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

Under the flattery of Teacher Xu Zhuoqun, several of Cheng Xuemin's disguises fell off on the spot, shocking the new classmates in the class.

Especially the female students, who didn't know Cheng Xuemin's family situation yet and just thought he was a new classmate, were eager to try.

As for Liaoning's top scorer in the college entrance examination, Gao Wen, he was shocked when he learned that the other party was not only Lao Xu, the author of The Horse Wrangler and a pioneer of reform and opening up chosen by the higher-ups, but also this year's top scorer in the Yenching College Entrance Examination.

He is also the top scorer in the national college entrance examination!
In an instant, Gao Wen's only pride in being the top scorer in the college entrance examination was nothing compared to the top scorer in the national college entrance examination.

Moreover, he is a specially appointed lecturer of Yanda University, and just like their class teacher, he is a teacher of Yanda University.

No wonder the head teacher, Mr. Xu, solemnly introduced this special new student as soon as he entered the classroom, and even appointed him as the new monitor of the class on the spot.

Unfortunately, he is a very busy man and has no time to be a squad leader.

Not only did he refuse to be the class monitor, but he also recommended him to be the class monitor in front of his classmates, which made Gao Yan feel ashamed.

that's it!
An interesting episode occurred when reporting for the start of school. Cheng Xuemin quickly ran away because there were no classes at the beginning of the school term.

"Xuemin, have you finished reporting?"

"I heard you applied for Lao Xu's computer science major?"

"Why didn't you apply for our own Chinese department? That way I can arrange the classes with you properly!"

Cheng Xuemin did not run back home, but had another identity, a specially appointed lecturer in the Chinese Department of Yan University.

So after checking in there, you must go to the Chinese Department teacher to check in and show up.

Before he even entered the office, he ran into the department head, Lao Yang, who smiled and teased Cheng Xuemin.

Then he waved his hand again and said to himself, "It's right that you didn't apply to our Chinese department!"

"I heard that you, Xuemin, are going to give lectures at the Institute of Literature, so who else in our Chinese Department can teach you?"

Director Yang felt very jealous when he said this, because that was the Institute of Literature, which could be said to be the highest classroom for literature.

This Cheng Xuemin in front of me is so good!

Not only did he receive an invitation from the Institute of Literature, but he was also directly appointed as a distinguished lecturer instead of being a student.

Wow, that’s awesome!
Anyway, up to now, Director Yang has not received any invitation from the Institute of Literature, which means he is definitely not qualified to give lectures.

Moreover, only three senior professors in the Chinese Department of Yenching University received invitations to give lectures.

Therefore, we can see the value of the Institute of Literature and Art, and it is the highest check-in point for teachers in the Chinese Department of their universities to get gilded and increase their salaries.

Cheng Xuemin was a good guy. He went there quietly, which really made many professors and lecturers in the Chinese Department envious.

"No no!"

"Director, please don't talk about me. I'm just interested in computer science!"

"And I don't specify, I go to class every day!"

Cheng Xuemin waved his hands repeatedly. He did not choose the Chinese department, not because he was proud of himself, but because there was no professor in the entire Chinese department who could teach him.

It's really just a hobby!
Of course, the premise of hobbies is to plan ahead.

After all, the future is the era of computers and the Internet. Cheng Xuemin has to hand over all his reserves in advance and try to catch up as quickly as possible.

Therefore, in the next ten years or so, computers and the Internet will be the main battlefield, and cultural output will have to take a back seat.

"Then it's true that you go to the Institute of Literature to give lectures, right?" Director Yang said with a smile again.

"At that time, it was only Teacher Ding Ling who mentioned it verbally, and in fact no official document had been issued!" Cheng Xuemin shrugged. The Institute of Literature will officially start classes at the end of the year.

Now we are just in the planning and student recruitment stage, so it is normal that no documents have been issued.

And this news, like other news, was down because of an extra-long summer vacation. I was supposed to go to the Institute of Literature in July, and I met Teacher Ding Ling in the department and mentioned it.

Cheng Xuemin did not publicize it to the outside world, he only mentioned it to his mother-in-law and others at home.

Of course, telling my mother-in-law is equivalent to telling everyone in the circle.

But it was summer vacation at Yan University at that time, so the news might not spread so quickly. Even if it reached someone's ears, it would be very surprising.

But because it was holiday and I couldn't find Cheng Xuemin himself, I could only keep this surprise to myself for the time being.

