Chen Fan put down his satchel, but picked up the cloth bag containing the sketchboard shelf, and then turned around and went downstairs.

Lin Yuanxiang saw the bag in his hand and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Chen Fan smiled, "Sketchboard, after chatting with you, I'll go paint." ”

Lin Yuanxiang's eyes lit up, "Why wait to finish talking, find a place where no one is, you draw yours, and I will talk about mine." ”

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, can it still be like this?

But that's what his old man said, so if he does it, maybe he can save some time to go home and make wine.

Out of the brigade headquarters, Chen Fan walked directly to the embankment, turned his head and saw the puzzled look on Lin Yuanxiang's face, he said with a smile, "Draw a distant view first, it is appropriate to climb high on the embankment and look into the distance." Later, I'll go to the fields and draw a close-up. ”

Lin Yuanxiang nodded, followed him unhurriedly with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "You are similar to the few reporters I knew on the battlefield back then, they didn't have cameras, they also held a pencil, and drew on white paper. ”

Chen Fan, "I don't dare to compare with them, they are the same as you and Captain Xiao, they are heroes who dare to advance in the artillery fire, I, ah, is a young man who enjoys the fruits of their victory, so I can only use a paintbrush to paint a corner of the peace and prosperity of the motherland, which can be regarded as a tribute to you and thousands of other heroes." ”

When Lin Yuanxiang heard this, he immediately raised his head and laughed, and he couldn't close his mouth.

After a long while, he said with a smile, "No wonder Lao Xiao likes you so much, you have such a mouth, you have said all the good things, I can't say that you are slapping on the back." ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "This is not a good thing, at most it can be regarded as a statement of facts." ”

After a while, I climbed the embankment and walked a little further, past a small forest, and I could see the busy scene of the fields in the distance below.

Today's weather is good, the wind is mild and the sky is clear, Chen Fan looked left and right, and decided to paint here.

With Lin Yuanxiang's active help, Chen Fan opened the bag, first put up the shelf, then put the drawing board on the shelf, took out a piece of white paper cut by himself and fixed it, and was ready to start painting.

Naturally, there is no professional drawing paper and brush in Nanhu Town, this paper is ordinary white paper, and it is the kind that is fully opened, with an area of almost one square meter, and you need to cut it yourself before you can use it.

Fortunately, Chen Fan's painting skills are good, he has reached LV3, he doesn't pick a pen and paper when he paints, he picks up a pencil and starts painting.

Lin Yuanxiang stood on the side, only to see a few chaotic lines appear on the drawing paper, up and down, left and right, and he couldn't tell what he was drawing at all.

As time passed, there were more and more lines on the paper, and I could gradually see the causeway and the hillside in the distance, as well as the houses and cooking smoke on the slope.

Down there is a large field, from the middle of the completely equal "grid", to the irregular paddy field on the side, just look at the outline, the geomorphological characteristics of Lujiawan have been vividly displayed.

The pencil in Chen Fan's hand swayed on the drawing paper, and in ten minutes, the general framework was completed, and the next step was to fill in the details, which was also the most testing time.

He relaxed, turned his head to look at Lin Yuanxiang, and said with a smile, "Uncle Lin, didn't you say that you wanted to chat with me, what are you talking about?" ”

Lin Yuanxiang came back to his senses at this time, laughed, and said, "I, I've heard too much about you in the past few days, and I say that you have everything." ”

Then he quickly added, "Don't get me wrong, it's all good words." ”

Chen Fan smiled, "I believe this, after all, I don't do bad things." ”

Lin Yuanxiang smiled and pointed at him, "You are confident." ”

After a pause, he continued, "I have also seen a lot of outstanding young people, some of whom were admitted to university at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and some became leaders in their twenties. Back then, on the battlefield in the north, there were countless warriors who were young but killed countless enemies, all of whom were not very old and had great abilities. ”

He turned his head to look at Chen Fan, his eyes were full of curiosity, "There is no doubt about their strength, but whether it is a college student who studies knowledge, or a soldier who kills more than 280 enemies in one day, repels several platoons of enemies with his own strength, and defends two high grounds, they are all specialized in a certain line, the literary is literary, and the martial is martial arts, unlike you, veterinarians, martial arts, and writing articles, even the skills of cooking, ordinary chefs are far inferior to you without twenty or thirty years of hard training." ”

