Chapter 596 Demonstrating High Emotional Intelligence
Lin Lu in the yard pricked up his ears. When he heard that Lin Tang's book was out, he brushed off the wood chips on his body and came over.
I saw a lot of books on the table, picked up one and started reading.
"...Why is the author's name Erqing?" His expression became serious and something was wrong.
The fact that his daughter's admission letter was stolen left a shadow in his heart.
Gu Yingzhou guessed that Lin Lu had misunderstood and explained, "This is the pen name Tangtang chose herself."
This name was used by the provincial chemical factory in the name of Tangtang when donating supplies and medicines to the border defense. Later, by mistake, Tangtang used it as a pen name.
The anger on Lin Lu's face faded, and he said, "It would be much better to use your own name, why do you need a pen name?"
Who knows who the pen name is?
Li Xiuli defended her child and said, "Tangtang has his own considerations, so stop talking!"
Lin Lu was silent.
I wanted to refute but I had nothing to say.
Gu Yingzhou looked at the old couple bickering again and smiled helplessly.
"It's better to use your real name than a pen name."
Just then, Lin Zhicheng and the other four little ones came over.
Pick up a book, put your heads together, and read it carefully.
Except for Lin Zhicheng, the other three little ones don’t know many words.
Fortunately, there were pictures, and they enjoyed looking at them.
Lin Zhicheng had seen Lin Tang's rough draft of the painting, and his eyes lit up when he saw the paintings in this book.
"Really! It was really drawn by my auntie. My auntie is really amazing."
He raised his voice, full of disbelief.
Lin Zhixuan was sensitive to paintings and could recognize them naturally. His eyes were as bright as stars. "Auntie, you are amazing. I will learn from you."
He meant that he also wanted his paintings to appear in books.
Lin Zhicheng was quite confident in his younger brother and patted Lin Zhixuan's shoulder like a little adult.
"You can definitely do it. My aunt said your paintings are...spiritual."
"Although I don't understand what spiritual energy is, but... you are great. You will definitely be able to write a letter in the future. I can't say that a kid from our Lin family can't do it."
Lin Zhixuan nodded slowly with a look of being taught, "Yeah, I get it~"
Lin Fei shook her head and interrupted, "If you can't say no, then I can say it."
Lin Zhicheng: “…”
The adults didn't notice the children's quarrel with each other.
Gu Yingzhou brought a lot of books, and every member of the Lin family had one. Even Mu Sheng, who always only carpentered, put down his tools temporarily, took a book and sat down.
Those who can read read the stories, and those who cannot read look at the pictures.
Lin Lu narrowed his eyes and read the contents of the book word by word. The yard became quiet and everyone listened attentively.
The four little ones took out the small stools their grandfather had made for them and sat in a row.
He held his face and looked at Lin Lu, like a professional listener.
Lin Lu became more and more excited when watching it.
"There lived a group of animals in the forest: an eagle, a rabbit, a black bear, a tiger..."
"For many years, they lived in the forest. Suddenly one day, an eagle set its sights on the rabbits' territory and wanted to take it over. The rabbits, of course, didn't want to, so they rose up in resistance..."
There was no skill in Lin Lu's voice, only the vicissitudes of life accumulated over the years, telling the stories in the book.
Even Li Xiuli heard it.
It was clearly time to go to work, but the Lin family turned it into a book listening activity.
It was not until a familiar whistle was heard that the people in the yard were suddenly awakened.
"Oh, it's time to go to work, everyone hurry up." Li Xiuli said as she started packing up.
After quickly packing up the towel, kettle, etc., he prepared to walk towards the door.
Just as he was about to turn around, he caught sight of Gu Yingzhou and stopped in his tracks.
Before he could finish his words, Gu Yingzhou spoke first, "Aunt Li, I'm free this afternoon, so I'll go with you."
After saying that, he took the hoe from Li Xiuli's hand and followed Lin Lu who had already walked to the door.
He has a pair of long legs and walks like the wind.
In a moment, the man was beside Lin Lu.
Lin Lu turned her head to look at Gu Yingzhou, "Is everything really okay at your factory?"
"Work is important. Don't let these little things in the fields that anyone can do delay your main business." He said worriedly.
Gu Yingzhou shook his head and explained seriously: "It won't delay me. I've already dealt with most of the important things in the past two days. I'll just treat it as exercise."
Seeing that he looked calm, Lin Lu simply stopped worrying about it.
After all, Yingzhou is a man of measure.
"I plan to put a few copies of Tangtang's book in the library." He changed the subject.
Gu Yingzhou said casually: "Uncle Lin, you are really a successful person."
The tone was light and the words were pleasant to hear.
Lin Lu smiled on his dark face. "What kind of success is that? You intellectuals are much more successful than us who can only dig the ground."
Gu Yingzhou has always shown high emotional intelligence in front of the Lin family, and his words are very pleasant to the ear.
"That's not the case. Everyone has their own specializations, and intellectuals don't know everything. Uncle, don't underestimate yourself."
Lin Lu understood what was said, but Li Xiuli did not quite understand. She had no idea what "leaves have their specialties" and "the net is not thin" meant.
However, looking at the smile in the head of the family's eyes, she could guess that it was a good word, and she also grinned.
We talked all the way and soon arrived at the library.
Administrator Meng Mingyuan was about to lock the door, but when he saw Lin Lu and others, he stopped.
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Li, Comrade Gu, why are you here?" he asked in surprise.
Lin Lu smiled and handed over the book in her hand.
"I'm here to give you two books. Oh, that's not right, one book, a guide to raising pigs."
Meng Mingyuan took it in a daze.
I flipped through it and found it quite interesting.
"Okay, I'll register. Thank you, uncle."
Lin Lu waved her hand and said, "No need to thank me, it's all my duty."
After a pause, he continued, "It is imperative that a copy of my daughter's book be placed in the brigade library."
My daughter, do you want to publish a book?
Comrade Lin Tang?!
Meng Mingyuan was a little slow to react, so he opened the book and looked at the author's signature on the title page.
Second Youth?
Thinking of the name of his brigade, 'Shuangshan Brigade', he nodded in his heart, feeling that he understood.
It was hard to hide the admiration on his face.
"Comrade Lin Tang has published a book? Congratulations!"
Really amazing.
Meng Mingyuan had a quick mind and after thinking about it for a while, an idea came to his mind.
It seems that for them, earning royalties by writing is easier than earning work points by working in the fields. Why don’t they try it too?
When Lin Lu heard this, the smile on his face grew wider.
Thinking that these educated youth had a hard time, he kindly said, "If you have time, you can also write something and submit it."
"Whether it can be reported or not, it will be good for you anyway."
"My Tangtang said that writing is something that comes easily with practice."
"You may not have enough physical strength, but you have a lively mind. If you had royalties, your life would be easier."
Gu Yingzhou nodded lightly, supporting the future Master Taishan.
"Uncle Lin is right. You can give it a try. Xiangyang Newspaper is a good choice. The contact address is in the book you have in your hand."
If it were him, no matter what situation he was in, he would never leave himself with no other choice.
Submitting an article is simple and easy to do.
The light in Meng Mingyuan's eyes gradually brightened and his gaze became firmer.
"Okay, I'll think it over with the other educated youth comrades. Thank you."
He knew the good intentions of Lin Lu and others.
Who would say these things if they didn't mean well?
