1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 138 Father Feng's roar, you are too ridiculous (please order the whole book

"Teacher Gu, please don't show me that novella! I'm afraid I won't be able to put it down after reading it!"

"Just ask Xuemin to send People's Literature!"

Liu Xinwu was eavesdropping nearby and felt that Teacher Gu and Li Qingquan were playing a trick on him when they were talking on the phone.

After seeing Teacher Gu finish the call, I waved my hands repeatedly, saying that it was better not to read the novella in Teacher Gu's hand.

Since they want to make a bigger splash, they certainly can’t do without their northern leader, People’s Literature!
It just so happens that Teacher Gu has a novella on hand, so I will definitely use it right away!
If they kept it in the hands of "October" and published it in the next issue, Li Qingquan and others would inevitably scold Liu Xinwu for being greedy and failing at the critical moment.

"Eh?! Lao Liu, are you really willing to do that?"

Feng's mother had just hung up the phone, and her heart was truly touched by Li Qingquan's words!
I was thinking of having the novella in my hand published in People's Literature first, so as to build up some momentum through the United Front.

But he spoke too quickly and gave it to Lao Liu. He was still thinking about how to discuss it with Lao Liu, but he didn't expect that Lao Liu must have heard what Li Qingquan said on the phone and expressed his opinion on the spot without saying a word.

Instead, it made Feng's mother feel a little embarrassed!

"I just can't bear to give it to him, so I just don't watch it! It saves me from watching it. I really can't bear to give him Zhang Guangnian!"

In the face of the united front, Liu Xinwu will not lag behind.

Isn’t it just a novella!

As long as Teacher Gu’s son-in-law can still write, will she be able to do without good manuscripts from her mother-in-law in the future?

"Okay, then, Lao Liu, thank you. I won't be polite with you!"

"I'll ask Xuemin to send that novella to Mr. Zhang from People's Literature tomorrow!"

Feng's mother is not a pretentious person. Since Old Liu has already given in, there is no reason for her, as a mother-in-law, to be reluctant.

"Okay, okay, let Xuemin deliver it as soon as possible! Lao Zhang will also start finalizing the draft in the next few days!"

Liu Xinwu nodded in disappointment, but asked unwillingly, "Teacher Gu, how is Xuemin's novella? Can you tell me about its general content?"

"Old Liu, since you've given up, you'd better know less!"

When talking about the content of the novella, Feng's mother's face turned red instantly and she didn't know how to tell Lao Liu.

Feng's mother also didn't expect that the manuscript that the debt collector couple refused to take out even if they were beaten to death was actually about this!
He is really a good son-in-law to Gu Xueqing!
He actually wrote about her, the mother-in-law, in that way. It was so thorough!

to be frank!
When mother-in-law Feng got home from get off work, she didn't know how to face her son-in-law.

I don’t know whether I should criticize and teach him a lesson or praise him!
Anyway, I just think, since it is about the mother-in-law, why not let her know at the beginning? At least ask her in person for her opinion, how should I write it?

The debt collector couple, on the other hand, just shut themselves up and wrote whatever they imagined, which made her, the mother-in-law, feel angry, happy, and ashamed, with complicated emotions.

"Ah?! So, it's just written very well?"

When Liu Xinwu saw Teacher Gu's shy and humble expression, he immediately realized that he might be too generous and gave up an excellent article.

That’s right!
Only then did Liu Xinwu realize that the manuscripts written by Teacher Gu's son-in-law Cheng Xuemin were all completed and submitted at an incredibly fast speed.

But this novella can be said to be carefully polished and took me more than a month to write.

Just from the amount of time spent, it is enough to tell that this novella is the painstaking work of her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin!

This is a masterpiece that I have worked so hard on!
The manuscripts I wrote casually before can become pioneering works like "The Horse Shepherd" and "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office", so what about the works that took more than a month of hard work?
I won’t give in anymore! I won’t give in anymore!

Thinking of this, Liu Xinwu said to Feng's mother again in a sullen tone, "Let's do this, Teacher Gu! Let's give this manuscript to Lao Zhang, and we'll still follow the original plan and read Xuemin's novella. What do you think?"

"Xuemin wants us to publish this first!" Feng's mother didn't make things difficult for Liu Xinwu. She paraphrased Cheng Xuemin's original words and said, "It's ok to give it to People's Literature. We can publish the novella as planned!"

It doesn't matter who publishes it, but Feng's mother cannot guarantee that her son-in-law will dare to publish the manuscript that he rushed out overnight and gave it to Zhang Guangnian of People's Literature!

