Chapter 62: Maggie's Gift
Chapter 62: Maggie's Gift
""
Lin Yuan's answer once shattered some of Huang Benyu's long-standing cognition, but he suddenly felt relieved when he thought that there was a more enchanting Gu Xi in the school.
This is a good thing.
This shows that our school is full of talents.
In fact, there is no professional ear like Huang Benyu, and I absolutely cannot taste how mature Lin Yuans skills are. The students in the class can only draw a conclusion that is not bad
Lin Yuan plays the piano very well.
But after Lin Yuanxiu performed a song, Huang Benyu no longer said "I am not targeting anyone, I am talking about how everyone here is", such a wide-ranging and indiscriminate attack.
In the next piano class, Huang Benyus speech has a routine prefix:
"Except for Lin Yuan, you have to remember this knowledge point."
"Except for Lin Yuan, I believe no one else will understand why this is done here."
"Except for Lin Yuan, everyone should practice this piece after class, especially the last part."
"Except for Lin Yuan..."
Anyway, after a piano lesson, the six words "except for Lin Yuan" have almost become Huang Benyu's mantra.
Probably it is hope in Huang Benyu's heart. It is best for Lin Yuan to be the same as Gu Xi and not to come to piano lessons.
He is willing to give credits!
And Lin Yuans peaceful campus life will not change just because he showed off in piano lessons.
If there is any change, it is probably that he is more popular in the class.
also.
Poor body, good personality, handsome, hard-working, and good at playing the piano. Its hard for someone to hate such a good student with a good personality.
Actually.
When Lin Yuan first transferred to the composition department, the classmates thought that Lin Yuan was very cold, but after everyone got in touch, no one felt that Lin Yuan was cold anymore
Fewer words and high coldness are two concepts. This boy just doesn't like to talk.
The next day.
Lin Yuan, as always, does not like to talk, and as always, studies hard. His professional class scores have completely kept up with the progress, and he is no longer affected by the sudden transfer of sophomore.
And in such a peaceful day, March came unknowingly.
At this time when it was warm and cold, the weather in March was still cold, making people want to get out of the bed easily.
The flavour of the new year fades at this time.
The latest issue of "Net King" is still selling well.
was also released on March 1st, and also published in the magazine "Fun", as well as Chu Kuangs new work
Short story "The Gift of Maggie".
Lin Yuan also received a few sets of sample journals from Yinlan Library for free on this day.
defines a sample journal as a newspaper that publishes the authors work freely provided by the newspaper editorial department to the author after the authors work is published, and providing the sample journal is the obligation of the newspaper to the author.
got the sample issue of "Interesting Reading".
Lin Yuan saw that "The Gift of Magi" was placed on the most prominent propaganda position on the cover of the magazine, and the four characters "Chu Kuang's New Works" suddenly came into view.
This represents the importance the editors place on this story.
However, the publicity effect of "Chu Kuang's New Works" is actually not great, because the users who like to buy "Fun Reading" magazine do not overlap much with those who like youth fantasy novels.
Chu Kuang is famous for his youth fantasy novels.
If you are not caught up in youth fantasy novels, some buyers of "Interesting Reading" don't even know who Chu Kuang is, but many people will look forward to the story of the cover promotion after seeing the cover promotion.
Han Jimei is the operation officer of tribal literature, that is, the person in charge of the tribal literature section. Her future goal and task is to make the tribal literature section a fragmented reading and leisure base for users to generate habits.
As a woman who loves to read, she likes her job very much and has the habit of subscribing to some magazines every month.
Qinzhou best-selling magazines are all high quality.
There are always many excellent short stories on it.
Its not that Han Jimei doesnt like long stories. Its just that for a busy professional woman like her, the time needed to read long stories is really extravagant. Short stories are short, so they wont be too long.
Today is the beginning of March.
Various books have new days, so this months magazine Han Jimi bought six copies, but the first issue that caught her attention was the latest issue of the best-selling magazine "Fun Reading".
is not how much she likes "Fun Reading".
It is because of the cover of this magazine that Chu Kuangs new work is being promoted.
You should know that Chu Kuang wrote a short story in tribal literature last month with very good response.
The story called "Artificial Beauty" is really cleverly conceived. It is a rare masterpiece.
Han Jimei was still expecting Chu Kuang to write some new short stories in the tribes literary section. Unexpectedly, Chu Kuang has now completely shifted his position and ran to the "Interesting Reading" series.
"Look at what you wrote this time."
Although it is a pity in my heart, Chu Kuang did not continue to choose the tribe as the release platform, but Han Jimei is still curious about what Chu Kuang wrote in this new work.
directly turned over the first few short stories.
Han Jimei first read "The Gift of Maggie".
Many people may not understand the meaning of "maggie's gift" and thought that the protagonist of the story would be called Maggie, but Han Jimei, as a reader with high reading volume, knows that the protagonist of the story is mostly not called Maggie
This is related to Wei Zhous Christmas legend.
Qinzhou also has Christmas, but Christmas is not a mainstream holiday in Qinzhou, and there is even no holiday. Qinzhou people are more just happy about this holiday.
Weizhou is different ~ They have the habit of having Christmas, and many people believe in Christ. Legend has it that when **** was born, three wise wise men sent gifts, and they have been there ever since. The custom of giving gifts at Christmas-
This should be the origin of the title.
At this time, Han Jimei began to read: "Tomorrow is Christmas, Mrs. A has only three eight cents to buy a gift for her husband. It is obvious that she saves a few months and saves everything she can save, but only This point.
was called Mrs. A?
Chu Kuang's name is too lazy.
Han Jimei complained inwardly, but understood the first paragraph of the story.
This is a woman who is living in distress. She is counting the few change in her hands over and over again, worrying about what gift to give her husband tomorrow Christmas.
The background of the story should have been many years ago.
At that time, the value of currency was still very high.
But obviously three yuan is not much.
She suddenly turned around from the window, stood in front of the wall mirror and looked at herself inside. At this time, her eyes were sparkling and bright, but her face lost its color within twenty seconds. She quickly untied her hair and let it fall.
What is she going to do?
Han Jimi guessed Mrs. A's intentions.
With rich reading experience, she even made some exaggerated associations. For example, Mrs. A sold her body for money, and the first customer she met was her husband.
It's not that Han Jimei is unhealthy.
In some special times, it is not uncommon for someone to sell their body for the sake of life. Chu Kuang may want to restore the cruel side of that era, but if it is just for Christmas gifts...
Is the reason too far-fetched?
