After the screening, Lin Chaoyang chatted with the leaders for a long time. Du Ruolin suddenly said with emotion, "The pensions for martyrs are too low now. I'm sorry for our comrades!"

His words aroused the unanimous approval of the generals present. Today, the sacrifice pension of our soldiers is still the standard of 515 yuan set during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Thirty years later, this standard has not changed at all.

"It is indeed too low. But for such a pension, almost none of our martyrs' families have made any request to the organization."

"This standard should be adjusted. Our martyrs' families should not be allowed to bleed and shed tears!"

It may be said that the people present are all generals, but they are also veterans from the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation. They empathize with the dedication and sacrifice of grassroots officers and soldiers.

Taking advantage of an opportunity like today, someone raised the issue of pensions. Without the need for communication, everyone immediately unified their stance and put the pressure on leader No. 3, who is the top leader present today.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Seeing that no one else is here today, am I the only one who is easy to bully?"

"Look what you said, you are the leader, aren't we reporting the situation to you?"

The veterans who have been through the fire are accustomed to life and death. Facing the pushback from leader No. 3, they did not show any timidity. They surrounded the leader and said "you, me", and the situation was once out of control.

"Okay, okay, in a few days I will report to the senior leader and I will definitely mention this matter." Leader No. 3 was so annoyed by these old guys that he finally had to agree to their request.

Lin Chaoyang witnessed the old generals fighting with the leaders to fight for the rights of the soldiers. Although he didn't know the final result, he couldn't help but feel proud when he thought that this incident was caused by his works.

The sensational effect of "Wreaths Under the Mountain" lasted throughout the last month of 1983. This phenomenon-level film that shocked the film industry also brought a huge impact to the Chinese cultural world.

With the popularity of the movie, the original novel "Garland Under the Mountain" was the first to be snapped up by the audience, and it is difficult to find a copy.

Various movie magazines and media are talking about movies and the concept of "Xu Lingjun Year". Young people are proud of their military uniforms. The bell-bottoms and jeans that were popular in the past two years suddenly disappeared this winter.

After New Year's Day, Yanda University will be on vacation soon, and the school specially borrowed a copy of "Wreaths Under the Mountain" to show to the students.

Although many students had already watched the movie in the cinema, the dining room was still packed with enthusiastic college students when the movie was shown.

The large dining room has just been transformed into a large lecture hall this year, with fixed seats installed and a stage set up specifically for use as a lecture hall and auditorium.

After the movie was played, the lecture hall was completely silent. Some people were wiping tears, some were thinking seriously, and many more people were reluctant to leave for a long time.

At this time, the college students who were still immersed in the movie saw the actor He Wei, who played Jin Kailai, appearing in the lecture hall.

The students were so excited that they all rushed up to him, surrounded him tightly, and touched his face affectionately.

This was the hero they saw in the movie. The students were as devout as worshiping an idol. With He Wei's appearance, there were endless applause and shouts.

Lin Chaoyang was in the corner of the lecture hall, looking at the scene in front of him, worried that He Wei would be squeezed into a photo by the students.

He said to the person in charge of the school league committee, "Xiao Li, your safety awareness still needs to be improved!"

"Teacher Lin, if you are worried, you can come to the stage to meet everyone."

Lin Chaoyang waved his hand, "It's okay. I'm a behind-the-scenes staff member, so I'm not that popular."

Soon, Lin Chaoyang was slapped in the face by his words.

His face was more famous than the principal at Yanda. As soon as he appeared on the stage, the students' enthusiasm reached its peak and surged towards him. Lin Chaoyang was so surprised that he rolled over.

stage.

Yan University was going to screen "Garland Under the Mountain" and specially invited He Wei, the actor who played Jin Kailai in the movie. Lin Chaoyang, as a novel author, film screenwriter and employee of Yan University, naturally couldn't not attend, so he

I had a rare day of work today.

The lively exchange lasted for more than half an hour. Lin Chaoyang bowed to express his gratitude to the students, and thunderous applause broke out again in the lecture hall.

"Wreaths Under the Mountain" was screened in the lecture hall for two consecutive days, allowing YSU students to watch this year's most popular movie before the holidays.

After the screening, the winter vacation life of college students also began.

For Lin Chaoyang, it makes no difference whether he takes winter vacation or not, since he doesn't go to work anyway.

The twelfth lunar month has already entered two days after New Year's Day, and it is already the Laba Festival after the holidays.

This period was the coldest day of the year in Yanjing, and Lin Chaoyang stayed at home easily unwilling to go out.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. The snowflakes were as big as fingernails and fell freely. In a short time, a layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.

The room was as warm as spring. Lin Chaoyang stood in front of the glass window, the teacup in his hand filled with water vapor. He murmured to himself, "The snow is a bit heavy this time!"

