The plan of the day is in the morning

"

Is there an exhibition hall here?

Yi Xiaotian was a little suspicious. Seeing that Yu Chen had followed, he had no choice but to follow. The exhibition hall was on the second floor. Sure enough, as soon as he went upstairs, he could find that the floor here was clean and the heating was on. It was completely messy like downstairs. It's two worlds.

There were many paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor, and Hongmao stood there counting the paintings and writing something in the notebook. When he heard the footsteps and turned around to see them, he waved his hands with the corners of his mouth curled up as a greeting.

Lin Yangqing fetched them two cups of hot water from the water dispenser, then led them through the corridor, and introduced, "I'm laughing, all the works on this side of the corridor are my own works, and further inside, the hall Here are some paintings I have collected over the past few years, come in and have a look."

Yi Xiaotian stood at the entrance of the exhibition hall, feeling a little strange. Lin Yangqing seemed to want to show him something, so he tried his best to invite him here.

Noticing Yi Xiaotian's probing gaze, Lin Yangqing smiled harmlessly and gently at him, "Don't be afraid, come on."

Yi Xiaotian frowned.

Of course he wasn't afraid, but he didn't know what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd, so he panicked for no reason.

Yu Chen gently pushed him behind his back, "Go."

Yu Chen, do you also know something?

Yi Xiaotian looked at him in surprise, but Yu Chen's eyes were calm and steady, calming down his slight uneasiness.

He collected himself and finally stepped into the painting hall.

The painting hall is very large, and the footsteps on the wooden floor seem to echo. The partition wall in the middle divides the space like a maze. He walked forward along the winding corridor, turned a corner, and a huge painting Appeared in the middle of the exhibition hall.

It was a painting with extremely bright and rich colors. It hung there quietly, as if it had absorbed all the light sources and colors in the surrounding environment, making the surroundings instantly eclipsed.

In the picture are colorful and brilliant flower fields and a river. A small bridge stands on the river. The sun shines on the river, and the water surface is sparkling.

Yi Xiaotian's pupils shrank sharply at that moment as if being stung by the rich color.

He recognized the place in the painting, and he recognized the familiar style.

That river is the Yinchuan River, and the bridge is the Wuque Bridge.

In the lower right corner of the painting, a name he is very familiar with is signed.

This is his mother's drawing.

Lin Yangqing's office is not too big, and the decoration is very simple.

When Yi Xiaotian finished flipping through the photo album, the hot tea on the coffee table was no longer steaming.

"So, you are my mother's student?"

He didn't know what expression to put on.

"Ah."

Lin Yangqing sat on the single sofa opposite, with his elbows resting on his legs and his palms clasped against his chin, with a nostalgic expression on his face, "I was in the second year of high school like you, and I was endorsing a book in the park one weekend. When I met a teacher with a group of children sketching, maybe I was staring at them all the time, so the teacher smiled and asked me if I would like to draw a few strokes..."

When he said this, he lowered his head slightly and smiled, and he could see that it was a very pleasant time, "The teacher is very lively and cheerful, she likes candy very much, and she always carries all kinds of lollipops in her pocket. I will give it to the children, and I will also give it to me. She said that eating candy will make her feel better. She is like a big sister. At that time, I was very desperate because of some... things. It was she who enlightened me, and since then I fell in love with drawing."

Yi Xiaoxia consciously put his hand into his pocket, and found a few fruit candies that he stuffed in when he went out.

"Later I decided to take the Academy of Fine Arts, and I completely turned against my family. She encouraged me and helped me a lot... After I was admitted to University A, we still kept in touch. That's when I knew that she met her lover and planned to get married. gone."

"It's a pity that I was preparing to go abroad for further study, and I couldn't come back to attend her wedding. After going abroad, our contact gradually decreased. I only vaguely heard that she quit her job and had a child. I thought she was going to concentrate on taking care of her. The family, so I will not bother her anymore... I didn't expect to receive the bad news a few years later."

"Sorry, I should have been back sooner."

Lin Yangqing pushed his glasses, and lowered his head guiltily, "When I was most desperate, it was the teacher who encouraged me all the time, but I failed to show up when she needed help the most."

"..."

Yi Xiaotian's eyes fell on the group photo at the end of the album, which was a group photo of a young woman and a group of children of different ages.

In the photo, the woman is wearing a bright yellow gauze dress and a woven straw hat, her smile is bright and dazzling in the bright sunlight, more dazzling and beautiful than the sun.

