Yu Hua's "gone with the wind" is recognized by Yu Hua himself.
In fact, of course this cannot be considered as nonsense. People's ideas will change with the environment. Now that Yu Hua's books are selling so well and he is so famous, he doesn't take these things as seriously as before.
Yu Hua writes very few novels now. After "The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", he has not published any novels.
He was usually reluctant to write short stories and short stories, so he used some essays to cope with requests from magazines.
But Yu Dong didn't push Yu Hua's manuscript like he did Hu Changqing, because Yu Dong knew it was useless.
"We don't care about awards, but fame and fortune are important."
Yu Dong smiled and continued: "This time you go to Italy, I asked the company to arrange two autograph sessions for you, for a total of two days, one per day."
"What about you?" Yu Hua asked, "Won't you hold a book signing with me?"
Yu Dong curled his lips and said: "We are tired enough from holding autograph sessions in the United States. Let's go to Europe to have some fun and make up for the regret of not going to the World Cup before."
"Wouldn't it be tiring if I don't hold a book signing event this time when I go to the United States?"
"It's okay if you're tired. You're usually too idle."
"You... are simply inhumane."
Yu Hua rolled her eyes at Yu Dong and stood up to leave. After taking two steps, she ran back and drank two cups of herbal tea.
After finishing the herbal tea, Yu Hua strode away.
Looking at the empty glass teapot, Yu Dong wondered if this guy made this trip just to drink his herbal tea.
…
On the day of departure for the United States, when the car passed by the gate, Yu Dong saw Xu Zechen in the reception room.
Yu Dong didn't ask much about Xu Zechen. While chatting with Uncle Zhou in the car, he casually said a few words to Xu Zechen, and then they set off.
On the way, Yu Hua said: "Xu Zechen really fell in love with the communication room of our school. He comes every day and works more diligently than the two regular employees, Xiao Fang and Xiao Li. For those who didn't know, they thought he was the new member of our school.
Recruiting a doorman.”
"I've seen him several times, always in the reception room." Bi Feiyu followed, "I think Uncle Zhou also likes him quite a bit."
"Uncle Zhou likes to read a lot. Didn't you see that Uncle Zhou catches young people like Xiao Fang and Xiao Li and let them read books every day? He claims that they are uneducated, but in fact, he still hopes that young people can acquire more knowledge.
"Mo Yan said.
Uncle Zhou really likes to stare at the young men in the security office and let them read. This idea is good, but the result is not satisfactory.
Xiao Fang, Xiao Li and others have poor foundation and are too old. Although the environment here at Jinyi is very good, their life rhythm has been developed.
Usually I just go to work on time, get off work on time, and go back to meet my friends to eat, drink, and play cards. I don't have any time to focus on studying.
Uncle Zhou believed that although he did not read much, he was still somewhat educated, and at least he had a passion and awe for knowledge, so he had always wanted to find a successor who would not be better than him, but at least be similar to him.
Later, he found that it was difficult to find them, so he thought about cultivating them himself, but when he actually cultivated them, he found that it was even more difficult.
During this period, Uncle Zhou and Xu Zechen were in the communication room every day. Although Xu Zechen spent most of his time reading by himself and Uncle Zhou did not disturb him, the two would still chat together from time to time and even discuss certain issues together.
Although Uncle Zhou doesn't read much, he loves chatting with knowledgeable people and learned most of his knowledge from others.
As the two chatted, they started to talk about their feelings. During this time, Uncle Zhou often secretly regretted that if Xu Zechen was not a student of Jinling University, he could recruit Jin Yi to support the facade of the communication room. This kind of
Although the idea is narrow, it is very true.
When they talked about Uncle Zhou's search for a successor, everyone found it interesting. Wang Xiaobo said, "Haha, if Uncle Zhou really can't find him, I'll apply for the job. I should still meet his conditions."
Wang Xiaobo's words made Yu Dong curl up his lips.
It has been more than a year since Wang Xiaobo came to Jinyi.
He is nominally staying in Jinyi, but in fact he has settled down.
Li Yinhe used to go abroad for literary exchanges. Later, when Wang Xiaobo came to Jinyi, Yu Dong and others took care of her. She simply worked in the United States for a long time. She probably wouldn't come back in a short time. It was Wang Xiaobo who went abroad to see her every time.
Wang Xiaobo's residence in Yanjing is now empty. Wang Xiaobo wanted to go back and have a look before, but when he opened the door he smelled a musty smell and left without even entering.
At the beginning, Wang Xiaobo lived in Jinyi, and Yu Dong never mentioned anything else, except to let him take care of himself.
A few months after arriving, Yu Dong approached Wang Xiaobo and told Wang Xiaobo that he might as well sign a writer's contract with Jin Yi.
I don’t know what Wang Xiaobo was thinking, and he didn’t refuse. He just kept saying wait, wait, wait.
So when Yu Dong heard Wang Xiaobo joking about applying for a job as a doorman, he raised his eyebrows.
Yu Hua had a good rapport with Yu Dong, and said jokingly, "Xiaobo, I think you should sign a writer-in-residence contract with Jin Yi, and then you would have a place to work. If you like the communication room, you might as well let
Principal Wu will put your office in the communication room for you. Uncle Zhou will definitely welcome it and will never blame you for taking up other places."
Wang Xiaobo chuckled: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
Bi Feiyu couldn't help but ask: "We have asked you about this many times, and every time you say wait, what are you waiting for?"
"Yes, Xiaobo, what are you waiting for? Do you think being a writer-in-residence is a constraint for you?"
"No, no, absolutely not. In my opinion, the writers-in-residence at Jinyi University have great respect for writers. Even Yu Hua, who has not published a book for several years, has not seen..."
Yu Hua twitched the corner of his mouth, "Ahem, don't pull it on me."
Chen Hong sat next to Yu Hua and hit Yu Hua on the shoulder, "Isn't Teacher Wang right? You don't have as many works as me now."
This made everyone laugh. Chen Hong was right. She has a lighter life burden now, and Haiguo has grown up. She usually has time to write scripts, essays, etc. She has submitted to many magazines in the past two years.
, I have also passed many drafts, and my output is indeed higher than that of Yu Hua.
Yu Dong didn't let them change the topic, and then asked: "Then Xiaobo, what's your reason?"
Wang Xiaobo grinned, "Actually, it's nothing. I've been waiting for Ruan Xiaohu to allocate a house. Principal Wu told me before that if I was a writer-in-residence at Jinyi, he would allocate me a house. Of course I think it's good.
, but Xiaohu has been here longer than me and has been living in the single dormitory. It would be really bad if I moved out first."
Hearing Wang Xiaobo's words, Yu Dong's eyes almost popped out of his head.
Wang Xiaobo declined him politely before. He thought for a long time and came up with many reasons for Wang Xiaobo, but he did not expect that Wang Xiaobo was considering Ruan Xiaohu.
Wang Xiaobo's thoughts are really difficult to fathom.
Ruan Xiaohu did not share a room because Ruan Xiaohu was not married and did not meet the conditions for room allocation. This time Ruan Xiaohu and Li Yu received the certificates and mentioned the matter to Wu Changxin, who immediately approved it.
