"Today" sounds good and is a private publication, but in fact it is illegal. It is not even as good as the social magazine "Weiming Lake" founded by the May Fourth Literary Society. At least "Weiming Lake" has the endorsement of Yanda.
Of course, this is from the perspective of running a journal.
In the four months since its publication, "Today" has had a huge impact on Yanjing's cultural circles, especially among college students.
The excitement of Wang Xiaoping, Cha Jianying and Huang Ziping is understandable to Lin Chaoyang. For literary youths like them, having their works published in "Today" may, to some extent, be more valuable than having their works published in "People's Literature"
Make them excited and proud.
Because this is a trend among young people.
After Zhao Zhenkai's speech, Zha Jianying was the first to express support, followed by Wang Xiaoping and Huang Ziping.
Lin Chaoyang had noticed from the beginning that the wave of students who came today were almost all from the Morning Club of the Chinese Department.
The so-called Morning Club is a literary club spontaneously formed by students from the Chinese Department last year. However, unlike the official background of the May Fourth Literary Club, the Morning Club is loosely organized and is only a nominal organization.
But don’t underestimate others. Morning Society also has its own magazine, called "Morning", which was founded half a year earlier than "Weiming Lake".
The first issue of "Morning" is dedicated to poetry. It goes without saying that the members are all serious poetry lovers.
However, in recent months, with the development of the May Fourth Literary Society, it has continuously attracted members of the Morning Club, causing the development of the Morning Club to stagnate.
After everyone finished expressing their opinions, they unconsciously turned their attention to Lin Chaoyang, who had been silent.
"Unfortunately, I did write a novel before, but I just handed it over to Yanjing Literature and Art. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with "Today"."
Of course, Lin Chaoyang will not ask for manuscript fees directly. We are all adults and we should respect each other.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhenkai showed a somewhat disappointed expression on his face, but he still said: "That's a pity. But if you have a manuscript in the future, you can give priority to our "Today"."
"I will definitely do it if I have the chance." Lin Chaoyang smiled, his tone with the sincerity unique to migrant workers, but the content was perfunctory and easy to understand.
The atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Chen Jiangong joked a little, and Lin Chaoyang said hello to everyone and left.
Soon after he left, Zhao Zhenkai also left.
Zha Jianying looked unhappy and complained to Wang Xiaoping: "You are right. That Lin Chaoyang is so arrogant!"
"I think it's okay. Of course you have the right to decide who will give the manuscript to you. Didn't he say it before? He's not interested in poetry. It seems to be true."
"No one is forcing him. The key is his attitude, which is really irritating."
In fact, it is not difficult to understand Cha Jianying's psychology, just like those fans who chase stars in later generations.
Zhao Zhenkai is her idol in her heart. What an honor it is for an idol to come to them for an appointment?
Even if Lin Chaoyang refused in person, his attitude was a bit perfunctory. He really didn't know how to respect people at all!
"Xiao Cha, Chaoyang is different from us. His works have been verified by the public. Previously, Liu Xinwu asked for manuscripts for "October", but he didn't accept them."
Chen Jiangong invited Lin Chaoyang today purely because of Wang Xiaoping's request. She knew that Chen Jiangong and Lin Chaoyang had a good relationship.
""October"? What happened to "October"!"
Zha Jianying's tone was still indignant, but her voice became lower.
It is true that she feels sorry for her idol, but not to the point of completely losing her mind.
Chen Jiangong laughed and said, "Okay, you really can't blame Chaoyang for this."
Zha Jianying stopped talking, and Wang Xiaoping took her to prepare to eat in the cafeteria.
When he returned home, Lin Chaoyang heard a noise.
It was my sister-in-law who had just returned home and was caught by Tao Yushu, and the two sisters had a lively quarrel.
"Noise, noisy, noisy! I know noisy!"
The two grandsons were jumping up and down at home, and sisters Tao Yushu kept arguing. Mother Tao's head hurt from these careless quarrels.
At this time, Tao's father and his uncle had just gotten off work. The house was full of chaos. The three grown men looked at each other in tacit understanding and walked out of the house.
"Dad, please smoke a cigarette!"
