I Had a Home In 1982 Chapter 181

   Chapter 181 180. Facing the sea, spring blossoms (I wish everyone a happy life)

  The summer when everything is lush and hot is really here.

   The torrential rain of the first two days seemed to have washed away the last coldness of the spring. The summer in the outer islands was quite hot, and the sun was piercing like a needle.

   But the outer islands are surrounded by the sea, so long as it is in the shade of trees, it will be fine.

  The sun and wind in summer make people hot and dry, but they nurture everything on the island. Now the outer islands seem to have blown over the drawing board and knocked over the color paint on them, giving the most gorgeous colors to the outer islands——

   The blue of the sky and the ocean becomes bluer, the green of the grass and leaves becomes greener, and the red and yellow flowers all over the mountains make the hillsides look bright and dazzling.

  Wang Yi took Qiuweishui to mix cold dishes in the morning. He gave Qiuweishui a taste, and Qiuweishui praised it and said it was delicious.

   So Wang Yi was going to wait for her to bring some for her grandpa on her return trip.

   Mixed cold dishes and they chatted in the store.

   Qiuweishui wanted to go out for a walk, but the sun was very strong today. Anyway, when he had time, he was going to lead Qiuweishui to watch the sunset.

   The fishing boat sang late. He felt that the sunset on the outer islands was better than the sunrise.

   It was almost noon and he had to get ready to eat.

   Wang Ugly Cat and several male students ran in and handed him a stick of dogtail grass.

   Grasshoppers are strung on the grass.

   In summer, there are many grasshoppers and they can fly.

  It may be that pesticides have not been widely used in the wild in this era, resulting in a lot of grasshoppers on the mountain. Even if every household's chickens are catching insects in the mountains and plains, the students can still send one or two hundred of them casually.

   This thing is pure natural and pollution-free, and because of the isolated island environment of Tianya Island, there are no parasites on the island, and the grasshoppers on the mountain are very clean no matter how big or small.

  Like cicadas, grasshoppers are high in protein. The smaller they are, the better they taste. Most of the members of the production team burn them on fire.

  Wang Yi chose to fry.

  Frying is more fragrant!

  There are sodas in the store, which just came in this Monday.

  This soft drink is a local soft drink produced in Wengzhou. It has no name, but it is called orange soft drink. It is produced by Wengzhou Food Factory No.1.

   Tangerine soda is more expensive, a bottle of 60 cents, return the bottle and find another 10 cents.

  So the children in the county will go to pick up bottles after school and on Sundays, picking up a bottle is a dime, which is a big income for the children.

   One dime is a big income, and sixty cents is naturally more expensive. The members are not willing to buy soft drinks for their children.

   There is also a soda called orange peel soda, which is only one word different from orange soda, but the price gap is huge, only 15 cents a pound.

   The price of 15 cents is still after the price increase. Before 1980, it was 8 cents a pound, which was locally called "Bayi soda".

  It was widely rumored at the time that orange soda was made from oranges purchased by food factories, and orange peel soda was soaked with the remaining orange peel for making orange soda, so it was cheap.

   In this era, cheap is popular.

   Bayi soda is the main force in the market. The children in the city picked up the bottle to exchange for Bayi soda.

   As a result, Bayi soda is selling well in the city, and the output is insufficient, and it is impossible to sell it on the outer islands, even if the supply and marketing cooperatives in the outer islands are not allowed to sell, let alone his sales department?

   So the expensive ones couldn't afford it, the cheap ones had no land to buy, and the children on the outer islands didn't have any drinks at all, so Wang Yi gave them a bottle of orange soda to make them happy.

Wang Ugly Cat is an honest child, and said: "Mr. Wang, you don't need to give us soda as a reward, these grasshoppers are for Aunt Xiaoqiu to eat, Aunt Xiaoqiu gives us shoes and food for us, we have nothing for her. , and caught the grasshopper."

   He said to Qiu Weishui again: "Auntie Xiaoqiu, when the golden cicadas come out in a few days, we will touch them for you. Pickle them in pickle water and fry them overnight. It's delicious!"

   Qiu Weishui smiled and said, "Okay."

  Wang Xinxin was also a good student and asked, "Will you put down the soda?"

