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

Chapter 76 I was just trying to scare her (asking for monthly tickets)
"And Sister Linzi, due to political requirements, the identity of Lao Xu, the author of Scholars and Horse Herders, should not be made public yet, so Sister Linzi, just keep it to yourself, and don't spread it around!"

Pack!
This time, Feng Jiayou really got what he wanted!
And she plans to pretend not just this once. She even dares to use political means to ask Zhu Lin to keep it secret and not spread it. She will have to continue pretending later!

"Political demands? What political demands? No, no, don't worry, I won't spread any rumors!"

Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment. What Feng Jiayou said to her was so unbelievable that she couldn't react for a while!

And it has even risen to the level of a political demand. What is going on?

"Xuemin, did you really write The Shepherd? Are you really Lao Xu, the author of The Shepherd?"

After a long time, Zhu Lin finally came to her senses and looked at Cheng Xuemin and asked.

"Ahem... I just wrote it randomly! I didn't expect it to be so popular..."

Cheng Xuemin was still embarrassed by Feng Jiayou's pretense, and when Zhu Lin asked him about it, he could only answer modestly and shyly.

"If you can write so well even if you write casually, then if you write seriously... you must be able to write an atomic bomb!?"

Zhu Lin smiled foolishly and said to Feng Jiayou, "Your husband is a little too modest, and you, Jiayou, are a little too pretentious. You two are really not from the same family!"

"Hehe, isn't it Sister Linzi who asked? I can tell you, I didn't tell anyone else!"

"Besides our family, the only one who knows that Xuemin is Lao Xu, the author of The Wrangler, is you, Sister Linzi!"

Feng Jiayou hugged Zhu Lin's arm and said with great pride that he was almost jumping for joy.

"Then shouldn't I be very honored? You just happened to come to your house tonight, and you told me the first thing you did?" Zhu Lin also began to feel a little proud, thinking that Feng Jiayou really treated her as his own sister and told her instead of anyone else.

However, what exactly the political demands were had to be kept secret and could not be spread around. Curious, Zhu Lin asked, "What political demands..."

"Sister Linzi, you really can't talk nonsense about this. Anyway, you will know in a few days!"

"Sister Linzi, please don't spread rumors these days. I'm not kidding!"

Feng Jiayou shook his head repeatedly. The author of The Shepherd could be allowed to spread the story, but the leadership mission of "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office" must not be spread at all.

Now even her family members know that Cheng Xuemin has a manuscript to be published and that the superiors attach great importance to it.

But as to the specific content, my brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao has not revealed a single word yet, let alone Zhu Lin, an outsider!
Of course, Feng Jiayou also took advantage of the power of others and used the leadership task of "Director Qiao's Inauguration" to ask Zhu Lin to keep her Wrangler a secret so that she could continue to pretend to be powerful later!
No matter what, I have to get through this weekend because I have to go to the auditorium to watch a movie on Saturday.

If Zhu Lin spreads the news now, will we still watch the movie on Saturday?
With so many female students in Yenching University, wouldn’t they all rush into Feng Jiayu’s dormitory to snatch men?
"is it so serious!?"

Zhu Lin looked at Cheng Xuemin with more and more surprise, thinking to himself, is this guy from northern Shaanxi really so powerful and awesome?
"Sister Linzi, please remove that word 'ma'!"

Feng Jiayou nodded repeatedly, and after pretending to be cool, he threw the topic to Feng Jiamo and said, "Feng Jiamo, tell Sister Linzi about the rest. Did you tell Shanshan about the letter that Shanshan wrote to your brother-in-law?"

"She didn't ask you, how do you know where the letter came from?"

Zhu Shan wrote a love letter to Lao Xu, the author of The Shepherd. Why did it end up in the hands of Feng Jiamo? What did Feng Jiamo tell Zhu Shan?
"I asked!" Feng Jiamo rolled her eyes at her sister. She let her say all the pretentious words, and now she wants to blame her. What kind of person is she!
"Then what did you tell Shanshan? You didn't tell her that Lao Xu, the author of The Wrangler, is your brother-in-law, right?"

