After chatting with Mr. Li for a few words and getting acquainted with the relationship between the two parties, Mr. Li took Zhou Fangyuan to visit the class.

The studio is small in size, with only about 30 students, most of whom are elementary school students, none junior high school students, and less than 10 high school students.

Zhou Fangyuan followed Mr. Li into the studio and immediately attracted the attention of all the students. Looking at it, the elementary school students didn't talk about it, and he didn't know it, but the less than ten high school students, Zhou Fangyuan was very familiar with it.

and Li Yuechao, who has known him since he was a child, Cheng Dapeng, who has big eyes and small eyes and thinking that is different from ordinary people, and Duan Xiao, who will become his best friend in the future...... For other people, the relationship with Zhou Fangyuan is very ordinary, and he can only think of names.

"Come, let's stop for a moment, and I'll introduce you to ......"

Teacher Li clapped her hands and motioned for everyone to stop what they were doing, and when everyone looked at them—in fact, there was no need for her to remind them, and the other students had already stopped what they were doing.

"This is Zhou Fangyuan, your new classmate, Li Yuechao, you should know him. ”

Teacher Li looked at Li Yuechao as he spoke.

Li Yuechao nodded and did not speak.

"You can be regarded as playmates who have grown up together since childhood, I hope that during the period when Zhou Fangyuan comes to study, you can get along with him, grow and improve together, and be admitted to a good university together in the future, this is the teacher's greatest expectation for you. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Whether it was from the heart or pretending, in short, as soon as Mr. Li's voice fell, the students clapped their hands, and their voices were very neat, obviously they have experienced this kind of scene I don't know how many times.

"Okay, Zhou Fangyuan will start to officially study art tomorrow, today I just let you know, what should you do, Tong Liyang, what about you, hurry up and start painting, what are you in a daze!"

This Teacher Li's face change is also a must, the one who was smiling one second was a kind old lady, and the next second she became strict. Including Li Yuechao, everyone turned around to paint again, and Teacher Li took Zhou Fangyuan to the teacher's corner.

"Have you ever learned to draw before?"

Walking to the wall with all the "fine" paintings, Mr. Li asked Zhou Fangyuan.

"I've studied for a while, but I haven't studied deeply. ”

Zhou Fangyuan replied half-truthfully.

If Mr. Li asks about his two lives combined, then he has studied very seriously, and his art test scores are better than most art students in the college entrance examination. But if you ask him about this life, he can only say that he has indeed only studied for a while, and that he said this several years ago.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't studied, as long as you study hard, there are still two years before the college entrance examination, which is enough for you to learn something. ”

Teacher Li continued to ask.

This is also the proper meaning of the question, after all, most of the high school students who still come to learn painting at this time are in order to lower the admission standards for cultural courses during the college entrance examination.

It is an indisputable fact that the cultural performance requirements of art candidates are indeed lower than those of pure culture candidates, and some students with poor academic performance, in order to be able to be admitted to a good university, choose to take the road of art, which is also a way to further their studies, which is understandable.

"My grades weren't too good, sixth in my class and twenty-first in my grade. ”

Zhou Fangyuan replied.

His grades themselves are not too good, if he does not continue to improve, the twenty-first in the whole grade, can only guarantee that he can be admitted to one, as for a key university, or Tsinghua University and Peking University, at least he must be in the top fifteen.

And the test scores, the more you go up, the less room for improvement, so in the eyes of real top students, this score can only be regarded as average, not good.

However, when Teacher Li heard this result, he was stunned, "Twenty-first in the whole grade? ”

"Well, I'm going to be able to get into one. ”

"Then why are you still ......?"

Still learning to draw?

Can Zhou Fangyuan say that he has many, many complicated thoughts? No, he just chuckled and shook his head.

"I like to draw, I've always wanted to learn to paint, I didn't have this condition at home before, and I stopped learning after a few days, but now that the conditions at home are better, I want to pick this thing up again. It doesn't matter whether it can be used to get into college, the important thing is that studying art can improve one's aesthetic ability and sentiment. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

But Mr. Li couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"There are really not many children like you now, most students want to rely on art to take the college entrance examination, and there are few people who really like art and are willing to spend time learning art. ”

"Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you don't, Mr. Li, there are still people who like art. ”

"Well, I believe you when I see you. ”

Mr. Li nodded, "By the way, do you still have your old art tools? ”

"Pencils, erasers, crayons or something...... But it's all gone, you see what I need to prepare, I'll have to start from scratch. ”

"Drawing boards are definitely needed, as well as pencil erasers and plastic erasers, come with me, I have a full set of tools here. ”

Teacher Li said, leaving the teacher with Zhou Fangyuan and returning to the office. When Zhou Fangyuan was in the office before, he saw all kinds of tools piled up in the corner, including drawing boards, easels, paints, paint boxes, as for pencils, erasers, watercolor pens and so on, these sensible things are even more necessary.

