1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 155 The Second Entry Court next to the Forbidden City

Colleagues gathered to discuss Lu Yao and "Life".

Lu Yao can be said to be a writer cultivated by "Contemporary". Now his works are on the rise, and everyone is happy for him, and even more happy that "Contemporary" can cultivate such a writer.

Rong Shihui sighed: "It's worthwhile to travel all the way to Shaanxi for the sake of the people, this time Lu Yao really lives up to expectations."

Everyone looked at Lin Weimin with a bit of envy in their eyes. The writers under him had achieved results, and the responsible editor also had a bright face!
Lin Weimin chatted with everyone with a smile, and Xie Mingqing walked into the office.

"Wind Sound" has been confirmed in the November issue of "People's Literature", and he came to send Lin Weimin a bill for the manuscript.

"The Wind" is a full-length novel with a full text of 20 words. "People's Literature" still offered the top 12-word fee standard of 2000 yuan, and now Lin Weimin received more than [-] yuan, which made his colleagues tease and envy him.

After Xie Mingqing left, everyone started working.

Lin Weimin continued to review the manuscripts piled up on his desk, and Yu Huaxin sent him two manuscripts, both short stories.

After reading it carefully for a long time, this kid has improved a lot, but these two works still feel a bit lacking in taste.

Lin Weimin wrote down his review comments in detail, and then wrote a letter to Yu Hua.

These days, there are many literary lovers, and the editorial department receives a huge number of submission letters every day. If each submission has to reply or give detailed comments, the editors will be exhausted.

Therefore, most editorial departments will attach a rejection letter that has been printed in advance and has a uniform format. Yu Hua's treatment is obviously much higher than that of those who submit letters.

After a busy day, Lin Weimin got off work a little earlier. He first went to the post office to collect the manuscript fee, and then deposited the money.

Before we knew it, our savings had exceeded 2 yuan, so we will go to see the house tomorrow!
Before Lin Weimin told his colleagues and friends that he wanted to buy a house, everyone paid attention to him.

However, Lin Weimin's requirements are not low. Don't look at the fact that there have been many houses sold in Yanjing City in the past two years, but there are not many courtyard houses with no disputes, single-family houses, and superior geographical locations. selling.

Everyone helped to ask around, and Li Guangfu, the old Yanjing, found him a yard with similar conditions.

After get off work the next day, Li Guangfu met Lin Weimin on his bicycle at the gate of the Guowen Society, and led him to ride towards the Forbidden City.

When they got near the Forbidden City, they turned a corner and rode on Beichizi Street, and walked for less than a minute, and entered the alley.

The alley is very short, with a T-shape at the end, and the yard is at the head of the alley.

Li Guangfu and Lin Weimin came to the gate of the courtyard. Li Guangfu introduced: "This courtyard is next to the Forbidden City. You look at the courtyard diagonally across. It is the former residence of Chen Zhongfu, and now it is the editorial department of the "New Youth" magazine. Just now There is a yard further along the street, Yuan Lizhun, have you heard of it? He wrote the inscription on the 'Xinhua Gate', and his yard is right in front..."

Before entering the courtyard, Li Guangfu gave Lin Weimin a detailed introduction to the surrounding environment, mainly highlighting a former residence of a celebrity.

Introducing the yard to a great writer like Mr. Lin, mentioning the location and supporting facilities is just vulgar, and you need a bit of culture.

After introducing the surrounding environment, Li Guangfu knocked on the door knocker of the Xun Gate of the Siheyuan.

"Hello, Mr. Zong!" The person who opened the door was an old man who seemed to be over sixty years old.

As Li Guangfu introduced just now, this person, surnamed Zong, is a teacher at Yanjing Institute of Technology.

Nodding his head and saying hello, Mr. Zong's performance was a bit dull, it seemed that he was not good at talking.

After entering the door, Lin Weimin and the two found that there were many people living in his house.

The courtyard has two entrances. Compared with the small yard with one entrance at home, this two-entry courtyard is much more elegant.

If we use an analogy, the two-entry courtyard is basically formed by expanding vertically on the basis of the one-entry courtyard.

Usually, a barrier wall is added between the south gables of the east and west wing rooms to separate the inside and outside of the courtyard, and the inverted house is separated from the outer courtyard, thus forming a secondary courtyard.Open a second door in the middle of the partition wall, and the second door is a door with the wall.

The courtyard of Mr. Zong’s house will be built with a vertical flower gate along with the wall gate. The old BJ people like to call the house with the vertical flower gate a “zhaimen”.

Mr. Zong’s family seems to have a large population. After living there all year round, there are many small problems in the details, but the overall maintenance is very good.

