Nowadays, the social status of literate people has been low in the dust. If the news of the selfless award is made public, it will go against the plans of some forces. However, there are many leaders who support the selfless. After all, the residence of the selfless person in the imperial capital was a leader himself. arranged.

Su Weiran poured a glass of water for Zhen Zhen, but there was not much disappointment on his face: "This award is very important to our country in China, I believe that some people can't hide it even if they try their best to cover it up. Everyone knows."

"Teacher is right." Zhen Zhen nodded in agreement, took a sip of water, looked at the scroll in the painting tank next to her with great anticipation: "Teacher, which painting did you give me?"

Su Weiran was amused by her bright eyes: "I have given you paintings for the past two years. Why do I still look like a greedy cat when I see my painting tank."

Zhen Zhen smiled embarrassedly: "The main reason is that the teacher's paintings are so good, I couldn't tell the truth at first, I just think it looks good everywhere, I have learned more from the teacher in the past few years, and then I gradually appreciate the taste. Come."

Su Weiran was amused by her words: "You dare to say appreciation at your half-hearted level, and you are not afraid to blow your shit."

Zhen Zhen looked at him confidently: "Why don't you appreciate it, it's just a low level, but now I can at least say something like using bold colors and majestic momentum, it's much better than the first look, really good-looking, isn't it? ?"

After some words, Su Weiran laughed. He put away the things on the table and put on the drawing paper: "Don't talk about it, you will see the real chapter. You haven't come to learn painting for more than half a month, and you have it at home. No practice? You draw a picture and I'll see."

Zhen Zhen touched her nose with a guilty conscience, and automatically skipped Su Weiran's question and said directly: "My brother is married, there are a few paintings missing on the kangqin, I just want to paint a few for him." Her eyes swept across the wall Su Weiran's flowers and plants hanging on it, added a little unconfidently: "Anyway, the ones that are placed on the kang at home, and those who are ugly and handsome are not disliked."

"If you haven't painted, you will have no confidence." Su Weiran took out the paint and various brushes and placed them on the shore: "You are not like my Su Weiran disciple." Su Weiran looked at Zhen Zhen with a very serious expression: "Although I had a lot of students before, it was to make a living. But you are different. You are the disciple, the only disciple. I believe that under my teaching, your painting level will be better than others in the future."

Zhen Zhen immediately straightened her chest, a strong sense of pride and strong self-confidence emerged spontaneously, she nodded solemnly: "That's necessary!"

Su Weiran smiled and rubbed Zhen Zhen's head, and looked at her helplessly: "It's just that he has a thick skin."

Zhen Zhen smiled and rolled up her sleeves. She chose a few paints and started to adjust the colors. Su Weiran saw that she was using a pink color, so she asked, "Is this about to paint flowers?"

Zhen Zhen nodded: "Marriage is a festive occasion, and the one we live in is also popular." Su Weiran nodded,

He didn't express his opinion, but prepared to see how Zhen Zhen wrote.

After adjusting the colors, Zhen Zhen did not rush to write, but silently closed her eyes and thought about the flowers she was going to draw. Zhen Zhen has been running on the mountains since she was a child, and because her own ability is to control and perceive all things on the earth, so Zhen Zhen knows all the plants she has seen.

She opened her eyes, dipped some color with a paintbrush, and began to draw on the paper. Due to the different orientations of the petals in the sunlight, the colors also changed. Zhen Zhen quickly displayed the thoughts in her mind on the paper while adjusting the colors. .

Su Weiran stood at the right back of Zhen Zhen, quietly watching her draw her thoughts on the paper, only to see three lotus leaves swaying in the wind occupying most of the space of the drawing paper, a white flower with pink The lotus flower stands proudly from it, and there is a pink bud next to it, which means new life and hope.

Zhen Zhen knows every plant like the back of her hand, which is also reflected in her paintings. The transition of colors makes the lotus flower more natural and graceful. posture.

Su Weiran nodded slightly, painting lotus is the basic skill of practicing brush and ink. Although Zhen Zhen is too restrained in using ink and color, and her brushwork is a little immature, her understanding of lotus is better than others, so she also makes up for many deficiencies.

After about an hour of work, Zhen Zhen completed this painting, she put down her brush and took a few steps back to appreciate it, with a complacent look on her face: "No wonder it is said that praise makes people progress, the teacher praises me, I The progress is whizzing, teacher, how can I draw so well?"

Su Weiran burst out laughing again, he looked at Zhen Zhen and immediately praised her or scolded her, Zhen Zhen saw Su Weiran's thoughts and quickly added: "Of course you can't always praise, teacher, or you Tell me about my shortcomings now?"

