When Zhou Zhigang was washing clothes, his apprentice suddenly ran over shouting.
"Master, Master, I have your telegram."
Zhou Zhigang raised his head, wiped his hands dry with a towel, and asked, "Where did the telegram come from?"
"Ji Chun is here." The apprentice handed the telegram to Zhou Zhigang and said.
Zhou Zhigang quickly received the telegram, worried that something might happen to his family, but when he opened the telegram and looked at it, he had a strange expression on his face.
It was a complex expression of disbelief, ecstasy, and even a little bit of madness.
The apprentice has been with Zhou Zhigang for almost six years, and this is the first time he has seen his master lose his temper like this.
"Master, what happened at home?"
Zhou Zhigang said subconsciously: "My son is going to college! I am going to have grandchildren!"
The disciple was confused when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Master, which of your sons is going to college, and which of your wives is pregnant with a child?"
"My youngest son Bingkun was recommended to go to university, and his wife is pregnant." Zhou Zhigang carefully put away the telegram, he was so excited that he had not recovered yet.
The disciple congratulated and said: "Congratulations to Master, congratulations to Master, this is a double blessing."
Zhou Zhigang thought of his son and couldn't help laughing and said: "That little bastard is going to be a father too."
But soon, Zhou Zhigang also realized a problem.
My son has to go to school and my daughter-in-law is pregnant again. What should I do at home?
Li Suhua is in poor health and is currently taking antihypertensive drugs. Her biological mother is even more frail and has a blind child.
As the son is the backbone of the family, once he goes to school, if something happens to the family, who can take care of him?
Seeing his master's sudden expression, the disciple couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong?"
Zhou Zhigang put away the telegram and said, "I want to go back to Jichun early to celebrate the New Year."
The apprentice thought that Zhou Zhigang was experiencing a happy event and wanted to go home early.
Zhou Zhigang stopped washing his clothes, asked his apprentice to help him, and ran directly back to the dormitory to pack his things. Halfway through, he remembered something and hurried to send a telegram.
Two telegrams were sent in total, one to Zhou Rong in Guizhou and one to Zhou Bingyi. The contents were the same, instructing the children to go home for the New Year this year no matter what.
Because sending a telegram was too expensive, most of Zhou Zhigang's salary was sent back to Jichun, so the telegram did not mention Wang Gang's happy event.
When Zhou Bingyi received the telegram, he was still confused. Hadn't he already written back to tell his parents that he would return to Jichun for the New Year this year? Why did his father still send a telegram to urge him?
After all, he was a filial child. After receiving the telegram, he found his wife Hao Dongmei and prepared to return to Jichun early.
Zhou Rong, who received the telegram on the other side, didn't take it seriously. She still followed the original plan and took her children back to her hometown with her husband Feng Huacheng.
Over in Jichun, Wang Gang told Zheng Juan to have a good rest at home the next day, while he himself took out a jade pendant from the space and planned to pawn it for money.
But what Wang Gang didn't expect was that the jade pendant he bought for more than 300,000 yuan in Xiao She De World could only be exchanged for 1,400 yuan here.
However, Wang Gang didn't care and pawned it anyway, deposited the money in the bank and collected the pawn tickets.
When he returned to the magazine and was not ready to work, Shao Jingwen found him.
"Xiao Zhou, please go out with me."
Shao Jingwen took Wang Gang and left without even saying where he was going.
Wang Gang originally thought it was about work, but when he left the magazine, he saw a car parked on the street, and Shao Jingwen took him into the car without saying anything.
Now Wang Gang knew that Shao Jingwen didn't bring him out for work.
Even the president of a publishing house is not qualified to ride in a car.
"Editor-in-Chief, where are you taking me?" Wang Gang said confused.
"I'll take you to see a leader. You were recommended to go to college because of the leader's help." Shao Jingwen said mysteriously.
"Ah?" Wang Gang said in surprise: "Which leader can help me so much?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Wang Gang found that the car drove into a compound and stopped in front of a bungalow. An old couple stood at the door of the bungalow, seemingly waiting for him.
Seeing the old couple, Wang Gang knew who was helping him.
As soon as Wang got out of the car, the old gentleman in the old couple ran over enthusiastically.
"My savior has finally arrived."
Yes, the old man is Ma Shouchang.
When Wang Gang sent Ma Shouchang to No. 131 Hospital, he left without even leaving his name. In the past three years, he never thought of getting acquainted with Ma Shouchang.
Unexpectedly, Ma Shouchang still found him.
"Old sir, are you the one who slipped and fell in the bathhouse?" Wang Gang pretended to be confused.
"Saviour, you are really easy for me to find!" Ma Shouchang held Wang Gang's hand and said with a smile.
