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

Chapter 244: Can you stop rolling it up? It's all over my father-in-law's head! (Please order the whole thing)
"The application form to join the Literary Association?!"

"Our editor-in-chief asked me to run over early this morning and deliver the application form for the Literary Association to Xuemin, saying that the Humanities Press is waiting for it!"

In response to Feng's mother's questions, Xiao Cui, the editor-in-chief of People's Literature, told her the truth.

"Application form to join the Cultural Association?"

"Are you still waiting at the Humanities Society?"

"Xiao Cui, did your editor-in-chief Lao Zhang tell you why Renwen Press is waiting for it?"

Scholarism was actually absorbed by the Writers Association?

This was very unexpected news. Feng's mother had originally thought that if her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin wanted to join the Writers Association, he might need some more experience.

After all, it has only been half a year since he started writing, so he is considered an absolute newcomer in the literary world.

However, within the past six months, her son-in-law's creations and achievements have certainly been obvious to all. Yesterday alone, he brought back six of the most valuable award certificates in the cultural circle.

But even so, Feng's mother felt that it was not the right time for her son-in-law to join the Literary Association.

Didn’t Ding Ling’s literary institute invite him to give lectures?
I thought that if I gave a few classes at the Humanities Society and gained some experience, I could then work on getting involved in the Literary Association.

However, what Feng's mother did not expect was that as soon as the award ceremony ended yesterday, Zhang Guangnian, the daily person in charge of the Writers Association, handed over the application form to the Writers Association.

This speed should be stimulated by the invitation of Ding Lingwen Lecture yesterday, right?
but!

Zhang Guangnian of the Literary Association invited his son-in-law to join the Literary Association. What does this have to do with the Humanities Society? How can he join the Literary Association? The Humanities Society is still waiting for him?
What do you want?
Why does the Humanities Society need this application form from the Cultural Association?
"Teacher Gu, I came out in a hurry, but our editor-in-chief Zhang didn't tell me why Renwen Press was waiting for me."

"But he said he had already discussed it with Xuemin at the symposium yesterday, so Xuemin should know about it, right?"

People's Literature Xiao Cui did not ask so many questions. When his leader asked him to submit the application form, he rushed out of the unit on his bicycle and rushed over here.

I really don't understand why Renwenshe is waiting.

"Oh, that's fine. Xiao Cui, leave the application form here. I'll give it to Xuemin later!"

"Will you wait at home for a while, or go to Yanda to meet them?"

"They will have lunch at the Changzheng Restaurant in Yanda University. Xiao Cui, would you like to go over and keep them company?"

Seeing this, Feng's mother nodded. Since her son-in-law knew about this, she would wait for Xuemin to come back and ask him in person.

I am also wondering!

Joining the Writers Association is such a big deal. Zhang Guangnian mentioned it to Xuemin at the symposium yesterday, but Xuemin didn't mention it to them when he came back last night.

I just talked about the things in the literature department.

"No, no, since Xuemin is entertaining guests, I won't go over to disturb him!"

"Teacher Gu, please tell Xuemin to submit the application form to the agency as soon as possible after filling it out. I was originally planning to wait for him to fill it out today and then bring it back to the agency!"

Although Xiao Cui heard from Feng's mother that Cheng Xuemin was treating his friends to a meal at Yanda University, he was very tempted to go over and join them.

But in the end, I was not so shameless, so I waved my hand and hurried back, trying to get back to the community in time for lunch.

"Ah? It's not a big deal. The hotel is not far from here. Just turn left and ride your bike. It'll only take a few minutes!"

Seeing Xiao Cui's politeness, Feng's mother tried to persuade him to stay, "How about I go with you?"

"Anyway, you've already said that when Xuemin fills out the application form, you can help bring it back to the agency, so that Xuemin doesn't have to go to the city again!"

"Xiao Cui is fine, he's not far from the Changzheng Hotel!"

