"Sister-in-law, there is a car waiting for you at the door."
Early in the morning, Song Shuxi was packing up when a young soldier came to inform her.
"Okay, thank you. Please tell him to wait a moment. I'll be right there."
As she spoke, Song Shuqian habitually took out a handful of candy from her pocket and gave it to the little soldier.
Wei Jianguo tried hard to hold back his laughter when he thought of what his sons had said, that for their mother, sugar was the universal currency.
Children are good at observation.
Song Shuxi didn't care what they were thinking, she took care of herself as quickly as possible.
"How is it? Is it okay to wear this?"
She was wearing a blue skirt today, which was ankle-length and had intricate embroidery on the hem, which was dignified yet elegant.
An An Le Le praised her mother very proudly, saying that her mother was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Wei Jianguo also offered his praise.
Only then did she leave contentedly.
Arriving at the gate of the family compound, Song Shuqian thanked the driver, "Sorry for the long wait. Thank you for coming to pick me up."
The driver was one of the reception staff today. He took the initiative to ask to come over because he wanted to get familiar with the translator first to facilitate cooperation today.
Naturally easy to talk to.
So, the two people who wanted to get to know each other quickly became familiar with each other.
Song Shuqian also had a better understanding of today's mission and was clear about her responsibilities.
During the conversation, the receptionist was amazed again and again. He originally thought that since they were temporary employees, they could only do a marginal job.
I didn't expect that this person has such high emotional intelligence and treats people in a very comfortable way.
Arriving at the deputy mayor's office, Song Shuxi and Ye Hao, who were already familiar with each other through their children, finally met.
After a brief greeting, Song Shuqian started her work for the day.
Accompany those foreign guests to visit Shanghai.
Today's Shanghai Stock Exchange is backward in their eyes, but the treasures passed down by their ancestors still shine.
Just looking at those, few people can resist making plans. Besides, they were also attracted by our cheap labor.
Song Shuqian and her group first arrived at the Shanghai Museum.
Worried that she didn't understand and might be doing something bad with good intentions, she had already made up her mind to be a "qualified" translator today and not say a single unnecessary word.
But in the museum, I heard the staff say dryly, "This is the Da Ke Ding, an instrument from the Western Zhou Dynasty."
"This is Shang Yang's square liter, a standard measuring instrument from the Warring States Period."
Despite all this, I still can't help but be speechless.
Song Shuqian really wanted to open that person's brain and see what was inside. Could you really expect a foreigner to know what dynasty the Shang and Zhou dynasties were or what utensils were?
Not to mention foreigners, even our own people don’t know it all.
In her heart, Song Shuqian rolled her eyes to the sky. On the surface, the introducer's words were still translated word for word.
Seeing other colleagues looking accustomed to it, you can tell that this is the norm.
Song Shuqian is not a fool. She jumped out and talked eloquently at this time, stepping on others to get to the top.
It will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and if you encounter someone with a small mind, you will be severely retaliated against.
She just came here to help temporarily, and it's not her place to interfere.
Although it was a bit selfish, she thought it was okay.
Or maybe the foreigner couldn't stand this way of explanation.
Asked, "Can you explain it in more detail? We don't really understand."
Now everyone looked at each other in bewilderment; this was all they knew.
Most of these people graduated from high school, and many of them attended the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. But only they themselves know what they have learned.
At that time, even in universities, teachers did not dare to give lectures.
Especially those things related to history and cultural relics.
If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
Therefore, everyone played it safe and read whatever was in the textbooks.
Now there is no way to deal with the requests made by foreign guests.
Song Shuxi saw contempt in the eyes of these foreign guests. It seems to be saying, you are nothing special and you don’t even know your own history.
She looked at the others, waiting for their reactions.
The result is obvious.
No response!
For a moment, Song Shuqian didn't know what to say.
Having been a military wife for so many years, she also loves this country and can't stand outsiders looking down on it.
Song Shuqian consulted the person in charge of this trip in Chinese, "Everyone, I have a superficial understanding of history and cultural relics, and I have also done some superficial research on weekdays to enlighten my children.
Now looking at these precious objects, we can provide you with some more detailed information.
However, I am also aware that our itinerary has already been arranged, and I am worried that if I rashly bring it up, it will disrupt your plans.
Now that the foreign guests have raised this issue, if everyone thinks it is feasible, I will explain it in detail when I translate it. If it's inconvenient, that's okay, let's continue as planned. "
Song Shuxi's words really gave them enough face.
There is no fool who can be assigned to receive foreign guests. Besides, Song Shuxi is just an external aid and has no interest relationship with them.
Now she has made it clear that she will not take away the credit from them.
That way, they don't mind her being in the spotlight.
In the end, it is these people who will be blamed.
“It’s great that Comrade Song is doing research in this area and is so enthusiastic about it.
Although it was already included in our original plan, you took the initiative to offer to share your knowledge, which is a rare opportunity that we couldn't ask for more.
You can rest assured to explain, we will be all ears. "
Hearing this answer, Song Shuqian rolled her eyes inwardly.
This was why she had chosen a marriage partner who must be a soldier.
These "literati" are as cunning as plugs. Even though it is clearly a matter of taking advantage, they make it sound like they have suffered a great loss and received a huge handout.
It's just disgusting.
If Song Shuqian didn't want to embarrass herself in front of foreigners, she wouldn't have stood up.
She decided in her heart that this was the first time she would help, and also the last time.
Not only do you not get any benefit, but you also make yourself sick.
I thought so much and said so much, but it actually only took one minute.
Next, Song Shuxi began to play freely.
In front of the Yue Kiln celadon, she introduced it. "Yue kiln celadon originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and is one of the earliest porcelains in my country. It was produced for more than a thousand years through the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and lasted until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the Shanghai Museum, you can see Yue Kiln celadon from different historical periods.
This Yue kiln green-glazed crabapple-shaped bowl dates back to the Tang Dynasty. Its glaze is verdant and evenly lustrous, just like a clear spring, perfectly illustrating the characteristics of Yue kiln celadon of the Tang Dynasty, which is "like ice and jade".
This Five Dynasties Yue Kiln green-glazed covered jar with carved lotus petals has a yellowish green glaze and a soft luster, which complements the carved decorations on the jar. It reflects the further development and innovation of Yue Kiln celadon of the Five Dynasties based on the inheritance of Tang Dynasty traditions. "
The following introduction became Song Shuxi's main event. She asked and answered questions with the foreign guests and had a very pleasant chat.
Song Shuxi merged her own memory with that of the original owner, which is equivalent to the superposition of two super academic masters, achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than five.
She can talk to people about history, machinery, and people's livelihood.
When I was in the mood, I even wrote a few words on the spot in a shop selling study tools to let them feel the profoundness of calligraphy.
In order to encourage these people to buy a few more guqins, Song Shuxi also played a song.
The two-day reception was a great success for both the guests and the hosts.
