Chapter 9: It's Cold in the Heights
The sun was already very high, but it was the middle of winter, the sun did not shine on the body and there was not much temperature, and the wind was strong, Ruan Wen had been sitting on the stone steps for a long time, his hands were red from the cold, and he was already a little numb.
"Miss Ruan, you put on these gloves, it will be warmer." Li Wen handed Ruan Wen a brand new pair of gloves.
"You...... Did you buy me gloves just now? You really don't have to break the bank, and it's not easy for you to ......."
"It's okay, I still want to continue to learn painting from you, and I don't have any teaching fees, so it is natural to give the teacher a pair of gloves."
"I ...... Thank you so much. ”
The gloves were warm, the size was very suitable, and Ruan Wen's heart was warm, as warm as the warm sun in winter.
"By the way, Miss Ruan......"
"You don't have to be so polite, just call me Ruan Wen."
"Ruan Wen, there is still something to do with Uncle Xin in the afternoon, and the exhibition will not end for a while, I'm afraid I can't accompany you......"
"It's okay, you go get busy, I've already delayed you a lot of time today."
"I'm really sorry, this is the phone number in Uncle Xin's shop, you can find me if you have something."
Before leaving, Li Wen handed a note with a phone number written on it to Nguyen Wen.
"Okay, I'll take it, Li asked you to pay attention to safety on the road when you go back."
On the way, Li Wen passed by a restaurant, stopped for a few seconds, thought about it, and still stopped eating.
He wasn't hungry, and he wasn't used to eating all the time, so it was a test for him to fall in love with human food.
When Li Wen returned to the watch shop, Uncle Xin was having lunch.
"Hey, stinky boy, it's very punctual, saying that taking a half-day off is a half-day off, have you eaten it, do you want to have a little, pork stewed vermicelli, I cooked it myself."
Uncle Xin was sweating on his forehead and his lips were oily. "The noodles were brought from China by the fellow of Lao Xu next door, and I knew that I was good at this bite, so I sent two handfuls for me to taste, the taste is very punctual, take a bite?"
"No, Uncle Xin, I've already eaten it."
No matter how good the food is, it tastes the same as chewing wax for Li Wen, and some things cannot be obtained by copying and pasting.
"Stinky boy, you're not good at food, I don't know what you like, you still have to have a hobby as a person, otherwise you will be very lonely."
Lonesome?
Perhaps......
I don't know how many light years have passed, and I can't bear the loneliness more and more, and the consequences of not being able to bear the loneliness need to be vented, and every time I vent, it will cause the space to break, the galaxy to break, and if it goes on like that, sooner or later I will destroy the entire universe.
And now, human beings are the best people for me to spend my lonely time.
They have a lot of things that I need to learn.
"Okay, don't be stunned, stinky boy, if you have nothing to do, hurry up and work, the customer is very urgent, you didn't come in the morning, but I'm busy, the order must be completed before dark."
"Understood."
Li Wen put on his old apron and started his afternoon work early.
Li Wen was already familiar with these tasks, and there was no difficulty, and he was already washing his hands before the sun set.
"Stinky boy, come over here, someone is looking for you." Uncle Xin held the telephone receiver and shouted at the sink at the counter.
"Oh, here we are."
Li Wen wiped his hands clean.
"It's a woman." When Uncle Xin handed over the telephone receiver to Li Wen, he nodded his head and whispered with a smile, and after speaking, he patted Li Wen's shoulder again, and left by himself, leaving private space.
"Hey, hello."
"Li asked, is that you?"
"Are you...... Nguyen Van Van ? ”
"It's me, it's me! Lee asked me to tell you a piece of good news! Nguyen Wen's voice on the phone sounded excited. My paintings were sold, all three sold! ”
Her voice trembled a little with excitement.
Li Wen smiled secretly in his heart, and deliberately made a surprised tone: "Really?!" Congratulations, I'll say you'll make it. The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. ”
"Thank you, Lee asked." Nguyen Wen's voice was already choked.
Maxima often has, but Bole is not often, and he has worked hard for 20 years just to find Bole.
She began to learn to paint at the age of seven, and now she is in her twenties.
"Li asked, I really want to meet the people who bought my paintings."
"What, you don't know who bought your paintings?" Li Wen asked again deliberately.
"I don't know, I asked, and they said that the person who bought my painting only left the name of 'painter', but I didn't know who the 'painter' was."
Li Wen almost laughed out loud, it seems that Chen Jiahao has done this thing quite well.
"Ruan Wen, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, it's a good thing that someone buys a painting, this is at least a good start, by the way, do you still have time at night?"
"What, what's wrong with you?"
"That...... You promised me to teach me how to draw every night......"
"That's what you're talking about...... However, not tonight, I will attend a charity dinner, which is held as part of an art exhibition, and I sold three paintings at a time, and I was specially invited. ”
"Then I'm going to congratulate you again."
In many cases, it only takes an opportunity to get ahead, and if the opportunity arises, if you can seize it, you can soar into the sky and get on your own stage.
"Okay, Li asked, let's not talk about it for now, I want to prepare for the dinner."
"Okay, then I'll hang up."
After Li Wen hung up the phone, he found that Uncle Xin was looking at him with a wicked smile.
"You kid, you're really a stubborn donkey."
Uncle Xin usually nagged so much, but this kid still didn't listen to it at all, and he still went to the female painter in private.
"Uncle Xin, I know you're going to say I'm ...... again"
"Say anything to you, Lao Tzu wants to congratulate you."
"Congratulations?" Li asked, puzzled.
"Of course, I want to congratulate you, I used to advise you not to work in vain, because people who pursue art are not ordinary people can get it, and I advise you not to do useless work, work steadfastly, and make money to marry a daughter-in-law. But now it's different, and if you work harder, it's not impossible to succeed. ”
People who study art are very persistent, but once they can move her, they will inevitably reap loyal and happy love.
"Uncle Xin, for so long, I finally heard you say something once."
"Okay, you stinky boy, are you praising me, or are you scolding me? Is the work done, get out of here when it's done, and say Uncle Xin, I'm in the way of you. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Xin."
Of course, Li Wen knew that Uncle Xin sent him away to ask him to make persistent efforts and give him plenty of time to work hard, work hard, and work hard.
But tonight, Ruan Wen had already gone to the charity dinner, and Li Wen, who had nothing to do when he got home, could only sleep comfortably.
The next morning, Li Wen got up on time.
When he locked the door, he saw that the doors and windows next door were closed, and it was quiet inside.
Ruan Wen has no habit of getting up early, she attended the dinner again last night, and it is estimated that she went to bed very late.
Li Wen picked up the bicycle and walked a long way lightly, before stepping on the saddle and starting to ride, the bicycle was very old, and there was noise when riding, and he was afraid that the noise would wake her up.
As he was riding past the traffic light intersection, a familiar luxury car stopped next to him.
The car window opened, and Chen Jiahao said inside: "Li asked, do you have time to talk?" ”
