Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"Teacher Lin, do you have time to give a literature lecture at our Yenching University?"

“I love your work so much!”

"Teacher Lin is so young!"

"Teacher Lin, can you write a short story for our "Unnamed Lake" when you have time?"

Immediately afterwards, this group of literary youths ran over and surrounded Lin Zhengjun, their faces filled with excitement and admiration. They helped carry the luggage and started scrambling for it.

No one cares about other writers!

In fact, many of these people were admitted to Yenching University after working for many years, so they are older than Lin Zhengjun.

However, they really admired Lin Zhengjun for publishing "The Shepherd" in "People's Literature", and they called him "teacher" in a very cordial manner. Lin Zhengjun shook hands with them one by one and said a few words of polite encouragement.

Looking at this scene, Li Jun said sourly: "Oh, it's true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. We only see the new generation laughing, but not the old generation crying!"

Chang Xiangyu smiled and said, "You are old and can no longer write, but Zhengjun is at his most creative. Liu Xinwu must value him more!"

Li Peifu looked at it with envy: "A real man should be like this, keep up the good work!"

Zhang Yigong nodded heavily.

Seeing that Lin Zhengjun was so popular among Yan University students, Tang Xiaofu was shocked, but also felt a surge of pride in her heart.

Now I can vividly and truly feel the power of "The Horse Wrangler"!

"Zhengjun and all the teachers, let's get in the car and go to Jingxi Hotel!"

Liu Xinwu pointed to the Skoda Korosa cars behind him, half of which were painted crimson, and the dull and powerful roar of three diesel engines.

The Korosa is a very cool vehicle. It was the first batch of diesel articulated vehicles replaced by Yanjing in 74. There are only more than 332 of them now, all on routes 1 and .

These are the three vehicles that the National Congress of Literature and Art Organizing Committee borrowed from the city bus company for pick-up purposes.

Oh, just imagine how difficult it is now. The National Federation of Literary and Art Circles is holding a representative meeting, and Mr. Deng has to attend it, and he even needs to borrow a car.

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "I will go to the venue tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Today, I want to visit my relatives first!"

"Oh, you want to go to Tang Zhiqing's house? That's no problem."

Liu Xinwu smiled and said, "You can play for two days first. Then I will pick you up, as long as you don't delay the opening ceremony on the 30th!"

In fact, everyone had just noticed Tang Xiaofu.

The reason is simple: Tang Xiaofu is so beautiful, and her clothes are very fashionable and stylish.

Now that they have figured out the relationship between the two, everyone is envious.

Girls envy Tang Xiaofu, boys envy Lin Zhengjun and admire him very much!

Teacher Lin is amazing and knows how to pursue girls. I will definitely ask for his advice later!

Liu Xinwu asked Tang Xiaofu, "Tang Zhiqing, where do you live?"

"No. 5, Zhongguancun South Street, Zizhuyuan Street, the faculty and staff family compound of Yenching Institute of Technology." Tang Xiaofu said crisply.

"Wow, so your family is a scholarly family, no wonder your writing is so good!"

Liu Xinwu praised with a smile and gave Lin Zhengjun a look whose meaning was very clear: you have to hold on to such a good girl!

"Then we can go there. Once we get to Jingxi Hotel, we can find a car to go there. There are buses and tricycles in that area!"

"it is good!"

Everyone got on the car together.

Starting from Yanjing Station and heading west along Chang'an Avenue, Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu sat by the window, looking around with interest: Dongdan, Wangfujing, Union Medical College...

In his previous life, in the early 1990s, he also went to Yanjing as a migrant worker to do business.

More than ten years have passed, and Yanjing now is quite different from what I remember.

The sky is always gray and filled with wind and sand. The buildings are not as tall and grand as they were in the 90s. The streets still do not have uniform roadside trees. Many roads are bare and very monotonous. It would be nice if a few poplar trees could be planted.

It was not until the Sixth Congress in 1987 that Sophora japonica and Platycladus orientalis were designated as the city trees of Yanjing, and roses and chrysanthemums were designated as the city flowers.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yanjing at this time is like a large prefecture-level city in the 21st century, and it must be below the third tier.

But this also shows from one side how rapidly Yanjing and even the entire country have developed after the reform and opening up!

