Chapter VII
Of course, this painting, which fetched a sky-high price of hundreds of millions of dollars, has no name yet, and it is still deeply disgusted by its owner. Because Su Qingjia asked Carlos to bring the painting back by himself.
Carlos: Ignore me, I want to be quiet, and don't ask me who Jingjing is.
Drawing: o()o blame me?
Put away the painting and walk further on, and you will reach the end of Las Ramblas, where there stands a sculpture and the whole square is named after him.
Columbus, the greatest tramp of the entire century.
Five hundred years ago, he believed that the earth was round. In search of seafaring assistance, he wandered all the way from Italy. The sculpture, built in honor of Christopher Columbus, who crossed the Atlantic four times, is 60 meters tall and points his finger to the sea, extending in the direction of the New World he once discovered.
"Carlos, do you know this sculpture?" Su Qingjia asked the young man who had been a little sluggish since he left the painter, she could feel that he was in a bad mood, but forgiving this little brother's cold face was too powerful, and Su Qingjia didn't understand why he was in a bad mood.
Carlos bit his lower lip, struggled for a while, and said, "Well, he is Columbus, who once discovered the New World with the financial support of the Spanish crown. After thinking about it, he added, "Everyone in Barcelona knows it." โ
"At that time he was convinced that the earth was round, and no one believed that he could succeed, but he did it in the end." For so many days, Carlos's hard work Su Qingjia saw in his eyes, "Before Columbus came to Spain, he was so poor that he was penniless, but he discovered the New World. โ
She was encouraging him, and Carlos understood what she meant.
"The first three times Columbus failed, but it only took one success and it was enough, and he raised the money and embarked on a fourth voyage, building on the experience of the first three times, and this time he succeeded. The hardships of life are the cornerstone of growth. All these hardships and hardships, as long as they do not knock you down, will add a weight to your success. Su Qingjia turned his head to look at him, "Carlos, you are the best." Edison has failed so many times, you are only once, what are you afraid of! โ
Behind her was the vast ocean, and seagulls took off and landed around her, the wet wind blowing her black hair, and her eyes were the color of glass.
At that time, the sun was pouring into the city.
He seems to have found a reason not to give up.
"I'm going to make it!" Carlos shouted at her, "Ahh
Su Qingjia was also infected, and turned to the sea and shouted: "Ahh
The two looked at each other and smiled. Then they chased and fought in Columbus Square, and would also ask passers-by for food and feed seagulls.
Before she knew it, the sun was slowly lowering, and Carlos sent Su Qingjia home, and then handed her the flowers and medicinal herbs that Su Qingjia was holding in his arms.
Su Qingjia smelled the slightly darkened flowers, well, they were still very fragrant, and they did not affect the effect of the pharmaceutical.
Back in the dormitory, Carlos took the sketch from his bosom, and though he was not satisfied with its final destination, he carefully spread out the paper, took two thick books, clamped them together, and put them in the box at his bedside.
There was also a brand new soccer ball and a water cup with a red flag.
*
On this day, Su Qingjia was tinkering with the flowers and medicinal herbs she bought more than 20 days ago in the bedroom, she had already ground them into powder, dried and steamed, and made up other things she needed, such as rose essential oil, etc., her cream had been made, and it was commendable that she bought three pairs of them, and there was no waste at all.
The finished grease needs to stand for a long time for half a month. Today is the day when the results can be tested.
Su Qingjia was so excited that she almost wanted to burst her Northeast accent - oh my mom, cook me a dumpling paper to calm down!
opened the small box with gold silk peony patterns, the box was brought by her from China, and she didn't think about what to put it in at that time, it was pure and beautiful, and she brought about ten in a row, all of which were placed in the accompanying dressing box.
Inside the small box is pink transparent cream, with a sweet and long unique fragrance, crystal clear, Su Qingjia stretched out his index finger to feel it, the touch is very warm, like flowing water, and has a solid body, but there is no greasy blockage.
Hurriedly picked a little and wiped it on the back of her hand, her hand was delicate and snow-white, because of the heat, the condensation melted a little bit, Su Qingjia wiped it carefully, and put her hand close in front of her eyes, her already white hand is now almost invisible to the texture of pores and skin, and the back of her hand is smooth and tender, as comfortable as in water.
Succeed with flying colors! After so many days of hard work, it was not in vain, and she begged Su Jingkang to buy her a set of necessary equipment for chemical practice.
couldn't help but want to try the effect, Su Qingjia went into the bathroom to take a bath, wiped it clean and applied gelatin.
Well, it's really amazing, and it's fragrant! Nothing short of amazing! It seems that other recipes can also be made together.
After getting dressed, Su Qingjia looked at the time, it was already half past two, she usually went to the orphanage at two o'clock, and Carlos would be waiting for her at the bus stop.
