I really don't want to be a teacher

"No." It seemed that he had already made a decision to wait for the painting to be finished. Although the man still raised his wrist to look at the time, the anxious expression on his face eased a little.

"Appointed to meet with a client and rushed to see him."

"It's already noon, don't you go after dinner?"

Lian Ge changed his pen, dipped in ink, and asked aloud at the same time,

"Brother, didn't you go to eat, and look at these stall owners, aren't you still guarding the stall?"

The man responded with a smile, and then, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he shook his head,

"I can wait, the customer can wait, miss this order...the family is counting on me to live, how can I not be in a hurry,"

"Then brother, you still stop to buy this painting?"

Lian Ge's strokes fell on the drawing paper, and he smiled slightly,

"Can I ask, brother, where do you plan to hang this painting?"

Hearing this, the man fell silent, followed closely, and shook his head again,

"...Some time ago, my daughter fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. The ward was on the [-]th floor, and when I looked out from the window, I could only see other high-rise buildings far away.

She has been in that ward for more than a month. When I went to see her yesterday, she told me that she wanted to go out instead of staying in the ward. She wanted to go to the park to see butterflies, flowers and plants... But her body With vital signs monitoring equipment attached, she couldn't even get out of the ward...

She just looked at me, looked at me...but I couldn't do anything...I couldn't even say the words to reject her, I..."

The man said, fell silent again,

"So brother, you plan to hang the painting in the ward?"

"I just want to buy a painting, buy some other things, and decorate her ward to make her at least a little happier." The man nodded,

Hearing this, the movements of Lian Ge's pen stopped for a while,

Putting down the brush stained with ink, Lian Ge picked up the vermilion brush stained with red ink to add some other colors to the painting,

……

"...Little brother, how long will it take? I'm afraid it's too late."

Silence, after a moment of trance, the man raised his wrist again, looked at the time, and couldn't help asking,

"okay."

Lian Ge smiled, put down the pen in his hand, looked at the man in front of the booth and said,

"Look and see how it goes,"

As Lian Ge said, he turned the frame around and faced the man in front of the booth.

Hearing the sound, the man couldn't help lowering his head, looking towards the painting,

Immediately afterwards, the man froze,

I see, draw on,

Occupying the largest number of frames are the continuous mountains, which are outlined with ink and painted layer by layer, highlighting the thickness of the mountains,

The mountains are towering and continuous, extending from near to far, splitting the whole picture into two parts,

In the upper part of the painting, behind the mountains and above the sky, dark clouds are lingering, the wind is howling, and the torrential rain is hitting the back of the mountain, as if it wants to destroy the mountain.

In the lower part of the painting, in the corner, the dark clouds and showers seem to be isolated by the mountains. Above the sky, after the rain, the clouds have been dispelled, and a ray of sunlight is swaying down from the clouds.

That ray of sunlight just reflected in the corner, at the foot of the mountain, on a flower that was closest to it,

The flower seems to be swaying gently with the breeze, and a butterfly is resting on the flower, and that flower, and the butterfly, are also the only colored parts in the whole painting.

……

The man's line of sight was caught by the continuous mountain at the first glance. Looking at the mountain, he seemed to have an inexplicable feeling.

It feels like the mountain is very tired, but it still stands there firmly,

Immediately afterwards, the man saw the flower, and he understood why the mountain was so tired and did not dare to fall down.

Because he was afraid that when he fell down, he would hit the flower, and he was afraid that after he fell down, the storm on the other side of the mountain would blow into the valley and overwhelm the flower.

"...Brother, what is the name of this painting?"

Looking at the painting, the man couldn't help asking,

"That depends on what you're looking at."

Lian Ge smiled,

"If what you see is the mountain, then this painting should be called Responsibility. If what you see is the flower, and the clouds and light in the sky, then this painting should be called Rain After Rain."

Glancing at the man, Lian Ge said with a smile, sat down behind the long table again,

"Responsibility...after the rain..."

The man listened to Lian Ge's words, looked at the mountains, clouds, sunshine, and the flower in the painting, muttered to himself, and couldn't help feeling a little lost.

Chapter 261 This Mountain Is...

"how much is it?"

After a moment of ecstasy, the man raised his head again, looked at Lian Ge and asked,

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the man, paused, then smiled slightly,

"As much as you have in your left trouser pocket."

"This……"

Hearing the sound, the man held the briefcase in his hand and fumbled in the left trouser pocket,

"It's only two yuan, look at this..."

The man turned out his trouser pocket, and there were only two one-yuan bills inside.

"Why don't you tell me how much it is, and I'll send it to you on WeChat."

