Chapter 117 Buying Paintings
The road on the mountain is difficult to walk, sometimes you will fall if you are not careful, it takes a long time to clear up, and sometimes you may fall to your death if you are not careful.
So every time, I walk very carefully.After all, this kind of place is not easy to walk. After entering the mountain, I found a place where I can live. That place is not where I live now, but another place where I live. The place.
The first few months of living there were really tormenting. I am afraid that no one can truly understand that feeling.
As soon as I got here, I threw myself into the so-called creation.I seem to have forgotten all the pain I have experienced, and I am intoxicated in this world without any external interference.
Basically, I'm always in the mountains, and I don't come back once a few days. In the village here, there is a villager named Mrs. Wang. Anyway, I don't know her real name, so it's called this for the time being.
She has a daughter in her family, about 20 years old named Wang Ling?It's a teacher in the village here.After we got acquainted with each other, he told me that there were no art teachers in their school, and asked if I could work part-time to give lectures to children.
After listening to it, I was happy and smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Children can learn more about the outside world."
She nodded in agreement and said, "That's right! The children here have never been out of the mountains, nor have they seen what is outside the mountains. After all, you are from the city, so you can tell the children more things they don't know. matter."
I nodded and agreed that day.Take time out, and then came to this school with her.
If it is a school here, it is really rudimentary, because there is no money in this place, and it cannot afford to build a school for the children.
Seeing the living conditions of the children, I felt very uncomfortable. She saw me and said, "Schools in the mountains are like this, there is no way."
"Yes! But you can't suffer for the child even if you are suffering. At this time, I think of Rong Rong. I don't know how she is now."
Seeing my emotion, she patted me comfortingly and said, "Don't be sad, there will always be a way."
"I still have 6 yuan in my hand. When I am free, I will withdraw the money and build a school for my children."
When she heard me say that, she blushed and nodded.We just entered this crude classroom, and all the children in the classroom have immature cheeks.They saw me and smiled innocently.
A male teacher who was older than me said, "You are from the city! You know a lot, but I'm from here, and I don't know much. Come and have a look, you can help your children teach more."
I nodded and walked over to see that the room they lived in was the office, and there was only a dilapidated and simple desk with Chinese textbooks and math textbooks on the desk.
Seeing such a scene, I feel very uncomfortable, because what the students can learn is completely incomplete.
I looked at Teacher Lin sitting there and said, "Why are there only these two textbooks?"
"There is no electricity or traffic in the mountains here. It's not like you don't know how difficult it is to go up and down the mountain."
Looking at his appearance, I also thought of when I went up and down the mountain, sighed and said, "Let's do this! Tomorrow you and Wang Ling will go home and make arrangements to bring two donkeys out of the mountain to buy some textbooks and pencils for the children. You can also go out and buy some of my oil paintings, so that the children will not be so difficult."
Hearing what I said, Teacher Lin nodded happily, but when he was happy, he suddenly thought of something that said, "It's okay to go down the mountain to buy things, but we don't have any money? How to buy."
"Didn't I just say that? I have money, so money is not the problem. The problem is buying textbooks for the children."
Wang Ling was very happy to hear what I said, and now I said behind my back, "Uncle Lin, we should be happy."
"Okay, I'll arrange this matter tomorrow morning." He was so happy that he couldn't speak.
In fact, I don't have much savings on hand. It would be great if I brought the huge sum of money Liu Yifan gave me back then, but it's a pity that I left in a hurry and didn't bring anything.
Thinking of this, I sighed.Temporarily replacing Teacher Lin to give lectures to these twenty students.
When Mr. Lin introduced me solemnly, the children below smiled smugly, pointed at me and said, "He looks like a girl? His skin is so fair."
"Quiet, quiet, what about this one? A teacher from Beijing. Beijing is the capital of China. He will be your teacher from now on."
Those little guys all stared at me curiously and shouted "Hello, teacher."
"Hello students."
Teacher Lin and Wang Ling looked at me, so I simply wrote my name on the blackboard, turned around and introduced myself.
I looked at their textbooks, and then began to talk to them about the content of the Chinese textbooks.Actually, I am not very good at teaching Chinese, but the students below seem to be listening very seriously.
When I went back, Wang Ling looked at me and said, "Actually, the government used to send some people here to work as teachers, but those young people in the city found it too hard to bear, so they all left."
"I understand this. After all, they are different from me and often wander."
When I went back, Mrs. Wang had already prepared the food and asked me to come over to eat.
