After Tao Tang sent Zhao Qingmin away, he went to the opposite side and talked to his daughter who was already asleep, which was nothing more than an old topic for her to study hard. Xiaohe was the most annoying about this, she was chatting with Tang Tian on her mobile phone, and she thought her father was upset, so she hid in the bathroom and took a shower.

Tao Tang gave Fang Fang 5,000 yuan and asked her to give Xiaohe as appropriate. is about to graduate, there must be a lot of spare flowers, and he always restricts his daughter's spare flowers, but in fact he can't be ruthless.

Fang can stuff the money into the suitcase, "I'll send Xiaohe over after the high school entrance examination." You should be more with her, Xiaohe is actually quite lonely, I have seen her cry secretly...... I will accompany her during this time, so you can rest assured. Fang can say.

Fang Ke's personality seems to have changed a lot, and Tao Tang can feel it completely. This made him feel guilty, and he thought that Fang Fang's change was entirely due to himself. Since Fang Lan's death, Fang Fang has completely put his mind on himself, and these six years are the best years of Fang Fang's life. Although Tao Tang firmly believes that it is his right to accept or reject, the guilt inevitably arises and grows stronger.

Fortunately, when talking about Xiaohe, Fang Lan was completely a competent elder, which made Tao Tang feel gratified.

"The car has been arranged, and I will go downstairs at 7:40. Breakfast is at seven o'clock, and I'll call you. I'm going to meet a few people tomorrow, and I'm not going to take you to the station. ”

"You won't ask me?"

"What do I ask you?" Tao Tang had a headache again.

"For example, my Qingdao art exhibition ......"

"Yes, how did the Qingdao Art Exhibition go?"

"Nine pieces were sold. There was another painting that offered 25,000 yuan, which was the highest price of any painting I exhibited, but I didn't sell it, and I didn't want to sell it. ”

"Is it a landscape painting?" Tao Tang knew that Fang Fang's specialty was Western oil painting, and there was a painting hanging in the living room of Binjiang, which was Fang Fang's sketch work in Guizhou, with spicy and bold colors, and the layers of terraced rice fields that had been seen countless times in the photos became exaggerated and vivid under Fang Fang's pen, as if they had life.

"No, it's my first self-portrait, and I want to give it to you." As he spoke, Fang Fang took out the painting scroll from the suitcase and handed it to Tao Tang.

After hesitating, Tao Tang took the 80-centimeter-long scroll covered with a dark blue cloth cover.

"Don't open it, let's wait until I'm gone. If you don't like it, destroy it. ”

Since someone offered a price of 25,000 at the art exhibition, it should be considered a good work, Tao Tang didn't know anything about the market, and only felt that the top painters were very few after all, and like this level, a painting should be sold for 25,000.

"I saw that you had something on your mind at dinner at night, was it Uncle Xiaohe who gave you bad news?"

"Nothing, I'm used to it. It's just a repetition of some of Sheng Dong's stories, and it will get better. Tao Tang held the scroll, "It's not early, you guys should rest early." Without waiting to speak, he turned and walked out of the room.

"Something?" Tao Tang had just untied the pink ribbon of the painting scroll, and when he saw it, he followed him into the room.

Fang Ke didn't say anything, and suddenly hugged Tao Tang from behind. His arms were tightly clenched, making Tao Tang a little breathless.

"Don't ......be like this, Xiao" Tao Tang was a little out of breath.

"Don't move, I'll give you a hug." She whispered.

Tao Tang was especially afraid that Xiaohe would suddenly break in, and when he was upset, he only felt hot and dry.

"Don't be like this, you have something to say." Tao Tang struggled to break free.

"Am I cheap?" Fang can bury his face deep in Tao Tang's chest.

"No, don't say that......"

"Why don't you accept me?"

"Xiao Ke, you let go and talk well......"

"I know you have your sister in your heart, but she has already gone, what my sister has, I can give it to you, what she can do, I can ......"