Speaking of this, he asked, "I just want to ask you, do you have any special methods to learn so much at the same time, and you can learn something in a short period of time?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Fan stopped drawing, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Uncle Lin, if I say that there is a way to learn, do you believe it?" ”

Lin Yuanxiang pursed his lips and thought about it, then shook his head slightly, "I can't believe it." ”

After a pause, he said with a straight face, "The so-called learning method, in the final analysis, is just a skill, which can help you master a certain kind of knowledge as soon as possible. But I have never heard of a universal learning method, and I don't believe there will be, and if there is any method that can be universal, it is a strict schedule and a serious learning attitude. ”

Chen Fan spread his hands, "So, I really don't have any special learning methods, if I have to say one, it may be that my brain is a little more flexible, I can delve into what I am interested in, and my learning progress is relatively fast." ”

He Chen Fan can have today's ability, all of which come out of his own liver, so what kind of skill board can't pour knowledge into his brain, it's just icing on the cake!

Looking at Lin Yuanxiang, who nodded thoughtfully, Chen Fan smiled and said, "What's more, there is a point that may have been misunderstood by all of you." ”

Lin Yuanxiang raised his head and looked at him, "Oh? Which point? ”

Chen Fan smiled, "Don't look at the things I understand, but if you really want to dig deeper, most of them are actually not proficient." Only one of the cooking skills is quite good, and the other things can only be regarded as so-so. They think it's amazing because Nanhu Commune lacks talents in this area, and if there is no comparison, they think I'm amazing.

If you go to a big city, it's a different story. Veterinarians are certainly inferior to the senior experts of the agricultural bureau of the prefectural committee, electrical appliance maintenance may even be inferior to the county masters, and radio broadcasters are not as good as the announcers of radio stations,...... In short, I just know a little bit about everything, and I can't be great. ”

When he said this, he was also silently complaining in his heart. Or this skill board is not very easy to use, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to increase the experience points, it was okay before level 3, and up to level 3, the experience points required for upgrading are more, not to mention, the difficulty of obtaining is higher.

This is also the main reason why he never wanted to develop in a single direction in the past, such as being a scientist, or a great writer.

It's too tiring to upgrade in the later stage!

He has been tired for more than ten years before he crossed, and he just wants to live a comfortable and happy life in this life, and on the premise that he has spare energy and is good for himself, he can properly help the people around him develop together.

It's hard to cross once, why make yourself so tired?

As for contributing to the country, he can only do it in the way of "paying more taxes", and in this regard, he promises to become a "tax pacesetter".

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Lin Yuanxiang frowned and thought for a while, "What you said seems to have some truth." ”

Chen Fan turned around and continued to paint, "What you said is the truth, of course it makes sense." ”

Lin Yuanxiang looked at the drawing board, "What about painting, I heard Lao Xiao say that you learned to draw in one day." ”

Chen Fan's face was full of a look of course, "Then did Captain Xiao tell you that I have amnesia." Maybe I learned to draw before, but then I forgot about it, and then I picked up the pen and drew it, and I remembered it as I painted. ”

Lin Yuanxiang's eyes looked at him, "What about martial arts?" Kung fu can't be faked, Lao Xiao is sure that you haven't practiced it before, but you can learn it to this level in two months, what can you say? ”

Chen Fan turned around and smiled slightly, shrugging his shoulders, "Then it can only be said that he is talented and innate, and there is no way." ”

Lin Yuanxiang suddenly became angry.

This kid's shameless appearance is very much the style of his own year.

He took two steps to the side, took out a cigarette stick, lit it, took a puff of cigarette, and suddenly smiled, "Actually, I came out of you today mainly for a matter to see if you are interested." ”

Chen Fan turned his head to look at him, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Yuanxiang said with a smile, "I have a comrade-in-arms whose son is abroad on business and is stationed abroad. I heard him say that the situation abroad is not the same as what the newspapers say, and almost every household in many places has upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones, and there is meat for meals, wine for meals, and many other good things, for example, they can buy cars for private individuals, but not bicycles, but cars with four wheels. ”

Chen Fan looked at his exaggerated expression, a little confused.

