Since 1983

1979, April.

Spring flowers bloom in Northeast China.

Xiaoxu is studying in the 15th Middle School and will continue to attend school after the winter vacation.

Originally, she wanted to join the ballet troupe but didn't go in, so she joined the repertory troupe as an announcer. In 1983, she applied for Lin Daiyu. Now, I don't want to play Lin Daiyu.

She wants to be a writer!

She wants to be a tycoon!

She is going to see Zhang Li!

In the afternoon that day, the parents were not at home.

Xiao Yang tried on his mother's clothes one by one, writhing in front of the mirror, and Xiao Xu sat cross-legged on the bed to read the newspaper, the new issue of China Youth Daily.

A full page of a novel with more than 6,000 words was published.

【Youth Study】

"like you"

Author: Chen Xiaoxu

With the self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam as the background, it describes the emotional story of a pair of young men and women. In addition to the dim commotion in adolescence, there are two most distinctive points.

One is that girls actively pursue boys.

Second, the boys rushed to the front line, and the girls resolutely became a military doctor and went to the battlefield together.

At the end, there is this passage:

"You don't have to persuade me, I made this decision not only because of you."

"I do not quite understand."

"I like you, and I love this country. I can like you while doing what I like to do; in other words, while I like you, I can also do what I like to do.

For me, this is a very beautiful thing..."

An ordinary passage that was put in 1979 when he was embarrassed to talk about love and was embarrassed to export, it was bold.

Like in "The Hunt", Mayumi comes on horseback and Du Qiu asks: "Why are you saving me?"

Mayumi said, "I like you!"

Wow, this line shocked how many men and women.

Conservative forces are stubborn, but reform and opening up cannot be turned back. This article is still published.

Xiaoxu read his article and shook his head. There are too many yishi forms, and it will be fine in the 1980s. It was really the golden age of literature.

"sister!"

She was watching, Xiaoyang suddenly came over: "When will parents be back?"

"You are hungry?"

"Ok!"

"I'll take you to eat delicious food."

Xiaoxu was happy in his heart. It was rare for her sister to have a deep affection. She put on clothes and shoes, then turned out her household registration book and a few food stamps, and pulled her bewildered sister out.

The air outside is very dry, and people wearing blue uniforms can be seen everywhere, and occasionally hear the ringing of bicycles.

First got on the bus, Xiao Xu paid a dime, and suddenly remembered the situation of Teacher Xu taking himself on the bus.

When I got off the bus, it was a state-owned restaurant. The waiter in white coat was reserved and proud. She gave the meal ticket: "Two catties of wontons!"

"Sister, can you eat it?" Xiao Yang tugged.

"Can't you eat two or two wontons?"

Xiaoxu sits down on his own, Xiaoyang breaks his fingers and counts, huh huh? ? ?

The pasta of this year is calculated by the skin. One catty of wonton refers to the amount of one catty of wonton skin.

Soon, two big bowls were served.

She rubbed her hands, alas, since she got older and older, her appetite was getting smaller and smaller, and she only ate two large lobsters on her 60th birthday.

So pick up the chopsticks, swallow the mountains and rivers with anger!

It's no surprise that everyone else can eat it these days, especially half-old children.

Xiao Yang also worked very hard. After eating half a catty, the hair was dry and the birds were clean. Xiaoxu was not full with these few taels, and bought some furnace fruit for dessert.

"Sister, will we be beaten to death?"

"Are they delicious?"

"good to eat!"

Xiaoyang licked the furnace fruit, and suddenly wanted to open it: "It's worth killing!"

The two walked to digest food, slowly arrived at the post and telecommunications office, lined up to the counter, and found out a manuscript bill and account book: "Hello comrades, I will take the manuscript fee."

"Manuscript fee?"

The clerk glanced, and the little girl had one, two pigtails, and a smaller one next to her.

"Yes, I wrote it, look!"

Xiaoxu took out the newspaper again and said with a smile: "I am from the 15th Middle School. I wrote this article when I heard the news of the self-defense counterattack. I didn't expect it to be published."

Yo hoo!

The clerk no longer doubted, and people around heard it and leaned over.

"Ouch, that's amazing!"

"How old is this, a teenager?"

"This is what the newspaper said, that... child prodigy!"

"Yes, prodigy! Little girl, would you also go to Beijing to play chess with the prime minister?"

Speaking of the beginning of reform and opening up, because of the holding back for too long before, everything seemed anxious and anxious. For example, in 1978, the country established the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology of China.

There were three prodigy representatives: Ning Bo, Xie Yanbo and Qian Zheng.

