The godmother also smiled helplessly, as if she knew what her best friend was like: "Let's not talk about it anymore. We are going to leave early the day after tomorrow. So hurry up and make whatever preparations you need. Your master said that every time you go to Shu, you feel like you are wasted."

It’s like moving a warehouse.”

"What a witty saying..." Zhou Zhi looked at his godmother's house and felt that she and her godfather were the direct disciples of the Gu family. Although they were paid a lot of money, they still "sit on all sides", leaving only one bed under the bed.

Yangtze River Stone Egg Zi is not ashamed but proud of it: "This time I have prepared Xianshi soy sauce, red waterworm tea, and Xiaguan Tuocha. If I leave early the day after tomorrow, I will go to Fuyin to pull lychees with Brother Lei tomorrow night."

"Well...should I prepare something? I haven't seen them in many years..."

"I'm ready." Zhou Zhi took out several long-shaped cloth bags from his bag. He saw that they were made by his grandmother. When he opened them, he found several folding fans. The fan ribs were made of Xiangfei bamboo and Lizhu. "This is Zhaobei's handiwork."

It was made by Lao Ma Tou from Men Pier. I offended my uncle by preparing fishing rods last time and he almost didn’t even agree to get them for me."

After saying that, he seemed to remember Lao Ma's weird temper and stuck out his tongue.

The godmother smiled and opened the folding fan, and found a very familiar rubbing painting on the fan: "Suzaku Han Brick?"

"Yes, it's a benefit at no cost." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Lu Xun once said that Han stone carvings are the only ones with deep and majestic spirit. There are many portraits on the stone, so I selected some exquisite ones and made them into fans. The ancestors, ancestors, and grandpas designated them as their favorites.

of."

"But why is your painting skewed? Or are several brick-like parts put together?" The godmother frowned a little: "Also, the color of the painting is different for each portrait..."

To say so is to show cowardice, but Zhou Zhi did not dare to say that his godmother was showing cowardice, so he had to explain patiently: "This is a technique called 'eight broken pictures', also called 'jinhui pile', which uses painting to depict piles of debris.

The scene must be dilapidated, cracked, and corroded by water and fire, and the content must be old calligraphy and painting, fans, epigraphy and stone rubbings, letters, albums, and other things found in the study room."

"Weird." After hearing what Zhou Zhi said, the godmother looked back at the fan again: "But it seems quite interesting..."

In fact, this is quite a waste of time. When rubbing, you need to tear some of the covered parts of the picture directly to form natural tear marks, and then blend and stroke to create the overlapping effect of the remaining pages, and also add different colors.

In fact, it takes a lot of thought to create a beautiful color scheme.

Coupled with Lao Ma Tou's fan bone craftsmanship and grandma's handmade fan bag, this folding fan has become a very exquisite cultural craft.

"By the way, sworn brother, are you interested in going to the capital together? Let's familiarize ourselves with the environment in advance?"

"Wait a minute." Godmother only knew about this: "Why are you going to the capital?"

"The manager of the engineering and art fees said that he promised to take me to the capital to open my eyes and see the many official kiln wares there." Zhou Zhi took care of it: "If my sworn brother is interested, the expenses will be borne by me!"

"That's not necessary."

"ah?"

"I'm talking about the expenses. You don't need to help him pay for it. It's not like he has no money."

"Godmother, do you agree?"

"Well, it's good to go there early to broaden your horizons. Let's see who's sitting in that Toyota. Me, you, Qiao Mu, Tingting and her daughter, that's pretty good."

"Uh, godmother, I have two classmates who want to go with me this time." Zhou Zhi said cheekily, "One is Jiang Shuyi. Tingting can study in Sichuan Audio High School because of the help of Shuyi's sister-in-law.

"

"I know that we are a famous young singer in Sichuan, Tang Qi, right?"

"Yes. With her here, it will be much easier to communicate with Teacher Tang."

"Well, where is another classmate?"

"There is another companion that Shu Yi is looking for. You should also know, He Shiqing. Her former name was He Yongmei."

