Plant peaches with uncle

Lin Yueming led the palace painter in and met his parents and relatives. Su Ruoyan sat on the sofa and watched with a dazed expression from beginning to end. He felt that he was going to be an elder brother too.

There are not many relatives in the palace painter's family, and there are fewer contacts. In the past few years, I spent the Chinese New Year with my old family in Taolin Village. This year, I opened a resort. The two of them simply booked a table in the hotel. This year's New Year's Eve dinner will be eaten there. up.As for the meal at noon, when Lin Yueming sent the buns a few years ago, he heard that they were just making do at home at noon, so he invited them to be guests at home.

The old family waved their hands and didn't come, but the palace painter brought the latest works created by inspiration as gifts.

The thinking of an artist is truly incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Su Ruoyan couldn't figure out how good the painting that the whole family was hanging on the wall was. The technique was sophisticated and the background was beautiful. From a layman's point of view, the distant mountains and rivers, the green tiles and the black walls, and the smoke from the kitchen It's quiet and beautiful, but why is there a big fat white cat in front of the house, and a broken blue and white bowl with a chip in front of the big fat cat, and a skinny mouse swimming in the broken bowl?

The distant mountains, tile-roofed houses, and smoke from the kitchen are not the subject of this painting. The fat cat and thin mouse are the protagonists, because the cat is half the size of a house, and the expression on Mao's face is lifelike, just like a human being.

The uncle and the palace painter hit it off immediately, saying that this painting attacked the darkness in social reality, entrusting the powerlessness of life to the landscape but not getting rid of the trivialities of life.

The uncle's words were recognized by everyone.

Su Ruoyan looked at them inexplicably, but he didn't see anything.

Quietly pulled Qin Chengyu's sleeve, "Is this painting amazing?"

Qin Chengyu patted his head, "Just know it's valuable."

"Ah? Didn't you say that he was very popular ten years ago, but now he is silent?"

"Being quiet doesn't mean it's worthless. When he was popular, there were only a dozen or so paintings that were circulated, and the price of each pair was more than 5000 million in national auctions. He probably experienced some things in the past ten years, and the artistic conception of his paintings has changed. It has changed drastically and its style is very different from before, but it has become more sought after by the world, and the price of each of the three works that have been handed down is more than [-] million at national auctions."

"Gudong." Su Ruoyan heard the sound of swallowing his saliva, "Is this the tens of millions hanging on the wall?"

"Maybe it can appreciate in value."

Su Ruoyan is no longer confused. Looking at a palace painter now is like looking at a moving golden mountain. The premise is that he doesn't easily capture his mother's heart. As a son of man, he hopes that his mother will pursue happiness, but he will also be jealous.

Then secretly tugged at Qin Chengyu, whispered into his ear and said, "Can you investigate the artist's character? I don't want my mother to meet my second father."

"Don't worry, I will ask some friends about it."

"Uh-huh."

On New Year's Eve, the main event is the New Year's Eve dinner. Some people have a simple meal at noon and save their stomachs for dinner, but the Lin family's lunch is also extremely rich. After eating this meal, people look forward to the New Year's Eve dinner even more. How wonderful.

I ate hot pot at noon, not spicy pot or big bone hot pot, but made a vegetarian broth with bean sprouts, cabbage, radish and other vegetables. The taste inside takes away the freshness of the mutton, and the pot of vegetable broth is thicker. After eating a few plates of mutton, cook the rest, the taste is even more delicious.

Of course, the main character is mutton. A whole sheep was purchased, and the sliced ​​mutton can be eaten with open belly. As for the ribs, hooves, offal, etc., some of them were packed as a dish on the New Year’s Eve dinner, and some were frozen. Put it in the refrigerator and save it for later.

Su Ruoyan likes to dip a little sweet vinegar in his mutton, he thinks it tastes better this way, and there is Qin Chengyu serving him next to him, so he just eats it, of course, Qin Chengyu also controls the portion and doesn't let him eat unrestrainedly.

Eating mutton and listening to my mother's speech.

"I have always liked Miyagi's paintings. I took a picture 12 years ago and hung it in my bedroom. I always felt that the picture of birds and birds made people's hearts calm when I looked at it. Later, I added a fellow artist In the group, everyone discusses the paintings of palace painters, and I met a netizen named Gao Qiang. I have known each other for almost ten years, and I never thought that the high wall is Miyagi." Lin Yueming smiled and looked at Miyagi sideways, and then The reporter sent the mutton in the colander to her bowl, "Some time ago we were chatting and were going to add WeChat. I didn't expect it to be in the friend list of the other party. I felt it was too coincidental and the world was too small on the spot."

"This is our fate."

"Hmm." Lin Yueming smiled sweetly with eyes that were very similar to Su Ruoyan's.

Su Ruoyan has the urge to cover his face, he probably really wants to be an older brother, and his younger brother or younger sister is younger than his child ==

I really don't know what to say about this kind of thing. Whether it's the speed of emotional development between the mother and the painter, or the joy of the family's grandparents and two uncles, as a son, as long as the mother is happy and happy.Looking at Miyagi, Su Ruoyan squinted his eyes, if there is anything wrong with him, don't worry about him turning his face and denying others.