"Xiao Ke, you let go and listen to me......"

"No, no, I know what you're going to say! I don't want to hear it. Fang Ke tightened the man's strength with all his might, feeling his pounding heartbeat, "I've been waiting for you for six years, it's okay, I'll wait!" With that, she pushed Tao Tang away and turned to leave, the door slamming behind her.

Tao Tang seemed to be drained of his strength, took two steps back, and fell on his back on the bed, the scroll falling off his hand and falling on the carpet.

After a long time, Tao Tang fumbled and turned on the table lamp. Then he picked up the scroll, removed the cloth cover, and opened it.

The portrait continues the style of painting that Fang Ke has always had - the colors are bright and the composition is bold. In the background, a woman in a bright red swimsuit with long hair facing the sea is on the beach. The girl is a full-length portrait, taking up half of the frame. The girl's bright red swimsuit, fair skin, and full chest stand out against the gray waves.

Tao Tang tried to focus his gaze on the girl's face. It is indeed a self-portrait of Fang Fang. The side is very much like herself, especially the tightly pursed mouth and eyes, which are very expressive.

Why did you choose the wind and waves as the background for the self-portrait? Does this indicate that her heart is full of wild passion and desperately suppressed? Tao Tang did not find an inscription on the picture, and there is not a single word in the whole painting.

Just as music is another language, painting is also language, and any work of art is a language, pouring out the author's thoughts to an audience that can understand and understand. Fang Ke obviously liked her work, what did she have to tell herself?

Tao Tang got up, carefully rolled up the portrait, reloaded it with a cloth cover, and placed it in the bookcase. Then he quickly took a shower, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

……

Early the next morning, Tao Jin and Tao Meiling both came to send Fang and Tao Xiaohe, and the two families coincidentally prepared a large number of local products. In the end, they can take it as an excuse and choose a little bit each.

Tao Tang did not transfer the bus, but let Wu Shi'an drive his old Jetta. Tao Xiaohe began to pout as soon as he saw the broken car, but fortunately he didn't say anything. Originally, Tao Tang was not going to send them to the station, but Xiaohe gave an opinion, and Tao Tang got on the train. After arriving at the train station, I didn't wait to drive, and after telling Fang Xiaohe a few words, I was ready to return to the factory.

"How's that painting?" Fang asked in a low voice.

"It's good."

"I want you to frame it and hang it in your bedroom." Fang Ke glanced at Wu Shi'an, who was talking to Xiaohe, "If you want a woman, just look at me." ”

"Hey, what do you think of me?"

"It's normal. Don't you want to be sick? The girl at the guest house is very charming, I want you to move her away from you. Without waiting for Tao Tang to speak, he dragged Xiaohe, "Let's enter the station, I want to use the bathroom...... Goodbye, Brother Wu. ”

"Goodbye, have a nice trip." Wu Shi'an and Fang Fang shook hands and said goodbye.

On the way back, Wu Shi'an mentioned Fang Ke, "Second brother, you should consider Miss Fang." Meiling and I both think it's pretty good. At least it's good for Xiaohe...... You can also see that she has a pretty good relationship with Xiaohe. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Moreover, it is me who is considered first, not Xiaohe. Xiaohe will grow up and will have her own life......"

Since Meiling got married, Wu Shi'an and Tao Tang have had a good relationship, and they definitely surpass Tao Jin in terms of intimacy. So Wu Shi'an can talk about his wife's brother's private affairs at will.

"It seems that you didn't finish what you told me yesterday." What Tao Tang is best at is changing the subject.

