Literary Master 1978

From the inherent secular perspective of the Chinese people, the marriage between Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu was full of mismatches from the beginning, both in terms of personal conditions and family background.

And because of the special nature of the times, their union omitted all red tape.

Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu didn't care about this. They didn't even take wedding photos, but they had been married for a year and the elders of the two families had yet to meet. This was indeed unreasonable.

On the one hand, this is due to distance and transportation, and on the other hand, the more important reason is the caution of the two families.

From the perspective of Lin's father and Lin's mother, Lin Chaoyang married such a college student's daughter-in-law, and his family was from a scholarly family in Yanda. He rashly proposed to meet, and it was okay if they agreed. If he didn't agree, wouldn't he be asking for trouble? It may also arouse people's resentment and mistakenly think that they are trying to gain relatives.

From the perspective of Tao's father and Tao's mother, they didn't know much about him or the Lin family's parents before meeting Lin Chaoyang. They were able to accept Lin Chaoyang's coming to Beijing because of their daughter's repeated persistence. They also didn't want to hastily accept the marriage before they were sure whether Lin Chaoyang was a partner worthy of their daughter's lifelong trust.

Tonight, with the help of a generous gift from the Lin family's parents, Tao's father took the initiative to arrange a meeting between the two families next year, which proved that Lin Chaoyang's performance in the past few months has won his recognition and that he truly regards Lin Chaoyang as his son-in-law. treat.

In front of her family, Tao Yushu showed restraint, but when she returned to her room, she immediately fell into Lin Chaoyang's arms.

“This gift from Mom and Dad couldn’t have come at a better time!”

Of course, what Tao Yushu cares about is not the gift itself, but that her marriage to Lin Chaoyang can be recognized and blessed by her parents.

Although she usually criticizes her mother like a little steel gun, there is no child who doesn't want their parents' blessing for marriage.

Before Lin Chaoyang could speak, she added: "There are so many mountain products in that bag, so they are definitely not cheap. My mother just gave me five hundred yuan when we left. It was a waste for the two old ladies."

"Don't you also want to mail a hundred yuan to your parents? Return the favor."

"That's different. This money originally belonged to our parents. Even if our own money is used in the future, we should respect our parents.

But this mountain product was given to my family by my parents, so I have to find a way to make my parents bleed some too! "

Lin Chaoyang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Aren't you afraid of being scolded by your mother?"

"As you just said, courtesy should reciprocate!" Tao Yushu didn't care.

"Then how do you know your parents can't prepare?"

Tao Yushu thought about it seriously and said, "That's right. Even if my mother doesn't want to return the gift, my father can definitely think of it."

"You're talking bad about your mother-in-law again behind her back, be careful I'll sue you!"

"Don't distort my meaning. My mother...it's not rude, she just doesn't accept you very much. Don't have any objections to her, she just...just hasn't changed her mind."

Lin Chaoyang gently held her hand, "She gave birth to such a good daughter to be my wife. It's too late for me to thank her! Besides, my mother said she didn't want to see me, but she didn't let me have any meal. I’m hungry!”

Tao Yushu was coaxed by him and his heart was sweeter than honey. At this moment, he heard him say again: "It's just that my skills are not good enough."

She couldn't help but slap Lin Chaoyang, "Be careful if mom hears you!"

"If mom finds out, she's a snitch!"

Just as Lin Chaoyang and his wife thought, early the next morning, Tao's father started preparing gifts for his in-laws and took the reluctant Tao's mother out for shopping.

When Lin Chaoyang came back from work, everything had been packed.

"Chaoyang, you're going to mail the things early tomorrow morning. I guess you won't be able to make it in time for the New Year."

After Tao's father finished his instructions to Lin Chaoyang, his tone was a little regretful, and the things he received a year ago were even more icing on the cake.

Early that morning, Lin Chaoyang mailed the things before going to the library to work.

During the winter vacation, the library opened at eight o'clock, and he went to work much more calmly.

There are fewer people coming to borrow books. The library has been quiet recently, but occasionally there is heavy work.

For example, today, the library just received a batch of new books, not many, only 10,000 volumes.

Ten thousand volumes is really not too much to move, after all, there are dozens of people in the library.

The real difficulty is that the bookshelves are fixed. When there are more new books, some of the old books on the bookshelves must be replaced, commonly known as inverting the shelves. Among all the work contents of the library, this is second only to the hard work of the elevator strike. .

It's good to have some free space on the bookshelf, but I'm most afraid that there will be new books on them. Not only do I have to move old books and move new ones, but I also have to organize and register them, which is very troublesome.

Lin Chaoyang belongs to the new force in the library, and he does his best to do this kind of work. Of course, if he doesn't do it, the curator won't let him.

There are more than 2,000 books on one bookshelf. Today, at least four to five books will be filled.

As soon as he emptied a bookshelf, Lin Chaoyang couldn't hold on any longer and said to his partner Du Rong: "Take a break!"

Du Rong gasped, "You are a grown man, why are you not as strong as me?"

Being despised by lesbians, Lin Chaoyang had no sense of shame at all, "The competition in the inversion competition is not about physical strength, but about patience and endurance. You lesbians are strong in this area."

Du Rong joked: "No wonder you can marry Professor Tao's daughter. You are really good at talking."

Most of the day was spent flipping the shelves. In the afternoon, Lin Chaoyang slumped in his seat and didn't want to move. Du Rong still had time to go to the newspaper room to borrow magazines.

Most magazines are published every five and ten days. Today is January 20th, and another batch of publications should have arrived in the newspaper office.

Thinking of this, Lin Chaoyang suddenly remembered that "Shanghai Literature and Art" seemed to be published on the 20th of every month.

I don’t know if his novel will be published in this issue. It’s been almost four months.

Lin Chaoyang thought to himself and walked towards the newspaper office with heavy steps.

As a result, I found out that several copies of "Shanghai Literature and Art" that had just arrived today had been borrowed, and they were all borrowed by the staff of the library.

Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but complain in his heart, "I'll give you guys some free time."

When he returned home from get off work, he found that Tao Yushu had also brought home a copy of "Shanghai Literature and Art".

""Shanghai Literature and Art", are there any good works in this issue?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

Tao Yushu's eyes were on the magazine and he replied: "I just bought it, I haven't had time to read it yet."

"Let me take a look." Lin Chaoyang said and wanted to get started.

Tao Yushu evaded, "I'll read it first, and then I'll give it to you after I've finished it."

As she spoke, she stopped moving her hands and turned to the beginning of a novel.

I saw the title: "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", author: Wang Qinglai.

Vest!

See you again!

The novel "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" was exactly the same novel that Lin Chaoyang wrote for "Shanghai Literature and Art" while wearing a vest, so he received a royalties of 168 yuan.

It's a pity that I've been too lax recently, so I still have 100 yuan of this money left.

Last time he only confessed about "Wrangler" but not about "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit".

As the saying goes, there are three holes in a cunning rabbit. As a writer, who doesn’t have a few vests?

The small treasury should be saved, and he also has a grand goal in mind——

Save money to buy a bigger house.

Before, changing the bed was just a short-term goal to improve life. Now that it is completed, it needs to be changed to a bigger goal.

Unfortunately, the housing circulation rate is too low these days, and it is not that easy to buy a satisfactory house.

Although he always says to lie down, he also understands that certain conditions must be created first before he can be qualified to lie down.

This is not only for himself, but also for Tao Yushu, and even more for the harmony of the family.

With a house of his own, Yushu will be very happy then, right?

Thinking of Tao Yushu's surprise at that time, Lin Chaoyang felt a bit of anticipation in his heart.
