1987 My Era

Chapter 169, The Name of Wheat Ear, a Major Event That Shocked Fudan University (Please Subscribe!)
"I don't know where I can buy this thing in Shanghai? When I find it, I'll let you see it." Li Heng said while listening to the beautiful sound of the ocarina.

Mai Sui was a little excited and said yes.

After listening to three songs in a row, editor Zou Ping came in the rain.

The weather was getting colder, and Li Heng asked, "Old Zou, why are you here at this time?"

Zouping took down two large bags from the van: "These are all letters from readers. The magazine office can't hold them all, so I picked some and sent them to you."

As he spoke, the other party grabbed Li Heng's hand again and said excitedly:

“Your Cultural Journey is so popular that the August issue has sold 8 million copies so far.

Do you know what 168 million copies means? It broke the magazine record again, making Harvest surpass People's Literature to become the best-selling literary journal in China! The editor-in-chief said, you have made a great contribution! "

A while ago, Li Heng took a special look at the newspaper. The discussion was heated and most of the comments were positive. He had an idea of ​​how such results could be achieved.

But even though I have a number, I was still very happy to hear that 178 million copies were sold, especially since it was able to surpass People's Literature. Although it was short-lived, it is indeed a remarkable achievement!
As a scholar, this is a symbol of strength and honor. In the future, you can go out and brag about it without feeling guilty. You are so confident!

Mai Sui poured two cups of hot tea, one for each person.

Then she whispered to Li Heng, "It's time for dinner. Do you want to cook for Editor Zou?"

Li Heng asked back: "You can cook? You can only fry eggs, right?"

Mai Sui smiled shyly, and after a while said, "I can wash the rice and vegetables and help you."

Li Heng waved his hand and said, "I'm too lazy to move today, let's go out to eat."

After hearing this, Mai Sui stopped asking questions and just sat aside and listened to the two of them bragging about their business.

After chatting for about 10 minutes, Zou Ping suddenly slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot about the important matter. The October issue is already being typeset. Lao Li, I'm here to pick up the manuscript today."

Li Heng asked: "How much do you want?"

Zouping said, "I have already vacated 10 chapters. Do you have that many?"

"Ten chapters? Yes!" Li Heng got up and went to the study and took down the manuscripts of 10 chapters.

He has already written the 22nd chapter so far. Excluding the 8 chapters in August and the 6 chapters this time, he only has 10 chapters left, which is not enough for the next issue. He suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

"Give."

"Eh."

Zou Ping took it happily, and without caring about anything, he just flipped through it in front of the two of them. He said he was reading, but he was also checking the quality.

Including him, Editor-in-Chief Liao, and everyone in "Harvest" magazine, everyone is looking forward to the sequel of "Cultural Journey". There is no other way, the influence is too great. The magazine has finally surpassed "People's Literature", and everyone is very proud of it.

When walking outside, your back is always straight!

After reading two articles in one breath, Zouping's face was filled with joy, and his delight was beyond words: "Old Li, it's really well written!"

Li Heng smiled and nodded, OK!

Besides, after spending so much effort on it and with such a great foundation based on the original work, how could it be bad?

If anyone dares to say something bad, he will roll up his sleeves and slap him to death.

After carefully putting away the 10 manuscripts, Zou Ping suddenly invited him, "Old Li, you are now a great contributor to our Harvest. Do you want to visit the magazine?"

Li Heng was somewhat tempted, but later declined, "I will definitely go and see it after I finish my work and writing Cultural Journey."

He meant what he said. Having been in Shanghai for so long, he naturally had to go and see his great benefactor, Mr. Ba.

However, he didn't know what gift to bring when he went to her house. At her level, she had everything she needed, so he might as well finish writing "Cultural Journey" and use this gimmick as a gift when he went to her house.

Zou Ping had been in the magazine for so many years, and he was quite shrewd. He understood what he meant almost immediately, "Okay, call me when the time comes, and I'll pick you up."

Li Heng nodded.

After chatting for a while, Zouping drove away in the van without even eating, saying that Editor-in-Chief Liao was still waiting for him at the magazine and he had to hurry back.

After watching the car disappear at the door, Li Heng went back to the house and opened the two packages. Instantly, hundreds or even thousands of letters from readers came into view.

After a quick look, I found that they come from all over the world.

It was the first time for Mai Sui to experience such a scene, and the shock in his heart was even more intense than that of Li Heng, the person involved. He fumbled with his hands for a while, raised his head and asked, "Do you want to go back?"

