Back to 80: My Literary Life

He and Lu Yao took the train back to Xijing. The next day at work, Fang Minghua came to President Huang's office to report to him about his trip to Yanjing.

Of course, the more important purpose is to reimburse the money spent to treat Li Baocun and Yu Shan to dinner, and to reimburse the gifts bought for visiting Shi Tiiesheng.

Forget about the tickets and boat rental fees for going shopping with Wang Anyi and Yu Shan, it didn't cost much anyway, just treat it as a private treat.

President Huang was very satisfied with the results of his Yanjing delegation. He said:

"Although Wang Anyi and Shi Tiiesheng are not comparable to the famous writers in the literary world, they are young, and youth is their greatest asset! I think they will shine in the literary world in the future! Xiaofang, this is the way, Duohe These young writers communicate.”

clear.

Isn't it because these people are potential stocks in your eyes?

Establishing a good personal relationship will make it easy to request any manuscripts.

"President, I want to take a leave and go to Western University. Shi Tiesheng asked me to deliver a package to a friend of his from Western University." Fang Minghua took the opportunity to ask for leave.

"Go on, it's hard for you to go to Yanjing. Let me tell you, Editor Zhang, to give you two days off!"

Very good!

President Huang, I really love you!

Fang Minghua was just about to say thank you when he suddenly heard President Huang say again: "Xiao Fang, are you in love with a girl? I heard she is a female soldier?"

President Huang, when did you become so nosy?

"Xiao Fang, that's a good thing. During the vacation, I want to meet that girl, this gay guy. You have to take the initiative, huh?!"

Your concern is so great

Fang Minghua finished his meal in the cafeteria at noon, returned to the work dormitory to pack his things, and was thinking about when to ask Song Tangtang out. Unexpectedly, the girl came by herself.

"Minghua!"

A crisp voice sounded in the yard. As soon as Fang Minghua raised his head, he saw the girl standing pretty in the yard through the half-open door.

Today she was not wearing a military uniform, but was wearing a T-shirt and very fashionable khaki corduroy bell-bottom pants.

Fortunately, the bell mouth of the trouser legs is not as exaggerated as Zhao Hongjun's. It almost covers the upper of the shoes and can be used to sweep the floor.

Flared pants are a type of trousers that look good on long legs. They can be tightened up and loosened down to outline the curves of a pair of long legs.

Seeing Fang Minghua staring at her legs, the girl's pretty face turned a little red, but she still walked into the room calmly.

"Does it look good?"

"Quite good looking."

"My aunt sent this to me from Pengcheng, saying it was imported from Xiangjiang.

It really has a Hong Kong flavor.

"Tangtang, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, come with me to Western University." Fang Minghua changed the subject.

"Are you going to Xida to see your sister?" Song Tangtang asked.

"No, I'm carrying something for a friend." Fang Minghua told the whole story.

"Okay. Let's go by bike!" The girl agreed immediately.

Fang Minghua discovered that Song Tangtang particularly liked riding bicycles.

Now that he had decided, Fang Minghua didn't hesitate, got on his 28-meter pole, took the girl out of the unit, and rode north along the street.

On the way, Fang Minghua told Song Tangtang about going to Yanjing to award awards while riding his bike. After hearing this, the girl asked, "Minghua, when will you get the Mao Dun Award?"

"This is a bit difficult."

"I think you will!" The two of them were chatting and laughing as they walked along Huancheng South Road and finally turned into Taibai South Road. They saw a group of college students lining up holding brooms, shovels and the like, walking on the sidewalk.

As soon as Fang Minghua passed by on his bicycle, he heard a familiar girl's voice.

"elder brother."

When he turned around, he saw that it was his sister Fang Mingli, holding a broom and walking in the queue. She hadn't noticed just now.

Fang Minghua stopped the car and asked his sister, "What are you doing?"

"Five things to say, four things to beautify and three things to love, let's clean up by the moat." Fang Mingli replied.

