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

Chapter 90 The three parties turned against each other and fought each other (asking for monthly tickets)
"Let's wait and see!"

Among the houses provided by Jie Liuzi, there are actually two private houses that people want to sell for money.

Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou also ran over and took a look at the house.

But they were all old and dilapidated tenements. Not only did Feng Jiayou look down on them, but even Cheng Xuemin, who was used to living in commercial housing and having running water and a private bathroom, looked down on them even more.

They were in a hurry to move out because it was inconvenient for the whole family to live in a crowded compound. Moving out would improve their housing conditions and quality of life.

So the first house must be used for living, not for speculation! It is too early to start speculating in real estate now. First improve your own housing conditions.

Cheng Xuemin’s original intention was that the first house should at least be an apartment building, right?

At worst, a tube-shaped building will do!

Anyway, the minimum requirement is to have a separate bathroom and your own kitchen!

I definitely don’t consider the shantytown, it’s too run-down, too old, too dirty, and I’ll have to empty the chamber pot every morning…

It’s okay in winter now, Cheng Xuemin can bear it, but what about summer?
Anyway, Cheng Xuemin is totally not used to it!
So now he can earn royalties and his financial situation is good enough, but of course he wants a house with better conditions.

However, this is the way the times are and it cannot be changed by Cheng Xuemin’s will.

Houses with independent bathrooms and kitchens are hard to find throughout the year.

Especially this year is a critical turning point.

Millions of educated youth who had gone to the countryside returned to the city, and those who had been visited also returned to the city. The distribution of housing in Yanjing was already very tight.

Don’t say anything else!

Feng Jiayou's father is the chief editor of Chinese literature at the Foreign Languages ​​​​Bureau, and her mother is also the chief editor of October!
A family with two chief editors is still waiting for assignments from above, right?
So in this situation, there is only upward demand. Those who don’t have a house want to get a house above, and those who have a house want to live in a better one!
The really good properties and the ones that really want to change houses are basically exchanged between relatives and friends!

It is very rare to register with the Housing Authority's housing exchange station, let alone private house sales!

On the way back to Yanda, Cheng Xuemin comforted Feng Jiayou and told him to wait and see. If they waited any longer, maybe just as the street urchin said, there wouldn't even be a slum!

But even so, why would Cheng Xuemin spend two or three thousand to buy a shabby, dirty and messy tenement house?
I'd rather wait a little longer!
"It's okay, Xuemin, just wait a little longer! This is our first time here, and we haven't even been inside the Housing Management Office!"

"Let's come back in a couple of days. Maybe we can find a good house there."

Feng Jiayou was also dissatisfied with the slum. This was a house he bought himself, not a rented one or a house allocated by the government.

Buying your own house is a lifelong project, so you must choose one that you are satisfied with.

Say it again!

In fact, Feng Jiayou had never lived in a slum since she was a child. If she hadn't experienced life in northern Shaanxi for a few years, she would not have been able to get used to the slum that her family rents now.

"Yeah, that's right! I'll go there more often later! Even if there aren't many good houses in this housing authority, let's go farther and visit more housing authorities!"

Now there are several housing management offices of different sizes in various districts of Yanjing City. If there are no good houses here, just look around more often and you will always find a suitable and satisfactory one.

"Uh-huh!"

Feng Jiayou hugged Cheng Xuemin's old waist and buried her happy face in his coat.

"Beijia Jianying, what are you guys discussing? Why is it so noisy?"

Cheng Xuemin put Feng Jiayou downstairs in her dormitory and let her go upstairs to call for help by herself.

When Feng Jiayou entered the dormitory, he found that they were all there! They were all gathered around the desk and talking, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Eh? Jiayou, isn't it a day off today? Why are you in school? "

Huang Beijia's face flushed red, and he looked at Feng Jiayou at the door, also surprised, and asked in confusion.

