Reborn with you

February 2st - "Communist Manifesto" published in Italian.

November 11th——Zhang Zhidong, governor of Huguang, invited the Qing government to establish Ziqiang School (the predecessor of Wuhan University).

December 12th——"Sino-British Tibet-India Renewal Agreement" was signed.

December 12th——Mao Zedong was born in Shaoshan, Xiangtan County, Hunan Province.

It was late spring when they left Hangzhou, and it was early autumn when they returned four years later.The three of Shan Qiang looked at the completely similar but different scenery in front of them, feeling that time was passing by so quickly.

"Junjie, have you ever met your sister-in-law?" Chen Yishui winked and narrowed his eyes.

Xuanyuan Junjie shook the fan in his hand, squinted at Chen Yishui, "No, what's the matter with you?"

Chen Yishui glanced at Shan Qiang who was walking in front, and said with a sneer, "Compared with you, my original decision was indeed correct." If he had abandoned Shan Qiang at the beginning, he must have obeyed his parents' arrangement by now and married a young woman. For a woman who has never met before to be a wife, the best situation can only be that the two respect each other like a guest. How can they be connected with each other like they are now, they are both friends and lovers.

Xuanyuan Junjie sighed, "Who told me that I haven't met such a junior or sister."

Hearing the words, Chen Yishui took a careful look at Xuanyuan Junjie, and suddenly realized that this kid was actually in good condition. Although he didn't see that he harbored evil intentions towards his junior, it was hard to guarantee that he didn't have such or such thoughts in his heart. After all, his junior was loved by everyone.However, Chen Yishui immediately thought very easily that this kid is going to get married in two months, and even if he has any ideas, he can only rot in his stomach.

While joking, they had already reached the gate of Xuanyuan's house.Xuanyuan Junjie looked a little excited. When he was away, he was reluctant to part with the freedom and happiness outside, but when he really got home, he remembered the inner stability and warmth when he was at home, which aroused the deep thoughts hidden in his heart. "Finally home." Hearing these words in Chen Yishui's ears, they inevitably reminded them of the home they had left for nearly six years, and wondered what was going on at home?Is Master still in good health?Has An An grown into a big girl?For a while, several people stopped talking and laughing, and the atmosphere fell silent.

Xuanyuan Junjie's family had been waiting for a long time. As soon as they saw the three of Xuanyuan entering the door, his mother and younger sister immediately surrounded him and asked for warmth. At this time, Xuanyuan's family was no longer that high-ranking lady, but just the most ordinary person in the world. The mother will feel distressed because of her son's weight loss, and will complain because her son has not returned for many years.On the contrary, Xuanyuan Qing noticed Shan Qiang and Chen Yishui on the side, and nodded to Shan Qiang with a smile. She was beautiful and generous, but she was a slim, quiet and beautiful woman without seeing the youthfulness before.The ignorant feelings at the beginning have already faded away with the passage of time, and now seeing that person, it is just a slight move in my heart, and I sigh that I have been moved and sad for this gentle man.

Xuanyuanlei coughed, and interrupted Xuanyuan's nagging, "Okay, isn't this back? If you have something to say, it's not too late to say it later, let's go, let's go, how is the journey?" The last sentence is rare for Xuanyuanlei. Showing a smiling face, he asked Shan Qiang and the two of them, it can be seen that he was not as indifferent to his son's return as he had shown.

The two saluted and replied: "Thank you for your miss, we are fine."

Xuanyuan smiled and said: "It was my negligence. You must be tired when you come back from the journey. Go back and rest first." Shan Qiang and the others walked for nearly two months, and they were indeed very tired. They prepare the rest of the rooms not to mention.

After resting at Xuanyuan's house for a few days, Shan Qiang and the others proposed to Xuanyuan Junjie to leave. This was discussed by them on the way back, so Xuanyuan Junjie didn't keep them anymore. They really don't have time to accompany them, besides, the place Shan Qiang and the others are going to is not far from Hangzhou, so it is very convenient to find them.

