Chapter 078.
The next day when she got up, after sending the children home, Zhen Zhen found her essay paper and carefully copied her finalized essay onto it.
After copying her essay, she carefully wrote an application to join the club.
She had been practicing her handwriting since she first learned how to write, and now her writing was beautiful.
The black fountain pen characters were neatly arranged in a square grid, just looking at them was pleasing to the eyes.
After copying the essay and writing her name on the application form, Jenny carefully put the paper into her bag and left for school at the right time.
As she pushed her bicycle out the door, she greeted Zhong Minfen with, “Mom, I’m going to school.”
When she arrived at school, she first went to the back of the classroom and sat down to listen to the lesson.
After class, she went to the office of the Literature Club and handed in the articles she had written and her application to the president.
When she came out, she bumped into Ye Manlin.
When Ye Manlin learned that she wanted to join the Literature Club, he said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I have a good relationship with the president of the club, so I’ll introduce you to him, we all love literature and want to communicate and learn from each other.”
Zhen Zhen smiled, “I didn’t know anything before, and I was too embarrassed to mention it.”
Ye Manlin: “Then if you need any help in the future, tell me directly.”
Zhen Zhen politely said, “Okay, thank you.”
Zhen Zhen didn’t stay in the school for long, and went home after finishing her business.
The next day, she rushed over at the time of the class, sat down in the classroom and listened to the lesson, and when she had a question, she would go to the teacher to share her confusion, and after solving the problem, she would feel a kind of happiness in her heart.
In the middle of class, after asking questions, I returned to my seat and sat down.
Zhen Zhen just dragged a chair and sat down, Ye Manlin suddenly turned to her and said: “The president has approved you to join the Literature Club, from now on you will be a member of the Literature Club, I will notify you of any activities in the club.”
Zhen Zhen couldn’t help but be happy to hear this, “Really?”
Ye Manlin nodded and said, “Yes, the president said that your writing is very good, the strokes and feelings are very delicate.”
Zhen Zhen is even happier to hear this, her eyes light up slightly as she says to Ye Manlin, “Thank you so much.”
Ye Manlin looked at her and couldn’t help but smile, “It’s your own literary talent, I’m just passing on a message.”
Zhen Zhen politely said, “Then thank you too, for conveying this good news to me.”
Before Ye Manlin could continue to say anything else, the class bell rang.
Zhen Zhen tried to collect the smile on her face, but after a while the bottom of her eyes and the corners of her mouth were still full of smiles.
After the class she went home, stepping on the pedalboard are brisk movements.
The late fall wind was a little cool on her face, but the sun seemed warmer today.

At the dining table, Zhen Zhen smiled and passed a small spoon into each of Dan Sui Dan Tong and Xing Yu’s hands.
Dan Sui takes the small spoon and eats a mouthful of rice first, then looks at Zhen Zhen and asks, “Mom, why are you so happy today?”
Zhen Zhen’s happiness was all over her face, and of course Dan Sui wasn’t the only one who could see it, Zhong Min Fen and Servant Huai Ming could also see it.
After Dan Sui asked, the family all looked at Zhen Zhen, waiting for her to say something happy.
Zhen Zhen cleared her throat and said with a smile, “Mom joined the school’s literature club.”
Dan Sui Dan Tong Xing Yu and Zhong Min Fen didn’t understand, and Dan Sui continued to be the spokesperson, asking, “What’s the Literature Club?”
Naturally, Squire Huai Ming didn’t need to explain.
He smiled and chucked a large piece of chicken into Zhen Zhen’s bowl, saying first, “Give a reward.”
After giving Zhen Zhen a reward, he acted as Zhen Zhen’s spokesperson and explained to Dan Sui and the others, “The Literature Club is a club in the university, where people who are interested in literature get together and organize some activities to exchange ideas and learn.”
In fact, Dan Sui and Zhong Minfen still didn’t understand much.
But they took it as understood and nodded at Shi Huai Ming.
Dan Sui suddenly also scooped up a piece of meat with a small spoon and sent it to Zhen Zhen’s bowl saying, “Reward mom.”
Zhen Zhen accepted the reward and said, “Thank you Spike for the reward.”
Seeing that both Shi Huai Ming and Dan Sui had rewarded Zhen Zhen, Dantong and Xing Yu naturally followed suit and wanted to be rewarded as well.
So the two dolls also reached out to scoop up some vegetables and gave them to Zhen Zhen, saying the same thing in their little milky voices, “Reward mushy mommy.”
Zhen Zhen smiled even more happily.
In a brittle voice, she replies with another, “Thank you, everyone!”
***
Jen was so happy all day that the smile on her face didn’t fade by the time she went to bed at night.
It was as if she had seen another possibility in life and had another hope in her heart, so she felt wonderful.
Feeling good to go to sleep, after falling asleep, the dream is also very good.
When I woke up, my spirit was a hundred times better than before.
In the afternoon, I went to the school and sat down to listen to the lessons, more focused and serious.
