Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Fu Huai'an felt that his life was gloomy, and his voice trembled: "Brother...do you know he is Lou Yuyu?"

"I know." Fu Yunan said, not understanding what happened to his younger brother.

Mu Qiong guessed some of Fu Huai'an's thoughts, and he chuckled: "I have never studied abroad. I was able to write "Study Abroad" at the beginning because Dr. Fu told me many things about foreign countries. Later, I wrote "Seeking Doctors" ", Dr. Fu helped me a lot."

Fu Huai'an: "..."

"By the way, Fu Huai'an, why are you still here? Aren't you going to take someone to read early?" Wei Ting said.

"I don't take people to study early!" Fu Huai'an said.

As the representative of the English class, he wanted to take the students in the class to read early, but he planned to buy Lou Yuyu's book today, so he had already asked someone else to take the students in the class to read early on his behalf.

Now he felt very wronged... He decided not to take his classmates to study early again!

"Class is about to start, you can go back to class." Mu Qiong said, and gave him another copy of "Essays in English" and a copy of "Seeking a Doctor": "These two books are for you."

Fu Huai'an was angry at first, but now that Mu Qiong gave him two books, he was not so angry.

Of course, he didn't let up.

After grabbing the book, Fu Huai'an ran out of the office.

"My brother is ignorant and has caused you trouble." Fu Yun'an said.

"He was a bit disobedient before, but recently he has been studying hard, especially in English," Wei Ting said.

Mu Qiong also said: "He is very smart, but his temper is a bit awkward."

The three chatted about Fu Huai'an, and Wei Ting said, "Fu Yun'an, I've already chosen the address of the library, shall we go and have a look?"

Fu Yun'an agreed.

"I plan to build a library here." Wei Ting pointed to the empty space behind.

"Wei Ting, do you want to expand Ping An Middle School?" Fu Yun'an looked at Wei Ting.

Wei Ting said: "I would like to expand, but you know the land price here... When I bought this land, it cost a total of [-] yuan including the house above, but now the land has gone up. The price is ten thousand."

Fu Yun'an said: "It's like this. I plan to build the hospital here, so I bought a piece of land next to it. If Ping'an Middle School is to be expanded, I can move out a piece of land to build some classrooms for Ping'an Middle School. "

"You bought the land next to it?" Wei Ting was a little surprised: "Where is the land?"

Fu Yun'an mentioned a general area.

Wei Ting was a little surprised: "I'm afraid this land will cost a lot of money?"

"It costs [-] yuan," Fu Yun'an said, "I spent all my wife's money to run the hospital."

"Land prices have risen again?" Wei Ting was a little surprised.

"Second Master Huo has bought a lot of land recently, and the price of the land has soared." Fu Yun'an sighed.

"I've heard about this too. It seems that Second Young Master Huo wants to open a factory and an orphanage... Second Young Master Huo is a very nice person." Wei Ting said.

Mu Qiong didn't know much about these things. After all, in his circle, except for Wei Ting, who didn't do business, in fact, Wei Ting didn't do business either.

Now that Fu Yun'an and Wei Ting were talking about it, he knew that shopkeeper Wu next to Huo Ershao had been jumping up and down to buy land in Shanghai recently, and he had already bought a lot of land, directly driving up the land price in Shanghai.

Even a piece of land near Ping'an Middle School was bought by Huo Ershao, it is said that he planned to set up an orphanage.

When Mu Qiong heard this, he immediately thought of the statement he had made under the pseudonym Tianxing. At that time, he said that he would donate the manuscript fee to help the homeless... Could it be because of this that Huo Ershao wanted to Run an orphanage?

Or, is it because of reading "Wandering" written by him?

No matter what, Huo Ershao admired him for having such an idea.

After all, these are all burning money.

Fu Yun'an looked around at Ping'an Middle School and said that he wanted to find someone to redesign his hospital and Ping'an Middle School before building a house.

To this, Wei Ting naturally agreed: "At the beginning I didn't have much money, so the school was built small and couldn't recruit more students every year. It would be great if it could be expanded."

"Then it's settled." Fu Yun'an said.

After chatting for a while, it was time for Mu Qiong to teach the students. He said goodbye to Fu Yun'an and went to the classroom.

After Mu Qiong left, Wei Ting looked at Fu Yun'an: "Shall we go to the office?"

"I want to see how the teachers teach." Fu Yun'an said with a smile, "I've never been to school in China."

"Then go and have a look." Wei Ting had no doubts about him: "As for the class, Mu Qiong's class in our school is the best, so you can go and listen to his class."

"Okay." Fu Yun'an smiled again, what he wanted to see was Mu Qiong.

So, as soon as Mu Qiong entered the classroom, he saw Wei Ting taking Fu Yun'an and sitting at the end of the classroom.

Moo-joon's class is really fun because he's going to tell a lot of extra stuff.

For example, when they learn the word "worker", Mu Qiong will popularize foreign guilds for these students. For example, when they learn the word "toilet", Mu Qiong will tell them that at this time foreign countries also use toilets and urinals. Things, many people do not have toilets at home.

