1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 684 Life Mentor
Lin Weimin patted Cheng Zaochun on the shoulder, "Old Cheng, your task is very heavy in the next period of time!"

Cheng Zaochun couldn't help but twitched twice, he withdrew the regret in his heart, and only wanted to send Lin Weimin four big words: You have to blame yourself!

No, you deserve it!
"Don't be so hippie!" Cheng Zaochun scolded him, "What are you going to do next?"

"What should I do? Didn't you listen to the leader? I've stopped (fang) job (jia), and I have to take a good rest. I've been exhausted for the past two years!"

Like a recidivist just released from prison, Lin Weimin stretched himself, ready to enjoy the free air and sunshine.

Cheng Zaochun suddenly felt unbalanced in his heart. This kid was disorganized and undisciplined. He was warned and suspended, but he was unrestrained, and he had to work hard.

This is not fair!

"Anyway, they're all suspended, so don't be idle, just organize a national book signing for the writers who have signed contracts with Buhuo Series."

After being stabbed in the back by Lao Cheng, Lin Weimin was furious, "Old Cheng, you're acting like you're doing the same thing! The leaders even told me to suspend (fang) my job (jia)!"

"I didn't suspend you. This is all your personal arrangement during your suspension."

"If I don't go, whoever wants to go will go."

Cheng Zaochun saw that the hard ones were not good enough, so he had no choice but to be soft.

"Weimin, look at you. Once you are suspended from work, it will be three months. If you are idle at home, you will be idle. Ten days and a half months are fine. If this time is long, you will definitely not feel comfortable.

You haven't had any new works for more than a year, right?

Going out this time is to relax, pick up stories, and experience life! "

Lin Weimin glanced at Lao Cheng, although he knew that this fellow had a heart to let him work, but what he said was not unreasonable.

The holiday lasted for three months. As a holiday, it was a bit long, and it was a bit tiring to stay at home all the time. It would be nice to adjust it, but he reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, okay. But let's say it first, I'm just going to relax."

"Don't worry, there are several people under you!"

After chatting with Lao Cheng, Lin Weimin explained some work, and left the Guowen Society in a cool manner.

At this time, the news that he was suspended again spread quickly throughout the Guowen Society, and his colleagues were already numb.

Why are you suspended again?
Counting, how many times has this happened?

I feel that others have been suspended for a lifetime, not as many as Lin Weimin has been suspended for a few years.

Moreover, what is the reason for the suspension this time?I haven't heard of any mistakes made by the editor-in-chief recently!
Or else, the power of the people is great, everyone gathered together to discuss and analyze, and soon some people put the cause of the suspension on the recently rumored "job transfer".

During this period of time, not only people from the radio and television system, but also people from the National Cultural Agency have heard about Lin Weimin's possible transfer to the Film Bureau.

There must be a reason for the groundless rumors.

This is true in all likelihood, but now it is suddenly reported that Lin Weimin has been suspended from his job. What's going on?
It is common for Lin Weimin to return home at seven or eight o'clock in the evening on weekdays, but today he came back right after lunch. Tao Huimin asked in surprise, "Why did you come back at this hour?"

"Suspended." Lin Weimin said honestly.

"Suspended again?"

Tao Huimin's tone was a little surprised, but not surprised.

Counting this time, Lin Weimin has been suspended for the third time.

Lin Weimin was dissatisfied, "What do you mean by 'you'? You use the word 'you' as if I will never change it!"

Tao Huimin gave him a blank look, "If you have time to spend with me, you might as well take care of the child. It just so happens that this time it's also a holiday and cultivate a relationship with the child. She is busy with work all day, and she won't even kiss you anymore."

"Nonsense! My daughter's favorite is Dad!"

Lin Weimin took off his shirt, washed his face, and took the little bean bag from Sister Sun.

"Come on, big girl, let Dad kiss you well!"

As he said that, his old face came close to Xiaodoubao's tender and fresh face. Xiaodoubao twisted her body to resist. Now she only knows a few simple words, and she resists in her heart, but she can't say it out of her mouth. She can only shout: "Daddy! Daddy!"