Who would have thought that the summer vacation is over, and in fact the popularity of this topic has long passed, but it may have just started to get lively here at Yanda.

For example, go to the Wen Lecture Hall!

For example, just now in the computer class, those new classmates were still discussing the horse shepherd Xu Lingjun. How long ago was that?
"Once it's mentioned verbally, it's settled!"

"The documents issued by the Institute of Literature will definitely be sent to our Chinese Department. I will definitely pay more attention to them for you then!"

"We have several other senior professors in the Chinese department, and it's the same!"

Cheng Xuemin has now officially become a member of Yanda University. All his work relationships have been transferred to Yanda and he is officially under the direct leadership of Director Yang.

Therefore, if there is a document coming down from outside asking to second Cheng Xuemin or something, it needs to go through Director Yang.

Fortunately, Cheng Xuemin and Lao Yang get along well, so they usually don't get in his way.

This kind of relationship must continue to be maintained, and Cheng Xuemin had to repay his kindness. Before the start of the school year, he took the initiative to suggest to Lao Yang that some teaching courses could be arranged for him this semester.

Director Yang was so happy at that time that he jumped for joy. What he wanted was Cheng Xuemin's class!

Looking back to last semester, Cheng Xuemin was arranged to give an open class, which was a sensation and wonderful.

Even students from Huaqing University, Normal University, and Beijing Film Academy next door were vying to attend the class.

But since that open class, the busy man Cheng Xuemin has nowhere to be found. He promised to continue to finish the lecture on "The Great Qin Splitting", but it has not been implemented until now.

Cheng Xuemin was indeed extremely busy. The later part of his Qin trilogy only talked about a reform and fission, and he had no time to talk about the rest.

As a result, People's Literature, which is still waiting for the publication of subsequent manuscripts, is urging them to submit their manuscripts.

"Then please help pay more attention to it!" Cheng Xuemin smiled and nodded, and took the initiative to ask about the class schedule, saying, "Dean, is the class schedule out? I'll take a look so I can prepare for get out of class!"

"Come out, come out!"

"If you don't ask, I will talk to you face to face!"

Director Yang nodded repeatedly, took out a class schedule from his pocket, and said to Cheng Xuemin, "I know you are a busy person and you are not interested in our Chinese department!"

"And Principal Zhou has asked about this, and told you that your focus in the future may be on being seconded to the ministry to earn foreign exchange, so try not to schedule too many classes!"

"Here!"

"The principal has personally instructed that there will only be one class per week, scheduled on Monday afternoon!"

"In this case, you only need to come to the department once a week!"

"If you want to ask for leave... just let your lover tell you!"

Director Yang is very considerate. He only arranges one class a week for me, and I can take leave at any time.

This kind of treatment made Cheng Xuemin feel embarrassed to accept the salary.

But it is indeed as Director Yang said, Cheng Xuemin’s focus in the future will be just two words: earning foreign exchange, earning foreign exchange, and earning foreign exchange!

The truth is, we are too poor now. We don’t have foreign exchange reserves and cannot introduce advanced technology. We cannot develop by just working in isolation.

Not to mention catching up and narrowing the gap with Western powers.

"Then I have to thank you for taking care of me, Director!"

There was only one class arranged for a week, which really was very considerate of him. Cheng Xuemin expressed his gratitude immediately.

"What do you mean by taking care of me or not? Why are you being so polite?"

"In short, from now on, whether it's work, study, or life, if you need anything, just ask!"

"Anyway, the principal has already said hello, it's precious!"

Director Yang kept talking non-stop, causing Cheng Xuemin to nod his head repeatedly to show that he understood.

Then I greeted several professors and teachers in the office.

So you can imagine that this topic has been kept secret for the entire summer vacation. Now that we have finally caught a live person like Cheng Xuemin, we can't help but eat some melons and brag about it. We didn't even go home for lunch.

Before I knew it, the day had passed!

When I got home, people couldn't help but talk about me again, especially my wife Feng Jiayou and her classmates, who had been holding it in for the entire summer vacation.

You know, although Cheng Xuemin didn't have many outstanding works this summer, after all, several of his best works were kept in the hands of various units, waiting to be released around National Day.

But the national top scorer in the college entrance examination was enough to cause a sensation in their class.

There are more questions about urging for manuscripts and asking where the final draft of Cheng Xuemin's "My Years in the Corps" will be published?

Just after I came back to report for the start of school, I received a piece of "bad news". "Today", a magazine edited by the talented Cheng Xuemin and mainly supplied by the Chinese Department of Yenching University, was banned.

