Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 65: Damn, this is for real
"happy!"

After putting down two cups, Lao Ye looked very satisfied.

A long-cherished wish has come true, and one is in a happy mood. It is definitely one of the most beautiful things in life to have a group of close friends drinking and dining together.

The boxes of treasures that Zhou Hao brought were put to good use. Half of the dishes on the table were seafood, which the old men enjoyed very much.

Zhou Hao, however, was terrified. He thought that he could eat it but must not eat anything that would cause him harm. What if there was an abnormality in uric acid or something... he might end up doing something bad with good intentions.

"Come on, Xiao Zhou, I'll toast you a glass." Lao Qin stood up with the glass in his hand. "First of all, thank you for your calligraphy, and secondly, thank you for your seafood. I'm really happy today, hahahaha..."

Zhou Hao was flattered and quickly stood up holding the cup.

"It's okay, don't be so reserved." Old Ye said with a smile, "This old guy is just looking for an excuse to cheat for a drink. Just be yourself. This wine has a strong aftereffect, so take it easy."

Upon hearing this, Lao Qin's eyes widened immediately, "What do you mean? You protect him like your own eyeballs. If you don't know, you would think he is your grandson-in-law!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole table burst into laughter.

Old Ye slapped his chopsticks and scolded with a smile: "You old frivolous thing, you can't control your mouth. If you keep talking nonsense, be careful that Hongdou will chase you away with a broom!"

"You're old-fashioned now? I told you you're old-fashioned!" Lao Qin said, and looked at Zhou Hao with a smile, "Xiao Zhou, do you have a partner?"

Zhou Hao shook his head, "No."

"Are you interested in anyone?"

"No."

"That's easy." Old Qin slapped the table, "It just so happens that I have a granddaughter who is not bad looking and is currently studying for a doctorate..."

"Stop, stop." Old Liu from the Literary Federation laughed and said, "Your precious granddaughter is over 30, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's exactly 30!" Lao Qin glared and said, "A woman who is three years older than you is rich, do you understand?"

"Alright, alright, why are you bringing this up?" Old Lady Fang, who was serving the dishes, tried to smooth things over. "I was already very reserved, and you're still bringing this up. Are you going to let me eat?"

The topic of objects ended here.

Old Qin took a sip of wine and asked, "Xiao Zhou, it's a pity that your skills are wasted there. Would you like to consider joining our calligraphy association?"

Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat. As expected, it came!

"Yes." Lao Jiang from the Hard Pen Association also put down his chopsticks and agreed, "There are not many young people who can seriously practice calligraphy nowadays, and those who have your skills are even rarer. The association is in great need of young talents like you."

Old Ye smiled and said nothing, but just by looking at his eyes, you could tell what he was thinking.

Master Yu, who had been left out all the time, raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Just when I was worried about where to start, here comes the opportunity.

When it comes to admission qualifications, the second-in-command in our family still has some say!
But the next second, his smile froze.

"Thank you for your kindness, teachers, but I'd better forget about this matter." Zhou Hao said with a wry smile.

The noisy group of people at the table suddenly became quiet.

A series of surprised and strange gazes locked onto Zhou Hao, as if they were looking at an alien.

"No, Xiao Zhou." Lao Qin was a little anxious. "Don't you know much about our association? If you can become a member of the association, there are many benefits..."

"Yes, although our association is not very conspicuous, the benefits in all aspects are actually quite good." Lao Jiang spoke more directly.

"If you reach a certain level, you will receive a generous allowance when you retire. It's a good thing to gain both fame and fortune!"

Zhou Hao remained unmoved. "Teachers, firstly, I am too inexperienced to be in such a place. Secondly, I am not interested in this. I practice calligraphy only to cultivate my sentiments. I don't intend to use it as a key to fame."

"Third... To be honest, I'm not a person with a strong mind. If I get a stable job that guarantees a steady income, I'll probably become lazy and waste away in no time."

"I'm still young, and I want to work harder according to my life plan. When my career is set in five or ten years, if you don't mind, I'll take the initiative to apply, okay?"

Snapped!
Lao Qin slammed the table and said, "Good boy, you are ambitious! In this case, I won't persuade you any more. Come, I will toast you again and wish you a prosperous career!"

"Thank you, Teacher Qin." Zhou Hao drank a glass with her and breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, there was another reason that he couldn't say.

If you want to join such an association, you must check the detailed resume file first, and then the vest may not be hidden... Old Mrs. Fang, who had been listening on the side for a while, had a loving smile in her eyes.

He refused to live in idleness and worked hard consciously, and was not tempted by fame and fortune that was within his grasp... He had good character.

Not bad, really good.

Zhou Hao refused cheerfully, but Old Ye was a little worried. "Why don't Xiao Zhou join our calligraphy association... Then it seems a bit unreasonable for us to take his calligraphy to the exchange meeting?"

Everyone at the table looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

It's really troublesome.

"That's easy." Zhou Hao said immediately: "Any one of you can say that you have an apprentice who wrote this, but because you haven't completed your apprenticeship yet, you are not eligible to join the calligraphy association. You are temporarily a non-staff reserve staff member."

Everyone at the table looked at each other with strange expressions.

Finally, Master Ye laughed bitterly and said, "Xiao Zhou, aren't you just insulting me? Who among us dares to be your master?"

Forehead?
Zhou Hao scratched his head, it seemed like this was indeed a problem...

"Let's do it the other way around." Lao Qin gritted his teeth, "Just say that I found a new master, and then I took my master's works out to participate in exchanges. It shouldn't be considered a violation."

"Eh, it seems to be possible?" Old Ye's eyes lit up, but then he became a little anxious, "But why is it you? I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly hit in the lower back.

When I looked back, I met the warning eyes of Old Lady Fang.

The old man suddenly understood what was going on.

I call him Master Xiao Zhou, so what should I call Xiao Hongdou?
"You have no objections, right?" Lao Qin stood up and said, "Do you have any tea? Bring me some."

Holy shit, are you serious?
Zhou Hao was so scared that he stood up quickly, but was immediately pushed back by Old Ye.

"There is no order in learning, the one who has achieved success comes first. Just sit still and wait for him to serve tea."

Zhou Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It doesn’t matter that he’s quite old, and he’s also a director of the calligraphy association…

The kind of apprentice this person has is so scary!

Soon, Old Mrs. Fang brought a cup of tea.

Amid the teasing gazes of the crowd, Lao Qin held the cup of tea in both hands and respectfully placed it in front of Zhou Hao, then bent down and raised the teacup above his head.

"Student Qin Fang, please give the teacher some tea."

Zhou Hao had never experienced such a situation before and didn't know what to do.

Old Ye quickly reminded softly: "Just pick it up and take a sip."

Zhou Hao nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"The ceremony is over!" Old Ye laughed and said, "Congratulations, Xiao Zhou, you have accepted a great disciple."

Everyone at the table burst into laughter, except Mr. Yu, who couldn't laugh.

The old senior who he usually had to bow down and flatter became Zhou Hao's apprentice in the blink of an eye...

Next time I meet him face to face, I have to lower myself three inches even if I raise my head.

It makes me sick just thinking about it!
Amid the congratulations from the audience, Zhou Hao added: "Although the relationship between master and apprentice has been established, when we meet normally, don't call me master all the time. Just call me by my name."

Lao Qin didn't act pretentiously and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Old Ye next to him was holding a wine glass and smiling particularly happily, with a strange excitement flickering in his eyes.

If Xiao Zhou and Hongdou get together, what should this old guy call me when he sees me in the future?

Hey Hey Hey……
