Literary Master 1978

Chapter 23 Am I not acting like a good person enough?

The afternoon sun shone into the room through the window glass, and sprinkled on the girl who was eating meat at the desk.

"We pay for food every month, and this is what your brother-in-law bought for me."

"We only have one dollar a day, and we can't even eat a few pieces of meat at home."

"Leave some for me!"

...

Tao Yushu's chattering in the girl's ear had no effect on her. The only sound in the room was the sound of teeth chewing animal fiber and fat.

After a long while, half of the lunch box of braised pork was swept away by Tao Yumo. She burped with satisfaction, and she could smell the aroma of meat from a long distance.

Tao Yushu quickly brought water: "Rinse your mouth!"

Tao Yumo took the water with a clear conscience, drank a sip, put her hand in front of her mouth and nose, blew a breath, and made sure that she could not smell the breath, then said: "Okay, okay. It's just a few pieces of meat. Look how scared you are!"

Tao Yushu opened the window as soon as he smelled the meat. Tao Yumo ate the meat and rinsed her mouth with water to cover up the odor. No one would believe that the two sisters were not born from the same mother.

It's obvious that she is a habitual offender of cheating!

Tao Yushu looked at the lunch box that was eaten up with pain, and regretted it in his heart. He should have put the lunch box away earlier, but was blackmailed by this girl.

After eating and drinking, Tao Yumo wiped his mouth with a proud look, "It's still the meat smell in the big dining room!"

"Did you hear everything I said to you?"

"I heard it, I heard it." Tao Yumo waved his hand impatiently and left gracefully.

After Tao Yumo left, Tao Yushu was still a little upset. She should be angry because she was cheated of half a box of braised pork.

But what made her even more angry was Tao Yumo's fearless attitude. It was obvious that he was holding her back and she dared not speak out.

Lin Chaoyang saw it clearly from the side. Tao Yushu usually complained about everything at home and was very stable. If the cheating was made public, it would be a heavy blow to her image at home.

Apart from anything else, at least this would be a disadvantage in the future when arguing with her mother-in-law. Tao Yushu would definitely not let her mother-in-law catch such a handle, so she indirectly helped the fearless sister-in-law.

If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.

Although Tao Yushu behaved like her father most of the time, she would occasionally reveal her mother's genes.

But this kind of temper not only did not make people annoyed, but made her more charming.

"I have to be careful of this girl in the future!" Tao Yushu concluded after learning from her mistakes.

Lin Chaoyang was very cooperative, "Let's go out to eat later."

"Yeah!" Tao Yushu nodded seriously, agreeing deeply.

After the cheating incident, Tao Yushu returned to her usual calmness and discussed with Lin Chaoyang for a long time about the literary criticism she wrote for "Scars".

After chatting for a while, Lin Chaoyang was distracted by the letter paper full of words, and suddenly said: "By the way, I forgot to report my safety to my family after so many days here."

Tao Yushu rolled his eyes at him, "By the time you remember, the daylily will be cold."

Lin Chaoyang immediately realized that with Tao Yushu's thoughtfulness, he must have taken care of the aftermath.

Sure enough, Tao Yushu continued: "I wrote a letter to my parents a few days ago and sent it over. I guess there should be a reply in a few days."

"Good wife!" Lin Chaoyang hugged Tao Yushu's face and kissed her.

"Annoying!"

When it was time for dinner, because Tao Yushu had eaten half a portion of braised pork in the afternoon, she was not hungry at all, so only Lin Chaoyang appeared at the dinner table.

Tao Yumo sat at the table, but even if she tried her best, she was still not happy about the dinner.

There were no two people to share the meat, so the elder brother-in-law's chopsticks flew up, and after a few chopsticks, he was scolded by Tao's mother.

"You are so old, but you don't know how to think about your wife and children!"

"Mom, I have been overusing my brain recently, I need to make up for it."

The elder brother-in-law's remarks are always so unexpected.

"What's the use of your brain?"

Lin Chaoyang is very sure that Tao Yushu inherited his mother's sharp tongue.

"Do you think writing a script is so easy?"

The elder brother-in-law muttered, but did not dare to speak loudly.

In this family, whoever offends him is like kicking cotton.

Next year is the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In Chinese tradition, the tenth birthday of the elderly is a big birthday, and the same is true for the country.

At this time, various domestic art institutions and units, such as film studios and drama troupes, always come up with a bunch of tribute works, which is an old tradition.

My brother-in-law works at the Central Academy of Drama, and he will also join in the fun at this time.

However, the Central Academy of Drama is a low-income government agency. Unlike film studios, which can use hundreds of thousands of funds to make a movie, the school basically mobilizes and allocates some money symbolically, and more relies on the work of faculty and students.

Recently, my brother-in-law is writing a drama to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Not only does he not get any royalties, but he also has to report to the school, and only if he is selected can he use it for free.

If it were Lin Chaoyang, he would never do such a thing as bringing his own dry food to the battlefield.

But his own brother-in-law...

Lin Chaoyang glanced at the side. Although he had not been in contact for a long time, Lin Chaoyang knew very well that his brother-in-law, who was more than half of his thirties, not only had the heart of a teenager, but also the heart of a literary youth.

Lin Chaoyang sometimes wonders about what his brother-in-law has been through. It seems that his experience is completely different from that of other people, so he must have a good chat with him if he has the chance.

After dinner, Lin Chaoyang took Tao Yushu out for a walk, but she didn't want to move.

"You've been stuck at home all day. Studying is studying, but you can't delay exercise."

Langrun Garden is an old garden from the Qing Dynasty. The water from the West Mountain flows through Guajiatun and flows into Langrun Lake. There is an island in the lake with pavilions and towers. In late summer, there is a beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.

The couple took a walk around Langrun Lake and met an old man. Tao Yushu greeted the old man and introduced the old man next to him to Lin Chaoyang.

"This is Professor Jin Kequn from the Department of Oriental Languages."

"Uncle Jin, this is my husband Lin Chaoyang."

Jin Kequn nodded slightly with a smile, "I heard about it."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sides said goodbye. Tao Yushu said to Lin Chaoyang: "Professor Jin Kequn is proficient in Sanskrit, Pali, Hindi, English, French, German and other languages. He was from a poor family and had no books to read after graduating from elementary school. Later, he relied on "stealing knowledge" in our Yanda Library and studied hard to achieve success and master both Chinese and Western knowledge."

At first, Lin Chaoyang didn't care, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong.

Jin Kequn only has an elementary school diploma, and he has a junior high school diploma. They all work in the Yanda Library. Lin Chaoyang's starting point is higher than his. The wife is looking forward to her husband's success!

Lin Chaoyang was puzzled. I have been in Yanjing for a few days. Am I not acting like a salted fish enough?

What misunderstanding made you have such unrealistic expectations of me?
