Chapter 37: Photographing Foreign Paintings
Under the little trick of their son Lin Yang pretending to be a ghost, Lin Shizhong and his wife changed their initial idea and decided to raise money to invest in Li Wenhui's project to contract the construction of a parking lot.
Spring is in full bloom, and it is another year of parting season, and people who go out to work hard have embarked on a journey away from their hometowns, including Lin Yang's father and mother.
The spring breeze blows through the whole small village, and at a glance, the mountains are full of spring.
The fields of Zhushi Village, when spring comes, will be full of rape flowers, patches of gold, bees flying.
There is a crooked stream in the village, in this era, the stream water is crystal clear, you can see with the naked eye that there are many fish and shrimp in the stream, the stream is full of all kinds of wild flowers, children often carry adults on their backs to use the dustpan at home to catch fish, can be wrapped in lotus leaves to light a fire to eat. There are always birds such as egrets in the distance, and when people get a little closer, they take off. Fortunately, when Lin Yang was a child in his previous life, he was stained with the light of his good buddy Li Yi, and his mother Zhou Huiwen took a picture of them by the stream, and the background of the photo was a group of egrets flying high.
In the fields near the stream, some people grow peanuts, and children will dig some to steal when they pass by.
The earthen fence in the fence of Zhushi Primary School is full of wild roses in early spring, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, and the bees are buzzing, and you need to squint to see the flowers in the sun, and the primary school students are chasing me in the schoolyard. It's not lively;
Zhushi Primary School, which abandoned the entire winter vacation, finally got rid of the lifeless atmosphere of the past and ushered in a group of lively and lovely students.
After all, it was just the beginning of school, and the class leader Li Ting took the lead, and the class cadres all worked hard and complained, scrambling to stand on the podium and distribute new books for the head teacher Wang Qiuyan.
Lin Yang sat in his seat, like an old monk in a settling place, quietly staring at Teacher Wang Qiuyan on the podium, her inadvertent smile.
Li Yi said kindly: "Lin Yang, these two book covers are for you."
Lin Yang was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he waved his hand and refused: "No, you can do it yourself, my new book doesn't need to be wrapped in a book cover, it's too troublesome to toss."
Li Yi knew that it was boring to talk about himself, and he was not reluctant, so he turned around and gave the two extra oil-paper book covers he bought in the commissary, one for each person, and gave them to the two brothers Li Aijin and Li Aiyin respectively.
Lin Yang suddenly remembered that when he was a child in his previous life, as soon as the school issued a new book, his classmates would go to put the new schoolbag on the book cover with great interest. In order to educate the students to develop a good habit of cherishing books, the teacher taught the children to wrap book covers from the beginning of the school year. In addition, the use of discarded calendar paper as book covers can also be recycled, which is both economical and environmentally friendly.
New semester, new atmosphere!
In the classroom that has been in disrepair for a long time, every student has put on new clothes for the New Year, bought a new stationery box, bought a new pencil, and even some students have bought a beautiful new school bag.
Lin Yang held the new book, leaned in front of his nose and smelled it, and a refreshing scent of ink came to his nose.
On the cover of the Chinese textbook in the second volume of the first grade: a little boy and a little girl are playing on the beach, and the little girl picks up the conch and gives it to the little boy.
This scene of color portrait, Lin Yang seems very unfamiliar, but there is an indescribable familiarity. He never expected that even though more than 20 years had passed, the picture of an ordinary Chinese book cover would always remain in his mind and linger.
Li Yi folded the book cover seriously, and then carefully flipped through the newly issued textbooks. Of course, he doesn't focus on the content of the textbook itself, but the beautiful illustrations in the textbook.
"Lin Yang, look at this!" Li Yi was full of enthusiasm and pointed to the illustration next to the text "Sima Guang Smashes the Cylinder".
Lin Yang took a look and asked, "Well, what's wrong?"
Li Yi looked eager to learn, and asked for advice: "Lin Yang, you know a lot of words, can you tell me the meaning of this text?"
Lin Yang smiled helplessly, and then roughly explained the meaning of the text "Sima Guang Smashing the Cylinder" to Li Yi.
After listening to Lin Yang's explanation, Li Yi said with emotion: "Lin Yang, Sima Gang is so smart, he can even think of lifting a stone and smashing the light to save his companions......"
Lin Yang had a black line and corrected: "Uh...... Ah Yi, you read it wrong, it's not Sima Guang who smashed the light, it's Sima Guang who smashed the cylinder......"
"Of course I know, I'm thinking about it now, I'm thinking, what is the best way to do it smarter than Sima Tank!"
"Okay, you cow......"
Then, Li Yi quickly transformed into a genius child who loves to use his brain, learning from Brother Hugh, drawing circles on his head with his index finger, trying to diverge his thinking and tap his potential.
Not for long.
Lin Yang saw that Li Yi at the same table was still thinking and meditating motionlessly, and Lin Yang was completely amused by his unbearable demeanor.
Lin Yang quipped, "Did you come up with it?"
"Shh......h Don't bother me yet! I'm about to think about it! ”
Lin Yang patted Li Yi's head and said, "Forget it, don't be smart, you can't think of it."
"Why? Are you so sure you can't figure it out? Li Yi was a little unconvinced.
Lin Yang nodded and said calmly: "Wake up, Ah Yi, if you can really find a better way than Sima Guang, then you won't be praised for a thousand years if Sima Guang smashes a cylinder."
"......" Li Yi was instantly speechless.
The bell rings for the end of class.
The originally quiet campus immediately became noisy and noisy.
Girls are dancing bands outside the classroom, and boys gather in the back row of the classroom to take pictures in the open space.
Shooting foreign paintings is a kind of children's game that was very popular in the late 80s and early 90s of the 20th century. The children took out some exquisite foreign paintings, put them together, put them on the ground, and took turns to shoot them with their palms, or use foreign paintings to shoot foreign paintings, and they could take them away if they could turn them over.
What is "Western Painting"?
Western painting is a kind of small color picture with a hard texture, and the subject matter is mostly characters in novels and cartoons such as "Fengshen Bang", "Journey to the West" and "Nazha in the Sea". The size of a Western painting is relatively fixed, and the size of a full-page Western painting is very similar, with a specific size of about 25.5×18 cm. Not only that, the layout is also very similar in various places, among them, each full page of five foreign paintings in a horizontal row, five foreign paintings in a vertical column, a total of 25 foreign paintings in the whole page is the most common, each foreign painting size is about 4×3 centimeters.
Of course, in addition to my country's traditional animated characters, foreign cartoon images such as Saint Seiya, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Fighter are also quite popular among friends.
Scarcity is expensive.
Lin Yang vaguely remembered that the least common "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" foreign paintings on the market at that time, with only a small foreign painting, you could exchange 25 foreign paintings of other themes, and you may not even be able to exchange them.
The value of each type of foreign painting is the same in itself, but due to its circulation problem, the price gap is quite large, the more circulating foreign paintings are cheaper, and the rarer foreign paintings are more valuable.
In the children's circle of Zhushi Village, the most valuable foreign paintings are "Smart Yixiu" and "Astro Boy", the status of these two foreign paintings can be described as Taishan Beidou.
Among them, the most worthless foreign paintings are naturally "Sailor Moon", after all, the people who play and shoot foreign paintings are a group of boys, and it is difficult for them to like feminine foreign pictures.
