"It's okay. I'm feeling much better now that I can get out of bed."
Fang Xiaoyue couldn't help but comfort her sister.
No way, he felt that Fang Xueqing regarded him as a ceramic doll, the kind that would break when touched, which made Fang Xiaoyue, who had been in many planes, feel a little embarrassed.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
As an older sister, Fang Xueqing knew this younger brother very well. As soon as she saw his actions, she knew that she probably needed help for something.
"It's nothing big, just can you lend me 1,200 yuan?"
Fang Xiaoyue did a quick calculation in her mind. If she bought it online, the Mozhu Brand Study Four Treasures Paint Set with 1215 colors of paint including 12 brushes, a drawing board, four pieces of raw rice paper, etc. would cost 1,000 yuan. If she bought some more rice paper, she would not have to buy it.
It’s 1,200 yuan.
"1,200 yuan? Brother, tell me honestly, what do you want to do?"
When she heard the amount of 1,200 yuan, Fang Xueqing, who had never cared about money in the past, almost jumped up from the sofa. There was a bit of anger on her beautiful face, which made Fang Xiaoyue feel like a sinner.
"It's okay if I don't give you 400."
Fang Xiaoyue quickly lowered the price. I remembered that there is also a 36-color paint set online, which comes with 4 brushes for 250 yuan. You can also buy a stack of rice paper and a drawing board.
"If you don't tell me what you want the money for, I won't give it to you."
Looking at Fang Xiaoyue's appearance, Fang Xueqing felt more and more that something was wrong.
"At least 200! If it's any less, there's nothing we can do."
Fang Xiaoyue's mind quickly turned around. She bought a 12-color paint set and bought a drawing board. As for handmade rice paper, forget about it. It's too expensive. Let's replace it with mechanically produced antique rice paper.
Of course, he has a way to save more money, which is to buy a bottle of ink, a paintbrush, a drawing board, and a stack of paper, which can cost up to one hundred yuan.
But if you just paint ink paintings, it may be difficult to attract enough fans.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't notice the anger on Fang Xueqing's face, but was immersed in her own thoughts.
"Mom! Xue Feng is going to do bad things!"
Seeing that Fang Xiaoyue's words couldn't be answered, Fang Xueqing became furious and immediately used the magic of summoning my mother.
My mother, Zhou Xinhua, ran out of the kitchen immediately.
Seeing that her mother had also arrived, Fang Xiaoyue could only hesitate to express her thoughts.
Live streaming? Drawing?
Well, my mom doesn’t know anything about new things like live streaming.
On the contrary, Fang Xueqing knew more about this aspect. Of course, she worked in an advertising agency and was exhausted every day. She only saw this kind of information occasionally on the Internet, so it was impossible to say that she really knew anything about it.
But fortunately, both my mother and sister expressed their support when they knew that Fang Xiaoyue did not want to do anything bad and asked for money.
Even though the family's finances are extremely tight now, elder sister Fang Xueqing still took out a thousand yuan from her wallet.
However, Fang Xiaoyue was really embarrassed to ask for too much money, so she only charged two hundred yuan and asked her sister to transfer the money to herself. She planned to buy a set of paints, brushes and other things online according to her previous plan. As for the drawing paper, she would use cheap antique rice paper first.
Well, the size of this thing is 100*180CM, 50 pieces are only 30 yuan, and 50 pieces each of raw, Xuan, and cooked are only 60 yuan.
If you change to handmade rice paper, 50 sheets will cost at least 140-150 yuan.
This live broadcast has just started. If we use good paper, the conditions at home are really unbearable.
Before her father could pick up her sister, Fang Xiaoyue went back to the house first, placed an order online, and bought all the paints, brushes, drawing boards, and paper one by one.
The e-commerce economy in this dimension is already very developed.
The order placed that night was shipped the next afternoon, and the next day, in the morning, the courier delivered a package to your home.
It happened to be Saturday. My mother, Zhou Xinhua, went to the vegetable market to buy groceries. My sister, Fang Xueqing, went to the company to work overtime. My father had already found a job as a security guard in a certain community and went to work.
My sister Fang Xuemei, who only had half a day off last week, had a rare full day off from school today.
Seeing her brother coming in with a package, she came over curiously: "Brother, what did you buy?"
"Paint, drawing board, paper."
As Fang Xiaoyue spoke, she took out the scissors, opened the package, took out the items one by one, and compared them with the order.
A set of 12 colors of paint, a drawing board, four brushes of different thicknesses, and two stacks of rice paper.
Well, the merchant also gave away eight plastic paint dishes and a bottle of 500CC ink, which is quite conscientious.
Although it is best to use an inkstone to blend the paint in Chinese painting, they gave the paint plate for free, and Fang Xiaoyue was happy to accept it. After all, he didn't have much money to buy those inkstones now.
Carrying the drawing board and paper, Fang Xiaoyue returned to her bedroom. Fang Xuemei also helped and followed in carrying the box of 12 colors of paint.
She had heard from her mother before that her brother wanted to make money by live-streaming painting, and now she saw that her brother had purchased a bunch of painting things online, which really made her a little curious.
Fang Xiaoyue was not in a hurry to start the live broadcast. She first poured some ink in a plastic paint tray, and then asked Fang Xuemei to get a bunch of high school test papers that had been scrapped.
He spread the high school test paper on the drawing board. Fang Xuemei also understood that the brother was preparing to draw, and asked curiously: "Brother, you bought drawing paper, why don't you use drawing paper to draw?"
"Silly girl! Good paper should be used wisely. I'll practice drawing first. If I don't draw well, this paper won't be wasted."
Fang Xiaoyue chuckled, and what she said almost made this girl Fang Xuemei explode.
Silly girl? What kind of bad name is this!!
Damn bad brother!
Fang Xuemei pouted her pink little face angrily, staring at Fang Xiaoyue, thinking in her mind how she would mock her brother if he failed to draw well, but not to hurt his heart too much.
My mother said that after my brother graduated from college, it was rare for him to do something so seriously, so his enthusiasm should not be dampened too much.
Well, if Fang Xiaoyue knew that her mother would look at him like this, she would probably drag out Fang Xuefeng's missing soul and beat her up.
This Dandy Fang really makes his family have no confidence. This shows that the impression that Fang's academic style gives people is not very reliable.
Thinking about it, Fang Xuefeng was fine before he went to college. Although he used his pocket money to make money in school when he had nothing to do, at least he didn't do anything too stupid.
But after going to college, it didn't take long for him to be entangled by the clever Mi Xiaoqin, and then he fell into the abyss of love and turned into a barking licking dog.
The most terrible thing is that he is really disappointing in terms of study. Among the few remaining seedlings in the paleontology major, he is the only student who did not ask his tutor to take the initiative to study for a master's degree.
This shows how disappointed the instructors are with this guy and don't want to save him at all.
