1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 326 Going out to be a matchmaker and asking for a week off

Cheng Ximi, Shi Tiesheng's later wife.

Lin Weimin has not read many works of contemporary writers in later generations, but he was deeply impressed by the relationship between Shi Tiesheng and his wife mentioned in his works.

In 79, Shi Tiesheng's first work "The Destiny of Love" was published in Northwestern University's journal "Hope", which attracted the attention of Cheng Ximi, who was studying at Northwestern University at the time.

At that time, Cheng Ximi was the editor of "Hope". Out of admiration for Shi Tiesheng, she wrote a letter to Shi Tiesheng, and their lives intersected.For the next ten years, the two kept in touch with each other.

It wasn't until Shi Tie became seriously ill in 89 that Cheng Ximi rushed to Yanjing from Shaanxi when he heard the news.

For Shi Tiesheng's life, ten years is too long.

Such a beautiful time, they should have each other as soon as possible, Lin Weimin plans to be a moon old today.

Shi Tiesheng's eyes were somewhat resentful, and Lin Weimin's skin was covered with goosebumps.

"Don't look like that, okay? I seem to have done something outrageous."

Facing Shi Tiesheng, a "big guy" in his 30s, Lin Weimin finally showed mercy, not going too far.

He asked seriously: "Is this girl graduated too? When will I make an appointment to meet you in Yanjing!"

Shi Tiesheng got over the initial embarrassment and said, "She's in Shaanxi, it's inconvenient."

There was a bit of unconfidence in his words, and he was obviously looking for excuses.

"You are old and young, so let's meet if we have a suitable chat!"

Shi Tiesheng said again: "We are pen pals, pen pals!"

"What pen pal? Don't think I don't know. You kid has evil intentions. Why haven't I seen you correspond with other male compatriots for several years?"

Lin Weimin mercilessly exposed Shi Tiesheng's little thoughts.

Shi Tiesheng pursed his lips, and said firmly: "We are pure pen pals."

"Yes, you are so pure. You are just pen pals who have been communicating with each other for five years."

Lin Weimin said in a strange way, causing shyness to appear on Shi Tiesheng's face again.

"Looking at you like this, I'm worried for you. If you like someone, take the initiative!" Lin Weimin continued to bewitch.

Shi Tiesheng didn't speak this time, but just shook his head.

Lin Weimin finally stopped teasing him, instead he pushed his wheelchair, and said in a warm voice, "You are not bad in your usual attire. It's a pity that you are still exposed in front of love!"

Shi Tiesheng said stiffly, "What have I exposed?"

"It exposed your cowardice, timidity, and low self-esteem!"

"Don't think that I will fall for your aggressive tactics!" Shi Tiesheng saw through Lin Weimin's trick at a glance.

"What's a trick? I'm just telling the truth. Do you admit that you are cowardly, timid, and inferior?" Lin Weimin asked again.

Shi Tiesheng stopped talking again, of course he knew that he was inferior and cowardly.

"Think about it clearly, this girl has been communicating with you for several years, right? If she is not interested in you, can she communicate with you for such a long time?
Are you 34 this year?If you are not in a hurry, can other girls not be in a hurry?After another two years, the girl is old, can she still accompany you through this?
At that time, if people really meet Mr. Ruyi and get married, you will have nowhere to cry! "

Lin Weimin's words made Shi Tiesheng fall into silence.

As a result, when the copper hot pot and hot-boiled mutton were served at noon, Shi Tiesheng was a little indifferent.

Shi Lan stared at his brother for a long time, not knowing what kind of trouble he had today.

This meal, what Shi Tiesheng ate had no taste, it tasted like chewing wax.

Shi Lan pulled Lin Weimin aside when she was cleaning up the dishes, "What did you two say in the room just now? Why is he like that?"

Lin Weimin didn't answer her question, "Shi Lan, let me ask you, do you want more sisters-in-law?"

Shi Lan gave Lin Weimin a strange look in his eyes, could it be that...

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Weimin scolded her angrily, and then said: "Your brother's female pen pal who has been communicating with me for several years..."

"I know, I know, Cheng Ximi!"

Lin Weimin asked, "Is she a nice girl?"

Shi Lan shook her head, "I don't know! It's my brother who wrote to her, and I haven't read their letters. Besides, I haven't even met anyone!"

"These days, she must be a good girl who can communicate for several years!"

"Brother Lin, I think your thinking is wrong!"

"Stop arguing with me!" Lin Weimin reprimanded her again, and continued: "Your brother is old too, are you not in a hurry?"

Shi Lan glanced at Shi Tiesheng, he must be anxious, but his brother's body...

"Okay, don't read it. If you have time, try to persuade your brother. He spends all day on philosophy, literature, and history, but he is so slow-moving and anticipating the major events of his own life."

"understood."

After lunch, Lin Weimin left with the Cengfan duo.

Back home, Lin Weimin was busy writing novels without distraction.

At night, just as I was about to go to bed after washing up, I heard a rapid knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw that it was Shi Lan's flushed face.

"What's going on? Why are you here?"

Shi Lan gasped and said, "My brother, my brother..."

"What's wrong with your brother?"

"My brother let you go!"

"You girl, why are you panting so much for talking?"