Shan Qiang and the others have been wandering for the past few years, and they are both physically and mentally exhausted, so they plan to stay in one place for a while to rest.Furthermore, the two have accumulated a large number of calligraphy and painting works, which take time to sort out and select.As for why Shanghai was chosen, this was the result of their discussion. Shan Qiang and Chen Yishui planned to open an art exhibition, and Shanghai can be said to be the most prosperous area in China. If an art exhibition is held there, the effect will be better than other places.Xuanyuan Junjie offered to ask Cao Yu to help Shan Qiang and the others hold the art exhibition. His family has a lot of influence in Shanghai. With his help, the art exhibition will surely be more effective.

Shan Qiang and the others have been away for these years, and they are no longer the young people who didn't know the world. They know that holding an art exhibition in a place like Shanghai is not something you can hold only if you have paintings, and he and Chen Yishui don't have that kind of fame or right now.

Cao Yu readily agreed after learning about it, and went to Shanghai with Shan Qiang and the others.Declining Cao Yu's invitation to live in the annex of his house, Shan Qiang and the others found an independent small courtyard and rented it.If they hold an art exhibition, there will be more personnel exchanges, and if they live in other people's homes, they may cause trouble to others.This yard is really small, with only two main rooms and a small kitchen.There is an osmanthus tree in the middle of the yard, which grows very luxuriantly. The flowers on the tree have bloomed sporadically, and the faint fragrance of flowers permeates the air, sweet and pleasant.Shan Qiang can already imagine what a wonderful scene it will be when the trees are full of flowers.

Shan Qiang lived alone for more than ten years in her last life, and she knew how to cook simple meals, so that small kitchen could come in handy at this time.The weather turned cold, and it wouldn't be hot for two people to sleep together, so one of the two main rooms was used as a study by them. On the day it was cleaned, the room was filled with a large number of picture scrolls and books.

After finishing the work, Shan Qiang rubbed her stomach, feeling a little hungry.The food bought on the road seems to have been eaten this morning, so I have to buy some rice noodles and vegetables.

"Yishui, is it almost done?" Shan Qiang asked Chen Yishui as she put down her rolled up sleeves.Chen Yishui put the last book away carefully, turned around and said with a smile, "Well, everything is packed."

"Then let's go grocery shopping."

Chen Yishui has heard this sentence countless times during the years of living in Dunhuang, and every time he hears it, he has the feeling that he and Shan Qiang are an ordinary couple.

The landlord is a native of Shanghai, but he can understand Sichuan dialect. After some exchanges, Shan Qiang and the others finally knew where to buy rice and vegetables.It's not too far from where they rented, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there.

Shan Qiang frowned, "I heard from the landlord that there are no more vegetable sellers now, and it's also because we came out too late, so we must get up early in the future."

"It doesn't matter, let's just settle down for a while today. Didn't we eat worse in Dunhuang?"

Shan Qiang smiled, "That's right, there was a period of time when I only ate steamed buns in soup, and now I feel a little uncomfortable thinking about steamed buns."

After asking all the way, when they arrived at the place mentioned by the landlord, there were no fresh vegetables and fruits for sale, so the two had no choice but to buy the necessities of life first.It is rare for two men to come to buy these things, and even the shopkeeper has looked at them several times.Shan Qiang and the others have long been used to it. When returning home, they each carried a lot in their arms, so walking back like this is naturally not acceptable. With the help of the shopkeeper, they hailed a rickshaw and arrived home safely.Finally, with the help of Chen Yishui, Shan Qiang made some simple meals, because they were really hungry, and the two of them ate deliciously.

Afterwards, apart from going out to buy things in the morning, the two of them spent the rest of the time in the house sorting out the collection of calligraphy and painting, and selected some works that they had seen for a while for exhibition.On this day, the two were still tidying up, when there was a knock on the door, Chen Yishui put down the painting in his hand, and said to Shan Qiang, "Look at you, I'll open the door."

Passing by the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Chen Yishui opened the door and saw Cao Yu with an expressionless face. Chen Yishui remembered that Xuanyuan Junjie seemed to be like this when he and Shan Qiang first met him.

