Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

"The declared reporter?" Mu Qiong was a little surprised: "What is he going to interview me for?"

"I just want to know who you are and what you do." Li Ronghua said, "Many people outside are curious about Lou Yuyu's identity."

Although Mu Qiong didn't hide his identity from his relatives and friends, he didn't publicize it too much, so readers of "Study Abroad" and "Seek a Doctor" don't know where he is from, and they are still guessing.

When Mu Qiong was in modern times, he often saw the declaration in books or film and television works. He always thought that the newspaper was very powerful, and he also felt that it was an honor to be interviewed by the reporter of the declaration. But after thinking about it, he finally refused: "Editor Li, please help me reject it."

"Why?" Li Ronghua was puzzled.

"I'm too young, it's not good for me if I really want to report it," Mu Qiong said.

His reasoning is actually nonsense.

He didn't want to participate in the interview, mainly because he didn't want the original owner's father to know his current situation.

Newspapers such as Dazhong Daily are only sold in Shanghai, but the declaration is different. The declaration is not only published in Shanghai's surrounding cities such as Hangzhou and Suzhou, but also in big cities such as Beijing and Tianjin.

And at this time, people with some status would read newspapers—there was no other way to learn about news from all over the country these days except to read newspapers.

The original owner's father, Mu Yongxue, is now working in the Qing Xue Department of the Beiyang government, and he is quite well-known in Beijing. A person like him will definitely read newspapers, and besides the local newspapers in Beijing, he will also apply for major newspapers such as News , he should also take a look.

If he sees something at that time... Mu Qiong doesn't want to have anything to do with him at all, he just wants to live a good life.

Li Ronghua didn't care what Mu Qiong's reason was, Mu Qiong didn't agree, he was quite happy: "Then next time he comes over, I'll help you reject him." He didn't want Mu Qiong to accept a public interview, everyone guessed that Mu Qiong With their status, their Dazhong Daily might sell better!

The two talked for a while before Mu Qiong left.

Mu Qiong was afraid that Mu Yongxue would know his identity and cause trouble for himself, but he didn't know that Mu Yongxue was watching "Study Abroad" at this time.

There were [-] copies of "Study Abroad" shipped to Beijing by the Commercial Press, but by this time, they were all sold out.

Shanghai is very prosperous, but Beijing at this time is not too bad. After all, this is the capital of the former dynasty, the seat of the central government, and famous schools such as Peking University and Tsinghua University... Of course, at this time, Tsinghua University, Also called Tsinghua School.

The book "Studying Abroad" is based on Geng's foreign students as the main characters.And in Beijing at this time, many people are trying hard to take the entrance examination for foreign students of Geng type...

After the first college students who bought books publicized it in the university, many students immediately went to the bookstore to buy books, and then, professors, middle school students, literati, government officials...everyone went to buy books.

Three thousand books were naturally sold out.

Mu Yongxue didn't care much about these things. When he learned about the book "Study Abroad", the book had already been sold out, and the book in his hand was lent to him by someone else.

And right now, he was fascinated by it.

The book "Study Abroad" is the same in terms of literature, but its plot is very attractive and the content is very passionate, so it looks naturally very attractive.

"What book are you reading?" Mu Yongxue's wife put a cup of tea beside Mu Yongxue and asked.

"It's the very popular book "Study Abroad" recently." Mu Yongxue said to his wife, "This book is very well written. The author, Lou Yuyu, must be a very ambitious person. If I can meet him, I will definitely invite him to come to us. Work in the Qing School."

"How well written is this?" Mu Yongxue's wife was puzzled.

"Yes!" Mu Yongxue said with certainty.

"Then when you finish reading, show me too." Mu Yongxue's wife said.

Mu Yongxue agreed, and said: "Show the children when the time comes, and let them follow Jiang Zhenguo as an example! In the future, I will also take the Geng Fund to study abroad!"

"Okay." Mu Yongxue's wife agreed. She was full of confidence in her children and believed that they must be the best.

The two talked for a while, Mu Yongxue was planning to continue watching "Study Abroad", his wife said: "By the way, Yongxue, a letter from Suzhou said that Zhu Wanwan's mother and son did not want to live in the ancestral hall, and went to Shanghai to visit relatives. .”

When Mu Yongxue heard Zhu Wanwan's name, he immediately frowned: "What are they doing?"

Although Mu Yongxue didn't like his original spouse and his original spouse's children, he didn't dislike them, but since he brought them to Beijing, he saw that they became less and less fond of them.

