Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Gu Siwei didn't have the time to think about it carefully, so he just forgot about it.

After leaving the conference room, Gu Siwei went to the small pier on Zhuangzi's side, got on the boat and headed to the other side. As soon as he reached the middle of the river, he saw a boat sailing towards Zhuangzi.

The ship was not an ordinary ship, but a machine ship. This kind of ship is only available at the radar station. Gu Siwei originally thought it was someone coming from the radar station, but after taking a closer look, it didn't look like it, and then he remembered , now there is not only a machine ship at the radar station, but I heard that there is also a machine ship in Likou Town downstream.

Thinking of it, Gu Siwei naturally became curious about who was on the boat.

I am!

Gu Siwei saw clearly the person standing on the bow of the boat and couldn't help but say this.

There were seven or eight people standing on the bow of the boat, most of whom Gu Siwei knew, and one of them was none other than his friend Zhang Zechun.

Apart from Zhang Zechun, one could vaguely see many people in the cabin.

There are people in the cabin, and even Zhang Zechun has to stand outside. It's easy to guess. It must be Zheng Liangyu in the cabin, or someone older than Zheng Liangyu. Otherwise, there is no way Zhang Zechun can't even get into the cabin. Go in.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible to be wrong in paying attention to that. Don’t look at it from inside or outside, it represents status.

At this moment, Zhang Zechun also saw Gu Siwei, but he did not say hello loudly to Gu Siwei. Instead, he smiled at Gu Siwei, turned around and walked into the cabin, saying a few words inside.

After a while, the people in the cabin came out.

Gu Siwei looked at it and thought: What a guy! I said who is it?

Not only Zheng Liangyu came out of the cabin, but also Li Fanghai!

Gu Siwei never expected that Secretary Li would be here today.

So Gu Siwei waved his hand in the direction of the ship and leaned over.

The machine ship stopped at Zhuangzi's pier, and Gu Siwei's boat also approached at this time.

Li Fanghai looked at Gu Siwei and said with a smile: "I came uninvited, so I won't be annoying, right?"

Gu Siwei laughed after hearing this and said: "Why don't you invite Secretary Li to come? How could anyone be disgusted?"

Hearing what Li Fanghai said, no matter how stupid Gu Siwei was, he understood that this family was here to have a look, and he came with his official status. It was not easy for Gu Siwei to yell like Lao Litou.

He said it, but Gu Siwei felt strange in his heart, so he couldn't help but glance at Zheng Liangyu and thought to himself: Didn't you, an old boy, come to explain that the genius is here? Why did you play a trick on me and come here in a hurry today? , is this suspicion that I am committing fraud?

Zheng Liangyu was also quite embarrassed. Secretary Li was leaving today, and there were no plans to come to the Sixth Team today. However, he heard that it was now more convenient to get to Zhuangzi, and boats could come up directly from the downstream, so he said Want to come and see.

Everyone knew that Secretary Li's so-called casual question was not casual at all, but that he had already known that he could come to Zhuangzi smoothly, so Zheng Liangyu had no choice but to accompany his old superior.

It's not that Zheng Liangyu wanted to make a backlash and conduct a surprise inspection on Gu Siwei. Old Zheng's brain is not good. If he does this, even if some problems are found, what can he do with Gu Siwei? If you can't be beaten or scolded, why bother with this?

So now Zheng Liangyu is also mute and cannot tell how hard it is to eat Huanglian.

"A lot has changed!"

Li Fanghai looked at the current Zhuangzi and was filled with emotion. Now he felt that all the appearances in his memory no longer existed.

Not only has he changed, he has changed so much that he doesn't even dare to admit it anymore.

Not only him, but everyone who came with him was confused, and a question popped up in their minds: Is this a rural area?

Is this a rural area? Then where did you see it?

Isn’t that nonsense? If this were a rural area, how rich our country would be!

This is a park!

Moreover, the environment in city parks is not as good as here. Looking around, the green tiles and white walls are vaguely hidden among the shady green trees, shyly showing a corner or an eaves. Looking up, whether it is by the river The road leading up the mountain is paved with large square strips of bluestone.

From the nearest home, a stone road stretches up to the door of the house. At the exposed courtyard door, in a small flowerbed surrounded by a white fence, colorful flowers bloom.

In the middle of the half-open courtyard door, a big yellow dog stood, looking at everyone with a wary expression.

"It has just been renovated. If you had come here last year, you would have seen that it was all a mess." Gu Siwei stood nearby and said with a smile.

Li Fanghai hummed and said to Gu Siwei: "Take me for a spin!"

"Okay, let's go see the folks' houses first?" Gu Siwei asked.

Li Fanghai smiled and said: "I am a guest doing whatever I want, you can just take it with you and watch."

Gu Siwei stopped talking and took Li Fanghai up the steps and up the slope. As he walked, he introduced whose home it was when he encountered a house.

"Old Zheng's head?"

Li Fanghai arrived at Zheng Youcai's home and looked at the small courtyard with white walls and gray tiles, feeling a little lost for a moment.

Gu Siwei nodded, hummed, and replied: "Originally, there was no such thing as him, but don't you know that old man, even if there is no wind, you can create a three-foot wave?"