The classes she took were not limited to any one specialty, so the students who took the classes with her were not fixed to any one specialty.
Of course, she didn’t care who was in the class with her, she was mainly interested in the course.
There were no questions to be exchanged between classes, so she didn’t talk to anyone, and looked through her book by herself.
As she was looking at it, she suddenly heard someone outside the classroom call out to her, “Lin Zhen Zhen.”
Zhen Zhen turned her head to look, only to see that it was Ye Manlin standing outside the back door of the classroom, waving at her.
Zhen Zhen got up and went out, simply asking him, “Is there something wrong?”
Ye Manlin looked at her and asked, “Did you read today’s Wen Wei Po in Shencheng?”
Zhen Zhen does read newspapers, but she reads more of the People’s Daily and the local newspapers in Xicheng.
She shook her head at Ye Manlin, “I didn’t read this.”
Ye Manlin didn’t explain too much, directly handed the newspaper to her and told her, “Take a look, the Literature Club is organizing a small exchange meeting in the office at seven in the evening, so you can come along too.”
She had just joined the club, and if there were activities, she definitely had to cooperate and participate.
Zhen Zhen didn’t say much, answered and reached out to take the newspaper, “Then I’ll take a look first.”
Ye Manlin finished delivering the newspaper to her and left after delivering the message.
The class bell rang just in time, and Zhen Zhen took the newspaper back to the classroom and put it away to listen to the class first.
After class, she didn’t take the newspaper out and look through it immediately, but packed up her things and went home first.

Even though she had an event to attend in the evening, she had to go home first and just ride over after dinner.
After arriving home and eating dinner, Zhen Zhen handed the child over to Shi Huai Ming and Zhong Min Fen to take him to wash up.
She told Shi Huai Ming, “I’m going to the school later to attend the Literature Club’s exchange mini-meeting, I have to read the newspaper first.”
Servant Huai Ming answered and then asked one more time, “What newspaper to read?”
Zhen Zhen directly held the newspaper up for him to see, then suddenly remembered something and muttered, “You didn’t tell me which article to focus on, is it discussing the whole newspaper?”
Seeing the name of the newspaper, Servant Huai Ming’s brows sank a little.
He reached out and picked up Zhen Zhen’s newspaper, found a certain article, placed it on the writing table, and pointed it out to Zhen Zhen, “If there’s no surprise, it should be this one.”
Zhen Zhen looked to the newspaper headline in large letters and read in a low voice: “Review of the new historical drama ‘Hai Rui Strikes Down the Office’……”
After reading it with some curiosity, she tilted her head to look at Servant Huai Ming, “What’s wrong with this article?”
Serving Huai Ming did not say in detail, only said, “You look at it, I feel ……”
Saying this and stopping, he didn’t say the following words again, and didn’t bother Zhen Zhen again, but let her read the newspaper.
Zhen Zhen suspiciously watched Squire Huai Ming go out, then retracted her gaze to read the newspaper.
After reading the article, she naturally understood why Shui Huai Ming was so hesitant to speak, because this article was not an ordinary critical article, but had strong political colors.
After reading the article, Zhen Zhen fumed for a long time without speaking.
Probably because she was a bit old, and usually did not pay special attention to such political matters, so she did not have any unique and complete views to express, but she still loaded up the newspaper and went to school.
Jen arrived at the Literature Club’s office ten minutes earlier than the allotted time.
Because she was a new member of the club who had just joined yesterday, Jen didn’t say much throughout the little exchange meeting.
She sat silently in a corner seat and watched these kids passionately express their opinions with righteous indignation and frothing at the mouth.
After the exchange session was over, she silently followed everyone out of the office.
Ye Manlin came over to talk to her and asked, “Aren’t you still a little uncomfortable with this form of exchange?”
Zhen Zhen nodded her head, “It’s true that I don’t have much experience.”
At this time, it was already dark outside.
Ye Manlin said to Zhen Zhen, “It’s not safe for you to go back alone at this hour of the night, why don’t I give you a ride?”
Zhen Zhen was not afraid, politely refused: “It’s okay, I ride a bike very quickly.”
Ye Manlin did not insist on sending Zhen Zhen back, but still a little uneasy to send her to the school gate.
Watching Zhen Zhen push the bicycle out, he also turned back, to the student dormitory.
Zhen Zhen pushed the bicycle out of the school’s gate, walked a few steps just to start to get on the car, suddenly saw not far away from the night there is a tall figure.
After a little careful discernment, Zhen Zhen recognized that it was Shui Huai Ming.
Somewhat surprised, Zhen Zhen directly pushed the car and jogged to him, asking him, “Why are you here?”
Shi Huai Ming took the handlebars of the bike from her hand, “Of course I came to pick you up and take you home.”
Zhen Zhen was happy and climbed straight onto the back seat of the bike.
Servant Huai Ming stepped on the pedals and rode the bike on the road, walking a short distance and asked Zhen Zhen, “Are you discussing that article?”
Zhen Zhen held onto his waist and responded, “Yes, but I didn’t say anything.”
