In 1977, apart from being divided into houses, which was a good thing for Xiang Nan, there were several other good things that made him happy.

First, various periodicals and magazines have resumed publication one after another, such as "Yenjing Literature and Art", "Contemporary Novels", "World Literature", "Shanghai and Jiangxi Literature and Art", etc.

The remuneration system has also been restored. It stipulates that the original manuscript is 2 to 7 yuan per 1,000 words, and the translated manuscript is 1 to 5 yuan. This is a low remuneration. Because in the 1960s, the standard remuneration standard was 3 to 10 yuan for original manuscripts and 2 to 7 yuan for translated manuscripts.

.

Ten years have passed, and not only has there been no improvement, but it has fallen down a level.

But even so, for people like Xiang Nan who are extremely productive and can write 10,000 to 20,000 words a day, it has become possible to make money from manuscripts. Even if a thousand words are four yuan, you can earn 50 or 60 yuan a day, which is equivalent to

His monthly salary income.

The second is that cultural restrictions are gradually loosened. Previous novels, movies, and dramas all had to follow the principle of "Three Prominences" to highlight the heroic figures of workers, peasants, and soldiers, and they also faced strict review.

After entering 1977, censorship was gradually relaxed. Many subjects that could not be written or touched before can now be written about, giving Xiang Nan a sense of freedom from the shackles, freeing himself from restraints, and dancing to his heart's content.

He first sent a novella "Our Field" to "People's Literature". This story tells the story of educated youths going to the countryside, taking root in the countryside, and experiencing hardships and growth in a dangerous natural environment.

This novel is written relatively conservatively. It tries to express the experience of educated youth objectively and impartially, without deliberately beautifying or criticizing it. Unlike other works, it has a pessimistic and sad attitude towards the educated youth going to the countryside.

Xiang Nan plans to use this work as a stepping stone, and it would be best if it can be published. If it cannot be published, he will write leisurely in the future. After the policy is greatly liberalized, he will consider loosening the restrictions.

…

"Xiaoli, this is the house assigned to me by the factory, isn't it good?" Xiang Nan stood in the neat and clean room and smiled.

"Not bad, of course not bad." Cai Xiaoli nodded repeatedly.

They have a family of six, and now they only have three rooms. When my father was still alive, the five sisters slept together on the same kang. They could all hear clearly, grinding their teeth, farting, snoring, and talking in their sleep. Not to mention how irritated they were.

.

Unlike Xiang Nan, he lives in a unit by himself, which is spacious and comfortable. It's really great.

"Jianjun, I really envy you~" Cai Xiaoli said again.

"Don't be envious, this is my house, and it's also your house." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You can also move here in the future."

"What are you talking about, disgusting~" Cai Xiaoli blushed and said coquettishly.

"Hey, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that if you are tired from working overtime at night and are too lazy to ride home, you can just come here and spend the night." Xiang Nan explained.

"That's not appropriate. If it spreads, it will make people laugh." Cai Xiaoli said shyly.

Today's social atmosphere is still very conservative. Young men and women who are dating would not dare to hold hands while walking on the road, let alone sleep in the same room.

"Who knows how to laugh, who dares to laugh, and what to laugh at?" Xiang Nan curled his lips, "We are dating, is it abnormal to be together? Unless you don't want to."

"Jianjun, don't get me wrong, of course I am willing." Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaoli quickly expressed her stance, "You didn't even go to the Poetry Magazine for me. How could I not know how much you care about me?

?

I'm just worried that if the news gets out, it will affect your reputation. In that case, I will actually harm you."

"Don't worry, it's okay. The government advocates freedom of love and autonomy in marriage. We are together and don't offend anyone. Can anyone else care about it?" Xiang Nan said, holding her hand.

Cai Xiaoli nodded after hearing this.

…

One night two days later, Cai Xiaoli did not go home after working overtime at night, but chose to live in Xiang Nan's house.

When I sleep in spring, I don't realize the dawn. I can hear the singing of birds everywhere. The sound of wind and rain comes at night, and I know how many flowers have fallen.

After breaking through the last layer of barriers, the relationship between Xiang Nan and Cai Xiaoli has grown rapidly and increased day by day. Their love is as strong as gold, as glue as paint, and it is difficult to break them apart.

Cai Xiaoli's mother, Zhang Xiulan, did not object when she learned about her daughter and Xiang Nan. Instead, she strongly supported it.

In her opinion, Xiang Nan's son-in-law is really great. He is young, promising, motivated, and has huge future potential that should not be underestimated. Of course, a son-in-law like this must be bound as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will be robbed in the blink of an eye.

Walk.

So not only did she not beat the couple, but she also encouraged them to live together.

In the 1970s, social atmosphere was still relatively conservative.

If Xiang Nan dares to start chaos and end up abandoning it, playing with emotions, then he will be ruined and a fate that will be criticized by everyone. Therefore, it is more beneficial to his daughter to get on the bus first and pay for the ticket later.

…

After moving to the factory, Xiang Nan transferred all the used car business to Han Chunming.

Chunming has the skills to repair cars and has a business acumen, but due to limited connections and insufficient supply of old bicycles, this business cannot be done.

After Xiang Nan transferred his supply to him, Chunming became trembling.

You can repair a bicycle in two or three days. You can earn 10 yuan per bicycle, which means you can earn 150 yuan a month. Including wages and the money for flipping eggs, you can earn more than the factory director.

The bicycles repaired by Chunming were then handed over to Cui Weihong by Xiang Nan, and Cai Xiaoli sold them, and everyone made a fortune together. They all enjoyed themselves and drank spicy food.

In comparison, Su Meng, who lives in the same hospital, still has no job and is bored at home all day. It is estimated that it will take a while for her hair to grow.

Su Jingxuan and Liu Lanzhi sighed every day.

They have no idea about their daughter's career and are thinking about marrying off their daughter. Maybe they can find a powerful and well-backed husband who can help their daughter fulfill her wish.

After all, my daughter's conditions are pretty good. She is young, beautiful, graduated from high school, and has been a scholar for generations. She is still very attractive to young men.

After coming up with this idea, they secretly started planning it without discussing it with their daughter.

They knew that their daughter was arrogant and self-reliant. She had long said that she did not want her parents to interfere in her marriage, so they definitely did not agree to the blind date.

So they thought it would be nice to let the young man have contact with their daughter first, just in case they felt something.

So a few days later, young men began to come to the door.

…

Xiang Nan has not lived at home since he was assigned a room.

I go home at most once a week. When I have free time, I also create in the dormitory.

He heard that Su Meng was on a blind date, but Chunming was the one nagging her.

Although Chunming has not spoken to Su Meng for more than a year, he has not forgotten Su Meng and has always been thinking about her.

Because of this, when I heard that Su Meng had started a blind date, Chunming was completely excited.

"If she goes on a blind date, what should I do?" he said painfully.

"If she can really succeed in the blind date, then I would like to congratulate you, your life is finally free." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "If you think about it carefully, what is so good about Su Meng? She has high ambitions but low ambitions, is selfish, and selfish.

Arrogant and willful...such a young lady, only you think she is a treasure."

"You are not allowed to say that about her." Chunming said unhappily upon hearing this.
