Chapter 121 Chen Jing
Today is the weekend, and Li Wen has to go to the cultural center for activities, so he doesn't stay at Erya's house for too long.
However, he already had a plan in mind, and he would regularly support Erya's family in the future, at least to keep them fed and clothed.
However, Li Wen would not be overly helpful. After all, a life earned by one's own hands would be more secure and reliable.
Breakfast was delayed for more than an hour, and it was already past ten o'clock. After leaving Erya's house, Li Wen quickened his pace and rushed towards the cultural center.
Ten minutes later, Li Wen arrived at the gate of the County Normal School. The Cultural Center was opposite the Normal School.
Li Wen looked at this normal school and felt an inexplicable warmth and strangeness.
It’s so familiar because this normal school later became a middle school, and Li Wen attended high school here.
Strangeness means that I have never been to this school in this era, and my sense of it is very far away.
Li Wen's original body used to do very well in school! He just wanted to be admitted to the county normal school in the future, and then be assigned to be a teacher in the school after graduation, which would also be regarded as an iron rice bowl.
I never imagined that not only did I fail the normal school exam, but I even failed the high school exam. I guess I must have received my retribution for stealing someone else's melon.
The predecessor of this normal school was the Confucius Temple, but the Confucian Temple was damaged before the founding of the People's Republic of China. A simple normal school was built on the original site of the Confucian Temple.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country began to eliminate illiteracy across the country and required school-age children to attend school. Teacher resources were extremely scarce, so this formal secondary teacher's college came into being.
The education system of this era is that after graduating from junior high school, students are first admitted to the middle school normal school and technical secondary school, and then to key high schools and senior high schools.
After graduating from junior high school, only the top few in the county's high school entrance examination can enter the normal school.
What a great thing it is for rural children to be admitted to the technical secondary school normal school, eat commercial food, and have an iron rice bowl!
This normal school is also a role model for students in several surrounding counties. It has inspired countless high school students to enter university.
This normal school is famous throughout Qin Province.
Because this school has produced countless grassroots teachers and cadres; there are even many celebrities and officials at the provincial and municipal levels, and it can be said that they have been famous for decades.
It is a pity that after the new century, due to policy or small area reasons, it was merged into the city and became an ordinary college, and its glory was no longer there.
Later, when Li Wen was studying in the high school renovated from the normal school, he often heard the history teacher lamenting about this great school.
Li Wenwen originally wanted to go in for a visit, but was stopped by the guard and outsiders were prohibited from entering.
There were people coming and going in the cultural center today because a small symposium was being held. Many well-known local literati and poets gathered together.
"Xiao Wen, why haven't I seen you writing articles recently?" The guard was very happy to see Li Wen coming over.
“I live in my hometown in the village in winter, and it’s not convenient to come to the county town on snowy days, so I didn’t publish any works.”
"I haven't seen you for a while, sir. Are you still in good health recently?" Li Wen said with a smile and handed over a cigarette.
"Having a background as a soldier, look at my skills. He's very strong!" The guard said and performed a split for Li Wen.
"Okay, okay! Uncle, you are over sixty years old and you are still doing the splits. I can't afford to hurt my waist by then!" Li Wen saw that the uncle was about to continue performing and quickly stopped him.
"Haha, this means I'm old, otherwise I have to show you. On the battlefield, I was very agile. The little devils I killed were so scared." The old man was very happy to see Li Wen coming, and pulled Li Wen along.
Wen talked about past stories.
"Wenzi and uncle are chatting?"
Li Wenzheng was chatting animatedly with the doorman, and Zheng Kai came over pushing his bicycle.
"Kaizi, how come you have time to come to the cultural center today? You have a very busy day!" Li Wen saw Zheng Kai turning around and sending out a cigarette and said with a smile.
"You're such a big kid! If you don't smoke for a whole day, you still smoke it everywhere when you see people." Zheng Kai took the cigarette and lit it and said with a smile.
"Don't give it to me, you are gibbering, I don't want to socialize?" Li Wen said. Zheng Kai chuckled and did not answer the question.
