Time passed slowly one thing after another, and in the blink of an eye it was 1978. As Jiang Yafei studied, she became more and more ordinary. Finally, Jiang Defu arranged her to join the communications company and became a glorious operator.
Even though she made seven or eight phone calls to her home a day, Gu Yu was annoyed by her and always ran to her aunt and uncle's house. Then Jiang Yafei's life-threatening phone call came to Lao Ding's house. Gu Yu said this to Jiang Yafei with a straight face and a serious face. His actions have seriously affected his creation.
Jiang Yafei only reduced the number of phone calls to three times a day, saying hello in the morning, noon and evening. Jiang Weimin returned to his hometown in the countryside to join the team. Although he was also wearing a green military uniform with red flowers when he left, he was holding a shovel and a hoe.
Gu Yu has already written half of his second novel "Changjin Lake". Because of policy changes, the country wants to deepen the ties between mainland China and compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
A group of young writers were specially selected to go to Xiangjiang for literary exchanges, and Gu Yu was also among them. The biggest gain for Gu Yu from this trip to Xiangjiang may be that he gained the appreciation of Mr. Jin Yong, and his reputation as a literary prodigy and genius spread from the mainland to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia.
Not only the modern poems written by Gu Yu before, but also his first "Bright Sword" has received a lot of praise.
After consulting the leadership, Gu Yu's first part was serialized in Xiangjiang and then published. Gu Yu's royalties for serializing in Ming Pao were NT$220 per thousand words. After publication, he received 8% of the net profit and then Gu Yu's The second part, "Changjin Lake", was also officially serialized in Ming Pao. Ming Pao specially opened a column on war themes.
These have been affirmed by mainland leaders, who believe that Gu Yu not only promoted exchanges between the inland and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but also played a positive publicity role for the inland. It was also a profound patriotic education and strengthened the identity of compatriots in various regions. feel.
Gu Yu's reputation has also continued to increase with the publication of "Bright Sword" and the serialization of "Changjin Lake". Ming Pao's asking price for "Changjin Lake" also changed to 380 yuan per 1,000 words. You must know that at this time, only Ni Kuang could earn more than 400 yuan per 1,000 words, and after publication, his share also changed to 18%. At this time, the Hong Kong dollar was pegged to the US dollar. , the exchange rate of RMB to Hong Kong dollar is about 1:1.14 "Bright Sword" has about more than 400,000 words, and the serialization fee alone is nearly 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Plus the share after publication, the first Gu Yu has more than 30 With an income of 10,000 yuan, the book sold well in Asia, especially in Chinese-speaking areas. The second book "Changjin Lake" has about 500,000 words, and the manuscript fee alone is 190,000 Hong Kong dollars.
It will obviously be more popular than Gu Yu's first book. I believe Gu Yu will soon earn his first one million yuan in this world.
In the late 1970s, this was such a huge sum of money. In short, Gu Yu had made a fortune and no longer had to worry about money.
Fortunately, the source of the money is clear and there is the affirmation of the leadership. In addition, it is already 1978. Although the policies of all walks of life are not yet enlightened, and there are still a few months until the reform and opening up, the Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet .
Gu Yu didn't stay in Xiangjiang for long before he returned to the interior and went directly to Yanjing. He was received by the leaders and had a friendly exchange.
The leaders expressed their optimism about Comrade Gu Yu's future and encouraged him to continue his efforts and speak out more for the inland.
After that, Gu Yu returned to Songshan Island. This time he returned home in glory, but he missed An Jie badly.
Seeing that Gu Yu was so promising, Jiang Defu thought of his deceased brother Gu Gang and sister-in-law Zhang Yanni. After so many years, it was time for Gu Yu to visit their graves and chat with them.
In this era, you need a letter of introduction to go out. Gu Yu was not very old before, so Jiang Defu and Anjie were naturally worried.
Jiang Defu had a special status and could not leave his post without permission, so he could not take Gu Yu to Jinling County. He only asked An Jie to accompany him. Jiang Defu could not rest assured and was worried that something might happen on the way.
After all, An Jie's origin was also a target of attack in previous eras. He could protect him on the island, but he would be beyond his reach once he left the island.
But now that the policies are becoming more and more open, although a letter of introduction is still needed, An Jie is naturally worried about Gu Yu going alone, and Jiang Yafei is also clamoring to go with him.
Another incident happened on the island, which left Jiang Defu, Anjie and Lao Ding speechless. Wang Yongquan's wife, Zhang Guiying, Wang Haiyang's mother, died of illness. As a result, Political Commissar Wang fell in love with Ge Meixia and was about to get married.
You must know that Wang Yongquan used his background and other reasons to prevent the marriage between Lao Ding and Ge Meixia. But this is also someone else's business. Now Lao Ding and Jiang Dehua are living well, and the little boy is three years old. It's just the thought of this that makes people feel uncomfortable.
Gu Yu set a date to go to Jinling County. Just after Weiguo brought his girlfriend back to visit relatives, Jiang Yaning was preparing for the college entrance examination in July this year. December 11 and 12 last year were the first year that the college entrance examination was resumed.
Wang Haiyang was successfully admitted to Tsinghua University, but Gu Yu was in Xiangjiang at the time and did not have time to take the first-year college entrance examination.
For this reason, Wang Haiyang wrote to Gu Yu again, asking him not to forget their agreement that they must participate in the college entrance examination next year and that he would wait for him in Yanjing.
Regarding this, Gu Yu's thought was, is our relationship so good? I am a male, I like women, and I love beautiful women the most.
An Yi has always been in contact with Gu Yu. After listening to Gu Yu's words, she also took the college entrance examination and successfully entered the Union Medical College.
She also told Gu Yu that she would wait for him in Yanjing. To this, Gu Yu said, "Wait for me and see you next year." The day before Weiguo brought his girlfriend back, Jiang Dehua and his family came over for a visit. She was much more enthusiastic than Anjie about the arrival of his new daughter-in-law.
"What are you looking for?" Anjie was making tea and looking at Dehua who was walking around the house in confusion.
"Let me see where Weiguo and the others will stay when they return."
"There are so many empty rooms, not enough for him to live in?" An Jie said angrily, omitting Wei Guo's girlfriend from her choice of words.
"You didn't clean it up?" Dehua looked around and asked with a frown.
"The sheets and bedding are clean, and the house is clean. What should we clean?" An Jie replied nonchalantly.
"It's the first time this daughter-in-law comes to the house. She has to change into a red bed sheet. She needs to be more festive." Dehua curled his lips and said dissatisfied.
"It's not a wedding, what's the point of celebrating? Besides, she's just a girlfriend, a partner, not a wife." An Jie's face was calm.
"Brother Guoqing's girlfriend is still in the assessment period. She has to pass my mother's eyes before she can count." Gu Yu, who had already ignored the matter and came to the restaurant to bring tea, interrupted.
"Be careful when you find someone to talk to. Your mother did the same to your wife." Jiang Dehua said in anger.
"No, I will marry whoever my mother likes!" Gu Yu replied with a smile. An Jie was also amused and beamed when he heard this.
It's just that Gu Yu has his own little thoughts. Who to marry depends on Anjie. Whether or not to talk about it or how many to talk about is not up to him.
