All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Although Wen Xiaoqing and Lu Songlin are also employees of Red Star Department Store, they, like Yue Wenxuan, will go to graduate school after the new semester starts, so they do not plan to retain shares in Red Star Department Store.

Since no one had any objection, Chen Xiaoliang decided to buy the remaining 50% of the shares, which was exactly what he wanted.

Although Chen Xiaoliang had saved a lot of money in the past year, all his savings added up to only 340 yuan, which was 60 yuan short of the 400 yuan required to buy 50% of the shares.

He said to Yue Wenxuan apologetically, "Wenxuan, I only have 340 yuan in savings right now. I can only give you this much now. It may take another two or three months before I can return the full 400 yuan to you."

Yue Wenxuan certainly wouldn't care about that. "I'm not in a hurry to use the money, so don't rush to pay me back. You can give me 300 first, and you can pay me back the rest slowly after you get your salary."

"This money is useless to me, so I'd better return it to you as soon as possible so that I can feel at ease. I'll give you the three hundred and four hundred yuan first, and the remaining sixty yuan should be collected in three months at most."

Even though Yue Wenxuan is his best friend, Chen Xiaoliang is still not used to owing others money and wants to pay it back as soon as possible.

The other people had no money, and it was not something they could do in a short period of time to collect the 80 yuan needed to buy shares.

Yue Wenxuan simply relaxed the payment period to four months for everyone, and each person only had to pay him twenty per month. In this way, the payment could be paid off in four months.

After the ownership of the shares was confirmed, everyone was very happy and full of confidence in the future development of Red Star Department Store.

After discussing the redistribution of shares, Chen Xiaoliang took the opportunity to ask Yue Wenxuan for advice, and Yue Wenxuan briefly explained his ideas.

In the next one or two years, the bicycle and radio assembly projects will still be the main source of income for the store, but in the future, the store's operations will gradually shift to the sales of small sundries.

In the short term, the store still has some difficulties in purchasing more and richer goods, but after one or two years, the situation will gradually improve. After solving the purchasing problem, the store's development will definitely enter the fast lane, and everyone's income will definitely increase. Yue Wenxuan is still very optimistic about this.

As for future development, Yue Wenxuan simply gave some suggestions. There was no need to say too much now. It was enough as long as Chen Xiaoliang had a simple impression in his mind.

After the redistribution of the shares of Red Star Department Store, Yue Wenxuan began to gradually let go of the management work and slowly handed it over to Chen Xiaoliang.

His school start time was relatively late, and he had to report on October 9th. During these months, Yue Wenxuan wrote another novella, "Sunny Days".

Today, Yue Wenxuan's fame is increasing, and this novella is still published in "People's Literature".

Just after this novel was published, it was finally time to start school.

On October 1978, 10, Yue Wenxuan reported to the Chinese Department of Peking University. After completing the formalities, he was assigned to a four-person dormitory.

The newly painted dormitory smells strongly of paint. With four people living in a room of more than ten square meters, it still feels very crowded.

Students of this generation often wear the Peking University badge with red background and white characters when they go out, and even teachers wear this badge. After entering the campus, Yue Wenxuan's biggest feeling is that the students are full of vigor and vitality.

The Chinese Department of Peking University enrolled a total of 19 students in the first batch of graduate students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, divided into seven majors. There were 6 students in the modern literature major where Yue Wenxuan was studying, and there was also a Chinese female overseas Chinese from Argentina.

The tutors for the modern literature major are Wang Yao and Yan Jiayan, and Le Daiyun is the deputy tutor, responsible for more specific liaison and guidance.

The graduate student guidance during this period gave full play to the collective role. Teachers such as Sun Yushi, Tang Yuan, Huang Xiuji, Sun Qingsheng, Yuan Liangjun, as well as Xie Mian, Zhang Zhong, and Li Sixiao all participated in the specific guidance.

Famous scholars from outside the school, such as Chen Yong, Fan Jun, Ye Ziming, Huang Manjun, and Lu Yaodong, were also invited to give lectures.

This is very different from the situation in the future. Graduate students in the future may only know their supervisor and a few teachers who have taught them after three years of study. Students are also divided into different "schools" according to their supervisors, and there is a lack of communication between them.

