1980 My literary era

Teng Jinxian and Zhang Zhongpei were relieved to be able to solve the cultural relics protection problem of the Forbidden City without bloodshed, especially Zhang Zhongpei, the director of the Palace Museum.

Before Lin Weimin came, he really had a headache for several days because of the problem of shooting the script.

The filming of "The Last Emperor" was directly approved by the higher-ups. The crew agreed happily before coming in, but when it came time to implement it, they often chose to ignore the relevant regulations of the Forbidden City for their own convenience.

He refuses to listen even if he says something, and he refuses to push him away. Don't even think about punishment. After he has dealt with other people's crew on the front foot, he will have to be punished later.

Now, this big problem was solved easily by Lin Weimin, and Zhang Zhongpei felt relieved.

This time I was happy and drank too much.

Well, except Zhang Zhongpei.

At ten o'clock in the evening in Yanjing City, a group of greasy middle-aged men in their forties and fifties were wandering on the road. Teng Jinxian and Bertolucci put their arms around each other's shoulders. Like the two brothers, they also sang loudly. .

"Arise, hungry and cold slaves,

Arise, you wretches of the world!

The blood in my heart is already boiling,

Fight for the truth!

The old world is in ruins,

Slaves, get up, get up!

Don't say we have nothing,

We want to be the masters of the world!

This is the final struggle,

United together, until tomorrow,

Intrachonal must realize it. "

The cries of ghosts and wolves howling on the street made the young people who occasionally passed by look sideways.

Comrade Lao Bei showed his true colors as a well-known Communist Party member in Italy today. Not to mention a passerby, even Thomas, a long-time friend, was surprised.

"He's so crazy!" Thomas complained from behind.

Lin Weimin breathed out alcohol and said: "Lao Tuo, let me teach you another ancient Chinese saying, which tells me to go crazy as a teenager, hold the yellow on the left, and hold the blue on the right."

When he was reciting this sentence, Thomas was on his left and translator Xiao Jia was on his right.

"What does this mean?" Thomas asked.

Lin Weimin thought for a long time and shouted to the translator on the side: "Xiao Jia, how should I translate this sentence?"

Xiao Jia, who had zero sense of presence during the whole meal, finally found a way to use it and translated this sentence to Thomas after careful consideration.

Thomas shook his heavy head and said, "Not bad, not bad. I'm going crazy when I'm talking about it. I'm going crazy...hiccup..."

While talking, he exchanged positions with Lin Weimin.

The threesome became Thomas standing in the middle, with Lin Weimin on his left and Xiao Jia on his right.

Lin Weimin laughed and said, "You didn't drink too much!"

"I can drink a whole bottle of vodka, this little thing is nothing, ugh..."

Thomas didn't finish boasting, so he rolled his eyes, leaned down, opened his mouth, and flowed down three thousand feet, performing a set of operations smoothly.

Lin Weimin saw that the situation was not good, and when he was about to lean over, he jumped and escaped from the attack range.

Xiao Jia, whose reaction was half a beat too slow, didn't have time to break away from the battle. He looked at the dirt on his trouser legs and shoes and felt like crying.

I have served you all night, no credit but hard work, forget it, I just got scolded, you won’t even let me go if you vomit something!

After vomiting, Thomas was about to fall onto the curb on the side of the road. Xiao Jia quickly supported him with quick hands and eyes, "Teacher Lin!"

"It's coming! It's coming!" Lin Weimin responded, but moved his feet and kept mumbling: "Is this the vodka? I'll drink it for both of you!"

Xiao Jia couldn't help complaining, "Don't you know how much you drank?" I've been listening to you bragging all night!

Well, actually, I am not bragging. What Teacher Lin said is true. He is indeed awesome.

Comrades Lao Teng and Lao Bei in front were already drunk and almost disappeared while singing.

Lin Weimin and Xiao Jia supported the unconscious Thomas and chased him from behind, shouting: "Slow down, you two!"

Zhang Zhongpei followed a few people calmly and calmly.

