"Hey, it's not that exaggerated... It's just a marketing ploy... Okay, you can come to Jinling to get together when you have time..."

Yu Dong had just finished dealing with Han Shaogong's call when he looked up and saw Liu Ye standing at the door.

"Teacher Yu, I'm here to submit my thoughts after reading."

Yu Dong waved, "Come in."

After Liu Ye came in, Yu Dong refilled his tea cup and said with a smile: "You read this book carefully enough. It has been a month since I handed the magazine to you. Sit down and put your notes on the coffee table.

."

"I was afraid that the writing was not good enough, so I revised it several times." Liu Ye put down the manuscript and said sarcastically.

Yu Dong nodded, walked over and picked up Liu Ye's reading notes, and couldn't help but weigh it: "Oh, it's so thick... The original text of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is not that long. You must have this..."

Liu Ye scratched his head and replied: "With punctuation marks, there are more than 8,000 words in total. It was originally more than 10,000 words, but I deleted some."

"Okay, sit down for a while and I'll take a look."

In fact, after reading this review, Yu Dong felt quite satisfied even before reading it. At least it shows that Liu Ye was not just stalling for time this month, but actually read the novel seriously. Otherwise, he would have been disappointed.

Even if he tried hard, he couldn't come up with more than 8,000 words.

Putting down the tea cup, Yu Dong began to read Liu Ye's review seriously.

In the afternoons in Jinling in April and May, the chirping of insects and birds mixed with the sounds of play and play on the playground, wandering into the office, making people feel a sense of silence and tranquility.

But Liu Ye's heart was not at peace at all.

Yu Dong was reading the review carefully. Liu Ye was sitting opposite him, with his upper body upright and his hands constantly rubbing his thighs, as if he wanted to rub away the tension and uneasiness in his heart. But the more he rubbed, the uneasiness in his heart not only disappeared.

The more you rub, the more you rub.

He did not lie to Yu Dong. In order to write this review, he read "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" many times in the early stage, and he was almost able to recite the entire text.

After he was familiar with it, he began to write his thoughts after reading it. He wrote several drafts but was not satisfied with it, and he would always come up with new ideas and insights as he wrote, and he had to start writing again.

Later, he wrote and wrote, writing more than 10,000 words at once, but he felt it was too much, so he deleted and deleted more than 8,000 words.

Before coming to Yu Dong's office, he read this review over and over again in his dormitory, fearing that some problems would arise and he would make a fool of himself in front of Yu Dong.

It wasn't until he almost didn't recognize the words on the book that he read it that he finally mustered up the courage to show it to Yu Dong.

In less than ten minutes, Yu Dong put down Liu Ye's thoughts after reading, and then looked at Liu Ye with a smile: "The writing is very serious. I can see that you have indeed read the novel carefully. Choose words and make sentences.

I won’t say much about you. You still need to read more. Only when your reading ability improves can you have a good sense of language and write good things. Although you may not need to write in the future, I believe that you can

With a good sense of language, you will be more comfortable in understanding the script and mastering the lines in the future."

Liu Ye nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I understand. I will definitely continue to study seriously when I go back. And not only will I study seriously, but I will also urge other students to study seriously. All the students in our class have joined the Cucumber Garden Reading Club

, I will go to the reading club as soon as the weekend comes."

"That's a good thing."

Speaking of book clubs, Yu Dong hasn’t attended an event in a long time.

The development of the Cucumber Garden Reading Club is different from that of the Cucumber Garden Science Fiction Association. The Science Fiction Association has now grown to include colleges and universities across the country, and its scale is very large.

However, the Cucumber Garden Reading Club has only developed in a few colleges and universities in Jinling, and its members are mainly concentrated in Jinling University.

It is understandable that the reading club has not developed and grown. After all, the scope of reading clubs is too broad, and there are so many reading clubs in the world, and there is no significant difference between the Cucumber Garden Reading Club and other reading clubs.

At first, many people joined the book club because writers like Yu Dong were in it, but for students from other schools, joining the book club does not give them more opportunities to get in touch with Yu Dong and others.

"You can take the manuscript back. Also, go back and think about how you would behave if you were asked to play the role of this young rural postman."

"ah?"

"Ah what? It's hard to understand these two sentences of mine?"

"No, no, do you want to write a report this time?"

Yu Dong waved his hand: "No, you can just think about it yourself."

Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "I understand, Teacher Yu."

…

Just as Liu Ye left, Yu Hua ran in again. Yu Dong was lowering his head to drink water. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and Yu Hua had already sat down on the sofa.

Yu Dong rolled his eyes at him: "Don't you know how to knock on the door?"

Yu Hua sniffed and said nothing. He got up and ran to the door, knocked on the door, and said in a strange tone: "Teacher Yu, can I come in?"

"cannot."

