After Zhu Jing finished talking to Qu Aiguo, Fang Tao approached Qu Aiguo and asked, "President, does Teacher Yu come to the activity classroom often?"
"Brother Dong doesn't come here much. The principal happened to be looking for me today. He came over to call me."
Facing new members, Qu Aiguo had no airs. He was not surprised by Fang Tao's question, because almost every member would ask Yu Dong immediately.
In fact, a large part of the people in the association came here for Yu Dong.
Although the official has never said that this science fiction association has any relationship with Yu Dong, from all aspects, the association and Yu Dong are inextricably linked.
The situation is the same at the poetry reading club, so when others mention the Cucumber Garden Science Fiction Association and the Cucumber Garden Poetry Reading Club, they think they were founded by Yu Dong.
Seeing that Fang Tao was a little disappointed, Qu Aiguo patted him on the shoulder, smiled and comforted him: "It doesn't matter. If you participate in more association activities in the future, you will definitely be able to meet Brother Dong. In fact, the students in our school are already very fond of Brother Dong."
Immune.”
Fang Tao pursed his lips. Qu Aiguo's comfort not only failed to comfort him, but instead made him feel sour.
"By the way, President, I read in the news that Mr. Yu's autograph session in Chengdu was very successful. Do you think he will also hold an autograph session in Jinling?" Fang Tao asked another question that he was very concerned about.
question.
Qu Aiguo shook his head and said: "Who knows, but don't worry, as long as you perform well, you will definitely have signed books. Let me tell you, I have several signed books by Brother Dong in my hand, such as "The Last
"The City", "Resident Evil", and several magazines where he published novels. They are all kept in my drawer, and they are all very special signatures, and basically each one has a message."
Wang Hailin on the side smiled strangely when he heard Qu Aiguo's words. He had seen the signed books collected by Qu Aiguo, and indeed, as he said, almost every one of them had a gift message, but those words were not very nice.
Qu Aiguo once went to Yu Dong for an autograph with "The Last City" for nothing. Yu Dong was very annoyed, but he signed it for him, but added a sentence on it: study hard, don't worry.
I.
Fang Tao also laughed, but his smile was bitter. He always felt that President Qu did it on purpose.
How is this meant to comfort people? It's obviously just showing off, okay?
…
When Yu Dong returned to the dormitory, Bi Feiyu was walking out with his quilt in his arms, and his wife Fu Jing was following beside him, carrying a bundle of books.
"sister in law……"
Yu Dong was about to say hello, but Bi Feiyu stuffed the quilt into his arms: "Is everything okay now? Stretch your hands. It's evil. It happened to be that when I moved, neither of you could find anyone."
"Who told you not to tell me in advance?" Yu Dong pulled up the quilt and asked, "Uncle Zhou has a trolley there, why don't you borrow it?"
Bi Feiyu said unexpectedly: "Uncle Zhou, do you still have carts?"
"We have it a long time ago, including fire extinguishers, trolleys, ladders, and everything else. The trolley and ladder are right behind the reception room, and you didn't even know?"
"Not paying attention." Bi Feiyu shook his head.
Fu Jing rolled her eyes at Bi Feiyu and scolded: "I told you that your life is a blur, but you still don't believe it. Yu Dong didn't come a few days earlier than you, and the school situation is much more familiar to you than you are."
"Yes, he came a few days earlier than me, and he also developed a partner in school. Do I also want to study?" After Bi Feiyu said this, he took several steps forward and quickly fled the battlefield, "
Lao Yu, let’s go and borrow a trolley.”
"What about this quilt?"
"You can carry me here, it's not heavy."
Yu Dong didn't listen to him. He put the quilt in his room first, and then ran to borrow a cart from him. Fu Jing couldn't stand it and said, "Yu Dong, don't listen to him. Let him have a cart."
People just borrow it."
"That cart is hung on the wall. It's hard to handle it alone. If we go to borrow something, it's hard for the guard to help."
Yu Dong said with a smile and followed Bi Feiyu's footsteps.
When the two borrowed the cart and went back, Liu Changmin and Feng Ming also came back. Bi Feiyu made a bold move: "You're back just in time, help me move."
Liu Changmin and the others had just come back and were asked to do hard labor before they even got back to the house. Naturally, they were reluctant and cursed, but they still ran over to help.
