1987 My Era

Chapter 144, Li Heng Becomes a God (Please subscribe!)

Entering the waiting room, Li Heng's scalp suddenly went numb. Oh my god! There were too many people. Shao City was one of the top 20 cities in the country in terms of urban population. It was also the beginning of the school year, and the people waiting for the bus were crowded together like a herd of wildebeests.

It is now the end of August and the weather is hot and humid. As soon as you pass the waiting room door, a complex and unpleasant smell hits your nose, mixed with sweat, foot odor, body odor, and the smell of diarrhea from babies, all kinds of shouting and even the crying of naughty children who were beaten. It's really overpowering.

"Hey, Li Heng, why are you here just now? We have half an hour left before we have to check our tickets and get on the bus. I thought the bus you were on broke down on the way, and I was so worried."

Li Heng was pushed and squeezed in by the people behind him. Before he could even stand firmly on his feet, Sun Manning dropped from the sky like a ghost and appeared in front of him.

There are also ears of wheat next to it.

The girl Mai Sui dressed up specially today, wearing a red top with a waist, khaki pencil-shaped casual pants, and a beautiful hairpin. At first glance, she looks very fashionable.

At first glance, she is 168cm tall, charming but not ominous, and has unparalleled allure. She truly embodies the charm that emanates from her bones.

Is this the woman with natural charm?
It's amazing, a change in two months, really different. As she becomes more mature with age, who knows how many men will be conquered by her in the future, Li Heng exclaimed with emotion.

"Ah! What is Li Heng looking at? Is there only wheat ears in his eyes and not me?" Seeing Li Heng looking at wheat ears, Sun Manning immediately smiled and tried to join in the fun.

"No, I'm just admiring how fashionable Comrade Mai Sui is. I've never dressed like this before." Li Heng was just appreciating her beauty, looking at her openly without any concealment.

Sun Manning pulled the wheat ear over and walked around it. "Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it eye-catching? I was envious of it just now."

Li Heng nodded: "Indeed, our Fudan male compatriots are in for a treat."

Mai Sui felt a little embarrassed by what the two said, so she smiled tenderly and explained:

"Mom said Shanghai is a big place and school has started, so she asked me to dress up a little. We know each other so well, so you two should stop flattering me."

Sun Manning made a playful face, "You don't know, when I first entered the waiting station, many people stared at me with their eyes wide open, and I even saw a man swallowing his saliva."

Zhang Zhiyong couldn't help but swear, "Fuck! You even noticed me swallowing my saliva? I usually swallow secretly when I see a beautiful woman."

Look at the bullshit, the four of them started laughing.

Li Heng picked up the luggage bag and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Sun Manning checked the time: "It's been a while, about 20 minutes."

As she spoke, she helped Li Heng share a piece of luggage and led the way: "Come with me, my dad has connections here, don't squeeze in here, there are too many people, and the air stinks."

Mai Sui said to Zhang Zhiyong, who was carrying a lot of bags, "Zhang Zhiyong, give me the bag in your right hand."

"Ah! I can also enjoy this treatment." Quxinyan was flattered. In the past, he had no status in the small circle, and everyone revolved around his brother, Uncle Heng. Today was the first time in his life, and it felt like a dream.

Mai Sui smiled, bent down to take his bag, and followed the two people in front.

As the principal of a middle school, the Sun family does have connections in this small town. Not only can they avoid the crowded waiting room when waiting for the train, but all the train tickets are for sleeper berths.

Even if it is a hard sleeper, it is not easy to connect them together.

In an office, Li Heng met Sun Manning's mother, who was chatting with Mai Sui's parents who were traveling with them.

Seeing the four people coming back, the three elders stopped talking and focused all their attention on Li Heng and Zhang Zhiyong.

Li Heng put down his luggage and greeted everyone, calling out to uncles and aunts along the way.

Zhang Zhiyong hurriedly followed suit and shouted.

"You are Li Heng, right? I heard Sui Sui mention you. You missed Peking University by one point, which is a pity. But it's not bad for you to go to Fudan University. Peking University is affiliated with Fudan University, and Fudan is also good. You will have a companion studying there, and you won't be so lonely in away places." Maybe because of Li Heng's handsome appearance, Mai Sui's mother couldn't help but look at him several more times.

