Wang Meng is an airborne soldier and has no foundation within "People's Literature". To reform the editorial board, to a large extent, he is seeking support from external forces.

After all, if he brings in all the new editorial board members, his voice in the magazine will naturally become greater.

Before Lin Chaoyang, Wang Meng had contacted many writers, including Ru Zhijuan, Xu Huaizhong, Chen Rong, Huang Zongying, Jiang Zilong, etc.

Wang Meng also plans to add several senior members of the editorial department to the new editorial board.

After dinner, after Wang Meng left, Tao Yushu told Lin Chaoyang about Wang Meng's plan and methods. Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but admire him after listening.

"He is an old fox, it would be a pity not to be an official!"

"Why do you say bad things about people behind their backs?"

"Am I speaking ill of him? I'm obviously praising him!"

The next day was the graduation ceremony for the 1979 undergraduate students. Tao Yumo hung a camera on his chest and looked for people to take photos everywhere.

At noon, a classmate of theirs went to a restaurant outside the school for a breakup meal. Tao Yumo pulled Lin Chaoyang in, not to treat him to a meal but to use him as a photo-shooter.

There were 52 people in a class, crowded together and sitting at five tables. Each table was filled with exquisite dishes, which was a rare high standard for students during their four years in college.

Four years ago, this group of students gathered in Yanjing from all over the world, and now they will disperse again to all over the world.

Lin Chaoyang listened to these people discussing their allocation destinations. Most of them were assigned to political and legal agencies in various places.

If it were left to future generations, college students would probably laugh out loud if they had such a distribution opportunity.

But what Lin Chaoyang heard most from these people was complaints, just like last year when the Chinese Department of Class 77 was assigned.

Among them are the dissatisfaction of not knowing the blessings in the midst of blessings, and also the confusion and lack of confidence in the future.

Many others expressed envy. The objects of their envy were Tao Yumo and Zha Haisheng, who were assigned to go to the newly established University of Political Science and Law.

In the eyes of these students, becoming a university teacher after graduation is a better job than going to a political and legal institution.

Tao Yumo listened to the envy of his classmates and said carelessly: "What a great thing! I go to the Changping campus, which is more than 40 kilometers away from Yanjing."

As soon as she said this, she immediately attracted criticism from her classmates, criticizing her for not knowing her blessings despite being blessed.

Happy times are always short-lived. During the exchange of glasses, Tao Yumo's college career came to an end. She burst into tears when she said goodbye to her classmates. Lin Chaoyang seized the opportunity to take some ugly photos of her.

Tao Yumo graduated, so her family naturally wanted to celebrate for her. Tao's father planned to take the family to a restaurant in the evening.

The weather was hot in July and it was too troublesome to go into the city, so Mr. Tao decided to hold the celebration at the Changzheng Restaurant outside the school.

Lin Chaoyang and his wife came to Langrun Lake Apartment after work to meet up with their families, and saw Zhu Guangqian at home.

After saying hello, Lin Chaoyang quietly asked Tao Yumo, "Why is Lao Zhu here at this time?"

Tao Yumo was playing Tao Xiwen's game console and replied to him intently, "I'm here to exchange books."

"Exchange books? What books should I exchange for?"

Lin Chaoyang was asking, and Tao Xiwen, who was already waiting impatiently, hugged Tao Yumo's thigh, "Sister-in-law, you've been playing for fifteen minutes, it's my turn!"

"My sister-in-law is an elder. Let's play for five more minutes."

Tao Yumo didn't bother to answer Lin Chaoyang's words and comforted his impatient nephew.

Tao Yushu snatched the game console from her hand and cursed: "You are already working, and you are still robbing your children of toys. How embarrassing are you!"

The bloodline suppression from the eldest sister made Tao Yumo dare not make mistakes, and then she remembered Lin Chaoyang's problem.

"The set of martial arts novels you gave to my eldest brother are now in great demand. I'm so impressed that some people are coming to borrow them."

Nowadays, people are short of entertainment means. Even novels like "War and Peace" can make many people chew it with gusto, let alone martial arts novels.

Just one pirated serialization of "Wulin" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has created at least tens of millions of fans of martial arts novels in China.

But this thing has not been introduced to the mainland for a long time. In the past two years, it was criticized as DC. Although there are many readers, there are very few reading materials. Often, if a person has a martial arts novel in his hand, it will become the favorite of those around him.

"Mobile Library".

If there are two novels by Jin Yong or Liang Yusheng, the threshold of the family will be broken down.

The entire set of Jin Yong's martial arts novels that Lin Chaoyang gave to Tao Yucheng is as lethal as nuclear weapons today. No martial arts novel fan can resist this temptation.

"My eldest brother has been shaking lately!" Tao Yumo said in a sour tone.

Lin Chaoyang glanced at his sister-in-law, your eldest brother is popular, why are you so bitter?

In fact, it was not his elder brother Tao Yucheng who was upset about Tao Yu, but his own failure to choose the right gift.

Big Brother’s set of Jin Yong’s novels can be read by oneself and become a favorite among everyone.

But except for her classmates who expressed envy in the first few days, no one cared about her electronic watch. It was not as good as Tao Xiwen's game console, and she regretted it just thinking about it.

