Zhang Yezhong is famous for his hobby of tinkering with calligraphy and painting in his spare time. He also writes and paints. Even during the movement, when many people were implicated because of calligraphy and painting, he did not give up these calligraphy and paintings. It’s just that old man Zhang is not very famous, most of his calligraphy and paintings are kept at home, and others have no chance to see them.
Grandma Zhang often said that it was fortunate that he was not famous, otherwise it would have been terrible if he had become famous during the sports period.
While looking at the calligraphy and painting, Yu Tong greeted Zhang Yezhong, “Grandpa, did you draw these? They are so beautiful.”
Grandma Zhang helped Zhang Yezhong up who was lying in bed. Seeing Yu Tong, Grandpa Zhang was very happy, He has been thinking about Liu Min and Yu Tong who saved his life. The little girl can make decisive decisions when encountering things, and does not procrastinate, so she will be promising in the future.
He smiled and said: “I’m old, I can’t even hold a brush, and now I look happy. I don’t draw well. Look at the painting on your left, it’s all drawn by famous artists! ”
She like painting very much, so Yu Tong knows more or less about famous painters in history. She only glanced at what Zhang Yezhong said, and she knew it was worth a lot when she saw the signature, but her main attention was still on Zhang Yezhong’s paintings. She didn’t know Zhang Yezhong’s name before, but now that she saw the signature of the painting, she realized something was wrong.
This Zhang Yezhong…why is his name so familiar? It seems that there is indeed a painter named Zhang Yezhong, who was born at the end of the 20th century, and his age is also right with Grandpa Zhang… My God, could these two be the same person? !
Yu Tong was shocked by her own thoughts. I really didn’t expect that by chance, she would know a real great painter. Yu Tong was a little excited, “Grandpa, you must keep these paintings and pass them on to future generations. They can be family heirlooms.”
In the 21st century, although Zhang Yezhong became famous, he became famous after his death, and he died many years later. Because he became famous only after his death, his paintings during his lifetime were scattered, and the original works were once sold for 10 million at the auction house.
It is incomparable with paintings that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but for ordinary people, it is already a sky-high price. It is a pity that his descendants have not been able to live a better life because of the paintings. Both Zhang Yezhong and Zhang Jianjun are good people, Yu Tong needs to remind them, even if they keep a painting.
Zhang Yezhong said with a smile: “I drew all the heirlooms at random. If you like them, grandpa will give you two.”
Yu Tong was almost dumbfounded when he heard this. two pictures? That’s 20 million. You can buy several small-sized houses, and you can almost buy villas in not-so-good locations. No wonder Zhang Yezhong didn’t leave any paintings for his descendants after his death.
Although Yu Tong was a little excited when she heard the 20 million, she knew in advance that the painting would be popular, so it would be unreasonable to accept the painting.
Yu Tong said seriously: “Grandpa, I don’t want it. You must keep these paintings. Your paintings are so good, you will definitely be popular in the future! Then you can make a lot of money. Someday I will give you a brochure. Put all the paintings in there, so they won’t be lost in the future.”
Zhang Yezhong thought that Yu Tong was sweet-mouthed, and the more he listened, the happier he became, “I love to listen to you, the little girl is so sweet-mouthed, you made me so happy today, you must I have to give you two. You can choose whatever you like, and if you take it away, I will draw again, it’s okay!”
Yu Tong didn’t expect that her own words would have the opposite effect. That’s right, who doesn’t like to hear others praise the quality of their paintings, Zhang Yezhong must think she is flattering him.
Yu Tong was thinking about what to do, Xie Wencheng, who had been standing with his arms folded, suddenly smiled and said, “Grandpa’s paintings are really good, and it’s also a souvenir to keep, Yu Tong, it’s okay for you to accept one, keep it for a while. It’s just a commemoration.” Xie Wencheng didn’t know how much this painting would sell for in the future, so he didn’t have any psychological pressure, he just thought it was a way to enhance friendship, and Yu Tong really liked painting, so he persuaded her to accept one . “That’s right, I heard it just now, you sent milk powder again? I have already accepted your milk powder, how can you not return the gift? Besides, this broken painting is worthless, and your milk powder can be sold for several dollars ”
Zhang Yezhong deliberately put on a straight face, “Are you looking down on my old bones?”
After saying this, it seemed hypocritical for Yu Tong to refuse again. She had no choice but to choose a feng shui painting she liked, and when she held the painting in her hand, she suddenly had the illusion that she had transformed into a multi-millionaire woman. How did you get rich by accident?
