Chapter 37 Easy to handle
"The Wrangler" has been published in "Yanjing Literature and Art" for nearly two months. It has been well received by readers and praised by critics. In the past month, many critics have expressed their opinions on this novel.
and opinions, further expanding the discussion and influence caused by this novel.
Being able to communicate closely with the author who wrote such an influential and excellent work made Liang Zuo tremble with excitement.
Lin Chaoyang said a few words to him. The buddy spoke quickly and tremblingly, as if his repeater was jammed. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Yaozhong: What's wrong with you, buddy?
"Don't worry about him, he's just like that. He trembles when he's excited, and he's very good at talking without stopping."
The fact is indeed as Zhang Yaozhong said, Liang Zuo was excited and trembling, but his thinking was very clear, and he could vaguely see the shadow of the "comedy master" of later generations.
When Liang Zuo and Lin Chaoyang were discussing novel writing techniques and ideas, Lin Chaoyang really wanted to tell him: Go home and ask your mother!
This is not a curse word.
People in later generations will know that Liang Zuo is a well-known comedy screenwriter and the screenwriter of the classic sitcoms "I Love My Family" and "Sister Ma," and he first became famous on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
In 1986, Jiang Kun appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage with his cross talk "Reverage in the Tiger's Mouth" and became an instant hit. Liang Zuo was the screenwriter of this cross talk.
The reason why the two collaborated on the Spring Festival Gala stage was because Jiang Kun was running out of inspiration at that time and wanted to seek help from Chen Rong, a well-known domestic female writer, and Chen Rong was Liang Zuo's mother.
Jiang Kun saw the novel "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" that Liang Zuo had just written at Chen Rong's house. He fell in love with the novel at a glance and persuaded Liang Zuo to adapt the novel into a cross talk of the same name. This led to the subsequent cooperation between the two, and
This cross talk became an instant hit.
I have a mother who is a writer. When it comes to creation, Liang Zuo turns to others for help rather than seeking help from others.
But Lin Chaoyang could probably guess what Liang Zuo was thinking. Young people always have a bit of inexplicable arrogance. How can they be considered a hero by relying on their parents?
The two communicated for almost an hour, and Liang Zuo was finally satisfied.
Zhang Yaozhong said a few more words to Lin Chaoyang, and he noticed the watch on Lin Chaoyang's wrist.
His expression was surprised, "When did you buy the watch? It's our Shanghai brand!"
Lin Chaoyang put down his hand and pulled up his cuff to cover the watch, looking plain and simple.
Zhang Yaozhong was about to praise him for being low-key when he heard Lin Chaoyang say: "Your sister-in-law bought it for me."
I don’t need to ask!
A few days later, the examination season of Yan University came to an end, and both teachers and students were preparing for the winter vacation.
Tao's mother has been planning TV tickets in the past few days. The family had discussed buying a TV before, but these days there are many things that cannot be bought with money.
You need food stamps to even eat, let alone a sophisticated industrial product like a television set?
Unfortunately, this thing is in short supply right now and not that easy to find. In the end, my uncle got a TV ticket from a colleague at their school and treated them to a meal without spending any money.
The night I got the TV ticket back, my uncle was very proud at the dinner table. After all, not everyone can get a TV ticket without spending money. If this thing is sold outside, it must be worth it at least.
A few dozen dollars more.
In the end, I don’t know which nerve my sister-in-law Zhao Li was touched. She, who has never had a sense of presence at home, rarely said: "Don’t you look at how many meals you usually buy at school?"
People say, don't push an honest person into a hurry, otherwise you won't even have a chance to apologize.
Obviously, tonight, my uncle has cornered my sister-in-law, Zhao Li, who is an honest person.
At this time, he looked a little embarrassed, "Look, why are you talking about this? It's a relationship, between friends..."
"Okay!" The uncle's quibbling was interrupted by Tao's father. He said solemnly: "I should thank you for receiving the TV ticket. Your child is already so old. You have to take care of your family. Don't always let others do it for you.
Wipe your ass."
Tao's father's words were full of puns, and my uncle was speechless, but it was Tao's mother who had the worst expression at the dinner table.
Sister-in-law Zhao Li and uncle-in-law are a couple, they are one and the same, they can't even talk about wiping their butts. It's self-evident who Tao's father refers to.
At this time, Lin Chaoyang was observing his wife's expression. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the crazy twitching corners of her mouth were all telling her good mood.
After returning to the room, Tao Yushu finally couldn't help laughing, vividly explaining what it means to take pleasure in one's misfortune.
"Look how happy you are! Are you so happy when your brother gets scolded?"
Tao Yushu said with a smile: "The key is not my brother, but my mother. My father loves to save face for others, and he would never talk about my mother. But today my sister-in-law got angry, and my father has to express his opinion, right?"