"Yeah, Auntie is right." Li Heng responded.

After chatting with Li Heng for a while, the three elders felt that Zhang Zhiyong was being neglected, so they turned the topic to him, asking questions like "which university are you from?", etc. This made the lack of confidence and the naive person even more difficult to start talking. Later, Sun Manning and Mai Sui helped to smooth things over.

After talking for a while, the four of them became familiar with each other. Li Heng finally had time to ask Sun Manning:
"Isn't the English teacher at school? No one answered the phone?"

Sun Manning replied: "Yes, she still had lunch at our house at noon, but No. 1 Middle School had a meeting for all teachers and students in the afternoon. You see, my father didn't come to see me off because he couldn't leave and didn't have time."

It turns out he was attending a meeting, no wonder.

As they were chatting, it was time to check in, so everyone hurriedly packed their luggage, checked their tickets and got on the bus.

When they got to the platform, Li Heng and the others were in despair again. There were so many people. The train was just about to stop, and the doors hadn't even opened yet, but the crowd rushed in all at once. In an instant, the fat people were squeezed into thin people, and the thin people were squeezed into sticks.

It is said that this is how wars were fought in medieval Europe. The people at the back didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and the people in the front couldn't retreat even if they wanted to run. They were all stabbed to death on spears, and the skewers on them looked like barbecue, which was particularly tragic.

Of course, a tall man like Li Heng would naturally be the one holding the spear. He used his hands to push away an old man who was crowding around him, knocked away a young man, and pried open an unknown woman who came from nowhere and was hugging his waist.

Grandma’s legs!

Only Chen Zijin and the English teacher have hugged my waist. How can you hug it? Get out of here! Get out of here! Don't take advantage of me.

With someone clearing the way in front, Sun Manning and her daughter followed closely behind and enjoyed a wave of benefits.

Mai Sui's father was afraid of losing his daughter, so he held her with his right hand and pushed his wife with his left hand to squeeze in.

Zhang Zhiyong, who was at the back, was in trouble. He kept yelling and cursing all the way: "Who the f*ck touched my butt! Who the f*ck touched my gun!"

Immediately, one of the women shouted back angrily: "Put away your matchsticks. What are you rushing towards, you idiot!"

"Get out! Get out! You female hooligan, do you think I'm capable of that?" Zhang Zhiyong has always been a man who refuses to give in. Even when he was surrounded by a group of people, he was still shouting.

"Go down! Pull him down!" The sister-in-law stretched out her hand and pushed Quexinyan.

His accomplices all stretched out their hands, some pulled, some pushed, and Zhang Zhiyong, who had already entered the car, was instantly kicked out in a staggering manner.

Zhang Zhiyong struggled hard, and heard a "puff" sound behind him. His shirt was torn, leaving a big hole from shoulder to butt. He was so angry that he grabbed the woman's head and slammed it against the train. This was all a trick of beating the master with random punches. This is what we did in junior high school. We caught the culprit and beat him to death.

Just like that, the platform immediately became a mess, with cries of grief and shouts for help filling the entire space.

Seeing Lao Yong being beaten up, Li Heng in the front got angry. Regardless of whether they were right or wrong, he turned around and kicked the two men with a long kick, knocking them down in an instant, then pulled up Quxinyan and ran away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mai Sui's father, who was tall and strong, also rushed over to help. He blocked the door and displayed his heroic spirit of one man blocking a thousand, and struggled to kick the group of people away one by one.

Later, a conductor came with a sharp iron whistle in his mouth. Li Heng and his party finally got rid of the chaos, found the sleeper car and relaxed.

After entering the sleeper compartment, Mai Sui turned around and asked Li Heng with concern:
"Li Heng, are you okay?"

Li Heng checked himself and said, "I'm fine. I just got kicked in the calf."

Then everyone started to ask Duxinyan all sorts of questions. Duxinyan was kicked a lot, but he was still alive and kicking. He smiled happily and said to Mai Sui's father:

"Uncle, thank you for your help. I will treat you to a big dinner in Shanghai."

