Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Ye turned his head and continued to look at her painting. When he turned to the next painting, he couldn't help but smile and put his right hand on the painting. made a comparison, "Do you have a knack for memorization?"

When Li Fei saw him say this suddenly, she immediately reached out to take the painting. The plate touched the drawing board, the fork slid and almost fell off.

Reaching out to steady the plate, he put the fork away, "It's a good drawing." It turns out that my hands look like this. He looked at the hand sketch again.

"The hands are all about the same, this is a very ordinary hand, and it just so happens that your hand matches the characteristics of my dictation, similar. Of course she had to deny it, she couldn't admit that she had peeked at him before.

"Really?" Lin Ye smiled, "Then thank you for not painting it as chicken feet." He put his hand on the painting again to compare, "The knuckles of the fingers are well drawn, your perspective is very accurate, I didn't even notice that my hands can be so beautiful." The cake is a thank you, and this painting was given to me. Seeing that she still hadn't eaten the cake, he had no choice but to say so.

Li Fei was surprised that he would say this, but it was just a silent painting, and she nodded and did not refuse again.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Ye saw her eating in small bites, like a kitten, very cute.

Li Fei swallowed the smooth and milky cake, a sweet vanilla smell lingered on the tip of her tongue, and she nodded.

She thought it was the best cake she had ever tasted, she had never eaten such a delicious cake, and she had only eaten it on her brother's birthday before, and she had almost forgotten what it tasted like.

Now all I remember is the vanilla flavor in my mouth......

Lin Ye smiled, turned his head away from looking at her, and continued to flip through her painting and asked, "Which school are you from?"

The question was asked again.

Li Fei saw him and asked again, she swallowed a mouthful of smooth cake and said, "Second middle school." He continued to look down at his painting. She couldn't see what he was thinking, and asked him, "What about you?"

"Yuxian Middle School. Lin Ye turned his head to look at her and asked directly, "Have you passed the art exam?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, she lowered her head and ate the last bite of cake.

He coughed lightly, and saw that she was still sitting with her knees together, and she was sitting in an orderly manner, holding an empty plate in her hands.

Thought she wouldn't answer.

"I'm not an art student. Li Fei looked at the street in front of her and said lightly, this is also the truth, she has never participated in special art training.

Looking at the street that was gradually darkening, neither of them spoke. Just sit on the steps.

Lin Ye reached out and took the plate in her hand and opened her mouth first, "Where did you sketch before? ”

Li Fei heard him ask, and turned his head to look at him, "Qingshi Street." She smiled, "Apparently business is better here." ”

Lin Ye looked at her shallow smile and understood what she said. He lowered his head and smiled, and put the plate on the right side, "Then you will sketch here in the future, you won't be able to set up a stall, there will be chengguan coming." ”

"Have you always sketched like this?" he asked again.

"Hmm. Li Fei just answered softly, and when he saw him get up, he thought he was leaving after work. She smiled and quickly got up and thanked, "Thank you for the cake, it's delicious." ”

Seeing that he was really not polite, he directly pulled out the painting she was holding in the drawing board.

"It's good if you like to eat, I'll continue to work, you go back early." Lin Ye scrolled the picture and beckoned to her. Turn around and go back to the store.

Li Fei wanted to say something, and opened his mouth slightly, but saw that he returned to the store and continued to be busy. She stood at the door in a daze, it was dinner time, and she didn't want to go back.

Lin Ye saw her standing at the door, and had no intention of leaving. He put down the cup in his hand, only to see a customer walk in the store.

Li Fei turned her head to see that there were still people coming in the store, so she had to sit on the steps, watching the customers coming in and out, and she didn't know how long she had been waiting. I saw that the sky soon darkened.

At the beginning of the day, the entrance of the street shopping mall is lit up with star-like lanterns.

I don't know how long it took, but knowing that she felt the coldness in her body, she realized that it was at night and she was wearing less clothes. It was cool at night, and she looked down at her clothes, which were wet and dry. Touching the money in my pocket, tonight will not be easy. In addition to making money, she just didn't want to go home.

