The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

  Chapter 617, Locus Award, Mijian ~ Shuangling (For the alliance's claim, 0314 is still added!)

   Just now there was a yard where people were talking and laughing. At this moment, it seemed as if the night wind had blown away the sound, and the needles could be heard.

   Zhang Xuan was brushing his shoes, his fingers were all white foam.

   Seeing this, Mi Jian shook the water beads on his hand, helped pick up the phone, pressed the switch button, and put it in his ear.

"Hello."

  “hello”

   A voice came from over there, a little surprised, it was actually speaking English.

   What surprised him even more was that the call was from the sponsor of the well-known American science fiction/fantasy magazine "Track".

   The other party told him: "A Clockwork Girl" won the best sci-fi novel, and asked him to go to the United States to receive the award in October...

   After a question and answer session, Zhang Xuan froze in place.

Very surprised!

   was pleasantly surprised!

   Very cool!

   I never thought that the three major awards in the science fiction world would be won by myself in such a dramatic way.

   Really dramatic!

   Was informed of the Hugo Award in April.

   was told in May of the Nebula Award.

   The track award winner was announced in June.

   Three months in a row, three major awards, what does this mean?

   means a grand slam on the first shot!

  According to the phone call from the organizer just now, the congratulatory message is: I have won three major awards, and I am already a hallmark figure in the science fiction world, destined to go down in history and be remembered by history!

  Mi Jian was the closest to him, so he could hear the content of the call just now.

   At this moment, he looked at the man in front of him up close, and at the subtle expressions on his face, he was sincerely happy for him.

   "Congratulations! Another step forward in the world of literature!" Mi Jian was the first to congratulate.

   Looking at his beloved near Chi Chi, Zhang Xuan, who was immersed in his own world, couldn't help but leaned in and kissed her.

   "Hey!"

   The sound is not loud, the force is not strong, and there is no kiss. Just subconsciously kissed on the cheek.

   This sudden move made Mi Jian stunned!

   At this time, Liu Yi, uncle, aunt, Liu Xin and Wen Yu, who were all focused on Zhang Xuan, were also stunned!

   Then, Zhang Xuan, who had reacted, was also stunned!

   What a **** yo! What good have you done? I can't wait to slap myself to death.

   What kind of stupidity is this?

   Liu Yi is still there.

  After two seconds, Mi Jianqing pursed his lips and glanced at him, smiled and raised his head to say to everyone:

   "Zhang Xuan won the award, the Locus Award!"

   Locus Award?

   None of the people here are fools, nor are they illiterate. Due to the frequent attention to Zhang Xuan and the frequent reading of newspapers, it is natural to know that the Locus Award, together with the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, are also known as the three major novel awards in the science fiction industry.

   Zhang Xuan has already won the last two awards.

   And now being told that they won the Locus Award, a word often predicted in the newspapers came to mind at the same time: "Grand Slam"!

   At this moment, Zhang Xuan won the Grand Slam! This is a very dazzling achievement for the Chinese of this era!

   Very brilliant achievement!

   No wonder Zhang Xuan couldn't help kissing Mi Jian just now, this is exciting!

   This is something I can't help but want to share with my loved ones.

   Liu Xin couldn't help but think: If it were me, I would kiss my loved one by my side too!

  Liu Yi's eyes wandered over her daughter and Zhang Xuan, and at the same time helplessly, she also admired this young man who came out of the deep mountain countryside.

   Grand Slam!

   No matter how ignorant people are, they have been taught what is amazing by the newspaper reports in the past!

   After the silence, it erupted, and congratulations came one after another from the crowd!

"thanks, thanks!…"

   I kissed Mi Jian just now, but now Liu Yi is watching and saying hi, even if the old man is thick-skinned, he is a little embarrassed.

   "Brother, we should celebrate such a big event!" reminded Li Wendong, who loves celebrities.

   "It's time to celebrate, let's go, just go to Brother Li." Zhang Xuan is in a good mood now, and he doesn't care about the money at all.

   "The feelings are good, let's go now." Wen Yu looked at her watch.

   6:31pm, it's too early.

   The parties warmly invited, and all the people present in the face of such a happy event agreed, and happily got into the car.

  Since it is time to celebrate, Zhang Xuan will naturally not miss Tao Ge and editor-in-chief Hong who often take care of him.

   A call came, and the two readily agreed, saying they would come over immediately.

   This evening, Zhang Xuan waved his hand, calling for wind and rain on the 8th floor of the Anchang Club, spending a lot of money!

  What is more expensive!

  What's delicious!

   How many bottles of red wine?

point!

   Thousands of dishes?

point!

   Looking at his arrogant appearance, none of the people present thought he was extravagant.

   Because he has the capital.

   With such a rich net worth, if you don’t spend it at this time, when will you spend it?

   You don’t need to make money, so what do you use it for?

   But even so, even if someone paid the bill, Liu Yi and the others were still stunned when they saw the menu at that price!

   But after thinking about the splendor I saw along the way, I slowly relaxed.

   Li Wendong, who can claim to be brothers with Zhang, is naturally not that simple.

  Tao Ge came, and brought Tao Qin and Oriole.

   Later, editor-in-chief Hong, who was far away, also came.

   Everyone took their seats and began to exchange cups.

  Two drinks a day, Zhang Xuan was a little tired, and after a few rounds, he was forced to go to the bathroom once.

  Mi Jian came over and asked, "Are you alright?"

   Zhang Xuan shook his head: "Don't worry, it's fine, in fact, everyone has already let me."

  Mimi supported him, "Would you like to go upstairs to rest for a while?"

   Zhang Xuan refused: "No, today I'm the protagonist, and I won't be a big deal for a long time.

