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

Chapter 139 Father-in-law should try harder to have a fifth child (please order the whole thing)
Mother Feng was a little confused and was really frightened by her lover's action!

I raised my head and stared at Father Feng in a daze. The computer actually went down for a moment. I was so stupid!

The same goes for the rest of the family!
She had never seen her father scold her mother so fiercely as he did today.

Not to mention Cheng Xuemin!

Isn't it said that my father-in-law is a well-known henpecked husband in the circle? He listens to his mother-in-law in everything and has never disobeyed her.

But today, what happened?
and also!

What is this united front that my mother-in-law is talking about? Today she contacted Li Xiaolin of Harvest and Li Qingquan of Yenching Literature.

I also have to give up the novella "Parental Love", which I have been looking forward to for more than a month, to "People's Literature". This is totally inconsistent with my mother-in-law's usual style.

"Old Feng, you said I was fooling around?"

After being dumbfounded by the computer outage, Feng's mother questioned her husband with an extremely ugly face, asking why he embarrassed her so much in front of the child?

Nonsense?!
Is Gu Xueqing fooling around? Her man actually said she was fooling around in front of such a big issue!

"If you're not kidding, what are you?"

"What does it mean to connect with Yenching Literature, Harvest, and People's Literature to work together as a united front?"

"Do you know what this is?"

"Want to fight?"

"Want to challenge the Tianjin side? Want to fight them to the end?"

Father Feng also realized that he had indeed lost his composure just now, but he was really scared when he heard his wife say this!
After asking several questions in a row, and before Feng's mother could explain, Feng's father said, "Teacher Gu, you are not helping Xuemin! You are putting Xuemin on the fire!"

"Mr. Wu is waiting for the attitude from above, why are you so impatient? What on earth do you want to form a united front for?"

Feng's father almost asked outright with rude words, are you trying to "force the emperor to abdicate"?

"Yes, yes, yes, Old Feng, you are right! Old Feng, everything you said is right!" After hearing what Feng's father said, Feng's mother smiled miserably with a very gloomy face and nodded repeatedly.

But he changed the subject again and directly questioned Father Feng, "But Feng Jingren, I just can't figure it out! How could I roast your son-in-law on the fire?!"

"Feng Jingren, let me ask you this! How did I, Gu Xueqing, push your son-in-law into the fire pit?"

Mother Feng also exploded, scaring the younger and younger brothers and sisters of the Feng family into being so shocked and trembling with fear that they dared not even breathe.

"mom……"

When he was mentioned, seeing that a quarrel was about to break out over him, no matter how shocked and horrified Cheng Xuemin was, he had to stand up and express his opinion, and try to stop the fight!

"Xuemin, don't talk!"

Mother Feng pushed Cheng Xuemin aside and angrily questioned Father Feng: "Feng Jingren, if you tell me clearly today, how can I burn your son-in-law on the grill?"

"Aren't you going to join forces with Lao Li and the others to submit some counter-articles to Xuemin?"

"At such a sensitive time, you contacted them and published offensive articles. Isn't that just trying to put Scholarism on the spot?"

In the face of major issues, Feng's father would not indulge his woman. He could not lose his mind just because she was angry, and join forces with Li Qingquan, Zhang Guangnian, Li Xiaolin and others to post some articles to support his son-in-law and attack the other party.

This is not support and solidarity, this is creating trouble and harming the students. Isn't this just putting their sons-in-law on the fire?
"Yes, yes, yes, Lao Feng, you are absolutely right! We are going to give your son-in-law some offensive articles!"

After hearing what her husband said, Feng's mother was so angry that she laughed out loud, and nodded repeatedly in a sarcastic tone, saying "yes, yes, yes".

Then he questioned Feng's father, saying, "Feng Jingren, I want to ask you, have you read the novella that Xuemin gave to Yenching Literature?"

"Is that novella offensive?"

"Feng Jingren, let me ask you again, have you read the manuscript that Xuemin gave to Ba Lao Li Xiaolin's Harvest? Do you think the manuscript was offensive?"

"Oh, yes! There is also this novella. Xuemin was originally going to give it to us in October, but Lao Liu and I both felt that it might have a greater impact if it was published in People's Literature!"

"So please Feng Jingren, take a good look at your son-in-law's article and see if it is offensive!"

"Look carefully, parental love! It's written for you, Feng Jingren!"

Feng's mother directly threw the novella "Parental Love" at Feng's father. After she finished speaking in one breath, she turned around, wiped her tears and hid back in her room!
boom!
Immediately afterwards, the door was slammed shut, and soon there was the sound of the zipper being bolted and locked.

"This……"

Father Feng was dumbfounded on the spot. Doesn't this mean that they are going to publish offensive articles for his son-in-law and build up the momentum of the united front?
"Dad! Although you are doing this for Xuemin's own good, you didn't even wait for Mom to finish her words before yelling at her. You were wrong!"

"My mother didn't say that she would join forces with Yenching Literature to submit offensive articles to Xuemin!"

Feng Jiayou didn't expect that his usually gentle and elegant father would have such a violent side. Today was really an eye-opener for him.

"Then what is your mother talking about joining forces with Lao Li and the others to form a united front?"

Father Feng also began to feel unsure. Could it be that he really had wrongly blamed the woman?

"My mom told me when she was cooking just now!"

Feng Jiayou looked at her father with great sympathy, and said, "You'll be on the scrubber tonight." He didn't even let her mother finish her words, and just yelled at her. Yes!
Dad is really thinking about her man. He doesn't want her man to be in the spotlight and add fuel to the fire.

