Zhao Qingru's original household registration was in the mountain city, and when he went to the mountains and countryside to become an educated youth, his household registration was moved to Shenjiawa Village, Datang Town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info last year because of the relationship between the list, even if he left Shenjiawa Village with his eldest brother, in fact, the household registration is still in the village and has not moved back to the mountain city. So this time to take the college entrance examination for the second time, Zhao Qingru had to go back to the township to take the exam.

Before returning to the township, Zhao Qingru stopped by to visit the old man Wu who lived in Donghai City. Although he had never visited in person before, in the past two years, Zhao Qingru has also mailed a lot of things to Old Man Wu. The grandfather and grandson have always kept in touch by letter.

Mr. Wu is a well-known archaeologist who organized and participated in the protective excavation of the Mawangdui Han Tomb a few years ago. Archaeologists are naturally different from those tomb robbers who are commonly known as "Captain Touching Gold". Although in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no big difference, they are all digging up the graves of their ancestors.

The times are always advancing, and Zhao Qingru knows that in a few years, most people's concepts will change. Hua/Xia is a country with a long civilization inheritance of 5,000 years, and it is not something that the upper lip touches the lower lip and boasts in the vernacular. At this stage, the ancient civilization inherited by the ancestors can only be supplemented little by little through the only surviving documents and the remaining funerary goods in those ancient tombs.

The stick country next door, why do you always worry about our family's things, what zongzi festival, Dr. Qu is from their family, to put it bluntly, isn't it because there is not. A country with no civilization inheritance and no history is actually very sad.

Since Zhao Qingru became a New Year's friend with Mr. Wu, every time he exchanged letters, he would go back to the side and steal some knowledge about archaeology, mainly antique calligraphy and painting, from the old man. Zhao Qingru thought very simply, no matter what to do with the five wooden boxes in her secret warehouse in the end, she had to understand something.

To say that Director Xia, who has now received a boxed lunch, has a really good vision. The antique calligraphy and paintings in the five wooden boxes are rarer than the other. If you want to say that the most precious thing in it should be the red pottery "three-legged incense burner". Zhao Qingru has always thought that it is the pottery products of the incense burner, and according to the preliminary conclusion of the old man Wu, it is very likely to be the red pottery unearthed in the Neolithic period. When our ancestors sacrificed to our ancestors and gods, they used to hold sacrifices, but they were not incense burners.

So don't look at the lack of patterns, if in such an ancient period when there is nothing, it is not easy to fire by hand. It can be seen that our ancestors are superb.

After Zhao Qingru knew that the quaint but delicate "incense burner" was very likely to be thousands of years old, her first reaction was to wonder if someone would win the jackpot like her, and then wear it thousands of years ago...... As for the value or something, Zhao Qingru didn't care much about it. Whether it's worth a lot of money or not, it's actually not that important. The important thing is that our ancestors have mastered the art of firing pottery products thousands of years ago.

It is also the blessing of these five wooden boxes of old antiques that has shortened the distance between Zhao Qingru and Old Man Wu. In the past two years, through the exchange of letters, it is not surprising that they have become year-end friends.

No, taking advantage of the need to return to his hometown to take the college entrance examination for the second time, Zhao Qingru officially visited Mr. Wu with a gift.

"You little girl, you know you're going to see the old man. After Old Man Wu saw Zhao Qingru, especially after the fruits and pastries he was carrying in his two hands, his eyes widened, and he almost engraved the word "angry" directly on Guangguang's head.

"Ru'er girl, take care of your Grandpa Wu, this is a crazy crime, the more people come to see him, the more he will be angry. Come in and sit, it's hot outside. Before Old Man Wu's words fell, this person was pushed away by Old Lady Wu who was standing behind him. Mrs. Wu combed her meticulous woman's hair in a bun, her eyebrows were kind, and she looked very good.

Mrs. Wu led Zhao Qingru into the house, and before Zhao Qingru could sit down, she poured a glass of warm boiled water, and it was warm boiled water with white sugar.

When Zhao Qingru visited Mr. Wu, it was already the beginning of July, and the day was already hot. And with the scorching sun shining for several days, the temperature has already exceeded 30 degrees. Old Man Wu lives in a small courtyard house, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a little alley style, I was afraid that the house would be even more humid and hot.