"Feng Jiamo, let me tell you that the higher-ups' political requirements are that your brother-in-law's pseudonym information must not be spread or disclosed. You didn't spread it, did you?"

Feng Jiayou also reacted. Not to mention Feng Jiamo, she had already given up everything with her sister and classmate Zhu Shan!

"Tsk, I didn't dare say anything bad about your boss Cheng!" Feng Jiamo pursed his lips, feeling bored!

"Then how did you explain it to Zhu Shan?" Feng Jiayou asked relentlessly.

"Isn't that easy?! Just tell Shanshan that the author of The Wrangler, Lao Xu, is now a famous author, a great man! How can he have the time and energy to date a little brat like you? "

"This great author, this great person, didn't even read the letter, and just returned it to you intact!"

"That's what I said! Is that okay?"

It was not easy to deal with Zhu Shan, that dull girl. He just said, "I've returned it to you intact," and sent Zhu Shan away. Zhu Shan was so aggrieved that she cried on the rooftop for more than an hour.

"That's more like it!" Feng Jiayou nodded. He was quite satisfied with Feng Jiamo's answer.

"Jiamo, Shanshan didn't ask you, why did you accept the returned letter?!"

Zhu Lin was confused. Is there anything wrong here?
It was a love letter written by her sister Zhu Shan to the shepherd. Even if it was returned intact, shouldn't her sister Zhu Shan be the recipient?
How could the Feng family send her sister away with just a few words?

"Shanshan is a coward! She has the guts to write a love letter but not her own name. She wrote my name and used my name to write a love letter to my brother-in-law. When my sister and mother received her love letter yesterday, they almost beat me to death!"

She gets angry whenever she mentions Feng Jiamo. She is angry with Zhu Shan for the same reason. He has the guts to write but doesn't have the guts to sign his real name. He uses her name, Feng Jiamo's, to write a love letter. He is so slutty and he almost killed her, Feng Jiamo!
"This... Shanshan wrote it under your name?"

The corners of Zhu Lin's mouth twitched violently, and her mind was filled with everything that could have happened at the Feng family last night.

The sister-in-law secretly wrote a love letter to her brother-in-law. Wouldn't this directly cause the Feng family to go crazy?
She also secretly thought that her sister was really good at playing, and she managed to accidentally create such a big bomb for their Feng family.

"What else?? So I'm going to scare her today. Tonight my sister and mother will bring her love letter to your house to confront her face to face!"

"Obviously Zhu Shan is scared and is hiding!"
-
She was indeed hiding. Later, even the entire Feng family came out to help Zhu Lin's family find Zhu Shan!
Finally, Zhu Shan was found in a dark alley in Feng’s house!
People are smart!
She had been hiding at Feng's house, watching their every move. Whenever Feng's mother or her eldest sister Feng Jiayou went out, she would go to their house to confront her. She was so confused and anxious that she hid and waited. She also saw her sister Zhu Lin go to Feng's house to find her and it took a long time for her to come out. Zhu Shan was even more scared!

It must be Feng Jiamo's family who has told her sister about the love letter! ?
Finally, a wild cat jumped down and landed right next to Zhu Shan, scaring the timid girl so much that she screamed. Cheng Xuemin heard the noise and ran out, and then he found the person.

Of course Cheng Xuemin couldn't tell the frightened girl that he was Lao Xu, the author of the horse she wrote the love letter to express her love for.

Later, Zhu Lin came and took her sister back, and obviously she was criticized and educated.

After a farce, peace returned again!

Cheng Xuemin also secretly hid the remittance slip of 190 yuan without being discovered by Feng Jiayou.

In the next few days, Cheng Xuemin was either revising the manuscript or on his way to revising it!
It took almost three days!

After Cheng Xuemin had revised and polished "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office", he gave it to his mother-in-law, Feng Mu, and asked her to take it to "October" and have the editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu send it to the department for review.

Cheng Xuemin also started working on the novella without stopping, and finally finished it successfully on Saturday!

