Along a lively main street, passing through the bustling downtown, slowly like a duckling returning home, a black Ford sedan finally drove into a residential alley, and then quickly entered the courtyard of a chic small mansion , parked the car and went in.

The old concierge was still not there, so Xiao Liu seemed to be playing the role of the concierge, opening the door and helping to park the car, and when Gu Jia and others got out of the car, he said to Gu Jia, "Third young master, why did you come back so late? Fourth Master looked for you everywhere and called you everywhere!"

Osmanthus fragrans, who was washing clothes inside, also came out of the back yard shaking the water drops on her hands, followed behind the grim-looking fourth master, and asked, "Third young master! Have you had lunch yet?!" only this.

Gu Jia walked over and crossed his arms. The unhappy younger brother just hugged him. He stepped over and put his arms around his shoulders, then patted Gu Wuji's shoulder and said, "I'm going out to report to you. Yes, don't let your face fall."

After all, the elder brother reached out his hand to pinch his younger brother's cheek affectionately, forcing him into a smile, and then turned around and said: "There are two guests here, Wuji, you greet first, I have to go out, very soon Come back soon."

"Where are you going?" Gu Wuji seemed to have just woken up, his hair had not had time to apply pomade, so it was fluffy like a natural curl, but it was not messy, but very stylish.

Gu Jia whispered: "I got two signatures, and I have to send them to the first year of high school. If you let me go tomorrow, I will naturally finish the work today. Be obedient, and I will be back in a while." Gu Jia blinked at Gu Wuji.

"Yo, I whispered to my younger brother as soon as I came back. Is there anything we can't hear? Haha." An Meiming strode closer, and shook hands with Gu Wuji to show her enthusiasm, " It's been a long time, Gu Siye."

In fact, Gu Wuji just saw that Gu Jia returned safely, so he didn't feel very angry. He nodded to his brother and started to deal with An Meiming, saying, "Long time no see."

"It turns out that Mr. Lu is here too, please come in quickly." Gu Wuji said, "Osmanthus, don't do the laundry for now, go and make tea for the guests."

"Wuji, they didn't just come to drink tea, but to stay for dinner. Aren't we going to the capital for a few days? I want to invite all my friends to be guests, even if we spend a year with them in advance, okay? ?” Every time the third young master Gu asked “is it good”, what he got would only be “good”.

Sure enough, there was no reason for Gu Wuji to refuse. He liked his brother asking himself this way, as if he respected his own opinion, and especially needed his own advice and nod. Apart from himself, he couldn't do anything well and didn't dare to do it. From Gu Wuji's point of view, it was the elder brother who needed his eternal protection like a dodder.

"Of course there is no problem. You go out first. I'll help you call Chen Mansion and Bai Mansion and let me know if you're not drunk or coming back tonight." Gu Wuji patted his brother's waist and put his hand on it again , no longer win.

Gu Jia and Lu Yushan, who hadn't spoken all this time, looked at each other, finally nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'm going out now, you help me greet them well, and I'll ask Gao Yi and Du Mingjun if they want to come too. "

"It's up to you." Gu Wuji said.

After confirming that he wanted to treat guests in the evening, Gu Jia didn't plan to go out by car again, because he saw Fugui who had come back early and was squatting by the wall, so he went to take Fugui's rickshaw, and suddenly Fugui's head was up, and he pulled Gu Jia Running fast, before I knew it, I arrived at No. 33 Nanjing Road, under a half-old building.

This building has three floors in total, the first floor is for residents, and the second floor is where people have died. For the time being, many people think it is unlucky and dare not rent it. The third floor is where Gu Jia rented out his entire office.

When Gu Jia and three good friends were eating wontons at a small stall, they proposed to hang a signboard of the newspaper office on the stairs on the third floor, but the three student friends never agreed on the name of the newspaper office, so when they went upstairs All I could see was a blank sign, waiting for someone to write something on it with a brush.

"Brother Gao, Brother Du! I'm back!" Gu Jia asked Fugui to wait for her at the corner of the street, went upstairs and went straight to the largest office, where she saw ten desks filled with papers, and Du Mingjun In the countless paper mountains, I didn't hear Gu Jia's voice at all. It's normal that I can't hear other voices when I'm concentrating on it. Therefore, Gu Jia didn't think it was strange. Instead, she quietly stood behind Du Mingjun and looked at him. Content written by Du Mingjun.

It can be seen that four pages of manuscripts have been written on the table in front of Du Mingjun, all of which are about the Ding Hongyu incident. Each board needs to be revised, filled, and rectified, so none of them can be finally printed in the newspaper.

When Du Mingjun suddenly got stuck, he found a figure in his trance. He suddenly turned his head, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a shy smile, "Brother Gu really surprised me. Who did I think it was? standing right behind me."

Gu Jia found a stool and sat down, looked curiously at Du Mingjun's densely packed content, and said, "Is it finished?"

"It's not that fast. It's the first time we've run a newspaper. We're in such a hurry, but we can't be sloppy. It must be concise and easy to understand, so that everyone who reads the newspaper has a better reading experience than others!" Du Mingjun thought. Much more, "Besides, we are not sure who we are targeting now. I'm wondering if we should change it to vernacular Chinese, or change it all to the simplest words so that everyone can understand it."

