Chapter 568: Return home!
That's when the most exciting moment comes.
Everyone's eyes were focused on a certain leader of the Ministry of Education holding the list on the stage.
At this moment, everyone held their breath.
Although this list has little to do with them, many people didn't even care about their works being selected before this.
But at this moment, everyone's hearts are still being pinched.
Among the crowd, He Yun was naturally no exception.
At this time, his face was full of anticipation, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
At this time, the leader on the stage began to announce that he was finally selected into the "Thirty Recommended Works".
"Now I announce the final inductees, and they are ......"
"Science Fiction "Hou Yi Running to the Moon", Publishing House ......"
Offstage, He Yun never expected that the first announcement would be his own work.
(Repeated below)
The selection continued, and as time went on, many more classic works were soon selected, including classics, poetry collections, and prose collections, all of which were masterpieces.
After more than an hour, the 100 recommended books were finally selected.
He Yun slowly lowered his right hand, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
This conference, because 100 works are to be selected, it takes a very long time, and even He Yun's arm is counted.
After all, every time he raised his right hand and cast what was probably the most crucial vote.
After each vote, the voting committee will count the votes, and only half of those who pass will be able to enter the selection list.
This process is quite tedious and complicated, but considering the importance of this matter, He Yun did not half-heartedly, but cast his crucial vote very seriously.
In this way, after dozens of rounds of voting, 100 recommended books were finally determined.
And this is not the final selection, the ultimate goal of this conference is to screen out thirty works, that is, at least two rounds of screening and three rounds of screening.
The second round of screening will be three days later and will still be here, and the third screening will be a week later and will be located here.
The selection system is different from this round, probably a part of the leaders of the Ministry of Education and the leaders of the writers' association jointly select a part of the works, and then vote for them.
In other words, the decision is not entirely in the hands of He Yun and those who were invited.
As for the reason for this, everyone actually knows it.
It's nothing more than ......
…………
After the meeting, He Yun returned to the courtyard.
At this time, it was already half past seven in the evening.
After a day's meeting, he was really tired enough, no, as soon as he came back, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and he didn't even eat dinner.
By the time he woke up, it was already half past eight the next morning.
Fortunately, today's class is in the afternoon, otherwise He Yun would be late.
After washing up and eating breakfast again, He Yun was about to go out, but bumped into He Xiaolian with a big belly.
"Little Lotus! Are you going to work? ”
He Yun hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Otherwise?" He Xiaolian looked at He Yundao with a strange expression.
"But I see that your belly is so big, are you asking for leave to wait for the child to be born at home? What if something happens...... ”
Speaking of this, He Yun didn't go on.
"It's okay! Elder brother! I'm still holding up! He Xiaolian shook her head slightly, but she didn't say any more.
She turned around and prepared to go to work.
But at this time, two people suddenly appeared at the door.
"Dad! Mother! Why did you two come over suddenly, and why didn't you call us before you came? ”
"Your mother won't let me fight, saying that you are all busy, and I am afraid of delaying your business!" Dad He Donglei couldn't help but say.
"We've been here in Kyoto so many times, and we've long been familiar with the way, what do you want to pick up, it's not that I don't know how to come!" Dad's words fell, and at this time, his mother Gong Yue immediately followed.
"You kid! The belly is so big! Why do you have to go out! Hurry up and lie down in the house, where is Xiao Zhen? The mother then turned her gaze to He Xiaolian and said with a serious face.
"He went to the store early in the morning, he should be busy, right?" Seeing that her mother was so serious, He Xiaolian hurriedly replied.
"What are you busy with? The daughter-in-law's belly is so big, I don't know how to worry about it! Really! I'll talk about him when he comes back in the evening! Mother Gong Yue didn't wait for He Xiaolian to finish speaking, and immediately put on a straight face.
Obviously, she must have been angry.
At this moment, He Yun was talking quietly with his father He Donglei.
"Dad! It's okay at home! He Yun asked.
"It's okay! All the best! Your third brother gave birth to a big fat boy again. ”
"Really? Already raw? He Yun was surprised and hurriedly said.
"Hmm...... More than seven pounds! It's very healthy to look at it! After He Donglei replied, he continued to He Yun: "That's right! What about Yunyan? Did she go to work? ”
"Uh-huh...... The child was sent to daycare. ”
"So small? Just send that! Why don't you talk to us? If I didn't have time to bring it, your father and I would have come over early, you two brothers and sisters! It's really not worry-free. ”
"Mom! It's not your time anymore, when children are sent to nursery schools at a very young age. ”
"That's not going to work either! If you're busy, let us take it. Before He Yun finished speaking, his mother Gong Yue immediately interrupted him.
"Your mom is right! If you are busy and don't have time to take care of the children, your mother and I will come over to help you take them, anyway, your mother and I are idle in the countryside. At this time, Dad He Donglei also followed closely and chimed in.
"Oh well! Father! Mother! When Yunyan comes back, let's discuss it in detail! ”
He Yun saw that the two elders had made up their minds, and it was not easy to force it anymore, so he had to nod his head and immediately responded to the matter.
…………
In the evening, the family sits around for dinner.
Such a scene has not been seen in He Yun's memory for a long time.
He Yun naturally cherished it extraordinarily, he looked at the old expressions on the faces of his mother and father, and suddenly sighed secretly in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the two of them were already old.
"It's been more than 12 years, and I'm in my thirties! It's ...... to think about."
He Yun, who was full of emotion, couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Then, after dinner, He Yun did not enter the study immediately, but stayed, he planned to accompany the second elder to talk and chat for a while.
