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

Chapter 95: Identity Exposed, Are You Teacher Gu's Son-in-Law? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Lao Li, please don't look at me with such resentment. She is my mother-in-law and I have no choice!
Seeing Li Qingquan looking at him with eyes full of endless resentment, Cheng Xuemin panicked and moved his butt towards Teacher Ding Ling!
He was afraid that Old Li would rush over, grab his clothes and roar in anger: "You gave the atomic bomb to Liu Xinwu but not to me? How have I, Li Qingquan, ever let you down?"

Fortunately, a few more people came into the office at this time!
"What atomic bomb? Lao Li, we were outside the corridor and heard you shouting 'atomic bomb'?"

Cheng Xuemin didn’t know the person who walked in front and talked to him!
However, there were quite a lot of people following him, four or five, and one of them was someone Cheng Xuemin knew, his brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao!
This was something Cheng Xuemin had not expected!

Neither his father-in-law nor his mother-in-law came to his symposium, but his brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao came!
"They are all here!"

"Old Li, Old Zhang, Old Yang, Old Xie, Xiao Feng..." Li Qingquan greeted them one by one. When it was finally his eldest brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao's turn, Li Qingquan nodded at him and said with a wry smile, "Xiao Feng, your mother has kept it a secret from me! You have kept it a secret from me too!"

"Don't tell me that your brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin is the author of The Shepherd, Lao Xu. How can you, as the eldest brother-in-law, not know about this?"

When the elder brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao came in, he saw his brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin at first sight. He nodded as a greeting, but he didn't expect that Li Qingquan from Yenching Literature would question him.

He looked at Cheng Xuemin on the spot. What was going on? Was this a showdown?
My parents are not here either, so how did it get exposed?

But when he saw Old Qian in the front yard, squinting his eyes at him, Feng Jiazhao was suddenly shocked. With Old Qian around, is there anything he can hide?
He immediately looked at Cheng Xuemin and asked him how he could justify himself. But he was waiting for his brother-in-law, who looked miserable and had no desire to live!
Row!
This brother-in-law is a responsible man. He can really take on everything. Let him take on everything today!
Feng Jiazhao didn't have much to bear, so he said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Teacher Li, it's mainly because Xuemin is a low-key person, so we'd better not say anything that might affect his preparations for the college entrance examination next year!"

hiss!
OK, my brother-in-law is very good, he can pass the buck so cleanly, Cheng Xuemin rolled his eyes when he heard it! Brother-in-law, didn’t you see that I was winking at you? I told you to push all the blame onto your mother, Cheng Xuemin’s mother-in-law!
“Keep a low profile…keep a low profile…”

Li Qingquan was choked to the point of vomiting blood. If his brother-in-law had kept a low profile, he would not have been able to create two large satellites in just over a month.

And one of them was an atomic bomb.

"Oh my god, Mr. Qian Ding, you are all really here?!"

After saying goodbye to Li Qingquan and the others, the people who came in saw Lao Qian and Ding Ling sitting inside, and they couldn't help but ask in shock.

"Oh, you, Li Shuguang, can come, but I, Old Qian, can't?!"

Old Qian glanced at Li Shuguang from the Humanities Society and said something with a curled lip. Ding Ling followed Li Shuguang and the others in and nodded slightly without saying anything.

"We are very interested in this! Old Qian, you haven't contributed to our People's Literature for some time!" Li Shuguang from Renwen Publishing House sat down and asked Li Qingquan again, "Old Li, what's the matter? Is Old Xu, the author of The Shepherd, Xiao Feng's brother-in-law? "

"Isn't that Lao Feng's son-in-law, Lao Liu, the son-in-law of your October teacher Gu? Is this... true or false?"

"What? Lao Xu, the author of The Horse Wrangler, is Lao Feng's beloved son-in-law. Why haven't I heard Lao Feng mention him before?!" Chinese literature editor Lao Yang also exclaimed.

"This is quite interesting! Teacher Gu's son-in-law's book "The Shepherd" was not given to Teacher Gu's October magazine, but to your Yenching Literature magazine, Old Li. Teacher Gu probably doesn't know about it yet, right?" Old Zhang from People's Literature was also surprised and soon sensed that there was something fishy going on here.