Will they change their minds when they go back, there will be good news, and they will let themselves study in the Academy of Fine Arts?

She couldn't help but lose her mind as she thought about it......

By ten o'clock, the storefronts of the mall were closing one after another.

Lin Ye finished cleaning the store, and the other clerks also left. He set up his chair and turned his head to look out the window, seeing that she hadn't left. She was still sitting in that position, with a drawing board under her butt. Looking at the back image of a homeless kitten.

It was cold at night, so he quickly cleaned up, put the rag in his hand, and prepared to send her back.

Li Fei stood alone outside the bakery, and when she saw that the shops were closed, she decided to go back. Turning to look into the store, he saw that he was still there.

Lin Ye wanted to tell her to wait, so he hurriedly went to pick up the painting.

Li Fei was about to enter the store to say goodbye to him, but heard someone call him.

She could hear what seemed to be her mother's voice. She stepped back and turned to look not far away.

I saw that it was my mother and brother who came to find me. She frowned slightly, her mother and brother were here so late. Before she could think about it, she was already trotting towards the place where her mother and brother were walking not far away.

"Mom. She looked at her mother, her mood uncontrollable excitement and a little sour.

I really want to tell her, 'Mom, I got into ......'

She took a deep breath and coughed lightly to ease her mood. Seeing that his younger brother ran over first, he stopped and looked at his mother who was walking briskly. She didn't want to ask about the results of their discussion, and she didn't want to show it in front of her mother, so she could only pretend that she hadn't heard what happened at noon.

"Mom, why are you here? The sound was drowned out by the constant sound of running water from the fountain next to him.

"You kid, you haven't come home so late, we're all worried about death. Lin Fang finally found and beat her daughter, and finally let go of her hanging heart. Pulling her arm, I saw that she was still carrying the sketchpad on her back. She looked around, "How did you get here?"

Li Wenhao walked to his sister's side, took off his school uniform and threw it on her, "I wear so little, and I don't go home so late." He took the sketchpad his sister was carrying on his arm and carried it on his shoulder.

Li Fei took his school uniform, looked at it, and draped it directly on his body, which fit quite well.

"Did you make a lot of money today? Look at you not coming home for a day. Li Wenhao smiled, glanced at his sister, and didn't say anything.

She pursed her lips, nodded, and said, "Yes, it's better than on Bluestone Street." As she spoke, she took out all the money in her pocket and put it in her mother's hand.

"This ......" Lin Fang looked at the money in her hand, she didn't know what to say for a while, she raised her eyes to look at her daughter, and saw that she was no different from usual. She looked at her daughter and didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Fei saw that his mother was holding the money in her hand, and she didn't say anything when she looked at herself.

"Mother......" In fact, she was afraid to see her mother's eyes like this, and this kind of indebted look made her feel uneasy. At this moment, she was suddenly afraid that her mother would really tell her, tell her to give up, or say something sorry for herself.

Li Wenhao took the lead and said: "Mom, you see how capable my sister is, she has earned so much money in one day, put it away." Don't let the wind blow away. He was afraid that his mother would tell her what his grandmother said today.

"Yes! Our family Feifei is excellent, and he can make money by painting. Lin Fang smiled and nodded, put the money neatly, and looked at the money in her hand, this is the money her daughter got for a day of painting......

She looked very uncomfortable, she was still a student, she should study hard and draw hard.

She has never asked herself to attend any training courses or anything like that, and she has always been very sensible to share the burden for her family.

My daughter should go to college well and live happily for the rest of her life......

She looked at the old drawing board and felt guilty.

"Mom......" Li Fei saw that her mother was standing and didn't speak, she held her mother's arm, and saw her come back to her senses, "What's wrong?" she thought her mother really had something to say.

"Nothing. She took her daughter's hand to leave, and said with a smile, "Go, go home." ”

Li Fei suddenly remembered and didn't say a word to him. She turned to look at the bakery not far behind her, and saw that the door was closed, and she looked again, but there was no sign of him.

"What's wrong?" saw that her daughter turned her head to look behind her and did not move.

