That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Li Ye went to see Teacher Ke that night and learned that she had indeed asked for leave from the school because she was going to the capital.

And Teacher Ke told Li Ye that he wanted to take away the already written parts of The Deserter.

Teacher Ke didn't say specifically what she was going to do, but Li Ye could roughly guess that Teacher Ke was going to take advantage of the Chinese New Year period to take the manuscript and go to the capital for a while.

But Li Ye thinks it's not the right time yet.

Teacher Ke, I have only written less than 400,000 words now. Shi Chengcai just appeared on the scene not long ago, and he is far from the exciting stage.

The length of online novels is obviously longer than traditional novels. For example, The Legend of the Condor Heroes is 1.2 million words, and The Deer and the Cauldron is only 1.5 million words.

But Xiaozhi Xianxian's The Deserter of the Beacon Fire, even if it is a eunuch, has more than 1.9 million words. (Lao Feng here pays tribute to Xiao Zhi Xianxian, and I don’t know if the big brother is okay now.)

Even if Li Ye deleted part of the word count of hydrology, because Xiao Zhi Xianxian's writing style is inherently good, no matter how compressed it is, it will not be less than 1.5 million words, so 400,000 words is really not enough to read.

Teacher Ke smiled helplessly and said: I also know that it is not yet exciting, but the manuscript of 400,000 words is really not too small, and it is barely enough to take it out.

Li Ye glanced at Teacher Ke's eyes, saw her eagerness and anxiety, and immediately understood that she really couldn't wait.

Li Ye had no choice but to say: Well, I'll rush to finish the manuscript in the next few days and write tens of thousands more words, hoping to write more of Shi Cheng's scenes.

But Teacher Ke said: Actually, it's not necessary. If anyone is interested in this novel, we can send him the subsequent parts in batches in the future.

Memory them in batches?

Yes, Teacher Ke said, I heard that there is a serial writing method in Hong Kong. Thousands of words a day, continuous serialization, the effect seems to be pretty good.

[Of course it’s good. Aren’t there so many online articles in later generations that were all done in this way? What kind of hooks, broken chapters, and even the plot can be changed temporarily according to the boss’s request]

[Teacher Ke, you are really good. Smart people are smart people. You have to be admired. 】

Li Ye really admired Teacher Ke. He was able to realize the characteristics and advantages of serialization in Qingshui County, which was closed in the 1980s, and his vision was definitely far beyond that of ordinary people.

Okay then! When will you leave? I will sort out the manuscript as soon as possible.

I have sorted out the manuscript and will leave tomorrow. However, I have a grudging request and need your help.

An unkind request?

Li Ye was a little surprised, because Teacher Ke basically doesn't ask for help. Normally in school, teachers would offer some help, but she would deal with it calmly and inadvertently put people off.

Li Ye was the only exception, but it was limited to cooperation on novels. She never wanted to trouble Li Ye in daily life, even if Wen Leyu ate with him or borrowed the name of the proofreader's remuneration!

You want to call her noble! No, Li Ye felt that Teacher Ke was deliberately maintaining his sobriety away from the crowd.

But today Teacher Ke actually had an unkind invitation, which must be extraordinary.

Li Ye said sternly: Tell me what you need, Teacher Ke. I will help you if I can. If you can't help me, I'll find someone to find a solution.

Teacher Ke smiled and said: That's it. It's not convenient for me to take Xiaoyu with me when I go to the capital this time. She has always been by my side these years and is timid. During my absence, Xiaoyu Can you take care of her?

【This can definitely be done! As long as she is willing, I can take care of her completely. Am I that kind of person? 】

Li Ye immediately agreed: Okay, Teacher Ke, I can definitely do this. I will just take her to my house to celebrate the New Year. But is Wen Leyu willing to stay in Qingshui by herself?

Teacher Ke nodded and said, I talked to her yesterday and she was willing.

The last worry in Li Ye's mind was gone. Wen Leyu deliberately failed to pass the college entrance examination in order to be with his mother. Unexpectedly, he was willing to temporarily separate from Teacher Ke this time.

He looked at Wen Leyu not far away and found that Xiao Nizi was still a little embarrassed.

. . . . .

Li Ye asked Teacher Ke what time the train would be tomorrow, and then called Li Dayong who had just gotten into bed, and followed Jin Peng and Hao Jian to the provincial capital that night.

In the middle of winter, setting off at two o'clock in the morning, it's really not a good feeling to ride a bicycle.

Li Ye only rode half of the forty kilometers, and then he lay down on the bicycle and pretended to be a dead dog, letting Jin Peng and Hao Jian in front drag him for paddling.

After arriving in the provincial capital, it was still dark, but the sesame candy vendor who came to pick up the goods was already waiting at the street corner next to the morning market.

Packets of sesame candy were weighed and money was collected, and the whole process could hardly be said. This strange feeling of silence gave Li Ye the illusion of being in a later police movie.

They are very vigilant now. It's easy to make money, so they don't want to let others notice. They keep a low profile and make a fortune.

Li Ye nodded and looked at the crowded morning market not far away.

There are people from the countryside selling cabbage and radishes, people from the city selling old clothes and furniture, and even old bicycles.

Li Ye was a little moved. The eldest sister at home didn't have a bicycle yet!

Jin Peng said quickly: You can't buy those cars casually, they might be unclean goods.

Li Ye had no choice but to give up. It was not uncommon for a bicycle to lead to a series of major cases these days. It would not be economical to be wrongly accused accidentally.

Hao Jian's sesame candy is not distributed in one place, but in three places. By the time all the sesame candy lined up in one place is sold out, it is already broad daylight.

The four people who were tired after midnight first had a hot breakfast to dispel the coldness in their bodies.

