Chapter 631 Maternity Leave Becomes Creative Leave

Lin Weimin enjoys the joy of making tiles for the first time.

In the past few years, his work has become more and more busy, and it is rare for Jian Tianer to stay at home and enjoy life.

After the first few days of exploration, the division of labor for children is now clear.

At night, Lin Weimin and his wife are in charge. During the day, the burden of childcare is mainly on Tao's mother and sister Sun, and Lin Weimin and his wife make up for sleep.

But Tao Huimin was miserable, unable to sleep through the night, and would be woken up by Tao's mother every two hours to feed the baby.

After hearing the news of his granddaughter's birth, Father Tao also came to Yanjing. He brought a bunch of things with him, all of which were supplements for Tao Huimin.

When Mother Tao was holding the baby, Father Tao would habitually follow her behind, teasing Xiaodoubao.

Xiaodoubao has already opened her eyes, big and energetic, shiny, crystal clear like crystal, carved out of the same mold as her mother Tao Huimin.

Occasionally seeing grandpa's strange movements and expressions, Xiaodoubao would also let out a crisp and childish laughter, which made people feel happy.

Tao's mother was tired of carrying the baby, so she handed it to Tao's father, who excitedly took the little bean bag as a treasure.

"After thinking about it, I'd better do an internal retreat." Father Tao made up his mind.

Tao's father still has two or three years to retire. Before Xiaodoubao was born, it was originally agreed that Tao's mother would come to Yanjing to take care of the child first.

But this time when I came to Yanjing, I really saw my granddaughter, what job and retirement salary are not as important as my granddaughter's hair.

Mother Tao has no objection to this, her wife came to Yanjing, and the family is reunited, which is a good thing.

During lunch, Tao Huimin asked Lin Weimin, "Have you thought about it? Write something?"

"I'm still thinking about it. Writing a novel is not about going to the toilet. How can I get so much inspiration?"

In fact, Lin Weimin is not without inspiration, but is thinking about how to "learn from".

The works written for the daughter must be children's books with innocence and fun. Lin Weimin has rarely read such books, and the amount of reading and viewing is relatively small.

Speaking of children's books, the first thing that pops into his mind is the "Harry Potter" series.

But the "Harry Potter" series is Western fantasy, which is a bit out of place.Besides, JK Rowling is a single mother, she relies on this novel to turn herself into a serf and sing, and let herself be wiped out. Wouldn't she be lost for the rest of her life?
For young women, Mr. Lin can't be cruel.

If you want to squeeze, you have to squeeze some "rich people".

Are you right, Hayao Miyazaki?

Speaking of it, Hayao Miyazaki's animations are completely different from Hollywood animation films. The imagination is magnificent, full of innocence and purity, and tenderness. Among all the animation films that Lin Weimin has watched, his works are his favorite.

Especially the movie "My Neighbor Totoro", Lin Weimin really thinks it is very suitable as a gift for children.

The breeze blows across the fields, the stream flows through the jungle, the cute little girl, the warm-hearted neighbors, and the chinchilla who descended from the sky like a patron saint, all of which paint the beauty of the world.

It's a pity that this movie was released in 88, and Lin Weimin had to change his target.

After much deliberation, he set his sights on the movie "Spirited Away".

"Spirited Away" is Hayao Miyazaki's pinnacle work. It tells the story of the girl Chihiro who moved to a new home with her parents, but accidentally broke into a temple and came to a different world: a bustling bathing street dedicated to providing services for gods. , the parents were turned into pigs because they ate the delicacies prepared for the gods.

In order to save her parents and return to the real world, Chihiro goes through hardships and trials, uses her innocence to save herself from dangers, and makes many new friends.

The story of "Spirited Away" is slightly inferior to "My Neighbor Totoro" in terms of innocence and purity, but the adventure elements and philosophical thinking in it are what "My Neighbor Totoro" lacks. Compared with "My Neighbor Totoro", "Spirited Away" "The story is more adult-oriented, but still innocent, which is very suitable for Lin Weimin's "bringing doctrine".

With a general idea, Lin Weimin walked into the study.

In the different world of "Spirited Away", there are all kinds of strange creatures and gods. These characters have unique personalities and characteristics, which add more mystery and fantasy to the film. The depiction of elements creates a distinct different world in the film, allowing the audience to feel the mystery and danger in the different world.

Among these elements, many are unique to Nibo, including the scenes in the movie, food and drink, and even the behavior of the characters, all of which have to be modified.

Lin Weimin is familiar with the plot of "Spirited Away" by heart, and the speed of the magic reform is very fast, and he has a sense of "the husband is now committing crimes" inexplicably in his heart.

With the goal of creation anchored, Lin Weimin has completely entered the state of creation, and he can't take care of his children.

When Tao Huimin coaxed the child at night, she couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the study, feeling a little regretful.

I knew I should let him write after the maternity leave is over, but now, the maternity leave has become a creative leave.

For several days in a row, Lin Weimin's energy was devoted to writing. Except for Tao Huimin's slight resentment, Tao's father and Tao's mother strongly supported him.

In the eyes of the two elders, their son-in-law is the Wenqu star descending from the sky, and when inspiration comes to create, that is the biggest thing in this family.

