Chapter 399: The East Window Incident
Chen Fan took Jiang Lili upstairs, took out his drawing board from the bookcase, turned around and handed it to her, and said with a smile, "This drawing board is for you." β
Jiang Lili's eyes lit up, and she took it with joy, her fingers rubbing lightly on the drawing board.
After two seconds, she looked up at Chen Fan, her face was a little hesitant, "Then, what about you?" β
Chen Fan smiled, "You forgot that I made this canvas myself?" I'll just make another one in a few days. β
Jiang Lili smiled sweetly, "Thank you." β
"Needless to say, you copied hundreds of thousands of words of manuscript for me, and I didn't say thank you?"
Chen Fan rolled up his sleeves and took out a canvas belt from the cabinet under the desk, "The bag was a little broken before, this was remade by myself a few days ago, you can replace the bag." β
The original bag is made of homespun cloth, used less than half a year, has been loose, a few days ago to buy agricultural machinery parts, by the way to buy a piece of canvas, made a new bag for her, the key parts are also wrapped with leather, absolutely durable.
Jiang Lili put down the drawing board, took it with both hands, looked at the hand-sewn canvas belt, her eyes were full of surprise, this handmade? It's already much better than yourself, huh?
She looked up at Chen Fan, pursed her lips, and said softly, "No matter whether I have the opportunity to design clothes in the future, I will keep this drawing board well." This is my favorite gift I have ever received. β
Chen Fan pretended to look at her in surprise, "Hey, isn't your favorite gift a cake?" β
Jiang Lili suddenly blushed, puffed out her cheeks angrily, and glared at him hard.
Puzzled guys!
It's a pity that this stare is not lethal at all, Chen Fan grinned without pain or itching, "Replace the new bag, it turns out that there are still a few tools in the bag, and we will also move them together." β
Jiang Lili pouted, and then got busy happily.
First dismantle the old homespun bag, put the sketchpad and easel into the lattice of the new bag, and then take out all the tools in the old bag, including paintbrushes, drawing paper, erasers, clips, pencil sharpeners, ......, these things are new and old, and the new ones are obviously just bought.
Put everything in a small plaid bag on the outside of your new bag and keep it all neatly organized.
Then she found a stack of sketch paper about the size of a textbook in the inner bag.
Sneaking a glance at Chen Fan, I saw that he was taking out stacks of manuscripts from the drawer, all of which he had copied for him, and he could send them away at any time.
Jiang Lili retracted her gaze, her eyes rolled slightly, and she quietly looked at the sketch he had drawn.
Most of these sketches are very simple and depict scenes that are common in the village.
There are flowers and trees, crops in the field, melons and fruits in the vegetable garden, the kitchen stove, the corner water tank and the terracotta stand, as well as Duoduo, Qiuqiu, the little mare, the foal and the two lambs, among which Rolling and its two treasures are naturally indispensable, as well as Chen Fan's new house, the woods in the distance, and the river embankmentγ......
When it came to the end, Jiang Lili's gaze suddenly stopped.
The last one, it turned out to be yourself?
On the 16-page paper is a bust portrait of Jiang Lili, which is obviously much more complicated than the simple strokes of other sketches that outline the charm of the scene.
From the hair to the eyelashes, from the facial features to the eyes, every part has been carefully described, even every hair strand and every eyelash is lifelike, and there seems to be light blooming in the eyes.
Such painting skills, even with meticulous carving, can no longer describe its fineness.
Holding the painting in her hand, Jiang Lili felt her heart beating fast, and her face was hot, as if it could burn at any time, so that she was a little dizzy.
After a long while, she suddenly came to her senses, couldn't help but gasp, glanced at Chen Fan in a panic, and at the same time hurriedly stuffed her portrait to the bottom.
Hearing the movement, Chen Fan turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of strangeness, "What's wrong with you?" β
Wasn't it all fine just now, why did your face suddenly turn red like a boiled crab?
Jiang Lili's eyes fluttered in a panic, and she didn't dare to look at him at all, "No, nothing." β
Chen Fan's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes were full of suspicion, his eyes looked back and forth on her, and finally landed on the sketch in her hand.
Now he finally understood.
Yes, the East Window incident happened, and he was still caught by the "owner"!
However, Chen Fan's cheeks had already been exercised thicker than the city wall, so he immediately coughed dryly and spread his palms at her, "This is my usual practice, and I forgot to put it away." It doesn't matter if you have any other sketches, but you have to give me back the last one. β
The flush on Jiang Lili's face became three points thicker, and she unconsciously hugged the sketch in her arms, pouted and said, "Don't give it." β
This guy, even if he secretly paints himself, is found out and wants to go back, how can there be such a thing?