The school apartment is not far from the single dormitory, and Bi Feiyu doesn't have many things, so a few people can get them all in one trip with a cart.
The apartment is in average condition, with two bedrooms, one living room and one kitchen, cement floors, and whitewashed walls.
However, compared to the single apartment, the conditions here are much better. What Liu Changmin and the others envy the most is that there is running water inside.
After moving to a new home, Bi Feiyu was very happy and said very generously: "If you want to improve the food in the future, just come over."
Fu Jing is also a cheerful person. She nodded and said: "What he said is what I want to say. He had to take care of you a lot before, and I am very grateful. In the future, you can come and sit down more often when you have nothing to do. You are welcome."
Everyone said a few polite words and said goodbye together. Bi Feiyu and his wife had just moved here and had nothing, so naturally it was difficult to start a fire, so they agreed to come over for dinner next weekend if they had time.
After coming out of the apartment, Liu Changmin has been worried.
Yu Dong and Feng Ming didn't ask, they both knew what Liu Changmin was thinking.
He came here many years earlier than Bi Feiyu, but he still lives in the single dormitory. The school's apartments are allocated first to those with two working hours, so he has never been in line.
Now that he saw Bi Feiyu moving in, he felt a little disappointed. This is human nature.
However, Yu Dong knew that this situation would not last long, and it would not be long before Liu Changmin would be allocated an apartment to live in. Jinyi will build new apartments in the next few years, and by then many teachers who meet the conditions will be able to get one.
…
After dinner in the evening, Yu Dong was about to sit down and conceive of a new book when Feng Ming and He Yu came over and took him to play cards.
"Lao Bi is gone, you have to take over." Feng Ming said.
"Yeah, how long has it been since you played cards with us?" He Yu said.
He Yu said this in a rather resentful tone, which gave Yu Dong goosebumps all over his body.
Unable to resist the two of them, Yu Dong could only follow them, "Okay, but we can only play for two hours at most. It's half past seven now, and it will end at half past nine at the latest."
"That's enough." Feng Ming said with a smile: "When did we not finish at ninety o'clock? Besides, tomorrow is Monday and everyone has classes. If you want to play late, why don't we accompany you?"
Yu Dong sat down and played with them for a while. It must be said that after a long period of hard practice, these players' poker skills are no longer at the level of rookies back then.
In addition, Yu Dong himself has been neglecting to practice, and he has gradually felt a little strenuous when playing with them.
After playing for less than half an hour, when the battle was getting fierce, Bi Feiyu crept in with his slippers on.
When they saw Bi Feiyu coming, everyone was surprised: "You just moved, why are you here now?"
Bi Feiyu smiled and said: "My arms are hurting after dragging for a long time. Fu Jing is cleaning up the kitchen. I'll come over and take a look."
"You are really lazy." Feng Ming teased.
"What are you talking about being lazy? You can't say that a person who has been procrastinating for a long time is lazy. This is very immoral, you know?"
With that said, Bi Feiyu stretched out his head to look at Yu Dong's cards again, "Are you tired? Let me help you for a while?"
When Yu Dong saw him like this, he knew that he was addicted to playing cards. During the two months of summer vacation, Liu Changmin and the others were away, and Bi Feiyu couldn't play cards, so he was already so anxious that he couldn't bear it.
After school started, they would get together almost every night, seemingly trying to catch up on the games they had missed in the previous two months.
"When it comes to playing cards, you are a very warm-hearted person and willing to help others." Yu Dong smiled and handed him the cards: "It just so happens that I have something else to do, so come on."
If Yu Dong wants to leave, it doesn't matter how many other people there are, as long as there are enough people to play cards.
Returning to his room, Yu Dong took out a pen and paper and prepared to conceive of a new book "Deep Space".
The main text of the book has not been written at all, and Yu Dong has been thinking about the blight these days.
The blight setting is from "Interstellar". Yu Dong wanted to use it, but he was worried that some readers wouldn't be able to accept it.
It's just that he thought for a long time and couldn't find a more reasonable setting that would put the earth in a situation where it was about to be destroyed, but many things could still operate normally.
Recently, he read a lot of biological and agricultural information and found that Fusarium wilt is still possible, but it requires many conditions and is very coincidental.
But if Fusarium wilt becomes a reality and some pathogen appears that destroys chlorophyll, photosynthesis will slowly stop as the plant dies...
