Chapter 115 114 Celebration
This time, Fang Minghua saw the selection results in the "People's Daily".
Except for his two articles, Lu Yao's "Life" ranks first on the list of outstanding novellas.
There is also Wang Meng's "It's Difficult to Meet"!
"The Passage" by Wang Anyi!
Oops, "Wreaths Under the Mountain" by Li Suan also won an award!
Haha, you can meet this bold man from Shandong Province in Yanjing.
In the list of outstanding short stories, Yu Shan's "Female College Student Dormitory" won the award!
Tie Nian's "Oh, Fragrant Snow" also won the award.
What surprised Fang Minghua was that he was not the only one to win awards for his short stories, but there was another writer.
The same is true for Jiang Zhilong in Tianjin.
The novella "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple" seems to be adapted into a movie later.
The short story is "New Year's Greetings"!
This is a great guy.
"Xiao Fang, treat! Treat!" A man came in and shouted loudly.
You don't even have to look up to know it's Bai Miao.
Please
I can’t escape this time.
Of course Fang Minghua was not the only one to invite, there was also Lu Yao. Fang Minghua drank two more times, but this time he did not dare to be as presumptuous as last time, so he took it easy.
In addition to inviting the editorial department and a group of writers, Fang Minghua also specially invited Zhao Hongjun. This time, Song Tangtang accompanied him. Drink in the dormitory.
But the wine was good wine, Song Tangtang secretly took it from her house!
Maotai.
It just feels good to drink.
"Tangtang, pour it for you too." Zhao Hongjun picked up the bottle and was about to pour it for Song Tangtang, but was stopped by the other party.
“Brother Red Army, I don’t drink.”
"Hey Tangtang, now that you are in love with Minghua, you don't even drink anymore? When your brother and I were drinking, you drank with us in an enamel jar!"
Listen Zhao Hongjun's teasing made Song Tangtang blush slightly and glared at him fiercely.
Edit God!
Fang Minghua was surprised.
Now that Zhao Hongjun has exposed his background, Song Tangtang said openly: "My brother and I are both good drinkers. We probably inherited it from my dad, but I rarely drink now. Today is worth it." It’s a day of celebration, so I’ll have a drink.”
After saying that, Song Tangtang picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine: "Minghua, congratulations to you!" After that, he drank it all.
Clean and crisp.
The three of them were chatting while eating. Despite Zhao Hongjun’s babbling, he was actually a poor drinker. His face turned red after just a few drinks. Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang actually drank this bottle of wine.
Seeing the girl drinking like a girl, Fang Minghua felt ready to make a move.
Fortunately, a bottle of wine has bottomed out. If you drink any more, you will make a mistake.
Make it through this year, 1983.
Zhao Hongjun left first, and Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang went out to hold hands and press the road for a while.
"Minghua, are you going to Yanjing to receive the award soon?" Song Tangtang asked.
"Well, we have been notified by the jury that the award ceremony will be held next Wednesday. Tangtang, why don't you ask for leave and go to Yanjing together? You can visit your grandma and grandpa, and by the way, we can go rowing in Beihai Park! "Fang Minghua said.
“No.” Song Tangtang shook his head: “We were rehearsing a song and dance group recently, and I couldn’t leave as the lead dancer.”
Oh.
Seeing Fang Minghua's expression of regret, Song Tangtang held his arm very affectionately: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a chance to go to Yanjing together. Then I will take you to see my grandma and grandpa, how dare you Don’t you dare?”
“Dare you dare?”
“Okay, let’s go to Yanjing together and take you to see me. "Grandma and grandpa!"
My parents also knew the news. My father was very calm, but my mother was very happy. She even showed off the People's Daily in the family courtyard, regardless of whether people knew how to read or not.
"Look, my son's name has been published in the People's Daily!" There are no words to express his pride.