Tang Xiaofu looked excited and kept introducing the surrounding buildings to Lin Zhengjun.

This is where she grew up. She is very familiar with it and knows all the scenic spots here.

When we arrived at the Beijing West Hotel, we saw that the main building was square, a typical Soviet-style architecture. To the north was the newly established CCTV, and further north was the Yuyuantan Park. The area that later became the China Millennium Monument was still a wasteland at that time.

Lin Zhengjun asked Li Peifu to help him carry his backpack filled with books.

He carried a backpack, which contained his and Tang Xiaofu's spare clothes, and a sack of gifts for Professor Zhou and others.

After bidding farewell to Liu Xinwu and the others, Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu came to the bus stop not far from the hotel entrance, planning how to take the bus home.

At this time, a scoundrel-looking young man came over on a tricycle and asked with a playful smile: "Sir, do you want a tricycle to take you there? I'll take you there for free."

No need to ask, it must be the unemployed and idle young people who became Xiangzi in order to make a living, the Didi Taxi of this era.

But this is a service similar to the taxi business, not a regular taxi. Regular taxis can only be state-owned and are sedans.

In 1951, in order to solve the problem of vehicle reception for foreign affairs activities, Capital Car Rental Company was established. It was the first state-owned taxi company in my country.

During that decade, taxi riding was viewed as a decadent bourgeois lifestyle and was criticized, causing the taxi industry to shrink dramatically.

In the early 70s, various foreign affairs activities increased in the capital, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other large cities, and taxis appeared on the streets again. However, not everyone could take a taxi. Basically, they only served foreign guests and required foreign exchange coupons. It was not until 84 that the capital began to have individual taxis.

Tang Xiaofu asked quickly: "How much does it cost to go from here to the Beijing Film Studio and then to the staff quarters of Yanjing University of Technology?"

Under the guidance of Lin Zhengjun, the script of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" has been written.

But Tang Xiaofu felt that it was not perfect, and it was estimated that the Beijing Film Studio would have to give a lot of revision suggestions. If they were given it as soon as possible, they would be able to give timely suggestions and facilitate revisions. After all, Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu would only stay in Yanjing for about 20 days.

"Hey, judging by your accent, you must be from Yanjing, an educated youth who returned to the city?"

The young man still smiled and said, "Well, I was also an educated youth. I won't charge you more. I will charge you one dollar. Is that okay with you?"

"I'm not asking for an exorbitant price. From here to Beijing Film Studio and Zhongguancun, it's out of the city. It's 20 miles round trip. One dollar from you is not too much!"

At present, the urban area of ​​the capital is still very small. Generally speaking, leaving the second ring road is equivalent to leaving Yanjing City.

Zhongguancun has been developed to the northwest corner of the Third Ring Road, and that area can now be considered a suburb.

Before 1980, Haidian was positioned as an agricultural area. It was the non-staple food base for the entire Yanjing area, providing a large amount of fruits and vegetables to the capital.

Therefore, on both sides of Baiyi Road, which is Zhongguancun Avenue, there are still large areas of forests, wilderness and cemeteries from time to time. As for the Beijing Film Studio, near Jimen Bridge on the North Third Ring Road, the surrounding area is also desolate.

"Okay! Let's take a tricycle!" Lin Zhengjun put the luggage on the tricycle.

"Do you know anyone at the Beijing Film Studio?" The young man asked as he stepped onto the road, lifted up the collar of his jacket, wiped the sweat off his face.

"Yes, I know Xie Tieli."

"You, why are you looking for someone from Beijing Film Studio?" The young man looked at Lin Zhengjun with awe and curiosity.

"Send the script."

"Fuck, you can write a script, man, that's awesome!"

The young man immediately looked at Lin Zhengjun with new eyes, and even spoke in a more refined manner: "May I ask your name, brother?"

"Pen name: Chu Kuang Ren!"

"Damn, you are actually Chu Kuangren. I am also a literary youth and your loyal reader. You are so awesome. It is my honor to invite you today!" The young man shouted with joy, his eyes flashing with fanaticism.

"You're welcome, buddy. I'm just an ordinary person." Lin Zhengjun was helpless. Look, everyone is a literary youth.