The moon was shining lightly, Shui Huai Ming spoke in a low voice, “I don’t know the specifics of the situation here, and I don’t know how it will develop next, so it’s always right to say less, and see how the other newspapers react next.”
Zhen Zhen let out a hmm, and Shi Huai Ming did not say anything more about this.
The two of them, clad in the moonlight, chatting about some of the trivial matters at home and at school, this is a small romance belonging to two people.
***
Regarding the subsequent development of that article, Zhen Zhen was paying attention to it just like everyone else in the Literature Club.
But Jen didn’t go and get involved in it, didn’t write any relevant articles, and didn’t express any attitudinally distinct opinions.
After she joined the Literature Club, she only held the initial intention to seriously study what she was interested in.
With the platform of the Literature Club and the people she could communicate with and discuss with, she became more motivated and passionate about writing, and she studied and tried every genre, whether it was prose, novels, or poems, and she would study and practice them.
The school newspaper has a column for the Literature Club, and the best articles selected by the club are published in the column.
Of course, you can also submit your own articles to newspapers and magazines outside the school, which requires better writing.
Jen’s first small goal in joining the Literature Club was, naturally, to write for the school newspaper.
After two months of study and hard work, Jenny’s landscape essay made it into the Literature Club column of the school newspaper.
After class that afternoon, she put the school newspaper in her bag and carried it home with joy.
When she went to the nursery class to bring up her children, Li Shuang and Ah Wen asked her, “You’ve got something to be happy about, don’t you?”
Zhen Zhen was naturally embarrassed to let her friends know that she was writing about something, and especially embarrassed to let her friends read what she had written; just thinking about it alone made her blush with embarrassment, so she covered her face and said, “Nothing special.”
Being on the school newspaper was really not that big of a deal.
Zhen Zhen had scruples in front of Li Shuang and Ah Wen, but she didn’t have to worry about anything in front of Servant Huai Ming.
After putting the dolls to bed at night, she took out the school newspaper and waved it in front of Shui Huaiming, looking at him and saying, “Guess what happy thing I’m going to tell you?”
Shi Huai Ming directly reached out and took the newspaper, “It’s in the paper?”
Zhen Zhen sat down in front of him, her smile tinted honey, “It’s just that it’s in the school newspaper.”
Servant Huai Ming saw her article, and after reading it, he smiled and said, “It seems our family is going to have a great writer.”
Zhen Zhen wasn’t embarrassed, and smiled as she told Shui Huaiming about her next plan, “I’m going to continue to work on my manuscript, and submit it to those newspapers and magazines outside of the school, there should be a fee for those, right?”
Shi Huai Ming nodded, “If those newspapers and magazines accept the manuscript, they all have a fee.”
Zhen Zhen: “If we really make money, I’ll invite you out to a restaurant.”
Servant Huai Ming: “Then I’ll be waiting.”
After expressing her joy, Zhen Zhen had to go wash up.
When she got up to go out, she said to Servant Huai Ming: “I’ve written a new article in my book in the past two days, the book is in my bag, I’ll go wash up first, then you can take a look at it for me and give me some advice.”
Servant Huai Ming answered the voice.
Waiting for Zhen Zhen to go out, he took out the book from Zhen Zhen’s bag.
As soon as he opened the book, a piece of letter paper suddenly fell out from between the pages of the book.
The letter paper fell to the ground and Servant Huai Ming bent down to pick it up.
He didn’t think much about it and directly unfolded the neatly folded letter paper.
When he unfolded it and saw a few words on the starting line, he suddenly froze for a moment.
Eyes descending, he read all the words on the letter paper and then cleared his throat heavily.
He sat still after reading the letter paper and waited for Zhen Zhen to come back before turning his head a little.
Zhen Zhen closed the door and looked at him and asked, “How was this writing?”
Servant Huai Ming cleared his throat heavily again, brewed for a moment and said, “Xiaolin student, come here for a moment.”
The address and tone of voice were strange, Zhen Zhen walked over in front of Servant Huai Ming and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
When Zhen Zhen sat down in front of her, Servant Huai Ming sent the piece of letter paper to her.
Zhen Zhen received the letter paper with a puzzled gaze and looked at the words on it to read in a low voice, “Student Lin, how are you ……”
She was still able to read in the front, and after reading two lines, she suddenly lost her voice.
She lifted her gaze to look at Shi Huai Ming, then lowered her gaze again to continue reading, pursing her lips until she finished the letter.
Although the letter looked like it was written in a normal manner, one could still feel a hidden sense of affection between the lines.
After Zhen Zhen finished reading the letter, she also cleared her throat heavily.
She put the letter down and looked at Serving Huai Ming and said, “There shouldn’t be any other meanings, right, I am so much older than them ……”
Servant Huai Ming looks at her and smiles a little, “I’m going to take a shower first, when I come back afterward, we’ll talk again.”
Zhen Zhen: “……”
Why does she think he’s smiling in a weird creepy way?
What to do? How about she runs off to sleep with Zhong Minfen now?