The look in his eyes seemed to say, "Why are you telling me this?"

Lin Yuanxiang smiled and continued, "In short, as long as you have the ability and are willing to work, you can live a good life." With your ability, don't say anything else, you can make a lot of money by going out and opening a restaurant. Have you ever wanted to go abroad to earn money? ”

Chen Fan blinked, "What do you mean?" ”

Lin Yuanxiang smiled, pretended to look left and right mysteriously, and whispered, "First, I don't want you to be a traitor, and second, I don't want you to be a traitor, as far as my comrade-in-arms' son is concerned, everything else is good abroad, it's just as bad." ”

Seeing that Chen Fan's face was still full of puzzlement, he smacked his lips, "It's just that he can't eat well, his appetite can't eat abroad, so he thinks about finding a chef to take him abroad." In addition to him, there are more than a dozen staff members in their unit, and if you want, I recommend you to come there.

When you go abroad, he can open a small restaurant for you, so that they can have a place to eat and you can make money, how about it? ”

Chen Fan shook his head as if he had a motor on his neck, "It's not good." ”

Lin Yuanxiang's eyes widened, "You have to think about it, there are not many opportunities like this, if it weren't for their high requirements, they had to find a good chef, you cooked well, this opportunity would not be your turn." ”

After a pause, he said, "And now it's just a recommendation for you to go over, and you have to pass his level." ”

Chen Fan continued to shake his head, "Don't go." ”

But he sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that this Uncle Lin rarely tells lies, this reason is full of loopholes, and it can't withstand scrutiny at all.

What era is it now? 77 years! If you want to go abroad, the wild road is not counted, and if you go out on the right way, which one doesn't want to check the three generations?

If the son of his comrade-in-arms really needs a cook abroad, he can also report to his superiors normally, and after approval by the leadership, a chef will be transferred from the relevant unit, and even the salary and allowance will not exceed 100 yuan a month.

Still borrowing money to open a restaurant? It's a shame that he can figure it out!

However, don't say it, if you are not a person who has seen the world, just with the aura of a veteran on this Uncle Lin, you can fool ordinary people into dizziness and convincing.

But he was unlucky, he ran into himself, and he couldn't cheat himself out of the country with a high-paying job in northern Myanmar back then, let alone now.

Chen Fan was also muttering in his heart, why did this old man deceive himself to go abroad?

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, as long as you respond to all changes with the same, don't be greedy for small gains, and don't want to get rich overnight, you won't be fooled. As for the rest, let him be.

Chen Fan's firm attitude also made Lin Yuanxiang a little surprised, "Don't you believe it?" I can assure Mr. Li that there is not a single lie that he just said! ”

At this time, Chen Fan was also surprised, and actually said this sentence to promise Mr. Li?

For a person like Uncle Lin, a sentence of "assuring Mr. Li" can guarantee almost everything. That's an iron-clad faith, 10,000 times stronger than swearing at anything!

Could it be that what he said was true?

Chen Fan's eyes rolled slightly, and he decided to stick to his heart, and shook his head decisively, "I believe your words, but don't go." ”

It doesn't matter if he's real or not, he just won't go anyway.

Lin Yuanxiang was out of luck now, and looked at him puzzled, "Why?" ”

I believe it, why don't you want to go? Who doesn't want to live a good life?

Chen Fan turned his face to look at him and said with a smile, "No matter how good a foreign country is, it is also a foreign country, and no matter how poor your hometown is, it is also your hometown." Although there is a certain gap between our country and some foreign countries, it is not that we are inferior to foreigners, but because we have suffered too many difficulties and delayed development.

Now that we have good leaders and lead the people of the whole country to seek development together, I believe that one day, we will have what we have abroad, and we can have what we don't have abroad.

Believe it or not, at that time, let alone run out, even if you go out, you have to find a way to run back. ”

When Lin Yuanxiang heard this, he was stunned, and looked at Chen Fan's eyes with uncontrollable appreciation.

