0025 Warmth and coldness
The skill enhancement is completed, and the painting that An Yi needs is naturally completed, while continuing to be amazed by Tang Yan's copying skills, An Yi naturally expressed his hope for long-term cooperation with Tang Yan.
Of course, An Yi would not know that Tang Yan's current paintings within three feet by three feet can be copied vividly in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, but it does not prevent An Yi from wanting to keep Tang Yan's line. After all, the price of Qi Baishi's shrimp is rising steadily, and in the future, I am afraid that there will be no less vassal and elegant people who want to get some fake paintings to decorate the faΓ§ade.
But Tang Yan is not keen on this.
This money seems to be easy to make, but Tang Yan is not just specialized in Qi Baishi. It's better not to let too many people know about this kind of thing, especially a businessman like An Yi, at least until Tang Yan is not sure about An Yi's surname, he doesn't dare to let him know.
However, Tang Yan did not directly refuse to be comfortable, of course, this is for Ai Xiaoqing's side, the fan of Liu Yong still fell into Ai Xiaoqing's hands, with Tang Yan and Ai Xiaoqing's friendship of only one meeting, rashly came to visit, it was too abrupt and too deliberate.
After a vague perfunctory moment, Tang Yan smoothly pulled the topic to Yaya. An Yi only thought that Tang Yan didn't want to continue the topic, but he didn't expect that he was really interested in Ai Xiaoqing.
"Doesn't Yaya have to come to you today to learn to paint?"
"I can learn every day, it's only two days a week, and I always need some time to digest. And today is Yaya's time to go to elementary school this year, and today her mother took her to the school to register. β
Tang Yan was slightly surprised: "It turns out that Yaya is just seven years old?" It looks like it's bigger. β
An Yi smiled: "Yaya is taller than children of the same age, but if you look at her mother, she is also 1.7 meters tall, and my master is taller, close to 1.9 meters tall, it is estimated that Yaya will definitely be a model when she grows up." β
Tang Yan nodded: "So that's ......" but he was always thinking in his heart, how could he reasonably make a request to go to Yaya's house to have a look?
Originally, Tang Yan didn't need to be in a hurry, after all, there were a total of twenty-one days to complete this task, and now only four days have passed. It's just that the university is about to really start, and Tang Yan and their wave of freshmen should also be in time for military training. The most important thing is that when the first class meeting was held two days ago, Ji Fanxi told Tang Yan that their major was likely to be taken to the barracks for fully enclosed military training. Jiangcheng Institute of Technology will have several classes drawn to the barracks every year, considering that the archaeology major will have more practical courses in the future, and the physical requirements will be higher, the school hopes to give this group of students a wake-up call in advance.
The military training lasted for fifteen days, and when the military training was over, Tang Yan's task period was over, so Tang Yan had to complete this task before leaving.
However, it seems that luck still favors Tang Yan, and when Tang Yan was worried that he had no good excuses, An Yi looked at the time and said, "Speaking of which, I'm almost going out...... Today is Yaya's first day as a student, and I have long promised to cook a few dishes for her. Eh, Tang Yan, otherwise you can go with me, let's go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables first, and then go to Yaya's house together. As an ease, he just said it in passing, but Tang Yan agreed to climb down the pole.
"Do you cook for yourself? Speaking of which, I also have two specialty dishes! Tang Yan seemed to be in high spirits, and although he was occasionally surprised, he still drove Tang Yan to the vegetable market.
After buying the vegetables, An Yi took Tang Yan directly to Yaya's house.
The accommodation conditions of the Yaya family are quite poor, it is the kind of tube building built in batches in the sixties and seventies, and now it is rented out to low-income families as low-rent housing by the political axe.
"Originally, Master's family was quite wealthy, but when Master committed suicide, he owed a lot of money, and I didn't have much money in my hands at that time, so I couldn't really help. After the master left, those creditors found the master's wife, and if they really delayed, they could actually delay it for a few years, and the orphans and widows, those people would not force them to die. But my wife is a very kind person, and she insisted on buying a house to pay off her debts for Master, and then she applied for low-rent housing from Zhengaxe and has been living here ever since. β
Hearing this, Tang Yan felt even more distressed, this is a feeling of sympathy, and it may be difficult for others to understand.
Yaya and Ai Xiaoqing were surprised by Tang Yan's arrival, but they quickly welcomed him with a smile. An Yi explained a little, and began to work in the corridor.
Originally, this kind of tube building should also have a kitchen, although three or four families shared a kitchen, but after it was treated as low-rent housing, even the kitchen was changed to a room for rent, so the aisle became a place for these low-rent residents to boil water and cook.
The room is only a dozen square meters, and the teeth are still small, so it is enough to sleep in a bed with Ai Xiaoqing. Although the room is small, it is well arranged, and even ingeniously creates a space for Yaya to read and draw.
