Chapter 7 Chapter 7 The third drawing
Not only Lin Cheng, some people on the barrage also discovered it.
[Madam, did you draw the background first? 】
[But whose family portrait is on the platform? ]
[I find this lady is really amazing sometimes. Last time I drew a landscape, a bus even crossed the solid line in it? ]
…
Pei Qing didn't pay attention to the barrage of comments on the public screen. Once she started painting, she could easily immerse herself in the painting.
So in front of everyone's eyes, a line drawing was quickly completed and coloring began soon.
[Apart from anything else, I admire your hand speed. ]
【It was done in one go. 】
[You have a pretty good foundation. How many years have you been painting? ]
…
Pei Qing did not answer the question on the barrage. She began to pay attention to coloring. The line drawing was still too rough. After she finished coloring, the complete drawing appeared on the public screen.
The background of the drawing is Hongmen East Station, which is a bus stop in City A.
At the bus stop, a middle-aged couple was standing on the left side of the platform. The middle-aged man was holding a fish in his left hand and a bag of radishes in his right hand. The middle-aged woman was looking down at the fish in his hand, but because she was standing sideways, the woman's expression could not be seen clearly.
Next to the couple were seven or eight gray-haired old men and women, each carrying full baskets of vegetables in their hands. They looked up into the distance, seemingly waiting for a bus.
Further to the right is a young man wearing a white T-shirt and black pants. He has an oatmeal complexion and is holding a cell phone in his left hand as he walks to the left.
On the far right side of the platform, a young girl in shorts and suspenders walked down the platform and walked towards the path beside the platform.
The sky is blue with a few white clouds hanging in the sky. It is a good day.
As soon as the complete drawing appeared, comments started flying on the public screen.
【Uh, where is the family photo? 】
[This drawing is not right. ]
[The only young man is the one in the middle, but he doesn’t look like a family. ]
There were more and more comments on the public screen, and even Pei Qing himself couldn't say that this was a family photo.
Lin Cheng also saw the draft, and she said to Qian Ya: "I'll tell you, it's not very reliable."
Qian Ya transferred money to her and asked her to post gifts on the public screen.
Lin Cheng: "Really?"
Qian Ya: “Swish!”
Lin Cheng felt that she had a blind trust in the painter.
But she is the boss who spends the money, and she has the final say.
Lin Cheng then quickly threw ten rockets down.
One rocket is 198, ten rockets are 1980.
This is considered a big deal in the new anchor’s live broadcast room.
Pei Qing was shocked by the special effects flying past him at the same time.
After realizing what was happening, she quickly replied: [Thank you "Orange Biting Tail" for the ten rockets. Thank you very much.]
She quickly calculated that the platform took 40% of the money, and she got 792.
Pei Qing couldn't help but feel heartbroken. My money!
Golden money in abundance!
Lin Cheng thought Qian Ya was stupid and rich, and said to the anchor: "Send me the drawing."
Pei Qing: [Okay, boss.]
【How great. 】
[I just said that there are too many bosses in Panda TV. ]
[This painting doesn’t look like a family portrait. ]
[Old fans are trembling. I have been waiting since the first day. This lady's paintings are really weird. ]
[I thought I was the only one who felt this way, and I even searched the news carefully. ]
[This boss is not here for the family portrait. ]
…
Despite the many speculations on the public screen, it did not affect Pei Qing's heartache as he looked at the backend account.
My money!
As for whether she was worried about something unusual in the drawing, she was a little worried, but she was not too worried.
Pei Qing thought, so many fortune-telling bloggers are fine, her problem is nothing.
It was impossible to admit it actively, but she would not refuse if someone came to buy it.
She's just a painting seller!
After Pei Qing sent the draft to Orange Biting Its Tail, he went off the air right after receiving an “ok” from the other party.
As soon as the broadcast started, she started to count the money. Today's income was 1,032 yuan, which was not bad.
This line of work really has money to offer!
After settling the bill, Pei Qing opened today's draft again.
"Hongmen East Station."
She muttered to herself that she knew this place and could go and take a look.
＊
Ever since Qian Ya received Pei Qing's drawing, she began to pay close attention to her uncle and aunt's schedule.
That day, when she and her mother were shopping in the supermarket, she asked, "What plans do uncle and aunt have these days?"
