91, the mud bodhisattva on the surface of gold and jade
Wan Changsheng suspected that Du Wen had seen his wallet, and when he went to buy a platinum bracelet for his mother as he said, he was surprised to find that the money he earned during the whole period of studying happened to be spent cleanly, and even the sketch class fee that Lao Cao gave him in the last period of time was gone!
had to dig out the previous bank card to buy a pair of platinum earrings for Jia Huanhuan as well.
But in fact, until Wan Changsheng went out, the thing he bought for Jia Huanhuan the most was probably the hemp candy at the entrance of the village, why did it suddenly skyrocket to this level of consumption.
Wan Changsheng also felt that he was being brought to the rhythm outside.
After only three months of absence, he felt out of place when he returned to the Guanyin Temple.
took a bus to the city, and then called a taxi back to the town, and just got off the bus to buy hemp candy for Huanhuan, Wan Changsheng fell back into the enthusiasm and hustle and bustle of his parents and fellow villagers.
Aunt Zhang, who sells hemp candy, attracted Aunt Zhou next door to bring out the rice cakes, saying that Wan Changsheng must miss it if he hasn't eaten it for a long time.
The seventh uncle who was sitting in front of the shop opposite, who had already begun to bask in the sun in the morning to pass the time, jumped over and happily took pictures and sent them to the group of relatives and friends.
Every family feels that they are very idle in a good time, and they come out to see Changsheng with their families!
There are fewer young men, mainly uncles and aunts, who pull his clothes without seeing it, and sigh that he has been in the city for a few months, and the taste of the champion is gone!
What is the taste of champion?
In the past, Wan Changsheng had been living in this kind of onlookers, and he could basically deal with it indifferently, say a few words to his relatives with a smile, and immerse himself in the stele forest.
But now I feel very noisy, and quickly emphasized: "I still have to take the college entrance examination, this is just to finish the professional exam of painting, I still have to prepare for the exam, at that time I can only be said to be admitted to the university, and it is just a very ordinary art college, not a great thing......
Relatives don't see it that way: "You are a Wenqu star, and you can calm the examiner's ...... in the blink of an eye"
There are also old generations who twist their beards and make gestures: "Even if you take the exam, you still have to go to the palace to take the exam, simple, simple, you just need to throw out their knowledge for them!" ”
Wan Changsheng wanted to cry, maybe it was just last night, Wan Changsheng just enjoyed the extremely comfortable literary and artistic atmosphere of "talking and laughing, and there is no white ding", and now the contrast is too great.
Who gave you the courage to say that you can be unimpeded by such a country boy from the Guanyin Temple, just by meeting a city girl like Du Wen, you can play yourself around, you are really too congested!
But he couldn't put on a face yet, and thanked everyone for their enthusiasm: "I have to go to see my mother and grandfather first, and then go to the temple and ancestral hall to worship." ”
How could the little trick of wanting to get out be so easy to succeed, some of the relatives surrounded him to go together, and the others began to enthusiastically put up a flowing water table to celebrate!
This flowing water seat was actually set up for three days in one breath, which made Wan Changsheng panic, and he just wanted to hide in the stele forest.
But apparently, he only has to perform his newly learned sketch portraits on the table every day, from Sun Erniang to grandfather, and then to several uncles and aunts are happy to be models, and they are amazed that this is Western painting!
Grandpa also drank two cups happily for this.
It wasn't until Jia Huanhuan finished the final exam of middle school in the city and rushed back at noon non-stop that Wan Changsheng was rescued from the banquet of his relatives.
I was finally able to hide in the Guanyin Temple.
The temple was still open, but the clamor of worshippers who were thriving incense was kept out of the courtyard.
Wan Changsheng and Jia Huanhuan, who grew up in the Guanyin Temple since childhood, must be familiar with each other like the backyard of their homes.
Or rather, this is meant to be a backyard.
Wan Changsheng pushed the door and stepped into the side hall of the ancestral hall full of tablets and four ancestor statues, Jia Huanhuan hurriedly put the hemp candy paper bag he was holding next to him, wiped his hands vigorously on the fat blue and white sports school uniform, and then raised his right foot to cross the threshold, and followed Wan Changsheng to kneel in front of the tablet with his hands folded.
The expression that smiled from the moment they met suddenly became quiet and virtuous, even if it still couldn't hide the joy in the corners of her eyes.