After Fang Minghua finished his correspondence course on Sunday, he boarded the train to Yanjing on Monday morning. However, he did not go directly to the train station. He left early and went to the work unit to find President Huang.
Be straightforward and ask for funds from Yanjing. President Huang was a little surprised when he heard this: "Isn't it right? Xiaofang, the jury will cover your round trip expenses to Yanjing this time, so you don't have to spend a penny."
< br>"President Huang, you have forgotten that I am not only a writer now, but also the editor of the magazine! I will definitely meet many writers this time. This is an opportunity! When I see the right ones, I will win over them and try to get them to submit to our magazine. Contribute to the Society! ”
"But you can't build a relationship just by talking. You have to treat people, and they cost money, right? The jury will definitely not reimburse this fee, right?"
Fang Minghua said plausibly.
President Huang was stunned when he heard this.
This is the first time I have blatantly asked for money from an organization for a private treat!
But it seems to make sense.
"Okay! I'll approve it! Just ask! Just bring back the invoice!" President Huang also waved his hand.
“You can’t trap a wolf if you don’t want to give up your child! You can’t trap a gangster if you don’t want your wife!”
Fang Minghua left the unit very happily.
This time he was not alone. Lu Yao was also traveling with him.
Both of them went to Yanjing to receive the award, so naturally they went together.
At noon the next day, we arrived in Yanjing.
Fang Minghua has been to Yanjing several times and is quite familiar with it. No need to look at the map anymore, he first found a state-owned restaurant near the train station and each had a bowl of fried noodles, and then took the bus directly to the hotel in Dongcheng. The "Red Flag" magazine guest house on Beach North Street is just behind the magazine.
Although the award ceremony is held in the Great Hall of the People, these writers from all over the country must first gather at the Writers' Association. The "Red Flag" magazine guest house is closest to the Writers' Association, making it Fang Minghua's first choice.
Actually, this is not what Fang Minghua thinks. Many writers who come to Beijing to receive awards think so. The guest house is not very big and fills up quickly. Those who arrive late have to find other guest houses.
Fang Minghua soon met an acquaintance.
When checking in, a man in military uniform hurried into the guest house lobby carrying an old travel bag.
Fang Minghua recognized it.
Lee saved.
"Brother Li." Fang Minghua greeted with a smile.
"Xiao Fang! I guess I will definitely see you when I come to Beijing this time. I didn't expect to see you so soon." Li Baoan laughed and the two shook hands.
"Who is this?" Li Banwen saw the fat middle-aged man standing next to Fang Minghua, who was just about to introduce him.
Li Suanwan reacted immediately: "It's Lu Yao! Writer Lu, your article "Life" was so well written that it moved me, a forty-year-old man, to tears."< br>
"I heard Xiao Fang say, are you Li Baoan? "Wreaths under the Mountain" is also quite touching."
The two shook hands with each other, and there are three people in one room in the guest house. , just live in one room.
After the three people registered for accommodation, they went to the reporting room on the second floor to report, and then went to a room on the east side of the third floor.
After putting the luggage away, I heard Li Suan say: "The Writers Association doesn't have any plans this afternoon. So, I'll treat you two to a drink tonight! Let's drink Yanjing's Erguotou. Last time we were in Spring City, Xiaofang, I haven't had a date with you yet. I enjoyed it."
"Okay, Brother Li, I'll take it this time," Fang Minghua said.
"Why do I invite you? Let me say it first, I invite!"
Seeing the two people arguing over the treat, Lu Yao next to him smiled: "Save, don't argue with me this time Xiao Fang argued. This time he came to Yanjing, but he got the treat fee."
"The treat fee?"
Lu Yao said briefly, and Li Baoyuan laughed.
"Okay, then you invite me!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door, followed by a girl's voice: "Excuse me, Teacher Fang Minghua and Teacher Lu Yao live here "
Thanks to Young Master Hongyi and others for their rewards, and thanks to Outdated Carpenter and others for their monthly tickets
