1980 My Literary Era

Chapter 36 Mentor
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Weimin and Qu Xiaowei returned from Shi Tiesheng's home to Chaoyang District Party School D. When they were having dinner in the evening, they saw a group of people gathered around Jiang Zilong.

Lin Weimin leaned over and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"For the people, don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

"The institute is going to assign a tutor to each of our students."

"tutor?"

"Yeah, just like those college students. Don't you know, our Literary Association once applied to the Ministry of Education to grant a master's degree to the students of our Lecture Institute after training, but unfortunately the Ministry of Education did not agree , saying that our conditions are not up to standard.”

Jiang Zilong's tone was full of pity.

Lin Weimin didn't care about it. As far as the conditions for running a school are concerned, it would be a ghost if it can meet the standards. The leaders above really dare to think about it!
"So..." Gu Hua suddenly stared at Lin Weimin, "Blessed are you, kid!"

"How to say?"

"You forgot? Mr. Wan asked for your manuscript today. I think it's probably because the teachers recommended you to Mr. He asked for your manuscript to inspect you."

Lin Weimin realized later that it would be great if it was true as everyone said.

After two days of observation, the students also discovered that now every lecturer will be invited to the office by the teachers to have a heart-to-heart talk after giving a lecture.

Sure enough, a few days later, after the last class in the afternoon, Tang Yuqiu walked to the podium.

"Students, I would like to share a piece of good news with you today. After the research by the leaders of our institute and the communication with the lecturers, in the future, each student in our class will be assigned a highly respected mentor according to the creative direction ..."

Hearing these words, the students became agitated. Although they had guessed it a few days ago, they were still a little excited when Teacher Tang announced it.

In the early stages of the Lecture Institute, there were only large classes, and there were very few opportunities to contact and study with the lecturers in private. Now the institute assigns a tutor to each student. For everyone, this is naturally a very precious learning opportunity.

"Ms. Tang, Mr. Tang, how are the tutors assigned? Who is my tutor?"

"Teacher Tang, can I choose Mr. Nie Gannu?"

……

Everyone didn't wait for Tang Yuqiu to finish speaking, they interrupted in a hurry, and the cafeteria was suddenly chaotic.

"Everything is quiet!"

Tang Yuqiu let out a cry, cleared the environment of the cafeteria, and then said: "As I said just now, the mentors are selected according to everyone's creative direction, and they have been assigned now. Let me make an announcement..."

"Huang Anyi, Qu Xiaowei, Guo Yudao, the mentor of the three of you is Teacher Jin Jin."

"Qiao Yundian, Jia Dasan, Han Shishan, your mentor is Teacher Wang Yuanjian."

……

"Lin Weimin, the mentor is Mr. Wan Jiabao."

There were 34 students in the class, all in groups of three at the front, only when it came to Lin Weimin, Mr. Wan Jiabao was the only student, and all the students around him cast envious looks at him.

This kid, he stepped on shit luck!

Lin Weimin felt the same way.

"Thunderstorm" and Mr. Wan's status in the Chinese literary and drama circles have been recognized for decades.

To arrange students for the instructors in the institute, it is necessary to wait for the consent of the teachers in advance. Mr. Wan can agree to accept him, which proves that he is satisfied with himself.

Lin Weimin thought of the half-written manuscript taken away by Mr. Wan. Am I so good now?

He immediately warned himself, don't drift, don't drift, it's all thanks to the original work and has nothing to do with you.

After calming down for a while, Lin Weimin finally calmed down. Facing the envious eyes of his classmates, he remained calm.

The more this time, the more you have to be calm, we are people who have seen the world.

The tutor assignment was announced quickly, and after Teacher Tang left, the class fell into complete chaos.

Everyone discusses the assigned tutors, and the tutors are determined according to everyone's creative direction.

For example, the group of Huang Anyi, Qu Xiaowei, and Guo Yudao are all biased towards children's literature. Huang Anyi's essay is based on the short story "Who is the Future Squadron Leader", and Qu Xiaowei's work is "Xiaowei Wei "...

Everyone is generally satisfied with the distribution results in the institute, but when talking about Lin Weimin, they couldn't hide their envious eyes.

What does it mean to be favored by the emperor alone?Just look at this kid and you will know.

The topic of assigning a tutor has been a hot topic in the Institute of Literature and Arts for a few days, and then some students have received news from their tutors, most of them are notified to go to the tutor's house to identify the door, and listen to the teachings by the way.

Lin Weimin waited for several days, but there was no notification from Mr. Wan Jiabao, and he was a little disappointed.

Fortunately, he was not alone in this situation. An Shishan, Jiao Yundian and Jia Dashan who were assigned to Mr. Wang Yuanjian had the same experience as him.

After waiting for several days, An Shishan couldn't help complaining when he didn't see his mentor calling.

"It's really difficult to wait foolishly. It's like a bitter woman. Then I think about the study in the past few months, it seems that I haven't made any progress, it's a mess!"

He was just complaining, when Teacher Tang Yuqiu found him in front of the big guys, "It's Shan, Mr. Xie Mingqing from the National Literature Publishing House is looking for you, and asked you to go to their place when you have time, and want to talk to you. "

An Shishan, who had a sad face and full of complaints just now, immediately revived when he heard the news, took a few mouthfuls of food from the lunch box, got up and left gracefully.

There is a sense of elation of "laughing up to the sky and going out, my generation is from Penghao".

Huang Zonghan looked at it and shook his head, "Lao An's concentration is not enough!"

Turning to look at the oily Lin Weimin, he also shook his head and sighed without saying a word.

Lin Weimin guessed that his general thinking was that even Lao An has been hooked up with an editor, and you haven't heard anything, shame on you!

Old Huang, you are drifting away again!
Lin Weimin does not have the anxiety of An Shishan. It is a good thing to be selected by Mr. Wan as a student, but he also has to understand that some things are just icing on the cake, and it depends on himself to really gain a foothold.

A few days later, news came out that they were going to Beidaihe for vacation, and the students immediately cheered.

Seeing that it will be July and the weather in Yanjing is extremely hot, it is a perfect match to go to Beidaihe at this time.

Before the leaders and teachers of the institute officially announced the news, the students had already taken action.

It is often a group of several people who go to Yanjing City to buy travel supplies.

This morning, Lin Weimin and Qu Xiaowei went out together. Today is Shi Tiesheng's moving day, and they are going to help.

When they went out, they met Huang Anyi, Tang Kangmei, and Ye Xin. The three of them were also going out, saying that they were going to Wangfujing to buy some things for Beidaihe vacation.

Lin Weimin looked at the backs of several people, a little dazed, "What should I prepare for vacation?"

Qu Xiaowei once again found a sense of superiority in front of him, "You are incomprehensible!"

Lin Weimin felt insulted, the man was the one who wanted to cut down the entire forest.

"Your uncle!"

"You ~ uncle!"
