Chapter 134 The symposium turned into a banquet at Hongmen, and there was overwhelming condemnation
“Xuemin, you and Old Teacher Feng Gu must be mentally prepared for the symposium that will take place later!”
After greeting everyone, Zhang Guangnian, Cheng Xuemin and Weng Xin from People's Literature gave a reminder.
"What's the matter, Lao Zhang?"
Seeing Lao Zhang's serious face, Feng's mother couldn't help but asked suspiciously.
"You must have come directly from home. Didn't you read today's daily report from Jinmen Daily?"
Zhang Guangnian scanned the crowd over there and whispered to Cheng Xuemin and the others.
"Jinmen Daily? What did it publish today?"
This made Feng's mother, Cheng Xuemin, and the others even more puzzled. They came to hold a symposium today, why did it involve Jinmen City?
"Version 14!"
Zhang Guangnian also clicked his tongue and shook his head and said, "Today, the Jinmen Daily used a full 14 pages to publish this article criticizing and suppressing us!"
"I heard that the relevant leaders of Tianjin have come here in person to report to the superiors that our manuscript has a directional error!"
"ah?!"
The faces of Feng's mother and Feng's father changed drastically, and Feng's father couldn't help but trembled with his hand gestures!
What is supposed to come has come!
I think Feng’s father didn’t agree with it at first, but Cheng Xuemin and his lover Feng’s mother wrote this article!
You are so brave!
Although there was strong support from Mr. Wu above, and it received rave reviews after it was published, it seems that its negative impact has also been followed by people starting to stand up and speak out!
And it turned out to be Jinmen, not far from the outskirts of Beijing. Today's Jinmen Daily devoted fourteen pages to criticizing the article about encircling and suppressing their son-in-law.
So what has been approved?
What's more serious is that their relevant leaders went directly to Beijing!
This, this, this!
Then you really need to be mentally prepared for this symposium. Maybe the symposium will turn into a banquet for his son-in-law.
"But Teacher Gu, don't worry too much. Mr. Wu has invited Mr. Mao to take charge, so the problem won't be big!"
Zhang Guangnian comforted him again.
After waiting for almost 20 minutes, it was already half past nine. Mr. Wu was also done with his work and called everyone into the large conference room one by one.
The protagonist of this symposium is Cheng Xuemin, so his ranking is relatively high. He is no longer sitting in a corner like last time, sitting on the side.
In front of the conference room, there were the words "Symposium on Director Qiao's appointment" hung in large characters. The layout of the venue was quite simple.
Not long after, the entire conference room began to fill with smoke, and it was so filled with second-hand smoke that it was almost impossible to see.
This is the characteristic of meetings in this era, and it does not take into account the lesbians' constant coughing at all.
Cheng Xuemin, a non-smoker, could only endure it. It would be a few years before the venue was banned from smoking.
Wu Lao Mao Lao and others also entered the room and sat at the front one by one.
The symposium was hosted by Zhang Guangnian, editor-in-chief of "People's Literature", the publisher of "Director Qiao's Taking Up the Job". After a brief opening remarks, it officially started.
The first one to speak surprised and shocked everyone present: Mr. Mao!
This also surprised Cheng Xuemin!
Shouldn’t a giant like Mr. Mao be the one to give the final speech?
Why did he change his mind this time and let him speak first?
But soon!
Not only did Cheng Xuemin react, but other newspapers, magazines, and media also smelled something.
Mr. Mao spoke first to set a tone for everyone!
The tone of this symposium!
We cannot use this symposium as an opportunity to criticize the encirclement and suppression campaign just because of what the "Jinmen Daily" said in a long article today.
Therefore, in Mao Lao's speech, he praised Cheng Xuemin's manuscript in a high-profile manner!
Of course, there are some flaws, and a few words are really not very good.
But there are just a few words that are not very good, and they can definitely be changed!
But despite the tone set by Mr. Mao at the beginning, the subsequent discussions continued to get further and further away. The first person mentioned today's report immediately started discussing it!
Lao Wu and Mao Lao, as well as Zhang Guangnian of "People's Literature", Li Shuguang of the Humanities Society, China Youth, Chinese Literature and other heavyweights successively expressed their support, and then they were not taken up.