At this time, the relationship between teachers and students was very harmonious, and Yue Wenxuan was very familiar with many teachers in his major and other majors.

Sun Yushi and Yuan Liangjun taught the basic course of modern literature to the undergraduate students of the Class of 77 in a large class with more than people in the lecture hall of the Second Teaching Building. Yue Wenxuan and several other graduate students sometimes sat on the concrete steps when they couldn't get a seat, but they would still attend every class.

Professor Wu Zuxiang's history of ancient novels and teacher Jin Kaicheng's literary psychology are also topics frequently discussed by Yue Wenxuan and others.

Linguists Zhu Dexi and Qin Qixiang, and philologist Qiu Xigui came to the graduate dormitory to provide tutoring every few days.

Several graduate students sat on their beds and communicated with the teacher. The teacher would casually start a topic, and often half a day would pass like this.

Yue Wenxuan felt that Mr. Wang Yao was not actually very strict. After having more contact with him, several graduate students felt that Mr. Wang Yao was very friendly. Everyone was very relaxed during the lecture, and in this atmosphere, the topic could also become lively.

Almost every ten days or half a month, Yue Wenxuan and several other graduate students would go to Jingchun Garden to listen to Mr. Wang Yao's lectures. He would often start with one topic and then turn to several other topics in succession, quoting from classics and speaking with wild imagination. The more he spoke, the more engaged and excited he became.

Mr. Wang Yao often smokes his pipe non-stop, coughs and gasps, and can't stop talking.

Yue Wenxuan felt that Mr. Wang Yao was not pedantic, but rather a man with the experience of having gone through many hardships. He was free and easy in discussing studies and philosophy, and was witty and humorous, often revealing his wisdom in life.

Yue Wenxuan always saw Mr. Wang Yao reading newspapers. Perhaps he wanted to maintain his sensitivity in life. When tutoring students, he also liked to connect with reality, discuss current affairs, and comment on people.

Mr. Wang Yao has some of the demeanor of the famous scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He is active in learning, can understand people and the world, and can even analyze many social phenomena. What is commendable is his sharp critical eye.

Mr. Wang Yao's famous saying is "If you don't say it, it's useless. If you say it, it's useless. But you have to say it even if it's useless." His meaning is that intellectuals should always have a unique function. This kind of worldly and critical spirit often has a subtle influence on students' conduct and study.

Yue Wenxuan did not mention his identity as the writer Wenxuan to his teachers and classmates. Although his name contained the word "Wenxuan", no one would associate his name with the writer Wenxuan.

He hopes that this relaxed student life can be maintained for a longer period of time, and it would be best not to expose his identity as a writer.

After all, the influence of the writer Wenxuan is quite great during this period. Once his true identity is exposed, not to mention the students who are watching, there will definitely be many people who will come to him to discuss things. It will probably be difficult for him to listen to lectures and study leisurely like he does now.

Although Wen Xiaoqing and Yue Wenxuan were not studying the same major, they were studying in the same university, eating together every day, and occasionally getting together during large classes. It was almost the same as before.

One month after Yue Wenxuan enrolled, his grandfather finally came to Peking University for exchange and lectures in early December. His grandfather Cong Chengxi arrived at Peking University on the morning of the 6th. The school held a simple meeting in the morning and a reception at noon. Yue Wenxuan did not see his grandfather until dinner.

Yue Wenxuan's previous guess has come true, because with the arrival of his grandfather Cong Chengxi, the Yue family's living environment has improved.

Cong Chengxi was well-known in the international academic community, and he used his influence to do a lot of important work for Peking University internationally. In order to do a good job of receiving him, Peking University allocated a two-bedroom apartment to Cong Qiuhui.

Although the area was still not very large, only more than 40 square meters, it was a rare good house in that period.

After getting this house, Yue Wenxuan's parents moved from Shuimu's dormitory to the new dormitory. After all, this house is bigger and more comfortable to live in.

Because it was not Sunday yet, the four students in the family, except Yue Wenxuan and younger sister Yue Ruoyun, were unable to go home for the time being and could only wait until Sunday to come back and meet their grandfather.

