Ye Guo recalled the deep eye sockets and brown eyes of the man just now, and his mind turned.
Oh, minority brothers.
Li Hong's salon ended at three o'clock on time, and the two met at the address she had given.
The last time we met was two years ago, and since then we have exchanged likes, comments and WeChat chats. Although Li Hong is her teacher, the two have surpassed the ordinary teacher-student friendship.
Ye Guo arrived first, found a place to sit, Starbucks has upgraded the store in recent years, there are more seats but more customers, thanks to the unemployment tide, the guests are estimated to be in the same situation as Ye Guo.
Li Hong pushed the door in, and the two men at the door looked up at her for a while. She wears light makeup, short shoulder-length hair, a black trench coat and jeans, and comfortable flat shoes. Unlike the last time we met, her hair color was dyed all gray, and it was not clear how old she was for a while.
"Here." Ye Guo beckoned to her, and had already ordered a mandarin duck latte for Li Hong.
Li Hong walked over with a smile, stood and picked up the coffee and took a big sip.
"You're in good spirits, I'm a little worried just now." Li Hong took off her trench coat and sat down.
Ye Guo pointed to Li Hong's hair and said, "It's good-looking." "
"I can't dye my gray hair, so I just change my style, I know that you can appreciate it, and everyone said yes today."
Li Hong said that the salon she attended was a tea party of a friend's company, and she hadn't seen her for a long time, so she should get together.
"It's nothing, it's all familiar faces, talking about gossip or something... Hey, Xiaoye, you're a little thin, you're too tired. "
"I rushed to illustrate at night and slept too late. It's a good time to take a break. Ye Guo was relieved of his unemployment.
"You've been able to keep drawing, and you've done a good job." The teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts have all paid attention to Ye Guo's Weibo, and will also comment on her paintings in private messages.
"What are you going to do after that?" Li Hong asked.
"I didn't think about it."
According to the state of the past few years, Ye Guo felt that it was better to have a job, or simply take the exam. But if you really do that, you may fall into the helplessness of repeating the cycle.
Li Hong turned the coffee cup and said, "Actually, it's not the first time I've said that among your students, you are the most regrettable, if you take the career path from the beginning, you will go easier than others." "
"I screwed it up myself." Ye Guo said.
Li Hong sighed, "It's my problem, I shouldn't introduce that person to you." "
At the mention of "that person", Ye Guo could still feel the muscle aches under the mouth of her left heart, she had seen him in her dream, silhouette, wearing tortoiseshell-framed glasses, pointing to her painting and saying, "Xiao Ye, no." "
"I went to Hebei last month, and an acquaintance had his address, so I went to find him."
Ye Guo felt his emotions sinking, but still asked, "How is he?" "
Li Hong's face turned cold, and he said: "It's much better than you, being an art critic and opening a studio, you can take the route of an art veteran." I asked him who he had given your painting to. "
She knew about "Into the Night", and the teacher of the Academy of Fine Arts notified her first after seeing it on the Internet, and then she told Ye Guo. Everyone is angry but helpless, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but often because of the huge difference in social status between the two sides, the result of the struggle may first ruin the future of the plagiarized person.
"What did he say?" Ye Guo said.
"He said he told you."
Ye Guo was silent, not sure if she still wanted to see that person, she had already lived a peaceful life.
Li Hong continued: "Actually, you still have a chance to change the track now, it's easy to succeed in what you're good at, he can make a name for himself, why can't you." "
Ye Guo really didn't give up, but he admitted in his heart that he didn't work too hard to drill the camp, but he just said hard: "I'm still painting, yes... More than 50,000 followers. "
"The ones you draw are too simple for you to go far. After graduating, the college students have independently made trend IP and decorative arts, which are good for a period of time, but it is okay if they do not progress. You should put some effort into the camp, find some suitable agencies to work with, and you can concentrate on doing your own thing. "
"I ran away from my last agency because I owed money, and I picked up the cat he lost."
Li Hong squirted out the coffee with a smile, wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, "Xiaoye, you really don't know how to look at people, let me help you pay attention, you have to draw, remember to paint." "
Ye Guo said goodbye to Li Hong and went home. Regarding unemployment, she didn't think about how to talk to her family or when.
When I walked to the door, I found that large bags of cat food, cat litter and canned food had been delivered, and there was a pile of ground at the door. Mom and Dad shouldn't have gone downstairs, otherwise they would have come to ask her why she bought these.
Pushing the door in, it still stinks. There was another bubble on the bathroom floor towel, dry and wet. This ancestor ate a bowl full of rice and yellow croaker last night.
Ye Guo stuffed the towel into the plastic bag, turned on the exhaust, and pushed open the window of the room.
After washing her hands and changing her clothes, she began to disassemble the cat food, perhaps because she heard a voice, the white-haired ancestor crawled out from under the bed, yawned, stretched his waist, and rubbed Ye Guo's calf ripely.
"Go, go, go." Ye Guo pushed it away with her feet, poured the cat food into the bowl that came with it, and opened the can and buckled it on the food.
She watched her ancestor meow and eat, took a basin from the bathroom, dismantled the cat litter and poured it in. As soon as the cat litter was half filled with the pot, the ancestor had finished the canned food and jumped into the basin to release it, and the stench exploded instantly.
Ye Guo almost ran out screaming, and came to the bedroom window before he breathed a sigh of relief.