  Wang Yi waved his hand: "No, take it away, this is what Aunt Xiaoqiu gave you to drink, and I will catch more Jin Chan pupae for her in the future."

  Golden cicada pupae are the larvae of cicadas, also known as the cicada monkey and the elder sister Liu monkey. This stuff is really delicious.

  The students cheered and ran out with soda bottles.

   Wang Yi shouted: "Don't break the bottle, the bottle will be sent back."

  The supply and marketing company said that the soda bottles will be taken back when replenishing each week. Wang Yi gave a deposit for these things.

  The students nodded, they were about to run out.

   Wang Ugly Cat said: "Don't go down, just drink it at school, go down and let Wang Kai and Wang Zhuangyuan see it, let's score them a drink!"

   A few elementary school students who had been his sons and daughters looked at each other, then nodded in unison: "You're right, Brother Er Mao, don't go down to drink, drink on top."

   Wang Ugly Cat said displeasedly: "Don't be called Er Mao, you have to respect me, I am now a disciplinary committee."

   "Okay, Ermao Disciplinary Committee." The elementary school students nodded in unison again.

   "No, let's be respectful, don't bring two!"

   "Bring a few!"

   "Don't bring a few!"

   "Okay, Cat Disciplinary Committee."

   "Forget it, let's call you Brother Ermao."

  Autumn Weishui made the flowers and branches tremble.

   She will always be in a much better mood on Tianya Island. There are many children on the island and people are simple and honest, unlike everyone in the county who is busy making money and promotions.

   Especially in the art troupe, her comrades in arms usually discuss which recruits have leaders in their families, which cadres are young and promising, and then go to find a good partner for themselves.

  Thinking of finding someone, Qiu Weishui looked at Wang Yi hotly.

  Wang Yi rushed to her and shook the grasshopper and said, "Hey, today's lunch is delicious again, let's go, let's cook together."

   Qiuweishui was speechless.

  Eat, eat, I have said that I have no particular preference for eating - wait, I like the sausage very much. The tofu I ate last night was also good. The skin was crispy and the inside was soft.

   There are a lot of fresh small seafood, Wang Yi made a few kinds of seafood.

  The mussels in May and June are getting fatter, maybe not so fat now, but the umami is full, even more than when they were fat, so now is a good time to try new things.

  Islanders eat mussels, that is, mussels, which are very simple. Put them in a pot and boil them with water.

  Wang Yi made garlic mussels. He boiled the mussels and let Qiuweishui peel the shells and pick the meat. After setting the plate, he cut the garlic and put it on the oil to make the garlic sauce. After pouring it on, the flavor was charming.

   There are also small yellow croakers in May. Nowadays, the production of small yellow croakers is getting less and less, but they are always caught. In view of the popularity of crispy fish, small yellow croakers or plum croakers caught on the island are sent to Dazao.

   Meitong fish is very similar to small yellow croaker, they are both totoaba, but the taste is still more delicious.

   And even in 22 years, there are still many wild fish in Meitongyu, and its price is naturally far less than that of small yellow croaker, so some people can actually eat and buy Meitongyu.

  As Yuan Hui said, the reason why wild yellow croaker is expensive is because it is scarce and has such an added value as a dinner party.

During the day, the little yellow croaker is not as beautiful as the plum child fish, and the color is yellow and white, while the plum child fish has pale gold and fine scales. This can be steamed. Add cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, shredded spring onion and **** to taste, and add a spoonful of steamed fish soy sauce and sugar. Adjust the seasoning and steam in the pot.

   The fish are neat and tidy, and sprinkled with some green onion, it is very beautiful, and they look very close to each other.

   Then there are many live shrimps. This is the easiest to make. It is simply boiled. The peeled bright red shrimp shell is filled with white and red shrimp, which is very Q bomb.

   Qiuwei water can be spicy, and Wang Yi fried a bacon with garlic sprouts and fried a grasshopper. With small seafood, this table dish is quite perfect.

Wang Xianggao, the old carpenter, brought a round wooden table before they were about to eat, and said, "Mr. Wang, this is the table for you according to the requirements of the party secretary. Today Comrade Qiu is here, and you will use a new table to eat. But this table is just a simple one. Polished, not yet officially on tung oil.”