Li Ye took five hundred yuan from Hao Jian and asked him to go back first.

Hao Jian was thinking about where to hide the money on the way back alone! Since Li Ye and the others are holding it, of course he is happy.

After they parted ways, Li Ye, Jin Peng and Li Dayong went straight to an alley west of the railway station in the provincial capital.

Arriving at the entrance of an alley extending in all directions, Li Ye saw more than a dozen people, squatting or standing, divided into several groups, each with their necks curled up and smoking.

This is a small black market selling tickets in the provincial capital.

Li Ye came to exchange food stamps for Teacher Ke.

In 1981, when going to a restaurant to eat, money alone was not enough. Most of them required food stamps. Without food stamps, you could find various ways to eat locally, but it was difficult to go without food stamps when you were on a business trip.

For example, when Teacher Ke goes to the capital this time, he has to exchange for national food stamps.

Teacher Ke was paid as a temporary worker at County No. 2 Middle School, and the food stamp ration was not much, so he couldn't even save a few bucks.

It's hard to go out, and it's even harder for a woman to go out. It's about Wen Leyu, how can Li Ye ignore it?

Logically speaking, it would be easier to go to Li Zhongfa to get national food stamps, but Li Yeyi didn't want his family to ask questions, and he also needed something else.

Seeing Li Ye and the other three coming, these people were very vigilant and tightly held the leather bags in their hands.

Li Ye found that the location they were in was perfect for rubbing oil on their soles and running away.

Jin Peng took a quick look and led Li Ye towards one of the separated men.

Brother, are there any national food stamps?

Pfft~, look what you said, you don't even have national food stamps, what am I doing here?

The separated man blew out a puff of cigarette and looked at Jin Peng angrily, and then at Li Ye and Li Dayong, his eyes obviously showing contempt.

Judging from the accent, they are country people from the north, either from Qingshui or Beiyang, and two of them are brats, and they don't seem to have much luck at first glance.

Li Ye didn't care about this guy's eyes and asked directly: Then what other tickets do you have? Do you have cigarette tickets or alcohol tickets? Can you get sleeper tickets? How do you exchange them?

The man's eyes lit up and he said, What cigarettes do you want to buy? What kind of wine do you want to buy?

Li Ye said: Zhonghua cigarettes and Maotai liquor.

The man who split up rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, Where do I want to amuse myself so early in the morning? What kind of tickets can buy Chinese cigarettes?

Li Ye stopped talking. He only knew that the first category of cigarettes required tickets at the moment, but he had never bought Chinese cigarettes since his rebirth, so he didn't know the inside price.

Jin Peng waved his hand and said, Let's buy food stamps first! The nationwide ones cost fifty kilograms.

The split man shook his neck and said: One dollar is twenty one catty, fifty catties is exactly sixty.

.

Jin Peng and Li Ye were both stunned.

The price is not bad, it is really bad.

They had inquired in advance that the going price of national food stamps in provincial capitals was around 50 cents, 40 cents was normal, and 60 cents was not expensive, but the price quoted by the man separately had doubled.

Jin Peng turned around and left, was he tricking a fool?

But the man who was separated shouted at the other people at the entrance of the alley: Other people's prices are more expensive, but mine is the cheapest.

Sure enough, Jin Peng and Li Ye asked a few more people, and the price quoted was even more outrageous.

Li Ye smiled and walked back to the separated man.

Okay, it's the cheapest here. Let's buy fifty catties of food stamps each, and some alcohol and cigarette stamps.

The separated man looked at Li Ye sideways and asked, Do you have that much money?

Li Ye reached into his pocket, took out half of the money and showed it. It was thick enough to cost several hundred yuan.

The separated man was stunned for a moment, spit out his cigarette, shook his chin, and motioned for Li Ye to follow him.

Li Ye followed the separated man into an alley next to him, and then discovered that a young man squatting beside him also walked in.

The young man had a bald head, sharp eyes, and an unusual sense of bravery.

The separated man said proudly: Don't worry, this is my brother. He just came down from the battlefield in the south. If you don't mess with him, he will never mess with you.

No wonder the man who broke up with her dared to bully and dominate the market, and he also knew how to blackmail people, so he had something to rely on for his love.

But no matter how much he relied on, Li Ye would not suffer such a loss!

Li Ye moved his ankle and kicked the wall on the side of the alley.

Tum~

There was a muffled sound, and the green brick walls shook slightly.

Jin Peng and Li Dayong's reaction was not much slower. They kicked the wall one after another. With two boom sounds, it felt like the wall was about to be kicked down by them.

The bald young man immediately dodged and stood in front of the man with the split hair, staring fiercely at Li Ye and the others.

Li Ye twisted his wrist and said calmly: What price did you just say?

It is impossible to fight, if you can use force to deter, why fight?

The three people understood each other and slowly pressed towards the bald man.

The bald man's eyes were sharp and he remained motionless, but he said to the man with separate hair behind him: Let's go~

Two simple words showed his nervousness.

An expert would know that even if he came from the battlefield, he would not be sure that he could handle Li Ye and others one on three.

However, the split-headed man did not leave the bald man behind and run away. Instead, he stretched out his hands to fend him off, cupping his hands in a fist-clasping motion.

A few brothers, when they go out to seek wealth, they are talking about harmony. They ask for money and pay back the money on the spot. There is no need to use a knife or a gun. We meet each other in the mountains and rivers. Being gangsters and gangsters are not friends.

The men who were separated were beeping and beeping, which made Li Ye unable to move up or down. It was so embarrassing.

Okay! This one is still a fan of the world.

Thanks to book friend 150506005913374 for the reward, thank you brother.
