Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

On this day, Mu Qiong was working on a manuscript in the editorial department of Education Monthly when he was told that Fu Huai'an was here.

When Fu Huai'an came, he was holding a thick stack of books in his hand, almost covering his face: "Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu!"

"What are you?" Mu Qiong asked puzzled.

"Teacher Mu, I'm here to give you books!" Fu Huai'an said, "The book I wrote and the book I translated have been published, send some copies to Teacher Mu!"

As Fu Huai'an said, he put the stack of books on Mu Qiong's desk.

How many are these?This is clearly more than a dozen volumes... Mu Qiong looked at it and found that there were six volumes of "Andersen's Fairy Tales" and six volumes of "The Adventures of Little Thumb".

Firstly, he has read both of these books, and secondly, he has read a lot of similar themes. For example, when he was young in his previous life, he read "Niels Riding a Goose Travel Notes", which is about Niels after he became small. ,The story of riding a goose and experiencing various fantasy adventures, so there is definitely no such thing as how much you like it.

But Mu Qiong was still very grateful: "Thank you." It's not bad that Fu Huai'an can remember him.

After learning that Fu Huai'an might be proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, Mu Qiong was a little worried for a while, and even observed Fu Huai'an specially.

Then I discovered that Fu Huai'an was obsessed with novels. He was either looking for books to read or writing novels by himself every day. In addition, he had to study hard to avoid being surpassed by his classmates, and he had to teach children in orphanages. idle.

Fu Huai'an like this, let alone go to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, he might not even have time to find a little girlfriend.

Mu Qiong was relieved, and his attitude towards him was the same as before. Now he asked: "Are you writing a new book? What have you written?"

"I am writing about a child who grows bigger and bigger. At the age of three or four, he is as tall as his father. Afterwards, he grows to three meters, four meters, five meters and six meters. Finally, he is as tall as a house, and he can eat a chicken with one bite." Fu Huai'an said happily Expressing his own thoughts vigorously: "In the end, he grew like a mountain, even if it was a cow, he could eat it in one bite. Although his father was rich, he couldn't afford to support him, so he went outside to beg for a living, but met When someone fights a war, if he flicks his hand, everyone will fall down. The knife cannot cut off his hair, and the bullets cannot pierce his skin, and the battleship will be crushed by him..."

"It's a good idea, have you figured out how to end it?" Mu Qiong asked.

Fu Huai'an was stunned. He thought of something interesting and started writing. He never thought about how to end it!

"A story must have a beginning, a climax, and an end..." Mu Qiong explained the structure of the article to Fu Huai'an, and then said: "Of course, if you want to understand, you'd better read more articles."

"En." Fu Huai'an nodded seriously.

Mu Qiong said again: "In fact, some books abroad are quite good now. It would be even better if we can read them together with their history." The masterpieces I have read.

At this moment, he directly took out a piece of paper, wrote down the names of those famous books one by one, and handed them to Fu Huai'an: "These books are available in the library of Aurora University."

Fu Huai'an looked down and saw a long list of English words.

His English has been learned well, but it is still a little difficult to read the long original text... Forget it, let's read it first, read it, maybe you can understand it.

Fu Huai'an took the book list and left Mu Qiong's place. After going downstairs, he immediately sent him to Ping'an Middle School by the coachman pulling a cart full of books.

Today is Sunday, he didn't have to go to school, so he bought two hundred of his own books and planned to give them away one by one.

The newly built library of Ping'an Middle School has been put into use, and Fu Huai'an directly donated [-] books each. Then, he went to the orphanage and donated [-] or [-] books.

For example, he had already sent Mu Qiong, but he also sent books to Zhu Wanwan and Zhu Yu, and even Wei Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, let me tell you, this book is very beautiful. After you go back, you must Let your father give you a good explanation!"

"Okay." Wei Yuanyuan nodded seriously.

Fu Huai'an patted her head in relief.