Yesterday in the new house of Golden Olive Wu Shi'an to Tao Tang reflected the situation of a marketing department, the topic is from Tao Youdao to buy a car, Wu Shi'an said, the deputy director of the marketing department Lian Fuyu's son-in-law this month to do a happy event, in-laws married a Cadillac car, it is said that four or five hundred thousand yuan. Lian Fuyu's in-laws are the accountant of Wu Shi'an's third branch factory, and he knows the roots, and he definitely has no strength to buy Cadillac, and he has also publicly said that the money is given by Lian's family. In addition, Wu Shi'an also reflected a situation, saying that the marketing department recently issued a bonus, which seems to be money from a small treasury, and the amount is quite large. The latter situation was provided by Wu Shi'an's brother-in-law Lei Yun. Tao Tang remembered this name, and when he first came to the factory, he asked Lu Qi about the personnel of the marketing department, and Lu Qi provided this person.

"That's it. It's just hearsay. But Thundercloud's words can be believed. ”

Lei Yun is Wu Shi'an's close relative, and he is involved with Tao Tang, Tao Tang believes that Lei Yun will not make something out of nothing, if he makes it up without any basis, there must be something wrong with his brain. Since Lu Qi said the name of this person, Tao Tang could believe him. In Tao Tang's heart, he believed Lu Qi's words even more. First, Lu Qi has more vision than Wu Shi'an, and secondly, what ......

"Lei Yun used to be the head of the marketing department, right? Why was he removed from office? ”

"It's not that I offended Li Luo. Second brother, Li Luo is too yin and too calculating, you really have to be careful. ”

"The Cadillac thing you mentioned was actually provided by Thundercloud, right?"

"No, absolutely not. Li Weibo and I are in the same unit, the office is upstairs and downstairs, that kid is a big mouth, who doesn't know the third branch factory? ”

"Drive your car well. Look at you in a hurry. Shi'an, I know that you are scheming, and it is for my good. But now that you are in a different position, don't get involved in any personnel issues in the company. Got it? ”

"Second brother, don't worry, Meiling and I won't make trouble for you."

"I know you and Meiling have an opinion about the boss. How so? The boss also has his difficulties. Sister-in-law is not very reasonable, she is fifty years away, can you change her all at once? It is said that it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, and everything is precious. Oh, I almost forgot, looking for an ICBC, I'll give Youdao a card. ”

"Youdao that kid is good. It's true. Meiling has no opinion on your care, and I am even less qualified to speak. I just hope that they will be kind to the old man in the future, and they will have everything to say. ”

"That's it." Tao Tang found that there was a branch office of the Industrial and Commercial Bank in front of him, "Okay, pull over." ”

"Oh, it's an A8, if you don't pay attention, you will always see it as an A6, this car is designed ......" Wu Shi'an carefully parked his Jetta behind an Audi A8.

"Heist it! Heist it! A shrill cry came.

Tao Tang, who had just gotten out of the car, saw a young man running towards him, holding a bag in his hand.

"Stop!" Tao Tang subconsciously stretched out his leg and tripped over the young man who rushed over, Tao Tang then stepped on the hand of the young man holding the bag, the young man screamed in pain, his hand was released, and Tao Tang picked up the bag.

The whole process is like lightning, a blink of an eye. But Wu Shi'an saw it very clearly, laughed, and praised his wife and brother countless times in his heart. Then Wu Shi'an couldn't laugh anymore,

A security guard rushed out of the branch, followed by a woman. Out of nowhere, two young men rushed out, one punched down the security guard, but the other young man rushed towards Tao Tang and hugged Tao Tang from behind.

Of course, Wu Shi'an would not let his wife and brother suffer, so he jumped out of the car and rushed over.

The branch office had called 110 early, and sirens were faintly heard.

When Wu Shi'an rushed over, Tao Tang had been thrown to the ground by the young man who was hugging him from behind, and the young man who had tripped over rushed up and kicked Tao Tang in the head. Wu Shi'an roared and punched him, knocking the young man who kicked Tao Tang to the ground. Someone shouted to run, and a few thieves ran away. Wu Shi'an was worried about Tao Tang and didn't stop him, and when the police arrived, the three thieves ran away without a trace.
