If you don’t sow the awns, it will be useless to sow them again.
Yu Dong came home from the office after being soaked in the rain. He glanced at the calendar hanging at the door, June 5th, Ear Grain.
When he came out of the government building, he saw that the sky was overcast and he thought it might rain, so he speeded up his pace for fear of encountering heavy rain while walking on the road. He still remembered the heavy rain a few years ago.
It's just that he was really unlucky. He was about to reach home, but with sixty or seventy meters to go, heavy rain came, giving him a chill.
Cheng Yanqiu was cooking in the kitchen when he heard the door open and walked out quickly.
Seeing that Yu Dong's hair was completely wet, she quickly went to find a towel.
"I heard it was raining heavily outside, and I was wondering if you would be in trouble. I actually expected it." She wiped Yu Dong's hair and said with a smile, "Do you have a physique that attracts rain?
ah."
Yu Dong lowered his head and asked her to wipe the water, "I have a physique that doesn't apply to other people. I am recruiting you specifically."
He sniffed again, then laughed, "Are you still determined to make braised pork again?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yanqiu stopped wiping the water and put the towel in Yu Dong's arms, "I just said that the braised pork I made yesterday was not that delicious. Sure enough, the secret was exposed, right?"
Yu Dong took a towel and wiped himself with water, "I made a mistake, I made a mistake, but just from the smell, I knew that today's pot of braised pork would be better than yesterday's pot."
Cheng Yanqiu glanced at Yu Dong and turned back to the kitchen: "I'll know in a moment whether it tastes good or not."
…
Yu Dong's nose was right, and Cheng Yanqiu's braised pork made great progress today.
Today is Wednesday, and the couple has no classes in the afternoon. After dinner, the two of them slumped on their chairs. You looked at me and I looked at you, both waiting for the other to wash the dishes.
In the struggle between eyes, Yu Dong quickly lost the battle and consciously got up to wash the dishes.
After washing the dishes, the couple sat on the sofa and watched TV with a cup of tea.
The sound of rain outside gradually became quieter, but it was still pouring down, with no intention of stopping.
The pleasant TV time passed quickly. Yu Dong went to the study to write, while Cheng Yanqiu ran to sort out the music scores.
At about three o'clock, Yu Dong was a little tired from writing and was stretching his arms when he suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside.
Cheng Yanqiu was close and ran to open the door.
"Brother Mo Yan?"
Cheng Yanqiu's surprised voice came. Yu Dong frowned and stood up. When he left the study, he saw Mo Yan standing at the door.
"My brothers and sisters are at home." Mo Yan raised the things in his hands: "I brought some small gifts."
"You're right here, why don't you bring any gifts?" Cheng Yanqiu took the gift and turned to call Yu Dong, but saw that Yu Dong had already walked over, so he smiled and said: "Yu Dong, look, Brother Mo Yan is here and he brought gifts."
."
Yu Dong said with a smile: "Just bring it with you. How can you go to someone's home and not bring a gift?"
Cheng Yanqiu rolled her eyes at her husband, then smiled and said to Mo Yan: "Brother Mo Yan, please stop standing outside. Come inside and sit down. I'll make you a cup of tea."
Mo Yan leaned the umbrella against the door and rubbed the soles of his feet on the ground before entering the house.
Seeing his actions, Yu Dong smiled and shook his head, "You are so picky."
He caught a glimpse of two identical gifts on the corridor and asked, "You haven't gone to Yu Hua and the others yet?"
"No, I came to see you first."
Yu Dong nodded and invited him to sit on the sofa. "Why did you come so suddenly without notifying me in advance? You are lucky too. I have no class today, otherwise you would have missed the opportunity?"
Mo Yan showed an honest smile: "If I can't see you, I can go to Bi Feiyu. If I can't see Bi Feiyu, I can also go to Yu Hua. Yu Hua is a big idler, and it is unlikely that I can find him. If it is true,
You can’t even see..."
At this point, he sighed, "I won't be able to see you then. I'll see you next time."
Feeling his emotional loss, Yu Dong asked strangely: "What's going on with you? Why are you so sad? Are you scolded by those people?"
"I changed my job."
Cheng Yanqiu, who had just made tea, paused for a moment, then gently placed the tea cup on the coffee table, "Drink tea, Brother Mo Yan."
"thanks, thanks."
Yu Dong was a little surprised on the side. He knew that Mo Yan would leave the army because of this incident, but it didn't seem to be so soon. He couldn't remember the specific time, but it should be a year or two after the publication of "Big Breasts and Wide Buttocks".
It seems likely that Mo Yan's change of career has come ahead of schedule because the scolding war has taken on a life of its own and has become more intense.
"When did it happen? Where to go next?" Yu Dong asked.
