The path of art is not easy, it relies more on talent.
Qin Changqing is actually talented. If he was born ten years later, he would have had good conditions to engage in this kind of work. It's a pity that nowadays, let alone Impressionism, even learning Chinese painting is not tolerated by the world.
Old Master Qin was also extremely worried. Once someone reported him, he wouldn't be the only one to live in the cowshed or go to the farm. The entire family would be implicated.
At this juncture, many people are staring at the Qin family.
It's the time when the two sides are evenly matched.
If it were any other patriarch, Qin Changqing would either be expelled from the family, the Qin family would cut off ties with him, or at least he would be beaten a few times. But Old Man Qin did not do that. He patiently and kindly persuaded people, which was really touching.
Ji Xia was taking a shower in the bathroom in the room. Qin Xiao brought the two children into the space, gave them a bath, and then put them to sleep in the space.
He also took a shower and changed into home clothes. Ji Xia was drying her hair, so he took the towel from Ji Xia's hand and dried her hair.
"Do you want to go downstairs to stay up until the New Year?" Ji Xia asked.
Qin Xiao hummed, "A few days ago, there was a rumor that someone was going to report Chang Qing. When my uncle returned home, he burned all of his paintings and tools. The father and son had a huge argument at home and almost came to blows."
Ji Xia was speechless, but she wouldn't comment directly. "He's lived abroad for quite a while, so it's natural that he has some different ideas. If you talk slowly, you'll eventually figure it out."
Qin Xiao disagrees. "He's always had different ideas from others, like a princess living in a castle. He always thinks the world is beautiful. When he's bullied, he gets incredibly sad and never learns from it."
Ji Xia knew that there were such people in the world. It was not that they did not learn from their mistakes, but that they were too lazy to learn from them.
How difficult it is for people to change themselves!
Inertial growth is such a simple thing, who wouldn’t find it troublesome?
If someone like Qin Changqing lived in an ordinary family, it wouldn't matter. But in a complex family like the Qin family, where brothers are friendly and respectful to each other, and there is no fighting, the external environment is very dangerous, with enemies all around and watching closely.
"What about the report?" Ji Xia asked.
"After receiving the news in advance, my uncle made preparations. Hong Xiuzhang went to the house and searched, but found nothing. Someone from higher up put pressure on us, so the matter was left unresolved for the time being.
Yesterday, he went to the Friendship Store to buy paint tools. Luckily, Director Xin knew my dad. They lived in the same compound as my uncle and knew about the report, so they didn't sell him anything.
Ji Xia never dreamed that there would be such a person who was a drag in the family.
This is courting death again and again!
She was a little panicked, but she didn't care. She still had a big organization, the army, but she also had two children. Now this home could be said to be a rare peaceful haven in the stormy sea.
It would be hard for her to accept that those red rust seals would come to her house and ransack it, disrupting the rare peace she now had.
"What should we do now?" Ji Xia asked.
"Grandpa has wanted him to go to the countryside for a long time, and it was Dad who reminded him. Now he can still see it right in front of him. If he goes to the countryside and paints there, and is discovered and reported, it will be even more serious." Qin Xiao was also a little helpless.
"Did he start painting after going abroad, or did he start painting in the country?" Ji Xia asked.
"Back home, his paintings always criticized reality. He almost got into trouble, so my grandfather had no choice but to send him to Country F. It was a huge risk."
If it weren't for the Vietnam War, the Chinese ambassador would have withdrawn from Country F, and Qin Changqing would have been fine staying in Country F.
This is such a disaster!
Ji Xia said, "Then let him go to the high-speed rail factory. I'll find a way to have someone keep an eye on him."
She decided to throw this man to Qiao San, and let Qiao San help watch him, squeeze him hard and make him work.
The so-called rebellious period generally means that life is too comfortable. What child who lacks food and clothing will have a rebellious period?
I had never heard of this word in the days when people were still hungry.
Qin Xiao helped Ji Xia dry his hair, and then he went downstairs. Ji Xia didn't have to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year, but Qin Xiao still had to go and keep watch with the elders.
Downstairs, the atmosphere was tense again. It could be said that every word Qin Changqing said was inappropriate and unacceptable to the elders.
Xiao Yaling tried to smooth things over and change the subject, "Changqing, how about going on a blind date tomorrow? First, get married, then build a career. Once you have a family, you can find a way to go to work, work wholeheartedly, and build a successful career."
She was still worried that the old man would get angry and really send him to the countryside.
In addition to feeling sorry for her son suffering in the countryside, Xiao Yaling was also worried that with Qin Changqing's temper, he would be easily bullied in the countryside.
"Mom, why are you always staring at me getting married? Isn't my second brother's case enough for you elders to reflect? If my second brother hadn't been pushed so hard, how could he have found a wife like that? Didn't they still get divorced in the end?"
Qin Changqing was talking about Qin Changsu.
Xiao Yaling suddenly became restless and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She scolded softly, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"
Chen Congying was quite magnanimous and didn't argue with his nephew. He smiled and said, "I was urging your second brother to get married. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. It's nothing for parents to care about their children's marriages.
Not everyone is bad. Look at Xiao and Xia Xia, they are so happy, and their two children are so cute. You can't just look at the bad ones, you should look at the people who are happy. "
Qin Xiao had just come down from upstairs and happened to hear, "Mom, most people don't have my kind of luck, so stop letting people envy me!"
What a shameless statement!
Old Master Qin was amused by him, and the atmosphere relaxed a little. "Are the two brothers asleep?"
"Yeah, I'm asleep."
Qin Xiao came over and sat down on the sofa next to the old man. "Just now, my wife said that she wanted Fourth Brother to go to work at the high-speed rail manufacturing factory. She is short-staffed now. Fourth Brother should go over and lend a hand to her. We are all family, so we should help each other and save the trouble of hiring outsiders."
In this family, it can be said that no one knows Qin Changqing better than Qin Xiao. He is a soft-hearted person, has no opinions of his own, and is a good person.
"Your fourth brother doesn't understand either!" Xiao Yaling said.
Chen Congying advised, "If you don't understand, you can learn! Sister-in-law, don't worry about the children's affairs. It's better than going to the countryside. If Changqing goes to the countryside, it will really make people worry."
The old man was a little happy, "Did Xia Xia say that?"
He was worried that Qin Xiao asked Ji Xia to take action, which would be bad. His granddaughter-in-law was already busy and had a heavy burden on her shoulders. How could he bear to bother her with family matters?
