Chapter XXIV
I don't know who is so well-informed and so enthusiastic about gossip, and soon the touching story of me and Bao Lina being honorably injured for running a publication will spread within a certain range. This certain scope includes not only my Chinese department and Bao Lina's journalism department, but also the entire Yuxin Literature Club and related personnel and even relevant teachers. Li Yun should also know, but I haven't figured out how to deal with her questioning.
The day after the accident, I found the culprit, a brick, who put a brick on the side of the road, and I happened to trip over the wheel of the brick while riding that day, so strictly speaking, it was not my fault.
I dragged the broken car, which no one had taken away overnight, like a dead dog, to the garage outside the back of the school, and it took twenty dollars to get it in order. Of course, I also removed the sponge from the handlebars and replaced them with regular gloves. My plan was to leave the car to me, and then go to my mother to apply for a special payment for the car and buy a new bicycle for Bao Lina.
That evening, Chen Yifan suddenly came to my bedroom to see me, and I was about to go out to turn on the water, Chen Yifan saw me at the door and said, "How are you, are you okay?" ”
I said it's okay, just scratch some skin, you see I'm going to turn on the water, let's talk as we go.
Chen Yifan politely snatched the two boiling water bottles, he was big, and he carried two boiling water bottles as if he was playing.
Chen Yifan first expressed his cordial condolences to me and Bao Lina's hanging color, and then told me two things: first, the Literary Society will hold a dance party next week, and there are not enough people so they want me to help. Second, last time, Mr. Zeng from the publishing house, who was the editor, compiled an anthology of young poetry for young people in the new era, and my works were also selected, but it was said that each selected person had to underwrite ten books, in other words, not only did he not have a manuscript fee, but he also had to pay for it. In addition, there is actually one more thing, but it is not too urgent at the moment, that is, the journal will be closed in November this year, that is, next month, so I will sort out all the selected manuscripts when I have time, and I will contact those authors separately. Although it is said that there will be no manuscript fee for them, it is still appropriate to send a publication after a notice.
I nodded and agreed one by one, and suddenly I remembered something, so I asked Chen Yifan: "Is our publication not supported by funds?" ”
Chen Yifan nodded yes, indeed, the Youth League Committee will not give a penny, it all depends on two ways, one is for members to pay membership fees, and the other is to hold a dance party.
I thought for a while and said, "Senior, why don't we set up a tertiary industry of our own community?" ”
"What tertiary sector?" Chen Yifan paused for a moment, and then understood, after all, he still has the limitations of the times.
"If you have any ideas, just say it, by the way, don't call me senior, call me old, just call me by my name."
"Hehe, it's actually nothing, I'm just thinking that it would be nice if our club could open a newsstand. You think, it's ridiculous that such a big H big (in fact, H big is not big), and there is not even a newsstand on campus. ”
"But there's a Xinhua bookstore."
"But will you buy it at that bookstore?"
"No, the books are too expensive, and there aren't many good books."
"That's it. The editor of that publishing house can help us solve some of the supply problems, and I have thought that this newsstand may become one of our pillar industries in the future. ”
"Pillar industry?" Chen Yifan's eyes widened, and now the way he looks at me is a little bit like a flying immortal outside the sky.
I pretended to cough and concentrated on walking, but Chen Yifan was thoughtfully carrying the water bottle, in a trance. Suddenly, he stopped, smiled and said to me as if he had opened his mind: "Well, your idea is also very good, at least if our students from the Literature Club come to buy books, they can get a discount, which is also a special benefit of joining the Literature Club, haha." ”
I was speechless. I feel a little inexplicably ashamed to be with people like me, who have been polluted by money, and to be with these people who are pure in their minds and noble ideals in the late eighties.
