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

Chapter 310 The amount is too huge, so no one dares to make a decision (Please order the whole thing)
After dinner, Cheng Xuemin was called into the study by his father-in-law, and the two began a night talk that lasted more than three hours.

Feng's mother, brother-in-law Feng Jiayou and others who were unaware of the situation looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what on earth this father-in-law and son-in-law had done.

If you have anything to say, you have to close the study and talk quietly.

In other words, it lasted for a whole night.

Moreover, after her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin left, Feng's mother, who was waiting in the bedroom, never saw her husband come back.

She couldn't help but go over and knock on the door of the study to see what her husband, Mr. Feng, was doing in the study.
"Uh!"

"Old Feng, what are you talking about with Xuemin? It's so smoky, how much did you smoke?"

When she pushed the door open, she was greeted by the choking smell of cigarettes. Mother Feng couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Then I quickly opened the window to dissipate the smoke.

Father Feng did not look up, but concentrated on smoking the remaining cigarette in his hand. He was still shocked by what his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin had just said to him.

"Old Feng, what's wrong with you?"

"What happened?"

"If you can tell me something, tell me instead of scaring me!"

Seeing her husband smoking in such a solemn manner, Feng's mother realized that something serious might have happened, and her face turned pale and trembling with fear.

Lao Feng is not usually like this!

If he was smoking in such a serious manner, something must have happened, and it must be a big thing.

Feng's mother knew her man's character, and her voice trembled as she asked.

I can’t figure it out!
How come everything went fine and suddenly became like this?

Originally, the son-in-law came back and told everyone that his foreign song earned $300,000 in foreign exchange for the country, which was a great thing.

The family was supposed to be having a good time and celebrating.

How come the father-in-law and son-in-law came into the room to talk right after dinner, and the conversation lasted for more than three hours. After the conversation, her husband was in such a state. What on earth happened?
"Today, Xuemin suddenly sent a manuscript to Mr. Wu!"

Father Feng then looked up at Mother Feng, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he stared at her seriously for a long time before speaking slowly.

"what?"

"Has Xuemin written a manuscript for Mr. Wu?"

"This...isn't this normal? Hasn't Mr. Wu been asking Xuemin for articles?"

Mother Feng was already frightened by the serious look in Father Feng's eyes, which was staring at her seriously.

After listening to Feng's father slowly talking about the manuscript, Feng's mother was surprised and then spoke up.

Her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin caught the eye of Mr. Wu because of his good writing skills, so it is normal for him to send a manuscript to Mr. Wu occasionally!
And not only Mr. Wu, but also Mr. Shi from the General Political Department and several other people were asking her son-in-law to write articles.

So, it's normal that their son-in-law is highly regarded by the higher-ups.

But soon, Feng's mother realized that with her son-in-law's bold character, it was possible that the manuscript he submitted this time had scared her son-in-law so much?

"They are some proposals about reform and opening up. They are very bold and ambitious. They scared Mr. Wu so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead..." Father Feng looked at his wife's expression and said slowly.

"Xuemin's manuscripts are not always bold..." After hearing this, Feng's mother thought to herself that he was indeed bold again and scared her old Feng like this.

Her heart, which had been hanging in the balance, finally heaved a sigh of relief. They all knew that her son-in-law was very brave in writing articles!

If he is not brave enough, then he is her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin!

So, as a writer, how brave can you be?

The previous situation has passed, and freedom of speech has been relaxed. No one will be forced to work for saying the wrong thing anymore.

So, when Feng's mother heard the first half of Feng's father's sentence, she felt relieved. She was about to laugh and say, "Old Feng, you are just too timid. You were scared by your son-in-law's manuscript and you dragged him to talk for most of the night, and then sat here alone smoking all night."

I was just about to comfort her husband, Mr. Feng, saying it’s okay, there’s nothing to be afraid of!

It’s not the first time that their son-in-law has written that kind of article. The one who is not brave enough is their son-in-law Cheng Xuemin.

But after hearing the last half of her mother's sentence, Feng's mother, who had not taken it seriously, was frightened and turned pale. She asked in a trembling voice, "What? What did you say, Old Feng?"

"Mr. Wu was also frightened by Xuemin's manuscript to the point of cold sweat on his forehead and trembling?"

Oh my God!
Old Wu was so scared by a manuscript written by her son-in-law that he broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder her husband, Old Feng, was also scared like this.

So what kind of manuscript did their son-in-law write for the higher-ups?

Mr. Feng originally didn't want to make Mrs. Feng worry, but the matter was of great importance and concerned the future of the whole family, so he could only slowly tell Mrs. Feng what his son-in-law had just said to him.

After hearing this, Feng's mother's face turned pale, but she still comforted Feng's father and said, "Old Feng, these suggestions written by Xuemin should not be a big deal, right?"

"At worst, don't hand it over. Just let Elder Wu suppress it, right?"