"Can I go in and have a look?" Li Fanghai was a little curious.

After hearing this, Gu Siwei said: "I'm afraid this won't work. This old man has gone to give lectures."

"He's still giving lectures?" Li Fanghai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "What can he teach?"

Gu Siwei said: "Let's talk about weaving baskets."

Pfft, when the group of people following him saw Li Fanghai laughing, they all started to laugh. The basket weaver went to give a lecture, but it sounded like a joke.

When Gu Siwei met, he said: "I'm really going to give lectures, I'm not joking! I went to a design school in the UK to give lectures on Chinese folk weaving art."

This is really not Gu Siwei trying to put money on the old man Zheng Youcai's face. Gu Siwei never thought that he originally asked the old man to go to the Hong Kong market to join in the fun and have some fun. Of course, the main thing Let the little guys from Jingshi Polytechnic take a look at our traditional Chinese craftsmanship.

Who knew that a bunch of red-haired and green-eyed British guys saw the flowers and birds made by the old man and thought that this was art? They all thought how could a piece of bamboo strips be made like this, so some British I compiled something written by Zheng Youcai.

oh! I forgot, now Mr. Zheng Youcai’s work has been brought back to the UK, and it has aroused a small following in the British art circle. Most artists are full of food and have nothing to do. They have to find a way to make people think they are special. , everything is special, even when pooping, it can produce a thread shape that is different from ordinary people.

Therefore, someone contacted the organizer of the exhibition and wanted Zheng Youcai to go to the UK to hold exhibitions.

This happened last year. This year, Lao Zheng was invited by a British design school to lecture on the traditional Chinese folk art of bamboo weaving.

"He can still give lectures?" Li Fanghai felt happy when he thought of Zheng Youcai's appearance.

What does Zheng Youcai look like in his eyes? What does Uncle Zhao Benshan look like during the Spring Festival Gala? Zheng Youcai is three points worse than that.

But now that Zheng Youcai is here, it's completely different.

The old man usually wears a beige short coat, crimson check overalls, British handmade brown work boots, a light brown cap on his head, and a wooden pipe in his hand. He had a gray moustache and pretended to be wearing late-night round glasses.

A proper artistic style in other people's eyes.

In Gu Siwei's eyes, the old man's pretense of money was of a high standard.

You said so, is it not excessive to share a house on Zhuangzi?

It’s definitely not too much! So after Lao Zheng made trouble twice, Gu Siwei had no choice but to assign a house to Lao Zheng. Lao Zheng was also justified, because Lao Zheng's household registration was transferred.

Gu Siwei said helplessly: "I didn't know before, but some people may be born with it."

Regarding Lao Zheng's ability to brag about coins, Lao Gu now helps him without even trying to help him.

Some people may be born to be talkative. If an average person encounters a group of people surrounding him and is asked to say a few words to a group of strangers he does not know, his heart will definitely tremble.

But Lao Zheng seemed to be naturally unafraid of this scene. He opened his mouth to talk nonsense, treating these strangers as old friends, and he talked endlessly.

Gu Siwei hadn't heard of it, but had seen the video of Lao Zheng bragging about the coins. If that guy Gu Siwei hadn't known him, he would have thought that Lao Zheng also came here in disguise. Before he got through, he must have been a lecturer at Chenggong School.

This kind of person has neither stage fright nor fear of life. He can boast and talk. To be honest, it would be a pity not to be an artist.

So Lao Zheng is an artist now.

Thanks to Gu Siwei's spring breeze, his career skyrocketed.

"What he makes now is very expensive," Gu Siwei said.

As soon as this was mentioned, Gu Siwei became happy.

Nowadays, the items compiled by Lao Zheng are definitely not available in China in terms of size, because Chinese people don’t think these items are expensive at all, and the compiled items are all shipped to Europe, such as a bamboo and rattan chair, Lao Zheng’s work. It just sold for 10,000 pounds in London.

At this time, the purchasing power of ten thousand pounds in China is not scary, but terrifying.

"I still have a rocking chair made by him," Li Fanghai said with a smile as a joke.

Gu Siwei said: "Now it is at least 13,000 pounds in Europe! And even if it is ordered, it is not in stock, and it will take two years at the earliest to get it."

Li Fanghai was instantly petrified.

"So expensive?"

"This is the price on the market. The more complex our handmade things are and the more they show off their craftsmanship, the more valuable they think they are," Gu Siwei said.

Li Fanghai nodded, not knowing whether he understood or dealt with it.

Gu Siwei led everyone to continue climbing the stairs.

"This is the house of Yang Chuanwu's family."

"I won't look at his house." Li Fanghai said with a smile: "Just look at the house over there. Whose house is that?"

"That's from Luan Jiangu's family," Gu Siwei explained.

Li Fanghai said: "Is it the one who married a female educated youth from Shanghai and later got divorced?"

"Then you are remembering it wrong. The one you are talking about is Guo Yonglei. This one is also married to a female educated youth, but he is still here. His lover's name is Xia Tingfang."

"Let's go in and have a look. Is this house okay?"

Li Fanghai asked with a smile.

Gu Siwei took a look and said, "The door is not locked. There may be someone at home."