Shaodong products were very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, and were even sold well in Russia and the entire Eastern Europe. Mai Sui's father was one of the earliest businessmen in Shaodong, and he had more money in his pocket than Li Heng, so why would he care about this so-called feast? He smiled and said:
"It's just a small matter. When you go out, you should always seek warmth in a group."

After the train started, everyone stopped talking about the dirty things that had just happened and started talking about the final destination of this trip, Shanghai.

It was obvious that even Mai Sui's father, who had seen the world, had high expectations for the trip to Shanghai.

This is a slow train, commonly known as a kowtow train, and it stops at many small stations. There is no other way. If it were a fast train, Li Heng and Zhang Zhiyong would not be able to make it from home.

However, even though it was a sleeper and there was a ceiling fan above my head, it was still very hot. Waves of heat came in from the window, like being in a sauna.

But in this terrible environment, everyone was still feeling sleepy while chatting, and slowly fell asleep. They would not arrive in Shanghai until the morning after tomorrow, and Li Heng could not hold on any longer, so he lay down on the bunk and closed his eyes in a daze.

But he was a vigilant man and never dared to sleep too deeply when he went out. Look, he woke up again within two hours.

Mai Sui on the opposite bunk seemed to have woken up as well. His eyes met, and he dodged several times, feeling a little uncomfortable.

After a quick glance, Li Heng immediately realized what was wrong with this girl.

Because the car was too stuffy, Mai Sui's whole body was covered with a layer of fine sweat. At first it was okay and nothing was wrong, but the water accumulated so much that after more than 10 hours, her clothes were all soaked with sweat. In addition, she was wearing a corset top and she had a perfectly developed figure. Her plump outline was vaguely visible for a moment, making her, who was already extremely charming, even more seductive and aggressive!
Fortunately, it was a red top, which was darker in color. If it was a white top, wow! I really can’t imagine what the scenery inside would be like.
Even though Li Heng had seen stunning beauties before and had a wide range of knowledge, he still couldn't look directly at her. He was afraid that she would misunderstand him, and he was also afraid that his vice president would be fooled by accident.

Looking at her parents and then at the others, who all seemed to be asleep, Mai Sui hesitated for a moment, got out of bed, found a clean piece of clothing from her bag, and whispered to Li Heng, "Accompany me to the bathroom."

"okay."

That's good. It's good that you have a clear understanding of your own charm. Li Heng was really worried that this girl would rush over alone. It would be terrible if she aroused covetousness.

Maybe it was because it was late at night, I was lucky and the bathroom was empty and no one was there.

Mai Sui looked back at him, then walked in with some confusion and closed the door.

Li Heng was standing in the aisle, looking through the car window to try to see the scenery outside. Unfortunately, it was too dark. He couldn't see anything and didn't know where he was now.

After a while, the bathroom door opened, and a girl came out in a light pink dress with wheat ears. On her chest was a cartoon picture of Sheriff Black Cat, embroidered with two rabbits on the mountain. It was really charming.

Walking in a small side aisle, Mai Sui suddenly asked, "Li Heng, are you sleepy?"

Li Heng replied: "I'm fine. I just had a nap and I'm not that sleepy. How about you?"

"I can't sleep." When Mai Sui came outside his own carriage, he did not go to the berth. Instead, he pulled out a small stool and sat down.

Seeing her like this, Li Heng gave up the idea of ​​returning to his bunk, pulled out another small stool, and sat down in the aisle with her.

Mai Sui smiled and said, "Thank you."

Li Heng waved his hand: "No, I can't sleep either. It's good to sit here. There's a little breeze outside the window. It's cooler than lying down."

The two looked at each other, and Mai Sui asked, "Where did you go after leaving the capital?"

Li Heng asked back: "You don't know anything at all?"

Mai Sui blinked: "I know you went to Gansu and visited Dongting Lake in August."

Li Heng asked: "Song Yu told you, right?"

Mai Sui said: "I called her before school started. I wanted to get together with her, but she was in Changshi and didn't come back. It was a pity."

