Chapter 34: The Vortex of Controversy
The bell rang, the exam was over, as if experiencing a hearty dream, Yu Bai ended his final in a trance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Standing at the gate of Shaw Academy, looking at the scattered crowd, Yu Bai didn't pay attention to the expressions and words of others, because all he had in his mind was what he wrote in the examination room, and before leaving at the end of the exam, Lin Fangqing Xiao Dan and everyone looked at him approvingly, and Shen Wenjuan clenched his fists and secretly cheered for him.
Scene by scene emerged one by one like a slide, and finally felt the coolness brought by a breeze, Yu Bai came back to his senses and gently exhaled a breath of sullen air that had been saved for a long time.
Obviously, it was just three simple exams, but Yu Bai felt like he had fought a protracted battle, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, so he wanted to take a good rest. But when I thought that this was just the first step in the long march, I was full of energy.
The two offset each other, and it always kept Yu Bai sober-minded.
rushed to the hospital non-stop, asked the nurse on duty at the front desk, Luo Shui's ward, and walked over quickly.
In front of the ward, Yu Bai was about to push the door when he heard the sound of Luoshui inside.
"Mom, I said I'm not hungry, and you know I hate eating chicken and drinking chicken soup the most."
"You kid, it's okay if you don't eat it normally, but now that you have just had surgery and need to supplement your nutrition, come and drink casually."
"Okay, I'll take a sip, and I won't drink any more."
"Okay, good, just one bite."
“……”
Yu Baiwu laughed to himself, and then pushed the door in.
The room was an ordinary two-person ward, and there was no one on the other bunk, so the room space was still a little spacious.
As soon as he came in, Yu Bai opened his mouth and joked.
"Such a good thing, if you don't eat it, I can eat it, my aunt wants me to say that he is used to it, don't eat this, don't eat that, starve for a few days to see if he eats or not."
As Yu Bai came in, the middle-aged woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed feeding Luo Shui turned around and looked over, her expression a little puzzled.
"Mom, he is the classmate and life-saving benefactor I told you, Yu Bai Yuda writer."
Luoshui's mother immediately got up and greeted her, no matter what politeness she had, she was just grateful, in addition to expressing her gratitude very politely, she also showed appreciation.
"You are Yu Bai, the child is really handsome. Thanks to you for Luoshui's affairs this time, don't go, I'll invite you to dinner with Luoshui's father in the evening. ”
"Auntie, it's good if you call me Xiaobai, you don't need to eat or anything, Luo Shui and I are also fellow countrymen, and it's like old friends at first sight, it's nothing."
Yu Bai was tugging with his aunt here, Luo Shui didn't look sick when he just got off the operating table, and grinned as if he was ready to see a joke, after all, this situation, for a teenager, will not be as handy as writing.
Obviously, Luo Shui was disappointed, because Yu Bai seemed to be quite familiar and experienced with these people, and he couldn't see embarrassment and surprise at all when dealing with them.
"How can this work, you are also in the business sea, so it's decided, let's eat dinner together."
Yu Bai was about to continue to excuse himself, when he heard someone push the door and walk in.
Looking back, it was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, wearing a shirt and trousers, and shiny leather shoes. With just a glance, Yu Bai could see the boss's aura on his body, holding his stomach and hurrying his steps.
Seeing Yu Bai was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted.
stepped forward and shook Yu Bai's hand, "You are Yu Bai, thank you really this time." ”
“……”
This time, Yu Bai was really embarrassed, touching his head, looking like I was still young and didn't know how to be polite to you.
Luoshui next to him saw enough of the excitement, so he opened his mouth to solve the siege.
"Mom and Dad, you two are almost fine, I didn't see that our Yu Da writer just got off the battlefield, and his body is weak."
Luoshui's father glared at him, "What nonsense, I thought it was like you, and there were problems at both ends in three days." ”
After a while, Yu Bai really couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the family, so he wanted to leave, he could fully imagine that without Luo Shui's present at the dinner, he would definitely be thanked by this parent one by one, and he would be able to pick up vegetables for himself, and Yu Bai shook his head when he thought about that scene.
Immediately said goodbye, no matter how much you persuade you.
Seeing that Yu Bai was determined to leave, he also gave up, but Yu Bai was still thinking about the two thousand yuan he had paid in advance for medical expenses.
But the parents had already made plans, and when they saw that Yu Bai was leaving, they saw Luoshui's father casually take out an envelope from the wallet he was carrying and handed it to Yu Bai.
"As the saying goes, it's good to rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out, Luoshui can make friends like you, and I'm happy for him. It's the money you paid in advance, take it. ”
"Hehe, what did Uncle Luo say, since that's the case, then I won't disturb Luoshui to rest, and I'll come to see him tomorrow."
……
Returning to the residence, feeling the silence around him, there were no regular visitors to the youth hostel, but now that Luoshui is gone, and the other two are also leaving, Yu Bai enjoys a single room addiction.