But he still didn't give up, and continued, "But I don't know how many years later, before it developed, you were willing to suffer here?" ”

Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders and laughed softly, "I'm going to ask you about this." ”

Lin Yuanxiang was stunned again, and looked at him puzzled, "Ask us?" ”

Chen Fanha let out a long breath, looked at the busy figures on the field in the distance, and said with a smile, "Yes, I ask you." I want to ask you why you crossed the Yalu River to fight when you had a good life. I want to ask those scientists, why they don't enjoy the glory and wealth of foreign countries, and return to China to gnaw on the nest. We want to ask why the 100,000-strong army that built atomic bombs and rockets was willing to go incognito to the Gobi Desert to suffer and suffer. ”

He turned around, looked at Lin Yuanxiang and said with a smile, "I know best whether my hometown is good or not." Although I can't be like you, so selflessly throwing his head and spilling blood, and even daring to want my life, I won't run wherever I see the money. If you can't be a hero, it's okay to be a screw like Comrade Lei Feng. ”

After listening to Chen Fan's words, Lin Yuanxiang slowly exhaled a long breath, his eyes were full of relief, "You have passed." ”

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at him puzzled, "Huh? ”

Lin Yuanxiang put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and said softly, "Actually, I came here for you this time." ”

Chen Fan's eyes widened, "Huh? ”

What the heck?

Lin Yuanxiang said with a smile, "Lao Xiao said that when he met a martial arts wizard, he could practice the basic skills in less than two months, which is equivalent to two or three years of hard work for ordinary people." As the old saying goes, 'famous teachers are hard to find', but in fact, for those of us who practice martial arts, a good apprentice, it is even more difficult to find,......"

After listening to his words, Chen Fan finally understood, during this time, this Uncle Lin was secretly observing himself, and then thinking of what he said just now, he couldn't help asking, "So you were testing me just now, what went abroad to be a chef, it's all fake?" ”

Lin Yuanxiang smiled and shook his head, "No, it's true." I do have an old comrade-in-arms, his son works in an import and export company, stays in the United States all the year round, and is responsible for importing advanced machinery from the United States, and it is true that he wants to find a chef. ”

After a pause, he looked at Chen Fan meaningfully, "If your answer is that you want to go, I will also recommend you to give it a try, but you will definitely not be able to pass the last hurdle." ”

Chen Fan was speechless.

It's all a routine!

Lin Yuanxiang smiled and said softly, "Don't blame me for tempting you, choosing a successor depends not only on talent and qualifications, but also on character." After learning my kung fu, I inherited not only the mantle of my lineage, but also the connections I knew. I don't ask you to be great, but you must not have a bottom line and ignore righteousness. Otherwise, if you do evil, even if I die, I will not have the face to see my ancestors and ancestors. ”

Chen Fan raised his hand and said with a sneer, "This, Uncle Lin, why don't you think about it carefully?" ”

Lin Yuanxiang glanced at him, "What, you're still not happy?" ”

He rolled up his sleeves, "Today I must let you know that your little kung fu is not even a fur, I have to let you see what a stunt is!" ”

Chen Fan took three steps back without hesitation, "Don't look, don't look, I know when your tiger body is shocked, you are definitely a master among the masters, the last time you got out of the car, you didn't pant or tremble, ordinary people can't do it, let alone your age, I guessed it at that time." ”

Lin Yuanxiang glared, "Then why don't you hurry up and apprentice?!" ”

Chen Fan grinned and smiled, "What is the main thing, I don't have any great ambitions, and I don't want to make any great achievements, so I live on two acres of land, so I'm afraid that I will delay your inheritance, and that is a great sin!" ”

If Uncle Lin was just an ordinary martial arts master, Chen Fan would have pounced and shouted at Master at this time. It's a pity he's not.

What he had to say? The son of an old comrade-in-arms is in the United States and is specifically responsible for the import of machinery. When is it a foreign trader decades later? It is not an exaggeration to be able to be responsible for this work now, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "high and powerful".

And this is just a comrade-in-arms.

Among the veterans of that year, there were many like Xiao Liewen, who were disarmed and returned to the field to hide their identities, but there were also many who continued to shine in high positions. God knows how many such comrades-in-arms Uncle Lin has.

I worshipped him as a teacher, and I still want to give my connections to myself?

Is this because he wasn't exposed fast enough, or did he die badly enough?!
