Liu Zhi's determination to break up her ex's parents was true. That night, she asked Yuan Meilian for a large piece of rubber band, which Yuan Meilian used to make pants.
Yuan Meilian felt a little distressed, "This can be used as a belt for three or four pairs of trousers..."
Liu Zhi patted her shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay. I'll buy it for you next time. When you get married, I'll give you a beautiful new dress!"
Yuan Meilian curled her lips disdainfully, "I can also make clothes myself!" She showed Liu Zhi the clothes she made and the sweaters she knitted by herself.
Not to mention, the workmanship and color of the sweater will not be out of date even 40 years later, and can even compete with big international brands.
Liu Zhi also thought of Erfeng, who was extremely handy. Girls in this era basically knew some tailoring skills. It was very important to enable them to make money with their skills.
"Then you knit a sweater for Shanmei and I'll give you five yuan."
Yuan Meilian's eyes suddenly lit up, five yuan! This is really too much!
She suppressed her doubts and nodded happily, "Okay, okay, I will definitely knit a beautiful sweater for her!"
Liu Zhi asked again, "Are there many people in our captain who are better at crafts than you?"
Yuan Meilian was not very happy, thinking that her sister-in-law did not believe in her craftsmanship, "No! I am the best!"
Liu Zhi laughed and patted Yuan Meilian on the shoulder, "Very good, I like girls who are confident."
Yuan Meilian looked confused and looked at Liu Zhi as if she were a fool.
The next day, Liu Zhi got up early and went to the educated youth spot. She wanted He Xiuyuan to help transfer the rubber bands to Nizi and the others.
Firstly, the school is built between the two brigades, so there is some distance between them. Secondly, after all, Shanmei is now nominally from another brigades, Liu Zhi still has to keep a low profile.
Liu Zhi went there a little early, and several male educated youths lined up in a row to brush their teeth.
As soon as they saw her, several young people became happy, "Sister Liu Zhi is here! Zhong Zhiqing is still in bed!"
When Liu Zhi came to visit Zhong Qi, she would occasionally bring some candies and cookies to everyone. Everyone agreed that she wanted them to take more care of Zhong Qi, and subconsciously regarded Liu Zhi as Zhong Qi's love partner.
Zhong Qi himself was teased so much that he fell into confusion. To say that Widow Liu liked him, he felt that she liked his paintings more. Most of the topics they talked about were about his paintings.
But if you don't like it, it seems difficult for a woman to keep delivering food to a man every day.
Zhong Qi sometimes pulls He Xiuyuan to analyze for him. He is the best-looking among the educated youths. Several female educated youths have a crush on her. She must have more emotional experience than herself.
Unfortunately, He Xiuyuan always looked unhappy every time he heard this question. Zhong Qi didn't know where he had offended him. Anyway, he became more and more uncomfortable when facing Liu Zhi.
Liu Zhi smiled and greeted several educated youths, waving her hands awkwardly, "Stop quarreling with Zhong Zhiqing, I'm here to see He Zhiqing today."
The young men stared wide-eyed. Why is Comrade Liu still related to the most popular man in the educated youth spot? Could it be that she couldn't resist this temptation?
Seeing everyone's shocked and curious expressions, Liu Zhi raised the rubber band in her hand and explained, "I want He Zhiqing to help me carry something. My niece goes to school in the brigade primary school."
It turns out that was the case. Everyone stopped thinking about eating melons, washed their faces and left.
Liu Zhi walked up to He Xiuyuan and handed over the rubber band, "Please bring this rubber band to Nizi. I promised her yesterday."
He Xiuyuan didn't say anything and took the opportunity.
Huh? So easy to talk to? Liu Zhi glanced at He Xiuyuan suspiciously, originally thinking that he would mock her.
She could imagine his movements and tone.
——
Standing upright, head slightly raised, eyes lowered and locked on her, "What new way are you trying to provoke me?"
"Pfft--" Liu Zhi almost laughed out loud because she was amused by her own imagination.
He Xiuyuan on the side looked puzzled, "Why are you laughing?"
Of course you can't tell him! Liu Zhi waved her hand, "Nothing, just smile casually."
Since He Xiuyuan is so easy to talk to now, he needs to push further.
Liu Zhi smiled and said, "Teacher He, can I trouble you with one more thing?"
"What?" "You can watch over Jin Yonghui for me and don't let him play with Shanmei all the time, okay?"
"Isn't it good for a boy to protect her?" He Xiuyuan was puzzled.
Liu Zhi had no choice but to give a random reason, "Don't say goodbye. Just like that, if anything happens, don't tear up my Shanmei. I'm not as aggressive as her."
"Really?"
Before Liu Zhi could appreciate the meaning of his words, He Xiuyuan took the rubber band and walked away, "I will remind you."
Seeing that person wearing a yellowed white shirt but still unable to conceal her elegant temperament, Liu Zhi realized belatedly that that guy He Xiuyuan was calling her a bitch! ! !
This stinky bastard is teasing her, right? !
Liu Zhi stamped her feet angrily, and her expression was still vicious when she entered the room. Zhong Qi was startled by her, "Comrade Liu Zhi, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I was almost bitten by a dog just now."
