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

Chapter 231 Teacher Gu, you have kept it a secret from us.
"Two thousand four hundred and eighty, isn't it?"

When Feng Jiayou was a teenager, her two dimples were so pretty when she smiled. Now that she has become a mother, she is so damn sexy, and her charm is even more alluring.

At this moment, Cheng Xuemin was intoxicated by his wife's smile.

If it weren't for the second sister-in-law and the elder sister in the main room looking over here, Cheng Xuemin would have wanted to stab her on the spot and have a verbal fight with her first.

"Xuemin is asking you a question. Is it 2,480? What are you daydreaming about?"

Seeing her husband suddenly lose consciousness, Feng Jiayou, who was waiting to count the money, had not reacted yet. She was coveting the royalties receipt in her man's bag, but she didn't know that her man was more coveting her.

But after all, they are all experienced people. How could Feng Jiayou not know what kind of person her man is?

Feng Jiayou reacted quickly and gave Cheng Xuemin a flattering look: "Are you going to die? My sister and sister-in-law are all in the room!"

"Besides, your son is watching!"

The young cat of the Feng family glanced at his son who was sleeping in the bamboo bed next to him. He didn't know when his son woke up.

Maybe it’s because they are connected as father and son!
Whenever Cheng Xuemin, the father, comes over, the kid will wake up by chance.

"Wife, you look so beautiful when you smile, you can really charm anyone! Really!"

Cheng Xuemin couldn't help but praise his woman. It was a compliment from the bottom of his heart. His woman was indeed very beautiful and charming when she smiled.

They say that a woman whose smile is enough to conquer a city or a country could be the one referring to his wife, right?

"Not serious!"

Feng Jiayou gave her man another happy look in her heart. Without waiting for Cheng Xuemin to take out his wallet, she directly took the purse and began to search for the royalty receipt inside.

"Don't provoke me, I can't stand your provocation at this time!"

Then he raised his eyes again and warned Cheng Xuemin again.

Although she knew that her man was indeed having a hard time enduring this period, wasn't she the same?
Especially during this period of confinement after childbirth, she really can't stand the slightest provocation.

and so!
Every night, she basically sleeps in a separate bed from Cheng Xuemin. She and her son now sleep on the nanmu bed, while Cheng Xuemin sleeps on the kang.

Every night, the 38th parallel was clearly marked, and Cheng Xuemin would never be allowed to cross the line, unless her son made a fuss at night.

"No, no, wife, I just brought you the royalty receipt." When his intention was seen through, Cheng Xuemin smiled bitterly and went to help Feng Jiayou take the royalty receipt out of her bag.

The royalty receipt was hidden inside a manuscript, and Feng Jiayou couldn't find it for a while.

"Even if I come back to collect my manuscript fee receipt, it won't work!"

Feng Jiayou said something so heartlessly to him again, and Cheng Xuemin's enthusiasm for helping to find the manuscript fee receipt was instantly dampened.

My wife doesn't like this. Didn't we agree before that we would celebrate once we got a payment slip?
Today, Cheng Xuemin finally brought back a royalty bill, and it's for a large amount of money. My dear wife, you can't just deny it just because you're in confinement after giving birth, okay?

Yes, you can’t do anything too crazy during confinement, but can’t I let you move your mouth a little and satisfy your desire to talk?
"What? Two thousand four hundred and seventy-two? I didn't calculate it correctly!" Feng Jiayou pretended to be confused and only talked about the manuscript fee bill and no longer mentioned the celebration.

Seeing that the amount on the manuscript fee slip was eight dollars less than what she had calculated before, she deliberately made a big fuss about it and tried to change the subject.

"The last volume only has 61 pages, so the five volumes add up to 309 pages. If each page is 8 yuan, that's 2,472 yuan, right?"

Cheng Xuemin rolled his eyes, very dissatisfied with his wife's poor performance.

It's just eight dollars less in royalties, is it necessary to make such a fuss about it?
The first nine volumes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms were all formatted with 62 pages per volume, except the last volume which has 61 pages. Isn't it normal that one page is missing?

"Yes, yes, you are right, Xuemin. It is indeed 2,472 yuan. It is very, very impressive!"

"It's been a long time since our family received a payment slip like today!"

Of course, Feng Jiayou only wanted to divert the man's attention, and she was quite satisfied with the payment slip.

"Should we celebrate then?"

Cheng Xuemin took advantage of the situation and brought up the good news again, laughing.

"Hey, sister, are you calling Xuemin?"

"Oh, Xuemin, my sister and my second sister-in-law just now couldn't figure out a problem, and I don't know how to solve it!"

"I'm just waiting for you to come back. Go and help me and the others solve their problems!"

When it came to the celebration, Feng Jiayou directly denied it. He then deliberately remembered something, shouted towards the main hall behind him, and urged Cheng Xuemin to hurry over.

"Okay, then wait until night time as well!"

Cheng Xuemin will not let this woman go. It was supposed to happen at night. Let’s see how he deals with her!
You actually want to take money and not do anything!
At the same time, Liu Xinwu of October had just returned to his own unit from Renwen Press.

