Xia Minmin and her friends first went to the oil painting class on the fifth floor.

Upon opening the door, I saw a woman with loose braids, wearing a dress and an apron, sitting in front of a drawing board, painting.

Sunlight streamed through the large windows of the classroom, scattering across the oil paintings and blending with the light source depicted on them.

This scene is so beautiful that one dares not disturb it.

The painter turned around when he heard the door open and asked, "Are you two children students who want to learn oil painting?"

Li Chunmei nudged Xia Minmin, "Hello, teacher! I'm Xia Minmin. This is my receipt."

"Hello teacher! I'm Tang Meng. This is mine."

Xia Minmin and Tang Meng handed their respective receipts to Teacher Lu, who wrote them down in his notebook.

"Hello everyone, my surname is Lu, you can just call me Teacher Lu. Students and parents, please come and sit down!"

In addition to Teacher Lu's easel and chair, there are four other easels and chairs in the classroom, so there should be four people taking the class together from now on.

After Xia Minmin and Tang Meng sat down, Teacher Lu handed each of them a piece of paper.

"These are all the essential tools and paints for learning oil painting. Beginners can buy cheaper paints. You don't need to buy a frame during the summer vacation, but if you want to continue learning oil painting later, you'll need to buy a frame to keep at home."

"What are your class schedules for the two of you? There are a total of thirty classes during the summer vacation. Would you like to have classes every day or every other day? Would you prefer morning or afternoon classes?"

Xia Minmin asked, "Teacher, is the next afternoon okay? Can we have class tomorrow afternoon?"

This was something she and Tang Meng had discussed on their way home yesterday.

"Yes, you can. You can buy oil painting tools and paints at a shop called Huaxin on the calligraphy and painting street in the university town. They have a complete range of oil painting tools and paints at affordable prices."

"If there's nothing else, get the tools ready before class tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

You're welcome, see you tomorrow!

Xia Minmin and her group left the oil painting classroom.

Li Chunmei and Luo Yang took the list given to them by Teacher Lu and started looking at it.

"There are quite a few people who want to buy them."

"Yes, shall we buy the painting box as well?"

"Yes, so we don't have to make another trip later."

The list provided by Teacher Lu included 24 colors of paint, linen canvas, palette, brush washer, linseed oil, various brushes, scraper, oil bottle, and easel.

"Let's go! Where to next?"

"The skateboarding class? It's to the right of the Youth Palace, and the tennis courts are at the end."

When Xia Minmin and her friends arrived at the skate park, a crowd had already gathered around. Young men on skateboards were performing various difficult tricks, drawing applause and cheers from the onlookers.

After the man finished his performance, he said, "Thank you everyone! Those who registered, please hand me your receipts!"

When the crowd realized there was no performance to watch, they dispersed, leaving only ten children and their parents.

Xia Minmin and Tang Meng also handed him their receipts. After registering them one by one, he returned the receipts to everyone.

"Hello everyone, my surname is Niu, you can just call me Teacher Niu!"

Xia Minmin also joined in, saying, "Hello, Teacher Niu!"

Parents with children couldn't wait to raise their questions.

"Teacher Niu, will my child get hurt while learning these movements?"

"Teacher Niu, what should I do if I don't have a skateboard when I want to learn skateboarding?"

"Teacher Niu..."

Teacher Niu clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, please listen to me quietly! Skateboarding is still a new sport in my country. Currently, many equipment options in Shenzhen are not readily available, and people have to go to Hong Kong to buy them."

"Hong Kong? Buying these isn't worth it!"

"Yeah, how about we just not learn it?"

"I don't want to, I want to learn!"

"Hey, why are you so disobedient!"

The scene quickly spiraled out of control, with parents yelling and children crying.

Teacher Niu had to clap his hands again, "Everyone, please be quiet! Let me finish! I will arrange for the skateboards and protective gear to be ordered. Please hand over the money to the teacher at the registration desk later. Try to pay in the morning so you can use them for class tomorrow."

"Skateboard, knee pads, elbow pads, hand guards, and helmet all add up to 100 yuan. Many imported brands make skateboard shoes, which you can buy yourself."

As Teacher Niu spoke, he kept patting various parts of his body to explain.

"Please register your class times with me."

Xia Minmin and Tang Meng still attend classes every other day.

"Teacher Niu, can we have class tomorrow morning?"

Teacher Niu pulled out the register. "Let me see, no problem. Xia Minmin and Tang Meng, right?"

"Um."

Teacher Niu looked at the two girls, who were the only two girls in his class. "Give the 100 yuan to the teacher at the registration desk later. The protective gear and skateboard will arrive tomorrow morning."

"Understood, thank you, Teacher Niu!"

Go!

Goodbye, Teacher Niu!

Xia Minmin and Tang Meng took two hundred yuan from their mothers, ran to the registration desk, got their receipts, and came back.

The last stop was a tennis hobby class.

When Xia Minmin and her friends found the tennis court, they saw a man playing against the wall.

They stood there watching for a long time, until the man stopped on his own.

"Are you students who signed up for tennis classes at the Children's Palace?"

"Yes, hello coach!"

Xia Minmin and Tang Meng handed the receipt to the man for registration.

"You can call me Coach Yang. When do you plan to start class?"

"Coach Yang, is the day after tomorrow morning okay?"

"No problem. Is this your first time playing tennis?"

Xia Minmin and Tang Meng nodded quickly.
