Although it is already winter, outside the old alleys, the streets of the city are still very lively.

Xu Yuanshan stood at the crossroads of people and was a little dazed, as if a morning of resistance had no effect, he still couldn't make decisions for himself, he still had to rely on Huang Bin's family, and even gave the other party a hundred yuan every week, and he didn't even know where to make so much money......

"Yuanshan, what are you doing standing here?" Qi Dai's voice came, and Xu Yuanshan realized that he had just unknowingly walked to the vicinity of the boxing gym.

Qi Dai was wearing a white sweatshirt and black sweatpants under a water-red jacket, and the whole person was fresh and vibrant, "Are you okay?" ”

Xu Yuanshan pulled out a smile, "It's okay." ”

Qi Dai was already very familiar with him, so she could naturally see that he had something on his mind, but she wouldn't force him to tell her everything, she pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Let's go to the boxing gym quickly, Uncle Yu called just now." ”

Xu Yuanshan came back to his senses at this time, and he didn't think about the bad things in the morning for the time being.

But he is still too young, even if he tries his best to pretend that nothing happened, he is still seen through by familiar people, Yu Chuan stopped the guided action, stared at him for a few seconds, and only said: "Let's do this today, you review it yourself." ”

Yu Chuan is a very thoughtful person, and few people can know what he is thinking.

Xu Yuanshan didn't notice anything, and listened to his words and practiced mechanically.

Qi Dai looked at it for a while, then turned around and followed Yu Chuan.

"Is there something wrong?" Yu Chuan's attitude towards Qi Dai was more gentle.

Qi Dai rubbed her nose and didn't know where to speak.

Yu Chuan asked, "Is it Xu Yuanshan's business?" ”

Qi Dai raised her head in surprise, Yu Chuan smiled and said, "Your uncle mentioned to me that it is rare for you to care about people outside your family, let me help pay more attention." ”

In fact, Deming's original words were: "I guess Dai Dai is in love with that kid, but I don't have evidence for the time being, they go to you, you help me take care of it, they are still young, I am worried that they have no sense of proportion." ”

Yu Chuan was also strange: "You don't object to their early love?" ”

Uncle Deming slumped on the chair like Uncle Deming, and said with an analysis: "It's better to be blocked, Dai Dai likes the new and hates the old since he was a child, and it's better to let them develop on their own, and I think Xu Yuanshan's kid's character is okay." ”

Yu Chuan smiled.

At the end of the recollection, Yu Chuan said to Qi Dai: "Xu Yuanshan looks restrained and cowardly, but he has his own ideas, since he didn't say anything, that is, he can solve it by himself, we just need to believe in him." ”

At present, the only thing that can make Xu Yuanshan worry is probably his best relatives, and they all know it.

"But ......" Qi Dai frowned, and worry was also written on her face: "But he is only thirteen years old, and he is still only himself." ”

Yu Chuan's fingers tapped on the tabletop, thinking.

Qi Dai called him again: "Uncle Yu." ”

"Huh?" Yu Chuan tilted his head.

Qi Dai realized that it was not possible before she could speak.

Xu Yuanshan didn't graduate from junior high school, and any qualified and conscientious company would not recruit child labor, not to mention that she knew Yu Chuan, so it couldn't hurt Yu Chuan to know the law and break the law.

She shook her head, "It's okay. "It's a big deal, I want to find a way to help him.

In the evening, when the two went out of the boxing gym, Qi Dai gave him an apple: "Today is Christmas Eve, this is Ping An Fruit, it is said that if you eat apples at twelve o'clock, you will be safe all year round." ”

In recent years, Western festivals have been introduced to China, and many young people like to join in the fun, and even many businesses will join in various activities at this time.

Xu Yuanshan received a "gift" for the first time on the holiday, and he was a little at a loss, "I, I didn't prepare ......"

Qi Dai smiled and said, "I didn't send you to let you send me back." ”

Xu Yuanshan didn't think so: "I also hope that you will have a safe and peaceful new year." ”

Qi Dai was stunned, this was probably the first time that Xu Yuanshan had expressed his desire to be good to her.

In an instant, she had a new idea, and she said, "I have a wish." ”

Xu Yuanshan really asked, "What wish?" ”

Qi Dai didn't answer and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?" ”

If it was before, Xu Yuanshan was free, but now he ......

