Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

Chapter 618, Locus Award, Mi Jian ~ Shuangling (advocating for the alliance, still adding 0314!)

The yard where they were talking and laughing just now seemed to have been blown away by the night wind, and you could hear a pin drop.

Zhang Xuan was brushing his shoes, and his fingers were covered with white foam.

Seeing this, Mi Jian shook off the water drops on his hand, picked up the phone for help, pressed the connect button, and put it to his ear.

Hello.

hello

There was a voice over there, and surprisingly, it was speaking English.

What surprised him even more was that the call came from the organizer of Locus, a well-known American science fiction/fantasy magazine.

The other party told him: Clockwork Girl won the best science fiction feature and asked him to go to the United States to receive the award in October...

After a round of questions and answers, Zhang Xuan was stunned.

Very surprised!

What a surprise!

Very cool!

I never expected that I would win all three major science fiction awards in such a dramatic way.

Really dramatic!

In April, I learned that I had won the Hugo Award.

In May, I was informed that I had won the Nebula Award.

The winner of the Locus Award was announced in June.

What does it mean to win three major awards in three consecutive months?

It means winning a Grand Slam on the first shot!

According to the congratulatory message I just received from the organizer over the phone: winning three major awards, I am already a hallowed figure in the world of science fiction, and I am destined to go down in history and be remembered by history!

Mi Jian was the closest to him, so he could hear the content of the phone call most clearly.

At this moment, I was looking at the man in front of me up close, and seeing the subtle expression on his face, I felt sincerely happy for him.

Congratulations! You have taken another step forward in the world of literary circles! Mi Jian was the first to say congratulations.

Looking at his beloved who was so close to Chi Chi, Zhang Xuan, who was immersed in his own world, couldn't help but lean in and kiss her.

Bah!

The sound was not loud, the intensity was not strong, and there was no kiss. He just kissed her on the cheek subconsciously.

Mi Jian was stunned by this sudden move!

At this time, Liu Yi, uncle, aunt, Liu Xin and Wen Yu, who were all focused on Zhang Xuan, were also stunned!

Then, Zhang Xuan himself was stunned when he reacted!

Damn it! What good things have you done? I wish I could slap myself to death.

What kind of stupidity is this?

Liu Yi is still here.

Two seconds later, Mi Jian pursed her lips and glanced at him, then raised her head and said to everyone with a smile:

Zhang Xuan won the award, the Locus Award!

Locus Award?

None of us here are fools or illiterate. Since I often pay attention to Zhang Xuan and often read newspapers, I naturally know that the Locus Award, together with the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, are known as the three major novel awards in the science fiction world.

Zhang Xuan has already won the next two awards.

And now that they were told that they had won the Locus Award, everyone thought of a word often predicted in newspapers: Grand Slam!

At this moment, Zhang Xuan won a grand slam! This is a very dazzling achievement for the Chinese in this era!

A very brilliant achievement!

No wonder Zhang Xuan couldn't help but kiss Mi Jian just now. He was so excited!

This is something I can’t help but want to share with the people I like.

Liu Xin couldn't help but think: If it were me, facing my beloved by my side, I would kiss him too!

Liu Yi's eyes wandered between her daughter and Zhang Xuan. At the same time, she had no choice but to admire this young man who came out of the remote mountainous countryside.

Grand Slam!

Even the most ignorant people have been taught what is great by past newspaper reports!

After the silence, there was an explosion, and congratulations came one after another from everyone!

thanks, thanks!…

He had kissed Mi Jian just now, and now Liu Yi was looking at her with joy. No matter how thick-skinned the old man was, he felt a little embarrassed.

Brother, we should celebrate such a big happy event! Li Wendong, who loves celebrities, reminded.

It's time to celebrate. Let's go to Brother Li's place. Zhang Xuan was in a good mood now and didn't care about the money at all.

The relationship is good, let's set off now. Wen Yu looked at his watch.

6:31 pm, still early.

The person involved warmly invited us, and everyone present agreed to such a happy event and got on the bus happily.

Since he wanted to celebrate, Zhang Xuan would not miss Tao Ge and Chief Editor Hong who often take care of him.

A call came over, and the two of them readily agreed and said they would come over immediately.

That night, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and made waves on the 8th floor of An Chang Club, spending a lot of money lavishly!

Whatever is more expensive!

Something delicious!

A bottle of red wine worth tens of thousands?

point!

Thousands of dishes per dish?

point!

Looking at his heroic look, no one here thought he was extravagant.

Because he has the capital.

With such a rich net worth, if you don't squander it at this time, how can you squander it?

If you don’t need to make money, then what are you using it for?

But even so, even if someone paid the bill, Liu Yi and others still secretly clicked their tongues in shock when they saw the menu with that price!

But later, when I thought about the splendor I saw along the way, I slowly felt relieved.

Li Wendong, who can claim to be brothers with Zhang, is naturally not that simple.

Tao Ge came and brought Tao Qin and Oriole.

Later, Editor-in-Chief Hong, who was further away, also came.

Everyone sat down and started exchanging cups and cups.

After two drinks a day, Zhang Xuan was a little tired. After a few rounds, he was forced to go to the bathroom.

Mi Jian came over and asked, Are you okay?

Zhang Xuan shook his head: Don't worry, it's okay. In fact, everyone has already let me go.

Mi Jian supported him and said, Would you like to take a break upstairs?

Zhang Xuan refused: No, I am the protagonist today, and it is nothing if I don't show up for a long time.

