Chapter 176: Today's Protagonist Has Arrived
"When it comes to antique calligraphy and painting, although I told you some of those famous paintings and names last time, in fact, this one also includes all kinds of paper, ink, pens, inkstones...... "In the guest house of the county party committee, in a not large but very comfortable guest room, Zhao Lao sat on the soft sofa, and a set of tea sets were placed on the coffee table on one side, and a pot of Biluochun was brewed.
With the explanation, Zhou Mingluo, who had a straight waist, also nodded again and again, and occasionally saw Zhao Lao drinking tea, he consciously bent down and poured a cup, one spoke carefully, the other studied seriously, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more harmonious.
Today is already the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the Lunar New Year, a scene that happened at noon yesterday did not have much impact on Zhou Mingluo, Yu Fatzi originally pulled Han Jingyu to testify for him, proving that he was the director, but the captain Han not only slapped him after seeing Zhou Ming, but also gave the guy a charge of trying to abduct women, and was directly arrested in the detention center of the county public security bureau.
This is not an injustice, but a fact, it's just that Yu Fatzi is backing.
Last night, the deputy director of the county government axe office asked for the guest house, but Zhou Mingluo didn't see it, he didn't want to pursue it all the time, but he also felt that it was okay to lock up Director Yu for a few days and teach him a lesson.
After all, that guy persevered and tried to abduct the girl next to him in front of him again and again, this kind of thing, he only planned to lock up the other party for a few days, which was already very kind.
Aside from this trivial matter, the most important thing at the moment is to seize the opportunity to learn from the three old people, Bi Lao and Song Lao are now in the next room to study how to repair the broken water belt, and have been studying for a few days and have not been able to find a proper way to solve the problem, but Zhao Lao began to instill in him the knowledge of calligraphy and painting.
This kind of indoctrination is basically a detailed explanation without reservation, and it is enough for Zhou Ming to fall into the disciple ceremony.
Zhao Lao even took the time to smile and said that he has been teaching and educating people for most of his life, but he didn't expect to start to return to his old business after retirement, he will be so to Zhou Mingluo undoubtedly repay the other party to let him get what he wants, and see the meaning of such a divine object as the water belt, but in the explanation, he was gradually moved by Xiao Zhou's diligent and studious attitude, and aroused his addiction to teaching, and the professor became more and more attentive.
The small half of the day passed quickly, and it was not until the end that Zhao Lao sighed suddenly, and said to Zhou Mingluo, "Yes, it is rare for a serious little guy like you to be seen in recent years, but the written back is transparent, if there is no physical reference, it is only half-understood, if there is a chance, it is better to see more, and get in touch with real calligraphy and painting antiques." ”
This is also true, not only in the antique industry, but also in the written explanation alone, it is difficult to become a real person, and there must be practice.
"Well, then Old Zhao, you rest first, and I'll recall these things well." Zhao Lao is almost eighty years old now, the oldest of the three old men, a cut older than Bi Lao and Song Lao, although he seems to be in good spirits, but after teaching like this for half a day, his face still showed a trace of fatigue, and Zhou Mingluo immediately got up and said with a smile.
"No rest." Zhao Lao also got up and waved his hand, and then said, "I discussed with those two old ghosts yesterday, repairing the broken water belt may not be completed in a short time, and today is also a small year, so the three of us should also go, and the others will wait for the New Year." ”
"Okay, then I'll send you." Zhou Mingluo was stunned, but he was not too surprised, perhaps the more elderly people care about whether they can be with their families during the New Year, but many of the young people nowadays have long lost the interest of the New Year.
Sent the three elders back to their hometown in the provincial capital one by one, Zhou Mingluo didn't stay long, and the three elders urged him to hurry home for the New Year, and when he drove the new car sent by Lin Hao yesterday afternoon, a black Audi A7 rushed back to his hometown It was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Xiaoluo, you're back, quick, just kang, you eat a piece." The environment of the Zhou family's hometown can also be, five bungalows, with a yard of about 100 square meters, the yard is a flat cement floor, just parked the car in the yard, Zhou's mother walked out with an apron and a basket of cakes, and greeted Zhou Mingluo with a smile.
This is the custom of the hometown, on the day of the new year, you have to eat "pot ash", that is, the flatbread that comes out of the pan, thick and round, Zhou Mingluo responded with a smile, grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth and took a bite, the hot was very delicious, and followed his father to carry a plate of firecrackers and walked out of the hall, "Mingluo, are you here or am I coming?" ”
"I'll do it." Zhou Mingluo suddenly smiled, stepped forward to take the firecracker and wrapped it around the clothesline in the yard, and saw that his parents had gone far before he took out the lighter and lit the end.
"Papapa~"
The firelight shook the sky, and the small courtyard was immediately startled by a burst of chickens and dogs barking, Zhou Mingluo also hurriedly ran to his parents, and smiled at the firecrackers in front of him, the New Year.
