Zhou Zhi looked at the phone and put the receiver aside. It was not until five or six minutes passed that he put the receiver back on the phone.

As soon as I put it on, the phone rang immediately. Zhou Zhi picked up the phone again and said in low Mandarin: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Hey! Elbow! Huh? Is this Zhou Zhi's house?"

Zhou Zhi said nothing.

"Hey! Hey! Did a kid call you just now? Not a kid, high school! A high school student of fifteen or sixteen years old, hey, hey!"

Zhou Zhi covered his mouth and laughed so hard: "Brother Zhu, this is my home phone number."

"Hey, you brat, I'm so worried! Why was the line always busy just now?"

"I went to the bathroom and didn't put my phone away."

"...! Forget it, where can I get this book?"

"Bullshit! Don't you know the dormitory of the Sugar and Wine Company?"

"Oh, brother, how dare I go there?! We have to find another place!"

"Hahaha, did you hang up the phone so quickly just now?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother, please give me a place, give me a place, and be there immediately!"

"Don't drive too fast, and pay attention to safety on the road. I don't want the sixth lady to watch over my family."

"Elbow, brother, please stop making trouble..."

"Then let's go to the gas transmission station. It's on the outskirts of the city. There's Anleshan Primary School next to it, next to the highway from Manzhou."

"good!"

Zhou Zhi paused again, making sure that the other party didn't hang up first this time, and then put the phone down.

Humph! If I can’t cure you, I know you’ll come back again!

Putting the notebook in his schoolbag, Zhou Zhi opened the picture frame and took out the bottom plate, and handed it to grandma along with the crane embroidery sample: "Grandma, Mr. Yu will change the crane this year."

Grandma opened the embroidery pattern on the blue satin bottom and stroked the embroidery on it with her experienced hands: "It's a pity that your Aunt Yu's skills are not preserved..."

Zhou Zhi picked up his schoolbag: "Grandma, I'm going to the plane's house."

"Will you come back for lunch?"

"I shouldn't come back. There's still plenty of cold rice at home. I've had enough for lunch. I'll wait for dad to come back and cook."

"then you go."

After going out and calling for a fire trip, Zhou Zhi spent two yuan and went to Anleshan Township Primary School on the outskirts of the city.

The rural environment is beautiful, surrounded by green bamboos. Across the road is the gas transmission station. Next to it is a large fish pond. There is a small road between the fish pond and the gas transmission station, which is the road to Anle Mountain.

Jiachuan has been a county since the Han Dynasty. Anle Mountain is a mountain peak on the outskirts of the city. The scenery on the mountain is beautiful, and there are many cliff carvings. There was also an immortal named Liu Zhen who had his cultivation cave and a stone platform for drying elixirs.

Dad said that when he was a child, he often collected firewood and picked mushrooms at the foot of Anle Mountain.

From the highway to the rural primary school, you have to go up a small slope through more than a dozen stone steps. Wei Fei's mother was cutting bamboo by the bamboo forest at the school gate on the top of the small slope. She saw the figure at the bottom of the stone staircase: "Zhou Zhi is here?! Come on!"

Come up!"

After saying that, he turned around and shouted towards the school gate: "Wei Fei, Wei Yi, Zhou Zhi is here!"

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Zhou Zhi shouted as he walked.

"I bought a batch of chickens and made a chicken cage! Why don't you wait for Wei Fei to come pick you up and say you just had an operation?"

"Minor surgery, not so delicate!" By the time Wei Fei and his sister walked out, Zhou Zhi was already halfway gone.

"Hey, why are you here?" Wei Fei is severely short-sighted and wears glasses every day. He was very happy to see Zhou Zhi come to the door, and stood on the steps of the school gate with a smile to say hello.

Wei Yi pushed his brother, but Wei Fei didn't move. He even shouted, "Has the monk entered the city?"

"No, it should be soon!" Zhou Zhi replied from below.

Wei Yi hurriedly came down to help Zhou Zhi carry his schoolbag. He supported Zhou Zhi and scolded Wei Fei angrily: "You are so lazy!"

"You are not allowed to speak like this about your brother during a special holiday." Wei Fei's mother did not criticize Wei Fei, but instead criticized Wei Yi first. This partiality can be regarded as unlimited.

Wei Fei's father also came out and stood with Wei Fei. He looked exactly like Wei Fei in body shape and appearance. Zhou Zhi felt that if Wei Fei got old, he would look like his father.

Zhou Zhi came to the top of the stone staircase and sat down, taking the hatchet from Wei Fei's mother's hand: "I'll do it."

Wei Fei's mother found it very funny: "I can't count on anyone in the family who can help me, but the kid from the city can! Then I'll do it for you, and I'll kill a chicken!"

"No, no..." Zhou Zhi quickly stopped: "Auntie, just steam two sausages. I can't eat anything anyway."

"The two siblings also want to eat." Wei Fei's mother wiped her hands on her apron: "You might as well drink some chicken soup."

"Then thank you, Auntie." Zhou Zhi saw that Wei Fei was still watching, but he would not coddle him: "Help! Search for the bamboo branches."

Wei Yi remembered something: "I found the book you asked for, my elbow. I think it has the smallest vocabulary, and I can almost read it now. Just wait..."

After saying that, he ran back and came out after a while with a book: "Here you go, all the new words are marked."

