Chapter 492 The story I had to tell with my primary school sister in the straw stack (8k subscription!)
In the past few days, Xu Zhimu first took the time to go to Kyoto.
Discussed with Ye Luojia the opportunity to arrange for the primary school sister to meet the painter.
Just in time for the opening of the art exhibition in Binhai City, Xu Zhimu also spent some money to sponsor it. After all, the brand needs to be promoted, and some things related to fame and reputation also need to be done.
In order to avoid being criticized in the future, I can also take this opportunity to walk away the relationship. Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have not separated... I can't say too many.
I am going to invite the painter introduced by Mr. Qin to come over, and I will introduce it naturally when the time comes, so as to avoid the nervousness of the primary school sister.
And it can be justified in name.
Of course, Xu Zhimu finally fulfilled his promise and cooked nutritious, delicious and high-protein meals for Ye Luojialian several times.
Feed her well.
Originally, he said he would hang out with An Xiaomi, but during this period of time, Xu Zhimu still planned to settle down with the primary school sister first.
And it's almost June.
The summer vacation of college students is extremely long, and the primary school sister will definitely go back to her hometown for a period of time. During that time, she will have a lot of time to go out with An Xiaomi.
Of course, An Xiaomi hummed unhappily for a long time, and made many, many requests.
Xu Zhimu accepted them one by one with a smile.
Anyway, he knew how deep An Xiaomi was.
I feel that the quality of the picture... the fighting power is not as good as Ye Luojia.
Even following the primary school sister was a little bit worse. After all, the body of this girl, An Xiaomi, is like a flower bud that has just bloomed.
Extraordinarily delicate and beautiful.
During the last few days of vacation, Xu Zhimu didn't go anywhere, and just concentrated on accompanying the primary school sister.
Although Liu Ningqing didn't know that a well-known artist had taken a fancy to her works.
But in the face of this city-level art exhibition, Liu Ningqing was also very nervous, after all, this time was different from the small fights in the school.
At that time, there will be many powerful and powerful seniors, and even some particularly famous seniors in some industries will come.
Of course, for Liu Ningqing, there are many, many rewards, and the bonuses are hundreds of thousands this time!
Liu Ningqing doesn't like money, but everything that can help someone she likes is inseparable from money.
And she knows better than anyone how hard it is to live without money.
She knows that she can only eat one steamed bun when she is hungry all day long, and can only drink well water when she is thirsty, and even if she is too poor to afford shampoo, she can only wash her hair with washing powder, and her hair almost burns out...
So, she doesn't like money, but she also needs money more than anyone else.
Because of the money, grandparents don’t have to be reluctant to eat meat during the Chinese New Year, and they don’t dare to go to the hospital when they are sick.
Xiao Wu doesn't have to worry about tuition fees, and he doesn't have to wear old clothes that have been sewn and mended.
My own father doesn't have to dare to go home for three full years because of guilt.
The most important thing is... I can finally help him, even if this little money is still nothing to him.
But at least, I can finally help him a little bit.
Secretly save a small treasury for him, and if you get married... spend your own money and let him marry you.
……
In the expectation and apprehension of the primary school sister, at the end of May, the art exhibition in Binhai City was finally held as scheduled.
This time it was held in an art gallery in the city center, and people from all walks of life came.
There are tens of thousands of people bustling and bustling, and the art gallery is crowded with people.
The paintings have been prepared in advance by high-level representatives of Binhai University.
Although she had been looking forward to this day, Liu Ning got up early this morning and walked around the room nervously.
"There is no need to be so nervous, believe in your own strength."
Xu Zhimu also went over and smiled.
"But... I heard that many famous painters have come..."
Liu Ningqing clenched her small hands. It used to be competitions between schools. This was the first time that she competed with people from all walks of life on the same stage.
"There is no high or low in art. Works with heart will always impress those who really understand you. That's enough. You are my lady boss. Can you have some confidence?"
Xu Zhimu smiled and rubbed her head.
Liu Ningqing also had more confidence in her eyes, she jumped slightly and kissed him.
You are my greatest strength.