But her mother really didn’t!
Then she told her father what her mother had said to her in the kitchen:

"Didn't Xuemin just give Ba Lao's Harvest a manuscript about reform and opening up? Yenching Literature also has a novella by Xuemin. My mother's October has Xuemin writing one overnight. Together with Xuemin's "Parental Love", it's just right for People's Literature..."

"Let's talk about the most important things. Your mother has already said all this!"

Father Feng was completely confused and had no idea what they were doing. How could they form a united front?
Why do I feel like it's all his fault now?
"In a word! My mother called Xiaolin from Harvest today and asked them to change Xuemin's pen name to Lao Qiao!"

"The same thing happened with Yenching Literature. They changed 'Lao Xu' to 'Lao Qiao' and published the novella under the pen name 'Lao Qiao'!"

"I won't mention my mother's October correspondence with People's Literature. She also used the pen name 'Lao Qiao'!"

"The united front my mother talked about is to unify all the pseudonyms of scholars under the pseudonym 'Lao Qiao' and work together!"

"Didn't Tianjin criticize the scholars for not understanding what reform and opening up mean? Didn't they criticize the scholars for fanning the flames? Didn't they criticize the scholars for not being able to write articles at all?"

"Okay! Then let them see whether the scholars can write articles and whether they understand what reform and opening up mean!"

When it came to the angry part, Feng Jiayou's emotions also followed suit. The more he spoke, the louder he became, the more indignant and excited he became.

"Did your mother tell you this?"

Father Feng obeyed with his mouth twitching fiercely. Instead of joining together to write an offensive article, they united under the pen name "Lao Qiao" by Cheng Xuemin.

That's it... Father Feng was very anxious, but he still said stubbornly, "You can't be too high-profile, right?"

Of course, Feng's father had read Cheng Xuemin's manuscripts, and they were definitely not offensive.

But isn't it too high-profile to let Shanghai's "Harvest", "Yenching Literature", "People's Literature" and "October" all publish "Lao Qiao's" manuscripts at once?

"Dad! Can you not be so high-profile? People are almost knocking your son-in-law down!"

Is this still high-profile?

If Feng Jiayou didn't feel that her husband had not written enough articles recently, she would have been eager to write a few more and include Shanghai literature and art and Yanhe literature as well.

Just give him a voice from all corners of the country, and support her man from all sides.

Now Cheng Xuemin suddenly understood that the united front his mother-in-law mentioned was to unify his several pen names and use "Lao Qiao" as the central name.
Not to mention, if the two top magazines in the north and south, People's Literature and Harvest, work in such a coordinated manner, the momentum will indeed be rising. Cheng Xuemin could not even predict what kind of sensation it will cause.

But then again, haven’t the manuscripts for Harvest already been finalized for publication?

The sample issues and the payment slips had already been mailed to him long ago, and Harvest was already printing and binding, waiting to be put on the shelves for publication at the end of the month.

So, was it too late for the mother-in-law to call Harvest?
"What are you doing?"

Seeing that Feng Jiayou had finished speaking and picked up the manuscript that Feng's mother had just thrown at him, Feng's father stopped him and asked.

"Let Xuemin deliver People's Literature tomorrow!"

"I haven't seen it yet!"

Mr. Feng immediately protected the manuscript. Xue Min had been teasing him about this manuscript before, and now that it was finally handed in, wouldn't he take a look at it first?
"Dad, you should first think about how to comfort my mom at night!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Dad, you should go and apologize to Mom!" The eldest brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao also nodded repeatedly and said, "I've never seen you lose your temper before, what's wrong with you today?"

"Dad, you'll be kneeling on the washboard tonight!" Feng Jiamo, the little girl with a leaky cotton jacket, glared at her father. Seeing her sister put the manuscript away, she quickly stopped her and said, "Sister, let me see it, let me see it! Parental love? Is this about dad and mom?"

"Then there's me, there's me! Let me see, let me see first!"

At this point, not to mention the last member of the Feng family, even the eldest and second sisters-in-law were all shocked. They also wanted to see what their aunt, Feng Jiayou, had written about their parents-in-law.

And they want to publish it in "People's Literature". Doesn't that mean that the love between the in-laws is made public?
and also!

Is there any content about them being sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law in this manuscript? How does Cheng Xuemin, the brother-in-law, describe them as brothers and sisters-in-law?
"Stop it! Let's talk about it later. What's so good about this manuscript?! Let's see it after it's published!"

Feng Jiayou simply put the manuscript away and refused to show it to anyone.

Father Feng walked out of the door without saying a word. He really had to think carefully about how to coax his wife tonight!

Although he still feels that uniting and using a unified pen name is a bit too high-profile, his son-in-law is in this situation now, and it is really impossible not to be high-profile.

"Alright?!"

After the dinner ended in an unpleasant atmosphere, Cheng Xuemin caught up with Feng's father and had a chat with him.

Then they started talking about the novella "Parental Love", and Cheng Xuemin could only honestly tell his father-in-law the general content.

The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted until very late. When Cheng Xuemin came back, he happened to see Feng Jiayou coming out of her mother's room and couldn't help but ask a question.

"My dad will have to help again tonight!" Feng Jiayou said to Cheng Xuemin with a wry smile.

Correct!
My father-in-law really tried hard to have a fifth child in the evening, no problem!