"It's fine. Let's go, go home......" Li Fei looked around, he didn't see him, he didn't know which way he was going, and wanted to say thank you to him.

Yuxian Middle School, did he also learn to paint? Will he take the painting with him!

In fact, Lin Ye didn't go far, he was next to the sculpture in the center of the mall, watching them gradually walk away.

He still had the painting in his hand and watched as she wore her brother's school uniform and held her mother's hand. The family looked very happy.

……

It was already late when they got home, and they didn't dare to wake up the people who had already slept in the house, so they all slowed down.

Li Fei returned to her room and took out the college acceptance letter under her pillow, she still didn't know whether to tell her mother.

Could it be that Mom has already found out?

She thought about it for a moment and decided to put the admission letter away.

Lying on the bed, thinking about what her grandmother said at that time, she hated to make it clear to her directly at that time. He never dared to speak, because his father was never on his side.

But what can I say, nothing can be changed. Grandma seems to have disliked herself since she was a child, just because she was a girl?

She tossed and turned, thinking of her father, who had always been very silent about herself. Since his father's car accident, the family has lost a lot of money. Now I don't even have the money to treat my father's leg.

Once again, she sensed the slimness of life. The hope of going to college is also slim.

She lay quietly with her eyes closed, her hands covering her eyes, and she couldn't stop the tears from coming out of her eyes.

My mind is full of thoughts and I want to make money to go to college and no longer rely on a penny from my family.

She turned sideways to wipe her tears, closed her eyes and forced herself to stop thinking, listened to the crickets, and gradually fell asleep.

Maybe it's because I'm too tired today.

She dreamed that she was still in front of the bakery, and that the vanilla smell of the cake was very sweet.

He made a beautiful cake in his hand......

The next day, Li Fei went out to paint very early.

But it was even more different in his dream, he didn't come to the store today.

He wasn't there, her business wasn't good, and there weren't many people painting at the end of the day.

Li Fei still persevered, under the scorching sun, she only earned about 100 yuan a day, she was even reluctant to eat more for lunch, so she bought two steamed buns to nibble on, and persevered for a day.

When I came home in the evening, I heard my mother stir-frying in the kitchen when I entered the door.

"Mom. She put down her drawing board and hurried into the kitchen to help her mother wash the vegetables.

Lin Fang saw that her daughter was back, lowered her head and continued to work, and said while frying: "It's almost good, you can help bring the dishes out!"

When Li Fei heard her mother say this, she helped put the washed vegetables into the basket and quickly brought them out.

As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, my grandmother came up to me. She was apprehensive in her heart, but she smiled slightly stiffly, and said, "Grandma, it's time to eat." ”

"Hmm. Su Zhen just answered slightly, and walked to the kitchen to wash her hands.

Li Fei was holding the food in his hand, stunned for a second, and saw that his grandmother was still with a straight face, and even when she first saw it, her face was even more ugly than before.

She frowned and continued to bring the food into the hall. After setting up the dishes and serving them, grandma came back and sat down.

"Hao Hao, come out to eat. Su Zhen sat at the dinner table and shouted.

Li Fei took the dishes and chopsticks and set them up, lowered his head and listened, continued to set the dishes and chopsticks silently, and turned around to go to the kitchen to bring out the rice.

Seeing her mother bring out a large bowl of hot soup, she reached out to help her mother bring it out.

Lin Fang blocked it with her elbow and didn't let her take it, so she turned her head and said to her, "Okay, I'll take it, you go and bring the rice out." I'm going to call your dad for dinner. ”

When Li Fei brought the meal into the house, his father was already sitting at the dining table. I saw my father sitting fixedly, his arms hanging down, his shoulders calm, and his originally blue and black hair, but since the car accident, there has been a lot of gray hair on his temples.

It looks very depressed.

She put the rice on the dining table, took a bowl and put a bowl of rice, and was about to give it to her grandmother. saw that her grandmother had a calm face and didn't look at her at all.

"Hao Hao, help grandma serve a bowl of rice. Su Zhen didn't look at her granddaughter.
