Chapter 619 Peach Blossom
Gu Qingshi could hear Taohua's disdain, but Lin Zhiyuan didn't seem to notice it. Because Taohua had helped him twice, he became attached to Taohua and blamed her for everything, which made Taohua very annoyed.
Taohua asked him to find an aunt to take care of him, since he was not short of money anyway, but Lin Zhiyuan said he was not used to it and was afraid of finding a bad one. However, Lin Zhiyuan was reminded of this and realized that it was not good for him to keep bothering Taohua like this, so he decided to hire Taohua to take care of his life and help him.
"He offered quite a lot of money, but I was a little hesitant about whether to accept it."
"Take it, why not? Even if you don't accept it, he will still bother you. Why work for nothing? Just think of it as making extra money." Gu Qingshi quickly gave advice.
"You don't have to think about working for me. As long as you think you can handle it and won't delay my work, you can take it."
Gu Qingshi is a generous boss, and her attitude encourages Taohua.
"Yes, I accept it then."
Taohua began to take care of Lin Zhiyuan and told Gu Qingshi that she could just take care of him as if he were a seven or eight-year-old child. When he was painting, she could just take care of him as if he were a three-year-old child, because sometimes she might need to feed him water and food. Once he got into the state, his heart followed suit.
However, after seeing Lin Zhiyuan's paintings, Taohua finally stopped disliking him. "Although he is bad at everything, he is really good at painting."
Some people only do one thing throughout their life, and doing it to the extreme is the best. Lin Zhiyuan may not be good at other things, but he is really good at painting. Taohua feels that watching him paint is a kind of healing.
"His paintings are very good. When I look at them and think about the past events, I don't feel so sad or angry anymore."
Lin Zhiyuan himself had experienced trauma, but stood up again. Compared with his previous paintings, his later paintings showed some changes. They were equally warm, but with a hint of sadness, but not too much. After looking at them more, you will feel healed.
Taohua took care of Lin Zhiyuan while he completed his first painting after his divorce. It was the first time she saw a painting being created with her own eyes, which shocked Taohua greatly. Seeing that she liked the painting, Lin Zhiyuan simply gave the painting to Taohua.
This was different from Lin Zhiyuan's help with the portrait painting in the park. He put his seal on it and it was truly completed. If it was taken outside, it could be sold for a high price, especially if changes were made to this painting, because Taohua already knew the relevant situation.
After hearing that Lin Zhiyuan wanted to give her a painting, she thought he was joking, but Lin Zhiyuan was serious. "It's not a joke. I paint for people to see. I can see from your eyes that you like it very much, understand it very much, and need it. In this case, I will give it to you. I have troubled you so much before, but you didn't give me a decent gift."
He was really grateful to Taohua, because it was Taohua that helped him and allowed him to get over it.
Taohua's words were never profound, but her words were always reasonable and always hit the point directly. He felt that he was far inferior to Taohua.
Seeing that he was serious, Taohua also told the truth, "Mr. Lin, I know you are Master Lin, I know your identity, and I know how much this painting is worth, so I can't accept it."
Lin Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, but he was not too surprised. "This has nothing to do with money. No matter how valuable it is, it was painted by me. Besides, if I don't sell it, it will be worthless. Giving it to you is the best place for it."
Taohua still confiscated it, but Lin Zhiyuan left it at the door of Taohua's house and left it there, telling her to throw it away if she didn't like it.
There were people coming and going in the alley, and children were running around everywhere, so the painting could be damaged accidentally. Taohua was frightened and quickly put the painting away.
However, it still felt unsafe to keep the painting in the alley, so Taohua finally moved the painting to Gu Qingshi's place.
"Sister, it's safer to put it in your house. I don't dare to put it in mine, for fear of losing it. I would be heartbroken if such a valuable painting was lost. It's more valuable than several houses. I would have to work for many, many years to earn it back."
Gu Qingshi had seen Lin Zhiyuan's paintings, and they were indeed beautiful, and just as Taohua had said, they made people feel healed and warm. This painting was finally hung in Taohua's room in Gu's house.
No one would have thought that a nanny assistant's room would be hung with paintings by contemporary masters. Occasionally, if someone saw them by chance, they would just think they were imitations.
People in the alley didn't know Lin Zhiyuan's identity, so they thought he was a useless divorced man. They couldn't stand him doing nothing, so they advised him every day to find a job and have an income.
Lin Zhiyuan stopped going to the park to paint. He felt that what they said made sense. Later, he actually found a job - working as an art teacher in a school.
Not to mention, this job is quite suitable for him. Lin Zhiyuan teaches two classes a week, is not busy, and still has a salary income.
The neighbors also thought this job was great, and they sent their children to learn painting from him. The tuition was the neighbors' own cooking or a bundle of vegetables, a few eggs and fried dough sticks, and they would share some delicious food with him from time to time.
If people outside knew that a master's tuition was so cheap, they would definitely find it unbelievable. However, this is the case in the alley. Lin Zhiyuan himself has no objection and even thinks it is a good deal. He has integrated into the community with his neighbors.
The alleys are inevitably noisy, but overall they are full of human touch, which is just right for Lin Zhiyuan.
Gu Qingshi heard a lot about Lin Zhiyuan from Taohua. Since Lin Zhiyuan moved there, Taohua talked the most about Lin Zhiyuan. Although he couldn't understand a lot of things, Gu Qingshi felt that Taohua seemed to talk too much.
But seeing that Taohua got along well with him, she didn't say anything.
When Lin Zhiyuan's life was getting back on track, Lu Yuan's leg finally recovered. This time he recovered very well, and it was completely invisible that he had been injured before.
By this time, it was already winter and Xiaoxiao was already ten months old.
Xiaoxiao learns to speak quite quickly. She can already clearly call out "Mommy" and "Daddy". She also likes to imitate sounds. She has been talking like Gu Qingshi or Lu Yuan Taohua. Occasionally, when she learns a new word, she will repeat it over and over again, perhaps because she finds it novel or something.
Occasionally, the words she learns are funny, and she keeps saying them which makes it seem very funny, for example, she will keep saying "hug you".
When Lu Yuan's leg was completely recovered, Xiaoxiao was learning Lu Yuan's name, and the word Lu Yuan would pop up from time to time.
"Just know that dad's name is Lu Yuan. Don't keep calling him Lu Yuan."
Xiaoxiao liked the name very much, so she called it again and then ran away in her walker.
The walker was made by my uncle. Xiaoxiao has good bone development, so the doctor said there will be no problem as long as she is not allowed to walk for too long.
Xiaoxiao likes to run around and loves the walker very much. She can run around all the time.
"Okay, Xiaoxiao, you've been running for quite a while today, we need to get off the walker."
Xiaoxiao came down. Because she was not very happy, Lu Yuan carried her on his neck and went to the yard to run and play with Dahuang. Now Xiaoxiao was completely happy.