After watching the house, Mr. Zong invited Lin Weimin and Li Guangfu into the main room for tea.

Several people were sitting in the room, and the children of Mr. Zong's family would lie on the glass of the window and look into the room.

Teacher Zong got up and drove the children away, then turned to Lin Weimin and apologized, "Children are not sensible."

When looking at the house just now, Mr. Zong introduced that he does not own this house alone, and all three brothers in his family own it.He is over [-] years old this year and is the eldest in the family. The two brothers are not a few years younger than him, and both have grandchildren.Teacher Zong's eldest grandson is now even talking about marriage.

The reason for selling the house this time is entirely because the family has too many people.When I was young, the family population was small, and the relationship between brothers was considered harmonious. There was nothing wrong with living in the same yard.

But now, as the number of people in the family increases and the housing conditions become tense, it is inevitable that so many people will stumble when living together, and the conflicts have accumulated to the point where it is difficult to reconcile.

Teacher Zong is an old-fashioned person, and he doesn't want to separate the family from the bottom of his heart, but now his children and grandchildren are arguing so badly that even the two brothers are very dissatisfied, and he can't bear it anymore.

Today when Lin Weimin came to see the house, his family was a little excited, and many of them didn't even go to work.

On the one hand, it was because I heard that the person who came to see the house was a great writer, and on the other hand, I was hoping that the house would be sold quickly.

The juniors are pointing to the money from the sale of the house and going to buy a building in their hands. That house is much more comfortable and more respectable than this old dilapidated courtyard house.

Teacher Zong is rigid and dull, even with Li Guangfu as the middleman, he would have killed him at a price of [-]. Li Guangfu would not let go of his mouth.

Li Guangfu was also in a hurry, "Hey, my teacher Zong, without you doing business like this, asking prices all over the sky to pay back the money, how come you are here, and you don't let anything go?"

Teacher Zong said convincingly, "I'm not asking for the price. I've inquired about it. The asking price is a bit expensive. But our yard is neat, and the main beams are all made of nanmu. You won't lose money if you buy it."

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "Teacher Zong, that's not what you said. I'm here to buy a house, not wood."

"That's right, Mr. Zong, at least you can show your sincerity and make room for it."

Li Guangfu also echoed from the side, and the two exchanged a few words back and forth, and Teacher Zong finally changed his mind.

"Can you really buy it?"

Li Guangfu looked at Lin Weimin and nodded, "As long as the price is right, we can set it today."

"Then I'll discuss it."

Teacher Zong walked out of the main room and called the family members together to discuss.

Li Guangfu said to Lin Weimin in a low voice: "I think the price of Mr. Zong's death is probably based on their family's head."

"Is there still such a calculation?"

When Li Guangfu introduced a house to Lin Weimin, he must know the seller's situation in advance, "Why don't you say that he is a rigid person? But this person is also kind, and the price is a little expensive. Let's cut it down for him. .”

The two waited in the room for almost half an hour before Teacher Zong came back and gave an offer of 1000 yuan.

Lin Weimin was a little surprised. He looked at Li Guangfu and saw him nodding. He knew that the price should be about the same.

"Teacher Zong is so refreshing!" Lin Weimin got up and shook hands with Teacher Zong, and settled the matter.

Witnessed by Li Guangfu, Lin Weimin first paid a deposit of 500 yuan to Mr. Zong's family, received the paperwork, and agreed to go through the formalities in two days.

Before leaving, Lin Weimin saw Li Guangfu chatting with Mr. Zong for a while. After the two left the yard, Li Guangfu explained the reason to Lin Weimin.

The reason why Mr. Zong has been out for so long is to unify the opinions of the family members.

But the family has a lot of people, people are not in the same place, everyone has their own ideas, some people agree to lower the price and sell it cheaper, some people are greedy and don't want to lower the price, the worst is to wait.

In the end, Mr. Zong discussed with the two brothers and lowered the price. The three elders suffered a bit and digested this part of the price themselves.

Li Guangfu shook his head and sighed: "I used to think that Mr. Zong's family was honest and kind. But now, the more people there are, the more chaotic things will be. They have too many thoughts."

"Every family has its cupboard!"

"Yes!"

A few days later, after the formalities for the house were completed, Lin Weimin's wallet shrank a lot in an instant.

Lin Weimin gave Mr. Zong's family a few more days. Their family has a large population, and it will take a few days to move.

After finally waiting for their house to be vacated, Lin Weimin brought Han Zhuangzhuang over to tidy up the house and yard.

Han Zhuangzhuang looked at the huge secondary courtyard with shock written all over his stupid and young face.