Li Heng was too busy to reply to her letters, but seeing the indescribable light in her eyes, he said, "Please help me pick five letters, and I will find time to reply."

"Okay." After receiving the task, Mai Sui immersed himself in reading readers' letters.

However, the workload was too large and she was unwilling to just do it carelessly, so she spent half an hour picking out only two.

Seeing this, Li Heng pulled her out and said, "My aunt, stop being picky. Let's go eat first. I'm almost fainting from hunger."

Mai Sui smiled tenderly, withdrew her hand calmly, turned around to lock the door, and got on the bicycle.

"Where are we going to eat?" After leaving Lushan Village, Li Heng put his feet on the ground and stopped at a fork in the road and asked.

Mai Sui raised his right wrist and glanced at it, apologetically saying, "At this time, the cafeteria doesn't have much food left. Either order some stir-fried dishes or go out to eat."

Speaking of stir-fried dishes, Fudan University cafeteria has just launched them in response to popular demand, but the dishes are very expensive. For example, a dish of pickled cabbage with vinegar costs one dollar.

Eating a big pot dish, with one meat dish and one vegetable dish full of meat, only costs 4 to 6 cents.

Damn it, isn’t this robbery?

But even with such expensive dishes, there are still people who eat them, and quite a lot of them. Most of them are city dwellers with relatively good family conditions, and they either invite friends or bring the opposite sex to show off.

It was almost dark. Thinking that Mai Sui's graceful figure was quite attractive to men and not so safe, he gave up the idea of ​​going out to eat. He turned the faucet, stepped on the pedals and headed straight for the cafeteria.

As expected, there was not much left in the big pot, only some soup, but the stir-fry section was still quite lively.

Fortunately, it was past meal time, so they didn’t have to wait in line for too long and ordered three dishes: sweet and sour fish, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, and a small cabbage.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Mai Sui lowered his voice and joked, "It's too late. A lot of people were looking at you just now."

"Is there?" Li Heng looked around and unexpectedly found a classmate in the class, Bai Wanying.

Bai Wanying sat in a wheelchair and walked slowly towards the corner. However, when she reached the middle, the spoon in her hand was knocked to the ground by someone. The group of boys were talking and laughing loudly and did not notice this.

Seeing that the girl was trying hard to pick up the spoon, Li Heng didn't think much about it. He subconsciously stood up and went over to help pick up the spoon. He also helped to wash it under the faucet in front, "Student Bai, here you go."

"Thank you!" Bai Wanying expressed her gratitude with a big smile.

Li Heng asked: "Where do you want to sit?"

Bai Wanying pointed to the front right: "There."

"I'll push you over." Li Heng said.

Bai Wanying waved her hand: "No, no, I can do it myself."

Seeing that she was self-reliant, Li Heng did not force her way in. He followed her to her seat and asked, "Are you here alone today?"

Bai Wanying smiled and shook her head, looking behind him.

Li Heng turned around and unexpectedly saw Zhang Bing in his sight, holding two bottles of soda in his hands. It seemed that he had just gone to buy soda.

Their eyes met, and Zhang Bing reacted quickly. He gave a bottle of soda to Bai Wanying and one to Li Heng, and asked, "Mr. Li, are you eating alone?"

Li Heng didn't ask for the soda, but put it on the table and said, "I came here with my high school classmates."

Following his finger, Zhang Bing and Bai Wanying saw wheat ears.

Bai Wanying asked: "Her name is Mai Sui, right?"

Li Heng asked: "Do you know each other?"

Bai Wanying shook her head: "I don't know her, but her beauty is well-known among the girls in our school."

Zhang Bing then said, "Indeed, I often heard the name "Wheat Ear" in the boys' dormitory these past two days."

Bai Wanying asked: "Are you dating?"

Li Heng said: "We were very good friends in high school."

After chatting for a while, Li Heng got up and left, worried that he would neglect Mai Sui.

At the same time, he also felt that the friendship between Zhang Bing and Bai Wanying developed too quickly, and they were vaguely averse to outsiders, as could be seen from the time they chose to eat and their corner seat.

In fact, after thinking about it carefully, Li Heng understood the whole thing. Zhang Bing was married, and he didn't want others to see him interacting with his friends of the opposite sex.

Because of her disability, Bai Wanying looks very optimistic on the surface, but she has an instinctive defense mechanism in her heart. She is strong, but also fragile, and does not want to be treated with sympathy or strange eyes.

