Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 21 Wei Yi
Zhou Zhi looked at the phone, put the receiver aside, and didn't put the receiver back on the phone until five or six minutes later.

As soon as he put it on, the phone rang immediately. Zhou Zhi picked up the receiver again and said in low Mandarin, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Hi! Elbow! Huh? Is this Zhou Zhi's house?"

Zhou Zhi didn't speak.

"Hi! Hey! May I ask if a child called you just now? Ah, it's not a child, high school! A high school student who is fifteen or sixteen years old, hello, hello!"

Zhou Zhi covered his mouth and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Zhu, this is my phone number."

"Hey, you brat, I'm so anxious! Why was the line busy just now?"

"Go to the toilet, the phone is not put away."

"...! Forget it, where can I get the book?"

"Bullshit! Don't you know about the sugar and wine company's dormitory?"

"Oh my brother, how dare I go there?! We have to change places!"

"Hahaha, why did you hang up so quickly just now?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother, hurry up and give me a place, give me a place, and come right away!"

"Don't drive too fast, pay attention to safety on the road, I don't want Little Sixth Sister to watch over the family."

"Elbow, brother, please stop making trouble..."

"Then let's go to the gas station. On the outskirts of the city, there is Anleshan Primary School next to the road from Manzhou."

"it is good!"

Zhou Zhi paused again, making sure that he didn't hang up the phone first this time, and then put the phone down.

snort!If I can't cure you, I know you will call again!
Putting the book in the schoolbag, Zhou Zhi opened the frame and took out the bottom plate, and handed it to grandma together with the crane embroidery sample: "Grandma, Mr. Yu will change to cranes this year."

Grandma opened the embroidery pattern on the blue satin bottom, and stroked the embroidery on it with her old hand: "It's a pity that your Aunt Yu's craftsmanship has not been preserved..."

Zhou Zhi picked up her schoolbag: "Grandma, I'm going to Feifei's."

"Are you coming back for lunch?"

"Shouldn't come back. There's still a lot of cold food at home. I've had enough for lunch. I'll wait for Dad to come back and cook."

"then you go."

He went out and ordered Huo Sanlun, spent two yuan, and Zhou Zhi came to Anleshan Township Primary School on the outskirts of the city.

The small township has a beautiful environment, surrounded by green bamboos. The gas transmission station is across the road, and there is a large fish pond beside it. There is a small road between the fish pond and the gas transmission station, which is the road to Anle Mountain.

Jiachuan ruled the county from the Han Dynasty. Anle Mountain is a mountain on the outskirts of the city. It has beautiful scenery and many cliff carvings. There was also a fairy named Liu Zhen.

Dad said that when he was a child, he often gathered firewood and mushrooms at the foot of Mount Anle.

From the road to the village primary school, you have to go through more than a dozen stone steps and go up a small slope. Wei Fei's mother is cutting bamboo at the school gate on the top of the small slope, cutting bamboo by the side of the bamboo forest, and saw a figure at the bottom of the stone stairs: "Zhou Zhi is here?! Come up!"

After speaking, he turned his head and shouted towards the school gate: "Wei Fei, Wei Yi, Zhou Zhi is here!"

"Auntie, what are you doing here?" Zhou Zhi shouted while walking.

"I bought a batch of chickens and made chicken coops! Wait for Wei Fei to pick you up, saying that you just had an operation?"

"Minor surgery, not so delicate!" When Wei Fei and his sister came out, Zhou Zhi was halfway there.

"Hey Elbow, why are you here?" Wei Fei has severe myopia and wears glasses every day. He was very happy to see Zhou Zhi coming to the door, and stood on the steps of the school gate to say hello with a smile.

Wei Yi pushed his younger brother, but Wei Fei didn't move, and asked, "Has the monk entered the city yet?"

"No, it should be soon!" Zhou Zhi replied below.

Wei Yi hurried down to help Zhou Zhi carry his schoolbag, supported Zhou Zhi and angrily scolded Wei Fei, "You're so lazy!"

"You are not allowed to say that about my younger brother if you have a big festival." Wei Fei's mother didn't criticize Wei Fei, but Wei Yi first.

Wei Fei's father also came out, standing with Wei Fei, no matter his body shape or appearance, he looked the same as Wei Fei, Zhou Zhi felt that if Wei Fei got old, he would be like his father.

Zhou Zhi came to the top of the stone ladder and sat down, took the hatchet from Wei Fei's mother's hand and said, "I'll do it."

Wei Fei's mother thought it was funny: "I can't count on anyone who can help in the family, but the kids from the city can! Then I'll do it for you, I'll kill a chicken!"

"Don't, don't..." Zhou Zhi hurriedly stopped, "Auntie just steamed two sausages, I can't eat much anyway."

"Both siblings want to eat too." Wei Fei's mother wiped her apron with her hands, "You'd better have some chicken soup."

"Then thank you, Auntie." Seeing that Wei Fei was still standing there watching, Zhou Zhi would not spoil him: "Help! Pick up the bamboo branches."

Wei Yi remembered something: "I found the book you wanted, Elbow. I think the vocabulary is the least, and I can almost read it now. Just wait..."

After finishing speaking, he ran back, and came out with a book after a while: "Here, all the new words are marked."

Wei Fei was a little apprehensive: "Sister, why don't you treat me so well?"

