1987 My Era

Chapter 145: Not having Li Heng is Peking University’s loss (Please subscribe!)
The toilets in the green trains these days are very dirty. As soon as you stand inside for a while, the pungent smell will come over you and take a while to dissipate.

After washing his hands, Li Heng came out and stood in front of the corridor window to blow the hot air and let out some air, but his eyes kept glancing outside.

Although Zhejiang Province had a very developed economy in later generations, it is now not much different from the inland provinces. All you can see are rice fields and low farmhouses. At dusk, the ridges are filled with farmers carrying sacks of harvest.

"What are you looking at? You look so engrossed?" Sun Manning, who had just returned from queuing for hot water, patted his right shoulder and leaned over to look outside.

Li Heng joked, "Just now, I saw a peerless beauty."

Sun Manning stretched his neck and said, "A peerless beauty? Where is she?"

Li Heng looked up at the sky and said, "It flew up into the sky."

Sun Manning responded playfully: "You are talking about Guanyin Bodhisattva, right?"

As the two turned to walk towards the sleeper car, Sun Manning suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Hey? Are the old man and the boy cross-eyed? Why are they staring at you? They stared at you when we came over, and they're staring at you again now?"

Li Heng had also discovered it a long time ago, "It should be that someone's granddaughter is getting married."

"Hehe! Li Heng, why are you so dishonest? Be careful or I will tell Song Yu." Sun Manning said with a smile.

When he got closer, Li Heng stopped in front of the old man and the young man and asked tentatively: "Grandpa, do I look like a descendant of your old friend?"

Seeing what he said, the old principal was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled warmly, "Are you Li Heng?"

Li Heng nodded, looking confused?
The old principal continued to ask: "From Shao City No. 1 Middle School?"

Li Heng looked at Maidong.

Mai Dong stood up, pulled Li Heng to sit on a small stool, and said with a laugh, "Uncle didn't leak your information."

After hearing this, Li Heng became even more confused.

But the next second, when he saw the "Harvest" magazine in Lin Shusen's hand, and then saw that the page of the book was "Cultural Journey", he vaguely understood something?
The old principal observed his micro-expressions with interest, without saying a word, and seemed to find it very interesting.

Li Heng was obviously very young, but being stared at by such a young man, Lin Shusen inexplicably felt a sense of pressure, and later introduced himself: "Li Heng, hello, I am Lin Shusen."

Then he introduced: "The person next to me is my teacher, and also the president of Fudan University."

Lin Shusen didn’t know why the old principal was acting so abnormal today?
It is not clear who this Li Heng is?
But he understood one thing, that the old principal was very concerned about this young man and seemed to value him very much.

So, Lin Shusen, who was particularly curious, simply revealed the identity of the old principal.

Anyway, in his opinion, the old president will also go up to give a speech at Fudan's opening ceremony, and his identity will be exposed at that time. It's just a matter of a few days earlier or later, so it's no big deal.

When Sun Manning heard that it was the president of Fudan University, she was startled and suddenly became extremely nervous. Even her standing posture was not natural. She hurriedly said hello, teacher.

The old principal smiled at Sun Manning, then turned to Li Heng and said coquettishly: "I heard that you are also going to study at Fudan University?"

Well, this old fellow pretended to be so good, and Li Heng shouted, "Teacher."

The old principal smiled and nodded. Seeing the literary giant at the height of his career calling him teacher in a daze, he felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. He then pointed to the article “Cultural Journey” in the magazine “Harvest” and said, “I heard that you wrote this?”

Seeing that he had revealed his true identity, and that he was still such a prestigious person, Li Heng naturally would not be so foolish as to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. He immediately said, "My casual travel experience may not be to your liking."

When facing the older generation of intellectuals, he always shows respect regardless of their own achievements.

The old principal shook his head and said, "You are just being modest. An old man like me can only admire this level, but I can't write it."

Li Heng smiled, and although he felt somewhat proud inside, he kept silent.

Because it's not easy to say anything. If I respond when someone praises me, it would seem too impetuous, after all, I'm old.

To refute it would go against one's conscience, which would be even more hypocritical.

So it is better to remain silent.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Shusen opened his mouth and stared at Li Heng, his brain froze!

Is he December?
Li Heng is the writer of December?

How is that possible?
Is this going against heaven?
No, this is already a success that defies heaven. He’s less than 20 years old and he’s already challenging heaven!
What are you doing at your age?
I just finished an exam, and my mind is still full of thoughts about how to write a love letter to a girl in my class.

Why is there such a big gap between people?
The gap between people can't be so big! How can I live like this?
Lin Shusen looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, then looked at Li Heng, and found that the person in front of him was so dazzling, so eye-catching! No wonder!
No wonder the old president had to retrieve the other party’s file himself. It was indeed a remarkable thing for such a great figure to come to Fudan University.