When Li Heng sat down, Mai Sui had already brought three dishes and two bowls of rice, and handed him a pair of chopsticks: "Aren't you fainting from hunger? Eat something to fill your stomach."

Li Heng took the chopsticks and asked, "Aren't you curious about why I went there just now?"

Mai Sui smiled and said, "If you are willing to share with me, you will tell me. If you don't tell me, there must be a reason. I shouldn't ask."

Li Heng sighed: "You are so considerate. If anyone marries you in the future, it will be a great honor. It must be the blessing of your ancestors for eighteen lifetimes."

Mai Sui was playful for once: "Didn't you say before that I look good for my husband?"

Li Heng gave a thumbs up: "Yes."

Having said this, the two smiled at each other and started to eat.

During the meal, Li Heng briefly talked about the information about Zhang Bing and Bai Wanying.

Mai Sui was surprised: "He is Zhang Bing?"

Li Heng hummed.

Mai Sui looked back at the corner calmly, "Now I understand why the two of them are sitting there."

Li Heng nodded: "They are still limited by the concepts of the times and are still not very open-minded. They will gradually get better when they are familiar with university life in the future."

Speaking of the concepts of the times, Mai Sui looked at him and couldn't help but think of the fact that he was entangled with three women at the same time: Song Yu, Xiao Han and Chen Zijin.

Receiving her strange look, Li Heng narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

Mai Sui lowered his head and smiled, saying nothing.

After dinner, the two took a walk on campus. Li Heng said, "Why don't you buy a bicycle? It will be convenient for you to bring Manning to visit me on a regular basis."

He didn't offer to help buy it because there was no need. Firstly, the girl's family was very rich, and secondly, she would definitely refuse.

Mai Sui looked at him but didn't agree.

Li Heng said, "I will go to the bank tomorrow to cash the draft and deposit it, and then I will return the 500 to you."

This time Mai Sui agreed.

He has been very busy recently and has no time to go to the bank. He also doesn't know whether banks in a big place like Shanghai are open on holidays.
After walking along the tree-lined path for most of the campus, they felt a little tired. When they planned to find a place to rest in Yanyuan, they met a passionate couple under the shade of the Red Building, who were secretly kissing behind the tree trunk.

Mai Sui was a little dazed, his mouth opened in shock, and he slammed on the brakes and stopped where he was.

Li Heng was also a little surprised. He put his index finger on her red lips in time, said "hush", pulled her back, and then turned and left without disturbing her. The scene just now was very passionate. Judging from the extent and proficiency of the kiss, the couple must be repeat offenders. The French romantic tongue kissing had a great impact on Mai Sui's three views.

Look, the girl kept walking and kept walking forward. After a long time, she came to her senses and asked, "Aren't they afraid of being caught by the school?"

Li Heng laughed and said, "You hid in that damn place just because you were afraid of being caught. I just didn't expect that we would be so unethical as to take a walk down that path."

Mai Sui was a thin-skinned person after all. After he came to his senses, he just laughed along and didn't respond to the conversation anymore.

...

After 8 o'clock in the evening, the two separated downstairs of the No. 12 female dormitory.

Mai Sui returned to the dormitory.

After watching her enter the dormitory lobby, Li Heng also returned to his own dormitory.

I hadn't been back to the dormitory for two days. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, I would hear Li Guang, Hu Ping, Li Guoyi, Tang Dailing and Zhou Zhangming quarreling and arguing.

Zhang Bing smoked a cigarette and watched them argue.

The five people were arguing about whether Wei Xiaozhu from the School of Philosophy was prettier, or Liu Yue from their class, or Mai Sui from the Finance and Accounting Class 1 was prettier.
The five fucking bastards each held their own opinions, rolled up their sleeves, spitted everywhere, and argued with reason and evidence. No one was willing to give in to anyone else.
Hu Ping said that Wei Xiaozhu was the most beautiful, with eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips that were all very three-dimensional and distinctive. She was the type that would stand out among a crowd of people or among beauties.

Li Guang is a staunch supporter of Liu Yue. He criticized Hu Ping for failing to distinguish between public and private affairs and for using public means to take revenge on personal grudges. Just because Liu Yue threw his three love letters into the trash can, he kept insisting that Liu Yue was no match for Wei Xiaozhu.

Zhou Zhangming said that wheat ears are the most feminine, the kind that you never get tired of looking at, and such women become more attractive as they get older.

Hearing this, Li Heng took the cigarette handed over by Zhang Bing, lit it and took two puffs, then interrupted and asked:

"Brothers, what's going on? Where's Zhou Shihe, the one you praised before?"

