Unearthed bronze swords, jade pendants, four sheep square statues, Tibetan cloth paintings, Tibetan incense, utensils, ivory carving dragons, reclining Buddhas, thousands of Guanyin, wood carving dragon heads, Buddha statues, phoenixes, bronze carvings of the Water Margin one hundred and eight generals, red sandalwood chairs, sofas, beds, Suzhou embroidery exquisite cheongsam, Kao peony, Zhaojun out of the plug, brushes, inkstones, seals placed on the desk, hardcover medicinal materials ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps...... Two farmers walked on the red carpet of the main exhibition hall, looking at the dazzling array on both sides, and they couldn't close their jaws for a long time.

Lao Ma and Zhong Neng moved slowly through the crowd, and in the huge main exhibition hall, people moved forward with their feet rubbing their shoulders against each other, and ordinary people were all shocked by the artworks in front of them, and they all opened their mouths to stare and admire. Zhong Neng is the third time to watch the fair, although the prosperity in front of him is not fresh, but the bottom of his heart has always been shocked, the first time the old horse saw it, the whole person from the beginning of the exhibition to this moment, all the way shocked speechless.

Gui Ying and Zhiyuan, who led the team, are also full of praise. Zhiyuan hugged Yangyang, and looked all the way to see the Lao Tzu riding a bull, the boy playing the flute, the fairy wishing his birthday, the Taigong fishing, the Buddha's enlightenment, the monkey king sitting and watching, the Taoyuan knot, Li Bai drinking, the beauty stroking the qin, the beauty bathing, the mountains and seas undulating, and the flowers are crowded...... Many giant carvings have reached the peak of the realm, Zhiyuan along the way, the more the eyes look at the heart more and more heavy, there is already a breathtaking idea.

At this moment, He Zhiyuan could no longer continue to watch, he handed Yangyang to Gui Ying on the pretext of buying lunch, and left the exhibition hall against the flow of people, only to realize that there were a few mouthfuls of oxygen for his heart and lungs.

This is not the first time He Zhiyuan has watched the fair, and it is certainly not the first time He Zhiyuan has been stimulated by this. He boasted that he had read many masterpieces through the ages, and the feelings and life advocated by the ancient literati had long been infiltrated in his blood. In the commercial society, literati are worthless with their feelings, integrity, ideals, and contributions.

In front of some young children on the three-foot podium, although it is far from the elegant realm of connecting souls and expressing oneself directly, you can often dip in poetry and books, taste masterpieces, and chat about eternal history...... To a certain extent, as a teacher, He Zhiyuan is still hovering on the edge of the world that literati yearn for. In the four or five years since he resigned, he has completely lost himself.

He Zhiyuan can understand the allusions and meanings quoted and conveyed by almost every work of art, he can imagine the huge thought and long time condensed behind each work, and he can get the strength, joy or open-mindedness that the author wants to convey from each work, but the only thing he can't accept is the endless sense of humility that emerges from the bottom of his heart in front of the transcendent works of art.

This sense of humility oppressed him, and made him intellectually judge that he was a worthless person. He couldn't accept the judgment his reason had made on him, so he escaped.

Gui Ying had already understood the seriousness and heaviness on Zhiyuan's face, and she didn't dare to ask. She hardly dared to ask about the content and purpose of those works of art, she would rather read the description of the work, would rather be a fool or a layman fool who reads the amazing work in vain and forgets it, rather than ask He Zhiyuan what it is and what this is. She was afraid that she would be beaten to death by her husband in the bottom of her heart, who couldn't distinguish between embroidery and pen and ink painting.

Seven or eight years ago, a stupid woman who had been stupid and couldn't tell the difference between a statue of Confucius and a statue of Lao Tzu was despised by her husband when she reverently consulted her cultured husband. Contempt - the stupid woman can accept it, but the coldness and solemnity that appeared on the husband's face at that moment - the stupid woman can't accept it. Many years later, when it comes to cultural allusions, poems, historical celebrities, and everything related to culture, she would rather ask others and the Internet than ask her husband.

She feared that her ignorance would stab her husband like a sword.

