Chapter 153: Frame it, this is an heirloom of our family (please order it in full)
Just a piece of manuscript paper?
Not even a certificate?
Cheng Xuemin saw that Mr. Wu just handed over a piece of manuscript paper without any extra expression on his face. His heart was completely shut down at this moment. He couldn't think of anything else. He could only stand up excitedly and bow to receive it.
As for the others, Zhang Guangnian, Li Shuguang and Qin Chuan, they were not only full of surprise, but also full of doubts.
What Mr. Wu handed over was just a piece of manuscript paper?
But the weight of this piece of manuscript paper is even more impressive than the preface written by Mao Lao. So what exactly is written on this piece of manuscript paper?
Instructions for high-rise buildings?
But if it was really an instruction for a high-rise building, it would not have been written down on a piece of paper in such a perfunctory manner.
General instructions, not to mention issued in red-headed documents, must at least be formal.
But it's just an ordinary piece of manuscript paper, what on earth is it?
Is face-to-face training suitable?
Or is it just a simple written or verbal compliment, not considered formal praise?
The three of them, full of doubts, all came together, wanting to take a quick look to see what was going on.
"Well?"
But after seeing the content on the manuscript paper, the eyes of Li Shuguang, Qin Chuan, Zhang Guangnian and the others shrank suddenly, and their eyeballs bulged out.
He looked at Mr. Wu with an extremely unbelievable expression.
This... can be invited by Mr. Wu? !
Cheng Xuemin also took the manuscript paper handed over by Mr. Wu with both hands and looked at the text on it. At first glance, he was also full of surprise and confusion.
Because there are four simple cursive characters on the manuscript paper: Change to Pioneer!
Wait until you see the signature!
With a sudden blow, Cheng Xuemin's heart was hit hard, and he looked at Mr. Wu with the same incredible expression.
My heart is already endlessly turbulent!
yes!
Before, Cheng Xuemin was the first to pay tribute to "Director Qiao's Take-Off", just for this honor!
This honor will allow Cheng Xuemin to go further in the future.
But this honor in the previous life would not be officially awarded to the original author of "Director Qiao's Ascension to the Job" for another year or two.
What Cheng Xuemin didn’t expect was!
The supreme honor of being a pioneer in reform is now given to Cheng Xuemin.
Is this... an affirmation of Cheng Xuemin? Is it also a response to the Tianjin Daily report?
Or is it the final conclusion?
"How is it? Feeling a little surprised?"
Seeing Cheng Xuemin's full of surprise and horror, Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Xuemin, your article "The Account of the Assumption of Factory Director Qiao" is the first draft approved by the old leaders!"
"This is a manuscript that uses our cultural propaganda outlet to deepen the spirit of the conference!"
"Although this manuscript has attracted different voices, we should not reject it just because of this!"
Mr. Wu chose some simple instructions from Cheng Xuemin about the instructions he had just received, and continued: "And Xuemin, the "New Year's Greetings" that you later published in "October" explained this very thoroughly!"
"The old leader specifically called out the beginning of your "New Year's Greetings" for your good writing, which almost perfectly expresses the spirit of our meeting!"
"'Gregorian year' - what kind of year is that? No matter how nice you call it 'New Year's Day', the Chinese never treat it as a "year". Recorders and televisions can be imported, but they don't "New Year" can also be imported! The real Chinese New Year is the Spring Festival! This is the first day of the first lunar month, and everything is renewed!
"Xuemin, you wrote this sentence very well, and it was a very powerful counterattack against those different voices. The old leader also highly praised and agreed with your sentence!"
Mr. Wu said very loudly and loudly, which instantly resonated with Cheng Xuemin and made his heart surge.
This is the purpose of the "New Year greetings" he wrote to his mother-in-law in "October".
Because the manuscript "New Year's Greetings" is a silent counterattack written by the original author of "Director Qiao's Assumption of Account" under high pressure and criticism.
The whole article relies on "New Year's greetings" and the national concept that New Year's Day is not the New Year, but the Spring Festival is the New Year, to implicitly counter the different voices that question the spirit of the meeting.
Originally, this article was a bit risky.
But now it seems that not only Cheng Xuemin needs this manuscript, but the entire conference spirit also urgently needs such a manuscript.
That’s why Mr. Wu’s high praise and verbal praise came today.
Listening to Mr. Wu conveying what was said above, Cheng Xuemin nodded repeatedly and said in a panic: "Mr. Wu, don't you dare, I didn't really think that much when I wrote this manuscript. In fact, New Year's Day happened to be Sunday. , our two little nephews and nieces are clamoring that today is the Chinese New Year and they want to eat our Yanjing roast duck!”
