Jing Zhaodi's daughter looks very similar to her, with single eyelids and a high nose bridge plus the iconic thick lips, not to mention the lack of a front tooth, it is impossible for Shu Xin to admit her mistake, and asked seriously,

"Did your daughter go to Teacher Zhang Hanshou to take the assessment?"

Zhang Huachuan is a famous master of Chinese painting, previously served as a professor at the National Academy of Fine Arts, retired at the beginning of this year and returned to his hometown of Huaning, and the news that he wanted to accept apprentices, and only accepted young apprentices under the age of 12.

I don't know how many people from all over the country have been attracted to send their children to Huaning.

It's a pity that the conditions for the master to accept apprentices are very harsh, and in the end, only three children passed the master's assessment.

On the same day, the master also invited people from the Yongjun photo studio to take pictures, and Shu Xin also saw the good photos, two little girls, a little boy, one of them is Yiyi, who has changed her surname to Han, and there is a little girl who is in the same class as Yiyi and is also a good friend.

The next week, when Yiyi came back, she told her with a sad face that another little girl quit, saying that it was because her family couldn't afford the tuition fee of 500 yuan a year.

Shu Xin felt a pity, so he glanced at the group photo a few more times, and inadvertently remembered the little girl's face in his mind.

looks exactly like the little girl in Jing Zhaodi's family photo, and she should be the daughter of Director Jing.

Jing Zhaodi heard Shu Xin ask, and said with some regret,

"Yes! My daughter likes to draw and also likes Chinese painting, of course I sent her over, but unfortunately she didn't pass the assessment..."

Raise your eyebrows comfortably,

"On the tenth day of the second lunar month, Master Zhang selected three little apprentices, including Sister Jin Zhi's daughter Yiyi, my godfather went to help take pictures, and your daughter was also on that photo, how could she not pass the assessment?"

"What??? You mean..."

"Really... It's true? ”

Jing Zhaodi stammered a little, and when she saw Shu Xin's solemn nod, her mind was clouded.

"How... I remember very clearly, I didn't go back until ten o'clock that night, Xiaoxi never slept, crying and telling me that I couldn't go, and I kept holding and comforting her until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night before she fell asleep..."

Shu Xin keenly grasped the point.

"I can't go, it's not that I didn't pass... Xiaoxi should know that the tuition fee costs 500 yuan a year, which is not a small amount. ”

"I can't go, it's not that I didn't pass..."

Jing Zhaodi repeated it slowly, and then her face turned pale, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

"I remember, my mother and my brother came that day, saying that my brother and sister needed money for pregnancy, and took a thousand yuan from my family, and there was only one hundred yuan left in our family's passbook, Xiaoxi should know... That's why she said... Can't go..."

She closed her eyes, and several eye lines at the corners of her eyes kept trembling.

"This stupid boy! How can such a great opportunity...? I don't know if it's too late to find Master Zhang Huachuan now..."

After Shu Xin knew that she didn't know, her attitude was much better, and she said softly, "It should be in time, I see that in that photo, the master is holding Xiaoxi, and he should like her very much!" ”

When Jing Zhaodi heard this, she felt a little better, and held her comfortable hand,

"Thank you, Shuxin, if you hadn't come today, I would really..."

Shu Xin sighed and said,

"You still know that? What about those you don't know? Obviously, you are so capable, you can make Xiaoxi live a better life! You're..."

"I won't say more, think for yourself."

Shu Xin turned her head and left, but Jing Zhaodi's heart felt like she had been stabbed, blood slowly flowed out of her heart, and she fell to the ground in pain.

In order to prove herself, she worked hard to study and work, and entered the daily chemical plant at the age of sixteen, from a small operator all the way to the director, and then all the way to the factory director, and then to the general manager of the department store.

Her parents had a much better attitude towards her, but they began to let her use money to subsidize her family and younger brother, saying that this was what she should do as an older sister.

Every time she gave money, her parents would praise her and be good to her, and for these "good", she was like a demon and paid willingly.

Unexpectedly, these obsessions have affected people who really love themselves.

She hadn't thought about it before, but now she opened the floodgates like a beast of prey.

Xiaoxi's whitewashed red dress, the medicine used by her lover has been replaced with a cheap one, her brother has bought a new shirt, and her brother-in-law is going to buy supplements again...

One by one, one by one, these small details that she didn't notice before, or in other words, deliberately ignored, pierced her even more painfully...

……

Shu Xin was originally going to go back to Lingfu Island in the evening, but the matter at the restaurant construction site was delayed for a while, and he didn't have time to rush to the dock, so he went to pick up Yiyi with Jin Zhi's sister-in-law.

Every day after school at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Yiyi would go to Master Zhang Huachuan to learn Chinese painting for an hour and a half, and when they arrived at the entrance of the alley where the master lived, it was already 6:20 minutes.

At this time, many families had just finished eating, and many children were playing in the yard, and when they came out of the courtyard of the master, a few teenage leather children saw it, and pointed at her and didn't know what to say.

The thin monkey who also came to pick up Yiyi not far away heard it, argued with a few children, and immediately scuffled together.

Shu Xin and Sister-in-law Jin Zhi hurriedly went to stop them, although they drove away a few children, the thin monkey's eyes were still punched twice, and they instantly swollen.

When he returned to Ji's house, Yiyi took out the boiled eggs from the refrigerator and helped the thin monkey roll his swollen eyes very skillfully.

Sister-in-law Jin Zhi asked what was going on with the two with a straight face, and the thin monkey saw that Sister-in-law Jin Zhi was angry, and hurriedly explained.

"They scolded my sister Yiyi! I'm going to beat them! ”

"If they scold people, what's wrong with you letting them scold a few words? No matter how you say it, you can't fight! You're so bad too! Bad boy! ”

They all checked it just now, and the thin monkey had a lot of fighting injuries on his body, and when he saw that he had been fighting a lot in the past few days, he was angry enough for Han Jinzhi and Shu Xin, and he was very disappointed when he looked at him.

The thin monkey was deflated and didn't speak, his eyes were slightly red, Yiyi couldn't stand it anymore, and he also said with red eyes.

"It's not that Brother Skinny Monkey wants to fight, it's because they scold me for being a wild seed without a father, and he can't listen to it, so he will help me beat them..."

"This..."

Han Jinzhi didn't expect it to be because of this, his eyes instantly turned red, and he muttered.

"It's all my fault..."

Yiyi was the most sensible, and hurriedly pulled Han Jinzhi's arm and said,

"Mom, I'm fine, don't be angry, don't be sad! I know they're all jealous of my apprentices who can be a teacher, but I don't really care! ”

Han Jinzhi touched his daughter's head, and then turned to the panda-eyed thin monkey.

"I'm sorry, Skinny Monkey, I shouldn't have said that about you just now!"

The thin monkey skin is very solid, and he also smiled and stuck to Han Jinzhi's other arm, and said with a smile,

"Mom, I'm fine!"
