Literary Master 1978

The military compound at the foot of Shijingshan represents the strongest garrison force in Yanjing. Father Du's residence here is a two-story building, which is of high level.

He did not explain the specific reason for the call on the phone, but just asked Lin Chaoyang to come to the military district when he was free.

Lin Chaoyang rushed to the door on Sunday and brought Tao Yushu to the door.

It was aunt Qi Hongying who opened the door for the two. She smiled as soon as she saw the two.

"Yushu, Chaoyang, you are here, come in!"

"Look at you, what else do you buy for a family?"

Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "Aunt, we are young people, how can we come empty-handed when we come to visit."

"Really!" Qi Hongying took the things, let the two into the house, and poured tea for them, "Your uncle said yesterday that you two would come. But he has something to do now, and he is still outside. You two wait a while."

"It's okay, we will wait a while." Tao Yushu said.

The main owner is not here for the time being, and Qi Hongying chats with Lin Chaoyang and the others.

"Oh, I didn't expect that! I heard from Du Feng a few days ago that Chaoyang is now a writer."

"Aunt, he just got lucky and published a novel."

Qi Hongying laughed and said, "Eh, how can there be luck? Du Feng is such a person, even if you let him get lucky, he won't be able to publish."

It is a common practice for Chinese parents to praise other people's children by denigrating their own children.

Lin Chaoyang followed her words and asked, "By the way, why haven't you seen Du Feng recently?"

As soon as she asked this, Lin Chaoyang noticed that Qi Hongying's face was a little wrong. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Alas! It's because of that girlfriend."

Girlfriend?

"You also know that your uncle sent Du Feng to the front some time ago, and the girl went there too.

I don't know the specific details of this. A few days ago, someone in the hospital told me that the girl fell in love with a combat hero in the south at first sight."

"Ah! This..."

Don't want a second-generation military man, but find a combat hero?

If this happened thirty years later, I wonder how many compatriots who claim to be sober in the world would beat their chests and stamp their feet.

Was this woman kicked in the head by a donkey?

But in this fiery era, this matter seems to be very normal.

At least from Lin Chaoyang's point of view, he admires this "former brother-in-law" whom he has never met.

Of course, the one who feels the most uncomfortable in the whole incident is his brother-in-law Du Feng.

It's not easy for anyone to have his girlfriend stolen. If this is according to the plot of the TV series, Du Feng, a second-generation military man, must play a villain and cause trouble for the other party.

But Lin Chaoyang guessed that with his uncle's temper, if Du Feng dared to cause trouble for the lovers, he would break Du Feng's legs.

Lin Chaoyang felt aggrieved for his brother-in-law when he thought about it.

It's better not to be a second-generation military man!

After chatting with Qi Hongying for less than half an hour, uncle Du Ruolin came back. He greeted Lin Chaoyang and the others first, then took off his military uniform, revealing the white shirt underneath, and said to Lin Chaoyang, "Let's go to the study to talk!"

"I heard that Du Feng is working on a novel with you recently?"

"Yes. Du Feng has grown a lot since he came back from the south. He happened to know about my current creative work, so he suggested that I write about the stories of the soldiers and found a lot of information for me."

Hearing this, Du Ruolin's face showed some relief.

"What information is there?"

Although he was relieved, Du Ruolin was still worried, fearing that Du Feng didn't know the depth and showed Lin Chaoyang files that he shouldn't have seen.

"All of them are those that he can access and have been made public, and some are his correspondence with his comrades. He asked everyone to help provide some information and details at the time."

Hearing what Lin Chaoyang said, Du Ruolin felt relieved.

"Chaoyang, Du Feng has caused you trouble."

"Not really trouble, he has also brought me some creative nourishment."

Du Ruolin asked: "Have you started writing?"

"Not yet. But I have a general outline, I think I can start writing in the next few days."

"Show it to me after you finish it."

This kind of work involving the ongoing war must be reviewed.

Lin Chaoyang also understood Du Ruolin's meaning and nodded, "Okay."

Seeing Lin Chaoyang's serious face, Du Ruolin smiled rarely and said: "Don't feel pressured. As long as it is not deliberately smearing and tampering, the army will not have any objections. If you write well, I will transfer you to the army."