The third young master Gu thought for a while and said: "No, this is not something you have to consider. You should first produce the manuscript that you think is the best and the best, and don't think about what to do if illiterate people can't understand it. Don’t think about whether the vernacular is not vernacular, you can just write the most fair and concise press release. As for the point of facing the crowd, I think we can spend a few pages to directly draw what you wrote, without writing. Painting, people can understand at a glance..."

"What new thing is this? Brother Gu knows someone who can do this?"

Gu Jia shook her head: "That's what I thought, you know that I can't read, so you always think that it would be great if you can express it like a movie, you watch Chaplin's movies like that, you don't speak at all, just rely on him The performance screen can make everyone laugh, how special!"

Du Mingjun wanted to say it was impossible, but after thinking about it carefully, he always felt like he had caught some inspiration, and suddenly became excited, and said: "By the way, I remember Brother Ding told me that there are similar works abroad. When it came out, it was called comics, which are similar to our earliest comic strips, but they are framed by grids to express stories in a similar way to movies!"

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that!" Du Mingjun said again, "But in order to make it easier for more people to accept this form of story, I think we should use the simplest comic strips to draw comics."

The domestic environment is still too closed, and there is no way to know too many things. People who have always been well-informed are people who travel around, have been to many places, and have seen many things. Students have no other way to get information except from newspapers.

Even if you want to read foreign books, there is no way. Sometimes someone may copy books by hand to bring back foreign masterpieces and share them with everyone, so students who are thirsty for knowledge scramble to copy them and read them hundreds of times. satisfy.

Even the comics that these students have never seen before, it is already very powerful to be told by Du Mingjun, but it is a pity that Du Mingjun has never seen it, and just guessed what kind of form it is from hearsay.But just this made Gu Jia very happy, and excitedly held Du Mingjun's hand, and said, "Surely such a thing exists?! Sure enough, this world is really incredible."

"Brother Gu still has a lot of things that he hasn't seen. We are still too far behind. We have to study their things as hard as we can, so that the students behind us won't be able to see the whole world like us."

Gu Jia looked at Du Mingjun in admiration, and always felt that when Du Mingjun said these words, his whole body was shining, full of the kind of spiritual strength that Gu Jia pursued and loved: "Brother Du, you are really amazing."

Du Mingjun was so praised, he lowered his head in embarrassment, quickly waved his hands, and said, "No, no, Brother Gu reminded me, Brother Gu is the real one."

Gu Jia couldn't help laughing: "Okay, don't flatter me, don't I know what I look like? I'm here to send over the document agreeing to establish a newspaper office. It needs to fill in the name of our newspaper office. It is considered a complete consent form. Then, during the period when I leave Tianjin Wei, you have to go through the formalities one after another. It is very simple, just hand it over to the guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Patrol Building, and I will greet you .”

"By the way, where is Brother Gao?" Gu Jia looked around, but Gao Yi was nowhere to be seen.

Du Mingjun said: "He went to discuss cooperation with other newspapers, and if they agree well, they will publish the content I wrote together. What the warlords themselves print is the same thing, what if they don’t believe our newspaper? So we must have second-hand preparations, think about if big newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao and Tianjin News also publish the same content as ours, is our newspaper credible? The speed has increased a lot?"

Gu Jia sighed: "You guys are really thoughtful, I didn't expect this."

"Brother Gu, everyone thinks from a different angle, just like you know that you asked me to write a newspaper, and you asked me to do management in the first year of high school, so there is no need to feel inferior to others because of things that others thought of but I didn't think of. You are in my heart..." Du Mingjun paused, "Brother Gu will never be worse than anyone else."

Gu Jia didn't feel that he was inferior to anyone, but Du Mingjun's words were really touching. He also looked at Du Mingjun's thin face sincerely, and said, "Brother Du is no worse than anyone else in my heart."

"I think if I don't come back, are you going to leave me to stay and fly together in the next second?" Gao Yi who didn't know when he came back dragged his body that could weigh two hundred catties, panting from exhaustion, Say, "Why is no one praising me? I have to be praised to be happy!"

Standing up, Gu Jia found a quilt and handed a glass of water to Gao Yi who was lying on the ground, and said, "Okay, brother Gao is very talented, has a brilliant literary talent, a dignified appearance, and an extraordinary appearance..."

"Stop, stop, forget it, you're talking nonsense with your eyes open, I'm ashamed to say it." Gao Yi drank all the water in one gulp, then sighed deeply as if drinking, and finally As if he had finally come back to life, he smiled, "I tell you, I have managed all the three major newspapers, and they agreed to get our manuscript tonight, and it will be the same as our printing if it passes the review!"

"Wow! Brother Gao, you are really amazing!" Third Young Master Gu was never stingy with his own praise, which was tempered day after day and year after year by his younger brother Wuji.

"Where is it? It's just a matter of lip service." Gao Yi touched his fat belly, his eyes were full of longing for a better future.

Those two were squatting or sitting on the ground, chatting and laughing, Du Mingjun looked at them, replaying in his mind the phrase Gao Yi said 'Shuang Su Shuang Fei', and he was in the dream newspaper office.Du Mingjun also laughed, he thought, in this life, he has nothing to ask for, and this moment is the best moment.