Feng's mother was not an illiterate woman who knew nothing. Newspapers, television and radio were all promoting reform and opening up and calling for foreign exchange earnings.

So she felt that the suggestions written by her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin were basically based on these propaganda policies.

Therefore, Feng's mother wanted to identify her son-in-law and said, "Besides, from what you said, Old Feng, aren't these all based on the 'decentralization and profit sharing' advocated in newspapers, television and radio, and bold proposals that open up the channels for discussion and imagination?"

"If we really want to speed things up, I think the suggestions made by scholars are pretty good!"

"A little bolder though!"

"But Lao Feng, you also said that there must be someone to eat the crab first. I don't think this is a bad thing!"

Whether Feng's mother was defending her son-in-law or trying to cheer herself up, her constant chattering was to the point.

My son-in-law Cheng Xuemin just said the same thing to me.

"That was Xuemin who said it, not me!" Father Feng said, the flesh on his face twitching violently twice.

"Ah?" This confused Feng's mother and she exclaimed.

"The first metaphor of eating crabs was just mentioned by Xuemin!"

"In my opinion, you and Xuemin have the same face. Before, you both walked in a radical way. This is not acceptable!"

After saying a few words, Mr. Feng reached for the cigarette box on the desk and found it was empty. He had unknowingly finished the whole pack of cigarettes that his son-in-law had just given him as a gift.

"Tsk, I think you guys are just scaring yourselves!"

"Still smoking? Go to bed now! You've already said that the manuscript has been submitted, so you can wait and see whether you will be killed or fined!"

Speaking of this, Feng's mother was not worried at all!

The manuscript has been handed in by Mr. Wu, and they have met to study it, but there has been no specific feedback, so please wait!

This is a good signal, in Feng's mother's opinion.

Since there was no specific feedback and they asked me to wait, it meant that they attached great importance to the manuscript submitted by my son-in-law.

Otherwise, if you don’t take it seriously, you can just return it on the spot!

If you want to say that they are extremely bold, then they should be criticized and educated on the spot. Why would they be asked to come back and wait for news?

So Feng's mother didn't think it was necessarily a bad thing. It was just that her father Feng was afraid of being criticized and became timid, like a frightened bird, and was afraid of everything.

This is understandable, of course. Thinking of their previous experiences, no one wants to be beaten again.

"No, it's empty!"

Father Feng showed the empty cigarette box in front of Mother Feng and said unhappily.

"Then go back to bed!"

Mother Feng just gave the old woman a flattering look, and she was just scaring herself.

"You……"

Father Feng also understood this and thought that he could only wait.

...Cheng Xuemin was also treated the same way as his father-in-law and was questioned and questioned by his own woman.

Also because the father-in-law and son-in-law talked until very late, Feng Jiayou and his son had been waiting at the courtyard, so they did not go back to the house at the Overseas Chinese Apartment to sleep at night.

However, my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo, with her two nephews and nieces, and my cousin Qin Xiaolian, went to the Overseas Chinese Apartment to watch TV and enjoy the air conditioning.

"Wife, if Dad were asked to leave the Foreign Language Bureau and go south to take charge of local work, would he go?"

Father Feng was pessimistic, waiting for the guillotine to chop him down.

But Cheng Xuemin didn't think so. He felt that he could seize this opportunity and give his father-in-law a boost.

When talking to his father-in-law just now, Cheng Xuemin vaguely mentioned it to him, but there was no sign of the matter, and he didn't say it in detail, so his father-in-law didn't react.

Cheng Xuemin didn't say anything more afterwards, just said that he would talk about it when the time came. Anyway, Mr. Wu also asked Cheng Xuemin to wait for news at home.

However, you can first spread some news to the person next to you.

"Let Dad leave the Foreign Language Bureau and go south to take charge of the work?"

"Xuemin, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"Is this what you and Dad talked about when you hid in the study at night?"

Feng Jiayou leaned against Cheng Xuemin and asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"No, I just had a sudden impulse. If there is an opportunity to go south and take charge of a local job, do you think Dad will go?"

Cheng Xuemin hugged the woman, teasing the little one who was drinking milk in her arms, and laughed.

"That depends on how big the place is."

"Besides, my dad has been promoted in the bureau, so there is room for advancement. It would be best if he could stay in the bureau!"

"Besides, you said to go south. It's so far south, I don't think Dad will go!"

"After all, my parents have been waiting for us to return to Beijing, so they definitely don't want to go back!"

Feng Jiayou shook her head and denied it without any hesitation, thinking that her father would not go to the south again.

After all, her father had just returned from the south. How much suffering had he endured during those ten years there?

How could I possibly think of going back?
Ok!

Cheng Xuemin was also affected by what his woman said, and he was no longer sure about it!
how to say!

The woman asked right away how big the place was. Her father was already a deputy director in the Foreign Language Bureau, so there was a lot of room for advancement. It wouldn't be a problem for him to be promoted one or two levels before retirement.

