Chapter 63: Confession is lenient, resistance is strict
"Why are you back so late?"
When they met, Yang Wenshu's face showed joy, but her mouth habitually said words of blame.
"Mom, I'm waiting for the royalties to be paid out before I come back." Lin Xiaoguang put down his things, stretched out his hands, stepped forward and hugged her, and then said in her ear: "Mom, I miss you."
Chinese people's emotions are reserved, unlike Americans who hug, kiss on the cheek, and say "I love you" when they meet.
A hug is the limit that Yang Wenshu can accept.
In an instant, Yang Wenshu's eyes turned red.
She hadn't seen anyone for more than half a year, but when they met, he did this to calm her mind. She laughed and scolded: "What are you doing? Eat quickly, are you starving to death?"
When I got home by car, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Zhongping had already gone to work.
When Xiao Fei and Xiao Mo heard his voice, they stopped doing their winter vacation homework and ran out one by one. They were very happy to see him and shouted: "Brother, you are finally back?"
Lin Xiaoguang touched their heads one by one and said with a smile: "I came back, I just bought snacks for you, wasting a little time."
The two little guys became even happier after hearing this.
When Yang Wenshu saw this, she frowned and scolded: "Spending money indiscriminately again!"
Lin Xiaoguang waved his hand: "Mom, I'm not short of money now!"
"Is it royalties? How much did you earn? Just wait a moment and I'll heat up some food for you." Yang Wenshu walked towards the kitchen and asked as she walked.
"When my dad comes back tonight, I'll tell you together."
"You only have a small amount of money, and you're still cheating on me." Yang Wenshu opened the seal of the honeycomb briquette stove and chuckled after hearing this.
After a late lunch, in the evening, after the family finished dinner, the two little guys went to the room to do homework. Yang Wenshu and Lin Zhongping sat on the sofa, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at the pile of money on the coffee table in a daze.
Ten thousand yuan, a full ten thousand yuan, and a thousand yuan in overseas remittance coupons.
Based on the current salary of thirty or forty a month, it would take two hundred and fifty months and twenty years to earn it without eating or drinking. This is a huge amount of money.
"Tell me, how do you earn this kind of money? Just by writing novels? You will be given leniency if you confess, but you will be severely punished if you resist!"
Lin Zhongping's eyes widened and he stared straight at Lin Xiaoguang with a fierce look on his face, as if he had done something wrong and would kill his family.
"Yes." Lin Xiaoguang said seriously.
Then he took out a stack of newspapers, handed them to Lin's parents, and said: "I run a literary club in school, founded literary magazines, Tsinghua Literary Society and Youth Digest. Many people who study in Peking know that,
If you don’t believe me, go ask?”
"Isn't my literary talent good? I wrote a novel, submitted it to Hong Kong, and then published it. This is the royalties, money and overseas remittances."
Yang Wenshu was even more surprised now: "Hong Kong?"
Lin Xiaoguang looked at Lin's father and Lin's mother and became serious for a moment, and he also became serious: "We are the first class of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. The country is in desperate need of development. There are many special tasks assigned to us, let's take our English class.
Say, for example, translating foreign academic journals are very confidential things..."
"What does that have to do with you submitting your article to Hong Kong?" Yang Wenshu saw Lin Zhongping's face turned dark and had to blush.
"One of my teachers has a friend from the Hong Kong Commercial Daily. When we were chatting, he told me that the Commercial Daily was in trouble, so I wrote a novel and joined it."
After Lin Xiaoguang finished speaking, he looked at his parents and his expression became serious: "What follows involves some confidential information, so please, parents, please don't tell outsiders."
Without waiting for their reaction, he spoke: "Hong Kong is now a British colony, but the country has many agencies there. On the surface, they run companies and newspapers, but in fact they are all state-owned, such as China Resources and Wen Wei Po.
”, Since the June 7th riots, the citizens of Hong Kong have turned to the right, and the situation is not very good for the country. The five major newspapers run by the state in the past have all closed down, and only three are still half-dead. "Wen Wei Po"
"Ta Kung Pao" and "Business Daily"."
