Chapter 27 Chapter fifteen

Yu Nan lost Yao Mi's manuscript and was a little uneasy.As days passed, his worries gradually cleared up.He felt that he was resourceful, and such a small thing was not worth mentioning.Shanbao was easy to dismiss. If he asked for the manuscript again, he would say that Yao Mi had asked him for it himself.He didn't need to say whether he had returned the manuscript, anyway, Yao Mi had already contacted him directly on this matter, so there was no need for Shanbao to intervene.If Shi Nina or Jiang Min suggested that the manuscript should be criticized or exhibited, all he had to say was that Yao Mi came to claim it back in person.He had to be careful not to say anything dead and evasive, as if he had already paid it back.If Yao Mi asks for it again, it will take some trouble.But he saw through that Yao Mi was stubborn and self-willed, but he was still young, and he couldn't stand his bullying, so he retreated.She obviously didn't dare to ask Fu Jin for it.To deal with her, you can use various methods to evade, or say that you don’t remember where you put it, or that you remember that you have already returned it, or if she is embarrassed, you can simply say that the manuscript has been returned, and she might as well go to his house to search.It seems that she hit a nail once and won't come again.

He didn't know that after discussing with her mother, Yao Mi did say that the manuscript had been returned to her.Otherwise, Luo Hou would quarrel with his fists, and Xu Yancheng would sue Fu Jin. Even if Yao Mi's manuscript was not lost, Yu Nan didn't bother to write any more critical articles.He was annoyed by that article.Because Shi Nina was extravagant, she gave all the manuscript fees to Jiang Min without authorization, and only informed Yu Nan afterwards, as if all the manuscript fees belonged to her.Even though he didn't have much money, Yu Nan felt that at least half of it should belong to him.He wrote the article, and Jiang Taotao added a lot of unnecessary plagiarism, and as a result, two to three thousand words were deleted from Yu Nan's original manuscript.Jiang Min did a lot of administrative work, but Shi Nina was the one who contributed the least in addition to giving ideas. Among the four members of "Runan Wen", Jiang Min is the one with the lowest salary and the most in need of manuscript fees.However, if he wanted to give Jiang Min all the manuscript fees, it would be up to him, Yu Nanwei, to sell his favor!It's ridiculous that Ms. Jiang Minyou is full of airs, as if she is so arrogant that she doesn't talk about money, and she didn't even thank him.Yu Nan felt that it was fortunate that he didn't put his heart into writing it at the beginning, because it was a collective article, so there was no need to put too much effort into it.Now he has made up his mind that he can let go of Yao Mi's matter if he can.It's just that he didn't dare to offend Shi Nina, after all, she was Mrs. Fu Jin's close friend.

Shi Nina came to him that day.He hurriedly asked Wanying to brew the Biluochun that Nina admired, and at the same time took out his best cigarettes to respect the guests. Shi Nina's complexion was not very good-looking, but seeing Yu Nan's hospitality, she had to force a smile on.She asked Yu Nan to light a cigarette for her, sat on the sofa and sighed, and said: "Mr. Yu, it's time to wrap up the year-end. I heard the tone of old Fu, and I don't need to mention the matter of our library." "What's the matter?" Yu Nan was at a loss.He just felt that Nina should talk to him first about the library.

"It's about Fang Fang's troubles. We are in charge of the library. But this is a matter of private life, and it involves people with face, so let's not mention it at all." Old Fu also agreed with me.The problem is only in our foreign language group, we can't report any decent results.After all, is there only Yao Mi's baby information? " "What does Comrade Fu Jin say about the critical article of 'Runan Wen'?" "I asked Tao Tao to show him. Tao Tao is a good boy, let alone who wrote it. When he saw that it was not a publication of the highest institution, he looked down upon it. After a few glances, he said 'average, not high level'. Tao Tao did not Tell me who the 'Runan Wen' is. Anyway, it's only one article, so don't mention it if you don't mention it. It doesn't matter if there is no result, but you have to preemptively, don't wait for others to criticize, you should criticize yourself first."

"Who are you criticizing?" "Self-criticism! Those who should be criticized will be dealt with. Tell me, if everyone looked at one place and put their energy into one place, a "Concise History of Western Literature" would have been written, at least a book There is no problem with the "Outline of Literary History." Yu Nan echoed, "It's not easy for everyone to be united." "As far as I'm concerned, it's not difficult." She waved her hand with the cigarette in her hand, and the ashes fell all over the floor. "An extra mind is a waste of effort! Not every Soviet history of world literature is useful. The date of publication is new, but the theory is old! A layman can't be an expert. If you think you are smart, what you come up with is nothing to say Scrap! You have to criticize even if you don’t have an exhibition. But Lao Fu said, ‘Forget it, there’s no need to worry about it’. Good! Let it go? Let decadent thoughts flood?”