Things slowly became complicated.
In the version of "Deep Space" written by Yu Dong before, the setting of Blight was directly applied without much explanation, because the book he wrote was based on "Interstellar" as a template, and the setting of Blight was already used.
The disease setting is treated as a well-known setting.
But now, there is no "Interstellar" in this world. If he wants to use this setting, he must write it in more detail so that readers can understand it.
Recently, there have been many scientific books in Yu Dong's house.
After graduating from high school, he had not been exposed to this kind of knowledge for a long time, and the knowledge he wanted to study now was much more advanced than what he had learned in high school.
He began to miss the Internet era. With the Internet, at least learning new knowledge would take a lot less effort. Many materials that cannot be found in the library can be found on the Internet.
It's just that the current conditions are like this, so he can only come step by step.
…
On Monday morning, Yu Dong received a call from Cheng Yongxing.
As soon as the call was connected, Cheng Yongxing complained to Yu Donghao.
"You tell me, if I don't call you, can't you take the initiative to call me? Your school is on vacation for the summer, I thought you would come to the club to have a look."
Yu Dong smiled and replied: "I have replied to Wang Yu before."
"Wang Yu is Wang Yu... I heard from Wang Yu that you have a novel that cannot be published in "Harvest" because it is too long. What is the situation now? Did you find it in "Contemporary"?"
"Well, I've already given it to "Contemporary" and said it would be out in November."
"Now that it's decided, that's good. Although we can't accept it this time because it's too long, if you have a long story in the future, you can show it to us and maybe we can publish it, right? At the worst, we can serialize it in a few more issues.
Since we can serialize two issues, we can also serialize four or five issues... If not, when the time comes, we will also open a long-form special account."
"Okay, I've written it down." Yu Dong smiled, and then asked: "Would you like to show the science fiction to you too?"
Yu Dong was just joking, but Cheng Yongxing actually said: "Science fiction is fine, and you won't suffer any loss if you try it."
"..."
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. There is an editor from "Shanghai Literature" who is going to Jinling for a business trip. He came to me and asked for your contact information. I will ask you what you mean and if you want to meet. Go.
You may have heard the name of the editor who is on business, Jin Yucheng, and he has published many articles in "Harvest"."
Yu Dong squinted his eyes, but he didn't expect that it was Jin Yucheng who came.
Jin Yucheng later became famous for "Prosperity", but now he is still relatively famous, and he frequently publishes novels in "Harvest".
Moreover, the novel "Bird in the Wind" previously published in "Shanghai Literature" also won the "Shanghai Literature" award.
Yu Dong thought for a while and said: "It's okay. If nothing else, since we are all fellow villagers, it is appropriate to meet each other."
Cheng Yongxing smiled and said: "Since you agree, I will give him your contact information later. I am worried that you will not agree. We are all brothers, so it is difficult to refuse."
"It's okay, just give it to him."
…
After hanging up the phone with Cheng Yongxing, about half an hour later, the phone rang again.
"Hello, are you Teacher Yu Dong?"
"Yes, I am Yu Dong, and you are teacher Jin Yucheng."
"Yes, I am Jin Yucheng. Editor-in-chief Cheng told you, I am going to Jinling in the next two days. I hope to visit you. I don't know if it is convenient."
"It's convenient. Just tell me the specific time before you come. By the way, do you want me to pick you up?"
"No, no, I still have some tasks assigned by the society. I have to finish them first before I can go over. I am going over this time. I mainly want to meet you, Teacher Yu, and I also have a hard time going to Jinling. So.
I just went to Chief Editor Cheng to ask for his phone number..."
Yu Dong didn't expect that Jin Yucheng was quite nagging. He would talk endlessly, and listening to him talk was like listening to the chats of the uncles and aunts in the alley. What he said was very broken.
He spoke very slowly and not loudly.
If Cheng Yongxing talks like a barrage of firecrackers, then Jin Yucheng talks like a repeating pistol with a silencer, beeping endlessly.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Dong felt that his head and ears were a little dazed. Although Jin Yucheng didn't speak fast, his rhythm was constant, making it difficult for him to get a word in.
This is still a phone call. Jin Yucheng has to consider the phone bill. If it is a face-to-face chat... Yu Dong really can't imagine the scene then.
Chapter completed!
