After this incident, Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu became sworn enemies. Xu Damao went around the factory saying that Jia Dongxu's family background was not good. He said that his mother was not only a shrew, but also often stole the bacon from He Yuzhu's house. When she was caught, she would throw a tantrum and roll around. No one in the courtyard could cure her.
After Jia Dongxu found out, he was furious. He blocked Xu Damao's door and asked for an explanation, but Xu Damao refused to admit it. Jia Dongxu found an excuse to beat him up twice. He did not mention these things in the future.
The next morning, He Yuzhu packed up and brought the first chapter of the book," The Dirty History of a Strong Country's Prosperity ", to Li Yugang, the vice president of the Capital Daily.
He also brought two bottles of pork sauce and two bottles of canned yellow peaches for Deputy Editor Li. They were all food that he had made himself. They were not worth much. They were good with steamed buns and porridge.
He Yuzhu valued Li Yugang's opinion very much. In this era, newspapers were all the mouthpieces of the government. As the deputy editor-in-chief of a newspaper office, he had to understand the spirit of his superiors. Otherwise, he would easily make mistakes. Therefore, it was most appropriate to ask him for guidance.
He Yuzhu asked Deputy Chief Editor Li for advice. On one hand, he wanted to know if these things were in line with the main theme. On the other hand, there were no taboos in some of the words and sentences.
Li Yugang was very happy to see He Yuzhu come over. It was not because he had brought some gifts, but mainly because he felt that He Yuzhu was a talent that he had discovered.
However, he still said to He Yuzhu with a straight face,""Comrade Yuzhu, you've been slacking off recently. I haven't seen you submit in a long time.”
He Yuzhu quickly explained," Chief Editor Li, I was preparing for the college entrance examination a while ago. Later on, I was thinking about writing a history book. I've been flipping through the books and looking up information to make some preparations. Didn't I just write the first chapter and brought it over to ask for your guidance?"”
Li Yugang took the thick stack of paper from He Yuzhu and skimmed through the outline first. He didn't seem to see it clearly, so he read it carefully again. It took more than half an hour.
He didn't say anything. He simply flipped through the preface and the first chapter and said to He Yuzhu,""Your content is well documented, right? How many speculations are there?"
He Yuzhu quickly replied respectfully," Most of the information is well documented. I've also noted some conflicting information below. There's nothing I can speculate about."”
Li Yugang put the manuscript aside." I want to take a closer look. I might have to discuss it with our editor-in-chief. I'll tell you in a few days."”
He took a sip of tea and asked,""How do you feel about university? Can you keep up with your progress?"
He Yuzhu bowed and replied,""It feels pretty good. I feel that listening to the lessons taught by those teachers is very rewarding. I can still keep up with my learning progress.”
Li Yugang chuckled and said," Speaking of which, we're schoolmates now. I was also a student at Imperial University back then. Unfortunately, I was forced to leave before I graduated."”
As he spoke, he sighed repeatedly.
When he returned home at noon, He Yuzhu made a pot of noodles, cut cucumbers and radish vegetables, and put them together. She made a bowl of sesame sauce, mixed it with garlic paste and chili oil, and had a meal of sesame sauce noodles with rainwater and the Deaf Old Lady. It was the favorite of the people in the old capital in summer.
She just had to brush her teeth and rinse her mouth again after eating so that Yang Yue wouldn't fall over when she watched the ballets later.
However, even after brushing his teeth for a long time, the smell of garlic still lingered in his mouth. He Yuzhu chewed on the chewing gum that he had stolen from Mei Jun and set off for the theater with Xiao Yushui.
On the bus, He Yuzhu thought to herself that she could organize more of such cultural activities in the future, such as dramas, stage plays, symphonies, etc. Even if they couldn't do it, Beijing opera was also the quintessence of Chinese culture. Some live performances by old artists would be impossible to see in the future.
He could also broaden Rainy's horizons and create more programs for his dates. He couldn't spend all his time in bookstores.
He Yuzhu wanted to see if he could further develop his relationship with Yang Yue today, or ask her if she could date him. However, with the third wheel beside him, he had to find a good opportunity.
They arrived at the theater a quarter to two. Today was a more formal occasion. He Yuzhu had added a suit vest over his white shirt. He Yushui was also wearing a white shirt with a lotus leaf collar and a navy blue plaid pleated skirt. He Yuzhu did not carry a military bag today. Instead, he carried a leather briefcase.
The siblings stood at the entrance of the theater and waited for Yang Yue. It was almost two o'clock, and most of the audience had already entered. When there were few people at the entrance of the theater, Yang Yue panted and jogged over.
When He Yuzhu saw her running over like a big honey, he could not help but be mesmerized. He quickly went forward and said,"Don't worry, don't worry. The performance hasn't started yet. There's still time.”
She stood still and calmed her breathing. The honey fan calmed down and said,"I'm sorry. I left a little late and didn't catch the last bus. I was almost late.”
In fact, Yang Yue had left at the right time. She had just left the dormitory when she bumped into Big Sister Li, the chief engineer. This big sister had been trying to introduce Yang Yue to someone. Yang Yue had said several times that she had just started working and wanted to adapt first. She would consider her personal problems when she could take up the job.
However, it was unknown whether this Big Sister Li was too enthusiastic or had other thoughts. She simply brought the young man here today, wanting to meet him by chance.
The young man brought by Big Sister Li was the son of a higher-level leader. His surname was Zhang and he worked in the cultural and educational department. He was more than 1.7 meters tall. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked refined.
If he didn't appear in such a manner, Yang Yue would probably be polite and exchange a few pleasantries.
However, she was still thinking about the two o'clock Ballet, so she had to apologize to Sister Li and say that she had indeed made an appointment to watch the performance. Comrade Xiao Zhang could only talk to her next time they met.
Big Sister Li's expression was not good as she said,"Comrade Little Zhang is already here. At least sit down and have a cup of water and chat.”
Yang Yue had never experienced such a thing before. She had never seen such a person who took advantage of her seniority to make things difficult for her. She was both embarrassed and angry. Her small face flushed red, and she was about to explode.
Fortunately, Comrade Xiao Zhang saw that Yang Yue did seem to have something to do, and there was already a trend of stalemate. He felt that forcing her might be counterproductive, so he said with a smile,"Hehe, this is really unfortunate. But it doesn't matter. Let's chat again next time.”
He nodded at Yang Yue and left with Big Sister Li.
Xiao Zhang, who turned around and left, had a gloomy expression on his face. Big Sister Li carefully smiled and said,"This girl really doesn't know what's good for her. Don't worry, I'll definitely arrange it next time.”
Comrade Xiao Zhang sneered and said,"Do you know what's going on with his family?”
Big Sister Li said," She's just an art soldier who has just been transferred. I'll get to know her family as soon as possible. Don't worry."”
Yang Yue was able to escape. She hurried and finally arrived before the performance.
The three of them quickly walked into the hall of the theater and found their seats. It was already a little rude to come in at this time. He Yuzhu and He Yushui did not know how to dance. Before they had anything to do with it, Yang Yue felt very awkward.
