Chapter 241 Is this just an appetizer? Is the big one still behind here? (Please order in full)
“Are you going to be a teacher?”
My uncle Feng Jiazhao, who was standing on a bench pasting the certificate, turned around and was shocked.
Just now, he was envious of his brother-in-law. At such a young age, he was invited to study by the Institute of Literature and Art, so why did he go to gold-plating?
But when he turned around to post a certificate of award, Cheng Xuemin behind him said directly, he did not go to the Institute of Literature to study and be a student, but to give lectures and become a teacher.
This time, it was a blow a hundred thousand times on the spot, hitting his uncle Feng Jiazhao instantly.
Go to the Literary Institute to study. Maybe if you try hard this year, you won't be able to do it. You can come back next year. Anyway, if you hang out in the literary and art circles, you will be invited one day.
You can go to a literary institute to give lectures and become a teacher... let's wait thirty years and then wait.
"Xuemin, have you been invited by the Institute of Literature and Art to be a teacher?"
My daughter-in-law, Feng Jiayou, was originally very proud. Her husband was the only one in the family, so he was invited to study at the Wen Dao Institute, right?
But why did he turn around and directly become a lecturer at a literary institute and become a teacher?
Why is this routine... the same as when Yanda specially hired his man as a lecturer before?
At first, I thought that his man was being specially recruited by Yan Da and Hua Qing, but in the end, Yan Da went against common sense and hired a special recruit directly.
Good guy, the routines at the Literature Institute are the same as this! ?
"Yes, I didn't expect that Teacher Ding Ling and Teacher Wang Meng would suddenly invite me to give lectures!"
Facing the confusion and shock of his family members, Cheng Xuemin nodded. In fact, he was also very surprised at first.
"Really!?"
Feng's mother, Teacher Gu, was still confused, her face was still full of shock, she really couldn't believe it.
"It may have something to do with Xuemin's acceptance speech. In the afternoon, Xuemin, you may have said a lot, which made Ding Ling and Wang Meng change their original idea of letting you study!"
However, Feng's father quickly came to his senses and helped the family analyze: "And given the current situation of the students, going to the literary institute to study as a student is actually just a formality. Just like what Qin's mother said, go and have a good time. gold!"
"In addition to Xuemin's lecture on The Fission of the Qin Dynasty at Yan'an University, today's acceptance speech, and Xuemin's status as a distinguished lecturer at Yan'an University, no one really treats you, Xuemin, as a new student!"
"That's true! Xuemin, you won awards for six manuscripts this time. In addition, as a distinguished lecturer of Yan University, it is indeed inappropriate to study at the Institute of Literature. Ding Ling and Wang Meng must have considered this!"
After listening to her man's analysis, Feng's mother nodded and sat down here again, chatting without too much envy in her eyes.
In fact, as the senior editor of October, Feng's mother is known as "Teacher Gu" in the cultural field, and she also looks forward to being invited to give lectures by the Institute of Literature and Literature.
After all, the level of the Literary Lecture Institute is so high, and being invited to teach one or two classes is a recognition of status in the literary world.
pity!
So far, not to mention her, Teacher Gu of "October", even Liu Xinwu, the editor-in-chief of "October", has not received an invitation.
She really didn't expect that her son-in-law would be a latecomer and beat her and Lao Feng to be invited by the Institute of Literature to give lectures.
Well, yes!
Her family, Lao Feng, the deputy director of the Translation Office of the Foreign Languages Publishing Administration and a talented person who was often active in major publications and newspapers in his early years, also did not receive an invitation.
At home, Cheng Xuemin, the son-in-law, has received it. How can he not make Mother Feng envious?
But they are also very proud. The old Feng family has recruited a good son-in-law!
At this time, perhaps in Teacher Feng’s mother’s mind, her son-in-law was even more proud of being invited to give lectures by the Institute of Literature and Literature than she was when she received the invitation, right? !
Seeing his mother-in-law chatting so enthusiastically with her face flushed, Cheng Xuemin couldn't pretend anymore.
If he were to continue, today not only would Teacher Ding Ling of the Institute of Humanities invite him, but Li Shuguang, editor-in-chief and editorial board director of the Humanities Society, would also add him to the editorial board of the Humanities Society.
If I told my mother-in-law about this, I don't know if she would be able to sleep tonight.
Therefore, Cheng Xuemin chose not to mention it for the time being. It would be too late to mention it again after he actually joined the editorial board of the Humanities Society.
Anyway, I have already excited my mother-in-law and my father-in-law once tonight, so I will leave the rest for the next time.
With the concerted efforts of the two uncles, all six certificates were finally pasted up and pasted under the "Pioneer in Reform" frame. They were neat and very conspicuous, which made the mother-in-law, Feng Mu, very satisfied.