Lin Chaoyang ignored Tao Yumo and ran over to chat with Zhu Guangqian, "Do you always read martial arts novels?"

"What? I can't watch?"

"Look at you, I'm just asking, let's go have dinner together later!"

"What's for dinner? Don't delay me from reading novels!"

Zhu Guangqian didn't have the consciousness to "don't forget the well digger" at all. The taste was still familiar when he opened his mouth. He really became more rebellious as he got older.

"Read less martial arts novels. You have such a temper because of reading martial arts novels."

The two were sarcastic at each other. At this time, Tao Yucheng took out a copy of "Swordsman". Zhu Guangqian did not care about scolding Lin Chaoyang anymore, picked up the novel and left.

Lin Chaoyang looked at the stubborn back of this little old man and couldn't help but sigh, "A good master of aesthetics was ruined by martial arts novels!"

"Martial arts novels are very harmful to people!"

Tao Yushu patted him lightly and asked, "How old is Uncle Zhu, and you still make fun of him?"

"You said it was a joke!"

After staying at Tao's house for a while, the family went out together to the Changzheng Restaurant outside the south gate.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, there was a large still of Cong Shan in "The Wrangler" posted on the wall. Next to it were Tang Guoqiang in "The Peacock Princess" and Zhang Yu in "Romance on Lushan Mountain".

There were several tables of guests in the restaurant. Some gay men wore jeans with zippers in the front, some lesbians wore bodybuilding pants, and some lesbians wore bell-bottom pants with wavy hair permed. Very fashionable!

Tao Yushu looked around and couldn't help but sigh, "Young people nowadays wear all kinds of fancy clothes."

As a person who can see the patriotic sentiment when watching a ballet, she naturally has a disdain for the fashion that many young people have been pursuing in the past two years.

"Sister, that's called fashion, but you're so old-fashioned! Besides, I'm not necessarily younger than you."

Is it okay for someone who dares to talk back just after graduation?

Tao Yushu's look made her sister shut up obediently.

Today Tao Yumo graduates. Tao's father and Tao's mother are the happiest. All three children have graduated from college and are working. This kind of success rate is also rare in Langrun Lake Apartment.

When talking about graduation, work inevitably comes up. Father Tao and Mother Tao are very satisfied with their youngest daughter's work.

After graduation, he became a university teacher, which was regarded as inheriting his father's legacy. However, Tao Yumo was not happy when it came to work.

What she said to her classmates at noon yesterday was not a lie. In fact, being assigned to the University of Political Science and Law was actually a pretty good job, because the old School of Political Science and Law was located near Yanda.

If he worked here, Tao Yumo wouldn't even need to live in the company's dormitory.

But there is always a gap between ideals and reality. The reason why she and Zha Haisheng were assigned to the University of Political Science and Law was because the University of Political Science and Law had just been established and was limited by the limited conditions of the campus. To build another campus in Changping, a group of people were needed.

A young teacher in the prime of life went to Changping to become a pioneer.

The new campus is still under construction. In order to prevent employees from moving to Changping, the University of Political Science and Law first bought two houses with more than 200 units on Xihuan Road in Changping to serve as welfare houses and dormitories for school cadres and young teachers.

Then they were mobilized to live in Changping. For this purpose, school buses were specially arranged to transport cadres and teachers to and from Changping and Xueyuan Road every day.

Her workplace suddenly moved from the University of Political Science and Law to Changping. When Tao Yumo thought about having to take a three-hour commute to and from get off work, she felt hopeless in life.

Listening to her daughter's complaints, Tao's mother scolded her for not sparing her blessings.

Tao Yumo was not angry and hugged her sister's arm and said, "Sister, your job is good. You work right in front of your house."

Tao Yushu said: "It can't be done now. I forgot to tell you that I have been transferred to work at "People's Literature"."

After she said this, the Tao family had questions on their faces.

Tao Yushu's job was transferred? When? Why didn't they know?

Today's jobs are not like those of later generations. Most people spend their entire lives working in one unit. Tao Yushu graduated just over a year ago. How do you say that you can change units when you change units?

Tao Yushu patiently explained a few sentences. The Tao family did not understand the twists and turns inside "People's Literature".

But everyone understands that Tao Yushu's transfer there proves that she has been valued by the leadership, and they are very happy for her.

After dinner, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. When the family came out of the Changzheng Restaurant, they saw that the lights in front of the newly opened laser halls not far from the south gate of the school were already on.

In the last two years and this year, several dance halls have opened in front of Yanda Gate, including disco and various ballroom dances. Most of the customers are college students from several nearby schools.

Tickets cost two or three yuan, and you can play there for one night.

This price is a luxury for most students, but many students still flock to it.

Many of the young people in fancy clothes who had dinner at the Changzheng Restaurant just now went into the ballroom after finishing their meal.

Tao Yumo's eyes lingered at the entrance of the laser hall for a few seconds, and Tao Yushu keenly noticed, "Don't go to such a messy place."

"I'm not going!" Tao Yumo replied, sarcastically saying, "Sister, you are really an old feudalist!"