The cool night is darker and irritating. She thought of a way out of the future.
Ms. Li's suggestion is very correct, but is it still looking for an art classroom to be a substitute teacher? Success is a long road, and most people can't get worldly success, and the cost performance is too poor.
After the release, the ancestor ran out of the bathroom and got under the bed.
Ye Guo walked into the bathroom to see the burial situation, and heard a knock on the door, it was his father's voice.
"Guoguo, have you eaten?"
"Ah, eat." Ye Guo didn't want to go upstairs.
"Come on, your mother has something to tell you."
When I went upstairs, there was no smell of food in the hallway, and I didn't cook new dishes today. Ye Guo felt bad, and sure enough, when he entered the house, he saw Ye's mother sitting at the dining table, with a straight face, the table was full of old vegetables, and Ye's father didn't drink.
She didn't dare to make a sound, and sat down in her old seat.
"Why don't you tell your family when you break up with your little grandson?" Mother Ye really went crazy.
"I'll talk about it later."
"Then why are you still murdering?"
"He murdered me first, and he was embarrassed to murder me." Ye Guo felt aggrieved.
Dad Ye suddenly couldn't help laughing, and was glared at by Mother Ye.
"Have you been fired by the company?" Mama Ye finally asked.
Ye Guo's ears were hot at first, which was what she was worried about, but gradually her heart relaxed, and she felt that it was better to say this matter earlier.
"The company's efficiency is not good, and I am being fired now, and I have lost a lot."
Mother Ye sighed, unemployment is more sad than, in the eyes of their generation, work is the most important.
"I'll submit my resume tonight, and tomorrow I'll look for a job in a painting studio, it's not hard to find."
"Does that kind of work pay money?"
"Generally, don't pay it, do it first and then talk about it."
Mother Ye sighed again. In the eyes of the elders, the one who has gold is the job.
"You have taken the public exam, the school is good, there are winter and summer vacations." She made the same suggestion as Xiao Sun.
This meal was too aggrieved, and Ye Guo still found a chance to slip away. When she went downstairs to take out the key to open the door, Dad Ye called her on the second floor, carried two steamed buns and walked down, didn't plan to enter the door, just stood at the door and stuffed the steamed buns to her, a vegetable and a meat, and said a few more words.
After Ye Guo became an adult, her parents didn't come into her room casually, even if they lived together. This time, Ye Guo invited his father in. In addition to being unemployed, she also has other things to explain.
Dad Ye really smelled the smell and saw the cat litter box in the bathroom. Ye Guo felt that her father had always stood with her, and it was Ye's father who persuaded Ye's mother when she was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts.
"If the money doesn't come back, the boss who owes me money has given me the cat." Ye Guo confessed.
Dad Ye walked to the side of the bed, squatted down to look inside, and heard "Ha~~~" coming from inside. He stood up, smiled and said, "It looks like a famous breeder." "
In addition to his bald head, Dad Ye has a good appearance and a cheerful personality. Back then, he had some acting talents and dreams of becoming a star, not because he had no hair, but now he is also an old artist. Ye Guo inherited his appearance and talent, and inherited his mother's thick hair with some natural curls.
"That's ... Earned? Ye Guo asked his father.
"Make a fortune." Dad Ye said.
Father and daughter laugh together. After laughing, Dad Ye said again: "Your mother is worried about you." "
"I'm worried about myself, too." Ye Guo was a little sad.
"Your mother and little grandma quarreled."
Ye Guo was surprised at first, and then felt that it was reasonable, and whispered: "I'm not good." "
"Forget about the past." Dad Ye took out a bank card from his pocket, "Your mother asked me to give it to you, this is her retirement salary card, the password is your birthday, if you don't find a job to pay the money, you can use the money in it to pay the money yourself, and you can keep the rest." "
Ye Guo was a little frightened, and hurriedly excused himself: "I have money." "
Dad Ye put the card on the table next to him and said, "Your mother is not against you painting, you are all in good spirits when you paint, we have no other requirements, pay the money, eat well, you wait to eat the steamed buns." He pointed to the card on the table and told her to put it away, then walked out and closed the door.
Ye Guo looked at the closed door, and then looked at the card on the table, which was a red pension card of ICBC.
Ye Ma is the most insurance-minded person, with a stable job, a pension to be paid, and money to be saved in the four major banks. She was able to support herself to be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, because she also had a plan for her daughter's ideal future in her heart: to be an art teacher, find a teacher in the school, preferably a math teacher, both of them have winter and summer vacations, and they can also help students make up classes.
Ye Guo didn't let the family go well, and when he came out, he started a business with his friends and talked about an unreliable boyfriend.
Even so, her parents have always stood with her and helped her think about it, because she is the only baby daughter in the family, and the password of the bank card is her birthday. They are the perfect parents, but she is a waste of wood.
Ye Guo sat down, rubbed his face with his hands, felt tired, and planned to take a shower before eating steamed buns.
When it came out after washing, the phone screen just went out, and a missed call from Li Hong also sent a message and a voice message on WeChat, with a business card attached: Zoo Art Gallery
There is also a photo of Li Hong and several people.
In the photo, Li Hong is naturally beautiful, and there is a good-looking but familiar man on the very edge, who is a rare portrait model.
"This is too coincidental..." Ye Guo enlarged the photo with his finger.
