Exciting 1979!

Chapter 70 New Book Seminar (Please read!)

When Qi Delong heard that his father was arrested, he couldn't help but feel happy. Finally, no one would beat him!

But he soon became worried again. His classmates would have to call him the son of a gangster from now on. That would be too ugly!

After the joy and sorrow, he couldn't help but wonder, Dad was being rude to Teacher Hu, did he like her? Then would Teacher Hu be his stepmother from now on?

It was a good thing to think about it this way, because he also liked Teacher Hu very much. Teacher Hu was very gentle and beautiful, and most importantly, she was patient with him. Unlike other teachers, she would always complain to his father and ask him to beat him.

Wei Ming asked Xiaohong to help her mother prepare lunch. He and Lao Wei took Qi Delong to take a look, but the boy didn't want to go.

"You can't not go. You have something to do here," said Lao Wei.

Wei Ming also counseled him: "Xiaolong, if you want your dad not to beat you, this is a good opportunity."

"Ah, really?"

When they arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered outside Qi Kexiu's house, including the village militia company commander and public security officers, and the women's director was comforting the traumatized teacher Xiao Hu.

In fact, Qi Kexiu has not been captured yet. He is firmly holding his ground in the toilet. When someone tries to rush in, he shouts: I'm going to throw shit outside!
Relying on this method, Zhao Chunlai and others were unable to capture the city for a long time, but he was not worried: "Qi Kexiu will come out naturally when he is hungry. He can't eat shit."

Qi Kexiu: "Don't force me, I can do anything!"

At this time, Wei Jiefang and the other two had come over. Old Wei curiously asked Teacher Hu in the arms of the director of women's affairs, "Qi Kexiu is not wearing anything at all? He doesn't usually work in the fields, so is he so white?"

Teacher Hu was almost coaxed into crying, but when she heard what he said, she started crying again. But to be honest, it was true.

Seeing Wei Jiefang coming, Zhao Chunlai snorted: "Wei Jiefang, you are still talking about others, your problem is not solved yet!"

Wei Jiefang: "I didn't do anything rude, did I?"

Zhao Chunlai: "I'm talking about you using public property for personal gain."

"Using public property for personal purposes?" Wei Jiefang was stunned for a moment, "Oh, you mean the donkey cart?"

"Yes! Did you say you took the kids out to play in the brigade's donkey cart?"

Wei Jiefang smiled contemptuously, then winked at his son, saying that to deal with this kid Zhao Chunlai, he didn't need to do it himself, his son was enough.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Can you please listen to me?" Wei Ming stood in the middle of the yard. He was no longer an ordinary person. He was the only writer born in Gouzitun in the past five thousand years.

When he said this, the whole place fell silent, which was quite respectful. This was probably the effect that the old branch secretary's arrival would have.

Wei Ming continued, "This morning, my father and I found a note at the doorstep. It was written by my cousin Qi Delong. He said that his father beat him yesterday and that he was going to run away from home and never come back. My father and I thought, this is not right. Children are the flowers of the motherland and the future of our Gouzi Village! Then one of us rode a motorcycle, the other drove a donkey cart, and we took my sister with us. We split up into two groups and worked non-stop until we finally found the child at the market in Chengguan Town. But guess what, the child took all his father's clothes with him."

As he said that, Wei Ming opened the bundle, which made everyone laugh out loud.

"Alpaca, it turns out to be you!" Qi Kexiu yelled angrily in the toilet, and the onlookers were overjoyed.

Wei Ming added, "So Qi Kexiu wasn't being a hooligan. He just couldn't hold it in any longer, but he had no clothes with him, so he went to the toilet naked in his own home, and then he accidentally polluted Teacher Hu's eyes. This wasn't any of their faults. What do you think?"

"Correct!"

Wei Ming's words now carry a lot of weight. He first removed Qi Kexiu's label of gangster, and also made it legitimate for Old Wei to use the donkey cart. He blocked both ends, leaving Zhao Chunlai speechless.

Then Wei Ming walked to the toilet door and said, "Uncle, what Xiaolong did today was indeed wrong, but as a teacher, you are not above beating children."

"I……"

Wei Ming shook his clothes at the door.

Qi Kexiu thought about the fact that he was still naked, so he could only swallow his grievances: "Yes, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so angry. I should have reasoned with him."

"Will you still fight Xiao Long in the future?"

"No more fighting, never again."