After driving to the school, An Xiaomi, Bai Yaya, and Wang Ningning also took a taxi and drove there together.
"Come on Qingqing! We will win today!"
"Hee hee, of course Qingqing is fine, let's just wait and applaud."
A few girls acted as the atmosphere group, which finally calmed down Liu Ningqing's nervous heart.
All the way to the door of the art gallery.
The art museum is decorated in a very high-end atmosphere, and many people come and go, even wearing formal dresses.
There is really a feeling of ancient commoners meeting nobles. I can only say that art is a thing... most of the time it is indeed exclusive to the rich.
Liu Ningqing was wearing the white dress Mother Xu gave her today.
It's not intentional to dress up so beautifully, but I want to accept the honor that may appear together with Xu's mother's heart.
However, she was still a little nervous.
Xu Zhimu went up to hold her little hand, and the warm temperature made Liu Ningqing feel a little relieved.
"Let's go."
Xu Zhimu said softly, Liu Ningqing also nodded, and followed his steps into the art gallery.
All contestants have their own identity badges and special places for rest.
The primary school sister came here on behalf of Binhai University, and her position is quite high.
"The exclusive seat of Master Liu!"
The girls saw Liu Ningqing's name written on the nameplate on the seat, and they all laughed and coaxed.
Liu Ningqing's pretty face flushed slightly, and she looked up at Xu Zhimu who was smiling all over her face.
"This is proof of your hard work, go, we will always cheer you on here."
Xu Zhimu pinched her pink cheeks and said softly.
Liu Ningqing looked at him deeply, and finally looked at the seat with her name written on it.
Being able to have a place here is actually quite remarkable for college students.
Liu Ningqing also secretly cheered herself up.
"Sister Ningqing, come on!"
"Qingqing, we will always be your solid harem group!"
Wang Ningning and the others took the lead in booing. Liu Ningqing blushed when she heard it, looked up at Xu Zhimu, and finally went to her seat and sat down.
Several people also went to the auditorium and found seats to sit in a row.
Xiaomi on the left, Yaya on the right, and Xu Zhimu in the middle, two young girls, one is youthful and lively, the other is cute and cute.
Many people couldn't help casting their gazes over, looking at Xu Zhimu with envious eyes.
But Xu Zhimu has long been used to it, looking at the guest seats, the elementary school girl who is a little restless at the moment.
Still nervous.
Only when Liu Ningqing also turned her gaze to see Xu Zhimu, would she be slightly relieved.
As people entered the arena, the guests also entered the arena one after another.
Xu Zhimu went to the backstage first. Ye Luojia didn't come today, but asked the female secretary to come.
Along the way, he received the painter recommended by Mr. Qin.
This is the second time Xu Zhimu saw himself.
It was a middle-aged woman in her 50s with gorgeous hair, but her clothes were very dignified.
There is a sense of sight of a lady with cultural connotations in old Shanghai.
This painter is called Man Jianghong.
He is also well-known in the painting world, and the highest price of a painting of his works has been auctioned for 5000 million.
You must know that the verb of artwork is often only valuable after the death of the painter.
If such a sky-high price can be auctioned during his lifetime, it proves that he has really reached the pinnacle of an industry.
"Hello, Mr. Man."
Xu Zhimu called out his honorific title and bowed to say hello.
"Xu Zhimu, right? I often hear Qin Lin mentioning you. You really are a good-looking talent."
Man Jianghong also nodded with a smile. Although she is over 50 years old, her calm and dignified words make people feel very close, but at the same time feel separated by a layer of distance.
This is not a temperament that can be cultivated simply by being rich.
"Mr. Man's reputation is too high."
Xu Zhimu smiled and chatted with her.
In fact, Xu Zhimu originally wanted to let this big man come to Binhai from Kyoto just to see the paintings of the primary school sister.
Will such a move make this big man think in his heart, but she didn't expect that she would know that Liu Ningqing was preparing a new painting for the exhibition.
She even offered to not disturb Liu Ningqing's painting, so as not to spoil her mood, but came here as a judge of the art exhibition.
This saved Xu Zhimu a lot of tongue, and he secretly admired it in his heart.