"In order to implement the country's united front strategy and expand the influence of Zuopai newspapers among citizens, the Business Daily began to transform last year. The novels I wrote tripled the sales of the Business Daily to more than 40,000 copies. The country also specially provided
I handed out a certificate of award."
After Lin Xiaoguang finished speaking, he took out a certificate engraved with the seal of the Hong Kong Commercial Daily Party Committee, handed it to the two of them, and then continued.
"So now I write novels not only for myself, but also to complete the tasks of the national cultural front and united front."
"Everything I said is true. The total manuscript fee is 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. When I went to the bank, I received 5,000 yuan and 5,000 overseas remittance coupons. I exchanged the overseas remittance coupons for money. Now I only have this 10,000 yuan and I have 1,000 overseas remittance coupons left."
The two of them were very serious. After seeing the certificate of award and listening to it, Yang Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Zhongping still had a dark face, but his face was not so ugly.
At this time, someone knocked on the door and shouted: "Xiaoguang, open the door!".
It's the great Bolin Boping.
The three of them were stunned, stood up together, and quickly collected the money on the coffee table.
Lin Zhongping took the time to glare at Lin Xiaoguang and said viciously: "I will find someone to verify. If you lie, you will be dead."
Finally got this matter sorted out.
Lin Xiaoguang breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful to Zhong Wenzhang who returned to Hong Kong. If he hadn't asked him for this certificate, he didn't know how long he would have kept this matter a secret.
"Don't worry, Dad, it's really okay."
Lin Zhongping snorted.
The next day, Yang Wenshu took Xiaofei and Xiaomo to buy new year's goods. Lin Zhongping found the leader of the Public Security Bureau to find out some information. After that, he ran to the city and made inquiries through his own channels. After returning, he came back to tell the story.
Tell the old man five ten.
As for Lin Zhongping's own inquiring about information, he didn't even mention it.
Then, the old man called Lin Boping, and the three of them discussed the matter together. After the discussion was completed, he called Lin Xiaoguang over for a joint trial among the three halls.
Lin Xiaoguang naturally has something to say.
Let's just say this. Before, it was really a big deal, but now that we have reformed and opened up, the matter is not that big. Besides, it involves state secrets, so there is no way to ask clearly.
In the end, the old man was hesitant and asked around for information.
In fact, it is easy to ask for a certificate. You can ask the parties and the unit for details. However, this is not realistic at all because it involves state secrets. You cannot go directly to the Hong Kong Commercial News? Naturally, you cannot verify it.
Therefore, when inquiring, there are some things that you cannot say directly, you can only make insinuations, and you can only understand things in words but not in words, and just understand them in your heart.
The old man was confused after hearing this, but he could only believe it later.
This matter is over for the time being.
While doing some New Year shopping at home, Lin Xiaoguang took the time to go back to his hometown in Yuntai Commune and look for Li Dongming, the brigade secretary of the Nanyao brigade.
Although he grew up in a small town, he would go back to his hometown from time to time. He was quite familiar with the Lin family in the village and was no stranger to Li Dongming.
Li Dongming is from Chang'an County. His family lives in the city. He is an educated youth in his twenties and seventies. After he came to Nanyao Brigade to work in the countryside, he became the party branch secretary of the brigade in three years. It has been three years now.
Lin Xiaoguang came to him, of course he had something to do, and it was a ground-breaking event for the Nanyao Brigade.
Li Dongming is a reformist and very far-sighted. A few years ago, Xichuan and Jianghuai provinces carried out rural reforms, and some counties, with the support of the provincial party committee, carried out reform and exploration of the rural economic system.
At that time, he got the news from nowhere and wanted to reform the Nanyao brigade and ensure production was assigned to the group.
Unfortunately, it was secretly vetoed by the conservative old man, and the captain Lin Boyuan, who obeyed the old man's words, also directly expressed his opposition, and the production guarantee system ended in vain.
Right now, Lin Xiaoguang planned to get him to do this.
