On this year's National Day, Lin Xiao's friends in the art circle just wanted to organize a wind collection activity, and Lin Xiao suggested going to the ancient capital of Luopu, where there are mountains and rivers, profound culture and a long history. The crowd agreed.

Lin Xiao took Xue Bing and returned to Luopu City ahead of schedule without following the team.

I grabbed two sleeper tickets and lay on the sleeper and looked at the scenery outside the window.

From the small bridges and flowing water in the south, the beautiful mountains and rivers, to the fertile fields of the Central Plains, there are endless eyes, relaxed and relieved, and the mood is happy.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a year, and Lin Xiao returned to Luopu for the first time, and she was very excited.

Xue Bing has been away from home for more than half a year, and along the way, he told Lin Xiao interesting things about his family, looked happy, and slowly fell asleep.

Lin Xiao was excited, lying in the car, thinking of the grass and trees on the campus of Luopu University, the bits and pieces of university life, and the people and events over the years......

I remembered the passion and impulse when I just entered the university, but also remembered the frustration and loss, I remembered Yin Ruoqing, who was both talented and beautiful, I remembered the unjust case, I remembered the grievances with hatred, Luohe saved people, and met Secretary Xue......

and Teacher Song Weiwei, who discovered herself back then, without her discernment, Lin Xiao would not have the opportunity to show her talent; I remembered Teacher Hu, who carefully cultivated herself, without his enthusiastic help and recommendation, Lin Xiao would not have the opportunity to study for graduate school...... even remembered Zheng Weiting, a close friend who once put his heart into his heart, but finally plotted against himself......

Arriving at Luopu, getting on the bus, and looking at the familiar city in front of him, the sentimental Lin Xiao burst into tears again.

Picked up the mobile phone and took wild pictures, recording this good memory, and sending photos to the QQ space from time to time, which almost became a live webcast, and the students saw it and liked and commented one after another.

Chen Jun turned on his mobile phone, saw it on the Internet, praised Lin Xiao, and commented:

"It's such a coincidence, I'm talking about business in Luopu!"

"It's a coincidence, we have time to drink together!" Lin Xiao replied.

"Medium!" replied Chen Jun.

Fang Xiaoqing also saw the photos on the Internet and commented:

"Remember to eat a big plate of chicken!"

Lin Xiao saw it and replied:

"It's a must, Nana big plate chicken on Longxiang Street! drooling!"

Xue Bing saw that Lin Xiao was very busy, leaned on Lin Xiao, and said:

"Look at what excites you!"

"I'm really excited, I have deep feelings for Luopu!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

When I arrived at Secretary Xue's house, my wife Guo Jiazhen was preparing dinner, and saw that my beloved daughter Xue Bing came back with Lin Xiao, and saw Lin Xiao for the first time.

The home of the city official is spacious and bright, neat and simple, and there are Lin Xiao's paintings hanging in the study.

"Lin Xiao, come and take a look, your principal Xue likes your painting very much, framed it, and hung it on the wall!

"This, I really don't dare to take it!" Lin Xiao hurriedly said.

"A good painting is a good painting! Don't be modest!" Shi Niang continued to praise.

Xue Bing blushed, tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes, and sprinkled coquettishly:

"Mom, I want to hang one in my bedroom too!"

Shi Niang laughed:

"I'll get it for you when I have time!"

Lin Xiao was also embarrassed.

After chatting about some things about study and life, the teacher went to the kitchen to work.

Xue Bing took Lin Xiao and looked at his warm and romantic boudoir, his face was red, and a happy expression was written on his face.

Lin Xiao also blushed and said:

"Bingbing, you have a warm home, I envy you!"

"You have it too, we are a family!" Xue Bing said with affection.

"Well, I have it too, and I'm very happy!" Lin Xiao said with tears in her eyes.

……

After waiting for a long time, Secretary Xue Runchuan finally returned home.

Lin Xiao took Xue Runchuan into the house at the door, and Xue Runchuan said with a smile:

"Lin Xiao, I haven't seen you for a while!

"Principal Xue, you have also lost weight!But the people of Luopu are blessed!" Lin Xiao looked at the tired Xue Runchuan and said.