"Oh, you have the nerve to mention it!" Wei Yi grabbed Wei Fei's ear and said, "If you can read it, I will do anything for you!"

Regardless of the fight between the siblings, Zhou Zhi started to read the book.

The book has a yellow cover, it is probably the version printed inside the School of Foreign Languages, the original English version, "The Godfather".

Don't speak English of this book, the Chinese version is not available in Jiachuan now.

Wei Yi did not forget to educate Wei Fei: "Mario Puzo, who wrote this book, is not British or American at all. He is from an Italian immigrant family. He can also write books in English and be a reporter for English newspapers."

Zhou Zhi nodded to Wei Fei, "So you should be able to fly."

"Ask him to prescribe the prescription if you have the ability! I'll let him take 3 minutes!" Wei Fei didn't care, and waved his hands arrogantly.

Wei Yi was so angry that he wanted to beat him up again.

The few people quarreled for a while, Zhou Zhi opened the book and found many new words inside, Wei Yi marked the meaning and phonetic symbols of the words: "Thank you, sister. You are so thoughtful."

"Read a paragraph and listen to it. This job can't be done in vain."

Zhou Zhi turned to the first page and started reading from the beginning.

For Zhou Zhi, who has read traditional classics for a long time, the story structure of "The Godfather" once made him feel fresh and new.

The story begins with the unfair treatment of unrelated Italian immigrants who have different occupations. In the end, these people who were oppressed by society all made the same decision.

Go to a man and ask for his help at the wedding of that man's daughter.

The conception is not amazing. Sima Qian’s "Historical Records" is full of tricks like this. The opponents of the Han Dynasty are mostly heroic and righteous images, and Liu Bang, the orthodox winner, also has a lot of crude and funny performances.

But the structure is indeed commendable.

Zhou Zhi was engrossed in reading, and when he turned a page, he realized that the surroundings were quiet. When he raised his head, he saw Wei Fei and Wei Yi's incredulous eyes.

"Elbow, your English is so good?" Wei Yi was so surprised: "So fluent, with such a good sense of language! Who taught you?"

"Uh..." Zhou Zhi rolled his eyes, "I just added a short-wave radio at home."

"Are you listening to VOA?" Wei Yi was so envious.

There is no FM these days, and there are restrictions on the wavelength of the radio. There are no shortwave radios on the market.

Among Wei Yi's classmates, there are only a few high-ranking families.

"Well, Uncle Yao gave one."

But this just happened, Zhou Zhi added silently in his heart, he couldn't lie to his good sister.

"Elbow, can you lend it to me?" Wei Yi couldn't help but blurted out, but in the blink of an eye he felt it was inappropriate. It was not cheap, and he was a bit taboo: "If you can't, forget it."

"Okay, why not? Let the plane follow me into the city to get it later." Zhou Zhi started weaving chicken coops, thought for a while and said, "Why don't I get one for my sister when school starts?"

"Really?!" Wei Yi was both surprised and delighted: "Oh, it still doesn't work, it's so expensive..."

The resources available for learning these days, especially foreign languages, are really scarce. For a long time to come, listening to VOA to learn English will be a tireless act of students.

It should be said that the vast majority of students aim to improve their English proficiency.

Especially for a young man like Zhou Zhi who has a thorough understanding of traditional culture and the history of Chinese civilization, cultural confidence is his deep-rooted belief and cornerstone since he was ten years old.

The so-called sugar coating is eaten, and the shells are fired back.

This is also the reason why Zhou Zhi's politics class is not good. In his previous life, he was unwilling to learn at all, and because of this, his father taught him to clean him up.

Later, the country launched English radio channels and TV channels successively, and the resources became better and better.

"No need to spend money." Zhou Zhi said: "I still want to go to Jingcheng during the winter vacation. Cousin Binyang is a fairy, let him change it when the time comes. But..."

"I know, listen secretly, don't tell anyone."

Speaking of this matter is really a bit taboo, it seems that Wei Yi is also clear, so there is no need to remind.

Finally, he managed to confuse this exposure, and when the rough chicken coops were finished, Zhou Zhi made a few forked brooms out of the remaining bamboo branches and strips.

Put a bamboo stick on the broom and fix it with bamboo nails. A maroon Santana has already stopped at the gate of the gas transmission station below. Two young people got out of the car and looked around.

"Here." Zhou Zhi waved on the slope.

Zhu Dazhang looked up and saw Zhou Zhi, he greeted the people around him and ran up.

The person traveling with Zhu Dazhang was the same Liu Er who threatened Zhou Zhi in front of Miss Sixth Sister's counter. When he came up to see Wei Yi, he was dumbfounded and stared blankly at the girl.

Zhou Zhi quietly took a step forward and stood in front of Wei Yi.

This sister studied in the UK a few years later, and later she scared you to death with a bunch of titles, not something a hooligan leader can afford.

But now Liu Er's ferocious and unscrupulous attitude really scared Wei Yi, he lowered his head and hid behind Zhou Zhi's back, his little hands were still grabbing the clothes on Zhou Zhi's back.

"Elbow, where's Ben'er?" Zhu Dazhang got straight to the point.

Zhou Zhi opened her schoolbag and took out the account book from inside: "Here."

After speaking, he greeted Liu Er: "Brother Liu."

Liu Er nodded his head coolly, he was stupid just now, he should maintain his image in front of the beauties.
