Soon, the class bell rang and the students returned to their seats.
After the teacher came, most people focused on the teacher. However, Tang Yuewen, who had just received Jiang Yulou's manuscript, was already completely immersed in the plot of the novel.
When she read the beginning, she raised her eyebrows. The beginning of the novel made her feel like reading a biographical novel.
The writing is simple, without fancy rhetoric.
As mentioned before, she has read a lot of novels. If compared, Jiang Yulou's writing skills at this time are still lacking. However, this is how she compared Jiang Yulou's novels with those classics.
Compared with his peers, or even compared with young writers, Jiang Yulou cannot be said to be more skilled.
incredible!
Tang Yuewen read on patiently, slowly immersing herself in the story.
She spent the entire class immersed in reading Jiang Yulou's manuscript, and she didn't even know when get out of class would end.
Tang Yuewen's deskmate was very surprised when she saw that her former good student didn't even listen to classes or take notes in order to read Jiang Yulou's novels. She couldn't help but ask the girl who rarely communicated with her:
"Classmate Tang, are Jiang Yulou's novels really that good?"
"Well, it looks good."
Tang Yuewen replied casually, but kept staring at the manuscript.
The story is very exciting. She has taken part in it and has no time to answer questions from her classmates.
The tablemate didn't say much when he saw this. He was attracted by Jiang Yulou's shallow story only because Tang Yuewen came from a poor family, had little knowledge, and had not read many novels.
That's right, Tang Yuewen's deskmate is from a cadre family. She is a "foreign student" in the eyes of rural boys. She is a fairy-like figure who has read many Chinese and foreign novels and has a high vision.
How could a poor student from Jiang Yulou catch her eye, let alone the novel he wrote. In her opinion, it is no better than a child's composition.
She stopped paying attention to Tang Yuewen. Class would start soon. Today's knowledge point was very important and she couldn't leave it behind.
She listened carefully throughout the class, but her mind would be on Tang Yuewen from time to time.
What surprised her was that Tang Yuewen's posture did not change during the whole class. She always lowered her head and read Jiang Yulou's manuscript.
Are the novels written by Jiang Yulou really so charming?
My deskmate became more and more surprised, and the idea of seeing it emerged in my heart.
"Classmate Tang, are you still reading?"
Tang Yuewen was seeing the wonderful place and didn't even hear what her deskmate was saying.
At this time, Jiang Yulou came over.
There is no way, his manuscript is very popular now, and several classmates want to read it. But Tang Yuewen had watched two classes, and before she finished, she asked him to come over and remind her.
Tang Yuewen's deskmate saw him coming, and looked very strange: "Jiang Yulou, what is the magic power of the novel you wrote? Classmate Tang was completely obsessed with it, and I didn't even respond when I talked to her. I became a little curious. After a while, Let me take a look too."
Unexpectedly, all the "foreign girls" in the class were interested in his novels. Jiang Yulou was a little proud: "Okay, but there are several students in front of me waiting in line, so you have to wait."
"no problem."
While the two were talking, Tang Yuewen suddenly raised her head and said with satisfaction: "Finally finished reading!"
After reading the entire novel in one breath, she felt only satisfied. It's so refreshing, I even feel intoxicated.
Different from foreign novels, although they are good, they are too far away from her. Jiang Yulou's novels are different. Although they are still very old, they have an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Maybe it’s the same country and the same nation’s own story.
What moved her even more was the spirit and temperament of the rural people in the story, which made her even more fascinated.
She even reminded her of her father. He was also such a man of integrity!
"I'll take a look first!"
"Me, me, Louzi, it's my turn!"
"Nonsense, it was obviously me first!"
After Tang Yuewen read it, Jiang Yulou naturally took the novel manuscript back from her.
The reason why his novel manuscripts are so popular is that everyone takes note of Tang Yuewen's performance.
Although everyone invariably isolated Tang Yuewen, everyone knew that she was a good student. She listened carefully in class, liked to take notes, and ranked first in the class in exam scores.
But such a good student and good girl was so fascinated by Jiang Yulou's novels that she stopped listening to the class and stopped writing notes.
Ever since, everyone couldn't wait to take a sneak peek and see what was so extraordinary about the novel written by Jiang Yulou that could make Tang Yuewen become like this.
"Don't be anxious, don't argue." Jiang Yulou said, "Let Ma Xiao see it first. He made an appointment early."
"Okay, once Ma Xiao is done, it's my turn."
"Don't forget about me, I got in line early."
"Everyone has a share. But please take it easy, don't delay class, and don't lose my manuscript."
Jiang Yulou warned, feeling quite proud in his heart.
The popularity of the novel was somewhat beyond his expectation. Maybe it’s the herd mentality, maybe it’s the celebrity effect, but in short, his novel manuscript is now the most popular in the class.
One morning, several more students read his manuscript and gave it very high praise.
Although the students' level is not high, isn't the novel written for people to read?
And this group of students with high school education is not the audience for Jiang Yulou's novels.
Does this mean that he has a fan base in advance before his novel is published?
Thinking of this, he felt happy.
During lunch time, Jiang Yulou sat with Tang Yuewen again.
After dinner, when he was about to return to the village with Ma Xiao, he was stopped by Tang Yuewen.
"Classmate Jiang..."
"Don't call me Jiang, it's too confusing. How about you call me Yulou and I call you Yuewen?"
Tang Yuewen's thin face turned a little red. She hesitated for a moment and then said softly: "Jade... Jade Tower..."
"Hey, that's right, Yue Wen." Jiang Yulou asked with a smile, "Yue Wen, what else is going on?"
"Yulou, what were you thinking when you wrote this novel?"
"What do you think?"
Tang Yuewen pondered for a moment and considered her words: "It's just... the story is so strong..."
When she read the novel, she was completely immersed in the world of the novel. She was happy for the protagonist, but also felt indignant and sad because the protagonist was unfairly treated.
Literary, obscure and popular.
Jiang Yulou instantly understood what Tang Yuewen meant. The reason why she didn't understand was that she had not received any systematic writing training, and that all she had been exposed to were literary classics, which were generally more literary than story-telling.
Most literary masterpieces are of such obscure nature that it is difficult to understand the core without professional analysis.
But Jiang Yulou's novel is different. "Li Shisan's Pushing the Mill" was written after 2000. At that time, popular works were already the world. Chen Zhongshi's writing style has also changed, and it is closer to the reading needs of ordinary people.
Literary nature means that ideas are the core and skeleton, but stories are the flesh and blood. Jiang Yulou knows his own advantages and the future trends, so why would he abandon the near for the far and engage in so-called literary and artistic things that are far away from the people.
Because of this, the novels he wrote are so easily accepted by people and can be read in one sitting without feeling boring or difficult to understand.
Jiang Yulou smiled slightly and asked: "Isn't a novel supposed to write about characters and stories?"
Tang Yuewen was stunned for a moment, and wanted to retort to Jiang Yulou, saying that novels are not only these, but should have a deeper core and criticize reality. Novels from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, should be like this.
The words were on her lips, but somehow she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
At this moment, when Tang Yuewen faced Jiang Yulou, she felt like looking up at the mountains.
A word to wake up the dreamer!