Needless to say, Zhu Wanwan, this woman doesn't even know a word, she can't understand what he said to her, let alone take it out, and his children...

Like Zhu Wanwan, the daughter doesn't know any words, what about the son?His father always said how wonderful his eldest son was, but he seemed to have no talent.

On the contrary, he has a very bad temper, and even showed his father's face!

Mu Yongxue felt ashamed when he thought that he sent Mu Changqiong to take the exam, but in the end Mu Changqiong failed the exam.

Not to mention later, these three people actually neglected his mother!When his mother was bedridden, it was fine if Zhu Wanwan didn't take good care of her, but even withheld her food!And those two children were not very good, they even helped their mother to treat grandma harshly.

"The ancestral hall is a bit old, it must be uncomfortable to live in..." Mu Yongxue's wife was full of hesitation.

Mu Yongxue snorted coldly: "What's so uncomfortable? Many people in this world don't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain! Forget it, if they want to visit their relatives, they can go there, and don't worry about them."

His wife responded and said no more.

Mu Yongxue read "Study Abroad" seriously again.

His eldest son has no skills, but his second son is smart, and he believes that he will be as outstanding as Jiang Zhenguo in the book in the future!

Mu Qiong didn't know anything about Beijing.

The next day, he went to the editorial office of Dazhong Daily to collect his manuscript fee before going to school.

Because he went to Dazhongbao, he arrived at the school late, and the students were already in class, but his two classes today are in the afternoon, so there is no need to worry.

Mu Qiong entered the office, and as soon as he sat down, Sheng Chaohui came over: "Mu Qiong, Principal Wei asked you to come over."

Wei Ting came to school today?Mu Qiong followed Sheng Chaohui to Wei Ting's office, and as soon as he got closer, he saw Wei Ting making... a bed?

In Ping'an Middle School, Wei Ting has a separate office. Of course, the office is not big, only about five or six square meters.

And now, Wei Ting made a bed in this small office.

"Mr. Wei, what is this?" Mu Qiong was a little puzzled.

"I will live here from now on." Wei Ting said, "By the way, Mu Qiong, I called you over because I want you to read some manuscripts."

As Wei Ting spoke, he took out a stack of manuscripts.

When Mu Qiong opened it, he saw that these manuscripts were all short stories with educational significance, which were very suitable for publication in their educational monthly magazine.

"I wrote these manuscripts, and they count as contributions... From now on, I will have to live off the manuscript fees." Wei Ting said.

After chatting with Wei Ting for a few words, Mu Qiong realized that Wei Ting had been kicked out of the house.

A few days ago, Mr. Qi's youngest son brought Mr. Qi's wife to Shanghai. After taking Mr. Qi away from Wei's house and renting another house to live in, Wei Ting's father began to force the marriage.

Wei Ting was naturally unwilling, but his father was determined this time.

The lady that Mu Qiong had met before was not willing to marry Wei Ting, an old man who was said to be his wife. He had already left Shanghai and returned to Hangzhou. Then his father immediately found another lady who was willing to marry, and said If Wei Ting doesn't get married again, he doesn't want to live at home.

Wei Ting moved out of the house.

In these years, Wei Ting himself has not had no income. He is unwilling to take care of the family business, but he usually writes and contributes articles, and has translated several books. His income is not low, but it is a pity that he can spend too much.

Among other things, the university that is being prepared is a bottomless pit!

Whenever he has money, he will credit it to the account of the university, and he will never use the money credited, so he will always be penniless.

Mu Qiong didn't know about this at first, but only after hearing Wei Ting and Sheng Chaohui talk about it now, he admired Wei Ting even more.

It's a pity that Boss Chen's western restaurant can give him ideas, and Sheng Chaohui's educational monthly magazine has his own ideas, but Wei Ting's university...he really doesn't know anything about it.

Not long after Wei Ting made his own bed in the office, it was time for lunch.

Sheng Chaohui wanted to invite him to dinner, but he didn't agree, and followed Mu Qiong to the school cafeteria: "I'll eat at school from now on."

Mu Qiong brought food, but it wasn't the leftovers from last night—their family ate steamed fish last night, and the steamed fish didn't taste good if left overnight, so they ate it up.

The dishes he brought were two eggs Zhu Wanwan scrambled this morning.

The green vegetables grown in the school had a good harvest, so the pickled vegetable soup at noon was replaced by green vegetable soup, because Wei Ting was coming to eat, Feng Xiaoya also steamed some salted fish, plus Teacher Zhong’s salted duck eggs and Mu Qiong’s Scrambled eggs, the meal for the three of them, is quite hearty.

