rebirth of change

Chapter 350 Chapter IX Inscription Gift

"The performance was wonderful, why haven't I heard of this nation before?" the old man asked casually while applauding.

"They have been living in the mountains before, and they were discovered only recently. Their culture is well preserved, with only 12 villages in total. Next, we plan to build an eco-museum to protect their culture. Today is their first time. To show their culture to the outside world,” Chen Qigang replied standing aside.

As the head of the district, Chen Qigang is naturally familiar with such things. Chen Kangjie sent people to find these people. As for the construction of the eco-museum, it was also Chen Kangjie's initiative. Chen Kangjie was a little sad that the cultures of many ethnic minorities were gradually lost and forgotten. With the advancement of globalization and industrialization, the assimilation of ethnic minorities is very serious. Young people no longer learn the traditions of their own ethnic groups. This is not necessarily a good thing. Chen Kangjie believes that the splendid culture of multi-ethnic groups should be preserved as much as possible.

From the long-term consideration of Qianzhou, the multi-ethnic cultural expression is a great tourism resource. People in big cities hope to go to towns and villages to not only see the green mountains and green waters, but also feel our greatness. The history, customs, language, costumes, singing and dancing of each nation in the country.

"Ethnic policies must be implemented well," the old man added.

"We have always implemented it in strict accordance with the requirements of the state," Chen Qigang responded affirmatively.

These ethnic minority compatriots don't know who these visitors are. They haven't been connected to the power supply yet, and they still burn oil lamps. Naturally, there will be no TV or radio. It is impossible to know these important people. They have only recently begun to leave the village. , has been isolated from the world before.

In Chen Kangjie's memory, it was discovered by a Norwegian, John Jestron, during his travels a few years later. He was very interested in the culture of ethnic minorities. The Association of Museums has cooperated to establish the first ecomuseum in Asia here.

Now that Chen Kangjie has been reborn, he certainly doesn’t want such a job to require foreign participation and funding. It’s a bit ironic, so he entrusted Qian Degui to do this job before. Anyway, he is very idle, and Qian Degui spent almost half a year These 1800 villages were only found in the mountains at an altitude of 12 meters. For this, Chen Kangjie rewarded Qian Degui with a bonus of 5 yuan.

After finding this group of people, he introduced them to Dong Siying, hoping that the tourism group would develop them and set up an eco-museum with the district 'government'. Chen Kangjie had seen pictures of the villages they lived in, and their houses really looked like Smurfs s home.

The old man is not very interested in the modern amusement projects in the Happy Valley that has not yet been built, so he just glanced at the Happy Valley not far from the Chinese Garden and ended it hastily.

Since it was the Lantern Festival, we had to eat the Lantern Festival anyway. The old man invited Chen Kangjie's family to celebrate the Lantern Festival together, which was regarded as a thank-you family feast, and only one outsider was invited, He Baoguo.As Chen Kangjie's godfather, He Baoguo was considered half of the family, only Chen Kangjie's godmother, Zhao Yuexiang, did not come to the city.

When Ma Fangqin heard that the old man's family was invited to the guest house of the Mining Bureau, she shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, I'm a woman in a family, and I'm afraid to see such a big leader. I can't even speak, it's embarrassing."

"Mom, in fact, the old man's family is very kind. It's no different from the old man next door. If you don't believe me, you can ask my second sister. He has met her before. Let's go," Chen Kangjie persuaded Ma Fangqin.

"Mom, what Lao Wen said is true. It's not good if you don't go when invited," Chen Yufen said.

"Second sister, I heard that you were so nervous that day that you didn't even say a few words. It was Lin Ling who replaced you."

"I'm giving him a chance to show off. Besides, being nervous that day doesn't mean being nervous today. Our whole family is going, and you are not afraid. What am I afraid of?" Chen Yufen said contradictory words stiffly.

"Tut tsk tsk, brag, keep bragging, when we were talking about the loan that day, it was only me and the eldest sister who talked, but you didn't say a word." Chen Kangjie's third brother Chen Yuchang joined in to add fuel to the fire.

"Those are not the old man, okay? They are all father's superiors. I have to take care of face. I'm not as anxious as you are, not to mention the number is so small. It was Lao Wen's help that made it tenfold. Who are we bragging about?" ? I was low-key, understand?", Chen Yufen is not one to admit defeat, it is not her character, these two performances are both reasonable and unexpected for her.

Chen Kangjie's second sister, Chen Yufen, is originally the kind of person who is sometimes aggressive and carefree, and sometimes reserved and knows how to hide her clumsiness.

"Let's go, we have to go, it's okay, go and come back after eating glutinous rice balls," Chen Qigang said to Ma Fangqin while sitting on the sofa. Originally, he was persuading Ma Fangqin to go to the guest house of the Mining Bureau. What I got was the opposite effect.

