Chapter 96(1/2)
Cheng Rushan drove home directly.
Four years ago, they moved to a new unit building designed by Jiang Lin and others.
As the backbone of the troupe, Wensheng was divided into a two-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and bathroom. He and Yan Runzhi and Cheng Yunzhi lived there.
Cheng Rushan and Jiang Lin divided a three-bedroom apartment, and for work needs, the unit even installed a telephone number. Last year, they bought a black and white TV and refrigerator, all of which were placed in the old man's house.
Two houses are adjacent to the same floor, which is very convenient.
The two went upstairs and greeted Yan Runzhi first. She and a few old ladies watched the newly broadcast of "Dream of Red Mansions" at home.
When I first bought a TV, the most popular "Journey to the West" began to be popular all over the country in May this year. The old ladies who originally gathered to watch children are now watching Dream of the Red Chamber.
"Oh, this girl is so handsome. Look at Sister Lin Meimeibao, they are all so handsome. If it were me, I wouldn't know how to choose."
Yan Runzhi: "You have to watch the plot, why do you only watch the actors?"
"If you want to listen to the opera, listen to storytelling and I listen to the plot. Don't you just watch actors when watching TV? Look, you're so handsome!"
Seeing Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan come back, an old lady whispered: "It would be great if they were asked to shoot TV movies."
Cheng Rushan poured water for Jiang Lin, while Jiang Lin went over to say hello to the old ladies.
Yan Runzhi: "Baoer Mother, are you full? Why don't you give me a bowl of noodles?" He said he was going to a banquet, but in fact he couldn't eat enough at all.
Jiang Lin said, "Mom, you guys see, I'm full." She asked Yan Runzhi and the others to just watch TV, and she and Cheng Rushan went back to their house. When the seasons changed in early summer, she was really sleepy. She took advantage of the time to sleep before supper and then work after supper.
Cheng Rushan helped her close the window, sat by the bed and accompanied her, and waited for her to fall asleep, and then went to work. Now, except for eating and sleeping, or when she needs to accompany her family in special circumstances, he basically works at other times.
When Jiang Lin woke up, it was already dark outside, and the excitement of her family members came from next door.
Jiang Lin sat up and leaned against the bed. After listening for a while, it turned out that Dabao's book had been published again.
Since junior high school, the difference between Dabao and Xiaobao has become more and more obvious. Dabao is more focused on science, more rational, paying attention to logic, text, analysis, etc. Xiaobao is more focused on liberal arts, more emotional, paying attention to pictures, imagination, and full of passion.
Later, Dabao liked to write about science fiction, suspense, reasoning, horror, military and other subjects. Fang Chengguang and his friends from the Public Security Bureau were professional consultants. His suspense and criminal investigation novels were written very maturely, not like teenagers' works at all. Xiaobao liked adventure, magic, fairy tale, legend, etc., with a rich imagination, wild imagination, but extremely attractive, especially the stories of passionate teenagers have become popular all over the country.
The two have very prominent personal styles. One pseudonym will drive obsessive-compulsive readers, so they now have new pseudonyms.
Dabao's name is Jiang Sheng, and Xiaobao's name is Lin Sheng. Both of these names were chosen by Xiaobao. Dabao refused to use it at first, but in the end he obeyed the pseudonym.
Now Dabao is publishing the second volume of the series "Fighting Battle", which is written almost a year.
Xiaobao published the second volume of "Young Heroes", which is also one volume a year.
Over the years, the two guys have become accustomed to doing everything in the same way. If you publish one, I will also publish one. If you are ranked first in the physics competition, I will be ranked first in the chemistry competition.
They were competing secretly in this way, which resulted in both of them being the first and second. The three and four students behind were left with a huge distance, leaving a shadow.
Because as long as they are there, others will not want to win first, a nightmare existence.
As a result, the two got the nickname "No. 1 Brother", but the students now like to express themselves in English and think it is more alternative.
Jiang Lin stayed in bed for a while and then got up.
Yan Runzhi and Cheng Yunzhi were cooking, and Wensheng was applying shoe polish to all the leather shoes at home. He liked to see what was polished. He was serious and focused on everything he did, as if only this thing was left in the world.
Since three years ago, Wen Sheng has also changed, just as if he really grew up, he has become quieter and more stable. But those eyes are as clean as ever.
