1987 My Era

Chapter 291, Hot Sale, Xiao Wang's Bet (Subscribe!)

"hurry up!"

As soon as he finished washing up, Li Heng was driven out of Lushan Village by Ye Ning like a flock of sheep and ran towards the nearest Xinhua Bookstore.

He took the breakfast from Mai Sui and protested while eating: "Comrade Ye, can you not be so impatient? This time, the magazine "Harvest" is well prepared, and there must be books for sale."

Ye Ning didn't listen. After meeting Sun Manning at the school gate, the two girls joined forces and kept urging Li Heng, Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe to hurry up.

At this time, the advantages of rural man Ye Ning were revealed. Not only could he walk very fast, he also had the strength to pull the frail Zhou Shihe forward.

"Shihe, you are like a paper man, you fall down when the wind blows. You should eat more. From today on, I will supervise you in eating meat."

"Indeed, although you look pitiful and adorable, but without a healthy body, how can you serve a man well in the future? How can you give birth to a child for him?"

Sun Manning and Ye Ning sang the same tune, making Zhou Shihe laugh and cry, and he passively followed the two women.

Li Heng could see that Zhou Shihe had been taught the etiquette of a lady from a wealthy family since she was a child, and she had developed certain special qualities in the way she ate, did things, and even walked.

How to describe it? Even if the sky falls, I won’t feel impatient.

So compared with the impetuous Ye Ning, the gap is particularly obvious.

After rushing for a long time, the group of five finally arrived at Xinhua Bookstore.

Before Keren could stand firmly, Li Heng, Mai Sui, Zhou Shihe and Sun Manning were stunned on the spot.

The entrance of Xinhua Bookstore was crowded and noisy at this time, and many people were queuing up to buy books.

The queue was in an SS shape, even occupying half of the road, forcing commuters on bicycles to ride through a small gap. For a time, traffic was jammed and congested.

Wow! Let’s not talk about this scene anymore. In the future, when Huawei and Apple sell new phones, they will be like this at most.

The impatient uncle was swearing in Shanghai dialect. Due to his fast pronunciation, Li Heng could hardly understand what he was swearing, but he understood one sentence: Poke that motherfucker!
Ye Ning stomped his feet three times and angrily said to Li Heng, "Li Heng, it's you! Look, I told you to get up early, but you kept dragging your feet.

We are still sleeping in on such an important day. What should we do now? There are so many people. When will it be our turn? "

The girl's voice was so loud that many people nearby looked over at her.

Suddenly being stared at by dozens of eyes, Li Heng felt a little embarrassed and said in a low voice:

"Comrade Ye Ning, can you please give me some face when you are out in public? Think carefully about who is the author of "Cultural Journey"? You should pay attention to your cultural cultivation in public and don't embarrass December."

"Me!" Ye Ning was choked speechless.

Seeing that his friend was speechless for a moment, Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly. He had been dragged along the way and finally he could take a break.

Mai Sui laughed and stood on tiptoe to count. "There are at least 200 people. Most of them are college students from nearby. There are many more coming. Let's get in line."

After hearing this, the five people made some noise but still lined up obediently.

Sun Manning met an acquaintance in the crowd, her roommate, and immediately greeted him: "Lingli, why are you guys here?"

Lingli turned around and shouted, "We are here to buy books, Manning. I don't usually see you reading "Cultural Journey". Why are you here to join in the fun?"

Li Heng glared at him and thought to himself, you are so bold that you don't even support my book?

Sun Manning twisted her body and said, "Who said I don't read? I'll recite a passage for you."

As she spoke, the woman who called herself "old lady" actually recited a passage, choosing the part about the waterfall in the "Lushan" chapter, and recited it word for word.

Li Heng was stunned. He couldn't even recite it himself.

Ye Ning was unhappy with Li Heng's expression, "What's with that expression? As a student of Fudan University, is it strange to recite a passage of such a beautiful text? I can almost recite the entire "Cultural Journey", do you believe it?"

Li Heng turned his head, "So fierce?"

"That's not impressive. Many of us girls can carry it. If you don't believe me, ask Shihe and Suisui. They can probably do it too." Ye Ning pulled on the hems of Zhou Shihe and Mai Sui's clothes.