Before the change, their family had been reunited, but this year was completely different, looking at Zhou Mingluo who was smiling and biting the "pot ash", Zhou's mother suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that your eldest brother is too busy, and your sister-in-law and Xiaoxuan haven't come back, otherwise our family will really be reunited." ”
Zhou Mingluo smiled silently, the eldest brother, the county magistrate, is probably getting busier and busier with his feet not touching the ground.
.............................. "Mingluo, have you arrived?" We'll be waiting for you. On the road leading to the county seat, there was a crisp mobile phone ringtone in Audi, and when Zhou Mingluo grabbed the phone, Ye Long's brisk voice sounded over there.
"Come on, I'll be in the county seat in ten minutes or so, or you go to the hotel first, and then I'll go directly when I arrive." also smiled and spoke, but Zhou Ming sighed in his heart, and he couldn't help but drink, it is estimated that it will not be long before he can become a good young man in the alcohol test.
Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
In the days after the 23rd year, either this playmate got married, or the buddy got married, and it was indeed common for him to get married in his early 20s in his hometown, and he drove an Audi to help those friends pick up the bride back not once or twice.
Speaking of which, he also has to thank his eldest brother, if it weren't for the sudden return of the house, most of his parents' attention would have shifted to the eldest brother's family, and his parents' wish to hold their grandson was also realized, I'm afraid this year, he will inevitably be urged in this direction countless times.
Before Chinese New Year's Eve, he was busy drinking a meal of happy wine, after Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the New Year's greetings, in the past, Zhou Mingluo was to go to his uncle's house to sit, and it could be done in half a day, but this year it will be more troublesome, the three people of Bi Lao, Song Lao and Zhao Lao in the provincial city have to visit one by one, how to say that those three have also been his masters for a period of time, and then go to the Lin family to sit, and they are busy for several days.
What made him laugh and cry was that there were more people who came to his house to pay New Year's greetings this year, and several township chiefs and secretaries in his hometown came to sit for a while, which can be regarded as making his father feel the glory of his old face.
Speaking of which, in the twenty-fourth and fifth days of the lunar month, he received a call from Ye Long, and kept calling him to go to the county town to gather, he was not too familiar with this old classmate before, but after the Ye family pointed out that the Jiajing white glaze cup in the other party's hand could be worth more than 300,000 yuan, Ye Long was extremely eager for him, and always wanted to invite him to dinner, but Zhou Mingluo was too busy for a while, and he was busy drinking happy wine every day, so he delayed it again and again, and he couldn't delay it until today, so he could only be invited to come.
"That's okay, I booked a private room in the Linchuan Hotel, let's go first, you can go up directly when you arrive, not only did I invite you today, but also a few of my buddies, as well as a few of our old classmates when we went to school, we are waiting for you, they are envious of what I did last time, so when I came today, I basically brought some things from the house, and I want to ask you to help me." When Ye Long heard this, he smiled again.
"No problem." Zhou Ming agreed, and he understood in his heart, Ye Long's kid was jokingly pulling him home, and let him see if the few things left at home were good or bad, but he suddenly made a treasure of three or four hundred thousand, which must have a great impact on his friends around him, so it is not surprising that this scene appeared in front of him.
However, what made him feel funny was that Ye Long actually knew the word palm eye, and it seemed that that incident really stimulated him a lot.
After chatting a few more words, he put down his mobile phone before concentrating on driving to the county seat, and when he entered the county seat, the streets along the way seemed a little deserted compared with the previous year, although most of the stores have been opened, but some are still closed, although the flow of people is not small, but not too much.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, only more than half of this year has passed, and there is still some aftertaste.
Linchuan Hotel is located in the west section of Renmin Road, which is a relatively prosperous area, entered the parking lot and parked the car, dialed the mobile phone again and learned that Ye Long and his party had entered, so he went directly to the private room on the third floor.
"Ha, you kid is finally here, come, let me introduce you, today's protagonist has arrived." As soon as he stepped into the private room, Ye Long, who was sitting inside, immediately lit up, walked out of the banquet with a step, and smiled inside with Zhou Mingluo's shoulder.
This private room is very large, and a big round table is full of seven or eight young people, both men and women, among which occasionally two or three Zhou Mingluo are also very familiar, and they remember it after a little recollection, basically they are classmates in the third year of high school.
Although I don't know the others, they seem to be familiar with each other.
Waiting for Ye Long's introduction, he suddenly wondered why those who didn't know him felt familiar, although they hadn't been in the same class with him, but they were basically classmates of the first class, and they all studied in the county No. 1 high school.
And most of the people here came over today, in addition to the old classmates getting together, more of them took some things from home, and wanted to ask Zhou Ming to see if it was worth it, so Xiao Zhou is really a well-deserved protagonist, as soon as he was introduced, two or three people directly surrounded him enthusiastically, and everyone else also stood up on the spot, which was very welcome.
