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

Chapter 94 Come on, let’s hurt each other (ask for monthly tickets)

"Old Qian, The Shepherd was indeed written by Xiao Cheng! As for the fact that he is the son-in-law of Mr. Gu and Mr. Feng, I just heard you mention it!"

Ding Ling spread his hands, not understanding what the fuss was about? !
Couldn’t the son-in-law of Mr. Gu and Mr. Feng be Mr. Xu, the author of “The Shepherd”?
Ding Ling, this is normal!
Everyone in their circle knows what kind of family background Gu Xueqing and Lao Feng have. If the Lao Feng family were to choose a son-in-law, they would definitely have high standards and requirements.

It's normal for their son-in-law to write "The Horse Herder"! If he can't, that's a bit abnormal!
"Xiao Cheng, did you really write "The Horse Herder"? Are you hiding it from me?"

Lao Qian lives in Bengbu!

He finally understood why his mother-in-law, Teacher Gu, such a proud woman, was competing with Li Qingquan's Yenching Literature and even provoked him, Old Qian, to comment on "The Shepherd".

Old Qian obeyed the instructions and, in order to please Teacher Gu, he took the initiative to make a profound criticism of Li Qingquan and his colleagues' Yenching Literature manuscript.

But what I got in return was that Teacher Gu’s eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not a nose!
At that time, Lao Qian was still wondering if his criticism was not profound enough. He thought about continuing with the symposium today and making it more profound to ensure that his mother-in-law would be satisfied.

So in the end... that's it?!

Lao Qian finally figured it out, but he couldn't hold it in any longer!

You, Gu Xueqing, want Lao Qian to write a review for her son-in-law and praise him to death. Just say it clearly!
You're asking me to guess what's going on. Aren't you going to kill me?
"Mr. Qian, Mr. Qian... I really have my own difficulties. I have no choice but to give you a pack of Daqianmen as a gift. We can put this matter behind us, okay?"

Cheng Xuemin was in a dilemma. His mother-in-law was very cunning. She knew that there would be a major car rollover scene today, so she didn't dare to come!

But he left Cheng Xuemin here alone, and only begged Mr. Qian, who was a heavy smoker, to let him go for the sake of a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes!
"You kid...you kid...you think you can fool an old man like me with just a pack of Daqianmen?"

"At least one!"

Old Qian was so angry that he was getting ahead of himself. It turned out that the surprise that Li Qingquan and this kid's mother-in-law mentioned was waiting here!

The new author who wrote "The Horse Shepherd" turned out to be this guy in front of me.

Just now he was outside the yard, still thinking that the son-in-law of the old Feng family was naive and stupid. Li Qingquan was just being polite, but he took it seriously!
He even braved such a heavy snowstorm and came here to make a fool of the Feng family!

Who would have thought that it would end up like this!
This guy is the absolute protagonist of today's symposium. The Wrangler was actually written by this guy!
Angry!

Living in the front and back yards, this kid didn't know anything about this, causing Old Qian to be kept in a state of excitement by this old guy Li Qingquan!
"Okay, okay, one by one! When I get the manuscript fee, I will write one for you as soon as possible!"

Just one at a time!

After returning, Cheng Xuemin still had to think of a way to get a cigarette ticket, otherwise he would not be able to buy it even if he had money.

"Xuemin, you have kept it a secret from me for a long time. I have to have at least one answer, right?"

Liu Xinwu also smiled bitterly and joined in the joking.

"Teacher Liu, that one... go find my mother-in-law! She said she's keeping it from you for now because she's afraid you won't be able to accept it!"

Cheng Xuemin would never admit Liu Xinwu's statement no matter what!

If you want, go find his mother-in-law!
"You guys... you really made it so hard to hide it from me. I really can't accept it for the time being!"

"Tell me, Xiao Cheng is Mr. Gu's favorite son-in-law, why didn't he give his work "The Shepherd" to his mother-in-law's "October"?"