The young people's voices became louder and louder than the others.

It’s a pity that he only drinks so much!

The next day, Lin Weimin came to work at the Chinese Literature Society with a bit of a hangover. At noon, he received an international wire transfer from Xiangjiang.

It is the royalties from Xiangjiang Publishing of "Ming Dynasty 1566". The first printing was 200,000 copies. Lin Weimin received 780,000 Hong Kong dollars in royalties.

Compared with other overseas regions, this royalties are a bit low. Some time ago, the French version of "Lover" was published, with an initial printing of 500,000 copies. Lin Weimin received nearly 600,000 US dollars in royalties.

But after all, Xiangjiang is a city with a population of only a few million.

The first printing of 200,000 copies is already a very high number. The peak of Jin Yong's martial arts novels at that time was only three to five million copies. What's more, "The Ming Dynasty 1566" is a serious historical novel.

In the afternoon, Shi Lan rode his bicycle to the Chinese Literature Society with a happy face.

Her sister-in-law Cheng Ximi got her job and became a teacher at Yanjing Institute of Electronic Science and Technology. The family could not be more satisfied with the result.

In the past six months, Cheng Ximi and Shi Tiesheng traveled back and forth between Yanjing and Xi'an for marriage and work. Now that the work is finally done, the young couple can be reunited.

"My dad and my brother asked you to come to our house for dinner to celebrate!"

"Okay, got it!"

After get off work in the evening, Lin Weimin came to No. 26 Yonghegong Street.

Although Lin Weimin had already promised to rent the small courtyard in Shichahai to Shi Tiesheng, Cheng Ximi did not come to Yanjing, and Shi Tiesheng was still unwilling to move there.

"When can Simi come over?"

Lin Weimin asked while eating.

"It's almost a month." Shi Tiesheng couldn't help but smile when he talked about this.

"I will have to move to Shichahai when I have time. The house has been empty for too long and is not popular. It is uncomfortable to live in a cold place. I asked my uncle to move there too," Lin Weimin said.

Father Shi immediately waved his hand and said, "It's fine if I live here."

"If you don't go, it will be inconvenient for Ximi to take care of Tiesheng alone." Lin Weimin found a reason.

Father Shi was also a little worried and said, "You can't leave! This house was allocated to you by the street. If you don't live in it, they will take it back."

Lin Weimin pointed at Shi Lan, "Isn't there also Shi Lan!"

Shi Lan was speechless. I also want to live in a big house, okay?

"The rent is two hundred yuan a year. Have you thought about it? If you don't live in such a big yard, will you lose money?" Lin Weimin said bewilderedly.

When Father Shi heard this, his face immediately hurt. The rent for this yard for one year was equivalent to three months of his salary. Thinking about it, he felt really distressed.

But now Shi Tiesheng can earn at least one to two thousand yuan a year by writing. It is not difficult to pay the rent. The biggest expense at home is actually Shi Tiesheng's illness.

"Then let's move there on the weekend, dad, and you can come with us," Shi Tiesheng said.

Father Shi nodded hesitantly.

Only Shi Lan was chewing meat with an unhappy look on his face.

On the weekend, Lin Weimin drove out to help Shi Tiesheng move.

There are many people here today, including the Liu Shuhua brothers, Zhou Yiying and his wife, Qu Xiaowei and his wife, Zheng Guo and his family who have not seen each other for a long time...

Everyone heard the news that Shi Tiesheng was moving, and came here to help today.

A crowd of people gathered in the small courtyard early in the morning. Shi Tiesheng's house had not been so lively for a long time, and everyone was very friendly when they met.

After chatting for a while, they started making arrangements for moving.

Everyone thought that there was strength in numbers, so they rolled up their arms and sleeves one by one, and were about to fight, but were stopped by Lin Weimin.

"I have everything. Just let Tie Sheng and the others bring a change of clothes and bedding."

Seeing what he said, everyone had to pack some things angrily. At the end of the day, some people still had empty hands.