Yu Nan thought to herself, it must be that Fu Jin did not accept her opinion.He tentatively said, "Being a leader is not easy." "That's right! Old Fu is the acting president now, and there are many ambitious people. At the summary meeting, they are allowed to bring up this shortcoming and that mistake. We must grasp the direction of the wind, control the fire, and burn it to the place where it should be burned. Don't let yourself be teased. If you don't tease others, others will tease you. Old Fu is really bookish, saying 'you don't tease people, people don't tease you'. That refers to Fang Fang. Yao Mi and his team can't touch it ?”

Yu Nan said confidently, "They can't get through anyway." "Completely divorced from reality and from the people. The country is in full swing to resist US aggression and aid Korea, but they are lifeless. Taotao and I are boiling. I said to Jiang Min: 'If I do what you do, I will join the army. I will not go to the front line, but stay behind. You can also interrogate prisoners." She, after all, is Miss Jiao, and her consciousness is not high. Intellectuals can't reform their souls if they don't engage in fiery struggle. The two of us can't sit still. We plan to go to the countryside to reform, or before concluding , or after summarizing."

"Aren't you going to join the army?" Nina smiled. "I'm old, Tao Tao is so weak, can I go to the front line? Stay in the rear to interrogate prisoners. We can't speak English, no better than Jiang Min." Yu Nan laughed and said, "Can I do it?" Nina laughed loudly and coughed until she laughed, "You need your wife to take care of you!" They turned to joking, and Nina's irritation subsided. Yu Nan discerned the direction of the wind from Nina's words, and according to his original plan, he wrote a year-end summary of the group work in a decent manner, and handed it to Bo Jin in person. Fu Jin was very satisfied after reading it.Yu Nan mentioned by the way that many people think that Yao Mi's material is wrong in principle and should be criticized.But he thinks that the achievements that have already been affirmed need not be mentioned again, and they will be discarded as waste.This is only to blame for the lax control of the group leader, but it shouldn't dampen the enthusiasm of young people.He suggested that Fu Jin, as the team leader of the foreign language group, should just point out his responsibilities to the group leader at the right time, and don’t criticize publicly, as it would hurt harmony—of course he doesn’t advocate harmony, but the foreign language group is only a small group, Apart from Comrade Fu Jin, there is not a single well-educated party member, and I am afraid that he does not have the spirit of criticism-self-criticism. At present, unity is paramount, and avoidable contradictions should be eliminated as much as possible.

What he said made Fu Jin change his appearance and respect each other. Unexpectedly, he was an enthusiastic person who took care of the overall situation.It's like after Li Jia Baoyu was beaten by Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang heard the small report of the attacker, but she didn't expect this girl to know the general situation.Yu Nan himself was probably like Xiren, he felt that he had done his duty faithfully and that he could have no regrets in his heart. Fu Jin's year-end summary meeting was very successful. He affirmed the achievements, such as basically completed the work, how many words of the first draft, etc.; at the same time pointed out the shortcomings, such as lack of diligence in political studies, lax work discipline, etc. In terms of ideology and life, there is corruption of bourgeois ideology and so on.In general, great results are lacking.Therefore, he put forward some suggestions and some hopes on how to improve the work.The meeting went smoothly, and no one made things difficult for him.

As for Fang Fang, she once made a profound self-criticism in a very small meeting, admitting that she was "exuberant in lust" but "weak in revolutionary will", which was the exact opposite of her husband.In the future, she will not be able to bow her head to her own depression, and must work hard to learn from her husband.Fan Fan thought she was sincere and honest.Fang Fang also admitted that she was the active party, so the passive party only wrote a written review. Fan Fan gave him advice and warnings, but did not criticize publicly.In Fu Jin's summary, "the corruption of the bourgeoisie exists in life" refers to this matter.

Unfortunately for Zhu Qianli, he couldn't prove to his wife that he was not Fang Fang's lover, and Luo Hou couldn't prove who it was.But Zhu Qianli himself said: "Anyway, I don't itch any more. No matter which woman says a word to me, she is my mistress." After the new year, each group further clarified the work plan, and everyone continued to work according to the plan.Only Xu Yancheng received a telegram from his family in Tianjin around the vernal equinox, saying that the old lady was seriously ill.He and Du Lilin asked for leave to live in Tianjin for a while.
