The sun slowly climbed to the top, and the mottled snow was beating with golden lights
The river wind that had been raging for many days finally stopped being sharp, and gently passed through the sparse forest on the beach with the soothing sound of waves.
When the wind occasionally calms down, the world is so quiet that it seems that the sound of snow melting can be heard
The sun was bathed in the whole morning, and Fang Xueqing's nose had already unknowingly bleached with sweat, and her fair cheeks also showed a faint blush.
Finally, she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the sun. She put down the brush in her hand and unzipped the down jacket, so the thin wool sweater could no longer hide her slim and charming figure.
Because she is still young, the shy peaks on her chest can only be considered to have begun to take shape, but the curves between her waist have already vaguely outlined her moving charm in the future
Then she stood up, raised her arms and simply moved her body, which was a little stiff after sitting for a long time, leaned back slightly, and looked at the scroll in front of her.
The white gouache paper is still only the outline of light ochre monochrome lines. It seems a bit messy at first glance, but it has already had the prototype of a complex scroll.
There are continuous hills and rushing rivers, bustling cities and quiet villages, vegetable fields and orchards and street construction sites, but there are no characters yet.
Don't hurry, take it slowly
The next step is to put your hopes and dreams into your younger brother, Shi Xiaokai, and Mom and Dad...
The picture is put into this scroll
Fang Xueqing turned around with a smile. Gao Yixiáng, who had been quietly watching her since she stopped writing, immediately looked at Jiangshui and asked: What's wrong?
Fang Xueqing glanced at Gao Yixiong's painting curiously, but from here he could only see the side of his drawing board, and there was not enough perspective to see the content on the picture.
Moreover, Gao Yixiang turned the easel over in panic, keeping the drawing board facing Fang Xueqing, and laughed awkwardly: No, no, I don’t know what I painted, my level is much different from yours. When I finish drawing it, I will give you some advice.
As Gao Yixiong himself said, he is indeed one of the most ordinary and unobtrusive students in the class.
Since they chose art class since the second year of high school, they have never received any rewards or punishments in the past six months.
Teacher Cao never seemed to praise his works, but he never criticized them.
Fang Xueqing knew almost nothing about him except knowing his name
This time he decided to participate in the competition, which actually made Fang Xueqing a little surprised and curious.
Of course, Fang Xueqing could only answer humbly at this moment: Why, we are all learning, don’t praise me if there is any level gap.
Gao Yixiong's humility is with self-aware sincerity: I have not praised you for taking the exam for the Central Beauty or the Gome, or Humei, and Guangmei, and I will never go out of the scope of the eight major art academies. I may be a painter in the future. I might be able to see the art exhibition you have held. Thank you for being able to attend the second-tier art department. The ideal thing is to be an art teacher in elementary or junior high school? Not to mention that half of our class cannot pass the exam. They are afraid that they will give people portraits on the street, hahaha... We are not a key high school in art. Although I have not reached the level of talent, everyone knows in my heart that the talent of learning art is too important. Whether or not talent is not the same as you are such a good talent. Teacher Cao said that he has encountered it for the first time since he taught.
Perhaps it was because he was with Fang Xueqing that the child seemed particularly long-winded, but what he said was basically true.
This school is located in the junction of provincial capitals and suburban areas of central provinces, which is so ordinary that it is not a key high school. It has only been open for more than ten years.
Those who can be admitted to a professional art academy will only be able to get one in two or three years on average
Fang Xueqing didn't know what to say, so she could only try to cheer him up: I have any talent, but it's better to be patient... It's still early to say that we have a year to finish the art exam and there are cultural courses. Didn't Teacher Cao often say that we should have confidence? As long as you really like art, you will definitely succeed.
Fang Xueqing herself is just a little girl with no experience and is not good at speaking. These words are not strong enough, they are not painful or itchy, and they are completely unacceptable to chicken soup.
But often the content of the words is not important, what matters is the person who speaks is important
Gao Yixiang was still happy and said with a smile: Patience and persistence are the most important talents. By the way, aren’t you going to draw?
It was already noon, so I said to Teacher Cao, go to have a meal. Fang Xueqing turned around lightly: Let's draw again after dinner. This is not something I can draw in a day or a half. It may take several times.
Gao Yixiáng raised his wrist and looked at his beautiful sports watch, realizing that there is a rare opportunity to have lunch with Fang Xueqing, or even be alone.
This opportunity came too suddenly, which made this guy not have time to prepare mentally, so he answered a little incoherently: Then I will go too, there is a meal in the cafeteria today? I didn’t get a meal card...Ah, let’s go out together? You tell Teacher Cao first, I will go too, too, right?
The slightly funny reaction made Fang Xueqing pursed her lips and chuckled, like a spring flower swaying among the snow.
Of course she understood Gao Yixiang's affection for herself. A girl as outstanding as her is never missing a love letter or confession, a girl like her is always a must.
But she has always faced it calmly. After all, the two are still classmates and they still have to draw together to compete together.
Moreover, the two of them have only been in the same class for half a year. They just recognized who is who. After getting to know each other more, he will know Shi Xiaokai's existence and will retreat.
So he agreed, OK, and opened the door and returned to the living room
There were only three high school students in the living room. The practice objects were changed from plaster models to real apples and bananas, but Teacher Cao was nowhere to be seen.
Fang Xueqing asked in a low voice, and a enthusiastic little boy rushed to tell her that Teacher Cao had just returned to the bedroom.
Fang Xueqing hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door of Teacher Cao's master bedroom
The door was not closed tightly, leaving a half-foot-wide crack, but the indoor scene was not visible
She was just raising her hand to knock on the door when she heard Teacher Cao’s confusing and concerned voice: … Didn’t it disappear before the New Year?
The one on the left disappeared, and there was another one on the right these two days. You are gentle, it hurts. The voice of a middle-aged woman answered in a cooing mood. Fang Xueqing knew that this was the voice of Teacher Cao's wife.
If this continues, it won’t work. Although nothing is wrong now, it will be a disease after all.
Teacher Cao's voice could not hide his worries. After a rustling sound of clothes, he continued: I will take you to a large hospital for a good look this summer vacation, so I will treat the root cut. I have a high school classmate in Guangzhou Zhongshan Hospital.