"I corrected them at that time. We Chinese don't call New Year's Day the New Year. We have to wait until today's New Year's Eve and tomorrow's Spring Festival, the first day of the first lunar month, to celebrate the New Year!"
“Soon after the Tianjin Daily published that article, I was inspired to write something!”
Cheng Xuemin didn't lie. On New Year's Day, Feng Liqin and Feng Liwen did ask for a big roast duck for the Chinese New Year. Cheng Xuemin corrected her at that time.
Now it can be used as a source of inspiration for writing this "New Year Greetings".
"Xuemin, you said it well. The concept that New Year's Day is not the New Year must be grasped from childhood!"
After hearing this, Mr. Wu suddenly realized that the source of this "New Year's Greetings" manuscript was actually here.
But now it is indeed used to counter Tianjin Daily, which has very unexpected effects.
"Old Li and Old Qin, you have to take these 'four words' in Xuemin's hand back!" Mr. Wu then looked at Li Shuguang and Qin Chuan and said, "It's not just verbal praise!"
"These four words are for the scholars, and they are also for you!"
"For the collection of Xuemin's manuscripts, the old leader asked Mr. Mao to personally help write the preface!"
"And these four words, I invited them to be used on the cover of the collection of manuscripts. Do you understand?"
When Mr. Wu said this, Li Shuguang and the others reacted instantly, and their faces became even more shocked and horrified.
So that’s it!
No wonder the reward was just a piece of paper. If it was just these four words, Cheng Xuemin could take it back and frame it, and it would be considered a family heirloom.
But now after listening to Mr. Wu's instructions, they realized again that it had this effect!
Use these four words to make a book cover for Cheng Xuemin’s collection of short stories! ?
I’ll be a good boy!
The inscription "Change the Pioneer" was used as the cover of the book, and Mr. Mao personally wrote the preface. This is an honor... This is an honor!
After hearing this, Li Shuguang, Zhang Guangnian, Qin Chuan and the others were jealous and envious.
Even Cheng Xuemin himself was dumbfounded when he heard this.
I thought that these four words were a verbal praise for him. He wanted to take them back to his wife and show them to his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
This is the inscription above!
With the pride of my daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou and her mother, they will definitely frame this manuscript with the inscription and hang it in the most conspicuous place in their front yard.
At that time, every time a guest comes to visit, they will definitely see it at first sight, and someone will definitely ask, and they will reply lightly.
That scene really shouldn't be too high-quality.
But who knows!
There is no need to wait for guests to come and see it before you can just pretend to be cool.
Now it is time to directly publish a book, directly use these four words as a book cover, publish it to the people of the whole country, and directly make it known all over the world!
"I understand, I was just thinking about asking you, Mr. Wu, how to name this collection of short stories by Xuemin!" "Now I understand, with these four words you invited me, nothing could be better. It couldn’t be better!”
Li Shuguang from "Humanities Society" nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.
Only then did Mr. Wu nod with satisfaction, then looked at Qin Chuan, who was sitting at attention and waiting for instructions, and said: "Old Qin, the same is true for you. According to the original edition, this supplement of "People's Daily" will publish the four articles of Xuemin in its entirety. Article!"
"At the same time, the first draft of the new year will be decided by these four words on the front page. Lao Qin, please go back and make up the specific content as soon as possible!"
ah?
Waiting for Qin Chuan to take the order, Cheng Xuemin next to him was even more shocked and confused after hearing this!
Not just a collection of short stories!
Tomorrow's People's Daily will also have relevant reports. Not only will his four articles occupy the entire supplement page of the daily.
Now, these four words should be deepened in the headlines and published on the front page? !
"Okay, Mr. Wu, I'll make arrangements as soon as I get back!"
Qin Chuan from People's Daily looked cautious when he heard this and nodded repeatedly.
Next, because he was pressed for time and had heavy tasks, Mr. Wu originally invited Cheng Xuemin and the others to stay and have a lunch with Mr. Mao and the others, which was considered a New Year's Eve dinner for their cultural promotion, but they were declined!
Qin Chuan from People’s Literature had to rush back, write out the manuscript quickly, and send it over for review and finalization as soon as possible.
Although Mr. Wu said it was the first draft of the new year, he did not mean that it was the first day of the new year, but the second day of the new year, and there was still one day left.
People's Daily is a bit tight on time and the tasks are a bit heavy, so I don't dare to stay here for the New Year's Eve dinner.
The same goes for the others, Zhang Guangnian and Li Shuguang, who did not stay to eat.
And there is Cheng Xuemin, if Lao Zhang, Lao Li and Lao Qin stay for this New Year’s Eve dinner, he will definitely stay with Zhan Guang!
But since everyone left, he couldn't stay shamelessly, so he went back with them.
"Xuemin, this is a treasure. If you have time, come back to People's Daily with us first!"