"I know, I know, I was in the same class with you, I got first place in the class since I was a child, and now I am a good student. I am a small person with a tall forehead, right?!"

"Yes, that's her."

"Is there anything special about her going to Shudu?"

"That's not true. Well, maybe Shu Yi and I will go together to visit friends we met during our previous study tour. There are also two classmates who are already working in Shudu."

"You have classmates who are working in Shudu? You can't, right?"

"Yes, one is named Zhao Zhonggang, who works as a firefighting policeman in the Central District Squadron, and has become a squad leader; and there is another named Yan Xiao. This kid is lucky. He was first selected to be sent to the Provincial Sports Institute's Competitive School for training, and then he was selected into

Provincial Takraw Team.”

"You two classmates are really promising."

"Ah, are they..." Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded. The aura of "other people's children" could be attached to Yan Xiao's head?

"Okay." Godmother said, "But the Toyota won't be able to fit in. Then you, Qiao Mu and the teacher will take the bus together."

"Well..." Zhou Zhi wanted to use the excuse of motion sickness to put Jiang Shuyi on the bus, but then he thought that she would be extremely nervous in front of all the teachers, so he decided to forget it: "Okay, then I will

Go pull lychees with Brother Lei."

"I'll go too! Help!" Master Qiao said immediately.

After returning home, Zhou Zhi told his mother that Mr. Qiao had ranked second in the county. As expected, her mother picked up the phone and dialed the number immediately.

Zhou Zhi shook his head and had no choice but to go upstairs to inform Guan Tingting and Guan Ma that they would leave the day after tomorrow and talk to Guan Dabin about buying wine.

Guan Dabin thought Zhou Zhi was ordering him, so he patted his chest and said that he had provided the wine gift.

Of course Zhou Zhi refused, saying that one code equals one code, and by the way, his mother told them to take them to the house opposite the thatched cottage to have a look. If they think it is okay, they can live there, which can also save money in the provincial capital.

s expenses.

In the end, Guan's mother made the decision, saying that we don't have to be polite with Jiuzi, and we will do whatever he says.

However, my family prepared a gift for each of Jiang Shuyi's three uncles, which was the proper etiquette.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh. He had prepared a bottle of Wuliangye, a bottle of Laojiao Tequ, and a bottle of Dongjiu here for Uncle Jiang. I was afraid that there was only one bottle of Maotai in Laoguan.

He laughed and joked with Guan Tingting a few words to dispel her nervousness caused by adults talking about these things. He also told her to soak the winter melon peel in water and drink it. He also flirted with her and said that he would treat her to a delicious and spicy hot pot in the next few days.

Finally, Zhou Zhi came down from upstairs.

When I got home, my mother was still chatting with my godmother. Seeing this, Zhou Zhi reminded me: "That's about it. My godmother is no better than you. She has a regular schedule and needs to rest on time at nine o'clock."

Mom looked at the time and it was almost ten o'clock: "I will talk to you about the fund-raising room another time. I accidentally talked about it while we were chatting... You should rest quickly! I will give him good advice on the elbow.

Yes, okay, let’s talk again!”

After hanging up the phone, my mother was a little confused: "Isn't it a bit of a loss that Qingbei's grades are in the first foreign school?"

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Zhi said carelessly: "Anyway, I still have to study for graduate school and take the Ph.D. exam, and there are two opportunities for adjustment."

"Huh?" Mom suddenly reacted: "Yes, isn't his sister Wei Yi the one who was admitted to the Shouwai Graduate School on the plane? She has a companion when she starts school in Beijing! I have to tell your godmother..."

After saying that, he picked up the phone and Zhou Zhi quickly reached out and held it down: "Is it possible that Sister Yi can still run away? It won't be too late to talk about this later. There is no hurry. By the way, Mr. Qiao will also go to Shu with me this time.

, and then we will go to the capital together."

"That's good. You can go and get familiar with the school first." Mom never said it. In fact, she was still a little worried about Zhou Zhi going to the capital. After all, the Gongmei and Fee Managers were completely outside her scope of knowledge, and Mr. Qiao was there.

In her mind, she has always been a reliable "other people's child": "This way you can also have a companion."