"That's right, what are you afraid of? Old Wen is here. He can eat and drink with others for so many days. Don't we dare to go if we still go?" said Chen Mei, Chen Kangjie's fifth sister.

After Chen Kangjie accompanied the old man back to Liuzhi, it was no secret to his family where he went to celebrate the New Year some time ago. After Chen Yuchang heard the truth, he said, "Brother, you are awesome, old man I can’t do it if I don’t admire you, I’ve made friends with the old man.”They all want to meet the old man in person, so that they can brag in the future, whether it is to classmates or friends, this is a matter of face.

"Actually, if you think about it this way, if you eat at home, what you eat is your own, if you go there to eat, what you eat is still your own, and Xiaojie pays for the meal." He Baoguo also joined in to persuade.

"It's okay if you don't mention it. If you mention it, I will be angry. Chen Qigang, you are an official and want to entertain the leaders. There is nothing to say. Lao Wen only saved so little money, and you spent it all at once. How can you be a father?" What?", Ma Fangqin was a little uncomfortable with Chen Qigang spending so much money to renovate the guest house of the Mining Bureau, and to provide reception, no matter how old the official is, every mother will regard her child as the first A treasure.

"Mom, that's what I promised. Besides, it's just an investment. If you spend it, you will earn back doubled. Don't worry, go and change your clothes. It's time." Chen Kangjie stood up and told his old man Dad testified to rehabilitate, hey, I really don't know how Dad got the money back then, maybe he chose to steal it.

After a few words of persuasion from the crowd, Ma Fangqin went back to her room angrily and changed into the high-end women's winter clothes that Chen Kangjie had brought back from Hong Kong.

In fact, after Ma Fangqin went there in person, I realized that the old man's family is really easy to get along with. The content of the chat is basically the family's gossip, and the work is not mentioned at all. Chen Kangjie is the center of everyone's chat, whether it is the old man or the grandmother. ''Grandma', and other family members kept praising Chen Kangjie and thanking him for his warm hospitality. At this time, Ma Fangqin's performance was completely different from that at home, "Thank you, thank you, it's all due, it's rare for you to come Let’s go, this kid is not very big, but he is the most sensible.”

Today, there are dragon and lion dances and stilt-walking performances on the streets and small squares of Liuzhi. There will be performances on the Lantern Festival every year. Most of them are organized by the cultural teams of various units of the Mining Bureau. There will also be groups participating, mostly middle-aged and elderly people who like to be lively.

Many people on the street are celebrating the Lantern Festival, and at the same time eulogizing the economic achievements made in the past year. Most people's lives have been improved to some extent. Chen Qigang, Chen Kangjie, and the old man are each holding a bowl of Gray and blue glutinous rice balls are being eaten.

"How can this glutinous rice ball be this color? It's delicious. I haven't eaten it before." The old man asked casually after biting half of a glutinous rice ball.

"This is made with buckwheat. Usually everyone eats white rice noodle glutinous rice balls, so I will order some fresh ones for you. Buckwheat can be made into buckwheat rice and buckwheat flour. When you leave tomorrow, do you want to take it with you?" Let's go a little bit?" Chen Kangjie explained after swallowing a glutinous rice ball.

Chen Kangjie ate it at a friend's house before he was reborn, and he thought it was delicious, so he suggested to the chef to make it this way, and the taste was well received.

. . . . . .

"Thanks to your family's kind hospitality, the expense is not small, I can't get the money out, I'm just a poor old man, I'll give you two inscriptions." After eating the Lantern Festival, the old man asked Lin Minchang to display the four treasures of the study.

It seems that the old man has already thought about exchanging words for food money, otherwise how can he say that the four treasures of the study will be ready soon, Chen Kangjie slandered in his heart.

"That's a good relationship, your words are worth a fortune." Chen Kangjie didn't mean to be polite at all.

"Then thank you chief." As an elder, Chen Qigang still had to follow the etiquette.

The old man picked up the 'mao' brush and moistened the inside of the inkstone, and wrote four characters on two pieces of rice paper, 'Qin Ming Wen Si' and 'Yun Gong Ke Rang', and finally left the signature and date.

Looking at the eight characters, the other juniors didn't quite understand what they meant. People like He Baoguo and Chen Qigang felt that they understood a little bit, but they were still unclear.

"Old man, your inscription is a bit big, but I can't bear it." Chen Kangjie was the second person besides the old man to know the source and meaning of these eight characters, so he felt flattered.

"Since you know, tell me, where do these eight characters come from and what do they mean?" the old man asked the school.

Those who have never studied in a private school or those who are not familiar with the classical Four Books and Five Classics will find it difficult to understand the meaning of these words. The old man went to a private school before liberation and studied abroad. Looking through the classics of Confucianism, Chen Kangjie has the background of his previous life, and now he has read a lot of books, and his memory is almost as good as a memory. Of course, he understands the meaning, otherwise he would not say that he can't afford it.