The whole person was lying on the bed in a big shape, and then he remembered the money that Luoshui's father gave him before leaving in the afternoon, speaking of which, this was the manuscript fee he had earned after working tirelessly before, and the purpose was to buy a camera for Zhao Xueman.
Because Yu Bai remembers very well that in her previous life with Zhao Xueman, she mentioned more than once that she hoped to one day have her own camera and be able to shoot the scenes she liked.
At that time, Yu Bai asked why he had to shoot it.
Zhao Xueman said: Because only what is photographed can be preserved forever.
At that moment, Yu Bai felt that this girl was very beautiful.
It may be that the creation makes people, and when she was in school, she didn't have any spare money to buy it, at most, she took pictures with her mobile phone, and after graduation, she didn't have that mind, until the two became strangers, and Yu Bai didn't know if Zhao Xueman had a camera that could let her take pictures.
Then I got up and took out the envelope in the book, thinking that I would buy one tomorrow before leaving, as a graduation gift, as a blessing before college.
It's just that Yu Bai, who was holding the envelope at the moment, looked a little weird, and then saw him quickly take out the money inside.
After this look, I found out that where is this two thousand yuan, at least five thousand is more than that.
First shocked, then Yu Bai smiled helplessly.
"In the end, it is a rich family, and it is extraordinary to make a move, but this money is not earned by yourself, and it is worth it."
Then, Yu Bai counted out two thousand yuan, put it under the pillow, and then put the rest of the money back in the envelope, only to return it tomorrow when he passed to say goodbye.
When Yu Bai was immersed in which camera to buy the next day, whether he could win the first place in the competition, and whether Zhao Xueman and the other people were thinking about whether they fell asleep in their own thoughts, the other side, that is, the review site of the final of the new concept essay, fell into a carnival again.
Final answer sheet review room.
Yang Wenlan, a professor in the Department of Chinese at Lankai University, is a grandmother in her early fifties but in good spirits. At this moment, she stared at the answer sheet in front of her, as kind as she was staring at her own child.
"Kid...... Child...... Alas, what a good boy. ”
The marking room is the same as last time, there are still six people, but the difference is that the three groups of people are together, and when this time the marking is done, there are often people who can't help but share the good articles they see with their friends next to them.
It's as if this is no longer a competition about rankings, but a feast of words.
After reading it, Yang Wenlan seemed to be in a mood that couldn't calm down, so she slowly moved the answer sheet to the person next to her, "You can also take a look." ”
The vice chairman of the Muxin Xiamen Writers Association, the two can be said to be one of the few two women present.
The two are of the same age, have been friends for decades, and the articles that can be favored by their friends should be extraordinary.
Immediately, Mu Xin put down the answer sheet in his hand smoothly, and then picked up the answer sheet called "Child" and read it.
It took nearly twenty minutes to finish reading, and like Yang Wenlan, Mu Xin pondered for a moment.
Then he looked up and said, "Not bad, quite good." Although the pen power is not sophisticated, it is better than the truth, and it can make people follow her words into it, which is rare, this is a girl who writes articles with her heart. ”
The two nodded at the same time, and then Yang Wenlan hit the results that had been set in her heart.
Pay attention, it is not difficult to find that this answer sheet called "Child" has a score of 95 points! As expected, the author of this article has already secured the first prize.
A score of 90 or more is tied for first place, and a score of 80 or more is tied for second, and a consolation prize will be given in addition.
This is the beginning of the final marking, the organizing committee communicated with the marking teachers. In this way, the battle for the first place is avoided, and the embarrassment of not being able to rank a good article is reduced, and the embarrassment of losing the final list, everyone will win the award anyway.
And this article is just a wave in the grading, after all, there are not a few good articles in the finals.
It was in such an atmosphere that time passed bit by bit, until two hours later, when almost all the reviews of the three groups of ABC were nearing the end, Lin Fangqing rubbed his sour eyes, and glanced at each other with his old friend Xu Fei, as if they were waiting for something.
A few minutes later, the door of the closed marking room was suddenly pushed open, and it was none other than Li Changtian, editor-in-chief of Mengya magazine, one of the organizers of the competition, and Xiao Dan, deputy editor-in-chief.
The appearance of the two at this time was very surprising.
But Li Changtian seemed to have been prepared, nodded his respects to the six celebrities in the industry in front of him, and then spoke.
"Colleagues, now we can be regarded as worthy of our mission, and we have finally defeated this tough battle. It's just that in the end, I have a reluctant request, that is, the answer sheet in my hand, yes, the respondent of this test paper, due to special circumstances, we did not put him in the previous exam paper to review together, but for the sake of fairness, we deliberately took it out at this time and asked everyone to correct it together. ”
As the editor-in-chief of "Dream Buds", Li Changtian is about the same age as the one sitting there, and his reputation is not far behind, and now he can say this in this posture, which is enough to prove how serious he is about the answer sheet in his hand.
