Following Xu Hang into the courtyard, Fang Yi turned his head and looked around. This was also the first time Fang Yi saw the courtyard. The green bricks and gray tiles were very beautiful, and the whole courtyard was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
When he walked into the courtyard, Xu Nang said to a girl in her early twenties who had just left the house: "Xiaolan, is my dad awake?".
"Fourth uncle! Grandpa has woken up and is reading in the study room," the girl named Xiaolan said to Xu Hang.
After hearing this, Xu Hang waved to Fang Yi, lifted the curtain on the door and led Fang Yi into the house, then turned to explain to Fang Yi: "Xiao Lan is a nanny from her hometown, and she can be considered a junior.
She usually takes care of my dad’s daily life!”.
Fang Yi nodded after hearing this.
Before he could reply, he heard an old but loud voice coming from the room: "Is Xiaohang back? Did Fang Yi receive it?".
"Dad! Junior Brother Fang is coming with me," Xu Hang shouted back.
Then a door next to the hall opened, and an old man with a slightly stout figure but a rosy face, full of white hair, and a long white beard on his chin came out.
This was his senior uncle or uncle. Fang Yi quickly bowed to the old man and said, "Hello, Teacher Xu!".
"Well! Sit down quickly!" Xu Shize looked at Fang Yi and immediately laughed happily, and called Fang Yi to sit down next to the chair.
"Is my junior brother in good health? Is he still so angry when he curses? I heard that he teaches students now, and I don't know what kind of torture those students will suffer!".
Fang Yi had just sat down when he heard Xu Shize's words. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and then said: "Teacher's health is not bad! The requirements for the students are a little strict, but they are still progressing very quickly!
”.
After hearing this, Xu Shize looked at Fang Yi again, laughed and said, "A teacher who knows how to protect himself! Very good!".
"Dad! Teacher Liu also brought you a gift. Do you want to take a look now? I asked for a painting for you, and also brought a piece of Junior Brother Fang's work for you to comment on. In addition, Junior Brother Fang also gave you a box of birthday peaches,
From Sanfangzhai in Shicheng!" Xu Hang said to his father.
Xu Shize waved his hand and said, "We'll look at these things later!" Then he asked Fang Yi, mainly about Liu Hongshuo.
After answering Xu Shize's questions carefully, Fang Yi felt that the relationship between the two teacher brothers was very deep. Although they were just having childish tantrums, they could still feel the emotion in their words. And Liu Hongshuo
Because it was Xu Shize's birthday, he went to ask for a painting as a congratulatory gift.
After chatting with Teacher Xu Shize for more than half an hour, Xu Hang sent Fang Yi to stay in a hotel not far away.
Xu Hang returned home. He saw that his father was looking at a Chinese painting sent by Liu Hongshuo with Mr. Lu Beitang who lived next to his home. The painting on it was a vigorous peach tree with several bright red stars hanging on it.
The big peach means very auspicious and festive.
Lu Beitang looked at the painting and said to his old friend Xu Shize: "I don't know what the fuss between you two old guys is about. Why don't we just give in and end it? You are thinking about it in your heart, but you are not forgiving on your lips.
people!".
"I'm senior brother! If the little guy had a nicer tone, why would I be so angry?" Xu Shize glanced at Lu Beitang and said.
Hearing his father's words, Xu Hang was so stunned that he didn't laugh out loud. Looking at Fang Yi's paintings placed nearby, he couldn't help but stand aside and start reading.
After a while, Xu Shi looked at Xu Hang and asked: "What do you think of Fang Yi's painting? Tell me what you think."
"Quite good!" Xu Hang opened his mouth and said after hearing this: "No wonder Senior Brother Da Qi praises me so much! Looking at this painting, you can see how deep the relationship between Teacher Liu and Master Fang Yi is."
In the picture, Liu Hongshuo is standing in front of the easel, holding Fang Yi's shoulder with one hand and pointing to the canvas in front of Fang Yi with the other hand. His mouth is slightly open, and he seems to be talking to his disciples with a smile. His eyebrows are slightly raised.
Picking it up, his face was filled with a kind of kindness that was beyond words.
Fang Yi did not show his face in the picture. He was just a back figure, and it looked like he was sitting on a stool. Liu Hongshuo's figure was very steady, standing upright. Liu Hongshuo was holding the hand on Fang Yi's shoulder with one finger.
Stained with a little vermilion paint, the gray shirt worn by Fang Yi
It is very conspicuous against the background, and people can't help but focus on this hand when they see it. The skin of the elderly is not as smooth and moist as that of the young, but there are more seemingly dry hands.
The vicissitudes of time are very realistically portrayed by Fang Yi.
What is painted on the easel on the canvas is a very realistic frontal portrait of Liu Hongshuo. The old man's sharp eyes, proud and stubborn expression are vividly displayed on the painting. There is a great contrast between Liu Hongshuo's character inside and outside the painting. One is as a
Liu Hongshuo is an artist, and Liu Hongshuo is Fang Yi’s teacher.
