At the end of October, Cheng Yanqiu and his wife stayed in Luoyuan, while Yu Dong went to work at Jinyi alone.
Yu Dong has also been thinking about housing recently.
Of course, Luoyuan was very nice. Cheng Yanqiu and the others had many people waiting on them up and down the garden, but when they both went to work, taking care of the children became a problem.
Whether they ask elders to come over to help take care of the children or hire nannies to stay at home, the faculty and staff dormitories they live in now seem too small.
But Jin Yi's conditions are like this. The dormitory building they live in now was built a few years ago and is the best dormitory in the school.
Nowadays, the space in the school is relatively tight, and there is no way to build more dormitories for faculty and staff.
After thinking about it, Yu Dong decided to get a single-family house in the Deep Space Talent Apartment. From then on, he and Cheng Yanqiu would run between the apartment and the school every day, which was not very far anyway.
However, it will take some time before the Deep Space Talent Apartment is completed, so Yu Dong first needs to buy a house near Jinyi to make a transition.
…
As soon as Yu Dong's car arrived at the school, he was stopped by Uncle Zhou and others.
Uncle Zhou came closer with a smile and stretched his hand towards Yu Dong, "Teacher Yu, if you want to get in, you have to be sincere."
Yu Dong laughed and brought a few candy boxes to Uncle Zhou and others: "How many people are there in your communication room now?"
"Including me, there are sixteen. Now less than half of the security office is in our communication room."
When he heard that there were sixteen, Yu Dong simply got out of the car, counted sixteen boxes of candies from the trunk, and said, "Uncle Zhou, you have a prosperous official career now, and you have so many people under your control."
Uncle Zhou asked Xiao Fang and the others to take the candy box, and then pretended to rub his head, "Oh, Teacher Yu, it's not easy to be a grassroots leader. Although our Jinyi is not a big place, we have high safety level requirements. After all, it's inside the school."
With big writers and stars like you, there can't be any mistakes. Some time ago, Lao Li from the communication office of Jinling University came to me to discuss and learn. The security level of their school is not as high as ours. I told them that that is not what it should be.
Really? A Teacher Yu in our school is worth more than your entire school."
Although Uncle Zhou's words were somewhat funny, they did reveal the fact that Jinyi's security arrangements were originally higher than those of other schools.
In addition to these obvious things, there are also some invisible things arranged by the Deep Space Company.
"Those who are capable should work hard. Uncle, you are the backbone of our school's security department, so you should show more enthusiasm. Although Xiaofang and the others are young, they are not experienced enough, so they need you to guide them more."
Uncle Zhou was so excited by Yu Dong's praise that he laughed and said, "I see that you have so many candies in your trunk that they all need to be dispersed. It just so happens that the communication room is relatively free now, so I asked two people to go with you.
Let me give you some candy."
As he spoke, Uncle Zhou called to Xiao Fang and the others to follow the car into the school.
They entered the Government Affairs Building first, starting from the first floor, and went into offices one by one to hand out candies. They gave out candies to everyone they met, whether they were teachers or students, everyone they met had a share.
There was no shortage of candies. In addition to the car Yu Dong was riding in which was filled with candies, there was also a small truck behind which was also filled with candies.
Even with the help of Uncle Zhou and others, it took half a day to finish distributing the candies.
Uncle Zhou and the others were busy for a long time, but they were very happy. They had never seen such a big fight before giving birth to candy.
Although Uncle Zhou doesn’t know much about sugar, this candy box is heavy and beautifully packaged, so it’s not cheap at first glance.
They distributed more than a thousand copies, and there were still some left in the small truck. A copy of 20 yuan costs nearly 40,000 yuan. How can ordinary families be so busy?
When bidding farewell to Uncle Zhou and the others, Yu Dong took some candies out of the small truck and gave them each one.
…
Yu Dong turned around and went to the cafeteria to have a meal first, and then returned to the staff apartment. Yu Haiguo, Feng Changdi and other children were gathering downstairs to eat candies. The candies had just been given to them, and they didn't have time to have a cup of tea. After that, it was almost eaten.