After pulling Tang Yan to sit down on the edge of the bed, Yaya struggled but stubbornly supported a huge wooden board on the wall, and from the traces on the wooden board, Tang Yan could see that this was the place where Yaya Pingli painted, and it was also the dining table where she and Ai Xiaoqing ate.
Unlike other people's homes, there is not a wardrobe opposite the bed, but a bookcase, and it is estimated that the mother and daughter do not have too many clothes to put in a wardrobe except for changing clothes. There are not many books on the bookcase, but there are a few scrolls rolled up, all of which are not large in size, and they are probably all things left by his father.
"Brother Tang Yan, can I draw a picture for you?" Yaya squeezed Tang Yan and asked him.
Tang Yan is not a person who is good at expressing feelings, if this kind of scene is seen by Ji Fanxi, tears will definitely start to roll in his eyes. Tang Yan just nodded, and began to watch Yaya draw seriously, and then corrected some mistakes in the brushstrokes for her.
Ai Xiaoqing and An Yi were busy in the corridor for a long time, and finally remembered that they didn't pour a glass of water for Tang Yan, so they hurriedly washed their hands simply, and after entering the house, they saw Tang Yan pointing out the scene of tooth and tooth painting very seriously. And Yaya is obviously very serious about learning, even more serious than following An Yi Xue, and it is rare to see Yaya smiling happily all the time in the process of learning to paint.
"I'm really sorry, An An bought too many dishes, I only cared about helping him choose dishes, and I didn't even pour you a glass of water." Ai Xiaoqing took out the cup apologetically, poured water for Tang Yan, and at the same time looked at his shabby room, and said: "The house is too simple, I knew that you would also come, so I just went to An An'an's side, at least it was more spacious." β
Tang Yan took the water, smiled and said: "Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin, I am already very uneasy when I come to the door to disturb me, and you are so polite that you want to drive me away!" β
As soon as Yaya heard this, she immediately looked back at her mother: "Mom, why are you driving Brother Tang Yan away?" β
Ai Xiaoqing hurriedly said: "Mom didn't want to drive Brother Tang Yan away, it's too late for Brother Tang Yan to come and Mom is happy!" As he spoke, there were even tears in the corners of his eyes.
In the past two years, Ai Xiaoqing has deeply felt what it means to be lonely, when her husband is there, the family is always full of guests, and when he leaves, although some people occasionally come, they are basically some ill-intentioned guys, and there is no real friend except for comfort. Even the relatives of their family stopped walking with them. Moreover, even those who have bad intentions and want to hit Ai Xiaoqing, most of them don't even want to enter the door, but want to pull the mother and daughter out.
Tang Yan's words were incomprehensible to Yaya, but it was impossible for Ai Xiaoqing not to understand. A stranger can think about them like this, which makes Ai Xiaoqing sigh more and more warmly, in this world, there are still some good people.
"You're tired all day, let's rest for a while, I'll go out and see if Anyi has anything to help. Before I came, I said that I wanted to show my hand and make a braised fish! Tang Yan drank all the warm water in the cup, and then returned the empty cup to Ai Xiaoqing.
"Brother Tang Yan, do you know how to cook?"
Tang Yan looked back and smiled: "Yes, and the fish made by Brother Tang Yan is still delicious!" You have to eat more for a while. β
"Yay! The fish made by Brother Tang Yan must be delicious! It's much better than my mother, and my mother can't cook! After that, the little girl made a grimace, and Ai Xiaoqing's face turned red when she heard it.
Although Tang Yan was a little strange, she didn't ask Ai Xiaoqing why she couldn't cook, she just pinched her little face and asked her not to speak ill of her mother, and went out.
While helping An Yi choose the dishes, Tang Yan casually asked the question just now.
An Yi smiled bitterly: "Alas...... When she married her master, her two elder brothers were both university teachers, and they made it clear that they were against it. This also directly led to the fact that she and her master had very little contact with her two brothers after marriage, and after the master committed suicide, she almost cut off contact, otherwise her mother would not have lived so badly. Since childhood, my wife has been pampered, and after following the master, the family is also solid, and I can barely do a little housework, but I still haven't learned anything about cooking. Their mother and daughter, to be honest, are not worth opening a gang, it is really more expensive to do it yourself every day than to eat in the canteen, and the mother and mother bring some food back in the canteen of the unit every day, and the mother and daughter have lived like this all these years. Naturally, my wife didn't have much chance to learn to cook. β
After hearing this, Tang Yan nodded and said, "No wonder I think Yaya's mother has a good temperament, it turns out that she is also from a scholarly family." β
The two of them worked together, and the meal was quickly ready, and Yaya watched on the bed as the dishes were put on the table one by one, and clapped his little hands happily. However, Tang Yan took the opportunity to go in and out with comfort, constantly looking at this small room of only a dozen square meters, hoping to find where Liu Yong's fan was hidden.