But what if we go south?
It seems that the circle at the beginning is the village-level unit, right?
Even though it was cordoned off, the administrative level was not raised very high at the beginning. After all, it was just a pilot unit and everyone was crossing the river by feeling the stones.

So, asking my father-in-law to leave the Foreign Language Bureau of a department-level unit and go south to a village or town to take charge of work is seen by outsiders as exile?

So, by then, not to mention my father-in-law himself, even my mother-in-law won’t be able to get past him.

As for painting rosy pictures and talking about the future with my father-in-law and mother-in-law?

It is said that that village or town will take off in less than two years and surpass ordinary cities, or even most provincial capitals?
I believe that my mother-in-law will definitely not buy into this empty promise.

But Cheng Xuemin will definitely try his best to sleep with them and force his father-in-law to go south with him.

Because I know that going south is to gild my resume, and coming back will give me a bright future to take over Mr. Wu's class, so why not go?

"That's right. Dad does have a lot of room for advancement in the Foreign Language Bureau!"

Cheng Xuemin thought about it, nodded, and stopped talking to his wife about this. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Wife, we will soon receive hundreds of thousands of foreign exchange. Don't you have to show your appreciation and celebrate it properly?"

Three hundred thousand foreign exchange and rice will be credited to my account soon, shouldn't we celebrate this hugely?
"Die!"

"Is there any father like you? What are you fighting with your son about?"

……

Next, Cheng Xuemin returned to his normal routine and quickly followed his brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao to Yanying Studio to complete the subsequent dubbing work of "The Shepherd".

The filming progress of The Horse Wrangler was already lagging behind, and the subsequent dubbing work fell on Cheng Xuemin, which did not want to delay the progress of director Xie Jin any further, so Cheng Xuemin would go to Yanying Studio whenever he had time.

Fortunately, director Xie Jin had been editing the film in the few days before, and the dubbing work had not officially started yet.

After Cheng Xuemin finished the foreign song, he caught up with Xie Jin's progress and started the dubbing work.

It took almost another week to finally complete the subsequent dubbing work for the movie "The Horseman".

At this point, the entire filming and recording of "The Horse Wrangler" has basically come to an end.

The next step is several rounds of careful screening tests. If there are no problems, the film can be submitted for review. It is expected to premiere around National Day.

Similarly, Cheng Xuemin's foreign song continued to gain popularity.

As early as the second day of the chart hit, it directly rushed to the top of the New York Global Voices Pop Songs Chart and has been at the top of the chart for a week!

If you can keep it up for a month, the bonus of one million Mi Jin will be credited to your account.

follow!

It is already late August. Calculating the time, my brother-in-law Wang Quanwen has already left his hometown and will soon arrive in Yanjing.

And that night, my father-in-law brought good news to the family.

The 300,000 US dollars in foreign exchange that was previously signed has already arrived in his account at the Foreign Language Bureau.

Upon hearing the good news, the family was instantly overjoyed, but the father-in-law quickly poured cold water on them.

Because the amount of foreign exchange funds was so huge, Mr. Zhao from the Foreign Language Bureau did not dare to make a decision on his own and directly asked Cheng Xuemin to go and collect it.

Still reporting to the higher-ups and asking for instructions!
Three hundred thousand MiGold foreign exchange!

Although it was not cash but foreign exchange coupons of equal value that were given, this was still too huge an amount.

Not to mention their Foreign Language Bureau, even the State Administration of Foreign Exchange has never had a precedent of such a large amount of foreign exchange coupons falling into the hands of an individual.

This must be determined with instructions from higher authorities. Lao Zhao does not dare to make any decisions on his own.

after all!

Although Cheng Xuemin wrote the manuscript, composed the lyrics and the music privately, and sold the copyright, it should be considered as royalties, and in principle can be paid directly to the author himself.

However, according to the principle that all income and foreign exchange earnings belong to the state, this huge amount of royalties can also be regarded as a huge contribution to the country's foreign exchange earnings.

Give commendations to those who deserve commendations, and hold celebrations for those who deserve celebrations.

Finally, it is actually reasonable to issue a certificate of merit.

After all, the contributions made by our predecessors in developing the atomic bomb and large satellites cannot be measured in terms of money, so celebrations are held to commend them and awards are given out.

and so……

If the amount is small, just a few thousand or tens of thousands, just give it directly to the writer.

But this time the amount was too huge, and no one dared to make the decision, so they could only ask for instructions from their superiors.

of course!

Let my father-in-law, Mr. Feng, take the message back first. It seems that he wants to see what Cheng Xuemin’s attitude is first.

As for Cheng Xuemin's attitude, before he could express his position to his superiors, Mr. Wu called him that evening and asked him to visit him again the next day.

And he had to get up early because Old Chen had organized a meeting at 10 a.m. tomorrow and wanted him, the young pioneer, to attend.

In an instant, even the father-in-law and mother-in-law were trembling when they heard it.

……
