Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 6 Invitation

When you go out and stroll around, you can meet Su Tong, and Yu Dong is also quite surprised.

"Brother, where is this going?"

Su Tong patted the bicycle and said with a smile, "Where else can I go, I just got off work and went home."

Yu Dong nodded, Su Tong should be the editor-in-chief of "Zhongshan" magazine at the moment.

"Since..." Su Tong just opened his mouth and stopped again, looked at Yu Dong up and down, and said again: "Is your name Yu Dong?"

When Su Tong called out his name, Yu Dong was a little surprised: "Master, do you know me?"

Su Tong suddenly laughed, he wasn't really sure, just tried to ask, but the other party's answer was to admit that he was Yu Dong in disguise.

"I know you." Su Tong nodded.

But Yu Dong was still puzzled, because when he asked "you know me", he actually meant "how do you know me", and the answer he wanted was not just "I know you".

Su Tong parked the bicycle, walked slowly to Yu Dong, and took out a pack of hibiscus from his pocket.

"Do you smoke?"

"No smoking." Yu Dong shook his head.

Su Tong smiled and took out a match to light it.

"I've read the article you published on Harvest." Su Tong exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said.

It turns out that this is the case, and Yu Dong probably has an answer in his heart.He only published one article in "Harvest" in his life, and that was when he was a freshman, pointing out that the works of many writers in the literary circles at that time were empty of content.

It's just that he didn't expect Su Tong to have seen it, and several years later, he still remembers it.

"The article is very good. I was thinking of seeing you when I have time, but I didn't expect you to be assigned to Jin Yi as a teacher." Su Tong laughed, and the two eye slits behind the lens became narrower: " How is it, how are you doing in Jinyi?"

Yu Dong thought that Su Tong would catch him discussing the article, but he didn't expect the topic to change and asked about life.

"Just arrived yesterday, and I'm getting used to it."

"After work, it's not as reckless as when you were studying at school, but Jinyi's principal Wu is very good. You can learn more from him."

"Principal Wu is really good. Not only does he work hard, but he also takes good care of new colleagues."

"I believe you will be able to get used to it soon." Su Tong lit a cigarette, "I am working in "Zhongshan" now, if you have time, you can come and sit with me."

"it is good."

Seeing Yu Dong nodded in agreement, Su Tong smiled, got up with his unfinished cigarette, and then rode away.

Looking at Su Tong's back from a distance, Yu Dong was a little puzzled, his brother looked rather strange.It's just a pity that there are too many limitations in this era. If it were in the future, Yu Dong would have taken out his mobile phone and swept Su Tong to add friends.

Su Tong is not only his senior, but also his favorite writer. These avant-garde groups, including Yu Hua and Ge Fei, are all excellent writers.

It's just... Yu Dong suddenly patted his forehead, and he finally realized why Su Tong had reacted like that when he mentioned the article he published on "Harvest".

His article just criticized many writers in the early avant-garde. The popularity of the avant-garde in the past two years did provide more possibilities for the Chinese literary world, but at the same time it also breeds a lot of empty literature.

The writer is too expressive of imagery and biased towards stream of consciousness, which causes the work to be inferior in the content of the story and loses its foundation.

Even Su Tong's early works have this problem.

In other words, Yu Dong's previous article also put Su Tong before the gun.

"Hey, no more, go back."

Yu Dong shook his head and stepped on the moonlight on his way back to school. He still has a lot of things to do tonight.

It is necessary to prepare for the future work plan and continue to create my own science fiction.

……

In the next few days, the students were in military training, while Yu Dong held meetings everywhere like a market, with a small meeting a day and a general meeting every two days.

There is something in the school, no matter the big or the small, you have to hold a meeting to vote, the small meeting, the big meeting, sometimes it is not enough to vote once, and you have to come twice or three times.

Sometimes a teacher has to report to the top in order to adjust the class, and then he has to organize a meeting of leaders and relevant colleagues to vote.Yu Dong has experienced all these things, so he doesn't feel too uncomfortable, but every time there is a meeting, the meeting room is full of smoke, ten teachers and eight bongs, everyone sits together.

Yu Dong gave up smoking himself, but he had to prevent secondhand smoke from becoming lung cancer.

In fact, no one wants to have a meeting, but when something really happens, it seems impossible not to have a meeting.Even if it can be discussed in private, it is not as good as announcing it in person during a meeting, it is more like maintaining a certain sense of ritual.

Some teachers also joke that they seem to work in a "club".

At this time, "club" was a new word, and it didn't have the sensitive connotations of later generations, so that teacher dared to make such a joke.

On the sixth day of the military training, just after Yu Dong finished an orientation seminar, Wu Changxin called him into the office.

Wu Changxin doesn't participate in ordinary meetings, but he knows all the meetings in the school, big and small.Therefore, Wu Changxin is also very clear about Dong's recent itinerary.

As soon as Yu Dong arrived at the office, Wu Changxin asked with a smile, "These days, meetings big and small are enough to give you a headache."

While talking to Yu Dong, Wu Changxin temporarily put down his work and lit another cigarette for himself.Recently, he heard Liu Changmin's report on Yu Dong several times, but it exceeded his expectations. He didn't expect that Yu Dong would be able to handle both large and small matters just after graduation.

He suddenly felt that his old friend Hu Yueming was not telling the truth to him. When Hu Yueming called at that time, he specifically mentioned: Yu Dong, this child has solid literary theory and is very diligent, but he is not good at interpersonal communication and is rather dull.

Now it appears that is not the case at all.

Even if you don't listen to Liu Changmin's report, just looking at Yu Dong standing there, you can feel that he is not a bad sociable person.

Yu Dong didn't know that his performance subverted Wu Changxin's imagination, let alone that Wu Changxin had some kind of "misunderstanding" about his mentor Hu Yueming.

He smiled and replied, "I'm new here, and I can take the opportunity to communicate with other colleagues more, which is something I can't ask for."

"I don't need to recite sheet music with me. I have also experienced these. I called you here this time to ask if you know Su Tong?"

"Su Tong?" Yu Dong looked at Wu Changxin's expression, trying to figure out why he mentioned Su Tong, but there was nothing at all on Old Wu's smiling face.

He pondered: "It's an acquaintance."

"Is it acquainted?" Wu Changxin leaned against his chair and shook the cigarette ashes. "I'm afraid it's not that simple. In the morning, he called my office from "Zhongshan" and wanted to invite you to the magazine office."
