1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 65: The Good and Cowardly Kid
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, Lu Yifan made a long-distance call to his hometown.

This time I got back and spoke directly to my family right away.

Speaking of which, the place in my hometown is also very considerate.

In addition to vaguely hearing about the signing of a large military trade contract, I also heard that Lu Yifan was summoned directly from the provincial capital to the capital for a meeting years ago...

Such a series of earth-shaking events are happening now.

In the commune, the brigade actually changed the route of the telephone line of the Renhe Production Brigade headquarters for the first time, and the landline was temporarily "attached" to the home of an ordinary villager, old man Lu Xiangrong.

Such unexpected treatment is naturally for convenience. Comrade Lu Yifan, a big shot from Renhe Village, can communicate with his hometown in a timely and convenient manner when encountering problems.

It is even to make changing telephone lines more rational.

In the commune and the brigade, the leading cadres were already planning to nominate Comrade Lu Xiangrong, an ordinary villager, to fill in the position of grassroots cadre and village secretary in the brigade.

Lu Yifan didn't think about so many details.

After the call was connected, I learned that Director Wang had already delivered the letter and conveyed all his words of advice.

Long distance calls are really expensive these days.

Although the people on both ends of the call are just taking advantage of the public convenience and don't have to pay for it themselves.

But the more this is the case, the more we need to be more self-aware.

So we chatted for a few words, told our family everything was fine, and ended the call.

Originally I was planning to hang out in the General Political Department Art Troupe.

So, after only two days, he had basically become familiar with everyone in the group.

Everyone is so tolerant towards talented people.

The only thing that made Lu Yifan a little unhappy was the little bamboo raft Li Erjiang. This fellow was still ruthless and secretly created opportunities for encounters several times, trying to get closer to him in various ways, and even shamelessly asked him to customize a new song...

As the old saying goes, if you are thick-skinned, you will eat enough.

In another time and space, a small bamboo raft could have such a good life and climbed to such a high position.

Apart from the fact that his voice is really good.

I guess it's just because of their shameless determination to work hard and seize opportunities!
The Li Erjiang in this story, of course, was not as successful as he later became. He married a young wife and had a young son. Burdened by his wife and young son, he gradually became a man of immorality in his old age.

Of course, this is also due to the current environment.

If he has such a bad character, with so many eyes in the group, he would be finished even if he had three heads and six arms.

Of course, Lu Yifan has a lot of new and nice military songs in his head, and he can have waves of "inspiration explosions" at any time.

But if I ask you to give me a small bamboo raft, forget it!

When I see the chance, I will give you a hard time in front of Captain Shi and cut off your retreat.

After making a long-distance call to my hometown through the guesthouse's switchboard, I thanked the attendant and prepared to go out for a stroll.

This has become his 'routine'.

The answer is to go out to the market to collect folk customs, experience the daily life of the citizens in the capital of our motherland, and then extract new materials and collect new creative inspiration from the most ordinary people's lives.

This is the convenience of being seconded here to play a new role as a creative staff member.

I had just walked out of the guesthouse.

Just as he was walking towards the gate of the art troupe.

Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, accompanied by a series of loud shouts. Someone was calling his name from behind, "Comrade Yifan, Comrade Yifan, please wait a moment..." Lu Yifan turned around, and the director of the creative studio, Wei Feng, jogging after him.

Wei Feng was holding a newspaper in his hand, and before he even came up to him, he excitedly waved it at him, "It's in the newspaper. Comrade Yifan, your two military songs have been published on the front page of the military newspaper..."

Lu Yifan was stunned for a moment, then he took the military newspaper and saw that the two military songs "The Full Moon on the 15th" and "The Motherland Will Not Forget" were published.

Moreover, "The Motherland Will Not Forget" still occupied the front page.

Take another look at the article title and content.

I understood it immediately: Ha, this is the rhythm of helping my eldest brother become famous in the military newspaper after he returns to the army!

Then I looked at the slightly brief special report of more than 100 words: Thanks from all the officers and soldiers of our army's XXXX Western Xinjiang National Defense Engineering Construction Corps, thanks to the author for his creation, which fully expressed their voices...

Oh no!

Pointing at the military unit code on the newspaper, he asked Wei Feng, "Director Wei, is this the code of the aerospace engineering unit deep in the northwest desert?"

Wei Feng smiled and nodded, "If I hadn't heard you mention before that the inspiration for the two songs came from your meeting when your eldest brother came home to visit relatives, I would have thought that the work of our General Political Department was plagiarized by others..."

Lu Yifan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

However, now I have accidentally found out the nature of the unit my eldest brother serves in.

My brother is awesome!
No wonder when he was at home, whenever he mentioned things about his army, he always kept his mouth shut and was very secretive.

"Director Wei, can I talk to my eldest brother on the phone? It won't violate discipline, right?" It was naturally against the rules to use normal communication channels to call his eldest brother's unit for external liaison. The reason why Lu Yifan asked Wei Feng this at this moment was that he wanted the other party to do him a small favor and get him some convenience.

In the end, he took these two military songs, gave them to his eldest brother first, and now he is using them to "hang out" with the General Political Department Art Troupe, which seems like he's having the best of both worlds!

To avoid more misunderstandings, and of course mainly to give my eldest brother a surprise.

Making a phone call is naturally the most convenient solution.

Wei Feng smiled and put his arm around his shoulder, saying, "Ha, I was just planning to make trouble for them for publishing their work 'without permission'! Hahahaha, I rushed over to stop you just to make things clear for you about this creation going wrong..."

Got it!
Listen to how others make money by taking advantage of his favor.

They came to the office of the studio together.

Because it is still the New Year holiday, there is no one else in the studio now.

After seeing the news in the newspaper, Wei Feng ran straight from the dormitory to the guesthouse. Fortunately, he ran into Lu Yifan who was going out to "collect folk songs".

Next, it was time for Comrade Wei Feng, director of the Creative Studio of the General Political Department Art Troupe, to "perform".

He picked up the phone and called the external contact number of a certain unit in the northwest in a very serious manner. Then he brought out his identity and mentioned that the two military songs published in the military newspaper today had already been recorded and retained by them, and even the rehearsal, arrangement, dance and chorus were all completed, and they were just waiting to be performed during the Lantern Festival...

Anyway, a bunch of scary words were thrown at the other party.

The final result was that the situation was reported quickly and the "culprit" Lu Yifan's elder brother Lu Yilong was soon caught on the other end of the telephone line.

On the other end of the phone line, I wonder what Big Brother Lu Yilong was feeling at that time.

Lu Yifan was a little hesitant to ask around. Anyway, when he picked up the call from Director Wei Feng and said "Hello" to his elder brother, he seemed to hear his elder brother blurt out "Eh thief..."

"Big brother!"

"Yifan, you are a good boy, you are a good boy, you are a good boy, you are a good boy, what about the gray cheese..."

The eldest brother spoke nervously in authentic Qinqiang dialect.

The surprise in his tone was so intense that I could almost feel his saliva spitting even through the phone line.