Su Weiran also put away his joking mentality and pointed to Zhen Zhen's painting and commented, but he didn't say much about the use of brush and ink. For the painting process, it is more about his own perception, understanding, and ideas. If you have to paint according to any requirements, you will lose your spiritual energy, but the gain will outweigh the loss.

The painting needs to be dried before mounting, because it needs to be mounted on the Kangqin, so there is no need to leave an edge. Zhen Zhen decided to wait until tomorrow to paint the second painting before mounting the painting.

While collecting paints in the box, Su Weiran asked Zhen Zhen for a year: "The paper and paint you brought last time are almost the same, is it still convenient to buy now? In fact, there are many high-quality ones in my basement, I wonder if there are any. Is anyone watching?"

Zhen Zhen pondered for a while before saying, "Wait until I talk to my family, go there and have a look."

Hearing this, Su Weiran quickly took a bunch of keys and handed it to Zhen Zhen: "You know my address, you can see the entrance to the basement by removing the wardrobe in the living room. This is the key." He paused and showed a wry smile: "I Before leaving with you, I hid all my important things in the basement, and I don't know if they were found there. If the things are still there, in addition to helping me get more brushes, drawing paper and paint, help me remove the box on the basement table. Take some money from here, and you've filled us a lot in the past few months."

Zhen Zhen took the key: "How much does it cost to buy some food, it is priceless for you to hand over your skills to me, even if I follow the old rules, I should also honor the teacher. ..." Zhen Zhen winked at Su Weiran playfully: "I'm the teacher's closed disciple, and it's all right to give you your retirement in the future."

Su Weiran's heart warmed, looking at Zhen Zhen with loving eyes: "You're right, it's the teacher's photo."

After coming out of the study with Su Weiran, Zhen Zhen discussed a few nourishing prescriptions with the old doctor again, and was going to go home and make up for Mrs. Li during the winter. Although Zhen Zhen couldn't bring Mrs. Li in to diagnose her pulse, and she didn't know how to heal herself, but her own powers could sense all creatures, and she could feel where her body was weak and where she was suffering just by holding Mrs. Li's hand. Han, every time I come back, Zhen Zhen will tell the old doctor about everyone’s physical condition in the family, and ask him to help me find a suitable supplement, and take it home to stew soup while hunting or picking herbs. Also noticed something was wrong.

After drinking the nourishing soup for two years, Mrs. Li's originally half-white hair grew a lot of black stubble, and she slept better than before. few.

****

When she came out of the mountain nest, Zhen Zhen walked into the space in a flash, she wrapped the woolen fabric that she had prepared earlier and the new things she bought today with a furoshiki, swept the outside with her consciousness, and landed in a place near the house where no one was there. The place.

Carrying a huge burden back home, Mrs. Li was taken aback and asked Wang Sufen, "Where are you going? What's in this bag?"

Zhen Zhen picked up the warm water that Mrs. Li had prepared, and drank more than half of it, then wiped her mouth and said, "A few days ago, I was worried about the clothes and bed sheets for my third brother's wedding. When I went to the north of the railway for two days, I heard two people talking privately, one said that he wanted to ask for a good ginseng to save his life. I heard that he had a lot of cloth at home and was willing to exchange it, but this kind of thing I didn't dare to shout in a big way, so I could only ask for help in private, I was small and he didn't see me when I was around the corner."

Zhen Zhen took a peek at Old Lady Li's face, and lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience: "You know what I'm capable of, as long as there is something on this mountain, I can find it, so I'll dig one for 20 years now. Ginseng, go directly to that person's house and change the cloth back." Zhen Zhen paused, and immediately added: "I deliberately covered my face and put on a hat, so I said a word while keeping my throat down, he promises to see you later. I don't even recognize it."

Madam Li didn't look at the burden on the kang, but dragged Zhen Zhen to her side: "If you do this again, I won't tell you anything in the future."

Zhen Zhen let out an "ah" with a dazed look on her face.

Mrs. Li moved in, patted the kang, motioned for Zhen Zhen to sit up, and called Wang Sufen again: "The three of us are at home today, just chatting."

Wang Sufen responded and went out to bring out the washed frozen pears and frozen persimmons on the kang: "Mother, you can talk while you eat."

Mrs. Li handed Zhen Zhen a frozen persimmon, and said with a bit of distress: "Baby, how dangerous are you saying that going out to exchange ginseng for fabric? Why are you so bold?"

Just as Zhen Zhen was about to speak, Mrs. Li slammed her back without waiting for her to speak: "Do you think that you have some skills that make you more capable than others?"

Zhen Zhen nodded seriously: "I'm quite capable." She peeled off the persimmon skin while speaking, took a sip of the cool and sweet persimmon juice, her eyes narrowed with relief.