Chen Fan laughed twice, and said casually, "Listen to my explanation, that painting was actually painted when I first learned to sketch before, wasn't it not technical at that time, so I kept it and painted it slowly." When I finish painting one day, I'll give this painting to you, okay? β
He really didn't lie to anyone, on the day he learned to sketch for the first time, he returned to the yard and happened to see Jiang Lili working in the yard, so he couldn't help but draw a stick figure with a pen.
However, after finishing the painting, I felt that the drawing was not good, so I found a new piece of paper, first drew an outline, and then sketched it little by little, and finally painted it into what it is today.
I wanted to finish the painting before she left, but I didn't expect her to turn it out in advance.
Jiang Lili looked at him suspiciously, "Really? β
After a pause, he felt something was wrong, and quickly shook his head and said, "I mean, you can draw something else, why ......?"
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but lower my voice, "Do you want to draw me?" β
Chen Fan said matter-of-factly, "Because there were only two of us in the courtyard at that time, if you want to practice figure painting, of course you have to draw you, do you want to draw myself?" β
Jiang Lili felt a little dizzy, secretly painting other people's portraits, is she still so arrogant?
She puffed out her cheeks and muttered, "Then you have to tell me too." β
Chen Fan said with a smile, "I can't say this at that time, what I want is that kind of natural state, if I told you in advance, even if you are willing to agree, the action and expression will not be so natural, you must know that learning to paint must not only be able to draw shapes, but also to be able to draw charm, I am also to draw better." β
After a pause, he said, "Look, aren't we friends, besides you, I'm embarrassed to draw others, right, of course I can only draw you." β
Jiang Lili tilted her head, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.
Chen Fan stood up as he spoke, and said with a smile, "In this way, I will teach you to draw now, and when you learn to draw, you will know the doorway here." β
Jiang Lili blinked and hesitated, "Okay." β
Chen Fan coughed dryly, put his hands behind his back and said, "You first put up the shelf and put the drawing board on it." β
Jiang Lili put down the sketch without thinking and went to get the shelf.
Chen Fan immediately pulled out the bottom painting with lightning speed.
When Jiang Lili saw it, she immediately looked at him with tears and laughter, "What are you doing?" β
When the sketch arrived, Chen Fan checked it first and found that he had made a mistake, so he indifferently took out a picture album, sandwiched the sketch into it, and said with a smile, "I haven't finished painting yet, I'll give it to you when I'm done." β
Jiang Lili blushed, she was angry and funny, just for a sketch, she even used it to attack the west, as for it?
Thinking of the birth of his portrait in his hands little by little, a shyness came to his heart again, and he was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
Chen Fan stuffed the album into the drawer, locked it, pulled out the key and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and then walked out with his hands behind his back, smirking proudly, "Come on, Teacher Chen's teaching time has officially begun!" β
Jiang Lili glared at him helplessly, but unfortunately someone was too thick-skinned and still unmoved, so she could only give up and fiddle with the easel according to Chen Fan's instructions.
Adjust the easel, fix the artboardγ......
Chen Fan's teaching halo is fully open, only for her alone, and the things inside and outside the art door are brought together from shallow to deep.
Listening to Chen Fan's voice in her ears, Jiang Lili unconsciously forgot the shyness just now, and concentrated on learning painting knowledge from scratch, from ignorance to gradually getting started.
Unconsciously, half a day passed, and it wasn't until Huang Ying came up to call them to eat that Jiang Lili woke up from her studies.
There are outsiders, Jiang Lili habitually puts on a layer of camouflage on herself, and silently packs up her things with her head down as usual.
It's just that when I was cleaning up the sketches, my heart couldn't help but tremble, first glanced at Huang Ying who was waiting at the door, found that she didn't pay attention to this side, and then glared at Chen Fan viciously in protest.
It's a pity that someone is too thick-skinned and the protest is ineffective.
Chen Fanzheng smiled proudly, and when he saw Jiang Lili about to carry the drawing board on his shoulder, he immediately said, "You don't need to bring it down, you have the best view here, and you can come here to practice painting in the future." β
Huang Ying also said at the door, "Yes, yes, don't take it out, otherwise I will be seen by the team, and my parents should ask me if I have learned to paint." β
She said with a face that fell, "We studied together, we were all good, they had to compare everything, we chose different directions, and when the brigade department organized the selection examination in the future, the questions of the exam would definitely be different, what was the point of comparing and comparing." β
Chen Fan nodded in agreement, "Well, it really doesn't make sense." β
The key is that the college entrance examination does not take the painting test.