OK, we are not in a good hospital here, so it is not that easy to see this.
The teacher's wife's voice was dissatisfied: Even Xiaoqi couldn't take care of her death salary, and she was still trying to do anything about her postgraduate entrance examination this year. What should you do? Xiaoqi wants to give their professors some gifts and take the exam for their school after all. You should solve this problem first and prepare for her.
……well
Teacher Cao sighed after a while, as if he had swallowed something back.
But the master's wife began to complain like Fang Xueqing was familiar with: You said, if you were willing to run away from relationships, would you have such a professional title now? Will you stay in this broken school? You are noble, okay, don't use your trick to cheat Xiaoqi in this day and age. It's not enough to be good grades alone, but you have to run Ah, although Xiaoqi has good grades, it's another thing to stay in school. If you don't prepare money for her, can you tell her to sleep with their professors like those girls?
Fang Xueqing felt that she was not suitable for her and should not listen to the private affairs of Teacher Cao's family. She was thinking about whether to go back to the living room or wait or find an opportunity to knock on the door, but the teacher's wife's voice kept talking. The content made her unable to contain her curiosity and unable to move: You are not happy, which high school head teacher is like you, Lao Qin and you went to school with you, and just bought an Audi for his son. Why? A4 is not Audi Ah Xiaolu, a student you taught. Now she has been working as a teacher for three years. I just took my girlfriend to play with Maldives during the winter vacation... It's just that weird, you are just aloof, and it's like you have a grudge against money. What's wrong with money?
Teacher Cao finally whispered: How can I be noble? We are not poor, and it’s great now... We are teachers, why do we need so much money to do... Just spend enough money... If people compare, there is no end...
Oh, I am not competing with others, nor do I dislike you for being poor. I will dislike you for not being with you at the beginning.
The teacher's wife looked very sorry for her: It's such a society now, I don't care, but I can't let Xiaoqi suffer grievances. Besides, it's not difficult for you to make money. Now there are so many art students. You can hold a training class during the winter and summer vacations. How much does it take to make up for the tutoring? Is it still unconscience? Teacher Huang and a music teacher at our school will run a piano training class together every time they take a holiday. Usually, they charge money by hour for individual students. Parents of students can only thank them. Is the money they earn not clean? You can try it too. I asked Teacher Huang, and he said that these extra money is much higher than the salary.
Let’s talk about this later. Teacher Cao seemed to hate this topic very much and said a little bluntly: Get me one hundred yuan first.
What to do? The master's wife let out an indistinguishable sigh and did not continue to criticize Teacher Cao
It's almost time to go to dinner, and the cafeteria is not open today. Could it be that those children are hungry and I'll go buy some vegetables? Old Cao said with a giggle.
It would be fine if you don’t make money from students. The teacher’s wife muttered dissatisfiedly: You have to pay for them food and drink. Remember to buy paper cups. The paper cups are almost over. If you have students, you will have no water to drink.
Alas, OK, OK, thank you, my wife
Teacher Cao's laughter finally became happy
Fang Xueqing reacted and hurriedly raised her hand to knock on the door
After two moves, Teacher Cao opened the door, holding a hundred-dollar bill in his hand, and asked with a smile: Ah, what's wrong?
Fang Xueqing, who had just talked, was more respectful than before, and bowed and replied: Teacher Cao, I'll go out for dinner.
Teacher Cao laughed heartily and said: Today is Sunday, the cafeteria is not open, where do you go to eat
He said, while walking to the living room on his own, and at the same time he raised his voice: It’s expensive and not delicious outside, and it’s not nutritious yet. You have grown up. Besides, this is still in the first lunar month, and it’s not half past the month. It’s still the New Year when you come to the teacher’s house during the New Year. The teacher can’t let you go to the stalls outside to eat fried noodles.
He strode through the living room and walked towards the door: The teacher went to buy a chicken and we were having hot pot!
Fang Xueqing was naturally embarrassed to have dinner at Teacher Cao's house again. She was thinking about how to refuse, but the door of the balcony was suddenly opened. Gao Yixiang stood at the door and said with a depressed look on his face: Fang Xueqing, someone called you
Fang Xueqing was stunned for a moment and walked quickly to the balcony
When he lay down on the railing, he saw Shi Xiaokai downstairs, holding his fancy electric car, tilted his head and looked around.
As soon as you see her, you immediately shouted: Xiaoxue, your family asked me to come to find you, and if you have something to do, you will go back.
This was the first time when Teacher Cao was painting when he was called back when he was painting at home. Fang Xueqing couldn't help but feel a little sank in her heart. She grabbed the railing tightly and shouted worriedly: What's the matter? Xiaoxu?
Shi Xiaokai waved his hand hard: No, no, your brother is fine, I don’t know what the specific matter is.
Then I'll come down
Shi Xiaokai never lie to himself. He said it's okay, my brother must be fine.
Fang Xueqing felt relieved, agreed, turned around and saw Teacher Cao looking at him at the door, and smiled: Who is looking for you?
Fang Xueqing replied embarrassedly: Shi Xiaokai from Class 3 of Science said that I had something to do in my family and asked me to go back.
Oh, it's that big tall guy. I heard it's quite naughty. Let's go down together
Teacher Cao smiled and watched Fang Xueqing take down the snow scene of the prosperous times that had just been drafted, carefully rolled up and tied it up, and continued: You don’t need to wash your pen and paint box. When you wash it, you can help her wash it together. Let’s put the paintings and drawing boards here tomorrow. The teacher will take them to the classroom tomorrow to give them to you.
Washing painting tools is really time-consuming, so it is much easier to arrange them
So Fang Xueqing looked at Gao Yixiong inquiringly. She thought Shi Xiaokai suddenly appeared and could not have eaten with Fang Xueqing again. So when she saw Shi Xiaokai's disappointed child, she heard that she could do something for Fang Xueqing and had the opportunity to contact her when she was still painting tools tomorrow, she became happy again and agreed repeatedly, "Good Ah, Good Ah, as if she had picked up money."
Fang Xueqing thanked him and walked to the door with Teacher Cao. The two of them talked about the line draft she had just drawn downstairs.
Shi Xiaokai, who was looking at the door, saw Teacher Cao and stood straight.