Seeing her looking at him curiously, Li Heng thought for a moment and told her his summer vacation schedule.

After listening, Mai Sui asked: "You went to so many places, are you writing a new novel?"

Li Heng gave a thumbs up and said, "Comrade Mai Sui is really good. He guessed it right the first time."

Mai Sui smiled softly and said, "Don't praise me. You are a great writer. You traveled to so many places in one go during the summer vacation. It must not be for simple sightseeing."

Then she carefully observed everyone in the carriage, and when she saw that everyone was still asleep, she lowered her voice and asked, "What is the name of the new book?"

Li Heng scanned the scene and said, "Cultural Journey."

When it comes to the new book, Mai Sui was afraid of leaking the news, so she didn't ask any more questions. Little did she know that Mai Sui's father Mai Dong quietly opened his eyes a little, looked at his daughter, looked at Li Heng, and then closed his eyes again, but secretly pricked up his ears.

Don't you think about it? As a businessman who has traveled all over the country for many years, when he is away from home, especially when his wife and daughter are around, for the sake of his wife and daughter's safety, how could Maidong really fall asleep?
He had been dozing off, so he heard everything clearly, like the conversation between his daughter and Li Heng when she asked him to go to the bathroom.

Mai Sui asked, "You've traveled across most of China, so you must have suffered a lot on the way, right?"

Li Heng said: "It must have been hard work. The desert in the northwest, the mountainous roads in the southwest, the waterways of the Three Gorges and Dongting Lake, and the food in the southeast, oh, don't even mention it. I couldn't adapt to it and had to control myself all the way. I lost another 5 kilograms of weight that I had put on in the second semester of my senior year. When I got home, my mother was so distressed to see me like that."

Mai Sui looked at him carefully for a while and nodded: "Indeed, you are thinner than before the college entrance examination, but your eyes are more energetic and your temperament is more elegant. You will definitely be very popular in college."

Speaking of recruiting, Li Heng instantly thought of Xiao Han who left without even saying hello, and he immediately lost his temper.

Noticing his mood change, Mai Sui asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried about losing weight, or are you worried about Xiao Han and Song Yu?"

"Ah?" Li Heng raised his head.

Mai Sui smiled slyly and said, "You didn't go to school with Xiao Han. To be honest, I'm quite surprised."

Li Heng pondered for a while and asked, "Guess?"

Mai Sui nodded and shook his head: "I didn't think about it in this way before, but now that I know about your relationship with Xiao Han, many details can't stand up to scrutiny."

How clever! As perceptive as Song Yu, he simply summarized a few key pieces of information and figured out the unclear relationship between him and Xiao Han.

Li Heng neither admitted nor denied it.

He didn't admit it, because the girl in front of him was definitely on Song Yu's side, and the two women had a very good relationship.

He didn't deny that he didn't want to insult anyone's intelligence.

Seeing that Li Heng fell silent, Mai Sui changed the subject again and asked, "Is your father feeling better?"

Li Heng said: "After applying the plaster, I feel better and am currently receiving continued treatment."

Mai Sui asked: "Do we still need to go to the capital?"

"Ah."

Li Heng hummed and said, "It's a matter of life and death, I have to go."

Mai Sui opened his lips. He didn't expect that Li Heng's father's illness would be so serious. Then he secretly felt sorry for Song Yu. If they went to the capital, Chen Zijin would definitely get a lot of points.

The two chatted all the way, and the journey seemed to go by a lot faster. By the time they passed Gan Province, it was already dawn, and the others had woken up one after another. The two went back to their beds and took a nap.

With someone guarding him and feeling very sleepy, Li Heng slept very deeply. When he opened his eyes again, the train had just left Hangzhou Station.

Compared to before going to bed, there were two unfamiliar faces, one old and one young, in the aisle of the carriage. They seemed to be from the sleeper car next door.

At this time, the old face was holding a freshly published "Harvest" magazine, leaning against the wall of the train, reading with relish.

Once, the new face took out two peeled boiled eggs, handed them to the old face and said:

"Old Principal, use this to fill your stomach. The dinner in the car will take some time to come out."