After all, Mr. Man and Mr. Qin are old seniors who are both virtuous and artistic in the literary and art circles of Kyoto.
With the current grades and seniority, those who usually want to visit the door almost broke the threshold.
Not to mention traveling so far to see a young man painting.
Xu Zhimu admires this persistence in art.
……
The guests have basically arrived.
"Dear guests, especially the leader..."
After the opening speech of the national unity, the exhibition conference officially started.
On the stage, the judges also appeared one by one. When Man Jianghong appeared, the host specially introduced her.
Many people in the audience were suddenly in an uproar.
"Is that the painter Man Jianghong from Kyoto?"
"It seems to be true. This is a master-level figure worth 5000 million yuan. This painting exhibition is so big!"
Liu Ningqing listened in a daze. In fact, she didn't know some famous writers, but she only had some impression of the name Man Jianghong.
Her oil paintings often depict mountainous rural subjects, so she also found some painters who are good at rural subjects, and sometimes copied some.
Among them are a few paintings, the artist's name is Man Jianghong.
And there is another great thing.
5000 million!
A painting is worth 5000 million. Liu Ningqing looked at the middle-aged woman with a good temperament, and she also had the feeling of meeting an idol in her eyes.
And Man Jianghong also glanced at the audience, and when she saw Liu Ningqing, her eyes lit up slightly.
I didn't expect that the person who can draw such a simple and strong rural flavor is such a beautiful little girl.
……
This time, the professional judges and the audience vote together.
Of course, the votes of professional judges must be more important.
One by one, the paintings were lifted off the canvas, revealing their true colors.
Those who can come to participate today are all the best painters.
And those who can be selected to go on stage are the best among them.
The paintings are shown one by one, and there are countless materials, the most are landscapes, and there are some portraits of celebrities...
Liu Ningqing has been watching nervously, afraid that her own will not be selected, or the votes will be too low.
"The next work, represented by Binhai University, is the work of Ms. Liu Ningqing, "Busy Farmer"!"
Following the host's speech, a painting was pushed up and the curtain was lifted.
"It's a clear painting!"
Under the stage, several girls watched excitedly.
Liu Ningqing watched her work being placed on the exhibition stand to meet everyone's gaze, and her heart was also beating restlessly.
The content of the painting also stands out among the colorful paintings.
Because her paintings all use the earthy yellow as the main color.
The main characters appearing in the picture are a pair of farmers feeding each other to wipe sweat in the mountains.
The prototype of these two old people is the grandma and grandpa of the primary school sister. The wrinkles on the faces are clearly visible, and even the sweat drops are vivid in the hot season.
The old man's place is a green corn field, and a pair of young people are cuddling in the field.
It formed overlapping shadows with the two old men in front, as if time and space alternated.
And the prototype of this pair of young people...
"Tsk tsk, isn't this the scene when we went to Qingqing's hometown last year?"
"The ones behind are Boss Xu and Qingqing, I know you two did nothing good in the cornfield!"
Wang Ningning coaxed.
Xu Zhimu said with a smile: "Didn't you and Chen Wei also leave in the cornfield for a long time?"
Wang Ningning stopped talking immediately, blushing a little guilty.
And this painting also caused some discussions among the crowd.
There are likes and dislikes.
It's an exaggeration to say that there are still such poor places in China, and it's unhygienic to drink directly from the dirt in the hands of two old people...
But the appearance of this work, amidst all the flowers and greenery, is indeed like a clear stream.
Looking at the painting, Man Jianghong felt more and more satisfied, and felt that she had seen the right person.
This kind of painting skill is not top-notch, but this kind of meticulous observation, if you don't have personal experience, you will never understand these details.
Only from the lowest level of hardship can one understand how realistic this painting is.
In the expert seats, there was a lot of discussion about this work, but it was the first time that Man Jianghong directly voted for a full score.
Some experts who were hesitating also voted.
Finally, all the paintings are displayed one by one.
The moderator got the final data.
Liu Ningqing held her hand nervously, watched and listened to the host's announcement.
