Chapter 145 Target
Not long after, the neighboring 803 posted a resale notice, and the 33-square-meter one-bedroom apartment was priced at 100,000 yuan.
Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren thought about it for a long time and decided not to repay the loan in advance and bought the house next door.
The next day after Teacher Xie’s ex-husband completed the transfer procedures, he left with a suitcase and no one knew where he went.
Occasionally, when someone mentions this matter, they can't help but sigh.
After buying the house, Wang Xiuren was not in a hurry to open it up. It was just an extra door, which was not very troublesome.
The old couple moved their luggage and bedding to the next door, leaving space 802 for the young family.
This way, you never have to worry about not having enough accommodation.
As for Taoyuanju, let’s leave it there for now! Although the water and electricity problems have been solved, the smell from the garbage dump and the distance from Wang Shan to school are still a problem for the time being.
As per previous years’ custom, the old couple took Lin Hui back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year, and Lin Ping’s family also went back. Liuliu is already one and a half years old, and it’s time for him to go back to his hometown to burn incense to his ancestors.
So this year, as usual, our family of three will celebrate the New Year in Pengcheng.
The art class that Wang Shan signed up for was on holiday during the Chinese New Year, but the teacher still assigned them tasks, so the family of three would check in at the newsstand every day and then go straight to various parks to sketch.
The weather in Pengcheng is good, and the park is bustling with people coming and going.
But Wang Shan has always had a good concentration. As long as she has paper and pen in her hands, she is difficult to be disturbed and usually sits for an entire morning.
However, Lin Qiu and his wife used this time to visit the park thoroughly.
It is not uncommon to see children under the age of ten appearing in the park with drawing boards on their backs, sketching. But being able to remain unaffected by the surrounding environment is not easy.
From time to time, someone would come over to look at her paintings. Occasionally, she would notice it and smile shyly.
Lin Qiu sometimes felt that Wang Shan was born to do this job. When she sat here with her drawing board, her whole body instantly became quiet and even the wind seemed to become gentle.
Wang Shan herself prefers to paint outdoors. She feels more comfortable and relaxed when painting outside, although sometimes people coming and going will block the scenery she wants to paint.
She suddenly said to Lin Qiu: "Mom, can I draw while reading?"
Lin Qiu was stunned, because neither the Wang family nor the Lin family had ever produced anyone who had anything to do with art.
Although Wang Shan has loved painting since she was a child, Lin Qiu's starting point was that he hoped she would have a hobby to relieve the stress and trivialities of study, work and life in the future.
Although Wang Shan has always ranked first in exams for three years in elementary school, elementary school grades do not count. If I had continued to spend half of my energy on studying and the other half on drawing in junior high and high school like I do now, it would have been impossible for me to maintain good grades.
Maybe other families have geniuses who have both qualities, but I know my own child well, and Wang Shan is definitely not a genius. Therefore, it is really a challenge for her to catch up with both.
Lin Qiu replied: "Of course you can choose that, but if you want to study and paint at the same time, you will have to spend a lot more time and energy than you do now."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "When you were in the capital, didn't you agree to apply to Capital University and Tsinghua University? The academic requirements for these two universities are very high."
Wang Shan pondered for a long time. She liked both universities very much, but she didn't want to give up painting. She frowned and said, "Then I'll think about it again!"
Lin Qiu looked at his daughter who was talking like a little adult and couldn't help but touch her head gently.
It's not impossible for my daughter to pursue a career in art. Anyway, she and Wang Xiuren can afford it in this life. When housing prices go up in the future, the family's income will also increase. A child can try any path she wants, and she has the cost of trial and error.
Money can give people courage. Lin Qiu is now very tolerant towards Wang Shan. Unlike in his previous life, he was afraid that she would repeat the fate of her parents, so he paid special attention to her studies.
After all, in her previous life, her daughter could only have a future by studying hard, but now she has her parents to provide for her.
Wang Shan now also feels caught in a dilemma, finding it difficult to balance both studying and painting.