"The fact that the common people can live a good life is because of the good policies of the party and the state!" Now that the economy is developing rapidly, there are too many things, there are also many loopholes, and there are lawless businessmen and corrupt elements who want to embezzle state-owned assets at the opportunity, which makes me upset!" Xue Runchuan sat down and said.

"You are highly respected, the people like you, respect you, and have the support of the people, you will definitely be able to deal with these troubles!" Lin Xiao poured tea for Principal Xue and said.

At present, our government system also has some shortcomings, and it needs to be constantly improved and improved. Things are far more complicated than imagined, in short, there is a long way to go!" Xue Runchuan said meaningfully.

"Principal Xue, I don't understand politics, I only know, 'seek government in his position', you are a good official!" Lin Xiao said.

"It's good that you don't understand some things! Now that you and Xue Bing are both engaged in art, I'm very pleased! Pursue your ideals, have no distractions, and do what you want in the art world, how happy you are!" Xue Runchuan said with emotion.

"Principal Xue is now the number one leader in Luopu City, is there a time when he is embarrassed?" Lin Xiao asked.

"There are so many things to be embarrassed about! There are some things that I can't tell you. You two should do a good job in art! Your paintings have depth and new ideas, and they can move me, I like it very much!" Xue Runchuan said with a smile.

"Dad, as soon as you come back, you talk about so many work things, and you make it very heavy, and you don't let us eat well!" Xue Bing was a little unhappy.

"Okay! Baby daughter is angry, I can't afford to mess with it, come, eat! Lin Xiao and I want to have a few drinks tonight!" Xue Runchuan said with a smile.

"Principal Xue, you are busy with work and your health is important, drink less, I will drink more for you!" Lin Xiao said.

……

Lin Xiao was in a good mood, drank too much, and stayed in the guest room at night.

When he woke up the next day, Xue Runchuan had already gone to the municipal party committee for a meeting.

After breakfast, Lin Xiao took Xue Bing to his alma mater, Luopu University.

It's a holiday, and the campus seems to be very deserted, and occasionally I see a few students, in groups of three or five, chasing and fighting.

The weeping willows by the Qin Lake are swaying in the breeze, and there are scattered fallen leaves. October in Luopu, Central Plains, is already a little chilly.

Lin Xiao found the stone bench when he was painting, sat down quietly with Xue Bing, leaned on each other, recalling that summer, painting here day and night: Qin Lake, small pavilion, weeping willows, lotus leaves, aquatic plants, fish, water birds, faint hills in the distance...... Lin Xiao also told Xue Bing about Luopu's study experience and the reason for abandoning his art, Xue Bing listened attentively and was also very moved, and he deeply loved this chivalrous and courageous Lin Xiao in his heart.

Lin Xiao suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from a distance.

Lin Xiao turned his head to look, and a white-haired old man, supported by a little girl, walked and chatted, and slowly walked towards this side.

Lin Xiao recognized it, it was Teacher Hu!

Lin Xiao hurriedly greeted him and greeted:

"Teacher Hu, I haven't seen you for more than a year!

Teacher Hu was very surprised, he also recognized Lin Xiao at a glance, and said with a smile:

"It's Lin Xiao! Why are you back? We were still talking about your work just now!"

Lin Xiao replied:

"Our Sanchuan art circle is taking advantage of the National Day holiday to hold a wind collection activity in Luopu, so I will stop by to see my alma mater! I also wanted to visit you, but I didn't expect to meet you here!

After speaking, he beckoned Mr. Hu to sit down.

Teacher Hu and the little girl sat down, and Lin Xiao and Xue Bing stood aside.

Lin Xiao asked:

"Who is this girl?"

Teacher Hu smiled:

"It's my granddaughter, and she's only in her second year of junior high school this year. ”

Lin Xiao praised:

"The little girl is beautiful!"

The girl smiled shyly.

Teacher Hu looked at Xue Bing next to Lin Xiao and asked:

"Lin Xiao, this girl is your girlfriend, right?"

Lin Xiao hurriedly replied:

"Yes, Xue Bing, we are both studying at the South China Academy of Fine Arts, and she is studying fashion design!"

Xue Bing blushed a little and said:

"Hello Mr. Hu! I used to hear Lin Xiao mention you, but you are his Bole!"