Jiang Lin wiped the shoe polish on his face with a hand towel and sat down to do it with him. Wensheng smiled and said, "Mom, don't do it, it's my turn today." He and Dabao and Xiaobao took turns. He wiped the most carefully, unlike polishing leather shoes, but like wiping something invisible.
Baosheng and his two brothers asked for writing questions and asked them to see the beginning of her writing.
Baosheng is 9 years old and is in the second semester of the second grade. He loves dancing and learns to play the piano with Wensheng. He likes writing like his two brothers.
Although she lives a happy life, she has a very strong empathy and can empathize with other people's experiences.
The story she is preparing to contribute is called "Xiaozhi's Fantasy Journey".
Dabao leaned on the desk. The 17-year-old boy is over 180 years old. He is slender and tall, has fair skin, and is clean and elegant.
He looked down at the manuscript in his hand and raised his eyes to his sister, "Baosheng, there must be logic in writing stories. Who is Xiaozhi, why is she here, what she wants, what she did, and what she did, what she ends up in the end, all these need to be presented. We must let us know who Xiaozhi is, and we cannot show a little girl out of thin air."
Xiaobao walked over and squeezed lazily beside him, glanced at him and saw clearly. He smiled and said, "It's nothing wrong. The story of the child only requires happiness. Isn't it enough to let Xiaozhi enter that magical world and write about her experience and her own growth? My Baosheng's writing is getting better and better." He smiled at Baosheng, put it on her shoulder and shook it, "Baosheng, it's great to write about yourself."
Xiaobao praises his sister every day for being different and has no shortcomings.
Dabao glanced at him helplessly, but insisted, "The unlogical fantasy ideas can only be fragments and cannot be good stories."
Xiaobao said his story many people like, "I never deliberately check the logic, it comes with inspiration. My Baosheng is like me, a story-writing like me, hehe." He blinked at Baosheng, and Baosheng also hehe.
Dabao moved aside and let Baosheng lean between the two of them, giving her the connection between the plot.
He refuted Xiaobao, "You think you don't pay attention to logic, because logic is already your instinct, hidden in your story. You think you write this way just to make it look good. In fact, it looks good because they follow logic and capture the readers' attention. Don't refuse to admit it, that's it."
Xiaobao: "No! Baosheng, we don't listen to him." He hates the kind of person who thinks about each plot step by step and then uses the logical relationship between the front and back. In that way, he will lose passion!
Baosheng suddenly had big black eyes. The 9-year-old girl was as beautiful as a pinched girl. She was flawless, but she had more aura than porcelain dolls.
She smiled and said, "Brother Xiaobao, you are wrong. Let's ask your mother."
When she saw Jiang Lin coming, she immediately ran over and took Jiang Lin's hand and asked Jiang Lin to decide who is right and who is wrong.
The author hid those traces, not deliberately, but interacted with each other. If it was an illogical work, it would definitely not be comfortable to read. Without that kind of fluency, there would naturally be no resonance. My parents read Xiaobao’s story, but they both have a strong sense of logic, but they would not emphasize it specifically.”
This is his talent, he doesn't need to pay attention to it. His language instinct allows him to do everything well. This is the benefit of laying a solid foundation when he was a child.
Dabao glanced at Xiaobao and said, "Okay, don't mislead Baomei." Some people can't tell you what they can. Not all athletes can be coaches, and not all top students are suitable for teachers.
Baosheng lay in Jiang Lin's arms and giggled. She said to Jiang Lin with her ears: "Mom, let me tell you a secret. Actually, my brother Xiaobao is the most loyal reader of Brother Dabao, and the same is true for Brother Dabao. I saw Brother Xiaobao secretly took Brother Dabao's book to read, and then went home after reading it. Hehe."
The two of them fought each other, but they also supported each other. They were never as hostile as other brothers, so their families didn't interfere. They would fight and fight. Anyway, Xiaobao could not beat Dabao, and Dabao wouldn't really beat him.
Although Xiaobao was not convinced, his mother obviously agreed with Dabao here, so he would not argue with Dabao anymore.
Dabao continued to tell Baosheng.
According to what he told, Baosheng explained his story to them again.
Xiaozhi is a 7-year-old girl who originally lived a happy life like a little princess in the farm. One day, the moon turned red and monsters appeared. They ate their parents and brothers and all the villagers, and finally captured her and locked her up in a dark, wet and cold little house.