After visiting Zhang Yezhong, Yu Tong and Xie Wencheng went home together, by this time Lin Feng had already arrived home. Seeing that Xie Wencheng and Yu Tong came together, he immediately understood, but he didn’t say much, he is a young man with an open mind, he pays attention to letting nature take its course and falling in love freely, it’s better for others not to worry too much.
Through Su Xiaoya, Lin Feng has already seen that Xie Wencheng is not a person who pays attention to family background, and so are his grandparents, so Lin Feng has nothing to worry about.
At that time, the sky was already dark, the indoor lighting was insufficient, and it was dim and dim, but it seemed warm because of this.
Yu Tong looked at Lin Xianglian and Lin Feng who were both at home, and suddenly had the illusion of going home for a reunion. She had an idea that even if she couldn’t get into college, it seemed good to stay in the county town and live a peaceful life. Sometimes life is fine too.
After entering the house, Yu Tong put down the vegetables she had just bought and immediately walked to her room. She locked the door and said she wanted to change clothes. Of course, her purpose is not to change clothes and go to the supermarket to put away the paintings. This is 10 million, it cannot be damp, it has to be well protected, it is more expensive than her. However, as soon as she entered the supermarket, the phone rang. It seemed that the man took the time to call her. There should be something urgent, otherwise the man would not take the initiative to contact her.
Yu Tong picked up the phone and asked curiously, “What’s the matter ?” I have to listen to what the boss says, try to save as much money as possible.”
Before Yu Tong could say anything, the man hung up the phone, probably because he was afraid that Yu Tong would beg him.
Yu Tong was a little confused. Because of various promotional activities before, the supermarket was somewhat well-known, and the turnover has been steadily increasing. But no matter how fast you get promoted, it’s impossible to earn 200,000 a month, right? ! If she couldn’t buy the store next door, she wouldn’t be able to buy new products, and her dream of a department store would be shattered. Although she won’t starve to death by guarding a supermarket and can live a good life, Yu Tong still has ambitions in her heart.
After finally returning to the 1970s, she happened to have a golden finger. wouldn’t it be a pity if she didn’t make good use of it?
While Yu Tong was worrying, her peripheral vision suddenly fell on Zhang Yezhong’s painting. This painting is already very valuable in 2018. If she entrusts a man to sell it, she will definitely be able to sell it for a good price. By then, let alone a store, her supermarket will be at least ten times larger. But… it was given to her by Grandpa Zhang.
Yu Tong fell into torment. Xie Wencheng and Lin Feng were waiting for her to cook outside, Yu Tong couldn’t wait any longer, she took some seasonings for cooking from the supermarket and a pack of spicy pot ingredients and left. She plans to make spicy pot tonight.
After leaving the supermarket, Yu Tong changed her clothes and wanted to wash the vegetables. However, as soon as he went out, Lin Feng came back with a bowl of washed vegetables.
When he saw Yu Tong coming out, he couldn’t help joking, “You are really a big girl. It takes so long to change clothes. Didn’t you dress up properly? ”
Yu Tong was a little embarrassed, “What are you talking about, have you washed all the dishes?”
“Well,” Lin Feng turned sideways to let Yu Tong look away.
In the yard, Xie Wencheng was standing in a basin washing vegetables, ” There is still a little more, Wencheng is washing it, you can go and get it later.”
There is no light in the yard, only sporadic moonlight to support it, one can imagine how hard Xie Wencheng was washing this dish. However, he was not impatient at all, standing in front of the basin with his thin body, washing them carefully one by one.
Strange to say, even when Xie Wencheng washes vegetables, he has a detached temperament, obviously washing vegetables is already a very down-to-earth job.
Lin Feng smiled and nodded Yu Tong’s head, “Okay, don’t look, hurry over.” Yu Tong blushed inexplicably….is it so obvious? No! Yu Tong took a deep breath and walked over.
Xie Wencheng didn’t raise his head, and said directly: “The cabbage, potatoes, spinach, and lettuce have been washed. Do you need to peel the potatoes? Just leave it alone, and I will get it later.”
Yu Tong was surprised: “What are you doing? ” How do you know it’s me?”
“I know it even if I close my eyes,” Xie Wencheng replied while standing up and walking back with the washed dishes, “Let’s go, you can be the chef today, and I will take care of the other things.” Yu Tong looked at it, the indifferent Xie Wencheng couldn’t help but smiled, and then nodded her head heavily: “Don’t worry, you will definitely think it’s worth it when you get the food.”
