1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 130
On Thursday morning, Lin Weimin received a letter from Zhijiang.

It was sent by Yu Hua.

In the letter, Yu Hua told Lin Weimin the good news that he had been transferred from the Wuyuan Town Health Center to the County Cultural Center, and this work transfer was entirely due to the publication of "Star" in "Contemporary".

Lin Weimin calculated the time, "Stars" was published in the third issue of "Contemporary" this year, and it was released in May.

It’s not yet July, that is to say, it’s just over a month since the publication of the work. With the short story "Star", Yu Hua has completed a leap in life, from a non-professional dentist to a semi-professional dentist. literary workers.

Yu Hua's experience is also the only way for most writers or literature lovers in this era.

They used to be farmers, workers, doctors, and soldiers. Their works were published. When the local government saw their talents and achievements in literary creation, they would give them temporary posts in the cultural department. This kind of writers basically belonged to amateur writers.

When more works are published, or the influence reaches a higher level, and they enter the Chinese Association, they will naturally become full-time writers. Not only will they have public positions, but their income from manuscript fees will also be high.

Yu Hua was very excited in the letter. His biggest wish was not to go to work. When he saw someone wandering on the street before, he even asked them why they didn't go to work.

People say that shopping is work. Yu Hua was so excited that he asked what unit he worked in, and he said it was a cultural center.

Since then, the Cultural Center has become a place where Yu Hua's soul lingers in his dreams.

Now, the dream has come true!

In addition to talking about the job transfer, Yu Hua also said one thing in the letter, which was his feelings after watching "Farewell My Concubine".

Lin Weimin looked at the letter and frowned.

What do you mean?Is this kid planning to turn on the "depression" mode now?

The most important thing is that he was inspired by "Farewell My Concubine" written by himself.

Lin Weimin didn't know what to say for a while.

Leave the sadness to the readers and the happiness to yourself.

It has to be you!
I really don't know if Yu Hua's readers will send him blades after they know the truth.

After thinking about it, Lin Weimin wrote a letter to Yu Hua to encourage him. Now that he has better creative conditions than before, he needs to produce more works.

As for Yu Hua's question about creative writing in his letter, Lin Weimin didn't mention a single word. This kind of thing can't be put on paper. If it is found out at the time, it will be a criminal evidence. It is better to teach him face to face when we have a chance to meet in the future.

Compared with when he first joined the editorial department, Lin Weimin is much less human today.

Writers are just donkeys for publications. We can't let them live too comfortably, or there will be problems.

Except, of course, himself.

After get off work in the evening, Lin Weimin didn't bother to finish cooking, so he went back to the courtyard after eating outside.

As soon as he entered the house, before he could rest, he heard voices coming from the gate of the courtyard.

"For the people, open the door!"

Lin Weimin opened the courtyard door, and Wang Shuo's round face looked even richer, with a kind of triumphant spirit.

"Yo! Rare guest!" Lin Weimin greeted with a smile.

Wang Shuo still had a square face behind him, and he introduced: "This is my son Xie Jing. This is a great writer, Comrade Lin Weimin."

When Wang Shuo introduced, his tone was very unserious, which made everyone's teeth itch.

Lin Weimin greeted Xie Jing and let them into the courtyard.

"It has to be your small courtyard, clean and elegant, and you don't want to leave when you come here." Wang Shuo lay carelessly on the deck chair under the tree.

His acquaintance is not annoying, Lin Weimin asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, how is your business going?"

Lin Weimin's words pierced Wang Shuo's heart, and he got up excitedly, "Hey! Tell me, buddy, this time it's hard!"

Lin Weimin looked at Xie Jing, "He said the same to others?"

Xie Jing said with a smile: "How can it be, just with you. We are usually very tight-lipped, and we never leak a word."

Wang Shuo said before that he would go to the South with a friend to do business, and that friend was Xie Jing.

Xie Jing is about the same age as Wang Shuo. He was discharged from the army the year before last. He was admitted to Capital Normal University last year, but dropped out after less than a year of study. Now he is a cadre of a district government in Yanjing.

Lin Weimin nodded and said, "What you two are doing is serious. It's good to be strict."

He knew that Xie Jing was from the third generation of Red, with a strong background, but these days, don't mention them.

Wang Shuo said: "Don't worry, we just make a lot of money silently."

"Have you eaten yet?" Lin Weimin asked.

"No. Isn't this going to come over and treat you to dinner!"

"I've just finished eating."

Wang Shuo pulled Lin Weimin back, "I didn't tell you to eat. Go, have a drink!"

It can be seen that Wang Shuo, who has made money, has got rid of the depressed state of the past few days, and is a little swollen while being proud.

Wang Shuo wanted to drag Lin Weimin to Lao Mo to eat Russian food, but Lin Weimin refused, "Why drink Russian food?"

A few people found a restaurant on the street, ordered a few dishes and drank.

Xie Jing said: "He is a real person for the people."

Lin Weimin asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?"

"There are people who can refuse to eat with Lao Mo, but you are the first to say that Lao Mo is not suitable for drinking."

He glanced at Wang Shuo, his eyes full of disdain, "It's only this kind of ram who just made three melons and two dates, who wants to go to Lao Mo for a drink."

Wang Shuo didn't get angry when he was despised. He and Xie Jing grew up in the Training Camp and had a deep relationship.

"Yes, yes, my eyelids are shallow, so I can't compare to you two." Wang Shuo said with irony.

After a few jokes, the topic of the few people unconsciously turned to the topic of "speculation", and the few people spoke in a low voice.

Wang Shuo and Xie Jing went to Yangcheng, where they bought electronic watches for 85 yuan and sold them for [-] yuan when they came back.

In order to sell the goods, the two did not go to bulk goods after they delivered the goods to Yanjing. Instead, they found some friends and gave them a commission of 30 yuan as long as they could sell a watch.

Driven by profit, the business of Wang Shuo and his wife went very smoothly, and they have made tens of thousands of dollars in two months.

Wang Shuo was elated when he talked about it, and Lin Weimin's heart was moved when he heard it.

However, he also knew that the nature of Wang Shuo and the others' matter was pure speculation, and if they were caught, they would be squatting on the fence.

Wang Shuo is a student of the big courtyard, and he is escorted by a young man like Xie Jing. Just seeing that Xie Jing is now a cadre and does not go to work to do business, he knows how strong his relationship is.

This kind of business cannot be done by ordinary people.

After drinking a lot of wine and coming out of the tavern drunk, Lin Weimin still reminded Wang Shuo, "Be careful when doing business, don't be too ostentatious!"

"I understand! Don't worry."

Wang Shuo said carelessly with a red face.