"Lao Zhang, please don't bring up this irrelevant topic. I'm sitting here!"

When it comes to this, Liu Xinwu retorted in an unpleasant tone.

"Oh my god, Lao Liu, you're here! I thought no one from October would come!" Lao Zhang from People's Literature came over, got along well with Liu Xinwu, and asked, "Why, isn't Teacher Gu here? If she came, wouldn't it be more lively?"

"Xiao Feng, this must be your brother-in-law, Lao Xu, the horse herder, right?"

The last person to speak was the one Li Qingquan called "Old Xie". He was Xie Jin from the Shanghai Film Studio. He had come to Beijing to contact Yanying Studio to discuss the preparations for the filming of "The Shepherd"!

It just so happened that Yenching Literature was holding a symposium for "The Shepherd", so Xie Jin came over to join in the fun. It was also a way to contact Yenching Literature, the author of "The Shepherd", and to talk to the author himself.

I really didn't expect that the author of The Horse Wrangler would be Feng Jiazhao's brother-in-law. This guy never mentioned it to him before. He was really tight-lipped.

"Okay! You don't need me to introduce you anymore. This young comrade Cheng Xuemin is the author of our "The Shepherd". This issue of our Yanjing Literature "The Grass Heart" was also written by him!"

"By the way, Xuemin is also Xiao Feng's brother-in-law, and the son-in-law of Old Feng Gu. We are old acquaintances, so there is no need for me to introduce him to you.

Li Qingquan was in a very miserable mood and didn't want to continue the polite conversation. He simply interrupted and introduced Cheng Xuemin to everyone.

He introduced Cheng Xuemin again: "Xuemin, let me introduce you!"

"This is Li Shuguang from the People's Literature Publishing House. We also call him Lao Li. He is responsible for the publication of the single volume of The Shepherd!"

"Hello, Teacher Li!" Cheng Xuemin had already stood up and quickly nodded in greeting.

"Hello, Xiao Cheng, I've heard of your great name for a long time!" Li Shuguang nodded and said with a smile.

"This is Zhang Guangnian from People's Literature, and this is Lao Yang from Chinese Literature, your father-in-law's company. I don't need to introduce your brother-in-law. He is from Yanying Studio and was originally here to discuss the film adaptation of The Shepherd. I'm sure you already know about it!"

Cheng Xuemin also greeted them one by one, thinking that they were all big names in the literary world, and that he could rely on them for a prosperous future.

"I have to introduce this person in particular, Xie Jin, who came here specially from Shanghai!"

"Old Xie is a professional director from the Shanghai Film Studio. You must have seen The Red Detachment of Women. He shot it!"

"This trip to the north is also to discuss the film adaptation of The Horse Herder. He is the first director!"

Li Qingquan finally introduced Xie Jin from the Shanghai Film Studio to Cheng Xuemin. After all, a friend who came from afar to the north must be treated with great respect.

"Hello, Director Xie. I grew up watching your movies. I have heard of your name for a long time and I am honored to meet you today!"

This is also the God of Wealth. If Cheng Xuemin wants to adapt more novels in the future, it is very necessary for him to have a good relationship with this great director.

"Xiao Cheng, I have also heard of your great name for a long time! I am also honored to be invited to direct your masterpiece this time!"

Xie Jin was not arrogant. He held Cheng Xuemin's hands in the same way, shook hands and said with a smile.

"Well, everyone, Mr. Qian, it's almost time, let's go into the meeting room and get started?" Li Qingquan looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock!
After a quick look around, he found that almost everyone who should have arrived had arrived, so he proposed that the symposium begin and also asked a question to Mr. Qian.

"I don't care!"

Old Qian nodded indifferently. At the moment, he was feeling conflicted and anxious. Should he use the manuscript he had written for the speech at the symposium?

The manuscript was very sharp, and it was meant to flatter Li Qingquan and ease the relationship between him and Lao Feng.

But who knows!