Then Yang Wenlan asked, "Lao Li, we are all our own people, if you have anything to say, why should this paper be taken out separately for correction, and the six of us have to come together." ”
Li Changtian smiled, and then looked at Lin Fangqing who was not far away, "It's not very appropriate for me to talk about this question, let's let Lao Lin talk about it." ”
Lin Fangqing rubbed his sour eyes, put his reading glasses back on, and slowly stood up with his hands on the chair.
"Everything has a cause and an effect, and the cause of this matter is mine, and I should say it." Lin Fangqing said, I don't know if I was thirsty or what, turned around and took a sip of tea before continuing, "The general process is like this, after the finals started yesterday, I received a call from my student, Shen Wenjuan, the invigilator of Group B of our competition, saying that I was asked to come here. I thought something was wrong, and I thought she was taught by me, so I hurried over......"
After being said concisely by Lin Fangqing, it may sound a little unbelievable at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it is also reasonable, and there are many bystanders, all of whom are people who were present that day and can testify.
In this way, there is no such thing as cheating and seeking personal gain, and whether it is Li Changtian or Lin Fangqing as their people, they don't disdain to do this kind of thing.
Still, questions have been raised.
"Lao Lin, according to what you say, you are only born of love, and the child named Yu Bai is also to save his friends, so he is allowed to continue the exam under your invigilation, so how did his exam questions come about?" Mu Xin, who spoke, was just like her exquisite dress, and the questions she asked were also nuanced.
Lin Fangqing didn't think about it, and replied directly, "This is exactly what I want to focus on, and it is not easy for Yu Bai's child, so I used his own personal experience to set the exam questions at that time." Peeping in the rain, writing about what he sees, about the society he sees, about everything he sees. And what Lao Li is holding in his hand is what he wrote yesterday. ”
And Li Changtian continued to say, "After the exam was over, Lao Lin brought it to me to read it, and like him, I was very amazed, and there was no doubt that he was given the first place." But also because of his special examination experience, for the sake of fairness, we have not touched a word, the original text is presented, and here by your colleagues to review again. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone finally figured out the reason, and it turned out to be the young man named Yu Bai, who wrote an article that amazed the celebrities in today's literary world in less than an hour.
At this point, everyone was also interested, and they all spoke out to have a sneak peek.
But there was only one copy of the volume, and in the end, Li Changtian didn't know who to give it to, who would have thought that the scene would be such a scene.
Which one of you is not a celebrity in today's Chinese literary circle, but because of this article, they are scrambling, if you say this, I don't know how much of a wave it will cause.
In the end, everyone simply didn't grab it, but put it directly in the middle, and several people watched it together.
Waiting is always anxious, not to mention waiting so attentively, which makes Lin Fangqing, Xu Fei, Li Changtian, and Xiao Dan, who have already read the article, sit there and smile bitterly.
But they didn't speak, as if they were waiting for them to finish the last word and figure out the last joint.
"Smack!"
Eventually, I don't know who it was, I slapped the table, and as if I couldn't hold back the excitement anymore, I started talking.
"It's really hard to imagine that this deliberate, profound, straightforward, and satirical article was written by a middle school student in less than an hour, and it is really blue!"
The speaker was Wu Dashan, a professor at Shandong University. And Lin Fangqing and Li Changtian saw that someone finally spoke up, and they had the same opinion, and the four of them all saw joy in their eyes when they looked at each other.
Because it shows that what they appreciate is also appreciated by their peers, and this is enough.
The next words of praise are like a river, and they are endless.
"Temporary intentions, temporary intentions, but can be written to such a situation, Yu Bai, amazing, amazing!"
"Needless to say, the writing is sophisticated, it seems that looking at this article, if no one mentions the author, I wouldn't have thought that it would be a middle school student, but this is exactly the case, I can only say that Lao Lin, you made a right decision!"
“……”
However, in the midst of all the praise, there are inevitably different voices.
For example, Mu Xin, like her unique traditional thoughts, frowned, denying this exaggerated article.
"I don't know what it means at all, although it is undeniable that the basic skills of this article are indeed solid, and it can also make people see what he wants to express, but do you think the current education is wrong? Or is there something wrong with the society we live in? So I don't think this article is enough to give a high score, because no one listens to a middle school student's nonsense. ”
His friend Yang Wenlan is also the same, and the comments are as follows.
"I didn't feel his true feelings, but I found a person who was selling words between the lines, such a person...... How can it represent the theme and idea of our new concept essay, please think deeply. ”
Appreciation is accompanied by controversy, as if it was fate, Yu Bai's "Peeping in the Rain" and Han Han's "Peeping in the Cup" in the previous life were also attacked and praised, and they were also controversial and loved.
As for Yu Bai, can he calmly get out of the whirlpool of this controversy?