"Xuemin needs to take care of my daughter during her confinement period. He really can't leave recently. Can you help him?"

"I'll go with you!"

As Feng's mother was talking, she realized that her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin really couldn't get away at the moment and didn't have the time to make a special trip to People's Literature.

"No, no, Mr. Gu, in that case, I'll go to Yanda University to meet Xuemin!"

"Long March Hotel, right? Then I'll go over and bump into Xuemin first!"

It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. When he saw that Cheng Xuemin's mother-in-law, Teacher Gu, wanted to take him there, he quickly waved his hand and said no, he would go there himself.

"Yes, yes, the Changzheng Hotel, go in from the west gate of Yanda University, it's on Wusi Road, not far from here!"

After Feng's mother saw them out of the yard, she didn't bother picking vegetables in the yard anymore and went straight into the backyard.

"Mom, is that the postman? Is that Xuemin's letter?"

Feng Jiayou, who was sitting in the backyard looking after her son after giving birth, faintly heard some noise coming from the front yard. It must be a letter being delivered to her husband.

"It's Cui from People's Literature. He came all the way here to give Xuemin this application form. Do you know what's going on?"

Mother Feng handed the application form for the Literary Association to her daughter Feng Jiayou and stared at her to see her reaction.

"Xiao Cui from People's Literature? Mom, you didn't invite him to dinner?"

Feng Jiayou was surprised for a moment, and then asked casually why she didn't invite him to have lunch. Then she took the application form handed over by her mother and found that it was indeed the application form for joining the Literary Association that her husband Xuemin had given her last night. However, she replied indifferently, "The application form for the Literary Association? Xuemin came back last night and mentioned it to me."

"It is said that the editor-in-chief of People's Literature, Lao Zhang, wants to recruit him into the Literary Association. He said that he wants Xuemin to go to People's Literature when he has time to fill out an application form!"

"This... Old Zhang actually asked Xiao Cui to personally make a trip and deliver it?"

"Today is Sunday, aren't you taking a rest?

She was pretending, but it was already Sunday, and Ms. Zhang from People's Literature still had someone send the application form over, which shows that she really cares about her man joining the Writers Association.

"Jiayou, do you know about this? Why didn't I hear you mention this to Xuemin yesterday?"

“This is to enter the Cultural Association!”

"For such a big thing, you two are really patient!"

When Feng's mother heard this, she was dumbfounded. Did her daughter know that her husband was going to join the Writers Association?
But he didn’t even tell his family about such a big thing as joining the Literary Association. That’s too much!
"Mom, haven't you entered yet? First you have to fill out the form. Xuemin and I thought it wouldn't be too late to tell you and Dad after you actually get in, right?"

Feng Jiayou looks so beautiful when she smiles, with a pair of rosy dimples on both sides of her face, which makes her feel so happy.

"Okay, okay, okay, anyway, you guys are the only ones who can say good or bad things!"

"I asked Xiao Cui to meet Xuemin at the Changzheng Hotel. When they come back from dinner, I asked Xuemin to fill out the application form first so that Xiao Cui can help take it back!"

Mother Feng was so angry about what her daughter said!
Come to think of it, it was indeed her son-in-law's style, steady and secretive, he would not easily tell his family about things until they were done.

However, since she was asked to fill out the application form, based on her experience as a person who had been through it, it was basically a sure thing that she would be admitted to the Cultural Association this time.

"By the way, Xiao Cui just mentioned it, saying that Renwen Press is waiting for it!"

"It's Sunday now, and Mr. Zhang asked Xiao Cui to deliver the application form. Why?"

Mother Feng followed her daughter's words and asked another question.

The main leader of the Writers Association is Zhang Guangnian of People's Literature, and he has no direct relationship with Renwen Publishing House. Why is Renwen Publishing House in a hurry for her son-in-law to join the Writers Association?

