The Romance of a Young Painter

The appearance of Shen Guangqing was like a tropical storm, bringing a shower of rain and then disappearing without a trace.Zhou Nianjiu was a little curious about what Shen Guangji said to her that could change her attitude so much, so he asked Shen Guangji privately when Meng Meng was away.

Shen Guangji said: "I didn't say anything. In fact, my sister usually doesn't give anyone face, but she can't do anything to two people, one is son Meng Xing, and the other is daughter Meng Meng. You are both Meng Xing's classmate and She's Meng Meng's friend, so naturally my sister won't say much."

Zhou Nianjiu had a hunch that it wouldn't be that simple, but Shen Guangji didn't ask if he didn't say anything, but the other party's words reminded him of Meng Xing, so he asked, "Has Meng Xing returned to China?"

Shen Guangji said: "Not yet. Why, want to know his recent situation?"

Zhou Nianjiu said, "No, just ask casually."

Shen Guangji smiled and said: "As far as I know, Meng Xing is doing well abroad. By the way, how is your mother's old house going? Any news?"

Zhou Nianjiu shook his head and said, "No. Many places over there have been demolished, and the administrative area has been changed several times. It's really difficult to find out where a person who moved away more than [-] years ago lived."

Shen Guangji said: "I heard you said that it is near Xishan, right?"

Zhou Nianjiu said: "Yes, my mother said that when I was a child, I could see red leaves all over the mountain from the yard, but what she talked about most was winter, and the Xishan Mountain after the snowstorm was her favorite."

Shen Guangji said: "That's why you painted so many snow scenes of the Western Mountains, isn't it?"

Zhou Nianjiu felt a little melancholy, and said, "My mother was thinking about this when she passed away. I can't do anything for her. Now I think it's a different way to fulfill her last wish."

Shen Guangji said: "The deceased is gone, don't be too sad."

Zhou Nianjiu shook her head and said: "Actually, I can't say I'm sad. How can I say it? It's just a little uncomfortable. It's like looking at a painting with some history and suddenly the color blocks peel off. Oh, I can't say it. My mother passed away. I never cried at all, and the doctors and nurses looked at me strangely."

Shen Guangji patted him on the shoulder lightly and said, "You have your own way of loving her, don't care about other people's eyes."

Zhou Nianjiu said, "My brother said the same thing."

Shen Guangji remembered that he was in a foreign country when Mrs. Fang died. Shen Guangqing scolded him on the phone, saying that he didn't even see his mother for the last time because of some shit, so he couldn't help saying: "You are very lucky to have such a brother." .”

Zhou Nianjiu smiled and said, "Yes, I am very lucky. I have the best father and brother in the world."

The smile looked warm and warm, like a breeze blowing into Shen Guangji's heart, he carefully retracted his gaze from Zhou Nianjiu, because he saw that Meng Meng had returned to the yard.

"What are you guys talking about?" Meng Meng just finished recording a new song, looking in a good mood.

"Let's talk about the beautiful scenery of Xishan Mountain," Shen Guangji said, "Meng Meng, calculate how long you haven't gone out, and stay here all day to be careful not to lose touch with society."

Meng Meng pouted and said, "Shen Guangji, why are you like my mother, who cares about this?"

Shen Guangji said: "If you play with your temper, there is no big or small. You didn't know that I was your mother's lobbyist, and she was looking forward to you going out for a walk."

Meng Meng plausibly said: "It's so chaotic outside, I don't want to go out, and the news I read on the Internet every day is no less than what you read, so I am out of touch with society. Besides, I remember that when you draw pictures, uncle Ten days and a half months out of the studio, I'm also engaged in creation, uncle, don't take original music as your career."

Shen Guangji said: "All right, all right, you are reasonable, as long as you can convince your mother to stay in the house as long as you like, I guarantee that no one will dare to make trouble for you."

Meng Meng's impassioned enthusiasm suddenly died down, and said: "If I can convince her, I will go back to the old house and stay there. There is no use here. I don't even have a cook, and I only eat takeaways every day."