Mrs. Li nodded Zhen Zhen's head, with a bit of doting and helplessness in her tone: "I know what you are capable of, you can control animals and crops, and you are very strong, and most people can't beat you. But Baoer, this It's not your reason to risk going back and trade things for your family."

Zhen Zhen persimmon stopped halfway through, staring blankly at Mrs. Li, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Madam Li hurriedly hugged her distressedly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the persimmon juice on her chin: "Bao'er, it's not that you're not good, it's that you're in danger. You say your brother It’s not good to wear anything to get married, and what to buy for him at home, you can just wait for the candy and set off firecrackers and be happy, how can you only care about the hearts of adults.”

Zhen Zhen finished eating the persimmon in a few bites, picked up the handkerchief to wipe her mouth and face clean, and put her arms around Mrs. Li's arm: "I feel sorry for you and my mother, I don't want you to be tired all day and work hard for these things. It hurts the gods. I just thought I could do what I could do, you guys should worry less and do less work, and a healthy body is better than anything else." Seeing the moved look on Mrs. Li's face, she continued. : "Damn, you said that this cloth, clothes, etc., can't be bought with money, just the cloth ticket my father issues every month with my salary, saving it for a year is not enough to make new clothes. Yes. Actually, I also know that this is impossible. Now it's not just our family, but other people's families, but I just heard it, so I dared to change it again, but don't worry, his family But there are a lot of things hidden, he dare not do anything."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li raised her face again and patted Zhen Zhen's thigh: "Is this the point?"

Zhen Zhen nodded earnestly and raised her hand to assure: "Next time it won't be like this again. In the future, I will discuss everything with Nii, and Nii agrees to do it again."

Wang Sufen looked at Zhen Zhen not quite clearly, then looked at Mrs. Li, her face was a little uneasy: "Mother, isn't it wrong for Zhen Zhen to do this?"

Li Li Tai sighed: "It's a bit risky, in fact, if you want to change things, you can say it, let Mingnan go alone, it's not enough, there is a risk for Mingnan to take care of himself, after all, he is a big boy, skilled and full of Jin, no one else would dare to treat him like that. But look at how courageous our family Zhen Zhen is, she dares to go alone with her face covered, I just shuddered when I heard her talk about it."

Zhen Zhen smirked and pulled old lady Li a bit: "Honey, to be honest, if you say that you are agile and full of energy, my brother may not be able to compare to me."

"Then you also let them do it, don't take everything on your body, and seeing that your brothers are married, you can't think of being so helpful before, you know." Mrs. Li rubbed Zhen Zhen's head. : "I know that you and your brothers have a good relationship and feel that they are all relatives. I can't bear to be so poor, but they must have their own days to live. They learn to support their families and raise their own children. They are not afraid of suffering and being tired. , as long as the whole family works hard, they can live a good life sooner or later."

"I know Nian." Zhen Zhen put her arms around Mrs. Li's neck and gave her a kiss on her face: "Nursing, you are old, you are the only one in our old Li family."

"It's your sweet mouth." Madam Li also kissed Zhen Zhen's tender face, picked up the bowl with frozen pears and handed it to Wang Sufen: "Take the box up, take a rag to wipe the kang, let's take a look What does this big burden, Zhen Zhen, hold?"

Wang Sufen responded with a sound, and immediately packed it up, took the big bag over, Zhen Zhen knelt on the kang and untied the two crossed knots, and the contents fell out immediately.

Mrs. Li picked up the big red towel on top and shook it away, her face full of joy: "This color is real, and it is soft to the touch. Our supply and marketing agency doesn't have such a good towel."

Wang Sufen also took it and looked at it carefully: "Not bad, I saw it once in the summer, and there were only three strips. It was much thinner than this, and it was harder to touch. At that time, I touched it for a long time. It's too expensive to buy."

Zhen Zhen felt a little annoyed when she heard it, she had to know that it would be better to fix a few more, and give each to grandma and mother, and if you try to get it now, you will definitely be told again. Zhen Zhen looked at the towel and quilt in her hand, and stuffed them into the arms of Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen: "Then don't give this to my brother, one for milk and one for mother."

Wang Sufen's eyes narrowed when she heard the words and smiles: "My baby always thinks about milk and mother, I didn't hurt you in vain."

Mrs. Li nodded in agreement: "It's not that bad, my family treasure is very useful, but the milk can't cover this big red one, so I'll keep it for you, and use it when you get married in the future."

Zhen Zhen had a black line on her face, she opened her mouth to show her small teeth to Mrs. Li: "Nanny, it's too early for you to think about it."

