Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Xiao Wenhua wiped her tears and sighed, "It's so well written and touching, better than "Class Teacher" and "Scars"!"

Zhao Xueruo exclaimed: "This article "The Horse Herder" is so important that it can surpass all other scar literature. It will definitely cause a sensation once it is published!"

In November 1977, Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher" was published in "People's Literature", which caused a sensation.

On August 1978, 8, Wenhui Daily published Lu Xinhua's "Scars", which triggered a reading craze among readers in Shanghai.

Wenhui Daily printed 180 million copies of the current issue in a short period of time, but it still could not meet the reading needs of the majority of readers.

The influence of "Scars" has expanded rapidly in China with readers' reading and discussion. Not only readers, but also literary and cultural circles have begun to discuss this novel.

In less than a month, it became popular all over the country.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Lin published "The Road of Life" and Ye Xin published "Wasted Years"... Works with similar themes emerged in endlessly, which was spectacular!

This group of works resonated strongly among readers, especially educated youth and cadres who were sent down to work in the countryside, and was called "scar literature" in the history of literature of the new era.

"Yes, most scar novels in the past regarded that period of time as a nightmare that is hard to look back on."

Lin Zhengjun said: "The work is full of suffering, tragic life transitions, the ugliness of human nature, mutual deception, oppression, and mutual exploitation. The basic tone is basically a venting of resentment."

"What makes The Shepherd different is that the protagonist Xu Lingjun's spirit is sublimated through labor and suffering, forming the excellent character of an intellectual and a truly noble soul."

“The work does not simply equate labor with suffering, nor is it intended to complain or vent.”

"It is to highlight the preciousness of the beautiful emotions and shining humanity of the working people, and to enthusiastically eulogize the hard work and kindness of the working people. The depth comes all at once!"

As soon as Lin Zhengjun said this, the whole audience fell silent.

Everyone was deeply shocked by Lin Zhengjun's profound literary attainments!

"Zhengjun is worthy of being the first author. He hit the nail on the head in an instant!" Xiao Wenhua said admiringly.

"Yes, the idea is much higher, and the work has already won 70%!" Zhao Xueruo said excitedly.

"Also, Tang Xiaofu's narration is calmer and more restrained, and she tells the story in a leisurely manner, forming an artistic style that is vigorous, profound, solemn, and full of philosophical and speculative colors."

Lin Zhengjun said: "Previous scar literature was too hasty and straightforward in its narration, and its writing style was childish and artificial. It had obvious traces of artificiality and its artistic level was not high."

“Strictly speaking, The Horse Herder has already departed from the category of scar literature. It would be more accurate to call it reflective literature!”

When everyone heard this, they became even more excited, and they all said at once: "Then you two have established your own sect!"

"Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu are so awesome!"

Tang Xiaofu felt embarrassed by the compliment. Her face blushed and she whispered, "That's really exaggerated! Is my writing really that good?"

"Be more confident, your writing is so good!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "There is no problem in publishing it in People's Literature!"

That’s right, Lin Zhengjun plans to publish this novel in "People's Literature" this time.

The reason is simple. People's Literature is a monthly magazine and is published on time.

"October" is a quarterly magazine, and its publication and distribution are not very regular. Who knows when it will be published.

I can only stand Liu Xinwu up!

I gave you a chance, but you didn’t use it!

The reason why Lin Zhengjun was eager to publish "The Horse Shepherd" was not for the royalties, but to use product placement advertising to support the sales of yellow peaches and hemp candies in Yanjing!

Driven by product placement, I believe that “Laogandie” brand sesame candy and canned food will become a big hit in Yanjing!

As long as we can make a good start this time, Song Zhilan's subsequent orders will not be a problem.

Song Zhilan’s meaning was very clear. I can help you, but the blacksmith must be strong himself. Only if the product sells well will she order the second and third batches of products!

"Hiss! People's Literature is the country's top literary magazine, with the largest circulation and the greatest influence!"

"It's a hit! This time Zhengjun and Xiaofu are going to be famous all over the country!"

Everyone was very happy, as if they had written the novel and were proud of it.

