1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 177 Agreement with Director Fang on the Paper

"crunch~"

"Whoa whoa whoa~"

Suddenly, gusts of wind blew and the weeds on the roof were flattened.

The old wooden door on the rooftop was so unlubricated that it creaked in the wind, making a teeth-aching sound.

The red and white plastic stripes swayed up and down in the wind like water plants in a river.

Cheng Kaiyan withdrew his gaze from the distant woods, turned back into the room and closed the door. However, light and cold air seeped through the crack in the door, wrapping the iron chain around the bolt again and again, and then he turned and left.

But when leaving and coming, the mood is as different as heaven and earth.

Even he himself didn't know what he was thinking, but at this moment he just felt that his mind was clear and his heart was open, as if he had untied the shackles that had been entangled for a long time.

"Smart woman, but you are wrong about one thing."

The deep voice echoed in the rooftop corridor, but no one answered.

……

Returning to the library reading area, Cheng Kaiyan packed up his things and prepared to leave. When he looked up, he saw a round-faced girl not far away staring at him. It was Ji Qinglan, whom he had not seen for a long time.

He held the book tighter in his arms, tilted his head slightly to smile at the two of them, then turned and left without a trace of a cloud.

"Why are you smiling so beautifully? How can I scold you?"

Ji Qinglan pouted and muttered softly.

"Does he like you?"

Zhao Ruixue blinked and said suddenly.

"Bah! I don't want him to like it, don't joke around like that!"

The round-faced girl blushed and pounded her shoulder in embarrassment.

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder what these two people had just talked about.

The atmosphere seems to be much calmer than before. At least people are opening up to each other, right?

It would be great if we could make peace!
……

On the other side, Cheng Kaiyan had returned to the office, while Jiang Ting went to class alone.

The last class on Friday afternoon is "Foreign Literature Appreciation Class", but Cheng Kaiyan rarely goes there recently.

Now Cheng Kaiyan had no plan to go. She patiently read the homework book on the desk, correcting it as she read. When she felt tired, she would go for a walk outside.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Cheng Kaiyan, Professor Jiang."

There was a knock on the office door. It was Lin Xiaohong's voice.

"Come in, Professor Jiang is not here."

Cheng Kaiyan replied.

Soon, a woman with two big pigtails came in and shouted happily, "Let's go to the logistics department to collect our wages later. Our wages have increased this month!"

Following the leadership meeting in March 1980, the major events of this year gradually unfolded. One of the major events that everyone was concerned about was:

Increase wages.

According to official sources, the average annual monetary wage of workers in China was 1980 yuan in 762, up 14.1% from the previous year. After deducting the price increase factor, the actual wage increased by 6.1%.

Just like Liu Xiaoli was a first-level arts assistant before, earning more than 37 yuan, and now her salary is 65 yuan, which is at the national average level, but her level still remains at the first-level arts assistant.

In fact, the salary of dancers in the first few levels is relatively low at 20 or 30 yuan, and it will become higher later. The range in between is much higher than that of ordinary jobs. Dancers can easily earn hundreds of yuan. This is the gap between dancers, but there are not many dancers in the country.

"How much has it increased? Ten dollars."

Lin Xiaohong made a cross with her fingers and had a smile on her face.

"oh oh."

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head, not very satisfied.

Isn’t this still five dollars lower than Sister Xiaoli’s?
"Why are you still not satisfied? I tell you that ten dollars is not a small amount. You have seen a lot of big money, so you don't care about small money. This won't do!

Only a stable job and a steady salary can bring happiness. "

Lin Xiaohong knew that he looked down on her, so she sighed and taught her a lesson in a serious tone.

"You speak so fluently, you are going to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

Hey!
By the way, aren’t you taking the college entrance examination?

The college entrance examination is coming in July, right? How are you preparing for it?"

Cheng Kaiyan suddenly remembered.

"Uh... never mind, I'm going to go back and do my math problems."

Why are you bringing this up for no reason? It makes me so nervous that my scalp tingles.

Lin Xiaohong glared at him resentfully, and when she thought about the upcoming college entrance examination, she left in a hurry.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the bell rang and music sounded on campus.

Jiang Ting walked into the office in a hurry with a tired look on her face. It was not until she sat on the soft cushion and leaned against the hard back of the chair to relieve her fatigue that she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Class is finally over, it’s finally Friday.

"came back?"

Cheng Kaiyan said casually.

As expected, he received an impatient roll of the eyes from the woman. The meaning in her eyes was very clear. Can't you see it?
"I have three things to tell you."

"Say!"

"One, I'll go to the logistics department later to collect my salary. It's increased."

"Well, continue."

Jiang Ting nodded indifferently. The salary was very attractive to her.