Yu Hua ignored him and ran to the sofa to sit down.

Yu Dong shook his head and poured Yu Hua a glass of water before Yu Hua "told" him to pour water, "What do you want to see me for?"

"Feiyu contacted us about an event and said that the Chinese Department of Jinling Normal University invited us to give a lecture. Their Chinese Department will be upgraded to a liberal arts college this year. I guess they want to create momentum."

Yu Dong asked curiously: "Why did Feiyu contact me?"

"He has a college classmate who went to Jinling Normal University after his undergraduate degree, and later stayed at Jinling Normal University to teach, and is now a teacher in the Chinese Department. His classmate has asked this several times, and Feiyu asked me to ask you what your opinion is.

."

"Does Old Wu know about this?"

Yu Hua nodded: "Feiyu told Principal Wu that Principal Wu means it depends on our own wishes and he will not interfere."

"In that case, let's go. Anyway, Jinling Normal University is not far away. Let's take a walk there on a weekend. You ask Feiyu to set the time for this month and go there before we go to France. Otherwise, wait for us

After I come back from France, it’s graduation season and I’m going to be busy again.”

"Okay, I'll talk to him later." Yu Hua nodded, then frowned and looked at Yu Dong: "No, don't you have a phone? Why do you have to let me deliver the message? Can't you just make a phone call?

"

"It's not because I'm afraid that I can't explain it over the phone. You can explain it more clearly when you go over there."

"Shit, isn't it simpler and clearer to call and communicate directly than if I pass the message in the middle?"

Yu Dong crossed his legs, leaned back, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu Hua, in life, some things should not be dealt with too clearly, otherwise it will always bring pain. In this world, you cannot be too sober.

."

"How do you say this?" Yu Hua asked.

"Under what circumstances did Feiyu ask you to come here?"

"I went to chat with him, but we didn't even have a few words. He said he had something to tell you, but he couldn't get away for the time being, so he asked me to help him run."

"Then do you know why Raindance insists on making a trip when you can call me and tell me?"

"Why..." Just as he started to speak, Yu Hua narrowed his eyes and pointed at Yu Dong: "You two are screwed."

He understood what Yu Dong meant. Bi Feiyu thought he was disturbing his work, so he deliberately sent him to Yu Dong. Yu Dong also disliked him and wanted to send him back to Bi Feiyu.

Go to the side.

Yu Dong also wanted to tease Yu Hua. When he saw him getting angry, he smiled and said: "Calm down, calm down. Let's do this. I will go to Feiyu with you to help you criticize him and ask him what's wrong with him."

Damn it, we can't treat you like this just because you wander around every day with nothing to do. It's hard for people to stand. Doesn't he know? You are a genius, Hemingway-style writer, and you are different from ordinary people like us.

Three hundred and sixty-five days, you only need to catch inspiration for one or two days. I'll ask him if it's because he can't see your neck even though he works hard, so he feels jealous... Alas,

Brother Yu Hua, where are you going...walk slowly..."

…

Facts have proved that human beings are animals that hold grudges, and among such animals, writers are especially so.

Yu Dong was scolded by Yu Dong in the afternoon, and for the next three consecutive days, whenever they met, Yu Hua would definitely get angry at Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu.

When Yu Dong was having breakfast in the morning, Yu Hua looked inside through the window, "Oh, a writer who works so hard also needs to eat breakfast. Then a genius like me needs to eat eight meals a day."

When Yu Dong went to the office to work, Yu Hua would occasionally stand at the door of the office, pretending to mutter to himself and say loudly: "It's better not to go in, so as not to attract suspicion."

When playing cards in the evening, Yu Hua would look at Bi Feiyu and Yu Dong and say, "How can non-genius writers also play cards?"

Later, Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu couldn't bear it anymore and expressed their willingness to treat Yu Hua to a meal to apologize, but Yu Hua gave up.

As for the matter of Jinling Normal University, it has also been decided, and the date is May 17th.

When they heard this time, the people at Jinling Normal University were also a little surprised, because it was only a few days away from May 17th. They originally thought that if they could invite Yu Dong and others over, they would naturally give it a good publicity.

It will definitely take time.

But since Yu Dong and the others have set a time, it is not easy for Jinling Normal University to object. They have been talking about this for a long time before they have this opportunity. If they can't invite them this time, they don't know when they will have to wait until next time.

.

On the morning of May 17, after Yu Dong and the others had breakfast, they did not take the bus, but wandered to Jinling Normal University on their legs.

When they arrived at the gate of Jinling Normal University, the teachers and students of Jinling Normal University who greeted them were all stunned.

"That seems to be Yu Dong and the others?"

Liang Huishi pushed her eyes, squinted at the group of people walking this way, and then opened her eyes wide, "It's really them!"

Principal Xu Yangfan asked: "Hui Shi, what happened? How did you let them come over?"
