Literary Master 1978

After talking about the manuscript, Lin Chaoyang returned to the library. When he passed by the triangle, he was stopped by the excited Chen Jiangong and Zou Shifang.

"Chaoyang, come take a photo!"

The leaders and guests took a group photo just now. Some left, and some were chatting with acquaintances.

The young people in charge of the preparation of the May Fourth Literary Society were so excited that they rushed forward to take a photo. When they saw Lin Chaoyang coming over, they wanted to pull him.

Lin Chaoyang saw the director Xie Daoyuan coming over and shook off Chen Jiangong's arm.

I don't know you well, don't get close to me!

"Director!"

Xie Daoyuan nodded, "Can I take a photo for you?"

"No, no." Lin Chaoyang waved his hand quickly.

He was caught by the director for being absent, and he dared to ask him to help take a photo?

"Please do your work first, I'm going back to the library." Lin Chaoyang ran away without looking back.

After taking a photo with Liu Xinwu, Chen Jiangong said with some regret: "Chaoyang is too low-key. I want to introduce him to you. His article "Horse Herder" completely inherits the core of your thoughts in "Class Teacher" and is very well written."

Liu Xinwu glanced at Lin Chaoyang's back, "Why is he running so fast?"

"He is from the library, and the director is here. How can he not run fast?"

"Interesting!" Liu Xinwu laughed, "I will definitely meet him next time I have the chance. By the way, when will his work be published?"

"I don't know, you have to ask Comrade Lao Zhou about this."

As soon as Zhou Yanru walked back to the crowd, Liu Xinwu came up to her to ask when Lin Chaoyang's "Horse Herder" would be published, and she immediately became alert.

You should know that Liu Xinwu is not only a writer, but also one of the editors of the newly established "October".

She heard that "October" is currently in need of manuscripts, especially short stories.

"The editorial board unanimously approved the publication, mainly because there are too many manuscripts recently, so we have to wait."

Chen Jiangong praised Lin Chaoyang and "The Horse Herder" like a flower. Liu Xinwu was just curious and asked, and he had no idea of ​​Zhou Yanru's mental journey.

After dealing with Liu Xinwu casually, Zhou Yanru's sense of crisis did not diminish.

Domestic literary creation is gradually loosening up, and literary magazines are constantly re-publishing. Every author with level and potential is a valuable resource for the magazine. We can't let Lin Chaoyang be abducted by other magazines.

"The Horse Herder" must be published as soon as possible, but thinking of the current personnel situation of "Yanjing Literature and Art", she was anxious again. Sometimes such things are not something she can decide alone.

That night, Tao Yushu came back from Yanshi University in a good mood. When Lin Chaoyang asked, she found out that it was her literary criticism on "Scars" that was praised by the teacher, and was going to recommend her to "Literary Gazette" which had just been re-published this summer.

"Oh my! My wife is going to be a literary critic!"

Lin Chaoyang's tone of praise was a little exaggerated. Tao Yushu was happy but also a little embarrassed.

"Don't talk nonsense. The Literary Gazette may not use it." Her cheeks were flushed with excitement, and she said, "Thanks to your suggestions."

Tao Yumo blackmailed the braised pork that afternoon. Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu discussed this article for a long time and gave her a lot of suggestions, which was considered a contribution.

"So the military medal is half yours and half mine? Then you give me half of the royalties!"

Hearing his words, Tao Yushu calmed down, "Why do husband and wife have to divide so clearly? Isn't mine yours? Besides, I have to save money to buy you a watch!"

"I was just joking with you!"

Lin Chaoyang was just testing it. Seeing that Tao Yushu was unmoved, he had to say it gently.

This girl is not easy to fool!

In a blink of an eye, it was the 29th. Today is Friday. This week is the National Day, and Sunday and next Monday are holidays.

While Lin Chaoyang was at work, he was planning where to go for vacation. He had been in Yanjing for more than a month, but he hadn't been out much.

At dinner, Tao Yumo looked at the dishes on the plate and couldn't help complaining: "It's already November, can't you cook more dishes? I don't have any oil or water in my stomach."

There were nine people in the Tao family, seven adults and two children. There were four dishes on the table, and only one plate of twice-cooked pork with some meat. The key was that there was not enough meat to share.

Complaints aside, the meal had to be eaten, and Tao Yumo's complaints were not groundless.

"Mom is really getting more and more excessive." After dinner, even Tao Yushu couldn't help complaining about tonight's meal.

Lin Chaoyang was also curious and asked: "Dad's salary is so high, Mom also has a pension, and we pay food expenses to our family every month. Why is the food at home so bad at the end of the month?"

Tao's father is a third-level professor with a monthly salary of 229 yuan. In a city where the average monthly income of urban residents is less than 70 yuan, he is now a high-income group.

"No money." Tao Yushu said casually.

Of course, she didn't really mean that she had no money. The Tao family had quite a bit of savings, but in this era, everyone's savings habit was that money went into the passbook but never went out.

Tao's father kept 29 yuan of his salary every month, and paid 200 yuan to the family, including Tao's mother's pension. Half of it was directly deposited into the bank every month, and the rest was the money used by the family.

"Yumo and Xiwen are still in school, and Xiwu still needs to drink milk powder. These little ones have to change clothes every year. The key is my brother..."

Tao Yushu didn't hesitate to say bad things about her brother-in-law behind his back.

"Your salary is not enough to spend, and you ask mom for money all day long!"

There's such a thing?

Not to mention, my brother-in-law really has a bit of the temperament of a parasite.

Lin Chaoyang recalled that when he first met his elder brother-in-law, Tao Yushu asked him if he had money. Lin Chaoyang thought that his elder brother-in-law was like him, and that he handed over all his income to his family. Could it be that Tao Yushu asked that question because he spent money too lavishly?

Lin Chaoyang gossiped: "Doesn't he give his elder sister-in-law household expenses?"

"Yes, I give him 30 yuan a month, and I have to go back before the middle of the month."

"Can I give him the money I got?" Lin Chaoyang was surprised.

"You know my elder sister-in-law's temper, and my brother is a man of lies. He cheated her out of money with just a few words."

When Tao Yushu said this, his tone was full of anger towards his elder sister-in-law Zhao Li.

Lin Chaoyang suddenly envied his elder brother-in-law. If Yushu could be as easy to talk to as his elder sister-in-law, why would he have to work hard every day to build a small treasury? He would have been lying down long ago.

I have to ask my elder brother-in-law for advice when I have the chance.

"What are you thinking about?" Tao Yushu looked at his face, as if he had some feelings.

"Nothing." Lin Chaoyang felt guilty for a moment and changed the subject: "Then Mom doesn't care about him?"

"Care? Spoil him! Who do you think spoiled him to be a dandy?" Tao Yushu became more and more angry as he spoke, "Mom favors boys over girls."

"Okay, okay, I didn't spend your money. I remember when I first came to Yanjing, your brother bought me a fish to welcome me." Lin Chaoyang advised.

"He loves to be generous outside!"

Tao Yushu mocked his brother, calmed down, and then said: "I don't like to talk about these things, but you have to ask me!"

Well, blame me!

"Let's go out and play on the eleventh!" Lin Chaoyang changed the subject.

After saying this, Tao Yushu looked embarrassed.

Lin Chaoyang had a bad feeling in his heart, "You don't have to go to class on the eleventh?"

"No. It's the article for the Literary Gazette. The editor asked me to revise it. It's just the two days off..."

Lin Chaoyang was furious and felt very wronged.

I was stood up again!
