"What are you looking at?"
As Section Chief Li entered the office, he saw everyone gathered together and asked.
"Chief, you are here. We are looking at the draft of the blackboard newspaper drawn by Comrade Xiaolin. Look, it is really well drawn. It is completely different from the blackboard newspapers we have produced before." Yi Jiankang handed the pencil draft in his hand to Section Chief Li.
"Oh, really?"
Section Chief Li was skeptical, but he took the pencil draft and started reading it. He was very surprised when he saw it.
The entire pencil draft looks very simple and elegant. What is different from the past is that the design of the entire blackboard newspaper is not only full of text, but also interspersed with pictures, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
"Not bad, not bad, Xiaolin, your bulletin board design is different from our previous ones. It looks brand new. Besides the bulletin board, do you have anything else?"
Section Chief Li saw that they were holding several pieces of paper and started to ask.
"Section Chief Li, the situation is this: in addition to designing the bulletin board, I've also drawn a few pictures. We've always used slogans on the blank walls, but I feel like they're all pretty much the same. Our workers will inevitably get visually fatigued after looking at them for too long, and that's not conducive to promoting the Party's policies. So, I was thinking about combining pictures and text to innovate. I drew a few last night, and I'd like you to take a look at them today."
Several people handed all the pencil drafts in their hands to Section Chief Li. The more Section Chief Li looked at them, the more surprised he was. What a talent, really a talent. Why didn't they think of taking this approach before?
Look at this painting, the picture of workers working hard, and the slogan on the side, it is impressive at first glance.
The design of the National Day is also very consistent with the theme of this time. If these pictures can appear on the walls of their textile factory, I believe the superiors will definitely be impressed by their textile factory.
"Okay, very good, Xiaolin, your designs are all very good and refreshing. Let me take these draft papers to the factory director for his review. If he agrees, then the bulletin board and the wall will be designed according to your method."
Lin Siya was very happy to hear what Section Chief Li said, but then she thought of something.
"Chief Li, this is just an ordinary pencil draft. To get a better effect, it would be best to add color. It was too late yesterday, so I didn't add color. I was thinking, why don't I color these pictures and you take them to show the director? I think the effect will be better."
"Right, right, you're really thoughtful. Then hurry up and color these pictures. Do you have any paint?"
"Yes, Chief Li, I went to the provincial capital before and bought some paint there."
"Okay, we'll reimburse you for the paint."
Lin Siya was also very surprised to hear what Section Chief Li said. She had never thought that the paint fee would be reimbursed.
In fact, it was her inherent thinking that was at work. After all, in the 21st century, buying a set of paints was still quite cheap. But it was different now. This set of paints was not available for sale in the town. In the provincial capital, it would cost more than ten yuan to buy a set, which was equivalent to half a month's salary for an ordinary worker. For ordinary people, it was a very expensive thing.
After realizing this, Lin Siya did not refuse. She took out paint and pens from her bag and started coloring.
These pictures were not big, and she was very fast, so all the colors were applied in about an hour. The sun was very strong outside, and the drawings dried very quickly. When all the drawings were dry, they were taken away directly by Section Chief Li.
After finishing these things, Lin Siya was not idle either. She took the paint and went to help Ji Qingqing.
After a day's work yesterday, Ji Jingqing is now completely adept at painting.
"Why are you here? Are all the colors ready?"
"It's ready. It's been taken away by Section Chief Li."
"Si Ya, you are amazing. I wish I could draw like you. Who did you learn to draw from?"
"I learned it from one of my former teachers!" When the original owner was in junior high school, he did have a Chinese teacher who was very good at drawing.
"Oh, why haven't I met such a teacher?" Ji Qingqing sighed.
"My teacher had been abroad before, so he knew all this. He could speak foreign languages and taught us foreign languages. It's a pity that he was sent down to the countryside a few years ago. I don't know what's happening to him now."
After hearing what Lin Siya said, Ji Qingqing fell silent. She could imagine what the fate of a teacher who had been abroad would be.
"Okay, let's stop talking and get to work." Lin Siya knew what she was thinking. There was nothing she could do. If she wanted to blame someone, she could only blame this era.
She put on her clothes inside out, picked up a brush, dipped it in paint, and started to work.
"Siya, why are your clothes so weird?" Ji Qingqing saw Lin Siya wearing a strange-looking dress with several patches on it.
"This is called reverse-dressing. I made it myself, altering old clothes. We've been dealing with paint every day these days, so it's inevitable that the clothes will get dirty, so I brought this dress with me. I usually wear it when I cook to avoid getting the fumes on me."
"Hey, why didn't I think of that? When I went home yesterday, there were a few drops of paint on my clothes, and no matter how hard I washed, they wouldn't come off. So today I deliberately wore an old set of clothes. But yours is more convenient. When I go home tonight, I'll have my mom make me one too."
"You can make one. After all, we'll all be dealing with these paints in the coming time. It would be a shame if our clothes were stained with these paints and couldn't be washed off."
"That's true."
The two of them were in high spirits, chatting while working, and the work was done very quickly. In just one morning, they finished all the remaining parts from yesterday, which was much faster than yesterday.
Both of them were covered in a lot of paint. Ji Qingqing was glad that she was wearing an old set of clothes today. If it was the same as yesterday, another set of clothes would probably be ruined.
But when she thought about having to go to the cafeteria to eat in these dirty clothes, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She looked at Lin Siya with envy. Lin Siya's way of wearing clothes backwards was good. You see, after finishing work, she just had to take off the dirty clothes on the outside, and the inside was still clean.
No, no, she must ask her mother to help her change one when she goes back home in the evening, otherwise she will have to wear dirty clothes every day for the rest of the time.