Seeing Li Heng looking over, Zhou Shihe smiled sweetly, remained reserved for two seconds, and nodded gently: "Not all of it, about three quarters of it."

Li Heng asked Mai Sui, "What about you?"

Facing his expectant eyes, Mai Sui smiled tenderly, "Yeah, it's easy to recite."

Ye Ning agreed: "I also think it is easy to memorize. It is much smoother than memorizing the English dictionary during the summer vacation."

Li Heng rubbed his hands and sighed: "You guys are really amazing. Am I the only one who can't carry it?"

Sun Manning chatted with her roommate for a while, then came back and whispered, "I'll tell you a secret, why so many of us girls can recite it."

Li Heng was curious: "What secret?"

Sun Manning muttered: "Two girls in our dormitory have pen pals. They usually use "Cultural Journey" as a medium of communication in their letters. They like to quote a passage from it to show the connotation of us Fudan girls."

Pen pals are very popular in this era, and you can even see small advertisements in some small newspapers from time to time looking for like-minded pen pals.

Li Heng asked: "Do you have pen pals?"

Zhou Shihe shook his head.

Mai Sui looked into his eyes and shook her head.

Li Heng expected that the two girls didn't have pen pals. Because they couldn't even read love letters, and they were even tired of reading them. How could they write letters to strangers?

Most of the pen pals are people with a relatively poor and empty spiritual world. They are "isolated" in the real world, so they place more hope on letters.

This is similar to QQ dating in later generations.

If you have enough friends in real life and your life is wonderful, who would bother to make pen pals?
Ye Ning said: "I once made a friend over the summer vacation out of curiosity, but after only three letters, I gave up. The friend even proposed to go to Shanxi to find me, which scared me half to death.

I was thinking, if he comes to me, my reputation will be ruined, how can I get married in the future?"

Several people laughed out loud.

Li Heng asked: "Isn't it annoying you later?"

"No, that person was from Jilin. After I lost contact with him, I lost interest." Ye Ning felt sad when he thought of the past.

Sun Manning curled her lips and said, "Only fools would make pen pals. If I want to fall in love, it won't take a minute, right?"

Ye Ning reacted: "Who are you calling a fool?"

Sun Manning said: "I called you a fool, and you must take it for granted?"

Seeing the two women fighting, Li Heng, Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe were speechless, but they were also used to it, as such scenes happened at least three times a day.

More and more people came over, and Li Heng also met some familiar faces.

For example, the two dormitory rooms 325 and 107 came together.

For example, the former vice president of the Student Union and current chairman of the Student Union, Zhao Menglong, is also here.

Liu Yue, Zhou Min and Chen Guifen were also seen in the crowd.

Li Heng is about 180cm tall when wearing shoes, and he is very eye-catching in the crowd.

The guys in dormitory 325 saw him at a glance and waved to him excitedly from a distance.

Li Guoyi and Li Guang even wanted to come over and pull him over there, but when they were halfway there, they saw Zhou Shihe and Mai Sui and suddenly wilted and shrank back in disappointment.

Li Heng said to the four girls, "I'll go over there for a while and come back later."

The four girls all knew about his social dorm. In fact, many boys from dormitory 213 also came to him, wanting to socialize and invite him to the dance, but it didn't work out because Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe voted them down.

Seeing her two best friends like this, Ye Ning naturally voted against it. With three people in the same dormitory unwilling to do so, the social gathering was naturally shelved.

Of course, many boys' dormitories are just trying it out because they know the chances are slim. This dormitory has two girls, a big one and a small one, and is known as the No. 1 female dormitory in Fudan University. How could it be that easy?
Especially, when they later saw Mai Sui often taking walks with Li Heng, many boys in the dormitory vaguely understood why they failed!
There is a little fun thing to say. In the past, Dormitory 107 was known as the best dormitory in Fudan for a period of time because of the presence of a big beauty like Wei Xiaozhu, the assistance of two little beauties Dai Qing and Le Yao, and the shaking of Liu Yanling's 36D.

But when it was later revealed that Zhou Shihe and Mai Sui were in the same dormitory, 107 fell from grace and fell from the altar.

