Literary Master 1978.

Chapter 9 The Great Setback
Lin Chaoyang enjoyed Tao Yushu's service with peace of mind, and in the end it was the young man opposite who felt a little embarrassed. The newlyweds showed their affection without any hesitation.

Lin Chaoyang was also very interested in this young man because he noticed the school badge pinned on the left side of his chest.

Yan University.

Last year, the college entrance examination was resumed, and four people from the county were admitted to college. Tao Yushu had the best score and was admitted to Yanshi University. This year is the second year of the college entrance examination, and it seems that there is a person from the county who was admitted to Yanshi University, but he has not yet registered at the school, so he certainly does not have a school badge.

"Little brother, judging from your school badge, are you a student of Yanda University?" Lin Chaoyang took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the young man.

The young man showed a reserved smile, which contained a bit of pride. "Yes."

"Great, great." Lin Chaoyang complimented with a smile.

"Brother, are you also going to study in Yanjing?" the young man asked naturally.

"I'm not qualified to take the college entrance examination." Lin Chaoyang said with a smile.

He only has a junior high school education and has no chance to register for college entrance examination.

The young man asked, "Are you going on a business trip?"

"No, I am accompanying my wife to go to college."

Lin Chaoyang glanced at Tao Yushu as he spoke. She was a little speechless, but still cooperated and took out the school badge from her pocket and pinned it on her chest.

Yenching Normal University.

The young man looked at Tao Yushu again, his eyes revealing a bit of admiration.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Chaoyang was no longer "there's something special", but: You old thing!
Judging from her appearance, Tao Yushu has a bright and elegant appearance and outstanding temperament. Now with the blessing of the famous Yenching Normal University, she can be said to be both talented and beautiful.

As for Lin Chaoyang, he has an ordinary appearance, fair complexion, and can be considered average. He just said that he is not qualified to go to university. It can be said that he has neither talent nor looks.

To be able to marry such an outstanding partner, you must have something to rely on.

The young man has already started to imagine a vulgar story about a cadre's son who falls in love with an outstanding young woman, and then pesters her and pursues her relentlessly, and finally wins her over with both soft and hard tactics.

but……

He looked at Lin Chaoyang again, who was enjoying the green onions rolled in dried tofu that Tao Yushu had given him with a contented look on his face.

Well, this lesbian must have some leverage over him.

"Come on, come on, let's eat something together."

Lin Chaoyang enthusiastically handed the young man a handful of pickled vegetables. The young man wanted to be reserved, but he could not withstand Lin Chaoyang's enthusiasm.

As they ate and talked, the two quickly became familiar with each other.

The young man is Zhang Yaozhong, 20 years old this year, and he also entered university in , and is now studying in the Chinese Department of Yenching University. His family is from Shanghai, and this time he came to the Northeast to visit his grandmother during the summer vacation.

"The Chinese Department of Yanda University. I wanted to take the entrance exam!"

When Tao Yushu heard that Zhang Yaozhong was studying in the Chinese Department of Yan University, there was a hint of regret in his tone.

Lin Chaoyang knew that Tao Yushu's regret was because of his father, but Zhang Yaozhong didn't know. His school was what others dreamed of, which made him look a little proud.

"Teachers University is also very good. One of my classmates also took the entrance exam to the Normal University."

As they were chatting, Tao Yushu suddenly noticed the copy of "Yenching Literature and Art" that Zhang Yaozhong had placed on the table. The magazine was open.

"Eh? Is this Zhang Yaozhong you?" she asked in surprise.

Lin Chaoyang followed Tao Yushu's gaze and also found the name in the magazine.

Zhang Yaozhong showed a reserved smile on his face, "It's me. I wrote a short poem some time ago and was lucky enough to get it published."

As soon as Lin Chaoyang noticed that Zhang Yaozhong was wearing the Yanda school badge on his chest when he got on the bus, he knew that he was a "king of bullying".

The King of Pretending is not about being awesome, but about being able to embarrass others while enjoying it. It is obvious that Zhang Yaozhong has really understood the true meaning of this. Tao Yushu took the magazine handed over by Zhang Yaozhong and admired it with great interest. Lin Chaoyang also leaned over to take a look.

"...

Climb to the top and make contributions
There are thousands of books in my heart

Cultivating talents and fighting for time

Ambitions to be realized

......"

The poem is not long, and calling it a "short poem" is not self-deprecation, but it is really hard to describe. Lin Chaoyang feels that it is not as good as his exercises in junior high school, not to mention the articles he wrote in college.

Isn't this just a doggerel?

In the past, China's literary creation fell into a huge setback. After traveling back in time for a year, Lin Chaoyang was very clear about the current situation. He tried his best to read books and newspapers, but the content of his reading was basically current affairs news.

Lin Chaoyang was familiar with the "Yenching Literature and Art" that Zhang Yaozhong handed over. It was founded in 50 and the editor-in-chief at that time was Mr. Lao She. It was later suspended for a time. After several twists and turns, it was officially renamed "Yenching Literature" in 80.

At that time, it was recognized by the literary community as a leader in literary journals. The magazine published many influential medium-length and short stories, such as Zhang Jie's "Love, Cannot Be Forgotten", Wang Meng's "Kite Ribbon", Wang Zengqi's "Taking the Vows", etc.

The current "Yenching Literature and Art" has not yet changed its name, and its content still adheres to the old conventions and retains its shortcomings.

Lin Chaoyang understood, but the chilling effect was still at work, and this situation would not change radically until the Fourth National Congress of Writers and Artists was held.

“It’s really well written!”

Tao Yushu had a smile on his face and spoke sincerely, which made Zhang Yaozhong on the opposite side smile from ear to ear. The students from Yanshi University really had good taste.

While the other person was in the bathroom, Lin Chaoyang teased, "You really have the guts to praise me!"

Tao Yushu blinked at him and said, "It's obviously well written. If you don't believe me, compare it with other works."

"Hua** is waving

The Iron Army Follows the Party

For the Four Modernizations

The steed soars and shakes its mane.

"The spring breeze dyes the willow branches green
The sunny road is bare

If you ask what the road is paved with?
Haha, it’s paved with asphalt oil.”

……

Lin Chaoyang was speechless.

Tao Yushu's cuteness and cleverness are only revealed when she is with Lin Chaoyang in private. After Zhang Yaozhong comes back, she becomes the female college student who combines intelligence and beauty.

Eating, chatting, resting their eyes, reading books and newspapers, most of the day passed in a flash, and when they arrived in Shenyang, Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu changed to another bus.

Zhang Yaozhong was still on the same train with the two of them, but not in the same carriage. He said goodbye to Lin Chaoyang and his wife with regret.

After sleeping all night on the train, Tao Yushu woke Lin Chaoyang up at dawn.

After the couple finished washing up, the train was about to arrive.

At around nine in the morning, the broadcast on the train sounded.

“Passengers, the journey of the train is limited, but the mileage of the revolution is unlimited.

Let us contribute our own strength to accelerate the socialist modernization drive in different positions!
Passengers, the final stop, Yanjing Station, is approaching. Please get off the train in order after it stops at the station. "
