The Romance of a Young Painter

The next day, Wen Wenyuan woke up before dawn. He had already made up his mind to cook for himself today, and he would go to the nearby morning market to buy vegetables in the morning. He moved lightly, but Zhou Nianjiu still woke up. He stared dazedly after brushing his teeth. After washing his face, he stood in front of Wenmingyuan.

Seeing those two locks of upturned hair, Wenmingyuan couldn't help but pat him twice. The father and son listed the menus and walked out. There were no people on the road, but it became lively when they reached the entrance of the market. The vegetable vendors were busy at the moment. While loading and unloading, individual customers are not greeted very much, but the dishes at this moment are also the freshest.

The eldest son, Wen Juan, loves seafood. Considering that it is rare for him to eat it in other places, Wen Wenyuan first went to the fish market. Now that the crabs are not fat enough, he picked two catties of prawns, a grouper, and a He beat scallops, and then went to the meat market to cut a fresh small rib and a large piece of Niu Lin, which Zhou Nianjiu likes to eat, then picked out a few vegetables, and then bought all the ingredients of onion, ginger and garlic.

Zhou Nianjiu came back to the morning market for the first time. He followed Wenmingyuan silently. For the goods, his father asked the store for the price, picked the vegetables like other grandmas who came to buy vegetables, and then took the spoils contentedly.In the morning light, people and things are intertwined into a dynamic and flowing picture scroll. This kind of experience makes him feel warm, but it is not so interesting.

"Xiao Nian, let's go." Wen Wenyuan bought the last thing, and greeted the young son who was dazed beside him.

"Okay." Zhou Nianjiu followed Wen Wenyuan's footsteps, looked at the back that was not as tall and straight as it was in the early years, and finally made up for the lack of meaning in his heart. If the flowing picture just now was still missing The core node is the love of a father for his son.

Zhou Nianjiu told Wenmingyuan about this feeling on the way back, and Wenmingyuan was amused at once, and he said, "Xiao Nian, if you compliment Dad like this, Dad can't help but sell the company back. Be the husband of the house."

Zhou Nianjiu knew that Wenmingyuan was not really keen on cooking, so he said, "Even if he doesn't cook, dad is still a good dad."

If both hands were not occupied by Caidouzi, Wen Wenyuan would definitely hug his youngest son and rub his head, and then he couldn't help teaching his youngest son: "It doesn't matter who cooks for you, it means treating you well. You must know how to distinguish. Don't let someone abduct you after a meal..."

Zhou Nianjiu did not agree with Wen Juan's point of view. In his concept, to the extent that he could eat food cooked by himself, it must be someone he was already familiar with. It was completely out of line with Wen Wenming's logic, but he was sensible. He chose to shut up. In terms of debate, he is not a civilized opponent at all. Opening his mouth rashly will only trigger a larger-scale non-lethal skill attack.

As a result, Wen Wenyuan was talking on his own, and when he got home soon, he realized that he had wasted all his efforts and that Zhou Nianjiu wasn't listening at all, so he simply took the things in his youngest son's hand and sent him outside the community Buy breakfast from the fried pan shop, so as not to be an eyesore in front of you.

The owner, Zhao Guifen, is an old neighbor. The father and son have eaten breakfast at her house for many years. Wen Wenyuan helped out a few years ago when the shop was opened, so as soon as Zhou Nianjiu appeared at the door of the shop, she came over to greet her personally: "Yes. Xiao Nian, your dad is willing to let you out today, what do you want to eat?"

"Aunt Zhao, please bring me a dozen pan-fried rice, half vegetarian and half meat, and two cups of soy milk."

Zhao Guifen asked while skillfully packing, "Are you on vacation?"

Zhou Nianjiu replied to her: "Release."

The girl packing soy milk next to her filled two cups deftly, then took off her mask and asked, "Xiao Nianjiu, when is your brother coming back?" This is Xu Xiaomin, Zhao Guifen's daughter. She is two years older than Zhou Nianjiu. .

"Sister Xiaomin, you can ask my brother directly." Zhou Nianjiu has been pestered by Xu Xiaomin for many years to ask about Wen Ju'an, and he is already very experienced in dealing with it.

"If he told me honestly, I would have gone back with him long ago, so I don't need to ask you." Xu Xiaomin rolled his eyes at him. In order to chase Wen Ju'an, she even took the college entrance examination in City B. The school is door-to-door. Before the summer vacation started, she wanted to catch Wen Juan and go back to S City to create a two-person trip, but Wen Juan went to Shangdi's studio earlier and didn't give her this chance.

"So, I can't tell you either." Zhou Nianjiu said naturally.

"I'm talking about Xiao Nianjiu, even if I refuse to answer, can I ask you to be more tactful?" Xu Xiaomin was angry.

"I'm already very tactful." Zhou Nianjiu looked innocent.

Xu Xiaomin felt powerless, but still said unwillingly: "It's not the itinerary of the head of state, so let me reveal it."

Zhao Guifen glared at her daughter, then took the soy milk and the packaged raw fried rice and handed it to Zhou Nianjiu: "Xiao Nian, ignore her, take it."

Zhou Nianjiu quickly took it and handed over the money: "Thank you, Aunt Zhao."

When they got home, the father and son had breakfast, and Zhou Nianjiu took out his hand-painted notebook and began to sketch the scene in the market in the morning. He didn't plan to draw a big picture before the college entrance examination, and he would write down any material in a small notebook first.Wen Wenyuan glanced at him from the door of the study, then turned around and went to pack the groceries.