At the dinner in the evening, apart from Yue Wenxuan's parents, the only people from the family who participated in the reception were Yue Wenxuan, Wen Xiaoqing and his younger sister Yue Ruoyun.

Yue Wenxuan's grandfather is already in his seventies and his hair is already gray, but he is in good spirits and looks full of energy.

Cong Chengxi was very excited to see that his daughter and her family were all doing well and had a lot to say.

The old man had already met his daughter and son-in-law and had a good chat with them. After seeing Yue Wenxuan and the others, he was especially happy to know that the children in his family were all successful in their studies.

Cong Qiuhui hadn't seen her father for many years, so of course she had to prepare well for the first meal her old father had at home.

With the help of Wen Xiaoqing, Cong Qiuhui cooked a large table full of dishes. Yue Xuchu also specially opened a bottle of Moutai liquor. The family ate and chatted at the table. The atmosphere was extremely cheerful and harmonious.

After eating and drinking, Cong Chengxi said with some emotion: "Finally, I meet you again. Knowing that you are living a good life, I am really relieved.

In the past few years, we always read about the changes in the mainland in the newspapers, especially those shocking rumors we heard. We were so worried that we couldn't sleep all night.

I want to do something, but I'm worried that it will cause trouble for you. That feeling of powerlessness is so painful.

After we got back in touch, what I was most worried about was your safety. Until we got back in touch and knew that your family was safe and sound, you don’t know how happy we were.”

Cong Qiuhui wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and said, "Actually, we are still relatively safe. Although we have been implicated a little, the problem is not serious.

Even during those two years when the situation was the most severe, I was just assigned a new job and worked as a cleaner at the company for two years.

Fortunately, our unit is not very big, so even if we have to clean, the workload is not too much, and two years passed quickly.

Later, when the situation improved, I resumed my translation work and didn't suffer much.

I know you and my mom must be very worried, but unfortunately, in such a serious situation, I didn't dare to write to you. Fortunately, you are more alert and have not written to us since the situation became serious. This is very important.

If I had received your letter during the two years when the situation was the most serious, I would have been taken away instead of being assigned a new job."

"Fortunately, your mother and I are well-informed. After we found out about the situation here, we never dared to write to you again." Speaking of this, Cong Chengxi also felt very fortunate.

Seeing that his father-in-law still looked frightened, Yue Xuchu quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about the past. I believe that the days ahead will definitely get better and better."

"Yes, we need to look forward. Today's policies have changed, and the previous situation will definitely not happen again."

Cong Chengxi has always felt sorry for his daughter, thinking that her family has suffered too much over the years, and he always wanted to make up for it.

Long before they set out, his wife had discussed this matter with him, and he took the opportunity to say, "Qiu Hui, your mother has always been worried about you. If the procedures were not difficult to handle, she would have come with you this time.

Before coming, she asked me to see how you were doing and to help you to the best of my ability.

Putting aside other things, your current housing conditions are too tight. There are only two rooms for such a large family. How can you live in them?"

Cong Qiuhui felt that her life was pretty good now, so she quickly said, "Dad, you don't know how tight the housing situation is in our university. I've been given such a big house, which has already made many people envious.

I was only assigned one dormitory before, but because of you, the school wanted to welcome you well, so they assigned me this big house.

In addition to this house, Xuchu also got a house in Shuimu. Compared with other families, our housing conditions are already very good. I am really satisfied. "

"Your mother and I don't have any burden, and we have saved a lot of money over the years.

Your eldest brother and your second brother are both well off and do not need any subsidy from us two old people. It is just so happens that the little money we have can be used for your family. Otherwise, it will just stay in the bank account and become a cold number, useless.

Putting aside other things, I think I can buy you a house first, at least to improve your living conditions."

For Cong Chengxi, the money spent on buying a house is really not a burden.

"I really don't think it's necessary. After we divided up this big house, it's enough for my family to live in.

Besides, it’s not easy to buy a house now. Even if you have money, you may not be able to find a suitable house. Let’s wait and see about this matter.”

Although Cong Qiuhui knew that her older brothers might not mind, she still didn't want to add to the burden on her parents.
