In April, Feng Huacheng, who returned to Yanjing, was imprisoned again. Golden Land Magazine, which had always wanted to ask for articles from Feng Huacheng, could not escape the disaster. Fortunately, when editor-in-chief Shao Jingwen went to visit Wang Zhong at Lao Zhou's house, Wang Zhong was thinking about it. Friendship with Shao Jingwen, remind him to be more cautious.
Feng Huacheng's poems are indeed good, but compared with the ones published by Wang Zhong, they are much worse. Especially now that the sales of the two novellas serialized by Wang Zhong in Golden Land have increased sharply in the past few years. His desire for the poems he turned into was not strong, and Shao Jingwen just had the attitude of giving it a try.
It was precisely because of Wang Zhong's reminder that Jin Ditu and Shao Jingwen avoided a lot of trouble in advance.
After what happened to Feng Huacheng, Shao Jingwen, who was still frightened and escaped, specially brought a gift to visit Wang Zhong and sincerely thanked him.
Feng Huacheng entered the Yanjing Library and was invited to join the Writers Association because his works received widespread attention.
This can be considered a blessing in disguise.
In mid-to-late October, Qu Xiuzhen suddenly came to Wang Zhong and called Wang Zhong, Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang to his home.
"What's the reason for calling you here until today?" Qu Xiuzhen still has short hair, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and looks neat and tidy.
Ma Shou often sits on the sofa and drinks tea.
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Something good happened!"
"What a great thing!"
Qu Xiuzhen clapped her thighs, feeling so excited that she couldn't help herself.
Who is Qu Xiuzhen? She is an old revolutionary who has emerged from a hail of bullets. She once served as the president of the High Court. She has so much experience. She is used to seeing the storms and rarely gets carried away.
"Laoqu, please stop showing off!" Ma Shouchang on the side was also very happy, with a smile on his face: "Tell them quickly, look at how anxious they are!"
Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan were both confused but curious, but Wang Zhong was the calmest.
Qu Xiuzhen specially called the three of them here instead of calling Cao Debao, who is currently the best in the soy sauce factory. Wang Zhong probably guessed what the reason was.
As expected, Qu Xiuzhen's face was full of excitement.
"The central government has decided that the college entrance examination will be resumed soon. If there are no accidents, this year's college entrance examination will be scheduled in winter, probably in December. The specific date has not been determined, but it is almost certain."
Qu Xiuzhen has always had a long-term vision. When she worked in a soy sauce factory, she often asked the young people in the factory to read more books and newspapers, and asked them to follow the radio to learn foreign languages in their free time.
Now that the central government has made such a decision, the college entrance examination that has been dormant for ten years has been resumed. How can Qu Xiuzhen, an old comrade who cares about the country, not be excited?
"Reinstate the college entrance examination?"
"Secretary Qu, are you telling the truth?"
Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan's expressions changed immediately. They were shocked, happy, suspicious, even dreamy, and then nervous and worried. Their expressions were so rich.
It is already late October. If it is really the college entrance examination in December, then there will only be more than a month left to review, less than two months at most.
It’s really a rush to prepare for the college entrance examination in such a short time.
"Of course it's true." Qu Xiuzhen was very happy, "You three are the most knowledgeable among the young people in the soy sauce factory, especially Bingkun. You must seize the opportunity this time."
"Don't worry, I will study hard and try to get into college."
"Don't you know in advance that the college entrance examination will be resumed?" Qu Xiuzhen looked at Wang Zhong who looked calm, but she was not very calm inside, and was a little surprised.
Ma Shouchang is now the leader of the provincial party committee, so he can know the news so quickly. Wang Zhong, an employee of a small soy sauce factory, although he is still a well-known writer, may have limited access to things, there is no reason to be better than them. Know first.
Just look at Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan, who are still in shock.
Wang Zhong smiled slightly and explained: "If a country wants to develop, it cannot do without talents from all walks of life. Nowadays, domestic education is basically at a standstill. It is only a matter of time that the college entrance examination is resumed. What's more, the one who has come back now has him It’s not strange that the old man is taking the lead!”