Therefore, Gui Ying has been walking in front of Zhiyuan with Xuemei and Xuecheng. She didn't want Zhiyuan to see the superficial expression on her face, she observed the demeanor of other people's praise or appreciation along the way, and then when her husband walked in her, she copied other people's expressions, movements, and words to herself.

For Ma Guiying, there is no difference between the Cultural Fair and the New Year's Fair, and the reason why she is happy and excited is simply because she knows He Zhiyuan's attitude towards the Cultural Fair.

After walking for an hour, the old horse was tired and took the initiative to sit in a wheelchair, and Zhong Neng pushed the wheelchair forward. Along the way, I passed by the two-meter-high wood carving Guan Gong, the stone carving Confucius, the root carving Laozi, the twenty-meter-long black tree carving of the eighteen Arhats, and the three or four square meters of jade carvings full of woods, dragons and phoenixes, and buildings......

Suddenly, seven or eight meters ahead, next to a blue and white porcelain vase painted with sika deer, the old horse saw a familiar little figure - yellow hair, bloomers, sneakers, the man pouted his ass and touched the sika deer on the blue and white porcelain. There is no doubt that it is rippling. The blue-and-white porcelain vase with a thin mouth and long neck is the size of a jar – a vase the size of a bucket of wheat...... The old horse didn't dare to imagine how much money he had, I'm afraid the doll was accidentally pushed!

The old horse, who didn't have time to think about it, got up from his wheelchair and walked forward with a step--his speed frightened the people around him, and also frightened Zhong Neng behind him. When Zhong Neng turned back to look for the old horse, the old horse had already walked two meters away. The old man didn't care about anything else, he went straight to Yangyang on crutches, and when he walked behind Yangyang, he bent down lightly with difficulty, grabbed his waist, and pushed Yangyang to a meter away from the vase, and then shouted angrily: "Can you touch this!" What should I do if it breaks? ”

The frightened Yangyang immediately turned green.

The old horse turned around and looked at no acquaintance, and then lowered his head and asked Yangyang: "What about your mother?" ”

Yang Yang pointed to the left, but the old horse didn't see it.

"Ma Guiying! Ma Guiying! The old horse shouted in Shaanxi dialect in the crowd.

At this moment, Ma Guiying is looking down at a two-square-meter stone inkstone, Xuemei is on the left and on the right. There were five or seven dragons lying around the inkstone, and the inkstone was placed on the ground, and a group of people bent down in a circle to watch.

"Ma Guiying! Ma Guiying! ”

Gui Ying heard someone call her, as if she had received a signal from ancient times, she was stunned for a moment, and then stood up straight and searched around, only to see Lao Ma and Yangyang standing on the main road four or five meters away from her staring at her, and their faces were very ugly.

"Ma Guiying! Ma Guiying! Lao Ma didn't find Gui Ying, and still shouted in the crowd, causing people around him to look back at Lao Ma from time to time.

"Yes, yes! Here it is! Gui Ying strode over, a little weak-hearted.

"You don't even know if the child is lost! What are you doing here, kid touching the vase here? Can you afford to knock down someone's vase? Yangyang is alone, what should I do if I am abducted, what are you doing as a mother......" Lao Ma ignored the crowd and pointed at Gui Ying's nose and scolded.

It turned out that after Zhiyuan went to buy lunch, Gui Ying kept holding Yangyang's hand, and both of them were sweating in their palms, so she pulled Yangyang's wrist, Xu is child was uncomfortable and broke free, and she later pulled Yangyang's collar. I also pulled it just now, because Yangyang squatted at her feet too short to reach, she let go, and after she let go, Yangyang held her leg from time to time...... As for when Yangyang left, Ma Guiying didn't know at all. The whole process of Yangyang's departure took less than three minutes before and after.

"Look! Look at it! So many cameras! So many security guards! So many staff! How can it be lost? Gui Ying looked at the people on both sides and retorted in a low voice.

I never thought that I would lose my child, but when it came to it, Gui Ying was also a little afraid.

"What do you think? I pulled the child and called you seven or eight times, and I couldn't see you! What does this call you to watch? "The old horse is viciously unforgiving, and he doesn't give Gui Ying any steps.

