Chapter 761 Calls from various places
“Put it off for a while.” Minister Hu breathed a sigh of relief: “If necessary, we can explain it to your parents.”
“No, no, no…” Zhou Zhi waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it, let me explain..."
If he really wants to trouble the national ministries and commissions to come forward, he is afraid of scaring his parents!
That night, Zhou Zhi’s paging broke out.
Now the paging can finally be roamed, and then the family members, teachers, friends, classmates, and partners in the capital, Shu, Manzhou, Qianzhou, Jingyang, Dajing Township, and even Hong Kong Island all know about him. College entrance examination results, have called him.
It is too difficult to get more than 500 points this year. 512 points, in previous years, it was the provincial champion level.
My mother was going crazy. Many people didn't know Zhou Zhi's paging, so they all called home. As a result, her child was still on a "business trip". At first, he was in Shudu, and then he suddenly went to the capital.
This is even better. We are still arranging the teacher appreciation banquet here, but I heard that they are going to fly directly to Hong Kong Island.
"Why are you going to Hong Kong Island again? What did you tell mom about what you did?" Mom said earnestly: "It's such a big deal. If you mess with it, you have to tell the family. There's no point in running away. There is a way..."
Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Mom, can you take a guess in the right direction? It's indeed a big deal. There is a big collector in Hong Kong who has two very important cultural relics in his hands that he wants to sell. Now these two books Calligraphy is wanted by both the islanders and the Americans. It is the intention of Mr. Qi and Mr. Wang. Think, you want me to go and see if I can get these two books back..."
"Is it just you? There is no one in such a big country? Why do you think you can do this?”
“I was also beaten. It's time to catch up!" Zhou Zhi knew that at this time he had to follow his mother's words and complain: "I said I can't do it, but don't I have some friendship with Director Li? He is also a famous cultural person on Hong Kong Island; Ah, and Cai Gong, my set of books also received Cai Gong’s support and recommendation. , the traditional Chinese version is sold so well overseas.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, what does this have to do with you going to Hong Kong to do calligraphy?”
“Mom, what do you think? Think about it, Hong Kong Island is almost a city, right?”
"Absolutely."
"How many cultural people can there be in a city? Are big collectors also cultural people? Do we always have to lower our heads to see each other?"
"Just It seems that in our county, the godfather, the fourth cousin, and the old men in the county magistrate’s office all work together every day.”
"It seems right..."
"So Qi Gong and Wang Lao thought that I could at least establish friendship in the past." Zhou Zhi said: "Actually, I only played a small role at most, and the big shots didn't care. I said both, the Foreign Affairs Office of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage is in charge of the matter, and if they insist on me going, then just go and treat it as a tourist.”
"That's not possible. Since you agreed, you have to try your best to do things well." Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Zhi retreated, his mother's tone immediately changed and she began to push him forward: "Your godfather and your fourth uncle I like you the most. Those old guys in the county magistrate’s office are also nice to you. It shows that you are all mixed up with these people. It’s earned.”
“Even if it’s a side drum, we have to be the best side drum.”
“But what should we do at home?” Zhou Zhi said in turn. : "Didn't the teacher-appreciation banquet be held at home before, together with Shu Yi's family?" We may not be able to be together now." My mother sighed: "Speaking of which, you took Shu Yi to Shudu and then left her there and ignored her, which made it difficult for me to explain to your Aunt Jiang Shudu..."
“Mom, you have to be responsible for what you say. Damn it, why did you ask me to abduct her to the capital of Shu?" Zhou Zhi blindly guessed that his mother was testing his relationship with Jiang Shuyi, and immediately put on a confident look: "I casually suggested that she be raised by her uncle. Get fatter, isn’t she at her uncle’s house now?”
"And she has so many classmates and relatives in Shudu. They are busy all day long. You should pay more attention to your son."
"You can be obedient if I care about you?" Mom was still a little angry: "Give Shu Yi a shot Call her and ask her how to get back to Jiachuan. Let’s see if Xiaolei can find a ride back. If we can’t let Lao Yan make another trip, you’ll have to pay for it!”
“What’s wrong with this?” Zhou Zhi? Some people were dumbfounded: "She is not a child anymore. I went to the Lotus Pond to buy a sleeper ticket and came back."
"The Lotus Pond is in a mess now!" My mother disagreed: "Shu Yijiao, a girl, do you think you are like a wild boar? You brought the person out, and now that you have run away, it becomes even more We have to find a way to get them back safely! By the way, how many days will you be away this time?”
“I don’t know yet. You won’t be able to stay for too long, right? After all, my situation is a bit special and I have spent too much money on cultural relics. It’s not easy to pay the bills.”
Zhou Zhi was really not joking when he said this. Today's various systems are strict and rigid. He is outside the system, so the Cultural Relics Bureau really can't reimburse him for this "travel expense."
Zhou Zhi wanted to spend his own money but was rejected. This is also "against the rules" because it is difficult to buy air tickets now and it is also difficult to apply for a passport. These are all done through the relationship with the Cultural Relics Bureau. Yes, you must leave traces of expenses in the bureau.
So this money can only go to the "extra expenses" account of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. It is a simple thing, but it is very complicated.
"My son may be patient!" This is what my mother likes to hear the most: "Your dad said that there was a chance for him to go out for inspection in the county this year, but the result was not as fast as yours!"
< br>This is also a special trend now. Following the spring breeze of opening up to the outside world, units at all levels from top to bottom responded actively and organized "exchange inspections".
In fact, it is often a disguised form of welfare tourism, but it does also allow many domestic "country bumpkins" to gain some knowledge and understand "Western modernization" in the most intuitive way.
There are actually many such opportunities in ministries, commissions, and central enterprises. Zhou Zhi’s unit in his previous life often had them. He could even work directly in overseas agencies until retirement. However, this kind of thing is not possible in today’s county governments and counties. In the bureau, that's rare.
However, such exchanges are usually arranged in autumn and winter. At that time, everyone is not too busy, and you can still wear a suit, tie and woolen coat. Lesbians can wear scarves to "integrate" with international standards and improve their image. excellent.
Like Zhou Zhi now, his image is not good at all. When Mr. Ma came over, the child was wearing a vest, pants and slippers, with a cattail fan in one hand and a watermelon in the other.
“I’ve come to a wrapping conference for Rongbaozhai in Liulichang.” Mr. Ma took out two large boxes directly from the trunk of the car: “I can find anything from the calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty. But I have found them all for you. The famous ones like Zheng Banqiao’s Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou cannot afford them. The best ones here are Dong Qichang, Wang Duo, Zheng Yun and Liang Tongshu.”
This is a funny thing to say. At this stage, there is a magical upside-down phenomenon in Chinese calligraphy and painting works.
