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

Chapter 52 Feng Jiayou blew himself up, Mom, please listen to my excuse! (Please read on

This is October magazine!

"Teacher Gu, are you sure you can get the author of The Shepherd, Cha Jianying, to come out for a face-to-face talk?!"

In the office of editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu, he was so excited after hearing the feedback from Feng's mother Gu Xueqing!

After asking once, he asked again: "Teacher Gu, are you sure that the author of The Shepherd, Lao Xu, is my classmate Cha Jianying?!"

"Old Liu, it should be that Zha Jianying! Look at this issue of Yanjing Literature, the front-page headline is a work by a student of Yanjing University! My debt collector has also agreed this time to help us find her classmates to write for us in October!"

What Feng's mother said was indeed true. The debt collector in her family said that her classmate Cha Jianying had read this issue of Yenching Literature and even let it slip that it was the front-page headline. At first, she tried to deny it.

Yesterday, I asked her to help arrange an article, and she didn't deny it anymore. Instead, she readily agreed to help her arrange it, so how could this be wrong! ?
"That's fine! Teacher Gu, please pay more attention. Jiayou is our October's own child, and her classmates are also our October's children. You must get her back for me!"

Liu Xinwu clapped his fists. As long as they confirmed that the author of The Wrangler, Lao Xu, was Feng Jiayou’s classmate Cha Jianying, then the matter would be easy!

With Feng Jiayou as the key, Liu Xinwu was confident that he could get the person back.

"Old Liu, I will try my best but I can't guarantee anything. After all, we made a mistake this time. It was Yanjing Literature who discovered her!" Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, was not as confident as Liu Xinwu, and she dared not say too much. She had to wait for feedback from her own debt collector.

"That's true!" Liu Xinwu also nodded. After all, they missed it at the very beginning!
Originally they were given the opportunity to have their first time in October, but unfortunately they didn't seize the opportunity!
Jingle Bell!
At this time, the phone in the office rang. Liu Xinwu answered it immediately and asked, "Hello, this is October. Who are you looking for?"

"Old Liu! I'm Li Qingquan! Our Yanjing Literature magazine is published today, have you read it?!"

"You've seen it, right?"

"I'm calling you to ask you what you think about our headline!?"

"To be honest! We are on the front page of the new author's headline this time, and the pressure is very great! I just want to call you, Lao Liu, to let you know. Lao Liu, you are a well-known critic in the industry, please give me some comments!"

In an instant, Liu Xinwu's face turned completely green. What was Li Qingquan thinking? !

Yes!
The front-page headline of this issue of Yenching Literature was indeed well-written and beautiful. Liu Xinwu felt envious just by looking at it, and he couldn't help sighing with regret.

But how long have they officially released it? Half a day?

Was Li Qingquan so impatient to call in and show off?

Isn't it too early for Li Qingquan?

"So proud, Lao Li, just keep being proud! It hasn't been half a day since you launched the product?! Are you so impatient to hold a celebration party?!"

Liu Xinwu retorted in annoyance.

"Haha, Old Liu! I'm not sure if we can hold a celebration party, but I just want to tell you that I have already printed an extra 50,000 copies!"

"What? Print an additional 50,000 copies?! Old Li, are you crazy?" Liu Xinwu originally wanted to say something back, but he was really shocked by the number of additional copies that Li Qingquan printed!
"There's nothing we can do! It's just been half a day and all the copies have been sold out in the few distribution points in Yanjing. If we don't print more copies quickly, the door of our Yanjing Literature will be packed with our enthusiastic readers tomorrow afternoon!"

"Ah?! Yanshida is sold out again? Okay, okay, Old Liu, did you hear that? I won't say anything for now. I'm destined to be a hard worker. I have to go to the printing factory and keep an eye on it. Maybe printing 50,000 copies is not enough. I have to print another 50,000 copies!"

"By the way, I will definitely treat you to a meal later, Lao Liu! Lao Liu, you are such a good person!"

"Dudududu!"

Liu Xinwu was so angry that he didn't say a word. If it weren't for his upbringing, he really wanted to yell at Li Qingquan on the other end of the phone: "Good man of Nima Bi, Li Qingquan, don't take advantage of me and act like a good kid. I'm going to kill you!"

"Old Liu, that sounds like the voice of Li Qingquan from Yanjing Literature? What did he say again?!" Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, could faintly hear Li Qingquan's triumphant and arrogant laughter on the phone.

"He said I was such a good person and that he would definitely treat me to a meal later!"

"Oh, right! They also said that they are going to print an extra 100,000 copies of this issue of Yanjing Literature. He has to go to the printing factory now to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, by tomorrow morning, the door of Yanjing Literature will be bursting with readers!"