As soon as he saw Yu Dong coming back, Yu Haiguo smiled and said, "Uncle Dong, this candy is so delicious."
Hearing what Yu Haiguo said, Yu Dong couldn't help laughing. If other children said this, he would probably think that the child was simply saying that the candy is delicious, but Yu Haiguo was different.
He said the candy is really delicious, but what he really meant was probably: Is there anything more?
Yu Dong spread his hands and said, "We don't have any today. Let's go to Luoyuan and eat again in a few days."
"Shall we go to Luoyuan to see our sister later?"
Yu Dong nodded: "Yes."
Feng Changdi suddenly said in a sweet voice beside him, "Uncle Dong, will you have more children in the future, okay?"
Before Bian Dong could react, Feng Changdi said again, "In this way, I can eat more candies."
Yu Dong was amused by this little guy and laughed: "Go back and tell your father to give you some younger brothers and sisters so that you can also eat sweets."
Hearing this, Feng Changdi nodded thoughtfully.
…
Not long after Yu Dong returned home, he heard noises coming from Feng Ming's house. Feng Changdi was kicked out by his father and ran away.
As the initiator, Yu Dong smiled and started his afternoon work.
He has been taking care of his baby at home these days, and has fallen behind a lot on courses and the writing center. He needs to make up for it as soon as possible.
The courses are easy to handle because there are not many classes in total. I will take one more class every week and make up for it in two or three weeks.
The key is the writing center. The writing center has just been established this semester. There are a lot of messy things. He can leave some things to others, but some things must be done by himself.
The writing class will start in early November, and the list of students has not yet been finalized.
The first writing class enrolled a total of twenty-six students. The members of the writing center had nine places, and all nine places were used up. This means that they still need to recruit seventeen students from various colleges and universities in Jinling.
After the news of the writing class was announced, as of October 15th, the writing center received a total of more than 3,200 applications, of which 866 were valid applications.
Yu Dong was not surprised at all that there were so many invalid applications, because many people just came to join in the fun and probably didn't even read the admissions introduction clearly.
Among the invalid applications, the most numerous ones are those submitted by non-Jinling local students.
Most people see this condition, but still apply with the intention of giving it a try.
There are also some formats that are incorrect. The writing center has announced the application format to the public, and the submitted application must follow the format, otherwise it will be considered an invalid application.
In addition, applicants must attach an original article of less than 5,000 words to the application form. Many invalid applications do not include an article.
In addition to those who did not attach an article, there were also people who attached not their own original articles but plagiarized other people's articles.
This type of plagiarized article usually undergoes some modifications, some minor and some major. Small modifications are easy to identify, but major modifications may not be obvious unless you are familiar with the original article.
Of course, there are also some people who regard the people in the writing center as fools and just copy the article without changing a word.
The most outrageous thing is that the writing center received a copy of "Back" by Zhu Ziqing.
Of course, this type of copied articles usually involves copying less popular niche articles.
In this era where plagiarism checking is very difficult, it is a great test of the reading capacity of everyone in the writing center. However, they all read a lot, and with so many people together, there are very few things that they have not read and are very exciting.
articles.
Even if there are fish like this that slip through the net, there is no need to be afraid, because the application form is just a preliminary screening. Even if you get through this step, there are still several hurdles to pass.
After identifying more than 800 valid applications, the writing center screened 60 applicants with high-quality articles.
The only remaining steps are re-examination and re-examination. Since all students recruited are local college students from Jinling, the re-examination and re-examination are very convenient.
After the re-examination, there were still thirty people left.
When it comes to the interview, these three people must bring their school certificates. On the one hand, no matter which school, students participating in writing classes need the support of the school. On the other hand, their identities must be verified to prevent any illegal activities.
Local students from Jinling sneaked in.
Yu Dong looked at the list of the thirty people who finally entered the re-examination, and Xu Zechen's name was indeed on the list.
Of course, Yu Dong was not surprised that Xu Zechen could make the final list. Xu Zechen was his student, and he knew his writing skills better than anyone else.
I have to say that Xu Zechen's learning ability is indeed very strong.
