The Pentium Era - South to North

Originally, Zhang Chen and the others were planning to go to Sanya for the Spring Festival with a large group of people. Cao Minfang called Zhang Chen and told him, Mr. Zhang, there are so many people booking hotel rooms now that we don’t have enough rooms. .

Zhang Chen knew what Cao Minfang meant. He asked, "Are there so many people going to Sanya this year?"

"No, there are so many people coming to our hotel."

"Oh, where did these guests come from?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Most of you are from Hangzhou."

Zhang Chen understood that these were their VIP customers, as well as their high-end owners. In addition, Xu Wenhui’s brothers and sisters were not excluded. The wave of media campaigns in Hangzhou was successful. If they go to Sanya this time, When you are in a hotel, you will probably meet a lot of acquaintances.

"Okay, Cao Minfang, cancel all our rooms. We won't go. By the way, Wei Wenfang and Wu Zhaohui have reserved the rooms for them." Zhang Chen said, knowing that it was not easy for Wei Wenfang to make this decision. .

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Zhang." Cao Minfang smiled.

Zhang Chen asked: "Are you really hoping that we don't want to go?"

Cao Minfang laughed and said, "No way, I'm just happy to have a room."

"That doesn't mean the same thing?" Zhang Chen asked.

Cao Minfang smiled and hung up the phone.

After canceling their trip to Sanya, Zhang Chen and the others decided not to go anywhere this year but to celebrate the New Year in Hangzhou. Tan Shuzhen said, okay, I'll take Xiang Nan back to Yongcheng to see Lao Tan.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao returned home and told Zhang Chen's parents about the matter. Unexpectedly, Zhang's father became furious and shouted:

"Things that have already been decided are changed at any time, without consulting us in advance. You are not keeping your word. You are... yes, you are profiteers. You also do this when doing business. ?"

Lao Zhang's reaction was so big that both Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao were confused. Xiao Zhao quickly said, "How about we go to Nanjing to celebrate the Spring Festival?"

"No!" Lao Zhang waved his hand and shouted.

"How about going to Shanghai?" Xiao Zhao asked.

"No!" Lao Zhang shouted, "I'm not going anywhere."

Zhang Chen's mother called them aside and quietly told them that your father had already prepared the island server. He had been talking about going to Sanya all day long. The whole community knew that he was going to Sanya again this year. It’s the Spring Festival.

Only then did Zhang Chen know that Lao Zhang still wanted to go to Sanya.

Zhang Chen and Lao Zhang said, this way, old comrades, during the Spring Festival, there are really no rooms. After the Spring Festival, I will buy air tickets to send you there, and the hotel there will send a car to pick you up at the airport. Where are you in your own hotel? , you can stay as long as you want, a few months or a year.

Lao Zhang glared at him, but before he could speak, Zhang Chen's mother scolded him:

"If you don't go, what are we going to do, other than just following you and having fun together? Who cares about south, south and north for a few months and a half? You take them to school, and you cook for them every day?"

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao understood, and quickly smiled and came to appease Zhang's mother first, leaving Lao Zhang alone.

In the next few days, Lao Zhang looked gloomy when he saw them. Only when Xiao Zhao's parents came, did the situation change. Lao Zhang drove every day and took Xiao Zhao's father to Peach Blossom Spring. Later, the two of them became dissatisfied. It was too troublesome to go back and forth every day, so I simply didn’t come back and stayed in Peach Blossom Spring.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao were surprised and asked their mother, what were these two land reclamation warriors doing? Did they find a new land again?

Zhang Chen's mother said, I don't care about them, they just do whatever they want.

Zhang's mother has Xiao Zhao's mother as her companion. She is also very busy. The schools are close to Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei. In fact, they no longer need to send them to Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei. They make breakfast for Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei every morning and watch them go. After going to school and tidying up the house, the two of them stared at the clock on the wall, looking at the hour and minute hands. When it reached half past eight, they left the house.

It was exactly nine o'clock when we walked from home to the Huanbei Small Commodity Market. The two of us bought a lot of things from the small commodity market every day.

When Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao went home that day, two people pushed them down on the sofa and started to measure their feet, saying that they wanted to take out the soles and make cotton shoes for them. This shocked Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao.

Liu Ligan told them, same thing, in our house, Lao Liu still drinks until he is drunk every day, and my mother is drying all kinds of dried vegetables every day, from dried prunes to dried eggplants, dried pumpkins, and dried cowpeas. , dried lettuce, and dried cucumbers. Anyway, everything that can be dried has been dried, but there are few people who can dry it. Every time I go home, there are several bamboo plaques in front of the door, and there are pots and jars in the house.

If it was a cloudy day, she would be more anxious than anyone else. If it rained for several days in a row, it would kill her.

I asked her, how could she finish eating so much food? She said, what are you afraid of after drying? The purpose of drying is to put it away. By the way, do you want it?

Zhang Chen quickly waved his hand and shouted, "Don't do it. You have to take this back and let my mother see that she has also become a fan of dried vegetables. That's not the end of the world."

The other people laughed and Xiao Zhao said, but it is a pity to waste it. You can bring the pole and give it to the canteen below. These dried vegetables are still delicious when cooked.

"I have a good place to go." Zhang Chen shouted, "Gangzi, take these things to the 'Huijuan Local Food Restaurant'. Huijuan must have a way to make a very good clay pot. In this way, our local food will be better in the future." Once the fragrant garden opens, your mother will be solely responsible for the production."

Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao both agreed.

Tan Shuzhen went to Taohuayuan. When she came back, she looked at Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhaoxiao and told them that it looks like our Taohuayuan hotel will expand its purchases next year.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao looked at her, wondering what she was talking about. Tan Shuzhen couldn't help laughing and told them. Only then did they realize that the two land reclamation warriors were currently working on a big project. The other bay of the stream is enclosed with an earthen dam. They plan to form a small pond, divert the water from the stream in, and raise fish in the pond.

Liu Ligan shouted: "Okay, I've ordered all the truly pollution-free organic fish!"

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lao Zhang's Sanya dream had been completely defeated by his pond dream.

"Let them go," Tan Shuzhen said, "I have already told the village, no one will care about them."

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao quickly said thank you!

Liu Ligan looked at Zhang Chen and said seriously: "Zhang Chen, I think the design of your Sanbao factory is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Think about it, if one-third of the area as big as your roof is used as rice fields, one-third as vegetable fields, and one-third as fish ponds, will your place become a land of fish and rice again? , a land of plenty." Liu Ligan said, "You can also announce that you are starting to march into the agricultural industry."

Tan Shuzhen and Xiao Zhao laughed, Zhang Chen said yes, yes, let two hundred cows and five hundred sheep come to your peach blossom garden, and you can still see the cows and sheep in the wind.

"Go ahead and let it go. If you put it in, I will immediately ask the property owner to notify all the owners. Everyone will catch it. Whoever catches it will get it. They will slaughter the cows and sheep. We can have a good harvest." Liu Ligan said.

…

After Xiaoshu arrived in Hangzhou, Xiaofang gave him a test. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao asked Xiaofang, how was it?

Xiaofang sighed and told them that he was lying. He basically didn't go to high school. At his current level, he would definitely not be able to pass the cultural class.

Xiao Zhao called Xiao Shu over and told him seriously that Xiao Shu didn't care. If he couldn't pass, he couldn't pass. What's the big deal? Xiao Shu said.

Xiao Zhao became anxious and scolded: "If you can't pass, you won't be able to go to GOME! The cultural class is a tough one. If you are a few points short, we can still think of a way. If the gap is too big, no one can do anything. At dinner that day, the director also You told us that your brother-in-law was first in the professional class and was very poor in the cultural class. As a result, the dean tried to recruit him in vain. Are you sure that he will be the first in the professional class? "

"I didn't think about it. Anyway, I knew that if you don't pass the exam, you won't pass. My brother-in-law has never been to the Academy of Fine Arts for a day. Isn't that good?" Xiaoshu said.

Xiao Zhao felt that he had no choice. This brother seemed to be ready to rely on him. Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen said, my dear, he listens to you the most. You should think of a way to persuade him.

