"What are you doing with these things?" Throwing the stick, Ren Mu glanced at the tools that had been turned out.

"Make an easel. Ren Bufan didn't hide it, and walked out with tools.

Ren Mu didn't understand, and followed behind: "What are you doing?"

"Easel!"

"What's that?"

"An easel! It's a wooden shelf where you can put your sketchpads and paint. Ren Bufan explained.

"Wooden shelves are wooden shelves, don't you understand that......?

"It's called an easel!"

"What's it called, what are you doing with this?"

"Paint!"

"Who's drawing?"

"Me!"

"You draw?"

"That's right!"

Ren Mu walked over and put her right hand on his forehead.

Ren Bufan pushed away speechlessly: "Mom, I don't have a fever." ”

"You didn't have a fever and you suddenly said you wanted to paint, and you nailed a wooden shelf. Will you nail it?"

"The easel is very simple, just a few wooden sticks nailed together. Don't we have a broken wardrobe? I'll tear down a few pieces of wood and use them. ”

"It's going to be burned as firewood. ”

"There are a lot of firewood on the mountain, so it's a big deal that I find time to chop some and come back. Leaving his tools in the open space at the door, he ran to the shed where the firewood was kept.

Not to mention, the broken wardrobe is dismantled, and there are really suitable wooden blocks.

After taking it, I thought carefully about the drawing I had seen in the shop, drew the lines with a pencil, picked up the saw and began to work on it.

Ren's mother watched from the side, and couldn't help but say: "If you have this time, you might as well study hard, have you done your homework?"

"No, I'll leave it there for now, and I'll be able to do it tomorrow night. ”

"Reading is the most important thing, and other miscellaneous things are put aside. How can you let go of the most important tasks?" Ren's mother complained, "I lent you money with your father to go to school, not to let you mess around." ”

"I don't interfere with learning. ”

"Come on, your homeroom teacher used to complain during home visits, saying that you didn't study at all. How many times have you been punished by the school? Recently, the teacher doesn't even come to the door, which means that he doesn't bother to take care of you. What's the use of us paying this tuition?"

Seeing that his mother was about to start nagging again, Ren Bufan hurriedly interrupted: "Mom, I know what I should and shouldn't do now." Rest assured, I will never be as useless as before. I'll read the book well, at least in high school. Then find a job to earn money and reduce your stress. ”

"Do you want to work after high school?" Ren's mother frowned, "How can I do that! Your father and I can't find a good job or make money because we are uneducated." What are we borrowing money to let you study? No matter how hard you work, at least you have to finish college. Don't give me all these moths, you know?"

"Mom~" Ren Bufan reluctantly turned around, "I'm not a student for studying, just forget it after high school." Now for me to go to high school, the combined salaries of you and my father are not enough, so I ask others to borrow a lot. Do you know how expensive college tuition is? Do you know how exaggerated the living expenses of college students and miscellaneous expenses are? Even if I really borrow money, it will be in vain if I can't pass the exam!"

"Money, your father and I will borrow it no matter what!" Ren's mother said in an unquestionable tone, "Don't talk nonsense with me." Your brain is very smart, otherwise I and your dad would have found money wherever they hid? It's just useless for studying! You have to be really sensible, and you don't want to get into a good university, and it doesn't matter if it's the worst kind, at least get a college student's diploma. Now you need a diploma to find a job, and if you don't have a good job, it's someone else's. ”

"But I don't want to study," Ren Bufan sighed, "I have a plan, I want to start a business after graduating from high school, and I will definitely be able to make a lot of money when the time comes, so that our family can get out of poverty......"

"Don't even think about it! If you don't go to college, I'll break your leg!"

In her previous life, her mother also threatened herself like this, but Ren Bufan was also very rebellious at that time, and simply went to work in other places, but she refused to obey.

Now when I hear this sentence again, my heart is full of emotion.

I always think of my parents crying silently when I was getting weaker and weaker in the hospital bed.

After being silent for a long time, he looked back at his mother: "Mom, do you and Dad really want me to go to college so much?"

"Of course we want you to be promising!" Ren's mother was very serious.

"Yes! In my last life, I was very rebellious, always working against you, which made you break your heart. Ren Bufan nodded and said, "I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past in this life, I listen to you! I will also find a way to solve the problem of money, don't go to your relatives' house to borrow it." ”

"What nonsense?" Ren Mu put her hand on his forehead again with some concern, "What is the last life, this life?

"I'm not sick!" Ren Bufan depressedly pushed his mother's hand away, "You can get busy, I'm going to nail up the easel." ”

"Let's go to the medical station first, shall we?"

"I'm fine!"

Finally pushed his mother away, Ren Bufan sighed and continued to study the assembly of the easel.

He thought that the structure of the easel was very simple, and he could do it well.

As a result, I learned by myself what it means to have a high eye and a low hand.

It is obviously a very simple structure, but when I made it myself, I found that it was very difficult.

Either the nails are not firm, or they are crooked, and you can't figure out what went wrong.

