Chapter 59: If You Smile, Blossom (4)
Finally waited for the winter vacation.
It's been a long time coming.
However, the next notice from Mr. Hai made our expectations come to naught instantly.
"The three classes of our art class during the winter vacation need to use the vacation time for half a month of intensive training, and leave is not allowed, and all staff must participate."
"Ahh
It turns out that what has been circulating all the time is true.
Until the last minute, everyone still didn't want to believe it, but now that the official notice has been released, I have to believe it.
It's another day of being broken and accepting reality.
Forced to open.
Teacher Hai saw our reluctance, and then continued: "This time, the school specially invited a few art teachers to guide your art training, rest assured, the school is at its own expense, and you don't need to pay a penny, what?" Isn't it good? Be content and study hard with the teacher. ”
Teacher Hai continued to persuade strongly, as if brainwashing, but this time the school confiscated the money, which was really unexpected.
What Mr. Hai said is quite reasonable.
If you think about it, it's a good thing, if we have an early holiday, we won't take the initiative to study, even if we want to go to the studio to study, we need to pay a certain fee, so why not!
Now, the students who don't want to accept it have almost accepted it.
After all, whether or not to accept it is only an inner activity of oneself, and it does not have any practical significance, which is mandatory.
Therefore, from the beginning of high school, our vacation is shorter than that of ordinary high school students, more than a month, less than ten days, and all the course time is according to the third year of high school, and they advance and retreat together.
This time, it seemed that the studio on the fifth floor was going to be renovated, and there was no room for the time being, so we had to do this short art training in our own class.
It's the same everywhere as far as I'm concerned.
All the desks in the classroom were emptied, leaving only stools and painting tools, and the classroom of the culture class instantly became a bit of an art classroom.
The empty classroom was instantly filled with drawing boards, and I still remember that I was sitting with Yan at this time, and Alin had completely ignored me.
Yan has studied for many years, and he is very good at drawing, which is the object I need to learn.
Then, it officially begins.
Two completely unfamiliar teachers walked into the class, and they seemed to be the art teachers that Mr. Hai was talking about.
It is a teacher from Xiamen University, a good school, and it really lives up to its name, which is beyond our reach.
However, at this time, we did not consider the issue of choosing a school, but just studied blindly, with only one goal in mind, that is, to study hard.
Other......
There doesn't seem to be any consideration.
A male teacher and a female teacher, after they introduced themselves, immediately began to give assignments.
Divided into two groups, a plaster still life was placed in the center, and everyone gathered in a circle, looked up and lowered their heads to instantly draw the image of the structure they saw.
In the quiet classroom, you can only hear the sound of pencils rubbing on the drawing paper, which is orderly in the chaos, very rhythmic and rhythmic, and there are students who walk back and forth from time to time, or stand up and adjust their drawings visually, or pick up a pencil sharpener to sharpen the head of the pencil that has been drawn bald, in short, they all have their own things to do.
No talking, only seriousness.
That's what it is like when it comes to drawing.
Subsequently, these two teachers also popularized a lot of knowledge about the Academy of Fine Arts to us, and at this time, I had some concepts in my mind.
The major art academies have become my ultimate goal.
In the past few days, the painting training is mainly based on sketching, and it is said that the most difficult thing in the exam is sketching, so it is necessary to consolidate the foundation.
Only by laying a good foundation can you enhance your self-confidence, and in the future, you will have more opportunities to choose.
I had a great time in this training camp because I was repeatedly praised.
The cause is unknown.
After I gave a picture to the teacher, she showed it in public and even pasted it on the blackboard, which greatly boosted my self-confidence and at the same time brought pressure.
From the beginning of the zero foundation to a small example of everyone in the class to observe and learn, it is still a small achievement, very satisfied.
Do I have a talent for art in my bones?
Maybe.
I don't know how others are, but I'm happy, not only to learn, but also to encourage.
I'll never worry about my painting being bad anymore.
At the same time, the pressure that comes with it, because of the praise from the teacher, each of my works carries a lot of expectations.
Therefore, the moment you pick up the brush, you are destined to be extraordinary.
Come on, live up to expectations.
The next ten days were spent like this, and I and several other classmates became the objects of the whole class, which was an honor and a surprise at the same time.
Because the other students have been studying art for at least three years, and I seem to be in a mess. Painting is purely based on feeling, and this is mainly based on copying, is it difficult?
Copying is to copy and copy the exact same copy of someone else's drawing, which is necessary for beginner learning, and even then everyone doesn't seem to be very good at drawing.
It's always weird to draw it.
Although my copying is not bad, when it comes to sketching, the foundation is really exposed, and my mind is a mess, which is typical rote memorization.
It's also a way to learn.
The more than ten days of intensive training ended successfully, and I felt that I had reached a higher level on the road of art, and I had a different experience.
……
Winter break is coming.
"I'm back, let's get together in the park."
Na sent me a message out of the blue.
Coming back? I didn't seem to know that she had ever left, that I was incompetent. It must be that high school life is too fulfilling, and I haven't had time to care about Na.
She just said that she didn't study anymore, but she didn't say where it went, so it seemed that she had left her hometown and went out to work.
I admire her courage.
If it were me, I would not know what I would be able to do when I went out without studying, as if I couldn't do anything, maybe I didn't even have the most basic ability to survive.
At the moment, I will only study and show the student obligation to the fullest.
I admire her, and she envies me.
In short, people will always subconsciously envy the lives of others, in fact, living their own lives is the most meaningful.
After agreeing on the time and place with Na, I went to the small park, which is very close to my school, and after meeting her, I just went directly to the school, killing two birds with one stone.
I haven't seen her for half a year, she is still thinking about me, but I haven't been able to pay attention to her in time.
