Chapter 88 "October" is almost meaningless(1/2)

Another day, Tao Yumo finished his college entrance examination and returned home cheering.

The big event of the college entrance examination is over, and Tao Yumo, a senior high school student, is finally completely liberated.

After dinner, she was planning how to travel around the land of Yanzhao during this summer vacation. Suddenly she heard a vague mechanical sound coming from the next room. She listened for a while and then ran to the door to listen. Unexpectedly, the door opened.

was pulled away from the inside.

"If you want to listen, just listen openly and be sneaky!"

Tao Yumo didn't care at all about his sister's harsh words, his eyes kept looking into the room, and finally locked on the brick-sized box on the desk.

She ran to the desk with a curious look on her face, "Sister, what is this? A radio?"

"It doesn't have a radio function, it can be used for both broadcasting and recording. Your brother-in-law bought it for me."

Tao Yumo shouted in surprise: "My brother-in-law bought it for you?"

As she spoke, she picked up the recorder and looked at it carefully, with a greedy look in her eyes.

"How much did it cost?"

"Two hundred dollars!"

Tao Yushu came immediately and raised the price more than ten times, fearing that the girl would become coveted.

Sure enough, Tao Yumo was stunned when he heard this figure, "Two hundred yuan? It's too expensive!"

He said this, but the love on his face did not diminish at all.

For such a small and exquisite player and recorder, it is only natural that it should be more expensive.

The key is that even if you have money now, you can't buy such good things. There is a price but no market, and rare goods can be lived in.

"Your brother-in-law sees that I am slow in learning English. I don't even know. Otherwise, there is nothing I can do to get him to buy it for me. It's too expensive!"

Tao Yumo silently swallowed the dog food spread by his sister, "It's a bit expensive, but it also has its advantages."

She imagined how embarrassing it would be if she showed up at school with this recorder!

It’s a pity that the college entrance examination is over!

"What are you thinking about?" Tao Yushu was keenly aware of his sister's dangerous thoughts.

"Nothing." Tao Yumo said perfunctorily, and then glanced at the boxes of tapes on the desk, "Teresa Teng?"

She happily picked up the tape and said, "Sister, where did you get it?"

"Your brother-in-law bought the tape recorder while buying it."

"Brother-in-law is really clever. This tape is not easy to get rid of." Tao Yumo held the tape and recorder tightly in his hands, staring at his sister with burning eyes.

Tao Yushu knew what she was thinking without having to guess, "Don't think about it, this is what I use to learn English."

"Sister~"

Tao Yushu looked impatient, "There's no point in calling me sister. I told you it's for study, not for you to play with!"

"What does playing mean? I also want to learn English. Sister, my good sister~"

Tao Yumo used the method of coquettishness, which was exactly the same as Tao Yushu usually treated Lin Chaoyang.

Tao Yushu was helpless by her and said, "I'll lend it to you when I don't need it anymore."

"Okay!" Tao Yumo agreed.

My sister can't study English all day long. She can't study English for two or three hours a day. The rest of the time is all hers?

After receiving her sister's promise, Tao Yumo did not leave. He watched his sister play the words and phrases on the tape over and over again, and recited them with great interest.

"I just heard something moving in your house!"

Tao Yucheng knocked on the door and came in. When he saw the record player on Tao Yu's desk, he also looked novel. After asking about the origin of the thing, he shouted outside the house: "Dad, Mom, Chaoyang bought a record player for Yushu, you guys?"

Look!"

Tao's father and Tao's mother were not as young as Tao Yucheng, but they still came over to take a look. They were a little surprised when Tao Yushu said that he had bought it for two hundred yuan.

Apart from the TV set, this little brick in front of them was probably the most expensive thing in their home.

The son-in-law was willing to spend 200 yuan to buy such a learning tool for his daughter. Tao's father and Tao's mother's eyes showed a bit of joy.

Lin Chaoyang secretly said to Tao Yushu when no one was around: "You said you spent 200 yuan on something you bought for more than ten yuan, how dare you shout?"

"Not to mention it's more expensive, can you believe it that Yu Mo and the two little ones can dismantle this thing in two days?"

Lin Chaoyang had to admit that his wife was indeed more considerate than him.

"When I have the opportunity in the future, I will buy you the latest model!" Lin Chaoyang said.

Tao Yushu smiled like a flower, "This is very good. It's for learning, not for showing off. Why spend that money?"

Lin Chaoyang held her hand, "What a good wife! Good wife, you see Yu Mo has also finished the college entrance examination..."

"I knew you had bad intentions!" Tao Yushu said in disgust, but did not let go of his hand.

"Sister!" The door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and the girl said "Oops" and covered her eyes.

Tao Yushu shouted angrily: "Expose the gaps between your fingers more!"

Tao Yumo put down his perfunctory hand and said with a blushing face: "Sister, brother-in-law, dad said he would go to Quanjude to eat roast duck on the weekend!"

Quanjude?

Lin Chaoyang instantly thought of the red brick floor-to-ceiling oven and the "ten yuan a piece" menu.

My father-in-law is so heroic. I want to take action against Quanjude. This meal must not cost him one month’s salary?

"knew!"

Tao Yumo understood what his sister meant. These three words clearly said: Kneel down!

She exited the house obediently and closed the door behind her.

"This girl!" Tao Yushu laughed angrily.

On this day, Liu Xinwu ran to the library and asked about Lin Chaoyang's novel.

"It will be handed over to the army. It will take less than half a month. It is estimated that the result will not be so soon." Lin Chaoyang said to Liu Xinwu.

Liu Xinwu was a little disappointed and told Lin Chaoyang to inform him after getting permission from the army and he would come over to pick up the manuscript.

Zhang Dening had to deliver the manuscript himself. Looking at Lao Liu, given his attitude, it would be inappropriate not to give the manuscript to him.

"Definitely, don't worry."

Before leaving, Liu Xinwu gave Lin Chaoyang a copy of the just-published "October". His article "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature" was published in this issue.

"Thank you, Old Liu."

Look at what others have done, Comrade Dening still needs to make progress!

When he returned home in the evening, Lin Chaoyang showed this issue of "October" to Tao Yushu.

"Look at this!"

Tao Yushu thought that Lin Chaoyang was showing off that his article had been published, but when he opened the magazine, he found that his name was among them.

"This..." Tao Yushu was stunned by the sudden surprise.

"How is it?" Lin Chaoyang looked proud.

Tao Yushu was full of questions, "Why did you sign my name?"

"You also helped me a lot with this article. Of course I have to sign my name. Otherwise, wouldn't I become a person who deceives the world and steals my reputation?"

Listening to her husband's explanation, Tao Yushu was so excited for this little surprise that she threw herself into her husband's arms.

On the third day after Liu Xinwu came to see Lin Chaoyang, Du Feng rode his bicycle to Tao's house.

"Brother-in-law, I have confidence in your novel."

"So soon?" Lin Chaoyang thought it would take a month less.

"They are all in Yanjing City, and there is no need to mail them. All manuscripts are sent to 212." Du Feng explained.

"What's the opinion above?"

Du Feng did not answer his words, "Please come with me to the military area."

"good."

The two came to the military compound, and Lin Chaoyang met his uncle Du Ruolin again.

"I don't have any opinions on the novel."

No comments?

Lin Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that no opinion was the best opinion, which proved that the novel had passed the review.

"But there is a request from above."

"What request?"

"The publication level in which your novel is published cannot be too low."
