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

Chapter 63 Jiayou, your lover is the horse herder Lao Xu? (asking for monthly tickets)
"Sister Dening, are you... delivering readers' letters to the author of The Shepherd?!"

Feng Jiayou looked at the letters from readers in Zhang Dening's hand, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, I've finally got you here!
"So, the author of The Wrangler, Lao Xu, is really from Yenching University!?" Huang Beijia also asked quickly!

Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying were both distracted by Zhang Dening.

Now it’s not just about the shocking Feng Jiayou who also wrote a love letter to the horse herder Lao Xu, but the love letters from all of them, probably in Zhang Dening’s hands.

Yes, including Cha Jianying!
Although Cha Jianying is usually gentle and taciturn, what girl doesn't have spring in her heart? ?
Especially when they found out that the horse herder Lao Xu was their senior at Yanda University, all the girls in Yanda University went crazy, definitely including Cha Jianying.

It's just that she was an introverted person, and she also wrote secretly, so even Huang Beijia, who slept on the upper bunk, didn't notice it.

"Okay! Judging from the reactions of the three of you, you must have written it all, right?!"

Zhang Dening nodded at Huang Beijia and the other two, but his eyes flickered around the area and he did not see Feng's young lover, Lao Xu, the author of The Wrangler.

"Sister Dening, can you tell us what department the shepherd Lao Xu is from and what his name is?"

Huang Beijia stepped forward and tried to take the letter from Zhang Dening's hand. He even tried to please her by asking, "By the way, Sister Dening, you must not have eaten yet, right?! Come in, come in, tell me what you like to eat. I'll buy you some food. It's my treat!"

It was lunchtime when Zhang Dening arrived, and Feng Jiayou and the others were preparing to go to the cafeteria to get their meals.

As for the love letter, can we talk about it while we eat?!

"Stop, stop. I won't accept your sugar-coated bullets! You want to know who the author of The Horse Wrangler is? I don't have the guts to make it public. Someone has sealed our mouths and we can't tell anyone!"

Zhang Dening looked at Feng Jiayou with a smile. How could she sell her lover in front of Feng Jiayou!

"But I will definitely personally deliver these love letters to the author of The Shepherd, Old Xu!" Zhang Dening added strangely, "But with so many love letters, can Old Xu read them all?"

Most of the readers' letters are just for fun at first, and they are put aside after reading a few of them. When there are more and more letters from readers, who will read them one by one?
Basically, they are put away untouched or even disposed of directly.

"Sister Dening, this isn't a secret, how can you sugarcoat it? Can you just tell us a little bit?"

"How about you tell us a little bit more about whether you are from the Chinese department?"

Huang Beijia still didn’t give up. Since I couldn’t tell him his name, could he tell me which department he was from?
"Yes! Sister Dening, are you from our Chinese department?" Cha Jianying also asked!
"I can only say that it is on your Yan University's side. Who is it..." Zhang Dening was very embarrassed. He secretly glanced at Feng Jiayou next to him, and seeing that she did not give any hint or expression, he did not say much.

Jingle Bell!
Just when Zhang Dening was about to continue to help conceal the incident, he saw a bicycle coming up ahead. His eyes lit up, and he said jokingly with a smile, "Here, isn't your Wrangler Lao Xu here?"

"What are you talking about? I saw you guys talking and laughing from a distance!?"

It was just dinner time, and Cheng Xuemin rode his bike over from Yanda High School to get Feng Jiayou's meal ticket.

The food at Yanda is good, and not much cheaper than that at the affiliated high school.

So Cheng Xuemin has attended classes for a few days, but he still goes to Yanda for lunch and eats with Feng Jiayou and the others.

"sister!"

There was a sister-in-law on the back seat of the bicycle. Feng Jiamo jumped off the bicycle and said hello to Feng Jiayou.

"Old...Xuemin, you are here too!? Isn't this just about you!? Jiayou is still asking me, who is the shepherd Lao Xu! Isn't her Lao Xu you?! Isn't she your Li Xiuzhi?! You said so!"

Zhang Dening greeted Cheng Xuemin with a smile. She came here specifically to find Cheng Xuemin, the horse herder Lao Xu.

