Chapter 160 Competition

Liu Caixia estimated that the age of this battalion commander would not exceed 30.

Such a person could be the battalion commander, and he was not just a newcomer. He must have a strong background or outstanding military achievements.

Such a person should be treated well.

Thinking of this, she smiled, "So you are the wife of the battalion commander. You were on family leave before, so I haven't seen you. Now I see you, it really broadens my horizons. I have never seen a beautiful woman like you since I was born."

While praising, Liu Caixia said, "Then let's go together. I have just been here for a short time and I am not familiar with this place."

Mrs. Zhang has a better relationship with Shi Tingyu, but since she said so, she would not refuse.

Shi Tingyu knew that Zhang's wife was always kind-hearted, so he agreed with a smile.

Along the way, Liu Caixia was the one asking questions, Zhang's wife was talking, and Shi Tingyu occasionally added a few words, and the atmosphere was quite comfortable.

After this, the three of them became more familiar with each other.

When they returned to the family compound, before they said goodbye, Liu Caixia invited them, "We will have a dinner in two days, and you and your sister-in-law can come along."

They don't bring family members when they entertain guests, but it's another matter if the host invites them.

The two agreed.

Shi Tingyu also saw that Liu Caixia was a relatively shrewd person, with some of her own little thoughts, but she was not a bad person.

After Liu Caixia returned home, she began to pack her things.

When Li Dongsheng came back in the evening, she told him about her encounter with the wives of the first and second battalion commanders, and invited them to come over for dinner. Li

Dongsheng praised her, saying, "Very good. You are always thorough. After all, I am new here, so I have to build a good relationship with them."

Liu Caixia said, "I thought so too, but if I only invited them, I am afraid that other families will have opinions. I am thinking of inviting the wives of other families together tomorrow."

Their family's financial conditions are not bad. Although they can't catch up with Shi Tingyu's style, they can still invite guests for dinner.

Li Dongsheng smiled, "I said my wife is highly conscious. If it were an ordinary family, they might not be willing to give up that little food."

Liu Caixia gave him a reproachful look, "Of course I am not that kind of person."

On the other side, Lu Weiguo returned home after a day of training. Seeing that the vegetables in the yard had not been planted yet, he changed his clothes and planted the remaining vegetables.

Shi Tingyu went to the kitchen to get busy.

While eating, Shi Tingyu told Liu Caixia about what happened today.

Lu Weiguo said, "Today, I heard from Han Tuan that Li Dongsheng has a strong personality, but there is nothing special about him. His family has some background in the military."

This is because it is easy to get things done with someone in the court. Today was the first day of his training, and Han Tuan came to him to talk about this.

"Since she asked you to go for dinner, let's go together then."

Shi Tingyu smiled and said, "No need, Sister Zhang and I can go together then. We have to go early to help."

Lu Weiguo frowned slightly, and suddenly he didn't want his wife to go.

Shi Tingyu ignored his entanglement, quickly finished her meal, washed up and went to bed.

Because she also has to start working tomorrow.

On the first day of school, Shi Tingyu arrived at school early.

The children had helped clean the sanitation when they reported two days ago.

The seniors were even asked to bring small shovels to clean the weeds on the playground.

Everyone is used to these activities before school starts, and they are happy to do them.

As long as they are not in class, they are happy to do it.

When Shi Tingyu arrived at the office, she found that Han Wei had arrived earlier than her.

He had already cleaned the place.

Han Wei's eyes lit up when he saw Shi Tingyu, "Teacher Shi, you are here."

"Good morning." Shi Tingyu greeted him with a smile.

Han Wei took some candies from the drawer and handed them to Shi Tingyu, "Teacher Shi, have candies."

Shi Tingyu was stunned for a moment. Why was this kid suddenly so enthusiastic?

But she still took the candies he handed over.

Watching the time pass by, Han Wei seemed to be hesitant to speak, and his face flushed.

Shi Tingyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Xiao Wei, do you have anything to tell me?"

Han Wei was not an outgoing person. When Shi Tingyu asked him this, he felt a little embarrassed, as if he had brought the candy just to ask for help.

He was now hesitant about whether to say it or not.

Shi Tingyu saw his tangled look and said, "Just tell me what you have to say. It's okay."

Han Wei spoke at this

time. "Teacher Shi, I saw the news of a clay sculpture competition in the Jinling Daily, and I wanted to give it a try. However, I am afraid that I am not good enough. I would like to ask Teacher Shi to give me some pointers when you are free."

Shi Tingyu was a little surprised. He did not expect that there would be such a competition during this special period.

"Did you bring the newspaper?"

"Yes." Han Wei spoke excitedly, and took out a neatly folded newspaper from his bag and handed it to Shi Tingyu.

Shi Tingyu took a look and found that the clay sculpture must be a figure.

Speaking of clay sculpture, she suddenly remembered some things about Jinling clay figurines in later generations.

At that time, Jinling clay figurines were a provincial intangible cultural heritage project.

I remember reading an introduction at that time. In the early 1960s, several art editors of Xinhua Daily created Jinling colored sculptures, also known as Jinling clay figurines, based on Liangxi clay figurines through exaggerated composition and modeling.

Jinling clay figurines were widely praised after being exhibited in Beijing.

In the 1980s, Jinling clay figurines were very popular and sold far and wide at home and abroad.

Does Jinling have plans to promote these clay figurines now?

Shi Tingyu thought a lot, but it only took a moment. She looked at Han Wei's eager eyes and said, "Okay, when you are unsure about something, I will show it to you."

Han Wei was very excited. In his opinion, Shi Tingyu was a master in this field. With her guidance, his works would definitely be able to reach a higher level.

He immediately began to conceive the characters on the drawing paper.

In fact, he always had a vague idea in his heart, and the inspiration came from the three-dimensional mural outside the school.

The figure of the warrior walking out of the war left a deep impression on him.

He wanted to make a clay sculpture related to the warrior.

Two days later, Han Wei showed Shi Tingyu the sketch.

It was a running warrior, his body was full of scars, but his expression was full of hope.

"Teacher Shi, do you think this will work?"

"Very good." Shi Tingyu affirmed his idea.

In this day and age, this is very good.

Han Wei smiled, "Then I'll show you when I finalize it."

Shi Tingyu nodded, took a pen and slightly modified the eyes and mouth on his sketch.

"Eyes and mouth are an important medium for facial expression, and they can be portrayed more delicately. Pay attention to the direction of his facial muscles..."

Han Wei looked at it carefully and nodded from time to time.