"Brother Huai'an, how old are you?" Wei Yuanyuan asked suddenly.

"I, I'm not young anymore, I'll be sixteen after the new year!" Fu Huai'an straightened his chest.

He is not yet sixteen years old, but can he be considered a false age?

"Brother Huai'an, so you are so old!" Wei Yuanyuan said.

"I'm not getting old!" Fu Huai'an looked at Wei Yuanyuan in disbelief—this little girl actually said she was old!

"You are so much older than me!" Wei Yuanyuan said: "I am only seven years old now, and you will be sixteen, and sixteen is older than two sevens... When I am 20, you will be in your forties. "

Fu Huai'an: "..."

"Brother Huaian, I originally wanted to grow up and marry you, but you are too old." Wei Yuanyuan sighed.

"Wait!" Fu Huai'an said without thinking, "Your calculation is wrong! You are 20 years old, 13 years later, and I will be 28 years old at that time!"

Fu Huaian taught Wei Yuanyuan mathematics.

Soon after.

"So it's calculated like this! Brother Huai'an, you are really amazing." Wei Yuanyuan said.

"That's right!" Fu Huai'an said, "But don't even think about marrying me, I don't like children." He likes big sisters who are educated and powerful.

"I won't marry you, I want to marry Brother Mu." Wei Yuanyuan said, "I will be married in ten years, and Brother Mu will be 28 years old by then."

"..." Fu Huai'an looked at Wei Yuanyuan sympathetically: "Yuanyuan, don't even think about it, your brother Mu is probably going to be my brother-in-law."

Fu Huai'an stayed at the orphanage every day and came home very late every day. He had no contact with Huo Anni. He had never met Huo Anni before, so the two of them could be said to be unfamiliar.

But he heard the rumor that Huo Anni and Mu Qiong were together all day, and he thought it was very reliable.

His brothers like Teacher Mu very much, and they might want to marry his sister to Teacher Mu.

Little friend Wei Yuanyuan said: "Forget it, otherwise, I'll marry Street Lamp, and the children in the orphanage will listen to him!"

A passing street lamp: "..." Should he be moved?

Fu Yun'an, who had been here for a while, smiled "hehe" in his heart: Brother-in-law?Fu Huaian thinks so?

He didn't tell Fu Huai'an about his relationship with Mu Qiong before because he thought it was unnecessary, but now, it is still necessary to let Fu Huai'an know.

Anyway, he won't speak out.

"Third brother, are you here?" Fu Huai'an was very happy to see Fu Yun'an.

"Well, I'm here to deliver something." Fu Yun'an said, the patients in their hospital are all rich people. After they are hospitalized, they will buy new toiletries, leaflets and bedding, and they will throw them away when they leave the hospital.

He had people burn things used by patients with infectious diseases, but some patients had no serious problems. He had people clean and disinfect the things they used and sent them to orphanages.

"By the way, third brother, my book has been published! I'll give you a few copies!" Fu Huai'an said excitedly. When he came home recently, his third brother was already asleep every time. speechless.

"No, I have already contacted the publishing house and bought [-] copies each." Fu Yun'an said.

"Twenty thousand copies?" Fu Huai'an was shocked, but at the same time was extremely moved.

His brother is so kind, he actually bought so many books...

"The [-] books, I have people transported to other cities to sell, so that more people will know your name and help you increase your reputation." Fu Yun'an said again.

"Third brother, thank you!" Fu Huai'an was even more moved.

"We are brothers, no need to thank you, it's just..." Fu Yun'an showed hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Fu Huai'an asked.

"The shipping cost of these books is not cheap, and buying books is not cheap... You know, all my money is invested in the hospital." Fu Yun'an looked at Fu Huai'an.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely make up the money for you!" Fu Huai'an patted his chest and said, deciding to send a telegram right away, asking his father for money for his third brother.

His third brother treats him so well, he can't let his third brother lose money!

