Hello 1983

  Chapter 721 Don't delay the next generation

  In Liu Qingshan’s memory, it was not until decades later that the writer who “didn’t like to talk” got the Nobel Prize for Literature.

  But in Liu Qingshan's view, "The Ordinary World" is undoubtedly better and deserves an award.

  That’s why last year, he introduced Writer Lu and his eldest brother-in-law to Victor. Together with the translation team, he translated both books carefully abroad, and then published and sold them.

   Now it seems that the influence has come out. After all, it is not easy to be nominated.

  Liu Qingshan wished he could call Jiapigou now and tell Writer Lu the good news.

  However, he forcibly resisted the urge, sat back in his seat, and calmed down his excitement: "Victor, what else do we need to do next?"

   Liu Qingshan's intention is obvious, just to ask Victor if he needs public relations or something.

  Victor shook his head: "Everything will go with the flow, maybe there will be a big surprise."

  This is true, and there are many such examples: Some people have researched important results, and even caused a sensation. They thought they could win the award, so they lobbied everywhere, but they didn't even get nominated.

  Especially for the literature award, it is not only a tradition in the Chinese literary world, so the literature award has always been the most controversial award.

  Liu Qingshan had no choice but to give up. Originally, he was thinking of returning the check for two million dollars to Victor and asking him to use it as a public relations fee.

   After talking about this matter, Liu Qingshan called Jiapigou to find his eldest brother-in-law and Writer Lu.

  Put down the phone and waited for another half an hour before he dialed again. This time, it was Gao Wenxue who answered the call:

   "Sanfeng, what are you looking for? Brother Wang and I are doing farm work together."

  Liu Qingshan also unconsciously showed a smile on his face: These two brothers are really good at it, let’s also say "Morning Xing cleans up the wasteland, and brings the moon lotus **** back", right?

  So he smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing. Mr. Victor just sent me two checks. Brother Wang's 500,000 and yours 300,000 are both in US dollars."

  There was a burst of hearty laughter on the phone, and then the person who answered the phone was replaced by Writer Lu:

   "That's really good, Qingshan. I have discussed this money with my literary brother. We won't want it, so I will leave it with you."

  Of course they knew that during the half year abroad, Liu Qingshan paid for the food and lodging expenses. In addition to hiring those translators and professors, they spent a lot of money, which was not enough at all.

   "This is your manuscript fee, what's the matter with me, I definitely don't want it."

  Of course Liu Qingshan refused immediately, he himself was not short of the money, and the most important thing was that he couldn't justify it both emotionally and rationally.

  Writer Lu on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said:

   "Then you can help us donate it, donate it to the domestic literary award, and benefit more writers, at least it can increase the bonus and improve life."

  He has experienced it personally. It is precisely because of the Jiapigou Literature Award that he got rid of the predicament of life and slowly recovered his body.

  Writers Lu have never lacked feelings, but have been trapped by the status quo and have been powerless.

  Now that he has this kind of opportunity, of course he knows how to be grateful and knows how to repay.

"Ok."

  Liu Qingshan can understand Writer Lu's mood. As for the elder brother-in-law, is our family short of this little money?

  After talking about the serious matter, Liu Qingshan joked: "Brother Wang, and brother-in-law, you two have made me suffer!"

   "Qingshan, what do you say?" Writer Lu still believed it.

  Liu Qingshan glanced at the three checks on the table: "You have all donated, and of course I have to donate my manuscript fee, mine is two million, and I feel so distressed now!"

Hahaha!

  On the other end of the phone, came the laughter of the two writers.

Gao Wenxue grabbed the microphone again: "Sanfeng, if you earn more, donate more. By the way, we also have some good news for you. Brother Wang and I have both been notified that our work has been shortlisted for the third Mao Dun Literature Awards." prize!"

  This is indeed good news. The third literary award is to select literary works from 1985 to 1988.

  And this year, it is also recognized as the best one. There are two outstanding works, The World and The Funeral, and now there is more desire for high literature, and it is even more star-studded.

  Liu Qingshan congratulated the two of them first, and then said with a smile: "Then donate this money to the literary award review committee."

   "At that time, you can also get more bonuses."

   This joke is a bit funny, even the people in the room raised their mouths.

   "Liu, it's better to donate after the election, otherwise, wouldn't it be suspected of bribery." Victor also joked.

  Don’t say it, the sequence is really important, otherwise, it would be hard to explain.

