"Sister-in-law, you are so amazing. I will definitely help you promote your business and introduce clients to you."

Jiang Yi watched Xu Linfeng leave, and immediately started communicating with Ye Xiaoxiao again.

Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head. "No need to be so positive. You should wish the people around you good health."

Besides, she didn't need such a reputation. She was already very satisfied to be able to study quietly.

Jiang Yi said in a low voice: "It doesn't necessarily have to be my relatives around me, and I introduced them to you, and those people took advantage of it. Who doesn't want to be treated properly?"

"Okay, okay, as long as you're happy."

Ye Xiaoxiao said helplessly.

Jiang Yi has a lively personality. "Sister-in-law, when Xiaoxin gets better, we will treat you to a meal together."

"There's no need to worry about that. Just take good care of your health."

After seeing Zhang Runxin's recovery, Ye Xiaoxiao let him stay in the hospital with confidence, and told him to call her if he had any problems.

At this time, it is still half a month away from New Year's Day.

Ye Xiaoxiao went back to the hospital. On New Year's Day, her parents-in-law, grandfather and grandmother all had to attend some official activities.

Old Mrs. Lu said, "We are going to participate in the New Year's Day performance. We are the ones being condoled, and many young people will perform for us."

Mr. Lu said: "If Xiaoxiao has nothing to do, let's go together."

Both elderly people were picked up and dropped off by guards, so Ye Xiaoxiao didn't have to worry about their safety.

"I won't go. Grandpa and grandma should watch the show happily."

Mrs. Lu: "Happy, of course I am happy. I used to stand on the stage, but now it's my turn to sit down and watch others perform."

Ye Xiaoxiao thought the old lady's tone of voice was very endearing.

Despite saying this, the old lady still misses her youth very much.

The arts soldiers back then were different from those now. They had carried guns and fought in battles.

Ye Xiaoxiao stayed in the hospital for one night and left early the next morning.

As soon as she got home, she received a call from Miao Cuifang.

"Mom, you're looking for trouble with me."

Miao Cuifang: "Xiaoxiao, I want to ask you something."

Ye Xiaoxiao heard the other party's tone was quite serious, "Mom, you go ahead."

Miao Cuifang: "Xiaoxiao, am I not helping your second brother and his wife take care of their children in Shen City? Your second brother and his wife are now working, and she is worried that I am tired, so she hired a nanny to help.

Using my place, when I have nothing to do, I go to the park for a walk, write, and draw some landscape paintings.

But recently, a sister who I often go for walks with came to me and said that she wanted to buy my paintings and would give me 500 yuan for each painting.

This can’t be a lie.”

Ye Xiaoxiao knew that her mother was good at calligraphy and Chinese painting. Not to mention, all the embroidery patterns in the village were painted by Miao Cuifang.

But she didn't know whether it was worth the money.

"Mom, please send me a few of your paintings and I'll ask my friends to appraise them.

But when it comes to art, it all depends on everyone’s taste.”

Ye Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and then said, "Tell me the name of that person and I'll ask my friends to listen to it."

Miao Cuifang: "Okay, I just paint casually, but if I sell them, I have to use the paper and paint provided by the other party. I am a little nervous, afraid of wasting the other party's things."

Ye Xiaoxiao comforted the other party, "Since the other party is willing to let you paint, he must like your style of painting. Maybe he likes this relaxed and casual feeling. If you are too strict, it will not have that effect."

After hearing this, Miao Cuifang became even more nervous, "Then...what should I do? Otherwise, I will refuse."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Mom, our family is not short of money, you just need to relax and keep a normal mind. If you can draw well, it will be the icing on the cake. If you can't draw well, don't worry about losing anything."

Miao Cuifang was comforted, "You are right, Xiaoxiao, Mom is not nervous anymore. As long as the other party is not a bad person, I will give her a painting for free."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Mom, I'm glad you think so."

Miao Cuifang: "I will mail you the painting in a while. I will also mail you some of these Japanese specialties. The sausage at home is ready. I will mail you some more."

Ye Xiaoxiao asked the other party not to work too hard, and told Miao Cuifang that she would be able to go back to her grandfather's hometown later.

"That's as it should be, after all, you are the daughter-in-law of the Lu family." Miao Cuifang said, "In fact, we are still unsure where we will spend the night today. Jia Jia is so young, it will be too painful for her to go back to her hometown.

It's okay inside the house, but it's too cold on the road. If it snows, it will be unsafe to drive.

I have discussed with your second brother, and we are going to live in Shen City now."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Mom, you are right, but are you going to live in Shen City? What about my dad and brother?"

The Ye family probably has never been separated.

Although Ye Jianguo is open-minded, his hometown is relatively traditional.

What's more, his grandparents are still in their hometown, so he must go back to visit them for the sake of his son.

As for Miao Cuifang, she would definitely be thinking about her own children in her hometown when she was in Shen City, and she would be thinking about her second son's family when she was in her hometown. Things could never be resolved satisfactorily.

Miao Cuifang: "So we are still discussing it. If I can't go back, then let your brother take grandma over to live with us."

"I think it would be better if you all come to Beijing. My grandparents won't be back home for another month. My third brother and I will have a room here, so the whole family can live together then."

Ye Xiaoxiao thought this was a good idea. "The weather in the capital is still warm."

It is much warmer than Shiraishi Village and Shen City, and you can wear light clothing indoors.

"Oh." Miao Cuifang laughed, "Then it's running farther and farther."

"Mom, please think about it. My third brother will definitely be happy. After you come, you can urge my third brother to do his life-long affairs. Otherwise, he will not be in a hurry at all."

Ye Xiaoxiao acted coquettishly on the phone, and finally Miao Cuifang said that she would discuss it with her family and try to make everyone satisfied.

…

A week later, Ye Xiaoxiao received a package from the post office. In it, besides some food and a letter, there were also a few paintings wrapped in brown paper.

Among Ye Xiaoxiao's friends, only Su Tong and Jiang Yi are artists, so she found time to show these paintings to the two of them separately.

Ye Xiaoxiao and Su Tongxiao hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she asked them to meet in her own yard.

This was Su Tong 껩놆’s first time here, and as an art student, she fell in love with this place at first sight.

In particular, the herbs in the sunroom in the backyard have already grown out, and they are full of vitality in the winter.

There are so many rooms and the indoors are all warm.

Ye Xiaoxiao set up a small tea stove in the living room, and the two of them sat around the stove, brewing tea and chatting about life.

"I want you to come and help me with a few paintings."

Su Tong held the teacup in his hand and chuckled, "You are so polite to me. Let me see what you are painting."
