Literary Master 1978

Early the next morning, Lin Chaoyang took Tao Yushu to the hospital. After examination, it was confirmed that she was more than seven weeks pregnant.

They were mentally prepared, and they had already forgotten the negative pressure that might have arisen from the arrival of this little life, and were delighted after confirming it.

After leaving the hospital, Tao Yushu asked Lin Chaoyang, "What should we do next?"

"Let's go sit down at Lao Lin's house. He was busy with the transfer, and something like this happened. We have to go and say sorry."

Tao Yushu nodded, as it should be.

The couple drove to the courtyard of the Yanjing Literary and Art Association, and Lin Jinlan happened to be at home. Originally, he was greeting several relatives and friends. When he saw Lin Chaoyang and his wife coming, he immediately enthusiastically invited them into the study.

Lin Jinlan thought they were here to pay New Year greetings, and said with a smile: "You two are rare visitors!"

After exchanging a few words, Lin Jinlan mentioned Tao Yushu's job transfer again.

"Two days ago to celebrate the New Year, I told the leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles about your transfer, and the leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles were very supportive.

Yushu, you graduated from our Yanjing City Federation of Literary and Art Circles. You trained in "People's Literature" and then came back, so you can add more responsibilities. "

Lin Jinlan's tone was full of appreciation for Tao Yushu, and her expression unconsciously revealed a bit of embarrassment.

"Old Lin!" Lin Chaoyang said sternly to Lin Jinlan, "I came with Yushu today just for work."

Looking at Lin Chaoyang's expression, Lin Jinlan noticed something strange and asked, "What's the matter? People's Literature doesn't want to release it?"

"No, Yushu is pregnant." Lin Chaoyang said calmly.

"Oh!"

Lin Jinlan couldn't help but let out an unexpected cry when he heard this.

"Pregnant?" Lin Jinlan couldn't help but cast his eyes on Tao Yushu's lower abdomen, and then realized that it was impolite to do so. He looked away and asked, "Have you confirmed it? Have you gone to the hospital for a checkup?"

Tao Yushu nodded firmly, "I checked, I am indeed pregnant, 8 weeks."

"Ah!" Lin Jinlan nodded slowly, slowly digesting the information in his heart.

After hesitating for a while, he asked: "What about the job..."

Lin Chaoyang said: "Old Lin, you know this policy now, and the transfer will definitely not be possible. You also know Yushu's character, she is so strong.

With this incident, even if I can keep my job, I will not be happy in the workplace in the future. I thought, I might as well resign. "

Hearing this, Lin Jinlan was shocked again, "Resign? Yushu has done such a good job."

In his words, he was full of regret for Tao Yushu's resignation.

Seeing Lin Jinlan's attitude, Tao Yushu's expression darkened, "There's nothing we can do about it. This little guy is here with all his travels, how can we keep him away?"

When Tao Yushu spoke, he placed his hand gently on his abdomen, and the brilliance of motherhood shone between his brows.

Lin Jinlan was also touched by her emotions, "That's the truth."

Then he laughed again, "If someone wants to resign, I will have to persuade them. Your family's financial conditions are here, and since you and your wife have discussed it, I will not persuade them."

In the literary world, everyone knows that Lin Chaoyang is famous and his works are famous. In addition, his income has always been a topic of discussion among many people in the literary world.

His royalties are high and his output is high, so his royalties have always been among the first in the literary world.

Last year, the royalty payment system caused a lot of controversy, and Lin Chaoyang became the first pioneer in the country to receive "royalties". In recent months, how much royalties Lin Chaoyang received has become a hot topic in the literary world.

All in all, Lin Chaoyang's income far exceeds that of ordinary writers and ordinary working-class people, so whether the couple works or not will not have any impact on their lives.

Tao Yushu apologized, "It's nothing to resign. The main thing is that I failed to live up to your good intentions."

Lin Jinlan quickly smiled and waved his hand, "Hey! What does it have to do with it? Anyway, the transfer hasn't been done yet, so it doesn't matter."

"Old Lin, if Yushu doesn't come to you, who do you plan to use as the deputy editor?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

Lin Jinlan asked: "Do you have anyone else to recommend to me?"

Lin Chaoyang shook his head, "There are no recommended candidates, but there is one who is jumping up and down. If Yushu doesn't go and you don't choose him, he will probably remember you forever."

Lin Jinlan laughed when he heard this, "Then the deputy editor must find him?"

After the joke, Lin Jinlan said seriously: "If Yushu doesn't come, this guy Li Tuo is indeed a suitable candidate. Don't mention this to him yet, just let him go for a while. Only in this way can he cherish this opportunity and work hard in the future." ”

"Being a leader is different!" Lin Chaoyang joked to Lin Jinlan.

After talking about the business, Lin Jinlan wanted to stay with Lin Chaoyang and his wife at home for dinner, but they declined politely.

After leaving Lin Jinlan's house, the couple came to the Overseas Chinese Apartment again. Only Zhang Guiqin was at home. Lin Erchun was nowhere to be seen. He was either on the way to collect rent or on the way to buy a house.

In the evening, when Lin Erchun came back, Lin Chaoyang announced the news of pregnancy. Lin Erchun and his wife were immediately overjoyed.

In the concept of the elderly, there is no such thing as family planning, late birth, eugenics, and a happy life. It is true that more children bring more blessings and people are prosperous.

Lin Erchun paced back and forth excitedly after hearing the news, "Oh! Oh! This is really great. I originally thought that Dongdong was too lonely, and now he has a brother or sister, so he can take care of him when he grows up."

He was so happy that Zhang Guiqin asked, "Chaoyang, isn't family planning now implemented? Yushu is pregnant..."