Qi Dai stretched out her finger and compared, pouting cutely: "It only takes a morning." ”

Xu Yuanshan couldn't refuse Qi Dai in the first place, and now she couldn't say no in a tone that looked like she was coquettish.

"That's good."

Qi Dai smiled and squinted instantly, "Then we'll see you at the school gate at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay."

The two separated, Qi Dai went home in a good mood, and took out all the brushes and tools that Dai Ying helped her put away.

Qi Dai has already thought about it, now mobile phones are not a must-have for everyone, Weibo has not yet risen, online chat tools only have QQ in addition to text messages, and storybooks are mostly physical books bought, which means that Xu Yuanshan needs to mail it even if he writes a good story.

But there are many publishing houses and magazines, and you don't know which magazine will be selected by the manuscript you vote, so you can only cast a wide net if you have no way.

So she thought that she would submit the manuscript first, and then let Xu Yuanshan try it after being selected, so that the opportunity would be great and she could save Xu Yuanshan some money.

In her previous life, when she was about to resign and return to Yunshi, several publishing houses handed her olive branches, and she understood that one of them had developed at this time.

I believe that with her current painting skills, it is not a big problem to be selected, the problem is that it can't be too "fashionable", and people in the future may not be able to like it now.

This is like green vegetables and radishes, each has its own love, like the popular non-mainstream after a few years, and it will be a representative of black history and rustic atmosphere more than ten years later.

And what she has to do is not to be too wrong, too to catch up.

On a rare weekend, Qi Dai didn't read, but kept painting.

Dai Ying was quite surprised when she came back and saw it, but she waited until she finished painting before she smiled and quipped, "What?" Ready to go back to the art route? ”

Qi Dai stood up and stretched: "No." She hugged Dai Ying's waist and coquettishly: "I just want to see if my skills have regressed." ”

Dai Ying laughed: "This is technology?" ”

Qi Dai ran back to the room, and quickly ran back, holding the freshly drawn painting in her hand to show Dai Ying, "Mom, what do you think?" ”

Dai Ying has no artistic cells, but it does not prevent her from having a pair of eyes that find beauty: "This is what you painted?" ”

Qi Dai nodded again and again, with a face full of words: "Praise me!" Praise me! ”

Dai Ying complimented her, and then asked, "This doesn't seem to be your grandfather's painting method?" ”

Qi Dai's grandfather taught Chinese painting, but unfortunately Dai Ying has no talent for painting, but Qi Dai likes to write and paint with her grandfather since she was a child, and her grandfather teaches her very carefully.

This is also the main reason why Dai Ying and his family do not object to Qi Dai learning to paint.

Qi Dai nodded and shook her head: "This is not my grandfather's painting method, but if it wasn't for the basic painting methods that my grandfather taught me, I wouldn't be able to paint the way I appeared." ”

Dai Ying was relieved: "Your grandfather must be very happy to hear it." ”

Qi Dai immediately asked, "Are you happy then, Mom?" ”

Dai Ying kissed her cheek without hesitation and affirmed: "Of course I'm happy!" My baby daughter is so talented that she is so proud of her mother! ”

Qi Dai was very happy.

After thinking about it, she asked Dai Ying again: "Mom, from your point of view, do you think it is good purely from this painting?" ”

Dai Ying was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Qi Dai said honestly: "I want to submit, Mom, do you think you have a chance to be selected?" ”

It's not that she's not confident, but after all, what is clearly retained in her mind is still more than ten years later, and it's more reliable to ask a contemporary.

"Contribution?"

Qi Dai nodded.

Dai Ying asked, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?" ”

Qi Dai said: "Actually, it has been there for a long time, but it is just now that it is put into action." ”

Dai Ying looked at her for a few seconds, as long as she didn't go the wrong way, she and Qi Ruitang wouldn't interfere too much.

So she looked at Qi Dai's painting seriously, and she was a little mature in her youth, and she came to the conclusion in a few minutes: "Mom thinks it's very good." ”

Qi Dai's hanging heart relaxed.

Dai Ying asked her again: "Is there a publishing house you like?" Do you need your mother's help? ”

Qi Dai hurriedly shook her head: "No, I've grown up." After a pause, he added: "If I can't solve it, I will definitely find you and my father." ”

Dai Ying didn't ask again.