She had gone to the library before, but didn't see Cheng Xuemin. She asked Chen Shumin there, and he said he had gone to Yanda High School for classes.

So Zhang Dening originally planned to go directly to the affiliated high school to look for them, but he didn't expect to see Feng Jiayou and the other two gathered together at the cafeteria entrance, talking and laughing, whispering something, so he went up to say hello.

"Sister Dening, you scared me to death! I thought you were serious just now! The author of The Shepherd, Lao Xu, is my young lover!"

Zhang Dening's joke just now really made Huang Beijia stunned. Looking at the dashing figure riding a bicycle towards him, he was a little dazed!
After he realized what was happening, he questioned Zhang Dening jealously.

"Sister Dening is right. Isn't this Xu Lingjun from my childhood?!" Cha Jianying followed suit and said jokingly, "But our Li Xiuzhi is secretly writing love letters to Old Xu! I wonder if Old Xu knows about this?"

"what!?"

Cheng Xuemin was even more stunned. He thought Feng Jiayou had already confronted her two sisters, but it turned out that this was still not the case?

Seeing that the two of them were making fun of him, Cheng Xuemin also asked Feng Jiayou: "Who did you write a love letter to?!"

"That's not true! Please don't listen to Jianying's nonsense, okay?!" Feng Jiayou was also an acting genius. She pretended to blush and avoided the topic, saying, "Xuemin, you came at the right time. It's dinner time now! I plan to treat Dening Beijia Jianying to a meal. Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course!" Cheng Xuemin nodded quickly and said, "How about we just go to the Changzheng Restaurant outside to eat?! I'll treat you!"

Feng Jiayou and the others hadn't gone in to get their meals yet, so they suggested inviting Zhang Dening to have a meal. She was thinking more about the novella that was snatched away by her mother.

She guessed that Zhang Dening came today, in addition to delivering these letters, more likely to urge him to submit his manuscripts!

But they can't produce the manuscripts!

Why not just invite her to dinner first, and they can talk about the manuscript later. Anyway, they already have a manuscript for the December issue of Yenching Literature, so there is no rush.

She would help her man find some inspiration later and write an article for Zhang Dening's Yanjing Literature. "Let's go to the Changzheng Hotel to eat!"

Huang Beijia and Zha Jianying were stunned when they heard Feng Jiayou's wife's proposal.

It was Huang Beijia who first suggested inviting Zhang Dening to dinner. They originally wanted to treat Zhang Dening to a meal in the cafeteria alone, as they could afford it.

But if we go to the Changzheng Restaurant outside... For the four of them plus Feng's young wife and sister, it would cost at least seven or eight yuan, right?

To be honest, if they were asked to invite us, I would definitely be reluctant.

But the person who came was Zhang Dening, the preliminary editor of Yenching Literature. And Feng Jiayou and his wife had never published a single manuscript there, so they were not considered members of Yenching Literature.

It is not Feng Jiayou and his wife's turn to treat us to this meal!
"Okay! You guys have the final say! But I'll treat you to this meal. Thanks to the help of the horse herder Lao Xu, our editor-in-chief Lao Li approved ten yuan for me to do this activity. I'll treat you guys!"

The ten yuan of funding that Lao Li specially approved for her was originally intended for Zhang Dening to invite Lao Xu and his wife, the authors of The Shepherd, to have a meal!

Now that they happen to be together, why not invite them all together!
Moreover, Zhang Dening felt that she had to catch Feng Jiayou! If she didn't catch Feng Jiayou, she would definitely not be able to catch her lover, the horse herder Lao Xu!
What’s more, they are all lesbians and their ages are not much different, so it’s easier for them to get along with each other!
"Sister Dening, is there any big move by your Yenching Literature? You actually approved special funds for the activities?" Huang Beijia reacted immediately and asked curiously.

"Have you read today's Wenhui Daily? Ding Ling wrote a book review for The Shepherd! You should know what this means, right?"

Even without Huang Beijia asking, Zhang Dening would have said all this, and he would definitely have said it to Feng Jiayou and Cheng Xuemin!

"We've read it. We all read Wenhui Daily. We never thought that Ding Ling would write a book review for The Shepherd, and publish it in Wenhui Daily!" Huang Beijia was still quick to speak, nodding repeatedly.

