Chapter 717: Met Dong Yao by chance
"That'...... So what can be done? Yu Qiu said suspiciously.
"I'm sure your kid must have a clear heart." The chief glanced at Yu Qiu, patted his hand lightly on his knee, and said, "Whether you can succeed with Zhang Yabei or not, that's your business." I don't care about the rest of it. ”
"Hehe...... Yu Qiu said with a smile: "Emotional things can't be forced, just the so-called twisted melon is not sweet." Chief, you should understand, right? ”
"Got a." The chief glared at Yu Qiu and said, "I got married before, wasn't it arranged by my family." I didn't even see what the other party looked like, so I got married directly, and it wasn't until the night of the wedding that I saw what the other party looked like. ”
"Uh......" Yu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Really? That's the old society arranged marriage, right? ”
"I also got married after liberation." The chief glanced at Yu Qiu and said, "However, at that time, it was still influenced by the old society. Many people have no way to make their own decisions in their marriages, they can only find someone to introduce, but the matchmaker praises each other to the sky, and when you lift the hijab, you will know how lost you are, haha...... Look at how happy you are. At least what can you see each other look like when you go on a blind date? ”
Yu Qiu's face darkened for a while. If you really want to fall into the old society, you just don't get married.
The car returned to the Red Wall. The chief was not feeling well and went back to his room to rest. It was a police guard who got together with Yu Qiu. The guards who were not on duty gathered around Yu Qiu. One by one, they were very curious about Yu Qiu. Of course, what they were curious about was not Yu Qiu, but the blind date between Yu Qiu and Zhang Yabei.
"Yu Qiu, I heard that you went on a blind date with Minister Zhang's daughter today?" A guard asked curiously.
"Hmm." Yu Qiu nodded and said, "What?" So so interested in something like this? ”
"Of course!" Several people nodded one after another and said, "We heard that Minister Zhang's daughter is very beautiful, but her personality is relatively hot. Hehe, if you're with that girl, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat. ”
"Nonsense." Xiao Li, the guard on the side, glared at a few people and said, "Yu Qiu can't eat, so you can eat?" I tell you, when I went on a blind date today, I saw Zhang Yabei come back holding our Yu Qiu's hand. The sweetness of that face is like smeared honey. ”
"Really?" The crowd's eyes widened.
"It's not like that!" Xiao Li grinned and said, "Come on, I'll imitate one for you." ”
Then, this kid started a parody show again, which is really vivid. Makes everyone laugh.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble." Yu Qiu got up and said, "Still not friends?" ”
"Okay, let's stop making trouble." Xiao Li hurriedly stopped everyone, as if he was afraid that Yu Qiu would be angry. If Yu Qiu gets angry and the director leaves Yu Qiu, then who can bear this responsibility?
After Yu Qiu got up, he said, "I'll go out for a walk, you guys continue to make trouble!" ”
"Yu Qiu, you shouldn't be angry, right?" Everyone hurriedly asked.
"Nope." Yu Qiu shook his head and said, "Where did I get so stingy?" ”
"That's it, we also say that Yu Qiu is such a broad-minded person......" Xiao Li hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief.
Coming out of the red wall, Yu Qiu walked along Chang'an Avenue all the way. On Chang'an Street, it is very lively, the traffic shuttles endlessly, opposite is Tiananmen Square, there are many people sightseeing in the square, this is a huge square, as far as the eye can see, many old craftsmen in the capital kneading clay figures in the square, and there are also some old craftsmen doing traditional sugar figures for sale in the square. Although it is forbidden for anyone or entity to peddle anything in this square. However, the patrolmen in the square often leave a way for these veteran craftsmen to survive.
They perform here, not only to spread Chinese culture, but also to be responsible for their own lives. Most of these craftsmen do not have children of their own, and if they are not allowed to sell their crafts here, they will definitely end up on the streets in the future, and if they do, their survival will inevitably pose a security risk to the country. So, instead of that, it's better to simply let them sell their craft here. If they encounter a superior who wants to check, then they can only avoid it for a while. After avoiding this for a while, just continue to let them out.
Walking in the square, looking at these veteran craftsmen, their craftsmanship does not require too complex props, and does not require too much cost. Look at that clay figure. He carried only a backpack and a bundle of straw in front of him. Whenever he kneaded a clay figurine, he stuck it in the straw and left it to the visitors to choose. Each clay figurine has a price already marked. Visitors only need to put the money in a bag in front of the old craftsman to take a clay figurine.
