Chapter 224 The Seven Strangers of Jiangnan(1/2)

The next morning, when Cheng Yanqiu came to see Yu Dong, he saw a man squatting at the door smoking.

At first, he was far away and couldn't see his appearance clearly. Cheng Yanqiu thought it was Bi Feiyu who came running over early in the morning, and wanted to come closer and say hello. When he got closer, he realized that it was not Bi Feiyu.

Cheng Yanqiu looked at the other party with curiosity, and the other party also looked at her with curiosity.

Then the other party slapped his knees and stood up, smiling and saying: "You are my brother and sister, right?"

Siblings?

When Cheng Yanqiu didn't know how to answer, Yu Dong came out of the room and said to her, "This is Yu Hua."

"Oh, hello, hello."

When Cheng Yanqiu heard the word "Yu Hua", he didn't react for a while. He also thought that his surname was Yu and that he called his younger siblings, whether they were relatives of Yu Dong. But the more he thought about it, the more familiar the name became, and then he suddenly realized, "Are you Yu Hua?"

Yu Hua smiled and said, "This sister-in-law is a bit deaf."

Of course Cheng Yanqiu had read Yu Hua's book before meeting Yu Dong. After all, Yu Hua became famous earlier than Yu Dong. He had heard Yu Dong mention Yu Hua several times before, but now he was still very surprised to see the real person.

Yu Dong smiled and said: "You said she is good at everything else, but you can't say that she is deaf. She teaches music, but she can't be deaf."

"Looking at what you said, didn't Beethoven also have hard ears?"

"Hey, do you still know Beethoven?"

Yu Hua tapped Yu Dong with the hand holding the cigarette, "Are you swearing?"

"That's right." Yu Dong smiled and locked the door, "Let's go, we will take you around the school."

The reason why Yu Hua came over so early in the morning was because he agreed yesterday that Yu Dong would take him to visit the school today. Although Jin Yi is not big, Yu Hua will live here for at least a year in the future, so it is better to get familiar with him in advance.

Just in time, Cheng Yanqiu came to see Yu Dong, and the three of them came together.

When I walked out of the yard and looked towards the playground, I saw that the sun was hanging just above the treetops. Although the light snow had passed for a week, people running in vests could still be seen on the playground, which showed that there were still no signs of winter in Jinling.

On weekend mornings, there are fewer students on the road, but as long as students pass by, they will say hello to Yu Dong.

Seeing this, Yu Hua smiled and said, "It seems that you are very well-known in the school."

"Do you think I've been living in vain these two years?"

"show off."

"You said yesterday that you were going to take Haiguo and the others over. What was your plan?" Yu Dong asked.

"I don't have a plan, it depends on the situation. The contract I signed here is for one year. If one year expires, I will get out. It won't make much sense for them to come. Let's wait and see."

"If you need any help, don't be polite to me."

"Why should I be so polite to you?" Yu Hua said with a smile, "Since I'm here, I'm ready to trouble you."

"I called my senior brother yesterday and he said he would come to school this afternoon. I also called Han Dong and Gu Qian, but Gu Qian is still out of town and can't come back."

"Who is Gu Qian?"

"A local writer."

"Oh." Yu Hua nodded, thinking that Gu Qian should not be famous, otherwise Yu Dong would definitely tell him what he had written, "I haven't seen Su Tong in a while, and speaking of Jinling, I am somewhat acquainted with him. Bi Fei

Yu is here too, I heard from Principal Wu that he lives in the same building as me, but I didn’t see him yesterday. He has produced quite a lot of works in the past two years. Is it because he came to Jinling and was inspired by you? "

"I can't motivate him." Yu Dong walked around the playground. "Sometimes he gets up early to run, but today is a rest day, so he should sleep until very late. He is very lazy, even lazier than you.

."

"I'm lazy, but I don't sleep in."

Yu Dong smiled. Yu Hua is indeed not lazy, at least in life. He has many hobbies and has a rich life. However, he is relatively lazy when it comes to writing, so he is not a productive person.

writer.

The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon went around the school.

"The school is really small."

After walking around, Yu Hua made a summary.

Yu Dong looked at his watch and saw that it was still early, so he said to Yu Hua, "I'll take you to the poetry reading club. Maybe you will go there often in the future."

"Is there a poetry reading club in the Cucumber Garden? I heard someone say before I came here that members of this poetry reading club can get bonuses for publishing articles?"

"You want to join?"

Yu Hua touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Is the purpose too obvious?"

Yu Dong laughed and said, "Then you should be more reserved. I guess Lao Liu will invite you. Then you can push back, give in, and then reluctantly agree after the fourth time."

"It's better not to refuse. I'm afraid that people will take it seriously and just don't want me anymore."

Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said: "It's okay. Yu Dong and I are both members. We can just invite you one by one when the time comes. We can definitely make it three times."