Zhou Zhangming said: "It's hard to compare Zhou Shihe. If she were to be included, the balance would be off."

Oh, so that's how it is. Li Heng understood and said, "You guys keep going, keep fighting, and if you lose, Lao Zhang and I will take you to the hospital."

A few words of inflammatory discussion caused the five people, who were already dissatisfied, to start arguing again. Their eyes almost popped out of their heads, their faces flushed, and they were about to have a fight.

In order to win the support of Li Guoyi and Tang Dailing, Li Guang, Hu Ping and Zhou Zhangming all did the work of later generations' salesmen, trying their best to promote their supporters to the two.

Li Guoyi was a little embarrassed, saying that each had its own merits and it would be against his conscience to favor either one.

Tang Dailing had a clear preference and supported Wei Xiaozhu.

The reason was that he had never spoken to Liu Yue, let alone know Mai Sui, and did not understand them. On the contrary, because of eating together in the social dormitory, he was most familiar with Wei Xiaozhu.

Hearing this, Hu Ping grinned and happily hugged Tang Dailing and spun around.

Li Guang and Zhou Zhangming were not convinced! While trying to win over Li Guoyi, they also turned their attention to Zhang Bing and Li Heng.

Li Heng was the first to wave his hand: "Don't call me, it's not fair. After all, I have never met Wei Xiaozhu."

A few people thought it made sense, and then they all directed their firepower at Zhang Bing.

Zhang Bing said: "I'm married. This is a matter for you young people. I won't get involved."

But it was useless. Li Guang's words "Don't think we don't know that you and Bai Wanying are close" dragged Zhang Bing into the whirlpool.

Seeing that their team was getting bigger and bigger, and the methods used to recruit people were getting more and more despicable, it was difficult to tell who was better. Li Heng suddenly stood up and shouted, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Hearing the sound, the six people stopped firing and turned to look at Li Heng.

Li Heng closed the door and said, "Don't argue like this. It's meaningless. There will be no result even if you argue until tomorrow. I suggest you come up with some gimmicks.

First, each of you should think seriously for 3 minutes without talking during this time, and then start voting. You can write one or two names on each paper, but not all three. The one with the most votes wins. "

Hu Ping asked: "Lao Li, what's the gimmick?"

Li Heng said: "The gimmick must be strong, otherwise you won't think seriously. I think this is the way to go."

As Li Heng told the six people about his tricks, their faces changed drastically, and they wished they could eat Li Heng alive on the spot.

Li Heng quietly retreated to the door and prepared to run away when he saw that the situation was not right.

After a long silence, Li Guoyi said fiercely: "It's feasible, I support it!"

Hu Ping followed suit and said, "I think it's good."

Li Guang frowned, "It's too embarrassing for the loser, right?"

Hu Ping provoked him: "If you can't let go, don't play. Admit that Liu Yue is not as good as others."

Li Guang jumped up and down: "Damn it! Come on, I'm not afraid of you."

The three agreed and looked at the other three.

Tang Dailing and Zhou Zhangming raised their hands at the same time.

Finally, Zhang Bing was the only one left. Faced with the siege of five people, he had no choice but to open for business.

Li Heng was the host, and asked them to prepare their own papers and pens. He said, "Get ready!

The timer starts. You have 3 minutes to think. Whoever speaks during this time will automatically give up and be considered the loser. "

There were six of us sitting in our seats, you looked at me, I looked at you, and no one dared to say a word.

The scene was like a pair of western cowboys about to duel, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

Li Heng took out a bag of spiced melon seeds from the drawer and cracked them slowly. He asked Zhang Bing, who was the closest to him, "Old Zhang, would you like to crack some melon seeds?"

Zhang Bing almost said "No need", but after he came to his senses, he turned his back to him and ignored him.

Well, not to be fooled, Li Heng did not give up and tried to seduce the others one by one, but they all turned their backs to him, leaving him with nothing but muttering:
"It's a pity that you don't even eat the fragrant melon seeds. What a pity!"

Three minutes is neither long nor short. As the last second was up, Li Heng said, "Okay! Time is up. Comrades, please write your names quickly."

Swish, swish, swish, it was just a name, and he started writing. It didn't take much time. In less than 20 seconds, 6 notes were in Li Heng's hands.

Seeing everyone gathered around, Li Heng didn't waste any words and quickly counted:

"Liu Yue and Wei Xiaozhu each have one vote."

