Chapter 172 A visitor from the publishing house
Lu Weiguo's right arm fracture was considered mild, accompanied by some ligament damage. The doctor required at least two or three more months of rest.
So now Lu Weiguo has been living at home to recuperate.
He has nothing to do every day, so he thinks about urging his wife to exercise.
After Shi Tingyu went to work, he helped clean the house and wash clothes.
As for cooking, he wanted to, but Shi Tingyu didn't agree. When
cleaning, he can use the left hand to sweep the floor, and he can also use the left hand to wash clothes on the washboard. When wringing, put the clothes on the washboard and press hard, and the water will come down.
But cooking is not possible, cooking requires good coordination of both hands.
During this time, Han Tuan also came to see him. Seeing him rubbing clothes with a strong will despite his disability, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lu Weiguo didn't feel the other party's teasing at all, and just asked him what he was doing.
Han Tuan then remembered the purpose of his visit.
This time, he successfully brought Professor Chen and others back to the country, which was considered a meritorious service. He asked Lu Weiguo to rest and recuperate during this period of time, and he should be on the promotion list in September.
Lu Weiguo acted very calmly. Nothing could be said before the order came down.
After Han Tuan left, Lu Weiguo did not tell his wife about this news.
If he was not on the promotion list in September, he was afraid that his wife would take the blame for not being promoted on herself.
In a blink of an eye, it was mid-June, and the splint on Lu Weiguo's right arm had been removed.
As soon as the splint was removed, he couldn't sit still. If Shi Tingyu hadn't been watching, he might have flown into the sky.
It was a day off, and the two were bathing Li Jian when a little warrior came over and said someone was looking for Shi Tingyu at the door.
Shi Tingyu was a little surprised. It was impossible for her family to come over, and she didn't have many friends here, so who would come to see her?
"I'll go with you." Lu Weiguo wiped his hands and said.
The two let Li Jian stay in the basin first and went to the gate of the family compound.
From a distance, Shi Tingyu saw a man in his fifties, wearing a black Zhongshan suit, a pair of glasses, a pen in his pocket, and a briefcase in his hand, chatting with the young soldier at the door. From
time to time, military dependents and soldiers passed by the door and couldn't help but look at each other twice. People
who wear glasses these days always seem to be knowledgeable.
Shi Tingyu asked Lu Weiguo, "Do you know that man?"
Lu Weiguo shook his head and asked, "You don't know him either?"
Shi Tingyu really didn't know him.
When the two approached, the man with glasses glanced at them, attracted by their huge difference in appearance, and looked at them twice more, but there was a complete unfamiliarity in his eyes.
Shi Tingyu looked at the door and found that there were no strangers except some soldiers and their families who were in and out of the family compound. So she said to the man, "Hello, I am Shi Tingyu. Are you looking for me?"
The man was surprised for a moment and adjusted his glasses.
The little soldier at the door saw that the other party was stunned and reminded him, "This is Comrade Shi Tingyu you are looking for."
The man with glasses finally reacted. He smiled and stretched out his hands to Shi Tingyu, "Comrade Shi Tingyu, seeing is believing. Let me introduce myself. My name is Luo Shucheng, and I am the editor-in-chief of Beijing City Fine Arts Publishing House." Shi
Tingyu shook hands with the other party. She didn't expect that the person who came would be someone from Beijing City Fine Arts Publishing House.
After the two exchanged greetings, Shi Tingyu introduced her husband to Editor-in-Chief Luo.
After all, he is a person who has seen a lot of things. Although Editor-in-Chief Luo was shocked by Lu Weiguo's appearance, he did not show his timidity on the surface.
After reading Editor-in-Chief Luo's introduction letter and work permit, Shi Tingyu registered Editor-in-Chief Luo and took him home. After
the three of them left, those who heard the greetings between the two sides were surprised. Is Teacher Shi going to publish a new book again? Otherwise, why is the editor-in-chief of the publishing house here?
They thought that they hadn't heard about Teacher Shi's remittance list for a long time.
Editor-in-Chief Luo was in the camp family compound for the first time, and there was curiosity in his eyes.
Shi Tingyu asked, "How did Editor-in-Chief Luo have the time to come here?"
In fact, after knowing that the other party was the editor-in-chief of Jingshi Fine Arts Publishing House, Shi Tingyu roughly understood the other party's intention.
In March of this year, the publishing house sent a letter, and the words in the letter were earnest to let her continue to draw the "Loyal Dog" series of comics.
However, she wrote a letter to refuse because of her own considerations.
She was not going to continue drawing.
This time, Editor-in-Chief Luo came over, probably for this matter.
But Shi Tingyu didn't expect that the other party would send Editor-in-Chief Luo.
Sure enough, Editor-in-Chief Luo smiled and said, "I am also anxious. The last time I received a reply from Teacher Shi that she didn't want to continue creating, the editorial department was very anxious. So I came to see if Teacher Shi has any difficulties here."
Shi Tingyu smiled and didn't respond to this. She just said, "I'm fine here, no difficulties."
The three returned to the yard, and Li Jian was still half-lying in the basin obediently and comfortably.
Editor Luo's eyes lit up when he saw it, "Teacher Shi has a dog here, no wonder the story of "The Faithful Dog" is so exciting."
Li Jian's fur was wet at this time, and his legs were lying in the basin. He didn't look like the one in the comic strip, and Editor Luo didn't recognize him.
Shi Tingyu said, "This is our Li Jian. Both his parents are military dogs."
Editor Luo was even more interested in Li Jian.
Seeing that the other party was not afraid of dogs, Shi Tingyu was relieved. She said to Lu Weiguo, "Weiguo, you finish bathing Li Jian first. I will take Editor Luo to the main hall to sit for a while."
Unexpectedly, Editor Luo asked to stay and watch.
"After reading your "The Faithful Dog", I am very interested in dogs. I wonder if I can stay and watch it take a bath."
Shi Tingyu did not refuse, moved a chair over for him, and started to bathe Li Jian. Li
Jian was very well behaved when taking a bath.
When Shi Tingyu asked it to lift its feet, it lifted its feet. When Shi Tingyu asked it to lower its head, it lowered its head. When Shi Tingyu asked it to lie down, it lay down. It was incredibly obedient.
Editor-in-Chief Luo was amazed.
Li Jian saw that the other party looked like he had never seen the world, and he raised his head with pride.
When he washed Li Jian's disabled right front leg, Editor Luo was surprised, "Is it Zhuifeng?"
Li Jian was also very familiar with the name Zhuifeng, and he looked at Editor Luo and barked.
Shi Tingyu explained to him, "I created "The Loyal Dog" based on Li Jian. Li Jian was born with a disability and was taken away by us from the military dog base. However, his genes are very good. Even though he is disabled, he is no worse than those healthy dogs."
After wiping Li Jian's hair dry and Li Jian shook his body, Editor Luo saw Li Jian's original appearance.
The dog is very strong and powerful. Even though it has a disability, its aura is not affected at all. He does not doubt its ability at all.
If there is a bad guy in front of it, it can probably knock him down in one go.
At this time, Editor Luo admired Shi Tingyu's painting skills even more. Zhuifeng is simply a replica of Li Jian, almost the same.
He even saw that Li Jian's occasional movements can match Zhuifeng in "The Loyal Dog".
He said sincerely: "Teacher Shi, it's a pity not to continue creating with such good material."