But even so, Dormitory 107 is still well-known and very prestigious in Fudan University and even in the surrounding university towns.

After all, Wei Xiaozhu's first love face alone can sweep the field! Besides, the quality of the other girls is not bad.

For this reason, many boys came here just to see with their own eyes what the legendary pure girl looks like.

Why do some people always say that they have a strong urge to fall in love with Wei Xiaozhu as soon as they meet her?
Li Heng walked over, greeted the two dormitories one by one, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Le Yao said: "Qingqing, Mengmeng and Xiaoye insisted on buying "Cultural Journey", so we followed them."

Qingqing refers to Dai Qing, Xiaoye refers to Sun Xiaoye, and Mengmeng is Zhao Meng.

Sun Xiaoye's name is like his personality, he is very wild, he said to Li Heng in a sinister tone:

"Li Heng, no wonder you often miss our two dormitories' social activities. It turns out you look down on us. We have Big Wang and Little Wang to accompany us."

Everyone in the two dormitories laughed together, as these words expressed what they were thinking.

Because Li Heng had received god-like treatment for the fight at the dance party, and because he was going to be a big star on the Spring Festival Gala, the people in his two dormitories were very tolerant of him. They would not blame him even if he occasionally did not have time to participate in group activities.

But this world is so big and everyone is so different, there are exceptions to everything.

Look, Sun Xiaoye is an exception. She dares to say what others dare not say, and dares to do what others dare not do.

Some time ago, she had a fight with a boy majoring in computer science. It was said that she chased the boy and beat him for more than 150 meters.

The reason was that the boy always wrote her love letters and kept calling her downstairs of the dormitory. She was so annoyed that no matter how she refused, it was useless, so she picked up a broom and chased him across the street.

It was lunch time, and many people on the street saw this explosive scene. Word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and in a very short time it became the headline news of Fudan University.

Li Heng bowed and said, "Comrade Sun, I dare not say that. Look at me now. As soon as I saw you, I came over without stopping. I can be said to be extremely enthusiastic."

Everyone was a highly intelligent group, so seeing him like this, Sun Xiaoye naturally wouldn't hold on to him and asked curiously, "Are you also a December reader like me?" Li Heng followed suit, "Of course, I can even recite "Cultural Journey"."

"Me too." Sun Xiaoye felt that the distance between them was shortened.

Liu Yue, who was not far away, heard his words and looked at him with contempt. It was obviously you who wrote it, and you are still pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

A prank suddenly came to her mind. If she revealed his identity on the spot, would a bunch of people surround him?
What will the scenario be like?
Then she thought that few people would believe her and would think she was crazy.

Liu Yue looked at Li Heng and had to admit that the bastard who made her aunt miss him so much was indeed well-looking and quite attractive.

Unfortunately, he doesn't sleep with his aunt.

Otherwise, I would like to call him uncle.

After chatting with his roommates in dormitory 325, Li Heng asked Zhang Bing with concern: "Mr. Zhang, how is the situation at home? Has your sister-in-law gone to the county hospital?"

Zhang Bing said happily: "I went there, the situation has stabilized, and the final exam is coming soon. I can't wait to fly back home now."

Tang Dailing suggested: "Brother Bing, it's cold during the winter vacation, and many people will come back for the New Year. It's best to sell roasted sweet potatoes."

Zhang Bing touched his head and said, "That's right, but the three of them are at home, so I have to go back."

Seeing that Hu Ping had been secretly watching the girls around him, Li Heng teased: "Old Hu, don't rob secretly, be careful not to be discovered by Wei Xiaozhu."

Hu Ping gave him a cigarette, lit one for himself, and whispered, "To be honest with you guys, Lao Li, Lao Tang, and Lao Zhou all have partners.

Brother Heng, you are even more awesome, having a girlfriend who is as awesome as a queen.

Bingge even has a child, and Li Guang and Bai Wanying are inseparable every day.

I am the only bachelor, and I am so jealous of you. Now, when I see a girl who is a little bit pretty passing by me, I will take a few more glances at her. "

Zhang Bing asked, "Old Hu, you and Wei Xiaozhu have made no progress at all?"

