After agreeing to go to Yanjing with Su Tong, Yu Dong originally said he wanted to buy train tickets, but Su Tong told him no.
Su Tong said that he would help solve the ticket issue. As for how to solve it, Yu Dong didn't know, but since Su Tong said so, Yu Dong didn't worry about it anymore.
Not long after returning to the dormitory with the manuscript, Hu Changqing suddenly came to visit.
Seeing Hu Changqing, Yu Dong was stunned for a moment. Although they both lived in the same building, Hu Changqing rarely came to see him in the dormitory. So Yu Dong was a little surprised by his arrival.
Moreover, Hu Changqing looked very strange. When he came in, he was obviously looking around, as if he wanted to do something that no one could know.
"Secretary Hu, what are you doing?" Yu Dong couldn't help but ask.
Hu Changqing looked sideways at Yu Dong's room for a while, coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing, I'm here to see you."
"Then I'll make you some tea."
"No, I just came here after drinking tea and my stomach is full of water." Hu Changqing said with a smile. Then he saw the manuscripts piled in the corner and asked, "Is Teacher Yu writing any new works during this time?"
Hearing what Hu Changqing said, Yu Dong was a little confused about what he meant, so he said, "We are making preparations."
"Is it science fiction?" Hu Changqing asked in a lowered voice.
Seeing Hu Changqing's cautious look, Yu Dong thought to himself that he was here to persuade him not to write science fiction novels again?
That shouldn't be the case. Nowadays, both students and teachers in the school basically know that he writes science fiction novels, and it's not a secret anymore.
And since they learned that they had made a lot of money from science fiction novels, the attitudes of the teachers have obviously changed.
Hu Changqing did persuade him not to say anything before, but now that the matter has been made public, he no longer needs to persuade himself like this.
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "Science fiction is also being prepared."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Hu Changqing nodded and looked again in Yu Dong's dormitory. After a while, he coyly took out a folded piece of manuscript paper from his pocket and said, "You Yu, that's it. I have a friend who also
I wrote a science fiction novel. He used to like reading science fiction novels, but this is his first time writing science fiction novels and he has no experience, so he asked me to give it to you to help him read it."
Yu Dong took the manuscript paper from Hu Changqing's hand with a strange expression, "Secretary Hu, this friend you are talking about..."
"Ordinary friends, and I don't even know him." Hu Changqing said immediately.
Seeing him like this, Yu Dong held back a smile and opened the manuscript paper.
There are only a few pages in total and it is a short story.
Yu Dong quickly read the manuscript, and then looked at Hu Changqing with some surprise. Not to mention, although Lao Hu had a very awkward personality, the novel was pretty good.
The novel tells the story of an alien capable of mimicry who drove a spaceship past the Earth. Because the energy of the spacecraft was exhausted, he had no choice but to land on the Earth.
Because he landed in an uninhabited forest, the alien thought that the most advanced species in the world was a monkey, so he mimicked the monkey and even got along with the monkey. He wanted to lead the monkey to develop technology and strive to bring local technology to the world.
Upgraded to the point where it can provide energy for the spacecraft.
In this way, more than fifty years later, when aliens and well-trained monkeys were engaged in engineering construction, they encountered humans who came to explore.
These humans were particularly surprised to see a group of monkeys building fortifications in a decent manner, so they held their cameras to take pictures of them at close range.
Facing these humans who obviously had higher intelligence, the aliens suddenly realized that their more than fifty years had been wasted. They immediately became sad and howled in front of them in the form of a monkey.
This is not a very hard and grand science fiction novel, but it is quite interesting to read. Moreover, the aliens described in it use brain wave frequencies to communicate with monkeys and the shuttle shape of the spaceship. It can also be seen that Hu Changqing is indeed in daily life.
Read science fiction novels.
Of course, this story cannot be delved into. According to the description in the novel, the humans the aliens later encountered were obviously modern humans. In this case, it is impossible that the aliens did not find any traces of humans in the past fifty years.
But these are all details. As a short story, it is already very qualified.
"Less than, I...how is this friend's writing? Is there any chance of publishing it in "Science Fiction World"?" Hu Changqing asked eagerly.
Yu Dong nodded and said with a smile: "I think it's pretty good, but I'm not an editor, so I can't give you an answer as to whether the manuscript can be passed. I suggest you try submitting it. If you can pass it, they will send it to you soon.
Will give you an answer."
Hu Changqing thought for a moment and said, "How about I do you a favor and vote for my friend?"
Yu Dongwei said, "I can help you with this, but I have agreed that even if I help you submit, the acceptance rate will not increase."
Hu Changqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The main reason is that my friend has never submitted a manuscript and has little experience."
"Okay, I'll send it to you later. But you need to keep your friend's information for a while. If you submit the manuscript later, you'll need to sign it when it's published, and you'll also need to remit the manuscript fee."
Hu Changqing muttered: "Please remit the royalties to me. Can I use a pen name for my signature?"
"Okay, what is your friend's pen name?"
"Let me think about it." Hu Changqing scratched his head and thought for a while, then said, "His pen name is Fushui."
"A flood that is hard to recover?"
Hu Changqing nodded, "That's right."
Yu Dong wrote down the word "covering water", and then wrote Hu Changqing's information again. After confirming it with Hu Changqing, he said to him, "Okay, I'll send it to your friend later, and I'll tell you when I have news."
"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you about this." Hu Changqing said with a smile and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and told Yu Dong, "By the way, Yu Dong, I'll trouble you to help keep this matter a secret.
My friend doesn’t want anyone to know.”
"Secretary Hu, don't worry, I won't tell you."
…
After Hu Changqing left, Yu Dong looked at the manuscript in his hand and still felt it was funny. The main reason was that Hu's acting was so poor that he almost couldn't hold himself back in the middle.
And look at the handwriting on this manuscript. Although Lao Hu deliberately wrote very neatly, his style can still be seen in some small places. Especially for the word "Shi", he always wrote the radical "Cai"
Rather than "醆".
No one corrected this habit in the early stage. After all, it is difficult to see it if you are not particularly careful. Later, when someone noticed it and mentioned it to him, it was difficult for him to change it.
"Old Hu, Old Hu, when will I stop being so awkward?"