But in the end, this symposium was definitely not as smooth as the last Yanjing Literature Wrangler.
"Xuemin, don't feel any psychological burden on me. From now on, you can write whatever you want."
After the meeting, Mr. Wu invited Cheng Xuemin, Weng and his three sons-in-law to the office to comfort Cheng Xuemin and said this in person.
"That's right, Xuemin! This manuscript was jointly recommended by Mr. Wu and Mr. Ba for publication!"
"Even if they want to criticize, we three old guys will carry it with you!"
Mr. Mao also nodded and said!
"Mr. Mao, and me!" Ding Ling also expressed his stance.
"Teacher Wu Laomao and Lao Ding, I'm actually fine! Now that I've written and published that manuscript, I have to be mentally prepared to accept criticism!"
“But did Jinmen go a little too far this time!?”
In Mr. Wu's office, Cheng Xuemin finally saw today's newspaper of "Jinmen Daily". As rumored outside, it devoted 14 pages to denounce and criticize the culprit of Cheng Xuemin's directional error in encirclement and suppression.
"Xuemin, you don't have to think too much, I know a little bit about the specific situation!"
"It must be related to the recent conflict with the wind direction over there!"
Mr. Wu didn't say clearly which direction the wind was blowing, but Cheng Xuemin had triggered the relevant memory and already knew what was going on before and after!
I also know that this is just the beginning, and there will be three large-scale denunciations in Tianjin.
However, they were all counterattacked and defeated by heavyweight newspapers and magazines such as People's Literature, People's Daily, and Literature and Art News.
It was not until 1980, after the results of the reform were reported, that Tianjin ceased activity and made no further noise.
"well!"
On the way back together, Feng's father let out a long sigh.
Things are not going well for the second son in the south. I didn’t expect that something like this happened to the son-in-law here again. How terrible!
"Old Feng, why are you sighing, are you putting pressure on the students for nothing?!"
"I think it would be a good idea to stay in Yanjing for the New Year!"
Feng's mother couldn't stand hearing her man's sighs, and she must have been blaming her in her heart for insisting on being included in the article "Director Qiao's Assumption of the Job"!
To be honest, Feng's mother does feel a little regretful now.
If she had known that the manuscript was not as good as their "October", why would she be so thankless and take advantage of People's Literature!
It’s fine now!
All the negative impacts fell solely on her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin.
In Mr. Wu's office just now, although the two elders comforted them again and again, the last sentence told Xuemin not to leave the capital during this period, which immediately showed the above attitude.
Is this going to put her son-in-law under house arrest?
"Mom, Dad! Actually, I'm doing fine. I just hope I don't involve you anymore!"
Cheng Xuemin also smiled bitterly and said, although he knew that the wind was like thunder and rain, in the end it had no impact on the original author at all.
But Cheng Xuemin had something in his mind, almost opening the eyes of God, so he could see so clearly.
But for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, no matter how much worry he has, it is completely normal. After all, they have all been through it!
No one can guarantee whether the same wind will strike her daughter and son-in-law again.
Even though Mr. Wu and Mr. Mao supported it just now, he didn't dare to guarantee it.
After all, no one has the ability to predict in advance how the wind will blow and which way it will blow.
"Silly boy, don't listen to your dad! What's this? Isn't it just a manuscript? What's this?"
"After you go back, don't tell your children first, you know, Xuemin!"
Feng's mother seemed to be calming down her son-in-law, but her last sentence telling Cheng Xuemin not to tell her daughter revealed the panic in her mother-in-law's heart.
"I know!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded, but he also knew how long he could keep it secret?
If we don’t talk about it today, when the newspapers and periodicals here in Yanjing go online tomorrow, won’t it be known to the whole world?
So you can’t hide it for long!
After agreeing, the three of them separated!
Feng's mother and Feng's father had to go back to their work units to report. It was not time to get off work, so Cheng Xuemin went straight home.
"How is it? Xuemin, did today's symposium go well? What was said at the meeting? Please share it with me!"
As soon as they arrived at home, the young Feng family who had been looking forward to it for a long time pulled Cheng Xuemin and kept asking questions, but he couldn't even answer the question!