"And this new episode of "The Grass Is Green", I want to ask you, Xiao Cheng, how did your mother-in-law let you go?"

Yes!

What Liu Xinwu said makes a lot of sense. How could a mother-in-law let go of such a "traitorous" son-in-law?

"No, you all know about it!?" Li Qingquan felt something was wrong when Teacher Ding greeted Cheng Xuemin!
How did Teacher Ding Ling, who just returned to Beijing, get to know Cheng Xuemin?

Moreover, when they first met, the warm greetings did not seem like a casual acquaintance, but rather gave people the feeling of a true student-teacher relationship! ?

And Liu Xinwu, Old Liu, also greeted Cheng Xuemin directly without the need for Li Qingquan to introduce him!
What is going on?!
Not only did Yenching Literature keep the secret a secret, but Cheng Xuemin even kept it a secret from his mother-in-law, and even Old Qian, who lived in his front yard, was unaware of it!

But how did Ding Ling and Liu Xinwu, who were the ones least supposed to know, know this? !

and!

Li Qingquan also keenly discovered that Ding Ling and Liu Xinwu only knew that Cheng Xuemin was the author of "The Shepherd", but did not know that he was Gu Xueqing's son-in-law.

What's going on here?

"Tsk! You, Old Li, are the only one who hides things well, right?!"

"No matter how well you, Old Li, hide it, you can't change the fact that Xuemin is our October's son-in-law!"

Liu Xinwu was also very happy when he saw Li Qingquan was surprised. Wasn't it because he kept it secret?
How are you now? Are you dumbfounded?
"Then Teacher Gu was still pretending to me that day?!" Li Qingquan was also completely exhausted and asked Cheng Xuemin again, "Xuemin, didn't you dare to mention it to your mother-in-law?"

"Teacher Li, if you confess, you will be treated leniently, but if you resist, you will be treated harshly. Actually, the pressure on my husband and I is very great!"

Cheng Xuemin shrugged. It was all his wife Feng Jiayou's fault. Now that she couldn't come, Cheng Xuemin, as her husband, had to take full responsibility!

"That's right, I understand!"

Li Qingquan put himself in the other's shoes and nodded repeatedly. This was perfectly normal!

If I keep it a secret, that would be abnormal! Later, Teacher Gu would have to pick up a knife and fight with Li Qingquan.

"In that case, Lao Liu, we won't pretend anymore! I recently got another manuscript from Xuemin!"

“And it’s a long novella!”

Since you are not pretending anymore, Li Qingquan won't be polite either. He'll reveal his cards!

Didn't you, Liu Xinwu, clamor that Cheng Xuemin was the son-in-law of your October? Well, I'm sorry, but he, Yenching Literature, now has a long novel in his hands, in addition to the front-page headlines of the previous two issues.

All of these are manuscripts provided by your October son-in-law!

More than 200,000 words, Li Qingquan plans to publish it in two installments, all of which will be on the front page, making you, Old Liu, envious! "Yeah, I know, Old Li, in fact, if you didn't mention this long novella, I really couldn't bear to hit you!"

What Li Qingquan didn't expect was that Liu Xinwu didn't react at all after hearing his proud words.

He nodded repeatedly and spoke as if he didn't care at all. It seemed as if he knew this long novel.

"You know this long novella in my hand!?"

"Xuemin, did you tell him?!"

Li Qingquan fell into confusion again and was a little confused about what was going on!

Does Liu Xinwu know about the long novel in his hands?

But if he knew, how could it fall into the hands of Yenching Literature? Is Liu Xinwu a good person?
They will definitely be robbed!

But the final problem was that this long novella really came into his hands. It was delivered personally by his son-in-law and daughter, October, who rode their bicycles in the cold weather!

Does this make sense?

Even if Li Qingquan had ten heads, he would not be able to figure it out.

"Don't ask Xuemin!" Liu Xinwu took over the topic and said with a smug look on his face, "What did Teacher Gu say that day? She asked the author of the Wrangler to write two new manuscripts!"

