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

Chapter 103 Dad, you have to help me block Mom's side later (asking for monthly tickets)
"The influence of your mother's October is indeed far less than that of People's Literature. This is a good thing for you!"

Feng's father, Cheng Xuemin, and his son-in-law returned home together. On the way, Feng's father also listened to Cheng Xuemin's story.

He nodded and gave a very pertinent evaluation!

If he were in Mr. Wu's position, with an old leader in person giving important instructions, he would also have to replace Lao Liu's "October" with the more influential "People's Literature".

After all, as Mr. Wu said, this is the first shot of reform and opening up, and they must open the cultural gap!
Moreover, October is a bimonthly magazine, so the next issue will not be published until the end of next month, which is impossible to wait.

So it must be changed. It would be unreasonable not to change it. This is indeed a good thing for his son-in-law. The influence will be greater, which will certainly be more beneficial to his son-in-law as an author.

"Dad, do you agree with this too?!"

"When we get home, could you please help me get some fresh air with mom?"

With the approval of his father-in-law, Cheng Xuemin struck while the iron was hot and encouraged his father-in-law to take the first step in the family.

"Well... you should talk to your mother about this later! I... I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do at work, so I won't go back with you!"

That being said, this is the truth, but should we really let Feng's father go first?
Pull it down!

After saying that, he turned his bicycle around and really wanted to hide in the office.

"Dad, dad! It's not that bad!"

"It's almost dark now, and everyone at work has already gone off work!"

Cheng Xuemin quickly grabbed his father-in-law and said, "We are almost home, why are you running?"
"Or, I'll go to school and pick up my child!"

"That's it, I'll go pick them up!"

The father-in-law wanted to hide, but the son-in-law Cheng Xuemin ran even faster. After saying that, he didn't even enter the house and rushed directly towards Yan University.

The sky cleared up and the snow on the road melted. In the morning, Feng Jiayou said that he wanted to go home.

Cheng Xuemin was urgently called away at noon, and Feng Jiayou must be waiting anxiously at school, so he might as well go over and pick her up so that he could deal with her mother.

"You kid...slow down!"

Mr. Feng was at a loss for words and could only continue riding his bike as he approached the front door and entered the yard.

"You're back! I called your workplace today and they said you were called to the Zhonghai Department!?"

"Xuemin went there too. Did you meet him?"

"What's going on? The department called everywhere looking for Xuemin today. It scared the hell out of me!"

Seeing her lover enter the yard, Feng's mother had no intention of cooking at all. She just waited for them to come back and asked quickly.

"Dad, you're back!"

"Where's Xuemin?! Why didn't he come back with you?"

Feng Jiayou, who was warming herself by the fire in the house, also heard the noise and hurried over to say hello. But when she saw that her man was not behind her father, her heart skipped a beat and she asked nervously.

"Jiayou, you came back by yourself?!" Father Feng was stunned when he saw Jiayou Feng in the house. He quickly looked behind him and said, "Xuemin just went to the school and said he wanted to take you back to live with him!"

Good guy!
My son-in-law runs faster than anyone else. If he had just taken a look when he entered the house, he wouldn't have made such a wasted trip.

He wanted to go out and chase him, but with the speed his son-in-law pedaled, it would be strange if he could catch up with him.

"Ah?! He ran away to school!? I'll go chase him and see!"

Feng Jiayou was also dumbfounded, and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by her mother.

Now that everyone is back, it’s no big deal!
"Old Feng, what do you say when we go to the ministry today? Why is Xuemin also called?!"

"Is his article going to be published?!"

"Then we may not be able to wait until the end of next month in October. We will have to publish an extra issue at the end of this month!"

The only reason Feng's mother thought of calling her son-in-law to the department was because of the manuscript.

Now that the plenary session has officially closed, the draft should be published in a timely manner to respond to the spirit of the above meeting.

So Xuemin and Lao Liu were both called over, it must be related to the work of the additional issue of "October", and Lao Wu had relevant instructions.

"The manuscript is going to be published!"

