When Sister Xu came to the courtyard with her people and a truckload of gifts, Bai Guoguo had already prepared food for them.
Today she paid for extra meals for all the staff in the courtyard, and she also showed off her cooking skills by making a few side dishes.
He also opened the barrel of wine, but because the fermentation time had not yet come, the wine tasted like grape juice.
It is sour and sweet, with a strong grape aroma, and tastes very good.
When Sister Xu led her people into the main courtyard, Bai Guoguo was holding a large wine bucket and a fine mesh colander to filter the wine for everyone.
"Guoguo, is your wine ready?" Sister Xu asked with a smile as they walked.
"Sister Xu, you're here. Wait a moment, the wine will be poured and we can eat!" Bai Guoguo said without raising her head. She was busy filtering the wine.
Press the colander down and use a wine strainer to scoop wine from the middle of the colander.
I was originally going to filter it with gauze, but because I was in a hurry to drink it, I could only filter out a little bit first.
Sister Xu glanced at the director of the Ministry of Civil Affairs next to her, and after seeing him nod with a smile, she said, "Okay, take your time, don't rush!"
"Oh, that's good. Oh, Sister Xu brought a guest with her. Sorry to have kept me waiting for so long!" Bai Guoguo looked up and found that there was someone following Sister Xu.
He quickly put down the work in his hands and handed it to the staff in the kitchen next door, letting her complete the next task.
"This is Director Wei from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He is here for this matter. Let's talk in the study!" Sister Xu said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go this way?"
Bai Guoguo saw that this was indeed not the place to discuss matters, so she smiled and led the two of them into her large study.
In the large study in the main courtyard, Bai Guoguo signed a donation agreement with Director Wei.
We also accepted another batch of gifts from the country. Just looking at the gift list, there is a long list.
What made her happiest were the calligraphy works of several old leaders, which were extremely valuable and hard to find!
"Sister Xu, I love this gift so much. Please thank the leaders on my behalf!" Bai Guoguo couldn't stop smiling as she held the calligraphy.
These are great treasures that can be used as amulets and as heirlooms!
"I'll definitely pass it on for you. Oh, and by the way, do you want me to ask a master to mount it for you to prevent it from getting damaged accidentally?"
Sister Xu looked at Bai Guoguo, whose eyes were shining with joy, and shook her head with a smile. It was obvious that she really liked him, and her eyes were almost gone from laughing.
"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Then please, Sister Xu, find a skilled craftsman to frame it for me!" If Sister Xu hadn't mentioned it, Bai Guoguo almost forgot about it.
Director Wei standing by looked at the calligraphy works in Bai Guoguo's hand with envy. There were calligraphy works by several leaders!
As long as you are Chinese, there is no one who doesn’t like the calligraphy of these people.
Bai Guoguo carefully put these treasures into the cabinet and called two soldiers from the guard squad to come and help guard them.
Then he took Sister Xu and Director Wei to the front hall to have dinner, brought Director Wei a bottle of homemade wine, and then sent them out.
Only then did Sister Xu take Bai Guoguo to the fourth courtyard to see the treasure that the leaders had given her this time.
Because the superiors knew that Bai Guoguo only loved jade, porcelain and traditional Chinese paintings, jade products accounted for the majority of the gifts this time, and there were also quite a few porcelain and traditional Chinese paintings.
Bai Guoguo looked at several bonsai made of jade and emerald, and smiled so hard that her big eyes curved into crescents.
They were carefully placed on the treasure rack and long table in the embroidery building.
The porcelains were placed in a special display room, and several ancient paintings were stored in the space.
What made Bai Guoguo even happier was that among the gifts sent this time was a set of Go made entirely of jade.
The chessboard is carved from lake blue jade with white patterns, giving it the artistic conception of a lake reflecting clouds.
The black spots are ink jadeite, and the white spots are glass-type transparent white moonlight jadeite.
There are a total of 361 pieces, all of which are made of jadeite with very good texture and water quality.
Bai Guoguo couldn't let it go and was reluctant to put it down.
The chessboard of this set of chess pieces is flawless, and the chess pieces are crystal clear and round. It is a rare masterpiece.
It can even be regarded as a family heirloom and passed down to future generations.
If this happened in later generations, people would definitely fight over it!
Bai Guoguo played with the chessboard and chess pieces with shining eyes. Now he had all the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"How about it? Do you like everything we sent you this time?" Sister Xu asked with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah, I like it, especially this Go set. Sister Xu, the organization is so good to me!"
Bai Guoguo nodded repeatedly. She couldn't like it more. It was like she had fallen into a pile of treasures!
Bai Guoguo even felt that the country was at a disadvantage. In a few decades, those tens of billions of dollars would not be able to buy so many treasures!
Unfortunately, foreigners do not know the value of treasures. They only like shiny stones and cannot appreciate jade with such cultural connotations.
A pile of cultured diamonds is actually more expensive than so many jadeite, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. It’s simply unfair!
Bai Guoguo secretly complained in his heart that he really couldn't recognize the value of gold and jade.
From that day on, Bai Guoguo added a new activity to his daily routine, which was playing Go.
Her daily life now is like this: she gets up in the morning to warm up for a while, and then practices Sanda fighting and learns gun shooting under the guidance of guard squad leader Lei Dalong.
After eating the breakfast carefully prepared by Mrs. Hu, I watered the cherries and strawberries I planted.
Then I go to the study to read for a while, play the piano, and practice calligraphy.
I had lunch and took a nap at noon. After getting up, I went to the pavilion with Sister Xu to enjoy the cool air and play Go.
After dinner in the evening, read a novel or watch a short play, then practice yoga or dance to music.
Finally, take a shower, apply a facial mask, do a full body skin care routine, and then have a good beauty sleep.
Although she is out of work for the time being, she still keeps her life full.
It's just to prevent myself from falling into self-pity, but in my heart I still want to go out for a walk.
People are like this. When they have the freedom to stroll around the street, they don’t think it’s a big deal.
But only after losing it do you realize how pleasant and relaxing it is to be able to wander around freely.
Bai Guoguo now hopes that scientific researchers can quickly master radio technology.
Then use new technology to track down those rat nests, catch all the rats in one fell swoop, and let her regain her freedom!
She had specifically mentioned this to Sister Xu, as she didn't believe in the outdated transmitters available today.
If it can withstand the advanced radio technology searches in a few decades, sooner or later their rat's nest will be overturned!
By then, Bai Guoguo will be able to return to live among the people again!