For a moment, those students in the Chinese Department who wanted to submit their papers were completely confused.

There was more of Cheng Xuemin's "My Years in the Corps", which had not been serialized to the end, and the last and most exciting part had not been published in time, so "Today" was banned.

Fortunately, my wife Feng Jiayou has been appeased. Although the first publication of the statement in "Today" magazine is not allowed, the sequel to "My Years in the Corps" will still be published in the next issue of "October".

At the same time, we have also asked her mother's "October" to submit some articles. If students are interested in writing and submitting articles, they can submit them to her mother's "October" first.

In this way, Feng Jiayou herself also took on a lot of work.

You know, those college students in the Chinese Department, stimulated by her lover, have been planning their big move for the entire summer vacation.

When reporting to school this time, which schoolbag doesn’t have a few proud manuscripts?
Today, Feng Jiayou was soliciting manuscripts in class again. Well, a flood of manuscripts were submitted, all asking the wife of Feng Jiayou, a talented man, to help take a good look at them and see if they met the requirements.

This is why Cheng Xuemin, when he returns home now, sees his wife's head buried in reading the manuscript.

Cheng Xuemin, feeling distressed, bewitched and said, "Wife, what kind of heart do you have? Old Liu won't pay you a salary!"

"If you want me to see it, just send it all to Mom's room and let her see it herself!"

After hearing his lover's teasing words, Feng Jiayou quickly raised his head and smiled, "Okay, okay, then Xuemin, can you help me deliver these manuscripts to my mother's room?"

"Uh... just ignore what I said!"

Cheng Xuemin shook his head quickly when he heard that. He had nothing better to do than to find trouble, so he went to bring some "warmth" to his mother-in-law after get off work.

Don't be fooled by your mother-in-law's murderous eyes.

"Then what are you talking about!" Feng Jiayou raised her eyes and knew that her man didn't dare, and in fact, she herself didn't dare even more.

Now her mother's "October" is on the right track, and with Cheng Xuemin, a good son-in-law, who contributes regularly, the sales volume is guaranteed to be very considerable.

So there is actually no shortage of manuscripts. For example, among the manuscripts of students in the Chinese Department of Yenching University, only a few barely meet the requirements for acceptance, and the rest are basically only good enough to be published in something like "Today" or Yenching University's own school magazine "Wenming Lake".

Most big magazines like October are hesitant to try.

This is why everyone rushed to ask Feng Jiayou to help judge and comment on the works.

"By the way, Xuemin, your class must be very lively today, right?"

"Are those new students surprised and confused when they know that there is a 'big shot' like you as their classmate?"

Feng Jiayou stopped reading the manuscript and sat down, hugged her man, and asked jokingly with a smile.

"of course!"

Wife, if you ask this, then I will be excited!

Cheng Xuemin said without showing off: "Wife, it was because you were not in the class at that time that you did not see how exaggerated the shock was when Teacher Xu Zhuoqun solemnly introduced your man..."

In this way, Cheng Xuemin started bragging in front of his wife.

"what?!"

"No, no, wife, I was just bragging, no, no!"

"There really is no female classmate who chased me to the boys' dormitory to ask me which dormitory I lived in. I was just bragging because I got carried away!"

He was originally talking non-stop, and even told Cheng Xuemin what he had heard from others.

Before I knew it, I felt a gradual pain in the fat around my waist. Then I realized how complacent I was and how I had forgotten who was in front of me!

He actually told his wife what he heard from others: after Cheng Xuemin left, there was a bold female classmate in their computer class who was unaware of the situation and ran to the boys' dormitory to ask which dormitory Cheng Xuemin lived in.

Now, he blew it out in triumph, and didn't pay any attention to Feng Jiayou's expression. He had changed from cheering at the beginning to making you proud, and his little hand had even twisted to his waist, but he didn't even notice or react.

This made Feng Jiayou even more angry, so he used some force to bring this complacent guy back to reality.

"Blow!"

"Just keep blowing!"

"You even boasted that some female classmates followed you to your boys' dormitory!"

Feng Jia said in a childish tone.

"no!"

"Wife, you know me!"

"I was just bragging, but it was all nonsense, nothing true!"

Cheng Xuemin quickly surrendered, raised his hands and admitted his mistake.

"You're just bragging, aren't you?"

"You don't live in the school dormitory, how can you brag so well?"

"Could it be that you went to your computer boys' dormitory to inquire?"