"Uncle, did you buy this house?"

"Ah."

Lin Weimin looked very satisfied with his nephew's expression, the young man is very supportive!
Han Zhuangzhuang stood in shock for a long time, and when Lin Weimin walked into the house, he followed, "Uncle, you are really rich!"

"When you become famous and famous in the future, it won't be a problem."

Han Zhuangzhuang had no confidence in his heart, and muttered: "Wait until I become famous and famous? Then I might as well wait to give you retirement!"

After he finished speaking, he took a guilty glance, but luckily the old uncle didn't hear it.

"Dangdang!"

The broom, pickle, and rag were thrown at Han Zhuangzhuang's feet, "Go to work!"

It's not that Lin Weimin didn't hear it, he just simply felt that the mental attack had no effect on Han Zhuangzhuang, a ramming product, and he still had to deal some physical damage to him.

Sure enough, within half an hour, Han Zhuangzhuang began to cry out tiredly.

"I can't do it. Uncle, I can't do it anymore."

"You know how to eat every day, and you just dawdle when you are asked to do some work. How long did it take you to do it?"

"When will we have a woman in our family!" Han Zhuangzhuang sighed, and he glanced at Lin Weimin, "Old uncle, please quickly find me an old aunt."

Lin Weimin squinted at Han Zhuangzhuang, "Then why don't you find me a niece and daughter-in-law?"

"If I can find it, you can tell me?" Han Zhuangzhuang muttered.

Bickering while working, the uncle and nephew have been busy for more than half a day, and the cleaning work of the courtyard is only half completed.

Lin Weimin began to feel a little regretful, the house was somewhat bigger!

"Uncle, why don't we come back tomorrow." Han Zhuangzhuang suggested in a low voice.

Lin Weimin nodded, this opinion is very good, "Okay, come over tomorrow and continue working."

"how about you?"

"I'm so busy all day, how can I have time to accompany you to do these tasks?"

Han Zhuangzhuang looked at Lin Weimin's handsome back, with grief and indignation on his face, "Is this your fucking house or my house?"

When he went to work the next day, Lin Weimin was sore all over and sighed.

Yao Shuzhi asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't mention it, tidying up the house."

"Is it so tiring to clean up the house? Your physique is too weak."

Liu Yin smiled and said, "Xiao Yao, don't you know something? The house they clean up is not the same as your house, what about the big yard they entered!"

She said to Lin Weimin: "I said Weimin, you are naked | showing off!"

Yao Shuzhi glared at Lin Weimin, "Sao Bao!"

Lin Weimin shouted: "You are wronging people a bit, didn't you ask?"

Joking with his colleagues, Meng Weizai walked in, "For the people, come here."

Lin Weimin got up and left the office, and saw Mr. Jin Shan standing in the corridor.

"Hello, Teacher Jin!" Lin Weimin greeted Jin Shan.

Jin Shan responded kindly, and after entering Meng Weizai's office, he said: "I went to Qindao a few days ago, and I have already agreed with the TV station that the TV series "The Cliff" will be produced by us. It is co-produced by Radio, Television and Television Art Committee and Qindao TV Station."

"That's really great!" Lin Weimin said happily.

Jin Shan continued: "I'm here this time to bring you something."

He said, and took out a manuscript fee bill from his bag, "Qindao TV Station has received your script, and they are very satisfied. I have also read the manuscript, and it is really well written, and hardly needs any changes. This is the manuscript fee for this time."

This era is different from later generations. The film and television remuneration for novels is generally not high, and they are all given in the name of manuscript fees.

"The Cliff" was adapted into a TV series this time. Firstly, Lin Weimin's original novel was used, and secondly, the adaptation was also completed by him himself. Therefore, Qindao TV station paid a considerable amount of manuscript fees, a total of 2000 or [-] yuan.

From this point of view, there is still a future for writing novels these days!

Lin Weimin thought so, and accepted the manuscript fee.

He chatted with Jin Shan about the progress of "The Cliff".

Now that Qindao TV Station is preparing for the crew, Ren Hao has already gone to Harbin, the capital of Longjiang Province, to survey the scenery, where the story of "The Cliff" took place.

"It's September now, and it will take at least a month for the crew to prepare, just for the actors. The story of "The Cliff" takes place in winter again. When we arrive in Harbin, the time is just right."

Lin Weimin asked in surprise, "Mr. Jin, are you going too?"

Jin Shan smiled and said, "I just went to see it in the early stage. Mr. Lin, if you have time, you can also go and see it!"

"If there is a chance, I will definitely go." Lin Weimin promised with a smile.
