Chapter 641 642 [Mr. Bai, I want to write a book for you]
In the courtyard, Shui Hua whispered to Mai Miao.
In the room, Xiang Nan also had a good chat with Mr. Bai.
After entering the house, Xiang Nan first complimented Teacher Bai on giving up returning to the city, taking root in mountain village education, and the spirit of selfless dedication,
Then I talked to him about the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room, which were all written and drawn by Teacher Bai himself.
To be honest, compared with famous artists, it is not a little worse, at most it can be regarded as the level of calligraphy and painting lovers. But in Yongquan Village and even Haiji County, it is already considered pretty good.
"Teacher Bai, your drawing is not bad, the leaves are very resembling~" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The writing is also good, with Xu Wei's background~"
Teacher Bai was taken aback when he heard that, "You know Xu Wei?!"
People in the mountains may occasionally hear stories and know that there is a talented man named Xu Wenchang. But there are very few people who know his name Xu Wei.
Not to mention from his writing, it can be seen that he has seen Xu Wei's post, and he is not an ordinary person.
"When I was in junior high school, my Chinese teacher liked to write. I heard some explanations from him." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Xu Wei's calligraphy is unrestrained and unrestrained. I see that Teacher Bai's calligraphy also has this meaning, so I am bold. Take a guess."
"Oh, it's amazing, it's amazing." Teacher Bai said excitedly.
He has lived in Yongquan Village for more than ten years. The vast majority of the people in the village are old men with little education and can't read a few big characters. Therefore, he wanted to talk about calligraphy and painting with them, basically playing the piano with cows. Now I finally have a bosom friend.
…
Just as the two of them were chatting happily, Shui Hua walked in with Mai Miao.
"Shuihua, you married a good man. Yongfu, good!" Teacher Bai smiled at her.
"I know." Li Shuihua nodded with a smile.
"Dad, Brother Yongfu wrote an article and sold it for more than 1,700 yuan." Mai Miao also said enviously.
"What?!" Teacher Bai was equally astonished when he heard it.
Writing articles is already good enough, and it sold for more than 1,000 yuan, which is really amazing.
Not to mention Gangou Township, Haiji County may not find a few such talents.
"Shuihua, is this real?" Teacher Bai looked at Shuihua and said.
Shui Hua nodded with a smile.
"Oh, Yongfu, how are you!" Teacher Bai was immediately in awe of Xiang Nan, and he was extremely admirable.
"It's all inspired by the water splash." Xiang Nan smiled, "Mr. Bai, I think your story is also very meaningful. I want to write it into a novel, are you willing?"
"Is there anything to write about?" Teacher Bai said shyly.
"Yes, very much! You gave up the opportunity to return to the city for the sake of the children in the mountains, and you have taught in this poor valley for more than ten years. You are happy in poverty, willing to give, and I think it is worthy of praise." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Not good, not good, there are many mountain village teachers in Xihaigu who are the same as Er, and Er is not the best." Teacher Bai said humbly again and again.
Xiang Nan smiled, "Teacher Bai, that's it."
…
After returning home from Yongquan Village, Xiang Nan began to think about writing Teacher Bai's deeds into a novel.
He conceived for two days before starting to write.
At the same time, the news about "Ann and Young Fu wrote an article and sold it for more than 1,700 yuan" also spread throughout the ten miles and eight villages in the past two days like a bird with wings. .
For a while, everyone admired, everyone admired!
The members of Ernst & Young Fu's family and Li Laoshuan's family all went out with their heads held high and their chests held high, without even looking at the words.
The son (son-in-law) is promising, and he is a powerful man. If the article can be sold for money, isn't that the Wenqu star descending to earth.
They are a family, naturally and proudly!
…
Shuihua originally wanted to work in the fields, so he was asked to stay at home.
"Let's not plant that land anymore, return it to the family." Xiang Nan persuaded her, "Farming the land is tiring and does not make money. It also exhausted the body and tanned the face. From now on, our family will rely on I just write articles and make money.”
"Then I don't work, what do I do at home?" Shuihua wondered, "Just lie on the kang every day and act like a grandma?"
"Didn't I buy a lot of books, just read them." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Increase some knowledge and broaden your knowledge."
Shuihua thought for a while, then nodded.
She doesn't know much, and she doesn't know much, so she should read more books.
…
Half a month later, "Monument" was finally completed. With a total of 134,000 words, it can be regarded as a novel.
The novel takes Teacher Bai as the prototype, and creates the image of a teacher who takes root in the mountain village and is selfless and dedicated.
After finishing writing, Xiang Nan showed it to Teacher Bai.
"You wrote the forehead too well, how can the forehead be so great." Teacher Bai felt embarrassed after reading it.
"Brother Yongfu, your article is really well written." After reading this article, Mai Miao couldn't help admiring, "But, I always feel that your writing is not like my dad."
"The prototype of the story is Mr. Bai, but I added some artistic processing." Xiang Nan explained, "Actually, Mai Miao, your father is really great.
How many people are eager to get out of the valley, but your father is willing to stay and teach elementary school for the sake of the children in the village. What a great dedication. There are few people who can do it. "
He knew that Mai Miao had been blaming her father for buying a charcoal stove, which suffocated her mother to death, so there was always a lump in her heart.
Hearing what he said, Mai Miao was thoughtful.
Teacher Bai was also very excited when he saw Xiang Nan's praise.
"Teacher Bai, I think you are such a great person." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you want any other opinions, I will send them out."
Subsequently, he sent this article to "October" magazine.
This magazine is one of the four major inland literature journals along with Harvest, Contemporary, and People's Literature. Among them, "Contemporary", "October", and "People's Literature" are all realistic, but they are different from each other.
The writing style of "October" is more down-to-earth, while "Contemporary" and "People's Literature" are more sunny and snowy. As for "Harvest", it is the frontier of avant-garde literature, mainly publishing experimental literary works, which is not very suitable for Xiang Nan's style of writing.
…
During the past half a month, Shuihua was reading at home.
She has a mixed taste in reading, and she likes to read classics, world masterpieces, and martial arts novels.
I especially like to read practical books on agricultural technology and fruit tree cultivation.
During this period, Mai Miao also came twice and borrowed some books to go home and read.
She is the same as Xiang Nan's previous heart disease. It is because she is too poor in spirit that she is so eager for books.
In addition, the sample issue of "Story Club" has also been sent.
On the day the sample publication arrived, An Zhishu discussed with Xiang Nan and wanted to offer the book to the ancestral hall.
"Our Kushui Village has not produced a single scholar for hundreds of years. Now that Yong Fu'er's article has been published in such a large publication, it is a glorious thing. This must be known to the ancestors." Zhishu An said .
Although Xiang Nan thought it was a bit funny to offer this "Story Club" to the ancestral hall, he could understand the feelings of the old branch secretary.
For so many years, Kushui Village has not produced capable people, and now one has finally emerged. Although it is nothing in the whole country, it is already considered remarkable in Gangou Township.
"Okay, branch secretary, let it go." Xiang Nan donated "Story Club".
It's a pity that he hasn't opened the package yet, and hasn't seen the effect of his article being printed in lead type.
