Rebirth of the Nine-Three Era

In the evening, the Artists Association arranged a dinner, and all participating painters were invited. Yu Yangguang specifically told Yin Yuan that Lin Wanting should also participate.

Yin Yuan brought his wife and children to the dinner party, but Yu Yangguang insisted on pulling him to the front table.

Sitting there were two provincial leaders in charge of culture, several leaders of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the great painter Guan Shangui, and Li Mincheng.

Lin Wanting whispered to Yin Yuan: "That table is full of leaders. I am taking my children there to avoid disturbing them. I'd better sit at the same table with Li Weihong and Cai Lihua, right?"

A few of them also saw them and were waving to them.

Yin Yuan said: "Okay, I'll go find you after dinner."

Of course Yu Yangguang didn't force it.

Xue Weidong also sat at the same table as Li Weihong. After Lin Wanting sat down, everyone was teasing Xiaobao.

Xiaobao is still looking for his father everywhere.

Finally he saw it, and he said to his mother: "Dad, where is it?"

Wanting coaxed him: "Yes, daddy is over there. Be good, baby. Let's go find daddy after dinner."

Yin Yuan also waved to his son.

He actually saw the female curator of the museum sitting at the same table as the leader.

She must have recognized Yin Yuan at this time, because she was also present when the awards were presented.

Yin Yuan nodded to her, and the female curator quickly said: "Hello, Comrade Yin Yuan, I hope you don't care about my attitude towards you that day."

Yin Yuan said: "I didn't pay attention that day, and you didn't do anything wrong?"

Yu Yangguang was confused when he heard this, and Yin Yuan told him what happened that day.

"Haha, this is a small thing. It's normal for such a small baby to urinate everywhere."

Yu Yangguang introduced him to the leaders present.

Both provincial leaders praised him: "Talents like Xiao Yin, who have the potential of great painters, should be taken seriously by both the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Artists Association. He is so young and can be used as a business card in the cultural circles of our province in the future."

Guan Shanjie suggested: "Comrade Li Xiancai passed away, and the painting circle in our province suffered a great loss. Fortunately, Comrade Yin Yuan stood out, which made everyone feel happy. I suggest that Comrade Yin Yuan serve as the vice chairman of the Provincial Artists Association and continue to Let our province’s painting community have a place in the country and make a contribution.”

Several leaders of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles nodded and said, "We also have this idea."

Both provincial leaders said: "The painting circle in our province will definitely improve in the future. Comrade Yin Yuan is still so young and has a bright future."

Yin Yuan refused and said: "I'm afraid I don't have enough time to participate in the management of the Artists Association. Besides, I have no experience in this area at all."

Guan Shanjie said to him: "If you draw your paintings well, it will be the greatest support for the work of the Artists Association. Comrade Yu Xiao is responsible for the specific work. I rarely care about specific things in normal times..."

Yu Yangguang said to him: "Comrade Yin Yuan, the Artists Association needs potential painters like you. I will send you documents directly in the future, and I will not disturb you at ordinary times, unless the leadership is in a meeting, or you need to represent our province. The painting circle goes to the capital for a meeting."

When it comes to this matter, if Yin Yuan still insists on not agreeing, he will look squeamish.

He said politely: "I hope all leaders will give me more guidance in the future."

Leader He asked him: "Xiao Yin, have you joined the organization now?"

Yin Yuan said: "We are already preparing because it has not been long since the relationship has been transferred to Jiang Ming."

Leader He said: "That's good. I mean, talented young people like Xiao Yin should actively move closer to the organization."

At the beginning of the dinner, Leader He stood up and gave a speech, praising the exhibition as a great success.

He said: "Of course, the wallets of all the painters are also bulging a lot. The Hong Kong collector I mentioned spent almost 200 million to collect your paintings this time, which is one-third more than last year. It can be seen that the level of this art exhibition has improved compared to last year. many."

He suggested that everyone paint carefully and strive to gain a lot from every art exhibition.

Another leader Liu also spoke.

Guan Shanjie also said a few words.

The dinner has rich dishes and unique tastes.

Yin Yuan saw his son sitting and eating obediently from a distance, not making any fuss at all.

Li Weihong and Cai Lihua next to him chopped up the food and fed it to him bit by bit.

At the end of the show, Yu Yangguang quietly said to Yin Yuan: "Please come to the office building of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles tomorrow. Our Artists Association is on the eighth floor. I will wait for you in the office."

Yin Yuan agreed.

He found his wife's table. When his son saw him, he reached out for him to hug him.