Zhong Qi did not doubt where the dog came from nearby, but nodded along with Liu Zhi's words, "You have to be careful then."
"By the way, I have something to give you. Thank you for taking care of me during this time!" Zhong Qi got off the bed. His legs and feet had almost recovered a long time ago. It was Liu Zhi who was worried about the sequelae and forced him to Asking him to lie down for a few more days, Zhong Qi felt that he would become useless if he lay down any longer.
Liu Zhi stepped forward and wanted to help him, but Zhong Qi refused, "No, no, no, I have fully recovered now."
Zhong Qi stopped in front of a box, opened the cabinet, and gently took out a flower scroll from it. Liu Zhi saw it and felt happy. Is the future master finally going to give her a painting?
Liu Zhi stared at Zhong Qi and saw him holding out the scroll and scratching his head in embarrassment with his other hand, "I drew this during this period. I think it's pretty good. I'll give it to you. Here it is, I hope you don’t dislike it!”
"No way! I don't even have time to appreciate it. Every one of your paintings is a masterpiece!" Liu Zhi took the painting in an awkward manner, unfolded it and looked at it for a long time. He praised it with more than ten idioms in one breath, and finally said: , "The picture of Ningshui you painted is like Qi Baishi's shrimp, and Zhang Daqian's picture of the couple is really a masterpiece!"
If you're lucky, this painting could be worth more than 10 million! Ordinary ones can be sold for hundreds of thousands to millions. How could she not praise such a large sum of money!
Zhong Qi was embarrassed by Liu Zhi's praise, "That's not that exaggerated. It's ridiculous! I will try to practice hard and be on par with the masters."
Although he clearly knew that his level was really not comparable to that of the master, Zhong Qi felt very happy that someone was willing to praise him so generously. No wonder those in power since ancient times like to be praised by others. This feeling is really great.
Zhong Qi only allowed himself to indulge in the praise for a while. After a few minutes, he finally came to his senses and said with a red face, "As long as you like it."
Liu Zhi rolled up the painting carefully and winked at Zhong Qi, "Can you also send me some of the scraps you haven't completed yet?"
Zhong Qi was puzzled, "Yes, there are, what do you want them for?"
Liu Zhi boasted, "Sometimes imperfection is also a kind of beauty. I really like your paintings and want to collect as many as possible!"
Zhong Qi was very moved. Only after Qianli Ma meets Bole can he show his greatest ability. He felt that Liu Zhi was his Bole. Not long before he met her, Zhong Qi felt that he was about to give up painting. Just like his parents said, this thing could not make any money and could not help him return to the city. Here, is it worth spending money on pens, inks, paper and inkstones all day long?
Now, Zhong Qi will never think about this issue again. As long as one person likes his paintings, it will be worth it for him to persist!
But Zhong Qi was in a dilemma. He cherished Comrade Liu Zhi so much as a friend who could appreciate him, and he really couldn't bear to let such a simple friendship change. Looking at Liu Zhi, he hesitated to speak.
Liu Zhi happened to be in a good mood while holding the pile of paintings, and did not notice Zhong Qi's inner struggle. Before Zhong Qi could say what he wanted to say, he stood up and left, "Zhong Zhiqing, you have a good rest, I will go home first. Don’t worry, I will definitely treasure your paintings!”
Not only will it be treasured well, but it will also be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom!
Zhong Qi's mental drafts didn't come in handy. He nodded and sent Liu Zhi to the door. Looking at her cheerful back, he felt guilty for playing with other people's feelings.
Let’s make it clear to Comrade Liu Zhi next time!
Liu Zhi didn't know that Zhong Qi was also a guy with a lot of inner drama. She went home happily, wrapped a few paintings properly and stuffed them into the cabinet. When she had the chance, Liu Zhi planned to find a master to frame the paintings and treasure them!
After locking the cabinet, Liu Zhi closed her door and went out, planning to wander to the new house to check on her uncle's progress. As soon as he walked out, he almost bumped into Yuan Chengxu who was coming back from outside.
Liu Zhi stroked her sore head and scolded her angrily, "You don't have eyes when you're walking. Didn't you see someone closing the door?"
Yuan Chengxu was uncharacteristically expressionless and didn't even look at Liu Zhi. He entered the room very lowly. Liu Zhi looked back and saw him angrily smashing a hoe against the wall. The hoe bounced on the wall. After a moment, it immediately fell to the ground with a "clang" sound.
Tsk, Liu Zhi couldn't help but thought with gloating, maybe her daughter-in-law didn't run away.
Liu Zhi was really not just guessing. A few days ago, Yuan Chengxu came home happily every day. At one moment he said he wanted to buy this or that, and at the next he said he wanted to redecorate the room and change all the furniture.
Of course Yang Lan would not agree if she was so stingy, but that didn't stop Yuan Chengxu from being cheerful and even thinking about the child, "Mom, we still have to build two more houses as soon as possible, otherwise where will my child live after he is born? Money?" Don’t worry about it, I will work hard in the future.”
It’s true that the more you talk nonsense, the harder you get slapped in the face. But Liu Zhi was not interested in asking what happened to Yuan Chengxu, it was none of her business!
Liu Zhi turned around and continued to happily look at her new house.