Fu Huai'an, who had no idea that his third brother was actually in charge of the business with his second brother, was only thinking about compensating Fu Yun'an.

Fu Yun'an smiled, went to find Mu Qiong again, and then gave Mu Qiong a large sum of money: "After Tianxing's book was published, I sold a lot of it. This is the manuscript fee for you."

"Why are there so many?" Mu Qiong was surprised.Fu Yun'an actually gave him a banknote of [-] yuan!He usually takes manuscript fees from commercial presses, usually a few hundred to one thousand.

"I printed a lot, and people sold them to other places for a good price." Fu Yun'an told what Song Yanqiu had done.

"Thank you." Mu Qiong said, he knew that Fu Yun'an did not do this to make money, nor did he really earn so much...

But now he is short of money to run the school... Mu Qiong plans to put the money on the school's account.

"What did you say thank you to me?" Fu Yun'an kissed Mu Qiong.

There are few books these days, and there are very few new books in bookstores. Because of this, new books will always attract people's attention when they come out.

What's more, "Andersen's Fairy Tales" was published in the Educational Monthly.

On the second day after Fu Huai'an delivered the books, the sales of these two books increased, and many people bought them.

Especially "Andersen's Fairy Tales" is very popular.

Although this is a fairy tale, there are many stories in it that even adults can read.

As for "The Adventures of Little Thumb", it is novel and everyone loves to read it, but after all, Fu Huai'an is still young and has never written a book before. I have watched them all, but if I really want to say that I can't put it down, I don't.

Of course, Moo-joon thinks this is already good.

Fu Huai'an is still young, and he will definitely write better and better in the future, and he will have a lot to do in the future.

Two days later, these two books, like "Silk Township" and "Encyclopedia", were sold elsewhere.

Changsha, Hunan.

After Song Yanqiu sold books here last time, the literati here were all full of praise for Lou Yuyu and Tianxing.

They didn't know who Lou Yuyu and Tianxing were, but someone had shipped their books from thousands of miles, and they must be very famous. In this case, they must praise these two people and not criticize them.

When everyone is boasting, if someone criticizes you, you will not fit in, and you will be regarded as jealous of others...

What's more, the books of these two people are really good... Many people who can't buy books or can't afford them are trying their best to borrow books from others to read and copy.

At this time, Song Yanqiu came again and brought some new books.

Moreover, in this book, there are also cheap ones!

The two volumes of "Encyclopedia" only cost [-] cents, while "Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "The Adventures of Little Thumb" cost [-] cents a book. That is to say, "Silk Township" is a bit more expensive, and a book still costs [-] cents. .

For a while, there was another wave of panic buying.

At this time, Fu Huai'an, who had sent a telegram to his father asking for money, received some rewards from his father.

My son actually wrote a book and published it!

Marshal Huo and You Rongyan gave Fu Huai'an a lot of things, but they didn't give much money.

The money he spends now is all given by Huo Ying...

Thus, Fu Huai'an received one thousand silver dollars, plus some jewelry and antiques.

One thousand silver dollars is definitely not enough for the third brother to buy his books and send them to sell elsewhere... Why is father so stingy!

Fu Huai'an, who came home with a lot of things that night, after much deliberation, felt that he could only pass on the many rewards his father gave him to his third brother.

After returning home from classes in the orphanage, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, Fu Huai'an asked, "Where's my third brother?"

The servant at home replied as usual: "Third Young Master has gone back to sleep."

"Is that so..." Fu Huai'an hesitated.

But at this time, the servant said again: "If Fourth Young Master wants to find Third Young Master, you can go to the door and ask. Although Third Young Master has entered the room, he should not be asleep yet."

Before, the three young masters told them that they were not allowed to let Fu Huai'an go to his side, but a few days ago they told them again, saying that if Fu Huai'an wanted to look for him at night, he would let him do so.

They didn't know what San Shao wanted to do, but they must be obedient.

Fu Huai'an didn't know what the servant was thinking, when he heard the servant say this, he nodded: "I'll go and have a look."

