Chapter 138 Father Feng’s roar, you guys are so ridiculous (please order the full version)
"Teacher Gu, don't show me that novella! I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it!"
"You can just ask Xuemin to give away "People's Literature"!"
Liu Xinwu was eavesdropping, and no matter what he heard, he felt that Teacher Gu was pretending to be him when he was on the phone with Li Qingquan.
After seeing Teacher Gu finish the phone call, he waved his hands again and again. The novella in Teacher Gu's hand was worth noting whether he wanted to read it or not.
Since they want to increase their momentum, their leader in the north, "People's Literature", must be indispensable!
It just so happens that Teacher Gu has another novella in his hand, so he must top it directly!
If they keep "October" in their hands and wait for the next issue, Li Qingquan and the others will inevitably accuse him of being greedy and Liu Xinwu being greedy and slipping up at critical moments.
"Huh?! Lao Liu, are you really willing to give up?"
Mother Feng had just hung up the phone, and her heart was indeed touched by Li Qingquan's words!
Thinking about the novella in hand, let "People's Literature" be published first, and the United Front will make the momentum bigger first.
But I was quick to talk just now and gave it to Old Liu. I was still discussing how to word it with Old Liu, but I didn't expect that Old Liu should have heard what Li Qingquan said on the phone and expressed his position on the spot without saying a word.
On the contrary, it made Feng’s mother a little embarrassed!
"I just couldn't bear to see it, so I just stopped reading it! You don't want to show it to me, I really can't bear to show it to him Zhang Guangnian!"
In front of the united front, Liu Xinwu will not hold back.
Isn’t it just a novella!
As long as Teacher Gu and her son-in-law can still write, will they be able to get good manuscripts from her mother-in-law in the future?
"Okay, then Lao Liu, thank you, I won't be polite to you anymore!"
"That novella, I asked Xuemin to send it to Lao Zhang of "People's Literature" tomorrow!"
Feng's mother is not a pretentious person. Since Old Liu gave in, there is no reason for her to be reluctant to let go as the mother-in-law.
"Okay, okay, let Xuemin send it over as soon as possible! Lao Zhang will start finalizing it in the next few days!"
Liu Xinwu nodded angrily, and asked without giving up: "Teacher Gu, how was the novella by Xuemin? Can you tell me the general content?"
"Old Liu, since I let you go, it's better for you to know less!"
Speaking of the content of the novella, Feng's mother's face turned red instantly and she didn't know how to tell Lao Liu.
Feng's mother also didn't expect that the manuscript that the debt collector couple refused to take out even to death was actually written like this!
What a good son-in-law to her Gu Xueqing!
He actually wrote about her, the mother-in-law, in such a way, so thoroughly!
to be honest!
Mother-in-law Feng Mu didn’t know how to face her son-in-law when she returned from get off work.
I don’t know whether I should criticize him or praise him!
Anyway, I just feel that since it’s about the mother-in-law, why isn’t there some ventilation in the front? At any rate, let's ask her in person for her mother-in-law's opinion on what to write, right?
It was better for the debt collector couple to just close the door and write imaginatively on their own, which made her, the mother-in-law, feel angry, happy, ashamed, and in a very complicated mood.
"Huh?! So it means the writing is particularly good?"
Seeing Teacher Gu's shy and humble expression, Liu Xinwu immediately realized that he might be too generous and gave up a great article.
That’s right!
Liu Xinwu then realized that the manuscripts written by Teacher Gu and her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin were all completed and delivered very quickly.
But the current novella can be said to have been carefully polished and took more than a month to write.
Just from the time spent, it is enough to tell that this novella is the painstaking work of her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin!
What a painstaking work!
Any of the manuscripts I wrote before can produce pioneering works such as "The Wrangler" and "The Account of Director Qiao's Taking Over", but what about the work that took more than a month of hard work?
No more, no more!
Liu Xinwu thought of this and said to Feng's mother angrily: "This is it, Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu! Let's give this manuscript to Lao Zhang. We will stick to the original plan and write the novella by Xue Min. What do you think?"
"What Xuemin means is that we hope we can do this first!" Feng's mother did not make it difficult for Liu Xinwu after hearing this. After passing on Cheng Xuemin's original words, she continued, "We can also give it to "People's Literature". We will follow the original Plan on that novella!”
It's the same for everyone, but Mother Feng can't guarantee that her son-in-law rushed out the manuscript last night and gave it to Zhang Guangnian of "People's Literature". Will he dare to publish it?
