That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Latent? The novel written by Li Ye is actually Latent?

.

After learning that the novel written by Li Ye was called Latent, Lu Jingyao didn't speak again the whole night, which made her younger brother Lu Zixue very angry, saying that her wings have become stiff, her temper has become fierce, and she doesn't recognize people anymore.

But after the authority fee incident, Lu Jingyao was no longer the same as before. She was no longer willing to aggrieve herself in order to cater to others, and she simply pretended not to notice her younger brother's rolling eyes.

After tossing and turning all night with almost no sleep, Lu Jingyao got up before dawn, quietly went out, and walked all the way to the county town.

It took three hours to walk thirty miles. At eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Jingyao arrived at Xinhua Bookstore in Qingshui County.

She took off her scarf, rubbed her face that was numb from the cold, and asked the salesperson: Hello, is there Latent here?

The salesperson sat at the counter with a dull face and said impatiently: No, no, are you tired of asking all day long?

Lu Jingyao stayed up all night and walked for another three hours. When she encountered this kind of service attitude, she suddenly became angry.

It’s true that salespeople these days are very cool, but college students aren’t?

Who has been asking all day long? What kind of service attitude do you have? Is the statement on your wall about serving the people fake? Who are you showing your face to?

Hey, how can you talk like this? Who are you scolding to shame yourself?

Shaking face is a northern dialect. The saleswoman, who was born and raised here, couldn't understand it. She thought it was a curse word and immediately stood up and began to scold Lu Jingyao.

This scolding provoked the management of the bookstore. It was already the end of the twelfth lunar month, and there were already people on the street rushing to buy new year's goods. If we didn't deal with it quickly, it would attract onlookers in a while, which would be embarrassing. !

Alas, don't scold, don't scold! Xiao Hu, please pay attention to your attitude. This girl, please calm down. What's going on?

Just as the salesperson was about to speak, Lu Jingyao rushed over and said, You judge this leader. I came here early in the morning to buy books. I asked her angrily if she had Latent, and she came up and started talking to me.

The salesperson hurriedly defended: That's not the case with Uncle Wu. She cursed.

Okay, okay, I'll take care of this matter. Xiao Hu, go to the back and help organize everyone's New Year's goods.

Old Uncle Wu rushed the pouting salesman to the back, and then explained to Lu Jingyao: Children are not sensible. Many people have come to ask about the book Latent these days, but we don't have it here, so just emphasize it. It’s a bit high, don’t mind.”

Naturally, Lu Jingyao couldn't hold back her anger because of the good words. She softened her tone and asked, Are there many people buying Latent these days?

There are quite a few, Old Uncle Wu said: Most of them are students and teachers from No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School, as well as people from the food system, but we really don't have any here, not even the Xinhua Bookstore in the city.

Not even in the city? Why?

Lu Jingyao was surprised. Although she deduced from Liu Muhan's indulging in reading that the book Latent should be somewhat interesting, it was strange that it was not available in Xinhua Bookstore in the city.

Old Uncle Wu explained: Because this book was just published at the end of the year, and the first edition printed 100,000 copies.

But the market response was so abnormal that it was almost sold out in provincial capital cities. Not many copies could be distributed to city-level bookstores. They simply couldn’t reach our small county town. How about you go to the provincial capital and take a look?

Is it so easy to sell?

Lu Jingyao muttered to himself and left the county Xinhua Bookstore.

Outside the County Xinhua Bookstore is a long street, leading to the County No. 2 Middle School in the east and the bus station in the west.

Lu Jingyao thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and walked to the bus stop.

She is going to the provincial capital to see what kind of magic Latent has and how it can seduce so many people who play with things.

The ticket from Qingshui County to the provincial capital costs 45 cents, and you can buy a pound of fat meat back and forth. Normally, Lu Jingyao would be reluctant to part with it, but today she really couldn't bear it.

I couldn't bear the burning fire in my heart.

[How can Li Ye publish a novel? How can I earn several thousand yuan in royalties? 】

[His novels. Can’t buy them yet? How can it be? 】

Lu Jingyao is also a person who has submitted manuscripts, so he naturally knows the concept of printing one hundred thousand copies at a time.

【famous writer? 】

【Just him? 】

. . . .

In winter in the north, the sun sets very early.

The last bus from the provincial capital to Qingshui County drove into the bus station under the setting sun.

Passengers on the bus scrambled to get out of the car and dispersed in a hurry.

The transportation conditions in the county are limited. Nine out of ten towns are closed to traffic. Everyone has to rush home under the sunset.

After a bumpy day, the flight attendant took out a broom to clean the garbage in the carriage, only to find a girl who hadn't gotten off the car yet, holding a book and reading there in trance!

Hey, the bus has arrived. Do you plan to stay here today?

ah?

Lu Jingyao, who was awakened, looked up and found that he had arrived at Qingshui County, and hurriedly ran down.

But just as she got out of the car door, her feet softened and she fell over.

Ahem, are you okay?

The sharp-tongued flight attendant quickly got out of the car and helped Lu Jingyao up.

