The next day, the sky was gray, and the whole mountain was shrouded in mist. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The rain has been falling since last night and is now getting lighter. Lan Jing sat at the door of the room and watched the raindrops "tick and tick" on the water in front of the eaves, dotting out a circle of ripples.
In her previous life, Lan Jing didn't like rainy days because visibility decreased and car accidents rose on rainy days. Looking at the living beings, they finally lay there miserably, even if they survived, they would have such and such defects. So, Lan Jing didn't like it.
And now she has a different mentality. She quietly watched as the rain washed the trees around her, and the trees stretched their branches and leaves, as if they had been given new life by the rain. She happily closed her eyes and breathed in the fresh air.
"Sister, teach me how to draw. I also wanted to make paintings that could sell for a lot of money. Lan Yue moved a small stool and sat next to Lan Jing and said.
Lan Jing turned her head to look at Lan Yue, saw the eagerness in her eyes, and thought to herself that this child would definitely be a money fan when he grew up. Suddenly I felt a little funny, so I smiled and said, "Learning to draw is very boring! Are you sure you can persevere?"
Lan Yue nodded, "I can." ”
"Okay, you go to the kitchen and get an egg and draw it until I think it's okay. Lan Jing also nodded and said.
Lan Yue opened her mouth wide and looked at Lan Jing in a daze.
Lan Jing glanced at her stunned appearance, and immediately leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.
"Eldest sister, you tease me. Lan Yue flattened her mouth and looked straight at Lan Jingdao.
Lan Jing laughed for a moment before stopping. took a deep breath, looked at Lan Yue seriously and said, "I didn't tease you, I drew thousands of eggs at that time." Start with the lines and move on to the eggs. You have to remember that nothing happens overnight. ”
Lan Yue nodded, "Eldest sister, I know." After thinking about it, he asked, "What does it mean to do it overnight?"
Lan Jing smiled: "It means that it will be successful all at once." ”
"Then, eldest sister, when did you draw thousands of them?Why don't you show me them?, do I have to draw thousands of them too?" Lan Yue thought for a moment and then asked.
Lan Jing sweated wildly, and said that he had leaked his mouth for a while. How should she be round now?
"Sister, my mother called you. When Lan Jing was thinking about it, Lan Xuan's heavenly voice sounded. Lan Jing hurriedly stood up, walked over, and secretly prayed in her heart: When she comes out, please forget what she just said.
In the room, Wang sat on the side and watched Lan Qi write. When he heard the footsteps, he looked up and said, "Sit down." ”
Lan Jing saw that her mother's attitude was a little abrupt, and she had a bad premonition, so she hurriedly sat down and looked at Qi'er's words, then stretched out her hand and gave her thumb and said with a smile: "Qi'er writes really well, better than your third brother." ”
When Lan Qi heard this, he showed a big smile and said sweetly: "Is it really better than what the third brother wrote? ”
Lan Jing smiled and said, "The mother's teaching is better than the master's teaching." After speaking, I looked at my mother and found that her expression softened a little, and I was busy giving myself a thumbs up in my heart.
Lan Qi listened and nodded heavily. I continued to write earnestly.
Lan Jing swallowed his saliva and laughed dryly.
"Yesterday something happened and suddenly forgot to ask you, what did you paint?" Wang looked at Lan Jing and said lightly.
"A picture of a lotus, a picture of a mountain, a picture of a lady. Lan Jing said seriously with his fingers.
"And then?" asked Wang.
Then there was no more, and I said to give it to him, and he insisted on giving it to him. I see that he is not short of silver, and if I don't take it, I will be embarrassed. And I've got a pen and paper to draw on it. Lan Jing replied.
Wang shook his head, "Jing'er, you grew up in the mountains, you don't understand the sinister world, and your mother doesn't know how to teach you to distinguish likes and dislikes. ”
Lan Jing nodded while listening, in fact, she didn't need to say it, she would pay attention to it in the future. After all, there is only one life, and if she accidentally meets the most vicious person, she will be done with the game.
Wang looked at Lan Jing with a serious attitude, and remembered what Xiang Gong said last night, Jing'er, a child, was afraid that she would be disappointed, so she secretly learned to write and paint.
No wonder he was able to take out the picture of ten thousand horses galloping at that time, and he couldn't say anything when he thought of this reprimand, so he let Lan Jing out after two words.