If Lao Zhang doesn't dare to come forward, the United Front will be missing the most influential Lao Zhang!
If Lao Zhang were asked to write that novella, he would definitely succeed!

The nature of the two manuscripts is completely different.

"Forget it!"

"Let's give Lao Zhang the advantage this time! We'll do it next time!"

"Teacher Gu, you have to keep a closer eye on Xuemin next time. Don't miss any more manuscripts!"

"Look, Mr. Ba came to my house in person to ask for an article, and I didn't even know about it!"

Liu Xinwu saw through Teacher Gu's difficulties and knew what they were worried about. He immediately stopped feeling distressed. He thought that once a decision was made, it was still possible to change one's mind and regret it!

However, we still need to ask Teacher Gu to keep a close eye on her son-in-law. They live under the same roof, so how could he leak manuscripts so frequently?

Or was it that he, as the editor-in-chief, did not visit in person and was not sincere enough?

Immediately, Liu Xinwu added, "Maybe I was rude! After this issue is over, I will personally visit you and Xuemin to wish you a happy new year, and by the way, I will arrange a manuscript for the next issue!"

After they finish this issue of "October", the next issue may be published two months later, so there is plenty of time.

"No, no, no! Old Liu, please don't talk bad about us like that!" Feng's mother shook her head repeatedly and said, "If you want to wish us a happy new year, Xuemin and I will go to wish you a happy new year later!"

"Really, thank you!"

When Teacher Gu was moved, he choked up and spoke hoarsely.

Liu Xinwu directly approved the manuscript of her son-in-law, which was a huge favor!
"Hey! Teacher Gu, please don't say that! Li Qingquan said that Yenching Literature is Xuemin's mother's home, and we are Xuemin's mother-in-law!"

"Li Qingquan supported Xuemin without hesitation, so how can we, as his mother-in-law, fall behind?"

There was some more polite talk afterwards, and Feng's mother came out wiping away her tears, which made Lao Wang and others in the editorial department look at each other in bewilderment.

"Xiao Yang, don't review this novella for now. I'll take it away after get off work!"

After it came out, Feng's mother directly told the editor Xiao Yang not to review the novella anymore and just give preliminary review opinions!
I'll take it away after get off work and ask Xuemin to hand it over to Lao Zhang from People's Literature as soon as possible.

"No trial?!"

"Ke Xuemin's new manuscript is so well written!"

"Teacher Gu, is your son-in-law writing about you?"

Editor Xiao Yang was still immersed in "Parents' Love", but suddenly heard Feng's mother talking. He looked up at Feng's mother blankly and asked in surprise.

"Don't review it anymore. Lao Liu has given it to People's Literature!"

When the editor-in-chief Xiao Yang heard this, she could tell at a glance that her son-in-law was writing about her. Hearing this, Feng's mother blushed again and quickly stepped forward to snatch the manuscript away and refused to show it to her anymore!

"Ah!? Give it to People's Literature again?" Xiao Yang asked in surprise.

"What Teacher Gu! The novella that your son-in-law promised to give us, Lao Liu said he gave it to People's Literature. What's going on?"

The editor-in-chief, Lao Wang, was also very nervous. He quickly came over and asked, "How is the manuscript? I haven't even read it yet!"

"Yes! Teacher Gu, why do you want to give it to People's Literature again? Why do all the good manuscripts have to be given to them first?"

Cao Aiqun was also indignant after hearing this, and when she heard Xiao Yang say that Teacher Gu's son-in-law was writing about Teacher Gu, she immediately became interested and hurried over to see it first.

If I had known that it was her son-in-law who wrote the article about his mother-in-law, I should have read it with Xiao Yang when he reviewed it just now.

"Forget it, forget it. Wait until People's Literature publishes it, then you can read it!"

"I have to go back first!"

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Feng's mother quickly took the opportunity to find an excuse and leave.

Lao Wang, Cao Aiqin and others were very disappointed when they saw this, and this time Lao Zhang's "People's Literature" benefited from it again.

"Xiao Yang, what is this novella about? How can you say that Teacher Gu's son-in-law is writing about his mother-in-law?"

When Cao Aiqun saw Feng's mother running away with the manuscript, she was not willing to give up and asked Xiao Yang, the only person who had read the manuscript.

"Teacher Cao, I only read the first 10,000 words, and I don't really understand what's written later!"

"But the title of the manuscript is 'Parental Love', I guessed it!"