After the lunch was lively and lively, the New Year's Eve dinner was also full of reunion and beauty. After the meal, we watched the Spring Festival Gala together, ate melon seeds, chatted, etc., and there were constant laughter.

As soon as breakfast is eaten on the first day of the new year, the most important part of the year is completed. Afterwards, eating, drinking, visiting relatives and friends, time seems to fly, and in a blink of an eye, it will be the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.

It was agreed that Qin Chengyu would go to City B to spend the Lantern Festival, of course he had to promise and he couldn't go against the wishes of his parents, right?

Qin Chengyu brought Su Ruoyan a day earlier, and brought some greetings to Qin's house in Xinhe Garden. There are guards at the gate of the compound, and it is impossible for anyone who is waiting to go in, let alone get close.

The houses inside are all single-family villas. The villas are not very luxurious. Some creepers are crawling on the gray walls, and some are bare. It doesn’t look like the residence of veteran cadres in City B, but more like a house built in the countryside more than ten years ago. The display of style, if it weren't for the large green area, tall and prosperous trees, and guards guarding the door, Su Ruoyan would have felt that he had entered some village.

Qin's house is in the back, the place is not big, the three-story building is surrounded by two loquat trees, it looks simple and unadorned, it is the place where Qin Chengyu grew up.

The Qin family has a large population. Father Qin and mother Qin raised four sons and one daughter. Except for the oldest, Qin Boyu, and the youngest, Qin Chengyu, all of them had already married and worked outside the home. .

What he didn't expect was that Qin Boyu was also there this year. When he saw Qin Chengyu bringing Su Ruoyan, he just nodded indifferently and didn't say much.

It was expected that Qin's father and Qin's mother would see Su Ruoyan, and they did not embarrass him, but they were not enthusiastic, as if it was dispensable.

The Qin family ushered in the Lantern Festival in this deserted and weird atmosphere.

Outside the courtyard, there was the sound of children laughing and running, adults chatting and passing by, the sound of music in the square in the distance came faintly through the houses and bushes, and the voice of changing pitch was sobbing and whimpering, which was unreal, like wind The murmur of a frustrated man.

Every year, an art troupe comes to the community to deliver culture, which is very popular among adults and children in the community, but the Qin family seldom participates. As Qin's father grows older, he dislikes crowded places less and less. Qin's mother hears the noise The sound is a headache.

Qin Chengyu has not participated in such activities several times since he was a child, and most of the time he accompanied his parents to finish the Lantern Festival dinner in the house relatively silently, and then went back to their houses.When he was young, he would close the door and stand in front of the window to watch the excitement in the square. After growing up, he never did this kind of thing again. According to the book, there is not much difference between holidays and ordinary days.

The same is true today, the meal is clear and cold.Qin's father and Qin's mother are getting old, and they are always seventy percent full when they eat. There are no big fish and meat on the holiday table. They are all light dishes. The meat is steamed, and the fish is also steamed. Eggplants, potatoes, green peppers and other vegetables are also available Steamed with high broth, the taste is good, but it is too bland.

Su Ruoyan picked up an eggplant with chopsticks, and the eggplant needs a lot of oil to be delicious, but this eggplant with chopsticks is full of water, it is soft in the mouth, basically there is no salt, and it tastes like the aroma of the eggplant itself.

It can't be said that she can't eat, but Su Ruoyan, who has never had the habit of eating and sleeping since she was a child, really felt restless when she went to the Qin family's dining table. The smiling old lady looked at people with a bit of a stern look. In Su Ruoyan's view, that was scrutiny and criticism.He is a plate of salted fish in the freezer, being judged by the guests with picky eyes, as if they will raise a card for him in the next moment, whether it is a high score of [-] points, a low-flying six points, or a clear stage. Zero score, no one knows, because the standard has not been announced, it is just hidden in the hearts of customers.

The meeting this time was completely different from the previous meeting in the village. When I was in the village, I felt the old lady's dislike for me, and it seemed to be raised to a higher level here.

Feeling his hand being held, the warm touch relieved his tension and let his heart relax slightly.

Qin Chengyu knew how Su Ruoyan felt on pins and needles, because that's how he grew up.If you make a slight mistake, you will deduct a few points from the low score.Qin Chengyu was once afraid that he would become a child who failed in the hearts of his parents, so he strived to be the best and worked hard. Whether it was grades or life, he was the best in other people's families.

It was only limited to other people's families, because his parents rarely praised him, even if they praised him, in their eyes, Qin Chengyu could still see a touch of grooming and faint sadness.

Later, excellence just became a habit in life, a means to break away from the Qin family, not to please parents.

"Mother Wang, bring the wine." The silent dining table was broken by Qin Boyu. He yelled a few times but no one brought the wine. When he looked away, he saw his mother's worried and disapproving eyes. I'll just go to the mountain head office, how can a good day be without good wine to cheer up, drink, drink together, don't get drunk and don't go home, hahaha..."