"One vote for Wei Xiaozhu."

"One vote for wheat ears."

"."

After counting the 6 slips of paper one by one, the results came out quickly.

Liu Yue got 3 votes.

Wheat ears 3 votes.

Wei Xiaozhu 2 votes.

Seeing the number of votes, Hu Ping's face darkened immediately. He angrily asked Li Guoyi and Zhang Bing: "What are you two doing? Why did you vote for someone you don't even know?"

Li Guoyi patted his chest and said shamelessly: "Wei Xiaozhu is very beautiful, I admit that, but we all know each other, you want to take advantage of her.

You've already set your sights on her, so I can't help but support her."

Hu Ping was so angry that he vomited blood! He grabbed Li Guoyi's neck with both hands and tried to fight him to death.

After making a big fuss, seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Bing said honestly:
"I have seen Mai Sui up close three times. Although I didn't know her name at first, she is indeed very charming and left a deep impression on me."

The victorious Zhou Zhangping praised her unconditionally: "As expected of a married man, Lao Zhang has experience. Mai Sui may not be as pretty as Wei Xiaozhu, but she has a very charming temperament."

Zhang Bing said, "It all depends on one's preference. Wei Xiaozhu is actually not bad, but your intentions are too obvious, Lao Hu. Otherwise, the voting situation might be different."

Hu Ping's heart was bleeding: "How about voting again?"

"roll!"

"Think beautifully!"

Everyone denied it outright.

Tang Dailing, who lost with Hu Ping, looked ashen and stuttered to ask Li Heng: "Old Li, when will you be punished?"

Li Heng sought the winner's opinion, and it turned out that each of them was more ruthless than the other, so the time was set for tomorrow at noon, at the gate of the No. 12 girls' dormitory building.

Hu Ping was about to cry: "Brothers, please be merciful and change the venue. All the girls in our School of Management are in this building."

Zhou Zhangming gloated, "What's the point of not going to Building 12? How can that be called a punishment? It's called a reward."

Li Guang clapped his hands: "That's right!"

Li Guoyi added insult to injury: "How about moving to Building 9? Wei Xiaozhu lives in this building."

Hu Ping was even more depressed. "That's still Building 12."

A night passed and it was soon noon the next day.

At exactly 12 o'clock, Hu Ping and Tang Dailing each held a large bowl of fat meat and stood at the gate of the No. 12 girls' dormitory building on time.

Hu Ping stands on the left side of the gate, Tang Dailing stands on the right side, with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, facing each other, as mighty and domineering as two door gods.

Every time they saw a girl passing by, they would take a bite of the fat meat, pick up the bitten fat meat with chopsticks and say to the girl: "Do you want to eat it? Have a bite, it's greasy and delicious!"

The two of them spoke in unison, with complete slogans, and their voices had to be so loud that any girls passing by could hear them. This was a hard and fast rule in the bet.

There were four girls in the first wave. They were startled by the two men's sudden words, "Do you want to eat it? Have a bite. It's greasy and delicious!"

The four girls first looked at Hu Ping and Tang Dailing as if they were fools, and then they covered their mouths and bent over to laugh. The four girls laughed together and were laughing like crazy!
Li Heng and the other five people who were supervising not far away also laughed, especially when they saw the constipated expressions of Hu Ping and Tang Dailing, they felt even more happy.

Before one wave ended, another wave came. Hu Ping and Tang Dailing shouted slogans again very professionally:
"Want to eat it? Have a bite, it's greasy and delicious!"

Not surprisingly, the second wave of girls also laughed their ass off.

Then came the third, fourth, and fifth waves.
It's dinner time now, and more and more girls are coming, like the tide of Qiantang River, one wave after another.
They say good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Soon, a slogan went viral in the No. 12 girls' dormitory: Want to eat? Take a bite, it's greasy and delicious!

result!

The result was nothing. Within a few minutes, all the girls in the building knew that there were two "crazy" boys at the door, attracting many girls to come out and watch.

Facing dozens of pairs of eyes watching the excitement at the gate, Hu Ping and Tang Dailing were shaking! They were shaking all over!
Damn it, I really want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it!
A girl asked curiously: "What did you do to anger God and people?"

Another girl asked: "Who came up with this slogan? It's catchy and interesting."

Hu Ping and Tang Dailing cursed Li Heng many times in their hearts and really wanted to die.

However, the two of them had a strong sense of contract. If they lost, they lost. They didn't cheat! They followed the rules and each ate a pound and a half of fat meat.