  Wang Yi propped up the table with him and said with a smile, "You don't need to use tung oil, that's good, thank you, Uncle Gao, it's great to have a table under this locust tree, and it will be cool to eat in the future."

  Wang Xiang waved his hand high: "You can look at it, you two eat slowly, I'll go back first."

   Qiu Weishui said: "Uncle, you can stay and eat together. There is a lot of food today, where can we eat?"

   How could Wang Xianggao stay as a light bulb? He didn't speak this time, and waved his hand away.

  Wang Yi loaded up some fried grasshoppers and chased after him.

  He brought a solid wood table against the sun, and he couldn't let them come back empty-handed.

  The two sat down to eat.

   Qiu Weishui said: "You really cook too much, can we two eat so much? We can't waste it, it's a shame to waste!"

  Wang Yi said: "It can't be wasted, let's eat it first, and I'll let Wang Ugly Cat and the others come over to clean up the mess later, there's definitely not much left."

   Qiu Weishui said: "How can there be any reason to let students eat leftovers? Let them come, it's very interesting to eat with children, it's funny to hear them talk, very innocent and very interesting."

   Seeing her seriousness, Wang Yi went to shout.

   Wang Ugly Cat's father went out to sea at noon, so he had to eat cold meals by himself at noon, when he learned that he could go up the mountain and have a good meal, he came right away.

  Wang Yi said to him again: "Go get the pig's trotters..."

   "No, no, no, why do you want pig's trotters? There are enough vegetables." Qiu Weishui persuaded him.

   Wang Ugly Cat said: "Aunt Xiaoqiu, Pig Trotter is a person, four years younger than me."

   Qiu Weishui sat down awkwardly and distributed chopsticks silently.

   Pig's trotters came with a crab in his hand, and he used crab claws to pick up the meat while walking. It was estimated that this was his lunch.

   He was wearing an undershirt with several holes on his body. Because of his small size, the undershirt fell under his butt, and on his feet was a pair of small cloth shoes with missing fingers.

  Wang Yi seated them both and said, "Come on, Aunt Xiaoqiu invites you two to dinner, especially the pig's trotters. You haven't eaten the delicious food that Aunt Xiaoqiu bought for the students before, so have a good meal today."

  The pig's trotter showed a well-behaved smile at Qiu Weishui.

  The children on the island have to work on weekends, and their clothes are all tattered. Unless they are going to visit relatives, they will wear school uniforms, small white shoes, and pull back shoes, so Qiu Weishui did not think much, and greeted the two warmly for dinner.

  The main food is rice, and Wang Yi scooped a bowl for them.

  The two teenagers waved their chopsticks with their bowls in their hands, and attacked the bacon first!

   This is meat.

  The bacon and rice are a perfect match. The two of them ate the same in competition, and they choked one after another when they ate it too fast.

   Qiuwei Shui poured water for the two of them and said, "Don't eat so fast, it's bad for your stomach if you eat too fast."

  Speaking of being bad for the stomach, Wang Yi also prepared a stomach medicine for her, because she suffers from stomach acid, acid regurgitation and stomach pain, so what Wang Yi prepared was aluminum magnesium carbonate.

   This drug has few side effects, but has a strong ability to neutralize stomach acid.

   He tasted the dish he made. The steaming time of the shrimp was just right, and the meat was very firm. A bite was a blessing.

  The steamed fish is even more delicious, which can be felt from the soup. Wang Yi motioned to Qiuwei to scoop the soup for bibimbap. He thought it was better than the bacon.

   Qiu Weishui likes to eat garlic mussels. The already tender and juicy mussels have been seasoned with garlic sauce, adding the sweetness and spicyness of garlic, giving them a unique taste.

   After eating, Wang Yi called the pig's trotters and introduced him to Qiu Weishui: "This child is called Wang Dongzhu. He is a very smart child. He didn't come to school before, and I just called him back two days ago."

Qiu Weishui encouraged him and said: "Then you have to study hard, I see you are also very smart and smart. In the future, you will go to university and be determined to be a person with ideals, morality, culture and discipline. Contribute to the people, to the motherland, and to the cause of the liberation of all mankind!"