"Yes! We really didn't expect that Ding Ling would speak so highly of Wrangler!" Zhang Dening also nodded and continued, "So we, Lao Li, plan to strike while the iron is hot and hold a symposium for Wrangler Lao Xu, inviting some well-known people in the circle to exchange ideas and give Wrangler another push!"

"We're going to hold a symposium? The shepherd, Old Xu, will definitely attend, right?! Sister Dening, look at me, look at me and Jianying's kid, can we attend together!?"

"You can just stand aside and watch without saying anything!"

Upon hearing that Yenching Literature was going to hold a symposium for The Shepherd author Lao Xu, Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying were too excited. They jumped up and down, pointed at themselves and asked Zhang Dening if they could attend.
Even if there are no seats, it's fine to stand in the last row or outside the corridor and listen in!
"This... I'm not too sure. I'll ask for you later!"

It’s not that you can’t participate, but you need the nod from the old Xu couple, the horse herders around you! If they don’t nod, it will be difficult for them, Yenching Literature, to invite new authors like Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying.

"Okay, then Sister Dening, you must give us a definite answer when you get back!" Huang Beijia said disappointedly, and Cha Jianying also nodded.

"Want to hold a symposium?!"

Cheng Xuemin was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Yenching Literature would hold a symposium specifically for his Wrangler!

As for today's Wenhui Daily, which published Ding Ling's comments on the Wrangler, Cheng Xuemin knew about it and was very surprised at first.

After all, Ding Ling's status in the literary world is not something that Cheng Xuemin can catch up with with just one, two or three articles like "The Shepherd". He can be said to be a true veteran of the literary world.

Such heavyweight literary veterans generally do not comment on an article easily, not to mention that the Shepherd Lao Xu is a new author.

So, when his sister-in-law Feng Jiamo rushed into his cram school with the Wenhui Daily and told him this at first, Cheng Xuemin was indeed surprised.

But now that Zhang Dening mentioned this, there wasn't much reaction, as the surprise had already passed!
"Yes! I came here specifically to seek Lao Xu's opinion. If there is no problem, we will start planning and arrange a time to invite everyone to sit together and have some discussions!"

Zhang Dening looked at Cheng Xuemin and said with a smile, but it can be seen that the horse herder Lao Xu in front of him just nodded and did not respond, nor did he ask any more questions.

Afterwards, the group of six entered the Changzheng Hotel outside Yanda University. This is the top-notch hospitality hotel near Yanda University, and ordinary students would not be able to afford to eat at this restaurant.

Since Yanjing Literature hosted the dinner, Cheng Xuemin rushed to pay the bill without hesitation. What's wrong with eating her meal? ?

The Wrangler is so popular now, and has brought so much success to Yanjing Literature, so what's wrong with eating her meal? ?

During the break of the meal, Zhang Dening contacted Cheng Xuemin and got a clear answer from Cheng Xuemin that he would attend the symposium and asked Yenching Literature to arrange the time and notify him!
As for the novella, Cheng Xuemin said he was still writing it and would show it to her once it was finished.

For this feast, Zhang Dening was even more enthusiastic about paying for it!

"Jianying, did I see it wrong?! It seems that the big package of readers' letters from Dening was taken away by Jiayou and her husband. Did you see it? " On the way back, Huang Beijia was still a little dazed and asked Cha Jianying beside him uncertainly.

"No! I saw Dening hung those letters on her own bicycle!"

But Cha Jianying shook his head and said something!
"Did I really see it wrong? Didn't Dening hang those letters on her husband's bicycle?"

Huang Beijia continued to shake his head in a daze and spoke uncertainly.

"You drank too much! De Ning suggested that we drink some wine, and you, a schoolgirl, really wanted to drink it!?"

"I'm so drunk!"

Cha Jianying supported Huang Beijia and said with a sullen smile! He was also doubting himself in his heart, it shouldn't be that serious, right?

Those letters were from readers of The Horse Wrangler. Zhang Dening sent them to Lao Xu, the author of The Horse Wrangler. How could they be hanging on Jia You’s beloved bicycle?
Huang Beijia must have drunk too much wine and his eyes are dazzled!