Father Feng nodded, locked his bicycle, and said, "This time, Mr. Wu convened a meeting of all the departments in Yanjing. The senior leaders also attended the meeting and gave important instructions to our cultural department!"

The manuscript is going to be published, but not in October. Mr. Feng certainly wouldn't dare to point this out.

We have to let Xuemin speak for himself!

The monk can run away but the temple cannot. My father-in-law should not take the blame for this.

"What?! All the old leaders are attending the meeting?" Feng's mother asked in shock.

Father Feng continued to nod and said, "In order to support the spirit of this meeting, Xuemin's article will be published in the newspaper in the next two days!"

That’s all I can say. From now on, everything will be handed over to my son-in-law Cheng Xuemin. He won’t be able to escape anyway!
"Really? It's going to be published in the next two days, so soon?"

"Fortunately, Lao Liu and I are well prepared. The final version of the next issue has been finalized. We can increase the volume in advance and the sample issue will be available tomorrow!"

When Feng's mother heard that it was really going to be announced immediately, her face was filled with excitement.

They have waited for so long, they have been waiting for this moment in October!

And with the personal supervision of Mr. Wu above, their atomic bomb in October will really be a loud bang that will blind everyone's eyes.

Excited to think about it!
"Well...Isn't the meal ready yet? Hurry up and cook first!"

Seeing how excited Mother Feng was, Father Feng really wanted to burst her excitement, but he swallowed the words back!
"Yes, yes, let's cook first! I passed by the Pigeon Market today and bought a big grass carp. We'll have fish head stewed with tofu tonight!"

Mother Feng was in a good mood and her enthusiasm for cooking instantly increased.

"Dad, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something you're hiding from mom?"

After Feng's mother entered the kitchen, Feng's father winked at Feng Jiayou and followed her into the house.

Feng Jiayou had a bad feeling and asked her father.

"Xuemin was scared away, so he went to the school to get you as a rescuer!"

Father Feng went straight to the point and told her the reason why her husband ran away even though he was at her doorstep.

"Ah!? Call for help?"

"Dad, what's going on? How did Xuemin offend Mom?!"

"Dad, did you provoke Mom? Let Xuemin pick me up?" Feng Jiayou was confused for a moment. Why did he need to ask for help? !

"Besides, Dad, didn't you say that Xuemin's manuscript is going to be published? Isn't that a good thing for Mom?"

The manuscript for her mother, which they jokingly called the atomic bomb, is about to be published!

Didn't you see how happy her mother was? What kind of help was she looking for? Besides, how could she become the helper for both of them?
"The manuscript is indeed going to be published!"

Father Feng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and flicked out a cigarette. He was about to smoke while talking, but he quickly realized what was happening and put the cigarette back and continued, "But let's switch to People's Literature!"

"what?"

Seeing that her father was silent and slowly reaching for his cigarette, Feng Jiayou thought that there was more to come from him.

Who would have thought that it would be just such a concise sentence!

What does it mean to change to "People's Literature"?

"The higher-ups felt that your mother's October magazine wasn't influential enough, and were afraid that this first shot wouldn't be a good start, so they switched to the more influential People's Literature!"

Father Feng added with a wry smile that it was because the influence was not enough. As for whether it was bimonthly or not, and whether there was not enough time, those were all excuses!

His wife said that in order to deal with sudden emergencies, they had already finalized the manuscripts for the next issue in October, and they could start publishing sample issues at any time and print and publish them as soon as possible.

It was indeed totally unexpected that this incident happened so suddenly. They might be worried that they didn't have enough influence, so they just cut off the source of the problem and replaced them!
How could Feng's father tell his wife about this? He was really afraid that she would collapse and not be able to accept it!

Therefore, it is still her son-in-law who understands his mother-in-law. It is Feng Jiayou who should take the lead, as she has too much experience in dealing with her mother Feng Jiayou.

"what?"

This time, Feng Jiayou was also dumbfounded. No wonder her husband had to run away overnight to seek help!
Even if it was Feng Jiayou, she wouldn't have the courage to mention this to her mother!

Her mother is in a very excited state right now. If she pours a basin of ice water on her, her mother will chop her to pieces with a kitchen knife.

