Chapter 146 The Exchange Meeting Begins



Gu Chengze also maintained a good exercise habit outside. He went out for a run and bought breakfast.

After dinner, the two went to Lingnan University together.

As a family member, Gu Chengze could only wait outside and was not allowed to enter the conference room.

Chen Zhuhua: "Comrade Gu can wait in the next classroom."

This was the first time the newspaper held an exchange meeting. The leaders above attached great importance to it and took all aspects into consideration.

We applied for an extra empty classroom to facilitate family activities.

Gu Chengze: "Okay, I'll wait next door and come find you after class."

"Comrade Gu, don't worry. I will definitely protect Jingshu."

After spending a morning together, Chen Zhuhua had a certain understanding of their true identities.

I was filled with respect when I learned that Lin Jingshu was a military wife.

There were already three or five people sitting in the classroom, talking to each other.

After Lin Jingshu entered, she found a seat by the window and sat down.

As soon as she came in, there was a flash of surprise in the eyes of everyone present, and even some young men were eager to try her.

But before she could take any action, she saw a tall man coming in from outside and heading straight for her position.

"Why are you here?"

Gu Chengze shook the kettle in his hand and said, "I'm afraid you're thirsty, so I brought some water over."

As he spoke, he glanced around and everyone avoided his sight.

What is the relationship between these two people? They are too close.

Seeing that it worked, Gu Chengze left satisfied.

As the meeting time got closer, more and more people filled the classroom.

Chen Zhuhua carefully checked the list of attendees and found that one person was absent.

"Director, there are still two people who haven't arrived."

The director frowned and asked, "Where do these two people live? Did they reply to the letter?"

"I'm back. My home is local."

They added people to the list just because they were close by and were willing to come.

"No, I'll go up and speak first."

We can't waste everyone's time just because of one or two people.

"Hurry up, Lao Er, we're going to be late."

I saw a burly woman holding a child in her arms, followed by a little girl of seven or eight years old, running towards this side quickly.

The loud voice attracted the attention of everyone sitting in the classroom, and everyone looked out the window.

Hu Danniu hurried to the door, her chest heaving and her forehead covered in sweat. She wiped it off carelessly and said with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, I'm late."

Chen Zhuhua: "Are you Comrade Hu Daniu?"

She remembered that when she was communicating with Hu Danniu, she mentioned that she wanted to bring the child with her.

Hu Danniu said in a loud voice, "Yes, I am Hu Danniu."

"Great, I've been waiting for you."

Chen Zhuhua looked at the child in her arms and felt a little embarrassed. "How about you put the child next door first? We have comrades to help watch over him."

"It doesn't matter, I'll just let my second son watch it."

She called out behind her, "Second brother, watch over your little sister. I'll take you to a restaurant when I'm done."

When the girl called Lao Er heard the words "going to a restaurant", her physical fatigue instantly disappeared, and the resounding assurance allowed her to go without worry.

"Comrade Hu, please go in. I'll take the children next door."

When the people in the classroom saw her come in, they all avoided her sight. This group of people prided themselves on being elegant and thought Hu Danniu looked like a country peasant woman. It was shameful to sit with such a person.

Everyone came here with the purpose of making connections, and they didn't see any use for Hu Danniu.

Hu Danniu didn't care. She looked around the classroom and saw an empty seat, so she quickly walked over and sat down.

"Hello comrade, can I sit here?"

Having gone to bed late last night, Lin Jingshu leaned against the window, feeling a little sleepy as the sun shone through.

If Hu Danniu hadn't spoken suddenly, she would probably have fallen asleep.

"Of course, there's no one in this position."

Hu Danniu was overjoyed to see that she didn't despise her.

When the time came, even though some people had not arrived yet, the director did not wait and directly stood on the podium to start speaking.

The main purpose of this exchange meeting is to share one's own creative experience and techniques. Everyone can speak freely and express their inner thoughts.

After the meeting, everyone needs to submit a meeting summary, which is equivalent to the meeting report of this exchange meeting.

There were a total of twenty or thirty people in the classroom, mostly men, with only four women.

As soon as the director finished speaking, everyone gathered around and formed an independent small circle.

"Hello, my name is Lin Miao, what's your name?"

Lin Jingshu looked up and saw a girl with twin ponytails standing in front of her, extending her hand to greet her.

Lin Jingshu returned the handshake and said with a smile, "My name is Lin Jingshu."

Lin Miao: "Your last name is Lin too. Maybe we were one family five hundred years ago."

Lin Miao is a lively person. With her presence, the atmosphere became lively and everyone quickly became familiar with each other. They took turns introducing themselves.

"My name is Li Honghong, I'm 28 years old, and I work in a printing factory."

"My name is Tong Xiao, I'm 20 years old, and I'm a student at Lingnan University."

"My name is Lin Jingshu, and I'm a military wife."

"You are all amazing. My name is Hu Daniu, and I am just a country girl."

Hu Danniu looked at her hands which were cracked from hard work, and felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.

Lin Jingshu noticed her embarrassment and changed the subject, "Are you all local?"

Li Honghong: "I'm from Guangzhou."

Tong Xiao also quickly said: "Me too, I heard that most of the people invited this time are from nearby."

She noticed that Lin Jingshu didn't mention where she was from, so she asked curiously, "Is Sister Jingshu also in Guangzhou?"

Lin Jingshu shook her head. "I'm on an island, and my husband is a soldier."

"Are you married?"

Tong Xiao's pupils widened and his mouth opened in surprise. She looked about the same age as him and didn't look like she was married at all.

Lin Jingshu smiled and nodded.

Afraid that she would ask too many questions, he turned the conversation to the meeting.

The newspaper staff distributed newspapers to everyone and everyone passed them around.

"Sister Da Niu, you draw so well." Li Honghong said.

Hu Danniu is the oldest among them, and everyone calls her sister.

When talking about painting, Hu Danniu's eyes lit up.

"I used to draw when I had nothing to do, following the old uncle in the village. He draws better than me."

My uncle is from another place. I heard from the older generation that he used to be a teacher for the children of landlords and also went abroad to study. However, due to the changing times, he returned to the small mountain village.

When Hu Da Nv was a child, she felt sorry for him and secretly brought him food. When her uncle saw that she liked painting, he took the initiative to teach her.

It’s a pity that Hu Danniu got married soon after she became an adult, and her painting skills gradually became rusty.

It was not until after the divorce that I picked up painting again.

“So inspiring.”

After listening to Hu Danniu's story, Li Honghong couldn't help but burst into tears.

As women themselves, they knew the difficulty behind Hu Danniu's few words.

Several people opened up and had a very happy conversation.

Lin Jingshu listened to their stories, and inspiration slowly came to her mind. She thought that she would be able to start a new painting when she returned this time.
