One big and one small are practicing love

Zuo Kunmin drove his three children to the studio.

On the way, they laughed and made noise in the back seat of the car, Zuo Kunmin listening to the news on the radio. But Zuo Xu and Zuo Yan often call "Dad", sometimes ask questions, sometimes gossip, and sometimes they just call "Dad" without saying anything else.

"Dad, when Teacher Xiaoxiao sent us off, he never listened to the radio. He only chatted with us." When Zuo Xu spoke, his tone was a bit complaining.

After hearing this, Zuo Kunmin realized that it was really not good to spend time with his children like this. So I turned off the radio, tried to be patient, listened to the children, answered their questions, and answered every time they called 'Daddy'.

After a while, Zuo Kunmin became a little restless.

Most of the questions they asked were boring. Zuo Kunmin didn't want to answer them and didn't know how to answer them, so he could only deal with them perfunctorily. They laughed endlessly and called "Dad" so many times that it made Zuo Kunmin feel dizzy. He just wanted to go to the studio and relax for a while.

After realizing that he had such thoughts, Zuo Kunmin began to doubt himself. I obviously want to spend time with my children, but I also know that I need to be patient with them. Why do I feel uncontrollably irritated and want to escape when I actually do it?

Love them, but can't love them, why? How did Xiaoxiao do it?

More than half an hour later, we finally arrived at the studio.

Teacher Han took the initiative to extend his hand to say hello and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Zuo, I didn't expect you to come to see the children off. Xiaoxiao called me last night and said it was Muzi's mother."

"Hello, Teacher Han." Zuo Kunmin said hello politely, and then said: "I didn't work this morning, and the children will go to the UK next month. I came to say goodbye to you and check on the children's study situation. .”

……

After seven or eight polite chats, Teacher Han wanted to teach the children. Zuo Kunmin didn't know what he should do, so he asked: "The children are in class, what should I do?"

Teacher Han was taking Zuo Xu’s sketch homework and revising it. After hearing this, he stopped, looked at Zuo Kunmin and said, "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. Have you brought the notebook that Xiaoxiao uses every time?"

"Here I am." Zuo Xu said, taking out a thick book with a leather card cover from his schoolbag and handing it to Teacher Han.

While flipping through the notebook, Teacher Han said, "This note is written in small letters every time. She called me last night and asked me to help write it."

"Can't the children write it themselves?" Zuo Kunmin asked.

"It's okay. The class only lasts for two or three hours. Xiaoxiao is worried that the children will not learn completely. Also, Xiaoxiao has a strong understanding, is careful and conscientious, and remembers all the notes." Teacher Han said, turning to a blank page, Lower your head and use a sharp pencil to write the date.

"Painting is art, shouldn't you do whatever you want? Is it necessary to take such detailed notes?" Zuo Kunmin asked.

"Any artistic expression, although the most important thing is intuition, inspiration, and talent, is inseparable from technology, experience, and knowledge. Only by integrating the latter can the former be presented well, otherwise everything is empty talk."

As he said that, Teacher Han looked at Li Muzi and said, "Although Muzi is by my side, I still want to say this. The three of them studied together with me, and each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses, but over the past few years, Yanyan and Xiao There has been substantial progress at every stage, and Muzi is already far behind them."

Zuo Kunmin stopped talking and watched silently as Teacher Han revised and guided the children.

Teacher Han talks about rigorous and solid details. Techniques for handling the characters' hair in different directions; modifying the direction of the folds of clothes, and drawing the corresponding bones and joints under the folds; what type of pencil should be used to depict the facial features, and use different pencils to draw the same mouth, so that they can really see it for themselves To, the impact of tool selection on the picture...

Observing the children again, Zuo Xu and Zuo Yan had focused eyes and were proficient in using techniques when drawing. They quickly understood and corrected the requirements stated by Teacher Han. However, Li Muzi was a little scattered and the picture was messy. Teacher Han repeatedly helped him revise and persuade him, but made little progress.

After actually hearing and seeing it, Zuo Kunmin suddenly realized.

I truly agreed with Teacher Han’s words and Liu Xiaochen’s actions. Art has its rigorous, profound, and subtle aspects, and it is difficult for young children to master these by themselves. They really need the help of more wise and patient adults.

Thinking about it, Zuo Kunmin's cell phone rang, it was Chen Qingyan.

"Sorry, I'm going out for a while." Zuo Kunmin said, quickly leaving the quiet studio.

After picking up the phone, Chen Qingyan's cheerful voice came from the other side, saying: "The time has probably been set. There are still two officials whose time needs to be adjusted tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow."

Zuo Kunmin smiled and said: "Then I will contact the British ck company immediately and meet with their decision-makers as soon as possible to confirm the participants."

"By the way, why didn't you come to the company this morning?"

"There's nothing particularly important, so I didn't want to go. I'm spending time with the children. I'm taking them to a painting class now."

"Let me tell you, some time ago, you stayed up late and worked overtime so hard. I heard from the human resources director that you had to take three days off. I thought you were in big trouble, but it turned out that you were spending time with the children." Chen Qingyan said with a tone of voice. Turning around, he said softly: "You are such a good dad."

When I heard the words 'good dad', I suddenly thought of Wen Xiaorou's words in the morning. There was such a huge difference in their evaluations. Most people do not understand the reality and habitually make rash judgments based on their personal likes and dislikes and limited experience.

People can only face their own hearts honestly.

"It's nothing. I'll hang up now. The British side needs to settle it as soon as possible."

"Okay, you go first."

After hanging up the phone, Zuo Kunmin made three or four calls in succession and confirmed that he would meet with British policymakers tonight to discuss meeting with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After finishing all this, I looked at the time and saw that half an hour had passed. Zuo Kunmin was standing in the corridor outside the studio when he heard a buzzing sound. He looked up and saw a large passenger plane flying in the sky.

Looking at the plane, I made a sudden decision in my heart. Let’s negotiate with the British side tonight about the meeting and determine the time to meet with the diplomats. Just go find Liu Xiaochen, even if they can only get along for a few hours.

Yesterday afternoon's meeting was moved to this afternoon, and a meeting with the British ck company was temporarily added. In order to rush for time, Zuo Kunmin was in meetings from 1:8 in the afternoon until [-] o'clock in the evening, and he didn't even bother to eat.

At 8:[-], while having a meeting with the British ck company, Liu Xiaochen called. The conversation has entered a critical part. After a moment of hesitation, he picks up the conversation. If you can't talk for a long time, at least you can answer it first.

"I'm in a meeting right now. I'll call you when it's over. You need to rest first."

Although she only said a few words, she could still hear her loss and exhaustion.

After ten minutes, the meeting ended. As soon as Zuo Kunmin came out of the conference room, he called Liu Xiaochen. Unexpectedly, she hung up the phone. When I called again, it was already shut down. I called twice more and it was still shut down.

We can no longer wait and speculate. At this moment, Zuo Kun ignored his tiredness and work and just wanted to resolve their conflicts and longings as soon as possible.

Call Master Zhao.

"Master Zhao, wait for me in the parking lot. We are going on a long trip tonight." After Zuo Kunmin finished speaking, he returned to the office, picked up his windbreaker, and was about to go out.

As soon as he went out, he saw Chen Qingyan.

"I see you didn't eat tonight, shall we have dinner together?"

"Let's go some other time. I have something urgent to do tonight."

Chen Qingyan said nervously: "Is it about the children? Do you need my help?"

Zuo Kunmin hesitated, nodded lightly, and said, "Thank you, no."

"Then go get busy." Chen Qingyan said and stepped out of the way.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Kunmin strode away.