If Lao Zhang doesn't dare to join, the most influential Lao Zhang will be missing from the united front!
If Lao Zhang is asked to take part in the novella, he will definitely do it!
The nature of the two manuscripts is completely different.
"Forget it, forget it!"
"Let's still take advantage of Lao Zhang this time! We'll do it next time!"
"Teacher Gu, you have to keep an eye on the students next time and don't miss any more manuscripts!"
"You see, Mr. Bala has personally come to ask for manuscripts, and I don't even know about it!"
Liu Xinwu saw Teacher Gu's difficulty and knew what they were worried about. He immediately stopped feeling distressed. He could change his mind and regret something that he had decided directly!
However, she still had to ask Teacher Gu to keep an eye on her son-in-law. They both lived under the same roof, so why were the drafts missed so seriously?
Or is he, the editor-in-chief, not sincere enough because he didn’t visit in person?
Immediately, Liu Xinwu added: "Perhaps I was rude! After this issue is over, I will personally come to visit Teacher Gu, you and Xuemin to wish you a happy New Year, and make an appointment for the next issue!"
After they finish the "October" issue, the next issue will probably start in two months, so there is plenty of time.
"No, no, no! Old Liu, don't ignore us like this!" Feng's mother shook her head repeatedly and said, "If you want to pay New Year's greetings, I will go with Xuemin to pay you New Year's greetings later!"
"Really, thank you!"
Teacher Gu also choked up and said hoarsely when he talked about the emotional part.
Liu Xinwu directly approved the manuscript for her son-in-law, which is already a huge favor!
"Hey! Teacher Gu, don't say that! Li Qingquan said that he, Yanjing Literature, is Xuemin's natal family, and we are still Xuemin's mother-in-law!"
"He, Li Qingquan, did not hesitate to support Xuemin. How can we, as mothers-in-law, lag behind!?"
There were some polite words after that, and Feng's mother came out wiping tears, which made Lao Wang and others in the editorial department look at each other.
"Xiao Yang, don't review this novella for now. I'll take it away after get off work!"
After coming out, Feng's mother directly greeted Xiao Yang, the editor in charge, not to review the novella again, but to give preliminary review opinions!
I will take it away after get off work later and ask Xuemin to hand it over to Lao Zhang of "People's Literature" as soon as possible.
"No more trial?!"
"But Xuemin's new manuscript is really well written!"
"Teacher Gu, is your son-in-law writing about you?"
Xiao Yang, the editor in charge, was still immersed in "Parental Love", but suddenly heard Feng's mother talking, raised his head and looked at Feng's mother blankly, and asked in surprise.
"Forget the trial, Lao Liu will give it to "People's Literature"!"
Xiao Yang, the editor-in-chief, could tell at a glance that her son-in-law was writing about himself. Feng's mother looked shy again, so she quickly stepped forward and snatched the manuscript away, not to read it again!
"Ah!? Give it to "People's Literature" again?" Xiao Yang couldn't help but asked in surprise when he heard this.
"Teacher Gu! The novella that your son-in-law promised to give to us before, Lao Liu said that it would be given to "People's Literature". What is the situation?"
At this time, the editorial team leader Wang was not calm. He quickly came over and asked quickly: "How is this manuscript written?! I haven't even read it!"
"Yes! Teacher Gu, why do you want to give it to "People's Literature" again? Why do you have to write good manuscripts to them first?"
Cao Aiqin was also indignant after hearing this. When she heard Xiao Yang say that Teacher Gu and her son-in-law were writing about Teacher Gu, she immediately became excited and hurried over to read it first.
If I had known that it was her son-in-law writing about his mother-in-law, he should have read it along with Xiao Yang when he was asked to do the first trial.
"Forget it, wait until "People's Literature" publishes it and you can read it again!"
"I have to go back first!"
Seeing that it was time to get off work, Feng's mother quickly took the opportunity to find an excuse and hurriedly retreated.
It made Lao Wang, Cao Aiqin and the others feel very sad. This time they took advantage of Lao Zhang's "People's Literature".
"Xiao Yang, what is written in this novella?! Why do you think Teacher Gu and her son-in-law are writing about the mother-in-law?"
When Cao Aiqin saw Feng's mother running away with the manuscript, she refused to give up and asked Xiao Yang, the only person who had read the manuscript.
"Teacher Cao, I only read the first ten thousand words, and I'm not sure what's written at the end!"
"But the title of the manuscript is called 'Parental Love', I guessed it!"
Xiao Yang actually didn't read much, just the beginning and the title.