Next to Ma Shouchang is his wife, Qu Xiuzhen.
The old couple enthusiastically invited Wang Gang and Shao Jingwen into the house and served them a plate of peanuts, melon seeds and fruit, which made Wang Gang a little flattered.
During the conversation, Wang just learned that after Ma Shouchang was sent to the hospital, he had been thinking about his lifesaver.
It's just that Wang Gang didn't even leave his name at the beginning, and there was a huge crowd. Even if Ma Shouchang was a big leader, it was difficult to find someone.
The reason why I was able to find Wang Gang was because of the stories he wrote.
By chance, Ma Shouchang read a copy of Golden Land magazine and was immediately attracted by the column stories written by Wang Gang, and soon became a die-hard fan.
In order to meet his favorite writer, Ma Shouchang went to the magazine office and recognized Wang Gang from a distance.
Because of his identity, Ma Shouchang did not go to Wang Gang to get to know him immediately. Instead, he read the story he wrote from beginning to end. The more he read, the more he liked it.
Later, Ma Shouchang checked Wang Gang's background, and he admired Wang Gang more, so he mentioned it to the president of the publishing house.
The president knew about the relationship between Wang Gang and Ma Shouchang, and whether he sincerely cultivated Wang Gang or flattered Ma Shouchang, the university's recommendation spot was given to Wang Gang.
So Ma Shouchang helped Wang Gang a lot.
"Last time I helped you with just a little effort." Wang Gang said modestly.
"The doctor said that if you hadn't sent my old horse to the hospital in time, his leg would have been useless." Qu Xiuzhen peeled an apple and gave it to Wang Gang.
"You're too polite. Anyone who sees this kind of thing will take action, even if I happen to encounter it." Wang Gang took the apple, not daring to take credit.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is our fate." Ma Shouchang laughed loudly, without any airs of being an official.
Qu Xiuzhen on the side noticed that Wang Gang had behaved very calmly from the moment he entered the house until now, possessing a stability that he did not have at his age.
"Xiao Zhou, you don't know that my old Ma likes the stories you write. Now I subscribe to every issue of Golden Land Magazine and read your columns." Qu Xiuzhen admires promising young people the most, so she is very friendly to Wang Gang.
.
Wang Gang said a few words of modesty, and Shao Jingwen next to him quit his job and directly praised: "Xiao Zhou's story is the trump card column of our magazine. He can not only write short stories, but also full-length novels."
"Oh!" Ma Shouchang's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you have any works? Can you show them to me?"
Wang Gang wondered: "I did write an immature novel, but it is difficult to be considered elegant during the verification stage."
Ma Shouchang was slightly disappointed, and Shao Jingwen said, "I brought Xiao Zhou's first draft."
Wang Gang looked at Shao Jingwen in surprise, where did this song come from?
Shao Jingwen took out a manuscript from his bag and handed it to Ma Shouchang respectfully.
Ma Shouchang took it excitedly, and then said to Qu Xiuzhen: "Bring me my reading glasses."
Qu Xiuzhen stood up with a smile and got reading glasses for her husband. Ma Shouchang read the novel written by Wang Gang in front of everyone.
"The name of the novel is "Bright Sword"!" Ma Shouchang turned to the first page and was quickly attracted by the content of the novel. Qu Xiuzhen didn't even respond when he called him.
Qu Xiuzhen saw that Ma Shou was fascinated by what he was reading, and she also became interested and picked up the manuscript he had read.
As a result, Qu Xiuzhen was also fascinated by it.
"Lao Ma, have you finished reading it? If you haven't finished reading it, show it to me first."
Qu Xiuzhen is about ten years younger than Ma Shouchang, has better eyesight than him, and can read faster.
"Why are you so anxious?" Ma Shouchang held on to the manuscript without letting go, showing his love for the novel.
This book "Bright Sword" was copied by Wang Gang based on the one he remembered.
It is said to be a copycat, but Wang Gang did not copy it. Although the main content is similar, every word is Wang Gang's own creation, which is completely different from the original work.
In fact, even if you ask him to copy the original work verbatim, he can't do it.
This book "Bright Sword" is also Wang Gang's test of the waters. He plans to concentrate on developing literature in this world and no longer does business.
Ma Shouchang watched it for two hours in a row, still feeling a little unfinished.
"What a great book! What a great book." Ma Shouchang put down the half-read manuscript and said to Wang Gang, "Can you let me have your manuscript for a few days? I will return it to you after reading it."
"As long as Mr. Ma likes it." Can Wang Gang say no?
Ma Shouchang took the manuscript and said, "This novel of yours reminds me of many old friends."