He pretended to run to Lin Weimin's car, took out two books and put them on his bicycle. It was not a waste of time to move, which made everyone laugh.

"Shi Lan, take care of your house at home. I'll come over to pick you up for dinner later." Lin Weimin shouted to Shi Lan.

Shi Lan reluctantly agreed.

Before leaving, Shi Tiesheng glanced at the courtyard with nostalgia.

For these two rooms, of course he dragged his sick body and traveled between various government departments in Yanjing City for two years before finally being assigned this house.

"Okay, don't sigh, it's not like you won't come back!" Lin Weimin said to Shi Tiesheng again, and pushed him out of the alley without looking back.

He carried Shi Tiesheng into the car, put away the wheelchair, and headed straight for Shichahai, followed by a long line of bicycles.

The journey of two or three kilometers was not too far, and the car entered Baimi Xiejie. The originally peaceful alley suddenly became lively, and the Shichahai courtyard, which had been silent for a long time, heard the sound of people again.

After entering the yard, everyone first helped move everything into the house, and several lesbians helped clean up the house.

Others wandered around the yard before finally coming to a conclusion.

You really don’t need to bring anything with you!

"You can use the things in this yard as you like, and just tell me if you need anything." Lin Weimin said.

The Shichahai courtyard looks like a courtyard from the outside, but the interior decoration style is very modern. It has been five or six years, but it still looks very trendy.

The things in the room are also quite neatly arranged, including a TV and a refrigerator.

Not to mention other daily necessities, just the hill-like pile of coal piled in the reverse house used as a coal shed weighed at least more than a ton.

These coals can last at least two winters. Coal is not easy to buy these days.

Lin Weimin's move of using an upside-down house as a coal shed surprised everyone and was a bit extravagant.

Everyone heard that Shi Tiesheng rented Lin Weimin's yard for 200 yuan a year. At first, he thought it was a bit expensive. It's not that the rent was expensive, but that the rent itself was expensive.

These days, everyone lives in houses allocated by work units, or simply dormitories. Not many people spend money to rent a house, let alone spend 200 yuan a year to rent a house.

But now after seeing the decoration, layout and materials in this small courtyard, everyone just felt that the rent of this house was too affordable. The things Lin Weimin prepared could save Shi Tiesheng a lot of money in terms of living expenses alone.

After thinking about it for a while, everyone understood Lin Weimin's thoughts. He wanted to rent a house to Shi Tiesheng. It was inappropriate not to charge rent. Shi Tiesheng was definitely not willing to do so, so he exchanged the rent for materials to use in Shi Tiesheng's daily life.

You are caring for the people!

Everyone praised Lin Weimin because he deliberately avoided Shi Tiesheng and his son in private.

After chatting for a while, the lesbians had almost tidied up the house. In fact, there was nothing to tidy up. It was just that there was no one living in it for a long time, and there was a lot of dust in the house.

Everyone started making preparations. Today was Shi Tiesheng's first day of moving into his new home, so he naturally had to be happy.

Everyone was busy, Shi Tiesheng was smoking under the jujube tree in the courtyard, and suddenly said: "For the people, have you forgotten something?"

Lin Weimin held a pack of mutton head meat in his hand. Just now, the hawker's cries were heard outside the courtyard, so he went out to buy a portion.

Sheep head meat is called sheep head meat, but there are so many varieties sold, including sheep head meat, sheep hooves, sheep short ribs, sheep liver, sheep tripe, sheep soup, haggis, bitter sausage...

Sheep head meat is the most delicious. It is made from the face, chin, and neck of the sheep. It is full of elasticity, has no fat, and is full of aroma.

Lin Weimin reached out and took out a piece of sheep head meat dipped in pepper and salt from the thick paper bag and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate it happily, and then handed a package of meat to Shi Tiesheng.

"Try it! It tastes really good!"

Shi Tiesheng took the meat and took a bite, "Well, it's delicious!"

Lin Weimin said: "What did you say just now?"

Shi Tiesheng chewed something in his mouth, "It's nothing."