"It's okay, okay! At the meeting, teachers Wu Laomao, Lao Ding and others praised my manuscript so highly that I almost got carried away!" Cheng Xuemin told the woman half-truthfully. Mr. Wu Laomao and others really praised me highly. But there are also voices criticizing the encirclement and suppression campaign.
With his mother-in-law's explanation, Cheng Xuemin could only report the good news but not the bad news, so as not to scare the pregnant woman Feng Jiayou.
"Really? I knew that's what I was talking about!"
“Isn’t a symposium just for everyone to sit together and praise the author?”
The woman is indeed right. The symposium is about complimenting each other and making each other's bad feet down. The summary is really accurate.
But in today's symposium, in addition to praise, there is also fighting!
Your man was even ordered to be grounded and not allowed to leave Yanjing before the end of the year, so Cheng Xuemin was dumbfounded when he looked at the house full of New Year’s goods that he wanted to take home!
It was too early to prepare, who knew it would happen like this!
I don’t know if Mr. Wu and the others will regret having such a symposium today. Anyway, Cheng Xuemin regrets attending it!
But this is actually okay, just spend the New Year in Yanjing!
Wait until after the new year to go back and pick up his parents, pay New Year greetings to the father-in-law and mother-in-law here, and give the woman’s betrothal gift by the way!
Actually, it’s really good!
Because Cheng Xuemin knew that if he returned to northern Shaanxi years ago, he might not be able to take his parents over.
After all, everyone celebrates the New Year at home! ?
I really want to take his parents to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year, but I don’t know how people in Chengjiawan in northern Shaanxi will spread the word that his son Cheng Xuemin will become the son-in-law of someone from the city.
Otherwise, why not take his mother-in-law back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, but instead take his parents to the city to celebrate the New Year?
With his parents’ stubborn and arrogant tempers, they really wouldn’t come over to celebrate the New Year at his in-laws’ home.
There is no such custom!
However, Cheng Xuemin did not mention this to the Feng family at all. It would not be too late to talk about it later when she noticed and reacted.
Now, there is definitely no "Jinmen Daily" at home, and Mr. Qian in the front yard has not subscribed to the "Jinmen Daily" either, so the woman Feng Jiayou definitely doesn't know about it yet.
If you haven't gone to winter vacation yet and want to go to school at Yanda, you must already know that there are many newspapers there.
"Xuemin, have you read today's newspaper from Jinmen Daily?"
But despite all precautions, I really can’t guard against my uncle Feng Jiazhao!
Who would have thought that Feng's mother, Cheng Xuemin, was hiding this from Feng Jiayou, so don't let her know first. But my uncle Feng Jiazhao hurried back from get off work and heard him shouting before he even entered the yard.
When Feng's mother heard the news and rushed out, she was surprised to see that this big boy was holding a copy of "Jinmen Daily" in his hand, which was obviously today's copy.
"Brother, what happened to the Daily News today?"
Feng Jiayou, who happened to be sitting by the window and drawing something, heard her eldest brother's shout outside, her little head stuck out of the window and asked.
"Boss, what are you doing buzzing all day long?"
"Didn't you go over to Xuemin's new house and keep an eye on it?!"
Feng's mother hurried forward, complaining about the big boy and winking at the big boy. Can you feel sorry for your sister?
What are you going to do if you bring such a big thunder home?
"Mom, I just came over there!"
My eldest uncle Feng Jiazhao didn't understand what his mother meant by winking at me, and then asked: "Mom, you are going to hold a symposium today. Did you mention today's report in Jinmen Daily?"
"Brother, what did Jinmen Daily say today? What does it have to do with the symposium?"
"Xuemin said that today's symposium was a great success! Teachers Wu Laomao and Ding also spoke highly of him!"
Feng Jiayou was still poking her little head at the window, talking to Feng Jiazhao with a proud face, then saw the newspaper in her elder brother's hand, and said repeatedly, "Brother, the one in your hand is Jinmen Daily!? Give it to me quickly, right? Look, show me, what did you say?"
"Is it a reprint of Xuemin's Director Qiao? There are still praises and comments!?"
Feng Jiayou greeted eagerly, also wanting to see how Kuaijinmen Daily praised her man today!
"Feng Jiazhao, why do you have anything to do with you? Hurry up, go to the kitchen and help me light the fire!"