Li Guoyi's girlfriend is Le Yao, who knows more inside information. She shook her head and said, "I, Li, can testify to this. Although Lao Hu is a handsome guy, his life is really hard.

I have such a beautiful woman in my arms, but I can only look at her but not eat or touch her. Not to mention holding hands, I’m not even given a chance to date her alone.

It's so miserable! My life is worse than that of a dog, which can occasionally bump its buttocks on the roadside and have a good time.

If it were me, Lao Li, huh! I would have given up long ago and taken those girls who wrote love letters to Lao Hu to check into a hotel. Whoever wants to serve this beautiful lady can do so!"

The young men were all amused by this idiot and looked at Hu Ping with sympathy.

"Go! Go to hell! Old Li, you are just a big shot. You can only satisfy yourself with your mouth. Usually in front of Le Yao, you are more obedient than a pug."

Hu Ping was indignant, and then his expression withered: "Hey, I really envy you guys. I still don't know what it's like to date a girl?"

Li Guang was unhappy: "Old Hu, you are talking without any pain in your waist, aren't you better than me?
You get at least a few love letters every week, and you have little sisters who use words to warm your doghouse, but I am a complete bachelor, okay. "

Old Hu asked: "Aren't you and Bai Wanying on good terms?"

"Damn it! Your last name is Hu, so you only know how to talk nonsense. Do you think Bai Wanying's body is suitable for love? We have a pure revolutionary friendship, okay? Don't taint our souls with your dirty thoughts." Li Guang spitted all over Hu Ping's face.

Hu Ping, who knew he was in the wrong, didn't care and wiped his face with his sleeve, "Bai Wanying is a good girl, it's really God who is blind.

By the way, Li Guang, don’t you have more than 2 cows at home? Sell some to her for medical treatment, and then bring her home to warm your feet.”

Li Guang glared: "The cow is not mine, it belongs to my father. Before he dies, I can't make the decision."

Look at what he said, what a filial piety! Everyone burst into laughter.

The only two old bachelors in dormitory 325 quarreled with each other for a while, and then turned their attention to Zhou Zhangming.

Li Guoyi's eyes flickered back and forth at Liu Yanling who was not far away, and asked with a sly look, "Old Zhou, did you get it?"

Zhou Zhangming pretended to be in deep thought, but his mouth was actually grinning, "We've held hands several times, hehe."

"Fuck, Lao Zhou you are a beast. I hate that you have Liu Yanling who has such a great figure. You live a more comfortable life than a god." Li Guang jumped up and down and cursed like a joke.

They were chatting animatedly when they saw the girls from dormitory 107 coming over. The guys looked at each other and immediately changed their tone, pretending to be polite and chatting about "Cultural Journey".

For example, how Taiwanese writers Li Ao and Qiong Yao praised the writer December.

For example, follow the trend and predict what the sales volume of "Cultural Journey" will be before the New Year?

Li Guoyi gestured with his fingers and said, “I don’t really read the book Cultural Journey because it’s a prose and I don’t like it.

But when I saw Li Ao praising it so much, my patriotism suddenly exploded. I felt that December was so awesome and great that even people on the other side of the strait were conquered!

I read it right away, it was really well written, even an uneducated person like me felt like I could show off after reading it!"

Li Guoyi always speaks in a non-serious manner, but in a funny way. When he is around, the atmosphere is always lively and never dull.

Sun Xiaoye asked: "How many copies do you think you can sell?"

Tang Dailing, who is only 168cm tall, stood on tiptoe and looked around. "There are so many people queuing up to buy books in Xinhua Bookstore. I think 100 million is not a problem."

"One million? Tang Dailing, are you here to make people laugh? Didn't you read the interview with editor-in-chief Liao of "Harvest" magazine? He said that within half a month after the completion of "Cultural Journey", the magazine received more than 100 letters from readers. This event is unprecedented!" The person who said this was Zhao Meng.

"I also think that one million is a little too little. The sales of the December issue of Harvest magazine has exceeded 100 million copies so far, setting a new record in the literary world." When Li Heng was present, Dai Qing, who usually didn't talk much, couldn't help but express his opinion.