Gui Ying hugged the child and turned sideways, squinting at the red carpet on the ground. Which of the visitors to the exhibition is not holding a mobile phone to take pictures at any time, she doesn't want to quarrel with the old man and be watched by outsiders, so she took photos and finally uploaded them to the Internet.

"Alright, alright, this ...... So many people are watching, the child is not lost, the vase is not broken - isn't that good? Don't train Yingying, there are a lot of people, it's not good-looking! Zhong Neng dragged the old horse to a less crowded place next to him.

Gui Ying was so red in the eyes of everyone that she hid in a place where there were few people with Yang Yang in her arms.

Yang Yangyang wrinkled his face and observed the grandfather scolding his mother throughout the whole process, and looked at the expression on his mother's face, the child seemed to realize that he had made a mistake and his mother had also made a mistake. Xuecheng and Xuemei came over early, Xuemei pushed the wheelchair that no one cared for to find her grandfather, and Xuecheng stuck to Gui Ying's side and pulled the corner of Gui Ying's clothes. The old horse standing on the side wiped his sweat angrily, glaring at Gui Ying from time to time, Gui Ying didn't dare to look back, only hugged Yangyang's back to the old horse.

He Zhiyuan carried a large bag and a small bag to buy lunch and returned to the exhibition hall, after entering the hall, he directly looked for a wheelchair in the human leg, and quickly found Zhong Neng, and then saw this embarrassing scene. He sensed that the atmosphere was very wrong, so he didn't ask anything, but only asked Lao Ma with his bag: "Dad, it's half past twelve, let's have lunch." Shall we eat inside the pavilion against the wall, or outside the pavilion? ”

"It's inside...... Lean against the wall! "I was walking in a hurry just now, and there were a few steps that the old horse forgot to use crutches, and his right foot, which was straining hard, was in pain at the moment.

Zhiyuan carried the meal and beckoned everyone to come aside, the old horse followed Zhiyuan, and Gui Ying walked at the end with the child in his arms. During the meal, the two groups of people did not speak, although Zhong Neng was explaining, Lao Ma was angry. After the meal, Zhiyuan said to everyone while cleaning up the garbage: "There are nine exhibition halls in the Cultural Expo, and we are visiting the main exhibition hall now - the largest one. ”

"Okay, okay! I'll go with your husband to the museum where the wood carvings are made......" Zhong Neng looked through the drawings, and then said, "We two old men go to Hall No. 9, and you take the children to the children's hall." ”

The group was divided into two ways. After arriving at the juvenile hall, the children played with each other like birds out of the cage, and the husband and wife stood aside to watch the children play with various toys. Zhiyuan asked what happened just now, Gui Ying felt guilty, elaborated, and complained about the old man's fuss. Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, blaming her for being careless and not saying anything.

The two old men went to the No. 8 hall after visiting the No. 9 hall, and saw all kinds of sculptures along the way - dragons and phoenixes, statues, wild beasts, flowers, fish, table tripods...... The jade carvings are indigo, dark green, white jade, and jujube, and the wood carvings are mahogany, nanmu, red sandalwood, and camphor wood, and you can see all kinds of pearls, agate, coral, amber, and jade...... The two old men twisted their necks and watched left and right along the way, which was really a feast for the eyes.

At half past three in the afternoon, two groups of people made an appointment to meet in Hall 3, Zhiyuan took snacks and mineral water and distributed them to everyone, and the old and small children sat on the edge of the exhibition area to rest and replenish their physical strength. Suddenly, a middle-aged man stared at the old horse for a few seconds, and the old horse saw that the man was burly, with a round face, a red-skinned smile, and his eyes were shining.

"Sister Gui Ying! Long time no see! The man grinned and walked up to Gui Ying.