Huang Ying turned her head to look at him, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile, "Teacher Chen, why don't you help me go and talk to my parents?" β
Chen Fan spread his hands, "It's nothing for me to say, the key is, do you think it's useful?" β
Huang Ying's face immediately fell, and she shook her head irritably, "Oh, I don't want to." β
After speaking, he ran down, "Come down and eat, the food will be cold later." β
Chen Fan looked back at Jiang Lili, she had already put away the drawing board bag, walked out quickly, and then turned around and went downstairs.
Since a few days ago, Huang Ying and the others have not been cooking in the educated youth spot below, but have used the kitchen here.
After all, I study here all day long, and it's a waste of time to always run down.
A row of three rooms, next to the main building is the dining room, connected by a wind and rain corridor, the middle is the kitchen, not only the area is larger, the functional area is also more, not only there is a water storage tank, there is even a relatively large fish pond, other cupboards, shelves, dishwashers, etc. are all available, cooking is much more convenient than the kitchen in the Zhiqing Point.
Further in, next to the panda park, is the bathroom.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, it is estimated that the time for opening will not be too far away.
The dining room was a bit big, and the few of them didn't need a big round table to eat, so they didn't move the table out, and only sat on the table of eight immortals by the window.
The four girls sat on both sides, and Chen Fan naturally sat on one side.
In his place, the bowls and chopsticks have been arranged, and there is also a pot of rice wine that is being heated.
The ancient method of warm sake is to set up a basin of hot water, and there is a charcoal fire below to warm the hot water, and the wine pot is placed in the hot water.
However, this method is more cumbersome, and every time you pour wine, you have to wipe the bottle, Chen Fan learned the practice of Zhejiang restaurants in later generations, the difference is that people use small candles to heat the wine jug, and he uses burning charcoal.
The effect is also okay.
Chen Fan took a sip of wine and moistened his throat, and as soon as he sandwiched a piece of meat, he heard Huang Ying ask, "Teacher Chen, you said that you will often submit articles in the future, do you want to submit to other magazines?" β
Chen Fan nodded, waited for the contents of his mouth to be swallowed, and then said with a smile, "There are many literary magazines in the country, not only the "Jiangnan Literature and Art" in this province. β
Yang Ju immediately said, "I know that there are "People's Literature" and "BJ Literature and Art", and these magazines are sold in Xinhua Bookstore. β
Then he smiled embarrassedly, "I don't know about the rest." β
He asked curiously, "What other magazines are there?" β
Chen Fan stretched out his left hand and snapped his fingers, "That's a lot, for example, "Chinese Youth", "Harvest", "Sprout", these are all very good magazines, such as "Harvest" is a serious literary magazine founded by Mr. Ba Jin, which has a very high influence in the country. β
Yang Ju's eyes widened in surprise as if she had come into contact with Xintiandi, "It turns out that there are so many magazines." β
After a pause, she asked puzzledly, "Then why isn't there anything in Xinhua Bookstore?" β
Jiang Lili, Huang Ying, and Liu Dan also looked at Chen Fan with blank eyes, and even forgot to eat.
Here's a trivia here, before 1950, all newspapers and periodicals in the country were distributed by themselves, until that year, when second-rate newspapers and the General Post Office of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications signed an important document, "Agreement on the Distribution of Newspapers".
From then on, the distribution of second-rate newspapers was entrusted to the post office.
With this example, newspapers and periodicals across the country began to follow suit, and the post office signed agreements with more than 30 periodicals to take charge of the distribution of their newspapers.
At the end of '52, to be precise, on December 28, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the General Administration of Publication issued the "Joint Decision on Improving the Distribution of Publications", deciding to transfer all the magazines originally distributed by various bookstores to the post office for handling, and the periodical distribution department of Xinhua Bookstore was also merged with the post office.
So far, the "postal and distribution integration" system has been officially implemented nationwide.
Since then, newspapers and magazines can be purchased at both the post office and the Xinhua bookstore.
As for other bookstores, most of them are no longer in the business of selling newspapers and magazines.
Unless it is a special journal related to a special bookstore, that is, a professional academic journal.
Under normal circumstances, Xinhua Bookstore will not enter this kind of periodical, and if you want to buy it, you can only buy it at a professional bookstore, or make a reservation through the post office.
Therefore, regular magazines are generally sold in Xinhua Bookstore.