"Xuemin, where is the bonus?"
"You won six certificates this time, so there should be six bonuses, right?"
"Take it out quickly?! Why didn't I find it when I looked through the bag just now?"
After chatting with Feng's mother and Feng's father in the front yard for a while, Cheng Xuemin hugged his son Cheng Qingsong and returned to the backyard with his wife, Feng Jiayou.
I asked my elder sister, second sister-in-law, and cousin who were studying in the main room with concern, how they did in the exam today.
It's not bad. People say the questions are pretty easy, so it shouldn't be bad.
With their words, Cheng Xuemin also felt that their college entrance examination this year was definitely on track.
Then they went back to their own house!
Before the son was put into the bamboo crib, his daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou couldn't wait to ask.
"Huh? Bonus? Wife, what kind of bonus is it?"
When Feng Jiayou asked this, Cheng Xuemin asked in confusion.
"The bonus for winning today! Don't tell me, Xuemin, there is only a certificate souvenir, but no bonus, right?"
Feng Jiayou saw that her man was also confused by her question, and felt that there might be no bonus.
"Hi!"
"I've given you souvenirs, where's the bonus? This... shouldn't be a bonus, right?"
"I saw other winners and none of them mentioned the prize money?"
Cheng Xuemin got excited, but also reacted when asked by his daughter-in-law!
Yeah, what about the bonus?
The first national award for outstanding short stories only gives out certificates and souvenirs, but no prize money?
Not really!
Awards in this era are so simple. There are only certificates and souvenirs, and there are generally no such mundane things as bonuses.
and!
Judging from the attitude of today's winners, perhaps the certificates and souvenirs in their hands are more meaningful than giving them a bonus of 100 yuan.
Just let them choose between a certificate souvenir and a bonus. The winner will definitely choose the former.
"There's no bonus?!" When Feng Jiayou heard that there was indeed no bonus, he couldn't help but look disappointed, and muttered, "It would be good to give out a bonus of 100 yuan per prize!"
really!
Even if a bonus is 100 yuan, they can also get a bonus of 600 yuan, which is pretty good!
Unfortunately, the organizers above are not interested in this at all.
"Okay, if there is no bonus, there will be no bonus. We don't lack that bonus, right?"
Cheng Xuemin gave the woman a dumbfounded look and comforted her with a smile. Does their family live off that bonus now?
With his man's current status in the literary world, he could just write some manuscripts and articles, and the royalties would come pouring in.
"It's missing!"
"If there is a bonus, I can buy an electric fan for our son!"
The Feng family gave Cheng Xuemin a flirtatious look, and when they mentioned the horrible weather, they said in an upset voice, "Xuemin, this can't be done. Night is a critical period for squirrels to grow. It's not okay if it's too hot and can't sleep well!"
"Look back, let's go buy an electric fan and come back!"
"Look, after such a while, the little squirrel's back is hot and wet again!"
Seeing his son who had just been placed in the bamboo rocking bed struggling to turn over, Feng Jiayou found that his back was indeed hot and wet, and he couldn't help but feel distressed and said anxiously.
"Okay, then, wifey, give me some money and I'll go to the overseas Chinese store to buy one as soon as possible!"
good!
Cheng Xuemin screamed in his heart, "Okay, just wait here, finally let him wait!"
I do feel very sorry for my stinky son, and I really heat him up.
But we can't blame him for being a cruel father. He used his own son to test his mother and pry out some private money. In fact, it was Cheng Xuemin who couldn't get away.
Originally, instead of going to the Great Hall of the People to attend the awards ceremony today, he would have bought the electric fan back today, regardless of whether his mother Feng Jiayou paid for it or not.
Even though there was no symposium in the afternoon, Cheng Xuemin came back early in the afternoon and bought an electric fan from the overseas Chinese store.
Cheng Xuemin always carries foreign exchange coupons with him!
But today's time is really full, and I really can't get around to shopping.
So I can only say sorry to the two of them in my heart, and just stay through this night for a little longer!
I will definitely go to the overseas Chinese store tomorrow and buy the electric fan, mother and son.
"Is there really no electric fan in the department store?"
But as a mother, Feng Jiayou felt distressed when she thought of the 200-300 yuan foreign exchange coupon for an electric fan in an overseas Chinese store, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan in RMB!
“I have searched several stores in the city, and they are indeed not available for sale!”
Don't even think about domestic electric fans. It may be that this summer is too hot, which prompted domestic electric fans to start production lines in the second half of this year.
When domestic electric fans are fully rolled out from factories, we have to wait until next summer.