Are you so anxious that you have to ask someone to deliver the application form to your home on Sunday?
Since when did the leaders of the Cultural Association become so humble?
"Mom, it's like this, it's said that Li Shuguang of the Humanities Society wants to learn from the editorial board of the Democratic Progressive Party Humanities Society!"

"This Literary Association said it was a transition. They said that in order to join the editorial board of the Humanities Publishing House, one must be a comrade of the Literary Association. Is that right, Mom?"

Feng Jiayou's question was indeed a shocking one, and it must have been too shocking and confusing for her mother to hear it.

"Jiayou, what did you say?" "Xuemin is going to join the editorial board of Renwenshe?"

"When did this happen?"

Confused and shocked!
When Feng's mother heard that Renwenshe was in a hurry to get the application form for the Literary Association, she had this hunch.

Because she is on the editorial board of Renwen Publishing House, she is familiar with the routine!

Her husband, Lao Feng, didn’t he just join the editorial board of Renwen Press in April this year? Her husband, Lao Feng, was also promoted by the Foreign Language Bureau of his unit because he joined the editorial board of Renwen Press.

At that time, the whole family celebrated it happily!

It didn't make Feng's mother envious, jealous or hateful, because he was an editorial board member of Renwen Publishing House. Which cultural worker wouldn't want to be on the editorial board of Renwen Publishing House?
It can be said!
As far as China is concerned, being able to serve on the editorial board of a humanities publishing house is considered the highest achievement for cultural workers, right?

Which of the current editorial board members of Renwenshe Publishing House is not a great writer, scholar, or veteran professor who is highly respected and renowned both at home and abroad?
and!

In addition to their sales volume influence, which is one of the manifestations of their strength, what best represents the strength of a magazine is the number of humanities editorial members in their magazine editing team.
The editorial board of Renwenshe is the strongest force in each magazine, newspaper and publication.

pity!

So far, their October magazine does not have such hard power, and the editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu is not even an editorial board member of Renwen Press.

Not to mention their "October", even the "Yenching Literature" which is better than them did not have an editorial board member of the Humanities Publishing House before, not even their editor-in-chief Li Qingquan.

Li Qingquan's performance in Yenching Literature was very impressive last year. In April this year, she and her husband Feng joined the editorial board of Renwen Press.

It can be said that it has brought Yenching literature to another level. Even if October wants to catch up with it, it simply cannot do so due to its hard power.

Because no one knows when in October they will be able to appoint an editorial board member for the humanities society.

But now it’s better!

I heard her daughter Feng Jiayou say so calmly that her husband's son-in-law is going to join the editorial board of Renwen Publishing House!

This……

Does her son-in-law... match up with the qualities of being highly respected, a leading figure in the literary world, and well-known both at home and abroad?

How come even Xuemin didn't say a word and ran ahead of me to join the editorial board of Renwen Press? !
"It was at the symposium yesterday afternoon!"

"At that time, both the Institute of Literature and Humanities Publishing House invited Xuemin, saying that it was the head of the group who specially asked about it!"

Row!
Even Mr. Mao has asked about it, so it is a foregone conclusion that her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin will join the China Literary Association and the editorial board of Wenshe Publishing House.

And I can also give lectures at the Wenjiang Institute!

Mother Feng was so stunned by the series of surprises that she didn't know what to say.

"Mom, where are you going?"

After hearing what she heard, her mother turned around and left without saying anything!
This made Feng Jiayou a little confused. Was her mother happy or unhappy about her son-in-law joining the editorial board of Renwen Publishing House?

"I...I'll go cook for you!"

"Jiamo and the others are almost done with their exams and will be back for lunch!"

Feng's mother ran away immediately. She didn't want to see her daughter showing off anymore. It was just that her man became an editorial board member of Renwen Publishing House. What was there to be so proud of?

The editorial board of Renwen Press... Her family member Lao Feng also joined, what's so great about that?!

wrong!

There is still one lecture invitation she needs to give at a literature institute. Her husband has received an invitation to give a lecture at the literature institute, but there has been no response from her husband, Mr. Feng.