In the early days, Xu Zechen could only be regarded as a literary enthusiast with some research. Later, his literary knowledge became more and more solid, but he was still at the level of an ordinary literature student.
But since studying with Yu Dong, his writing level has skyrocketed.
He is also a student of Yu Dong, but Xu Zechen's progress during this period is much faster than that of Ruan Xiaohu.
Of course, this comparison is not appropriate. After all, Xu Zechen has a higher education and a more solid foundation. He had already shown some literary talent before he met Yu Dong.
Yu Dong directly took out a red pen and circled Xu Zechen's name. Since he was on the final list, he was equivalent to entering the writing class.
There are still twenty-nine people left, sixteen places.
Next, Yu Dong took the time to read through the articles of these twenty-nine people.
Not to mention, I really found some excellent articles for Yu Dong.
One of the novels impressed Yu Dong the most. The story is actually very simple. It is about four friends who have been together since childhood, eating, drinking, having fun and making jokes together every day.
Reading this novel will make people feel a strong sense of separation, the boredom of daily life, the sadness, struggle and swing of life, the difficulties and emptiness of people's hearts, and these things are mixed with a kind of fun.
Humor.
However, this applicant's style is not stable enough. In the novel of just a few thousand words, Yu Dong can actually see the shadows of several people, Wang Xiaobo, Han Dong, Gu Qian and Yu Dong himself.
Yu Dong looked at the author's name again, Zhao Changxi, a name that sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for the moment.
However, the style of the article and the names of two characters "Wang Kui" and "Zhang Liang" appearing in the novel reminded Yu Dong of a certain person.
Before Yu Dong was reborn, some people said that Jinling was the center of writing.
This is definitely an exaggeration, but there are indeed many writers in Jinling, and among the younger generation, Cao Kou is the leader.
Cao Kou's works are mainly short stories and short stories, and many of his novels contain two extremely common names: "Wang Kui" and "Zhang Liang".
The characters in Cao Kou's works are usually the most ordinary, small people from remote areas. These characters are wretched, but in Cao Kou's works they appear to be very upright and upright.
This sounds a bit like Wang Shuo, but Cao Kou and Wang Shuo are still very different, and this difference seems to be related to the place where the two grew up.
Yu Dong is not sure whether this Zhao Changxi is Cao Kou, but judging from this novel alone, he should enter the writing class.
Then Yu Dong picked up a pen and drew a triangle on Cao Kou's name. The triangle meant that as long as Cao Kou showed up and could bring the school's certification documents, he would be admitted.
After roughly identifying two students, Yu Dong circled a few more people, and those were the focus of observation.
…
"Steven, do you want to go to a movie today?"
In the Mars base located in Mangya, just after a scene ended, Lu Xi, one of the assistant directors, ran to Spielberg and asked him if he wanted to watch a movie.
Steven narrowed his eyes and asked, "What movie are you watching?"
""Infernal Affairs", produced by Deep Space Company, is released on the first day today."
Hearing that it was a movie about deep space, Spielberg became a little interested, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I still won't go. This is probably a Chinese movie. My Chinese is so bad that I can't watch it at all."
Understand."
Lu Xi smiled and said: "It's okay, "Infernal Affairs" is bilingual and has English letters, so you can definitely understand it."
"So good?" Spielberg was a little surprised.
"It's so good. I bought some tickets and am going to call other staff members together. The filming during this period is really hard and everyone needs a rest."
Spielberg pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Then let's take a day off tomorrow. Let's all have a good rest. There's no need to rush back tonight."
He felt that what Lu Xi said made sense. Everyone had been too tired recently, and he could clearly feel that everyone's state was not right in the past two days.
Although the Deep Space Company has tried its best to make the Mars base perfect, it is too remote after all, and the surroundings are deserted. Not to mention working every day, it is unbearable to stay here doing nothing for a while.
I just want to take advantage of this evening to go watch a movie and relax.
Seeing Spielberg nodding in agreement, Lu Xi shook his fist towards Matt Damon who was not far away. The latter immediately beamed and almost jumped up.
Chapter completed!
