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

Chapter 67: Are you nervous when meeting the big boss? (asking for monthly votes)
"Are you nervous, Xuemin, meeting the big boss?!"

The next morning, Feng Jiayou helped Cheng Xuemin to pack up her things. The Zhongshan suit she was wearing was borrowed from her father!
After ironing it several times, it finally fits Cheng Xuemin perfectly and looks handsome!

"It should be fine!"

Cheng Xuemin straightened his body. How could he say that he wasn't a little nervous?

You have to know that the place he went to this time was Zhonghai, and the leaders he met were those he had only seen in newspapers and news.

As for TV news?

With his current conditions, Cheng Xuemin couldn’t even afford a black-and-white TV, and he didn’t even know when his leader was on TV.

"Big Boss Cheng, you've been making such a fuss, I really want to tell you... No wonder my sister loves you so much!"

When he was leaving the house, his sister-in-law Feng Jiamo happened to be going out too. When she saw her brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin in formal attire, she was really dazzled and made a joke about her sister.

"My uncle is so awesome!" The little niece Feng Liqin shouted at Cheng Xuemin while sitting on the threshold of the eaves.

"Are you ready?! When you go to see the leader this time, you must keep a low profile. Just answer whatever the leader asks you! Don't speak without asking anything else!"

Mother Feng looked at her son-in-law and nodded. She didn't expect that her son-in-law, who had only been in Yanjing for a short time, would be asked by the leaders of the department to meet him.

"Don't be so nervous. You'll get used to it after going there more often!" Father Feng was pushing the bicycle in front and turned back to comfort Cheng Xuemin.

"Dad! Mom! I know!" Cheng Xuemin nodded, not saying much.

"Old Feng, what's going on with your family? Are you all going out at the same time?!"

Old Qian in the front yard saw Father Feng leading his family out. He was still washing up, revealing his yellow teeth. He asked in surprise, "By the way, Old Feng! That Li Qingquan you mentioned last time, he really did launch a big satellite!"

"If your Foreign Language Bureau wants to publish the article "The Horse Herder", I can help you translate it!"

When talking about the article The Horse Shepherd, Lao Qian also applauded. The author Lao Xu elevated the protagonist's patriotism to a very high level. No wonder that woman Ding Ling dared to make public comments as soon as she came back, praising The Horse Shepherd for being well written!
"Okay, okay! I'll ask the bureau to inform Li Qingquan and ask him to report "The Horse Shepherd" as soon as possible!" Father Feng was in a really good mood as he encountered good news before he even went out!

"Old Qian, since you think so highly of Li Qingquan's The Horse Herder, please give him a review and praise the author!"

Feng's mother also joined in the fun, instigating Lao Qian to write a review of her son-in-law like Ding Ling did! If this old guy took action, the sensation might be even bigger than what Ding Ling wrote before!

"Heh! When did you start speaking well of Li Qingquan, Xiao Gu? I remember you went to October, not Li Qingquan's Yanjing Literature, right?"

Although Lao Qian stays at home all day and rarely moves around, he knows that the most interesting thing in the circle recently is Li Qingquan's "Yenching Literature", which is secretly competing with Liu Xinwu's "October".

I also heard about Li Qingquan's big satellite. At first, the author submitted his manuscript to "October", but it was rejected. He was then recommended to submit it to Li Qingquan's Yenching Literature. That's how Yenching Literature picked up such a treasure and launched a big satellite!

So logically, shouldn't Gu Xueqing, who went to October, help Li Qingquan to comment on the manuscript?
"I'm not trying to speak well of Li Qingquan, but I'm just speaking the truth. The article 'The Horse Herder' by Yanjing Literature is indeed well written, and we in October wouldn't say it's bad against our will!"

"Besides, we will also be launching a satellite in October, and it will not be smaller than Li Qingquan's!" Feng's mother Gu Xueqing looked so proud that she gave a preview in advance.

"Ha, is this true?"