  The selection of literary works will start at the end of this year, and it may take a year or two to continue.

  In fact, the third Literary Award was only awarded in the Great Hall in 1991.

   It is estimated that this money can only be put aside for two years.

   Liu Qingshan continued on the phone: "Brother Wang, I also have some good news. Mr. Victor brought it, saying that you have been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Congratulations."

  There was a silence on the other end of the phone. After a long time, Writer Lu's choked up voice came: "Qingshan, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me."

  “I didn’t want to win an award before, because I even had to borrow money as travel expenses to receive the award, but now, I’m not afraid anymore!”

  After listening to these words from the bottom of his heart, Liu Qingshan felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and glanced at the three checks on the table, the total amount was 2.8 million.

   Just make up the whole, three million.

  The money should be deposited directly in the bank first, and donated after this year's literary awards are finished.

   It is estimated that by then, the bonus will be multiplied tenfold, from 5,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan, then it will be fine.

  Liu Qingshan was about to end the call, but the phone was replaced by two clear and pleasant voices:

   "Brother, brother, when will you come back, we all miss you!"

  The corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth could not help but curl up: It seems that the fourth and fifth children are out of school.

   "Brother, we will go to the capital to see you after the autumn harvest and the busy farming season!" The trumpet of Xiao Lao Si came again.

   "Don't, I'll go back after the National Day."

  Liu Qingshan quickly stopped her. If the little girl said it, there must be a way to come here.

   "Then it's a deal, don't go back on your word, or let's pull the hook." Thousands of miles away, Liu Qingshan could feel the sweet smile on his sister's face.

  Across the phone line, can you pull the hook? Well, let's make a verbal agreement.

  Liu Qingshan stuck his teeth with the two little girls for a while, and didn't hang up until the phone was about to run out of battery.

  Looking at the time, it was indeed noon, Liu Qingshan greeted: "Let's go, let's eat first."

  Victor and others came all the way to join in the show, of course they had to entertain them well, besides, they also purchased goods.

  Everyone went downstairs together, only to find that the store seemed more crowded than before, especially in front of the counter selling Songjiang green rice. People who lined up all left the store.

   It turned out that someone bought Songjiang green rice, and somehow it spread, saying that it was specially for the big leaders, so the masses were also enthusiastic.

  The price is a bit expensive, but you can buy less, buy a ten catty one, and save it for porridge.

  Looking at this posture, Liu Qingshan couldn't leave the salespersons, so he could only bring them the food.

   Wait until the day is over, and the door will close on time at six o'clock in the evening.

  Everyone got together to take stock of today's accounts, and finally the boss announced cheerfully:

   "Our sales today are a total of 358,100 yuan, a good start, a good start!"

  This is not counting the batch of tiger bone wine that Victor ordered, otherwise, the sales would be even more.

   There is also the old wild ginseng, which basically accounted for more than half, so the other goods were added together, and it only sold for more than 100,000 yuan. Liu Qingshan felt that it was just average.

  Perhaps as the name of Jiapigou Shanhuo Store slowly spreads, other consumers in the urban area will also be attracted, and the turnover will increase by then.

  But other people don’t see it that way, so Liu Wenjuan is very excited: If you sell 150,000 a day, that’s more than 4 million in a month, and how much is it in a year?

  Actually, the accounts are not calculated in this way. On the first day of opening, there must be more. After that, if there is a daily turnover of tens of thousands of yuan, then it is considered too much.

   But everyone was happy, so Liu Qingshan didn't spoil their interest. Anyway, as long as this mountain goods store doesn't lose money, it will make a lot of money.

   If you don’t earn anything else, you will be satisfied with earning this piece of land.

  Naturally, he had to reward the staff well at night. Liu Qingshan tried to get out of the restaurant, but was stopped by Liu Wenjuan.

  It's not so busy in the afternoon. She has already arranged for two subordinates to buy vegetables and cook, and go to restaurants every day.

  Liu Qingshan saw that there were no outsiders, and they were all from his hometown, so he nodded in agreement.

   After dinner, Secretary Wang and Lao Zhou chatted with Liu Qingshan alone for a while.

  Hearing that Liu Qingshan said that after the National Day, he would go home, the two of them felt relieved and prepared to go back tomorrow.

  Lao Zhou used to belong to the Commercial Bureau, and he was a good businessman, so he discussed with Liu Qingshan to see if it was possible to transport some special products from Bishui County to Jiapigou Shanhuo Store for sale.