There are more than 230,000 words in this work. Based on the maximum price of 7 yuan per thousand words, how much will the manuscript fee be?

More than one thousand six hundred!

The money-loving little Feng Jiayou had already calculated everything for him and had been eagerly waiting for it.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no class on Saturday morning, Feng Jiayou urged Cheng Xuemin to take her to Yenching Literature to hand in the novella and get the royalties as soon as possible.

"Is that novella finished as well?"

When leaving the house in the morning, because Feng Jiayou was always chattering, mother-in-law Feng Mu also knew that the novella in Cheng Xuemin's hand was also finished!

He couldn't help but look at his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin's right hand in surprise, wondering how he could train his hand speed to be so fast?

It’s been about a month since her prospective son-in-law came to Yanjing that day, right?
Just one month!
He couldn't help but write two extremely excellent short stories, "The Shepherd" and "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office". I heard that Li Qingquan of Yenching Literature has another short story in his hand, which he is preparing to give to his son-in-law to make the front page headlines in this issue.

Including today's novella, the four manuscripts together should be nearly 300,000 words, right?

Ten thousand a day, handwritten?

Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, rolled her eyes. The speed of his hands was so terrifying that she couldn't even imagine it!
Of course, this also directly shows that her son-in-law is very hardworking, motivated and excellent!

"Mom, I've finished writing it! I'm thinking of sending it to Yanjing Literature today, and have it approved as soon as possible so I can start writing the script for The Shepherd!"

Cheng Xuemin nodded and agreed to his mother-in-law!
"Well, OK! Don't try too hard. Just write the script for The Horse Herder if you can. Don't force yourself. Let your big brother make a sample for you first, and then you can polish the draft!"

Feng's mother began to feel sorry for this son-in-law who was not very ambitious, and kept giving him advice.

"Mom, I'll try to write it first. If it doesn't work, I'll definitely ask my brother for help!"

"Xuemin, hurry up, come here!"

Feng Jiayou outside was getting impatient waiting. Cheng Xuemin nodded to her mother, quickly pushed his bicycle out, and said, "Coming, coming!"

"What did you say to mom just now? Did she really not ask you to give the manuscript to them in October?"

Feng Jiayou took a look at his house and asked Cheng Xuemin in a sly tone.

The manuscript was in her schoolbag, a thick book. She ran out early, fearing that her mother would change her mind at the last minute and want to take the novella away and leave it to her as "October"!
But the same thing goes, October is a monthly magazine, which is only published once every two months, and it can't keep up with the speed of her man's hand!
If we really want them to publish this novella in October, we’ll have to wait until after the New Year!

Moreover, the funding for each issue of "October" is not that sufficient. She didn't use the manuscript before the New Year, so it was wishful thinking to expect them to settle the royalties before the New Year!
So I'm sorry, I can only give it to Yenching Literature. Zhang Dening said last time that if the manuscript is given to Yenching Literature, it may not be published until January next year, but the royalties will definitely be paid before the end of the year.

That’s no problem!
With the more than 1,600 yuan in royalties for this novella, plus Feng Jiayou's current secret fund of more than 1,000 yuan, if her husband's script for "The Shepherd" can be adapted and written before the end of the year, she can get another 2,000 yuan in adaptation royalties!
If you add them all up, it’s definitely four or five thousand yuan, so it’s not impossible to buy a house!

"Mom didn't say that, but there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes!"

Cheng Xuemin pushed his bicycle and smiled at Feng Jiayou. He pretended not to notice the reluctance in his mother-in-law's eyes.

"It's not like there's nothing later. My mom is like that!"

"By the way, let's call Dening and Bai Ling later and go to the movies together tonight?"

"Isn't it... bad to yell at them?!"

"What's wrong with that? It's more fun with more people!"

"Wife, if you keep playing like this, you'll really be left with no friends. How about inviting Huang Beijia, Cha Jianying and the others to have lunch at noon and just settle the matter?"

"I'll treat you to a meal, but I don't want to show my cards... Let's talk about it in the evening!"
