Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 271 Literary Idol
It was the early 80s, and folk literature lovers were like crucian carp crossing the river. Nine out of ten people picked out that they were literature lovers, and the remaining one refused to admit it, insisting that he was a poet and writer.

When the young people present heard Brother Zhenkai's name, they kept moving forward, "Is it really Brother Zhenkai?"

Even the presence of Mao Xueshan and Zheng Weiguo could not stop their enthusiasm.

Brother Zhenkai was immersed in writing on the desk, when he was interrupted, he saw everyone stand up.

"Zhenkai, this is Mao County Mayor of Ping County and Secretary Zheng of the commune. Come here today to see the harvest of our first year of household joint production contract in Hantun. Come and see our talent dormitory."

Mao Xueshan took the attitude towards Professor Guo Wenxing, "Hi, I don't know what to call you, brother Zhenkai or Zhenkai?"

"You'd better tell me to shake off."

He Ping also introduced: "Zhenkai was recommended by a friend in the capital, and now he is temporarily in charge of our Hantun's external publicity work."

"Propaganda to the outside world?" Mao Xueshan asked.

"The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys."

"Is it too early?"

"Not too early, not too early, plan ahead."

Mao Xueshan used the same routine as he did with Guo Wenxing, and the set of things for being a leader is basically the same pattern.

After Mao Xueshan finished speaking with Brother Zhenkai, the young people behind him who were eager to move finally couldn't help but rushed up.

"Brother Zhenkai, hello, I am a poetry lover..."

"Brother Zhenkai, I really like your poem "Answer"..."

……

The 80s was an era full of glory and dreams. At that time, there were three crazes, "reading craze", "philosophy craze" and "theory craze". Young people regarded Nietzsche, Freud, Milan Kundera, and Kafka as Idols, chasing classics, foreign classics and modern poetry, keen on cultural salons, gatherings, and debates, young people at that time seemed to be always high-spirited, thinking about grand propositions.

The emergence of literary and artistic thoughts in the 80s made poetry, a literary form, show amazing vitality, especially the poetry represented by "obscure poetry".This kind of blowout explosion did not come out of nowhere, it was a rebound after long-term depression, and the group of poets headed by brother Zhenkai and others became the literary idols of many young people in the society, and received criticism wherever they went. Welcome idol stars who are not inferior to future generations.

Brother Zhenkai's first collection of novels "Strange Beach" was published in 1978. Once it was released, it caused a sensation among poetry lovers. The poem "Answer" in it became a representative work of misty poetry. The influence is huge.

Under such a background, He Ping would not be surprised by the young people present when they heard Brother Zhenkai's name and made any move.

Not to mention this group of young people, even the members of his reading club, He Ping wanted to give them two feet when he saw Brother Zhenkai's face.

It's so annoying. I'm also a book writer, so why is there such a big difference in treatment.

Brother Zhenkai has long been used to the attitude of young people, and calmly responded to their enthusiasm.

He Ping curled his lips, this guy is used to filling cups.

"I'll show you around." He Ping said to Mao Xueshan.

"Okay." Mao Xueshan saw brother Zhenkai being surrounded, and didn't bother those young people from the government.

"This is our canteen, which can accommodate 100 people eating at the same time."

"This is the reading room and activity room, for the colleagues who live here to relax."

"This is a classroom. We plan to organize evening classes with Yingcheng Agricultural College to improve the cultural and technical knowledge of Hantun members."

He Ping introduced Mao Xueshan one by one, and when he arrived at the classroom, Mao Xueshan was interested, "Why did you think of doing night school?"

"It's a long story to talk about." He Ping told Mao Xueshan about Song Laoliu in detail.

Mao Xueshan frowned more and more when he heard it, "It's only been a few years since the movement, and these snakes, insects, rats and ants have come out again. It's really a resurgence."

"Yeah, it's not an ordinary effort to clean up this kind of rogue."

"Let's deal with this Song Laoliu if there is a suitable opportunity." Mao Xueshan didn't get too entangled in Song Laoliu's matter, "Your thinking is right. The common people, especially those in Han Tun who are generally not highly educated, Once rich and free, it is easy to go on evil paths and needs good guidance. The idea of ​​setting up night schools is a good idea. It not only takes up their leisure time and prevents them from engaging in evil ways, but also improves their cultural level and labor. Skills kill two birds with one stone.”

Mao Xueshan patted He Ping's shoulder happily while talking, "You have a good idea, and it has given me a lot of inspiration. I think this model can be promoted in many places."

"Why don't you have a good eye, you can see the doorway here at a glance." He Ping flattered him.

The classroom was the last stop for Mao Xuedong to visit the dormitory. He and He Ping walked out of the corridor of the dormitory and went outside.

"He Ping, after looking around, you did a good job in Hantun, which exceeded my expectations."

He Ping said modestly: "You are too much."

Mao Xueshan looked at the young man who was about to become the son-in-law of his family, and his love for talent was beyond words, "Why don't you come to our government?"

"Me?" He Ping was a little surprised, why did he suddenly bring up this topic?
"I'm not suitable. You know my personality. The most unbearable thing is the oppressive atmosphere in the government. I don't even have a word of mouth. Maybe someday I will be punished if I offend someone."

He Ping refused without even thinking about it. Not to mention that Mao Xueshan is only the deputy county magistrate now, he is not interested even if the commissioner of the prefectural committee comes to win him over.

He has no shortage of money, and he can be considered to have achieved financial freedom in this era; Quan, he has no major needs, mainly because he is relatively easy to speak on the three-acre land in Hantun, really under one person.

What can go to the government give him, and fight for 20 years to be a director?Still with the support of my father-in-law, it’s boring, I finally crossed over, and it’s not wrong to go to the government to suffer from the bird’s anger.

Besides, the current Hantun is just a piece of white cloth, which is enough for him to display it.

Mao Xueshan only talked about it, but seeing He Ping's resolute refusal, he didn't mention it again.My son-in-law is not only capable of doing things, but also has outstanding talent in writing.Comparing the two, Mao Xueshan felt that writing was more suitable for He Ping.

Being an official in the 80s is not new, but being a writer, or a writer with popular works, has much more benefits than being an official.

After Mao Xueshan encouraged He Ping a few more words, he joined the people he brought.The young people bid farewell to brother Zhenkai, and this time he has gained a few fans again.

He Ping stood on the spot and waved goodbye to Mao Xuedong and the others. Brother Zhenkai stood beside him.

"This is your future father-in-law?"

"Ah."

"Yes, lead the family!"

"go with!"