In fact, even if Tao Yushu didn't tell Lin Chaoyang, his sister-in-law Zhao Li was usually silent in the Tao family and was like a doormat to her elder brother Tao Yucheng, but her status in the Tao family was comparable to Lin Chaoyang's "brother-in-law"
Much higher.
My eldest uncle was sent to Yunnan back then. If he hadn't married his eldest sister-in-law Zhao Li, he might never have been able to return to Yanjing in this life.
What's more, my sister-in-law Zhao Li willingly gave up her job in Yunnan for the sake of her family and followed her uncle to Yanjing. The conditions at home in Yunnan are not bad.
From the perspective of future generations, my sister-in-law must be considered a "love brain" no matter what.
While Tao Yushu was not paying attention, Lin Chaoyang found his uncle and handed him fifty yuan.
"What is this for?"
"The money for the TV ticket. This ticket is a favor from you. I don't care how you return it. Everyone will watch the TV after buying it. Yushu and I will also contribute some money."
To buy a TV set, Tao's father, the head of the family, had to spend a lot of money. Not counting that Tao Yumo was still in school, and his eldest brother-in-law contributed a TV ticket, so it was understandable that they should spend some money.
"Brother-in-law, you are so particular!" Tao Yucheng gave Lin Chaoyang a thumbs up.
"Don't tell Yushu."
The eldest brother-in-law understood very well that no man could use his own money to do things, which made him feel that Lin Chaoyang, his brother-in-law, was capable of handling things.
When Lin Chaoyang returned to the room and was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door.
It was Tao Yumo who knocked on the door. Tao Yushu asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'm looking for my brother-in-law!"
Looking for your brother-in-law?
Tao Yushu glanced at Lin Chaoyang, when did the relationship between you two become so good?
Lin Chaoyang returned her look: How could I know?
Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised by her sister-in-law's sudden change of attitude, but this girl has a habit of being soft-spoken, so her current attitude must be that she wants something from her.
"What's the matter?" Lin Chaoyang asked.
Tao Yumo looked at her with a bit of embarrassment. After all, her previous attitude towards Lin Chaoyang was not very good. She looked at her sister Tao Yushu and hesitated before saying: "Brother-in-law, are you familiar with the people from the May Fourth Literary Society?"
?”
"It's okay. I know a few students who often go to the library."
"The May Fourth Literary Society has a poetry symposium the day after tomorrow. It was held at the invitation of "Poetry Magazine". Can you tell them for me and let me participate?"
When Zhang Yaozhong and Liang Zuo came to see him a few days ago, he had actually heard them mention the poetry symposium, but since it was a symposium, how could a high school student participate?
Besides, this little girl has been rude since he came here. If she asks him for help now, does he have to agree?
Lin Chaoyang had a smile on his face, full of sincerity, "Oh, I can't help you with this."
"Brother-in-law~"
When Tao Yumo saw Lin Chaoyang rejecting him without mercy, she knew that he must have resented her previous attitude.
"uh-huh!"
Tao Yumo's tender show of weakness prompted her sister Tao Yushu to warn her, "Yu Mo, please go out first."
Tao Yumo glanced at Lin Chaoyang unwillingly and walked out of the room.
"Can you help with that poetry symposium?" Tao Yushu asked.
"It's hard to say. I don't know the specifics. I only know that it was organized by Poetry Magazine and the May Fourth Literary Society, and quite a few student unions attended." Lin Chaoyang said truthfully.
Tao Yushu thought for a moment and said: "This girl is soft-spoken. If you help her this time, her attitude towards you will definitely be much better in the future."
"It doesn't matter if you have an attitude or not. If you say yes, then I will help him ask."
Lin Chaoyang's statement made Tao Yushu very satisfied, but she still said: "We can't agree to her so easily..."
She rolled her big eyes and said, "I'll go out and give her a few words first, so that she won't have to worry about it in the future."
No matter in the workplace or in life, it is very common for others to ask you for help, but be careful not to agree too readily, otherwise people will thank you on their lips but take you for granted in their hearts.
If you can help, you have to make it difficult to help, and if you can't help, you should do your best to help. Of course, the premise is that you are willing to help this person.
Lin Chaoyang gave Tao Yushu a thumbs up, "High, really tall!"
Tao Yushu's face had a slightly smug look on it, but it quickly faded away as he went out, his expression serious.
"Now when I ask someone for help, I think it's your brother-in-law? Why didn't you have this attitude before?"
"Where do you think this symposium is going to be held? He can ask you to attend just by opening his mouth?"
"Be nicer in the future, do you hear me?"
"You can go to the symposium as a high school student? Let your brother-in-law ask for you first. Don't expect anything."
…
After some talk, Tao Yushu returned to the room and made a gesture to Lin Chaoyang with a relaxed and happy expression.
