Chapter 19: Literary Resonance
As soon as Jiang Yulou entered the gate of Jian Xing's house, a Chinese pastoral dog burst out and barked at him.
Maybe it was the barking of the dog, maybe it was Jiang Yulou's inquiry just now that alarmed the people in the house, and after a while, a young man wearing glasses and khaki clothes walked out.
This man is the owner of the house, the village teacher Jian Xing.
After Jian Xing came out of the house, he glanced at Jiang Yulou suspiciously, "Are you?" "Although he is a person from a village, he has a single social network, and he doesn't know many people, even if he has seen Jiang Yulou, he has long forgotten what he looks like.
After seeing the owner come out, the pastoral dog obediently returned to his own territory and lay on the ground, but the pair of small eyes were still dripping and spinning, staring vigilantly at the stranger in front of him.
"Teacher Jane forgot about me? I am Jiang Jianguo's second son, Jiang Yulou, and you have been to my house today. I heard my mother say that Mr. Jian wanted to read the magazine "Contemporary", no, I brought it to you. ”
Jiang Yulou explained his intention with a smile.
Jian Xing slapped his forehead apologetically: "Look at me, I'm presumptuous when I say it." ”
"Teacher Jiang, I'll call you Teacher Jiang." As he spoke, he took Jiang Yulou's hand and enthusiastically brought it into the house: "Come, Mr. Jiang, let's talk in the house." ”
"Don't you dare to be called a teacher." Jiang Yulou had the heart to refuse, but Jian Xing didn't hear it.
After entering the house, the two were confronted by a young woman.
The woman wears coarse cloth clothes, is not tall, and is not ugly, but it has nothing to do with good looks.
"Yufen, this is the second son of Uncle Jiang Jianguo Jiang in the village, and he is a great writer in our Shanghe Village." Jian Xing took Jiang Yulou's hand and introduced it in front of the woman.
He genuinely praised Jiang Yulou, not mocking.
"Teacher Jiang, this is my daughter-in-law Zhang Yufen."
Jiang Yulou hurriedly said hello: "Hello sister-in-law." ”
He was a little surprised, Jian Xing was a young man from the city, but he didn't expect to find a rural woman as his wife in the end.
It's not that I look down on rural women, it's just that there is a huge gap between the two, and in the future, more and more educated youths will return to their hometowns, and many of them are actually married in rural areas.
However, in this era, it is many times more difficult to get a city hukou than in later generations. It is okay for educated youths to return to their hometowns, but they can only go back alone.
This has also caused many human tragedies of abandoning wives and children, which has made people in later generations sigh.
Don't look at the two who are married now, but will the future develop in the direction of a rupture?
The affairs of the two husbands and wives have nothing to do with him, and he doesn't have to bother himself, maybe Mr. Jian is a person who loves his wife.
"Hello Mr. Jiang." Zhang Yufen saw that Jiang Yulou was young, but she didn't dare to hold it up.
Even if her husband has to call her teacher, she has to respect it.
Although she is uneducated, she is a sensible woman, she knows that her husband is in trouble, and she does not bother, and cooks by herself.
Zhang Yufen was busy, and Jian Xing didn't care, but still took Jiang Yulou's hand to his study:
"Teacher Jiang, sit, the place is small, don't dislike it."
"Don't dislike, don't dislike. I didn't expect Teacher Jian to have another cave in his house. ”
Jiang Yulou noticed that there were many books on the shelves in the study, including quotations, literary works, and novels. He pulled out a random one, and he could see obvious traces of flipping through it, but the book was fairly well preserved.
It seems that while reading, Teacher Jian also pays great attention to the preservation of books.
The books on this shelf are not cheap at all, and even if they are second-hand books, they will cost a lot of money to buy them.
Combined with the furnishings of Mr. Jane's house and the clothes of the husband and wife, it seems that the money was spent on the book.
What a book lover!
This is definitely a compliment, without a hint of sarcasm.
In this era of lack of entertainment, books are the spiritual food for educated youths like Jian Xing.
At the same time, it is also the spiritual pillar for them to persevere in such a difficult environment.
Although the study room is simple and cramped, it is not crowded for two people.
While pouring tea for Jiang Yulou, Jian Xing said with a smile: "I have been friends with Yulou for a long time. ”
"I have heard all about Mr. Jiang's deeds, which is very good, and it can be said that everyone knows about it in our Yangping County."
"Me?" Jiang Yulou pointed at himself and said in amazement: "Teacher Jian, what deeds do I have?" ”
"Teacher Jiang is modest, the first time he writes, his work can be published, and it is also a literary magazine in the capital, and our educated youth in Yangping County are all envious." Jian Xing said enviously.
Jiang Yulou said modestly: "I'm ashamed, thanks to the teachers in the editorial department, I am very lucky to think about it now." ”
"It's also Mr. Jiang's talent that is superior to others." Jian Xingzheng said: "The first time I write, I can publish it in a literary magazine, and I can count the entire Shaanxi region on one hand." ”
Jiang Yulou was silent, he did not deny that he was talented, but in the final analysis, he was also standing on the shoulders of giants, so he could get twice the result with half the effort.
"Actually, we educated youths admire you very much."
"Huh?"
"Because you dare to pursue your dreams!" Jian Xing said excitedly: "I admire the person who dares to pursue his dreams the most, Mr. Jiang, in such a difficult environment, do not forget to be obsessed with creation, there will definitely be one of the well-known writers in the land of Guanzhong in the future!" ”
Originally, the career of educated youth was very hard, and what was even more bitter was that there was no one to communicate with.
Just when he was desperate for the future, a Jiang Yulou suddenly appeared in the village.
For an educated youth and literary youth like him, the lethality is very great.
He felt that he had found spiritual resonance, so after getting the news, he impatiently went to Jiang's house to find Jiang Yulou.
Borrowing magazines is fake, but wanting to make friends with Jiang Yulou is real.
At that time, he was still a little disappointed, but he didn't expect to see the main owner so soon.
"Teacher Jian praised it falsely."
Jiang Yulou felt ashamed for a while, his original intention of writing the novel was only because of the writer's high income.
Immediately, he handed the magazine sample to Jian Xing.
Jian Xing's stroking sample magazine like stroking a treasure is even more appreciated by everyone after reading the novels written by Jiang Yulou.
"Mr. Jiang, do you have any creative plans recently?"
Jian Xing was really curious.
As mentioned before, the conditions in the village are poor, unlike in the city, where there are many means of entertainment.
His only hobby is reading.
And Jiang Yulou's novel he read, it was well written, and it was unexpectedly good.
At this time, he is naturally very much looking forward to the other party's next work.
Now that Jiang Yulou appeared in front of him, he naturally had the idea of urging him to change.
Jiang Yulou had nothing to do, so he replied: "It is being created, and it is a novel of the loess literary genre." ”
