Literary Master 1978

After the screening, Lin Chaoyang chatted with the leaders for a long time. Du Ruolin suddenly said with emotion, "The pension for martyrs is too low now. We are sorry for our comrades!"

His words aroused the unanimous agreement of the generals present. Today, the pension for our soldiers is still the standard of 515 yuan set during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. After 30 years, this standard has not changed at all.

"It is indeed too low. But even with such a pension, almost none of our martyrs' families have asked the organization for it."

"This standard should be adjusted. We can't let our martyrs' families bleed and cry!"

Speaking of it, all the people present are generals, but they are also a group of veterans who have come through the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. They can empathize with the efforts and sacrifices of grassroots officers and soldiers.

Taking advantage of such an opportunity today, someone raised the issue of pensions. Everyone did not need to communicate, and immediately unified the caliber, giving the pressure to the third leader, who is the highest leader present today.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? No one else is here today, so I'm the only one who's easy to bully, right?"

"Look at what you said. You're the leader, and we're reporting the situation to you!"

The veterans who had gone through so much hardship were all used to life and death. Facing the evasion of the No. 3 leader, they showed no fear at all. They surrounded the leader and talked to him, and the situation was out of control for a while.

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the big leader to report my work in a few days, and I'll definitely mention this matter." The No. 3 leader was so annoyed by these old guys that he had to agree to their request.

Lin Chaoyang witnessed the old generals fighting with the leader for the rights of the soldiers. Although he didn't know what the final result would be, he couldn't help but feel proud when he thought that this incident was caused by his work.

The sensational effect of "The Wreath Under the Mountain" lasted throughout the last month of 1983. This phenomenal film that shocked the film industry also brought a huge impact to the Chinese cultural community.

As the movie became popular, the original novel of "The Wreath Under the Mountain" was first snapped up by the audience, and it was hard to find a copy.

Various movie magazines and media were talking about the movie and the concept of "Xu Lingjun Year". Young people were proud of their military uniforms. The bell-bottom pants and jeans that were popular in the past two years suddenly disappeared this winter.

After New Year's Day, Yan University was about to go on vacation, and the school specially borrowed a copy of "The Wreath Under the Mountain" for students to show.

Although many students had already watched the movie in the cinema, when the movie was shown in the dining hall, it was still crowded with enthusiastic college students.

The dining hall was just transformed into a lecture hall this year, with fixed seats and a stage installed, and it was used specifically as a lecture hall and auditorium.

After the movie was over, the lecture hall was silent. Some people wiped their tears, some were thinking seriously, and more people were reluctant to leave for a long time.

At this time, the college students who were still immersed in the movie actually saw that He Wei, the actor who played Jin Kailai, appeared in the lecture hall.

The students were excited. They all rushed over, surrounded him tightly, and caressed his face affectionately.

This was the hero they saw in the movie. The students were as devout as worshipping an idol. As He Wei appeared, the applause and shouts continued for a long time.

Lin Chaoyang was in the corner of the lecture hall, watching the scene in front of him, and was very worried that He Wei would be squeezed into a photo by the students.

He said to the person in charge of the school Youth League Committee, "Xiao Li, your safety awareness needs to be improved!"

"Teacher Lin, if you are worried, you can meet everyone on the stage."

Lin Chaoyang waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm a behind-the-scenes staff, not that popular."

Soon, Lin Chaoyang was slapped in the face by his own words.

His face was more famous than the president of Yan University. As soon as he appeared, the students' enthusiasm reached the peak directly, surging towards him like a tide, and Lin Chaoyang was shocked and rolled onto the stage.

Yanda University was going to screen "The Garland Under the Mountain" and specially invited He Wei, the actor who played Jin Kailai in the movie. As a novelist, screenwriter and employee of Yanda University, Lin Chaoyang naturally could not miss the event, so he worked another day today.

The heated exchange lasted for more than half an hour. Lin Chaoyang bowed to the students to express his gratitude, and thunderous applause broke out in the lecture hall again.

"The Garland Under the Mountain" was screened in the lecture hall for two consecutive days, allowing Yanda students to see this year's most popular movie as they wished before the holiday.