   Wang Yi was taken aback.

   This phrase is quite familiar.

   Pig Trotter nodded and said solemnly: "Aunt Xiaoqiu, I will definitely study hard and study for the rise of China!"

  Wang Yi said: "Wait, that's not what I meant when I introduced him, what I mean is, Comrade Qiu Weishui, you don't have his share of the Huili sneakers you gave last time!"

   Qiu Weishui suddenly realized and smiled: "I understand what you mean, I will come again next week, and I will prepare a pair of pull-back shoes for him."

   "No," she shook her head, "you now have a commune and brigade enterprise, and you go to the county to sell cold vegetables every day, then I'll go buy them tomorrow and let your commune members bring them back."

   Pig Trotter said quickly, "Thank you, Auntie Xiaoqiu. My mother passed away a few years ago. My father doesn't care about me. Teacher Wang and Auntie Xiaoqiu are the best for me."

  Wang Yi pointed at him.

  The little mouth is smeared with honey.

   Qiu Weishui has a sense of responsibility of the times.

After listening to the pig's trotter, looking at the pig's trotter's clothes, and thinking about how the pig's trotter was devoured just now, she said earnestly, "I will treat you better in the future, Wang Dongzhu, study hard, and I will make a pair with you. , I will help you with your homework and bring you food in the future."

   Pig Trotter completely trusts her, because he completely trusts Wang Yi, and although Wang Yi and Qiu Weishui are still comrades and friends on the surface, the island has already decided that the two are a couple.

   So he quickly said gratefully: "Thank you, Auntie Xiaoqiu, I, I really thank you so much!"

   "Then you still call me Aunt Xiaoqiu? Think for yourself, what should you call me?" Qiu Weishui said with a smile.

   Pig Trotter was stunned for a while, then glanced at Wang Yi and changed his words: "Master, I thank you and the teacher so much!"

   Qiu Weishui immediately blushed, and quickly waved his hand and said, "No, you should also call me teacher! Call me teacher Qiu, I will assist you in your studies in the future, and be considered your teacher!"

Hearing her words, Ugly Cat Wang was very anxious: "Master, I can't hide it from you. In fact, I'm also a child without a mother. His mother with pig's trotters ran away, and my mother died of a sudden illness. Now my father is the same as his father. Don't care about me!"

   Wang Yi laughed.

   Then he said to Qiu Weishui: "I can't hide it from you, I'm even worse than them, because I'm an orphan and my parents are gone!"

   Qiu Weishui sighed: "Then our meal is really fateful, then I don't have to hide it from you either. My parents also passed away."

   She opened her mouth to Wang Yi and wanted to say something.

   smiled bitterly and was suddenly depressed.

   vaguely thought of something bad.

  The atmosphere immediately froze.

   Pig Trotter hurried up to hold her hand and shook it and said, "Mr. Xiaoqiu, it doesn't matter, we will be relatives in the future, and we still have relatives."

  Wang Yi also held Qiuweishui's other hand and said, "Yes, in the future we will be your relatives on Tianya Island, and the doors of every household on the island will always be open to you."

   Qiu Weishui returned a reluctant smile.

  Wang Yi saw that her mental state was not very good at the beginning, so she decisively took her to see the little milk dog, and then instructed the two children to say, "You clean up the mess, the one who divides the dishes, and each one takes it home to eat at night."

  Two child laborers compete for work:

   "I'll take care of this."

   "I'm here, I'm here, I want to mix the oil under the plate with rice!"

  The little milk dog is very healing. Wang Yi led her to see the puppies, and then took the little cuttlefish to feed the little eagles and swans.

  The blazing sun is always an artifact to dispel the haze.

   can dispel the haze in the sky and dispel the haze in people's hearts.

   After playing with the puppy in the sun, the two laughed and talked again.

  The afternoon was not so hot, and the two went to the beach to watch the tide and chat.

   The tide ebbs and flows, and the clouds roll in the clouds.

   While chatting about Zhang Youxin's arrival, Wang Yi went to the dock with milk powder, rice noodles, nutrition packs and the like to post.