Fu Huai'an and Fu Yun'an's rooms were a little far away, and even the stairs upstairs were not together. When he came to Fu Yun'an's door, he knocked on the door immediately: "Third brother, are you asleep?"

He must have not slept, right?The lights are still on!Just as Fu Huai'an was thinking this way, he heard Fu Yun'an say: "I haven't slept yet."

"Brother, I'll bring you something." Fu Huai'an said again.

"Wait a minute, I'll open the door." Fu Yun'an said, and not long after he finished speaking, the door in front of Fu Huai'an was opened.

Fu Yun'an had already taken off his outer robe, and appeared at the door wearing a thick cotton coat: "What are you here for?"

"Third brother, my father gave me some rewards, and I'll give them to you." Fu Huai'an was a little embarrassed: "I don't know if I can get the money you paid for my book..."

"It's good if you have this kind of heart." Fu Yun'an said: "You don't need to give me money."

"How can I do that!" Fu Huai'an insisted on giving it.

Fu Yun'an finally "had to" accept it.

After all, Fu Huai'an is his younger brother, and he must be willing to help this younger brother, that's why he sent someone to sell Mu Qiong's book along with his book.

But occasionally, this younger brother makes him feel a little uncomfortable. If so, this thing must be collected.

The two had been chatting at the door, Fu Huai'an didn't look at the situation in the room at all at first, but later when he was about to send something in, he suddenly noticed... There was a person lying on his third brother's bed!

That person looks familiar to him!Who else is it not Mu Qiong?

Fu Huai'an looked at Mu Qiong who was leaning on the bed reading a book, and was dumbfounded.

After Fu Huai'an arrived, Mu Qiong didn't hide or make a sound.

If Fu Yun'an didn't want Fu Huai'an to know about the relationship between the two of them, he would definitely get Fu Huai'an away. If Fu Yun'an wanted Fu Huai'an to know about their situation, then it was now.

Mu Qiong sat up straight and smiled at Fu Huai'an: "I won't get up to greet you."

"You... Teacher Mu..." Fu Huai'an looked at Mu Qiong stupidly.

"You can leave if you leave your things." Fu Yun'an said, sending him away directly.

Until the door of Fu Yun'an's room closed in front of him, Fu Huai'an still couldn't react.

Teacher Mu is actually on his brother's bed. Are they going to sleep and talk all night long?

Why does he feel weird?

Fu Huai'an went downstairs in a daze, only to meet Huo Anni who was eating downstairs.

Huo Anni has been going to the construction site every day recently, and she is tanned. Now when she is eating supper, she still has one foot on the stool next to her, she doesn't look like a lady at all.

But when she saw Fu Huai'an, she immediately put her feet down and straightened her sitting posture.

"Sister." Fu Huai'an took the initiative to say hello.

"What's wrong?" Huo Anni asked.

"It's something... Sister, I saw Teacher Mu in the third brother's room..." Fu Huai'an stopped talking halfway through, he suddenly thought that maybe this matter should not be talked about nonsense.

"You look like this, do you see something that you shouldn't see?" Huo Anni looked at Fu Huai'an curiously, and said again: "If you see it, you will see it, don't tell me you know?"

"What should not be seen?" Fu Huai'an couldn't help asking: "Brother San and Teacher Mu..."

"They are together." Huo Anni said.

Fu Huai'an had thought of this a long time ago, and now that Huo Anni affirmed him, he was struck by lightning for a moment.

His third brother is actually with Mr. Mu!

Did his third brother persecute Mr. Mu?

How could his third brother do this!

Fu Huai'an was very conflicted.On the one hand is his brother who is good to him, and on the other is the teacher who taught him carefully. He doesn't know who to help.

Fu Huai'an struggled all night, didn't fall asleep all night, and at the same time figured it out - he can't let his third brother do wrong, he has to help Teacher Mu!