"I really didn't believe it at the time. You, Mr. Li, kept the author of The Wrangler so secretive that I couldn't find out no matter how hard I tried. But Teacher Gu found out!"

"Not only did I find out, but I actually got two manuscripts!"

"Really, I didn't believe it at first!"

"It wasn't until I went to see Mr. Wu that day, with Teacher Ding Ling also there, that I really believed it!"

"Teacher Gu just got two manuscripts from the author of The Shepherd. At that time, Teacher Gu was really patient and didn't even tell the author of The Shepherd, Lao Xu, that he was her son-in-law!"

Feeling so proud of himself, Liu Xinwu thought about it and smiled bitterly. Now everything fits together!

No wonder Mr. Gu was able to get the manuscripts of The Horse Wrangler author Lao Xu so easily, and he got two manuscripts at once.

Li Qingquan listened to Liu Xinwu's boasting and asked in disbelief, "Two articles!?"

"You mean this novella of mine is what you, Old Liu, picked up?!"

But thinking about the quality of this novella, Li Qingquan still couldn't believe it and asked: "This novella is what you picked up. What about the manuscript you left behind, Lao Liu?"

"Uh! Actually, I can't say I just picked up the leftovers! In fact, I wanted to keep all of the two articles!"

"But Teacher Gu refused to let me. He said that the author of The Shepherd has already agreed to give the novella to Yanjing Literature. I can't keep it even if I want to. So it can only be given to you, Old Li!"

This also makes sense. Why would Teacher Gu be willing to return one of the two manuscripts he had agreed to submit?

It turned out that this was her son-in-law's manuscript. She couldn't let her son-in-law break his promise to Li Qingquan of Yenching Literature!

"Old Liu, you are so greedy! With your October issue, can you digest two articles from Xuemin?"

"And one of them is a long novel with more than 200,000 words!"

Li Qingquan felt much better at least because it wasn't the leftovers. If this was what Liu Xinwu had picked out, then this novella would really not be interesting at all!
“So, we chose a better one!”

Liu Xinwu choked someone to death and it really wasn’t worth it. In a nutshell, it was just the leftovers.

"How good is it?"

"I don't believe there can be a better novella than mine!"

Li Qingquan really didn't believe that the article selected by Liu Xinwu was definitely better than the one from Yenching Literature!
“I can’t really say how good it is!”

"Anyway... Lao Li, haven't you been asking around recently? What do you think?"

Liu Xinwu continued to show off and slowly led the way to this point, and finally asked Li Qingquan a direct question!
"Liu Xinwu! Don't tell me it's your atomic bomb!?"

What the hell!

Li Qingquan also reacted. Hadn't he been asking about Liu Xinwu's atomic bomb before?
But this guy is also a thief. He hides really deeply and tightly, and not even a little air can get through!
Teacher Gu was much nicer a few days ago, and I advised him to ask less!

That tone... Li Qingquan was scared and felt that something serious had happened!

But the more this happens, the more it proves that the atomic bomb developed by "October" is so terrifying, and the more I want to know!

I was wondering if they would give some information in advance at today's symposium, but I didn't expect him to reveal it all!

Not only did they throw everything away, but they also stated explicitly that the atomic bomb in their hands was actually made for them by Lao Xu, the author of the Yenching Literature book The Shepherd!

I rely on me, I rely on me...

Li Qingquan cursed repeatedly in his mind until he figured it all out!

No wonder Liu Xinwu and teacher Ding Ling greeted Cheng Xuemin warmly as soon as he came in!
They know them all!
They were all involved in that atomic bomb!

Professor Ding Ling even mentioned Mr. Mao just now. Did Mr. Mao also contribute to Liu Xinwu’s atomic bomb?
"Old Li, it's good that you know about it, but don't spread it around. After all, I haven't posted it yet!"

Liu Xinwu really should stop being too cocky. Even Ding Ling standing next to him felt that this boy was a little too cocky!
"Is it really that atomic bomb?!"
