1980 My literary era

August flies by.

After the summer weather, the hottest days in Yanjing City have finally passed, especially in the morning and evening, it has become cooler.

In September, Lin Weimin first received the manuscript fee bill from the Chinese Literature Society, and "Farewell My Concubine" was officially published, with an initial printing of 300,000 copies.

Lin Weimin received a royalties of 3,200 yuan in addition to basic royalties plus royalties for printing.

Including royalties from last month's additional printing of "Cliff", Lin Weimin received a total of 8,000 yuan in royalties in more than a month, and his savings exceeded 17,000 yuan.

He is considering a question: Should he buy two more courtyard houses?

He can remember that in a few years the dual-track system will cause serious inflation across the country, so he might as well stock up on some houses and make sure he makes money without losing money.

With this in mind, he asked his colleagues and friends around him to help him pay attention, which immediately attracted a lot of ridicule.

The colleagues in the editorial department joked the most. They stayed with Lin Weimin every day and could see Lin Weimin's manuscript fee slips at every turn.

Real money and silver are just floating around in front of their eyes. Who can not be envious?

As for the editors of the Chinese Literature Society, it is not uncommon for them to publish their works in other publications, and everyone has seen the fee slips.

But Lin Weimin's frequency and numbers are really a little bit evil, not only making everyone envious, but even a bit jealous.

Two days ago, the sample book of "Farewell My Concubine" was released, and Lin Weimin ordered more than a hundred copies from the agency.

Today, books are delivered directly from the printing house to the office.

Colleagues in the editorial department looked at the pile of novels and asked in surprise: "Weimin, do you have so many friends who want to send books to you?"

"Yes!" Lin Weimin said casually, "Do you have anything you want? I'll give you two copies each."

Liu Yin smiled and said: "You are really generous to the people, so I have to give two copies away."

Yao Shuzhi said: "My sister likes Farewell My Concubine the most. I will bring her a copy."

Rong Shihui, Zhu Changsheng, He Qizhi...

Almost every colleague in the editorial department has picked up one or two copies, either for his own collection or as a gift.

After everyone finished taking the book, they didn't forget to ask Lin Weimin to sign it and take it out to give away. This level of quality immediately increased.

After getting off work in the evening, Lin Weimin went to Yanda with this pile of books on his back.

"Lin Jun, why are you here?" Xiao Hei Yoko had just finished class and was very surprised to see Lin Weimin, with Yin Geli beside her.

Lin Weimin said with a smile: "Farewell My Concubine is officially published. I'm here to deliver the book to you guys."

As he spoke, Lin Weimin patted the book tied to the back seat of his bicycle.

"So many?" Xiao Heiyoko's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.

"Didn't I tell you before? I want to give you one hundred copies of "Farewell My Concubine"!"

Xiao Hei Yoko's big eyes were full of excitement, "Mr. Lin, do you still remember what I said?"

More than two months ago, on the Yanda campus, Xiaohei Yoko said to Lin Weimin: "If Lin Jun's "Farewell My Concubine" is published in the future, I will definitely buy a hundred copies and give them to everyone I know."

Lin Weimin said at that time: "Okay, when the day "Farewell My Concubine" is published, I will give you a hundred copies to give away."

Today, he came to fulfill his promise.

Xiao Heiyoko held her hands in front of her chest, her eyes seemed to turn into hearts, and her face was full of emotion, "Mr. Lin..."

Yin Geli on the side also felt sweet and romantic, and was happy for Xiao Hei Yoko. Could it be that Lin finally saw Yoko's feelings for him?

Lin Weimin smiled proudly and said: "Yangzi, how about it? Is this a good gift? I tell you, if "Farewell My Concubine" is published in Nihong in the future, I will give you another hundred copies of "Farewell My Concubine" in Nihong language. "Farewell My Concubine" will allow you to show off in front of your relatives and friends. Then you can tell them, this, you can give it to your friends in China, it will be great!"

"Lin Jun..." Xiao Hei Yoko was immersed in happiness at the moment, completely unaware of Lin Weimin's clumsy "Taijun" imitation show.

"Hey! How about it? Am I interesting enough?"

"Mr. Lin!" Xiao Hei Yoko finally recovered from the emotion and happiness, and a hungry tiger rushed into Lin Weimin's arms.

嘡嘡嘡!

Lin Weimin was rushed back several steps before he regained his balance.

Even though Ni Hong was a small girl, Lin Weimin still couldn't resist her impulsiveness.

He stiffened his body, not daring to move at all, and said in shock: "Yoko, what are you doing?"