"You haven't even shaved, you're pinching her." Tao Huimin said angrily.

Lin Weimin sucked Xiaodoubao's face twice, then switched to his hair, and kissed him hard again.

"It's better to stay at home!"

Lin Weimin couldn't help sighing as he held his daughter's soft and waxy body in his arms.

Tao Huimin said, "Let's go to my parents for dinner tonight."

"OK, let's give Sister Sun and Sister Qin half a day off in the afternoon."

Since Xiaodoubao was born, Tao's father and Tao's mother have been taking care of her. Now Xiaodoubao will be [-] months soon.

When she was one year old, Tao Huimin talked with Tao's father and Tao's mother.Both of them are retired now, and they can't put all their energy on their granddaughter, they have to find something for themselves.

For more than a year, the two nannies in the family, Sister Sun and Sister Qin, have performed very well, and the small bean buns have grown, so they are relieved.

Tao's father and Tao's mother are good-hearted, and they come over two days a week to take care of their granddaughter, and enjoy life in the rest of the time, doing whatever they like. In the past few months, they have lived happily like a fairy.

Tao Huimin told Sister Sun and Sister Qin that it was a holiday in the afternoon, and they both said yes, but neither of them moved, and they didn't feel the joy of having a holiday at all.

It's midsummer now, and it's the hottest time of the year in Yanjing City. Even if it's a holiday, they don't want to go out. They might as well stay at home. The yard is cool, the house has air conditioning, and none of the work they should do is missed. It's like not having a holiday.

When it was around four o'clock in the afternoon, the heat was not so hot, Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin came to Father Tao and Mother Tao with the little bean buns.

Hearing Tao Huimin say that Lin Weimin had been suspended, Tao's father and Tao's mother were worried, but Tao Huimin said indifferently: "I'm used to him being suspended every two years."

Mother Tao asked, "Why did you suspend your job? Did you make a mistake?"

As soon as she finished asking, she was stunned by Father Tao, whose eyes hinted at which pot she should not open and which pot to lift.

Tao Huimin smiled and said: "It's not a mistake. They wanted to transfer him to be the director of the Film Bureau, but he didn't do it. It made the big boss unhappy, so he was suspended."

Father Tao pondered: "Oh, then this is a refusal to obey the organization's deployment, and it's not a trivial matter!"

"It's okay, just treat it as a holiday." Lin Weimin said nonchalantly.

Father Tao and Mother Tao looked at each other, and didn't talk about this topic any more.

My son-in-law is famous, and the money he earns won't be earned by others for a few lifetimes. Even if he quits being the editor-in-chief, he can still live well, so there is really no need to worry.

Today it was rare for the daughter and son-in-law to bring their granddaughter. Father Tao and mother Tao prepared a table of dishes. After everyone finished eating, they chatted under the shade of the jujube tree in the yard.

While talking, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and then an old lady came in.

Seemingly an acquaintance, Mother Tao got up to meet the old lady, "Old sister, you are here!"

The old lady looked surprised when she saw Lin Weimin, "There are guests at home, oops, then I'll come back another day."

Mother Tao hurried forward to hold her back, "It's okay, it's my daughter and son-in-law who brought their granddaughter to dinner."

Mother Tao took the old lady to sit down, and Tao Huimin went to pour a glass of water for the old lady. Mother Tao introduced to Lin Weimin: "This is the neighbor Sister Ni, the mother of Li Chengru."

"Hi aunt!"

Lin Weimin and his wife greeted Li's mother, and Lin Weimin said: "I saw Chengru last year, and he gave me a box of cigars, and told the two families to move around more!"

Hearing Lin Weimin mentioning his son, Mother Li's smile was a bit forced.

Mother Tao had a strange look in her eyes, and said to Mother Li, "He doesn't know about this yet!"

Mother Li smiled bitterly, "It's okay."

Lin Weimin looked suspicious, and Mother Tao explained: "There is something wrong with Chengru's business."