Why does Old Qian sound so unconvinced? Is the current literary revival really that amazing? They can launch a satellite whenever they want. Are these old guys really old?

"Fake! It's not that easy to launch a big satellite! Old Qian, you should hurry up and give Li Qingquan a review! Ding Ling and Wang Meng are both on it, if you don't, Li Qingquan will really forget about you again!"

Feng's mother tried her best for her son-in-law and even used provocation!

"How dare Li Qingquan!" Old Qian was indeed irritated. Last time when the satellite was magnified, no one had informed Old Qian in advance, so he was already hinted at by Old Feng in a roundabout way.

Now he was provoked by Old Feng's wife again, and he raised his eyebrows and said.

"Did Li Qingquan invite you, Old Qian, to this symposium?" Feng's mother asked sharply again.

Feng's mother only heard from her own debt collector yesterday that Li Qingquan was going to hold a symposium for his son-in-law, and the date had not yet been set.

But that doesn't stop her from bringing it up now to motivate Lao Qian!
The date has not been set yet. Even if Li Qingquan wants to invite Lao Qian, he has to wait until the next step to invite him. Lao Qian must not have heard any news at all now.

"Li Qingquan is going to hold a symposium for the Wranglers?! How come I didn't know about it!?" Old Qian really didn't hear anything about it. Is Li Qingquan really arrogant? !
For a symposium, a literary and elegant tea party, they didn't even invite Lao Qian. Is he out of his league? !

"Because you didn't give them a review!?"

"If you don't comment on him, who will remember you, Old Qian?"

"Alright! Old Qian, hurry up and write an article! Submit it to Wenhui Daily, let Li Qingquan know that you have spoken up, and remind him! Old Qian, you won't lose face and go to Yanjing Literature to question Li Qingquan in person, right?"

"I... write him a piece of shit! From now on, they in Yanjing Literature, don't even think about me giving them a manuscript!"

"Old Feng, I won't read his book The Horse Wrangler anymore. Li Qingquan can ask anyone else to read it!"

After hearing what Feng's mother said, Old Qian really couldn't hold it anymore!
Li Qingquan wanted to hold a symposium, but he didn't even invite him, and didn't even inform him. The good boy disappeared! Old Qian was so angry that he offered to help translate "The Shepherd" because Li Qingquan's Yenching Literature was not allowed to translate it!
"Xueqing was just joking with you, but you took it seriously!" Father Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had never provoked her like that, but now he had done something wrong, right? He even refused to translate The Horse Herder for her son-in-law!

"But I heard that Lao Li is indeed planning to hold a symposium for the Wranglers. He probably hasn't sent out the invitations yet, and our Foreign Language Bureau hasn't received any definite news!"

"But then again, Xue Qing did give a warning! Old Qian, you have to take action and give Old Li a warning as well! Don't let him miss you. Not only will he mess up the symposium, but Old Qian, you will also lose face, right?!"

In the final analysis, they just want Lao Qian to quickly write a review for their son-in-law and remind Li Qingquan not to forget about Lao Qian!
After all, Lao Qian is unemployed at home now, so there might really be an oversight, which would be interesting.

"He dares!"

Old Qian still said something unconvinced, but he was a little unsure in his heart! He wondered if he really had to speak up! ?

Don’t really say that to Old Feng and his wife. Li Qingquan really forgot about Old Qian. It’s hard to say whether his symposium will be a failure or not. Old Qian was not invited and couldn’t attend. It’s Old Qian who will lose face!
Mr. and Mrs. Feng glanced at each other secretly, and without saying anything more, they pushed their bicycles out.

"It's done! With Old Qian writing a review for you, Li Qingquan from Yanjing Literature will definitely go crazy!"

Feng Jiayou, who was sitting in the back seat of Cheng Xuemin's car, spoke to Cheng Xuemin secretly.

"Mom and Dad, this can be considered as provoking Mr. Qian!"