Then, without waiting for Feng Jiayou to answer, he said quickly: "Jiayou, you came at the right time. You have also seen the new work "The Grass Heart" by the shepherd Lao Xu and "Female College Student Dormitory" by Kuang Yalan!"

"Which one do you think is better?"

"Just comparing "The Grass Is Beautiful" and "Female College Students' Dormitory", don't compare Lao Xu's "The Horse Shepherd," Cha Jianying added.

After the two people asked, the other classmates also looked at Feng Jiayou.

"Beijia Jianying, what's wrong with you? Why are you comparing Lao Xu's new work with Kuang Yalan's!?"

Feng Jiayou was stunned for a moment and didn't react. It turned out that they were gathered together arguing about this!
"My dear, don't you know yet?"

When Huang Beijia saw Feng Jiayou's reaction, she knew that she definitely didn't know yet, so she asked.

"I...what should I know?!"

Indeed, she was confused again. Feng Jiayou felt that she could not keep up with the pace of her roommates at all now that she lived at home!

Now, what should she know? !
Is it related to her man's article "The Gratitude of Love"? Is it also related to Kuang Yalan's "Female College Students' Dormitory" published in "Shanghai Literature and Art"? ?

But one of them was published in "Yenching Literature" in Yenching, and the other was published in "Shanghai Literature and Art" in Shanghai, which are more than a thousand kilometers apart.

Is there a story behind this?

"I knew you definitely didn't know!"

"Now it's spreading around Yanda that the author of 'Female College Students' Dormitory' is also a student of Yanda!"

Huang Beijia then told Feng Jiayou, which shocked Feng Jiayou so much that he asked, "Kuang Yalan is also from our Yanda University, is this true?"

"How could this be false? There is a record of Kuang Yalan's receipt of the letter in the message room. It is the manuscript fee for the sample issue of Shanghai Literature and Art. The security guard registered it at the time. There is no mistake!"

Huang Beijia said with a solemn vow.

"Is it really from our Yanda University? But do you know which department he is from?" Feng Jiayou's face was filled with disbelief. The author of "Female College Students' Dormitory" was actually from their Yanda University!
This news was too shocking for Feng Jiayou!
It was just like when Zha Jianying and Huang Beijia first knew that the author of The Shepherd, Lao Xu, was from Yanda University! The Shepherd did not impact Feng Jiayou before, after all, she knew that it was written by her husband.

But now there is a new author who seems to be on par with her man, and he is from Yan University. How could Feng Jiayou not be surprised?
"I don't know yet, but Kuang Yalan should be the author's real name, not a fancy pen name, so it will be known soon!"

Huang Beijia nodded, understanding it as a matter of course.

"That's true!"

The same goes for Feng Jiayou. When you hear the pen name Kuang Yalan, you know it is the author's real name, the same name she uses, Feng Jiayou.

Now that we know her real name, it should be easy to find out the author of "Female College Students' Dormitory", Kuang Yalan.

"I don't think so!" Cha Jianying shook his head and said, "Haven't you read "Female College Student Dormitory"? The heroine's name in it is Kuang Yalan. Would the author use his real name as the heroine?"

"So I still think that Kuang Yalan is just a pen name, just like the horse herder Lao Xu's!"

"Well, Jianying, what you said makes sense!" Feng Jiayou nodded repeatedly and asked curiously, "So which one do you think is better, Lao Xu's new work "The Grass Heart" or Kuang Yalan's "Female College Student Dormitory"?"

"Speaking objectively, I still think Kuang Yalan's article is better!" Cha Jianying said directly.

"Jianying, you betrayed the shepherd Xu so quickly!? You said it was because shepherd Xu didn't show up to watch a movie last night. I saw you coming out of the auditorium alone last night!"

Huang Beijia followed suit and joked about Zha Jianying, and continued, "Anyway, I still think that the article written by the shepherd Lao Xu is better!"

"Beijia, who said I was watching a movie in the auditorium? I had an appointment with the Wrangler Lao Xu?! Can you please stop talking nonsense!?"