Li's mother went on to say: "It's good to open a clothing store at first, so I have to fiddle with some foreign exchange. That thing is similar to gambling. I made a lot of money before, but it was said that I lost it all a while ago. Not only the money Lost everything, and even got into the business."

Lin Weimin pretended to be surprised. Of course he knew about Li Chengru's bankruptcy.

He comforted: "Ma'am, it's okay. Cheng Ru is still young, in his 30s, and the days are long. Two years is enough for him to recover."

Mother Li sighed: "I think so too. But after all, it's such a big business. After so many years of operation, it's a failure. Even I am worried, let alone a child. I, come to you Come on, there is still a place to talk. He, now lies at home every day, without saying a word..."

The son's life has encountered such a big setback, and Li's mother, as a mother, naturally felt uncomfortable, and she was a little choked up as she spoke.

Lin Weimin said a few more words of comfort. He felt that it was not convenient for Li's mother to talk to Tao's mother when he was here, so he said, "I'll go and see Chengru, you two talk first."

Lin Weimin got up to go out. He thought that last time Li Chengru gave him a box of cigars, and he couldn't go empty-handed even if he came to visit him.

After thinking about it, I went to the Wangfujing Bookstore not far from here to buy a hardcover version of "The Ordinary World", and then came back and knocked on the door of Li's courtyard.

After a long time, someone came to open the door.

Li Chengru opened the door for Lin Weimin with a haggard and unshaven face. When he saw Lin Weimin, his expression was very surprised.

"Mr. Lin, why are you here?"

"Just now your mother went to my mother-in-law's to chat and talked about you. Come and see you."

The bankruptcy of the business is a new wound for Li Chengru now, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, "Please come in quickly."

The Li family's yard is similar to the one that Tao's father and Tao's mother live in now, with two entrances.

Lin Weimin entered the house, and Li Chengru poured him a cup of tea.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Weimin said, "Your mother has already talked about you, isn't there a lot of pressure recently?"

Li Chengru smiled wryly, did not speak, lowered his head, and showed Lin Weimin the top of his head, "Look at it!"

On the top of Li Chengru's head, there are a few bald spots, which can't be found without looking at it this way.

Lin Weimin said lightly, "Why don't you shave your head bald!"

Li Chengru stood there in a daze, his first reaction when he heard Lin Weimin's words was to get angry, you still play cymbals on me now that I am like this.

But suddenly, his anger disappeared, because he wanted to understand that Lin Weimin's words were definitely not to amuse him deliberately.

Li Chengru is a smart man who knows everything, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make such a big business.

"You're right, it's time to shave."

Lin Weimin laughed, and then talked about the anecdote about the year "Stubborn Master" was released, and a group of them tried to shave Ge You bald. Li Chengru listened to it with great interest, but he didn't expect that Mr. Lin was also a bad friend when he got along with his friends.

At this time, Lin Weimin said with special meaning: "That year, I told Yuko: shave it, shave it, and you will be angry."

Li Chengru nodded solemnly after thinking about it for a moment, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your guidance."

Lin Weimin patted him on the shoulder, and put the set of "Ordinary World" in front of him, "You can read it when you have time, this book can inspire people."

From the moment he entered the door, Li Chengru noticed the book in Lin Weimin's hand and knew that he must have given it to him.

He remembered the time last winter when he was full of ambition and carried himself away. At that time, when he saw Lin Weimin, he gave Lin Weimin a box of cigars worth hundreds of meters.

At that time, he may not have a kind of show off.After all, when he met Lin Weimin back then, Lin Weimin was already a well-known writer, but he was just a nobody at that time.

Of course, the price of a set of "Ordinary World" cannot compare with his box of cigars, but Li Chengru felt a sense of shame when he looked at this set of books.

A box of cigars is dispensable to Teacher Lin.

But this "Ordinary World" is a good medicine to heal his heart disease.

It turns out that I, who used to be so arrogant, can't even give gifts.

All the shame turned into bitterness flowed into his heart, and Li Chengru couldn't help looking up at Lin Weimin.

At this moment, Lin Weimin seemed to be shining.