In order to save hundreds of money by waiting for a domestic product, his son and daughter-in-law suffer? There is no need. Cheng Xuemin, a man, is not short of a few hundred dollars.
"That's okay!"
Feng Jiayou's face was full of distress, and she began to mess around with her small treasury and make some calculations.
"Originally, I planned to take this money with my sister and cousin when they go back in the next two days!"
Feng Jiayou counted her small treasury again. The passbook showed a bank account worth ten thousand yuan, plus two thousand yuan, and another thousand yuan in cash.
She counted and gave Cheng Xuemin nine hundred yuan and said.
"For my sister and the others?"
Cheng Xuemin started to feel a little embarrassed when he took the money from his wife.
"Yes! My sister has only been preparing for the exam with us for half a year, and we have no other extra income. Why don't we give her some money to buy something to go back to?"
Feng Jiayou nodded and continued: "Xuemin, do you think it's okay to give 500 elder sisters 100 Xiaolian?"
"Okay! Wife, just watch it!"
Cheng Xuemin held the woman in his arms, feeling sad that this woman was too damn good at helping him!
Even though she is usually very obsessed with small fortunes and is picky about herself, she is really generous to Cheng Xuemin's family and is a good person.
As for giving the elder sister five hundred yuan, it is definitely too much!
After all, most wages in this era are only twenty or thirty yuan. Five hundred yuan is equivalent to two years' salary for a single worker without food or water!
This is Feng Jiayou, a wealthy woman with a household worth tens of thousands of dollars. In her eyes, a few hundred dollars is already a small amount of money.
So, what can Cheng Xuemin say about his daughter-in-law being so generous to his family?
Cheng Xuemin is just an older sister. She has been preparing for the exam here for the past six months, but she has also taken good care of Feng Jiayou, her sister-in-law, in every aspect.
Therefore, if the money should be given, he would not feel that it was too much.
"Well! Then I'll go to the bank tomorrow and withdraw some cash. I don't have enough at home!"
Feng Jiayou was held in the arms of his own man, and he hummed happily. Cheng Xuemin was unmoved and stuffed the cash he had received under the bamboo mat.
Then he said to Feng Jiayou: "Daughter-in-law, there is actually a good thing. I didn't dare to mention it to my parents earlier!"
"What a good thing?"
Feng Jiayou then raised his head again, looked at Cheng Xuemin with a flushed face, and asked.
Apart from the good things about winning the prize and going to the Wenjiang Lecture Center, there were other good things that he didn't dare to mention to his mother-in-law. Doesn't that mean that this good thing is even better than the previous two?
"Today, Lao Li from the Humanities Society said that their Humanities Society was going to expand and invited me to join the editorial board!" Cheng Xuemin and his wife Feng Jiayou mentioned it truthfully.
"Lao Li invited you to join the editorial board? This is a good thing..."
"What? Xuemin, are you joining the editorial board of the People's Literature Publishing House? Is it the same editorial board my dad was invited to join in early April?"
At first, Feng Jiayou didn't realize it yet, so he thought it would not be a big surprise for his man to become an editorial board member of a magazine. After all, his man had to give lectures at a literary institute.
But in hindsight, I quickly realized that he was an editorial board member of the Humanities Society and the People's Literature Publishing House. That kind of weight...
It’s hard to explain, but as far as the Feng family knows, when her father, Feng’s father, was invited to join the editorial board of the Humanities Society in early April, her mother happily celebrated with her father.
Even her dad had three more drinks that night.
Immediately after joining the editorial board of the Humanities Society, her father, Father Feng, was quickly promoted by his employer, and he began to have the qualifications to take charge of the daily work of the Translation Office of the Foreign Languages Publishing House.
But she didn't make her mother envious. Don't be too greedy.
But I really didn’t expect, how long has it been? Her man, Cheng Xuemin, is also following her and is about to join the editorial board of the Humanities Society.
There are two editorial committee members in one department, so don’t be too embarrassed to say it out!
"That should be the case, right? Lao Li is the director of the editorial board of the Humanities Society. The editorial board member he invited to join must be the one that dad joined, right?"
What else could there be on the editorial board of the Humanities Society?
Absolutely not, it must be the same as my father-in-law's. How could this be wrong?
"Xuemin, you, you, you...you are so awesome!"
When the love reached the depths, Feng Jiayou kissed her man hard, then thought of something and quickly started to hide her little treasury again, while saying, "This won't work, I have to tell my mother the good news!"
"If my mother knew that her son-in-law also joined the editorial board of the Humanities Society, I don't know how happy she would be!"
"This is more arrogant than when you, Xuemin, give lectures at the Humanities Club!"
…
Asking for a monthly ticket!