Zhou Zhangming exclaimed: "Awesome! This December is really awesome!"

"That's right, he is a legendary writer in the literary world," said Liu Yanling.

"Li Heng, why don't you speak? Didn't you say you could recite "Cultural Journey"? " Wei Xiaozhu asked with a smile when she saw that Li Heng was listening but not talking much.

How can I speak?

You are all praising me, praising me as much as you can! I am loved by everyone! I am almost floating on the surface, but I still have to endure it. How hard it is!
Li Heng showed his neat and clean teeth and smiled brightly: "No, I think you guys are having a good chat. I enjoy listening to you guys chat more than I enjoy myself."

Wei Xiaozhu asked: "How much do you think it can sell for?"

Li Heng thought for a moment and gave a number: "Two million copies, maybe. I think the response in the newspapers is pretty good, and the readers' reputation is also good. Maybe it can create another miracle."

This is what he thinks.

It is also his expectation.

"Your estimate is similar to that of our girls' dormitory." Wei Xiaozhu said.

Li Heng was surprised: "You also made an estimate, what is the estimate?"

Wei Xiaozhu smiled and said, "We were just having fun. We split into two sides. Le Yao and I bet 150 million, and the six of them bet 180 million.

Whoever's sales figures are closest to those before the New Year will win. The loser will have a treat."

Li Heng blinked and said, "Then I will stand firmly on their side. 150 million copies, who are you and Dai Qing looking down on?"

Wei Xiaozhu laughed and raised her head slightly to look at his profile: "From your tone, someone who doesn't know would think that you wrote this book. Are you so optimistic about it? 150 million copies is not a small number. There is no such record in the literary world today."

Li Heng said: "Records are meant to be broken. I think 150 is still a little too little."

Hearing the two people having a disagreement, the people from the two dormitories immediately started to make a fuss and asked them to make a bet, and the loser would go to the grass to sing and dance.

The chubby Wei Sisi didn't mind the trouble. She took Wei Xiaozhu's arm and said, "Xiaozhu, let's bet! Singing and dancing are your strengths anyway. If you win, you will have a great time watching Li Heng's dancing."

"Xiaozhu, I support you! Don't be afraid, I will dance with you if you lose." Liu Yanling also joined in.

Soon, all the girls in Dormitory 107 joined the camp and supported Wei Xiaozhu in taking down Li Heng.

Li Heng looked back at 325 and said, "Brothers, have you guys said anything?"

The young men looked at each other, and then stood behind Li Heng in a manly manner.

Li Guoyi said: "I can lose the bet, but I can't lose my manliness!"

"Old Li is right! You can die, but you want to die standing!" Zhou Zhangming agreed.

"That's right!" Tang Dailing ignored Wei Sisi's warning look and decisively stood on the side of his brothers.

Wei Sisi put her hands on her hips and said harshly, "You are such a good Tang Dailing, are the vows you made under the moonlight and flowers all fake? As a punishment, you are not allowed to eat with me for a week."

Tang Dailing straightened his back and said, "I will eat with my brothers."

"Hahaha!"

The roommates in dormitory 325 laughed so hard that they all patted Tang Dailing on the back, praising him for standing straight and having backbone! Not bad, not bad.

Li Guang said happily: "Little Tangzi has made great progress and is a role model for us!"

Well, what was originally a joking disagreement between Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu immediately turned into a confrontation between the two dormitories. Now they have no choice but to gamble.

The two dormitories got together and chatted for more than half an hour. When the team was about to move to the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore, Li Heng greeted them and then returned to the team of Mai Sui, Zhou Shihe, Sun Manning and Ye Ning.

"Oh! You are willing to come back. Why don't you chat with the beautiful Wei for a while?" Sun Manning ridiculed him.

Li Heng rolled his eyes. "You only saw me chatting with Wei Xiaozhu, right? You didn't see me chatting with other people?"

Then he said, "Besides, the people who should be jealous haven't eaten yet, so why are you jealous?"

"You are a good guy, Li Heng. You act lawless when Xiao Han is not around. I will tell Xiao Han next time." Sun Manning snorted and made a fierce gesture.