After more than an hour of research, several pieces of firewood were wasted, and they were all extremely ugly and useless rotten shelves.

It is clear that he has no talent for carpentry.

If you have 100 yuan, it may be better to find a book on carpentry and turn it into a skill.

However, there is no money at the moment, so we can only continue to speculate.

"What are you doing?" while my father was busy, and he came home from work. When I arrived at the door, I saw a place of sawdust and waste wood, as well as a rotten shelf that Ren Bufan was studying, and his face was puzzled.

"Dad!" Ren Bufan looked up and replied, "I'll nail an easel." ”

"Easel?" Father Ren didn't understand for the first time, "What easel?"

"It's a wooden frame for painting. ”

"Oh~" Father Ren nodded, "What is that thing for?"

"Draw!"

"Painting?" Father Ren passed by and came to the sink to wash his hands, "Done your homework?"

"No, I'll do it tomorrow. ”

"Study hard, don't mess with this useless stuff. ”

"Why is it useless?" Ren Bufan was depressed, "I want to make money from it!"

"Make money?" Father Ren looked at him with a strange expression, "Draw to make money?"

"yes!"

"How?" he asked, instead of saying no outright.

"I'll nail the easel today, and I'll go to the Gonggu Temple tomorrow morning. Ren Bufan replied honestly, "There are a lot of tourists on weekends, so I paint portraits of them and collect money." ”

Hearing this, Ren's father couldn't help but laugh: "If the money is so easy to earn, your mother and I won't be so tired! Besides, are you very good at drawing? Why do people give you money?"

"Wash your hands and eat!" Before Ren Bufan could answer, Ren's mother's voice came from inside the house.

Father Ren shrugged and turned directly into the house.

Ren Bufan looked at the unfinished easel, looked at his father who had entered the house, and followed him with hesitation.

Ren's mother fried a few vegetables grown in her own field, but there was no meat.

After placing it on the table, beckoned Father Ren and Ren Bufan's father and son to come over.

"Dad, I think I can paint well, and there must be someone willing to pay for it. Ren Bufan didn't want to eat yet, so he was ready to prove himself, "If you don't believe me, I'll paint you a picture, don't you look like it." ”

"Let's eat first!" Ren Mu set the dishes and chopsticks.

"Eat and eat. "Father Ren didn't take it seriously.

"Dad, Mom!" Ren Bufan didn't take his seat, "You wait a while, I'll go upstairs and get paper and pen." ”

"Eat first!" Ren's mother frowned.

"Soon, soon!" he quickly went upstairs and grabbed his workbook and pencil.

Drawing paper and brushes are for business and cannot be wasted.

Back at the table, his parents were staring at him.

"Mom and Dad, leave me alone. Ren Bufan sat down and opened the blank pages of his homework book, "Let's eat first! I'll look at the painting, it'll be fine for ten minutes!"

"Is it really a painting?" asked Ren's father.

"Yes, I'll draw your portrait and comment on it later. Ren Bufan nodded, carefully examined his father's face, and then began to skillfully trace lines on the paper.

Ren's father and Ren's mother glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but shake their heads.

But in the past, my son didn't go home, and he spent the night in the game hall with his fox friends and dog friends, and when he got home during the day, he would lie in bed and sleep, and then run out after waking up.

Now it is not easy for him to stay at home honestly and sit down and eat together.

As long as he doesn't run out to play games, let him toss!

Thinking of this, both husband and wife bowed their heads and ate silently.

With the improvement of painting skills, Ren Bufan's hands are much faster and more proficient.

With his mastery level of drawing skills, a simple sketch of a human head only takes about ten minutes. And as the skill level increases, the speed will also increase.

After finishing the work, he confidently put away the pen and handed the homework book to his father: "Look! At this level, will anyone be willing to pay?"

"How can it be so ......" Ren's father did not take his son's words to heart, but his eyes moved to the sketch, and he immediately swallowed the word "easy".

He picked up the homework book in surprise, looked at it carefully for a while, and finally moved his gaze to his son in disbelief: "This, this is what you draw?"

"Dad, I painted your face, are you still suspicious?" Ren Bufan said with a smile.

"Show me!" Listening to the tone as if the drawing was good, Ren's mother reached out curiously and grabbed the homework book. When I saw the vivid portrait above, my eyes widened and moved back and forth on my husband's face and sketch, and my mouth couldn't close, "Like! It's so similar! It's exactly the same! Fanfan, you really painted it?"

"I said it all, in front of you!" Ren Bufan shrugged.

"When did you learn to draw? Why don't we know?" asked Father Ren quickly.

"Just recently, I suddenly found it interesting to draw. Ren Bufan said, "Then I found that I was quite talented in this area." No, I wonder if I can make money by drawing. ”

"Although you are really good at drawing, it is not so easy to make money by drawing, why do people have to let you paint?"

Before Ren's father finished speaking, Ren's mother impatiently handed over the homework book: "Fanfan, draw a picture for your mother?"

"Okay!"
