Literary Master 1978

After the rain, the weather in Yanjing became warmer day by day.

Lin Chaoyang's new work has actually started, but the efficiency is not very fast.

He writes one to two thousand words every day, and from time to time he has to start over from scratch. At night, he goes to the window, lights a cigarette and meditates alone, showing a cautious attitude of devoting himself to new works.

Tao Yushu was very pleased with her husband's performance, especially when she looked at Lin Chaoyang's silhouette standing by the window, Mr. Lu Xun's appearance always flashed through her mind from time to time. The only flaw might be that Lin Chaoyang was missing two beards. .

After several days of acting, even Lin Chaoyang was almost brainwashed by him.

The cigarettes have been consumed too quickly recently, and I don’t know when my brother-in-law will come next time.

Seeing that school starts in a few days, many students return to school early. Yanyuan, which had been deserted for most of the winter vacation, finally regained some popularity.

That afternoon, Lin Chaoyang received a fee slip from the editorial department of "Xinhua Digest". His "Wrangler" will be published in the next issue of "Xinhua Digest". For this reason, the editorial department paid him 51 yuan in reprint fees.

In the evening, Lin Chaoyang handed the manuscript fee slip to Tao Yushu. She was overjoyed. She didn't expect to receive the manuscript fee for "The Wrangler" again.

Including creative talks, "The Wrangler", a novel with just over 10,000 words, has already brought Lin Chaoyang 164 yuan.

"Writing is really profitable!" Tao Yushu said sincerely.

"Then it has to be published."

Tao Yushu held his hand, his eyes moving, "I believe you!"

Lin Chaoyang knew in his heart that this girl was giving him Ecstasy again.

"I'll treat you to western food tonight!" Lin Chaoyang suggested.

A trace of heartbeat flashed across Tao Yushu's face, but after hesitating for a moment, she said: "Forget it. Don't waste it. Besides, if we don't eat at home tonight, mom won't refund our money."

Lin Chaoyang couldn't help scratching her nose, "You are too obsessed with money, and you don't care about the little money."

"A whole fifty cents!"

On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head and Yanda officially starts school.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. The campus is crowded with people and full of vitality. Students who have not seen each other for half the winter are greeting each other. Youthful and energetic figures are everywhere in Yanyuan.

The work of the library also got back on track on this day. In the afternoon, Lin Chaoyang was approached by the library director Xie Daoyuan.

"Director, you are looking for me."

"Yes." Xie Daoyuan, who was at work, took off his reading glasses, "To make a long story short, the library will set up an automation research group, and Deputy Director Liang will be in charge. I want to transfer you there and want to hear your opinions."

"Transfer me to the automation research group?" Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised.

The so-called automation research group, Lin Chaoyang heard his colleagues mention in a chat recently, is a department of the library that plans to keep pace with the times and use computers to coordinate the management of the library's books.

To this end, the library has also jointly established a library automation and information retrieval laboratory with the school's Computer Research Institute, setting a precedent for automation in the domestic library industry. This team will undoubtedly become the earliest professional library automation team in the country. .

Liang Shizhuang, deputy director of the Automation Research Group, is the second daughter of Mr. Liang Qichao.

Lin Chaoyang thought for a moment and knew that there must be a favor from his father-in-law.

"Director, thank you for your compliments. But with my academic qualifications, I'm afraid I'll be criticized if I go in, right?"

Xie Daoyuan's expression remained normal, "There will always be someone to tell you anything you do."

Lin Chaoyang knew what Xie Daoyuan meant, and he was responsible for this matter, but the more he said this, the less Lin Chaoyang wanted to go in.

It's not that he doesn't appreciate praise, but he doesn't want to harm Xie Daoyuan's reputation because of himself.

With a decision in his mind, Lin Chaoyang said seriously: "Director, thank you for your kindness. However, I think I may not be suitable for this kind of document work. My current job at the library desk is quite good."

Hearing Lin Chaoyang's conversation, a flash of surprise flashed across Xie Daoyuan's face, "You really don't want to go? This is a good opportunity to become a regular employee."

"Thank you for your kindness."

Xie Daoyuan nodded, "Okay. Since you have decided, forget it."

The atmosphere fell into silence. Lin Chaoyang was just thinking of saying a few polite words to say goodbye when he heard Xie Daoyuan ask: "I heard someone said that you are interested in literary creation?"

Moyu was called out by the leader to his face, and this wave of Tuotuo Society died.

Lin Chaoyang nodded with difficulty, "Yes, write some novels."

"What books have you read recently?"

Lin Chaoyang answered honestly: "Hao Ran's "Golden Avenue" and "Sunny Sky", Shen Congwen's "Border Town", "Xue Qing" and "Song Notes of a Journey to Hunan"..."

Xie Daoyuan frowned slightly, "Only studying in China?"

His question made Lin Chaoyang feel a burst of pressure, as if he was picked by the teacher to recite the text in elementary school.

"I have read a lot of foreign works before, but I feel that I know too little about modern domestic works, so I want to know more about them."

"Don't read modern stuff. The creative mode of vernacular novels is borrowed from the West. What can you get out of those imported second-rate novels?

For Chinese, read romances of the Tang Dynasty and Ming and Qing novels; for foreigners, read French, Russian, and British novels... you can barely read them, but don't touch American ones. This foreign language... you still need to learn a foreign language, and you still have to do your best to read. You may want to read the original work. "

After Xie Daoyuan said this, he thought for a while and said: "You can listen to the Chinese Department's classes when you have time. You can listen to Wu Zuxiang's "Essentials of the History of Ancient Chinese Novels" and Qu Yude's "Folk Literature"... you can listen to these. After absorbing all these, look elsewhere.”

After coming to Yanjing for so long, Lin Chaoyang was moved for the first time to receive guidance from his seniors on how to accumulate academic knowledge.

"Thank you, curator. I have written down everything you said. I will study it carefully."

"Yeah. What I just told you, you need to see, listen to, and learn, but you also need to have the ability to distinguish and learn to pick the essence."

From beginning to end, Lin Chaoyang never asked Xie Daoyuan that he had to work during the day, so how could he find time to attend classes in the Chinese Department.

This is just like when the company leader tells you to handle a certain task, he won't say hello to all the departments involved.

Shang Fang’s sword has been given to you, but you still need the leader to come forward. What does the leader want you to do?

Lin Chaoyang was happy when he thought that in the future he could not only fish in the library, but also take classes in the Chinese Department.

Going to college? Which university to take? Wouldn’t it be nice to be a spectator? He doesn't want a diploma.

If you want to take classes, go and listen to the teachings of famous people. If I don’t want to go to class anymore, I can work peacefully, catch some fish, and write some novels.

These days, the gods are nothing more than this.

At the same time, Lin Chaoyang also understood in his heart that the reason why Xie Daoyuan valued him so much must be because of Tao's father.

He didn't have any specific feelings a few months ago, but he only discovered it now.

It’s so cool to have my professor’s father-in-law watching over me!