Wei Ming: "Well, everyone is here, let's all be witnesses. Xiaolong, what will you do if your father beats you again in the future?"

Qi Delong: "I also took his clothes!"

"Hahaha!"

Qi Kexiu was so angry that his head was smoking. He felt that he would be controlled by this kid in the future. No, can't I just sleep with clothes on in the future?
Wei Jiefang said: "Okay, father and son have reconciled, let's all go!"

Wei Ming handed over the clothes, Qi Delong pulled him and ran away quickly, leaving Wei Jiefang to clean up the mess.

When most people had left, Fan Chunhua hurried back.

"Brother, is that bastard Qi Kexiu being a hooligan?"

"No, no, I just took no clothes in front of other women." Wei Jiefang said.

"What!" Fan Chunhua was furious. When she saw Qi Kexiu coming out of the toilet after putting on his clothes, she waved a shovel and went up to hit him.

Seeing that Qi Kexiu had dodged, Wei Jiefang felt relieved and strolled home to eat chicken.

After lunch, Qi Delong decided to go to school to avoid the limelight. As a result, his father also went to school to avoid the limelight. At this moment, the enemies met and were extremely jealous of each other.

As to whether a fight broke out, Wei Ming was not sure. He was now talking to his mother about returning to Sichuan and Chongqing.

Hearing her son's words, Xu Shufen couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red again.

"Is this really possible? I don't even know where they are." Xu Shufen felt powerless.

At the beginning, she actually didn't know many words. It was after they got married that Wei Jiefang patiently taught her to read and write. With his encouragement, she sent letters home, but after so many years, she didn't receive a single reply.

She guessed that her parents might have passed away, so she thought that perhaps her brothers and sisters were still alive, but she didn't know where they were now.

Old Wei quickly put his arm around his wife's shoulders, and it was his turn to show off: "If we can't find it, we can ask around. Anyway, there's not much work to do in the village in winter. I'll go back with you."

Wei Hong: "Mom, I'm going too!"

She had heard her mother tell her since she was little that giant pandas were often seen in their area! Those were giant pandas!
Wei Ming laughed: "Then it's settled. When the winter vacation comes, there won't be much to do at school, so it will be convenient to ask for leave."

However, if the whole family is mobilized, the cost of this trip will be quite high, so Wei Ming feels that he has to work harder to make money.

So after a short break after lunch, he continued to write "The Legend of Heaven and Earth", which is a novella. He has just started it and the egg has not even been laid yet.

Although she knew her elder brother was leaving tomorrow and wanted to talk to him for a while, when she saw him start working, she obediently went to her parents' room to do her homework.

When Wei Ming came out for a stroll, Wei Hong said, "Brother, you can write poetry! And you write so well!"

She finally found "Ideal" signed by "Wei Ming" in "Weiming Lake" and the school magazine.

Wei Ming smiled and said, "It's good to have many skills. I can write fairy tales, poems, novels, and maybe scripts in the future."

Wei Hong knew that her brother was currently writing a fairy tale, but she felt that she was no longer old enough to read fairy tales and was not very interested in them, so she was more concerned about the novel.

Wei Hong said, "I should be at school when Yanjing Literature and Art is published. I'll see if I can buy it in the county town then."

Wei Ming: "If you can't buy it, write to me and I'll send you a copy."

"Okay! Brother, what kind of novel are you planning to write next?" Wei Hong asked with concern.

Wei Ming shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Wei Hong said: "I think our family's story is quite interesting. Our grandfather can be said to be an old hero. And my grandfather and his brothers, although they are brothers with blood thicker than water, they each have their own stances. They might even be opponents on the battlefield. It's a story full of conflicts."

Wei Hong is worthy of being the top student in Ping'an County Middle School. Although Chinese is not her strong subject, she has quite some experience in writing.

Wei Ming's mind moved, and he immediately said, "If I want to write it, the background is quite grand, and the modern history research work to be done is also very complicated. It must be at least a medium-length novel."

Now a novella of the length of a movie adaptation script is Wei Ming’s comfort zone, but he will always challenge a long novel, or even an extra-long one.

As a writer, who doesn't want to have a book as a pillow in the coffin when he dies?

"Xiaohong's suggestion is very good. Do you have any other ideas?" Although Wei Ming is now more focused on novellas that can produce results quickly, he still encouraged his sister.

Xiao Hong couldn't think of anything for the time being, but Lao Wei had something to say: "Son, do you think the love story between your mother and I can be written into a novel?"
