Chapter 413 Preparing to Return Home

Having dealt with the reprint and film adaptation, Shi Tingyu began to prepare for her personal exhibition next year.

It was almost the year of 1981, and there were two days until New Year's Day, with only four months to go until the first anniversary of the gallery's opening.

She had to prepare a lot of things before the exhibition on April 18.

The paintings required for a personal exhibition usually had to be at least thirty.

She had enough paintings on hand, all of which were accumulated over the past two years.

But it would be better if she had more.

The paintings on the second floor of the gallery were mostly from the artists' association. Those painters wanted to cash in, and she had a platform, so both sides could get what they needed.

Now her fame is growing, and the Space-Time Gallery is becoming more and more famous. She found that her works can enter the second floor of the gallery and become a tester for some new painters to test their fame and status.

So now there is no shortage of paintings in her gallery.

And the commission of her gallery has also increased from 10% to 20%.

Now galleries in various places are slowly appearing, and their commissions are much higher than Shi Tingyu's. If she doesn't raise the commission in a few years, she will be squeezed out by various galleries.

Because she affects the market price.

It is more acceptable to increase it a little bit now than to increase it to 30% or 40% right away.

She likes to plan before she acts.

Now she is actively preparing for the second child. It is a little harder at this time, so that she won't be in a dilemma if she gets pregnant later and doesn't have enough energy.

However, she doesn't just force herself to create when she paints.

Creation also requires inspiration. She also carries a painting with her. When she has inspiration, she can paint more. When she doesn't have inspiration, she can relax. The combination of work and rest will increase efficiency.

Meanwhile, students at school are all reviewing for the final exams. Compared with studying new content, it is easier to review previous content.

Time flies and it is 1981.

After New Year's Day, the time for the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer.

Father Lu and Mother Lu also returned to their hometown early to prepare for the Chinese New Year.

Because if their parents were here, they would not have the once-every-two-year home visit leave.

But they were not happy if the elderly did not return to their hometown for the Chinese New Year.

At first, the family discussed letting Lu's father go back to pack first, and then Lu's mother would go back after a while. Shi Tingyu saw that the winter vacation would be in a few days, so he simply let the old people go back with him so that they could take care of him on the way.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law had made all the plans, the two old people had no objections, so they bought tickets to go back home.

Lu Weiguo and his family would have to wait until the end of January to go back.

During this last period of time, the students of the Public Security University found that there was a little dumpling next to Professor Shi, and they were all very happy.

Even Bill and Lanson couldn't help but pay more attention to it.

The school was very tolerant of Professor Shi Tingyu, and no one would say anything if he brought a child to class for a few days.

After class, Shi Tingyu wanted to take Shen Shen back to the office, but was stopped by the students. One by one, they insisted that they had delicious food to give to Shen Shen.

It is said that you should not hit a smiling person. Shen Shen felt the love from the students again.

If the bell for class had not rang, Shi Tingyu was afraid that he would not be able to bring his son back.

Not only the students, but also the teachers in the office were eyeing Shen Shen covetously.

Shen Shen basically never got off the ground after following his mother to the office. He was carried around by various teachers.

Most of these teachers were old men who held positions in the public security system. Seeing such a cute child, the hearts of the old fathers were also melted.

Shen Shen did not want to come the next day.

These people were too enthusiastic.

Later, Shi Tingyu had to persuade him to come to school again.

Fortunately, such days did not last long, and the school soon ushered in the final exams.

Shi Tingyu did not take Shen Shen to school on the day of the exam, because she was afraid that Shen Shen would affect the students' exams.

Finally, it was the neighbor's sister-in-law Han who helped take care of the child for a day.

When she sent Shen Shen to the next door, sister-in-law Han smiled happily. The two families had a good relationship, and Shen Shen grew up under her care. She loved this child very much.

When Shi Tingyu came back from school to pick up Shen Shen, sister-in-law Han's face was full of reluctance.

After the final exam, Shi Tingyu and Zhao Qiansun, three teaching assistants, corrected the test papers.

The questions in their majors were all written by Shi Tingyu, and he corrected them very quickly.

It was basically completed in one day.

When the results came out, the winter vacation came for all the colleges and universities, and the faces of all the students were full of joy as they were about to go home for the New Year.

Shi Tingyu also completely relaxed.

He and Shen Shen began to pack up and prepare to go back to their hometown for the New Year.

Shen Shen is now four years old. Although she is not old enough, because of the spiritual spring water, this child has a high IQ. Shi Tingyu also began to cultivate his independent thinking ability.

For example, let him choose what to bring home for the New Year.

If there is something he misses, she just reminds him.

Not to mention, when Shen Shen is seriously talking about bringing this and that, she looks like a little adult.

January 31st is the 26th of Ramadan. Lu Weiguo's communicator Guo Bao sent them to the station.

Speaking of Guo Bao, he also has a nickname called National Treasure. He is a very clever little soldier.

Now is not wartime, so Lu Weiguo does not have full-time guards, but he has communicators. Guo Bao has to report back to the guard company after work.

If you want to have a full-time guard, Lu Weiguo's current position is not enough, especially in a few years, the military will be downsized, and the threshold for having a full-time guard will have to be at least deputy army level.

Guo Bao helped to deliver the luggage to the soft sleeper room and made sure that nothing was wrong before leaving.

This time, the family of three plus Li Jian directly booked a soft sleeper room.

Although Shen Shen had taken a train before, the child didn't remember much at that time, so this time it was very novel.

Li Jian's eyes followed Shen Shen the whole time, fearing that he might get into trouble on the train, and he demonstrated the duty of a guard dog to the fullest.

The family arrived at Huaixian Railway Station in the early morning.

This time, Lu Jianguo drove a tractor to pick them up.

Lu Jianguo saw Lu Weiguo's family from a distance and waved to them.

Lu Weiguo held Shen Shen in one hand and carried the luggage in the other hand and walked towards Lu Jianguo.

It had been two years since Lu Jianguo saw Shen Shen.

Before, he was still a little kid, but now, Shen Shen has become a smart kid.

Lu Weiguo put Shen Shen down and asked him to call him uncle.

Shen Shen glanced at Lu Jianguo and called him uncle.

Lu Jianguo responded happily and reached out to hold Shen Shen up.

Shen Shen looked at her uncle and then at her father, her heart full of doubts. Her father looked very much like her grandfather, but how come he didn't look like her uncle?

Lu Weiguo must have known what Shen Shen was thinking at the moment, otherwise he would have been surprised.

A child as old as Shen Shen might not even understand the relationship between her uncle and her father, so how could she know such a question involving genetics.

Lu Jianguo helped them put their luggage into the tractor.

After the whole family got in the car, Li Jian pushed on the spot and jumped onto the tractor.

After it jumped up, the tractor engine made a bang.

Lu Jianguo thought to himself that Li Jian seemed to be a little heavier.
