Chapter 363 Growing Pains
"I come from a military family, with a horse racing on my arm and a nail in my mouth!" Yan Xiao said with a smile.
"That's Brother Pao you're talking about!"
"Elbow, you told me that the generals of the Sichuan and Yunnan armies of the Republic of China were all the elders of Pao Ge, the helmsman. If you don't join Ge Lao, you can't lead the troops. Yuzhou It’s said that ‘the world is open to you’.”
“Oh, that’s true.” Zhao Zhonggang smiled and said, “Does Elbow and Wenyu count as both civil and military?”
"I can't say anything about being smart, but when you are smarter, you can become more tactful."
"Why are you so salty, so you have the nerve to criticize me?!"
"Stop it! Just listen to what I have to say first. ," Yan Xiao He waved his hand and said, "But to be attractive, one has to be a gentleman. He is upright and perseverant and never makes fun of others. He is easily respected and not afraid of being teased and deceived by others. This is character."
"I Don’t you have any character? "Zhou He got angry: "I tease you the most, but I never cheat! And I am also willing to socialize and help others. How many meals have you eaten from Wenyu and how many meals have you eaten from me?"
"Haha Haha..." Zhao Zhonggang reached out and put his hand on Zhou Zhi's shoulder: "Actually, the elbow is still very good, but the disadvantage is that he is too smart. I remember there is a saying you taught me, 'wisdom is close to rape', is there such a saying? ”
"That's true, but it's not meant to wipe out all smart people at once." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Besides, I'm not smart either, I just spend more time reading and studying than you do. "
"That's what it says. Zhao Zhonggang picked up the soy milk and touched Zhou Zhi's beer: "But it's not that I don't want to study, but I want to spend so much time on studying, but my emotions don't allow it. There is no cure for this disease when I pick up a book and feel sleepy." .”
“That’s it. "Yes!" Yan Xiao said with a smile: "You think I was still able to study in junior high school, but I couldn't do it in high school. Why? It's because I can only schedule so much time for studying in junior high school, but it's terrible in high school. .”
"But this is fine, a good body is more important. After all, great men have said: The body is the capital of revolution."
Zhou Zhi was happy: "Give yourself a reason to be lazy, and also find a theoretical height. On.”
The three of them laughed and laughed for a while, Zhou Zhi told them about the recent situation of Jiachuan classmates, and then finally talked about Xu Hui.
"Hui Hui is going to France after graduating from high school." Zhao Zhonggang looked indifferent and gave Zhou Zhi a bunch of quail eggs in a bowl: "She has such a good relationship with Shu Yi, you don't even know?"
"Shu Yi pays great attention to protecting the privacy of her friends. She won't tell me many of your things." Zhou Zhi was also a little helpless: "With a few of us Frequently opening each other's letters privately is not an option."
"Actually..." Yan Xiao couldn't help but smile: "Shu Yi is right, we seemed... too casual before..."
"It's still different." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "We don't open private messages randomly, the most we open are...public letters."
"What are public letters and private letters?"
"It's a letter written by a few of our junior high school friends to each other. No one knows it. It's called a public letter. And we only open the letters written to boys, such as the ones written by Salt Mouse now. I don’t dare to open the letter to Shi Qing, for fear of hurting my eyes!”
“Get out!” Yan Xiao said angrily: “I’m afraid that if Wen Yu doesn’t do evil with you, you’ll be bored by yourself, right? "
What Yan Xiao said was true, and Zhou Zhi couldn't help but sigh: "The older this person gets, the more boring he becomes..."
No one mentioned Xu Hui again. Zhao Zhonggang's thoughtful character is very clear about the matter. He has never said that he doesn't like Xu Hui, that is, he really likes her. But now it seems that the possibility of the two of them getting together is basically zero.
And Zhao Zhonggang knew it very well, so he and Xu Hui just had a good impression of each other.
In fact, not only Zhao Zhonggang, but also Yan Xiao also have similar problems, that is, the uncertainty of the future brings them anxiety. In fact, even Zhou Zhi is the same. Even if he knows more about the future social trends, he cannot guarantee that everything will go smoothly.
Of course, this thing cannot be solved with a meal of spicy soup, and there is no need to add to the troubles. The three of them are considered free and easy at best, and lazy at worst. We didn't discuss this in depth, and in a blink of an eye the topic turned to daily life.
When they were about to say goodbye, Yan Xiao took out an Aiwa radio player that had not been opened in a carton: "Elbow, take this back to Shiqing."
"This thing costs more than five hundred." Zhou Zhi was a little surprised: "Salt Rat, you are really willing to spend a lot of money!"
"Everywhere, I learned it from you..." Yan Xiao My classmates are quite humble.
"Me?" Zhou Zhi thought for a while: "I don't think I have ever done what you said. I just gave girls books..."
"What I said is Consumption concept!" Yan Xiao said earnestly, "It's your attitude of not caring about spending money!"
"Do I have it?"
"Isn't your reading salon downstairs decorated according to Shu Yi's hobbies?" Yan Xiao showed an admiring look: "Those things that King Zhou did for Daji in "The List of the Gods", in "The Chronicles of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" Zhou You Those things that Wang did for Baosi..."
"Stop it, me!" Zhou Zhi didn't expect that this matter could be interpreted like this to Yan Xiao: "It's not the same thing at all, okay? I just want to hide It’s not just to please Shu Yi.”
“I understand,” Yan Xiao patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder: “That’s what you guys have to say, this player is also for Shiqing to learn English. What to use? It's not about pleasing people..."
"I'm Ge..." Zhou Zhi was so frustrated by Yan Xiao that he immediately raised his hands and surrendered: "You are awesome, I will admit defeat!"

Early the next morning, Zhou Zhi packed up his gifts and dragged his suitcase to the front desk sister's workroom for temporary storage. He then walked out to the office building and came to Deputy Director Liu's office.
"The elbow is here?" Deputy Director Liu greeted him with a smile: "Editor Cao will be here soon. Let's have tea first. How was the harvest in Dayi yesterday?"
"Collect I bought two porcelain bottles and a pile of old paper." Zhou Zhi said, "It cost a lot."
"How much is it?"
"You can get 50,000 to 60,000 yuan."
"It doesn't matter. Editor-in-chief Cao is very confident in your "Sichuan Flavors". It will be published by People's Publishing House with a first printing of 30,000 yuan. It will be sold by Xinhua Bookstore. Take a look at the scenery in the province. ”
“A book with art photography illustrations on coated paper, but I haven’t made one for a while. The information in your book is very detailed. Click on the picture to search. "Ji, you can find photocopies of the information, as well as the origin stories of some dishes."
This is a thoughtful request. For example, for the dish of stilted beef, the pictures include not only the dishes, but also the story of Su Jigu. The materials mentioned in the story such as the Sumei River in the town, Manshui Bridge, and the old pharmacy can allow readers to be brought into the environment where the story of this dish takes place during the reading process.
This is actually the original version of "A Bite of China". It uses words instead of lines, but it is more beautiful; it uses pictures instead of images, but it stimulates the imagination more. It can be said that each has its own advantages.
