Exciting 1979!

Chapter 170 Amin and Amin are in love and have a good relationship (at least 1 update)
Biaozi and Xiaomei are not the only ones who went from Yanjing to the south to do business. To be honest, they are latecomers in this industry, and their scale is not large, and they are not working full-time.

But the Hutong youth Jia Aiguo works full-time as a trader and has to go to the south twice a month.

While Mei Wenhua and his friends were still considering how to avoid the train police, he had already established connections on the train and was shipping goods over by carload.

A large portion of the bell-bottom pants and frog-eye glasses that are now popular in Yanjing City are his products, but he does not sell them himself.

While Mei Wenhua and others were still secretly rejoicing about being a household with an income of 1,000 yuan, Jia Aiguo had already become a household with an income of 10,000 yuan last year.

What prompted him to take the first step was Wei Ming's "The Duck Knows the River Water Is Warm in Spring", which says "The brave ones enjoy the world first."

It was not until he received a package from Peking University that day that he remembered that his confused self had written a letter to Wei Ming and put all the Sichuan and Chongqing food coupons he had used when he went to the countryside in the letter.

Although Wei Ming did not reply to his letter at that time, he also understood that many confused readers were probably writing to Wei Ming at that time, but it was impossible for him to reply.

I didn’t expect that after half a year, I would get a response from him, and it contained a book.

"Animals Are Fierce" is a collection of all Wei Ming's short and medium-length works since his debut. It contains his signature, a seal of "Gouzi Wei Ming" and a message "I hope you are no longer confused".

This deeply moved Jia Aiguo, who was now worth a lot of money, and he immediately sent one of his men on a tricycle to the nearby Xinhua Bookstore to buy the book so that he could give it as a gift.

However, I only brought back two books when I came back.

"What do you mean, there are only two left?"

Younger brother: "No, they said that because it's selling so well, they've limited the purchase. Each person can only buy two copies at most."

Jia Aiguo smiled and said, "Then it seems I don't need to do anything!"

Readers like Jia Aiguo who have become wealthy are definitely a minority, but most of the readers who received Wei Ming's autographed books originally came from wealthy families.

For example, a girl named Xu Ye, 18 years old this year, was born in a diplomatic family of Yenching University. She is a fan of Wei Ming's poetry. Last year, on impulse, she not only sent food coupons, but also stuffed a huge sum of five yuan, hoping to make friends with Wei Ming.

As a result, the letter fell on deaf ears, and she was disappointed for a while. After that, although she also read Wei Ming's new works, she was not as fascinated as at the beginning.

I didn't expect that when I just came back from school today, I received a package from my sister. When I opened it, I found that it was the first book signed by Wei Ming that he sent to me!

Originally Xu Ye was still hesitating whether to follow the crowd and buy a copy for collection, but he didn't expect that he actually sent himself a copy. He actually still remembered himself!

Xu Ye, who had learned dancing since elementary school, happily spun around on the spot, then immediately ran to the bookstore and bought two copies of "Animals Are Fierce".

She wants to treasure Wei Ming's book forever, and she only reads the other two books she bought from time to time, one for herself and one for her sister Xiaoqing. She is 11 years old and still reads "Children's Literature". It's time for her to eat something good.

Wei Ming's autographed novel has only been sent to Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas for the time being. It will take some time to reach areas farther away, but the letter sent to Zhou Huimin earlier has now arrived.

After returning home, Zhou Huimin opened her mailbox first, but unfortunately, it was still empty.

However, when I entered the house, I saw a small package on the table.

My mother said with a serious expression, "It's from your pen pal from Peking University."

Zhou Huimin was immediately delighted, but her mother asked, "Can I take a look at what they sent you?"

The mother can't help but worry. The child has been checking his email every day recently. He is just a pen pal, a way to spice up his study life, but the child takes it too seriously.

Moreover, her daughter has already had her period and is now 1.6 meters tall and has grown into a beautiful young lady. Mother Zhou can't help but worry that the two are dating under the guise of being pen pals.

Zhou Huimin also realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, so she agreed obediently.

There were quite a few things in the package after opening it.

Because Wei Ming had also talked about movies with Zhou Huimin, Wei Ming sent several copies of Popular Movies magazine with the voting pages torn off to this pen pal.

There is also a box of Yanjing pastries that can withstand long-distance transportation.

The last one was the tape of "The Sheep Class".

It costs a lot to ship these things to Hong Kong, but Wei Ming just regards it as an investment.

As for my grandfather, I can only consider it as my filial piety. If I want to earn foreign exchange, I can only rely on Amin.

Mother Zhou first flipped through the magazine, which was a movie magazine. There were no unhealthy pictures, which was consistent with her understanding of the mainland.

The pastry was called "Daoxiangcun". After they tasted it, Mother Zhou felt that it tasted more like the pastries in Suzhou near Shanghai, and couldn't help but eat two more pieces.

Seeing that her mother liked it, Zhou Huimin felt very proud, but at the same time she felt a little embarrassed: "This Ah Ming is too polite. He sent so many things. How can I return the gift?"

She can afford some Hong Kong specialties, but the postage is a bit painful.