"Oh! I'm so busy with work today, and it's all about trivial things. I'm riding a bicycle all day long here and there." My butt is rubbed to pieces by the car seat.
"Today is the weekend, I don't have much to do in the afternoon, so come over and take a look." Zheng Kai complained.
These days, police officers either walk or use bicycles. The entire county public security bureau only has one or two three-wheelers, which is not enough. So being a police officer is also very hard.
"Uncle, let's talk later. Let's go in first. We will be late in a while." After saying hello to the guard, the two of them walked into the cultural center.
"Li Wen, Zheng Kai, you are here!" The two came to the office of the Writing Association, where more than a dozen young people were already sitting.
"All the beauties and handsome men are here very early!" Li Wen greeted everyone with a smile.
Hearing Li Wen's name, all the boys laughed and called Li Wen a discerning man.
Girls who were familiar with Li Wen, such as Chen Shuyao, Zhang Tao, and Sun Li, covered their mouths and giggled; girls who were not familiar with him were shy and blushed slightly.
"Comrade Li Wen, I found that you are quite glib at such a young age." Zhang Tao is like a little hot pepper. After laughing, he put his hands on his hips, raised his chin slightly, and raised his eyebrows.
With Zhang Tao taking the lead, many girls suddenly criticized Li Wen.
"I'm sorry, lesbians, I shouldn't have said anything about you beauties. And I'm not a gay, I'm only two or three years older than you." Li Wen quickly made a surrender gesture and said with a wry smile.
"What do you mean we shouldn't be called beauties? Aren't we beauties?" Zhang Tao said reluctantly.
When Li Wen saw that these girls were taking advantage of him, he hurriedly took out five or six toffee from his pocket and handed one to each of them, and then he was let go.
Li Wen turned around and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He thought to himself: "Oh my god! Who said that girls in this era are more conservative, and they are no less generous than later generations!" Fortunately, he has space and the usual pockets for candy.
habits.
"Li Wen, why haven't you come to the weekend writing gathering of the Writing Association in recent months?" Chen Shumei said with toffee in her mouth.
Chen Shumei wore a beige woolen shirt and red leather shoes today. She looked very fashionable.
"Didn't I say it last year? It's too cold in winter and it's inconvenient to go back and forth when it snows. Come back after the new year." Li Wen said helplessly, spreading his hands.
"It's already April, and several months have passed since the end of the year, and I haven't seen you here. In the past two months or so, none of our youth writers' works have appeared in newspapers or periodicals."
"You just came here today and you didn't know that those old men from the Writers' Association were getting so angry every day that I really wanted to punch them in the nose." Zhang Tao, who was standing next to him, clenched his fists and grinned.
"I will live in the county from now on. Then we will fight side by side, write a good work, and slap them in the face, okay!" Looking at Zhang Tao's eager expression, Li Wen said hurriedly, fearing that a small fist would hit his nose.
"You have moved to the county town. Where do you live?" Everyone asked happily.
"I live in Wenjia Lane behind the county town. Everyone is welcome to come and visit me," Li Wen said with a smile.
"That's not far from my home! My home is in an alley behind Wenjia Lane, and maybe it's across from your backyard." Chen Shuyao stood up and said with a smile.
"Then we will be neighbors from now on! And is the beauty next to you new here? Let me introduce you to her." Li Wen smiled, looked at the girl next to Chen Shuyao and asked.
"This is my second aunt's cousin Chen Jing. She can write poetry, and now she has joined our Writers Association. Also, my cousin is a great beauty!" Chen Shuyao smiled and pulled up.
The girl next to me said. (For family reasons, Chen Shuyao took her mother’s surname.)
Li Wen looked over and saw that this girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old. But she was very fashionable, and even from his future perspective, she would not be out of place.
Chen Jing wore light makeup and lipstick on her face. Her already slightly oval face still had a little baby fat, and her big eyes were very bright.
The upper body was wearing a red Nizi coat, the pants Li Wen didn't recognize, but they were just tight-leg pants, and he was actually wearing a pair of boots.
Li Wen's eyes lit up when she saw how she dressed and groomed her appearance like this. What Chen Shuyao said was true, such a girl would still be a beautiful girl even in future generations.