"Old Liu, Old Liu, do you know what award Teacher Gu's son-in-law Cheng Xuemin won at the commendation ceremony in the Great Hall yesterday?"

Liu Xinwu had just entered the unit and glanced at the editorial department but didn't see Teacher Gu.

But the other editors present saw Liu Xinwu, and Cao Aiqun rushed up and spoke impatiently.

"What award did you win? I met Xuemin at the Humanities Press today, but he didn't tell me what award you won."

"It should be the group award of their consolation team, right?"

Today at the Humanities Press, Liu Xinwu also asked Cheng Xuemin whether he won any award at the commendation meeting yesterday?
Cheng Xuemin simply replied that he had indeed won the award.

However, the specific award was not specified. Liu Xinwu guessed that it should be similar to what they had discussed before, possibly a group award certificate for the visiting delegation.

of course!

Now Liu Xinwu doesn’t care what award Cheng Xuemin won at the commendation meeting yesterday.

Now he just wanted to tell all his colleagues and close comrades present here how many awards their good son-in-law of October, Cheng Xuemin, had won.

It can be said that the first award ceremony held by their cultural outlet this time was basically held for this guy!
Good guy!
Before we knew it, one person had won six award-winning articles, but none of them was from their "October"!

Liu Xinwu is really upset now and really wants to find Teacher Gu to complain to.

"Lao Liu, what is the group award for the consolation mission?"

"It's the First Class Merit Medal and the First Class Combat Hero Certificate!"

"Teacher Gu brought all the medals and certificates her students had won this morning!"

Cao Aiqin's eyes immediately rolled over. It seems that Old Liu's mental state is not right today!
Today, for the first time ever, I am not very interested in the news about Teacher Gu's son-in-law Cheng Xuemin.

Under normal circumstances, Old Liu would care the most about his son-in-law.

"First-class merit?"

"First-class combat hero?"

"seriously?"

Liu Xinwu, who had originally been uninterested in this and looked discouraged, was instantly stunned by Cao Aiqin's revelation!
Are you kidding? Did he hear that correctly?
At yesterday's commendation meeting, Cheng Xuemin received the first-class medal of merit and the first-class combat hero certificate?

This, this... this is unlikely, right?
Liu Xinwu had served in the military in his early years, and he knew that in order to obtain these two medals in the army, one not only had to make great military achievements, but also might have to sacrifice half of his life.

These two conditions may be indispensable, otherwise you can't get the first-class merit medal. But now Cao Aiqin actually told me that Cheng Xuemin was awarded the first-class merit medal and the first-class combat hero certificate at the commendation meeting yesterday?
How is this possible?! The Cheng Xuemin I saw at Renwenshe today was in good health, not blind or deaf, and didn't look like he had lost half his life.

"Old Liu, it's a first-class merit and a first-class combat hero. Teacher Gu brought the medals and certificates here. How could this be fake?"

The editorial team leader, Lao Wang, also nodded vigorously. They had already seen the medal and certificate, so how could they be fake?

"Really?"

When Liu Xinwu saw Lao Wang stand up and speak with such confidence, he was even more dumbfounded and shocked!

So...what did he do on the front line?
Teacher Gu has kept this secret from me and I, Old Liu, have suffered so much!
"It couldn't be more true. This is the first time I've seen a first-class merit medal. It's so golden and sacred!" Lao Wang nodded and emphasized.

"Yes, Old Liu, you didn't see how happy Teacher Gu was today. I really envy her for having such a good son-in-law. He is both civil and military, so don't be too proud!"

Cao Aiqun had long gotten over the idea of ​​secretly competing with Teacher Gu. Now, apart from envying Teacher Gu for having a good son-in-law, all she could do was envy him!
She also hated her two sons-in-law, who could only screw screws in the factory. She asked them to rewrite the manuscript she wrote using other sentences and words, but they couldn't do it!

Anyway, her relationship with Cao Aiqin is over, so she has to train a son-in-law who is a writer.

And think about the different division of labor in their respective positions. Her son-in-law is good at tying screws. Actually, this can be considered as not having cultural knowledge, but at least he has the strength to tying screws.

At the very least, if you ask Teacher Gu's son-in-law to screw in the screws, he will definitely not be able to beat her two sons-in-law.

But now it’s better!

Teacher Gu's son-in-law directly gave his mother-in-law the highest level of "military power" - the first-class merit and the first-class combat hero.

In an instant, her son-in-law, who was good at screwing screws, was pressed to the ground and crushed.

There is no comparison, no comparison, no comparison!
Cao Aiqin saw through it all. No matter in terms of martial arts or culture, her two sons-in-law could not catch up with Teacher Gu, the son-in-law!
"Teacher Gu? Where is Teacher Gu now?"

Upon hearing that it was really a first-class merit and a first-class combat hero, Liu Xinwu now just wanted Teacher Gu to come. He just wanted to ask Teacher Gu, what was going on between the mother-in-law and son-in-law together, and he, the editor-in-chief, didn't know!
"Teacher Gu...Teacher Gu just...Look, Teacher Gu is here!"

Cao Aiqun turned around and was about to say that Teacher Gu was just here, but when she saw Feng's mother coming in from outside, she reminded her.

