Chapter 5: The Power of an Article

"Mr. Xiao, your homestay is so cultural? This welcome pine is really good! Liu Siqi is a reporter from Zicheng Newspaper and was invited by Xiao Jianhong to do an interview for Qingquan B&B. Walking into the door of the B&B, you will be greeted by a welcome pine wall painting, and many tourists have stood in front of the welcome pine to take pictures, which makes Liu Siqi not only pick up the camera and take a few photos that she is satisfied with.

"Haha, Reporter Liu. This wall painting is only the first piece, at the beginning of the establishment of the B&B, I have already designed these themes, Qingquan B&B is not only a place to eat and sleep, but also a place with a cultural atmosphere...."Xiao Jianhong stood aside, thinking about his future plan for Qingquan B&B.

Liu Siqi just smiled and didn't make a sound, but continued to visit the construction of the homestay, and from a distance she saw a painter covered in paint, concentrating on the wall to paint the wall painting, which is a very textured picture, a bit like the style of those literary and artistic young people she saw when she was interviewed in other places. Liu Siqi involuntarily raised the camera in his hand and took a picture.

"Reporter Liu, this is my nephew, who is also a painter. I asked him to paint the walls of our homestay, and what you saw along the way was painted by my nephew! Pony.... Pony.... Come here! Xiao Jianhong beckoned to Xiao Baoju......

"Second uncle, what's wrong?" Xiao Baoju walked towards Xiao Jianhong with a paintbrush.

"Baoju, let me introduce you, this is reporter Liu from our newspaper, reporter Liu is my nephew Xiao Baoju. What's that, Baoju, you accompany Reporter Liu around, and by the way, introduce these works of yours! Xiao Jianhong handed over the reception to Xiao Baoju. After all, there are some things that I don't understand because of my low culture!

"Two... Second uncle, I... Can I do it? I'm still drawing? "Xiao Baoju is also panicked, are people good reporters? What are you doing? Be a guide for others?

"Mr. Xiao, it's okay. I'll just go shopping by myself, and your company will affect me to find inspiration! I'm going to see those paintings that Mr. Xiao painted! Liu Siqi couldn't help but wonder, these uncles and nephews are interesting enough. In fact, after shopping for a while, Liu Siqi already has an inspiration theme in his mind, and he can start with these wall paintings for Qingquan B&B. At lunchtime, Liu Siqi asked Xiao Baoju a lot of questions.

Xiao Jianhong prepared a lot of agricultural products for Liu Siqi, and Xiao Baoju helped to carry Liu Siqi to the car. "Reporter Liu, that, can I take a picture of you?" Xiao Baoju said with some embarrassment.

"Take pictures? Brother Xiao, why are you taking pictures of me? Liu Siqi was stunned, what photos did he take for himself without doing an interview?

"Well, I want to paint you a picture!" Xiao Baoju couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, usually when did he have the opportunity to contact this kind of character? If there is no follow-up contact, I am afraid that I will miss some opportunities!

"Draw for me? That's great, what. Brother Xiao, I'll send you a few photos of me in a moment! Liu Siqi agreed happily. When I interviewed these artists before, all of them had nostrils facing the sky, but this Xiao Baoju seems to be different?

In the evening, Xiao Baoju returned to the village after having dinner on the mountain. I haven't been home for a few days, Xiao Baoju has to go back and change his clothes! Walking into the village, "Second sister-in-law, bring me a pack of cigarettes!" Xiao Baoju walked into the Aihua store, looked at Zhang Aihua and said.

"Yo! Treasure Horse? What kind of cigarettes do you want? Zhang Aihua walked over with a smile.

Xiao Baoju returned to the cold old mansion, lying on the bed and looking at the photos Liu Siqi sent to him on his mobile phone. I have to say that Liu Siqi is still a girl with a lot of temperament, with a trace of vigorous and resolute femininity between her eyebrows, which also makes Xiao Baoju's painting arousal, so he simply turned on the lamp in the studio and started his creative journey.

Liu Siqi's article was sent out, and there was a full-page report on Qingquan B&B, but the content was a little inclined to Xiao Baoju. It wasn't until three days later that Xiao Jianhong arranged for someone to come to Xiao Baoju's house. "Brother Baoju, Brother Baoju, don't sleep. Hurry up...."

"What's the matter? Burning eyebrows? Xiao Baoju painted all night, and the next day he was woken up by the second egg with sleepy eyes. Sloppy came to the courtyard and opened the courtyard door.

"Brother Baoju, hurry up and get dressed and come with me. Go.... Go to the villa, Brother Baoju, you.... You're going to send it! Erdan hurriedly pulled Xiao Baoju and was about to go out.

"Erdan, what's wrong? What's going on? Xiao Baoju looked confused.

"Oops, I... I can't tell you, you... Hurry up, follow me to the villa! The second egg couldn't help but pull Xiao Baoju and walked out, got on the motorcycle and drove quickly towards the villa.

Walking into the reception room of the villa, Xiao Baoju saw that his second uncle Xiao Jianhong was talking with the old man who thought he had an extraordinary bearing, "Baoju, come here." Let me introduce to you, this is Master Wang Linkai, a famous painter. Master, this is my nephew Xiao Baoju. ”

"Hello, young man!" Wang Linkai slowly stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Xiao Baoju's hand. "You're very good, I just looked at the wall painting you painted, you're very talented!" Wang Linkai patted Xiao Baoju on the shoulder and encouraged.

Xiao Baoju's face was cloudy, and so far he didn't know what was going on. "It seems that the master has a heart for talent?" At this time, a stranger sitting next to him said happily.

"Young man, do you have any teachers?" Wang Linkai looked at Xiao Baoju seriously and asked.

"Big... Master, I... I learned it in school, no... There is no formal apprenticeship! Xiao Baoju was a little nervous and replied stumblingly.

"And what are you studying?" Wang Linkai continued to ask.

"I studied architectural design, but after graduating, I started an art training class, and until some time ago, the training class could not be operated."

"Very good, it seems that the basic skills are there, so have you ever studied Chinese painting?"

"Also.... I haven't learned yet, I've learned oil painting, pastel, drawing, sketching, I haven't learned Chinese painting! Xiao Baoju vaguely felt that his opportunity seemed to be coming.

"Then would you like to learn Chinese painting from me?"

"Willing.... Willing! Xiao Baoju only felt that his blood pressure had soared, what kind of character was this? Are you willing to take yourself as an apprentice? It's pure pie in the sky!

"Baoju, why don't you kowtow to Master Wang quickly?" Xiao Jianhong is also really happy for his nephew.

"Boss Xiao, today is just to meet with Baoju, I will prepare after I go back to my official apprenticeship, and in a few days, choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and have a formal occasion!" Wang Linkai waved his hand and didn't let Xiao Baoju kowtow to him.