After Zhao Qingru thanked Mrs. Wu, she took advantage of the gap between drinking water and looked around the furnishings in the house without a trace. Obviously, the old man Wu and his family are not living very well-off, and the furnishings at home are even more shabby. But the house was neat and clean.

In fact, archaeologists like Mr. Wu come and go in the wind and rain all day long, and many times they have to trek through mountains and rivers and encounter various dangers. If you want to make a fortune, just deduct a few items, even if there is only one antique, and a lot of money will go to your pocket.

But no!

Perhaps it is because of the silent dedication of selfless predecessors like Mr. Wu day and night that the long civilization inheritance of Hua/Xia will not be faulted because of the catastrophe in the past ten years.

"Ru'er girl, come down here, but you are not allowed to carry these things anymore. Just as Zhao Qingru was distracted, the voice of Old Man Wu was full of anger in his ears.

"Got it. As a good child who respects the old and loves the young, Zhao Qingru has always been kind and abides by the good etiquette of "whatever the elders say".

"Ru'er girl, did you bring those?" Old Man Wu habitually rubbed his hands and stared at Zhao Qingru.

Zhao Qingru knew that compared to the fruits and pastries she brought, Old Man Wu actually wanted to (see) the things she mentioned in the letter before. Of course, Old Man Wu didn't want to swallow it privately, but he was more afraid that he still wanted Zhao Qingru to donate it to the country. Especially those old antiques that can no longer be described as "priceless".

Donating to the country, Zhao Qingru has naturally considered it, but it is definitely not now. Now the five big wooden boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings are placed in her secret warehouse, and the time in the warehouse is still and not easy to destroy. In the absence of a suitable storage environment, Zhao Qingru was really relieved to take it out at a glance.

"Grandpa Wu, what are those you are talking about?" Therefore, Zhao Qingru blinked, looked at Old Man Wu with an innocent face, and almost held up a wooden sign that said, "Little girl doesn't understand what Grandpa Wu is talking about".

"Those are the things you mentioned in your previous letter, the red incense burner, and the shells, copper bowls, ......" When they met for the first time on the bus, Old Man Wu only thought that Zhao Qingru was a little interesting, so he told the little girl his contact address. I didn't expect the little girl to really come to the house. In fact, the little girl did not come to visit until more than two years later.

But in the past two years, although people have not visited, this letter has been mailed on time every month, and even some dry goods and local products have been mailed every now and then. Even the biological children didn't remember their old couple like the little girl. To say that you are not moved is absolutely a lie.

This person is old, and what he looks forward to most is that his children and grandchildren can be by his side and enjoy the fun of teasing his grandchildren.

Zhao Qingru let Mr. Wu relive his family affection, but what made Mr. Wu care more about the old antiques mentioned when they communicated with each other. Although there are only a few words and a few blurry photos, it is enough to arouse the interest of Old Man Wu.

Zhao Qingru spread his hands, shook his head and still insisted, but finally gave a more reasonable explanation: "Grandpa Wu, I came back this time to take the college entrance examination." You're not going to let me take those things and take the test, right? If you lose it, it's good. Didn't you say before that if you take out any of those things, they are all good things that are priceless? ”

"It's also ......," Old Man Wu nodded.

Looking at the little girl in front of him who has grown a lot taller and is already a beautiful big girl, and continues to pretend to be innocent there, if Old Man Wu hadn't exchanged notes for more than two years, he would have a general understanding of the little girl's temperament, but I was afraid that he would have been fooled again. Old Man Wu is not confused, and he knows that those old antiques are still treasured in the hands of ordinary people, especially those powerful people. Although we hope to donate all of it to the state, we cannot use coercive means.

Just when Zhao Qingru was talking to Old Man Wu, Old Lady Wu took out the watermelon soaked in the well water in the morning with her hands and feet. After soaking in well water, the watermelon is exceptionally cool, and the taste is not much worse than that stored in the refrigerator. In the era when there were no refrigerators, well water was a natural refrigerator used by ordinary people to store food.