Ashamed......
Na is still the same as before, prosperous and simple.
She smiled brightest, beckoned to me in front of her, and I waved the same and walked towards her.
Indescribable nostalgia and touching.
Then, get closer.
The gaze was fixed on her hands, which were a pair of hands that had been polished over the years, watching her scarred, and the distress spread instantly.
How much suffering did it take to cultivate such a tough hand.
That's when I learned that in the past six months, she went to another prosperous city to learn the job of a chef, which is simply cooking.
She loves to cook home cooking.
Now it's just time to make the most of my strengths.
I thought, Na is so patient, cooking must be delicious, because cooking with heart is the best.
The premise is that the process must be very painful and torturous.
I used to hear about people who studied cooking, but not many of them were able to stick to it, but now that I see Na, I seem to understand the meaning of this sentence.
This road, it's hard.
But she persevered, until now, she still loves her little job, persistence is precious, Na is really great, and silently thumbs up for her in the bottom of her heart.
After a few months of study, Na is now slowly getting into the back kitchen of the restaurant, and it is still only in the stage of getting started, so she can learn a lot by knocking on the side.
Na's intelligence and courage made her choose a path she liked, at least she could see the most real happiness in her heart, and her inner interest could quickly promote her motivation to learn, and she would definitely be a very successful chef in the future.
Best wishes to her.
In fact, as long as it is something you like, you are willing to work hard for it no matter what, provided that you like it.
I really like it.
It's not about going to school, it's not about surviving.
This can be called a dream.
It's not just dreams and imaginations, it's dreams that require action.
……
Inside the park.
We walked all the way down the park path, and in the afternoon, there was a rare quiet.
We talked a lot here, and didn't notice the people or things around us, in the afternoon, it was neither hot nor cold, and even the weather was cooperating with our reunion.
I only had one friend in junior high school, but I think it's enough, not everything is about quantity, and it doesn't mean that more friends are successful, what I care about is quality and the degree of friendship.
It's enough that we all care about each other.
I once heard a lyric that fits my point of view: "There are many people around you, but there are few who are really with you." ”
The reality is that just because there are many people around you doesn't mean that this person is not lonely.
In the course of the conversation, I found out that Na had several other friends who were her roommates in junior high school, and they also had a good relationship, and Na did not force me to intersect with them.
Na is not the only friend of mine, but I am the only one who has her.
Loss is inevitable, but it has not affected our relationship, after all, everyone has their own life, or how to choose, it is meaningless, and what kind of life they live in the end is also up to themselves, and if they feel good, that is really good.
Now, I can't say that I enjoy life, but at least I'm not so negative.
I love in an effort.
……
Going around and around, it can be seen that Na really misses this place, after all, she is working hard alone, and she must be very homesick at that time.
Eventually, she persevered, and that's where the praise goes.
Walked to a bubble tea shop and stopped, rested for a while, and ordered two cups of milk tea by the way.
During the chat, Na suddenly changed the topic and asked, "I don't have much contact with the classmates in our class, I feel like you are doing well in school!" I regret it a little now, why didn't I go back to school in the first place, hey! Do you know where they went, Mr. G? Do you still have contact with them? ”
Sure enough, Na must have seen this problem, which classmate couldn't see the strength and high-profile of classmate G at that time? Junior high school students already have abstract logical thinking.
I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head, pretending not to know.
After all, I'm not interested in him right now.
Although I don't know why Na deliberately emphasized classmate G, I didn't ask too much.
I saw Na sigh and continued: "I remember, when you lost your chemistry book, Student G looked for a whole night of self-study, and he was very anxious. ”
"Huh?" I was surprised.
It turned out that my chemistry book disappeared out of thin air at that time, but it didn't appear out of thin air, and it was retrieved with the help of classmate G, why didn't I know anything, and he didn't tell me......
He should be thanked.
Now you know, isn't it too late?
After all, we don't have any contact anymore, it's too late, it's too late, that's fate.
Na just mentioned it casually, and quickly changed the topic, she was also afraid that I would be embarrassed.
I'm not embarrassed, I only feel embarrassed if I care.
I admit that I used to have some crush on him, but I've let it go for a long time, haven't I?!
Knowing one's heart is the least respect for oneself.
Separated from Na again, I walked on the way back to school, thinking, and then took out my mobile phone and logged on to Mr. G's account, yes, I know his account password.
Log in and destroy all the original little illusions.
Not only is he in love again, but he is also in online dating, is he so trendy?
Although I knew that I had violated the privacy of others, he told me the account password and logged in, so this is not an infringement.
I only blame myself for being cheap.
This also proves his intentions again, so it is fine, naively I am afraid that he will continue to pay the wrong intentions.
Not necessarily.
Surprisingly, G didn't change the password!
I guess I forgot about it.
Logging out, deleting information, is the first and last login, there should be a prompt on his side, and if he asks, he will also say truthfully, after all, there is nothing to hide.
What is indelible in my mind is their couple's screen name, which seems to be true love, so much so that I am not willing to change it until today.
Later, we also communicated with each other, but they were all based on his initiative, I was still a machine answering questions, I couldn't understand his initiative, what is this?
Spare tire?
Right!
However, I don't want to be a spare tire, I come and go as soon as I am called, I advocate human rights and freedom, so it is obvious that I am perfunctory, and it is impossible for him not to see my perfunctory.
I didn't question him, after all, I didn't have any qualifications and I didn't care.
That's my attitude, and I won't hide it in the slightest.
Maybe I'm a spare tire, but I'm definitely not going to go back and compromise easily, and judging by today's situation, I should thank him and delete him.
Can a person really have a boyfriend or girlfriend and still connect with the person he once liked?
I can't do it, and I don't understand how he did it.
