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

Chapter 238: Qian Lao's shock: Does your mother-in-law know? (Please subscribe)
"Xuemin, this way!"

On the award-winning stage, after Cheng Xuemin finished bowing continuously, he was originally the last one to go on stage and had to stand at the very edge!

But the host Li Shuguang came forward and greeted him, wanting to lead Cheng Xuemin to the middle!
Because although Liu Xinwu was the first one to be called, and Wang Meng was the absolute C position in the audience ranking, neither of them stood in the center of the podium, leaving a vacant position, and they pushed and shoved each other.

Knowing that this is to give way to the absolute protagonist of this awards ceremony, the pioneer Cheng Xuemin.

Therefore, the host Li Shuguang hurriedly led Cheng Xuemin over, as the judges on the rostrum were about to come over.

"No, no! Teacher Li, Teacher Li, I'm fine standing over here!"

Seeing that he was about to be led to the center, Cheng Xuemin waved his hands to refuse. The C position to receive the award belonged to Liu Xinwu and Wang Meng, and he would not go over to join in the fun.

"Xuemin, just go over there!"

"If you don't stand there, neither me nor Lao Wang will feel comfortable standing there!"

Seeing that Cheng Xuemin was also refusing, Liu Xinwu simply rushed over from the middle and pulled Cheng Xuemin over there.

"Yes! Xuemin, don't be polite, there's nothing to give up!"

Wang Meng was also waving to Cheng Xuemin. This middle position should have belonged to Cheng Xuemin, because everyone knows that among the works selected this time, Cheng Xuemin's "The Shepherd" and "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office" have the highest popularity and the most votes from readers' letters.

If there were first, second and third prizes, Cheng Xuemin would be able to win at least two of the three first prizes.

So, if he doesn't stand in the middle position, how can others stand there?

Even the two well-known veteran writers Wang Meng and Liu Xinwu felt a little embarrassed to stand there.

Being seated in the middle of the stage is already a sign of seniority, but now that he is on stage he should have some dignity.

"That's right, why are you being so polite to everyone?"

Li Shuguang also held Cheng Xuemin's arms repeatedly, and together with Liu Xinwu, they tried to force him over!
"Okay, okay, okay! Teacher Liu, Teacher Li, I'm welcome. I'll go by myself!"

Seeing that he could not refuse, and could not really be dragged to the middle position by Liu Xinwu and Li Shuguang, Cheng Xuemin quickly agreed to let them let go first and he would go over.

There was a small incident on the stage, and warm applause broke out again from the audience. The judges on the podium all stood up and began to present certificates and souvenirs to them.

There is no first, second or third prize in the awards, and there is no priority order in the roll call, but there is a sequence for the official awards.

The first person to come on stage was the chairman of the jury, Mr. Wu. He came up with a certificate and souvenirs in his hand. He first looked around on the right side. Soon, his face was startled. He looked at Li Shuguang and asked in confusion, "I think I saw Xiao Cheng standing here just now?"

"Uh!?"

Only then did Li Shuguang realize that Mr. Wu was going to give the award to Cheng Xuemin and was looking for that kid Cheng Xuemin!

At first, Cheng Xuemin was standing on the right side, caught between him and Liu Xin. It seemed that Mr. Wu, who was on the rostrum, had already noticed Cheng Xuemin and locked onto his position.

He originally came on stage to present the award to him directly, but when the judges on the podium stood up and walked over here, Cheng Xuemin's position had already changed!

Immediately, Li Shuguang hurried forward and explained in a low voice: "Mr. Wu, I asked Xuemin to stand in the middle!"

"Ohhh! That's the middle of the station!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu was speechless, then nodded repeatedly, took the certificate and souvenir, walked to the middle and saw where Cheng Xuemin was standing.

"Xiao Cheng, I just got up and blinked an eye and you came here!"

After seeing Cheng Xuemin, Mr. Wu joked with him cordially and continued, "Not bad, keep up the good work and strive to write more, better and more influential articles for our cultural outlets!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wu. Thank you, Mr. Wu. I...I will continue to work hard!"

Cheng Xuemin was flattered. He originally wanted to explain why he was placed in the middle, but when the words came to his lips, he thought better of it. He nodded repeatedly, shook hands with Mr. Wu, and said.

Then he received the certificate and souvenir from Mr. Wu!

After Mr. Wu shook hands with Cheng Xuemin, he nodded and walked away in one direction!
Cheng Xuemin glanced at the contents of the certificate. It was the award certificate for "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office".

After Mr. Wu presented the award to Cheng Xuemin, who was the absolute center of attention, the other judges presented awards to the winning writers on the podium one by one.