Even if you can’t drink anymore, it’s still good to sit inside and chat with everyone.

Back in the box, Zhang Xuan drank some more, and finally gave up when he couldn't drink any more.

During the dinner, Tao Ge poured a cup of tea for Zhang Xuan, Come, I'll drink some tea while you drink tea, and I'll give you a drink!

good.

The two of them touched each other lightly and drank without saying a word.

After drinking, Tao Ge asked Mi Jian: Brother and sister, can you have some more?

Mi Jian had been taking care of Zhang Xuan tonight and didn't drink much. He said with a nice smile: I can drink a little.

Tao Ge poured wine for Mi Jian, picked up the cup and said, Sister, I really envy you!

Thank you, Sister Tao. Mi Jian met Tao Ge and drank a small glass of red wine in small sips.

After drinking, Tao Ge kept holding Mi Jian beside him to talk.

Zhang Xuan also chatted with him from time to time.

They say that when you meet a close friend, a thousand cups are too little. Li Wendong, his uncle, and Editor-in-Chief Hong are going to meet a talented person and an opponent in chess tonight, and they are going to have a fight!

The three of them were all drinking water, and everyone was dumbfounded.

It was a lively night.

This night, everyone didn't disperse until after 11 o'clock.

After returning home, Zhang Xuan ignored the drink and fell asleep.

He was sleeping deeply, even though his cell phone kept ringing, it didn't wake him up.

Mi Jian helped him cover him with a thin quilt. After hesitating for a few seconds about the home note on his phone, he still answered it.

Didn’t she know that this family’s landline number was Shangcun? Or the landline number of Yangcheng?

But I thought something must be wrong if I called so late, so I answered the call.

Manzai, Mom received a call from Shuangling. Shuangling said you won another award.

Auntie, good evening.

Upon hearing this address, Ruan Xiuqin, who was talking lively over there, stopped abruptly.

Mi Jian? It took several seconds before Ruan Xiuqin's startled voice came again.

Mi Jian smoothed her hair behind her ear with her right hand, looked out the window at the night and said, Well, it's me.

Then, without waiting for the other end to speak, she told the truth: Zhang Xuan drank wine tonight and fell asleep.

Auntie, do you want to talk to him? I'll help you wake him up.

Are you together? Ruan Xiuqin asked urgently.

exist.

Mi Jian knew that the other party had misunderstood. But she couldn't explain it clearly, or couldn't explain it clearly, so she chose the shortest answer.

Did he drink a lot? Ruan Xiuqin changed the topic for fear of embarrassing Mi.

Mi Jian looked down at his face and said, Today Zhang Xuan won the Locus Award. I had a few extra drinks during the celebration.

Talking to Mi Jian over the phone for the first time, Ruan Xiuqin had a lot to say, but didn't know where to start.

She knew that Manzai cared about this girl.

Ruan Xiuqin made up his mind and finally said: Thank you for your hard work. Please help me take care of him. I will ask him to call me back when I wake up tomorrow.

Mi Jian said softly: Okay.

The phone was hung up, and before Mi Jian could breathe a sigh of relief, the Nokia in his hand rang again.

At first glance, I saw that the note this time was teachers' apartment.

Don't think about it, Du Shuangling must have called.

Having just called Ruan Xiuqin, Mi Jian, who was exhausted, did not choose to answer Du Shuangling's call again.

He put his cell phone on silent mode and put it on the bedside table. Mi Jian just stared at it quietly, feeling sad.

On the other side, Du Shuangling, who was excited when she learned that her man had won the award, slowly calmed down after hearing dong dong. dong. one after another.

When the last dong sound settled and turned into a beep beep busy tone, Du Shuangling put the receiver back.

There was a call on the phone just now, but now that he called but no one answered, Du Shuangling immediately guessed who was on the other side of the phone.

Besides her and Mi Jian, who else could there be in the capital?

If it were Zhang Xuan, he would definitely answer the phone.

Thinking of the previous phone call with Aunt Xiuqin, Du Shuangling realized in her heart: There was a call on the mobile phone just now, and it was probably Aunt Xiuqin who made the call, and the person who answered the phone was obvious and self-evident.

Thinking of this, Du Shuangling subconsciously looked at the time, 11:16.

It's so late, you can't go back to Peking University, right?

Seeing Du Shuangling suddenly fall into silence, seeing Du Shuangling's excited mood suddenly disappear, Zou Qingzhu, who had been accompanying Zhuang Guang next to him, felt something was wrong.

However, Wen Hui judged more intuitively that Mi Jian should be with Zhang Xuan tonight.

What Du Shuangling thought of, even someone as smart as Wenhui could naturally think of it.

Seeing the two of them looking at her worriedly, Du Shuangling said with a smile: There are still ingredients in the kitchen. Let's make a midnight snack. I want to drink some wine tonight.

Knowing what was going on, Wen Hui stood up quickly, said Okay and went directly to the kitchen.

Zou Qingzhu wanted to ask if something happened? But in the end, he didn't ask, and pulled Du Shuangling into the kitchen together.

Go to the village.

The intersection was dark at the moment.

Except for a small light from the canteen that illuminated a table playing cards, the only sounds left were the barking of dogs.

After the call with Mi Jian ended, Ruan Xiuqin had been sitting on the sofa in the dark for more than half an hour.

She indeed misunderstood, thinking that Mi Jian had slept with Manzai.

Thinking of such a beautiful girl sleeping with her son at the moment, Ruan Xiuqin didn't know whether to be happy or call her son a bastard!
