Chapter 428: Congratulations on reaching the finals

Wu Daocheng was delighted. The cultural gap created in the past ten years almost caused a lack of successors in the calligraphy and painting world. Now someone was able to fill the gap.

The paintings of Li Fusheng and Huo Beiyuan had been sent to him some time ago.

He had seen them and found them to be very good, but in terms of artistic conception and technique, Shi Tingyu was better.

The paintings of the former two were still at the stage of exquisite skills, but Tingyu's paintings had already returned to the original simplicity.

He had already seen the hope of a Chinese winning the gold medal of the Rodrigo Painting Competition.

Before letting them register, Wu Daocheng felt that Shi Tingyu's paintings were above the silver medal but not the gold medal, but at this time he was more confident.

As for Li Fusheng and Huo Beiyuan, he thought it would be great if they could win the bronze medal.

After making sure that there were no problems with the three paintings, he arranged for someone to take the paintings to the United States.

A little later, Christmas would be coming there.

The preliminary results will be announced in February.

During this period, Shi Tingyu not only taught classes to students at the Public Security University as planned, but also tutored foreign languages ​​for the people sent by the camp. Except

for Lu Weiguo, the other five people were all people who had performed missions in the United States.

Shi Tingyu tutored them in foreign languages ​​at the beginning.

Now they need to strengthen their memory, after all, they are pretending to be translators for the contestants who are going to participate in the competition.

It would be best if the other three assistants could learn.

Then they will not be unable to understand a word when they arrive abroad.

Shi Tingyu was not worried that the three would reveal their true colors, because due to the national conditions, the foreign language level of Chinese people today is generally not very good.

Moreover, she has a backup in terms of language.

When Shi Tingyu was teaching foreign languages, Shen Shen and Qian Qian both looked at their mother in surprise.

Suddenly they found that they could not understand what their mother said.

But after a long time, Qian Qian didn't say anything, but Shen Shen learned a lot of sentences.

During meals, he would occasionally say a few foreign language sentences.

Although he didn't know many sentences, the context of each sentence was correct.

This suddenly aroused Shi Tingyu's enthusiasm for teaching.

So when teaching the six people, Shi Tingyu brought Shen Shen and Qian Qian over to listen.

She didn't force them to learn a lot, even if they knew a few sentences, it was a benefit.

I think foreign languages ​​are fun, and I can only learn them by doing. She is just learning by doing. However, she can't speak Chinese well, let alone foreign languages.

This year, it is Lu Weiguo's turn to take a family leave, but this time they didn't go back for the Chinese New Year. Instead, they took advantage of the Chinese New Year to learn foreign languages ​​with Shi Tingyu.

It allowed the two elders to go back to their hometown to have a good rest.

Lu's father and mother looked at their one-year-old granddaughter and felt reluctant to let her go.

"How about we not go back?" said Lu's father, "They are busy now, and the child is still young."

Shi Tingyu said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, Qianqian is not young anymore, she is obedient, I usually take her to class with Shenshen, and Li Jian helps when she doesn't speak foreign languages. Weiguo can also help with other housework."

She didn't find it difficult for the two elders to leave, because with Lu Weiguo around, she always felt very secure. She

didn't have to do anything by herself, he would try his best to reduce her burden.

And the obedience and understanding of the two children Shenshen and Qianqian also gave her great confidence.

Not to mention the experienced Li Jian.

The compound is a big family. If there are real difficulties, everyone will help.

Only then did Mr. and Mrs. Lu give up the idea of ​​staying.

Now the two of them help their young daughter-in-law take care of the children all year round. In a few years, both children will be brought up.

At this time, they should also go back a few times appropriately. Even if the grandson of the old family no longer needs the two old people to take care of him, he is still their grandson and they will miss him.

And for the sake of the harmonious relationship between the two brothers, they always have to take good care of both sides.

Since the retirement of the two elders, this is the first time that Shi Tingyu has spent the New Year without his parents-in-law.

He has to prepare all the New Year's goods by himself.

Shi Tingyu hasn't cooked for a long time. During the New Year period, he can pick up his cooking skills again.

After accidentally over-frying the first few meatballs, the later ones slowly returned to their previous quality.

Lu Weiguo picked up the over-fried meatballs and ate them, and said very flatteringly: "Over-fried ones are also delicious, I like the burnt texture." Shi

Tingyu shook his head and laughed.

On New Year's Eve, Lu Weiguo went to pick up Shi's father and mother who were off work, and the family had a warm and noisy New Year's Eve dinner. Shi's

father and mother had three days off, and during this time they helped take care of the children in the compound.

When Shi Tingyu was teaching the others foreign languages, Shi's father and mother would occasionally supplement them.

With three people who had lived abroad for so long teaching them, the six people who already had some basics made rapid progress.

The Chinese New Year passed in a flash, and Shi Tingyu received a call from Mr. Wu Daocheng before the end of the winter vacation.

On the phone, Mr. Wu's voice was full of joy.

Although he was old, his voice was as loud as a bell. "Xiao Shi, it seems that you can't avoid the trip to the United States."

When Shi Tingyu heard this, he knew that their paintings must have passed the preliminary review.

"Have we passed the preliminary review?" Shi Tingyu asked, but the tone of his voice was almost firm.

Wu Daocheng laughed, "Passed, passed, all three passed, and they asked to fly to the United States on March 1st."

Shi Tingyu said there was no problem.

She was familiar with the weather in Chicago in March, so she told President Wu and asked him to tell the other two so that they could prepare their luggage.

Wu Daocheng agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Daocheng couldn't help but sigh that this was the good thing about being in the United States, which saved them a lot of trouble.

When Lu's father and mother came back, they heard the news that Shi Tingyu's painting had passed the preliminary review, and they were so happy that they didn't know what to do.

Lu's mother slapped her thigh and said loudly: "I was wondering why we kept hearing magpies along the way. This is really a great thing!"

When Xiaoyu won the gold medal in a domestic competition, they felt that he was particularly amazing. Now he has even entered the finals of an overseas competition. This is really a great honor.

There are still twenty days before March 1st, and Shi Tingyu said, "Mom and Dad, Weiguo and I will fly to the United States on March 1st . I'm sorry to trouble you two to take care of the children at home. We will ask Captain Han and his men next door to look after them. You can ask them for help if you need anything.

" Lu Weiguo also said, "Yes, I will ask the correspondent Guo Bao to deliver some vegetables to our home every day. You will be safe in our family compound." After

being warned like this, Lu's father looked at his little son unhappily, "Your parents are of this age, they have experienced everything? You are still worried?"

Lu Weiguo did not refute. In the early days, parents educate and guide their children, but when the children grow up, the roles of both parties will be reversed.

When I was young, I thought my parents were great. Whenever I had problems that I couldn't solve, I would turn to them. But when I grew up, I realized that my parents couldn't solve everything. At this time, they became the role of their former parents.