Under the eaves. Lan Yue and Lan Xiu were talking in a whisper, and when they saw Lan Jing coming out, they hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Eldest sister, what is my mother looking for you?"
"It's nothing, just talk casually. With that, he sat down.
"Then tell us about how you learned to draw eggs. Lan Yue looked very interested.
Lan Jing was helpless, thought for a while and said: "I was six years old at the time, and when I saw my mother's embroidery and thought it was very beautiful, I silently thought about drawing one myself, and then I began to draw on the ground with a stick, and I drew on the leaves with charcoal. After that, the more you draw, the better. ”
In fact, Lan Jing's previous life to learn calligraphy and painting was influenced by his grandparents and grandmother, two Chinese professors, writing a good hand is necessary to be a Chinese teacher, and the second elder also trained Lan Jing in the direction of a Chinese teacher.
Of course, it is also because Lan Jing is interested. She loves to draw and the feeling of being immersed in it. I like the satisfaction of seeing my own drawings.
"Then should I also draw on the ground with a stick?" Lan Yue muttered to herself.
Lan Jing patted her with a smile and said, "In the past, it was because there was no extra pen and paper at home, but now that I have money, I can practice with confidence." ”
Lan Jing turned his head to look at Lan Xiu. Lan Xiu hurriedly shook her head, "I'd better learn to be a female celebrity, I can't learn to draw." ”
Lan Jing smiled, turned his head to look at Lan Yue, and was about to instruct Lan Yue to draw eggs.
Yangjia Village, the village chief's house.
Lan Youfu sat in the hall, and the old village chief sat opposite.
Zhao, the daughter-in-law of the old village chief, walked in with tea and said with a smile: "Half an hour ago, the Shugen family and the Tie Gang family had a quarrel again, and Brother Dazhi was called away. Take a sip of hot tea first, Brother Dazhi should be back soon. After saying that, he retreated.
Watching the Zhao family walk away, Lan Youfu turned his head to look at the old village chief and said, "Uncle Yang, I came today for some business. I want to buy the mountain where I live now, what do you say?"
"You stupid boy, what are you going to do when you buy a mountain, if you have enough money, you can buy some land, and if you can't grow it yourself, you can rent it to someone else. That way, at least you don't have to buy food. The old village chief said anxiously.
Lan Youfu lowered his head and said: "A few days ago, I happened to save a nobleman, he gave a large sum of silver, thinking that he was used to living in the mountains, so he simply bought it, so as not to buy it when others bought it, and had to move." After speaking, he felt a little guilty in his heart, this was the first time he lied in front of the old village chief.
The old village chief didn't pay attention to his words, nor did he ask how much silver the nobleman gave, but only repeated vigorously: It's too wasteful to buy a mountain, even if it's the silver given by the nobleman, it can't be wasted. Both of them are too bad at living.
As he was talking, the new village chief Yang Dazhi came back, and when he saw Lan Youfu, he smiled and said, "Why is Brother Lan here?"
Before Lan Youfu could speak, the old village chief had already taken the lead, "Dazhi, quickly persuade Youfu, what kind of mountain to buy, if you have silver, buy some land." ”
Yang Dazhi looked at Lan Youfu in surprise and asked, "Brother Lan wants to buy a mountain?"
"Yes," Lan Youfu nodded, repeating the same set of words he had said to the old village chief.
Yang Dazhi listened and pondered for a while. Then he looked up at his father, then at Lan Youfu, and said seriously: "No one has bought the mountain since ancient times, so I don't know if I can buy it, so let's do it, I'll go to the county with you to ask in a few days,"
After speaking, he kept looking at Lan Youfu and saw him nod. He also said: "You also think about it again, that matter has been forgotten for so many years, there are so many snakes, insects, rats and ants on the mountain, and the children are small, it is very inconvenient for your family to live in the mountains, it is better to go back to the village to live." ”
"I don't want to go back to the village, so I can live in the town. In the past, I couldn't bear to persuade you, because I knew that you had a heavy burden, and there were many children and you had to study, but now, I have to think about the children, people live in groups. And Xiaohao is not small, living in the mountains, how can you say kiss?"
"For more than ten years, I'm used to it," Lan Youfu sighed and said,
Seeing him like this, Yang Dazhi knew that he remembered what happened many years ago, and he didn't say anything anymore.
Lan Youfu proposed to leave, and the old village chief pulled him to stay with Lan Youfu for breakfast before leaving.
Lan Youfu couldn't shirk it, so he stayed.