Mo Yan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "The application report I wrote the day before yesterday was approved by the leader in the afternoon. Then I thought about it and took advantage of this time to come to Jinling. As for the next step, the TV drama department of Rongcheng TV Station happened to be short of vacancies.
Man, I’m going to be a screenwriter.”
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows. It was not just the time that changed, but also the unit he changed his job to. Yu Dong remembered that after Mo Yan changed his job, he went to the Procuratorate Daily, but now it has become Chengdu TV Station.
If Mo Yan really changed his career and went to the Procuratorate Daily, Yu Dong wouldn't say anything. Now that he heard that he went to Chengdu TV Station, Yu Dong felt that he might as well just go to work.
To become a full-time writer, Deep Space Company will pave the way for him, and he can also be a writer-in-residence at Jinyi University. This gives him a double guarantee, and his development prospects are also very good.
It's just that Yu Dong didn't mention this matter in a hurry. On the one hand, he was not the principal, so directly inviting Mo Yan would be overstepping his authority. On the other hand, he hadn't gone to the Chengdu TV station yet and didn't know the specific situation. It would be inappropriate to ask him to come over now.
It may not be a good time.
"Then don't rush there, stay in Jinling for a while first...Rongcheng TV station didn't tell you to report now, right?"
Mo Yan shook his head: "That's not true, there is still some time. It's just that it's work after all, so we can't delay for too long."
"Well, just wait for now. You can decide on your own about checking in." After thinking about it, Yu Dong picked up the phone again and dialed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mo Yan saw him on the phone and asked in surprise, "Who are you calling?"
Yu Dong raised his hand to signal Mo Yan to stop talking. Then the phone was connected and he said to the phone: "Lao Bi, Mo Yan is here. Go and call Yu Hua up and come to my house together."
Then he hung up the phone.
Mo Yan looked at him, dumbfounded: "It's so close, why do you still need to call?"
"Too lazy to run."
After a while.
Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu came over cursing.
"If you're on the phone so close, why don't you just yell?" Bi Feiyu said.
Yu Hua said, "Why should he run to find us just a few steps away when he yells? With the advancement of technology, people are becoming lazier and lazier."
Seeing Mo Yan, Yu Hua said again: "Guan Moye, why are you here?"
Mo Yan chuckled: "I can't come?"
"I can come, but I don't know how to call in advance. You see, the person is outside the official. It's a long way to make a call."
Hearing "Yu Da Yuan Wai", Yu Dong couldn't help rolling his eyes. These two guys always like to give people nicknames, and they have the same personality as Feng Ming and others.
As for Yu Dong's nickname as a senior official, it was simple. They used this nickname to mock Yu Dong because he had a lot of money.
Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu sat down and subconsciously took out cigarettes from their pockets. At this time, Cheng Yanqiu happened to make two cups of tea, and the two of them put the cigarettes back with some embarrassment.
Cheng Yanqiu noticed their actions and said with a smile: "You just smoke, it doesn't matter."
"I'm so sorry." Bi Feiyu said he was sorry, but he had already taken out the cigarette and handed one to Mo Yan and Yu Hua.
Cheng Yanqiu waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay. Brother Mo Yan just happened to be here today. I'll go out to get some food and eat at home tonight."
Yu Hua nodded, "Let Chen Hong come with you."
"No, that little guy from Haiguo is enough for my sister-in-law. I can do it alone."
Yu Dong looked outside and saw that it was still raining, so he said: "You go and play with your sister-in-law and sea fruit. We will go out to eat in the evening. It is not easy for Mo Yan to come here once. I called my senior brother too, and there are more people."
"
Cheng Yanqiu saw that it was indeed getting late, and it was indeed a bit late to start preparing meals, so he nodded and said "Excuse me" and went to find Chen Hong.
After Cheng Yanqiu left, Yu Hua said to Mo Yan: "Look at you, you came in a hurry and caught us off guard. Fortunately, Yu is a senior official, otherwise it would be really difficult to arrange the meal in the evening. By the way,
Why did you come here without saying a word this time? Is it because someone has been scolding you during this time and you are in a bad mood? Come here to relax? "
Mo Yan puffed on his cigarette and said nothing. Yu Dong helped and said, "He has changed his career."
"Change of career?"
Bi Feiyu and Yu Hua were both stunned.
"Is the matter so serious?" Yu Hua asked.
Mo Yan smiled and said, "I applied myself."
Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu looked at each other. Although Mo Yan explained that he applied for it himself, they could guess the general situation. He must have been forced to apply for a job transfer due to pressure.
"Then where will you change your career? Should you stay in Yanjing or go somewhere else?" Bi Feiyu asked.