"Transfer to the army?" Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised.

"Why not? I heard from your mother that you are not yet on the list at Yan University. Our army does not have so many restrictions. As long as you have the strength, you will be promoted immediately!"

Du Ruolin's tone was firm, which was the confidence brought by holding power.

In the years after the end of Buzz Buzz, the propaganda team of the army expanded rapidly. The past two years should be the climax, but it will not be possible in two or three years. By then, a large number of art troupes and propaganda teams will be included in the list of layoffs.

Compared with the personnel of art troupes and propaganda teams, military writers still have a much higher status and it is easy to be promoted. As long as they produce works, it will be fine. However, Lin Chaoyang is not interested in this.

The work in the library is just to reassure his wife and family. Joining the army may be something that others want, but it is useless to him.

"Uncle, I am used to the work in the library, and now I can go to those famous teachers' classes every day. It is happier than being admitted to university."

YNU students are also influenced by courses and activities, but Lin Chaoyang is different. As long as he greets his colleagues, he can go to class at any time.

"Hahaha! Great, if our Du Feng is half as studious as you, he won't be so useless."

Du Ruolin didn't care about being rejected at all, but admired Lin Chaoyang's attitude.

"Du Feng has a pure heart, but he hasn't settled down yet."

"You two are only two years older than him, but you sound ten years older than him."

Lin Chaoyang laughed and said, "Marriage makes men mature."

Du Ruolin laughed again. He and Lin Chaoyang only had a general impression of each other when they met during the Chinese New Year. After meeting and chatting in detail today, he found that his nephew-in-law was a wonderful person.

After the conversation, Du Ruolin and Lin Chaoyang came out together. Aunt Qi Hongying was preparing lunch and Tao Yushu was helping.

Of the four children in the Du family, three are married and live outside. Du Feng usually lives in the dormitory of the art troupe.

Because he had just returned from the south, the army granted him a period of leave and he had been living at home.

However, he had not left the house in the past few days. His girlfriend ran away and he was depressed.

After having lunch at Du's house at noon, Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu returned to Yanda, and Du Feng followed him.

After not seeing each other for several days, Du Feng looked haggard and untidy, with a bit of "wasting for her".

"You didn't show up at your house just now, why are you here now?" Tao Yushu asked disapprovingly.

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

Du Feng pulled Lin Chaoyang aside, lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Brother-in-law, don't write that novel... "

Lin Chaoyang observed Du Feng's expression and could probably guess Du Feng's psychology. He was planning to write a novel to praise the combat hero, and his girlfriend ran away with the combat hero. Who would feel uncomfortable?

But who can be blamed for this?

He did not answer Du Feng directly, but turned around and took out a cigarette from the closet.

Du Feng felt familiar with the cigarette. Lin Chaoyang said, "You gave it to me before you left last time. I didn't dare to open it, thinking that if you died, this would be the last gift from my brother-in-law. It's very memorable."

Du Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought of his experience in the south. He felt a little upset, "Brother-in-law..."

Lin Chaoyang unpacked the cigarette, opened a box of cigarettes, took out two cigarettes, and gave one to Du Feng.

He lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled. Smoke instantly rose in the room.

"How is it?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

"Comfortable!" Du Feng said with his eyes narrowed while holding the cigarette.

"How many people can't smoke this cigarette!"

Hearing this, Du Feng's cigarette hung at the corner of his mouth, his expression was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The smoke was lingering until his fingers felt hot, and he came back to his senses.

"Brother-in-law..." Du Feng wanted to say something.

"I've been to the battlefield, so I should be more open-minded. Although I may not be a combat hero in this life, I'm still a man who stands tall and proud!"

Lin Chaoyang held a cigarette in one hand and held his waist with the other hand. He was full of heroic spirit, which made Du Feng feel like a mountain of admiration.

He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed for his narrow-mindedness and his greed.

"Brother-in-law, you're right, I'll listen to you!" Du Feng said with a firm look in his eyes.

Lin Chaoyang nodded with satisfaction.

I haven't spread chicken soup for a long time. Today I'll try my skills. My skills are still strong.