The old principal was unmoved and said in a deep voice: "You are not hungry yet, eat by yourself."

The new face peeked at the Harvest magazine and couldn't help saying, "Is this Cultural Journey so good? You missed your lunch because of it. Why don't you eat something now or your old stomach problems will be triggered."

The old principal looked straight ahead and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't make any noise, you're almost done."

It is said that after Editor-in-Chief Liao returned to Shanghai in high spirits on August 8, he immediately went to Mr. Ba's house and presented the manuscript of this trip to him.

After reading it, Mr. Ba was speechless for a long time. He touched the manuscript lovingly and asked only one question: "When will the remaining 35 articles be completed?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao said: "Li Heng said that he would continue writing until November and finish it in November."

Mr. Ba lowered his head and continued to fumble with the manuscript without saying a word.

Editor-in-Chief Liao added: "I think Li Heng is well prepared this time and is very confident that nothing will go wrong."

After hearing this, Mr. Ba put the manuscript on the desk and said with emotion: "Every generation has its own talented people. I was right about him.

Li Heng is a man of great talent. He should go back and adjust the schedule to release "Cultural Journey". "

Originally, the August issue of "Harvest" magazine was already fully booked, but because of this sentence, Editor-in-Chief Liao withdrew two substantial works after returning to the company to make room for the best position.

At first, there were several editors in the editorial department who considered themselves to be more experienced and had quite a few opinions about this. But when Editor-in-Chief Liao placed the six chapters of "Cultural Journey" in front of them, there were no more dissenting voices.

On the contrary, the face that was originally full of bitterness and hatred turned into a sigh of wasted time. There was nothing he could do. Strength overwhelmed everything. He could only sigh secretly for the author under his control: Why was there a Liang when there was Yu? He was born at the wrong time! He was born at the wrong time!
This is also the reason why "Cultural Journey" was able to come on stage at the last minute, right at the tail end of the bimonthly magazine.

About 15 minutes later, the old principal put down his book, took off his glasses and said:
"Xiao Lin, this "Cultural Journey" is well-written and thought-provoking. The author put a lot of effort into it. You should take some time to read it."

Xiao Lin was the old principal's assistant and his favorite student. After listening to the lecture, he immediately picked up the Harvest magazine and flipped through it. Then he suddenly asked a question:
"Principal, you said that the outside world is arguing about this December and arguing over royalties, but I am fine, I don't show off, I don't care at all, let you toss and turn, and quietly come up with a new work.

This is a slap in the face. You still give such a high evaluation. I guess the slap in the face was successful. I have been wondering, how old is December and how can it be so patient? "

Hearing this, the old principal smiled cheerfully, picked up a peeled boiled egg, took a bite and said casually: "By the way, when we return to school, please help me do something and ask for a file."

Xiao Lin asked quickly, "Whose file is it?"

The old principal said, "The student who majored in statistics at the School of Management is named Li Heng."

Xiao Lin was stunned. "This class of freshmen."

The old principal hummed lightly.

After getting the confirmation, Xiao Lin was even more confused, "Is there someone important?"

An ordinary person would not ask such a stupid question, but the relationship between the two is that of teacher and student, and there is no need to be so particular in private, so he asked casually.

The old principal said meaningfully: "Don't play tricks, just give me the file, and don't bother him without my permission."

"Is he really that important?" Xiao Lin's tone became more serious.

The old principal glanced at him and started eating his boiled eggs.

The old man and the young man didn't speak loudly, but Maidong, who was sitting next to them smoking, heard every word.

At this moment, his head was buzzing. He suddenly remembered the conversation between his daughter and Li Heng, and then the old man's high evaluation of "Cultural Journey".

After a long time, Mai Dong finally couldn't hold back his thoughts and handed over two Baisha cigarettes, and asked enthusiastically: "What are your names, are you going to Shanghai?"

The old principal loved cigarettes, so he didn’t refuse the good ones. He took them and said, “My last name is Sun.”

Xiao Lin also took the cigarette, "Lin Shusen, go back to Shanghai to work."

Later, Lin Shusen looked at Li Heng, Mai Sui, Sun Manning and Zhang Zhiyong, who were chatting and laughing in the car opposite him, and asked, "Are you sending your children to school in Shanghai?"