"Mom, I have discussed with Yushu that she will resign first and find something to do after giving birth."

Zhang Guiqin showed regret on her face, "Resignation, what a pity. Can you discuss with the leader? We don't need a salary, and the family doesn't lack that little money."

Lin Chaoyang was immediately at a loss for words. Just as he was about to answer her, Lin Erchun got the first answer.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can you still negotiate on this? Let Yushu have a baby first.

She graduated from Yanshi University. What kind of job can't she find?

If it doesn't work out, let's go collect rent together.

To be honest, I really need to find someone. Now there are more and more houses and more and more tenants. I'm a little too busy."

Comrade Erchun's "landlord plan" has been going on for more than a year. During this period, he has bought 9 courtyard houses alone, and the number of tenants has exceeded 110.

Looking at houses, buying houses, repairing houses, renting houses...

This year has kept him busy. He often goes out without breakfast in the morning and returns home in the dark in the evening.

But with such a busy schedule, the income is naturally considerable.

In this year, Lin Erchun has earned more than 10,000 yuan just from collecting rent. Excluding the less than 2,000 yuan spent on repairing the house, he has a net profit of more than 8,000 yuan a year.

Of course, this does not include the money for buying houses. Lin Erchun spent more than 60,000 yuan on buying houses in more than a year.

But even if the purchase price is included, Lin Erchun's income this year is quite considerable.

The most important thing is that the housing prices in Yanjing have been rising slowly in the past two years, and the future appreciation of the house is the biggest benefit.

At this stage, Lin Erchun can't see that far. He only knows that buying a house and collecting rent is a good business, and he is more confident when the housing prices rise, and he is not afraid of losing money at all.

"Come on!" Zhang Guiqin didn't give him face at all, "You are showing off for collecting rent. We Yushu are intellectuals and don't want to do this business."

For a long time, whether Tao Yushu is in "Yanjing Literature" or "People's Literature", the elders in the family are proud of her job. Being an editor of a famous magazine in the country, what a good job!

Zhang Guiqin took Tao Yushu's hand and comforted her: "Then give birth to a child first. After the child is born, let Chaoyang think of a way. Doesn't he have many friends? It just happens that this time it can come in handy."

Tao Yushu and Lin Chaoyang looked at each other, and then told the countermeasures they discussed with their husband and wife.

After listening to the story, Lin Erchun and Zhang Guiqin were naturally worried, but they also understood that Lin Chaoyang was now very capable and could think more carefully about many things than they had considered.

The family talked about the details in detail again. After dinner, Lin Chaoyang and his wife returned to Xiaoliubukou Hutong.

The next day, Tao Yushu went to work and did not see Wang Meng. Wang Meng was not on duty at People's Literature, so his appearance in the editorial office was not fixed. Tao Yushu could only go to his home with Lin Chaoyang in the evening.

After listening to the couple's story, Wang Meng also looked regretful.

He pondered and said, "You can't go to Yanjing Literature, so why don't you stay at People's Literature? Yushu is still young and will definitely have opportunities in the future. If someone keeps harping on this matter, I'll go and talk to them."

Wang Meng's statement made Tao Yushu feel warm in her heart, but she still said, "Forget it, let's not cause trouble for you and the magazine. Old Wang, thank you for your kindness."

Wang Meng has worked with Tao Yushu for more than a year and knows her personality and attitude very well.

As long as Wang Meng comes forward, Tao Yushu's work will definitely not be affected. As for promotion, that will be a matter for the future.

Tao Yushu didn't want to be criticized for this matter. Instead of being talked about behind her back to keep her job, it would be better to resign in a free and easy manner.

To sum it up, it's one word-decent.

After learning about the pregnancy, Lin Chaoyang and his wife made a decision so quickly, and then went to communicate with Lin Jinlan and Wang Meng about this matter. The main reason is this.

Although being an editor of the most famous literary magazine in this country is a very glorious and respectable job, for Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu, whether or not they have this job will hardly have any impact on them.

After talking with Wang Meng about resignation, Tao Yushu took the initiative to urge Wang Meng to complete the resignation procedures for her in the principle of cutting the Gordian knot.

It was not until the day when Tao Yushu completed the procedures that her colleagues at the People's Literature magazine learned about her resignation. Everyone was stunned when they heard the news.

A few days ago, everyone was still saying that Tao Yushu was going to return to Yanjing Literature as deputy editor-in-chief. How could she resign out of the blue after only a few days?

Facing the concern and questions of her colleagues, Tao Yushu explained the reasons openly, and everyone naturally couldn't help but sigh again.

As everyone gathered around Tao Yushu and asked him questions, Wang Meng suggested, “Although Yushu has been at People’s Literature for a short time, everyone has witnessed his work attitude and achievements over the past year. Let’s express our gratitude and farewell to Yushu with applause!”

After he finished speaking, the office burst into applause.

As Wang Meng said, Tao Yushu has handled many excellent manuscripts since she came to People's Literature. With Wang Meng's support, she has discovered many young writers such as Mo Yan, Yu Hua, and A Cheng.

For Tao Yushu of her age and qualifications, it is very rare to achieve such results.

And what Tao Yushu admires most is her always enthusiastic and tireless work attitude.

Although having such a colleague around does bring certain mental pressure to everyone, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of people like Tao Yushu that the editorial department can form such a positive and progressive atmosphere.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and Wang Fu smiled and asked: "Editor-in-chief, let's just applaud to send her off?"

As soon as she said this, everyone immediately started to make a noise.

Wang Meng pressed his hand to quiet everyone down, and said loudly: "Okay. Then Donglaishun will send Yushu home to take care of the baby tonight."

Everyone laughed loudly.
