Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

After being away for a month, a lot of things happened in the country, and Zhang Xuan felt like he was out of touch.

After ending the call with Yuan Lan, he thought about it and called Tao Ge.

This time I answered the call after one ring.

"Returned to China?" Tao Ge asked.

"Yes, I'm back." Zhang Xuan replied.

"When did you come back?"

"Today's flight just arrived home."

Tao Ge caught him and asked, "Have you finished writing your science fiction novel?"

Zhang Xuan told her: "I have only written a little over 150,000 words, and there is about a month left."

Tao Ge said hurriedly: "Okay, sister will come over in a month."

Zhang Xuan said yes, and then he asked: "How is the book selling?"

Tao Ge said happily: "It's very good. It's selling well. "Feng Sheng" has printed another 500,000 copies.

The third additional printing of 1 million copies of "Latent" has sold 640,000 copies as of yesterday.

Xinhua Bookstores across the country are running out of inventory. We are tracking sales data at all times and are ready for the fourth printing. "

"real?"

"Of course, when has my sister ever lied to you?"

It was the tense stage when he was short of money. When he suddenly heard the news, Zhang Xuan felt as relieved as drinking honey.

Then he asked with concern: "How is the evaluation process for the Mao Dun Literature Award going?"

Tao Ge whispered: “The jury will hold its first vote after the National Day.

The situation of "lurking" in the jury is still the same. I like it very much and always support it.

Those who didn't like it didn't make any concessions, and the two sides continued to maintain disputes.

But don’t worry, People’s Literature is working hard on public relations and will not miss any opportunity. "

"Thanks!"

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and asked, "What does the jury think of Ba Yin?"

Tao Ge said: "Mr. Ba turned a blind eye to this and remained silent. Until now, I still can't see his inner thoughts."

"Is there any news?"

"Someone specifically asked Balao about his attitude, but Balao did not express any position. He just reiterated his consistent position: it is better to be deficient than to abuse, not to take care of, and not to make do with others."

Zhang Xuan frowned when he heard this. In such a moment of huge controversy, the attitude of the boss who sits at the top of the jury is indeed a bit thought-provoking.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xuan gave up on tracing the source. He was afraid that he would get nervous.

Some things cannot withstand scrutiny, and some things are frightening to consider.

After ending the call, Zhang Xuan stayed on the sofa for a while, and then returned to the study.

I spread out the paper, picked up the pen and wrote eight words seriously: I am lucky to gain, and my life is lost.

After writing, Zhang Xuan put the pen aside and stared at the eight words for a while.

To be honest, as a human being, he takes many things very lightly. However, the Mao Dun Literature Award has too much to do with it and his expectations are too high, which has caused some turmoil in his heart.

After Zhang Xuan noticed this just now, he immediately reflected.

It is natural and understandable to live for fame and fortune in this world.

But I am different from others. When I cannot force something, I should take it lightly. The most important thing is to live comfortably.

After sitting quietly on the chair for a while, Zhang Xuan took out the manuscript of "The Wind-Up Girl" from his suitcase. After examining it carefully, he began to complete today's task.

The minimum limit is 5,000 words, and you will try to write 7,000 words.

Once a person is immersed in his own world, time always passes quickly and quietly.

There is always some forgetfulness.

No, at a certain moment, the study door opened. Du Shuangling walked in happily and stood beside him for a long time. Zhang Xuan didn't know or noticed.

If we had seen him writing seriously in the past, Du Shuangling would have opened the door and carefully closed it once he had opened the door.

But today was different. Du Shuangling missed him a little after not seeing him for a month.

She didn't bother him, and stood quietly behind her, looking at his profile and every bit of him...

After writing a large section, Zhang Xuan was about to refill the pen with ink when he suddenly caught sight of a figure out of the corner of his eye. He was stunned for a moment, put down the pen the next second and turned around immediately.

"When did you come back from shopping?"

"It's been a while."

"Have you bought any clothes?"

"I bought it. I bought one set for myself and two sets for you."

After a simple greeting, the two immediately looked at each other.

You look at me, I look at you. In the end, Du Shuangling couldn't hold it back. She took a step closer and hugged him tightly. She raised her head slightly and said emotionally:

"You're finally back, I miss you so much."

Zhang Xuan looked at her without saying a word, but stretched out his hand to caress his face gently for a while, and finally took her in his arms, still remaining silent.

Du Shuangling asked: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "No, just seeing you makes everything feel good."

"Yeah." After hearing this, Du Shuangling's arms wrapped around his waist a little tighter.

Zhang Xuan asked: "Are you all living in the dormitory this month?"

"Yes, I listen to you. I have been staying in the dormitory overnight. I only come here occasionally during the day to see if there is anything missing at home."

"Thanks a lot."

"It's not hard, this is our home."

Zhang Xuan paused, held her face in his hands, and after caressing her for a long time, he whispered, "I bought you a gift."

Du Shuangling asked expectantly: "What gift?"