Teacher Cao looked at the electric car he was holding and smiled kindly: The snow has not melted yet, the road is slippery, please ride slowly, if you fall yourself, I don’t care, you don’t let us fall Fang Xueqing Ah
Shi Xiaokai looked at Fang Xueqing, and nodded with a chuckle.
Teacher Cao stepped on his bicycle that was half-new and not old, and the other party smiled and said: Go, don't worry, you can draw, you will only be selected during the summer vacation, and you will draw it slowly for you for a whole semester.
Thank you, Teacher Cao
Fang Xueqing agreed and watched Teacher Cao ride his bike with Shi Xiaokai before then turned around and looked at Shi Xiaokai. Her clear eyes were full of doubts and asked: Brother Xiaokai, what's wrong with my family? Don't make excuses to pull me to play, I want to draw.
Shi Xiaokai waved his hand quickly: No, you have participated in so many drawing competitions since you were a child, and I have harassed you any time, I really don’t know what it was. It was your aunt who came to my house and said that your mother asked me to help you go back.
Ah?She?What can she do?
I don't walk around my own family with this only cousin's house frequently, which makes Fang Xueqing more suspicious.
But Shi Xiaokai smiled and said: She hugged your little cousin and hurriedly told me and left. I didn't have time to ask me when I passed by your doorstep. I saw her taking your brother to play with her and she knew what happened.
As he said that, he stepped onto the electric car, turned around and patted the back seat
Fang Xueqing didn't think much about it anymore, and got on the electric car sideways. She looked up and saw Gao Yixiang poking half of her head out from the railing, looking at herself and Shi Xiaokai.
But Shi Xiaokai didn't care, but shouted: Xiaoxue, sit down Ah
Seeing that Fang Xueqing didn't respond, she turned around and pulled Fang Xueqing's hand to hold his waist without hesitation, and then started the electric car
Fang Xueqing looked at Gao Yixiang and nodded
Now he should understand
In order to dispel his last lucky mentality, she deliberately hugged Shi Xiaokai's waist more affectionately than usual, leaning against Shi Xiaokai's back until the electric car left the school gate
It is the first Sunday after school starts, and it is still late in the year, so I didn’t see many people outside the school gate.
The food stalls that are bustling on weekdays are only open, and they are all
The snow on the road has melted, the half-dry and half-wet road conditions are quite good, and there are no cars coming and going, but Shi Xiaokai is still driving very slowly
This guy was reckless and he bumped and bumped into each other every few days while riding his bike alone, but he never let Fang Xueqing fall down
The two quietly walked between the surging rivers and the continuous green mountains. Soon after, they turned a corner. The familiar campus had disappeared behind them. A newly paved square appeared at the foot of the mountain in front of them. A group of brand new and grand office buildings stood on the edge of the square.
This is the newly completed new district government, but it has not been officially put into use yet
Fang Xueqing watched it turn from a wasteland to a part of the city, and she felt a little proud every time she passed by.
Because the stones used in paving this square and the building buildings all come from the quarry where my father works.
The whole piece of water-like blue stone slabs on the square and the gray stone slabs on the exterior walls of the towering building were all dug out of the mountains by my father.
He is the best quarry
When the snow had not stopped two days ago, the owner of the quarry came to pay New Year's greetings and asked his father to go to work as soon as it cleared.
His voice was still in his ears: Lao Fang, after so long it has been snowing, many orders cannot be delivered, and many construction sites will soon be rushing to make progress in the beginning of the year. I can't say that I will work hard for you for a while.
Building this prosperous era requires not only capitalists and officials, not only university professors and scientists, but also workers like their fathers.
Fang Xueqing smiled unconsciously. She has always been proud of her father and the relationship between father and daughter has always been very good.
Although she is already a big girl, she still often acts coquettishly with her father
In front of her father, she will always be a little girl who never grows up
The new district government slowly disappeared behind
After passing here, there is a planned high-tech zone ahead
But now it is just a wasteland, and it still maintains its natural appearance
The electric car continued to move between the green mountains and the rivers. The poplar trees on the roadside had not yet grown new leaves, but the land exposed between the white snow had already appeared faintly green.
Then there were large fish ponds on the roadside, and on the other side were large vegetable fields.
The vegetable farmers were sorting out the damaged plastic film in the snow disaster, and the bright sunlight was dancing when they turned over.
After leaving the highway, I walked around a small hill, and my vision was blocked for a moment
When the moment suddenly became clear again, a small village surrounded by mountains and rivers was covered with snow, shining in the noon sunshine.
This is the village where Fang Xueqing's family is located
Although it is not as beautiful as a fairyland as a tourist attraction, it is backed by a continuous green mountains and facing the rolling river. The scenery is beautiful and it has a magnificent atmosphere. According to the old people, Feng Shui is also very good.
For thousands of years, the ancestors of Fang Xueqing and Shi Xiaokai have been here for generations, and the torch has been passed down from generation to generation.
The old mulberry tree at the entrance of the village that was pumping again has witnessed countless generations of time. Now the government has hung an illustrator to protect ancient trees.
And soon, it will be the annual season for mulberries to eat once a year
Fang Xueqing stared at the tender green on the branches of the old mulberry tree, and the familiar sweetness appeared in her mouth.
Every year she can eat the best mulberries. At first, her father picked it for her. After Shi Xiaokai learned to climb trees, she got the job.
This guy picks too much every time, and can't finish it.
The old mulberry tree is so generous that during those days every year, even the mouths of the dogs in the village will turn purple.
Just as I thought of the dogs, a big yellow dog ran out of the village entrance.
It was old, but its pace was still light. After seeing Fang Xueqing, it immediately ran with the electric car.
Fang Xueqing couldn't help but laugh: Dahuang, I didn't bring you anything to eat today
After hearing this, Dahuang stopped, grinned and smiled at Xueqing, then turned around and crawled into the dead grass that was still covered with snow on the root.
After Dahuang's figure disappeared, the electric car also entered the entrance of the village.
Two rows of neat three-story buildings are sandwiched with a cement road that was just built two years ago. Each building is exactly the same height.
Because no one wants to be suppressed by his neighbors, after several disputes or even bloody incidents, the village has formed unwritten rules, and the highest can only be covered so high
Therefore, some families with good conditions or who love face can only work hard on decoration
Therefore, although the height is the same, the style of each small building is different and all kinds of strange things
This building has been built into a European-style castle, and that building has built a horn-flying eaves
The daughter of the left family made a fortune and put on the glass curtain wall. The son of the right family became an official and built a marble wall.
