Chapter 823 Hometown People
Author: Erzi Congzhou
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 seafood every morning!"
"Come on, hurry up, I'm drooling because you said it!" Guan Tingting also patted the car door: "Mom, please remember to call Yao Ma and ask her to buy the yellow spicy dices first and wait for brother Zhuzi to get home to make them."
"You're really good. Your elbow brother hasn't even set out yet, and he's been assigned all the work at home." Guan Ma scolded.
However, Guan Tingting was already busy looking 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 had quietly packed it for Guan Tingting yesterday. She smiled and said, "I will prepare delicious food for you when you come back in a few days. It's so fast. I'm a college student now!"
When the car passed Jianzhou, the road conditions began to become unsightly. One lane was widened on each side of the road. However, half of the road was being paved and had not yet dried, and the other half was a gravel roadbed, waiting to be poured.
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.
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.
This "big road" with four lanes in both directions and an emergency lane each has 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.
Moreover, this car uses coil spring suspension, which greatly improves comfort.
Coupled with high-end audio, spacious space, comfortable seats, cool air conditioning, plenty of food and drink, and the chirping Guan Tingting, even though we often encountered traffic jams, it was not a problem.
I 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 it was hard to see. It looked like it had just come back from an off-road trip in the jungle.
Returning to the county seat, when we were about to arrive at Anleshan Elementary School, our car was stopped.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhi rolled down the window.
"Enter the parking lot, wash the car and go into town." A manager-looking person was a little disappointed when he heard Zhou Zhi's Jiachuan accent.
Zhou Zhi understood that this was a means of generating revenue for the county. The toll station that was set up some time ago was demolished by the superiors, but now it has been reintroduced in a different way: "How much does it cost?"
The reason why I was a little disappointed when I heard the Jiachuan accent was that the price of foreign license plates could have been increased.
"Ten yuan!" The manager frowned as he looked at Zhou Zhi's car. It didn't make sense to consider it a truck, but it was a bit of a disadvantage to consider it a jeep.
In the end, for the sake of Zhou Zhi speaking Jia Sichuan 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 can 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, almost all cars entering the city must be washed, and there are more than a dozen workers in the five parking spaces who are still busy.
There were a lot of people smoking in the rest area on one side. When they saw this tall and powerful big yellow car, with round searchlights hanging on the roof and above the rearview mirror, and a diving tube on the side, they couldn't help but get curious and gathered around it.
come over.
"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 didn't know this man at all, but seeing that he either knew his mother or his father, he didn't dare to lie at all, and said obediently: "Yes, uncle, I just came back from the capital of Shu and borrowed my cousin's car to drive for two days.
God, I don’t even know what it’s called specifically.”
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 it a bit exaggerated?" "Really, I got some kind of horse to attract the attention of the boss of the Li family..." "Isn't the boss of the Li family a scientist? What kind of horse does he need? A horse racer.
Is it Li Laosan?"
"Call me uncle! I'm older than your dad!" The middle-aged man suddenly felt bright on his face: "When you were a child, you played in the yard of the supply and marketing cooperative, sticking your butt out and watching the ants..."
"Uncle, the one with his butt sticking out to look at the ants is Wu Qiaomu." Zhou Zhi would never let go of a moment when he could take advantage of his sworn brother.
"Yes!" the middle-aged man said with a smile: "At that time, I thought, if you can look at something so focused, you will be very good when you grow up."
"Uncle, as I just said, that's my adopted brother. He watched the ants move all afternoon." Zhou Zhi felt so embarrassed.
"Your adopted brother is quite powerful." The man smiled and said, "But you are not bad either."
"I, my mother said I didn't do anything, why am I so focused?"
"You have been staring at your adopted brother all afternoon, and you are very focused!"
"...I didn't! That was my mother! I didn't!"
"What do you remember when you were a child?" The man patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder, as if I am an adult and don't care about you as a child: "I went to the water room to get water twice that day, and you looked really good there.
Of…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 nearby introduced: "Bureau Li back then... Director Li, you were in the supply and marketing system in 1978 or 1989, right?"
"Yes, Yuanjiang and I were both educated youths who returned to the city back then. Because we could write something, we were transferred to the bureau." Director Li fell into the memory mode: "And Zhao Qingping, who is now in the Urban Construction Bureau, he was in the cement factory back then, and we
Several are in one batch."
This was really not pretending. Zhou Zhi quickly said: "Hello Uncle Li, I was too young at that time and couldn't remember things."
Director Li waved his hands with a smile and said to the people around him: "Nowadays, they say that the old supply and marketing dormitory has good feng shui. You all know that, right? It was originally a rice barn. The children of County Magistrate Tang years ago did what Xiao Zhou said.
My elder brother, Wu Qiaomu, was admitted to Beijing Foreign Studies University, and now Xiao Zhou is even better, having won the provincial champion! They all came from the supply and marketing cooperative compound!"
"No, no, my sworn brother is really powerful, I'm just being blind." Zhou Zhi quickly humbled himself.
"Didn't you say you went to Hong Kong Island?" Director Li said: "You also went to meet Li Qiyan. That day, you were sitting behind him at some symposium, right?"
Zhou Zhi had no choice but to find a less 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". I happened to know a little bit of English and Cantonese calligraphy, so the old man asked me to follow Mr. Wang from the Cultural Relics Bureau.
The director went to work as a translator."