After the screening, the winter vacation life of college students also began.

For Lin Chaoyang, it made no difference whether there was a winter vacation or not, because he didn't go to work anyway.

It was already the twelfth lunar month two days after New Year's Day, and it was already Laba after the holiday.

This period was the coldest in Yanjing in a year, and Lin Chaoyang stayed at home and was reluctant to go out easily.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. The snowflakes were as big as fingernails and fell down in a scattering manner. In a short while, a layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.

The house was warm as spring. Lin Chaoyang stood in front of the glass window, the teacup in his hand was filled with steam. He murmured to himself, "This snow is a bit heavy!"

"Ah~ah~ah~"

On the floor of the house, Xiao Dongdong took steps without recognizing his relatives, and staggered to learn to walk under the encouragement of Tao Yumo.

Tao Yumo stood three or five steps in front of him, and opened her hands to him with a smile on her face, "Xiao Dongzi, come here quickly, come to your aunt's arms!"

Xiao Dongdong kept making anxious sounds, but unfortunately her feet were not very nimble. The more anxious she got, the more she went astray, and finally she stumbled and fell two steps away from Tao Yumo.

He fell to the ground with a plop and snatched a dog's shit, but he didn't cry.

Lying firmly on the ground, he tilted his head and looked at Tao Yumo with a silly smile.

This smile made his mouth water uncontrollably, and Tao Yumo quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

"Stop being silly, you drool when you have fun. When will your mouth sores go away? I don't know what your parents think of it!"

Lin Chaoyang turned a deaf ear to his sister-in-law's taunts. Seeing the snow falling more and more outside, he put down the teacup in his hand, turned to Tao Yumo and said:

"Yu Mo, look at Dongdong, I'll pick up your sister!"

Before Tao Yumo could reply, Lin Chaoyang had already left the door.

Looking at his brother-in-law's anxious back, Tao Yumo held his eldest nephew in his arms.

"Oh! Dongzi, why do I feel like you were picked up by your parents?"

"Ah~ah?"

"You think so, right? These two people only care about themselves and don't care about our feelings at all."

"ah!"

"No, I've never seen such irresponsible parents."

"Ah!"

"Auntie, you have it in your heart, right? It's better that I treat you well!"

"Ah~"

"When you grow up, you can't forget your aunt."

"Ahhh!"

"That's right. You want to buy a motorcycle for your aunt when you get rich in the future. It's really hard for your aunt to go to work. It's dozens of kilometers away!"

"Wow~wow~"

Xiao Dongdong suddenly started to cry, and Tao Yumo looked moved, "You still feel sorry for me, dear baby!"

Tao Yumo kissed Xiao Dongdong's cheek twice, and suddenly felt a heat in her chest, and her face suddenly fell.

"You're already wearing a diaper, why are you still peeing on me? I think you deserve a beating!"

"Ah! Ah!"

Dongsibatiao Hutong, inside the editorial office building of "People's Literature".

It was only around two o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing that the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, Liu Jianqing, the deputy editor, asked everyone to get off work early to avoid going back late. The snow was falling too much and it was difficult to walk on the road.

He is always a good guy, and as soon as he said this, he immediately attracted praise from his colleagues in the editorial department.

Everyone packed their things and got ready to get off work, but Tao Yushu still sat there calmly and read the manuscript.

"Yushu, hurry up and leave. It will snow heavily later and it will be difficult to ride the car." Zhu Wei reminded.

Tao Yushu was fascinated by the manuscript, and replied without raising his head: "You guys go first, I will leave after I finish reading the manuscript, very soon."

While talking, colleagues left the editorial office one after another.

Tao Yushu was the only one left in the huge office, and the only sound in the office was her turning papers.

"Bang bang!" Two knocks suddenly came from the office door.

Tao Yushu woke up from being immersed in the story. She got up and opened the door, only to see a young man with an immature face standing at the door. There was still a lot of snow falling on his shoulders and head, which had not yet melted.