"Well said!" The first sentence spoke directly to Qu Xiuzhen's heart. She remembered that she had also studied at Renmin University for three years. It was these three years that Qu Xiuzhen benefited a lot from.
"If a country wants to develop and society wants to progress, it cannot be separated from outstanding talents from all walks of life. To cultivate talents, it is impossible to do without education."
"Bingkun, Bingkun, you are indeed a famous writer throughout Jiangliao. He really has a long-term vision!"
Come on, this little old lady got excited and said everything directly.
Wang Zhongdao: "*** teaches us to look at problems from a development perspective!"
"I knew you were a talent!" Ma Shouchang looked at Wang Zhong with satisfaction.
"Okay, I won't say much else. Don't spread this matter everywhere. Soon, the central government will publish it. After you go back, you should read more books, review well, and prepare well. This is not only an explanation to the country and unit that trained you, but also to yourselves."
The three of them said goodbye and were about to leave. When they were leaving, Qu Xiuzhen and Ma Shouchang grabbed Wang Zhong.
"Zhou Bingkun!" Ma Shouchang shouted.
"Arrived!" Wang Zhong immediately raised his chest and raised his head and responded loudly.
Qu Xiuzhen put her hands behind her back with a straight face and a rather unkind look in her eyes: "Stand at attention!"
"yes!"
Ma Shouchang looked reproachful: "You brat, it's been so long and you still don't know how to bring the children to see us. Why, are you tired of our old couple?"
"It's nothing!" Wang Zhong looked innocent: "Isn't it because there are too many things to take care of recently?"
Qu Xiuzhen looked serious: "This is not a reason."
"It's so busy!" Wang Zhong hurriedly explained: "The two little ones are noisy every day now, and my sister's daughter Yueyue is also restless. When I get home every night, I not only have to write manuscripts , I have to find time to review and prepare for the college entrance examination, I wish I could break the time in half."
The old couple looked a little better, but they still had straight faces. Ma Shouchang said directly: "I didn't ask you to come over. Who can see you brat? Send Zheng Juaner, Guangming and the children away later." Come here and let them play at home for the day, and I will ask the driver to take them back in the evening."
"You can also concentrate on writing your manuscript at home and reading and reviewing. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Qu Xiuzhen immediately added: "What Lao Ma means is what I mean."
"Huh?" When you think about it, it really makes sense, but why does it sound like you have become the redundant person.
"Ah for what!"
"Did you hear that?" The old couple clasped their hands behind each other, acting like leaders.
I have to say that the majesty of this old couple really cannot be overshadowed. With such a straight face, they are full of momentum.
Wang Zhong immediately surrendered: "I heard it, I heard it."
“Now that you’ve heard it, you have to do it!”
The old couple sang in harmony: "Comrade Zhou Bingkun, this is the task assigned to you by the organization, can you do it?"
"Report to Secretary Qu, Secretary Ma, you can do it!" Wang Zhong stood up, raised his chest, raised his head, saluted, and replied loudly.
"This is so ridiculous!"
The faces of the old couple showed smiles in unison, especially Lao Ma, who looked at Wang Zhong with a look of disgust: "If you don't leave quickly after knowing this, do you still want to stay for another midnight snack?"
These two old naughty boys.
Wang Zhong shouted: "Comrade Lao Ma, Comrade Lao Qu, you are a typical example of killing the donkey. You two are also old comrades. How can you do such a thing?"
The old couple looked at each other: "Old song, did I hear it wrong because of my hearing loss? Someone actually called me a donkey?"
Qu Xiuzhen looked at Wang Zhong with regretful eyes: "Old Ma, you heard me right. This kid may have written too many articles and his brain has gone wrong. He actually said that he was a donkey."
"I've never seen such a person before." He shook his head as he spoke, with a look of helplessness and regret on his face: "It's a pity, he was quite talented."
"Hey!" Lao Ma nodded and sighed in agreement, imitating Qu Xiuzhen and looking at Wang Zhong with a regretful expression: "It's really a pity." He sighed and shook his head.
The old couple talked in cross talk with each other.
Wang Zhong was dumbfounded by the old couple.
"I'm quite familiar with the man who sells tickets at the cinema entrance. Do you want me to talk to you and let you go to the cinema to act in a movie?"