But Fang Xueqing, who has studied art now, seems a bit inappropriate. For example, the Byzantine doors and windows of the house are equipped with Arabic roofs. Those who know history will definitely be dumbfounded when they see it.
There is a yard in front of each house, some plant flowers, some plant trees, and some hold grape trellis, but the shelf is crawling with loofahs or lentils.
The only similarity between each house is probably the eye-catching red painted detachable words on the courtyard wall
And this word is particularly red on the wall of Fang Xueqing's house.
Her family's financial conditions are not very good. My father is a quarry. It was not until the country built a lot of construction everywhere in recent years that the income was higher.
My mother has no formal job and has to spend a lot of energy to take care of her younger brother, so she can only walk on a tricycle to sell fruits around the streets and subsidize her daily necessities.
In addition, my younger brother spent a lot of money at a special rehabilitation school, so the family didn’t build a new house until three years ago, which was almost the latest in the village.
So the wall of Fang Xueqing's home is still very new
In addition, the material is bluestone of water. Although they are all scraps collected by my father in the quarry, my father has been dealing with the stones for a lifetime, and his natural arrangements are arranged and his skillful craftsmanship makes the courtyard wall look as bright and leisurely as a pool of autumn water.
Now this beautiful blue water surface is studded into two blood red. Whether you have learned art or not, you may feel visually unwell.
Until Shi Xiaokai stopped the electric car at her door, she stared at the word disgustedly, then withdrew her gaze, jumped off the electric car and said with a smile: Brother Xiaokai, my parents are not at home today, if you have something delicious at home, I won’t leave you for dinner?
Shi Xiaokai sat on the electric car and said with a smile: What's the point of not eating? I want to accompany the guests. It's true. My third uncle is coming to drink again today. When I was out just now, my dad told me to go back and accompany me quickly.
Fang Xueqing smiled brightly: That third uncle in the armed forces? You should accompany you, but don’t drink, you still go to school, okay, at most three drinks
I know, I don’t like to drink, this is not a guest during the New Year. Shi Xiaokai smiled and lowered his voice: If you have nothing to do, you won’t go to school, right? Let’s finish our meal later...
Fang Xueqing pouted and pretended to be impatient: OK OK OK, let's talk about it later, go back soon, otherwise my uncle will be anxious and will beat you again if he gets angry.
When I was in high school, he didn't beat me. Shi Xiaokai smiled and the electric car suddenly rushed out like an arrow from the string.
Fang Xueqing watched him walk away before turning around and pushing open his own courtyard door.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother's tricycle parked at the door casually. The oranges and pineapples in the truck were piled up in a bunch of pineapples. There was even an unsliced pineapple on the skins.
She had never seen her mother so confused, and she felt inexplicable doubts in her heart. But at this time, she heard the shouts of a little boy Ah, Ah coming from the house. She didn't think much about it and quickly walked through the yard and pushed the door into the house.
The simple furnishings are also scattered with festive reds and golds during the New Year. There are two or three simple meals on the dining table in the middle of the main hall.
A young woman in her twenties was bent at the table and leaned out her upper body. She held a baby girl about half a year old in one hand and grabbed a boy who was over teenager with the other hand and was struggling to escape from the dining table. At the same time, she shouted anxiously: Don't run, don't run, you can't eat those snacks when you eat, don't run...
The boy's skin is fair and his eyebrows are pretty, and he looks a little like Fang Xueqing
Although he is only over ten years old, he is vaguely catching up with Fang Xueqing. He seems to be a boy who is very popular. If he doesn't look at his eyes carefully,
But the first time people who see his eyes clearly will often be scared. It's not that the child has some fierce and cruel eyes, but because there seems to be nothing in his beautiful eyes, which are clearly black and white.
Without eyes, emotions, and soul, coupled with his meaningless, monotonous and dull AhAh shout, you can draw a conclusion immediately:
This child has a brain problem or an intellectual defect
Most people will stay away from such children, but of course Fang Xueqing will not
She walked over quickly and smiled gently: Xiaoxu, why are you not obedient again? You can’t eat snacks when eating? Be good, come and have a meal
As he said that, he had already put the rice bowl in front of the little boy, and then handed it over with a spoon and smiled.
The boy stopped shouting and struggled, calmed down, looked at Fang Xueqing with his empty eyes for a moment, and after receiving Fang Xueqing's gentle but firm eyes as an answer, he finally took the spoon obediently, lowered his head and started to eat.
At this time, he looks no different from a normal child
Fang Xueqing looked at him and sighed softly, then turned to the young woman
But the other party spoke first, looked at the boy and smiled reluctantly: Just have to eat by yourself, it will definitely be cured if you look at it like this.
It's Ah
Fang Xueqing smiled happily and said: She can also go to the toilet by herself, wash her face and brush her teeth... She needs help in taking a bath, but she knows she is afraid of water, fire, and electricity. She is actually very worry-free and has learned to write a few words. Even he can write his own name. Fang Xusheng's three words are quite difficult to write. If she insists on going to a rehabilitation school, she will definitely have no problem in her normal life in the future.
Although she was very happy, she still noticed her aunt's absent-mindedness and unpretentious panic and worrying, and finally couldn't help asking: Auntie, did you ask Brother Xiaokai to call me back? What's the matter?
The young woman looked at her, opened her mouth, first smiled bitterly, then sighed, as if she didn't dare to look at Fang Xueqing. She looked at the boy who was burying her head for a while before she whispered: Xiaoxue, don't worry, listen? Be calm down first, don't panic...
Of course, this will only make Fang Xueqing more suspicious and worried, but she did not urge her, but looked at her aunt quietly.
My aunt looked at her quickly, then lowered her eyes and said with difficulty: Xiaoxue, your father's quarry is not the stone in the mountains... It snowed heavily a few days ago, and there was a lot of snow. It has warmed up these days. The snow has melted during the day, and the snow water seeped into the cracks of the stones that were dug, and it freezes at night... After a few days, the cracks of the stones were slacked a lot. Then when your father started working today, he set off firecrackers, but he didn't expect that the mountain would collapse suddenly...
