Chapter Eighty-Seven: To Be a Writer Loved by the People

"Because you're a great poet!"

Most of the reasons why everyone chose Jiang Yulou as the squad leader are related to this.

My classmate is a nationally renowned poet, and everyone feels honored.

If it weren't for what Teacher Zhou said, one person can only hold one position, and they would like Jiang Yulou to take all the class cadre positions at the same time.

Jiang Yulou smiled bitterly, okay, this can be regarded as a cocoon.

"It's so red, I don't want to."

This is his true heart, he wants to make money in a low-key way more than fame.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

When Jiang Yulou shrugged his shoulders and returned to the dormitory with Wei Guoping, he found that Yu Min and Xu Xiangdong had already returned.

The two also found that Xu Xiangdong seemed to have encountered something happy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed even if he wanted to.

Wei Guoping asked, "Lao Xu, why are you so happy?" ”

Xu Xiangdong pouted, and Yu Min replied in his place with "interest": "Xiangdong is a member of the study committee of our class and a representative of the English class. ”

"Oh, that's good." Jiang Yu said.

Xu Xiangdong's head is higher, the class is all English majors, and choosing him as a study committee member and English class representative is not a recognition of his strength.

There was no reason why he should not be proud.

Wei Guoping congratulated happily, and then said: "What a coincidence, Yulou also became the leader of our class." ”

He added: "I was almost unanimously elected, and I saw with my own eyes that Yulou's own vote chose other classmates in a high-spirited manner." ”

Xu Xiangdong's smile froze, he should have thought that with Jiang Yulou's reputation among students, there was no reason why the classmates in their class should not choose him.

Alas, made a mistake, rejoiced too soon.

Then, several people talked about the interesting things in the class.

At this time, Wei Guoping mentioned Mr. Zhou's dream after graduating from Yan University.

Yu Min longed: "My dream is to stay at Yan University and be satisfied as a university teacher." ”

"Being a teacher?" Wei Guoping couldn't understand Yu Min's thoughts at all.

He worked so hard to be admitted to Yan University, is it just to be a teacher?

Xu Xiangdong pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Yu Min, let me tell you." As long as the graduates of Yan University are not stupid, they will have a good future. Even if you don't have any interest in politics, there is no problem at all in finding a state-owned enterprise with good treatment, and you will earn more and work less, which is better than being a teacher, I don't know how many times. ”

"Really?" Yu Min was stunned and asked.

"Of course, I'll tell you......"

Wei Guoping, as a disciple of the big courtyard at the foot of the capital, was clear about the doorway inside, and probably told Yu Min about it, and the other party was moved.

Yu Min nodded and said with a smile: "It's good to go to a state-owned enterprise, drought and flood to ensure income." ”

He turned to Xu Xiangdong and asked, "What about you?" ”

Xu Xiangdong replied confidently: "This still needs to be asked, of course I went to the United States!" ”

Kochi family background, fair looks, unique opinions, enthusiasm and confidence...... No matter from which point of view, Xu Xiangdong is a real pride of the sky, even in the place where Yenching University gathers outstanding talents from all over the country, it is also a small group standing at the top of the pyramid.

But he is such an excellent talent, but he regards America as his dream and ultimate goal in life.

Wei Guoping also agreed with his statement: "The United States is an excess of democracy and freedom, with strong national strength, advanced science and technology, developed economy, and very good welfare of the people, as long as you go to the United States, you can live a happy life." ”

Then, Xu Xiangdong and Wei Guoping paid tribute to the two "soil buns" to popularize the strength and wealth of the United States.

Jiang Yulou just said "hehe" twice, didn't say anything, and he couldn't tell a few people that the United States was not as good as he imagined.

It's just that he, a dirt bun who has lived in the countryside for eighteen years, where did he learn about the good or bad of America?

It's still the honeymoon period between China and the United States, and from the official to the non-governmental, I haven't heard anything bad about the United States.

It is easy to go to the United States in later generations, although there are still many families who will find ways to immigrate to the United States, earn money and spend money, and live a luxurious life of capitalism, but unlike many Kochi in this era, they regard America as their lifelong pursuit.

For future generations, Xu Xiangdong's ideals are indeed naΓ―ve, and there are some ridiculous, but he knows very well that this is not a simple "admiration for foreigners", it is a problem of the times, in 1979, the college entrance examination was only restored for three years, less than two years of reform and opening up, China and the United States have just established diplomatic relations, and many new things have given young people material and spiritual impact.

Whether it is official or non-governmental propaganda, the United States is the most powerful country in the world.

People have a strong mentality, and in this era, the Soviet Union has not yet fallen, the United States wants to compete with the Soviet Union, and the domestic people's lives are really good, so the United States has become the target of public pursuit.

This is like a person's growth, first to learn, accumulate enough knowledge to have a clear positioning of themselves, and then learn to think, and then make changes to make themselves better, more progressive, and more perfect.

Now these students' yearning for America is like being in the learning stage, when they know what it is, but they don't know why. From their point of view, no one knows why they did it, but outside information tells us that it was the right thing to do.

Over the years, it is not difficult to understand that the elite is interested in the United States.

"American ......" Yu Min pushed the frame of his glasses, his face had a few different looks, and Xu Xiangdong and Wei Guoping's words opened a door to a new world for him.

As a real farmer's child, being admitted to Yan University is enough to show off in ten miles and eight towns, and it is even more unimaginable to stay in Yan University to teach, and then settle down in Yanjing, but now, Xu Xiangdong and Wei Guoping have set a new goal for him, and you can imagine what kind of impact it will have on Min.

"However, it's right that you want to stay and teach at Yan University. It must be difficult to get a visa to the United States if you can afford it, and it is more realistic to stay in school. Xu Xiangdong made no secret of his disapproval of Min.

In his opinion, a turtle who can't even speak English should not have the kind of daydream that is destined to be unrealizable.

What Yu Min didn't know was that he was very outdated and very earthy in the eyes of Xu Xiangdong, but in fact, these people fell in Jiang Yulou's eyes, so why wasn't it.

"Hey, by the way, Yulou, what about your dreams?"

Wei Guoping was very curious about how Jiang Yulou would answer, after all, his expression was too calm, and he didn't seem to have any hope for the future, but this was unrealistic, so he wanted to know his opinion.

Xu Xiangdong and Yu Min also looked at him, and before they knew it, Jiang Yulou already had a pivotal position in the dormitory.

Jiang Yulou replied truthfully: "I want to be a writer loved by the people." ”