"Second, Sister Xiaoli said she wants to apply for the postgraduate dance degree at Beijing Dance Academy."

"Yes, she wrote to me."

"Third, I went to the library this afternoon. Following the solution you mentioned at noon, I flipped through some materials and finally came up with some ideas.

That is to sort out the order in chronological order, then explain it in combination with the development of children's literature in recent years, and then integrate it into the paper. "

Cheng Kaiyan thought about it and told her the simple idea directly.

Jiang Ting nodded, and after a little thought, she understood Cheng Kaiyan's idea.

This is equivalent to sorting out part of the literary development history of children's literature while explaining the thesis.

Of course this is not perfect and very simple, but it is enough.

She raised her eyebrows, sat up straight, looked at Cheng Kaiyan, and said in a deep voice:
“That’s a good idea. I originally just wanted you to distinguish the works by time.

But I didn't expect that you would go in the direction of sorting out the history of children's literature.

However, the workload is quite heavy.”

Literary history is about understanding the cultural traditions and literary development of a country or region. It records the changes in literature in different eras and reflects the changes in society, politics, economy and culture. It is an important carrier of cultural inheritance.

The history of children's literature is a new direction of literary history research that has emerged internationally in the past two decades.

Currently, internationally renowned experts and scholars in children's literature research are conducting research on it, both in their own country and around the world.

For example, Professor Dr. Klaus Doderer of Goethe University in the Federal Republic of Germany is the director of the Institute of Children's Literature at Goethe University. In 1972, he founded the International Society for Children's Literature (IRSCL), the first international research organization related to children's literature research, and served as its first president. He compiled the "Dictionary of Children's Literature".

Professor Toriyama Koshi of Waseda University in Japan won the 1976th Japan Children's Literature Association Award in 1 for his "Chronology of the History of Japanese Children's Literature 2, 16". He later compiled works on the history of children's literature such as "History of Japanese Picture Books".

But in the country, research on the history of children's literature is almost zero.

The first research work on the history of children's literature did not appear until 1987, when Professor Jiang Feng of Zhejiang Normal University officially compiled "History of Modern Chinese Children's Literature", and won the first China Children's Literature Research Award the following year.

"This guy stumbled upon this by accident, didn't he intend to lean towards the history of children's literature, but it already has that intention in it."

Jiang Ting looked at Cheng Kaiyan with her dark phoenix eyes somewhat absentmindedly.

She couldn't help but think back to what her impression of Cheng Kaiyan was like at the beginning. Probably wearing this patched military coat, cotton trousers and big-toed cotton shoes, looking rustic and a little sickly. Apart from her good looks, she had almost no advantages.

How did this child change from that to what he is now step by step?
Jiang Ting frowned, feeling a little unbelievable.

How can the combined effects of time, environment, pressure and knowledge change a person so much?

It’s only half a year!
It’s hard to imagine what he will become in the future.

"Very good. This is the most cutting-edge research direction in the world. You should perfect this paper. If nothing goes wrong, you will be a pioneer in children's literature research in China after it is published."

Jiang Ting took a deep breath and praised.

Research pioneer!
Even she was a little jealous.

"Yes, I understand, aunt."

Seeing that she seemed a little shocked, Cheng Kaiyan laughed, walked behind her and started moving.

What followed was a clear and cold hum coming from the woman's snowy neck, like the collision of snow water and icicles thousands of miles below the Arctic Ocean.

"I'm so tired. I'll massage my neck. I could have taken a break on Saturday and Sunday..."

Jiang Ting closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the massage from her cheap nephew, while complaining.

"Got it. Thank you for your help. I will definitely not let you help in vain."

He lowered his head and said nice things in the woman's ear.

"Humph! Good to know. Let's see if you dare to talk back to your elders again in the future!"

Jiang Ting snorted coldly and said with great satisfaction.

"Mmmmmmm..."

Cheng Kaiyan thought to herself that she must never offend this petty person again.

This woman is so stingy. She still remembers it!
How many times have you offended her?

Forget it, just pretend it never happened.

……

The massage was not erotic, but rather warm.

After pressing for ten minutes, the button stopped. The two packed up their things and left the office, going to the school logistics department to collect their pay slips, food coupons, and meat coupons.

Because they stayed a little longer, they arrived at the logistics department later.

The corridor on the first floor with a green sign of the Logistics Department was already crowded with them, all employees who came to collect their wages.

Today is the time of the month when teachers look forward to improved food.

Therefore, everyone had an expectant smile on their face, and gathered in groups of three or five to chat while queuing.

"Hey! Professor Xiao Jiang and Comrade Xiao Cheng, you are finally here. You are so busy!"