Gui Ying squatted on the ground and looked at the mobile phone with the child, and was very surprised when she was suddenly called. She put down the child, stood up, smiled and patted Wang Fuyi's arm and said, "Huh! It's you - Manager Wang Fuyi! You're also coming to see the fair? ”

Wang Fuyi is a former colleague of Gui Ying's company, and for seven or eight years before Gui Ying became the business manager, Wang Fuyi had been the burden of the company's business department. After starting a business with a friend, he had to leave his original position, and before leaving, he tried to ensure that Guiying was the new business manager, and used his last four months in the company to help Ma Guiying. Many of Gui Ying's current customers were also transferred by Wang Fuyi.

"If we don't come to the fair, we can't do it! Although I resigned and left, my old habits are still there, and I can't help but come over as soon as there is a big exhibition! Hey, this is your family? Wang Fuyi pointed at the crowd with a bright face, and finally his index finger fell on the old horse.

"Oh, this is my father!" Gui Ying pointed at the old horse, and there was still the aftermath of the anger just now on her face.

"Hey, hello uncle! I'm Wang Fuyi, Gui Ying's former colleague! Wang Fuyi stretched out his hands and bent over to shake hands with the old horse.

"Oh hello, hello!" The old horse felt the strength of the young man's palm, and stared at this middle-aged man with a broad face and gentle eyebrows, and there was an inexplicable joy.

After the two shook hands, Wang Fuyi pointed at He Zhiyuan and asked with a smile: "Who is this?" ”

"Hee-hee, this is my husband!"

"I heard you're a high school teacher! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! Wang Fuyi stretched out his hands and bent down to shake hands with Zhiyuan.

"Oh! Belch...... Thanks thanks! Zhiyuan shook hands with Wang Fuyi very unfamiliarly.

"Your whole family is out on the move!" After shaking hands, Wang Fuyi stood next to Gui Ying and chatted with Gui Ying.

"Yes! Long time no see you! How's your factory doing? Gui Ying asked Fuyi.

"Business was good at the beginning, and it was not good in the past two years, but it was okay! What about you, how is the manager? Fu Yi asked with a smile.

"Hey, it's not as good as you! In the past two years, the market has been sluggish, especially this year, the salesman has taken a lot of customers, and several old employees have resigned! Gui Ying lowered her head and sighed, unable to hide the frustration and sorrow on her face.

"It's normal to go to customers, but you also have to find some new customers by yourself, run more, my previous customers are all running one by one!" Fu Yi looked ahead and clasped his hands to his chest.

Zhong Neng sat on a chair and chatted with the children in a bunch, Zhiyuan saw Gui Ying chatting about work, leaning on the side and looking at his mobile phone, Lao Ma sat in a wheelchair and glanced at the middle-aged man from time to time, and couldn't help but stretch his ears to listen to what they were talking about.

"Lijie Company...... Withdrawn, in the second half of the year! Gui Ying said the heaviest thing in recent times.

"Ahh Why? Fuyi was shocked.

"It's said that the market is not good to cut expenses!" Lijie was brought by Wang Fuyi, but he lost the order in his hand, Gui Ying lowered his head and looked embarrassed.

"Lijie must not be returned! Sister Gui Ying, let me tell you, as soon as Lijie retreats, Shengsheng, Tingle, and Haihua will all retreat! Several of them have always been together, saying that they are peers are actually upstream and downstream cooperative relations, and Lijie must not retreat! Fu Yi looked anxious when he faced Gui Ying.

"But they've already retreated!" Gui Ying raised her head and looked up at Fuyi, her eyes helpless.

"You go for it! You're a business manager now, and you've got big customers on your hands, and you don't work hard to keep them, so what do others think? If they cut back on spending, so will the exhibition area! It can be small, but it can't be missed! If you don't come this year, it will be difficult to invite you again in the future! Sister Gui Ying, you must fight for it! ”

"Hmmm! I know. Gui Ying lowered her head, thoughtful.

"I'll give you a trick - you sell bitterness to the big boss. Our old money and the boss of Lijie had a friendship in the early years, and the old money always came forward, and Lijie would not give face! As long as you keep Lijie, those customers will not be lost! One pulls one by one, and that's how big the fair is! Wang Fuyi gave Gui Ying a boost of anger.

"Thank you, Fuyi! As soon as you reminded me, I now have the bottom in my heart! Thank you! Gui Ying is solemnly grateful.
