Chapter 97: I will convey your thoughts to Teacher Cheng
The postman brought Cheng Xuyuan not only the admission letter, but also other things.
For example, the benefits from the Chengnan District Cultural Center that Feng Laoer helped to send.
According to what Feng Laoer said in the letter, the New Year benefits at the Chengnan District Cultural Center this time are a bag of Fuqiang flour, a carton of apples, a bag of rice, and five kilograms of hairtail per person.
Feng Laoer specially found a friend who worked in the post and telecommunications bureau, packed all these things, and mailed them to Cheng Xuyuan.
Also sent along with the package were a few packs of Daoxiangcun snacks and a tweed coat.
According to Feng Laoer, the reason he had this woolen coat was that he was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala of the Yanjing Woolen Clothing Factory, and after the performance, he was given the coat as a souvenir.
As for why he was invited to participate, it was of course because of the sensation caused by his performances in "Eating Noodles" and "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor".
In the attached letter, Feng Laoer told Cheng Xuyuan with great regret that the Yanjing Watch Factory, which produced watches, did not invite him to the New Year's Eve party, otherwise they would have given Teacher Cheng a Yanjing watch as a souvenir.
Looking at Feng Laoer's letter, Cheng Xuyuan couldn't help but smile.
This Feng Laoer really knows what he lacks!
When he opened the package sent by Feng Laoer at home, he saw that the flour and rice were packed well. The five catties of hairtail fish were tied together with ropes and were also frozen hard, almost enough to be used as a sword.
Only the apples had some bumps and bruises during transportation, but that did not affect their consumption at all.
Wang Guilan's eyes lit up when she looked at the Fuqiang flour and rice.
In the countryside, although the production team would distribute some grain flour to every household during the Spring Festival, how could the flour ground by the villagers compare to the snow-white and delicate Fuqiang flour? Making dumplings with this flour would definitely be delicious.
But Cheng Xuyuan didn't have time to pay attention to the flour. He took out a neatly folded black woolen coat and said to Wang Guilan, "Mom, do you think my dad looks good in this?"
Wang Guilan looked at the woolen coat that she had only seen in movies before and said, "This coat will look good on anyone."
"Dayuan, just wear it if it's a gift from someone."
"It's just right. I'll prepare a feast for you in a couple of days. You'll look great in this."
Cheng Xuyuan handed the woolen coat to Wang Guilan without question and said, "Mom, let my dad wear this coat."
"I still have new clothes. They were made when I went to Beijing."
"When setting the table, my father is the focus, and I can't let anyone tell me that he's not good enough."
"Besides, the Yanjing Woolen Clothing Factory is in Yanjing. When I want to wear it, I can just go back and buy another one."
"I have money."
Although Cheng Xuyuan said so, Wang Guilan still refused to agree.
She said solemnly: "Dayuan, I know you are filial."
"But this time, you are the protagonist."
"What's the matter with your father wearing this woolen coat? Besides, even if you gave it to him, he might not wear it."
This simple mother came forward and hugged her son, indicating that he should keep it for himself. Cheng Xuyuan felt a warm and sad emotion surge in his heart, which made him burst into tears. He said stubbornly and firmly: "Mom, tell my dad that if he doesn't wear this dress, then I won't wear it either."
"Just leave him at home."
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan took out the Daoxiangcun snacks wrapped in paper.
Although it had not been opened yet, the fragrance had already come through the paper, making Cheng Ruomiao, who was standing next to her, swallow her saliva continuously.
Cheng Xuyuan immediately opened the big paper package and saw six small paper packages inside. Each paper package was pasted with a piece of red paper from Daoxiangcun.
Cheng Xuyuan opened a package casually and saw that it contained shaqima.
Cheng Ruomiao had no resistance at all to this sweet and fragrant snack.
She looked at her brother eagerly.
Cheng Xuyuan seemed to sense what Cheng Ruomiao was thinking, and quickly handed over two pieces of shaqima and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
As he spoke, he handed two pieces to Wang Guilan and said, "Mom, you can try some too."
Wang Guilan took the shaqima and casually put it in the paper bag and said, "It would be a waste if we eat this food from Yanjing by ourselves."
"It's just right for the New Year, let your grandpa and his family have a taste."
As she spoke, she glared at Cheng Ruomiao and said, "You only know how to eat. I'm telling you, after you eat these two pieces, you are not allowed to pester your brother for more!"
Cheng Ruomiao was shocked by these words. Although she was a little unhappy, she didn't dare to talk back to her mother.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled helplessly and continued to look through the things the postman brought him.
Well, there is another letter, signed by the editorial department of Yenching Literature and Art.
The writing seems a bit stiff! Although Cheng Xuyuan has not done much research on calligraphy, he still feels that the person who wrote the words seems to be doing it deliberately.
Although it is also regular script, this character looks a bit weird no matter how you look at it.
This isn't Zhang Dening's fault.
When I opened the envelope, I saw two sheets of manuscript paper inside. When I looked up, I saw the words "Hello, Teacher Xu Lingyun."
The address was respectful and everything seemed normal, but no matter how he looked at it, Cheng Xuyuan still felt that there was something wrong with the letter.
Teacher Xu Lingyun, shouldn't it be Teacher Cheng Xuyuan? It seems that there is nothing wrong with calling the teacher by his pen name.
"It is a great honor to write to you on behalf of the editorial department. Your book The Pursuit of Happyness has achieved a sensation..."