Liu Xiaoyun: "Let's go to the hospital first, and then have a massage. Your uncle and aunt are old and their health is not as good as before. Oh, and we need to go to the temple to pray and ask the Buddha for protection..."
She said a lot, and Qian Ya silently said: "If the Bodhisattva had blessed me, I would have found my cousin long ago."
Liu Xiaoyun patted her and said, "What are you talking about! Be more pious. It's all because of you, girl, you are so careless with your words. Please don't be offended by the Buddha!"
She clasped her hands together and bowed.
Qian Ya curled her lips and didn't care.
This is a new era, of course we have to worship new gods!
When she got home, she took out the drawing and looked at it again.
She returned to her hometown these days and brought Coke with her.
My uncle and aunt like Coke very much and praise Qian Ya for keeping Coke shiny and plump.
Qian Ya was very happy and took the time to ask, "Uncle and aunt, have you been to the vegetable market recently?"
My uncle smiled and said, "You know your mother's temper. She told us to stay at home, and she would get angry if we went to buy groceries with her. Well, it's different now. We are used to going to the supermarket. When we were young, we went to the vegetable market and sold things on the street..."
Qian Ya: "When is uncle going? Take me with you!"
Liu Xiaoyun heard this and slapped her on the forehead.
"Why are you going? I've made an appointment for your uncle and aunt at the massage parlor. Your uncle and aunt won't be available to play with you these days."
Qian Ya was helpless. If her uncle didn't go to the vegetable market, then when would this drawing be made?
She stared at the young man in the drawing. This man had double eyelids, like her aunt, and a high nose, like her uncle.
Qian Ya always felt that this man was her cousin.
It’s a bit dark, and I don’t know how I’ve been living these years.
There is no date on the drawing, so her uncle will stay in City A for at least half a month.
Qian Ya thought about it and decided to spend money to solve the problem.
She called Lin Cheng out.
Lin Cheng is a small up who edits videos. She is a freelancer, unlike Qian Ya who is an unemployed vagrant.
The two have gotten to know each other over the past few days. Qian Ya spends money generously, and Lin Cheng eats and drinks for free, and is willing to help the financial sponsor solve his troubles.
Qian Ya took Lin Cheng to a western restaurant for a candlelight dinner. Lin Cheng blushed and her heart beat fast while eating. Then Qian Ya asked, "Do you have a car?"
Lin Cheng: "I have a second-hand one. What's wrong?"
Qian Ya: "That's perfect, you can go to Hongmen East Station and stay there for a few days."
Lin Cheng: “Ah?”
Qian Ya said confidently, "I used to sleep during the day and wake up at night, but after a few days, I can't stand it anymore. You go and watch over it for me. Hongmen East Station is quite far from our home, and my uncle and aunt don't seem to be going there."
Lin Cheng: "Then what are you squatting for?"
Before she put down the red wine in her hand, she heard Qian Ya say, "One thousand a day."
Lin Cheng immediately poured her a glass of wine: "Okay sister, I will definitely complete the task for you. You can go to sleep without worry!"
After handing the task over to Lin Cheng, Qian Ya went home and went to sleep with peace of mind.
Lin Cheng took his camera and found a parking space opposite Hongmen East Station and began to wait every day.
＊
On the other side, Pei Qing also found Hongmen East Station.
During the day, she squats in a nearby 24-hour convenience store with a tablet, and goes back to live broadcast at night.
I stayed there for three days in a row, drew a lot of portraits, and kept making money, but I didn't see the scene in the drawing.
Pei Qing was really tired of squatting, so she took out the drawing and looked at it again. She also went to the vegetable market for an on-site inspection and finally confirmed that the time on the drawing must be in the morning.
The fish in the market are only fresh early in the morning, so if you want to buy fish, you must do it early.
It's summer now and the sun rises early, so how early is the time on this drawing?
Pei Qing stared at the drawing and wailed that he had to get up early.
Didn’t she choose to be a freelancer just so she doesn’t have to get up early?
＊
On the other side, Lin Cheng waited for three days but still couldn't find it.
She just graduated from college and hasn't developed a smooth personality yet. She is still an honest child.
Qian Ya spent three thousand yuan in three days very quickly, and Lin Cheng felt uneasy.
She asked Qian Ya: "Have your uncle and aunt been to the vegetable market these days?"