It's okay, it's okay, my legs are numb.

Lu Jingyao smiled awkwardly, staggered out of the station and went straight to a noodle shop not far away.

She went out before dawn this morning and went straight to the provincial capital without eating breakfast.

After arriving in the provincial capital, I even ran into several bookstores and found nothing in stock. Only one said that the last batch of Latent this year would arrive at noon.

Lu Jingyao was determined to buy Latent today and waited until one o'clock in the afternoon.

The result was really funny. There was even a queue to buy books.

Just line up if you want! I even went through the back door and spent more than an hour to buy it.

Then Lu Jingyao hurriedly drove back, and only had time to read Latent in the car.

Then, as soon as I looked up, I arrived at the station.

Only then did she feel strong hunger,

Fortunately, during the holiday, the school gave everyone a few kilograms of national food stamps so that everyone could go home for the New Year. Otherwise, Lu Jingyao would have trouble eating a bowl of noodles.

After a bowl of warm chopped green onion noodles, Lu Jingyao slowly regained his composure.

She touched Latent in her hand and slowly shook her head after a long time.

[This is not his level, there is something weird! 】

Lu Jingyao knew very well about Li Ye's literary background. At that time, they were discussing poetry and prose with Xia Yue and others, and Li Ye was just the one who made up the numbers.

Now looking at the various literary modifications and plot descriptions in Latent, even Lu Jingyao would not believe that it was written by Li Ye.

[It’s just that they’ve only been separated for more than half a year. Could it be that he is a different person? 】

Thinking of this, Lu Jingyao felt like three kittens had crawled into her heart, their twelve claws scratching her heart and lungs, making her restless.

She really wanted to go directly to Li Ye and ask what was going on?

But thinking about what Li Ye said in his last letter, Don't meet again in the future, she couldn't afford to be so shameless.

Suddenly, Lu Jingyao thought of Wen Leyu.

She promised Teacher Ke that she would take care of Wen Leyu, and Wen Leyu had been attending classes at the County No. 2 Middle School and must have some inside information.

Lu Jingyao suddenly gained strength and walked quickly towards the County No. 2 Middle School.

When she entered the County No. 2 Middle School, she found that there were still students in the classroom.

She walked over and bumped into Xia Yue, who was looking up.

Lu Jingyao? Is that you?

Xia Yue shouted in surprise, and then ran out excitedly.

Huh? Xia Yue, haven't you guys taken a vacation yet?

Lu Jingyao took Xia Yue's hand, feeling surprised and happy.

The two were best friends before, and they were extremely happy to see each other again after half a year.

It's not time to meet and hug each other right now. Holding hands and stamping your feet is the correct gesture to express happiness.

Xia Yue and Lu Jingyao were not the only ones who were happy. In just a few minutes, all the students from the repeat class who stayed in the school gathered around.

College students, living college students.

Lu Jingyao made a counterattack and was admitted to Beijing Foreign Languages ​​College. He is the pride of the entire county's No. 2 Middle School. He is a legend among these repeat students and a pillar of belief for them to persist in repeating their studies.

Seventy or eighty repeat students crowded in the corridor, looking at Lu Jingyao like a celebrity. This feeling made Lu Jingyao's guilt instantly disappear.

She, Lu Jingyao, is outstanding. She is a role model for the County No. 2 Middle School and a role model for all high school students in Qingshui County. She has enough qualifications to be proud of.

When Tang Feiyu, the dean of students, also came after hearing the news, held Lu Jingyao's hand and exchanged warm greetings, Lu Jingyao's pride reached its peak.

Welcome to return to your alma mater to coach! You are a role model for our county's No. 2 Middle School. We are preparing a lecture tomorrow. You can tell everyone about your experience and strengthen your confidence.

Lu Jingyao agreed generously, and his demeanor in dealing with others was completely different from the high school student half a year ago.

She is already a real adult.

After the teacher left, Lu Jingyao had the opportunity to ask Xia Yue, Why didn't you see Wen Leyu? Isn't she in the same class as you?

Xia Yue's smile faltered and she said, She stays with Li Ye all day now and doesn't even talk to us.

With Li Ye? Lu Jingyao asked in surprise: Why is she with Li Ye?

Xia Yue said: I don't know very well, but when Li Ye wrote the novel, Wen Leyu gave him a lot of help.

Wen Leyu was only responsible for proofreading and copying manuscripts at that time, but now that Xia Yue and others think about it, things have changed.

Lu Jingyao instantly thought of Teacher Wen Leyu and Ke.

The doubts in my heart suddenly became clear.

Seeing Lu Jingyao's changing expression, Xia Yue gritted her teeth and whispered, Jingyao, you don't know that Li Ye has a study room outside the school.

The stove was burning 24 hours a day, and the cabbage stew every meal attracted many female classmates. Hu Man, Han Xia, and Jiang Xiaoyan were all abducted by her.

Lu Jingyao was horrified, and a sense of great righteousness arose spontaneously.

Where is Wen Leyu? Xia Yue, go and call her back!