Lin Shusen seemed to have seen the future, a scene in which Li Heng's statue would be located on campus for students to admire and worship.

Fudan University has always had many outstanding alumni, but those who have reached this level are rare. Moreover, Li Heng is still so young, and his future is limitless!

As he thought about it, Lin Shusen shuddered all over, and his eyes looked at Li Heng even hotter, mixed with envy and admiration!

He wasn't too jealous.

Because he knew that even if there were ten of him, they would not be able to catch up with him. The gap was too huge and it had already exceeded the limits of jealousy.

At this moment, in Lin Shusen's heart, Li Heng was a person on par with the old principal, and his status rose sharply.

Lin Shusen was shocked, and Sun Manning next to him was even more unbearable. The girl almost got her pants wet and was looking at him with an incredible look, as if she wanted to eat him alive!
Hey!
It turns out that the rumors about No. 1 Middle School were not all false!
It turns out that the writer December is really in school!
It turns out it’s you, kid!
But how could it be you, kid? !
It’s so hard for me to keep it a secret!
My father cursed you in the newspaper for two months, and you were just watching the show!

I have become a clown, always showing off in front of you!
Sun Manning's eyes looking at Li Heng were quite complicated! There was excitement and agitation, but more of it was surprise and disbelief, and there was even a hint of wanting to chop him with a knife.

I know you live better than me, but you can't live so much better than me. How can we get along as equals in the future?

At a certain moment, Sun Manning felt worried and afraid of losing a good friend.

But it was only for a moment. After a moment, Sun Manning wanted to reach out and touch Li Heng's head and say: You boy, you are so awesome!

Maidong was also a little uneasy. Although he had guessed it a long time ago, guessing was one thing and admitting it in person was another.

His eyes are now shining with green light. He didn't expect that sending his daughter to school would bring him an unexpected gain and he got to know such a person.

You can brag to your friends and partners for decades!

Maidong did not have a very high level of education, he only graduated from high school, but he respected educated people from the bottom of his heart. This is why he took great pains to marry a wife who graduated from a technical secondary school, and why he fully supported his daughter's study and college entrance examination.

The old principal asked: "Did you come up with the idea of ​​"Cultural Journey" suddenly? Or has it been in the works for a long time?"

The reason why he asked this question was because he talked about these things with an old friend from Peking University at noon, and the two of them were sighing and making speculations.

It is really!
In fact, although "Cultural Journey" has only published 6 chapters, the literary and cultural value it expresses is extremely high, and it fills a gap in the current literary genre, namely "travel notes".

According to an old friend from Peking University: "To Live" made Li Heng famous and established his position in the literary world; and if "Cultural Journey" can continue to maintain such a high standard, when it is completed, Li Heng's pattern will be formed. These two books will directly make Li Heng a god and give him a place in the long history of Chinese literature.

Originally, some senior officials of Peking University and President Sun did not know that Li Heng was the writer December. But some days ago, when Yu Shuheng requested files from Peking University and greeted the admissions office of Fudan University, some people noticed something unusual.

Although Yu Shuheng is just a teacher at Fudan University and is not considered special in the Peking University-Fudan circle, everyone knows that her family background is not simple. Yet she took the initiative to take care of such a small matter. Isn't this against the norm?

Logically, for someone like Li Heng, who chose Peking University as his first choice and Fudan University as his second choice, the teachers in Fudan University's admissions office would be very unhappy.

Even if Peking University is indeed better than Fudan University, which is true, filling out the application form in this way is somewhat disrespectful.

Originally, if Yu Shuheng had not intervened, Fudan Admissions Office would not have planned to admit Li Heng. There are so many students applying for the exam, and they don't need someone like you.

Why should I have to have you?
However, Yu Shuheng didn't care about all that and was too lazy to waste words. She just said lightly: If Fudan doesn't want him, then I will let him go to Peking University.

Hearing this, the person in charge of Fudan University's admissions office was stunned. "Miss Yu, what nonsense are you talking about?" The problem is that he didn't get into Peking University, so how could he go to Peking University?
Are you going to use your connections to force help?
Well, with the power of your Yu family, this matter doesn't require much favor, but Li Heng's background looks like that of a country student. How is he related to you, Yu Shuheng?
Finally, this matter reached the ears of the old principal.

As soon as the old principal heard this, he knew something was fishy, ​​because he knew Yu Yatou and she would not get involved in such matters for no reason, so he called and asked in person out of curiosity.

This time, Yu Shuheng did explain: "Uncle Sun, Li Heng is the author of To Live. It is a loss for Peking University if it doesn't want him."

The old principal put down his teacup and asked, "Is it the December that was so noisy in the newspapers?"

Yu Shuheng said: "That's him."

The old principal was stunned for a long time. After he completely understood the reason, he called Peking University with a gloating look on his face and boasted to his friends there.

The old principal, who seems dignified in the outside world, now looks like a naughty old boy.