Cheng Xuemin also nodded. When he first moved in, he didn't know how important old man Qian was. Now that he knew, he was amazed that such a heavyweight old man lived next to him.

But it's just to motivate Mr. Qian. Yenching Literature is going to hold a symposium, and Mr. Qian will definitely not be the one to be forgotten.

It is very possible that by then, Li Qingquan from Yenching Literature will personally visit Mr. Qian to invite him to attend the symposium in order to raise the level of the event!
By then, whether Mr. Qian will give me face or not and whether I will go or not is another matter!
“Hehe, when Old Qian goes to the symposium and finds out that the author of The Horse Wrangler is you, Xuemin, he will definitely be surprised, right?!”

Feng Jiayou thought about the scene and thought it was really too exciting!

"Mom, can't you just ask your brother-in-law to take you there? Why do you want me to walk?"

When they went out, Feng's mother took one bicycle, Feng's father took the last bicycle in the Feng family, and Cheng Xuemin took the youngest bicycle in the Feng family!
Now they were about to part at the intersection. Cheng Xuemin dropped Feng Jiayou off and asked Feng's father to take a detour and take her to Yan University for classes.

Feng's mother also rode her own bicycle and let her sister-in-law Feng Jiamo walk over by herself!
But my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo refused to do it!

She insisted that Feng's mother let her ride her bicycle today, and let Feng's mother take Cheng Xuemin's car, since they would go together anyway.

"It's not far from your school. You'll be exhausted if I ask you to walk a few steps!" How could Feng's mother let her son-in-law take her there?

How can I explain it clearly then?!
"Then you take Lao Cheng with you and let me ride his bicycle! It's still far from my school!" Feng Jiamo still refused and insisted on grabbing a bicycle!

"Okay, okay! You should just walk home today. I'll ask your brother to get you a ticket to buy a new one!"

Father Feng knew what his wife was thinking, so he just kept it secret!
How could she possibly ride a bicycle there with her son-in-law?

"Really?! Dad, you said you would buy me a new bicycle. I want a Phoenix brand one. Don't go back on your word!"

Feng Jiamo usually walked to school by herself every day. Today she just wanted to try grinding, but she didn't expect that she actually succeeded!
"Really, really! Be careful on the road and watch the road!" Father Feng said with a loving smile!

"Yeah! Thanks, Dad!"

"Just spoil her! If she wants a Phoenix brand, give it to her? If she wants a satellite in the sky, build one for her?"

Feng's mother retorted to her husband in a bad mood, helped herself to the bicycle, got on it, and rode away!
"come on!"

Cheng Xuemin also hurried to catch up, and Feng Jiayou cheered him on from behind!

I didn’t take a detour to go to Feng’s workplace with her mother, but went directly to the center of Yanjing City. It took me almost an hour to ride!
Cheng Xuemin and the other man finally arrived at their destination, and the majestic city gate stood before them.

"Teacher Gu, you guys are here really early!" Liu Xinwu had already arrived here. Seeing Teacher Gu and his companions from a distance, he pushed his bicycle forward, greeted them, and asked, "Is this Comrade Lao Xu, the author of "The Wrangler"?!"

Liu Xinwu only found out yesterday that the two manuscripts that Teacher Gu had asked for were indeed from Lao Xu, the author of Li Qingquan's Yenching Literature Wrangler.

I was so excited at that time, I almost did two somersaults!

Now that he saw the real person, he was even more excited. He stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Cheng Xuemin!

"Teacher Liu, I read your book Class Teacher at the beginning of the year. I have long heard of your name. Hello!"

Cheng Xuemin did not dare to be negligent, and quickly stepped forward to shake his hand, greeting him with a smile.

"Comrade Lao Xu, please don't say that! You are the great writer that our October students have long admired!"

"Come on, let's talk while we walk. The leader has made an appointment at ten o'clock, so we still have some time. I need to have a good chat with you! The leader attaches great importance to your article..."