Director Fang and several professors were gathered together chatting. When they saw Jiang Ting and Cheng Kaiyan coming late, they waved to signal them to come over.

"Professor Xiao Jiang and Comrade Xiao Cheng are the top talents that our Chinese Department has given priority to. Talents need to be honed more, otherwise how can they succeed?"

After a few pleasantries, Director Fang talked about Jiang Ting's paper.

"Last week I went to Peking University for a meeting and met Deputy Director Yan of the Chinese Department. I asked him about your paper. Don't worry. Deputy Director Yan said that it has passed the final review and may be published next week."

Director Fang put out his cigarette and said with a smile.

"That's good. I'm not worried about that."

Jiang Ting nodded, her expression calm and composed.

This look was even more admirable in the eyes of the professors.

"Professor Xiao Jiang is, after all, a senior talent who has seen the world. You can see that he is not easily surprised by praise or criticism and has great composure," Professor Lu Zongta praised.

"Of course, Director Fang has a keen eye for talent."

A female professor said with a smile.

Cheng Kaiyan stood quietly aside, like a little brother carrying a bag, watching everyone praising Jiang Ting like the moon surrounded by stars.

But he was also happy for his aunt.

In this undergraduate community, being an extraordinary talent is a top talent. Jiang Ting is a top talent who studied in East Germany and graduated from the world's top university, Humboldt University of Berlin. She is popular wherever she goes.

What's more, it's producing results now.

But this female professor, you really take every opportunity to flatter Director Fang!

Soon it was their turn.

"Cheng Kaiyan, Jiang Ting...sign, this is for both of you."

The staff handed him two forms and asked him to sign.

In the end, Cheng Kaiyan received a salary of 60 yuan, as well as 27 kilograms of fine grain coupons, which were valid in BJ City, and some meat coupons.

Jiang Ting's salary was also collected by her, 135 yuan, 27 kilograms, plus a small dozen other bills.

We are still in a period when the planned economy has not yet collapsed, and food is supplied in fixed quantities according to different groups of people.

The monthly ration for cadres, teachers and other staff in government agencies and other public institutions who do not engage in physical labor is 27 grains of fine grain.

Working workers weigh 36 kilograms, those doing heavy manual labor weigh about 45 kilograms, children weigh 18 kilograms, and college and technical school students generally weigh around 27 kilograms.

Finally, I received two bottles of oil, about five kilograms, which was considered a school benefit.

After receiving his salary, he walked over to Jiang Ting and prepared to ask her to go home.

When Director Fang saw him, he suddenly remembered the joke Jiang Ting had told him some time ago, so he jokingly said, "Xiao Cheng, your professor Jiang said that you are writing a paper recently. How is it going?"

Cheng Kaiyan smiled and just said it was okay.

"Comrade Xiao Cheng is still writing a paper? You have to work and attend classes, and you still have time to write a paper. You are really a busy person.

But you still have a graduation thesis to write when you graduate at the end of the year. Even if you write it now, you can’t be exempted from it!”

When the female professor heard that Cheng Kaiyan, the most famous person in the college, was writing a paper, she immediately laughed and joked.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head.

The writer's class lasts for half a year, and you can graduate after writing your thesis.

“It’s good for young people to have ideas, but you can’t rely on Professor Jiang for all the help.

Professor Jiang has been busy with several duties recently. Don't tire her out. She is a top talent in our department. Otherwise, you will be held responsible!" Director Fang warned.

Although Cheng Kaiyan is already a very famous writer, in his eyes she is not as important as Jiang Ting.

He was also afraid that the child would be tactless and ask Professor Jiang for help, which would exhaust him.

"I can't stop loving her..."

Cheng Kaiyan said speechlessly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Hearing the word "pain", Jiang Ting raised her little foot and kicked him with her toes, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Director Fang, I didn't help Kaiyan write the paper, but this paper is not ordinary, don't be shocked when the time comes!"

Seeing Jiang Ting so confident, everyone immediately became interested.

"Really? I'd really like to see it for myself."

Director Fang glanced sideways and looked at Cheng Kaiyan with some surprise. He knew Jiang Ting's character. She was always aloof and proud, and she would never lie or brag. So what she said must be true.

After a moment's thought, Director Fang said calmly, "If Comrade Xiao Cheng writes well, I think we don't need to write this graduation thesis."

"If it's not well written, you have to help me persuade your Aunt Jiang to recruit some graduate students."

"Okay! I'll pick a few myself then! If she really doesn't like them, I'll do it myself!"

Cheng Kaiyan frowned. This damn old man actually had this in mind!

If we recruit a few graduate students, won’t the office be crowded with these boys and girls every day?

That's so annoying.