Chen Fan often goes to Xinhua Bookstore, so he naturally knows what books are in it.
Hearing Yang Ju's words, he smiled slightly and said, "That's because these magazines haven't resumed yet!" β
"BJ Literature and Art" (changed to BJ Literature in 80) was republished in 1973, almost the earliest in the country, and "People's Literature" was also republished in January 1976, and there are two kinds of them in Xinhua Bookstore.
As for other literary magazines, only publications founded by the provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, such as Jiangnan Literature and Art, have been partially republished.
Therefore, the republication of "Jiangnan Literature and Art" this year belongs to the kind that is not too early or late, and it is just right to be stuck in the middle.
For example, "Zhejiang Literature and Art" was republished in May 75, and it will be changed back to its previous name "Donghai" in 78, and then "Taste".
A little later, such as "Shanghai Literature", which was just republished a few days ago, was renamed "Shanghai Literature and Art".
As for the other two, "Flower City" and "Dianchi", which were famous in later generations.
Sorry, it hasn't been published yet.
Including "Chinese Youth", "Harvest" and "Sprout", which have not yet been republished, as well as "October", "Contemporary" and "Jie", which have not yet been launched......
Chen Fan said that he didn't know when it would appear.
He has only improved his mental power, and he can recall many things, but it is useless to recall the things he doesn't know.
Not knowing is not knowing!
Anyway, the current literary journals are enough for him to gather wool.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Ying couldn't wait to ask, "So are you going to contribute to "People's Literature" and "BJ Literature and Art"?" β
Chen Fan took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "More than that." β
He stretched out his finger as he spoke, "What "Zhejiang Literature and Art", "Shanghai Literature and Art", "Yangtze River Literature and Art", "Heilongjiang Literature and Art", "Songjiang Literature and Art", "Xiangjiang Literature and Art" ......"
counted more than a dozen in a row, and then said with a smile, "All of these are the best provincial literary journals in a province like "Jiangnan Literature and Art", and they are solicited and distributed nationwide. Since they're soliciting papers, I can submit them as well. β
When he finished speaking, the four girls all stared at him blankly.
Contributing to more than a dozen magazines across the country, is this something that people can do?
After a pause for two seconds, Huang Ying suddenly burst out laughing, "Hehehehe......"
Jiang Lili looked at her in surprise, as if asking, what are you laughing at?
After laughing twice, Huang Ying reluctantly stopped, grinned and said, "I was thinking, if all of Mr. Chen's submissions were adopted, and then, readers across the country would be shocked when they saw that no matter which magazine they bought, there were Mr. Chen's articles on it?" β
Hearing this, Jiang Lili, Yang Ju and Liu Dan couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Fan frowned, "This is a troublesome matter." β
It's really not a boast, with the current writing level of "literary youth", he can completely crush in all directions.
For example, Lu Yao founded a grassroots literary tabloid "Shanhua" in the place where he cut the queue, and later created a "Shanhua Writers Group", from Cao Guxi to Lu Yao, to Shi Tiesheng, Tao Zheng, as well as Wenpin, Haibo, Yuancun, etc., all of whom are members of this group.
But at that time,...... In fact, just a few years ago, what can you say about their creative level?
Cao Guxi, who was the head of the county communications group at the time, commented on Hai Bo, and the original words were that "the level was pitifully poor at that time, and the first poem published in "Mountain Flower" was almost 'made' by a few editors."
It's that down-to-earth!
Even so, the young writers who came out of "Mountain Flowers" are still the extravagant contributors of major newspapers and periodicals. There were even many literary youths from other places who went there to learn writing from them.
However, Chen Fan used the writing style of later generations, and he got rid of them a lot in terms of skills, coupled with the experienced writing and rich literary heritage, there is almost no possibility of being rejected!
At that time, as Huang Ying said, more than a dozen of the best literary journals in the country and local will all have his articles and his name written on them, I am afraid that something big will happen.
The four girls smiled and laughed, and when they saw Chen Fan's brows furrowed, they unconsciously suppressed their laughter.
Jiang Lili thought silently and whispered, "Why don't you vote less?" β
Chen Fan looked at her, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said with a smile, "No." β
He picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and laughed, "It's too high-profile to use my real name, which is not in line with my low-key character, from today on, except for the article "On the Field of Hope", I will use a pen name for all other articles! β
One magazine uses one pen name, ten magazines use ten, as long as the author information is not published, no one except the editor knows who I am!
The manuscript is still invested, the money is earned, and there is no impact yet.
I'm such a low-key person, perfect!
