1980 My Literary Era

Chapter 83
After announcing the happy news to his father, the joy in Yu Hua's heart gradually calmed down.He smacked his lips and put his eyes on the returned manuscript.

According to editor Lin Weimin's opinion, his manuscript has many problems, which can be seen just by looking at the densely packed annotations on it.

Lin Weimin said in the letter that he should try again after finishing the revision. Yu Hua is not stupid, he knew in his heart that even if [-]% of the revision is completed, it will be enough to meet other people's standards.

But it's a pity for him to just give up this manuscript, especially since Lin Weimin has already annotated a lot of things for him.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he had an idea in his mind.

I still edited the manuscript according to Lin Weimin's comments, and then, like the previous routine, submitted to a magazine with a lower grade than "Contemporary".

Yu Hua thought about it, and decided to vote for "Yanjing Literature", which is also in Yanjing.

As for Lin Weimin, who is both a great writer and an editor, Yu Hua felt that he couldn't let go of this opportunity because he was so optimistic about himself.

Summarizing the lessons learned from this submission, he wrote another short story.

This time, he silently raised the level of "Contemporary" to a higher level in his heart, making it as famous as "Harvest" and "People's Literature".

The moment the submission letter was stuffed into the mailbox, Yu Hua felt empty, not knowing what the result would be this time.

He thought of Lin Weimin's optimistic opinion of him in Xinzhong, and cheered himself up in his heart.

Yu Hua, you have to believe in yourself, you are a genius!You are the best!

Yanjing, Baimi Xiejie.

Taking advantage of the time on the weekend, Lin Weimin came to the courtyard to see the progress of the renovation.

In January in Yanjing, it was freezing cold, and we couldn't do outdoor work, but we didn't delay indoors.

Li Guangfu's logistics supply is very reliable. He said that he really got the building materials he got.

Lin Weimin's bathroom and washroom have already been finished, not as bright as the decoration of later generations, but the function is not bad at all.

The water tank in the bathroom was placed close to 1.8 meters from the wall. Lin Weimin tried to pull the rope.

With a "crash", a whole tank of water rushed into the squatting toilet.

Li Guangfu followed behind Lin Weimin, "Mr. Lin, do you think this will work?"

"Very good, very good, it's really hard work for you, Mr. Li." Lin Weimin said with a smile.

"Don't be polite to me."

He went on to say: "Right now the house is almost done, and there are still a few pieces of newly added furniture that haven't been dried and painted. Then there is the connection between the main room and the west wing room, which can only be built in the spring, and then the door will be opened." It's all alive."

"Yes. Look at this set of stoves I got you."

Li Guangfu dragged Lin Weimin to the East Wing, where a set of earthen boilers was lying quietly, which seemed to be two circles larger than the ones used by ordinary people in Yanjing City.

"This is a stove used to heat the street. Now the government has provided them with a joint for heating, and this thing has been eliminated.

There are more than ten rooms in that street. In previous winters, this set of stoves was used for heating, and there are so many radiators, so that you can have more than enough for your family. "

These days, Yanjing City still uses fire pits and soil heating for heating in winter, and common people generally burn briquettes, that is, briquettes.

There is almost no central heating in places like courtyards and large courtyards, and many units use small steam boilers.

The earth heater that Li Guangfu got for Lin Weimin fit the scale of his small courtyard house. Although it was troublesome to burn, it was like this these days, and there was no such thing as worry-free and comfortable.

Lin Weimin pointed to the pile of radiators and said, "There are too many radiators. I only have a few houses, so I can't use them at all."

"Hey, it's all a brainstorming thing, and it didn't cost much in total. Hehe, I just treated someone to a meal, and they are all things that need to be scrapped."

Lin Weimin didn't say anything else. Looking at these radiators, he suddenly thought of a friend.

After seeing the progress of the small courtyard, it is definitely not possible to live in it before the Chinese New Year, and it should be about the same in the spring after the year.

He invited Li Guangfu to a restaurant and chatted about the rehearsal of "Untouchable".

The crew has been rehearsing for almost a month now. According to the tradition of Renyi, a play needs to be rehearsed for at least two months.

Calculated in this way, it will be almost March to prepare for the public performance.

When Li Guangfu talked about the performance, he was a little excited. He has been in Renyi for so many years, but he can be regarded as playing the leading role again, and he has such a good script and such a good team.

In the words, there is a lot of thanks to Lin Weimin, and there is a feeling that Lin Weimin is regarded as a noble person.

"I said, Mr. Li, we are friends now anyway, so don't be so polite to me." Lin Weimin said helplessly.

Li Guangfu was a little embarrassed, "Hey, look at me, let's not talk about this."

After eating, Li Guangfu left, but Lin Weimin returned to Baimixie Street, planning to find a place for the extra radiator.

"Tiesheng! Tiesheng!"

Lin Weimin's voice was heard again in the courtyard at No. 26 Lama Temple Street. He removed the radiator on the back seat of the bicycle, and Father Shi pushed Shi Tiesheng out.

The Shi family father and son looked at the radiator that Lin Weimin had removed, and Shi Tiesheng asked, "Weimin, this..."

"Isn't my small yard being renovated? I got a bunch of radiators eliminated from other people's streets. I can't use them, so I just sent them to your family."

Due to muscle atrophy, blood circulation in Shi Tiesheng's lower body was blocked all the year round, and he sat under pressure for a long time every day, causing bedsores to break out in summer.

In winter, there is only one briquette stove in their house for heating, and the temperature is [-] to [-] degrees.His numb legs couldn't stand the cold at all, and if they were frozen, there was a possibility of necrosis.

That time when he accompanied Lin Weimin to look at the house, Shi Tiesheng took a big risk.

So when Lin Weimin saw these radiators, he immediately thought of Shi Tiesheng.

His house burns a briquette stove. Because of the manufacturing process, honeycomb briquettes can burn and emit less heat, and there is no radiator. Even if it burns vigorously in winter, the temperature in the house will not be high. With radiators, it will be different. up.

Seeing Lin Weimin's sincere face, Shi Tiesheng was deeply moved.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, it's always been like this."

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, and I didn't buy it for you."

In order to fear that Shi Tiesheng would have a psychological burden, Lin Weimin said so.

Lin Weimin sent Shi Tiesheng a radiator, but that alone was not enough, the stove in their house didn't even have a connection to the pipe.

"I'll get you a new stove later," Lin Weimin said.

Father Shi hurriedly said, "No need, I'll just go and buy one."

"It's okay, uncle, it's all a matter of piggybacking."

But Father Shi insisted all the time, saying that Lin Weimin would buy a stove as soon as he left the house, and Lin Weimin gave up.