Feng's mother was so angry that she even winked like that. This elm-headed person just didn't know what to do.
Hurry up and make a fire, and burn the newspaper by the way!
"Mom, what's going on? Have you seen it? Do you know?" Feng Jiazhao was still asking his mother.
"Brother, what did the Jinmen Daily say?"
"Mom, is there something you, Dad and Xuemin are hiding from me?"
Feng Jiayou was also awakened by her mother's overreaction. Instead of waiting at the window, she quickly got up and ran to the door, asking her mother as she ran.
At this time, her husband Cheng Xuemin went to the new house to do some cleaning, and Feng's father had not returned from get off work yet.
"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry!" Feng's mother was so frightened when she saw that this debt collector was not serious, she said repeatedly, "Feng Jiazhao, you too, if your sister wants to see you, send it to her as soon as possible!"
You can't hide it if you see it! Seeing that her grown-up son was still standing there dumbfounded, he asked her if she had seen it?
Can you not watch it?
There was so much noise at the symposium today, but it didn’t reach your Yan Film Studio?
"No, what is the situation?! What happened? Where are Xuemin and others?"
The eldest uncle Feng Jiazhao later realized that his eldest brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin was not at home!
"Xuemin went to the new house! Brother, didn't you see him?"
Feng Jiayou replied, took the newspaper from Feng Jiazhao's hand, and quickly started reading it!
But there was no need to look through it at all. The headline on the front page and the following pages were all about her man's article!
When he reached the top title, Feng Jiayou's face instantly turned pale, and he quickly flipped through it!
"Mom, what's going on?! I didn't see Xuemin at the new house!"
He was so frightened by his sister's reaction!
Feng Jiayou said that Cheng Xuemin went to the new house, but he just came back from there and did not see his brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin at all!
"What can happen! If the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up!" Feng's mother glared at Feng Jiazhao angrily, then moved closer to her daughter and said comfortingly, "Young family, it's just a report. It’s nothing!”
"Both Mr. Wu and Mr. Mao expressed their support for the scholars at the symposium today!"
"It'll be okay!"
She tried her best to comfort her debt collector, but seeing her daughter's body shaking more and more, Feng's mother was so frightened that she hugged her quickly!
“Mom, what’s going on?!”
"Didn't all the big leaders above come to the meeting and highly praise the scholars!?"
"But what's going on with Jinmen Daily?! This...this...how many pages has been spent criticizing scholars?"
Even the youngest members of the Feng family dare not count how much space Jinmen Daily spent on fighting her man.
But all I could see was that the entire page was criticizing her man!
Didn’t you just write a manuscript?
As for this...
But thinking about how many previous cases were caused by a manuscript, Feng Jiayou felt infinite fear in her heart and shuddered.
"It'll be okay, it'll be okay, everything is over, everything is over!"
The younger one in the Feng family became more and more worried and frightened, and her mother also followed suit.
"Mom, this is just a manuscript, please don't do this, okay?!"
"And where is Xuemin!? Where is Xuemin himself?"
Feng Jiazhao wanted to slap himself in the face at this moment. Her mother had attended the symposium today. How could the symposium know about such a big event in Jinmen Daily?
Something must have happened at the meeting that made her mother deliberately hide the fact that her sister, Feng Jiayou, was younger.
But who knows!
He ran home in a panic, screaming about such a thing, and he was completely blind!
"Xuemin? Xuemin? Isn't Xuemin over there at the new house?"
Feng's mother was also panicked after hearing this. When she just came home from get off work, she asked the Feng family's children and said that Cheng Xuemin had gone to the new house!
Feng Jiazhao just came over there and didn’t see it! ?
"Didn't see it!"
"Blind, Xuemin must have escaped, right?"
Uncle Feng Jiazhao slapped his thigh and shouted!
"Escaped!?"
Feng Jiayou looked up in confusion and panic, looking at his elder brother Feng Jiazhao, wondering what to say if he didn't understand.
"Xuemin... escaped?"
Feng's mother also turned pale after hearing this. Mr. Wu asked Cheng Xuemin to leave Beijing before the end of the year. Wouldn't he be a coward and abandon the whole family and run away irresponsibly?