"Go to the TV drama department of Chengdu TV Station."
Bi Feiyu slapped his thigh: "Then why are you going? Why don't you just resign and come to our school to be a writer-in-residence. With your qualifications, the salary will definitely not be bad. Old Wu will definitely agree to this. If you are willing, come back
I’ll just tell Old Wu.”
Mo Yan shook his head, "It's better to say goodbye. Rongcheng TV station is pretty good too."
"I don't see what's good about it. If you come to Jinyi..."
Bi Feiyu wanted to continue talking, but Yu Dong waved his hand, "Old Bi, let's not talk about this for now. I made an agreement with Mo Yan to let him play in Jinling for a while first, and we will talk about the rest later."
After hearing what Yu Dong said, Bi Feiyu stopped talking and nodded: "Okay, let's have some fun here during this period. Although Yu Dong and I are busy, Yu Hua is more leisurely. Usually we
When you are busy, you two can go shopping together."
Yu Hua puffed out smoke and leaned to the side. It seemed that he had some objections to Bi Feiyu's words.
He looked at Mo Yan and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's established or not. When I resigned, a lot of people tried to persuade me, saying that I would regret it. After all this time, I don't regret it at all.
"
Mo Yan remained silent. What he was thinking about now was not just the issue of staffing. The key was that many people who scolded him put him into the same group as Yu Dong and others, so he had some concerns about the proposal of coming to Jinyi.
As for staffing, in the past two years of economic opening up, everyone has become less and less concerned about staffing.
If we push forward a few years, it would be impossible for Bi Feiyu to say what he just said. At that time, persuading a writer to leave the establishment would really offend people.
Mo Yan and the three of them were chatting here, while Yu Dong picked up the phone and started calling Su Tong and others one by one, telling them about having dinner together in the evening.
Not long after the phone call was made, before five o'clock, Su Tong skipped work and came to Yu Dong's house.
As soon as he walked in and before he spoke, three cigarettes were handed to him, and he accepted them all without any courtesy at all.
Sitting down at the coffee table, Su Tong first lit a cigarette, then looked at Mo Yan with a smile, "Have you changed careers?"
Before Mo Yan spoke, Yu Hua asked in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Guess."
"Is he so awesome?"
"It's nothing special. Mo Yan must have arrived suddenly without saying hello in advance, right?"
"How did you know?"
"Isn't this nonsense? If I had said hello in advance, why would Yu Dong only call me now to talk about dinner?" Su Tong curled his lips and continued: "Since it is a sudden visit, something must have happened.
. Considering the recent situation, the possibility of changing jobs is very high. Of course, I am not sure, but your reaction proves that I am right."
Mo Yan nodded and said, "Your guess is indeed correct."
"Then where will you work after changing your career?" Su Tong asked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the third time Mo Yan has been asked this question today, and he does not want to answer it again, so Yu Hua does it for him and explains the situation again.
Hearing that he was going to Chengdu TV station, Su Tong raised his eyebrows: "You are in exile, you have come so far."
Mo Yan pursed his lips, "Why do I feel that all of you are gloating about others' misfortunes, especially you, Su Tong, who poked my lungs when you came up? What's wrong with this Chengdu TV station, why is it that you are exiled? I will definitely kill you this way later.
Tell the leaders of Chengdu TV station the truth and let them know how crazy you, the editor-in-chief of "Zhongshan", really is."
"Okay, okay, very good. You Mo Yan went to Chengdu TV station, which is a big step in your life. You will definitely have a bright future in the future. So you are satisfied, right?"
After saying this, Mo Yan stopped talking at all and just smoked.
Yu Hua smiled and said, "Su Tong, I just admire your eccentric energy."
Su Tong waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Mo Yan, since you have changed jobs, don't rush to report. Let's play in Jinling for a while. When you have nothing to do, you can go to our club to have fun. The rest of us
Among people, Yu Hua is the most laid-back. You can ask him to be your guide and take you around Jinling."
Yu Hua stopped talking now and followed Mo Yan to smoke quietly.
…
That night, Yu Dong invited them to dinner.
The next day, Bi Feiyu was the host and invited Mo Yan to dinner.
On the third day, Yu Hua served as host and invited Mo Yan to dinner.
On the fourth day, Hu Changqing hosted Mo Yan and invited him to dinner.
On the fifth day, Zhang Xian acted as host...
Mo Yan spent the first week in Jinling eating and drinking. In the end, he was afraid of eating. He said that his stomach couldn't bear it and he had to eat light food for a few days.
Hearing that he wanted to eat something light, Yu Hua took him to the vegetable garden next to the single dormitory to steal cucumbers to eat. In just a few days, all the melons and grandchildren in the vegetable garden were harmed by them.