Ten yuan a piece, the price is low and affordable. In this era of indulgent materialism, what can ten yuan do? Maybe you can only eat one bowl of noodles, maybe you can only buy one loaf of bread. However, he still stuck to his craft and price. Your craft is worth your price.
Although there are many onlookers, there are not many people who actually buy. Some children wanted to buy it, but the parents were afraid that the colored mud was a harmful substance and did not dare to let the children take it back. There are only about fifty or sixty yuan in the bag, and it seems that business is not very good today. Or maybe it's because parents are overly worried.
Yu Qiu squatted in front of the dirty old craftsman for a while, his craftsmanship was very good, but despite this, it would take him about ten minutes to pinch a clay figure. The clay figurines he pinched are lifelike, as if a very delicate and chic figure appears in front of you. Here are the characters in Journey to the West, and there are also some characters in the cartoon now.
The old craftsman is also to cater to the market and please children, so try to pick some characters from popular cartoons at the moment.
Yu Qiu took a fancy to that Monkey King at a glance. Lifelike, holding a golden golden hoop stick in his hand, raising one leg, covering his brow with one hand to look, as if he was flying through the clouds, and the two feathers on the top of his head were even more slender feathers. Wearing that hat, it's very beautiful.
"How much does this cost?" Yu Qiu asked curiously.
The old craftsman glanced at it, then raised two fingers. Yu Qiu smiled: "Twenty? ”
The old craftsman nodded. Yu Qiu generously took out fifty yuan and put it in his bag. The old craftsman immediately stopped what he was doing and found thirty for Yu Qiu. Yu Qiu shook his head and said, "Old man, I think this Monkey King is worth fifty." ”
The old craftsman shook his head vigorously, as if he was not willing to charge Yu Qiu an extra thirty yuan. Yu Qiu thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll take three more clay figurines." ”
The old craftsman was slightly stunned, and could only nod.
Yu Qiu smiled: "Children, which one do you like?" Just take it! ”
"Wow!" The children who were watching were suddenly overjoyed and reached out to get it. And those parents who were hesitant just now and didn't want to buy clay figurines for their children did not hesitate at this time, but reached out to help their children grab two clay figurines.
In an instant, the more than ten clay figurines in front of the old man were immediately empty. Yu Qiu nodded slightly, then put one hundred and thirty yuan in the old man's bag, and said, "Old man, relying on your own skills to eat is worthy of respect." ”
The old craftsman smiled faintly.
Yu Qiu left the crowd with Sun Wukong in his hand, and not far away, there were many people in front of a shop that was a candy man. Business is obviously much better than on the clay man's side. Many children have paid ten yuan to order a candy man with their favorite animal or character.
Not far from these old craftsmen were several patrol cars in the square, and the patrol officers in the cars obviously did not pay special attention to the old craftsmen here. However, they are very strict with other hawkers. If you encounter it, you will drive it away, but if you can't catch it, you will call the police directly, and the police will be responsible for taking the person away.
Yu Qiu looked at the clay figure in his hand, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. Hasn't the country always wanted to build a harmonious society? Isn't this square a wonderful harmonious society? The state and the people are in a very harmonious structure, and the relationship is wonderful.
"Yu Qiu!" At this moment, a voice came.
Yu Qiu turned his head to look and saw a familiar face, which was someone he hadn't seen for more than a year. Yu Qiu was surprised: "Dong Yao, it turned out to be you?" How did you end up here? ”
"Hee-hee, is it really you?" Dong Yao pulled another girl.
"I didn't expect to see you here." Yu Qiu was a little surprised.
"Ouch, I'm here to make a living." Dong Yao said helplessly.
"Isn't it nice to be in Shanghai?" Yu Qiu smiled: "You are a Shanghai girl, why do you have to come here to beg for a living?" ”
"But I like our capital." Dong Yao tilted her head sideways, looking cute. The girl on the side straightened Dong Yao's head with a smile and said, "Dong Yao, don't you want to introduce me to me?" Patronizing a person chatting with an old friend? ”
"Ah...... That's right. Dong Yao grinned and said, "This is my good sister, Chenchen." How's that, Chenchen is pretty, right? The standard Shanghai beauties. ”
"Hello." Yu Qiu bowed slightly.
"Yu Qiu, why are you here?" Dong Yao looked at Yu Qiu curiously.
"Am I weird here?" Yu Qiu smiled and said, "I'm still curious about you?" ”
"Ouch, I'm here looking for a job. Now, it's time to become a North Drifter. Dong Yao bit her red lip and said, "I just finished the interview today, so I took Chenchen to Tiananmen Square to play." I didn't expect to meet you, it's really fate. I thought I'd never see you again in my life. ”