"Old Liu, you're back. How's it going? Have you finished preparing for the award ceremony? It's going to start the day after tomorrow. The award-winning authors from various places should be coming over one after another to sign in, right?"

When Feng's mother came in and saw Liu Xinwu who had just returned from the Renwen Society, her eyes lit up and she walked forward to ask with concern.

"Teacher Gu, you have kept it a secret from me!"

Liu Xinwu did not mention any preparatory work first, but directly "accused" Feng's mother of hiding the truth from him.

Anyway, I was so resentful at the Humanities Society today.

"Uh!?"

"Did Lao Liu and Lao Wang tell you?"

Feng's mother also guessed that several other colleagues in the office must have told Lao Liu about the commendation her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin had received while she was away.

Immediately, his face was very bright and he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Besides, the commendation meeting was just held yesterday, and Xuemin was also commended yesterday. We also just found out that he was awarded the First Class Military Medal and the honorary title of First Class Combat Hero!"

"I brought it here early this morning, but Lao Liu, you happened to be at the Humanities Society, so you're not here!"

Liu Xinwu felt more and more miserable as he listened, his face still full of resentment. After listening to Teacher Gu's words, he nodded bitterly and said:

"Xuemin received such a high honorary title in the army. I think there must be something huge behind it that is not convenient to tell us!"

"We definitely understand this, Teacher Gu!"

Liu Xinwu shook his head and continued, "But what I want to say is not about this medal and certificate of honor!"

It’s definitely not about the medals and certificates, but about her son-in-law’s six award-winning articles!

Liu Xinwu just wanted to know, as his mother-in-law, did you, Teacher Gu, know about these six winning manuscripts in advance?

"Eh? Not this? Then what are you referring to, Lao Liu?"

Now it was Feng's mother's turn to be extremely surprised. She thought it was about her family's military merit medals.

But now Lao Liu actually said that this was not the case, so what could it be?

Mother Feng thought about it carefully again and felt that there should be nothing to hide from Old Liu, right?

At least when it comes to work and things related to their October magazine, it seems like everyone is discussing it together. Feng's mother should not have done anything else behind the back of the editor-in-chief, Lao Liu!
Not to mention how painful it was to keep it a secret from him!
Isn’t it about today’s military medal and first-class combat hero?

After hearing this, Lao Wang and Cao Aiqun and the others also became excited. There was actually more melons to eat among the melons. Now there was going to be some fun to watch.

"Teacher Gu, you really don't know? About Xuemin's award this time?"

Seeing Teacher Gu's face full of doubt, Liu Xinwu became undecided again. Could it be that Teacher Gu, as her mother-in-law, really didn't know?
If you really don't know, then it must be that Cheng Xuemin, the good son-in-law, did it secretly behind his mother-in-law's back!
If his mother-in-law really doesn't know about this, should I report Cheng Xuemin's misdeeds in front of his mother-in-law?
This... isn't too good?
Liu Xinwu suddenly realized that maybe Teacher Gu, the mother-in-law, really didn't know.

"Huh? Did Xuemin sign in at the Humanities Society today?"

When Liu Xinwu mentioned the award, Feng's mother immediately realized that it must be her son-in-law who went to sign in today and was bumped into by Old Liu.

So some things can't be hidden after all!

Originally, there were some manuscripts that Feng's mother really didn't want Lao Liu and others to know about. After all, it was her son-in-law who submitted the manuscripts to outside magazines without the family's knowledge.

But who knows!

Her son-in-law's talent is so incredible that the several short stories he wrote years ago all won awards, which is incredible.

Today, her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin went to Renwen Society to sign in and was caught by Lao Liu again!

What else is there to say? Old Liu must know it all now.

"Yeah! I ran into Xuemin at the Humanities Club! He just happened to be there to sign in as well!"

"Teacher Gu, do you know how many awards Xuemin won this time?"

Liu Xinwu nodded bitterly and then asked Feng's mother a question.

"Old Liu, aren't there three?"

"The Wrangler and the Carefree Grass of Yanjing Literature, and the Record of Director Qiao's Inauguration of People's Literature!"

"Originally, we were supposed to submit Director Qiao's inauguration record in October, but it was snatched away by People's Literature!"

Cao Aiqin, who was standing next to her, responded quickly and expressed her strong indignation for their October.

Liu Xinwu ignored Cao Aiqun and continued to look at Feng's mother with a bitter look, hoping to hear her say, "Aren't these just these three?"
This also made Liu Xinwu feel a little better. At least her mother-in-law, Teacher Gu, was unaware of the situation and was kept in the dark.

"Six articles, right?"

"In addition to the three stories about love, there should also be "Loess Plateau" from Yanhe Literature, "Female College Students' Dormitory" from Shanghai Literature and Art, and "The Traitor" from Ba Lao's Harvest!"

"These six articles should have won awards in total. I don't know if there are any other articles written under other pseudonyms!"

Feng's mother replied to Liu Xinwu and the others in a sullen tone. Liu Xinwu was fine when he heard it, but the others were instantly stunned, their eyes full of disbelief.