"Lin Jun, stop talking, I understand your thoughts!" Xiao Heiyang buried his head in Lin Weimin's chest and said in a sullen voice.

Lin Weimin raised his head and met Yin Geli's gaze, and the two looked at each other.

The big girl's eyes are full of, um, blessings?

At this time, classes at Yanda University were over, and the streets were full of students.

The students passing by saw Lin Weimin and Yoko's actions and stopped, their faces full of excitement.

This was in the conservative 1980s, an era when men and women could blush even if they held hands with friends. Such unrestrained behavior of Xiaoguo Yoko simply refreshed the three views of these students. They stood there and pointed. Whispering.

Lin Weimin felt heartbroken when he looked at these busybodies with gossip written all over their faces.

You are all the pillars of the country and the core force in building the motherland in the future. If you spend your time and energy all day long on these romantic things, won't your conscience hurt?

"Yoko, let's calm down! Can you let me go first?"

Lin Weimin tried to use his hands to break open Xiao Hei Yoko's arms that were tightly holding his waist.

"Lin Jun, auntie will lead the way!"

Nani?

Lin Weimin was stunned for a moment, and then completely panicked. Is Auntie leading the way?

No, don’t! Don't lead the way, the imperial army doesn't need you to lead the way.

He grabbed Xiao Heiyoko's arms and used all his strength to finally push her away.

Their eyes met, Xiao Hei Yoko's eyes looked at him full of tenderness and sweetness, and she murmured: "Mr. Lin!"

"Yoko, I think you must be..."

"Wow!" Lin Weimin was about to explain when a burst of noise suddenly sounded around him, followed by whistles and cheers.

He followed the sound and found out that they were the students from the international student class. Led by Mark Meng, they were crowding around and cheering crazily.

Damn it!

Why didn’t I see you guys just now? Now they all appeared.

Lin Weimin quickly waved his hands at the gangsters who were watching the excitement and tried to stop their heckling.

However, these little foreigners mistakenly thought that they were asking them to work harder. The little foreigners worked even harder. Some of them were so angry that they took out textbooks from their schoolbags, shredded them into pieces of paper, and threw them into the air. Others Also learn from others.

Papers filled the sky like falling snow. Suddenly, Yenching University in September became somewhat romantic.

Xiao Hei Yoko looked at the snowflakes all over the sky and was a little crazy for a moment. She snuggled into Lin Weimin's arms and murmured: "Mr. Lin, have you seen it? The cherry blossoms in my hometown are blooming, and Yoko's wish has come true! "

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Just when the onlookers, including the heroine Koguro Yoko, were immersed in the atmosphere of beautiful and romantic confession, an inappropriate shout interrupted the young people's imagination of beautiful love.

The police officer on duty, wearing a green military uniform, stared with eyes as wide as bells, looking at Lin Weimin in a panic.

No, they are the ones who whistle, they are the ones who tear up the books, they are the ones who make noises. Why are you staring at me?

Lin Weimin forgot that Xiao Heiyang's hand tightly held his waist again.

Looking at the crime scene, the culprit must be these two young men who are fighting to death!

It's not unusual for a police station to be found in Yan University, but Lin Weimin couldn't figure it out. Is it worth it for you to come out and arrest me in broad daylight?

No, I didn’t break the law, I feel guilty!

"Come with us." The police uncle stepped forward and said.

Lin Weimin said subconsciously: "Uncle, it's none of my business."

The uncle glared at Lin Weimin, "You think we are human beings? You are still holding a girl in your arms. Tell us it's none of your business?"

Just when his uncle wanted to refute Lin Weimin righteously, Xiao Heiyang, who was dazzled by happiness, stood up.

"It's none of his business to catch me!"

When uncle heard this accent, foreign friends?

Looking around again, half of the people in the circle are foreigners.

Is this a big deal?

Isn't this a diplomatic accident?

My uncle can't take care of this anymore, so hurry up and call me!

Lin Weimin tried to explain a few words, but his uncle shouted: "Be honest!"

Lin Weimin was about to cry, but Xiao Heiyoko stood up and said, "You must respect Mr. Lin."

He quickly grabbed Xiao Hei Yoko and said, "My sister-in-law, if you can do it, don't cause any trouble here."

Xiao Hei Yoko muttered dissatisfiedly: "I won't allow them to do this to you."

Then she asked with some joy: "Lin Jun, what does 'little aunt' mean? Is it a term of endearment?"

Lin Weimin patted his head, feeling depressed and wanting to vomit blood.

The leaders of Yanda came very quickly, and a certain branch of Yanda also had a leader who was responsible for international student affairs.