Teacher Hu smiled happily and said:

"Great, you must have a lot of common language. Lin Xiao, I know all about your performance in graduate school at the South China Academy of Fine Arts! You became famous at a young age, don't be proud!"

林潇 says:

"Teacher Hu has won the award! Where do I have the capital to be proud of!"

Mr. Hu continued:

"It is very rare for you to win so many academic awards in China at your age! There are few people in China who can do it, and the future is immeasurable! I often tell my current students, including my granddaughter, that they all adore you!"

Lin Xiao smiled:

"Teacher Hu really thinks too highly of this student of yours!

The little girl next to her interjected:

"Uncle Lin Xiao, we young people really like your paintings!"

Teacher Hu smiled:

"Hear me, my granddaughter, that's from the bottom of my heart!"

Lin Xiao said humbly:

"I'm not used to calling me uncle, I'm not that big! Thank you, little sister! I will choose to be a professional painter in the future, but this road is not easy!"

Teacher Hu and the little girl were happy.

Teacher Hu continued:

"Lin Xiao, since you choose the path of a professional painter in the future, you will go on firmly! If you have time to go out and walk more, write sketches, be close to life, close to nature, and your works can move people more! Don't be overly commercialized, artists should follow their inner pursuits and establish lofty ideals, Mr. Hu is very optimistic about you! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me! Go back to your alma mater more often, we are all proud of you!"

Lin Xiao said excitedly:

"Okay, Mr. Hu, don't worry!"

A few people walked around the school and chatted about a lot of past events, and before they knew it, at noon, Lin Xiao invited Teacher Hu to dinner for the first time, and she was in a good mood and drank a few glasses.

Later, talking about the news in Luopu City, Lin Xiao said:

"Our Luopu City has developed rapidly in recent years, the people have lived a good life, and some corrupt officials have also been investigated and punished according to law, which is really happy!"

Teacher Hu nodded and said:

"There are also some problems with the appearance of prosperity, and there are some rumors among the people. ”

"What problem, what rumors?" Lin Xiao hurriedly asked.

"Secretary Xue of the Municipal Party Committee is recognized by the people as a good official and a clean official. In addition, in order to safeguard the interests of the state, he tried his best to prevent the loss of state-owned mineral assets in Iwakawa County, and he also offended businessmen with a big background. Folk rumors say that Secretary Xue may be transferred......" Teacher Hu's face showed sadness.

Lin Xiao and Xue Bing were both a little worried in their hearts and looked at each other.

"When I graduated and left Luopu last year, I heard someone say it in the car, and I thought someone was deliberately spreading ......rumors," Lin Xiao said.

"I hope this is just a rumor! We are all ordinary people, and we don't know a lot of truths! It's better to engage in art, have no distractions, and be indifferent to ambition. Teacher Hu sighed.

"Teacher Hu said it very well, indifferent and ambitious, quiet and far-reaching!" Lin Xiao said.

The master and apprentice drank a few more glasses, a little drunk, and went home.

In the next few days, Lin Xiao didn't see Xue Runchuan, appeased the master, took Xue Bing, and went out with the group to collect wind.

Chen Jun called Lin Xiao, saying that there was a breakthrough in the work of the Luopu branch, and he was in a good mood and wanted to invite Lin Xiao to drink.

Lin Xiao said that it was inconvenient to sketch outside. The two did not meet in the city of Luopu.

Before leaving, Lin Xiao wanted to meet Teacher Song Weiwei, but unfortunately on this year's National Day, Teacher Song Weiwei went out on a trip and didn't see her.

A few days after the National Day, Lin Xiao and friends from the Sanchuan Art Circle sketched, photographed, and collected wind in Luopu City and the surrounding scenic spots, and the time passed quickly.

Before leaving, Lin Xiao left a letter to Secretary Xue, expressing his ambition to revitalize Chinese painting, respecting the principal and reminding him to take precautions.

Bidding farewell to her sister and Luopu, Lin Xiao returned to Sanchuan City with Xue Bing.

On the way, Xue Bing was worried, Lin Xiao was kind and reassuring, he believed that a good official like Secretary Xue won the hearts of the people, and he would definitely be able to continue to make great achievements.

The unexpected is coming......