After Lin Ting and Zhou Qing brought the fatter Lin Hui back to the city, she ran into the next door that night.
The old couple had been on the train for a whole day and had originally planned to rest early, but when they saw their granddaughter coming, they were still very welcoming.
"Grandpa, I want to ask you a question." Wang Shan frowned her delicate eyebrows.
Lin Ting pulled her to sit on the sofa left by the previous owner, "No hurry, take your time."
Wang Shan felt that what was bothering her was a big problem, so she put her legs together, put her hands on her knees, and with a serious face, told him the problem that had been bothering her for many days.
What kind of problem is this? It's so difficult.
In his opinion, studying hard is the right way to go, and painting is just a little spice in life.
But on second thought, the times are obviously different now, and perhaps all roads lead to Rome. He cannot mislead his granddaughter.
So he answered: "Grandpa can't answer this question either, but don't worry, go to bed first. Grandpa will go and ask for you tomorrow, and there will definitely be someone who can help us answer it."
Wang Shan went back with a disappointed face, thinking that this was really a big problem! Grandpa doesn’t know the answer either!
Regarding this question, Lin Ting found the art teacher at the Youth Activity Center to help answer it.
The art teacher at the youth activity center graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and now teaches at Pengcheng University. After she was found by Lin Ting, she looked at Wang Shan who was concentrating on painting in the classroom. She didn't expect that such a young child would already start thinking about her future.
After class, she kept Wang Shan and brought her to her office.
Wang Shan felt a little uneasy because bad things always happened in the teacher's office.
The art teacher touched her head and said with a smile: "Student Wang Shan, your grandfather has told me your problem. Let me tell you, you can apply to the Academy of Fine Arts, so that you can study and paint without delay."
Academy of Fine Arts?
Wang Shan looked puzzled, "But I want to apply to Capital University and Tsinghua University."
The teacher didn't intend to raise the child's goal so high, but still patiently explained: "Both schools have art majors, and the Academy of Fine Arts at Tsinghua University is one of the most famous art academies in the country."
“Is it difficult to pass the exam?” Wang Shan was a little unconfident.
The teacher encouraged: "If you want it, then work hard. Nothing is difficult in the world if you set your mind to it!"
The teacher thought about the time when he took the college entrance examination. Since he decided to pursue art, he had to squeeze time out of a sponge. He had to spare enough time to draw every day and ensure good grades.
When I didn’t draw well or got unsatisfactory results, I broke down and cried countless times.
Thinking that the girl might encounter the same situation in the future, the teacher added a few more words: "If you are really determined to learn both, then you can't give up halfway. The road ahead may be difficult, but if you persist, you will succeed!"
"I am not afraid of hardship, I will definitely stick to it!" Wang Shan did not understand the pressure of academic and professional studies for the time being, and answered confidently.
After that, he bowed politely to the teacher and said loudly: "Thank you, teacher!"
The problem that had troubled her for a long time was solved. Wang Shan returned home holding her grandfather's hand with a relaxed mood and announced her goal during dinner.
Everyone looked at each other and immediately expressed encouragement and support.
"Are you really planning to let Shanshan pursue a career in art? There are many people who study painting, but few of them are famous. This path is not easy to follow!" Wang Xiuren sighed with his hands behind his head.
Lin Qiu was applying skin care products, pressing her face with her fingertips while saying, "Let her try first. If she can keep up in junior high school, then she can learn both. As long as it doesn't affect her college entrance exams!"
"Then let her try it first! I didn't expect that we two peasants would give birth to a painter." Wang Xiuren smiled foolishly.
"Don't be too happy yet. I've asked around. If you really want to study art, it's not cheap!" Lin Qiu put away the skin care products and lifted the thin blanket. "You still have to work hard to make money, dad!"
"As long as she can learn, I will support her even if it costs my life!" Wang Xiuren muttered.
"This is my only precious baby, I have to raise him well!" Lin Qiu closed his eyes, "Go to sleep!"
Wang Xiuren also closed his eyes.
