1980 My literary era

After the first lunar month, the weather in Yanjing gradually warms up, and the daytime temperature occasionally climbs to more than ten degrees above zero.

The decoration of the small courtyard on the Shichahai side has been completed. On a sunny weekend, Lin Weimin was ready to move.

Knowing that he was moving, Qu Xiaowei and Wang Shuo came to help.

In fact, there is no need for them at all. Lin Weimin is a single man and doesn't have much.

Writers and editor friends who lived in the Chinese Literature Society learned that he was moving today. They blocked the door of Lin Weimin's dormitory from early in the morning and took the initiative to help him move.

Lin Weimin looked at the dozens of people in front of him, and then looked at the three or four bags of stuff he had in total. He always felt that these people had no good intentions.

Everyone came, and the reasons were so high-sounding that Lin Weimin couldn't refuse.

We can only let this group of people carry something in their hands, divide his belongings cleanly, and then walk briskly towards Shichahai.

Many of them were writers who came to revise manuscripts from other places. They didn't have bicycles, so they simply sat on the back seat of other people's bicycles. Later, it became impossible to sit on the back seat, and even the crossbar in front of the bicycle was not spared.

Three old men were crowded on a bicycle. The scene was so beautiful that I didn’t even notice it.

On the way out from Chaonei Street, the spring scenery was bright and beautiful. The bleak winter scene earlier had gradually gained some life. A group of people were riding bicycles on the streets of Yanjing.

I don't know who started it, and everyone couldn't help but start singing.

"Young friends

Come and meet today

Swing the boat

Warm breeze blows gently

Flowers fragrant and birds chirping

Spring is intoxicating

Singing and laughing are flying around the colorful clouds

…”

The song "Young Friends Come to Meet" was written by Zhang Meitong, composed by Gu Jianfen, and sung by Ren Yan. Since its launch last year, it has become a hit all over the country and is popular all over the country.

The group of people sang and laughed like this as they walked from Chaonei Street to Baimi Xiejie.

Pushing the door open and entering Lin Weimin's small courtyard, everyone didn't even bother to put down their things. They just walked around in the small courtyard. How could anyone come to help with the move?

Lin Weimin shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, not everyone was so blind and helped Lin Weimin pack his things.

"Oh! This courtyard for the people is really bright."

"Isn't that right? It's rare to see such a neat little yard!"

"It cost a lot of money, right? Hey, Weimin, how much did you spend on this yard?"

Everyone shouted to Lin Weimin, and Lin Weimin said ambiguously: "It cost several thousand yuan."

Everyone sighed, this guy is really rich!

The news that Lin Weimin bought a yard has spread throughout the Chinese Society these days, but he has never revealed how much he spent.

At any time, it makes sense not to reveal your wealth.

Everyone came to help Lin Weimin move today, and most of them wanted to visit Lin Weimin's small courtyard.

Lin Weimin has added a lot of things to the small courtyard during this time. There is no problem in moving in today.

After briefly cleaning up, he arranged for Qu Xiaowei and Wang Shuo to go out and help buy some food.

Colleagues who are familiar with him in the news agency where he moved today all know that they have made an appointment to come over today to celebrate his move.

Zheng Guo watched Lin Weimin take out a few big coupons and handed them to Qu Xiaowei, and said to the people around him with joy, "I can have a good meal again today."

This guy's style has always been like this, and everyone has long been used to it, so they give him a lot of ridicule.

Zheng Guo didn't care either. Being able to take advantage of others without losing a piece of meat was the most important thing.

When Qu Xiaowei and Wang Shuo went out to buy, colleagues from the company came to Lin Weimin's courtyard one after another.

"Director, you are here!"

"Editor-in-Chief, please come in quickly."

Lin Weimin stood at the door like a welcoming boy and welcomed everyone with a smile on his face.

Everyone came empty-handed. Lin Weimin collected a bunch of towels, sheets, and thermos bottles.

After entering the courtyard, everyone can't help but take a look inside and outside the courtyard and comment on it.

Not many people buy a house with their own money these days. Firstly, their work units all share houses, and secondly, their income is not high and they cannot save much money.

People like Lin Weimin who spent thousands of dollars to buy a small courtyard house in Yanjing City are rare among colleagues and friends in this circle.

Everyone talked and laughed, and used this matter to make fun of Lin Weimin.

Liu Yin took out a handful of melon seeds from nowhere and said, "Weimin, you have finished buying your house now. It's a waste to live alone. When are you going to find someone?"

When she said this, many people around her suddenly started to boo.

"That's right, when are you going to have a girlfriend?"

Lin Weimin chuckled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'm only twenty. The ones who should be anxious are those comrades who are in their late twenties, late thirties, or almost thirty and haven't gotten married yet."

He is a group victim. Several of the people who came today are singles, and two of them are almost thirty and have not yet found a partner.

"Hey, hey, you've gone too far!"

"That's right. Who is this person? He doesn't expect everyone's favor!"

Everyone collectively denounced Lin Weimin. He had a proud look on his face and asked the guys to play cymbals with me.

Qu Xiaowei and Wang Shuocai bought back. In addition to rice, flour, grains, oils, vegetables and meat, they also bought a lot of peanuts, melon seeds, and candies.

There are too many people here today, more than 30 people at any time. These things are indispensable.

With snacks, everyone was more interested in chatting.

A group of three or five people gathered together and chatted all over the world. A few people took the initiative to take on the task of today's housewarming party and were busy in the east wing.

While Liu Yin was washing vegetables, she asked, "Weimin, why did you think of putting the kitchen in the east wing?"

The layout of the courtyard is particular. The one parallel to the main entrance is called the main house, which is usually occupied by the head of the family. The east and west wing rooms are for children, servants or guests.

The east is respected, and usually the eldest son of the family lives in the east wing.

Lin Weimin placed the kitchen in the east wing, but placed the guest room and study in the west wing, so Liu Yin had this question.

Lin Weimin said: "It's nothing, I just feel that the west wing is more livable."

The sun is rising, and the west wing has plenty of sunshine. On the contrary, the east wing has poor lighting most of the day, and it only gets better in the afternoon.

Lin Weimin doesn't want to lower his quality of life just because of a so-called emphasis.

While he was chatting with several chefs in the kitchen, Qu Xiaowei's voice rang out in the courtyard.

"For the people, Tie Sheng is here!"

Lin Weimin came out of the east wing, saw Shi Lan pushing Shi Tiesheng, and said with a smile: "Tiesheng, you are here."

He introduced Shi Tiesheng to everyone in the courtyard, and when he turned around, he found that Shi Lan had run to the kitchen to help, with a happy expression.

A few people were busy in the kitchen talking and laughing, while others were scattered in the yard and the living room of the main house talking.

The whole yard was full of lively atmosphere, and Lin Weimin smiled knowingly.

This feels so good!