In Tao Yushu's opinion, the young man's clothes were not suitable for the current temperature in Yanjing. The lower body's trousers were slender and did not look like he was wearing cotton pants. The upper body was actually wearing a sweater, but only an autumn jacket was worn outside.

Such clothing seems too thin in weather like today.

"Hello, I'm looking for Teacher Tao!"

The young man spoke with a slight accent from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and the word "crooked tongue" was replaced by "flat tongue".

Listening to his words, Tao Yushu's eyes lit up, "Are you Yu Hua from Zhejiang?"

When Yu Hua saw Tao Yushu calling out his name at once, a smile appeared on his face. When he smiled, his eyelids drooped down, like a naive dog.

"Are you Teacher Tao? I am Yu Hua."

"Come in quickly, come in quickly!"

Tao Yushu let Yu Hua enter the office. It was the first time he walked into the editorial department of a literary magazine. It was also the top literary magazine in the country. Yu Hua felt unspeakably nervous.

His eyes looked around at the environment in the office. There seemed to be nothing special about the desks, piles of manuscripts, and potted plants on the windowsill.

Tao Yushu asked him to sit down and poured him a cup of hot tea, "I didn't expect you to arrive today."

Yu Hua sat on the chair and put his bag on the table. "I set out on the day I received your letter. I just didn't expect it to be so cold in Yanjing."

"Do you think the winter in the north is a joke? Your clothes are too thin. Have you brought any thick clothes?"

"I brought one."

Tao Yushu knew from his tone that he must be wearing thin clothes, "Is it your first time in Yanjing?"

Yu Hua nodded.

"Go back and buy some thick clothes." Tao Yushu warned.

Yu Hua vaguely agreed. He didn't bring much money when he came. The key was that he didn't have nationwide votes.

After chatting for a while, Tao Yushu took Yu Hua to meet deputy editor Liu Jianqing.

When Liu Jianqing saw Yu Hua, he had a cordial conversation with him and told him to revise the manuscript with peace of mind here.

"You have to be careful about this. Originally, there was no need to come to Yanjing to revise the short story like yours.

It is Comrade Yushu who thinks you are a promising talent and wants you to come to Yanjing to communicate more with editors and gain some knowledge. That is why you have such an opportunity. You must seize it. "

After listening to Liu Jianqing's words, Yu Hua realized that it was not easy for him to come to Beijing to revise his manuscript. He nodded repeatedly.

"That's it for now. Yushu, take him upstairs first, and take care of his daily life."

"Okay."

Tao Yushu led Yu Hua out and was about to take him upstairs when he saw Lin Chaoyang coming up the stairs.

"Why are you here?"

"It's snowing so hard, I came to pick you up!" Lin Chaoyang said gently with a smile on his face.

As he spoke, he glanced at the young man next to Tao Yushu.

Oh hey!

Isn't this a sloppy puppy?

Seeing his eyes looking over, Tao Yushu introduced the two people: "This is Yu Hua, a young author from Zhejiang, and this is my wife..."

Before Tao Yushu finished the introduction, the office door behind Tao Yushu and Yu Hua opened, and Liu Jianqing walked out of the office and immediately smiled warmly when he saw Lin Chaoyang.

"Chaoyang! It's you. I think your voice is similar to yours."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and shook hands with Liu Jianqing. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Jianqing asked, "Are you here to pick up Yushu?"

"Yes, it's snowing heavily outside."

Liu Jianqing said to Tao Yushu, "Yushu, why don't you go first? I'll make arrangements for Yuhua. I have to leave soon anyway."

"It's okay. Just a few minutes. Wait for me."

She said the last sentence to Lin Chaoyang.

After she finished speaking, she quickly took Yuhua upstairs. After making some simple arrangements, she went downstairs to meet up with Lin Chaoyang.

"Let's go!"

The couple walked out of the building hand in hand. It was snowing heavily outside, and their figures were hidden in the white wind and snow.

Yu Hua upstairs put down his luggage and looked around the room. After he lost his sense of novelty, he stood in front of the window and happened to see the figures of the couple gradually disappearing.

Teacher Tao and his wife are really in love!
