Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

The next day was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Everyone gathered at the cooperative early again. It was so lively. Everyone had dark circles under their eyes. The members of the entire Hewan Brigade turned into pandas.

Lin Zhengjun didn't want to join in the fun, so he taught Wei Hongbing how to change channels and videotapes, and then he and Tang Xiaofu stayed in the new house to read and review.

The plan is still to play TV during the day and videotapes at night. He has no interest in TV programs, so he will go when the movie videos are shown at night.

The two were reading when they heard the roar of a car engine at the door.

"Is the sedan coming?"

"It's Chinese New Year, why would anyone come?"

Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw that several middle-aged men had gotten out of a Shanghai-brand car.

Bai Zhiyuan and Xu Zhigong, and the other person is Zhu Huaijing, the deputy mayor of Huanghuai City - before that, when Xie Tieli and others from Beijing Film Studio came, he also came.

There were several people who looked like cadres behind them, one of whom was Guo Kaisheng, director of the county cultural bureau.

"Comrade Zhengjun, Deputy Mayor Zhu is in charge of science, education, culture and health. He came to visit and express his condolences today and to see you and Tang Xiaofu!" Bai Zhiyuan said happily.

"Ah? Deputy Mayor Zhu, it's winter now and the New Year is almost over. I'm really touched that you came to see me!" Lin Zhengjun shook hands and greeted him.

He thought it was fun!

I was visiting and offering condolences yesterday, but today I was the one being visited and offered condolences instead!

Zhu Huaijing said with a big smile on his face: "Comrade Zhengjun, you are the literary star of our Huaibian County and even Huanghuai City. You are a living signboard of our literary and artistic circles! It would be inappropriate if I didn't come to see you! The superiors now attach great importance to artists!"

"It's cold outside, leaders, please come in and sit down!" Tang Xiaofu said gracefully.

Zhu Huaijing nodded with a smile and walked inside. Bai Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Tang Zhiqing also deserves half of the credit for Zhengjun's military achievements in literary creation!"

Tang Xiaofu smiled and said, "I am just the writer. The creativity and story all depend on Zhengjun. I only have a small role in the military medal!"

Zhu Huaijing glanced at Tang Xiaofu with admiration and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife. Tang Zhiqing is not only virtuous, but also talented. Zhengjun, you are so lucky!"

Lin Zhengjun laughed and said, "Haha, that's true!"

Tang Xiaofu smiled and said, "Deputy Mayor Zhu, you can't say that. I was the child of an enemy spy. The young people tried to avoid me, but only the regular army was willing to take me in!"

Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Now that the hat has been taken off, I have finally achieved my goal! This is what they call poverty and sorrow make one succeed!"

Everyone laughed.

It can be seen that Zhu Huaijing is a man of culture, otherwise how could he be in charge of cultural affairs. Writers and intellectuals are not convinced that a rough guy is in charge of this field.

Zhu Huaijing did not go in immediately, but stood in the yard and looked around, then looked at the house and said with a smile: "Zhengjun, this yard is beautiful. I have traveled all over the rural areas of the city, and I think you are the only one who can build such a nice house!"

"Zhengjun is also planning to buy a courtyard house in Yanjing!" Xu Zhigong said jokingly.

"Haha, this plan has been implemented!" Lin Zhengjun laughed.

He is

"Where is it?" Zhu Huaijing was very interested.

"It's in Gongjian Hutong, not far from Jingshan Park and just over one kilometer away from the Forbidden City. It used to be the courtyard of the famous writer Ye Junjian." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"Wow! What a great place!" Zhu Huaijing exclaimed.

He didn't know where Gongjian Hutong was, but he knew about the Forbidden City, Jingshan Park and Ye Junjian.

"How big is it?" Zhu Huaijing asked again.

"There are seventeen or eighteen rooms, and the yard is about five to six hundred square meters..." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"Ouch! You can even run a horse here!"

"Seventeen or eighteen rooms, that's too spacious. My house only has two rooms, more than 20 square meters, and they are only available to working couples!"

Everyone was envious.

Although they were cadres, they were confined to the county town, and it was not easy for them to go to Yanjing. However, Lin Zhengjun had already bought a big house in Beijing.

After looking at the yard, everyone walked into the room and sat down. Tang Xiaofu made tea for everyone and served it to the leaders.

Zhu Huaijing asked about the filming of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" and the projects of Great Wall Films, and Lin Zhengjun gave a brief account.

Zhu Huaijing was very happy and said, "Zhengjun, you have brought honor to our Hewan Brigade this time. I heard that the coastal cities in the south are already attracting Hong Kong businessmen to invest and set up businesses. You may become a friendly bridge between us and the Hong Kong businessmen!"

It is obvious that these words are from the reformists.

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "The land and water nurture the people. I will do my best to help, and I also hope that the elders and fellow villagers can live a good life."

Zhu Huaijing continued, "The city has learned about your outstanding achievements in literary creation and held a meeting. They want to make an exception and promote you to be the part-time vice chairman of the Municipal Writers Association and the part-time vice chairman of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and enjoy the treatment of a deputy director! I wonder what you think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lin Zhengjun with envy!

People like them have been working for half their lives and are just section-level or department-level cadres, but Lin Zhengjun is only in his early twenties and is already enjoying the treatment of a deputy department-level official!

Although the vice chairman of the Writers Association and the vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles are both honorary positions, they are still very useful given that the country attaches great importance to cultural undertakings!

In fact, since Lin Zhengjun joined the Central Plains Writers Association, Central Plains Province has remitted 18 yuan of creative allowance to him every month.

But Lin Zhengjun never took this money seriously. As the chairman of the Writers Association, his allowance was just at this level, so Lin Zhengjun naturally didn't take it to heart.

What he is thinking about is enjoying the treatment of deputy director level!

If you want to get a sleeper ticket by train now, you need a certificate from a section-level cadre. In the past, when he wanted to take a sleeper berth, the train station had to use the Beijing Film Studio's reputation to help him.

To put it bluntly, with this "deputy director-level treatment", he will have a lot more convenience in the future, and he won't have to ask others for help every time he buys a sleeper ticket.

Lin Zhengjun said politely: "Deputy Mayor Zhu, of course I want to lead our city's writers and artists to contribute to the prosperity of the country's cultural and artistic undertakings, but I am too young and I don't have many works. Is it too big a step?"

Seeing Lin Zhengjun so modest, Zhu Huaijing liked him even more and said with a smile: "Zhengjun, you are too modest! The literary and artistic field is different from other industries. It depends on qualifications, but it cannot be based solely on qualifications. If you have solid works, you deserve it!"

In fact, with Lin Zhengjun's qualifications, he can now change his agricultural household registration to non-agricultural household registration and work as a full-time creator in the county cultural bureau!

Well, this is the path that Teacher Yu Hua took!

In this case, Lin Zhengjun can become a full-time vice chairman of the Writers Association and vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles!

But before that, he also sought Bai Zhiyuan's opinion!

Bai Zhiyuan had only one word - firmly opposed.

At that time, Zhu Huaijing thought that Bai Zhiyuan and Lin Zhengjun had a grudge. When he went to the Cultural Bureau to work as a creator, he would be a state cadre!

But after Bai Zhiyuan's explanation, he understood.