Holding the wrinkled change, the man looked up at Lian Ge and said,

"enough."

Lian Ge smiled, stretched out his hand and handed the roll of drawing paper spread on the long table to the man,

"Then this..."

The man looked at Lian Ge, hesitated, took the painting, and handed the change to Lian Ge at the same time,

Glancing at the man, Lian Ge took the money and put it aside,

"thanks……"

Holding the scroll in one hand and the briefcase in the other, the man thanked Lian Ge again,

"You should go, otherwise it will be too late." Lian Ge looked at the man and said calmly,

"Then... I will take my leave first."

Hearing the sound, the man raised his wrist to look at the time, said goodbye eagerly, then turned and walked away quickly.

……

Seeing the man disappear from sight, Lian Ge turned his eyes back, and then looked at the two change notes on the table,

Smiling slightly, looking back, Lian Ge was the same as before, quietly watching the bustling people passing by, pedestrians, tourists,

"... Mom, Dad, look, the painter..."

A family of parents and children walked past Liange's booth. The father walked on the left side of the child, and the mother walked on the right side of the child, holding the child's hand.

The child pulled his mother in surprise, looked at the booth in front of Lian Ge, and stopped.

Hearing the sound, the child's parents also stopped, looked at each other, smiled,

"That's right, painter, does Xiaoqun want to go and have a look?" Knelt down, the child's mother looked at the child and asked,

"Think!" The child nodded, nodding crisply, and answered,

Smiling, the child's mother stood up, and together with the child's father, took the child and walked towards Lian Ge's booth.

……

"...Brother, are you selling paintings? Why..."

The child's father looked at the booth, looked at the blank drawing paper on the long table without any ink stains, and couldn't help asking,

"Whatever you want, you can draw it now."

Lian Ge stood up, looked at the family in front of the booth, and replied with a smile,

"Can you draw a picture for us?" the child's father looked back at Lian Ge and asked,

"Of course, I want to draw something."

"Can you draw a picture of our family?" The child's mother looked at Lian Ge and said aloud, "Finally, we can draw our family on the picture."

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the family and shook his head,

"Sorry, I'm not good at drawing portraits."

"Then..." the child's mother looked back at her child, hesitated for a while, and said, "Then draw whatever you want."

"Can I take a look?" The child put his feet up and looked at the long table that was about the same height as him, with expectations in his eyes, he asked aloud.

Upon hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the child's mother, then at the child standing on tiptoe, smiled slightly, and took a step towards the long table.

Seeing this, the child's mother smiled, touched her child's head,

"Go."

Hearing his mother's words, the child walked around the long table with some joy, walked behind the long table, tiptoed, looked at the drawing paper on the table,

Looking at the family again, Lian Ge picked up the writing brush placed on the side, dipped it in ink,

"Is your family out for a trip?"

Holding a pen and looking at the drawing paper, Lian Ge asked aloud,

"Yeah, isn't it just that the child is on vacation, thinking that we have been busy with work on weekdays, and the child is taken by his grandma, and I haven't spent much time with him. I just thought that I would take the child while I was free. Come out and have fun with the whole family." The child's mother smiled and replied,

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, and didn't say anything more. The brush in his hand dropped onto the page with ink.

……

In front of the booth, the couple leaned against each other, with smiles in their eyes, looking at their child,

And the child was stepping on his feet, looking curiously at the changing pictures on the table and the paper with the strokes of the brush.

And while Lian Ge was painting this picture for the family,

On the side, in front of the spring roll stall, the woman eating spring rolls also gradually stopped moving.

"Okay... that's enough, I won't eat. Recently, my appetite has always been a little bad, and I always feel a little sick when I eat too much."

The woman took another spring roll handed over by the stall owner, waved her hand and said,

"That's right, no matter how delicious this food is, it has to be eaten in moderation..." The spring roll stall owner paused when he heard this, raised his head and said with a smile,

"How much..." The woman nodded and asked aloud,

"Exactly 30 yuan..."

After paying the bill, the woman turned her head, stood by the side of the road, turned her head and looked around,

Silently, after pausing on the spot, her eyes stopped in front of Liange's booth next to her,

Seeing the snuggling, happy and smiling couple, and the curious child, the woman's vision was a little dazed, a little dazed,

For a long time, there was a smile on his face, and then the smile gradually disappeared, and he fell silent again.

Looking at the happy family, the woman moved away and walked towards Lian Ge's booth.

……

Meanwhile, in front of the stalls, on the bustling streets,

An old man who was looking around while walking also passed by Lian Ge's booth. He noticed the people around the booth, and the old man stopped in his tracks.