Mai Dong introduced: "Yes, the one in pink is my daughter. She was admitted to Fudan University this year. Her mother and I went to see her off."

The old man and the young man looked at each other in bewilderment. Lin Shusen asked, "Fudan is good. Which major do you want to major in?"

Mai Dong said proudly: "School of Management, major in accounting."

Then it was Mai Dong's turn to perform. Although he only had a high school education, he had been in business for many years, had a very high emotional intelligence, and was very careful with his words. Even though the three of them were not from the same world, they still interacted with each other, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly good.

When he felt that he had finished reading, Mai Dong started to borrow books. "I just heard Mr. Sun praising "Cultural Journey". I was itching to read it. Can you lend it to me?"

The old principal was not stingy and gave him the book, "Do you also like to read "Harvest"?"

Maidong knew his own worth. Through the conversation just now, the other party had almost figured out the content of his knowledge, so he did not act like a big shot and said with a smile:

"I'm usually busy and don't have time, but I heard that the writer December is from our Shao City, so I paid special attention to him. I didn't expect that he would publish a new book so soon."

Lin Shusen was surprised, "So Mr. Mai and December are from the same place. I'm so sorry!"

With this detour, the topic successfully turned to Li Heng. After a while, Mai Dong had already made a general judgment on Li Heng's status in the literary world, how talented Li Heng was, and how awesome Li Heng's new book was.

After making the judgment, Maidong was so excited! It was as if he had climbed over the mountains, crossed the sea, and was heading towards the South Pole. It was really shocking!
The level of surprise was unprecedented!

I didn’t expect that there was such a talented person hiding next to my daughter!
I didn’t expect that this talented person has such a good relationship with his daughter!
Sun Manning heard people in the corridor outside talking about the writer December, and immediately said proudly to Li Heng, Mai Sui and Zhang Zhiyong:

"You see, the writer December is indeed our fellow countryman. He is very famous and we can hear people talking about him on the train."

Then Sun Manning sighed, "It's a pity. My father has been defending her for so long, and he and Wang Shuo have been arguing in the newspapers for a month or two, but he still doesn't know what she looks like or how old she is."

Oh my goodness! Unable to bear this, Zhang Zhiyong buried his head in the quilt, patted the bed frantically, and tried his best to hold back his laughter! It was so damn hard to hold back his laughter!
Mai Sui was much calmer. He glanced at Li Heng who looked calm, then lowered his head to peel an orange and eat it.

Sun Manning asked Li Heng: "What happened to Zhang Zhiyong? Is he stupid?"

Li Heng said: "He must be stupid. He becomes stupid once or twice every day."

Sun Manning took out a deck of playing cards and said, "It will take several hours to get to Shanghai. It's boring. Come, let's play poker and level up."

"Okay, I'll go to the bathroom." Li Heng also felt bored, so he stood up and said so.

Just as Li Heng stepped out of the carriage and greeted Mai Dong in the aisle, Sun Manning's voice came from behind:
"Li Heng, wait for me, there's no water to drink. I need to go get a kettle of water."

"Okay, hurry up."

Li Heng stretched and saw an old man and a young boy looking up at him. He smiled at them in a friendly manner.

After watching Li Heng and Sun Manning walk away, Lin Shusen finally came to his senses and turned to ask Mai Dong: "Is Li Heng also going to study at Fudan University?"

Mai Dong thought it was funny, you finally found out, "They are going to Fudan. The two people who just left are both freshmen at Fudan."

The old man, who usually spoke relatively little, interrupted: "What major are you studying?"

Mai Dong didn't understand this, and he had never asked, so he raised his voice to ask his daughter who was eating oranges in the car: "Sui Sui, what major is Li Heng studying?"

Mai Sui turned around and said, "Statistics."

Hearing this, Lin Shusen looked at the old principal in surprise.

The old principal calmly put on his reading glasses again and aimed his eyes in the direction of the toilet. He didn't see it clearly just now, but this time he had to take a good look at the god that his old friend from Peking University complained that he had abducted.