But just from the title and a few words at the beginning, Xiao Yang made a casual guess.
Unexpectedly, Teacher Gu blushed on the spot, snatched the manuscript away, refused to review it, and gave it to "People's Literature".
"Parents love?!"
"Oh my God! Teacher Gu's son-in-law, is he writing about the incident between Teacher Gu and Lao Feng?"
When Cao Aiqin heard this title, she immediately started eating and said, "I think back when Teacher Gu and Lao Feng were at Yanda, they were such a golden couple. They really deserve to be written about!"
"But what I never expected was that it would be Teacher Gu and her son-in-law who would write about them!" Wang, the leader of the editorial team, rolled his eyes involuntarily after hearing this, and exclaimed: "No way?"
"What kind of golden boy and beautiful girl are you never expecting? Old teacher Wang Cao, Xiao Yang, what are you talking about?"
At this time, Li Qingquan came out with a manuscript. Hearing Cao Aiqin and the others speak in surprise, they couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Old Liu, did you give the 'parental love' of Mr. Gu's son-in-law to "People's Literature"?"
When Lao Wang saw Liu Xinwu coming out, he quickly asked.
"What kind of parental love?" Liu Xinwu didn't react for a moment and asked with a confused face.
"It's the novella her son-in-law wants to give us! It's called 'Parental Love', and it was just brought back by Teacher Gu!"
Lao Wang was so anxious that he stamped his feet. Lao Liu didn't even look at it and just gave up the "Parents' Love" novella. How generous was he?
“Xuemin’s novella is called ‘Parental Love’?”
Liu Xinwu also reacted at this time, and was also very curious, asking: "Who are you writing about!? Are you Xuemin's parents? It's the same as the previous article "Loess Plateau" in "Yanhe Literature", it has a local A manuscript from a regional representative?”
Since he was writing about his parents' love, Liu Xinwu's first thought was of course Cheng Xuemin's own parents in northern Shaanxi!
Liu Xinwu had visited northern Shaanxi before, and he also had deep feelings for the place, and knew that there was much to write about.
Therefore, Cheng Xuemin did have some ideas when he wrote about his parents to reflect the human atmosphere in northern Shaanxi.
"We didn't even look at it!"
"Xiao Yang said that it should be about the love between Teacher Gu and Lao Feng!"
Lao Wang spread his hands, shook his head and said after finishing the attack.
"Fuck! Who!?"
"Xuemin wrote about Teacher Gu and Lao Feng?"
"Where's the manuscript? Give me a look first, give me a look first!"
Liu Xinwu was dumbfounded for a moment. What was Cheng Xuemin's son-in-law writing about was not his parents, nor was he writing about the human relations and features of northern Shaanxi?
It was actually about his mother-in-law and his father-in-law?
Liu Xinwu was so anxious on the spot that he quickly asked for the manuscript to read. Liu Xinwu had to see it first.
"You were taken away by Teacher Gu! Old Liu, you said it yourself, you gave it to "People's Literature"!"
"You didn't even read it yourself, Lao Liu, so you just gave it to others so generously?"
Seeing Liu Xinwu's big reaction, Lao Wang, Cao Aiqin, Xiao Yang and the others were speechless on the spot. Who is this person?
I am short of manuscripts and yet I am still here without even taking a look at them. I am pretending to be poor and generous!
……
Feng's mother didn't know that after she left, her colleagues in the editorial department would be behind her throughout October.
The experience of her and her lover Feng's father studying at Yanda in their early years.
At that time, not long after Yan University moved back to Yanjing, there were indeed too many things for her son-in-law to write.
"Are you hungry?! I'll cook for you right away!"
When Feng's mother returned home, she saw the debt collector couple writing something at the desk from the window of the yard and said hello.
"Mom, you're back!"
Feng Jiayou raised her head and said hello to her mother. She saw that her mother went directly into the kitchen without saying a word.
He turned his head and said to the man next to him: "Xuemin, what do you think my mother felt after reading your book "Parental Love"?"
"Do you think your mother-in-law is shy now that she's hiding in the kitchen without saying a word?"
Feng Jiayou's main character is a rebel Tiangang, and how long has it been since then to still make jokes about her mother?
"I gave Mom the manuscript today, so you shouldn't have given Mom the novella!"
Mentioning this, Cheng Xuemin also secretly blamed this girl.
He rushed out a manuscript overnight and asked his mother-in-law to take it to October to read first. If they dared to take part in it, this "Parental Love" could be put out again!
