Chapter 84

In the 1980s, overseas relations were more enviable than official relations.

There is an official relative in the family, that is, more convenient and more affordable. There is an overseas relative who is quite different. That is the prestige that can shake up immediately. If you buy a color TV with a sum of foreign exchange in 1982, the whole compound will be shocked. If you want a sum of money in the countryside, building a house and running a pig farm, you can change your life instantly. If those who are a little richer, whether borrowing or exchanging, use foreign exchange to jump in the queue and buy a Dongfeng car with thousands of dollars, the whole family will be well-off for a year or two.

80 In the early s, the heroine of love on Lushan Mountain was a descendant of the Kuomintang living in the United States. The film tells the love story of a silly boy who loves to learn and an overseas Chinese "Princess"《 The protagonist of the horse herder has an old overseas Chinese American father who he doesn't know. While they are entangled in the relationship between father and son, there is also a rural girl who is not envious of foreign life and is willing to stay in the poor grassland. As a result, the girl's actor gets a scholarship from the French government and goes abroad happily.

It can be said that overseas relations represent a better life.

At this time, people know very little about foreign countries, but from the limited resources, it can be seen that when foreigners come to China, they spend more money than we earn in our lifetime. A letter sent by a relative from abroad contains only a piece of foreign money. Whether it's US dollar bills, pens or Japanese yen, its face value is more than the annual income of a family of three. If you are lucky enough to go abroad, even if you wash dishes abroad, you can accumulate a lot of wealth

"Isn't this Yang family a local? Do you have relatives going out? " The postman from Xi county didn't leave at all. He stayed in the post office until Yang Rui came to see what was inside.

Strong curiosity and non-existent sense of responsibility are the privileges given by the times. There is a punctuality in the Nanhu area when it comes to delivering letters. It's very casual when it comes to villages and towns.

The post office in Xibao town doesn't matter. If people like to see it, they just look at it. Only the local postman rides fast, carrying a handful of ordinary mail and parcel information to make a notice.

The first 30 copies are free of charge. If you want to print more, the magazine society will charge a lot of money. For example, 250 copies may cost $500 to print, and 2500 copies may cost $1500. For those researchers who need to attend academic conferences or are too excited, they are willing to pay for it.

Different from the publication of ordinary magazines, most foreign journals have no contribution fee, or the contribution fee is equal to the page fee. If a magazine with a large circulation prints more pamphlets, it's a discount for the author. In the next ten or twenty years, the network will develop well, fewer people will subscribe to magazines, and even fewer journals will be given away.

The cardboard box was quickly cleaned, and there was only one letter left. Yang Rui opened it without any scruple, but it was a standard machine typed letter. It was about welcoming Yang Rui to contribute again, which was meaningless《 Biochemistry system ecology is a SCI retrieval journal. Researchers all over the world have contributed to it. There is no shortage of manuscripts. After all, foreign researchers also need to evaluate their professional titles.

The people in the post office watched Yang Rui pull out the carton. As a result, they didn't see a money order or a US dollar bill. In the last envelope, it was really a letter. The postman in Xi county, who had been waiting for a day, couldn't stand it. He said unhappily, "you relatives are really boring. You send a bunch of books, but it's not antique. What's the meaning?"

"Antiques can't be sent." Wu Qian whispered that she was preparing for the internal examination of the post office recently. She was very familiar with the rules and regulations.

The postman snorted and said, "who knows if foreigners are allowed to send it. What are these

He asked Yang Rui.

Yang Rui smiles, puts the booklet back into the carton, opens a sample magazine, turns to the middle part, finds his own article, points to the signature under the title, and says, "see this?"

"Like a ghost..." muttered the postman.

"It's Pinyin. Can Wu Qian spell it?" Yang Rui changed the direction of the sample.

"A little bit." Wu Qian hesitated. She picked up her Pinyin recently and taught herself to take part in the unified examination of the post office. When she was in school, she taught Chinese to an old farmer with a white towel on his head. He was a poor and middle-class peasant. He held a whip every day to tell the students about the importance of picking up dung. He often said how much sweat and effort he had made to be a handlebar. For this reason, he gave thanks to a circle of people and often took the children to practice nearby. The children had a good time, I also like the old man who dares to beat the teacher very much. When he graduated, he found that he didn't learn anything.

With a touch of shyness, Wu Qian stares at Yang Rui's Pinyin. It takes more than ten seconds to read the initials and finals separately: "Yang... R... UI..."

"Yang Rui?" Wu Qian suddenly surprised called out, also don't know is spell out Pinyin for oneself, or spell out Yang Rui.Yang Rui nodded slightly and said, "the article I wrote was published in a foreign journal. This is a sample magazine sent to me by someone else."

The answer is more surprising than that of overseas relatives.

Elder sister Li, the oldest in the Institute, called out and asked, "you used to write articles in our Chinese newspapers, but now you've got them abroad?"

"That's about it."

"Then why is there no fee?" Elder sister Li's voice became louder. Suddenly she looked down on the counter and said, "is there any money order I haven't seen?"

"There is no fee for this kind of journal." Yang Rui had no choice but to stop the other party's kindness. He took out the pamphlet and said, "this kind of journal will print my articles separately, but it won't pay for the contribution."

"Foreigners save more money than us. They don't even pay for the contributions..."

"Foreign magazines are given, but periodicals are not." The difference between Yang Rui's exhausted popular journals and magazines.

The people on the counter went in and out of the left ear, and only looked at the pamphlet with both hands. They kept giving out "tut tut" praise. After a while, the people who came to work in the town also flocked to the counter, scrambling to read foreign magazines and books.

Xibao town is a small town. If someone farts in the west, you can know it immediately in the East. Foreign magazines can spread all over the town in less than ten minutes.

There are more people in the post office. Some people who do business give their stalls to others, so they run to see the excitement.

There are also some bigwigs who are stingy. What they hear is foreign magazines. What they think is videos of foreigners wearing no clothes in the county. They think that "there are all these things in the town", and then they rush to squeeze in.

Yang Rui is very happy that his reputation has spread. The reputation of Yang Xiangchang's son for publishing articles in foreign countries is better than that of Yang Xiangchang's son for bullying people with militia.

However, in order to protect the rare sample magazine, Yang Rui first took it back to hand, then put the two booklets on the counter and walked along the back door.

The booklet is used to do this kind of thing. When you see Yang Rui's Pinyin, you will be satisfied. As for the photos of foreign women who don't wear clothes, you are still embarrassed to announce this kind of thing.

The next day.

Xia houhuan was called to the school by Yang Rui, and got the "organized" mathematical formula book. Although the dense numbers and symbols exceeded the actual demand, Xia houhuan was relieved.

"With this, we can make the evaporative crystallizer, right?" Summer Hou Huan asked more, he put in too much, can't go back.

"You have to find special technical personnel to organize production according to the requirements in the brochure... If you encounter problems again, you can come back to me. But I said that I don't care about ordinary production problems. You have to have special personnel to do this work." Yang Rui finished, took a new booklet, handed it to Xia houhuan and said, "this is my latest paper, which can be regarded as a proof of myself."

The booklet also has a cover, including the name and introduction of the Journal of Biochemistry system ecology, the introduction of Yang Rui, the full text of his paper, and finally the identification and evaluation of the reviewers. The content of the booklet is more detailed than that of the official journal.

Of course, all this is written in English.

Xia houhuan understood Yang Rui's words, and then took them in his hand. His questions disappeared.

"I will read it carefully." Xia houhuan thanks Yang Rui again and again, and just left Xibao middle school.