Wei Fei was a little annoyed: "Sister, why aren't you so nice to me?"

"Ah, you have the nerve to mention it!" Wei Yi grabbed Wei Fei's ear and said, "If you can read it, I can do anything for you!"

Regardless of the siblings playing around, Zhou Zhi started reading the book.

The book has a yellow cover and is probably the version printed internally by the School of Foreign Languages, the original English version, "The Godfather".

Not to mention this book in English, it is not available in Chinese in Jiachuan.

Wei Yi also did not forget to educate Wei Fei: "Mario Puzo, who wrote this book, is not an Anglo-American at all. He comes from an Italian immigrant family. He can still write books in English and work as a reporter for English newspapers."

Zhou Zhi nodded to Wei Fei and said, "So you should be able to do it on a plane."

"If you have the guts, ask him to prescribe the prescription! I'll give him three minutes!" Wei Fei didn't take it seriously and waved his hand very arrogantly.

Wei Yi was so angry that he wanted to beat him again.

A few people quarreled for a while, and Zhou Zhi opened the book and found a lot of new words in it. Wei Yi marked the meanings and phonetic symbols of the words: "Thank you, sister. You are so considerate."

"Read a paragraph and listen to it. This work cannot be in vain."

Zhou Zhi turned to the first page and started reading from the beginning.

For Zhou Zhi, who has been reading traditional classics for a long time, the story structure of the novel "The Godfather" was refreshing to him.

The story begins with the unfair treatment of Italian immigrants who have different occupations and have no connection with each other. In the end, these people who were oppressed by society all made the same decision.

Go to a person and ask for his help at the wedding of that person's daughter.

The concept cannot be said to be amazing. Sima Qian's "Historical Records" is full of such tricks. The opponents of the Han Dynasty are mostly heroic and righteous images, and the orthodox victor Liu Bang also has crude and comic performances.

But the structure is indeed commendable.

Zhou Zhi was engrossed in reading. When he turned the page, he realized that the surroundings were quiet. When he raised his head, he saw the incredulous looks in Wei Fei and Wei Yi's eyes.

"You are so good at English?" Wei Yi was surprised: "So fluent and good at speaking! Who taught you?"

"Uh..." Zhou Zhi rolled his eyes: "I just added a shortwave radio to my home."

"Are you listening to Voa?" Wei Yidu was extremely envious.

There was no FM these days, and there were restrictions on the wavelength of radios. Shortwave radios were not available on the market at all.

Among Wei Yi's classmates, there are only a few high-ranking cadre families.

"Well, my uncle gave me one."

But this just happened, Zhou Zhi added silently in his heart, he couldn’t deceive his good sister.

"Elbow, can you lend it to me?" Wei Yi couldn't help but blurt out, but in the blink of an eye he felt it was inappropriate. That thing is not cheap, and there are some taboos: "If it doesn't work, forget it."

"Okay, why not? Let me fly to the city to get it later." Zhou Zhi started to make a chicken cage, then thought about it and said, "How about I build one for my sister when school starts?"

"Really?!" Wei Yi was surprised and happy: "Oh no, it's so expensive..."

These days, resources for learning, especially foreign languages, are really scarce. For a long time to come, listening to Voa to learn English will be a tireless activity of students.

It should be said that the purpose of most students is to improve their English level.

Especially for young people like Zhou Zhi, who has a very thorough understanding of traditional culture and the history of Chinese civilization, cultural confidence has been a deep-rooted belief and cornerstone since he was ten years old.

The so-called sugar coating is gone, and the cannonballs are fired back.

This is also the reason why Zhou Zhi's political class was not good. In his previous life, he was not willing to learn at all, and he was punished by his father for this.

Later, the country successively opened English radio channels and TV channels, and the resources became better and better.

"No need to spend money." Zhou Zhi said: "I also want to go to Jingcheng during the winter vacation. Cousin Binyang is a fairy. Let him change it when the time comes. But..."

"I know, listen secretly and don't tell anyone."

It's really a bit taboo to talk about this matter, and it seems that Wei Yi knows it too, so there's no need to remind him.

Finally, the exposure was concealed. After the rough chicken cage was woven, Zhou Zhi used the remaining bamboo branches and strips to make a few fork-headed brooms.

Put a bamboo stick on the broom and fix it with bamboo nails. A maroon Santana has stopped at the door of the gas transmission station below. Two young people got out of the car and were looking around.

"Here." Zhou Zhi waved on the slope.

Zhu Dazhang raised his eyes and saw Zhou Zhi, said hello to the people around him and ran up.

Traveling with Zhu Dazhang was Liu Er, who had threatened Zhou Zhi in front of Miss Sixth Sister's counter. When he came up and saw Wei Yi, he was stunned and stared blankly at the girl.

Zhou Zhi quietly took a step forward and stood in front of Wei Yi.

This sister studied in the UK a few years later, and later she got a bunch of titles that would scare you to death. Not a little gangster leader can reach such a high level.

But now Liu Er's ferocious look and unscrupulous attitude really frightened Wei Yi. He lowered his head and hid behind Zhou Zhi, and grabbed the clothes on Zhou Zhi's back with his little hands.

"Elbow, where is Ben?" Zhu Dazhang got straight to the point.

Zhou Zhi opened his schoolbag and took out his household registration book: "Here."

After speaking, he greeted Liu Er: "Brother Liu."