   Even if you can’t drink enough, it’s a good thing to sit and chat with everyone. "

   Returning to the box, Zhang Xuan drank some more, until he couldn't drink any more, so he gave up.

   During the banquet, Tao Ge poured Zhang Xuan a cup of tea, "Come on, I'll drink, you drink tea, sister toast to you!"

"it is good."

   The two of them touched each other lightly, raised their heads and drank, without saying anything.

   After drinking, Tao Ge asked Mi Jian, "Brother and sister, can you still drink?"

  Mi Jian has been taking care of Zhang Xuan tonight. He didn't drink much, so he smiled and said, "I can drink a little."

   Tao Ge poured wine for Mijian, picked up the glass and said, "Sister really envy you!"

   "Thank you, Sister Tao." Mi Jian touched Tao Ge and finished a small glass of red wine in small sips.

   After drinking, Tao Ge kept pulling Mi Jian to the side to talk.

   Zhang Xuan also made a sentence from time to time.

   It is said that wine is less than a thousand cups. Li Wendong, uncle and editor-in-chief Hong will meet good talents and chess opponents tonight, and they will be on the bar!

   The three of them are all massive, and drinking is like drinking water, and everyone is stunned.

   It was a lively night.

   This evening, the crowd did not disperse until after 11 o'clock.

   After returning home, Zhang Xuan, who had been drinking, ignored it and fell asleep.

   fell into a deep sleep, and even though the phone kept ringing, he didn't wake him up.

  Mi Jian helped him cover the thin quilt, and after hesitating for a few seconds at the "home" note on his phone, he still helped him.

   She didn't know that this house was the landline number of Shang Village? Or the landline number of Yangcheng?

   But I thought I was still calling so late, something must have happened, so I answered.

   "Man cubs, Mom got a call from Shuangling, Shuangling said you won another award."

   "Auntie, good evening."

   Hearing this title, Ruan Xiuqin, who was talking lively over there, stopped abruptly.

   "Mi see?" Ruan Xiuqin's stunned voice came a few seconds later.

  Mi saw that his right hand was smoothed to the back of his ear, looked at the night outside the window and said, "Well, it's me."

   Then, without waiting for the other side to speak, she told the truth again: "Zhang Xuan drank wine tonight and fell asleep.

  Auntie want to talk to him, I will wake him up for you. "

   "Are you together?" Ruan Xiuqin asked tightly.

"exist."

  Mi Jian knew that the other party had misunderstood. But she couldn't explain it clearly, or she couldn't explain it clearly, so she chose the shortest answer.

   "Did he drink a lot?" Ruan Xiuqin changed the subject for fear that Mi would be embarrassed.

  Mijian looked down at his face and said, "Zhang Xuan won the Locus Award today, and he drank a few more glasses during his celebration."

   For the first time talking to Mi Jian over the phone, Ruan Xiuqin had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.

   She knew that Manzai was very concerned about this girl.

   Ruan Xiuqin made up his mind and finally said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please help me take care of him. I will wake up tomorrow and ask him to call back."

  Mijian said softly, "Okay."

   The phone hung up, and before Mi Jian could breathe a sigh of relief, the Nokia in his hand rang again.

   At a glance, the note this time is "teacher's apartment".

   Don't think about it, Du Shuangling must have called.

  Just called Ruan Xiuqin, and Mi Jian, who was exhausted, did not choose to answer Du Shuangling's call again.

   turned the phone to silent and put it on the bedside table, Mi Jian just stared at it silently, feeling uneasy.

   On the other side, Du Shuangling, who was excited when she learned that her man won the award, heard the repeated "dong dong. dong.", and her mood slowly sank.

   When the last "dong" settled and turned into a busy tone of "beep beep", Du Shuangling put the receiver back.

   The phone was still on the phone just now, but now I called and no one answered, Du Shuangling guessed who was on the other side of the phone.

  Besides her and Mi Jian in the capital, who else could it be?

  If it were Zhang Xuan, he would definitely answer the phone.

  Reminiscent of the previous phone call with Aunt Xiuqin, Du Shuangling realized in her heart: Aunt Xiuqin called her in all likelihood during the phone call just now, and the person who answered the phone was also ready to speak, it is self-evident.

   Thinking of this, Du Shuangling subconsciously looked at the time, 11:16.

   It’s so late, so I can’t go back to Peking University, right?

   Seeing that Du Shuangling suddenly fell into silence, and seeing Du Shuangling's excited mood suddenly disappeared, Zou Qingzhu, who had been accompanying the courageous all the time, felt something was wrong.

   On the other hand, Wen Hui judged more intuitively that Mi Jian should be with Zhang Xuan tonight.

  What Du Shuangling thought of, as smart as Wenhui can naturally think of it.

   Seeing the two looking at her worriedly, Du Shuangling said with a smile: "There are still ingredients in the kitchen, let's make a late night snack. I want to drink some wine tonight."

   Knowing what was going on, Wen Hui got up neatly, said "OK" and went straight to the kitchen.

  Zou Qingzhu wanted to ask if something happened? But in the end, he didn't ask, and dragged Du Shuangling into the kitchen together.

  Upper Village.

   At this moment, the intersection is pitch black.

  Except for the little lights in the commissary to illuminate a table playing cards, all that was left was the sound of dogs barking.

   After the call with Mijian ended, Ruan Xiuqin had been sitting on the sofa in the dark for more than half an hour.

   She really misunderstood, thinking that Mi Jian had already slept with Manzai.

   Thinking of such a beautiful girl sleeping with her son at the moment, Ruan Xiuqin didn't know whether to be happy or to call her son a "jerk"!
