"How much?"

After a moment of distraction, the man raised his head again, looked at Lian Ge and asked,

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the man, and after a pause, smiled slightly,

"As much as you have in your left trouser pocket, you have as much as you want. ”

"This ......"

When the man heard the sound, he fumbled in his left trouser pocket with his briefcase in his hand.

"It's just two dollars, look at this ......"

The man dug out his trouser pocket, and there were only two one-dollar change bills in it.

"Otherwise, you still say how much it is, and I'll transfer it to you on WeChat. ”

The man took the somewhat wrinkled change, raised his head and looked at Lian Ge and said,

"Enough. ”

Lian Ge smiled, stretched out his hand and handed a roll of drawing paper on the long table directly to the man,

"What about this ......"

The man looked at Lian Ge, hesitated, took the painting, and at the same time handed the change to Lian Ge,

Glancing at the man, Lian Ge took the money and put it aside,

"Thank you......"

Holding the scroll in one hand and the briefcase in the other, the man thanked Lian Ge again,

"You should go, or it'll be too late. Lian Ge looked at the man and said in a calm tone,

"That'...... I'll take my leave. ”

When the man heard the sound, he raised his wrist again to look at the time, said goodbye eagerly, and then turned around and walked away quickly.

......

Seeing the man disappear from sight, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, and then looked at the two change bills on the table,

Smiling slightly, retracting his gaze, Lian Ge quietly looked at the bustling people walking in front of him as before, pedestrians, tourists,

“...... Mom, Dad, look, the ...... of drawing."

Parents and their children's families walked in front of the booth, the father walked on the child's left side, and the mother walked on the child's right side, holding the child's hand.

The child pulled his mother in some surprise, looked at the stall in front of Lian Ge, and stopped,

Hearing this, the child's parents also stopped, looked at each other, and smiled,

"Yes, the painter, do you want to go over and have a look?" squatting down, the child's mother looked at the child and asked,

"Yes!" the child nodded, nodded crisply, and responded,

Smiling, the child's mother stood up, and together with the child's father, took the child, and walked towards the Lian Ge stall.

......

“...... Brother, are you selling paintings......?

The child's father looked at the stall, looked at the blank drawing paper on the long table, without any ink, and couldn't help asking,

"Whatever you want, you can draw it. ”

Lian Ge stood up, looked at the family in front of the stall, and replied with a smile,

"Can you draw one for us?" the child's father retracted his gaze, looked at Lian Ge and asked,

"Of course, you can, you can draw something. ”

"Can you draw a picture of our family?" the child's mother looked at Lian Ge and said loudly, "Finally, I can draw our family on the painting." ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at this family and shook his head,

"I'm sorry, I'm not good at portraits. ”

"Then ......," the child's mother said, looking back at her child, hesitated, "then draw whatever you want." ”

"Can I take a look?" asked the child, looking at the long table about the height of his, with expectation in his eyes.

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the child's mother, and then at the child who was tiptoeing, smiled slightly, and moved to the side of the long table.

Seeing this, the child's mother smiled and touched her child's head.

"Go ahead. ”

Hearing his mother's words, the child walked around the long table with some joy, walked behind it, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the drawing paper on the table.

Glancing at the family again, Lian Ge lifted the brush placed on the side and dipped it in ink.

"Your family is traveling?"

Carrying a pen and looking at the drawing paper, Lian Ge asked out loud,

"Yes, isn't this just the child's holiday, thinking that we have been busy with work on weekdays, and the child is handed over to his grandmother, and he has not been with him very well, so I thought that I would take advantage of the time to take the child and the family out to have a good time. The child's mother smiled and replied,

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, didn't say anything more, and the brush he was carrying fell on the page with ink.

......

In front of the stall, the couple snuggled up to each other, smiling in their eyes, looking at their children,

And the child was on his feet, looking curiously at the picture on the table, on the page, changing with the brushstrokes.

And at the same time that Lian Ge was painting this picture for this family,

On the side, in front of the spring roll stall, the woman eating the spring rolls gradually stopped moving.

"Alright...... Enough is enough, no more. Lately, this appetite has always been a little bad, and I always feel a little nauseous when I eat too much. ”

The woman took another spring roll handed over by the stall owner, waved her hand and said,

"Also, no matter how delicious this is, it has to be ...... in moderation" Hearing this, the spring roll stall owner paused, raised his head and said with a smile,

"How much is ......" The woman nodded and asked aloud,

"Exactly thirty dollars......

After settling the bill, the woman turned her head and stood on the side of the road, turning her head to look at the sides,

Silent, after pausing in place, her gaze stopped in front of the Lian Ge booth next to her,

Looking at the couple snuggling and smiling happily, and the child looking curiously, the woman's vision was a little trance-like and a little distracted.

After a long time, a smile appeared on his face, and then the smile gradually disappeared, and he fell silent again.

Looking at the happy family, the woman moved away and walked towards Lian Ge's stall.

......

At the same time, in front of the stalls, on the bustling streets,

An old man who was walking while looking around also walked in front of Lian Ge's stall, and noticed a few people around the stall, the old man paused,

Looking at the people in front of the stall and Lian Ge behind the stall, the old man's eyes showed a trace of curiosity, and after a pause, he turned around and walked towards the stall.

......

Noticing the two extra people in front of the stall, Lian Ge raised his head and looked,

The woman stood on the right side of the stall, did not make a sound, nor did she look at Lian Ge who was clinging to the paintbrush, but looked at the child behind the stall in a daze, and the happy couple snuggling, her eyes were attentive and silent,

The old man was standing on the other side of the stall, wearing a single coat, his face was a little loose, his hair was gray, he looked about sixty years old, and his whole body was neatly cleaned up, and he looked meticulous.

At this moment, he was curiously looking at Lian Ge's brushstrokes on the drawing paper, although his eyes were a little cloudy, but his gaze seemed to be like that of a child behind the stall.

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge didn't say anything, and continued to draw the pen on the paper.

......

After a moment, Lian Ge put down his paintbrush and turned the painting down, facing the few people outside the stall.

"Take a look. ”

Following Lian Ge's voice, the couple in front of the stall, the old man, and the woman who was out of a trance, couldn't help but lower their heads and cast their eyes at the painting,

I saw that on the drawing paper,

It is a mountain landscape of mountains and mountains, and the thick mountains are smeared with ink, standing in the distance of the picture.

There are still traces of clouds and mist lingering in front of the mountain, covering the mountain behind the clouds.

Looking at this painting, looking at the mountain on the painting, the snuggling couple had some inexplicable feelings and some doubts,

And then, after the stall, the child went around the long table and returned to his parents.

"Mom, look, the mountain on the left is you, the one on the right is Dad, Mom, the hill in front of you and Dad is me......"

The child stood on tiptoe, looked at the painting, and said loudly as if offering a treasure.