Zhang Xuan raised his chin and tilted it slightly, "The gift is in the bag. You have to look through it yourself to feel accomplished."

Du Shuangling stared at him with a smile, but she couldn't help it and turned around.

The first thing I pulled out was the clothes. I compared the colors and styles, and my face was filled with smiles, and my joy was beyond words.

Next came the skin care products. Du Shuangling looked at them from left to right, and finally opened one bottle and smelled it. A small crescent moon appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The last thing I dug out was a red jewelry box.

Du Shuangling couldn't help but asked, "Is it for me?"

Zhang Xuan nodded: "Yes."

"What's inside?"

"open to take a look."

Du Shuangling tried to open it, but gave up halfway and handed the box to him, making a tinkling sound:

"Open it and put it on for me."

Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that you won't like it?"

Du Shuangling looked at him with a smile: "I like clothes very much, and I also like skin care products."

Zhang Xuan understood what she meant and said no more. He slowly opened the box and took out the bracelet. Then he took her right hand and put the bracelet on.

Zhang Xuan asked: "Does it look good?"

Du Shuangling's eyes straightened, her eyebrows arched, and she was smiling: "Yeah, it looks good, but it's too expensive."

Zhang Xuan looked into her eyes: "It's not expensive for you."

"Yeah." Du Shuangling continued to hum, rolled her wrist and stopped talking, very happy.

Next, the two parents had a short chat.

Zhang Xuan talked about a lot of what he saw and heard abroad.

Du Shuangling told her all the trivial things that happened in the school in detail.

Including her class, how the new teacher taught, what she did after class, the three of them watched two movies at the Foreign Language School, etc...

Zhang Xuan listened very carefully, and he didn't know why. As time passed, his heart became more at ease.

Time flew by and 50 minutes passed like this.

If Zou Qingzhu hadn't shouted outside in the middle, breaking the harmony, the two people who were still unfinished could still continue.

Du Shuangling stood up and said, "There must be something I can't find. I'll go outside and have a look."

Zhang Xuan stood up and said, "Okay."

As he said that, he pulled the woman over and kissed her gently under her gaze.

Du Shuangling raised her head slightly, waited until the warmth on her lips left, opened her eyes, blinked, and left with satisfaction.

The door is closed.

Zhang Xuan was silent at the edge of the door, then picked up the pen and wrote down his messy thoughts on the paper: greed.

When people succeed, they become more courageous and can easily lose themselves.

What he never dared to do in his previous life, he did it after only one year in this life.

Looking at the "greed" on the white paper, Zhang Xuan didn't regret it.

Because there is no word "regret" in his life creed.

After a while of silence, Zhang Xuan finally posted the two pieces of white paper with words on the wall.

On the left: I am lucky to get it, but I am destined to lose it.

Right: Greed.

Sitting on the chair, Zhang Xuan stared at the two pieces of white paper for a moment, then picked up the pen and started writing "Clockwork Girl".

…

Dinner was cooked by Zou Qingzhu, a Sichuan dish that was heavy, oily, numb and spicy.

Especially the Maoxuewang and Kung Pao Chicken, Zhang Xuan burst into tears after eating them, but he couldn't put them down, stuffing chopsticks into his mouth one after another.

A little hungry, Zhang Xuan ate two bowls in one go, then slowed down and joked to Zou Qingzhu:

"Your cooking skills are getting better and better. How about if I provide the capital and you provide the technology, we can open a high-end restaurant together?"

Zou Qingzhu flatly refused: "Not very good! I studied hard for decades and ended up working as a cook like my parents. Didn't I study in vain?"

Zhang Xuan joked: "Don't look down on the cook, he earns a lot."

Zou Qingzhu shook his head: "My parents are cooks. How could I look down on cooks? I just want to change my way of life."

Zhang Xuan asked: "How to live a life of pampering and living in vain?"

Zou Qingzhu smiled: "It's good to be pampered, but forget about being fat."

Du Shuangling would bring him food from time to time and tell him to eat more, but Zhang Xuan always said yes happily.

During this meal, he ate three large bowls and drank a bowl of soup. His stomach was full.

While chatting on the sofa, the instructor said to Zhang Xuan: "You are back. Go to the director's office on Monday. The director has something to ask you."

Zhang Xuan was curious: "What do you want from me?"

The instructor shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I guess it may have something to do with the 70th anniversary of the school."

Du Shuangling poured a cup of herbal tea for several people one after another and asked: "Instructor, when is the school's anniversary?"

The instructor took the herbal tea and took a sip and said: "The school anniversary is November 12th. Our school is one of the two schools founded by Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 1924, one for culture and one for martial arts.

The Chinese refers to our Chinese University.

As for Wu, you should all know that it was the once famous Whampoa Military Academy. "

Recalling that he was tricked by the director and Xiao Shiyi into singing the song "Infatuated Heart for Love", Zhang Xuan asked fearfully: "You don't want me to appear on the show, right?"