After Lin Weimin got dressed, he went downstairs to start the car, put Shi Lan's bicycle in the trunk, and drove all the way to the Lama Temple with the back cover open.

Entering No. 26 courtyard, Lin Weimin saw Shi Tiesheng with a bit of complacency on his face.

"What's the matter? Do you understand? Why are you looking for me?"

Shi Tiesheng stared at Lin Weimin, and asked after a long while, "Then tell me, what should I do now?"

"What else can I do? Confession! If you think the efficiency of writing letters is too slow, I can take you to Shaanxi to confess to her face to face. You young people are impatient, I understand!"

When Lin Weimin spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Shi Tiesheng, like a bustard who seduces a woman from a good family into the sea.

When Shi Tiesheng said "confession in person", there seemed to be a flash of light in Shi Tiesheng's eyes, but it dimmed again in an instant.

"It's too far away, it's inconvenient."

"What's the inconvenience? It takes three or four days to go back and forth. If you succeed, you can get a daughter-in-law back, and you won't lose!"

"Didn't you still want to go back to northern Shaanxi to have a look? Just take this opportunity to do everything together."

Lin Weimin kept bewitching him, shaking Shi Tiesheng's weak will again and again.

Shi Tiesheng was in northern Shaanxi when he joined the queue, and "My Distant Qingping Bay", which made him famous in the literary world, described his life in northern Shaanxi as a queue jumper. It was the place he dreamed of, and he often mentioned it to Lin Weimin before. I want to go back and take a look.

"Since you haven't thought about it, I'll go back first."

Lin Weimin saw that Shi Tiesheng was full of hesitation, and there was no movement for a long time, so he got up directly.

"For the people!"

Shi Tiesheng stopped him, "You pick me up tomorrow morning, we go to Shaanxi!"

He looked at Lin Weimin with firm eyes.

Lin Weimin wanted to say, what are you waiting for tomorrow morning, let's take an instant trip now.

But considering Shi Tiesheng's body, Lin Weimin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, let's go to Shaanxi!"

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I left Shi Tiesheng's house.

Lin Weimin thought for a while, and drove to the Guowen Society.

The bright headlights shook Uncle Zhai who was on duty in the mail room. The old man was wearing a cotton jacket and came to the gate, "Who is it?"

"Uncle Zhai, I am for the people!"

"For the people? Why are you here?"

Uncle Zhai opened the locked door, Lin Weimin said, "I'm here to ask for leave!"

Uncle Zhai was at a loss, "Ask for leave? What kind of leave are you asking for at night?"

The two walked back to the hair room, and Lin Weimin asked, "Master Zhai, do you have any pens and paper?"

"Yes!" Uncle Zhai found a pen and paper and handed it to Lin Weimin.

Lin Weimin took it over, and after a while, a leave note was written.

Then handed the leave slip to Uncle Zhai, "You will hand it over to Lao Meng tomorrow morning!"

Uncle Zhai took the leave note, hesitantly said: "For the people, it's not good to do this...?"

"It's okay. I'm busy with business. The leader must understand."

"That's fine."

Uncle Zhai put away the leave note, and Lin Weimin went to the office to get a letter of introduction, and the operation was smooth and smooth.

If he didn't know the truth, Uncle Zhai really wanted to send this kid to the police station.

With this set of operations, shutting you down for half a month is not too much, right?

"Okay, let's go, Uncle Zhai!"

Uncle Zhai looked at Lin Weimin's back and shook his head helplessly.

Young man, you are so courageous!

Went home and rested for the night.

In the morning, Lin Weimin ran to Shi Tiesheng's house with a bag after breakfast. Shi Tiesheng's eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he didn't sleep much last night.

"Tiesheng, let's go!"

He put the crown on Shi Tiesheng's back, put the wheelchair into the car, and drove straight to the train station.

"Aren't you going to work to ask for leave?" Shi Tiesheng asked.

"Don't worry, we're all done!" Lin Weimin said confidently.

When Crown came to Yanjing Station, Lin Weimin stopped the car, pushed Shi Tiesheng to the ticket office, bought the earliest train to Shaanxi, and waited for about two hours to get on the train.

When the train started, Shi Tiesheng looked out of the window, feeling extremely melancholy.

Lin Weimin comforted: "Comrade Tiesheng, you have to have some confidence in yourself. After all, you are a famous writer. If Comrade Ximi is not a mini fan, how could he take the initiative to write to you? When we go back, let's fight for her." Take it down!"

Shi Tiesheng looked at Lin Weimin helplessly, "If only I had your blind self-confidence!"

"You are boring!"

Lin Weimin picked up a boiled egg stuffed by Father Shi before he left, and stuffed it into his mouth.

At this time, the Guowen Society, the back building.

Meng Weizai looked at the fluttering and endless leave slips in his hand, his head was buzzing, and his blood pressure kept going up.

"He wrote it?"

Uncle Zhai shook his head, "Yes, I wrote it in the middle of the night last night."

Meng Weizai slapped the note on the table angrily, "This bastard! Two days ago, Lao Yan just warned him to keep a low profile, this bastard! It's unreasonable!"

There were eight words written on the note: "Going out to be a matchmaker, please take a week off!"