But who would have thought that this woman was so good that she didn't say hello without a slap today, she just said it very simply!
It’s fine now!
Her mother didn't think much of herself just now, which made Cheng Xuemin feel a little embarrassed in front of others.
"Then you blame me?"
Feng Jiayoumei glanced and muttered angrily.
"No, no! Wife, I don't blame you!" Cheng Xuemin quickly waved his hand, pointed at her mother's bag, and said, "The manuscript may have been typed back! Look at my mother's bag, is it bulging?"
"Did you call back!?"
Feng Jiayou also looked over and found that her mother's bag hanging on the front of the bicycle was indeed bulging!
Obviously, it contains the large novella given to her today, with more than 200,000 words, a whole stack!
“Isn’t my mother too shy to publish what her son-in-law wrote about her mother-in-law?”
"No, I'll go ask!"
Unable to sit still, Feng Jiayou quickly stood up and leaned towards her mother in the kitchen. Soon, mother and daughter were whispering in the kitchen.
Because their side room was far away from the kitchen, Cheng Xuemin couldn't hear it at all.
He only saw Feng Jiayou in the kitchen, pointing to him from time to time, which made Cheng Xuemin quickly lower his head, pretending to be writing furiously.
"Xuemin, I have already hired a mason, and he will drag the sand and gravel in tomorrow!"
"I also asked several companies about cement, and it shouldn't be a big problem!"
My uncle Feng Jiazhao came back and shouted to Cheng Xuemin when he passed by the window.
"Okay, okay, thank you, brother! This is money for the master mason and to buy sand, gravel and cement. Brother, please take these first. If you don't have enough, tell me later!"
After hearing this, Cheng Xuemin hurried out and gave the money agreed to with Feng Jiayou today, 200 yuan in cash, to his uncle Feng Jiazhao.
Although Cheng Xuemin stopped going back to northern Shaanxi a year ago, he still couldn't leave because he had Feng Jiayou who was expecting a baby at home!
So I still need my uncle to help with the decoration of the yard at Yanda.
The wages from the master and the money to buy materials must be given to my uncle first, knowing that he is tight on money.
"No! Xuemin, what are you doing! This is not an outsider, why are you telling me these false etiquettes?"
"Take it back, take it back!"
Seeing his brother-in-law handing him a wad of unity, at least twenty of them, his uncle Feng Jiazhao waved his hand repeatedly and refused to accept it.
"Brother, you need money to buy materials and other miscellaneous things!"
"Take it, take it! I can't decorate it with my children, and it's not good for me to ask you to pay for it!"
Cheng Xuemin insisted on giving it, but his uncle Feng Jiazhao refused to give it to him for the first time and decided to change his gender directly?
"Okay, okay! Xuemin, let me tell you the truth! Mom has already given me three hundred yuan to decorate it in a good way, so don't give me another second!"
Feng Jiazhao saw that he really couldn't push it away, so he could only tell the truth!
Asking him to advance the decoration money was not because he was reluctant, but because his strength did not allow it. His mother had known that he was a son, so she gave him three hundred yuan a long time ago and asked him to help keep an eye on it. , dress well.
If it's not enough, go back and ask her mother for it.
So now it’s not easy to accept money from my brother-in-law, so I might as well just tell the truth!
"Ah!? Mom has already given it!?"
Cheng Xuemin was equally surprised. He glanced at the kitchen, and then whispered to his uncle, "What mom gave me should only be enough for regular repairs. I need some additional materials for my bathroom!"
"In this case, brother, you can keep the money first and then return more or less to replenish me later, okay?"
"This...that's okay!"
Uncle Feng Jiazhao nodded when he thought about the private bathroom, and then secretly collected the money first!
"By the way, Xuemin, your novella Liu said, let's give it to "People's Literature" Lao Zhang!"
At the dinner table, Feng's mother brought up the matter of the novella.
"Why did it come to Lao Zhang again?!" Before Cheng Xuemin could be surprised, Feng's father was the first to ask in confusion.
"For a united front!"
"This time we have made appointments with Li Xiaolin from "October" and "Harvest" and Lao Li from "Yenjing Literature"!"
"With the addition of this novella "People's Literature", we will work together as a united front..."
"Xueqing, you are joking!"
But before Feng's mother finished speaking, Feng's father, who looked horrified, slapped the table on the spot and said.
In an instant, Cheng Xuemin, Feng Jiayou and Feng Jiazhao were frightened at the dinner table...
The whole family trembled, looking at Feng's father who suddenly broke out with extremely horrified expressions!