  Milk powder, fermented bean curd, etc. produced in BR County, these non-staple foods are also in short supply in the city.

  Of course Liu Qingshan nodded and agreed, even for this transportation problem, big trucks can’t always be used, it’s best for the county to come forward to solve the problem of train skins.

  After sending off the parents and officials, Liu Qingshan was busy working in the Shanhuo store for a few days.

   Sure enough, it was about the same as he expected, and the sales gradually stabilized at more than 20,000.

  As the National Day is approaching, Liu Qingshan started to get busy again, because people from all walks of life of Longteng Company gathered in the capital one after another, and everyone rushed back to attend Ma Laosan's wedding.

  First from Hong Kong Island, more than a dozen people came back at once, even the tanned Xiao Wu came back, and brought back a lot of gems by the way.

  In addition, Hou San from the other side of the Heihe River also brought his daughter-in-law Anna, and came all the way to drink the wedding wine.

  Anna's belly is already slightly bulging.

   Seeing Xiao Wu, Hou San was taken aback: "Wu Zi, you really didn't stay in Africa for nothing!"

   After finishing speaking, he laughed again: "Why didn't you bring a black girl back?"

   "Who is as worthless as you."

  Xiao Wu immediately retorted, and everyone got together, and they were not serious anyway.

  Hou San looked at Ma Laosan: "Let's stop pinching, the master is here, we are all ranked third, how about I be your best man?"

   "Brother Hou, can we look in the mirror ourselves?" Ma Laosan said with a smile.

  Hou San rolled his eyes: "Then it's just right to ask Qingshan to be your best man."

   Ma Laosan looked at Liu Qingshan carefully again, and then began to shake his head again: "No, no, if Qingshan stands next to me, all the guests will look at him."

   It's really hard to serve, not ugly, not too handsome.

  Hou San groped around in the crowd: "By the way, Gangzi, come on, you are neither ugly nor handsome, and you just meet the requirements."

   "Brother Hou, why don't you just say that I'm the face of the public." Gangzi replied angrily.

   Then he pulled over to Xiaomei who was beside him: "We have discussed it. We are all in different places, and it is not easy to get together once. Simply, Xiaomei and I will hold a wedding together and join in the fun."

   When everyone heard this, they applauded loudly, and Xiao Wu looked at Brother Da Fei in the crowd again: "There's another couple here, let's do it together!"

  Talking about Gangzi and Xiaomei, as well as Brother Dafei and Li Xuemei, they have been together for several years, but there has been no ceremony, and it is time to do it.

  As soon as everyone connected together, the matter was settled like this. In Hou San's words: This is called one sheep is also chased, and three sheep are also shed.

  The shareholders of Longteng, except for the old squad leader and a few older ones who have already married, the rest are single.

  Hou San started to talk: "Who else is a bachelor, hold on tight, don't delay the next generation!"

   Everyone looked at Anna and smiled.

  Hou San immediately pointed the finger at Liu Qingshan: "You are the boss, so you should take the lead."

   "Qingshan is hard to choose now." Xiao Wu joked with a smile:

"Qingshan, why don't you join Lilan's nationality? As long as you can afford it, you can marry a few more. A chief I know, a good guy, has married more than 30 wives and has more than 100 children. He can't even remember his own son."

  Liu Qingshan gave Xiao Wu a blank look: "Your boy is always over there and doesn't want to come back, is there such a plan?"

  As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately pointed their spears at Xiao Wu, several of them rushed up, Wang Zhan Dingshan and others pushed Xiao Wu to the ground, and came in the shape of an earthen airplane:

   "Recruitment or not, hurry up and tell the truth, our policy is to be frank and lenient, and resist strict!"

  Xiao Wu also immediately persuaded: "Don't delay the business, hurry up and send a car to pick up Gangzi and Dafei's family."

  That's right, this can't be delayed, so Liu Qingshan hurriedly sent a car to Chuncheng to pick up Gangzi and his four relatives.

  As for the new house, Gang Zi and Fei Ge have already owned it in the capital. They are all small courtyard houses, and the old hater and uncle helped to find them.

  Besides, the decoration of the new house has been completed, and they don't want to live here for a long time. It's just a matter of buying some wedding supplies.

  Anyway, there are many people, and these few people are not short of money.

   Not to mention, in the past two years, group weddings have really become popular in big cities, which can be regarded as following the trend.