It seems that kneeling here with Brother Changsheng like this is the happiest thing.
Wan Changsheng explained from the beginning why he went out to be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, and what the situation is now: "There is still a week or so, if the art examination results come out, if I can meet the standard, I will go all out to take the college entrance examination, learn more painting skills outside, and then ...... the Guanyin Temple handed down by my ancestors."
Suddenly, Wan Changsheng paused here.
Huanhuan, who had already squinted at the countless simulated worship of heaven and earth, quietly opened one eye and playfully watched the pause of Brother Changsheng.
Wan Changsheng had a thought in his mind that he had never thought of, so he said: "I want to hold an art training class in the village, so that the children of Guanyin Village and the surrounding villages and towns can learn art for free, and those who have talent will go to the art academy with me, and if they don't have talent, then treat it as a craft, at least whether it is playing stone tablets or painting murals, they can not only support the things in the Guanyin Temple, but also do something......
In the past few days, Wan Changsheng feels that the villagers in the village are too idle!
The old uncles and aunts are so lazy and idle, they can't say, they are used to this kind of small peasant life, but watching those children also play all day long, I only know that anyway, the clansmen can feed and eat, and they also give pocket money every month, and the thirteen or fourteen-year-old children follow the skillful mahjong play, Wan Changsheng felt panicked!
In the past, he never thought about this, because he grew up like this since he was a child, but he still has the responsibility of a temple keeper, and there are so many crafts to learn, and it just so happens that he really likes it.
So I didn't get addicted to it.
I didn't think about it when I was in Jiangzhou.
But when he came back and remembered the young people who were working frantically in the intensive cram school, Wan Changsheng suddenly panicked a little for the Guanyin Temple.
As a temple warden, shouldn't you be pointing in the right direction?
Guanyin Temple can't support more and more idle villagers.
Wan Changsheng instinctively felt that something would happen.
Jia Huanhuan hurriedly whispered: "The craftsmanship is passed down from men to women in our families......
She has long been accustomed to being the little daughter-in-law of the Wan family.
Wan Changsheng laughed: "We thought it was some peerless martial arts, but in fact, it was a stall for ten yuan a piece when we got it outside!" ”
Huanhuan hurriedly kowtowed to the ancestor and explained: "Brother Changsheng is so powerful outside!" will definitely carry forward the craftsmanship of our ten thousand families, Brother Changsheng thinks so! ”
Wan Changsheng smiled and bowed deeply: "Then I will decide." ”
Then he took Jia Huanhuan and got up and came out.
Huanhuan picked up the hemp candy, picked a small piece from it and fed it to Wan Changsheng, and persuaded in a soft voice: "Do you want to tell grandpa first?" ”
Wan Changsheng pondered: "Some of the old people's thinking is difficult to change, I made my own decision, I'll call your father to help, there are less than twenty days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, now the children of each family are on vacation, I will immediately hurry up to get this training class up, and save these children from teasing cats and dogs and causing trouble!" What is the use of playing mahjong well? ”
Huanhuan's eyes widened, feeling that Brother Changsheng was a little different from before.
But what Wan Changsheng didn't expect was that even Jia Huanhuan's father didn't support him in holding a training class: "These little rabbit cubs can learn any craft, but the unique work of the Wan family can't be let go, this is the principle that the ancestors said can't be changed!" ”
Originally, I wanted to ask my future father-in-law to buy some paper, pencil and paint, and then support the classroom space, but Wan Changsheng was blocked as soon as he proposed it.
The twenty-year-old future temple keeper is rarely tough: "Jia Bo, the craftsmanship of the Wan family is not a great thing, the traffic was blocked in the past, the information was not developed, maybe our craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation within a radius of dozens of miles, but now a little farther away, it is the provincial capital, the municipality directly under the central government, and even in our city, there are art cram schools, these things have long been rare!" ”
The future husband is very stubborn: "Changsheng, we have today in the Guanyin Temple, relying on the rules of the ancestors, you don't understand at home all day long, we see more things outside, no matter whether this craft is rare or not, we have to offer it, so that the hearts of every household in the entire Guanyin Temple will not disperse!" When people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team, this truth, the ancestors have long said! ”
Only then did Wan Changsheng realize that he was also a mud bodhisattva who had been offered!