Xiao Yang didn’t actually read much, just the beginning and the title.

But just based on the title and the beginning, Xiao Yang made a casual guess.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Gu blushed on the spot, snatched the manuscript away, and not only refused to review it, but also gave it to People's Literature.

"Parental love?!"

"Oh my God! Could it be that Teacher Gu's son-in-law is writing about the things between Teacher Gu and Old Feng?"

When Cao Aiqin heard the title, she immediately started to eat the melon and said, "Thinking back to when Teacher Gu and Old Feng were at Yanda, they were really a perfect match. There's really something to write about!"

"But what I never expected was that it would be Teacher Gu's son-in-law who would write about them!" Upon hearing this, the editorial team leader Lao Wang's eyes rolled up involuntarily and he exclaimed, "No way?"

"What golden boy and jade girl? Never expected? Old Wang, Teacher Cao, Xiao Yang, what are you talking about?"

At this time Li Qingquan came out with a manuscript. Hearing Cao Aiqun and the others talking in surprise, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Old Liu, did you give the 'Parental Love' about Teacher Gu's son-in-law to People's Literature?"

When Lao Wang saw Liu Xinwu coming out, he asked quickly.

"What is parental love?" Liu Xinwu didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion.

"It's the novella her son-in-law wanted to give us! It's called 'Parental Love', and it was just taken back by Teacher Gu!"

Lao Wang was so anxious that he stamped his feet. Lao Liu didn't even look at it and just gave up the novella "Parental Love". How generous was he?
"This novella of Xuemin is called 'Parental Love'?"

Liu Xinwu also reacted and was also very curious. He asked, "Who are they writing about? Xuemin's parents? Like the previous article "Loess Plateau" in "Yanhe Literature", is it a manuscript that represents the local area?"

Since the story is about parental love, the first person Liu Xinwu thought of was Cheng Xuemin’s own parents, in northern Shaanxi!
Liu Xinwu had visited northern Shaanxi before and had deep feelings for the area, and he knew there was a lot to write about.

Therefore, Cheng Xuemin did have a purpose when he wrote about his own parents to reflect the customs and culture of northern Shaanxi.

“We didn’t watch it either!”

"Xiao Yang said that it should be about the love between Teacher Gu and Lao Feng!"

Lao Wang spread his hands, shook his head and then said the finishing move.

"Fuck! Who!?"

"Xuemin wrote about Teacher Gu and Lao Feng?"

"Where's the manuscript? Where's the manuscript? Let me have a look first! Let me have a look first!"

Liu Xinwu was dumbfounded for a moment. Wasn’t the son-in-law Cheng Xuemin writing about his own parents or the customs and habits of northern Shaanxi?
It turned out to be about the things between his mother-in-law and father-in-law?
Liu Xinwu was so anxious that he immediately asked for the original manuscript to read. He, Liu Xinwu, had to see this melon first.

"Mr. Gu took it away! Old Liu, you said it yourself, give it to People's Literature!"

"So, Lao Liu, you didn't even look at it yourself, but you just generously gave it to others?"

Seeing Liu Xinwu's big reaction, Lao Wang, Cao Aiqin, Xiao Yang and the others were speechless on the spot. What kind of person is he!
You are short of manuscripts, but you are standing here without even looking at them. You are pretending to be poor but generous!
……

Feng's mother didn't know that after she left, all her colleagues in the October editorial department were secretly eating her big melon.

It tells about the experience she and her lover Feng's father had when they were studying at Yan University in their early years.

At that time, Yan University had just moved back to Yanjing, and there were indeed too many things for her son-in-law to write.

"Are you starving?! I'll cook for you right away!"

When Feng's mother returned home, she saw the debt collector couple writing something at the desk through the window in the yard. She greeted them and said.

"Mom, you're back!"

Feng Jiayou raised her head and greeted her mother. Her mother went straight into the kitchen without saying a word.

Then she turned her head and said to the man beside her: "Xuemin, guess how my mother felt after reading the book "Parental Love" you wrote?"

"Do you think your mother-in-law is hiding in the kitchen without saying a word? Is she shy?"

The young master of the Feng family is fighting against Tian Gang. It’s already this time and she is still making fun of her mother.

"You shouldn't have given me that novella since you gave me the manuscript today!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Xuemin secretly blamed the woman.

He rushed out a manuscript overnight and asked his mother-in-law to take it to October to have a look first. If they dared to publish it, then the publication of "Parents' Love" could be delayed a little longer!
But who would have thought that this woman would be so good that she would just take it out without any warning today!
it's good now!