Li Weihong said: "Your son is so good. He is willing to hug him as long as there is something delicious to eat."

Yin Yuan said: "This little guy is a foodie."

Several of them had drunk a little wine and were a little tipsy.

But Wanting didn't take a sip of wine.

Xue Weidong just fed Xiaobao with a little wine on his chopsticks, but she stopped him on the spot.

Yin Yuan told them: "If you have time to come to Jiang Ming, you can come to his home as guests."

He also asked Cai Lihua: "Should you be participating in the exhibition of famous painters in Beijing in two months' time?"

Cai Lihua said: "I definitely took part in such a good opportunity. At least I can make a little more money. In fact, I am a poor person now."

Yin Yuan knew that Cai Lihua was also married, but she was very secretive about family matters. She always avoided talking about family matters, so it was difficult for others to ask.

Xue Weidong said: "The really poor person is me, old Xue. I am old and poor. I estimate that I will never make a difference in this life. My son will take the college entrance examination next year. My biggest wish is that he can go to college and study for a few years. At least he will pass the college entrance examination." A college degree is worthy of my hard work for him."

He said that he made more than 4 yuan from selling paintings this time, which is the most money he has made from painting in decades. He may not be able to sleep tonight.

He said to Yin Yuan: "Comrade Xiao Yin, you see, I only got one-tenth of your money, but I am more excited than you. Am I not promising? You have to know that this money is equivalent to six or seven years of salary for me to attend classes." ”

Seeing that he was obviously drunk, Jia Yuan said to him: "Let's go back to the hotel and sleep. You drank too much."

He was worried that if he went out to the alleys at night and put the money in his pocket, he would be defrauded by immortals.

He thought to himself: Don't talk about more than 40, 400 million is placed in front of me, even 4000 million, there will be no fluctuation in my expression.

Xue Weidong seemed to have found someone to focus on, talking to Yin Yuan as he walked.

"My wife used to quarrel with me because I like painting, saying that I won't be able to draw anything famous until I'm 60 years old. My attitude has changed a bit since I got a place in the art exhibition last time. Although I didn't enter this time The top three, but I am also very satisfied. You can’t become fat by eating in one go. I believe that I will definitely gain something before I am 60 years old.”

Old Xue is only 50 years old now, and Yin Yuan wants to tell him: "My real progress in painting skills was only after the age of 50. If he had not had more than 50 years of life experience in his previous life, he would not have been able to draw such in-depth pictures. "

But it’s hard to say.

A few people walked downstairs of the hotel. Xue Weidong thought for a while and said, "It's still so early. If I can't sleep, I'd better go out for a walk."

Yin Yuan handed his son to his wife.

"Give me a few minutes and I'll have a few words with this old Xue."

He grabbed Lao Xue who was about to leave.

He patted his pockets and saw that his wallet was bulging.

"Old Xue, you have several thousand dollars with you. When you go out at night, you are not afraid of running into those bad guys. Those people will not only rob you of your money, but also kill you. You have to be careful."

Lao Xue said: "I only go to places with many people, and I don't go to remote places."

Yin Yuan whispered to him: "It's better to be careful. You drank a little bit more tonight. If you go to those alleys, you think those women standing on the street are good people and they might rob you."

Lao Xue took out a stack of money and a bulging wallet from his pocket, and said to Yin Yuan: "Brother Yin Yuan, please keep it safe for me. There are 500 yuan here. I only bring 500 yuan for shopping. In addition, You can take the four thousand upstairs for me and give it to me tomorrow morning. Only put five hundred in your pocket, so even if you encounter a bad person, the loss won't be that big."

He had obviously made up his mind to experience whether the street girls in this provincial capital were different from those in other cities.

Yin Yuan counted the banknotes with him on the spot, put 500 yuan into his wallet, and returned it to him.

Tell him to be careful.

Xue Weidong also said with a smile: "Brother Yin Yuan still understands the ups and downs of men."

When a man has money in his pocket, his thoughts will become more complicated.

How many people can truly achieve Yin Yuan's state of mind?

When he returned to the room, he guaranteed Lao Xue's 4000 yuan in a separate envelope.

Wanting also asked him strangely: "Why should I keep Lao Xue's money for you?"

"He was afraid of being robbed when he went out at night and was worried about money, so he asked me to bring the money up for him and give it to him tomorrow morning."

Get warm water and give your son a bath.

Xiaobao also deliberately poured water on his mother. After washing, Yin Yuan asked his wife to wash her first while he applied talcum powder and muzi oil on the little one.

Play with him in bed.