The river wind that had been raging for many days finally stopped being sharp, and gently passed through the sparse forest on the beach with the soothing sound of waves.
When the wind occasionally calms down, the world is so quiet that it seems that the sound of snow melting can be heard
The sun was bathed in the whole morning, and Fang Xueqing's nose had already unknowingly bleached with sweat, and her fair cheeks also showed a faint blush.
Finally, she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the sun. She put down the brush in her hand and unzipped the down jacket, so the thin wool sweater could no longer hide her slim and charming figure.
Because she is still young, the shy peaks on her chest can only be considered to have begun to take shape, but the curves between her waist have already vaguely outlined her moving charm in the future
Then she stood up, raised her arms and simply moved her body, which was a little stiff after sitting for a long time, leaned back slightly, and looked at the scroll in front of her.
The white gouache paper is still only the outline of light ochre monochrome lines. It seems a bit messy at first glance, but it has already had the prototype of a complex scroll.
There are continuous hills and rushing rivers, bustling cities and quiet villages, vegetable fields and orchards and street construction sites, but there are no characters yet.
Don't hurry, take it slowly
The next step is to put your hopes and dreams into your younger brother, Shi Xiaokai, and Mom and Dad...
The picture is put into this scroll
Fang Xueqing turned around with a smile. Gao Yixiáng, who had been quietly watching her since she stopped writing, immediately looked at Jiangshui and asked: What's wrong?
Fang Xueqing glanced at Gao Yixiong's painting curiously, but from here he could only see the side of his drawing board, and there was not enough perspective to see the content on the picture.
Moreover, Gao Yixiang turned the easel over in panic, keeping the drawing board facing Fang Xueqing, and laughed awkwardly: No, no, I don’t know what I painted, my level is much different from yours. When I finish drawing it, I will give you some advice.
As Gao Yixiong himself said, he is indeed one of the most ordinary and unobtrusive students in the class.
Since they chose art class since the second year of high school, they have never received any rewards or punishments in the past six months.
Teacher Cao never seemed to praise his works, but he never criticized them.
Fang Xueqing knew almost nothing about him except knowing his name
This time he decided to participate in the competition, which actually made Fang Xueqing a little surprised and curious.
Of course, Fang Xueqing could only answer humbly at this moment: Why, we are all learning, don’t praise me if there is any level gap.
Gao Yixiong's humility is with self-aware sincerity: I have not praised you for taking the exam for the Central Beauty or the Gome, or Humei, and Guangmei, and I will never go out of the scope of the eight major art academies. I may be a painter in the future. I might be able to see the art exhibition you have held. Thank you for being able to attend the second-tier art department. The ideal thing is to be an art teacher in elementary or junior high school? Not to mention that half of our class cannot pass the exam. They are afraid that they will give people portraits on the street, hahaha... We are not a key high school in art. Although I have not reached the level of talent, everyone knows in my heart that the talent of learning art is too important. Whether or not talent is not the same as you are such a good talent. Teacher Cao said that he has encountered it for the first time since he taught.
Perhaps it was because he was with Fang Xueqing that the child seemed particularly long-winded, but what he said was basically true.
This school is located in the junction of provincial capitals and suburban areas of central provinces, which is so ordinary that it is not a key high school. It has only been open for more than ten years.
Those who can be admitted to a professional art academy will only be able to get one in two or three years on average
Fang Xueqing didn't know what to say, so she could only try to cheer him up: I have any talent, but it's better to be patient... It's still early to say that we have a year to finish the art exam and there are cultural courses. Didn't Teacher Cao often say that we should have confidence? As long as you really like art, you will definitely succeed.
Fang Xueqing herself is just a little girl with no experience and is not good at speaking. These words are not strong enough, they are not painful or itchy, and they are completely unacceptable to chicken soup.
But often the content of the words is not important, what matters is the person who speaks is important
Gao Yixiang was still happy and said with a smile: Patience and persistence are the most important talents. By the way, aren’t you going to draw?
It was already noon, so I said to Teacher Cao, go to have a meal. Fang Xueqing turned around lightly: Let's draw again after dinner. This is not something I can draw in a day or a half. It may take several times.
Gao Yixiáng raised his wrist and looked at his beautiful sports watch, realizing that there is a rare opportunity to have lunch with Fang Xueqing, or even be alone.
This opportunity came too suddenly, which made this guy not have time to prepare mentally, so he answered a little incoherently: Then I will go too, there is a meal in the cafeteria today? I didn’t get a meal card...Ah, let’s go out together? You tell Teacher Cao first, I will go too, too, right?
The slightly funny reaction made Fang Xueqing pursed her lips and chuckled, like a spring flower swaying among the snow.
Of course she understood Gao Yixiang's affection for herself. A girl as outstanding as her is never missing a love letter or confession, a girl like her is always a must.
But she has always faced it calmly. After all, the two are still classmates and they still have to draw together to compete together.
Moreover, the two of them have only been in the same class for half a year. They just recognized who is who. After getting to know each other more, he will know Shi Xiaokai's existence and will retreat.
So he agreed, OK, and opened the door and returned to the living room
There were only three high school students in the living room. The practice objects were changed from plaster models to real apples and bananas, but Teacher Cao was nowhere to be seen.
Fang Xueqing asked in a low voice, and a enthusiastic little boy rushed to tell her that Teacher Cao had just returned to the bedroom.
Fang Xueqing hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door of Teacher Cao's master bedroom
The door was not closed tightly, leaving a half-foot-wide crack, but the indoor scene was not visible
She was just raising her hand to knock on the door when she heard Teacher Cao’s confusing and concerned voice: … Didn’t it disappear before the New Year?
The one on the left disappeared, and there was another one on the right these two days. You are gentle, it hurts. The voice of a middle-aged woman answered in a cooing mood. Fang Xueqing knew that this was the voice of Teacher Cao's wife.
If this continues, it won’t work. Although nothing is wrong now, it will be a disease after all.
Teacher Cao's voice could not hide his worries. After a rustling sound of clothes, he continued: I will take you to a large hospital for a good look this summer vacation, so I will treat the root cut. I have a high school classmate in Guangzhou Zhongshan Hospital.
OK, we are not in a good hospital here, so it is not that easy to see this.