This doesn't work.

As a mother-in-law, it's fine if she has surpassed her husband. But if Old Feng falls behind again, she doesn't know what will happen to Feng Jiayou.

Whoops!

I have to urge Lao Feng to publish a manuscript with high academic content and wide influence as soon as possible to attract the attention of the Institute of Literature.

Ding Ling from the Institute of Literature, no matter who you forget, you must never forget her husband, Old Feng!
Back then, her husband Feng Ke was also a very good fighter!

"yawn!"

Father Feng, who was helping his father-in-law and mother-in-law pack their luggage at Xiaoanshan in Yanjiao, suddenly shuddered, not knowing what happened!
If Feng's father knew about this, it would be known that the family was too extravagant, and that his sons, daughters-in-law, and sons-in-law had all gone crazy.

Now the situation has come to the head of him as the father-in-law. His wife is going to take ruthless measures and force him, Old Feng, to get involved as well and not surpass his son-in-law too much.

By then, Father Feng won’t know whether to be miserable or miserable!
On Cheng Xuemin's side, he accompanied Hu Luyao and others from Yanhe Literature, and Xie Jin from Shanghai, and after they toured the Yanda campus, they went to the Changzheng Hotel for dinner.

Hu Cai and the others were stunned when they saw Cheng Xuemin bringing them into the Changzheng Hotel.

"Xuemin, why are you here? Didn't we agree to eat at home?"

Hu Cai pulled Cheng Xuemin, but they didn't dare to go in here. This was the Changzheng Hotel, a well-known and prestigious high-end hotel in Yanjing. Wasn't it too expensive?

"Yes, Xuemin, just eat something at home. I saw that Teacher Gu bought some food."

Xie Jin was also polite and felt that there was no need to go to a restaurant.

"Old Hu and Old Xie, I would like to invite you to have a simple meal at my home, but I have just told you about the situation at home!"

Cheng Xuemin also smiled politely and said, "To be honest, we really don't have any surplus food at home!"

"We don't have enough food coupons and meat coupons every month, so sometimes we have to go to this restaurant!"

"So, Lao Hu and Lao Xie, don't be polite to us. We really didn't prepare your meals at home, and we don't have the food coupons or meat coupons to prepare your meals!"

"So, I'll take you to a restaurant next time, thanks to you guys!"

What Cheng Xuemin said was half true and half false. It was true that the family was short of food coupons and meat coupons every month, but it had never been to this extent.

After all, the family has Feng's father's super meal ticket, and Feng's mother's salary level and benefits such as grain and meat coupons are not low. In fact, with a few more people in the family, there is no shortage of tickets.

Moreover, when he didn’t have tickets, Cheng Xuemin would also go to the pigeon market, but they basically didn’t need food tickets or meat tickets there. It must be a black market!
"Old Xie and Old Hu, Xuemin is right. We are a big family, and we are short of meat and grain coupons. Fortunately, this restaurant doesn't use meat and grain coupons. Otherwise, Xuemin and I would not know how to entertain you today!"

Brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao also followed suit and supported Cheng Xuemin.

"Well, actually, we can go back to the guesthouse to eat. In fact, the Humanities Society guesthouse provides food and accommodation, and the food is pretty good!"

After hearing this, Lao Hu, Xie Jin, Lu Yao, Jia Ao, Ping Mo Shen and others looked at each other, not knowing how to be polite.

This is also the first time I have encountered such a thing.

Because we didn’t have enough food coupons and meat coupons at home, we couldn’t eat at home, so we had to bring them out and eat in a restaurant!

It is true that you don’t need food coupons or meat coupons to eat in a restaurant, but the wool comes from the sheep, so eating in a restaurant is expensive!

With so many of them, one meal would cost Cheng Xuemin a month's salary.

One month’s salary!

When ordinary people invite guests to dinner, they don't do it this way.

……

Asking for a monthly ticket!