Xiaobao giggled very happily.

10:30 A family of three enjoy the warm family time.

Suoyuan told his wife: "The leader has arranged for me to serve as the vice chairman of the Provincial Artists Association, and I have to go to the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles office building tomorrow."

Wanting said happily: "Congratulations to my husband for getting promoted to another level. You are already a famous painter in the province. It won't take long to become a famous painter in the country."

In the middle of the night, I heard noises coming from the corridor outside.

I got up in the morning, brushed my teeth and washed my face, then went to the restaurant to have breakfast. I accidentally ran into Liu Changding and Li Weihong sitting closely together in the restaurant.

Yin Yuan laughed and said: "I met someone spreading dog food early in the morning. I was full even if I didn't eat."

Liu Changding said: "You are just a state official who is allowed to light fires. People are not allowed to light lamps. You and your sister-in-law can just spread dog food every day. When people get closer and talk, they will have something to say."

Yin Yuan glanced around, but did not see Old Xue, so he asked: "Old Xue comes to have breakfast at this time every day, why haven't you seen him today?"

Li Weihong said: "At twelve o'clock last night, we met Lao Xue at the door of the hotel. He came back with a bruised face and swollen nose, and wounds on his forehead and neck. When I asked him what happened, he said we met him outside. A few bad guys were robbing me. I guess my face was injured and I was too embarrassed to come to the restaurant for breakfast."

Yin Yuan had breakfast and quickly went to find Xue Weidong.

He first asked Wanting to take her son back to her room.

I went to knock on Xue Weidong's door. When I entered, I saw Lao Xue eating a bowl of instant noodles.

He handed 4000 yuan into his hand.

"What's the matter with you? Were you really robbed last night?"

The painter who lived in the same room with him picked up his things and left, greeting Yin Yuan politely.

Because they know that Yin Yuan is already the vice chairman of the Artists Association, everyone will greet him when they meet him.

Xue Weidong whispered: "Oh, I regret not listening to you. Sure enough, something bad happened when I went out last night."

"Fortunately, I only have 500 yuan in my wallet. Otherwise, no matter how much money I put on me, it would be gone last night."

"So this money is equivalent to the loss you helped me recover. I want to express my gratitude to you."

He took out 1000 yuan and handed it to Yin Yuan and said, "This thousand yuan is a small token of my gratitude to you."

Yin Yuan pushed him and said: "Old Xue, who do you think you are? Will I ask for your money? You guy just didn't listen to my repeated reminders last night. You were half drunk and your pockets were full of money. When you go out and show off, you are telling others that I have money and no one dares to rob me."

He saw that Lao Xue had scratches on his forehead and neck. Although the bleeding had stopped, it was still red.

He reminded: "You'd better go to the hospital to get some medicine, otherwise the wound will become infected and you will be in trouble in the future."

Xue Weidong said: "I finished my fast food noodles, and after checking out, I went to the medical clinic to get some medicine, and then went to the train station to take the bus home."

Yin Yuan knew that he was a flamboyant person who was fussy about details, so he reminded him: "You'd better go to the bank to deposit money. Just bring a few hundred yuan with you. That way there is no risk in taking a bus."

Bag grabbing and money grabbing happened at Yangcheng Railway Station in broad daylight, almost every day.

Xue Weidong nodded repeatedly: "You are right to remind me. I will go to the bank to deposit money later."

He reached for the travel bag and couldn't help but let out a hissing sound.

"The arm is also injured. Did you fight with them?"

He is a middle-aged greasy uncle who can do a better job than the young people there.

Xue Weidong said sheepishly: "I went into an alley and agreed on a price with a street girl. After entering, I took off my clothes and put them on the stool by the window. In the middle of the day, I heard the door being opened slightly. A young man was looking through my pocket and wallet. I got up on the spot to stop him. The young man took 500 yuan from my wallet. When he saw that I found out, he got angry and beat me. The woman also jumped on me and tore me apart."

"With the two of them alone, I wouldn't have suffered such a big loss. Later, a man from their hometown next door also ran in and hit me in the neck with a broom. Two men and two women pinned me to the ground and beat me for more than ten minutes. , and then I shouted for help, and they pushed me out."

"I went to find two city defense team members, but after hearing this, they said I was stupid. They said you went to find a street girl and you had the nerve to shout here. You are not afraid to let your leaders know when you return to the unit and the leaders will punish you. So. Later I gave up the idea of ​​calling the police.”

Yin Yuan felt angry and helpless at his experience.

This result can only be attributed to him.

He comforted him for a few words and left.