Cha Jianying was so ashamed and angry after being teased by Huang Beijia that he tried to make excuses.

It was just last night when I came out of the auditorium and was seen by Huang Beijia who was passing by. I have no idea what it was!

I also know that the Wrangler Lao Xu is so popular. Most of the female classmates who watched a movie in the auditorium last night had secretly made an appointment with the Wrangler Lao Xu!
Cha Jianying was so embarrassed that he immediately covered his face and left the scene, unable to stay any longer!

"Hehe, what's the big deal! Anyway, you, Jianying, weren't the only female student who made an appointment with Wrangler Lao Xu to watch a movie last night!"

"Besides, I didn't just happen to be passing by there!"

Huang Beijia has a free and cheerful personality. Since she knows that her classmates have written reader letters to the shepherd Lao Xu and made appointments with him to watch a movie together, then what is there for her to hide?
Let's just admit it together!
"Ah?! Beijia, you you you...you also made an appointment with Wrangler Lao Xu to watch a movie last night? Why didn't you tell me!?" Cha Jianying asked with an even more embarrassed face.

"Jianying, you didn't tell me!" Huang Beijia glanced at her and said with a smile.

"You two...Okay, actually I admit it. I confessed that I also made an appointment with Wrangler Lao Xu to watch a movie together last night!"

Seeing Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying revealing each other's embarrassing stories, Feng Jiayou simply didn't even wait for Cheng Xuemin downstairs and just laid his cards on the table!

"What?! Feng Jiayou, are you serious? You also made an appointment with Lao Xu, the author of The Wrangler, to watch a movie together last night? Does your wife have any objection?" Huang Beijia was instantly stunned by Feng Jiayou and couldn't believe it at all.

You know, Feng Jiayou is different from them. She is a married woman and is pregnant.

Even with this, you dare to compete with them for an appointment with Wrangler Lao Xu?

"Jiayou, are you kidding me? Last time you said you wrote a love letter to the shepherd, we just thought it was a joke!"

Cha Jianying was also dumbfounded and looked at Feng Jiayou in disbelief.

Crazy!
Feng Jiayou is a female student with a family. Can she be like them?

The other girls in the dormitory also looked at Feng Jiayou with strange eyes, thinking that he must be joking.

Four out of the eight girls in their dormitory secretly wrote readers' letters to the shepherd Lao Xu!

But it was impossible for Feng Jiayou.

He must have done this joke on purpose to ease the tension between Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying.

"You don't believe it!?"

Feng Jiayou looked at their expressions and reactions and actually found it quite amusing.

"Do you think we can believe it?!"

Huang Beijia rolled his eyes and said, "You, Feng Jiayou, are the best at joking. I don't believe you at all!"

"That's right, Jiayou, you said you went to the auditorium to watch a movie last night! Then do you think the shepherd Lao Xu went?" Cha Jianying asked.

"Of course I went!"

"If the horse herder Lao Xu doesn't go, how could I possibly go?"

Feng Jiayou nodded confidently and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

"blow!"

"People say that Wrangler Lao Xu didn't go last night. It was Chen Jiangong from our Chinese Department who went. But we all know that Chen Jiangong is not Wrangler Lao Xu!"

Huang Beijia looked at Feng Jiayou with contempt, he was really just bragging!
You are still a married woman!

"They went! Not only did the horse herder Lao Xu go, but also Zhang Dening Bailing from Yanjing Literature went!"

"Why don't you believe it? What about this?"

Today, when she had a showdown with Huang Beijia and the others, Feng Jiayou brought all her family assets, including the dozens of movie tickets and the original copy of her royalties receipt!
"These are... movie tickets? How come you have so many movie tickets, my dear?"

"All of them are yesterday's movie tickets!?"

"This is the bill for the manuscript? The bill for the manuscript that Yanjing Literary Society gave to you, my dear? Oh my God, maybe the shepherd is you, my dear?"
