Literary Master 1978

Tao Yushu's tone of voice was not like admitting that Lin Chaoyang was the author of "The Wrangler", but more like saying that there was too much salt in the potato shreds, with an understatement and a natural expression.

"Why are you all looking at me like this? Let's eat!"

Everyone was eagerly waiting for Tao Yushu's explanation, but after she said this, she continued to eat.

I have mastered the art of breaking chapters.

Everyone couldn't find the answer in her mouth and turned their attention to Lin Chaoyang.

The uncle, like a little fairy who had just been abandoned by a scumbag, grabbed Lin Chaoyang, "Chaoyang, what's going on? Ah, tell me, is it really you who wrote it?"

Lin Chaoyang was a little puzzled. Considering the quality of the relationship at home, it shouldn't be the elder brother-in-law who takes the lead!

He had been paying attention to the performance of Tao's father and Tao's mother since Tao Yushu was talking. Apart from the initial shock, Tao's face quickly calmed down, and his eyes unconsciously showed a bit of relief. It was obviously that he expressed this to Lin Chaoyang's novel. Things are very happy.

It's just that due to his usually calm and self-defeating image at home, he didn't overly show this mood.

Tao's mother's expression was much more subtle. She had never looked down upon Lin Chaoyang, a rural son-in-law.

Although after more than half a year of getting along with each other, under Tao's father's pressure, Tao Yushu's resistance, and Lin Chaoyang's deliberate friendship, her attitude towards Lin Chaoyang no longer had the initial disgust.

But it is impossible to accept Lin Chaoyang happily.

The daughter she had finally raised was so beautiful and well-educated, yet she went to the countryside and suffered so much.

When the family finally reunited, they received news that their daughter had married a rural youth before they had time to enjoy family happiness.

Her outstanding daughter is obviously worthy of a better young talent.

Why did you choose to marry a rural man?

She couldn't figure it out, let alone agree. She blamed the past era, but how could the illusory era bear the resentment of a mother?

Her resentment must fall on a specific person, and of course, Lin Chaoyang became the outlet for her to vent her grievances.

Although from the past six months of getting along with him, she could feel that Lin Chaoyang was indeed a young man with good personal character and virtue, but she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

Without the circumstances of those years, perhaps her daughter could have a brighter future than she does now.

After Tao's mother was shocked, she realized that such an expression would enhance Lin Chaoyang's prestige and immediately restrained herself. However, unlike the smile in Tao's eyes, there was deep confusion in her eyes.

Why can Lin Chaoyang publish his works?

Mother Tao's eyes looked at Lin Chaoyang without hesitation, as if she wanted to find out what was going on with him.

Tao's father and Tao's mother's reaction was not what Lin Chaoyang expected, but uncle, what's the matter with you?

Aren't you afraid of your brother's hardship, and even more afraid of your brother driving a Land Rover?

Lin Chaoyang was right. Tao Yucheng didn't really look down on him, nor was he jealous of him for writing novels, but he couldn't accept the huge gap in his brother-in-law's performance.

Aren't you from a rural area? Don't you have a junior high school degree?

ah? You do speak!

"Brother, calm down!" Lin Chaoyang advised.

"I'm calm!"

The answer Tao Yucheng wanted didn't exist. Seeing him so excited, Lin Chaoyang couldn't bear to speak.

"Yucheng! Why are you so anxious? Let Chaoyang and Yushu speak slowly!"

Father Tao's voice was calm, and his elder brother-in-law quickly calmed down due to the power he had accumulated over the years.

The eldest uncle sat down and looked at Lin Chaoyang eagerly, as did the rest of the family.

Lin Chaoyang glanced at Tao Yushu and saw that she was still holding the rice bowl. He wanted to remind her: Wife, you are too deliberate.

"Ahem! Well...before, I was really trying to write. There was a student in the Chinese Department named Chen Jiangong, who was a somewhat famous author. I asked him to help me read the manuscript.

After reading it, he felt that my novel was good, so he recommended it to "Yanjing Literature and Art", which was the article "The Wrangler".

Everyone knows what happened later. After the novel was published, its impact was still quite large.