"Oh, the novel talks about Lao Gandie canned yellow peaches and sesame candies. Once it is published, will our products be able to be sold well?" Zhao Xueruo suddenly thought of the key point and said with anticipation.

Lin Zhengjun looked at her with appreciation.

No wonder this girl became a wealthy woman in her later life and achieved great success in the field of heavy equipment.

She does have advanced business awareness and a keen sense of the market.

"Yes!"

Xiao Wenhua also suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Look at this description of eating canned food and sesame candy. It's a full 500 words. I'm so hungry after reading it. I'm sure other readers are the same!"

Tang Xiaofu said with a little pride: "Yes, this is Zhengjun's idea, it was done deliberately, it's called product placement!"

"Product placement? That's new!"

"Zhengjun, you are so awesome!"

"You can come up with such a tricky idea!"

"Once the novel is published, our products will definitely be in short supply. Maybe all the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores across the country will come to us to place orders!"

Everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation, and they immediately felt that sales would not be a problem!

"Well, once the novel is published, the Lao Gan Die brand will be a huge hit, and orders will come in like snowflakes!"

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "Comrades, time is short and the task is heavy. We have to speed up the production of hemp candy!"

"Okay, let's get to work!"

Everyone was full of hope and anticipation, full of energy, and discussed the novel with great interest, and gradually dispersed.

Tang Xiaofu asked: "Zhengjun, do you have any other suggestions for revision?"

"There are still a few things that need to be modified!"

Lin Zhengjun picked up the manuscript paper and went to the study, unscrewed the pen, and quickly changed a dozen details.

After reading it, Tang Xiaofu pulled over a chair, leaned over the desk, picked up a stack of new manuscript paper, and said with a smile, "You've made good revisions. I'll copy it!"

……

On the same evening, in the County Public Security Bureau, in the Criminal Police Team’s conference room.

He Jian, the chief commander of the task force, is making pre-war mobilization before the arrest!

"Brothers, this is a merit that comes right to our doorstep. If we don't catch him, we'll be damned useless!"

He Jian shouted, "Tonight, everyone, be alert. If anyone lets the robbers go, I will take off your uniform!"

"Yes, Captain He!" More than thirty people shouted in unison, their morale high!

He Jian began to arrange surveillance: "Xiao Wu, five people from your police station should be stationed in the sweet potato cellar in the green tent, 100 meters north of the bank!"

"Hu Deping, you three are on the roof of the Education and Sports Bureau in the east, and Lao Mo, you lead the team on the main road in the west..."

"Everyone must stay hidden and not be discovered by the robbers!"

"Yes! Captain He!"

"Let's go now and arrive at the control location in advance!"

He Jian looked at the time on his Shanghai watch and immediately spoke loudly.

It's twelve o'clock in the evening, most people are resting, and the robbers must not have taken any action yet. It's the best time to set up surveillance!

Wow!

More than 30 police officers and militiamen ran downstairs, got on police cars and sidecar motorcycles, drove out of the Public Security Bureau compound, and sped towards North Street without turning on their headlights or police lights.

When approaching the control location, everyone carefully parked the police vehicle in a hidden place and arrived on foot, so as not to alert the enemy.

"Well, this is it!"

Walking to a big locust tree near the bank, He Jian used his hands and feet, like a nimble monkey, to climb up the tree and ride on the branches.

This big locust tree has dense branches and leaves, making it easy to hide.

The key is located 40 meters west of the bank's back wall, with an excellent view and clear vision, with nothing hidden.

"The first credit must be mine, no one can escape!" He Jian wiped his pistol and muttered to himself excitedly.

"No! The credit must be mine, hehehe!"

Suddenly, a soft laugh sounded above my head. It was late at night and it sounded like a ghost's cry.

"My grass!"

He Jian's materialistic heart was almost shattered, and he was so frightened that he staggered and nearly fell from the tree.

"Mr. Bai, what are you doing?"

He Jian looked up.

Bai Weiguo was seen riding on a high tree branch with a telescope hanging solemnly around his neck.

He was also carrying a gun, which looked like an outdated Type 38 rifle.