   Zhang Youxin handed him an envelope: "Mr. Wang, here is a letter from you. It's a letter from the Qianjiang Evening News, the official newspaper of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee."

  Wang Yi recalled that this was one of several letters he mailed last weekend, which contained poems he wrote.

  The envelope is thick.

   He opened the envelope and found a newspaper, a few pieces of letter paper, and a remittance slip.

   A few pieces of letter paper were written densely and eloquently, and they were very politely called "Mr. Haier", and the signature was Tianxing, the literary and art editorial department of the "Qianjiang Evening News" newspaper group.

   The remittance slip was opened, and it said 'Chinese People's Postal Remittance Notice', the payee was naturally his name, the remitter was Tianxing, and the remittance unit was the "Qianjiang Evening News" newspaper group.

   Look at the money above, it turned out to be 16 yuan and 7 yuan!

   Zhang Youxin and Qiu Weishui were both by his side. Seeing that he took out the remittance slip, he asked curiously, "Why did the Qianjiang Evening News group send you money?"

   If there was only Zhang Youxin, Wang Yi would have dealt with it vaguely.

   But Qiuweishui is also beside him, it is not good to fool Qiuweishui. This girl is pure enthusiasm but she is sensitive. If she finds out that something has fooled her in the future, she will inevitably be sad.

   So Wang Yi had to say frankly: "Because I wrote a poem for the newspaper, it should have been hired."

"A poem? Give you 16 yuan and 70 cents?" Zhang Youxin was taken aback, "This is absolutely impossible. When I was in the county post and telecommunications bureau, our director also wrote a poem and published it, and his manuscript fee was 1 yuan and 60 cents. Not even a tenth of yours."

   "I remember this clearly. Our leaders sighed at the time, saying that writing poetry is worse than killing pigs, and writing a poem can earn a pound of pork!"

  Wang Yi said: "I don't know. Anyway, I just wrote a poem. I guess it may be that I introduced the situation of our outer islands. The comrades in the newspaper office took pity on our backwardness and gave me a little extra fee?"

Zhang Youxin shook his head: "No, your manuscript fee is too high, how many words does your poem have? They set the price according to the number of words and the grade of the poem. The top level is to give two cents for writing a word. Teacher Ai Qing That's it."

  Wang Yi was stunned: "Why are you asking so clearly? I don't know how many words I wrote in this poem."

Zhang Youxin said: "I'm curious, you actually earned 16 yuan and 70 cents for writing poems, which is really incredible. Come on, let me read the newspaper, there must be your poems in the newspaper, so I put this The newspaper will be mailed to you with the remittance slip."

  He took the newspaper away, Wang Yi could not stop him, so he could only be speechless.

   In fact, the manuscript fee of 16 yuan and 7 yuan is not high.

  Because Wang Yi made a big move in order to attract the attention of the newspaper office - he wrote a song "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" under the pseudonym Haier!

   This is an unavoidable piece of modern lyric poetry, and Wang Yi is confident that it will be published by the newspaper.

The same is true. It took less than a week for the poem to be mailed, and people had already replied to him. Considering the efficiency of the post and telecommunications bureau, if the back-and-forth time was excluded, maybe the poem had just been sent to the literary and artistic editorial team, and the editorial team decided to ask it after reading it. hired.

  According to the level of the manuscript fee, the level given to this poem is still very high!

  He was contemplating, and Zhang Youxin was curiously counting the number of words in this poem. After counting, he said in shock: "There are fifty-four words in total, and you are 30 cents per word? Even better than Teacher Ai Qing!"

  Wang Yi became anxious when he heard this, and asked, "How is it possible? This poem of mine has more than 100 words, and each word should be worth a dime - what are you looking at?"

There are four poems in the literary and art section of the newspaper. One of the poems is authored by "Mr. Me". Zhang Youxin pointed to this poem and asked: "You are a teacher, is this your pseudonym? Mr. used to mean teacher. right?"

  Wang Yi followed and saw that 'My husband' published a short poem called 'Motherland, my dear motherland'.

   Qiu Weishui carefully looked at the four poems next to him and said, "It should be this "Facing the Sea with Spring Flowers Blooming", right? The pseudonym is Haier. I think this poem and pseudonym are in line with the situation of our outer islands."