But while chatting, his father He Donglei's inadvertent words suddenly reminded him.
"I heard you're about to become a full professor, have you figured out what you're going to do? Will you be a teacher, a writer, or a boss? Why can't it be dragged on like this? ”
"Dad! What do you mean? After He Yun heard what he said, he was immediately stunned and couldn't help but look at his father.
"Me? This is your own future, it should be up to you to decide, what advice can I give you for reference. Father He Donglei shook his head slightly, but did not give He Yun a satisfactory answer.
"Am I in charge?" He Yun muttered, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Where are you headed?
To be a writer, that's what he's been insisting on since he was born again.
And becoming a contemporary writer is a dream he has been pursuing all his life.
However, this dream may not be attainable in his lifetime.
But in fact, it doesn't matter anymore, because he has long been relieved.
It doesn't matter whether you can become a generation of writers, what matters is the process of moving towards becoming a writer.
As long as you can get a lot out of it, that's enough.
And becoming a professor was an unexpected gain in the process of becoming a writer.
From beginning to end, he never thought that he would have everything he has today.
Full professors in their thirties, which is very rare in China.
If you continue to teach and educate people, the end point will be at most the professor level, and don't think about academicians or the like.
As for being a boss, He Yun doesn't really want to do so.
Otherwise, he would have focused on the development of the Internet long ago.
After all, he is very familiar with the future process of the Internet.
But he didn't pay attention to it.
The reason is actually very simple, he doesn't want to get involved.
Such a life was not what he wanted.
"Ahem...... All right! Think about it! You're not old, you're in the prime of life, don't wait until you regret it. He Donglei saw that He Yun had been hesitating, and then after saying a word to him, he turned around and left the restaurant.
At this moment, He Yun was sitting there alone, deep in thought.
…………
As for his future plans, He Yun didn't come up with an answer after thinking about it all night.
However, the next thing that happened to him was to give him some inspiration.
The cause of the matter has to start from the last selection of 100 classic books.
At that time, he went to the first round of the selection and soon participated in the second round three days later.
In the second round, his sci-fi "Hou Yi Running to the Moon" once again entered the sixty recommended books.
What He Yun didn't expect was that a leader of the Ministry of Education also took this as an example, saying that he wanted to consider including such a classic science fiction excerpt into the textbook.
Seriously, He Yun was indeed shocked by this news.
If his science fiction is included in the textbook, it will be a great honor for him.
You must know that the literary works selected for inclusion in the textbook are all classics among the classics.
The fact that his work was selected is a huge affirmation for him.
But the problem is that this is science fiction after all, and it is still a long story, and if you excerpt it, it seems to be a bit difficult.
However, it can be used as a reading comprehension or other type of question in the college entrance examination.
And He Yun felt that this should be possible.
Because he had found several literary works in his own hands on exam questions before.
Although it is not an essay for the college entrance examination, it is also a unified examination in some prestigious schools.
Among them, an affiliated middle school in Kyoto also wrote a letter to him, saying that he used one of his short stories as a reading comprehension.
At that time, he asked for a test to do, and to his surprise, he didn't get the last third of the score.
Even he, the author, didn't know how he got the answers to those reading comprehension questions.
This reminded him of a joke in later generations.
said that it was a certain writer, and his work was successfully selected for the college entrance examination, but after he finished it himself, he found that he didn't get a single question right.
Although this is not very likely, it shows that there is often a big gap between the writer's own understanding of his work and the author's understanding of the work.
At this moment, He Yun was shocked when he learned that his work might be selected for the textbook.
But then, the leader continued: "What I just said is my personal idea, if you have a better proposal, you can put it forward, although this time is not the focus of the discussion, but it is related to the education of our students across the country, you are all experts, scholars, if you have any good suggestions, I hope to be able to speak freely." ”
All right!
This is just the personal idea of a certain leader, not the opinion of the top level of the Ministry of Education.
Also, the compilation of textbooks is not strictly a task of the Ministry of Education.
Rather, it is the textbook writing committee, although it is under the Ministry of Education, but the decision-making power is not entirely in the hands of these leaders.
Of course, this is not really important to He Yun.
Because the chances of his science fiction being selected in textbooks are almost zero.
However, the next proposal of the expert scholar rekindled He Yun's hope.
Because at this time, Mr. Ba Jin, as the chairman of the Writers' Association, recognized He Yun's works, and he felt that He Yun's science fiction "Hou Yi Running to the Moon" could be excerpted as an article in the textbook.
His reason is that most of the textbooks for primary and secondary school students are ancient poetry, prose and realism, while there are almost no other types of articles such as science fiction.
After all, "rejuvenating the country through science and education" is not just a slogan.
It can be said that Mr. Barkin's opinion carries a lot of weight.
He Yun also rekindled new hope at this moment.
It's just that he was disappointed after all.
Many comrades in the educational circles did not approve of Mr. Ba Jin's proposal.
The reason, everyone understands.
Of course, for this result, He Yun can only accept it.
What else could he say.
After all, this is not a discussion of the selected texts for the textbook, it is just a selection of books to read outside of class.
And that's just the recommended books, which means that students can read them or choose not to read them.
Even my own science fiction is not known whether it can be successfully selected into the list of "Thirty Recommended Extracurricular Books".
If you can be elected, it is fine, if you can't be elected, then there is not much to say.
And the final result will have to wait for a few days, and everything will have to wait until next Tuesday to get the final result.
