In the 1970s, people's cultural and entertainment life was very limited.
In 1975, the total number of novels and novellas published nationwide did not exceed fifty. No more than ten films were produced.
Therefore, people are very thirsty for spiritual food. Every time a classic play like "The Red Detachment of Women" is performed, everyone queues up overnight to grab tickets. Tickets are sold out as soon as they are sold out, and it is hard to get a ticket.
In "Blood Romance", Zhong Yuemin, Zheng Tong, and Yuan Jun did this, and they even had conflicts with famous little bastards because of buying tickets.
Therefore, Cai Xiaoli was surprised to see that Xiang Nan actually had a ticket in his hand.
Xiang Nan smiled and told her about the poems he wrote that were included in "People's Literature".
After hearing this, Cai Xiaoli was stunned.
"Jianjun, are you telling the truth? Don't you lie to me?" She couldn't believe it.
"Why did I lie to you?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I told the truth."
"But how is that possible? You, like me, graduated from junior high school. How can you still write poetry?" she asked in confusion.
In her opinion, those who can write poetry are great intellectuals. Xiang Nan, who graduated from junior high school, is obviously not among them.
"This may be the fate of people. Each person is in a different position." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It's like farming. Old farmers who have never been to school in their lives can do better than those of us who have graduated from junior high school."
Cai Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, then nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.
"Jianjun, you are so awesome~" She then said with admiration.
Writing in "People's Literature" is really amazing.
"It's just so-so, I will be even better in the future." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "This ticket is for you. Remember, it will be at the People's Art Theater at 7:30 tomorrow night."
"Yeah." Cai Xiaoli nodded.
…
After returning home, Xiang Nan took his younger brother to a neighbor's house to pay New Year's greetings.
"Grandma Su, Teacher Su, Teacher Liu, wish you a happy New Year~" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Happy New Year! Jianjun, I heard that the poems you wrote were included in "People's Literature"?" Su Jingxuan asked.
"Yes, it's a fluke." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Yeah." Su Jingxuan nodded and said nothing.
But Xiang Nan knew that he must be very envious.
Su Jingxuan is a high school teacher, graduated from university, and is considered a senior intellectual. However, even so, he was not in "People's Literature".
Facing Xiang Nan, a rising star, he was naturally a little envious.
"You're busy, so we won't sit down~" Xiang Nan smiled and was too lazy to talk to his family. He wanted to leave right after New Year's greetings and didn't even bother to drink a bowl of tea.
"Jianjun, please wait." At this time, Grandma Su persuaded him to stay.
"Grandma Su, do you have anything else?" Xiang Nan stopped, turned around and asked.
"Jianjun, you and Su Meng are classmates. You see, you both have a job, but our Su Meng is still idle. I know your father is well-connected and Lu Ziye, can you do me a favor and help our Su Meng's work?" Has it been solved?" Grandma Su asked.
Xiang Nan almost laughed when he heard this.
They all live in the same courtyard, you can't see them when you look up and you can't see them when you look down, and they are not far apart from each other. If Grandma Su wants to ask Cheng Baoguo to find a job, she can talk to him directly instead of asking him to tell her.
The reason why she did this was, to put it bluntly, she still couldn't bear to lose face. valley
Because Su Jingxuan and Liu Lanzhi both graduated from universities and were teachers, they considered themselves intellectuals and were superior to others, and they looked down on these people who lived in the same hospital. Even Su Meng felt embarrassed when she went to Chunming's house to sit there.
If such a person asked her to ask Cheng Baoguo for help, she would not be able to open her mouth. So I wanted to ask Xiang Nan to help convey the news in the name of my classmates. When my son asks me to do something, there is no need to worry about it.
In this way, their family could not give up any face, and they could also kill two birds with one stone in solving Su Meng's work.
However, Xiang Nan is not the licking dog of Cheng Jianjun. He knew that Su Meng was not interested in him, but he still focused on kneeling and licking her. He had no intention of talking to this woman.
"Grandma Su, don't worry, Su Meng is my classmate, can I leave her alone?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I will mention this to my dad later. With his help, it will be no problem."
"That's good, come on, grab some peanuts~" Grandma Su smiled happily after hearing this.
"No, no need." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, and then took his brother out of the door.
…
In the afternoon, Chunming came to see Xiang Nan.
"Brother, sell me your two "Red Detachment of Women" tickets." He said with a smile.
"Why did you buy it?" Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.
"Su Meng is in a bad mood. I want to take her to a show to relax her mind," Chunming explained.
"It's late, I've already made an appointment with Cai Xiaoli." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"Be accommodating, you two are together, why don't you watch something bad." Chunming said in vain, "Brother, please give me some face."
"I gave away the tickets, how can I ask for them back? You're really good at it." Xiang Nan rolled her eyes at him, "Besides, I told you before that girl Su Meng is not easy to chase.
You have been chasing her for half a year, right? Is there any progress? Has she agreed to be with you? Did her father, mother, and grandma all approve of it? There is nothing, so why are you chasing after it? It's just a waste of time. "
"Don't say that. Su Meng has me in her heart. I know it. She just can't find a job and is in a bad mood. When she finds a job and her anger subsides, she will be fine." Chunming said with a smile.
Seeing how optimistic he was, Xiang Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Hey, by the way, I heard that you are going to ask your dad to help Su Meng find a job?" Chunming asked again, "Thank you so much, buddy."
"Go aside, in what name do you thank me? Who are you Su Meng? Lover, boyfriend, backup boyfriend?" Xiang Nan smiled.
"Oh, just think of it as a favor to me. If she gets better, my brother's marriage will be easier," Chunming said shamelessly.
"It's not as simple as you think." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "She must first agree to be your girlfriend, or make a similar guarantee, and then you can help her with this matter.
Otherwise, she hasn’t done anything yet, and you’re just busy. Aren’t you afraid that she won’t admit it afterwards? "
He believed that Su Meng's family could do such a thing.
In the play, her family also asked Cheng Baoguo for help. Cheng Jianjun thought that if he helped, he could fall in love with Su Meng, so he asked his father for help. In the end, Su Meng's matter was solved, but the Su family still looked down upon him and let him bite the urine bubble, which was all for nothing.
Therefore, with such lessons learned from the past, he did not want Chunming to make the same mistake again.
"I'm not afraid." Chunming said firmly.
"You're not afraid, I'm afraid." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Chunming, you are a smart man. You should know that there is an old saying, don't let go of the eagle if you don't see the rabbit.
To do business, you still need to put down a deposit. You know how much effort it takes to get someone into the Children's Palace. If she doesn't say anything, I don't suggest you help her anyway. "
"Then what expression do you want?" Chunming asked.
"Let her say in front of everyone in the hospital that as long as you help her enter the Children's Palace, she will have a relationship with you." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "This request is not difficult to achieve, right?"