"The overall No.1 winner of this exhibition is the work "The Most Beautiful Coast"..."
There was a burst of applause, but mixed with some boos.
"Tch... It really is like this again, the winner is always the default..."
"This painting is completely drawn according to the intention of the mayor of Binhai City. It is outrageous. It is similar to the last composition competition, "My City×Father".
Waiting for the announcement of No.2, this is a landscape painting, and the winner is also a well-known painter in Binhai, so there is not much controversy.
"The following will announce No.3, the work "Busy Farmer". Congratulations to Ms. Liu Ningqing!"
The host's voice was loud, after saying the name of the award-winning work and Liu Ningqing.
Wang Ningning and the girls took the lead in cheering.
Liu Ningqing also listened in a daze, and finally realized after being stunned for a long time, and slowly climbed to the center of the booth.
At this moment, under the spotlight, with the eyes of thousands of people watching, Liu Ningqing in a white dress is like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world.
Such a girl should have painted some delicate flowers, or painted a fascinating fairy tale world.
But the paintings around her are more realistic than most people, even more difficult.
Portraits of two old men covered in wrinkles and shabby clothes, and a beautiful and dreamy girl in a long white dress stood side by side.
Strong visual contrast, just like in the painting.
The dry, dull, khaki land gave birth to green mountains and plains, and abundant grain...
What is ugly and what is beautiful.
Soil and flowers, dedication and growth, are like the alternation of time, allowing people to glimpse the artistic conception they want to express.
Many people still feel that this ranking is a bit low.
But Liu Ningqing is already very satisfied, because even No.3 will have a cash reward of 20.
Man Jianghong presented the award in person. Looking at Liu Ningqing from a close distance, she was even more surprised. She could see the tenacious and stubborn look in the girl's eyes, which belonged to someone who had suffered.
Such a beautiful girl has endured so much hardship, but it is precisely these hardships that can achieve such profoundly meaningful paintings.
"Liu Ningqing, congratulations, thank you for bringing such an excellent work, I would like to chat with you if I have time in private, do you have time?"
Man Jianghong said it directly, although she smiled and appreciated the kindness.
But for Liu Ningqing, it was like meeting an idol, she was even happier than winning the 20 yuan.
But at the same time, she was also very nervous. She hesitated and couldn't speak, and subconsciously glanced at the crowd.
It happened to meet Xu Zhimu's encouraging smile.
Immediately, her heart settled down, she took a deep breath, nodded heavily: "Thank... thank you."
"You're welcome. You can go to the backstage to find me in a while. I'll wait for you in the lounge."
Man Jianghong looked at the girl in front of her, and liked it more and more, she nodded with a smile.
……
The awards ceremony is over.
Liu Ningqing was sitting on the seat, her head was still a little dizzy, and she was a little excited when she thought about meeting him in a while.
In the seat next to the primary school girl, sat a man with braids who looked like an artist.
He has been paying attention since he entered the arena and saw the girl next to his seat.
Looking at the girl's face, he suddenly felt astonished, and suddenly turned his mind and said.
"Hello, my name is Ji Dongyang. I work in the Binhai Literature and Art News Center. I haven't seen you before. Is this the first time?"
As soon as the man opened his mouth, he revealed his leadership title.
This is not the first time for him to participate in an art exhibition, and he often meets representatives of female college students who pursue art.
Of course, most of the road of art has been integrated with resources, and it is difficult to walk alone without connections.
So he can often fool some female college students who are "underappreciated" and chase their dreams.
Liu Ningqing heard the sound, but subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the sound source.
But seeing the girl in front of him, the man's saliva almost dripped down.
This girl is definitely the most beautiful he has ever seen!Compared with her, those female college students in the past are like heaven and earth!
The attentive look in his eyes looked even worse.
But Liu Ningqing just glanced at him, then turned her head again, and continued to watch the drawing boards covered with canvas being carried up to the booth.
She was a little nervous to see if her paintings were among them, but unfortunately they were all covered with cloth, so she couldn't see them at all.
And the man at the side felt that he had been ignored directly, so he looked at the identity card of the girl in front of him again.
