspaper.

Li Junli smiled and patted Li Wen on the shoulder.

"Haha, uncle, it's no problem. Your second son is doing well in studies. I often saw him getting certificates when I was in school. Let him come to my place when he has time and I'll tell him about it. He will definitely be great in the future," Li Wen said with a smile.

Li Junli said with a happy face: "Well, from now on, Awen, you can teach me more. If you have any questions, tell me and watch me beat him up."

The fourth master and others sat for a while and left with the apples given by Wang Chunmei.

"I'm so angry. Li Tao's wife is so shameless. She has a pocket full of melon seeds and she doesn't yell enough. She also scolds our family for being rich and unkind." After everyone left, the second aunt took a sip of water and sat on a stool and cursed.