The "Five Lectures, Four Beauties and Three Loves" campaign was a nationwide spiritual civilization construction activity carried out across the country in the early 1980s. Even their magazine offices went out to clean the streets.

The effect is pretty good, at least the streets look a little tidier.

Fang Mingli looked at Song Tangtang who jumped off the back seat of the bicycle: "Who is she?"

Without waiting for Fang Minghua to explain, Song Tangtang said openly, "Are you sister Mingli? My name is Song Tangtang, and I am your brother's friend."

Song Tangtang? Brother's friend?

Fang Mingli's eyes rolled around the two of them a few times, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she called out affectionately: "Hello, Sister Tangtang, where are you going?"

"I'm going to see your teacher Chen Ximi from the Department of Mathematics. I'm going to Yanjing this time, and her friend brought her something."

"Teacher Chen, I know her dormitory, I will take you there." Fang Mingli ran two steps to follow the team and handed the broom to her classmates, and then the three of them walked towards the school together.

Fang Minghua met Chen Ximi on the third floor of the school's single staff dormitory.

She is a short tall girl with a round face and short ear-length hair. She is a very beautiful girl, but she walks with a slight limp.

After Fang Mingli introduced each other, Fang Minghua took out the package: "Teacher Chen, this is the package that Brother Shi asked me to give to you."

"Ah?!" Chen Ximi looked surprised and asked quickly: "How is his health now?"

"The condition is quite good. Lu Yao and I met him in Ditan Park and chatted a lot. Brother Shi has a cheerful personality and is quite talkative." Fang Minghua said.

"He said he just likes to sit at the altar of earth. Please come in and sit, and I will pour you water." Chen Ximi greeted warmly.

"No, thank you." Fang Minghua declined: "Teacher Chen, I will often go to Yanjing on business trips in the future. If you need to carry something to Brother Shi, I can help you bring it there. You can just give it to my sister."

"Thank you very much."

The three of them said goodbye and went downstairs. Song Tangtang suddenly said: "Minghua, you brothers and sisters will talk first. I'll go see if my cousin is here."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you at the school gate later."

"OK."

After Song Tangtang left, Fang Mingli asked curiously: "Who is Sister Tangtang's cousin? Is she also studying at Western University?"

"That's Li Li from your literary club."

ah? !

The girl looked at her brother with wide eyes.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"No, it's nothing. Brother, tell me honestly, are you and Sister Tangtang in a relationship? Don't worry, I won't tell my mother."

"Yes." Fang Minghua admitted.

"Hey, I thought you and Li Li were..."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing." Fang Minghua interrupted her: "Little sister, what do you think of Tangtang?"

"Well, she's quite beautiful. She looks elegant and elegant. She would be great to be my sister-in-law!"

"That's good. We've just started talking now. Don't tell mom about this. Her mouth will probably be known to all the family members tomorrow.

"I understand. When the time comes, you can take Sister Tangtang home directly and give her a surprise!"

The brother and sister chatted for a while, and Fang Mingli was about to go back to the dormitory. Fang Minghua warned her sister a few more words: "There has been a bit of chaos in society recently, so please don't run outside!"

"Have you said this hundreds of times? Don't worry, I basically stay at school and usually don't go out!"

That's pretty much it.

Today’s university campus is still a pure land.

After Fang Minghua separated from his sister, he rode his bicycle out of the school gate and stood on the opposite side of the street waiting.

Not long after, Song Tangtang also came out and walked across the street to him.

"Have you met your cousin?" Fang Minghua asked

"Well, you also know my cousin." Song Tangtang said suddenly.

"Is it Li Li?"

"You know?" Song Tangtang was a little surprised.

"The Red Army came to my place not long ago, he said so."

Song Tangtang said "Oh" and said nothing more.

"Let's go."

"Where to go?" Fang Minghua asked

"Let's go to Xingqing Park."

"Okay, get in the car and sit tight."

Song Tangtang gently jumped on the back seat of the bicycle. For the first time, she gently put her arms around Fang Minghua's waist.