  Wang Yi grinned in pain.

  Congratulations, you guessed it right!

  The poem he contributed to Xinmin Daily is the famous "Facing the sea with spring flowers blooming".

   He miscalculated this matter.

   He regrets it now!

  It was not his original intention to plagiarize poetry: he really didn't want to be a **** and build an archway, but he misjudged the relationship between Liu Dabiao and Hongshudao.

He never thought that Liu Dabiao would hide a corpse on the island - of course, he now understands that the person was not killed by Liu Dabiao, but by Li Yanhong's wife, and Liu Dabiao coveted the beauty of Li Yanhong's wife, so he hid it The corpse threatened Li Yanhong's wife with this incident.

  But he didn't know it at the time. He learned that the trees and wild birds on Mangrove Island were protected by the red-headed document issued by the provincial government, so he thought that the goods were stolen rare birds and were killed in 1983.

   For 83 years, it is not surprising that he was killed for this kind of crime.

   He also thought about one more thing. Maybe his guess was wrong. Liu Dabiao's criminal case was in other aspects, but according to the information he heard, it was related to Mangrove Island.

  Then Wang Yi thought that he would let the province pay attention to Mangrove Island, so that he could take the opportunity to attack Liu Dabiao and shoot him first to make him honest.

   But he is just an ordinary private teacher on the outer islands, how can he be able to start the topic of wildlife protection on Mangrove Island?

   So he thought of a trick. First, he wrote a few poems to various newspapers, and made his reputation as a marine poet on the outer islands.

   The reason why he chose "Facing the Sea with Spring Blossoms" also has his considerations. The first poem is indeed related to the ocean on the surface.

   is also in line with his personality: after graduating from college, he just wanted to face the sea and watch the spring flowers bloom, so he returned to his hometown to serve his hometown.

   Of course, this poem expresses the poet's yearning for a happy life, and the core is loneliness and desolation - this is also in line with the situation of the outer islands.

  Wang Yi can explain that he longed for a happy life and returned to his hometown, but found that his hometown was backward and poor, so he felt sad and sad for the villagers.

   In addition, he had another thought in choosing this poem, which he thought was enough to offset his guilt of plagiarizing Hai Zi's poems:

   He wanted to try to use poetry to get in touch with the original author of the poem, and then become friends with him, so as to enlighten him and avoid his suicide.

   Haizi, the original author of "Facing the Sea with Spring Blossoms", committed suicide by lying on the rails a little over two months after writing this poem!

   This happened in 1989, and in 1982 this year, Haizi has made his debut.

   So Wang Yi also made his debut under the name of Haier, thinking of making as many encounters as possible so that he could get in touch with Haizi, and then become friends and change his attitude towards life.

  Haizi's lying on the track is really a pain in the field of modern poetry culture.

   This is a talented and kind post-60s generation.

   With Wang Yi's acquiescence, Qiu Weishui took the newspaper and recited:

"Be a happy man from tomorrow on

   Feed horses, chop wood, travel the world

   From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables

  I have a house facing the sea and spring flowers blooming..."

   She read the poem in cadence and passion.

   In fact, this poem should be recited gently and somewhat sadly.

   However, the social trend these days is positive, and cultures such as salted fish, lying flat, and moisturizing have no soil in the current era.

   Qiu Weishui finished reading the poem and looked at Wang Yi in shock.

  People who are a little literate after reading this poem can taste a little of its extraordinary taste even if they don't feel that it is very good.

   This song "Facing the Sea with Spring Flowers Blossoms" sings the sincerity and kindness of a poet in simple, clear and timeless and fresh language - even if it is a stranger, it sincerely wishes you to "get happiness in this world".

   Qiu Weishui stared blankly at Wang Yi and said, "This poem is similar to "The Peach Blossom Spring" written by Tao Yuanming, a writer of the Jin Dynasty. It talks about a paradise, so warm, so bright, so full of hope."

   "But why did I feel a little sad and sad after I finished reading it?"

   Wang Yi sighed: "Because the end of human emotion is always a tragedy!"