"Ah~ah~ah~"

On the ground in the house, Xiao Dongdong took steps that he didn't recognize, and with Tao Yumo's encouragement, he staggered and learned to walk.

Tao Yumo was standing three or five steps in front of him, with a smile on his face and opened his hands towards him, "Xiao Dongzi, come here quickly and get into my aunt's arms!"

Xiao Dongdong kept making anxious sounds, but unfortunately her feet were not very agile. The more anxious she became, the more she ran off the track, and finally stumbled and fell two steps away from Tao Yumo.

He fell to the ground with a plop and grabbed a dog to eat its shit, but he didn't cry.

Lying firmly on the ground, he tilted his head and looked at Tao Yumo with a silly smile.

This smile made his mouth water uncontrollably, and Tao Yumo quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

"Stop being silly, you drool when you have fun. When will your mouth sores go away? I don't know what your parents think of it!"

Lin Chaoyang turned a deaf ear to his sister-in-law's ridicule. Seeing the snow falling more and more outside, he put down the tea cup in his hand, turned to Tao Yumo and said:

"Yu Mo, look at Dongdong, I'll pick up your sister!"

Before Tao Yumo could reply, Lin Chaoyang had already left the door.

Looking at his brother-in-law's anxious back, Tao Yumo hugged his eldest nephew in his arms.

"Oh! Dongzi, why do I feel like you were picked up by your parents?"

"Ah~ah?"

"You think so, right? These two people only care about themselves and don't care about our feelings at all."

"ah!"

"No, I've never seen such irresponsible parents."

"Ah!"

"Auntie, you have it in your heart, right? It's better for me to be nice to you!"

"Ah~"

"When you grow up, you can't forget your aunt."

"Ahhh!"

"That's right. You want to buy a motorcycle for your aunt when you get rich in the future. It's really hard for your aunt to go to work. It's dozens of kilometers away!"

"Wow~wow~"

Xiao Dongdong burst into tears suddenly, and Tao Yumo looked moved, "You still feel sorry for me, dear baby!"

Tao Yumo kissed Xiao Dongdong's cheek twice, and suddenly felt a heat in her chest, and her face suddenly fell.

"You're wearing a diaper, why are you still peeing on me? I think you deserve a beating!"

"Ah! Ah!"

Dongsibatiao Hutong, inside the editorial office building of "People's Literature".

It was only around two o'clock in the afternoon, and seeing the snow falling more and more outside, Liu Jianqing, the deputy editor, asked everyone to get off work early to avoid going back late. The snow was falling too much and it was difficult to walk on the road.

He is always a good guy, and as soon as he said this, he immediately attracted praise from his colleagues in the editorial department.

Everyone packed their things and got ready to get off work, but Tao Yushu still sat there calmly and read the manuscript.

"Yushu, hurry up and leave. It will snow heavily later and it will be difficult to ride the car," Zhu Wei reminded.

Tao Yushu was fascinated by the manuscript and replied without raising his head: "You guys go first, I will leave after I finish reading the manuscript, very soon."

While talking, colleagues left the editorial office one after another.

Tao Yushu was the only one left in the huge office, and the only sound in the office was her turning papers.

"Bang bang!" Two knocks suddenly came from the office door.

Tao Yushu woke up from being immersed in the story. She got up and opened the door, only to see a young man with an immature face standing at the door, with a lot of snow falling on his shoulders and head, which had not yet melted.

In Tao Yushu's opinion, the young man's clothes were not suitable for the current temperature in Yanjing. The lower body's trouser legs were slender and did not look like he was wearing cotton trousers. The upper body was actually wearing a sweater, but only an autumn jacket was worn outside.

This kind of clothing looks too thin in weather like today.

"Hello, I'm looking for Teacher Tao!"

The young man spoke with a slight accent from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and the word "Qiao Ton" was changed to "Ping Tongue".

Listening to his words, Tao Yushu's eyes lit up, "Are you Yu Hua from Zhejiang?"

When Yu Hua saw Tao Yushu calling out his name at once, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. When he smiled, his eyelids drooped down, like a naive dog.

"Are you Teacher Tao? I am Yu Hua."

"Come in quickly, come in quickly!"

Tao Yushu let Yu Hua enter the office. It was the first time he walked into the editorial department of a literary magazine. It was also the top literary magazine in the country. Yu Hua felt unspeakably nervous.

His eyes looked around at the environment in the office. The desks, piles of manuscripts, and potted plants on the windowsill seemed to be nothing special.

Tao Yushu asked him to sit down and poured him a cup of hot tea, "I didn't expect you to arrive today."

Yu Hua sat on the chair and put his bag on the table. "I set out on the day I received your letter. I just didn't expect it to be so cold in Yanjing."