Yu Tong doesn’t think about how much oil to put in when cooking. If you put less oil, the taste will not be so delicious. In addition, Yu Tong has all kinds of seasonings, so even if her cooking skills are not top-notch, in this day and age, one is better than the other. She cut up a few pieces of pork, fearing that Wang Linlin next door would make trouble, so she didn’t dare to cut more, as long as it was appropriate.
Once the vegetables are cut, the prep work is complete. This dish is a little more troublesome when preparing vegetables, and the next steps are much simpler, especially when Yu Tong brought the spicy hot pot seasoning. She had put the seasoning in an ordinary jar in advance, and said to the public that it was made by herself secretly, and she was not afraid of someone looking for it. Soon, a numb and fragrant smell wafted from the kitchen, and Xie Wencheng and Lin Feng crowded at the door to watch. Although they are eating at home, the aroma will not be isolated, and the smell of spicy hot pot soon filled the whole street.
Most people have heard it, and Aunt Ma looked in the direction of Yu Tong’s house, envious: “Xianglian and Tongtong are really happy, although they have no father since they were young, they have a good family, and Xianglian’s craftsmanship is still so good. Well… tsk, what is this made of, it smells so good.” There were even those whose families were not in good condition and couldn’t eat meat a few times a year, so they just lay on the fence and looked towards Yu Tong’s house.
When can they eat meat again? Others could smell it, so naturally Wang Linlin could smell it too. She and Yang Yu were having dinner, and the dinner was still the same. For the first time, she fried shredded pepper and potatoes, but only put a small amount of oil, which was not delicious at all.
As soon as Yang Yu smelled the fragrance, she put down her chopsticks and looked at the neighbor enviously. This made Wang Linlin, who was already uncomfortable, even more annoyed. They are all single mothers who bring up their children alone, how can Lin Xianglian eat delicious and spicy food every day, while she and Yang Yu have to eat bran and swallow vegetables here? !
Wang Linlin looked at Yang Yu angrily, “Eat quickly, I’ll pick up the bowl if you don’t!”
Yang Yu was startled, and quickly sat back obediently and ate quietly. But her heart is still at Yu Tong’s house. She didn’t know what her family made, but it smells so good that she can smell it while sitting at home. Wang Linlin looked at Yang Yu who looked envious, and her mood became worse and worse.
Recently, a certain gang fell from power, and she had a very bad life because she exposed various whistleblowers during the movement. The two dollars she usually earns are not enough for her and Yang Yuhua. The neighbors don’t like her, and her colleagues are always wary of her. She is the only daughter left by her side, she is still a fool, can she not worry about it? Especially when there is a comparison between the mother and daughter next door…
The more Wang Linlin thinks about it, the more aggrieved she becomes. Thinking about how much merit she had achieved during a certain movement, it is too unreasonable to be mixed up like this now! Annoyed, Wang Linlin finally couldn’t help but put down her chopsticks, got up and walked out. She went out, went straight to Yu Tong’s house, and knocked on the door.
When Wang Linlin knocked on the door, Yu Tong and the others had already gathered around the table to eat. Her home is still an old big round table, the kind that can remove the stool legs. It usually does not take up space, and it is only taken out when eating. It is much more convenient than the modern table. However, it also has a disadvantage, that is, it is not very stable.
When Wang Linlin knocked on the door with all her strength, Yu Tong almost knocked over the table.
“Who knocked so hard?” Xie Wencheng frowned, got up and opened the door. Hearing this familiar voice, Yu Tong’s heart sank.
It should be that Wang Linlin is here. It’s not a good thing for Wang Linlin to come. She won’t mess with her again by making a vegetable pot, right? It was also annoying to say that because of Wang Linlin, Yu Tong had already restrained herself a lot from eating, so she was afraid that something would happen again if she saw something abnormal.
Except for the vegetables and meat that Lin Xianglian usually buys, Yu Tong cooks in small pots in the supermarket and then takes them out. Why can’t Wang Linlin just stop?
As soon as Xie Wencheng opened the door, he saw a glaring woman standing outside. Xie Wencheng was startled and didn’t recognize him, “Who are you looking for?”
Wang Linlin went straight to the point, “Let Lin Xianglian come out!” Impolite The address made Xie Wencheng’s impression of Wang Linlin even worse.
He frowned tightly and didn’t mean to give way, “Who are you? If you need Auntie Lin, tell me first.”
“Talk to you?” Wang Linlin flipped through the Rolling eyes, arrogant attitude, “Who are you? Is it useful to tell you? Running here every day, do you really regard yourself as the son-in-law of this family?!”