The author of "The Horse Shepherd" is actually their son-in-law. Should we continue to criticize him deeply?

"Okay, okay! Teacher Ding, Mr. Li, Mr. Xie, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Yang, let's go over there and start. There are already quite a few colleagues waiting there!"

Li Qingquan will not delay any further and invite these authoritative figures from various units into the conference room!

Cheng Xuemin and his elder brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao followed at the back.

"After the meeting, I've made an appointment with Lao Xie, and we'll continue our chat!"

"By the way, Xuemin, how is your script going?"

Brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao asked in a low voice.

"Okay, big brother! I've already finished the first draft of the script, but I've left it at home!"

Cheng Xuemin didn't expect that he had to hand in his homework to the director today, so he didn't bring the first draft of the script with him.

"Finished writing? So quickly?!" Feng Jiazhao was stunned when he heard that. It's only been a few days?

The script sample he brought back from work was only given to Xuemin not long ago, right?

It only took about a week to complete a movie script?
"Okay, I'll help you look after we get back. Old Xie can stay in Yanjing for a while, so there's no rush!"

Feng Jiazhao was stunned, then nodded and said no more.

After Cheng Xuemin and his friends entered the conference room, they found that there were indeed already more than a dozen people sitting there waiting.

Others from Yenching Literature, such as Zhou Yanru, Zhang De, Ning Bailing and others, were here to receive them!

A banner was also hung: "The Shepherd" short literary work symposium, hosted by "Yenching Literature".

After a brief and humble introduction, I learned that these are basically editors, writers, critics, etc. from various newspapers, magazines and units in Yanjing!
Inside the conference room, there is a long conference table, and there are a circle of office desks outside, which can accommodate all the more than 30 people in the conference room.

There were nameplates with the names of various units and guests on the tables. Everyone sat down in turn, with tea cups placed on the tables in front of them.

The person sitting first was of course the one with the highest prestige present, Lao Qian, whom Li Qingquan had spent a lot of effort to invite. Following closely was Teacher Ding Ling and Li Shuguang from Renwen Press.

The host Li Qingquan, as the host, sat at the side of the front row. Cheng Xuemin, the rising star and author of "The Shepherd", was arranged to sit next to him.

After seeing that everyone was in their seats, the host Li Qingquan began his speech and said some words of thanks!
The symposium officially began, followed by speeches from various units.

The first person to speak was not Mr. Qian, the chairman, but an editor from the Yenching Daily. She opened her speech with a favorable comment on The Horse Shepherd.

What followed was almost the same. While commenting, I also had a lot of interactions with the author Cheng Xuemin.

After lunch at halftime, everyone took a break and the symposium continued at two o'clock.

When it was Ding Ling's turn, it was a heavyweight statement, just like what she had published before in Wenhui Daily. She first highly praised "The Shepherd" and then encouraged the author Cheng Xuemin.

Finally, a big news was revealed: "Comrade Cheng Xuemin, the author of The Wrangler, will soon publish another breakthrough masterpiece, please pay attention!"

In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire symposium reached a climax.

The inside information about the atomic bomb was also spread soon after, making the editors of various newspapers and magazines present all eager to get the atomic bomb revealed by Teacher Ding.

When it was Lao Qian's turn to speak, Ding Ling, who had just put down the microphone, made a rare joke and said to Lao Qian: "Lao Qian, I heard that the article you prepared this time is even more sharp and profound than your previous review?"

“Rethinking literature!”

"Xuemin's article 'The Horse Herder' is exactly as you commented, Lao Qian. We need to reflect on it!"

When various units gave comments before, many of them mentioned "Reflective Literature" and characterized Cheng Xuemin's "The Shepherd" as the pioneering work of reflective literature.

Many people present nodded in agreement, but perhaps because their level was not high enough, their voices were a little low.

Maybe they were all waiting for Mr. Qian’s final speech. After all, he was the first to propose reflective literature, and he is a heavyweight authority.

"You! Just put me on the fire rack!"

Old Qian glanced at Ding Ling miserably and muttered something under his breath.

Then he took the microphone handed to him by Li Qingquan, coughed twice, and began to speak!
