Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"Who is Liu Xinwu? Is he famous?" Lin Zhengjun just felt that he sounded a little familiar.

"The author of "Class Teacher", the pioneer of scar literature, is now an editor in the editorial department of "October"!" Tang Xiaofu said excitedly.

"He's amazing!"

Zhao Xueruo's eyes lit up. "Harvest, a magazine founded by Mr. Ba Jin, was re-published this year, and Liu Xinwu published two works in the re-published issue! He is extremely popular and well-known throughout the country. My classmates say that he is now an idol in the Yenching literary circle!"

"Oh, him!"

Lin Zhengjun had some impression.

Liu Xinwu also served as the editor-in-chief of "People's Literature" for a period of time, but later got into trouble and stepped down. Later, he wrote "Bell and Drum Tower" and won the Mao Dun Literature Prize.

What is really well known to the public is that he talked about "Dream of the Red Chamber" on the "One Hundred Schools of Thought" program, but Lin Zhengjun thinks that this guy is just talking nonsense and is obsessed with seeking the hidden meaning.

Tang Xiaofu opened the envelope.

A remittance slip;

A copy of the third issue of October in 1979. When the magazine was first published, it did not even have a publication number. It was similar to a series of books. It was called a quarterly magazine, but in fact it was published irregularly.

There is also a handwritten letter from Liu Xinwu.

"Published! Great! Zhengjun, you're awesome!"

Tang Xiaofu was so happy that she quickly read the letter. Suddenly, she hugged Lin Zhengjun's neck and kissed him hard on the cheek. Then she said, "Liu Xinwu also said in the letter that your poem is very well written. All the editors highly praised it and hope that you can submit more articles to their magazines!"

Lin Zhengjun touched the cheek that she had kissed, feeling a little surprised and a little sweet!

So unrestrained?

He actually kissed me!

Zhao Xueruo was fed a handful of dog food, and blushed as she spat, "You two are so shameless that you don't even bother to avoid people!"

Tang Xiaofu's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. She was so excited just now that she kissed Lin Zhengjun in front of Zhao Xueruo. Now that she calmed down, she felt quite embarrassed.

Lin Zhengjun didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Who asked you to be a light bulb?"

"Then I'll go?"

"No, you are responsible for cooking!"

"Ah yeah, I'm so pissed!"

"Ah?" Lin Zhengjun took a look at the remittance slip and was immediately disappointed: "It's only ten yuan. I'm too lazy to collect it!"

"You are such a disgusting person!"

Zhao Xueruo kicked his calf and said in a coquettish voice, "It only took you one minute to write this poem. You made ten dollars a minute, and you still think it's not enough. Is there any justice in the world?"

Tang Xiaofu smiled and said, "Zhengjun, this poem is relatively short, so this is the highest you can get for it. You can try writing a novel, 10,000 words would be 40 or 50 yuan!"

"Oh, I want to write too, but I don't have time. I want to make a lot of money by canning yellow peaches!" Lin Zhengjun said with difficulty.

"But……"

Tang Xiaofu's beautiful eyes flashed with deep disappointment and she said, "That's a pity. You are talented in literature!"

"How about I conceive the story and you write it, and we can create it together?" Lin Zhengjun thought for a moment and suddenly said.

"Ah? Can this still happen?"

"Why not!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "I have read your essays, as well as your report "A Pair of Hands" about Wei Hongqi's deeds. They are both very good!"

After hearing what he said, Tang Xiaofu, who already loved literature, was immediately itching to learn something. She immediately said, "Then tell me a story and I'll try to write one!"

"Let's talk while we make lunch..."

Lin Zhengjun immediately washed his hands and started cooking, saying, "The story I'm telling you happened on the prairie in Inner Mongolia. It's about a group of horse herders..."

Lunch was ready and Lin Zhengjun had finished his speech.

Zhao Xueruo's tears kept falling, and no matter how hard she tried to wipe them away, she couldn't stop crying: "Zhengjun, your story is so good and touching!"

Tang Xiaofu also burst into tears: "Wow, the relationship between Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi is so pure and beautiful."

How can it not be touching?

In another time and space, the novel "Spirit and Flesh" was published by Zhang Xianliang in the early 80s. Once published, it caused a national sensation and won numerous awards.

It also made the author famous in the literary world and established his position in the history of literary development in the new era.

