She knew very well that this was just the beginning. She would have to find a job tomorrow. After all, painting people's portraits was a matter of fortune. In bad weather such as violent storms or heavy snow blocking roads, she would not have any stable income.

When I got home, it was past ten forty, and my mother, Cheng Qin, had not fallen asleep yet. She was waiting for her to come home with a dim lamp.
"Lili, why do you come home later and later every day? It's almost eleven o'clock, and you have to go to work in an advertising agency early tomorrow morning. How can your body and body bear this hard work?"
Cheng Liuli sneezed, "I chatted with the parents for a while after class today, and I came back late without realizing it. Mom, I..."
Cheng Qin had already walked forward anxiously, stroking Liuli's forehead with her hand, and looked at her carefully, "Why are you sneezing? Do you have a cold?"
"No," Liuli chuckled, "As you know, I have allergic rhinitis. I will sneeze if I get a little wind. It's not a problem!"
"Is it really okay?"
"It's really okay! Mom, don't make a fuss and go get some rest. The doctor said you're not allowed to stay up late, but you're so disobedient..." He half-pushed and half-leaned his mother into the bedroom and closed the door.
.
He entered his room, opened a small drawer, took out the cold medicine inside, and took a big handful at once.
She has some signs of a cold, but now, she is not qualified to be sick and must get well as soon as possible.
These medicines were prescribed by the doctor to my mother when she was hospitalized last time. She said that she must be careful to prevent colds because of her illness. It doesn't matter if she is sick, but it would be terrible if she infects her.
After taking the medicine, she seemed to think of something, and knocked on her mother's door again, "Mom, you are not allowed to get up early tomorrow morning. I have told you many times that the company has a free welfare breakfast, which is nutritious and rich...
．．Don’t get up early!”
Cheng Qin sighed leisurely, "You kid, how can the company's breakfast be as delicious as mom's homemade breakfast?"
"But if you want to sleep in a little longer, wouldn't it save you a quarter of an hour of sleeping time by having breakfast after signing in at the company?" Cheng Liuli's expression was strange.
Cheng Qin nodded her forehead, "I'll just listen to you, lazy girl!"
"Good night, Mom, you are getting more and more beautiful!" Liuli's eyes were bright as he came up to kiss his mother. Cheng Qin smiled and touched the cheek she kissed with her hand, "Little girl, your mouth looks like it's been covered with honey!"
"
Mother and daughter went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, before it was dark, Cheng Liuli had already quietly left home.
Today is already Friday. From the moment she learned about her mother's true condition, she decided that even if she worked exhaustingly every week, she must stay at home with her mother on the weekends and not work overtime or go out.
The mother's time was running out, and she tried her best to maintain her life, but it was not just about keeping her alive. She wanted her to feel the happiness of her family and the warmth of family affection, not just to stay alive.
Therefore, we must earn more money today to sustain our expenses for the next two days.
When we arrived at the Green Square, it was already dark, and groups of old people walking and couples hugging and kissing on the benches in the square were already all over the square.
Cheng Liuli's mood immediately improved. He propped up the easel in his arms at its usual fixed position and began to look for targets.