"After we have rubbed it, you can take it back as a treasure to your mother-in-law, Lao Feng and the others!"
"Anyway, we don't dare to keep it for the New Year. If it is lost or damaged by the employees of the printing factory, we, the People's Daily, really can't afford to pay for it."
People's Daily Qin Chuan was talking about the four-character inscription paper in his hand. It was exactly what he said. It was a treasure!
People's Daily really don't dare to keep it overnight for the New Year. If it gets damaged, they really can't afford to pay for it.
And it’s just as Qin Chuan said!
Cheng Xuemin took these four words back and took them out on the New Year’s Eve dinner table that night. The scene...
His mother-in-law, the proud Teacher Gu, had to admire her son-in-law with admiration.
To know!
This piece of manuscript paper can really be directly compared to the ancient imperial edict, right? Her mother-in-law, Teacher Gu, will definitely frame it and hang it up!
"Teacher Qin... okay, I'll stop by and sit down!"
Originally, Cheng Xuemin wanted to say that he was not so humble, but he realized that this was not written by him, but the inscription given by the above.
Therefore, no matter how much Qin Chuan and the others attach importance to rarity, it cannot be overemphasized.
Fortunately, People's Daily is located at No. 117 Wangfujing Street, which is not very far from here. It only takes about 20 minutes by bicycle.
Li Shuguang from the Humanities Society and Zhang Guangnian from People's Literature also nodded and went over together! Because Li Shuguang also had to go there and take the rubbings of these four characters back, so as not to have to go the second way.
Not long after, Cheng Xuemin and three others, led by Qin Chuan, entered the People's Daily office building.
Although today is New Year's Eve, other units may have already gone on winter vacation. Those in Yanjing who are not far from home may have asked for leave a few days ago and returned home!
The spirit of the New Year in this era is still very strong, and the general public attaches great importance to it. Even if they have traveled far and wide, they will rush home to reunite with their families to celebrate the New Year.
However, this is an exception for the People's Daily. Because the People's Daily does not stop publishing during the New Year, there are basically no holidays here, and they basically take turns to take holidays.
After entering the People's Daily, Li Shuguang and the others didn't need Qin Chuan to greet them, just make tea and entertain them warmly!
Instead, he urged him to get down to business quickly, so that after he was done, they could take their things back and celebrate the New Year holiday.
Qin Chuan was not polite, so he quickly took matters into his own hands and carefully rubbed the four inscriptions and signatures on the manuscript paper!
"Xuemin, do you need me to reshape it for you?"
After everything was done, Qin Chuan asked Cheng Xuemin very enthusiastically that he happened to have a plastic press here.
"Old Qin, please pull him down! If Teacher Gu were here, he would definitely not let you do so much!"
"Teacher Gu also has a molding machine for October. When the time comes, Teacher Gu will have to use their October to mold it!"
Without waiting for Cheng Xuemin to nod, he thought it would be good to just reshape it now.
But when Zhang Guangnian laughed at him, Cheng Xuemin realized that his mother-in-law was really such a mother-in-law.
"Oh oh oh, yes, yes! I, I, I am indeed a dog with a mouse!"
Qin Chuan also reacted after hearing this, nodding his head and laughing at himself.
"No, no, no, no, Teacher Qin, Teacher Zhang, you really know how to make fun of my mother-in-law!"
Cheng Xuemin said with an embarrassed smile, but he quickly and carefully put the manuscript paper into his briefcase.
This thing really has to be left to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to deal with on their own later.
After a joke, Qin Chuan wanted to stay with everyone for lunch!
However, Mr. Wu didn’t even stay for the New Year’s Eve dinner and the state banquet, let alone the lunch at Teacher Qin’s side.
Now Cheng Xuemin is eager to return home, wishing he could fly back right now.
And count the time!
If he rode back as fast as he could, he would still be able to make the phone call to his parents in time, which would make the old couple happy with the good news.
He also asked his parents to wait on the phone to read the People’s Daily on the second day of the Lunar New Year!
There may be a whole page full of reports about his great son, and I don’t know what his parents’ reactions will be.
Maybe Cheng Xuemin can see it with his own eyes then!
After all, although the newspaper was published on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it would take a week to reach them in northern Shaanxi and even the Chengjiawan brigade of their commune.
By then, Cheng Xuemin may have arrived home!
Because according to Cheng Xuemin's plan, after spending the New Year in Yanjing, he was going to take the train back on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Immediately, after leaving the People's Daily and saying goodbye to Lao Zhang and Lao Li, Cheng Xuemin rushed home on his bicycle.
But today is New Year's Eve, and all the citizens of Yanjing City have come out, so the road is very crowded and blocked.
By the time Cheng Xuemin arrived home, it was already past one in the afternoon!