With so many people in the family, isn't it more than enough to look after a child?
This afternoon, when it was almost time for dinner, Lin Weimin came out of the study, and Tao Huimin asked about the progress of his creation.

"I've written [-] to [-] words. I plan to write a short novel. It will take a while. I don't think I can finish it before I go to work."

After hearing this, Tao Huimin sighed, "It's so fast, Xiaodoubao was born twelve days ago."

Lin Weimin laughed and said, "It's only been twelve days, where do you feel so emotional?"

Tao Huimin gave him a blank look, "If you don't look at your child, of course you don't feel it. I didn't know it until I became a mother. Being a mother is not easy."

Lin Weimin probably understood Tao Huimin's subtext: These days, my mother's life feels like years.

He said quietly to Tao Huimin: "When you are confinement, I will take you to eat Maxim, okay?"

When Tao Huimin heard the words, her tongue became salivary, and the slight dissatisfaction with her husband for not watching the children immediately dissipated.

But at the same time, she became vigilant again, and said, "It's okay to be greedy when you're pregnant, but why do you say I'm still greedy after giving birth?"

She said, looking down at her figure with a sad face.

She is an actress by profession, and she pays special attention to her external conditions.

Lin Weimin took her hand, "You are still recovering after giving birth. Think about it, you weighed 140 catties before you gave birth, and in just a few days, you have already dropped to 110 catties. Don't worry, after a while In two or three months, you don't need to lose weight, and you will automatically return to the state before pregnancy."

Tao Huimin felt a little happy when he heard his words, Lin Weimin leaned into her ear again at this moment, "And you now..."

Lin Weimin whispered a few words into Tao Huimin's ear, and she immediately blushed shyly, and hit him twice reproachfully.

"I'm going to kill you!"

The tender and charming young woman's demeanor made Teacher Lin's heart sway.

This confinement is really a delay!

Half a month of maternity leave flew by, and just after May Day, Lin Weimin appeared in the Guowen Society full of energy.

The car entered the courtyard and got out of the car. It was time for work, and there were people coming and going in the courtyard of the Guowen Society. Lin Weimin hadn't appeared in the society for half a month, and immediately became the focus of attention of his colleagues as soon as he got off the car.

"Congratulations to Editor-in-Chief Lin!"

"Mr. Lin, congratulations on your daughter!"

My ears are full of words of blessing from my colleagues. The colleagues who can visit his house are all relatively close, such as Cheng Zaochun and several agency leaders, as well as some colleagues from the editorial department of "Contemporary". I didn't go to Lin Weimin's house to congratulate him.

After accepting everyone's congratulations, Lin Weimin came to the front of the building with ease.

Uncle Zhai has become more and more old in recent years. When he saw Lin Weimin, he smiled and congratulated Lin Weimin.

He watched Lin Weimin join the agency. For more than ten years, he has witnessed Lin Weimin's experience step by step, from ordinary editor-in-chief to deputy editor-in-chief, to chief editor, and then to chief editor.

Now that Lin Weimin even has a child, Uncle Zhai couldn't help sighing.

"Time flies so fast, more than ten years have passed in a flash."

The uncle of the Guowen Society, the soldier of the water, the uncle Zhai has lost three presidents in these years, and Lin Weimin doesn't know where he sighed.

Probably because I regret not being able to get away with myself.

"It's time for you to retire, too?"

"Soon, September this year." Uncle Zhai said.

"Okay, it's time for a change, new people, new atmosphere!"

Lin Weimin's one-liner almost made Uncle Zhai go berserk, "I'm already the editor-in-chief, and I'm not in shape yet!"

Lin Weimin ran a long way before shouting to Uncle Zhai: "I'll treat you to dinner on the day you retire!"

Uncle Zhai looked at his back and smiled a bit, "Stinky boy! This is more or less the same."

Going upstairs, Cheng Zaochun waited for a few minutes before arriving at the office, chatting about the situation in the agency for the past half month.

The Contemporary Popular Literature Symposium was held just a few days ago at the Yanjing Hotel. More than 40 publishing houses and magazines across the country participated in the conference, among which there were many famous popular literature figures, accounting for almost half of the domestic popular literature. The two-day event was huge and attracted a lot of media attention.

The news about the seminar on contemporary popular literature has appeared in the newspapers these days, which has caused considerable repercussions in the literary world.

This contemporary popular literature symposium is the first time that popular literature in China has been presented in front of the public in such a solemn manner, which has greatly boosted the morale of popular literature practitioners and publishers.

Cheng Zaochun narrated the situation of the seminar and the subsequent response, the smile on his face could not be controlled.

The most valuable tangible asset for a publishing house is book copyright, and the most valuable intangible asset, apart from author resources, is the influence of the publishing house.

Although this contemporary popular literature seminar was organized by Guowenshe, it was still sponsored by Tongwenshe in name. Influence.

Of course, this kind of influence will not last long, and what is more important depends on the future development of News Agency.

Cheng Zaochun recalled the grand occasion of the meeting, feeling somewhat nostalgic.

"Oh! It's unlucky to catch up this time. You have something to do at home. We will have a meeting next time, and I will definitely let you show your face."

Lin Weimin said: "The meeting went well, you should come next time."

"Or me? How inappropriate! Haha!"

Cheng Zaochun said so, but he didn't refuse.

Old comrade, quite vain!