Liu Xinwu briefly and angrily told Feng's mother what Li Qingquan had said proudly.

"Isn't Li Qingquan going too far? How could he insult our October like this?" Feng's mother Gu Xueqing was also dumbfounded and even more angry after hearing this.

"We were wrong about this, no wonder they are so proud!" Liu Xinwu shook his head and said, "Well, call Lao Wang after get off work, and we will go back with you, Teacher Gu, and meet with this horse herder Lao Xu to talk!" "As long as we win over the author, Li Qingquan will be dumbfounded!"

Isn't Li Qingquan a cocky guy? Then just cut off the firewood from under the cauldron, steal Li Qingquan's home, rob his people, and see who will have the last laugh.

In order to ensure success, the editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu is ready to step in personally to recruit people!

"Okay then! I'll get off work early and buy some food to cook!"

Gu Xueqing nodded, knowing that Old Liu was determined to win and could not let Li Qingquan take the lead anymore!

But in fact, everything was going well, but something unexpected happened!
"Teacher Gu, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not!"

In the afternoon, Xiao Yang, the editor in charge of the preliminary review, suddenly spoke up and said this.

"Xiao Yang, just say whatever you want to say. We are all from the same editorial department. If there is anything you are unsure about the manuscript, you should speak up as the preliminary editor!" Gu Xueqing put down the pen in her hand and said in a gentle tone, which was almost a different expression from the one she gave to the debt collector in her family.

"That's right! This morning, you seemed to be saying, Mr. Gu, that the headline on the front page of this issue of Yenching Literature was written by Cha Jianying from the Chinese Department of Yenching University!"

"But I found out that this article 'That Piece of Birch Forest' was written by her!" Xiao Yang mustered up his courage and continued, "I reviewed this manuscript at first. At that time, Zha Jianying also submitted the manuscript under the pen name 'Zhaxiduo'!"

"But this article, 'That Birch Forest', is indeed much better than her first draft!"

Finally, Xiao Yang emphasized that the manuscript was rejected because it was really not well written, but the revision she made to this article is indeed quite good.

"Yes, yes, yes! Teacher Gu, Xiao Yang's words reminded me of this! I was wondering why this manuscript looked so familiar, I felt like I had seen it somewhere before!

It was the paper submitted by Zha Jianying from Yanda University. It was not as good as it is now. Xiao Yang and I reviewed it and rejected it! "

Another preliminary review editor also quickly echoed and said!
"In other words, the Old Xu in The Shepherd is someone else and not Cha Jianying?"

Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, was so angry that she went berserk. She had just confirmed with Old Liu in the morning that Old Xu from the Wrangler was her classmate Cha Jianying, the debt collector.

Lao Liu had decided to take Lao Wang back with him in the afternoon to meet with Lao Xu of Zha Jianying in person to arrange for an article. But now, such a big mistake has been made!
Was the debt collector really born to collect debts from her? How dare he lie to her?

Feng's mother was so angry that she packed up her things on the spot, and left the editorial office with a very gloomy face. She went home to ask the debt collector at her home, how did she, as a mother, let her down? Why did she lie to her like this and make her look foolish at work?

"Huh?! Where's Teacher Gu!?"

Editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu wanted to discuss the matter with Teacher Gu and editor-in-chief Lao Wang, but when he came out, he didn't see Gu Xueqing!
"Lao Liu, it's like this...

……

Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou were also on their way home. Feng Jiayou finally found out what her husband had written to his mother-in-law this time!
"Xuemin, I think your writing is very good! Why do you say my mother might not dare to use it!?"

Feng Jiayou was amazed at her man's hand speed. In just one day, he had written the opening chapter of 15,000 to 16,000 words.

I thought he just wrote it randomly to celebrate the award, so I didn't hold much hope.

But after reading the whole article, Feng Jiayou only has one word to say: it is really well written!
"As long as you think it's good, Mom doesn't need you to give it to her later, let's see what she says!"

Cheng Xuemin's original intention was that the manuscript for his mother-in-law should be better than The Shepherd for Yenching Literature.

In this way, even if my mother-in-law finds out, at least I have room to maneuver.

But among all the short stories that could be paid tribute to, Cheng Xuemin chose this one, but he was not sure whether his mother-in-law would dare to use it!
"Why wouldn't I be afraid to use this? My mom will be so happy!"

Feng Jiayou was relieved. He returned home with a little expectation. Before he even entered the door, he shouted:

"Mom, I lived up to your expectations and got Jianying's manuscript back for you! It's another excellent manuscript...Mom, what are you doing with the feather duster?"