Of course, he will also tell them what life is like for the nobility and bourgeoisie abroad.

Fu Yunan listened very carefully.

What Mu Qiong said is true, he still remembers the situation when he went to the public toilet to use the toilet.

In addition... Mu Qiong was in high spirits when he was giving a lecture, which was very beautiful.

A few days ago, he spent many days in the laboratory and made many arrangements after he came out. He was actually very tired, but now he felt a lot more relaxed after listening to Mu Qiong's lecture.

It's just... what his second brother told him about Mu Qiong's liking for men is probably false.

He didn't see it at all.

Fu Yun'an felt that she must have a brain problem to believe Huo Er's words.

Or...he was either out of his mind, or a little lonely.

He liked Mu Qiong a little bit, but since he didn't live on this road, he couldn't drag him into trouble no matter what.

Mu Qiong had two classes this morning. After the first class, he was ready to go to the second class immediately.

When he was in the first class, Fu Yun'an came to attend the class, but when he was in the second class, Fu Yun'an was not there, and should have left.

After the morning class, the teachers of Ping An Middle School gathered in the cafeteria for dinner.

During the meal, Mu Qiong said: "Principal, you know, I have no relatives in my family. Now my sister is going to study, and my mother is the only one at home... She is boring at home alone, can you let her come to school with me? "

"Yes." Wei Ting agreed.

"Thank you principal, I will ask my mother to make delicious food for everyone." Mu Qiong said.

The teachers in the school all knew that the delicious dishes brought by Mu Qiong were made by his mother, and they immediately expressed their expectation.

With this matter settled, Mu Qiong felt relieved.

At this time, many people in the big cities in China have already bought "Seeking Doctors" and "English Essays". In Shanghai, "Seeking Doctors" is even sold out.

Most of the people who come to the bookstore to buy books come to buy "Seeking a Doctor".

Although the book "seeking a doctor" is uncomfortable to read, it is indeed a good book. Anyone with a bit of knowledge will buy a copy and take it home. Children see, broaden children's horizons.

As for "Essays in English", the sales were mediocre.

Those who do not understand English, or those who are not good at English, will not buy this book at all. Those who are proficient in English, after looking through the content in front of it, will not buy it.

Only someone like Li Zhenyao who likes Lou Yuyu very much would buy "Essays in English" at the same time as "Seeking a Doctor" without hesitation.

The middle school that Li Zhenyao attended was not the best girls' middle school in Shanghai, but it was not bad. The school was also run by the church, and many courses were taught in English.

Although Li Zhenyao doesn't like English and feels that she is not good at it, her English is considered good when she goes outside.

Li Zhenyao had read the story "seeking a doctor" several times in newspapers, but she had no interest in reading it. After buying a good book and coming to school, she opened "Essays in English".

She can understand the stories in the front of the book without reading the Chinese annotations, and she has no interest in them, but the stories in the back...

Behind this book, there are interesting stories written one after another!

Li Zhenyao read the Chinese one first, and then compared it with the English one. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she even asked her friend who is very good at English.

Not long after, it was time for class.

The first class was taught by their English teacher, British missionary Ethel, probably because of the increasingly fierce war in Europe, Ethel was always in a bad mood recently.

She even asked someone in the class who was not good at English to stand up and talk to her, and then reprimanded him when he said something bad.

Li Zhenyao was unlucky and was called up today.

In the end, it was a coincidence that the question Ethel asked her was actually a question from an article she had just read on "Essays in English"!

Li Zhenyao subconsciously answered according to the article.

Ethel glanced at her suspiciously, but didn't make things difficult for her anymore and let her sit down!

Li Zhenyao let out a long sigh of relief. After class, when she opened "Essays in English" again, she felt different about the book.

This was written by Lou Yuyu, and Lou Yuyu also said in the preface that it is recommended that people who learn English memorize it...then she should memorize it!

And at this time, Beijing.

Several [-]-year-old and [-]-year-old students walked into the bookstore while talking: "I don't know if there are original books in this store."

"We really want to buy the original text to read? Do you understand?"

"I'm sure I can't read it now...but I should be able to read it later?"

"The teacher asked us to buy it, so we can just buy one copy."

……

They walked into the bookstore as they talked, but as soon as they reached the door of the bookstore, someone rushed past them and rushed into the store, and hurriedly asked, "Boss, is "Seeking Doctor" still available?"

"Yes!" said the boss.

"I want four copies." The man said.

"Sorry," said the boss, "we only have two copies of this book left."

"Then buy two." The man sighed, took out the money, bought the books and left.

This person came and left quickly. When a few teenagers met, they asked the boss curiously: "Boss, what books did he come to buy?"

"He came to buy Mr. Lou Yuyu's "Seeking a Doctor." The boss said.

"Is this book famous?" Someone asked.

"Of course it's famous. The book was sold out as soon as it went on sale today," said the boss.

