MTL - 70s: Raising a Baby-Chapter 204
Chapter 204
With this phone call from Young Master Yuan, the atmosphere at home was finally not as heavy as it was a few days ago, and Ye Jinzhi also showed a long-lost smile.
Yuan Shaochen may also know the situation at home. During that time, he would make a phone call every night to come back. Although it was only a short five minutes, he was very satisfied.
Ye Jinzhi's mood was also relieved a lot. She knew that Young Master Yuan must have heard her voice and noticed something when he called back every day.
She knew that they were very tired from training, and the time was getting closer. She should persuade him not to call back, but she was still selfish and hoped to hear his voice every day.
Yuan Shaochen also knew what they were worried about. Every day he called back, he would report what he did today, and choose what he could say as much as possible to reassure Ye Jinzhi and the others.
A few children are also very sensible every time, knowing that their parents have something to say, every time they say hello to Yuan Shaochen and chat a few words, they hand over the phone to Ye Jinzhi, and they leave consciously.
"You have to keep warm so you don't catch a cold, eat on time so you don't get stomach problems, and don't drink alcohol when you go out to socialize." Yuan Shaochen rambled.
Ye Jinzhi didn't make a sound. Hearing his voice ringing in her ears, she would feel very at ease, as if he was still by her side.
"You should also pay attention to safety, don't let yourself hurt, do you still have the medicine I gave you?"
This was given to him by Ye Jinzhi before the young minister Yuan left. It worked well but the number was very small.
Before leaving, Ye Jinzhi told him: "You must take good care of this medicine." Many of them didn't say anything.
Husband and wife have been very tacit understanding of each other for so long, and each other can know what she means with just one look.
Yuan Shaochen also kept it on his body, he wouldn't use it when he was in a hurry.
"Don't worry, I've been carrying it with me all the time and haven't used it yet."
Ye Jinzhi didn't know if he should be glad after hearing this, but it didn't mean that he was not seriously injured.
"We miss you very much." Ye Jinzhi always brings this sentence before ending the call.
"Dong dong."
"Please come in." Ye Jinzhi continued to look at the document in his hand without raising his head.
Everyone found that Mr. Ye's mood has improved a lot recently. He doesn't keep his face as straight as before, and his mood is obviously much better.
"Mr. Ye, an association that you donated to is going to hold an art exhibition recently, so they sent some tickets."
"Painting Exhibition?" Ye Jinzhi stopped writing, thinking that it was like this.
When she went out to eat before, she was recognized by people from that association. Ye Jinzhi still remembered that she was taking a few children to play at that time, and she didn't want to agree.
But when Ah Hao and the other children heard about the association, their eyes lit up. The children were still young at that time, and it was the first time they heard of this thing.
Ye Jinzhi saw that they were interested, so he said to the man, "If you want to invest, go to my company. I will tell them when the time comes, and I will send someone to talk to you."
This was a few years ago, and she almost forgot about it. She was looking at the children at the time. Although she knew that something like the association could not be profitable, she thought it would be a good thing. time did not pay attention.
"Show me the income we have invested in that association over the past few years."
The person who came here seemed to be ready for a long time, and Ye Jin showed her the document in his hand when he asked.
This made Ye Jinzhi take a closer look at him, but she hadn't spoken yet, and the man seemed to see her doubts.
"Assistant Wang reminded me that you might ask to see it, let me prepare it first."
Ye Jinzhi didn't react, and nodded.
As expected, there has been almost no profit in the past few years, and they have been subsidizing money.
"Understood, put the tickets here first."
She went back and asked a few children to see if they were interested. If they were interested, it would be a good idea to take them to see it, just to relax.
Ye Jinzhi also noticed that there are still a lot of tickets, there are ten tickets, it seems to be quite clear.
"Do you want to go and see?"
In the evening, Ye Jinzhi almost forgot about this, and only remembered when he saw the tickets when he was looking through the bag.
"Are there paintings inside?" Ah Hao asked curiously.
Ye Jinzhi nodded, "It's all paintings, if you're interested, go take a look."
Speaking of which, Ye Jinzhi was a little ashamed. They had been learning to draw for so long, and she hadn't taken them to see other people's paintings. This was a fatal point for those who learned to paint.