Qian Ya: "No. You keep squatting. If my uncle and aunt had been to the vegetable market, I wouldn't let you squat there for nothing."
Lin Cheng said "Oh".
She thought to herself, this girl really believes in this drawing.
Lin Cheng felt that Qian Ya was stupid and had a lot of money, but he also had three thousand yuan in his pocket, so he felt that it was inhumane to take the money and not do the job.
She looked at the old man and woman in the drawing, both of whom were holding vegetable baskets in their hands. She simply went to ask someone at the vegetable market what time it would open.
The old man said, "They started setting up the stalls around 4:30 or 5:00."
These words shocked Lin Cheng to pieces.
Lin Cheng: "So early?!"
The old man said, "When you get old, you don't have much time to sleep. The old men and women here go out for a stroll at around five o'clock. They come here just in time to buy some food. Little girl, what do you want to order?"
I don't want anything.
Lin Cheng was thinking in a daze that she couldn't get up at 4:30, so forget it, just sleep in the car.
＊
Early on July 7, Pei Qing drank a cup of black coffee and then rode his electric scooter to the Hongmen vegetable market at around four o'clock.
At five o'clock, she arrived at the vegetable market on time and saw the old men and women in the market, who were full of energy and carrying vegetable baskets.
horrible.
People who don’t have to go to work are different!
She looked at the platform and saw that the earliest bus here was the one at six o'clock.
There's no need to rush before six o'clock.
Now that she was there, she planned to take a walk and buy some live shrimps to take back.
Just as she was wandering around the aquatic area, she turned around and saw the familiar middle-aged couple.
Liu Hong and his wife Fang Rui rushed to the vegetable market early in the morning.
The two of them came here secretly. Liu Hong lived in this area when he was a child and was very familiar with this place.
The vegetable market has become a little cleaner over the years, nothing else has changed.
The two had originally agreed to let Liu Xiaoyun stay for half a month to recuperate, but the longer they stayed, the more anxious they felt.
It has been going on for so many years, and it’s frightening to stop suddenly.
Liu Hong discussed with his wife: "Let's go."
Fang Rui also nodded: "I feel uneasy living here, and I've been to the hospital, but I can't just leave like this."
Liu Xiaoyun had been working hard these days, so Fang Rui told Liu Hong that she wanted to treat Liu Xiaoyun and her niece to a meal before leaving.
Liu Hong: "My sister likes eating silver carp the most. Let's go buy some fresh ones and grill them."
After the two of them made the decision, they went to the Hongmen Vegetable Market, where they happened to meet Pei Qing.
What a coincidence!
Pei Qing was very surprised when he saw the couple.
She had only seen their pictures, she had never met them before and didn't know them.
But today, because of that drawing, she suddenly got to know the couple.
Both of them had gray hair on their temples and a hint of blue under their eyes.
It feels a bit strange, but also a bit heavy in my heart.
Pei Qing secretly hid to the side, intending to watch the couple from a distance.
＊
Lin Cheng made preparations last night and bought some Nestle instant coffee. When she woke up at 4:30 today, she poured it into her mouth.
Think of a thousand bucks!
She perked up, set up the camera on the passenger seat, and looked toward the platform herself.
Time passed quickly and it was half past five. An old man and an old woman walked slowly towards the platform.
Lin Cheng took another sip of coffee, looked at the old lady, looked again, and looked again. Eh?
She opened the drawing again and took a look, then slapped her thigh. It was these old ladies!
That’s right! It’s them!
She looked at the platform with ecstasy and bright eyes.
Sure enough, another couple appeared on the platform.
Lin Cheng made video calls to Qian Ya frantically, four or five times in a row and finally woke up the sister.
Qian Ya didn't go to bed until four o'clock, and was woken up by a phone call just after she had slept for a while.
"What time is it?"
Lin Cheng: "Look, look, that's your uncle and aunt, right?"
Qian Ya took a look through the video: "A bit like it."
Lin Cheng: "What do you mean by like? It's just good or not. Damn, it's amazing. Look at the man on the platform, those old men and women, and that woman. Look at the colors of the clothes they are wearing. Damn, it's amazing. This painting looks like something she has seen before! Don't sleep anymore, get up! I'm going to find a way to stop that man right now. I'll definitely add him on WeChat today!"
