Chapter 8 Look at the Paintings
Li Tong and Lao Gun, two old men, carried a huge oil painting on the main road of the Zhongyang Academy of Fine Arts, which attracted the attention of pedestrians after a while.
Most of the people who walk in the Academy of Fine Arts are students and teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts, so most of them know how to draw.
Although this kind of scene of two people carrying paintings is not uncommon in Zhongyang Academy of Fine Arts, Li Tong's paintings still attract a lot of burning eyes today.
Because the colors of the painting are so rich and bright, the painting technique is also very special. Students along the way stop whenever they touch the painting.
Li Tong's ears kept coming with praise from strangers and praise from acquaintances.
"What a great drawing!"
"This painting is going to win the rhythm of the award."
"Look over there, what level of senior brother in our academy painted it? It's amazing. ”
"Li Tong, this is the painting you want to exhibit? That's great! ”
"That's it, Li Tong! If you win a prize, you're in for a treat! ”
"Yo yo, Li Tong, you painted this, don't go, don't go! Let me take a look twice~"
Li Tong was panting under the weight of the painting, while dealing with the people around him.
At this time, Bai Mengting was wearing a pure white sleeveless dress, draped in flowing black hair, riding a shared bicycle, and passed by Li Tong flutteringly.
She just glanced at Li Tong's painting casually, but suddenly the dragon's head shook violently from side to side, and then the white calf propped up, braked the car, and asked in surprise: "Li Tong, is this what you painted?"
"Hmm." Li Tong nodded.
"Tongzi, my arm is sore. Why don't we take a break? ”
Lao Gun saw that it was Bai Mengting and knew that Li Tong had a good impression of her, so he deliberately put down the painting and leaned against a big tree on the side of the road.
"This painting...... It's really good~~~~ I've never seen this kind of painting before, Li Tong, how did you come up with this? Bai Mengting simply stepped off the car, kicked off the foot of the bicycle, and lowered her head to slowly admire Li Tong's work.
Li Tong was secretly proud, and the works of Claude Monet, a master of impressionism and a genius of visual observation, were indeed infinitely lethal. As soon as the painting came out of the bedroom door, it caused such a big sensation. In the words of the second fat, this is the rhythm of throwing the king fried directly!
"How did you draw it?" Bai Mengting was a little curious. She knew that Li Tonghua was good at painting, but she would never reach the realm of such a master at once, and there should be a master behind him.
"I ......" Li Tongzheng wanted to make a perfunctory excuse for Bai Mengting.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Li Tong looked down and saw that it was his father calling.
"I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone first." Li Tong said hello to Bai Mengting, but Bai Mengting's eager eyes made it clear that she couldn't wait to know the answer.
But when the call came, there was no way, Bai Mengting pouted Yin Tao's small mouth, wait!
"Dad, what's the matter?"
"Tongzi." The voice of Li Tong's father came from the other end of the phone.
Li Tong's father contracted a pond in the countryside of Jiangnan, and usually raised fish and harvested lotus root and water chestnut for a living. Because he has to go to the pond to work during the day, he usually calls Li Tong in the morning and evening.
Li Tong's father called Li Tong last night, Li Tong didn't listen because he was in a hurry to paint, and Li Tong's father was worried about this early morning and hurriedly called again.
"Tongzi, you're fine, right? Haven't you worked hard to paint these two days? The exhibition you talked about last time, of course, it's good to win an award, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, kid, don't be too stressed. ”
Li Tong's father tossed and turned all night, and felt that Li Tong's lack of phone calls in the past two days might be related to the exhibition he talked about when he called back last time.
Li Tong's father was a farmer, he didn't understand art, but he was a good father and wholeheartedly supported his son's studies and career.
At that time, when Li Tong applied for an art college in the college entrance examination, someone in the village persuaded Li Tong's father, saying that the cost of studying art was high, and it was not easy to find a job if he came out to study pure art.
But Li Tong's father asked Li Tong what he thought, and Li Tong said that no matter what he did, he would make some achievements, he liked to paint, and wanted to keep painting.
Li Tong's father listened to Li Tong, and without saying a word, he sold a small pickup truck for transporting goods at home, and made up enough tuition for Li Tong for the first year.
In the past few years, Li Tong's father has rented his second uncle's van to transport goods, not to mention that it is very inconvenient, if the car bumps a little, it depends on the face of the old woman of his second aunt.
Of course, Li Tong is also very competitive, and he has been receiving various scholarships for four years in college. Li Tong didn't dare not be angry, every step of his way was paved for him by his father kneeling.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm confident. I didn't answer your phone last night, I was drawing, don't think about it. Li Tong explained to his father.
"That's good." Li Tong's father's voice came from the mobile phone, and he could still hear that he was a little tired, "Do you still have any money recently?" Is there enough money? Would you like to send you some money? You're about to graduate, so let's have a game with everyone, and finally invite everyone to dinner, don't be reluctant to pay. ”
"Well, okay. Dad, don't worry, I have money. If you don't sleep well at night, don't go down to the pond this morning and pay attention to your body. ”
Li Tong patiently comforted his father. He knew that his dad was a worried person, so when talking to him, he should not only pay attention to the words, but also pay attention to the tone, try to be soft, and not cause his dad to be anxious.
Bai Mengting, who was listening to Li Tong's phone call, although she didn't understand the dialect of Li Tong's hometown, she could still tell from the intermittent words and Li Tong's tone that he was talking to his family on the phone.
Nowadays, many young people are generally very impatient when talking to their parents on the phone, Li Tong's tone is patient and gentle, and he can't help but leave a good impression in Bai Mengting's heart.
"What were you going to ask me just now?" Li Tong closed the phone and immediately asked Bai Mengting.
"I ......" Bai Mengting looked at Li Tong's eyes, and suddenly forgot what she was going to ask just now.
"Then I'll go to the studio first, Professor Wei is still waiting for me."
Li Tong glanced at the time on his mobile phone, and the old gun raised the painting again and walked towards the studio.
Bai Mengting looked at Li Tong's back as she lifted the painting, as if she remembered something important, and hurriedly praised the little yellow car and stepped towards her studio.
She had to report to Professor Qu what she saw on the road. This is definitely not a trivial matter......
Li Tong and Lao Gun finally carried the painting to the Academy of Fine Arts, and the hour hand pointed to three o'clock.
Professor Wei made a pot of Pu'er and was waiting for Li Tong.
Since the painting was brought into the studio, it was facing Professor Wei on the back, so Professor Wei thought that Li Tong brought the original painting.
"Well, be smart! After repainting the painting for you, I have to go to the Tianjing Dihua Zoo to pick up horses. Professor Wei looked at Li Tong and Lao Gun's clumsy appearance and complained.
Professor Wei is particularly proud that when he was as old as Li Tong and Lao Gun, let alone a mere oil painting, it was a bronze sculpture more than one meter high, and he could still carry it up to the fifth floor on his back without breathing.
These young people now, how to move something is like not eating for three days.
"Professor Wei, the painting has been brought in."
Saying that, Li Tong and the old gun changed positions and turned their drawings upside down! Li Tong's "Water Lilies" was exposed to Professor Wei at this time.
Ooh! ~~
Professor Wei Qun almost choked himself on the sip of Pu'er tea he took in his mouth.
"Ahem!! cough cough cough !! cough cough cough cough !!! ”
Li Tong knew that he was in trouble, so he hurriedly walked up to help Professor Wei stroke his back.
"Ahem!! Ahem!! Li Tong, don't give me a masturbation. You...... You go and fix this picture for me. Professor Wei pinched his chest and ordered, "Old gun, go and turn on the light for me." ”
