Chapter 824 Hometown People
Zhou Zhi patted the car door: "Don't worry, Tingting is my biological sister. Now we live by the river, and we can buy the freshest river fresh food every morning!"
“Go quickly, go quickly, I’m drooling when you say it” Here we come!" Guan Tingting also patted the car door: "Mom, please remember to call Yaoni and ask her to buy the yellow pepper first and wait for Brother Zhuzi to get home."
"You are really good, Brother Zhuzi. We haven’t even set off yet, and we’ve already got all the work to do when we get home,” Guan Ma said angrily.
However, Guan Tingting was already busy rummaging through things: "Sister Shu Yi, please come and sit with me in the back. Where is the autograph and photo?"
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Well, Guan Ma, let's go."
Guan Ma put a bag into the car, but she quietly packed it for Guan Tingting yesterday, and said with a smile: "Come back a few days early I'll make delicious food for you, it's so fast, elbow You’re a college student now!”
The road conditions began to become unsightly after the car passed through Jianzhou. The road was widened by one lane on each side. However, half of the road was paved and was not dry yet, and the other half was wet. The gravel roadbed is waiting to be poured.
The traffic in the entire southern Shu Province has now returned to before liberation overnight.
In addition to the provincial roads connecting cities, there is also a very important road that is also under construction in full swing.
This is the first expressway between Sichuan and Chongqing, and also the first high-standard highway in the entire Shu Province. Construction began when Zhou Zhi was in high school. It has been three years now and only half of it has been completed.
On this "big road" with four lanes in both directions and an emergency lane each, there are only a few sections where sports cars can be driven, and most of the rest are worse than provincial roads.
At this time, the advantages of a car with high chassis diesel power and strong low-speed torque are highlighted.
And this car uses coil spring suspension, which greatly improves the comfort.
Coupled with high-end audio, spacious space, comfortable seats, cool air conditioning, plenty of food and drink, and the chattering Guan Tingting, even though we often encounter traffic jams, we are not at all sad.
Just like this, we drove fast and slow all the way, and had a well-received roadside hotpot in Neizhou. After passing Longzhou, the vehicle was finally able to drive normally.
However, the outside of the car was so dirty that I couldn’t even see it. It looked like I had just returned from an off-road trip in the jungle.
Back in the county town, when we were about to arrive at Anleshan Primary School, our car was stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Zhi rolled down the window.
"Enter the parking lot, wash the car and go into the city." A man who looked like a manager was a little disappointed when he heard Zhou Zhi's Jiachuan accent.
Zhou Zhi understood that this was a means of generating income for the county. Some time ago, the toll station was set up and demolished by the superiors, but now it is put up again in a different way: "How much is it?"
The reason why I was disappointed when I heard the Jiachuan accent. , it is the foreign license plate that could have raised the price.
“Ten yuan!” The manager frowned as he looked at Zhou Zhi’s car. It was unreasonable to consider the car as a truck, but it was a bit of a loss for it to be considered a jeep.
In the end, for the sake of Zhou Zhi speaking Jiachuan dialect, we accepted him as a jeep.
The price is actually fair, and it would be troublesome to wash the car at home. Zhou Zhi readily agreed: "Okay! There is no need to wash the inside of the car, we will just wash the outer shell."
After parking the car, Zhou Zhi got out first and used a cleaning scraper to scrape off the thick mud under the door: "Shuyi, Tingting, come down and take a walk." The business here is pretty good, and almost all cars going into the city are It must be washed once, and there are more than a dozen workers in the five parking spaces who are busy.
A bunch of people were smoking in the rest area on one side. They saw this tall and powerful car. There were round searchlights hanging on the roof and above the rearview mirror, and there was another one on the side. The big yellow cars on the diving tube couldn't help but be curious and gathered around.
"Eh? Is this Xiao Zhou?" A middle-aged man wearing trousers and a shirt with a big belly saw Zhou Zhi and said, "Did you drive this car back? What kind of car is this?"
Zhou Zhi doesn’t know this man at all , but seeing that he either knew his mother or his father, he didn’t dare to talk nonsense at all, and said obediently: "Yes, uncle, I just came back from Shudu. I borrowed my cousin's car to drive for two days. I don't know what your name is." Don’t know.”
The people next to him suddenly lost interest in the car: "Is this Zhou Zhi?" "Who is Zhou Zhi?" "He won the top prize in the liberal arts department of the college entrance examination this time..." "Did you watch the broadcast the day he was on the news? Sit down Behind Li Qiyan..." "Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" "Really, I got a horse that attracted the attention of the boss of the Li family..." "Isn't the boss of the Li family a scientist? What do you need? Horse? The horse racer should be Li Laosan, right?"
"Call me uncle! I'm older than your dad!" The middle-aged man suddenly felt bright: "You were playing in the yard of the supply and marketing cooperative when you were a child. Standing there with your butt stuck out and looking at the ants..."
"Uncle, the one with your butt stuck out and looking at the ants is Wu Qiaomu" Zhou Zhi would never let go when he could take advantage of his sworn brother.
“Yes!” The middle-aged man said with a smile: “At that time, I thought that being able to look at something with such concentration will make you a very good kid when he grows up.”
“Uncle, As I just said, that's the foster brother, he watched Ant move all afternoon, "Zhou Zhi was so embarrassed.
"Your sworn brother is pretty awesome." The man smiled and said, "But you're not bad either."
"I, my mother said I didn't do anything, why did I focus so much?"
"You have been staring at your adopted brother all afternoon, and you are very focused!"
"...I didn't! Then It’s my mother! I didn’t!”
“What do you remember from that time?” The man patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder, as if I didn’t care about you as a child: “I went to the water room that day. I pumped water twice and saw that you were really looking there... Do you know who I am?"
Zhou Zhi could only smile awkwardly: "Sorry, I can't remember, but you must be an old supply and marketing person, right?"
"This is Director Li of our Light Industry Bureau," someone next to him introduced: " Bureau Li back then... Bureau Li, when you were in the supply and marketing system, you were in Q789 Years ago, right?"
"Yes, Yuanjiang and I were both educated youths who returned to the city, and were transferred to the bureau because we could write something." Bureau Li fell into memory mode: "And now. Zhao Qingping from the Urban Construction Bureau, when he was at the cement factory, we were all together Approved."
This is really not fake, Zhou Zhi said quickly: "Uncle Li, I was too young to remember anything."
Director Li waved his hand with a smile. , and said to the people around him: "Now people say that the old supply and marketing dormitory is Feng shui is good, you all know it, right? It was originally a rice barn. The son of County Magistrate Tang years ago, Wu Qiaomu, who was the godbrother of Xiao Zhou, was admitted to Beijing Foreign Language School. Now Xiao Zhou is even better, winning the provincial champion. We’re here! They’re all from the supply and marketing cooperative’s courtyard!”
"No, no, my sworn brother is the real one, I'm just being blind." Zhou Zhi quickly humbled himself.
“Didn’t I say you went to Hong Kong Island?” Director Li said, “I also went to see Li Qiyan. On that day, during the symposium, you were sitting behind him at some symposium, right?”
Zhou Zhi I had to find a non-scary way and said: "It was a coincidence. I was studying with Mr. Wang at the time, and Mr. Li wanted to donate "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", and it happened that I was doing English and Cantonese calligraphy. I knew a little bit about it, so the old man asked me to work as an interpreter with Director Wang of the Cultural Relics Bureau.”
Director Li didn’t know who Mr. Wang was in Zhou Zhi’s words, so he thought he was a big shot in Beijing. It was reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Yes, your English is very good, right?"