"Ha ha."

The three of them chatted and laughed and came to the activity classroom of the poetry reading club. Not to mention, there were actually people there. Feng Ming, Jia Zhangke and others were chatting. As soon as Yu Dong and others entered the door, they heard Feng Ming promoting Wang Guozhen to the students:

"Sometimes seemingly straightforward language can exactly reflect the power and beauty of poetry. Being able to write the most ordinary language with a sense of power also shows the author's profound skills..."

Yu Hua nodded when he heard that. Well said, this is the essence. He has been often compared with Hemingway recently because his writing is as simple as Hemingway's.

Faulkner commented on Hemingway, saying that he never used a word that the author had to look up in a dictionary to understand.

The same is true for Yu Hua's works. The language is simple and he never uses complicated vocabulary. Faced with such comments, he laughs at himself because he is not very literate.

But in fact, many people who are illiterate write novels and like to use words that others cannot understand. Therefore, whether the words are simple or not has nothing to do with whether they are literate or not.

Moreover, Faulkner's evaluation of Hemingway was obviously not just about the simple use of words. In fact, Faulkner did not think that Hemingway could not write more difficult words. He felt that the reason why Hemingway never used them was because

Hemingway did not have the courage to embarrass readers.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As Feng Mingzheng was talking, some students noticed Yu Dong and the others coming over and greeted Yu Dong excitedly.

"Teacher Yu, Teacher Cheng."

Feng Ming also turned around, smiled at Yu Dong and said, "Rare visitors, why are you here so early in the morning?"

"Bring a new friend to meet you." Yu Dong pointed to Yu Hua next to him and said, "This is Yu Hua, the new writer-in-residence of our school."

Yu Dong arbitrarily changed the name of contract producer to writer-in-residence because he felt that the latter title was more appropriate.

Writer-in-residence?Yu Hua?

Feng Ming and Jia Zhangke suddenly received these two messages. In addition to being shocked, they were still shocked.

At this time, there were two questions lingering in their minds.

What is a writer-in-residence?

Is this Yu Hua that Yu Hua?

Yu Dong knew what they were thinking and continued, "Yes, he is the author of "Alive", Yu Hua."

After hearing that it was Yu Hua, Jia Zhangke was the first to rush over, nodding and bowing, "Hello, Teacher Yu Hua, I am a loyal fan of yours and I have read almost every one of your novels.

Especially "Alive", I really like it, and I have been looking forward to the single book coming out, and I will definitely buy a copy and collect it when the time comes."

"Ahem." Yu Dong coughed lightly from the side.

Jia Zhangke quickly added, "Of course, Teacher Yu's status in my heart will not change. It is an eternal mountain, and just like Mount Everest, it is growing taller every day."

Yu Dong looked at Jia Zhangke, who had a flattering smile on his face, and wondered whether he was following Qu Aiguo, Wang Hailin and the others. They had been together for a long time, and now they were getting more and more flattering.

He introduced to Yu Hua, "This is my student, Jia Zhangke."

At this time, Feng Ming and others also came over, and Yu Dong introduced Yu Hua one by one.

Seeing how excited each and every one of the students was, Yu Dong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, the monk from outside was good at chanting sutras, and Yu Hua captured the "hearts" of the students as soon as he arrived.

Facing a group of students who admired him, Yu Hua also picked up his cup and said seriously: "You all can have such enthusiasm for reading poetry and reading. As a literature lover who is slightly older than you, I also

very happy……"

The students nodded as they listened. The great writers were indeed different. They spoke in simple and profound terms, and they were also approachable.

Yu Dong rolled his eyes. Yu Hua had always lacked interest when visiting the school. It turns out that this is the crux. This guy is just like Bi Feiyu. He likes to be praised by others, and he is very happy when he is praised.

If I had known earlier, I should have brought him here directly.

Yu Hua, a great writer who is approachable and approachable, stayed at the poetry reading meeting for two hours at a time. As more and more people came to the activity room, it seemed like a meeting with readers.

When the new students saw this posture, they were a little confused and asked who this was. Others answered that it was Yu Hua. Then the confused expressions faded and were replaced by the same excitement as the others.

Yu Dong was also happy and relaxed. He and Cheng Yanqiu found a corner and quietly watched Yu Hua's performance.

"Didn't you say that Yu Hua is quite shy? It's hard to tell." Cheng Yanqiu asked Yu Dong with a smile.

"Every man stumbles, and a horse stumbles."

Cheng Yanqiu looked at Yu Hua who was surrounded by everyone, and said: "I feel that after Yu Hua comes, it will be very beneficial to you. From now on, everyone's attention will not only be on you."

"And Bi Feiyu."

"Yes, there is also Teacher Bi."

Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Dong whispered to Cheng Yanqiu: "When my mother called last night, she also mentioned that she was going to visit your parents."