When Zhou Nianjiu was painting, his mind was calm. This kind of peace had been with him for many years. Before he realized it, he had enjoyed this state very much, but now he is not satisfied with this kind of peace.After finishing painting the morning market, he dug out the previous sketches of Meng Xing. The date of resuming the sketches could not be determined, but he was not in a hurry. Compared with his peers and even adults, what he lacked most was the patience to wait. Next semester at the latest, he would be able to see this person again, and there would be plenty of opportunities to fill in the vacant parts.

Meng Xing didn't know that he was being missed. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart, because he didn't think there was anyone or anything in this world worthy of his special attention.Right now, he is opening his Bank of China account at SHA Airport. On the day he reaches his full age, he received the first large sum of money from the old man. After he bought an apartment for himself, the remaining money will be divided into two parts. He went to the Hong Kong stock market and the U.S. stock market and bought a few electronic component raw material stocks and IT stocks that he was optimistic about at the time. After half a year, these stocks have increased to varying degrees, but the holding period is not long enough to participate in dividends, so he only did it. Minor tweaks and logged out.

Meng Xing didn't spend too much energy on these things, the old man was only in his early forties, it was wiser for him to hide his strength and bide his time rather than show his sharpness.But recently the old man's Nth lover came online. This time, he is a returnee. She looks like a beautiful and intelligent master, much better than those high-end goods before. Although this returnee woman is not a threat to Meng Xing in the short term, but The age difference between him and him who is less than eight years old is very shocking.Moreover, the appearance of the returnee woman made the old man who had been raising him outside unable to sit still, but that one was not stupid, so he knew that first, let the bastard who could talk to him and the old man come over to find out the news, and by the way Apply eye drops here - she has been playing this trick for almost ten years, and Meng Xing has been playing with her patiently for ten years, and she has long since gotten tired of it.

Whether it's a money game, or the old man's scheming, or that seemingly harmless bastard, to Meng Xing, it's just an adjustment. After all, life is so boring, and there is always something to pass the time.But now that the summer vacation is here, he has to go out as usual, so he booked the plane ticket after he finished perfunctory with the other party.

So Meng Xing, who left City S, and Zhou Nianjiu, who went to pick up Wen Juan, arrived at the same airport on the same day and at the same time, but one was in the waiting hall and the other was in the arrival hall, and they didn't even meet each other.

Today is a working day, and there will be no traffic jams in the morning, so Zhou Nianjiu came over in a hurry. You are not allowed to drive a car if you are not of legal age. Wen Wenyuan arranged for the driver Xiao Zhang early on - Zhou Nianjiu never had to worry about these details.

The plane arrived on time, and when Wen Juan came out, he saw Zhou Nianjiu standing calmly at a distance from the many people who were picking up the plane, very conspicuous.

"Xiao Nian!" Wen Juan put the luggage on the ground, and picked up his younger brother.

Zhou Nianjiu's expression collapsed instantly.

Wen Ju'an turned around in this posture, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you in half a year. You only grow tall, but you don't gain flesh."

Zhou Nianjiu quit and said, "Brother, let me down quickly."

Wen Juan put it away when he saw it was ready, put down his little brother, picked up the satchel next to him, looked around, and asked, "Where's Dad?"

"Cook at home." Zhou Nianjiu said.

"Looks like I'm lucky today." Wen Ju'an said with a smile.

Wenmingyuan is very good at cooking. He can cook the same taste at home after eating in a restaurant once, and sometimes he improves and innovates along the way. Unfortunately, he himself has no intention of developing this talent. He would rather open an advertisement at the beginning. The company also refuses to do catering.

"Yes, thanks to you." Zhou Nianjiu actually drank Wen Wenyuan's tonifying soup these days after being injured, but he didn't plan to tell Wen Ju'an, for fear of accidents.

However, the sharp-eyed Wen Ju'an quickly saw the bruises that had been deliberately covered up, and he withdrew his smile, touched the wound with his fingers, and asked, "Xiao Nian, what's going on?"

"It's not a disaster, let's talk about it as we go." Zhou Nianjiu knew that his elder brother would definitely not let it go, so he talked about the whole thing in a few words while going to the parking lot, and then said, "The other party came to apologize. never mind."

The two brothers got into the car, went out of the basement and turned onto the Hongdi elevated road, and their vision suddenly widened.

Seeing that Wen Ju'an was still sullen, Zhou Nianjiu quickly changed the subject, "Brother, I saw sister Xiaomin this morning, and she asked about you."

Wen Juan glanced at him and asked, "Did you betray brother?"

Zhou Nianjiu shook his head and said, "How is that possible."

"So cute." Wen Juan rubbed his younger brother's head. Wen Juan and Wenmingyuan are in the same line in that they like to touch their heads.

Zhou Nianjiu slapped off the mischievous hand without hesitation.

Wen Juan recalled the comfortable feeling just now, and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you betray me this time."

Zhou Nianjiu looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Brother, are you going to accept sister Xiaomin?"

Wen Ju'an smiled and said, "Where did you go?"

Zhou Nianjiu said, "Why is that?"

Wen Ju'an said: "Xu Xiaomin is now studying in the Chinese Department of University B."

Zhou Nianjiu immediately understood that this was to pave the way for him.

"But don't worry about it," Wen Ju'an said, "Xiao Nian, I have already contracted your schedule for this summer vacation."

It's a pity that Zhou Nianjiu, who doesn't watch TV and doesn't care about gossip, is doomed not to get the essence of the "contracting" meme.