Old lady Li reached out and closed Zhen Zhen's chin: "It's not too early, I've been thinking about your marriage since you were born."

Zhen Zhen looked at Mrs. Li helplessly, and said with tears in her eyes, "If it weren't for the fact that Nanny was always the best with me, I would have thought that you would dislike me."

Wang Sufen also smiled and put the towel back: "I don't want this either, I'm already a daughter-in-law, and I'm so popular, it makes people know what a joke." She saw that Zhen Zhen was a little unhappy Xian Xian quickly added: "I like pink, and I will buy a pink one for my mother when Zhen Zhen goes to work."

Zhen Zhen laughed immediately and nodded repeatedly: "That's fine, I'll buy it for our whole family, and also buy big leather shoes, beautiful dresses, and lipstick for my mother."

Wang Sufen was taken aback: "It's not good, it's amazing for people to catch it, this is the decadent way of life of the capitalist class, and it will be roamed/street."

Zhen Zhen blinked her eyes with a bit of a mischievous smile on her face: "At that time it will definitely not be like this, I thought that at that time I would definitely be able to buy whatever I want, and buy two biscuits. Eat one and throw the other, I want to eat fresh wild vegetables every day to relieve my tiredness of eating meat, and I don’t like to eat steamed buns and buns, so I want to eat a big pancake, something more chewy.”

Wang Sufen leaned forward and closed after listening to the music: "Why do I sound like a fairy in the day you said?"

Mrs. Li also kept laughing: "How can there be such a foolish immortal, who don't eat these coarse grains that sting the throat when good things are eaten."

Zhen Zhen smiled and didn't explain too much, she took out the piece of red dark flower material and showed it to Mrs. Li: "It's popular to wear green military uniforms when getting married now, it is said to be fashionable, but I think marriage should be more festive and good-looking. Then the time comes. I asked my brother and my sister Xiaoxi for their opinion. If they want to wear red clothes, they can directly use this material; if they want to wear green military uniforms, they can give this cloth to them in private. We have what we want."

Wang Sufen pinched Zhen Zhen's little face, tsk tsk: "I don't know how long this little girl's head is, how thoughtful she is, she is much better than your mother."

Zhen Zhen immediately flattered and said, "It's all taught by my grandma." She smiled and pulled out the few pieces of woolen fabric from the bottom to show Mrs. Li: "Grandma, look at how good the fabric is, you and I Mom and Dad make a coat alone, and I will wear it more pompously in the spring."

Mrs. Li touched the fabric and measured it against Zhen Zhen: "How old am I, it would be useless to make a coat with such a good material. When the time comes, the milk will make it for you, and you can wear it to school."

"I don't want it." Zhen Zhen wrinkled her little nose: "I think this color is old-fashioned, and besides, I haven't worn the light blue coat that my uncle sent me in the fall."

Speaking of Li Muwen, Zhen Zhen couldn't help but ask Mrs. Li: "Honey, where did my uncle send me the clothes, that kind of woolen clothes are not available in Fusheng, it's been hot all year round and I can't wear them like this. clothes."

Mrs. Li shook her head: "I don't know either, there is no address on it, and the postmark was only built after entering the ice city. We can't ask more about their military service, there are regulations, and we shouldn't know. Don't ask."

Zhen Zhen's face was a little disappointed: "Hey, I don't know what they are busy with, the uncle hasn't come back for several years, and my second brother, I don't know if I can go home for the New Year this year."

Mrs. Li touched the cigarette pouch silently, and couldn't help sighing: "This is something that can't be done. The country needs them. We can't help anything else. Just don't hold them back."

Wang Sufen looked at Mrs. Li and looked at Zhen Zhen again, and said in a low voice, "Did the two PLA soldiers leave a letter address when they took Mingxi out last time, why don't we try to write a letter and send it there. , Tell me about Ming Nan's marriage next year, and see if the army can give Ming Xi a few days off."

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment before she nodded: "Write a letter, I'll write it later, and I don't need to talk about taking a leave, just talk about Mingnan's marriage and Mingbei's jumping in the queue. There can be leave over there, and we can let him come back without us saying that, if we really can’t get away, we will ask the child for leave and embarrass the child.”

Zhen Zhen extended her thumb towards Mrs. Li: "I'm right." She immediately put on her shoes and sat at the table, taking advantage of the good light during the day, she hurriedly finished writing the letter and read it to Mrs. Li again: "While it's still light, I'll rush to send the letter."

Mrs. Li nodded and gave Zhen Zhen a dime from her pocket: "Buy stamps and envelopes, and you can buy candy for the rest."

Zhen Zhen immediately covered her mouth and said with a horrified expression, "I still want to keep a few more teeth."
