The second child, Jiang He, followed Jiang Shan’s paintbrush and read step by step. The more he looked, the more interesting he found it: “Are these the same world-famous paintings as the Mona Lisa?”
"That's right," Jiang Shan nodded and smiled: "Our TV station wants to make an advertisement to participate in a competition in Tokyo, Japan, and... also wants to come back with a prize."
Jiang He was shocked when he heard this: "Is this what you are going to use?"
"It's not that easy, but I want to try," Jiang Shan finally stopped painting: "Second brother, what do you think?"
"If you ask me... there is a way," Jiang He pointed at the drawing paper and said, "They are all world-famous paintings. If they change their shape after smelling cigarette smoke, it is equivalent to a useless painting."
"Yes, yes," Jiang Shan felt that the second brother's analysis was on point.
Jiang He continued: "It's the same for a human being. Once he smokes properly..."
Speaking of this, Jiang He looked at the big bag on the desk again, and suddenly felt bad: "I'd better smoke less of this cigarette in the future."
Jiang Shan: "It's done."
The next day, no one in the family was willing to wake them up, and no one knew how late the two brothers stayed up.
It wasn't until noon that Jiang's mother couldn't help but push the door open and shout: "It's time to eat."
The family ate around the square table. Jiang Shan looked at the food on the table, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried leeks with vermicelli, braised stinky tofu, and a piece of Chinese cabbage and tofu soup.
The spirit of Zen is strong.
"I heard that Lao Cao from the front yard went out to buy a TV early this morning." Jiang Ma scooped two spoons of eggs for Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Xiaobai: "He hasn't come back yet."
Jiang Shan chewed his rice and asked, "How much does a TV cost now?" He really didn't know the price.
"More than two hundred," the eldest brother Jiang Hai replied: "What, are you planning to bring one back?"
Jiang Shan has always had this idea: "It's not impossible."
Jiang Hai laughed: "Then you have to work hard. One copy of "Three Strikes of Bone Demons" is definitely not enough. You have to draw some more "The Monkey King", "Havoc in Heaven" and so on."
Jiang Shan also laughed: "There should be 60 books in this set of Journey to the West. I guess the publishing house has given them to several artists. I will ask again when the manuscripts are submitted in two days."
Jiang Hai nodded. He absolutely believed what Lao San said now: "Don't be too hard. It's not a bad thing that our family hasn't had a TV for so many years."
"That's right," Jiang's mother quickly agreed: "With that kind of money, I can't bear to buy a TV set. It's enough for our family to eat pork for two years."
"You can't say that," Jiang Shan said with a smile: "If you have the conditions, you should still buy one, such as the two World Cup football games broadcast by Yanjing TV in June."
Jiang He, who had not yet returned to the city, asked directly: "What is the World Cup?"
The boss Jiang Hai looked at him: "It's just a football competition in which many countries participate. It's called the World Cup."
"This is the first time our country has broadcast a World Cup event," Jiang Shan deliberately lowered his voice: "It is said that Song Shixiong provided commentary for the audience in a hotel in Hong Kong."
The younger sister Jiang Chuan didn't take it seriously: "Brother, I don't like watching football."
Jiang Shan stared at her and said, "Do you know what the last question in this year's college entrance examination geography paper is?"
Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment by the question: "I...how did I know?"
Jiangshan word for word: "Someone set out from Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, at the winter solstice. What season was it when he set out?"
Everyone at the table was eating and listening, not knowing what the third child wanted to say.
Jiang Shan continued: "There are a total of 5.8 million candidates this year. Many candidates have trouble reading Buenos Aires, but as long as they have watched the World Cup, they can easily answer this question. It was summer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chuan finally understood what the younger brother meant: "If you want to put it this way, this TV is really important for the college entrance examination."
Jiang Shan: "That's right, you will gain a lot."
Jiang Chuan: "No wonder my sister-in-law has been complaining that we don't have a TV at home. It really affects her study."
Why did Jiang Shan feel that the topic was off topic? He frowned and said, "This question has a total of 10 points, and my sister-in-law is only missing these 10 points?"
The boss Jiang Hai immediately answered: "It's more than that, it's too much."
"Hey," Jiang Shan said, "So, my sister-in-law's failure in the college entrance examination this year has nothing to do with whether our family has a TV or not."
Seven years ago, in order not to have to jump in the queue to go to the countryside with her parents, my sister-in-law Hu Lina quickly married the eldest son of the Jiang family after being introduced, and soon gave birth to a pair of children.
A child who grew up in the teachers and staff building of Pujiang University suddenly moved into a large courtyard in an alley.
The gap in my heart can be imagined.
Therefore, even though the Jiang family had always taken good care of her, Hu Lina didn't notice it at all.
After all, she married low, so they should treat her well.
In Hu Lina's eyes, if the times hadn't blocked the way, how would Jiang Hai have been able to marry the daughter of a university professor.
But just when she thought her life would be like that, the college entrance examination resumed.
Immediately afterwards, her parents came back.
Not only did they both resume their jobs at Pujiang Jiaotong University, they also took their younger brother to live in the faculty and staff dormitory of Pujiang Jiaotong University.
The occurrence of these things made Hu Lina even more eager to escape the fate of the courtyard.
She first decided that she must take the college entrance examination. Only a green campus with a strong academic atmosphere was the place she should stay.
College students, and then international students, every time they think about these things, the corners of Hu Lina's mouth always turn up unconsciously.
But in the blink of an eye, he was woken up by Jiang Xiaobai's call of "Mom, Mom".
Alas, Hu Lina is scolding herself every day now for why she didn't cherish herself in the first place, and she already had a child at such a young age.
If you can walk on campus without being laughed to death by other single girls.
Although there are now many adults taking their children to take the college entrance examination, and some even have two generations of a family entering the examination room at the same time.
But, she was the only one who couldn't stand this.
Seven years were wasted, and Jiang Hai, who had been protecting and tolerating her in every possible way in the first few years, was already tired and saw through it all.
"Don't say 10 points," Jiang Hai's expression was very calm at this time: "I can't save her even if I give her 100 points, but after you said that, I really want to watch this World Cup."
Jiang Shan actually wanted to see it more: "Let's wait another four years."
Yanjing TV, which has just been renamed Yangshi, urgently dispatched a six-man team to Hong Kong after receiving instructions from its top leader.
Among them, the one who serves as the commentator is Song Shixiong.
In fact, Yanshi has not been authorized by FIFA at all, but has "borrowed" the public signals of international broadcast satellites.
Then perform this rebroadcast in Hong Kong, which is the closest receiving location.
After arriving at the destination, only the last two games of the World Cup remain.
Song Shixiong went to the local Xinhua News Agency to collect a large number of sports newspapers, cut out the heads of "Kempes", "Rensenbrink" and others, and then matched the team members during the broadcast.
After the game started, pictures of the stadium were broadcast on the TV. The Argentina Monument Cup Stadium was filled with flying flowers. Everyone was shocked. In Song Shixiong's own words, "It turns out that this is the World Cup."