Shen Guangji said: "It's good that you know, when you convince her, I won't have to eat takeaway with you here."

Meng Meng pulled Shen Guangji coquettishly: "Uncle, please help me talk to my mother."

Shen Guangji said: "Just stop thinking about it, she won't listen to anyone's words on this matter."

Meng Meng said angrily at the side: "Hmph, you just don't want to help me, forget it, I'll just consume it like this, let's see who can consume more energy than whom."

Shen Guangji said helplessly to Zhou Nianjiu: "I'll show you a joke."

Zhou Nianjiu shook his head.He painted since he was a child, and his family has always supported him unconditionally. Later, he saw that Li Xiang had conflicts with his mother because of painting, and only then did he understand the influence of his family's attitude on a person. The current Meng Meng is obviously the same as back then. Li Xiang was in the same situation, so he told Meng Meng about Li Xiang, but he didn't mention Li Xiang's name.

Meng Meng asked enviously: "You mean that friend of yours has reached an agreement with his mother, and is now studying in the Academy of Fine Arts?"

Zhou Nianjiu said: "That's right, and it's the best art school in S City. His mother is also supporting him very much now. Every time he participates in a big competition, he will go with him as a supporter." He didn't say that there were also factors that were worried about Li Xiang's health. In, "So take it easy and talk to your mother more, maybe she will change her mind."

Meng Meng thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try, although my mother is a bull-tempered person..." When she said this, she heard someone knock on the door, and she hurried over, whispering, "Should I It will say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."

Fortunately, it wasn't Shen Guangqing who went back and forth outside, but a young man in military uniform.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Meng Meng gave him a false alarm and glared at him.

"Our leader has something to do with Mr. Shen Guangji, so let me come here to pick him up." The young man had a simple and honest face, he didn't dare to look at Meng Meng, and lowered his head to explain his purpose.

"Who are you leading? With such a big score, you won't come here by yourself when you find someone." Meng Meng blocked the door.

"Meng Meng," Shen Guangji also came over, he whispered a few words into Meng Meng's ear, and then said to the young man, "Wait for me for 2 minutes, I will pack up."

Meng Meng stopped talking when she heard the name Shen Guangji said, Fang Huaimin, she, Meng Meng, was not afraid of this uncle since she was a child.

"I'm going out for a while, I won't be back today," Shen Guangji said to Zhou Nianjiu while packing up his painting tools, "It's getting late, I'll ask the driver to drop you off along the way."

"Okay." Zhou Nianjiu packed up his things with him, and said goodbye to Meng Meng.

Meng Meng waved to them and said, "See you tomorrow."

When Zhou Nianjiu got out of the car, Fang Leye, who was smoking a pill on the balcony, stared straight at him. As soon as he entered the house, he was grabbed by the shoulder and asked: "Zhou Xiaonian, smoking, drinking and playing games all night, you didn't tell my old man, did you?" ?”

Zhou Nianjiu fanned the smell of smoke on his face and said, "What are you talking about Fang Leye, I don't even know what your father looks like, so where can I tell someone about it?"

Fang Leye asked suspiciously: "Then whose car did you ride in just now?"

Zhou Nianjiu said: "Someone has something to do with Mr. Shen. He asked the driver to take me back on the way. Why, do you know that car?"

Fang Leye thought about it, and said, "It was a false alarm." He didn't intend to hide it from Zhou Nianjiu, so he said, "To tell you the truth, my father is Fang Huaimin, and Shen Guangji is my little cousin."

"So you and Teacher Shen are relatives," Zhou Nianjiu asked hesitantly, "From what you mean, is your father more famous than Teacher Shen?"

Fang Leye looked at Zhou Nianjiu for three seconds as if he were a rare animal, and then laughed loudly: "As expected of Zhou Xiaonian, I don't know my dad."