Instead, all the judges held certificates and souvenirs in their hands. Led by three deputy directors, Mr. Mao, Mr. Ba and Ms. Ding Ling, they all walked to the award podium and collectively presented awards to the winning writers.

"Xuemin, congratulations!" Teacher Ding Ling said as he presented the award to Cheng Xuemin again, holding the award certificate and souvenirs for "The Shepherd".

Here, Ding Ling presents Cheng Xuemin with the award certificate and souvenir for "The Shepherd", which is actually quite profound, because Ding Ling has been living in seclusion in the city for several months and has no contact with the outside world.

The first review article I wrote for the first time was to support Cheng Xuemin's "The Horse Shepherd", so the person who should present the award to Cheng Xuemin's "The Horse Shepherd" today must be Teacher Ding Ling.

Even Mr. Qian, who helped make "The Horse Herder" the first reflective literature, has to stand back.

"Thank you! Thank you Teacher Ding Ling!" Cheng Xuemin once again took the certificate and souvenir and shook hands with Ding Ling to express his gratitude.

"I heard that this time, Xuemin, you won more than just these two articles. Let's leave it at that for now. Come to my place and we'll talk later!"

"Okay, okay, thank you Teacher Ding Ling. If you have time, I will definitely visit you then!"

Ding Ling nodded and said nothing more. After presenting the awards, he followed the main group and walked back to the rostrum.

"Thank you! Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Next came an old acquaintance, Zhang Guangnian, the editor-in-chief of People's Literature, who waited behind Ding Ling to present the award to Cheng Xuemin.

The award certificate and souvenirs for "The Deepest Love in the Grass" were awarded this time.

"Hey, Xuemin, seeing Lao Qian and the others are dumbfounded, are you looking for the loess plateau like a headless fly?"

"We didn't tell him!"

After Zhang Guangnian shook hands with Cheng Xuemin, he looked at the judges on the stage and grinned at Qian Laozhi with a sly smile on his face.

"Uh?!"

This made Cheng Xuemin laugh and cry, and he didn't know how to say good things about Zhang Guangnian.

"Who is Comrade Huangtu Gaopo? Excuse me, who is Comrade Huangtu Gaopo?"

"Didn't Comrade Huangtu Gaopo come?" "Comrade Kuang Yalan? Didn't Comrade Kuang Yalan come either?"

"And Comrade Lao Tian, ​​who wrote The Traitor, isn't here either?"

After Zhang Guangnian left, there were basically four people left on the award podium. In addition to the winner Cheng Xuemin, there were also Mr. Qian and two other award judges.

They were all dumbfounded and asked whether Huangtu Gaopo, Kuang Yalan and Lao Tian had come! ?
The participants in the audience looked at each other in silence!

When the names were called just now, I didn't see the three of them come on stage, so they must have been absent. How come the judges on the rostrum still gave them certificates and souvenirs? ?
Aren’t the certificates and souvenirs mailed directly to the winning writers?
Moreover, before the meeting, the award-winning writers all went to the Humanities Publishing House Preparatory Committee to sign in. They knew clearly who came and who did not. So why did they let the judges go on stage to present awards to the absent comrades?
"Old Qian, Old Gao, Teacher Ru, give it to him, give it to him, just give it all to him!"

Upon seeing this, the host Li Shuguang quickly told Mr. Qian and the others to give all the certificates to Cheng Xuemin.

"Ah?! Is it a proxy?"

Ru Zhijuan, an old writer called "Teacher Ru" by Li Shuguang, asked in confusion, because the certificate in her hand was to be awarded to Kuang Yalan, the author of "Female College Students' Dormitory", a lesbian.

"Li Shuguang, don't tell me that "Loess Plateau" was also written by this guy, right?" Mr. Qian was an old acquaintance, he asked more directly in surprise!

There is no question of receiving the award on behalf of someone else or not. The award-winning authors who were not absent have already signed in and registered with Li Shuguang, so there is no such thing as receiving the award on behalf of someone else!
Since the judges were asked to come up with their certificates, the winning author must be on the podium.

But now!

The only person left on the award podium was the son-in-law of the old Feng family, and Li Shuguang asked them to give all the certificates to this kid. Was there anything else he could say?

These must be this guy's award-winning works.

"Ah?! Then the 'Traitor' in my hand was also written by you, Xuemin?" The judge Gao Xiaowei next to him heard what Lao Qian said, and reacted instantly, and asked with a look of surprise on his face.

"No way!? Kuang Yalan is a lesbian!"