The teacher's wife's voice was dissatisfied: Even Xiaoqi couldn't take care of her death salary, and she was still trying to do anything about her postgraduate entrance examination this year. What should you do? Xiaoqi wants to give their professors some gifts and take the exam for their school after all. You should solve this problem first and prepare for her.
……well
Teacher Cao sighed after a while, as if he had swallowed something back.
But the master's wife began to complain like Fang Xueqing was familiar with: You said, if you were willing to run away from relationships, would you have such a professional title now? Will you stay in this broken school? You are noble, okay, don't use your trick to cheat Xiaoqi in this day and age. It's not enough to be good grades alone, but you have to run Ah, although Xiaoqi has good grades, it's another thing to stay in school. If you don't prepare money for her, can you tell her to sleep with their professors like those girls?
Fang Xueqing felt that she was not suitable for her and should not listen to the private affairs of Teacher Cao's family. She was thinking about whether to go back to the living room or wait or find an opportunity to knock on the door, but the teacher's wife's voice kept talking. The content made her unable to contain her curiosity and unable to move: You are not happy, which high school head teacher is like you, Lao Qin and you went to school with you, and just bought an Audi for his son. Why? A4 is not Audi Ah Xiaolu, a student you taught. Now she has been working as a teacher for three years. I just took my girlfriend to play with Maldives during the winter vacation... It's just that weird, you are just aloof, and it's like you have a grudge against money. What's wrong with money?
Teacher Cao finally whispered: How can I be noble? We are not poor, and it’s great now... We are teachers, why do we need so much money to do... Just spend enough money... If people compare, there is no end...
Oh, I am not competing with others, nor do I dislike you for being poor. I will dislike you for not being with you at the beginning.
The teacher's wife looked very sorry for her: It's such a society now, I don't care, but I can't let Xiaoqi suffer grievances. Besides, it's not difficult for you to make money. Now there are so many art students. You can hold a training class during the winter and summer vacations. How much does it take to make up for the tutoring? Is it still unconscience? Teacher Huang and a music teacher at our school will run a piano training class together every time they take a holiday. Usually, they charge money by hour for individual students. Parents of students can only thank them. Is the money they earn not clean? You can try it too. I asked Teacher Huang, and he said that these extra money is much higher than the salary.
Let’s talk about this later. Teacher Cao seemed to hate this topic very much and said a little bluntly: Get me one hundred yuan first.
What to do? The master's wife let out an indistinguishable sigh and did not continue to criticize Teacher Cao
It's almost time to go to dinner, and the cafeteria is not open today. Could it be that those children are hungry and I'll go buy some vegetables? Old Cao said with a giggle.
It would be fine if you don’t make money from students. The teacher’s wife muttered dissatisfiedly: You have to pay for them food and drink. Remember to buy paper cups. The paper cups are almost over. If you have students, you will have no water to drink.
Alas, OK, OK, thank you, my wife
Teacher Cao's laughter finally became happy
Fang Xueqing reacted and hurriedly raised her hand to knock on the door
After two moves, Teacher Cao opened the door, holding a hundred-dollar bill in his hand, and asked with a smile: Ah, what's wrong?
Fang Xueqing, who had just talked, was more respectful than before, and bowed and replied: Teacher Cao, I'll go out for dinner.
Teacher Cao laughed heartily and said: Today is Sunday, the cafeteria is not open, where do you go to eat
He said, while walking to the living room on his own, and at the same time he raised his voice: It’s expensive and not delicious outside, and it’s not nutritious yet. You have grown up. Besides, this is still in the first lunar month, and it’s not half past the month. It’s still the New Year when you come to the teacher’s house during the New Year. The teacher can’t let you go to the stalls outside to eat fried noodles.
He strode through the living room and walked towards the door: The teacher went to buy a chicken and we were having hot pot!
Fang Xueqing was naturally embarrassed to have dinner at Teacher Cao's house again. She was thinking about how to refuse, but the door of the balcony was suddenly opened. Gao Yixiang stood at the door and said with a depressed look on his face: Fang Xueqing, someone called you
Fang Xueqing was stunned for a moment and walked quickly to the balcony
When he lay down on the railing, he saw Shi Xiaokai downstairs, holding his fancy electric car, tilted his head and looked around.
As soon as you see her, you immediately shouted: Xiaoxue, your family asked me to come to find you, and if you have something to do, you will go back.
This was the first time when Teacher Cao was painting when he was called back when he was painting at home. Fang Xueqing couldn't help but feel a little sank in her heart. She grabbed the railing tightly and shouted worriedly: What's the matter? Xiaoxu?
Shi Xiaokai waved his hand hard: No, no, your brother is fine, I don’t know what the specific matter is.
Then I'll come down
Shi Xiaokai never lie to himself. He said it's okay, my brother must be fine.
Fang Xueqing felt relieved, agreed, turned around and saw Teacher Cao looking at him at the door, and smiled: Who is looking for you?
Fang Xueqing replied embarrassedly: Shi Xiaokai from Class 3 of Science said that I had something to do in my family and asked me to go back.
Oh, it's that big tall guy. I heard it's quite naughty. Let's go down together
Teacher Cao smiled and watched Fang Xueqing take down the snow scene of the prosperous times that had just been drafted, carefully rolled up and tied it up, and continued: You don’t need to wash your pen and paint box. When you wash it, you can help her wash it together. Let’s put the paintings and drawing boards here tomorrow. The teacher will take them to the classroom tomorrow to give them to you.
Washing painting tools is really time-consuming, so it is much easier to arrange them
So Fang Xueqing looked at Gao Yixiong inquiringly. She thought Shi Xiaokai suddenly appeared and could not have eaten with Fang Xueqing again. So when she saw Shi Xiaokai's disappointed child, she heard that she could do something for Fang Xueqing and had the opportunity to contact her when she was still painting tools tomorrow, she became happy again and agreed repeatedly, "Good Ah, Good Ah, as if she had picked up money."
Fang Xueqing thanked him and walked to the door with Teacher Cao. The two of them talked about the line draft she had just drawn downstairs.
Shi Xiaokai, who was looking at the door, saw Teacher Cao and stood straight.