The representative of Binhai University, he immediately extended his hand: "Student, let's get to know each other. I am the editor-in-chief of Binhai Literature and Art News. It's a pleasure to meet you."
The man looked at the other party's small white hands like jade, and his heart suddenly became overwhelmed. He took out a business card and stretched out his hand to shake hands with her.
But Liu Ningqing glanced at him and just said "oh".
He ignored him at all and turned his head away again.
I also moved the stool a little further away from him.
man:……
He still wanted to say something, but suddenly a hand stretched out and held his hand together.
It's just that these hands are not as tactile as imagined, but rather rough.
He froze for a moment, looked up, and found a handsome face looking at him with a smile on his face.
The hand that the two held together was also suddenly squeezed by him forcefully.
"Fortunately, fortunately."
Xu Zhimu said something with a smile, but the man felt as if his hand was clamped by pliers, grinning in pain and still not easy to let go, but it was not easy to show it in front of the beautiful woman.
He could only speak in a bad tone: "Who are you, do I know you?"
Xu Zhimu looked at him, and finally gave a mild smile.
Looking at the little girl who was a little anxious at the moment, he directly raised the chin of the little girl, and then, under the gaze of many people, directly kissed her on the pink cheek.
Liu Ningqing was dumbfounded, but her pretty face was soon dyed red by Hongxia.
"Is there anything else you want to ask now?"
Xu Zhimu declared his sovereignty in front of everyone.
The man's face was ashen, and many people around him were pointing at him. He glared at Xu Zhimu angrily, and left quickly with his head down.
Xu Zhimu smiled and took the hand of the primary school sister, and patted her on the head: "Let's go, our great painter Liu."
"I, I have to meet someone..."
Liu Ningqing calmed down a bit, her eyes sparkled.
"Huh? Who are you going to meet? I feel more excited than meeting me?"
Xu Zhimu asked the question knowingly, and even felt a little jealous.
Seeing his expression, Liu Ningqing felt sweet and greasy in her heart. She blushed and said, "Yes, it's the senior who presented me the award just now. She said...wanted to chat with me..."
"What do I want to talk to you about? Could it be that I have taken a fancy to you and want to treat you as my daughter-in-law?"
Xu Zhimu deliberately made fun of her with a straight face.
"No way!"
Liu Ningqing also puckered her lips and hammered him, then tapped her toes slightly, and whispered in Xu Zhimu's ear: "I will only recognize one mother-in-law in my life..."
"Who is it?"
Xu Zhimu couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
"Your mother..."
Liu Ningqing's shy voice was like that of a mosquito.
Xu Zhimu looked at the girl in front of him that he liked so much that he would chase her after a lifetime, he couldn't help lowering his head, and kissed her under the eyes of everyone.
"After that, she will be your mother."
Xu Zhimu whispered in her ear, gentle and affectionate.
"Qingqing, you looked so beautiful on the stage just now. I saved the photo. When I get home, my mother will be very happy and proud when she sees you wearing the dress she bought for you and standing on the stage with thousands of people. of."
Xu Zhimu said every word, all of which flowed in her heart like honey.
Liu Ningqing couldn't help standing on her tiptoes again, and kissed him deeply regardless of the gazes around her.
"Let's go, if you spread dog food again, we might not be able to go out today."
Xu Zhimu smiled and took her little hand, and started to walk backstage.
Wang Ningning and the young girls have resentful expressions on their faces, thinking about it, you also know that you are throwing too much dog food!
Liu Ningqing lowered her head in shame and walked all the way to the backstage lounge.
Standing at the door, Xu Zhimu looked at the nervous little girl and said, "Qingqing, since senior is willing to see you, you should behave well and go."
Liu Ningqing stood at the door and hesitated for a long time.
She knew that on this road, if she could meet a famous teacher, she would not be too far away from her dream.
Then I can finally help him in the days to come.
She took a deep breath, looked at Xu Zhimu's smiling eyes, clenched her little fists, and opened the door.
The two chatted for a long, long time.
Xu Zhimu waited all the time, and at noon the primary school sister came out of the room with bright eyes.