Mother Zhou said, "You can't be too polite. You can buy some chocolates or new things that are not available in the mainland. If you don't have enough money, ask me for it."

Hearing her mother's words, Zhou Huimin felt more sorry for her. Her mother worked very hard to support her, so she decided to just reply to the letter.

At this time, Mother Zhou pointed at the tape and asked, "What is this? Is it music from the mainland?"

"That should be it, "The Sheep Class", what a strange name." Zhou Huimin picked it up and looked at it. She didn't see "Homesickness". There were a few songs that were unfamiliar to her, but there were a few that she had heard of, such as "Farewell". Wasn't it a song written by Master Hongyi? "Mom, let's listen to it!"

Mother Zhou: "Listen while you eat, and do your homework after you finish eating."

So there was only one letter left to read, and they started listening to songs, and the first one was "Where is Spring?"

Zhou Huimin also often listens to Mandarin songs, and this was a children's song, which was not difficult for her at all. She learned it almost after singing one song.

The second song, "The Little Girl Picking Mushrooms", is another nursery rhyme with a higher level of difficulty. She feels that she needs to listen to it twice more before she can learn it.

For the third song, "Little Grass", Zhou Huimin was immediately attracted by the singer's voice, which was very catchy. As for the lyrics, they felt a bit sad and yet somewhat inspirational.

The fourth song, "Planting the Sun", is a nursery rhyme sung by a boy.

The fifth song was "In the Fields of Hope". It seemed to be a chorus of four singers. The combination of several obviously underage voices gave it some momentum. Zhou Huimin felt that she could not sing it.

"Mom, I'm done eating. I'm going to do my homework first!" Zhou Huimin took the magazine and letter into her room and closed the door.

When she was listening to the songs just now, she wondered if these songs were written by A-Ming?
If that's true, then he is really talented. Although they are basically nursery rhymes, it is not easy for a college student to write them so catchy.

However, when she opened Wei Ming's letter, she was devastated. It turned out that Ming was not a student at Peking University!

Wei Ming said this in the letter.

"Although I am very young, Amin, you may have misunderstood me. I am not a student at Peking University. I work at Peking University."

Zhou Huimin was astonished: "It turns out that he is a teacher at Peking University!"

He said he was still young, probably compared to those old scholars, but they were at least ten years older than him.

Zhou Huimin didn't mind Wei Ming's age, but she felt that she might have to be more respectful when writing to him in the future.

Wei Ming then briefly introduced the contents of the package, saying that Popular Movies would allow her to gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest developments in mainland China's film industry.

"There aren't many local delicacies in Yanjing. Most of them absorb characteristics from all over the country and preserve and pass them down. This box of Daohua Village cakes is a time-honored brand in Beijing. They are Suzhou-style cakes. I don't know if they are available in Hong Kong. I'll send them to you to try."

Finally he talked about the tape.

"I got it right!"

Zhou Huimin covered her mouth with some excitement. It turned out that the lyrics of the first five songs were written by him. "The Girl Picking Mushrooms" was composed by his teacher, and the remaining four songs were composed by him personally.

He is really talented!

And A-Ming also told Zhou Huimin: "I learned music because I needed music knowledge to write a novel. The name of the novel is "The Sheep Class Spring", which is the name of the album of this tape."

Oh my god, he's a writer!
I really want to read that novel! Zhou Huimin thought again, could he be teaching literature at Peking University?
The image of a gentle, elegant and graceful gentleman immediately emerged in her mind.

Wei Ming also mentioned in the letter: "Now that I have finished writing the novel, I don't want to waste my songwriting skills, so I created another song a while ago. However, this song is more Hong Kong and Taiwan style, and it may be difficult to publish in mainland China, so I sent it to you, Amin. I know you have a good musical accomplishment. If you like it, you can help me submit it to a music company. The name will be 'Amin'. If I get the royalties, how about we split the profits 190% and 90%."

"190% split!" Zhou Huimin's face turned red with excitement. If she could really make money, wouldn't she be able to send him a very big package?

The first thing that came to her mind was that she didn't need to use her mother's money.

The last page is the simple score of Wei Ming’s new song, called “Slippery Her”, a very strange name.

Zhou Huimin hummed softly.

"You have never seen me, and I have never seen you..."

Zhou Huimin thought: Could this song be written for me? They had definitely never met.

Continue reading “When young friends meet, they become very close and harmonious.”

Zhou Huimin thought, this "intimate and compatible" should also be used for friends, right? Well, it should be possible. Although I haven't seen it yet, from the words, it feels that the two of them are very speculative.

"Young friends being together is more joyful than anything else..."

Well, it’s probably about friendship. It must be very happy when friends are together.

"She is so charming, she is so charming and I am so charming. My heart is so charming..."

Singing this passage was a severe test for Zhou Huimin's Mandarin and was quite difficult.

After listening to the whole song, Zhou Huimin realized that the song was of high quality and very suitable for Taiwanese singers.

But Ah Ming is from mainland China, and they don’t get along with Taiwan, so I should consider Hong Kong singers.

But there are fewer and fewer singers singing Mandarin in Hong Kong now. How can I help Ah Ming...