Teacher Cao looked at the electric car he was holding and smiled kindly: The snow has not melted yet, the road is slippery, please ride slowly, if you fall yourself, I don’t care, you don’t let us fall Fang Xueqing Ah
Shi Xiaokai looked at Fang Xueqing, and nodded with a chuckle.
Teacher Cao stepped on his bicycle that was half-new and not old, and the other party smiled and said: Go, don't worry, you can draw, you will only be selected during the summer vacation, and you will draw it slowly for you for a whole semester.
Thank you, Teacher Cao
Fang Xueqing agreed and watched Teacher Cao ride his bike with Shi Xiaokai before then turned around and looked at Shi Xiaokai. Her clear eyes were full of doubts and asked: Brother Xiaokai, what's wrong with my family? Don't make excuses to pull me to play, I want to draw.
Shi Xiaokai waved his hand quickly: No, you have participated in so many drawing competitions since you were a child, and I have harassed you any time, I really don’t know what it was. It was your aunt who came to my house and said that your mother asked me to help you go back.
Ah?She?What can she do?
I don't walk around my own family with this only cousin's house frequently, which makes Fang Xueqing more suspicious.
But Shi Xiaokai smiled and said: She hugged your little cousin and hurriedly told me and left. I didn't have time to ask me when I passed by your doorstep. I saw her taking your brother to play with her and she knew what happened.
As he said that, he stepped onto the electric car, turned around and patted the back seat
Fang Xueqing didn't think much about it anymore, and got on the electric car sideways. She looked up and saw Gao Yixiang poking half of her head out from the railing, looking at herself and Shi Xiaokai.
But Shi Xiaokai didn't care, but shouted: Xiaoxue, sit down Ah
Seeing that Fang Xueqing didn't respond, she turned around and pulled Fang Xueqing's hand to hold his waist without hesitation, and then started the electric car
Fang Xueqing looked at Gao Yixiang and nodded
Now he should understand
In order to dispel his last lucky mentality, she deliberately hugged Shi Xiaokai's waist more affectionately than usual, leaning against Shi Xiaokai's back until the electric car left the school gate
It is the first Sunday after school starts, and it is still late in the year, so I didn’t see many people outside the school gate.
The food stalls that are bustling on weekdays are only open, and they are all
The snow on the road has melted, the half-dry and half-wet road conditions are quite good, and there are no cars coming and going, but Shi Xiaokai is still driving very slowly
This guy was reckless and he bumped and bumped into each other every few days while riding his bike alone, but he never let Fang Xueqing fall down
The two quietly walked between the surging rivers and the continuous green mountains. Soon after, they turned a corner. The familiar campus had disappeared behind them. A newly paved square appeared at the foot of the mountain in front of them. A group of brand new and grand office buildings stood on the edge of the square.
This is the newly completed new district government, but it has not been officially put into use yet
Fang Xueqing watched it turn from a wasteland to a part of the city, and she felt a little proud every time she passed by.
Because the stones used in paving this square and the building buildings all come from the quarry where my father works.
The whole piece of water-like blue stone slabs on the square and the gray stone slabs on the exterior walls of the towering building were all dug out of the mountains by my father.
He is the best quarry
When the snow had not stopped two days ago, the owner of the quarry came to pay New Year's greetings and asked his father to go to work as soon as it cleared.
His voice was still in his ears: Lao Fang, after so long it has been snowing, many orders cannot be delivered, and many construction sites will soon be rushing to make progress in the beginning of the year. I can't say that I will work hard for you for a while.
Building this prosperous era requires not only capitalists and officials, not only university professors and scientists, but also workers like their fathers.
Fang Xueqing smiled unconsciously. She has always been proud of her father and the relationship between father and daughter has always been very good.
Although she is already a big girl, she still often acts coquettishly with her father
In front of her father, she will always be a little girl who never grows up
The new district government slowly disappeared behind
After passing here, there is a planned high-tech zone ahead
But now it is just a wasteland, and it still maintains its natural appearance
The electric car continued to move between the green mountains and the rivers. The poplar trees on the roadside had not yet grown new leaves, but the land exposed between the white snow had already appeared faintly green.
Then there were large fish ponds on the roadside, and on the other side were large vegetable fields.
The vegetable farmers were sorting out the damaged plastic film in the snow disaster, and the bright sunlight was dancing when they turned over.
After leaving the highway, I walked around a small hill, and my vision was blocked for a moment
When the moment suddenly became clear again, a small village surrounded by mountains and rivers was covered with snow, shining in the noon sunshine.
This is the village where Fang Xueqing's family is located
Although it is not as beautiful as a fairyland as a tourist attraction, it is backed by a continuous green mountains and facing the rolling river. The scenery is beautiful and it has a magnificent atmosphere. According to the old people, Feng Shui is also very good.
For thousands of years, the ancestors of Fang Xueqing and Shi Xiaokai have been here for generations, and the torch has been passed down from generation to generation.
The old mulberry tree at the entrance of the village that was pumping again has witnessed countless generations of time. Now the government has hung an illustrator to protect ancient trees.
And soon, it will be the annual season for mulberries to eat once a year
Fang Xueqing stared at the tender green on the branches of the old mulberry tree, and the familiar sweetness appeared in her mouth.
Every year she can eat the best mulberries. At first, her father picked it for her. After Shi Xiaokai learned to climb trees, she got the job.
This guy picks too much every time, and can't finish it.
The old mulberry tree is so generous that during those days every year, even the mouths of the dogs in the village will turn purple.
Just as I thought of the dogs, a big yellow dog ran out of the village entrance.
It was old, but its pace was still light. After seeing Fang Xueqing, it immediately ran with the electric car.
Fang Xueqing couldn't help but laugh: Dahuang, I didn't bring you anything to eat today
After hearing this, Dahuang stopped, grinned and smiled at Xueqing, then turned around and crawled into the dead grass that was still covered with snow on the root.
After Dahuang's figure disappeared, the electric car also entered the entrance of the village.
Two rows of neat three-story buildings are sandwiched with a cement road that was just built two years ago. Each building is exactly the same height.
Because no one wants to be suppressed by his neighbors, after several disputes or even bloody incidents, the village has formed unwritten rules, and the highest can only be covered so high
Therefore, some families with good conditions or who love face can only work hard on decoration
Therefore, although the height is the same, the style of each small building is different and all kinds of strange things
This building has been built into a European-style castle, and that building has built a horn-flying eaves
The daughter of the left family made a fortune and put on the glass curtain wall. The son of the right family became an official and built a marble wall.