"Please come in." Chen Yishui stepped aside and closed the door after Cao Yu entered.

"What are you doing?"

"Sort out calligraphy and paintings from recent years."

Cao Yin showed an interested look on his face. After four years, he also wanted to know how the level of these two people was.He quickened his pace and entered the room with the door open.As soon as he entered, he was shocked by the paintings and calligraphy piled up in the room.You know, it was only three years in Dunhuang, and the number of scrolls copied by the two of them is not known. It seems that the scale is really considerable.Fortunately, people from Xuanyuan's family helped move them back, otherwise the transportation of these things would still be a problem.

Cao Yu pointed to the calligraphy and painting that was taller than the hill, and asked with wide eyes, "These, these are all drawn by you?"

It was rare to see Cao Yu showing such an expression, Chen Yishui walked over him happily, and said with a smile, "Of course we drew it, you can see for yourself."

Cao Yu picked up a scroll of paintings nearby. Judging from the inscription below, it is Chen Yishui's. This is a landscape painting. By painting, you can imagine how you will feel when you are in the place.Its artistic conception and superb skills are really unique among the younger generation.Cao Yu gently put this scroll of paintings away, and picked up another scroll. This scroll was Shan Qiang's. The strong colors from the pavement made Cao Yu wonder if it was a painting by Shan Qiang who likes the elegant style, but the painting The traces left by the medium skill brushstrokes told Cao Yu that this was really Shan Qiang's work. Cao Yu couldn't help but look up at Shan Qiang who was sorting out the scroll. Chen Dan told him that they had spent most of the past few years in the Dunhuang, could it be that a few years of experience in Dunhuang has changed a person's painting style so much?Cao Yu looked down at the painting in his hand again. The color of the picture was strong, but harmonious and majestic.

Cao Yu said excitedly: "Okay, okay, these paintings of yours will definitely make you a sensation in Shanghai."

Shan Qiang smiled and said: "This is too exaggerated. In the place where the dragon is hidden in Shanghai and the tiger is crouching, it would be great if someone can come to see our two little-known painters. There will be a sensation in Shanghai."

Cao Yu regained his paralyzed face, and said seriously: "Anzhi, don't think I'm joking, I said you can do it."

Seeing the seriousness of what he said, Shan Qiang also had some expectations in her heart. Even a painter with a casual style hopes to be affirmed by others in her own field.He smiled and said, "Then I will accept your good words."

Cao Yu walked around the room again, occasionally picked up a scroll of paintings to look at, or praised a word, but was finally kicked out by Chen Yishui who suspected that he was occupying the space.Before leaving, Cao Yu said to the two of them, "Just tidy up. I'll arrange the art exhibition right away. Someone will definitely come to see it."

Five days later, Cao Yu came to inform the two that the place for the art exhibition had been found, and they just had to wait for them to bring their calligraphy and paintings.It happened that Shan Qiang and the others had also finished tidying up, so they went to look at the venue. Unexpectedly, the place Cao Yu was looking for would be a famous gallery in Shanghai, and Cao Yu rented the entire gallery.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"Will it be too big?" Shan Qiang looked around the surrounding environment. The decoration was very modern, simple and bright, very suitable for an art exhibition venue.

Cao Yu put her hands behind her back and said flatly, "It won't be big. I've seen it before. Your paintings must be in such a large venue. If there is no space, those paintings will not be seen by anyone. Wouldn't it be a pity."

Well, Cao Yu with a paralyzed face has officially become a fan of the two.

Shan Qiang couldn't laugh or cry, Chen Yishui stepped forward and squeezed Cao Yu's shoulder, "Thank you very much. If you don't mind, my junior brother and I have left a set of calligraphy and painting for you."

Cao Yu's eyes lit up, he really likes the style of the two of them, and he still often plays with the words that Shan Qiang gave him before. "Very well, that's enough."

According to the size of the gallery, the two each selected [-] calligraphy and paintings, which were included in every place they visited, Emei, Huangshan, Hangzhou, grassland, desert, Dunhuang...

Three days later, the art exhibition opened.
