Chapter: 669
Zhou Fei stopped a taxi on the street, and the two entered the back seat. Zhou Fei said bluntly:
"Go to No. 234, Dongfen Road."
"Come on!" The driver, a middle-aged man in his forties, started the car immediately after hearing the words. When he was waiting for the traffic lights, he glanced in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "The two beauties are going to Buy clay sculptures?"
"How do you know?" Zhou Fei was slightly taken aback.
"Haha, I've been renting cars in Shanghai for ten years, so of course I know many places." The driver smiled, started the car and turned around.
"Oh." Zhou Fei nodded.
"No. 234, Dongfen Road, should it be the main store of Shengyuan Clay Sculpture?" The driver thought for a while and said.
"Yes, we made an appointment yesterday, and we are planning to go there to make clay sculptures." Zi Yan replied, and the pleasant voice made the driver slightly stunned.
The gift that Zi Yan plans to bring back this time is clay figurines.
Speaking of clay figurines, the most widely spread in the north is the clay figurine Zhang. It is rumored that the skills of the clay figurine Zhang were very superb. The shape and spirit are perfect, and lifelike.
Clay sculpture art is an ancient and common folk art in Chinese folk tradition, that is, a folk handicraft that uses clay to make various images.
Zi Yan planned to make her and Mengmeng and... Zhang Han, the colored sculptures that were seen in the Crescent Mountain, Mengmeng would definitely like them if they brought them back, and Ziyan estimated that Zhang Han would also like them .
On the way to the restaurant yesterday, Zi Yan checked the place where the colored sculptures were made in Shangjing. After learning that the Shengyuan Clay Sculpture Main Store is a very famous shop, she directly made an appointment to go to the production this morning.
At this time, the driver fell silent after hearing Zi Yan's words, he hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and smiled; "Actually, sometimes the things in big stores may not be the best."
"Oh? Master, do you know a good place to make clay sculptures?" Zhou Fei quickly realized that there was something in the driver's words, so she asked.
"It's not a good place. It's a small shop, but the owner is over seventy years old. He is a master in clay sculpture. A few years ago, many people asked him to be the manager of the shop. It was stipulated that he only allowed him to take four shots, but he refused because he said that he was too old to stay in the shop and didn’t want to leave.”
"Why did you refuse such a good treatment?" Zhou Fei asked curiously.
"Because..." At this moment, bitterness flashed across the driver's face, and he said, "That small shop is where he and his wife lived. I heard that he and his wife opened the small shop together. Growing old together, decades of ups and downs, in the same boat, his wife died seven years ago, for the old man, it was both a memory and a pain, even his children wanted to pick him up, but they never succeeded However, he was always there and never left."
As soon as this remark came out, Zi Yan was shocked, and murmured:
"Never leave......"
As she thought about it, her beautiful eyes were deeply moved. These simple four words revealed such an epic love story. She didn't envy the kind of young model couples, she envied those who could grow old together.
"Let's go there." Zi Yan looked out of the window and said firmly.
"That's it." The driver responded, and the speed of the car was three minutes faster.
When driving to the east branch, the driver entered the alley at the back, and there was a courtyard area at the back. On the outer street, he stopped in front of a one-story house with a clay sculpture plaque of Liuhe.
"Here we are, you can go in directly. The teacher's surname is Liu, so you can call him Master Liu." The driver said.
"Okay, here's the money, you don't need to look for it." Zhou Fei directly handed over a fifty-dollar bill, and got out of the car with Zi Yan after saying a word.
Walking into the store, it seems to be back in the 90s, the decoration, furniture and furnishings inside are relatively old.
On the innermost side, an old man is sitting on a rocking chair drinking tea quietly. His slightly squinted eyes are looking at the right wall in a daze, as if he is reminiscing about something.
Zi Yan and the two looked over, and found that the entire wall was covered with a series of clay sculptures, each clay sculpture had only two people, a man and a woman, on the far left, the men and women were young, and the old man could be vaguely seen from the man's cheeks to the right, the two are getting older and their hair is graying, but they are sitting together happily, a very heart-warming picture.
Seeing this scene, Zi Yan and Zhou Fei stood by and waited silently, no one interrupted, because seeing the old man's expression, he was recalling happiness.