Young, vivid, colorful, bright, gorgeous.

All these words can be applied to her.

Mingming and the mother in Yi Xiaotian's memory have the same face, but they are completely different.

In the following time, Yi Xiaotian remained silent, Yu Chen took the initiative to leave when he saw that it was getting late, and Lin Yangqing sent them to the door.

"Today is Christmas Eve, senior brother will give you a little gift."

Lin Yangqing suddenly said with a smile.

Yi Xiaotian was stunned for a moment.

When did you recognize your senior brother so familiarly?

Before Yi Xiaotian had time to complain, a hard and rough little thing was stuffed into his hand.

It is a pine cone.

"..."

Just give this as a meeting gift?

Yi Xiaotian held the pine cone and looked at it, then whispered, "Stingy."

Lin Yangqing ignored his complaints and handed one to Yu Chen, his eyes slightly curved behind the lens, "Pine cones represent luck and happiness, remember to keep them well."

Yu Chen nodded, "Thank you."

The car on the way home was very quiet, Yi Xiaotian suddenly said,

"She never smiled at me that much."

Yu Chen was looking out of the car window, but turned to look at him when he heard this.

"Yu Chen, you have a better memory than me. Do you still remember my mother?"

Yi Xiaotian also looked at him.

It was already dark outside, the backseat of the car was dimly lit, and the flickering lights of the commercial street outside the car window and cheerful festival music could be seen faintly, Yi Xiaotian's eyes were filled with a rare disappointment.

In his memory, his mother was gentle and gentle even when she smiled, but most of the time, she always looked at the sky outside the attic with a calm and dazed expression.

She was always soft-spoken, touching his head very tenderly, talking to him, telling him stories, but she never smiled at him like in those pictures.

She would sit in front of the easel for a whole day, drawing non-stop, and tearing up unsatisfactory paintings, but she almost never went out, and she would not open her hands in circles in the flower fields like in the photo, Doesn't run happily along the river bank wearing a straw hat.

why?

Yu Chen's slender eyelashes drooped slightly, and then he reached out and touched his head, letting him rest his head on his shoulder, turned his face to look out of the window again, and whispered, "It's all over."

……

After returning home, Yi Xiaotian went to his father's study, his father was not at home, so naturally there was no one in the study.

He rummaged through the bookcase for a long time but found nothing, and finally saw the photo album in the most conspicuous place on the desk.

The photo album is well preserved, but it can be seen that people often flip through it. Nowadays, almost all photos of young people are stored in their mobile phones, and they are rarely printed out on purpose. People of the older generation like to collect photos worth cherishing into books like this. From time to time, I took out the review review.

He sat down on the chair, looked at the photo album that was within reach, and suddenly felt that he didn't seem to know his father well.

If you really dare not face it, why put it here?

He was in a daze for a long time before he opened the photo album.

The earliest photos seem to be taken when his parents first met. They both look very young, one is beautiful and cheerful, and the other is high-spirited.

His mother likes to wear brightly colored skirts and dress up youthfully and beautifully. In every photo, she always has a variety of lively smiles, and the shooting locations are also varied.

Some are sitting in a black boat with an umbrella, some are holding marshmallows and making faces, some are jumping and walking under the tree-lined road with their hands behind their backs, some are wrinkling their noses with creamy faces and getting angry...

With just a glance, you can feel her vitality.

Then his father appeared in the photo album. The group photo of the two of them is very interesting. His mother often drags his father to pose in various poses. His father’s young face will be a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but it can be seen that he is working hard. Cooperating with his mother, when looking at his mother, there are indulgent and doting smiles in his eyes.

There are also a lot of group photos of the two, and then there is a lively wedding, the beautiful bride and the handsome groom, standing in front of the villa being renovated, pointing at the house and discussing the decoration style, and his mother sitting in front of the easel drawing, In the painting is a cute and childlike candy house, with the words "our home" written next to it.

Then, the girl's abdomen began to swell slightly, indicating that this small family is about to welcome a new member.

It was also from this time that the vivid smile on the girl's face gradually disappeared and turned into a shallow and gentle smile. She would sit in the rocking chair and bask in the sun, lie down at the window and stare at the passing wild cats in a trance, and Quietly reading a book by the stove.

Her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the photos are getting less and less...

Then the album came to an end.

Yi Xiaotian together