In fact, besides her, Wang Ling's family has an older brother, a younger sister, and a younger brother. She is the second child. Her brother is married and has a child, and lives in another house not far from them.
Her younger sister got married when she was 15, and her younger brother is still studying.After dinner, I told Mrs. Wang that I would go down the mountain tomorrow to buy textbooks with the children, and she was very happy.After eating, I was going back to my room to rest. Wang Ling came to chat with me looking at the stars outside.
In fact, the two of us have not known each other for a long time. When we saw her in her 20s and she was not married, I asked, "Girls in the mountains usually get married very early. Why are you still not married?"
"Actually, I was married when I was 16 years old, but my life was not good. On the day I got married, the man who married me drank too much and died at the wedding banquet."
When I heard her say that, I felt very uncomfortable, and I quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know these things."
"It's okay, it's over."
She seemed to be thinking about something, turned to look at me and said, "What about you? You are not too young, why don't you get married."
I was a little speechless by her question, and it took me a long time to say, "Can I not answer this question? In fact, this has always been my scar."
Seeing that I was in a bad mood, she nodded and said, "Okay, don't say it if you don't say it!"
We sat outside, talked about other things, and went back to sleep when we knew we were dozing off.It was not dawn the next day, so we hurriedly got up and started to prepare.
The two donkeys in Lingling's family were both leading and ready to take them down the mountain.In fact, this kind of downhill activity is very difficult, but it is worth it for the children.
Teacher Lin also brought two donkeys, and when we were halfway down the mountain, the weather started to rain.The rain is getting heavier and heavier, we can only find a place to shelter from the rain.
This kind of weather on the mountain is normal, sometimes it rains and the sun shines on the mountain.This road is very narrow and long, and it is very strenuous to walk.
We walked and listened, and walked for nearly two days before we walked out of this mountain and came to a nearby town, where we bought all kinds of things.
We found a stationery store in this town. Although the books here are not complete, they are enough for the children in the mountains.
I went to the store and bought all the student things I could buy. In addition to these, I took Lingling to a place that sold clothes and bought her a floral skirt.Girls love beauty after all.
"Why are you spending so much money, this skirt costs more than 50? Let's save it for the children to buy various supplies!"
I ignored him and asked the waiter to wrap up the skirt. The waiter looked at Lingling with a smile and said, "Your husband is so kind. My husband is not willing to buy these things for me."
When I heard this, it was obvious that they had misunderstood, so I hurriedly said, "I... and this girl are not in a husband and wife relationship, don't talk nonsense, she will be unhappy."
"I see. So you are dating. It doesn't matter. Anyway, will she be your woman in the future?"
I was anxious when I heard this, Teacher Lin patted me proudly, and said emphatically, "I think this combination is good."
"Not bad, what? Don't talk nonsense."
I was a little annoyed and paid the money.When I came out, I saw Lingling didn't seem very happy, so I found them a place to stay, and then said to them, "You two stay here for a day or two, I have to go to the city by car to buy the oil painting I painted. , After buying it, we are buying some other things to go back."
At this time Lingling got up suddenly, looked at me and said, "I have never been to a big city, can you take me to see it together?"
Looking at her longing look, I could only agree and nodded, and took the oil painting I drew, and got on the bus to and from the city.
After a day and a night of driving, we arrived at the most prosperous city here. Lingling was in the village for the first time, and she was very curious about everything she saw.
I went to the guy who had had enough of my paintings the first few times, and followed him to a restaurant to talk about painting.
In fact, the whole process went smoothly. He originally wanted to give me 20 yuan for this oil painting.Later, I asked for an extra [-] yuan, and he said that he could accept my painting.
In addition to buying this, I also bought two small oil paintings, one for 16 and the other for 12.
For the 30 yuan, he gave me a check, and the other two were in cash.Lingling, who followed, had never seen so much money. After they left, she looked at me and said triumphantly, "I have never seen so much money since I was a child."
"It's all small money. The real big money is nothing compared to these. Let's go back quickly! By the way, I used some things in oil paintings."
When we left, we were very happy. In addition to buying clothes for Lingling, I also bought a new laptop computer. Besides these, I also bought some electronic products that I could buy and carry.
There are also some textbooks that cannot be bought in towns, and they are also bought.In addition to these, I also bought some food in the city for the children.
When I went back, there were really big bags and small bags, and the 30 yuan was actually a huge sum of money for the people in the mountains.It's nothing to me.
When Mr. Lin saw us coming back, he brought big bags and small bags. Not only that, but also took more than 30 yuan in cash, and he was hardly scared.