Lin Chaoyang handed Tao a cigarette to his father, and his uncle also came up to ask for it.
While smoking, Lin Chaoyang suddenly thought of his brother-in-law who gave him the cigarette, and said, "I wonder how that guy Du Feng is doing in the south."
The Tao and Du families usually don't move around much, but in those days, a friend in need was a friend indeed, and their relationship was naturally good.
Lin Chaoyang suddenly mentioned Du Feng, and Tao Yucheng said with some regret: "I'm just 19."
Father Tao smoked, "No news is the best news."
This is true. Du Feng is just a performer who went to show condolences. No news is good news. If there is news, it can only be bad news.
A few grown men were chatting at the door of the unit, when another old comrade came downstairs.
"Professor Wu!"
The visitor was none other than Wu Zuxiang, whom Lin Chaoyang had gone to take classes with before. Lin Chaoyang greeted his old comrade and took the initiative to hand him a cigarette.
Several men tacitly lit up a cigarette again, and after a while, smoke filled the door of the unit.
By the time it was time to eat, calm had returned to the house.
After eating, he returned to the house. Tao Yushu took out a letter and said, "There is a letter from home."
Before the last Chinese New Year, Lin Erchun and his wife sent a large package of mountain goods to Tao's family. With this gift, Tao's father decided to go to Northeast China next year to meet his relatives. In return, he also sent a gift to Lin Erchun and his wife.
The gift was mailed around the time of the Lunar New Year, but it arrived after the Chinese New Year. Lin Erchun and his wife were overjoyed to receive the gift.
Of course, what they were happy about was not the gift, but the Tao family's attitude, and Lin Chaoyang also told the couple about Tao's father's decision in the letter.
In the past six months, Lin Erchun and his wife have been feeling uneasy.
Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu returned to the city. Of course the daughter-in-law had good intentions, but what about her family? What are the opinions of her parents and siblings? Will her son be able to adapt to Yanjing? Will he be offended by the Tao family?
In their usual letters, they never mentioned these topics for fear of making Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu anxious and angry. The letter and gift after the New Year completely put their minds at ease.
Today's letter is already the second one from home after the New Year. It still mentions the gift from Tao's father and the reaction of the team members. It seems that it was written by Zhang Guiqin.
Lin Chaoyang could even see the scene in Lin Chaoyang's mind of her talking nonsense to the women in the team. This was just a gift. If Tao's father took them back to Xiaoyangtun, Lin Chaoyang estimated that Comrade Zhang Guiqin would poke holes in the sky in Xiaoyangtun.
Make a hole.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile a little.
Lin Chaoyang was replying to the letter when Tao Yushu asked him: "What should I do with the money?"
Before the Chinese New Year, Tao Yushu mailed 100 yuan to Lin Erchun and his wife, but after the Chinese New Year, they mailed the money back again. They also said that Lin Chaoyang and his wife had just gotten married and had too many places to spend money. And they were in the countryside.
, there is no place to spend money even if you want to.
Lin Chaoyang sighed, "Let's exchange it for something for them when we go back. If you give them postage money, they definitely won't accept it. If you exchange it for something, they won't be willing to throw it away."
Tao Yushu showed a knowing smile. Just like she knew her own parents, Lin Chaoyang also knew her own parents.
"good."
When he went to work the next day, Lin Chaoyang did not go to class and stayed in the library.
During lunch, Lin Chaoyang asked Hu Wenqiong to go to the cafeteria first while he watched at the front desk.
Hu Wenqiong and Du Rong went to the cafeteria together. After eating, they were about to go back to the library. When they walked to the door of the cafeteria, they saw several students stacking coal.
These days it is common for students to participate in labor at school. The two walked past the students and a conversation fell into their ears.
"Hey, did you really go to the library to see Xu Lingjun? What does he look like?"
"A pretty ordinary guy, nothing surprising."
Curiosity drove Du Rong to stop. Library? Xu Lingjun?
By the way, she grabbed Hu Wenqiong who was about to leave. Hu Wenqiong had not noticed the conversation between the two students just now and was confused about what it meant.
At this time, I heard the two students talking again.
Chapter completed!