Fang Yi's back is facing the canvas, but on a small square mirror placed in the corner of the painting, Fang Yi's smiling face is lightly reflected. Although it is small and blurry, it can still be seen.
The feeling for the teacher above the smiling face.
After hearing what Xu Hang said, Lu Beitang said: "Liu Hongshuo has accepted a good student!".
"Fang Yi was robbed by him halfway. If this kid gets admitted to Central America, he will be my student." Xu Shize said: "A blind cat meets a dead mouse!".
Lu Beitang directly ignored Xu Shize's words: "Maybe within a few years, this level will be better than the previous one!".
After hearing this, Xu Hang said: "I heard that my junior brother hasn't signed a gallery contract yet! I'll talk to Fang Yi in the next few days and sign him to my gallery!" Xu Hang is not good at painting, but now he opens one in the capital.
A gallery is doing quite well with the help of my father and uncles.
Xu Shize glanced at his son and said, "Are you able to get along now?".
This sounded like a compliment, but the tone was not so pleasant. Xu Hang couldn't help but smile awkwardly after hearing this.
"Do your uncle's students need you to consider them?" Xu Shize said again.
Lu Beitang changed the subject of his old friend and watched others scold his son. The old man did not have such a hobby: "According to Liu Hongshuo's temperament, he will definitely be sent abroad. You will think about this when you come back!".
Xu Shize glanced at Fang Yi's words and said directly to his son: "Call me your uncle's number. I have something to tell him!".
After hearing this, Xu Hang immediately turned around and walked to the nearby telephone, dialed the number, chatted for a few words, and handed the phone to his father.
"Hey! I'm talking about Junior Brother Liu! What are you Senior Brother! I saw Fang Yi's painting, this kid's painting is pretty good! You old man can retire soon! Don't even think about letting your child take this painting back.
, just leave me here! I look at your old face every day, and when I get angry, I might live two more years and die after you!" Xu Shize said to Liu Hongshuo on the other side.
He paused for two or three seconds and then said with a happy face: "I know it was Fang Yi who gave it to you! What if I didn't keep the child's gift? Are you awesome? Can you come over and bite me over the phone?" After saying this, his face
With a proud look on his face, like a child who has snatched a lollipop from his friend, he said a few more words before hanging up the phone.
"You're just going to keep this painting?" Lu Beitang asked.
Xu Shize laughed proudly: "He thought I didn't know that he wanted to show off? I let him show off in front of me! I made him beat the dog with meat buns and never come back!" The old man was so proud that he came here to show off.
, he said this indiscriminately, and he never thought that the picture turned into a meat bun, and he actually became the dog that was beaten by the meat bun.
Xu Hang had heard it, but how could he mention this to his father? If he was a dog, who would he be? He was so confused that he couldn't listen anymore. He turned around and said something to Lu Beitang, and then walked to the door and picked up the
The curtain walked out of the living room.
Lu Beitang didn't care, he just smiled and said, "You're such a bitch about feelings!".
"This metaphor is not good!" Xu Shize then turned his head and hurriedly waved his hands and said repeatedly.
Xu Shize here used it incorrectly, and Liu Hongshuo, who put down the phone over there, was jumping on his feet and saying loudly: Meat buns beat dogs, and people are not kind to others.
Li Minghua held the kitten in his hand and looked at his wife walking around and said, "You went to show off and you didn't think about it? Forget it, let Fang Yi draw one when he has time! Are you coming back?
!".
"Hey! Why is this old guy still as energetic as he was back then, always picking up the meat in my bowl and eating it!" Liu Hongshuo said with a sigh.
Fang Yi didn't know that the painting he had just given to the teacher had been hacked by his uncle or uncle. Even if he knew about Fang Yi, there was nothing he could do to stop him. He couldn't interfere with the matter of the teacher's generation. Just like what Yan Daqi said
That way: just let the teachers and brothers mess around as they please, and we juniors can just listen.
I attended Xu Shize's birthday party the next day. Although it was not a birthday party, there were many people who came. Many of Xu Shize's friends in the capital were there. Not only these friends, but also Xu Shize's disciples and grandchildren, as long as they were
Everyone who could have arrived arrived, and those who were too far away each sent small gifts. This banquet was really lively.
Fang Yi was obsessed with the entire banquet. Either this one is good or that one is good. Of course, he also saw all the real brothers at the banquet! But Fang Yi could only chat with Yan Daqi and Xu Hang.
, some of the seniors are over forty, and there is one who looks to be about the same age as his father, almost fifty. There really is nothing in common.
As for the younger generation, it’s hard to get close to Fang Yi when they see him. They all look to be three or four years older than Fang Yi, but when they stand in front of Fang Yi, they suddenly look a generation younger! Yes!
Not only was it awkward for others to call a twenty-year-old who had just arrived, Uncle Master, but Fang Yi also felt a little unnatural.
After the whole banquet was over, Xu Hang heard that this was Fang Yi's first visit to the capital. In the next two or three days, he and Yan Daqi took Fang Yi to experience several scenic spots in the capital, including climbing the Great Wall and so on.
After staying for almost five days, Fang Yi took his leave and returned to Shicheng. (To be continued...)