Her mother didn't look at her much just now, which made Cheng Xuemin feel a little embarrassed to face people.

"So it's my fault?"

Feng Jiayoumei rolled her eyes and pouted angrily.

"No, no! Wife, I don't blame you, I don't blame you!" Cheng Xuemin waved his hands quickly, pointed at her mother's bag, and said, "The manuscript may have been sent back! Look at your mother's bag, isn't it bulging?"

"Did you fight back?!"

Feng Jiayou also looked over and found that the bag her mother hung on the front of the bicycle was indeed bulging!
Apparently it contained the long novella given to her today, with over 200,000 words, a whole stack of it!
"Would my mother be too shy to publish a post about her son-in-law?"

"No, I'll go ask!"

Unable to sit still, Feng Jiayou quickly stood up and moved towards her mother in the kitchen. Soon, whispers between mother and daughter could be heard in the kitchen.

Because their side room was far from the kitchen, Cheng Xuemin couldn't hear anything at all.

He only saw Feng Jiayou in the kitchen, pointing at him from time to time, which made Cheng Xuemin quickly lower his head and pretend to write quickly.

"Xuemin, I have already hired a mason. He will haul the sand and gravel in tomorrow!"

"As for the cement issue, I have also asked a few companies, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

Brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao came back and shouted to Cheng Xuemin when he passed by the window.

"Okay, okay, thank you, big brother! This is the money for the mason and the sand, gravel and cement. Take it first, big brother. If it's not enough, come back and tell me!"

After hearing this, Cheng Xuemin hurried out and gave the two hundred yuan in cash that he had agreed with Feng Jiayou today to his elder brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao.

Although Cheng Xuemin will not be returning to northern Shaanxi before the New Year, he cannot leave as he has Feng Jiayou, a baby girl who is about to give birth!
Therefore, my eldest brother-in-law still needs to help supervise the decoration of the yard at Yanda.

Usually, the wages for the craftsmen and the money for buying materials must be given to my brother-in-law first, because I know he is short of money.

"No! Xuemin, what are you doing? This person is not an outsider. Why are you telling me these empty formalities?"

"Take it back, take it back!"

Seeing that his brother-in-law directly stuffed a stack of big unity notes, at least twenty of them, brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao waved his hands repeatedly and refused to take them.

"Brother, you need money to buy materials and other miscellaneous things!"

"Take it, take it! I can't let you pay for the renovations while Jiayou and I are doing it!"

Cheng Xuemin insisted on giving it to him, but his brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao, for the first time ever, refused to accept it. Has he changed his personality?

"Alright, alright! Xuemin, I'm going to tell you the truth! Mom has already given me three hundred dollars to renovate the house, so don't give me any more money!"

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Feng Jiazhao had to tell the truth!
The reason he was asked to pay for the renovation was not because he was reluctant, but because he did not have the financial means to do so. His mother had known about his status as a son for a long time, so she gave him 300 yuan a long time ago and asked him to help watch over the decoration and do a good job.

If it’s not enough, ask her mother for more.

So it’s not a good idea to accept money from my brother-in-law now, so I might as well just speak the truth!

"Ah!? Mom already gave it to me!?"

Cheng Xuemin was also surprised. He glanced towards the kitchen and whispered to his brother-in-law, "What mom gave me should only be enough for routine repairs. I need some extra materials for my bathroom!"

"How about this, big brother, you keep the money first, and return it to me later, okay?"

"This... that's fine too!"

Brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao thought of the independent bathroom, nodded, and then secretly took the money!
"By the way, Xuemin, Lao Liu said that you should give your novella to Lao Zhang from People's Literature!"

At the dinner table, Feng's mother brought up the matter of the novella.

"Why did you give it to Lao Zhang again?!" Before Cheng Xuemin could be surprised, Feng's father asked first in confusion.

"For a united front!"

“This time we have made appointments with Li Xiaolin from October and Harvest, and Lao Li from Yenching Literature!”

"With this novella of People's Literature, we will work together as a united front..."

"Xueqing, you are kidding!"

But before Feng's mother could finish her words, she heard Feng's father, who looked horrified, and slammed the table on the spot.

In an instant, Cheng Xuemin, Feng Jiaxiao and Feng Jiazhao, who were sitting at the dinner table, were frightened...

The whole family was shocked, looking at Feng's father's sudden outburst with extremely horrified expressions!