"It's a pity, I still want to read it." A boy said, and asked again: "Boss, do you have any English books?"

"You want to buy English books? What a coincidence! Lou Yuyu's new book includes "Seeking a Doctor" and an English essay!"

Several teenagers flipped through the book and found that there were notes inside, and immediately bought a copy.

This is exactly what they want!

"Seeking a Doctor" was almost in short supply, and "Essays in English" also sold a lot.

It's just that Mu Qiong is not clear about the sales volume.

After class in the afternoon, he took Mu Changyu home, and then told Zhu Wanwan about Wei Ting's agreement with Zhu Wanwan to go to Ping'an Middle School.

Zhu Wanwan was overjoyed, she was very energetic when she was studying that night.

Mu Qiong didn't write "I'm in a Hundred Years Later" that night, but went out again and sent a letter.

This letter was sent to Hope Monthly, and it contained another manuscript of "I'm in a Hundred Years Later".

The manuscript he sent last time has not yet been published, but now that it has been written, it doesn't hurt to send it out earlier.

When Mu Qiong sent the letter, Mu Yongxue had dinner at Mu's house in Beijing and was sitting at the table, preparing to read "Seeking a Doctor" and "Essays in English" that he had asked people to buy during the day.

He had read some of "Seeking a Doctor". Although he wanted to know the content behind it, he was not in a hurry to read it. Instead, it was the "Essay in English"... Mu Yongxue opened it.

After reading it for a while, he exclaimed, "Good book!"

"What good book?" Mu Yongxue's wife asked.

Mu Yongxue's wife is named Lu Qitong. She and Mu Yongxue met when they were studying in Japan.

At that time, Lu Qitong's father went to Japan to study and brought all the family with him. She was also lucky to go to Japan, where she studied and met Mu Yongxue.

It was Mu Yongxue who pursued her first, but now, she and Mu Yongxue have been together more than ten years ago, and they have given birth to two sons and a daughter for Mu Yongxue.

It is difficult for a woman to find a job, plus she has children to take care of... Lu Qitong has been staying at home all these years to take care of her husband and children.

"I've read this "English Essays". It's very suitable for people like me to learn English! Of course, you need a teacher to teach pronunciation... You can buy two copies tomorrow, and let Changming and Changyue memorize more. Back." Mu Yongxue said.

"Isn't there already one here? Buy two more?" Lu Qitong was puzzled.

"I want to carry this book by myself!" Mu Yongxue said, "I also want to write an article calling on everyone to read this book."

"Is this book really so good?" Lu Qitong was puzzled.

"Yes, this Lou Yuyu is a very talented person." Mu Yongxue said, "I really want to meet him and make friends with him."

"There must be a chance." Lu Qitong said.

the next day.

When Mu Qiong got up and went downstairs the next day, Mu Changyu was cooking rice.

"Where's mother?" Mu Qiong asked puzzled.

"Mother is going to buy deep-fried dough sticks." Mu Changyu said, and then he came out from behind the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, and used a long-handled spoon to stir up the fried rice in the pot, stirring up the lumpy fried rice: "Brother, the porridge is ready, you can eat it when mother comes back."

The rice should not be cooked for too long, just boil the water for a while, if the rice is cooked too long, it will be unpalatable.

While the two were talking, Zhu Wanwan came.

She was carrying a bucket in one hand and a basket in the other. In the basket were three fried dough sticks and a few steamed buns.

"Mom, what did you buy?" Mu Qiong glanced into the bucket and saw a fish in the bucket.

"I bought a fish, and I'm going to feed it to the teachers in your school." Zhu Wanwan said excitedly.

It can be seen that she is looking forward to going to Ping An Middle School.

Fried dough sticks dipped in soy sauce and porridge tastes good, not to mention steamed buns... After the three of them had dinner, Zhu Wanwan put on new clothes, picked up the wooden bucket with fish, and followed Mu Qiong out.

"Mother, let me carry it." Mu Qiong insisted on snatching the barrel, and after walking for a while, he felt his hands were sore.

The fish in the barrel is actually not heavy, but the barrel and the water in the barrel are very heavy.

Although Mu Qiong's body has recovered well, he can't be called strong. It's okay to let him walk for a short distance with a wooden barrel, but it's a bit embarrassing for him to walk for more than half an hour...

"Qiong'er, let me carry it." Seeing this, Zhu Wanwan hurriedly said.

"No, I'll do it." Mu Qiong didn't let go, how could he let Zhu Wanwan carry such a heavy wooden barrel?

He could only look around to see if there was a rickshaw.

However, his luck was not very good today, he didn't even have a rickshaw, so he could only switch to his right hand when his left hand was tired, and his left hand when his right hand was tired...

When he finally walked to Chongxin School, Mu Qiong felt that his arms were no longer his own.

His health seems a little too bad.

In modern times, physical weakness doesn't matter, as long as you don't get seriously ill, you can still live a long life.

But in this day and age, people who are not in good health can't even escape in front of others.

Mu Qiong thought, he must practice hard.