Xiaozhi was cold and hungry, and missed her family. A monster urged her to hang herself and wanted to eat her soul.
Just when Xiaozhi couldn't hold on, an older brother named Xiaohe saved her, put on her cotton jacket, told her stories one by one and survived the cold night. When the sun rose, her smile became sweet and beautiful, she sang while working, and threw all the bad things behind her.
The monsters couldn't see them so happy, so they tortured them in a different way.
They fought wits and courage with the monsters. Later, Xiaohe was locked up by the monsters in order to protect her. Xiaozhi accidentally discovered a secret passage from which she could enter another magical world.
That world is full of all kinds of unexpected magical animals and plants, and of course it is also full of thrilling and stimulation.
She met all kinds of monsters and made all kinds of friends. They said that only by defeating the big monsters can one get the real stone of wishes and leave here.
Xiaozhi wants to get the stone and go back to save Brother Xiaohe!
Baosheng said happily: "Now I understand it all at once. Logic is the basis of the article and the framework of building a house. Those wonderful ideas are flesh and blood, and the beautiful decoration of the house. No one likes the house with only steel, gray bricks and cement. But without them, those beautiful glass, glazed, and painted have no place to rely on, right?"
Xiaobao praised her eyes, "I, Baosheng, are so smart. Being your brother is proud and stressful."
Baosheng laughed and said, "Because I have a very outstanding brother, my classmates can admire you. I want to follow you."
Cheng Yunzhi picked up two sample books to read, and said, "How expensive is Dabao's books than Xiaobao's?"
Dabao immediately said: "Grandpa, he has many books and magazines printed on it." Different subjects and different audiences.
Baosheng said excitedly: "I want to write it quickly and print out my story as soon as possible."
Xiaobao: "I wrote it and I will help you polish it. I will take it to Lin Fa first."
Dabao: "It's better to send it to the Young Pioneers' Pictorials first."
Xiaobao: "Brother, are you really not wrong? That newspaper is... I have never read it before."
The Young Pioneers Pictorial or Young Pioneers newspaper is a mission newspaper that is purely for some people to make money. It is required to subscribe. If you are not forced, how many copies can he sell?
Dabao: "If Baomei's story can save this newspaper, isn't it better than going to Storylin?"
Baosheng: "I'd better write it first. Don't argue, I'll have knots whenever I quarrel."
The two brothers who were originally tit-for-tat and immediately shut up and offered help to Baosheng with soft words. As long as the sister is unhappy, no matter how much she wants to refute, the two brothers will shut up and then change the battlefield to solve the problem.
Baosheng smiled and said, "No, I already understand, I want to write it myself. I won't ask, you are not allowed to express your opinions."
She is a girl, with her characteristics, and her writing is more delicate, and with the cuteness and innocence of the child, she can touch people's heartstrings. Even the coldest and hardest heart can ripple.
Wen Sheng came over and smiled at the two brothers and said, "Don't fight, you two have shortcomings, and you have strengths, and you should complement each other."
Xiaobao laughed and threw himself on Wensheng, "Teacher Xie Wen teaches."
...
A few days later, Jiang Lin and his team finally finished their meeting and came up with the final design plan.
The meeting group adopted several suggestions from Jiang Lin.
Protect ancient buildings, ancient trees, ancient bridges, etc. in the city because they carry the historical accumulation of the city and are a witness to the years.
If there were no them, many years later, cities were full of tall buildings and reinforced concrete, and there was no difference between the whole country. What's the point?
In addition, the road planning is in place at one time, with wide, straight, flat and scientific green belts. The green belt has great significance and the lane width can be adjusted according to the times. For example, now there are many pedestrians and few cars, and a very wide sidewalk can be left. Different locations have different designs according to the situation, and consider the long-term as much as possible.
The third suggests that the sewer needs to be wide and deep enough, and can be used as a secret passage, not just a pipe. Pipeline quality problems are prone to blockage, leakage, and cracking. Even decades later, the sewer manhole covers that are covered with the ground in major cities will still inevitably be dug and repaired from time to time.
After the meeting, President Chen organized a celebration banquet. He specially greeted Jiang Lin, "You must invite Director Cheng to enjoy his face."