But Fang Xueqing, who has studied art now, seems a bit inappropriate. For example, the Byzantine doors and windows of the house are equipped with Arabic roofs. Those who know history will definitely be dumbfounded when they see it.
There is a yard in front of each house, some plant flowers, some plant trees, and some hold grape trellis, but the shelf is crawling with loofahs or lentils.
The only similarity between each house is probably the eye-catching red painted detachable words on the courtyard wall
And this word is particularly red on the wall of Fang Xueqing's house.
Her family's financial conditions are not very good. My father is a quarry. It was not until the country built a lot of construction everywhere in recent years that the income was higher.
My mother has no formal job and has to spend a lot of energy to take care of her younger brother, so she can only walk on a tricycle to sell fruits around the streets and subsidize her daily necessities.
In addition, my younger brother spent a lot of money at a special rehabilitation school, so the family didn’t build a new house until three years ago, which was almost the latest in the village.
So the wall of Fang Xueqing's home is still very new
In addition, the material is bluestone of water. Although they are all scraps collected by my father in the quarry, my father has been dealing with the stones for a lifetime, and his natural arrangements are arranged and his skillful craftsmanship makes the courtyard wall look as bright and leisurely as a pool of autumn water.
Now this beautiful blue water surface is studded into two blood red. Whether you have learned art or not, you may feel visually unwell.
Until Shi Xiaokai stopped the electric car at her door, she stared at the word disgustedly, then withdrew her gaze, jumped off the electric car and said with a smile: Brother Xiaokai, my parents are not at home today, if you have something delicious at home, I won’t leave you for dinner?
Shi Xiaokai sat on the electric car and said with a smile: What's the point of not eating? I want to accompany the guests. It's true. My third uncle is coming to drink again today. When I was out just now, my dad told me to go back and accompany me quickly.
Fang Xueqing smiled brightly: That third uncle in the armed forces? You should accompany you, but don’t drink, you still go to school, okay, at most three drinks
I know, I don’t like to drink, this is not a guest during the New Year. Shi Xiaokai smiled and lowered his voice: If you have nothing to do, you won’t go to school, right? Let’s finish our meal later...
Fang Xueqing pouted and pretended to be impatient: OK OK OK, let's talk about it later, go back soon, otherwise my uncle will be anxious and will beat you again if he gets angry.
When I was in high school, he didn't beat me. Shi Xiaokai smiled and the electric car suddenly rushed out like an arrow from the string.
Fang Xueqing watched him walk away before turning around and pushing open his own courtyard door.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother's tricycle parked at the door casually. The oranges and pineapples in the truck were piled up in a bunch of pineapples. There was even an unsliced pineapple on the skins.
She had never seen her mother so confused, and she felt inexplicable doubts in her heart. But at this time, she heard the shouts of a little boy Ah, Ah coming from the house. She didn't think much about it and quickly walked through the yard and pushed the door into the house.
The simple furnishings are also scattered with festive reds and golds during the New Year. There are two or three simple meals on the dining table in the middle of the main hall.
A young woman in her twenties was bent at the table and leaned out her upper body. She held a baby girl about half a year old in one hand and grabbed a boy who was over teenager with the other hand and was struggling to escape from the dining table. At the same time, she shouted anxiously: Don't run, don't run, you can't eat those snacks when you eat, don't run...
The boy's skin is fair and his eyebrows are pretty, and he looks a little like Fang Xueqing
Although he is only over ten years old, he is vaguely catching up with Fang Xueqing. He seems to be a boy who is very popular. If he doesn't look at his eyes carefully,
But the first time people who see his eyes clearly will often be scared. It's not that the child has some fierce and cruel eyes, but because there seems to be nothing in his beautiful eyes, which are clearly black and white.
Without eyes, emotions, and soul, coupled with his meaningless, monotonous and dull AhAh shout, you can draw a conclusion immediately:
This child has a brain problem or an intellectual defect
Most people will stay away from such children, but of course Fang Xueqing will not
She walked over quickly and smiled gently: Xiaoxu, why are you not obedient again? You can’t eat snacks when eating? Be good, come and have a meal
As he said that, he had already put the rice bowl in front of the little boy, and then handed it over with a spoon and smiled.
The boy stopped shouting and struggled, calmed down, looked at Fang Xueqing with his empty eyes for a moment, and after receiving Fang Xueqing's gentle but firm eyes as an answer, he finally took the spoon obediently, lowered his head and started to eat.
At this time, he looks no different from a normal child
Fang Xueqing looked at him and sighed softly, then turned to the young woman
But the other party spoke first, looked at the boy and smiled reluctantly: Just have to eat by yourself, it will definitely be cured if you look at it like this.
It's Ah
Fang Xueqing smiled happily and said: She can also go to the toilet by herself, wash her face and brush her teeth... She needs help in taking a bath, but she knows she is afraid of water, fire, and electricity. She is actually very worry-free and has learned to write a few words. Even he can write his own name. Fang Xusheng's three words are quite difficult to write. If she insists on going to a rehabilitation school, she will definitely have no problem in her normal life in the future.
Although she was very happy, she still noticed her aunt's absent-mindedness and unpretentious panic and worrying, and finally couldn't help asking: Auntie, did you ask Brother Xiaokai to call me back? What's the matter?
The young woman looked at her, opened her mouth, first smiled bitterly, then sighed, as if she didn't dare to look at Fang Xueqing. She looked at the boy who was burying her head for a while before she whispered: Xiaoxue, don't worry, listen? Be calm down first, don't panic...
Of course, this will only make Fang Xueqing more suspicious and worried, but she did not urge her, but looked at her aunt quietly.
My aunt looked at her quickly, then lowered her eyes and said with difficulty: Xiaoxue, your father's quarry is not the stone in the mountains... It snowed heavily a few days ago, and there was a lot of snow. It has warmed up these days. The snow has melted during the day, and the snow water seeped into the cracks of the stones that were dug, and it freezes at night... After a few days, the cracks of the stones were slacked a lot. Then when your father started working today, he set off firecrackers, but he didn't expect that the mountain would collapse suddenly...