The two parties involved were invited into the office. Apart from them, the group of people who had just made a fuss about Yangzi could not escape.

It involves foreign students studying in the school. This is a serious matter, and these people must be investigated.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Leader, please listen to my explanation. The situation is like this..." Lin Weimin held down Xiao Heiyang who wanted to speak.

But you must not let this little aunt speak, otherwise I won't be able to explain it clearly.

After listening to Lin Weimin's explanation for a long time, the leader finally grasped the main contradiction of the matter.

"You said you are Lin Weimin?"

Um?

No, does this have anything to do with my name?

"yes!"

"Come to Yanda to give a friend a newly published novel?"

"yes!"

"Then I was misunderstood by a group of students who were making fun of me."

"yes!"

After some questions and answers, the leader | told the people around him: "Go and notify the Chinese Literature Society and ask them to come and verify the situation."

Lin Weimin quickly stopped him and said, "Leader, there's no need to notify the unit about this, right?"

"How do you know if you are Comrade Lin Weimin without verification? What if you are a criminal who came to our Yanda campus | Pengmeng to abduct you? Foreign friends are involved here!"

The leader's words were resolute and full of justice, leaving Lin Weimin unable to refute.

It’s over!

Thinking of people in the club seeing him, and then hearing what happened from other people's mouths...

Six characters floated through Lin Weimin's mind: large-scale social death scene.

My eternal fame!

Seeing the worried look on his face, Xiao Hei Yoko thought that something big had really happened, and comforted him calmly: "Lin Jun, don't worry, if they really hold you responsible, I will say that everything is my fault | Yes, it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Weimin looked at Xiao Heiyang who looked innocent and ignorant, and sighed deeply.

While waiting for people from the Chinese Literature Society to come, people from outside came in one after another to report the situation in the leader's ear. It was probably that the questions from the students onlookers had been answered, and the leader's face gradually softened.

More than two hours later, there was a knock on the door. When the door was opened, Meng Weizai walked in.

Looking at the sullen Lin Weimin in the room, Meng Weizai glared at him, and then quickly stepped forward to explain to the leader.

Lin Weimin's identity was confirmed, and what happened just now was confirmed.

Finally the truth is revealed!

"Hahahaha, these young people nowadays are really fooling around!" Meng Weizai said while laughing with the leader.

The leader pulled Meng Weizai and whispered a few more words. Lin Weimin heard a few words here and there, such as "foreigner", "identity sensitive", "diplomatic incident" and so on.

Lin Weimin was not interested in listening to those things. He finally regained his freedom and was about to leave when he was stopped by the leader.

The leader whose attitude just now was like the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves now looked warm and came to Lin Weimin with a copy of "People's Literature" to ask for his autograph.

"Teacher Lin, my daughter really likes your works!"

thank you

My daughter likes it.

After pinching his nose and signing for the leader, Lin Weimin left the room unhappily.

As soon as he left the room, he found that Mark Meng and his gang were still waiting outside.

When they saw Lin Weimin, the group of people gave him a thumbs up. They thought Lin Weimin was here to express his love to Xiao Heiyang today.

"Jun Lin!" Xiao Hei Yoko chased him and grabbed his arm. The group of international students all showed envious eyes.

Lin Weimin was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

He turned to look at Xiao Hei Yoko and said, "Yoko, did you hear what I explained in the room just now? I really just came to give you a book today. I have no other intention."

Xiaohei Yoko looked at Lin Weimin with understanding on his face, "I understand! Mr. Lin, please stop talking."

You know what a hammer!

Lin Weimin didn't need to think about it to know that Xiao Heiyang must have thought that Lin Weimin was telling lies to get out of trouble!

He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

Why can't I explain this clearly?

Saying goodbye to the foreign students watching the fun with a sad face, Lin Weimin was about to explain a few words to Meng Weizai. Seeing his eyes signaling him, Lin Weimin looked behind him, and Little Tailed Yoko was following him obediently.

"Yoko, please go back first."

"Lin Jun, are you leaving?"

Lin Weimin said yes, and Xiao Heiyoko smiled brightly at him, "Time flies so short, I have to say goodbye to you, Mr. Lin, so soon!"

Lin Weimin forced out a smile and said, "Go back quickly."

Xiao Hei Yoko nodded seriously to him, "Okay. Then, Mr. Lin, goodbye!"

Until Xiaohei Yoko's back disappeared, Lin Weimin finally put down his hand, and the smile on his face had stiffened.

Turning his head to look, Meng Weizai stared at him with eyes as serious as a death ray.

"Director, please listen to my excuses...explanation!"