   Qiu Weishui said softly after listening, "Mr. Wang, you are so talented. You can not only write songs, but also poems. You are a poet!"

Wang Yi waved his hand in a low-key manner: "Occasionally, I have a little insight. The article is natural, and I got it by accident. In fact, it is not because I am talented, but there is just a moment when my feelings and inspirations are blended with the artistic conception of this poem. Nothing great."

   Zhang Youxin said loudly, "It's nothing special that you can write a poem about a dime a word? Teacher Wang, I think you are too modest, you are too modest!"

"I do not have!"

"You have!"

   "No!"

   "You have it!"

   There were many women and old people wearing straw hats to repair the damaged fishing boat. They heard Zhang Youxin's voice and asked, "Comrade Zhang, what are you yelling about? Why is Mr. Wang so modest again?"

Zhang Youxin said excitedly: "Mr. Wang has become a writer, a great writer. He published a poem in "Xinmin Daily". If he wrote one character, the newspaper would give him a dime, and if he wrote 167 characters, he would be given to him. 16 yuan and 7 cents!"

"so amazing!"

   Hearing this, women and old people rushed to watch the fun.

  Wang Yi didn't want to show the limelight.

   Especially now that Liu Dabiao is finished, he does not need the appeal to attract public attention to Mangrove Island.

   So he should be quiet. Now his thoughts are to find a chance to have a relationship with Hai Zi, and then try to get rid of him more, and try to keep this new star in the literary world at the end of the 20th century.

   So he waved to the women and the old people: "It's nothing, nothing, it's just that I wrote something and published it in the newspaper, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

   Qiu Weishui somewhat admired him, and took the initiative to hold his wrist and said, "Mr. Wang, this is not worth mentioning. "Xinmin Daily" is a big newspaper, and it's amazing to be able to publish poems on it."

   "And I have read your poem, Mr. Wang, you, you have written it in my heart."

When    said this, the girl was somewhat shy.

   But the eyes looking at Wang Yi were burning.

   This hopeful yet tragic poem resonated with her.

   She suddenly understood why she was willing to come to Tianya Island.

   It turned out that she also wanted to have a house, to face the sea, to see the spring flowers bloom...

'Be a happy man from tomorrow on. Feed horses, chop wood, travel the world. From tomorrow, take care of food and vegetables. '

   This poem aroused her empathy at the beginning.

   In those dark days, how much she wanted to be a happy person, no one knew what happened to her in her childhood and boyhood, and no one knew what kind of world she had seen.

   But she doesn't know what kind of life is happy.

  Mr. Wang's poem gave her some insight. She feeds horses and chopping wood to do housework, looks at the world, and cares about the food around her. Life is very simple.

   She held Wang Yi's wrist, feeling excited and full of tenderness for a while.

   This man understands me very well!

  Wang Yi made her look a little nervous.

   I'm a teacher, not a pope, don't look at me like that.

Seeing that more and more women and old people came to join in the fun, he quickly pulled Qiu Weishui with the envelope and left: "Brother Youxin, help me deliver everything to Duobao Island, my address and contact person have been written clearly. I won't send you away, goodbye."

  Women and old people surrounded Zhang Youxin and asked, "What is Teacher Wang doing?"

   Zhang Youxin said with admiration, "Mr. Wang has become a writer—you all know about Xinmin Daily, right?"

   Although the members on the island are not literate enough, they are quite familiar with newspapers. In the past, the outer islands had to be literate, so they had teachers lead them to read and read newspapers, so they knew the authority of Xinmin Daily.

Seeing the members nod in succession, Zhang Youxin said, "Mr. Wang's writing was published by Xinmin Daily, and he wrote poetry. The newspaper would give him a dime for writing one word, and the newspaper would give him a dime if he wrote 167 words. Give him 16 yuan and 7 cents!"

  The members exclaimed:

   "It's amazing, Teacher Wang is still a writer!"

   "I knew that this baby of the Xiangwen family is amazing, literate, absolutely literate. Think about the storytelling he said, how wonderful!"

   "But this is so amazing, he writes a word and people give him a dime? Really?"

   "Comrade Zhang eats public food, how could he be wrong? People give you 10 cents for writing one word, and ten dollars for writing a hundred words."
