Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"Haibo has recovered well. Now his limbs can move and he can speak. The doctor said that if he does follow-up rehabilitation well, he will have no problem standing up and walking!" Yang Delong said with a smile.

"Then there's no need for you to rush back!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "It's already the end of the year, and the Spring Festival is only about 20 days away. I was thinking, you can just celebrate the festival at home, and it will be fine after the festival!"

"I contacted Song Zhilan and went to her house to express my gratitude. After all, she also contributed to Haibo's treatment."

Yang Delong smiled and said, "I only found out after I went to her house that Yanjing City Department Store had placed another order. I was really worried about such a large production scale, so I rushed over!"

"Hey, why are you doing this..." Lin Zhengjun shook his head helplessly.

Yang Delong smiled and said, "Also, I bought the painting you asked me to buy! I guess you like these things the most, so I'll bring them over quickly to make you happy."

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box and took out a scroll first.

"Wait!"

Lin Zhengjun quickly removed the water cups, brown sugar jars and other debris on the dining table, wiped it once with a wet rag, and then wiped it again with a dry rag, before taking the scroll from Yang Delong and spreading it out on the dining table.

Ink painting, an eagle stands on a high branch of pine or cypress, with sharp eyes and a fierce gaze, which is awe-inspiring and majestic, like a pine tree surrounded by eagles.

The matching four-character seal script couplet "Long life and peace in the world" is thick, natural, dignified and grand.

Lin Zhengjun's eyes widened immediately, she was so beautiful!

Moreover, he had seen this painting at an auction later on, and Lin Zhengjun suddenly felt that he could lie down and no longer struggle!

"This is the information about this painting, written by Hou Kai, the general manager of Heping Painting Shop!" Yang Delong handed a piece of paper to Lin Zhengjun.

"This painting is called Pine and Cypress Standing Tall!"

Lin Zhengjun took the information and read: "This was created by Qi Baishi in 1946. It is 23 square feet and is the largest painting by Mr. Baishi in existence. It is one of the important masterpieces in his artistic career and is also a treasure of the Heping Art Shop!"

"The technique is good, the subject matter is good, the meaning is good, and the key is that it is so large, which is rare..." Tang Xiaofu's beautiful eyes lit up, and she was amazed.

"Oh my, this is so impressive, it's really a big deal..." Lin Zhengjun also liked it more and more, and asked with a smile: "How much is it?"

"This painting is 350 yuan, it's the most expensive painting in Heping Art Store!" Yang Delong asked nervously, "Did I lose money?"

"What's the loss? Not at all!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

In the 2011 China Guardian Spring Auction in the previous life, after fierce bidding, this set of paintings was finally sold for RMB 4.255 million, setting a new record for modern Chinese calligraphy and painting.

It’s not a loss according to the market price!

In 1977, Xu Huachi spent 100 yuan to buy a painting by Qi Baishi, which was about 10 square feet.

His father Xu Linlu looked at it and said it was authentic, but it was too expensive.

Generally speaking, the price of Qi Baishi's paintings does not exceed ten yuan per square foot.

But this one is different. It is the largest painting by Qi Baishi. Scarcity makes things valuable, so it is reasonable for the price to double.

“After I bought it, I regretted it.”

Yang Delong felt relieved, curled his lips and shook his head, saying: "Just think about it, a painter may only spend three days to paint such a picture! The income that day is only about 100 yuan, which is equivalent to two or three months' salary of a worker. I even went to return the goods, but they said that once they are sold, they cannot be returned..."

Lin Zhengjun: “…”

It’s a good thing you didn’t return the goods. If you had, I would have missed out on such great wealth!

What a loss!

Then, Lin Zhengjun took out another set of small paintings from the wooden box!

Why is it a set? Because there are 12 paintings in total, all of which are flowers, birds, and insects. There is a handwritten message "What a pity, it's silent" that is the same size as the painting and serves a similar purpose to the cover.

"Oh my, this is so cute!"

Tang Xiaofu's eyes lit up as she flipped through the painting, unable to let it go. She kept exclaiming, "Look at this painting! The butterflies and dragonflies flying toward the red flowers, between sparse and dense, elaborate and freehand, dynamic and static, present a brisk, fascinating countryside scene."

"A great painting, a masterpiece of flower and bird painting, painted in 1942!"

Lin Zhengjun also liked it very much: "Mr. Bai Shi's paintings are mostly freehand, but this one is a combination of meticulous, freehand and meticulous freehand, which is quite rare and has a high collection value!"

Tang Xiaofu's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement as she smiled and said, "Old Man Bai Shi wrote the four characters 'It's a pity that they are silent', which means that the insects in the painting are lifelike and vivid on paper. Their shapes are extremely realistic and are not inferior to those in the real world, but unfortunately they are silent."

“When I first saw the title, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but after looking at the paintings inside, I found that it was not exaggerated at all.”

"Look, that grasshopper is about to jump out of the picture. It is full of interest and the brushwork is elegant! It is neat and detailed, yet innocent and interesting!"

"Yes, it is indeed beautiful!"

Lin Zhengjun liked it very much and was even a little dazzled.

The colors, shapes and artistic conception are all very beautiful.

He originally asked Yang Delong to buy the painting in the hope of picking up a bargain and waiting for it to appreciate in value later, but now he has gained a great spiritual enjoyment.

I bought a Siheyuan and hung it up in the study. I play with it from time to time. It’s so beautiful!

"How much is this set of paintings?" Lin Zhengjun asked with a smile.

"Fifty yuan!" Yang Delong said hurriedly.

"Is it such a coincidence? How much was it? Give me the receipt!" Lin Zhengjun asked.

Yang Delong took out the receipt.

Lin Zhengjun took a look and saw that it was sixty yuan, which meant that Yang Delong had paid ten yuan for him.

"Here!" Lin Zhengjun took out ten yuan.

"No, 90 yuan is enough for me!" Yang Delong picked up his luggage and ran away, faster than a rabbit.

"Oh, this person... is too honest." Lin Zhengjun shook his head helplessly.

Well, next time I go to Yanjing, I will definitely go to the Peace Painting Shop and the National Museum to shop and buy as much as I can!

I must buy some of Huang Yongyu’s works. Oh, the little old guy is so cute!

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the end of December and tomorrow is New Year’s Day!

The villagers have no idea about New Year's Day. What they value most is the Spring Festival.

But Lin Zhengjun plans to give the food cooperative a day off!

The main reason is that I have been too busy at work during this period. Not only do I have to work three shifts, but there are no weekends either. Although the labor intensity has been reduced a lot with the help of modern machinery, it is still very tiring!

In addition, he planned to have the Cultural Bureau's film projection team come to Hewan Brigade to show a movie to everyone and entertain the villagers.

Nowadays, movie screenings have become a common form of entertainment in cities. Some large units even have their own screening equipment and rent copies from cultural departments for screening.

But in rural areas, it is still very difficult to watch movies. Being able to watch one or two movies throughout the year is considered a happy thing.

In addition, Lin Zhengjun plans to convene a shareholders meeting of the collective cooperative to decide on dividends!

This is also a new development in the cooperative. In the past, the team liked to distribute money and grain before the Chinese New Year.

But Lin Zhengjun felt that since the cooperative needed to be managed in a standardized manner, it should still operate according to the Gregorian calendar and just give out some red envelopes at the end of the year.

In addition, the brigade and its members also urgently needed money to change the current situation of poverty and backwardness.

For example, several members who joined the cooperative have talked to Lin Zhengjun and said that they wanted to marry a wife or daughter during the Chinese New Year, which requires giving a betrothal gift or preparing a dowry!

Therefore, dividends must be distributed early!