Moreover, this novel was chosen by the famous director Xie Jin of Shanghai Film Studio and adapted into the movie "The Shepherd" in 1982, with Zhu Shimao playing the role of Xu Lingjun and Cong Shan playing the role of Li Xiuzhi. Once the film was released, it triggered a viewing craze and won the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award.

The story goes that in the late 1970s, Xu Lingjun, an elementary school teacher who had worked as a horse herder on the Chi Lechuan Ranch in Northwest China for most of his life, traveled all the way to the Yanjing Hotel to meet his father, Xu Jingyou, an overseas Chinese entrepreneur in the United States, whom he had not seen for 30 years.

At that time, Xu Jingyou, who pursued personal freedom, could not stand the wrong marriage with his wife, so he left his wife and children and went to the United States. This time, he returned with the intention of bringing Xu Lingjun back to the United States to inherit his business.

During the conversation, Xu Lingjun did not think that integrating himself into the collective and always putting national interests first was a manifestation of outdated thinking, nor did he envy his father's comfortable life.

Looking back on the path I have taken over the past few decades, although I had tragic experiences of being an abandoned child in my childhood and being labeled as an old rightist and forced to wander the pastures in my youth, I have also felt the warmth of human nature from the simple and kind-hearted villagers in the pastoral areas many times.

After marrying the unfortunate girl Li Xiuzhi during the difficult years, Xu Lingjun tasted the bitterness and sweetness of happiness after all the hardships.

He believes that the country has finally emerged from the cold winter, the ice and snow have melted, and spring has returned to the earth. Individuals should stay with their relatives and friends and follow it towards a new life.

So he refused his father's invitation to take him back to the United States and chose to live and work with his wife, children, and fellow villagers!

Who would have thought that more than 30 years later, this movie would become popular again on the Internet.

"Lao Xu, do you want a wife or not?" "Science fiction! This love movie is more sci-fi than "The Three-Body Problem"" has become a hot topic on the Internet.

At the same time, the rating on Douban also soared to 9.1 points!

Lin Zhengjun particularly likes the original novel and movie.

He felt that the simple, kind, hardworking and capable Li Xiuzhi in the movie was a replica of Tang Xiaofu.

In his previous life, after he became successful, he would watch the film again while drinking red wine when he had nothing to do.

I fell asleep while watching, and when I woke up, my pillow was wet with tears.

He was already familiar with the plots and even every detail in the novels and movies, so he could describe them vividly and touchingly.

"How about it? Are you willing to write?" Lin Zhengjun asked with a smile.

"I do! I must write down such a touching story!"

Tang Xiaofu took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, her little face full of determination.

In fact, Tang Xiaofu did not play any role in "A Generation", she just helped Lin Zhengjun copy it.

But when she was writing the novel, her level of involvement was very high, which made her more interested.

"Then write!"

Lin Zhengjun not only wants to make money by publishing novels, he also has a plan.

That is to combine his products with the plot of the novel and do a wave of product placement advertising, which will surely make canned yellow peaches and sesame candies an instant hit and sell well across the country!

At noon, the young members came to the Lin family for lunch.

Tang Xiaofu proudly took out the October magazine and said with a smile, "Everyone, take a look. Zhengjun's Generation has been published!"

"Zheng Jun is awesome!"

"This is the famous October!"

"'A Generation' will surely become a national sensation!"

The local members were not aware of the importance of "October", but the educated youth were extremely excited. There was an uproar, shock and envy.

Especially those female educated youth, they envied Tang Xiaofu to the extreme! She could make money and was talented in writing. Where could you find such a perfect partner?

Lin Sanhuai and Zhang Shuqin understood the whole story and couldn't believe it: "What? Zhengjun published a poem?"

"Mom and Dad, look, there's still money for the manuscript, ten dollars!"

Tang Xiaofu took out the magazine and the remittance slip and showed them to the two of them, then suddenly froze unconsciously.

Oh, how come I suddenly changed my tune, and did it so smoothly? !

It was a little embarrassing, and the blush spread across her face...

Seeing the cute little appearance of the silly girl, Lin Zhengjun couldn't help laughing.

"That's great! Our son finally got published. Now Zhengjun can show off his reputation and get paid for his work!"

"Just these few words are worth ten yuan? One word is worth fifty cents? This, this, writing articles is too profitable!"

Watching their son's poem turned into lead type, Lin Sanhuai and Zhang Shuqin felt a special sense of satisfaction and honor, and they couldn't stop smiling.