Running downstairs all the way, Su Qingjia was putting on her shoes, and Ming Ling came over, a little puzzled: "Bella, it's raining today, do you still want to go out to practice with Carlos?" โ
Ming Ling likes Carlos a lot, although she hasn't seen it, but she listens to her daughter's more and more proficient Spanish. Mingling thought that this little boy was very good, and listened to his daughter that he was very beautiful.
Su Qingjia kept the window closed in the room, and closed the curtains, but she didn't hear the sound of rain, so she heard Ming Lingyi say, and ran to the floor-to-ceiling window, "Really, it's raining." โ
The Mediterranean climate is unpredictable, the first period was a little rain in the morning, and in the afternoon it was basically gone, and sometimes it was sunny for several days in a row.
Su Qingjia thought about it and found an umbrella, went out in rain boots, dangled in front of Mingling with the umbrella, and said, "Beautiful lady, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while." โ
Ming Ling shrugged and went to the piano room to play the piano.
In the hot and dry summer, a rain is the longing of many people, but Su Qingjia is not very hopeful. She got out of the car, held up her umbrella, wiped her eyes wet with the rain, and searched the water curtain.
Carlos stayed where he had always stood and watched the cars go by. There was no shelter in the place, and Carlos stood silently like a traffic light next to him.
Su Qingjia hurriedly ran over. The rain splashed on her trouser legs, "Carlos, why don't you hide from the rain!" You look at you. If you're soaking wet, you'll catch a cold, do you know! Su Qingjia was glad that she brought a big umbrella when she went out, which was not as beautiful as her personal umbrella, but it could cover the two of them well.
Carlos was covered in water, and Su Qingjia saw that the water was flowing down from his โกโก calf outside his pants, and his long eyelashes became a gathering place for water droplets at this time, but the brilliance under his eyes flickered.
"I'm in good health, I don't catch a cold." Carlos said, but Su Qingjia heard the taste of a dead duck's hard mouth from his tone.
"It's raining so hard, don't you know where to stand a little bit? Wipe it off, you can have ducks on your face. Su Qingjia took out a tissue from his backpack and gave it to him.
Carlos took the tissue and said, "Thank you." He added, "I'm afraid I won't be standing there, and you won't see me if you get there." โ
Su Qingjia wanted to scold him for being stupid, but the words swirled on the tip of his tongue and returned to his stomach.
His eyes were so sincere, those blue-gray eyes almost filled her figure, and she suddenly felt that this young man really made her feel so distressed.
Growing up in an orphanage, he was so lonely that no one could enter his world, he used indifference as a cloak to resist the cold given to him by outsiders, he was like an eternally desolate ice field, unable to grow warm flowers.
He didn't dare to look forward to it, he was afraid of the loneliness of licking his wound alone after the rupture and no one asked.
How can she get the most sincere friendship from this young man.
On the way here, Su Qingjia thought that Carlos should not go to practice today, but she still felt apprehensive, and after thinking about it, she still came over to take a look.
She's on the right track. If she hadn't come, I didn't know how long Carlos would have been here today.
Holding an umbrella, she went back to the orphanage with Carlos, "You're so wet, hurry up and go back to shower and change clothes." "The voice was a little muffled and a little nasal.
Carlos suddenly felt that he was not cold at all, although he had been in the rain for almost an hour, during which he also thought about moving to the side to hide from the rain for a while, or going back to the dormitory to get an umbrella, but finally gave up, he knew that the possibility of Bella coming was very small, but he didn't want to do what if she came and couldn't find him.
Still, Bella came.
Carlos didn't like to walk through the main entrance of the orphanage, they went around the small playground back.
The cans used for practice are filled with rainwater, and old soccer balls are baptized in bunkers. Su Qingjia had an idea in her heart, and the discomfort in her heart drove her to act before she could think clearly.
She ran over and picked up the can and put it on the goal, shouting at Carlos: "Carlos, use your ball, knock it down!" โ
Carlos nodded, his blonde hair drenched so thoroughly that it was a puddle of water. He walked to the bunker and put the football on the track. The distance is far away, and the water curtain blocks the view.
He desperately forced himself to keep his eyes open and find the right angle and force.
"Come on! Carlos! Come on! Carlos! Come on! Su Qingjia waved at him.
Then, Su Qingjia heard the sound of the can falling to the ground, which was very crisp.
The football rolls out a long way. Su Qingjia was really forced personally. ran over to hold an umbrella for Carlos, his eyes were full of admiration, he raised his head at Carlos, and said, "You are really amazing, so accurate!" โ
This time, Carlos didn't need Su Qingjia's help to show a very bright smile, and he gave this smile to Su Qingjia.
Back in the dormitory, Su Qingjia watched him walk in with a sweet smile.
The boy began to grow taller, Su Qingjia thought, she should find him a professional football coach, he is really talented, and he should not be annihilated.
And she, an amateur sparring partner, it's time to leave.
