    ?

    Yi Jingchen sat down beside Yan Xi again, and asked, "Do you still want to enter the Academy of Fine Arts?"

    "No." Yan Xi refused to admit it, but he became vigilant in his heart.  Because it was discovered that Yi Jingchen could see the secret in her heart.

    "I have an idea, you can go to the Academy of Fine Arts." Yi Jingchen suddenly became excited, "I will pay your tuition."

    Yan Xi's whole heart trembled, she looked at the boy in front of her, he was so innocent and cute.

    "You pay my tuition, do you have that much money?"

    Yi Jingchen said: "When the Shanghai order is completed, my brother-in-law and I can get a lot of commission. Regardless of your tuition fees for one year, it must be enough."

    "Your brother-in-law promised to give you a commission?"

    "I didn't say it. But after all, this is a list I ran down with him, and I will always give me some." He has a plan in mind.

    It's not easy for Yan Xi to hurt him seeing him like this, not to mention that it's his brother-in-law, and if she talks too much, it's a little bit of a discord.

    "In what name should I accept this gift from you?"

    Yi Jingchen wanted to make a joke, aren't you my girlfriend?  But I'm afraid that if I say this, Yan Xi will misunderstand that he is taking advantage of the fire, and that will be bad.

    "Forget me to borrow it from you, and pay it back to me after you graduate."

    "You think I'll be able to pay back the money after I graduate?" Yan Xi sighed, "I compromised not only because of tuition fees, but also because I'm not sure about the future. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, I will definitely be able to become a painter  Is it? And what I like is painting itself, not the identity of a painter. Maybe I really plunge into this profession, and if I want to make a living from it, I won¡¯t like it.¡±

    "I understand what you mean. You want to separate your life from your ideals. But I still think you shouldn't just give up. It's true that you won't necessarily become a painter after entering the Academy of Fine Arts, but after all, you will know people related to it there.  There are many people in this circle, and you have more opportunities if you step into this circle." He described the future to her, "Think about it, if one day you can open your own art exhibition and display your works  Hanging in the gallery, each painting is stamped with your seal¡ª¡ªYanxi, and the black pen on the bottom is written in a certain year and month; those who look at the painting stop in front of your painting, thinking about when you painted this painting  What kind of state of mind; there are also people who are learning your brushwork and color matching in their hearts, and are amazed at your skills. Think about it, how amazing it is!"

    Yan Xi fantasizes about such a future, with a smile slowly filling his face, this is indeed a desirable future.  She thinks those students who have dreams of painting have fantasized about such a future at first, right?  But in the end, how many people have realized it?  There is always a gap between ideal and reality.

    Thinking of this, my mood darkened again.

    But Yi Jingchen refused to give up: "How about it, let's go to the Academy of Fine Arts!"

    Yan Xi said: "It's too late."

    "Why?"

    "The admissions exam has passed long ago."

    "What about other schools?"

    "Such art colleges recruit students in advance."

    Yi Jingchen is more heartbroken than Yan Xi, and he hopes that Yan Xi can live a different life from him.  She should be different from them.  In this small town, everyone lives in a daze, for three meals a day.  But Yan Xi was thinking, he could see that she wanted to live a different life.

    "There must be other ways." He told Yan Xi, "Don't give up, I will help you find out next time I go to Shanghai."

    "I don't want to go to the Academy of Fine Arts anymore."

    "Why? Do you want to live like me, running around every day, and not knowing why you have to work so hard, just to live well?"

    Yan Xi said: "It is a great thing to be able to live well."

    When Yan Xi returned home, Yan Heping was killing fish in the yard.  There are a lot of fish left today, and some of them are half dead, and they will definitely not survive tomorrow.  Kill these fish and pickle salted fish, which can be preserved for a long time.

    However, no matter how long it is stored, it cannot withstand such daily pickling.  Seeing that the jars at home were almost filled with salted fish, the family of four had three meals a day except salted fish.  Qi Yue was so angry that she didn't hit a single place.  Others make money when they get angry, but Yan Heping is struggling on the line of life and death.

    She didn't understand, she was an intellectual anyway, how could she not be as good as those illiterate old men in starting a business?

    "Seeing that these fish are going to die, you won't lower the price? It's better to make less than no profit. You've been selling fish for more than ten years. Don't you understand this?"

    Yan Heping said: "I lowered the price, but still no one came to buy."

    "You have to yell, if you don't yell, who knows that you have lowered the price?" Qi Yueru said.?I begged my husband, "Can you let go of your airs, you have been away from the podium for more than ten years, and you are no longer a teacher!"

    Seeing his father being scolded again, Yan Xi sighed sympathetically.  She can understand the difficulty of her mother. Her salary alone is not enough for the expenses of a family of four. She needs her father to subsidize the family more.  But since my father became a fishmonger, there was almost no help at home except for the endless salted fish.

    She went into the kitchen and came out with a knife to help her father kill the fish.

    Yan Heping didn't want his daughter to do this, and he felt bad for letting his beautiful daughter hold a knife and take blood in one hand.  Softly said to Yan Xi: "Don't do it, I can do it myself."

    Yan Xi ignored it, and just said: "Dad, let's find someone to sell fish for you? Find someone who can yell."

    Yan Heping was taken aback. He couldn't maintain a balance of income and expenditure by himself. If he found another person, how could he have enough money to pay his salary?

    "Do you think Dad is particularly useless?"

    Yan Xi said: "Of course not, it's just that you don't belong to that fish stall. I remember the way you lectured to the students on the podium, it was very radiant. Everyone has their own position, and only in the right position can you shine.  light."

    Yan Heping looked at his daughter gratefully: "Yan Xi, Dad actually saved some private money. If you really want to take the entrance examination for the Academy of Fine Arts, let's take the exam next year, and Dad will pay for your tuition. Dad will definitely sell fish for you in the future.  Finish college."

    Yan Xi smiled: "Today is really a good day, so many people are rushing to pay my tuition."

    "Who else?"

    "Yi shocked the dust!"

    "Oh, you said it was your boyfriend?"

    Yan Xi said: "It was he who suggested that you find someone."

    Yan Heping said: "This kid is a little brainy. I heard that he made a promotional method for the beverage factory to open the lid and get a prize, and was praised by the factory manager. But this time the idea is not good. How can our family afford it?"  people?"

    Yan Xi said: "Listen to me. Jingchen said that now people are going to work, and after work, they buy vegetables and go home. Time is very fast. If you buy fish, you have to kill yourself when you go home. Many people find it troublesome.  .Let's find someone who can help you to yell and kill fish. As long as you buy fish at our fish stall, you can help him kill it. If it's convenient for him, he will naturally be willing to buy fish. As long as your business improves  , there is the cost of bargaining with the fish farm, and the cost can be reduced. This way, even if we hire people, we don¡¯t increase our expenses.¡±

    Yan Heping was a little moved by the words: "Can this work?"

    "Try it!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