Looking at the introduction above, Cheng Xuyuan felt more and more awkward.
Generally speaking, when editors write letters, they will say who they are.
According to Zhang Dening's personality, he would definitely start by saying "I am Zhang Dening" and then say other things...
The letter is about six or seven hundred words, most of which introduces the achievements of "The Pursuit of Happyness".
He was also told that the radio station's short play "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" had already started recording and planned to be broadcast as soon as possible.
Finally, apart from wishing myself a happy life and a happy New Year, I just wanted to find out if there are any new works. Other than that, there is nothing else.
The signature is from the editorial department of Yenching Literature and Art.
This made Cheng Xuyuan, who wanted to see who wrote the letter by looking at the signature, speechless.
Are all editors in the editorial department so unique?
Zhang Dening sent a telegram to himself, making it look like a short essay.
Although this person wrote to me and told me everything, she just wouldn't tell me who she was.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about whether to reply, he suddenly heard a pig squealing outside the house.
He turned his head and looked outside, and saw Cheng Jiaxing and several young men from the Cheng family chasing and blocking the big fat pig in the pigsty. It seemed that they were preparing for the banquet.
Cheng Xuyuan did not try to stop this matter which had already been decided. He understood Cheng Jiaxing's feelings at the moment.
…
The postman who came this time not only brought a letter to Cheng Xuyuan, but also a letter to Chen Jiang.
This letter also comes from the editorial department of Yenching Literature and Art.
However, compared to Cheng Xuyuan's admission letter which attracted the attention of the entire village, only Chen Jiang himself paid more attention to this letter.
I carefully tore open the letter and saw a page of manuscript on it.
Although there were not many words, Chen Jiang was extremely excited.
He stared at every word above, as if he was afraid that he would miss them by accident.
It read: "Hello Comrade Chen Jiang, I am Zhang Dening, editor of Yenching Literature and Art. I am very happy to receive your letter."
"Thank you very much for your interest in our magazine and the novel The Pursuit of Happyness."
"We will definitely convey your thoughts on the novel to the author, Mr. Cheng Xuyuan..."
The author of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is Mr. Cheng Xuyuan!
When these words suddenly popped up in his mind, Chen Jiang was stunned!
What's going on? How come the author of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is Teacher Cheng Xuyuan!
He...shouldn't he be Xu Lingyun?
Xu Lingyun seems to be a pen name!
Because the protagonist's name is also Xu Lingyun.
The moment this thought came into his mind, Chen Jiang felt his heart sink.
"Comrade Chen Jiang, Xu Lingyun is the pen name of Teacher Cheng Xuyuan. Because Teacher Cheng left Yanjing and returned to his hometown recently, we are temporarily unable to ask him to reply to your letter."
"Don't worry, I will ask him to write back to you after he returns from his hometown."
"I feel that your proposal for a novel is ..."
…
Signed by Zhang Dening!
This short page of paper made Chen Jiang feel extremely uncomfortable.
He never imagined that the reply from the editor that he had been waiting for for a long time would have such a result.
I got a reply! Xu Lingyun is Cheng Xuyuan! The person I admired so much and even worshipped was actually Cheng Xuyuan.
If we say that at the beginning, it is possible that the names and surnames are the same, but what about later? How to explain the later?
Left Yanjing and returned to my hometown.
Cheng Xuyuan also left Yanjing and returned to his hometown!
Besides, he himself doesn’t believe it even though he is not the same person!
Looking at the two books placed on his bedside, Chen Jiang's heart twitched. Deep down in his heart, he felt very "regretful" about this! "Yenching Literature and Art"! There was Cheng Xuyuan's name! "Basic Mathematics Training", the author was still Cheng Xuyuan!
At the beginning, I bought the "Basic Mathematics Training" with great pressure. After all, no one can go against the college entrance examination.
But...but what about now?
His worry and intolerance seemed to increase a little.
"Old Chen, I heard that the Yanjing Editorial Department sent you a letter?" Liu Jiankai ran over and asked curiously.
Chen Jiang's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
"Let me see what the editor of Yanjing Literature and Art said." Liu Jiankai was not shy and directly grabbed the letter from Chen Jiang's hand.
"Don't take this letter..." Chen Jiang reacted and was about to stop him, but he found that his arms were limp and the envelope had been snatched away.
"What's the matter? The editor of Yenching Literature and Art sent me a letter and you won't let me read it. Are we still brothers?"
Liu Jiankai was a smart boy. He dodged and came to the other corner of the room, but his eyes quickly looked at the letter.
"Zhang Dening, the editor of Yanjing Literature and Art, wow, he's really polite."
As he spoke, Liu Jiankai continued to read: "Thank you very much for your love for our magazine and the novel "The Pursuit of Happiness". We will definitely convey your opinion on the novel to... to..."
"Who is it for? Read it out quickly!"
A voice came from outside the door, and as the door opened, four or five educated youth walked in.
The person who spoke was Ma Guangzhong.
For those of them who cannot go home for the New Year, the reply from the editorial department of Yenching Literature and Art is still very attractive.
Chen Jiang looked at his companions who came in one by one, his expression constantly changing.
He wanted to stop it, but he didn't know how.
Liu Jiankai, who was holding the manuscript paper, was also feeling strange at this moment. He also didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment.
Should I read it or continue reading it?
The first chapter is here today. Thank you for your support! (End of this chapter)