She excitedly told Xu Zhimu that the other party wanted to accept her as an apprentice, and she was the only one at that.
This is a good thing, Xu Zhimu naturally asked the primary school sister to agree.
After that, Xu Zhimu and the primary school sister accompanied Man Jianghong to the plane.
The two stood on the way back and looked at the occasional planes in the sky.
The hearts of two people, like an airplane, shuttle freely between the clouds.
June.
School is about to go on holiday.
Xu Zhimu took his primary school sister, An Xiaomi, and Bai Yaya back to Zhengcheng.
When we got home, we ate happily together.
Xu's mother also found out about Liu Ningqing's winning the grand prize, and even took the photo of Liu Ningqing in a white dress to a photo shop to develop a photo and hung it at home.
Love it every time I watch it.
After staying at home for a few days, Xu Zhimu took his primary school sister back to his hometown.
When the elementary school sister took out the 20 cash she earned in one breath, it was a thick stack.
The second elder also burst into tears with relief, hid the cash in the cabinet, and kept watch in the middle of the night, for fear that it would be lost or stolen.
It was the next day that he went to the bank to deposit it again, and the elder was finally relieved.
Xu Zhimu was not bored at the primary school sister's house, but the time agreed with An Xiaomi was getting closer and closer.
Xu Zhimu wanted to find an excuse to go back first.
morning of the day.
Xu Zhimu and the elementary school sister went to a platform on the mountain. The elementary school sister has been walking and observing in the mountains every day recently.
The wheat is ripe in June, and Xu Zhimu has been doing farm work every day recently.
At this time, machines were not widely used, especially in mountain villages, where one acre of land was cut by hand with a scythe.
There is even the profession of "Maike" here.
Of course, Xu Zhimu had nothing to do with his idle time, and it was all about his fitness. Later, all these lands were contracted out, and only one piece of land was left, so that the old man could think about it.
Farm work is very tiring, and there are some wild boars and other animals in the mountains, which are likely to come out to steal wheat at night.
Someone needs to watch the night here, hollowing out a space in the straw stack, like a simple small house, blocked by plastic sheeting, but it is quite secretive.
It feels a bit like a secret base when I was a child.
It was getting dark, and the primary school sister came to deliver the meal.
In such a small space, it seemed extraordinarily warm.
"You want to be here alone today..."
Liu Ningqing also stayed overnight before, and sometimes it was quite scary to meet those things.
"Isn't there still rhubarb outside?"
Xu Zhimu pointed to Rhubarb who was dozing on the haystack outside, and Rhubarb would be the first to know if there was a slight disturbance at night.
"Then will it be cold for you to be here alone?"
Liu Ningqing blinked slightly, and asked again.
This weather, it's definitely not cold, it's even a little stuffy.
But Xu Zhimu swallowed his saliva when he saw the slight blush on the primary school sister's face.
"Qingqing, I suddenly feel that the night is really scary, and the list is too thin, or...you will watch the night with me tonight?"
Liu Ningqing's pretty face was rosy, looking at Xu Zhimu's tanned skin in recent days because of harvesting wheat, she also felt a burst of heartache.
Finally nodded slightly.
Although it's not good to do that kind of thing too much... But what should be rewarded... I still have to give him a little bit.
Xu Zhimu chuckled, and finished his meal in a stormy mood.
At night, the stars are falling, and the sounds of crickets can still be heard in the fields.
At this moment, the stack of wheat straw on the ground shook twice from time to time, and one or two straws fell off.
At night, small animals such as sparrows will come to steal the wheat ears.
Rhubarb froze his ears for a moment, running back and forth across the field to disperse the uninvited guests.
Finally, I went back to the side of the straw stack, and after lying down for a while, I went to chase away the returning birds.
"Wang Wang Wang..."
Rhubarb kept running in the middle of the night.
For this family, it has paid too much.
Here we go, two in one today.
This chapter is actually an account of the future development of the primary school sister, and it also paves the way for a reasonable trip with An Xiaomi in the next chapter. I have tried to be as brief as possible.
Thanks for your support, let's continue tomorrow!
