Chapter 256: Tied to each other
Sometimes the butterfly would watch him draw in his studio, and every time he was drawing, he turned his head to find the butterfly asleep on the sofa, often holding an empty wine glass in his hand...... He felt that he had never done this well, and he believed that most husbands did not do so well.
He remembers three important dates every year, the day he got married, the day the kite was born, and the butterfly's birthday. No matter what kind of gift, you will always bring one back.
On Zhi Kite's fifth birthday this year, their family ate in a very beautiful restaurant, and invited Gao Ruohan's family, six people, to order a huge cake for Zhi Kite, the six of them couldn't eat the cake, and brought back a lot of it to give to the aunt who worked as a part-time worker in their house.
In the face of all this, the butterfly just smiled faintly and the clouds dispersed.
Zhuang Yousheng never takes the initiative to ask Butterfly how his novels have been written recently, just as Butterfly never asks him how the recent painting auction is.
This became the only thing between the two of them that never communicated.
Butterfly knows that Zhuang Yousheng's paintings are selling well, or rather, the price has been soaring. Because the whole social ethos is to look for all kinds of investments.
There are too many rich people, and although the social class is seriously polarized, there is no doubt that there are more and more rich people. Money always has to find a way to store and appreciate in value, and it is not necessarily necessary to put it in the bank for nothing, or let the bank seek use value in vain. Banks never leave money sitting there waiting to be mothed or pay interest for no reason. All interest is paid by the depositors themselves. To be honest, the speculative things that the banks are doing behind the scenes are really not enough for outsiders. The people in the circle were familiar with this, and everyone laughed at each other.
Therefore, the witty rich will make full use of their assets to achieve profits and snowball. The accumulation of wealth is a sentence: flowing water does not rot the household hub does not beetle. Knowing this, you are not far from becoming rich. Money has never been accumulated by frugality, there is a way to make money, and there is a lot of help to help you get rich, haha, do you understand?
Among the various investments, there is no doubt that calligraphy and painting have always been the most popular and sought-after. The so-called prosperous collection. Rich people now sweep away all kinds of celebrity calligraphy and paintings in the collection world, and their vision has changed from ancient times to cutting-edge now. It is both cutting-edge and has some precipitation, which is naturally more touted and eye-catching.
Moreover, the birth of a painting is not an easy task after all. Nowadays, life is flashy, people's hearts are impetuous, if you are drawing one stroke at a time, but you are thinking that it is a stroke of money, naturally nothing good will come out.
Rich people are definitely not fools. The fact that they can become rich speaks for itself.
Zhuang Yousheng himself knows that his output is also a little stagnant now. A painting should be painted for a year or several years. It's not that I'm slacking off, it's that my energy is scattered. Moreover, he mainly focuses on painting the butterfly series. As for other paintings, they have not been painted in the past few years, and there is less outflow from the outside world, and the old paintings have become fragrant and sweet.
A few times a year, the owner of the auction house came to his door and asked him to paint. Butterfly didn't know exactly how he sent them.
In contrast, Butterfly's novels are almost unpopular online.
So Zhuang Yousheng didn't mention it, because he was afraid of hurting her self-esteem.
Sometimes butterflies will suddenly say at dinner: Yousheng, I have fans today.
In order not to dampen her enthusiasm, Zhuang Yousheng usually smiled slightly to show encouragement and said: Well, yes, really.
The butterfly will be like a child, happily talking and talking there. It's like a person walking in the dark who suddenly finds himself in a paradise. However, this happiness did not last, and he soon fell back into a desperate situation. If Butterfly doesn't mention the novel for a few days in a row, it means that she has no new breakthroughs on the Internet.
At this time, the three of them ate in silence, and then Zhi Kite began to talk about his kindergarten at the dinner table, breaking the deadlock of silence and making the whole meal less formal. The three of them focused their attention on what the kite ate today, which child slept well in the sleep, what the game played in the afternoon, and so on.
Life is always unaltered and unhurried.
In a blink of an eye, the scorching heat passed, and in October, Gao Ruohan called to find butterflies and said that they would go to Huawu Apple Ting to stay for a few days on vacation. Butterfly didn't want to go, but Gao Ruohan called Zhuang Yousheng after a phone call, Zhuang Yousheng felt that Butterfly should go out for a walk, he himself was thinking about finding a place to go around, and he was really aggrieved by the life of students and families all day long. Besides, Huawu Apple Ting has been listening to butterflies mention, but he has never been there once, and his heart is confused, and after dinner that day, when the two of them were walking in the community, Zhuang Yousheng mentioned it.
As soon as the butterfly heard it, she knew that it was Gao Ruohan who was making trouble. Gao Ruohan is now more and more capable. Over the years, he has been spoiled by Bi Yuchen and has become more and more willful.
However, she is also the only person in the butterfly life who cannot be separated and has a close connection, and only Gao Ruohan has been concerned about the life of the butterfly all these years.
Since the death of their father, their relationship has magically become closer little by little, and after all those years and many things, they are not only stepmother-daughter relationships, but also close friends, best friends, the only people in this world who are related to each other. Because apart from each other, they are all lonely individuals.
They don't have too many relatives and friends, they are all intellectual women, they are all relatively noble and cold, and they are more arrogant in their hearts.
However, now that Gao Ruohan has entered old age, she has uncharacteristically shown a certain girlish taste, she is curious about everything, and she is especially eager for a stimulating life, in a word, she can't be idle.
She couldn't stay home alone, that would be her crazy. If Bi Yuchen was busy handling the case, she would run to the butterfly, saying that she was helping the butterfly watch the child, but in fact, she was pulling the butterfly out to play. Her mobile phone is dedicated to all kinds of delicious and fun places, and if she finds one, she happily drags the butterfly with her.
Every time she comes, she always complains about the traffic jam on the road as soon as she enters the door, which makes her crazy, and then complains that the weather is too hot, or too cold, or too stuffy, in short, she complains non-stop, a long list of words, the speed of speech is fast and urgent, and the butterfly is confused or stunned like a storm. Then she didn't hurry to sit down and drink the tea that the butterfly made for her, and began to plan the day's arrangement.
