Back to 80: My Literary Life

Not here for dinner?

Li Hongying was sitting at the dining table in the cafeteria. Her companion Chen Hong had already finished eating and returned to the dormitory. She was still eating the steamed buns slowly.

Watching the number of people serving food in the cafeteria gradually dwindle, there is still no sign of Fang Minghua.

Have you forgotten the time again?

Li Hongying thought about the day she saw Fang Minghua late for dinner and only bought two dry steamed buns. Her heart moved and she hurried to the window to buy two more steamed buns with her meal ticket and a dish from the canteen's enamel bowl.

Looking at the hand on the wall clock in the cafeteria, it had already pointed to 6:40. It was estimated that Fang Minghua would not come to the cafeteria. Li Hongying simply washed her dishes and chopsticks, and then walked towards the male students' dormitory with the buns and food from behind.

Fang Minghua really forgot about the time to eat. Today he wrote an episode of "Swordsman in the Snow" to a high point. When he finished washing, he looked at his watch and it was already past 6:30. It was estimated that there was no food in the cafeteria.

Let’s eat instant noodles

There was no stove in the dormitory, so he couldn't cook but soak. Fang Minghua poured boiling water in an enamel bowl, put the instant noodles in and covered them with the bowl. Just two minutes later, he heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw it was Li Hongying.

"Teacher Fang, I see you didn't come to the cafeteria to eat. Have you forgotten the time? I'll get you a copy."

Seeing the girl coming with a bowl filled with food, Fang Minghua was very moved, took the bowl and said, "Thank you, come in and sit down."

Li Hongying walked into the room and suddenly smelled a fragrance. She couldn't help but said, "Wow, it smells so good. Teacher Fang, what are you doing?"

"Instant noodles." Fang Minghua opened the bowl and said with a smile, "That's it."

Li Hongying looked at the round cake-shaped dough in the enamel bowl with curiosity. The aroma was even stronger at this time.

"Is this instant noodles? It tastes so good."

"You haven't eaten it?"

"No."

Seeing Li Hongying salivating as she looked at the instant noodles, Fang Minghua smiled and said, "How about you try it?"

"Why am I so embarrassed to eat your food?"

"You made me steamed buns, and I'll eat this." Fang Minghua closed the bowl again: "But it's not soaked yet. It won't taste good until the noodles are soft."

After a while, Fang Minghua thought it was almost done, so he took off the bowl, stirred it with chopsticks, handed it to Li Hongying and said with a smile: "Eat it."

People in the 1980s didn't have much fat in their stomachs. Although Li Hongying had already eaten, she felt hungry again when she smelled the fragrant smell.

He was not polite, said thank you, picked up the bowl and started eating.

"Wow, it's so fragrant and delicious!" the girl couldn't help but said after taking a bite of the noodles.

tasty?

Fang Minghua almost laughed.

The instant noodles of this era did not have the same seasoning packets as later generations. For example, the Tiantan brand instant noodles produced in Yanjing that Fang Minghua bought only contained salt and MSG in one packet, but Li Hongying still ate it with gusto.

In the end, I drank all the soup.

Fang Minghua admired this very much.

"It's delicious." Li Hongying was satisfied and asked again: "Teacher Fang, how much does this pack of instant noodles cost?"

"Six cents, two taels of food stamps."

"Ah, so expensive?" Li Hongying's eyes widened.

Indeed, in this era, although instant noodles are delicious, they are definitely not cheap.

Fang Minghua smiled: "Do you like to eat? I'll give you a few packs."

"That's so embarrassing."

"It's okay. Thank you for helping me prepare food. I don't like eating this stuff very much." Fang Minghua said, taking out four packs of instant noodles from the cabinet and putting them into a plastic bag. He also intimately warned: "Instant noodles can not only be soaked, but also directly Eat it like a snack.”

"Really? Thank you so much."

Li Hongying took the plastic bag, took her bowl and left happily.

Wow.

Teacher Fang was so kind. He gave him a meal once and he actually got four packs of instant noodles!

Huh.

I seem to have forgotten one thing.

After going downstairs, Li Hongying remembered that today she was going to ask Fang Minghua whether Sun Shaoping and Tian Xiaoxia from "The Ordinary World" were together in the end.

Went in to eat instant noodles and forgot!

Li Hongying looked up at Fang Minghua's dormitory on the third floor, forget it.

Don't disturb people anymore, leave it another day.

Time flies by, and Labor Day is coming soon.

With the popularity of the "Ordinary World" radio drama, the sales of this novel also increased. Fang Minghua could imagine Lu Yao in Xijing, with a long-lost smile on his face.

After Shi Tiiesheng stayed in the 301 Hospital for more than ten days, his deteriorating kidney disease was basically under control and he was discharged successfully. The next step was to follow Professor Zhang's instructions, take medicine on time, and undergo regular check-ups. This was a long and relatively painful process.

But for Shi Tiesheng, this has become a part of his life, in his words.

"My career is to be sick and my spare time is to write."

But no matter what, the situation will not be as bad as it was in history.

For this reason, Fang Minghua was also in a happy mood.

Today is the morning of April 30. Fang Minghua is watching a letter from Bai Miao in his dormitory. This letter also contains a contribution from the author.

Bai Miao said in the letter that during the recent period, the writers who signed the "Great God Agreement" have not submitted articles, but the "Editor's Recommendation" column cannot just disappear. After careful screening by him and the editors of the novel group, they decided to submit articles from other authors. This novel was selected and published in "Editor's Recommendation".

Damn it!

These guys are all lazy?

It seems that some people need to be pushed and urged, and some people need to hammer and hammer, especially some people, should they be locked up in a small dark room and coded hard?

So that I don't have to flirt with the young women in the class.

Fang Minghua thought, and the young man with messy hair and rebellious little eyes appeared in his mind.

Really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

There was a knock at the door.

The door was ajar. Fang Minghua turned around and saw Yu Hua wearing a white shirt and jeans.

"Teacher Fang, tomorrow is Labor Day. What are your plans? Where are you going to play?" Yu Hua came in with a smile and sat down on the sofa.

Fang Minghua put down the letter and looked at him: "What are your plans?"

"That's right. Isn't it a holiday tomorrow? We are going to visit Beihai Park and go boating. You are invited to go."

"Who?"

"Just you, me, Chen Hong and Li Hongying."

Um?

Fang Minghua stared at him.

What combination is this?

"You guys go and have fun, I still want to write a novel." Fang Minghua refused, and gave a very considerate warning: "Yu Hua, please pay attention to safety when taking the two girls out."

"No, Teacher Fang." Yu Hua was anxious.

Originally, he wanted to ask Chen Hong to go play together, but Chen Hong said that she would not go alone and would go with Li Hongying.

But Li Hongying said that if you invite Teacher Fang, it would be meaningless.

There was no other way, so Yu Hua had no choice but to come to Fang Minghua.

As a result, Fang Minghua said he wanted to write a novel!

"Teacher Fang, isn't the third part of "The Ordinary World" finished? What are you still writing?" Yu Hua asked.