Zhang Chen went to Xiaoshu's room, sat down, and asked him: "Xiaoshu, if you fail to pass the GOME exam, what do you want to do? Go to another school, or review for a year and then take the exam again?"

"Then I won't take the exam. The exam is too time-consuming. I want to work at the Lakeside Oil Painting Studio. Brother-in-law, you won't accept me even if I go to work, right?" Xiaoshu asked back.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "No, but when you go to an art museum, what can you do? Be a security guard or a docent?"

"I've already thought about it, brother-in-law, I want to be the resident painter." Xiaoshu said.

"Resident painter? What do you mean?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Just painting in the museum every day is also a performance. Many people want to know how oil paintings are painted, so I can perform for them. If there are people who want to learn to paint, I will teach them in the oil painting museum. Of course, I will charge tuition. Yes, if someone wants me to paint for him, I will paint for him, and of course I will sell it to him. Brother-in-law, don’t worry, I will definitely be able to earn back my salary."

Xiaoshu said and Zhang Chen nodded. He said, "This is a good idea, painter-in-residence. It's really a good idea. I would really suggest Zhao Xin to set up a post of painter-in-residence. However, you If you want to do this, it does not conflict with your entrance into the National Academy of Fine Arts. After completing the National Academy of Fine Arts, you can also become a resident painter. At that time, if you learn from you and buy your paintings, you will only get more.

"Xiaoshu, think about yourself. Did you draw at home by yourself, or did you draw with the teacher introduced to you by Sister Hongmei? Now here you are drawing with Yao Fen. Which one will make greater progress? With the teacher or without the teacher?" ?”

"Of course with the teacher." Xiaoshu said.

"Yes, then when you go to the United States, there are more and better teachers. Not only the colors, but also the sketching and theory are the same. Every course has the best teachers. Follow them and learn, will your progress be better? Big? Also, what is more important than having teachers to teach you in the Academy of Fine Arts, do you know?"

"What is it?" Xiaoshu asked.

"It's a classmate."

Zhang Chen looked at Xiaoshu and said: "The Art Examination is the only way for thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge. The students who can pass the National Academy of Arts are not ordinary people. Everyone is very awesome. A lot of awesome people are together, and they have a lot of respect for people." It's exciting and brainstorming.

"So you see, whether it is the Central Academy of Fine Arts, National Academy of Fine Arts, Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, or Luyi Art Institute, they all have one characteristic, that is, they have a group of awesome people. Several awesome guys are all classmates. This is what motivates each other. Therefore, why does a fast runner, even if he comes in last place, go to the Olympics? It would be an honor to participate.

"You work alone and think about something that you can't figure out for a long time. Just look at what others do and you will know it right away. Just tell me. I'm not bragging. If I had entered Zhejiang University of Science and Technology, I can guarantee that now There will be a place for me in the Chinese oil painting world. If I fail to pass the exam, it means that this road will not work.

"Students at the Academy of Fine Arts have so many opportunities every year to participate in various art exhibitions, including national art exhibitions. They all have direct channels. As long as you draw well, you will have the opportunity. If you are a young person in society, you Basically you can't even touch the door. You just carry the painting and run to the organizing committee, and people ignore you. This difference is huge.

"Like Yao Fen, her level is not bad, but because she was not admitted to school, she never had such an opportunity, and never participated in a decent exhibition, so in the end she did not become a professional painter. "In China, to be a professional painter, there are many prescribed actions that must be completed. Going to the Academy of Fine Arts and participating in exhibitions are among the prescribed actions."

Xiaoshu was persuaded by Zhang Chen, and Xiaofang made a plan for him. Every night, he would help him make up lessons. During the day, Zhang Chen thought of it and asked Xiaoshu to go to Lin Shuwan's place every day. He told Lin Shuwan, you just According to the crash course you took back then, teach him English.

Okay bro. Lin Shuwan said.

Thank you for the reward for ranking third from top to bottom, two fishes one above the bottom, and three o'clock in the middle of the night! Thanks for all the votes and reading! Have a good evening everyone!
