I am lucky today, and I have the chance to witness the first meeting between you, the Bole and the Thousand-Li Horse."
County Magistrate Xiong also stood up and said with a laugh.
"Comrade Zhong Yuejin!"
Li Ying quickly walked to the door of the room and saw Zhong Yuejin standing inside.
At this time, he took off his coat, revealing a yellow sweater and lining underneath. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was of average height, about 1.7 meters. He was not handsome, but not ugly either. He looked like an ordinary male educated youth.
However, Li Ying had been looking forward to it for two months, and she didn't know how many layers of filters she had put on Zhong Yuejin in her heart.
So, when I saw him, I excitedly extended my hand and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Comrade Zhong Yuejin! Hello! I... I am the editor Li Ying who wrote to you, and also... I am the editor Li Ying who discovered your poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom"."
"Comrade Li Ying! Hello! Thank you very much for your appreciation and love of Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom.
Without you, I'm afraid this poem would have hardly been able to meet the people of the whole country so soon.
I read every word of the letter you wrote to me over and over again. It was so heartfelt and gave me great encouragement. "
Zhong Yuejin tried his best to present himself as an honest, sincere, confident and sunny young literary man.
"That letter is still too short, Comrade Zhong Yuejin. If I really write down what I want to say to you, it will probably be as long as 100,000 words!
Haha! Today I finally met you in person. It's unbelievable that you can write such beautiful and romantic poems at such a young age.
You still have such a long life ahead of you, and your literary career is still very long. We at the entire Poetry Magazine welcome your arrival very much, and we are looking forward to more and better works from you in the future..."
After Li Ying got into the mood, she started chatting and laughing with Zhong Yuejin.
Even County Magistrate Xiong, who was standing by, felt a little left out, but he also knew that this was a conversation between intellectuals.
Just at this time, Chief Editor Yan Chen also came up after completing the check-in procedures.
County Magistrate Xiong then began to chat with him cordially.
After waiting for so long, both Li Ying and editor-in-chief Yan Chen had a lot of words and questions they wanted to communicate with Zhong Yuejin.
We chatted for nearly an hour. It was already past lunch time, and a few of them stopped talking with a smile because their stomachs started to growl.
County Magistrate Xiong hosted a special meal for us at the small canteen of the county guesthouse.
However, when he returned to his room to rest after dinner, Li Yingcai slapped his head and said, "Oh no! How could I forget such an important thing! When I get to Baishan County, I must contact my cousins and ask them to come to the guesthouse to meet their idol, the great poet Zhong Yuejin!"
So she hurried to the front desk of the guesthouse to make a phone call. After several transfers, she was finally transferred to the headquarters of the 345th Regiment.
"Hello! I'm looking for Xu Xiaodong..."
This was the last contact number Xu Xiaodong left for his cousin Li Ying. In those days without mobile phones, it was really not easy to contact people.
Sometimes it takes several days to get in touch with each other, and many things are delayed due to poor communication.
Li Ying learned from the 345th Regiment that Xu Xiaodong and his men were not in the regiment, but they had immediately sent someone to notify them.
As soon as Xu Xiaodong and his team were rescued, they called the 345th Regiment to prevent them from thinking they were missing.
Xu Xiaodong also told them that if his cousin Li Ying called, they should immediately call Linjiagou to contact them.
so……
At the Linjiagou Production Brigade, Zhao Mengsheng and Huang Xiaoli once again went through hard training early in the morning. They threw away the sandbags on their feet, and their backs were soaked with sweat.
I finally made it to noon and can now take a good rest.
The phone in the village office rang urgently. Team leader Lin Shuisheng happened to be there. After answering the phone, he immediately shouted outside.
"Xu Xiaodong! Comrade Xu Xiaodong! Your phone call is from the 345th Regiment looking for you."
"Okay! I'll be right there."
Xu Xiaodong was just making fun of Zhao Mengsheng and Huang Xiaoli who were asking for trouble, then he stood up and hurried to the team headquarters to answer the phone.
"Hello……"
After answering the phone, Xu Xiaodong immediately shouted, "Really? Great! Good, good, good! Got it! We'll go back right away."
Then, Xu Xiaodong ran back to the second generation like a flash. He always had a calm expression, but this was the first time he was so excited.
"What's the matter? Brother Xiaodong, what's the good news? Look how excited you are."
Zhao Mengsheng laughed at him and said, "Be calm! Be composed! Don't you teach us to be calm when facing big things?"
"Haha! Old Zhao, now you have found an opportunity to educate Brother Xiaodong instead." Huang Xiaoli laughed happily.
Xu Xiaodong didn't bother to argue with them and shouted directly: "It's Comrade Zhong Yuejin! My cousin Li Ying has arrived at the Baishan County Guesthouse, and Comrade Zhong Yuejin is there. They just had an in-depth exchange for more than an hour!"
"Ah! Comrade Zhong Yuejin! Is it really him?"
The first person to shout was not someone else, but Chen Jing, the girl who usually looked the quietest.
Then it was Xu Xiaoyun's turn. She stood up immediately and said, "Quick! Isn't there another jeep? Let's go! Let's go back to Baishan County!"
"Yes! That jeep belongs to reporter Qian. Let's go! Let's go find reporter Qian! I think she would be happy to interview the famous poet Zhong Yuejin who is very popular all over the country."
