Rebirth 1983: Murakami's Wife Wants a Divorce

Chapter 482
When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

No one, including Liu Ye, knew what trick Nie Zhiqiang was hiding.

Nie Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Liu Ye, why are you standing there? Find me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to use them."

Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are available in Qiao Nanshan's study.

Qiao Nanshan said: "Secretary Nie, follow me to the study."

In the center of the study is a large desk made of root carvings, on which are placed pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

At first, everyone thought that Nie Zhiqiang wanted to write calligraphy.Unexpectedly, he spread out the rice paper and diluted part of the thick ink with water.

Nie Zhiqiang began to paint plum blossoms with inks of appropriate shades.His technique is quite skillful.The thickness of the ink is adjusted just right.After a while, several plum blossom trees appeared on the paper.

Everyone including Qiao Nanshan couldn't help applauding.

But this is not enough.

As Nie Zhiqiang's brush continued to outline, a scholar with a scroll in his hand stood beside the plum blossom tree.The scholar seems to be reciting poems on the snow.

With the last few strokes of Nie Zhiqiang, a beautiful picture of the snow land vividly appeared on the paper: plum blossoms reflecting snow.

Nie Zhiqiang said: "The scholar endured the cold and studied hard in the snow. The sky was covered with heavy snow like goose feathers. This scholar is about 27 or [-] years old. He must want to pass the title of the gold list. Climb to the Son of Heaven Hall, thus adding wealth and honor to one’s body, and a bright future.”

After Nie Zhiqiang's explanation, Liu Ye understood the meaning of "plum blossoms reflecting snow".Since ancient times, the edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.

Whose happy life is not achieved by hard work.

Qiao Nanshan looked at Nie Zhiqiang's painting and said, "Secretary Nie, why do I feel that your painting style is very similar to that of a person. Are you a disciple of Crazy Wen?"

Nie Zhiqiang smiled but did not answer.Neither affirming nor denying.

Qiao Nanshan quickly said: "I'm talking nonsense too. Secretary Nie, don't care. Crazy Wen is one of the best masters of traditional Chinese painting today. I heard that the starting price of his one-foot paintings is [-]. If Secretary Nie is a disciple of Crazy Wen, That's the Crouching Dragon hiding beside us."

Nie Zhiqiang signed his name on the bottom left of "Plum Blossoms Reflecting Snow", and then carefully pressed the rice paper with a ruler to prevent it from being blown off by the wind.

"This work is my souvenir for Mr. Qiao, and I hope Mr. Qiao will accept it with a smile."

Liu Ye sent Nie Zhiqiang back to the county party committee office, and then personally delivered the box of "Kunpeng Spreading Wings" sculpture to his office.

Nie Zhiqiang said with a smile: "I've had a lot of harvest today, I'm really sorry. This work took at least two months of hard work by Mr. Qiao Nanshan."

The work of "Kunpeng Spreading Wings" is good, and the meaning is also good.Nie Zhiqiang liked it very much.

Nie Zhiqiang: "Liu Ye, your carving factory is guarded by a master like Qiao Nanshan. Every urn will become a work of art, and it will definitely sell for a good price."

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Secretary Nie guessed right. I am indeed selling it as a work of art now. Each urn is as high as [-] yuan. It is equivalent to two years' wages of an industrial worker."

"Secretary Nie, you hide it very deeply. So you are a master of traditional Chinese painting."

Liu Ye continued.

Nie Zhiqiang waved his hand and said, "What kind of master of Chinese painting am I? When I was young, I played around with Wen lunatic a few times. Later, I started working and became busier and busier, so I didn't have much time for art."

With a bit of artistic skills in his youth, Nie Zhiqiang was able to portray "Plum Blossoms Reflecting Snow" lifelike, which is really rare.

Nie Zhiqiang didn't want Liu Ye to leave immediately, but motioned him to sit down on a sofa chair, and said, "Let's not talk about art all the time. Art is something for artists, and it's far away from us. I want to know. thing, is it possible?"

A workaholic indeed.Think about work for a while.

Regrettably, I was so preoccupied with the engraving factory today that I didn't have time to take Nie Zhiqiang to see the vegetables in the greenhouse.

The arable land in the entire Fenglin Town is basically used to grow greenhouse vegetables, and there is still no slow-moving phenomenon in the market.It proves that there is still market potential that has not been released.

Liu Ye told Nie Zhiqiang his thoughts.Nie Zhiqiang asked: "If we grow vegetables in two townships, what will be the effect? ​​My opinion is, if Luoqiao Township and Fenglin Township are all used to grow vegetables, is there any money to be made?"

Liu Ye only answered with one word: "Yes."

In the case that rice is grown in most towns, it is not a lot to use the arable land of two towns to grow vegetables.

Liu Ye asked again: "Can the cultivated land in Luoqiao Township be concentrated?"

The household contract responsibility system has been implemented for the land, and the decision whether to intensively land is in the hands of the farmers.

It's not that Nie Zhiqiang doesn't know this truth.

He promised: "I'll try it out with Liu Xueming, a senior party official in Luoqiao Township. After all, the premise is to respect the farmers' wishes. If the farmers don't want to do it, we don't have to force it."

Today is Sunday.Government compounds are at rest.

Nie Zhiqiang and Liu Ye talked about art and work, and after work and life, they both felt that they were very speculative.

Between each other, sitting is two or three hours.As a senior county official, Nie Zhiqiang will spend more time besides reporting to the superiors.I have never spent so much time dealing with subordinates, and I don't feel tired.

For the first time, Nie Zhiqiang felt that Liu Ye's knowledge was no narrower than his own.

Although Liu Ye is just a small farmer, he can be described as "both ancient and modern" to describe his talent and learning.

Nie Zhiqiang asked: "Liu Ye, where did you come from with such a brain full of talent? Although you haven't been to college, your conversation is no worse than that of a college student, even better than some college professors."

Liu Ye said with a smile: "The secretary has won the award, how can I have that ability? I just because my family was poor when I was young, and the children of poor people are already in charge of the family."

Nie Zhiqiang smiled lightly: "This kind of statement is not absolute. I think you belong to the category of living and learning, and never giving up learning. Therefore, you know from many fields such as politics, economy, culture, philosophy, etc. Some. For this, I admire you."

Liu Ye was taken aback by Nie Zhiqiang's modest attitude.

I am a farmer, how dare I compare my knowledge with the county officials?

Liu Ye quickly said: "Secretary Nie, I still have a lot of mistakes, and I need your guidance."

"Learn from each other, learn from each other!"

Nie Zhiqiang said.

A red telephone in the office suddenly rang.

Nie Zhiqiang quickly picked up the phone and answered it.