Zhou Nianjiu was baffled by him. Seeing that Fang Leye didn't intend to continue explaining, he simply asked Du Niang. This search and the long list of text explanations below gave him a lot of insight. He wanted to stay with him for a long time. A friend who lived there said, "It turns out that you are the one in the legend."

Fang Leye said "Bah, bah, bah": "Don't run on people, what the prince is talking about is my brother, a freak like me who belongs to the Fang family, I won't be able to get into the eyes of those people."

Zhou Nianjiu nodded and said, "Well, a big man writes silly and sweet little words, so you are quite strange."

Fang Leye flew over with a pillow.

When Zhou Nianjiu and Fang Leye finally shook hands and sat down to discuss what to have for dinner, Shen Guangji had already arrived at the courtyard, and Fang Huaimin was sitting in the living room making tea.

"Guangji, you're here." Fang Huaimin signaled Shen Guangji to sit down and talk.

"Brother, I don't know what you are looking for. If it is a matter of contacting the Yuan family with foreign forces, I have already resolved it, and the corresponding report has been delivered to you." Shen Guangji sat down on the sofa next to him .

"I've seen it, you handled it very well," Fang Huaimin pointed to a cup in front, "Try this."

Shen Guangji took Wen Xiang and nodded.

Fang Huaimin poured him a cup and said, "This is from last year. When the new tea comes out, I'll have someone bring it to you."

Shen Guangji said: "You don't need to be so particular."

"This is not like the Guangji I know," Fang Huaimin said with a smile, "The Guangji I know either doesn't want it, or wants the best."

Shen Guangji said: "The past few years outside has changed this stinking problem."

"It's fine if you change it," Fang Huaimin said with a smile, "It's better to come back and do things less to leave people with nothing to talk about."

Shen Guangji changed Fang Huaimin's cup of hot tea in a leisurely manner, and said, "Brother, you know that I have no intention of going into politics, and the reason why I took action before was because the other party drew fire on me."

Fang Huaimin said, "I thought you changed your mind when you came back this time."

Shen Guangji said: "I still say the same thing, the Fang family has the old man in charge, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the younger generation to have a good career and a good career, that's enough."

Fang Huaimin said unhurriedly: "If you don't want to, I won't force it. The matter with the Central Academy of Sciences has been settled. If you have time, go and sell a vacation. I will be your teacher in the future."

Shen Guangji said, "Okay."

Seeing that he answered without hesitation, Fang Huaimin couldn't help laughing and asked, "Is it really so good to be a teacher?"

Shen Guangji said: "For me, it is at least a little more interesting than other professions."

Fang Huaimin said, "It's still so capricious."

Shen Guangji said with a smile: "The Fang family already has enough sensible people, I'd rather be self-willed."

Fang Huaimin said: "You, you, the old man should not have sent you to the Shen family back then."

Shen Guangji said: "If you don't send it to the Shen family, why don't you stay in the Fang family as a target? I have heard my aunt say more than once about the situation at home. She was too careful with me at the time, and my sister almost saw that something was wrong. My sister At that time, I asked my aunt if I was her real brother."

Fang Huaimin said: "The Yuan family and our Fang family have had a long-standing grievance. We managed to overwhelm them last time. They have been working hard to find their way back in the past two years..."

Shen Guangji signaled him to stop, and said: "Brother, I believe you already have a second hand, so you don't need to try, I'm really not interested in these."

Fang Huaimin said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this. But the old man has something to say, you are in your thirties this year, when will you find him a daughter-in-law?"

Shen Guangji said, "Don't worry about this."

Fang Huaimin said: "You are not in a hurry and someone is in a hurry. Look at Liye. The child is five years old. Do you need your sister-in-law to pay attention to you?"

Shen Guangji said: "Brother, take care of your grandson when you have time, don't worry about me as an unreliable person."

Fang Huaimin was not so easy to fool, and asked, "Do you have a goal?"

Shen Guangji drank his tea with his head down, neither saying yes nor no.