"Jiayou, go to the kitchen later and talk to your mother first so that she can be mentally prepared!"

Father Feng instigated Feng Jiayou, the filial daughter, to go to the kitchen and expose the atomic bomb of their Feng family.

"No! I really don't dare to do this!"

Feng Jiayou waved his hands and stepped back, then said, "Wait for Xuemin to come back! Let's talk about it after he comes back!"

How could it change?
The couple had finally managed to calm her mother down, and now her mother couldn't be more satisfied with her man.

But why did they suddenly do this today? !

Once the fire breaks out, her mother will come and settle the scores with them both for both new and old grudges.

No!

I can’t stay in this house tonight, let’s run away quickly!
After Feng Jiayou left her father's room, she thought about it and felt that the best thing to do was to run away first.

"Sister, you're back!? Where were you going so late at night?!"

"My dear, you are back?!"

"Where are you going now?"

As soon as she arrived at the yard, her sister Feng Jiamo, elder brother Feng Jiazhao, and elder sister-in-law Ke Yumei were all back!

Seeing Feng Jiayou acting suspiciously in the yard and touching her mother's bicycle, she greeted her and asked.

"Where are you going so late at night? If Xuemin doesn't find you, won't you come back?"

"What's the hurry? Can't you wait now?"

Feng's mother heard the noise in the kitchen and peeked outside. Although she was also anxious, she couldn't bear to see the debt collector being so anxious.

You have a big belly, why are you running outside when it’s already dark?

"Mom! Why is my sister so anxious?!"

Feng Jiamo jumped over and said, "By the way, our principal was in a hurry to find Old Cheng at noon today. Where is he? Why didn't he come back with me?"

"Mom, isn't Xuemin back yet?"

My eldest brother-in-law also looked over and asked in confusion.

He met his younger sister Feng Jiamo on the road. When she brought him here, she mentioned it to him, and he only then knew that someone was looking for her brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin.

"No! They are all impatient. They just came back from a meeting at the ministry and rushed to Yanda University to look for your sister without even going home!"

When it comes to the meeting in the department, Feng's mother felt a little elated. Her son-in-law is quite promising.

"Is that so? I was wondering what it was! It should be that you are going to release that atomic bomb, right?"

Feng Jiazhao nodded and didn't care about it anymore. It had been talked about that the atomic bomb would be released, and now it was finally going to be released. Everyone in his family was happy and anxious at the same time. It was understandable!
"He's going to be released! Your father, Lao Liu, and the heads of all the units and departments have all gone there today. The senior leaders above have given important instructions at the meeting!"

"What? All the old leaders are here?" Feng Jiazhao exclaimed.

Hearing his wife's words outside telling him not to be too proud, Father Feng felt even more uneasy and could not even read the newspaper in his hand.

It was almost time for Feng's mother to finish cooking. After waiting for a while longer, Cheng Xuemin pushed his bicycle into the yard.

"came back!"

The whole family gathered together, waiting and looking after Cheng Xuemin, including his second sister-in-law Sun Juan who came back to pick up the baby.

"Ah? You're back!"

"Jiayou, did you take the bus back by yourself?"

Cheng Xuemin was confused, not knowing whether his father-in-law had told his mother-in-law. He could only look at Feng Jiayou inquiringly.

"I've been waiting for you, come quickly and have dinner! I was worried that you might go home directly, so I took the bus back first to save you the trouble of running!"

The mother-in-law greeted Cheng Xuemin very warmly and also mentioned a few words about the debt collector in her family.

"Ah! Okay! Actually, you don't have to wait for me, Mom!"

When Cheng Xuemin saw Feng Jiayou shaking his head slightly at him, he knew that the truth had not been revealed yet. No wonder his mother-in-law was still so enthusiastic towards him.

But the more enthusiastic you are now, the more likely people will die later!

"You haven't had to wait long, come and sit down!" Feng's mother replied again!
But Cheng Xuemin couldn't afford to waste his blessings. He looked around and even suspected that everyone already knew about it.

Only the mother-in-law is still in the dark, waiting for this good son-in-law to come back and explode her? !
