Literary Master 1978

It has been nearly two months since The Horse Herder was published in Yanjing Literature and Art. It has been well received by readers and critics. In the past month, many critics have expressed their opinions on this novel, which has further expanded the discussion and influence of this novel.

Liang Zuo was so excited that he trembled when he was able to communicate closely with the author of such an influential and excellent work.

Lin Chaoyang said a few words to him. This guy spoke quickly and trembled, as if the tape recorder was stuck. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Yaozhong: What's wrong with your guy?

"Don't worry about him, he is like this. He trembles when he is excited, and the key is that he can talk a lot without stopping."

The fact is indeed as Zhang Yaozhong said. Liang Zuo is excited and trembling, but his thinking is very clear, and you can vaguely see the shadow of the "comedy master" of later generations.

When Liang Zuo discussed the techniques and ideas of novel creation with Lin Chaoyang, Lin Chaoyang wanted to say to him: Go home and ask your mother!

This is not a curse word.

Later generations all know that Liang Zuo is a well-known comedy screenwriter, the screenwriter of the classic sitcoms "I Love My Family" and "Idle Ma Sister", and he first became famous on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

In 1986, Jiang Kun took the crosstalk "Tiger's Mouth Reverie" to the Spring Festival Gala stage and became a hit. Liang Zuo was the screenwriter of this crosstalk.

The reason why the two had this cooperation on the Spring Festival Gala stage was that Jiang Kun was exhausted at the time and wanted to seek help from the well-known domestic female writer Chen Rong, who was Liang Zuo's mother.

Jiang Kun saw Liang Zuo's newly created novel "Tiger's Mouth Escape" at Chen Rong's home, and he liked the novel at first sight. He persuaded Liang Zuo to adapt the novel into a crosstalk of the same name, so the two later cooperated and the crosstalk became a hit.

With a writer mother, Liang Zuo's help to others in the matter of creation is really far away.

But Lin Chaoyang could probably guess Liang Zuo's thoughts. Young people always have some inexplicable arrogance. How can they be considered heroes if they rely on their parents?

The two of them talked for nearly an hour, and Liang Zuo was finally satisfied.

Zhang Yaozhong talked to Lin Chaoyang for a few more words, and he noticed the watch on Lin Chaoyang's wrist.

He looked surprised, "When did you buy the watch? It's our Shanghai brand!"

Lin Chaoyang put his hand down, pulled his cuffs to cover the watch, and looked plain and unpretentious.

Zhang Yaozhong was about to praise him for being low-key, when he heard Lin Chaoyang say, "Your sister-in-law bought it for you."

I asked unnecessary questions!

A few days later, the exam season of Yanda University came to an end, and both teachers and students were preparing for the winter vacation.

Tao's mother has been swiping TV tickets these days. The family had agreed to buy a TV before, but many things these days cannot be bought with money.

Even eating requires food coupons, let alone a high-tech industrial product like a TV?

Unfortunately, this thing is in short supply now, and it is not easy to find. In the end, my brother-in-law got a TV ticket from a colleague at their school, and he treated him to a meal before he spent any money.

On the night when he got the TV ticket back, my brother-in-law was very pleased at the dinner table. After all, not everyone can get a TV ticket without spending any money. If this thing is sold outside, it must be worth at least dozens of yuan.

In the end, I don’t know what nerve Zhao Li touched. She, who has never had a sense of existence at home, rarely said: "Don’t you see how many meals you usually treat at school?"

People say, don’t push honest people to a corner, otherwise you won’t even have a chance to apologize.

Obviously, my brother-in-law pushed my sister-in-law Zhao Li, an honest person, to a corner tonight.

At this time, his face was a little embarrassed, "Look, why are you saying this? It's just a matter of personal relationships, between friends..."

"Okay!" The elder brother-in-law's sophistry was interrupted by Tao's father, who said in a deep voice: "You should thank the person who received the TV ticket. Your children are so old, you should take care of the family, don't always let others clean up your ass."

Tao's father's words were puns, and the elder brother-in-law was speechless, but the one with the worst face at the dinner table was Tao's mother.

Sister-in-law Zhao Li and elder brother-in-law are a couple, husband and wife are one, there is no question of cleaning up ass, and it is self-evident who Tao's father's words refer to.

At this time, Lin Chaoyang was observing the expression of his wife, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the crazy twitching corners of her mouth all told of her good mood.

When he returned to the room, Tao Yushu finally couldn't help laughing, vividly interpreting what it means to gloat over others' misfortunes.

"Look how happy you are! Are you so happy when your brother is scolded?"

Tao Yushu smiled and said, "The key is not my brother, but my mother. My father likes to save face for others, and he would never say anything about my mother. But today my sister-in-law got angry, so my father has to express his attitude, right?"