Not only do you need to be able to draw by yourself, but you also need to look at other people's paintings so that you can learn more. Otherwise, you can only see your own paintings. It may be nothing in a short time, but after a long time, you may not make any further progress and will keep standing still. .
"It was the uncle we met before, did they do it?" Axu has a good memory, and he remembered it all at once.
"Yes, how is it, have you considered it?"
Compared with the entanglements of the other children, Ah Hao was very excited and nodded without hesitation, "Mom, I'm going, I want to see it."
Ye Jinzhi saw the heartbeat in the eyes of the other children, and without waiting for their answers, he said bluntly: "Then let's go together."
"Oh yeah!" Ah Hao clapped his hands happily.
Ye Jinzhi also wanted to take this opportunity to take them out to see more. No matter how much they learned and how much Ye Jinzhi taught, it would be useless to go out and see more.
And I’m really interested, I can also participate in some competitions, as a life supplement, I can also make more friends, and they will be helpful in the future.
In fact, compared with other children, Ye Jinzhi's children are well protected. Ye Jinzhi did not take them out for a walk, and only a few people had seen them. The outside world only knew that there were many children in her family, but what did they look like? Almost no one knows.
And under the same background, many children are brought by their parents since childhood, learning to deal with people, learn to communicate with people, and talk.
"Miss." Several people knocked on the door.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jinzhi looked at them with a bitter face.
"There are a lot of equipment that can't be bought, it is said that there is no domestic."
Their security company has finally finished all the decorations, and the equipment is missing. Recently, they have been running around with equipment.
"No?" Ye Jinzhi wondered.
"No, it is said that these things are imported from abroad, but not in China."
Ye Jinzhi frowned, that would be troublesome, but she didn't say anything.
"I'll find a way. Some of them will be installed first, and if there's anything missing, give me a list."
"it is good."
"That's right," Ye Jinzhi just remembered how many tickets they had when he saw them, "I have four tickets for the exhibition here, who would you like to go?"
Ye Jinzhi took out four tickets and let them share it by themselves. She must not be relieved to bring five children by herself, and it would be easier to have them follow.
The third child took the ticket and looked at it carefully, "Miss, this is for a painting."
Ye Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, what else would he do.
"I won't go, I can't understand that stuff, and the people who go there must be cultural people, so I won't go."
The third child is very self-aware. He didn’t like to read when he was a child. Several older brothers or younger brothers were better than him, and he got a big head when he saw these things.
"You decide for yourself." Seeing him so tangled.
The day I saw the art exhibition happened to be Saturday, and the children were very excited the night before, especially Ah Hao, who hadn’t been out for a long time.
When he got into the car, Ye Jinzhi was still thinking about how long it had been since he went to the art exhibition and listened to the musical.
"Don't yell or run around when you go inside, there are a lot of people inside."
Because several children were going to see the exhibition, Ye Jinzhi went to find out the number of people who went to the exhibition this time, and found that there were still many people.
Most of those who received invitations will go, but Ye Jinzhi also understands that this art exhibition is the first art exhibition held in such a long time.
It took more than a year to prepare, and many painters who were sent down in the past came back to participate this time, and this time is probably the most gathered one. It will be rare for so many people to gather together in the future.
According to Ye Jinzhi's understanding, many painters were beaten down in those years, and some of them decided to close the mountain because of the cold heart of the past.
Ye Jinzhi is actually looking forward to it. She used to have several painters she liked very much. Many of them died or stopped painting in their era. It is very possible to see them this time, and I am very excited.
"If mom has a painting we like, can we buy it and take it home?" Hao asked suddenly.
Ye Jinzhi looked at his expectant eyes, "It depends on whether the painter sells it or not."
Generally, art exhibitions are not only to show everyone their works, but also to help some newcomers to gain popularity and to promote their younger generations.
There are also some tricky painters. They sell paintings based on their eyesight. If they are like his eyes, they may send them directly to you, but if they are not willing, even if you pay more money, they will not sell them.