However, Yushu and I feel that we only published a short story, and some of the impact is just a fluke, so we should not deliberately mention these things. "

Briefly introducing what happened was tantamount to officially acknowledging his writing and publishing novels.

Lin Chaoyang felt a little uncomfortable with the Tao family's collective attention. He touched Tao Yushu lightly and said, "Yushu, please say a few words."

Those who didn’t know it thought it was a speech at an award ceremony.

Tao Yushu then put down his rice bowl, looked around, and admired the expressions of his family before speaking slowly.

"It's just a short story published. It doesn't count at Yanda. There's nothing to say.

I originally wanted to wait until Chaoyang published a book before telling you about it. At that time, I had some achievements.

Now, he has a novella to be published in "Yanjing Literature and Art" next month, so he has nothing to say. "

Lin Chaoyang looked at Tao Yushu's performance and shouted in his heart:

Wife, the drama is over.

Tao Yushu tried to create a calm demeanor in front of her family. Lin Chaoyang, as the person who knew her journey, felt awkward, but Tao's family didn't know.

Lin Chaoyang and his wife took turns speaking, confirming that Lin Chaoyang was really the Xu Lingjun who wrote "The Wrangler". This news was enough to shock them.

Moreover, Tao Yushu also said that Lin Chaoyang has another novella to be published soon. It seems that he is not the kind of amateur author who is lucky enough to publish a work and get no splash.

Is the Tao family going to publish a writer?

After Tao Yushu finished speaking, the family fell into a brief silence.

Fortunately, Father Tao reacted at this time and said loudly: "Okay!"

"It's gratifying that Chaoyang can achieve such results in writing. This is a happy event for our Tao family!"

Father Tao's affirmation attracted the approval of his uncle Tao Yucheng, "That's right. Chaoyang, I really saw you right!"

Lin Chaoyang:?

The words of the two men broke the silence at the dinner table. Sister-in-law Zhao Li was smiling and looking at Lin Chaoyang with a bit of admiration in her eyes.

"Chaoyang usually keeps quiet. He is really a talented person."

Lin Chaoyang caught a glimpse of Tao Yushu's eyebrows moving involuntarily when he heard his sister-in-law's compliments. He was obviously very happy.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. It's mainly because Yushu encourages me to read and write."

"Yu Shu is such a good wife!"

The sister-in-law's praise finally made Tao Yushu, who had been holding back his inner joy, unable to hold back any longer. A bright smile broke out on his face, "It has nothing to do with me. It's just that he has talent in this area."

At this point, she glanced at Tao Mu, "Talent is invisible and intangible. You have to have a discerning eye to discover it."

Naturally, she meant what she said to Mrs. Tao, and everyone else at the table also heard it. At this time, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became subtle.

"Talents also come in different sizes. Like Wang Bo and Li He, they are all in the pocket, but at the end of the day, they can be seen immediately. Mine is at best the light of a firefly."

Lin Chaoyang winked at Tao Yushu, indicating that she could just show off in a high-profile manner in front of her family, and not engage in precision strikes or targeted killings.

"'The tip is in the bag, the end is the end'" refers to the revelation of talent at critical moments. Brother-in-law, thank you for being a writer." Sister-in-law Tao Yumo reminded me.

Lin Chaoyang didn't take it seriously. Instead, he smiled at Tao Yushu and said, "See, this is called family origin. Yumo is truly our father's daughter."

Hearing this, Tao's father and Tao Yumo couldn't help but smile on their faces.

After praising two people in one sentence and resolving his own embarrassment, the uncle gave Lin Chaoyang a thumbs up.

Mother Tao looked at Lin Chaoyang in front of her, but what passed through her mind were those traitors who were famous in history.

At this point, the topic of Lin Chaoyang's writing and publishing of novels has been explained clearly, and the Tao family's dinner table was filled with joy.

Tao Yumo observed everyone's expressions and was in an unprecedented good mood.

It turns out that no one knew it.

When she thought that she was the first to know that her brother-in-law was a writer, she felt an inexplicable sense of pride in her heart.
