Exciting 1979!

Chapter 63 On the Advancement of "The Duck Knows the River Water Warms in Spring"

Colleagues all looked at Wei Ming strangely. What happened?
Wei Ming was also puzzled. What was going on? Why did Zhu Lin call him?

"No, sister, please explain clearly. My colleague is listening nearby." Wei Ming said righteously.

"Oh, it's about that the baby was born in Engineer Gao's family. Engineer Gao is very grateful to you and said that he wants you to be the child's godfather." Zhu Lin also hurriedly explained.

Wei Ming looked around and said, "Did you hear it clearly? It's not mine."

"Whether he's your godfather or not is another matter, but why are you the one making this call?" Wei Ming asked again.

"Oh, I'm in the hospital."

Zhu Lin then explained the whole story.

After returning to the department store, she suddenly remembered that Engineer Gao had rushed over from work almost empty-handed, and he did not bring anything that the mother needed.

Thinking that the child's early birth was also related to himself, Zhu Lin did not buy a tape recorder for the time being, but bought some things the mother needed and brought them over.

"They said that the baby will look like the first person they see, so they insisted that I be the first one to hold the baby."

What a narcissistic queen.

However, Wei Ming did not agree to be a godfather. He was so young and still a child.

"But sister, you can adopt a goddaughter."

"I've actually thought about it. I'll buy a longevity lock for the baby. She's so beautiful." Zhu Lin said with a giggle.

When I returned to the dormitory, I found that the room was full of people.

It turned out that everyone heard that Wei Ming was going to tell a martial arts story again, so they came over to listen to the story.

Wei Ming coughed twice: "Today's story starts from a place called Niujia Village..."

The next morning, when Brother Feng, Biaozi and others sent Wei Ming away, they felt that it was very rude to treat this kid well.

You said you could tell the story at any other time, but you had to tell it before leaving, and you happened to tell the story at the right moment.

Can the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan find Guo Jing, can Qiu Chuji find the child of the Yang family, and can the two of them get married?

The result is that it breaks down at this point. Who did you learn this from?

After sending them to the bus stop outside the door, Wei Ming let them go back.

As soon as they left, a school bus stopped next to Wei Ming.

Wei Ming was stunned: "Master Liu!"

Master Liu stuck his head out and smiled: "Get in the car and go."

Wei Ming: "I'm going to the train station."

Master Liu: "Don't waste your time, just like whoever is not going to the train station."

It turned out that Professor Hou Renzhi from the Geography Department had just returned from the vast desert in western Xinjiang with his team. Lao Liu hadn't driven a bus for a long time, and he was itching to try his skills, so he took the job.

"I thought you made a mistake and got demoted." Wei Ming joked with Lao Liu and lit a cigarette for him.

"No, you always give me cigarettes, why haven't I seen you smoke them?"

Wei Ming: "Smoking is harmful to health, I don't smoke."

Master Liu: “…”

Suddenly, the Daqianmen Gate no longer had any charm. On the other side, just as Wei Ming left, the postman arrived at the South Gate.

He poured out all the letters in his bag: "There is a letter from the great writer Wei."

Mei Wenhua and Biaozi were about to go to the cafeteria, and immediately started searching: "Where is it, where is it?"

The postman pointed to the letters on the table: "These are all."

I learned that Master Liu had not eaten yet like me and was planning to have a bite at the station. I also knew that Professor Hou and his train would be an hour later than mine, so I had plenty of time.

So Wei Ming asked Master Liu to go around Wangfujing while he went to the department store.

After a while, Wei Ming got on the bus with a jar of pickles and two pancakes in his hand, one for each person.

Master Liu was not polite to him. He took the pancake and asked, "Why did you bring a jar home?"

"I brought it for my mother." Wei Ming said with a smile. He didn't expect to see a Mini version this time. It only cost two dollars and was more convenient to carry.

However, Wei Ming's luggage was already quite large. He had packed almost all the things the girl's family had given him, as well as a radio, magazines and newspapers, and the high school study materials he had collected for Xiaohong.

It’s been a really fruitful month!

Although Ping'an County is only 200 kilometers away from Yanjing, transportation is still very inconvenient at that time, and there is no railway station in Ping'an County. Wei Ming has to go to Hengzhou, which is farther away, first, and then take a bus back to Ping'an County. As for how to get back to the village, it depends on fate.

So Wei Ming was not sure whether he could get home that day.

After saying goodbye to Lao Liu, Wei Ming hurried into the station. At about ten o'clock, the train started.

He will spend more than four long hours on the train.

This time he didn't bring a big novel, but bought two magazines.

One was the October issue of "Popular Movies", with Zhao Dan on the cover. It focused on introducing more than a dozen tribute films for this National Day. Wei Ming hadn't seen any of them yet.

The other is the September issue of "Yenching Literature and Art", which is a special issue on novels and does not contain poetry, essays, etc.

Among them is "There is a Sassy Tartar in Western Beijing" by Chen Jiangong, Class of 77, a Chinese major at Peking University, as well as other famous predecessors such as Xiao Jun, Wang Meng, Liu Shaotang, and Gao Xiaosheng. It can be said to be a star-studded issue.

There were no pretty girls around me on the train this time. Only middle-aged men and women were around me. Only the guy with glasses sitting opposite me was gentle and kind-hearted, and somewhat pleasing to the eye.

Soon after getting on the car, the other party took out a copy of "People's X Newspaper" and started reading it.

When he finished reading one side of the newspaper and turned to the other, Wei Ming inadvertently caught a headline on the front page.

"On the advancement of "The Duck Knows the River Water Warms in Spring"

Wei Ming was stunned. After the other party finished reading the newspaper, he smiled and said, "Comrade, can I see your newspaper?"

"Then can I watch your Popular Movies?"

"Of course, let's switch."

Wei Ming took the newspaper and saw the author's name "Fan Rongkang" next to the title. Oh, his brother-in-law has taken action!

Yenching, Peking University.

Liang Zuo sneezed. They were now holding a celebration party for the sold-out first issue of "Weiming Lake".

Finally, the May Fourth Literary Society did not lose money on this attempt, and even made a small profit. The students who had previously supported the magazine got their money back.

They even considered whether to print more issues of the magazine. After all, the market response was quite good. Supporters included the editor-in-chief of "Weiming Lake", Lao Xiong, and Liu Zhenyun and others.

Cen Xianqing, president of the May Fourth Literary Society, held the opposite opinion: "The magazine sold well, and Wei Ming's Ideal contributed greatly to it. However, the latest issue of Poetry Magazine has already come out, and Ideal is also included in it. If you like poetry, even if you want to read Ideal, it is more cost-effective to buy Poetry Magazine, so I think it is better to save the funds for the next issue."

In the end, Cen Xianqing won the majority of support, but Liu Zhenyun was worried that the next issue would not be able to sell well without topical works like "Ideal".

Brother Wei, Brother Wei, I heard that you have returned to your hometown. I don’t know how long you will stay. I miss you on your first day~
