Chapter 33 "The Kite Runner" 05 I don't know much about art

This barbecue is surprisingly delicious.

Grilled eggplant dipped in garlic sauce, spicy and satisfying.The grilled chicken wings are tender and juicy, and the beef and mutton are delicious and plump.In addition, the freshly steamed big crab is full of fat and cream, and it is full of lingering fragrance when dipped in the sauce, and it has a special flavor when you eat it without stuttering.

He Renzhi eats it to his heart's content.

"Sister-in-law's cooking skills are really top-notch."

Bai Luo smiled: "If you want to eat, you can often come to our house for dinner in the future."

He Renzhi: "Okay, if you don't come, you won't come! My brother is lucky now!"

..................................................................

On the second day, He Houzhi returned home after participating in the group party.

He Renzhi and his elder brother praised Bai Luo's cooking skills, but when they heard it later, they only let out a soft oh.

"Isn't that what women do?"

He Renzhi shook his head secretly.It's a pity that my sister-in-law is such a good woman, and in the end she took advantage of this guy.

..................................................................

From that day on, Bai Luo lived in the small villa of Empress He's House.

He Houzhi doesn't love women, so he always only maintains superficial courtesy to Bai Luo.

There is always a slight dislike behind the politeness.

Sometimes He Hou thought she was vulgar, sometimes she thought she was a woman, and sometimes she thought she was both vulgar and a woman.This kind of disgust floats in the deepest part of every sentence and every look, like a sharp stone in a shoe, it is difficult to be ignored.

Bai Luo has no objection to this - this guy is her high-ranking friend.It was impossible for her to expect too much from such a relationship that was completely maintained by interests.

..................................................................

On a certain day of a certain year, his uncle He Renzhi came to their house again for a meal.

It just so happened that the day after that I went out to meet my boyfriend again and was not at home.

Bai Luo stewed rice and cooked three dishes for He Renzhi: stewed chicken with potatoes in casserole, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and roasted eggplant.

Chicken stewed with potatoes is crispy and soft, and the roasted eggplant is sweet and delicious.The most homely scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Bai Luoduo put some sesame oil and tomato sauce, the fried taste is different from others.

She paid out of her own pocket and went to a Chinese supermarket to buy two bottles of plum wine.Both of them have a lot of alcohol, drinking some fruit wine and sweating, slightly drunk is more appetizing.

Anyone who eats is full of praise.

"My sister-in-law cooks deliciously."

Bai Luo nodded.

"Actually, my father opened a restaurant before, and I learned a lot from my father. From now on, I will slowly cook it for your family."

While talking, Bai Luo thought about it, and asked again: "Ren Zhi, I haven't asked you what you do yet. Are you also an art student?"

He Renzhi shook his head.

"It was true that I studied art back then, but I couldn't continue with half of my studies. I didn't finish college, so I went to a small company under the family business, and now I am the general manager of the small company."

Bai Luo: "That's great. I became the general manager at such a young age."

He Renzhi shook his head.

"Hey, it doesn't make sense. I haven't even graduated from college. I have no education, no ability, and no ability. In fact, it's because of my family's relationship."

Bai Luo nodded.After a few polite words with him, he asked again: "Your father and brother are both professors at the University of Art. Why didn't you finish your university?"

He Renzhi said frankly: "One is that I am too unreliable. The other is that I don't like learning art very much."

"I didn't study art with my father back then, but music.

Learning music is more expensive than studying art.If you want to enter the conservatory of music, you have to pay the school all kinds of money, no matter whether your musical skills are strong or weak.If you don't waste money, the teacher will look at your face, and you will be rejected in the exam.No matter how good your music skills are, no one in the academy wants you.

There is also a way to stuff money.Some schools give you 50 million packages so that you can go to school, while some schools are very strict, and you will be transferred to follow the teacher to run classes if you stop paying.A class is thousands of dollars, you run as many classes as you like, and the teacher will naturally recommend you if he collects enough money.

In fact, my musical talent is not very good.I was born with tone deafness. When I was a teenager, I didn't know how to study, and I didn't practice the piano all day long. My skills were poor.

My father was very anxious at the time, so he asked a professor at the music school to ask.That's okay, the professor said.Let me not take the direction of music performance.He gave me a major like "History of Music" and asked me to take more cultural courses and memorize the exam questions from the first two years of the college.In fact, these are secondary.The main reason is that I have enough money, he will definitely let me go to school.

My dad asked me if I would like to learn.I thought about it and said, let's forget it.After all, I am tone deaf. If you say that if you buy a diploma in such a strange major as "Music History" or "Musicology Theory", you will never be able to find a corresponding job in the future. What is the point of studying it?

My dad is a little upset.He asked me, what do you want to do?

I thought about it for a long time, and finally said, or I will learn art from you.

My dad said, okay, why didn't you say it earlier.As I said earlier, it can save a lot of trouble.

Then he arranged for me to study art.But I'm also lazy, playing games, drinking, and dating girlfriends all day long.

When the exam was about to come, my father saw that I was really not good enough, so he simply asked me to enter their art academy to study modern art.

Modern art is actually a big mess like performance art that is difficult for you to understand now.Although such a college belongs to the Academy of Fine Arts, most of the students in it are not very good at painting.Many people, like me, did not have an art background at all.Let you draw a basic still life sketch, we can all draw crooked, abstract.

I also don't understand what I learned in this academy.Life and philosophy are messy all day long. After studying for a whole year, if you ask me what I have learned, I can’t tell myself. The teacher who taught me probably doesn’t know what he taught.

My graduation project for freshman year was to smear myself in ink and then spread white paper on the floor to perform Tai Chi.This is called capturing light and shadow, and I got the highest score in the class at that time.

A buddy of mine at the time said, to put it bluntly, this kind of modern art is for a group of rich people to move themselves when they have nothing to do.The greatest use of this kind of art is actually to allow those of us wealthy children who have no skills to mix up their academic qualifications and study for a period of unclear learning.I think what this guy said makes sense.

Later, I took that major for a year, and I didn't want to take it anymore.

My father hated that iron could not be made into steel, so he picked up the belt and beat me up.After drawing, he asked me, can you still get in?
I said, Dad, I just don't feel like going to it.I don't think it's useless.

My dad beat me again.He was also tired after smoking, so he had no choice but to tell me that I can't control you anymore.What do you want to do, just do it yourself, as long as you don't lose all the money your father and I gave you.

I was so happy to hear that.Afterwards, I contacted my aunt, and worked under her for two years, and then I got into the position of general manager of such a branch step by step. "