Ru Zhijuan did the same, looking at Li Shuguang and Cheng Xuemin in disbelief, thinking that Kuang Yalan's name made it clear that the author was a female!

Moreover, his work "Female College Students' Dormitory" is also about female college students. Could it be written by the young male author Cheng Xuemin?

"Yes, yes, all the award-winning works I'll call out later were written by Xuemin!"

"Xuemin is the author who won the award, not someone else!"

Li Shuguang nodded repeatedly, indicating that there was nothing wrong with giving all the certificates and souvenirs to Cheng Xuemin!
"What? Really?!"

Although Mr. Qian had already thought of this possibility, when he heard Li Shuguang's confirmation, it was a different matter!
I was so shocked that I almost burst into swearing on the spot!
Are you kidding me? !

The certificates in the hands of the three of them all belong to this kid Cheng Xuemin? !

Moreover, Li Shuguang also said that the award-winning works he named later were all written by the son-in-law of the old Feng family?

Oh shit!

Living in the yard in front and behind this kid, how come Old Qian didn’t know about this kid and wrote so many award-winning articles without saying a word?

How many articles are there?!
The three articles they have now, plus the ones previously awarded by Mr. Wu Dingling and Zhang Guangnian, doesn’t that make a total of six award-winning articles?

At an award ceremony, if one person can have one paper win an award, it is already a great honor and should be celebrated!

But when it came to the Feng family’s turn, six articles were published directly!
Oh my goodness, what's going on in the Feng family's ancestral graves, that they could have such a great son-in-law?
"That's incredible!"

Just when Mr. Qian was exclaiming "Oh my god", Gao Xiaosheng, who was also shocked, had already awarded the certificate to Cheng Xuemin and kept praising him.

I really didn’t expect that the first national outstanding short story selection would have such a grand event. It’s amazing!
"Thank you! Thank you Teacher Gao!" Cheng Xuemin was of course numb, and could not say anything else except to express his gratitude.

"You are still the pioneer? I thought Kuang Yalan was awarding it to lesbians!" Ru Zhijuan also presented the award to Cheng Xuemin with a smile, and she was also extremely surprised.

"Well... Teacher Ru, everyone said this at the beginning!"

"Thank you! Thank you Teacher Ru!"

Cheng Xuemin smiled along with Ru Zhijuan, and after receiving the certificate from Teacher Ru, he expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

In this way, Cheng Xuemin now has five certificates and souvenirs in his hands!
It’s almost too much to take!

Finally, it was the turn of the confused Mr. Qian to present the award to Cheng Xuemin!
The gossip on the podium had also been heard by the participants who were sitting nearby, and the audience was shocked and horrified.

Are you kidding me?
The Loess Plateau, Female College Students’ Dormitory and The Traitor, whose names were called just now but who did not go up to receive the awards, were not written by the author, but... were they all written by Cheng Xuemin?
So, the host Li Shuguang's continuous roll call just now was not interrupted by other award-winning writers, but was originally all the names of the reform and opening-up pioneer Cheng Xuemin?
Was Loess Plateau written by Cheng Xuemin, a pioneer in reform and opening up?
Was it also he who wrote the Female College Student Dormitory?
Even the article "The Traitor" published in "Harvest" was written by Cheng Xuemin?

Oh my god, wow!

He alone has six articles winning awards this time?

"Written by Xuemin?"

"Doesn't that mean that Xuemin has six articles winning awards this time?"

At Yanhe Literature's side, Lu Yao and Lao Hu, who were unaware of the situation, were also surprised when they heard the commotion in front.

When Lu Yao found out that all the winning works named later were written by Cheng Xuemin, she was shocked and exclaimed on the spot.

Hu Cai next to him was also confused. He didn't know how to react except to applaud to express his extreme shock at the moment!
Immediately following Hu Cai's lead in applauding, there was another thunderous applause from the audience. The news that came down from the award-winning podium was truly too unbelievable and incredible!
Cheng Xuemin, a pioneer of reform and opening up, won six certificates in one go. Six of his works won awards, not just the three that were reported at the beginning!
"You kid... you're really hiding deep down!"

Mr. Qian was the last one on the stage to present the award to Cheng Xuemin, and he really didn't know what to say about this kid.

Is this still the young man from the old Feng family who came with the peasant son-in-law?

The young are to be feared! The young are to be feared!

Then, Mr. Qian asked again, "Does your mother-in-law, Teacher Gu, know about this? Does Old Feng know about it?"

"Don't tell me, your mother-in-law and father-in-law don't know!"

Really, if even Lao Feng and his wife don’t know about this, then this would be really interesting.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