Fu Jing and Chen Hong wanted to fry cucumbers, but they searched for a long time at the melon stand and found nothing.
Later, Bi Feiyu even created a saying for this purpose.
Cucumbers in the cucumber garden—cannot see the sun tomorrow.
After destroying the cucumbers in the cucumber garden, the two "big villains" Yu Hua and Mo Yan did not stop, and went to the suburbs to find ponds and ditches to fish. When they were thirsty and tired, they looked for watermelons nearby to eat.
After all, they are both celebrities. They are too embarrassed to steal melons in broad daylight. They all buy them with money. Sometimes when other melon farmers generously give them to eat, they will accept them shamelessly, but when leaving, they will give away the catch of the day.
People.
Of course, with the fishing skills of these two people, they naturally didn’t catch much fish.
Sometimes there was really no fish to be caught, so the two of them would shamelessly tell a story and count it as melon money.
As for Yu Dong and others, they each have their own affairs.
Yu Dong usually has to teach students, and he is still writing his novel about "escape" recently, so his time is very tight.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June, and it had been almost a month since Mo Yan arrived in Jinling.
On June 28th, Mo Yan was really embarrassed to have fun and told Yu Dong and others that he wanted to leave.
He and Yu Hua arrived at Yu Dong's office.
As soon as he entered the office, Yu Hua said, "Mo Yan said he was leaving."
"I've been here for almost a month, and it would be outrageous to stay any longer. I have to leave," Mo Yan said.
Yu Dong was writing a novel. When he saw them coming, he put down his pen and asked, "Is the TV station urging you?"
Mo Yan shook his head: "That's not true."
"Then are you tired of playing in Jinling?"
Mo Yan shook his head again: "That's not the case. Let's not talk about it. I'm just playing around, and I feel a little bit happy and unwilling to miss Shu."
Yu Dong laughed and said, "Then why are you leaving in a hurry? Let's play for a few more days. In half a month, in mid-July, we will also go to Chengdu to attend the Galaxy Awards Ceremony, and you just happen to be with us."
Mo Yan turned to look at Yu Hua: "Are you going too?"
Yu Hua nodded: "Ang, I'll go too."
"You're not a science fiction author, so what are you doing?"
Yu Hua said confidently: "Go and join in the fun."
Mo Yan was speechless for a while, but this proposal made him a little excited.
Anyway, we have been playing for a month, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with playing for another half month. Then I will go to Chengdu with them and have a companion.
Finally, after a brief mental struggle, Mo Yan nodded: "That's okay."
…
Mo Yan was having fun in Jinling, but Fang Yanwu was suffering.
Because he didn't wait for Yu Dong's response.
Could it be that Yu Dong would not respond?
Afraid? It shouldn’t be possible. How could someone like Yu Dong be afraid?
He punched out without any feedback, which made Fang Yanwu very uncomfortable.
The only good news during this period is that Mo Yan is no longer in the army, which can be regarded as a staged victory for their group.
I believe Mo Yan must be feeling very uncomfortable now.
Fang Yanwu was staring at the unfinished painting on the table at home, wondering what he was thinking, when suddenly the phone rang.
He picked up the phone: "Hello?"
Li Youxue's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Teacher Fang, Yu Dong responded."
Fang Yanwu's eyes lit up, as if he had heard great news, and he quickly asked: "Where was it sent?"
"Published in "Journal of Jiangcheng University."
"Journal of Jiangcheng University?" Fang Yanwu frowned, "This is a bit difficult."
"It's okay, I'll give you one now."
"Thank you very much."
Not long after, Li Youxue brought a copy of "Journal of Jiangcheng University" to Fang Yanwu.
After taking the "Journal of Jiangcheng University", Fang Yanwu read it excitedly, but after reading it for a while, he frowned.
It's not because Yu Dong scolded him too harshly, but because Yu Dong didn't mention him at all in this paper.
The beginning of the paper is like this.
[Mr. He Guoduan published an article "Literature and Art in Praise of Revolutionary Violence, Patriotism and Internationalism" in the second issue of "Journal of Jiangcheng University" in 1996. In connection with the current literary and artistic creation practice, he severely criticized Mo Yan's novel "Big Breasts and Wide Buttocks"
It is an "almost reactionary work". This kind of criticism has been rare in recent years. However, as a rigid concept and method that was once widely popular, it is still quite harmful if not criticized, so it is specially analyzed.
...]
The purpose of this paper is very clear, which is to counterattack and criticize He Guoduan's paper that labeled Mo Yan as a "reactionary".
The following content is also focused on this topic, refuting He Guoduan's papers one by one.
And every objection is well-founded.
Of course, the main theme of this paper is to criticize this kind of criticism method of literary criticism.