Mr. Li bent down to rummage through a large pile of art tools, helping Zhou Fangyuan prepare all the tools he needed, as well as paper and so on. In the end, it all adds up, and it's a lot of stuff.

"If you don't have much experience studying art before, let's start with still life sketching, you can do without these watercolor paints and tools for the time being......"

Teacher Li said, preparing to take back the paints, paint boxes, watercolor pens and buckets that he had already picked out.

At least sort out a set, and give it to Zhou Fangyuan directly when he needs it.

"Teacher Li, you have the final say, you can arrange a study plan for me. By the way, how much does it cost you to learn painting here, I just brought the money, I'll pay your tuition first......"

All the money left over from buying a mobile phone before was left to Liu Yiling by Zhou Fangyuan, probably a few thousand yuan, which is really not a small amount in this era.

When he came out of Liu Yiling's house, he only had less than 100 change left in his pocket, so when he passed by, he took another 3,000 yuan, on the one hand, as a weekday expense, and on the other hand, he was also ready to come over to apply for art classes to pay tuition.

"Hey, what kind of tuition do you want, Meiyun's son came to study and I still have tuition, let Wenying know that I can't say that my aunt is too stingy, okay, if you want to learn, you can come directly, and you don't have to pay tuition." ”

With a wave of his hand, Mr. Li wanted to give Zhou Fangyuan free tuition.

It was the same in the previous life, when Zhou's mother insisted on giving it, Zhou Fangyuan was also puzzled and asked his mother specifically.

And his mother's answer made him keep it in mind, "No matter how short of money our family is, we can't miss your tuition money, we are learning for free now, which is equivalent to leaving each other behind, and favors are the most expensive, if we can not owe it, we will not owe it." ”

This statement, right or wrong, but in fact, sometimes it is meaningful to owe a favor. This is not just to save money, you owe me favors, I owe you favors, and when you owe each other a debt and pay it back, the relationship will slowly get better. How is the network built, and isn't it just like that?

So it is definitely not a bad thing to owe favors, of course, the specific situation has to be specifically distinguished, such as Mr. Li's favor, it doesn't matter if you owe it or not. Anyway, Zhou Fangyuan doesn't really want to take the road of art, he mainly has other reasons, so there will definitely not be too many opportunities to deal with Mr. Li in the future.

And then again, owing favors is a way to get along, and not owing favors is also a way to get along, not to say that two people can't get acquainted if they don't owe favors. What's more, he really didn't have to deal with the money now, so he shook his head with a smile.

"Teacher Li, my mother settled me before I came, and she knew that you would be like this, so he asked me to pay you the tuition fee. Just tell me how much it is, I will definitely give it, otherwise I will not be scolded to death by my mother when I go home. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"This little Meiyun, I haven't seen her for so many years, and she still has that serious temper. Well, I know you're not short of money right now, so you can just give me 500 a month, three nights a week, and any day on Saturday and Sunday. ”

Teacher Li shook his head and sighed and said, but Zhou Fangyuan only refused once and borrowed the donkey from the slope, obviously not really didn't want the money.

As for why she knew that the Zhou family was rich, the reason was very simple, because Zhao Wenying knew. Aunt Zhao still has a very good relationship with her aunt, and it is normal to tell the news.

"Okay, I'll give you a quarter first. ”

Zhou Fangyuan nodded, counted out one thousand and five and put it on the table.

Then there was nothing to do, and after agreeing that he could come over to study after school tomorrow afternoon, Zhou Fangyuan said goodbye and left.

Looking at the back of him driving away, Mr. Li stood in the corridor on the second floor and kept shaking his head.

"This Meiyun, it's really turned over. ”

She sighed, with a little envy in her eyes, after all, people love money, and teachers are not exempt from vulgarity. However, when she thought of her daughter, a sense of pride arose, although she was far from being successful in her life, but the students she taught and her daughter were also a huge wealth, even if she was not as rich as the Zhou family, but it was better than most people.

The so-called lack of the upper is more than the bottom, and the mentality of the elderly is still very good.
