Lu Wen and Fang Zheng came outside and thought for a while. Lu Wen said to Fang Zheng, "What gifts shall we bring this time." This time, the first is to ask for help, and the second is to visit the elders. Gifts must not be casual.
Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Yesterday Grandpa Shi said he wanted a sculpture. The sculpture you just made on the stage was very good. You can use this as a gift."
Lu Wen thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Today, what was carved is a red sunlit river, carved on a pair of wooden boards. Although it has not been carefully carved, it is more in line with the bold and heroic temperament of the red sunlit river.
The two discussed together and came to the gate of a compound. The place where Old Man Shi and Mr. Fang lived were very close. This place was provided by the state for these retired cadres. The environment and defense inside were all first-class. it is good.
After passing the inspection again, they walked to the door of Shi Lao's courtyard. There was already someone waiting at the door. This was when they came in. The guard had already called Shi Lao to inform Shi Lao that this was Shi Lao's secretary, so he and Lin Cheng is the same as Fang's secretary.
But this middle-aged man looked like a soldier, and the military style was undoubtedly revealed when he walked. Fang Zheng shrank a little when he saw the middle-aged man, but he looked at Lu Wen next to him, gritted his teeth, and went up. Qian said respectfully: "Uncle Tiger."
Lu Wen looked at Fang Zheng amusedly. He had never seen Fang Zheng before. It was like a mouse meeting a cat. Uncle Hu saw Fang Zheng say hello to him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was smiling. Said: "Come in, the chief is waiting inside."
When Fang Zheng heard what he said, he hurriedly walked inside. Lu Wen smiled at Uncle Hu, and then followed Fang Zheng to the inside. After a while, he saw Shi Lao sitting under the sun and listening to the radio. , Seemingly contented.
Fang Zheng and Lu Wen hurried forward to say hello, Shi Lao looked up at them and said: "Sit down, why are you thinking about me here today? Is there something wrong?"
The two of them sat down, and Fang Zheng passed the carving Lu Wen had brought to Lao Shi, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Shi, are you talking about where you are going? Didn't you say yesterday that you want a carve? Today, Lao Lu is not going there. Did the Ministry of Education test it? I just carved this red sun light river. I want to see if you like it or not. If you like it, leave it for you. If you don't like it, let Lao Lu turn around and re-carve it."
Old Shi smiled and said, "You little slippery head, all right, let me take a look. If you don't have my appetite, then if you have anything to do today, don't speak." People are mature, let alone people like Shi Lao, he I still can't see that the two people in front of me have a purpose, but he doesn't care. The sentence just now was also joking.
The veteran stone carving took a look, and then he was fascinated. The carvings on the wooden planks do not have particularly complicated patterns. There is only a big sun and the rolling Yangtze River. But this simple picture has a heroic atmosphere. circulation.
The Yangtze River is rolling eastward, and the Yangtze River on the plank is like a tossing Yangtze River, full of a sense of mighty power, while the red sun hanging high in the air is so dazzling, as if the road ahead is difficult, but it is With infinite power to break through those difficulties and obstacles, the hope in his heart is like the red sun in the sky, hanging high in the heart, shining on the road ahead.
Shi Lao looked at this carved wooden board and fell into deep thought. He thought of their time when they flocked to the battlefield one after another, using their lives as a torrent to break through those difficulties and obstacles.
When Elder Shi woke up from his contemplation, he showed a hearty smile, and said to Lu Wen and the others: "Okay, very good, I like this red sun light river very much, let's talk, what's the matter?"
Fang Zheng also knew that this time was the best time, so he quickly said, "Well, Grandpa Shi, didn't you once again say that the military has an abandoned military area in Hong Kong? How is that place now?"
"Haha, what? You two little guys also got your idea on this?" Old Shi did not answer Fang Zheng's question, but instead asked with a smile.
Lu Wen said: "Lao Shi, didn't I go to review the opening of a small college today? I succeeded in the review. However, due to time constraints, I did not choose the school address in advance. I heard from the Lao Fang that you have an abandoned school here. Military region, I want to see if there is any hope of becoming the site of our small academy."
After listening to Lu Wen's explanation, Shi Lao laughed, and then said: "You dare to think that you want the military area to be your academy address." Although Shi Lao knew that Lu Wen had applied for a small academy alone, he I don't care about these, and I don't know how shocking it is for Lu Wen to do this alone, and he doesn't care about it at will.
Fang Zheng saw that Shi Lao meant to refuse, and he said quickly: "Grandpa Shi, it would be a waste of the military area to put it there. It's not a good idea to build a school for us, and we won't lose a penny, as much as we should."
As soon as he heard what he said, Old Shi was amused, and said, "The tone is not small, so I won't say anything else. Do you know how much it costs to win this military area resident?"
"How much?" Lu Wen and Fang Zheng are very nervous about this, after all, they also hope to take this resident.
"Five billion." Shi Lao said with four fingers.
Fang Zheng stretched out thousands of hands in a little embarrassment to break Shi Lao's thumb and straighten it, and then said with a serious face, "Well, five billion."
Old Shi was a little blushed by him doing this, and then he coughed twice and concealed it.
Although Lu Wen also felt a little funny, he couldn't laugh a bit now, five billion, this number also shocked him. Although he knew this was not a small number, he didn't expect it to be so much.
Old Shi looked at him and said with a smile: "Yes, five billion, not a single point is missing, it's okay, you should put your thoughts away, and stay for dinner later."
Both Lu Wen and Fang Zheng were taken aback by this number. They heard Shi Lao's words and did not respond. Although Lu Wen doesn't care how much money is, five billion is indeed too much, and now he doesn't have much money. The billions mentioned some time ago were only obtained when they took out all the assets of the family, and there was still water in it.
After they asked again, Lu Wen and the others reacted. Shi Lao looked at them and said: "Okay, don't think about it, come and eat."
After Shi Lao was about to go to eat, Lu Wen suddenly stopped him and said: "Shi Lao, can you pay in installments." When he said this, Lu Wen had a firm face, such a good school. He really didn't want to give up at the resident. If he missed this village, there would be no such shop. Just now, Lu Wen was shocked by this number, and he was thinking about how to raise so much money.