In the next few days, our whole class was discussing the autumn outing, and in the end, squad leader Shen actually chose the H State Botanical Garden. I believe that any elementary school or nursery class will usually choose the H State Zoo or the H State Botanical Garden for their first outdoor activity, either to see animals or plants. But as a college-level outdoor activity, it would be fun to choose to go to the botanical garden, if only the biology teacher from our high school school was there.
Hong Tao was very excited that day, and in his opinion, choosing a botanical garden was a brilliant idea. First, the scenery is good, there is a lot of grass, and it is easy to engage in group games such as sitting in groups and dividing fruits. The second is close to H University, you can walk to it, you must know that it is not easy for 32 people to take the bus together, if you ride a bicycle, the vast majority of students in this class do not have a car at all. Third, the botanical garden is very large and there are many hidden places, so it is easy to find someone to talk to during the free time. As for who to talk to, only he Hongtao knows this in his heart.
When we arrived at the botanical garden, we first climbed the Lingfeng hill, which is actually a mountain bag that is less than 100 meters away, and we climbed it after dividing it by two. Next, the squad leader Hong Tao led everyone to find a flat grassland in the bamboo forest garden, saying that he was going to play a game. I thought, what kind of game can be played on the grass, it can't be a children's game like drumming and passing flowers, right?
I really guessed it, squad leader Shen really took out a rattle from his schoolbag and said, "Let's play drumming and pass flowers, and whoever passes it will perform a show." "I almost fell to the ground, what age is this, Squad Leader Shen won't be the head of the kindergarten class.
Also, how did he get his hands on this unearthed artifact-like rattle? What kind of flowers are passed on?
Soon there was an answer, and the class leader asked the girls to contribute two handkerchiefs immediately. He glared at Xie Na majestically, and Xie Na offered one of her floral handkerchiefs with a bitter face. Then no one made a handkerchief, and the squad leader had to smile at Liu Lili with a shy face, laughing so creepy that Liu Lili contributed a white handkerchief. I hadn't seen a handkerchief for several years, because in later years I saw only a handkerchief with a tissue.
Thirty-two people giggled in a circle, Hong Tao took the drum and said I came first, and then I was going to take the white handkerchief blindfolded, I hurriedly said wait a minute, I will make a "flower" first. As I spoke, I took the floral handkerchief from Hong Tao, and after a little stroke, a cute handkerchief mouse jumped into life. This is the craft my son taught me.
The classmates laughed wildly when they saw it, and Liu Lili laughed so much that she held her stomach and said, "Are you making flowers or mice?" I said solemnly, "It's a flower mouse." ”
Laugh aside, the game still has to be played. While playing the game, I thought that I should find an excuse to talk to Li Yun, she never came to me again in the past two days, and she hid away during meals, so I always felt guilty in my heart.
Jin Puguang was unfortunately caught first, and he touched his forehead and couldn't think of anything good to perform for a long time. Liu Lili said, then you can learn how to bark dogs. Jin Puguang was not angry at all, and said with a smile, by the way, I can really learn how to bark.
After he finished speaking, he learned the sound of a dog barking, and when he barked, he stopped to tell us what kind of dog barked, and he imitated many types of dogs.
The second person to be arrested was Li Yun, she stood up expressionlessly and said, I'll perform a poetry recitation, and as she spoke, she recited a poem with emotion, and that poem is called dust. It was the poem I wrote on the letterhead, and she copied it and sent it to Du Qing's bedroom herself.
The last stanza of the poem reads:
"Love you, or lose you.
Go back in time, or extinguish hope.
Sighing in the dust,
It was my restless dancing heart. ”
I listened to her crisp and sweet voice as if I were on pins and needles, and although she was reciting the poem I had written, what I thought of at this moment was a kiss under the rose. I paid attention to Li Yun's expression, but I couldn't see any expression on her face, she was just reciting poems seriously.
Li Yun's recitation caused unanimous applause from the classmates, who obviously didn't know who wrote this poem, and I heard a female classmate whisper with emotion that this should be Xu Zhimo's poem, it was really well written.