"Come on, come on, come and eat watermelon. ”

"Thank you, Grandma Wu. Zhao Qingru happily took the watermelon handed to her by Mrs. Wu without the slightest politeness.

"You're welcome, eat more and cool off. ”

"Hey. ”

"The old lady heard that you said that you were going to take the college entrance examination, how did you study, which school do you want to go to?" asked Mrs. Wu while fanning the wind.

"Last year, my brother was admitted to the military academy in Yanjing, and my younger sister naturally can't lag behind. I just didn't think about whether to go to Yenching University or the College of Foreign Chinese. ”

"Outside Chinese...... Academy?" Old Man Wu, who was munching on a watermelon, raised his head, and after a while, Old Man Wu's two-and-a-half-inch long white beard was stained with a lot of watermelon juice. Old Man Wu frowned, and asked Zhao Qingru rhetorically, "Ru'er girl, you are very good at bird language?"

"It's okay. I got a perfect score in English last year, but I was a little poor in other subjects, especially mathematics, so I didn't pass it. ”

"Full marks? That's not just 'okay'. I can't imagine that our Ru'er girl is so good at English. Mrs. Wu was very happy, and even the wrinkles on her face were stretched.

"So, you didn't plan to take the archaeology department, girl?"

"......" Zhao Qingru didn't know what to say for a while. It seems, it seems...... She never thought about digging up people's ancestral graves. Well, the Department of Archaeology isn't just about digging up people's ancestral graves. But she is such a young and beautiful little girl, she really hasn't considered dealing with those loess monuments all day long.

"You old man, you deal with those loess all day long, and you still want to drag Ru'er girl into the water. Xu saw that Zhao Qingru was a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to open her mouth, so Mrs. Wu took the lead and took the lead in counting down her old man. Seeing this, Old Man Wu also knew that there were some things that he couldn't force on.

When Zhao Qingru was in the magic capital before, he also discussed with his grandparents which school was better.

Yenching University is one of the top universities in China. The reason why I applied for this university is that in addition to the fact that the school is really good, it is also the place where my godfather and godmother used to live and teach. After so long, I didn't find any clues, maybe there was really no hope of finding Qian Wentao. But even if he couldn't find any clues, Zhao Qingru still wanted to take Grandma Qian to see this school again.

Of course, just next door, Mizuki University, which is not inferior to Yenching University, is also a good choice. Mizuki Yanjing, a pair of good friends who love each other.

As for the foreign Chinese that has not yet been promoted to a foreign university, it is now only a foreign Chinese college, on the one hand, it is a school that specializes in cultivating language talents, and at least in the future, you can be a translator or something. And with Zhao Qingru's family background, if you want to engage in politics, it seems that it is not bad to take the road of diplomacy.

On the other hand, that certain flower doesn't happen to be Chinese the academy outside? Since you can become a relative in the vast sea of people, you have to go over and brush up on your sense of existence. They are all called "Zhao Qingru", and they were all admitted to the College of Foreign Chinese from Shenjiawa Village, Datang Town, Luliang Township. Such a coincidence, if you don't play it, how can you dispel this breath in your heart?!

"That's it, since you don't have that mind, you might as well try to be admitted to Mizuki University. The so-called 'people go to high places and water flows to low places'. If you have that strength, girl......" Old Man Wu was silent for a moment and gave his advice. My little friend wanted to choose a foreign Chinese college because of his good results in bird language, but in the end it was just a college, and neither its reputation nor its faculty were as good as Yenching University. Of course, the premise still depends on the results.

"Would you rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head?"

Zhao Qingru smiled, although after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the ranking of famous universities has always been Shuimu Yanjing, but after the 21st century, Yenching University, which has always been in second place, has caught up. However, Old Man Wu's words woke up Zhao Qingru all of a sudden, and there is really no need to put a price on his future. Whether it is Mizuki University, which is currently ranked first, or Yenching University, which is temporarily ranked second, it seems that both have foreign language majors.

"Grandpa Wu, I've thought about it. ”

"Huh?"

I want to go to Yenching University to experience the charm of the school where my godfather and godmother insist on staying. It was at this moment that Zhao Qingru began to understand why her mother and grandparents did not force her to choose which school she chose in terms of school selection. (To be continued.) )