Wei Ting scooped vegetable soup into his meal, took a quarter of the salted duck egg that Mr. Zhong had cut open, and added a piece of scrambled egg brought by Mu Qiong, filling his stomach quickly, and then went out went.

Wei Ting has ordered almost all the newspapers and magazines in Shanghai. These were originally delivered to Wei's family, but now he has to make a trip to change the address so that they can deliver them to Ping'an Middle School.

For this reason, Wei Ting even borrowed one dollar from Mu Qiong for the fare—although most of the newspaper offices are on Wangping Street, not all newspaper offices are on Wangping Street. Let him run everywhere, and he really ran Do not move.

After Wei Ting left, Mu Qiong went back to the office to prepare lessons, and when the time came, he went to teach the students.

Now, several classes in Ping An Middle School have selected English class representatives. Not only that, the English corner has also been arranged, and the students' enthusiasm for learning English has increased a lot.

And among all the classes, the English corner of Fu Huai'an's class is the best - Fu Huai'an didn't know where to find a lot of English books and put them there, making the small English corner look very tall.

What surprised Mu Qiong even more was that among these books, there was even a set of "Hua Ying Dictionary"!

"Hua-ying Dictionary" is the first English-Chinese dictionary in history. It was compiled by the missionary Morrison alone and published successively a hundred years ago.

Of course, the book brought by Fu Huai'an was not published a hundred years ago, but was republished later.

Before the students in the school learned English, they could only ask Mu Qiong when they encountered a word they didn’t understand, but now with this dictionary, it’s different!

These students can be said to regard this dictionary as a treasure. They are afraid of damaging the book, so they select some people to copy it, and then everyone reads the copied version whether it is reciting words or looking up words. Copy the copy, and then copy it into your own notebook.

These students work so hard, and they can't fall behind... Mu Qiong got busy after class.

Wei Ting wrote the fifty short English essays long ago, but he thought that only short English essays would not help others to learn, and the "Huaying Dictionary" or other English-Chinese dictionaries are huge, not everyone can buy them. Since then... he has other plans.

Mu Qiong also wrote down the Chinese meaning of each article. In addition, he also wrote down the Chinese meaning of each word in it.

This is quite a big project, even more troublesome than writing English short stories. Fortunately, I explained it in the article before a word, so I don’t need to continue to explain it when I use it later. In addition, he doesn’t need to write "seeking medical treatment" recently. , but I have a lot of free time to do it.

Several days passed like this.

Sheng Zhaohui could see Mu Qiong's busyness.He originally liked to play and make trouble, but seeing Mu Qiong working so hard, he was too embarrassed to only think about playing—he got busy with his work, and even started to bring vegetables to school every day and eat in school.

His behavior has greatly enriched their teacher's small dining table - Sheng Chaohui can bring meat from home every day, that's all, and on the way over in the morning, he sometimes buys something else to bring with him!

For example, today, not only did he bring white-cut chicken and deep-fried vegetarian chicken from home, he even bought twenty fried dough sticks.

They took two sticks and soaked them in soup to eat by themselves, and cut the rest into small pieces and put them in the pickle soup that the students drank, which can be regarded as adding oil and water to the students.

After dinner, Wei Ting went to get the newspapers and magazines he ordered from the lame old man at the door.

As for Mu Qiong... He continued to make notes on the short English essay he had written.

"Hua-ying Dictionary" is mainly for Westerners to help them learn Chinese characters. There is only one editor, so there are inevitably some problems. In contrast, his annotations are more prepared.

By doing this, Mu Qiong really wrote for an hour.

He stood up and was about to walk around to relax when Wei Ting suddenly entered the office: "I saw a good article!"

"What article?" Sheng Chaohui asked immediately, and the other teachers in the office were also very curious.

Wei Ting's vision is very high, he can't praise ordinary articles!

"It's a novel called "I'm in a Hundred Years Later"!" Wei Ting said: "The author who wrote this novel is really full of fantastic ideas! And the future he wrote is like a peach blossom garden, which makes people fascinated !"

"This novel is about a hundred years later? Show me!" Sheng Zhaohui said immediately.

"Let's read it together! Wait, let me read it to you!" Wei Ting said, "I want to read it again!"

When Wei Ting came in and said he saw a good article, Mu Qiong was also very curious and wanted to read it, but when he heard that the article was called "I am in a hundred years", he was stunned.

The novel he submitted anonymously was published?