In fact, even if Tao Yushu didn't say it, Lin Chaoyang would understand. Although the eldest sister-in-law Zhao Li usually kept silent in the Tao family and was like a punching bag in the eldest brother Tao Yucheng, her status in the Tao family was much higher than that of Lin Chaoyang, the "son-in-law".

The eldest brother-in-law was sent down to Yunnan. If he hadn't married the eldest sister-in-law Zhao Li, he might not have been able to return to Yanjing in his life.

What's more, the eldest sister-in-law Zhao Li was willing to give up her job in Yunnan for the sake of the family and followed the eldest brother-in-law to Yanjing. Their family conditions in Yunnan are not bad.

From the perspective of later generations, the eldest sister-in-law must be considered a "love brain".

Tao Yushu didn't pay attention, Lin Chaoyang found the eldest brother-in-law and gave him fifty yuan.

"What is this for?"

"The money for the TV ticket. This ticket is a favor from you. I don't care how you return it. Everyone will watch it after buying the TV. Yushu and I will also contribute some money."

To buy a TV set, Tao's father, the head of the family, had to pay the bulk. Not counting that Tao Yumo was still in school, and his eldest brother-in-law contributed a TV ticket, so it was understandable that they would spend some money.

"Brother-in-law, be particular!" Tao Yucheng gave Lin Chaoyang a thumbs up.

"Don't tell Yushu."

The eldest brother-in-law understood this well, which man didn't have some private money and would use his private money to do things, which made him feel that Lin Chaoyang, his brother-in-law, was capable of handling things.

When Lin Chaoyang returned to the room and was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door.

It was Tao Yumo who knocked on the door. Tao Yushu asked, "What's the matter?"

"I'm looking for my brother-in-law!"

Looking for your brother-in-law?

Tao Yushu glanced at Lin Chaoyang, when did the relationship between you two become so good?

Lin Chaoyang returned her look: How could I know?

Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised by her sister-in-law's sudden change of attitude, but this girl had a habit of being soft-spoken, and her current attitude must be that she wanted something from her.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

Tao Yumo looked at her with a bit of embarrassment. After all, her previous attitude towards Lin Chaoyang was not very good. She looked at her sister Tao Yushu and hesitated before saying: "Brother-in-law, are you familiar with the people from the May Fourth Literary Society?" ?”

"It's not bad. I know a few students who often go to the library."

"The May Fourth Literary Society has a poetry symposium the day after tomorrow. It was held at the invitation of "Poetry Magazine". Can you tell them about it for me and let me participate?"

When Zhang Yaozhong and Liang Zuo came to see him a few days ago, he had actually heard them mention the poetry symposium, but since it was a symposium, how could a high school student participate?

Besides, this little girl has been rude since he came here. If she asks him for help now, does he have to agree?

Lin Chaoyang had a smile on his face, full of sincerity, "Oh, I can't help you with this."

"Brother-in-law~"

When Tao Yumo saw Lin Chaoyang rejecting him without mercy, she knew that he must have hated her previous attitude.

"uh-huh!"

Tao Yumo's tender show of weakness prompted her sister Tao Yushu to warn her, "Yu Mo, please go out first."

Tao Yumo glanced at Lin Chaoyang unwillingly and walked out of the room.

"Can you help with that poetry symposium?" Tao Yushu asked.

"It's hard to say. I don't know the specifics. I only know that it was organized by Poetry Magazine and the May 4th Literary Society, and many student unions attended." Lin Chaoyang said truthfully.

Tao Yushu thought for a moment and said, "This girl is soft-spoken. If you help her this time, her attitude towards you will definitely be much better in the future."

"It doesn't matter if you have an attitude or not. If you say yes, then I will ask him."

Lin Chaoyang's statement made Tao Yushu very satisfied, but she still said: "We can't agree to her so easily..."

She rolled her big eyes and said, "I'll go out and give her a few words first, so that she won't have to worry about anything in the future."

No matter in the workplace or in life, it is very common for others to ask you for help, but be careful not to agree too readily, otherwise people will thank you on their lips but take you for granted in their hearts.

Those who can help should make it difficult to help, and those who cannot help should show that they do their best to help. Of course, the premise is that you are willing to help this person.

Lin Chaoyang gave Tao Yushu a thumbs up, "Tall, really tall!"

Tao Yushu's face had a slightly smug look on it, but it quickly faded away as he went out, his expression serious.

"Now that I'm asking someone for help, I think it's your brother-in-law? Why wasn't this your attitude before?"

"Where do you think this symposium is going to be held? He can ask you to attend just by opening his mouth?"

"Be nicer in the future, you hear me?"

"You can go to the symposium as a high school student? Let your brother-in-law help you first. Don't expect anything."

…

After a while of talking, Tao Yushu returned to the room and made a gesture to Lin Chaoyang with a relaxed and happy expression.

Little girl movie, easy to handle!