However, there are some galleries that specialize in collecting and selling paintings. They earn handling fees, and generally do not open for a year.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye is here." When Ye Jinyi got out of the car, someone greeted him, flatteringly.
Ye Jinzhi is not surprised, but the children are a little dumbfounded. They rarely see the scene of Ye Jinzhi's work.
Ye Jinzhi also doesn't want them to see it. He doesn't want them to face the world of adults too early. The world of adults is very hypocritical.
These artists are not all lofty, some artists are also very flattering, and even because they are literate, flattering words come out in a series.
However, some high-minded artists would rather live in poverty than bend over to please others, they feel that this is an insult to their identities.
But Ye Jinzhi has no opinion on these people, each has his own unique way of life, and they are all independent individuals.
In this life of people, some people will give everything to pursue their dreams, while some people will struggle for money all their lives.
"President Xie." Before Ye Jinzhi came, he asked people to find their photos to recognize them, for fear of recognizing the wrong person.
"These are all young masters, please come in, come in quickly."
Ye Jinzhi is not used to seeing people following the exhibition, she prefers to watch it by herself.
"Go and do your work first, we'll see for ourselves." Ye Jinzhi asked the people who followed her to go back.
"Mom." The scene just now made several children not react at once, and even Ah Zhao was a little surprised.
Ye Jinzhi pretended not to see their doubts, "Let's go, let's look at it one by one."
They came early. At this time, people have not yet arrived, so there will be no crowded situation, and you can stroll around at will.
Ye Jinzhi's goal with a few children is still very big. Many people saw her as soon as they came in, and their eyes kept following them.
These people are all drunk and not drinking. Ye Jinzhi is used to it, but she took the children out to play today and didn't want to talk about work. Anyone who wanted to get close was blocked by the fourth child.
Several children watched carefully and stopped for a while before each painting.
When Ye Jinzhi sees something interesting, he will ask their opinion softly and listen to their understanding.
In many cases, drawing and looking at painting are two completely different directions. Learning to look at painting is of great help to your painting skills.
"Mom, this painting—" Ah Hao stopped in front of a painting.
"He is very sad." Hao thought for a long time, not knowing what words to use to describe it.
"Sad, why?" Ye Jinzhi was a little surprised. The people in this painting were clearly smiling, and the colors were bold. Ye Jinzhi didn't expect him to say that.
"I wanted to cry a little bit when I saw it, I felt out of breath." Ah Hao described.
Ye Jinzhi was both proud and surprised. He was so young that he could see the deep meaning of this painting, which showed that he was very talented.
The fourth child noticed that there was an old man behind them, and he followed them not far or near. He often nodded when he heard the words of several children, which was strange.
If it wasn't for seeing that he didn't move, I would have driven him away.
Ye Jinzhi touched Ah Hao's head and said softly, "The author of this painting was painting this painting" and told the story behind the painting.
She had seen these paintings for a long time, and people from the association sent a picture album when they knew she was coming, all of which were works in this exhibition.
This painting was a bright spot for her when she saw it, but unfortunately the author of this painting has passed away.
"Do you like it?" Ye Jinzhi watched him for so long.
Ah Hao nodded embarrassedly, "I like it, can you?"
"Let's go ask." Ask if the painting is willing to sell.
Just when Ye Jinzhi was about to find someone, he saw a staff member walking towards them, and just as he was about to speak, he listened to the person.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Zhou said that this painting is a gift to you, and we will deliver it in person after the exhibition is over."
Ye Jinzhi was a little strange, how did Zhou Lao know that they wanted to buy this painting.
But before she could ask, the fourth child walked up to her and told her about the strange old man he had just seen.
No wonder, Ye Jinzhi was thoughtful, he should have heard Ah Hao's words.
"Help me thank Elder Zhou for the opportunity to visit." Ye Jinzhi didn't refuse. Although she was not in this circle, she knew a little bit about Elder Zhou's person. This Elder Zhou was very cherished for talents.
When they finished reading all the paintings in the exhibition, it had been a few hours, and there were more and more people in the exhibition, which was a stark contrast to when they first came.
After watching the exhibition, they didn't stay too long, and left while she was chaotic. She was afraid that she would be entangled by someone later, and she would not be able to leave at that time.