However, the consequence of his not sleeping at night was that he slept very soundly in the morning, and when he was finally woken up, it was almost too late for school.

Forget it, he also learned that his brother followed Mu Qiong to Suzhou.

Teacher Mu went to Suzhou, why did his brother follow him?Fu Huai'an was very puzzled, so he just asked.

Huo Anni, who had breakfast with him, said: "What do you care about the couple's affairs?"

"A couple?" Fu Huai'an was stunned again.His understanding of the relationship between the two men is that of the rich young master and the actor. Now... a couple?

"What's wrong?" Huo Anni asked back.

"Third Brother and Teacher Mu are a couple?" Fu Huai'an continued to ask.

"Yeah, everyone knows that the eldest brother gave them a house." Huo Anni looked at Fu Huai'an with some complacency: "It's just you, who haven't been able to see it."

Fu Huai'an didn't know whether he should be thankful that Mu Qiong was not forced by his third brother, or should pity himself.

Why no one told him before!

When Fu Huai'an was depressed, Mu Qiong, Fu Yun'an, Zhu Wanwan and Zhu Yu, as well as two bodyguards protecting Fu Yun'an, had already boarded the boat - they went to Suzhou by boat.

After boarding the boat, Zhu Yu started talking about school affairs with his elder brother who didn't chat much these days.

Zhu Yu is in school now, which is the envy of everyone.

Ever since Mu Yongxue came to Shanghai, everyone knew Mu Qiong's identity and her identity.

With a brother like Lou Yuyu... She naturally had a very good life in school, and everyone envied her.

And this kind of living environment undoubtedly made her more and more cheerful and lively. She even skipped a grade again, and she can go to middle school in the second half of the year.

Mu Qiong liked her appearance very much, and asked her carefully about her studies and her friends.

"Brother, I have many friends now, and they all like you and admire you very much." Zhu Yu smiled, and her friend actually asked her if her brother liked anyone... Of course, she still didn't say this.

After Mu Qiong chatted with Zhu Yu, he began to tell Fu Yun'an about things in Suzhou.

When the original owner was in Beijing, he didn't make any friends and suffered a lot of grievances, but when he was in Suzhou, he had many friends.

It's a pity that communication is inconvenient these years, and some people obstructed it, so the contact was cut off - when the original owner went to Beijing, he left his friend the address of Mu Yongxue's house in Beijing, but unfortunately he didn't receive a single letter... ...Mu Qiong thought, probably Lu Qitong did something wrong.

And when the original owner came back, most of his friends had already graduated from middle school, went their separate ways, and never met again.

As for those relatives... there were people who spoke for them back then, but unfortunately the Mu family was determined to drive them away, so others couldn't help much.

In addition, at that time, everyone thought that it was no problem for Zhu Wanwan to go to Zhu Boyuan, so naturally they didn't have to help Zhu Wanwan—Zhu Boyuan's property was given by Zhu Wanwan's parents!

However, things are unpredictable...

The speed of the boat was quite slow. They set off early in the morning and hadn't arrived in Suzhou by noon.

Zhu Wanwan took out some food for everyone to eat together.

At this time, the boats depart at a fixed time. The ones that many people take are also chartered separately. The boats they take are the boats chartered by them alone. After the boatman takes them to Suzhou, he will wait for them in Suzhou. Send them back to Shanghai in a few days.

And such a trip will take five or six days in total, and it only costs four silver dollars, and there is no need to pay for the boatman's board and lodging.

When Zhu Wanwan and the others were eating, the boatman also took out a bowl of rice to eat, and the side dish was a piece of pickled vegetable lump the size of a thumb.

Seeing this, Zhu Wanwan immediately asked the boatman to eat with them—they brought a lot of food, and they couldn't finish it.

The boatman smiled gratefully, and started to eat. At this time, someone in Suzhou was worrying.

Suzhou is very close to Shanghai, and Mu Qiong is Lou Yuyu's affair, and the members of Mu's family already know about it.