Tens of thousands of people watched and became famous for a while. As a result, one escaped into the empty door, one disappeared, and one was mentally ill.

Xiao Xu dealt with it, and received the manuscript fee.

Xiao Yang didn't know if he was a thief, or he was afraid that the thief was thinking about it. He was sneaky all the way, and screamed when he entered the house.

"Sister, you are amazing!"

"How much is that, take it out and count it!"

"Ah, did you really write it?"

Her sister slammed the envelope, Xiao Yang locked the door, and said, "1, 2, 3...48 yuan! God!"

(Refer to Ma Weidu’s "Tonight Moon Round" in 1981, and took 65 yuan for the manuscript fee.

Xiaoxu calmly, even despised Teacher Xu: Spicy chicken! If you don’t take this way to become famous and make money, you will take me to sell cloth bags?

HE...TUI!

"Boom boom!"

"Boom boom!"

"What are you doing in broad daylight?"

Xiaoyang hurriedly collected the money, and Xiaoxu opened the door. It was his parents.

"Are you two being naughty again? I'm hungry, I'll cook now."

Mother Chen untied her scarf and was about to go into the kitchen, and then listened to the eldest daughter's voice: "We've finished eating. Let's eat out."

"What?"

Before Father Chen opened the drawer to check the meal ticket, the eldest daughter said again: "Parents, tell you something."

As soon as President Chen opened his head, he arranged the money one by one on the table.

"I contributed a manuscript to China Youth Daily. This is the manuscript fee."

"..."

"..."

An hour later, the parents reluctantly accepted that their daughter suddenly became a writer. Father Chen stammered: "Then you, you will..."

"Go to school, continue to write articles, maybe I will be specially recruited to college."

Xiaoxu pushed the money over: "You can take this money as a subsidy for the family."

When I see my parents, I have to say, my little hand presses down: "I know everything in my heart."

…………

After half a month.

Xiaoxu went home from school, and when he turned into the alley, he saw a crowd of people at the door. He noticed sharp-eyed and shouted, "I'm back, I'm back!"

"Yo, little writer!"

"What a little writer, a great writer!"

"Mom, I watched this kid grow up. Who wants to be a writer, where do I go to make sense?"

"Fuck, you are glorious, you are so jealous!"

"Sister~~~~~"

Xiaoyang pulled the long tone and bounced out, his face glowing red, extremely proud: "That's all your letter, use a car to pull it!"

"All nonsense."

"It's really pulled by a cart, there are so many sacks!"

The younger sister exaggerated gestures, and Xiaoxu struggled to squeeze into the yard with more people inside. Seven aunts and eight aunts stared at the sacks in the middle like they looked like babies, but no one dared to get started. The scene was once funny.

"mom?"

"Xiaoxu, oh, oh..."

Mother was also very excited, unable to speak, but Xiaoxu kindly invited people away. Everyone was curious while discussing, this child has always had a personality, why is it suddenly so exquisite?

The remaining three people dragged the sacks into the house laboriously.

She frowned on her hips, underestimated, underestimated! "China Youth Daily" has a national circulation of several million copies, and the influence of this article is far beyond expectations.

When Father Chen gets off work, he will be happier, and the family will open the letter after dinner.

Xiaoxu read a few letters. Some have written and read comments, some asked questions about life, some made friends, and some strongly criticized...

In general, everyone expressed surprise at girls taking the initiative to chase boys, and from the last paragraph, they extended the discussion of the value of life.

It can only be said that it is worthy of this age that both mind and body are flying.

She thought about it, sat under the lamp and started writing the second article.

Writing and laughing secretly, it seems that Xiao Li is about to lose!

The first problem facing the two of them is how to leave their hometown, to the capital, to the magic capital, to the place that is more closely connected with the outside world...

She tends to stay in China, so Zhang Li naturally wants to go out. After all, during this period, many things in China have restrictions. Of course, you need to accumulate in the early stage, such as reputation, financial resources, contacts and so on.

The two of them tacitly agreed, and no one said that their plan succeeded before anyone else.

The whole family didn't dare to disturb, they were all bored in the back room. Hearing some movement outside, Father Chen came out and asked, "Done?"

"No, activity activity."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you just now, there is another letter today."

Father Chen took out a letter from the Zhanqi Art Troupe, and Xiao Xu snatched it.

After she contacted Zhang Li, she wrote a letter every few days, and the frequency never stopped. You can't call, you can't use WeChat, you can only pass the book to relieve your miss.

At this moment, she couldn't wait to open it, and according to her habit, this envelope should be a reply to the contents of her upper envelope.

The result is just one sentence:

"I'm going to the magic city!"
