"Sister Xiao, you look a lot haggard," as if you didn't notice Xiao Hui's gaze, Xiao Yan went up and grabbed Xiao Hui's hand naturally and said with concern: "We don't want to see Teacher Wu's death, but... don't be too sad./"

Xiao Hui and Wu Zuoren's father-daughter relationship was obviously very good. When Xiao Yan mentioned her father, although Mr. Wu Zuoren had passed away for three or four months, her eyes suddenly turned red, but she still forced a smile and said, "I know... I've neglected the guest, Xiao Yan, who is this?"

"Hello, Teacher Xiao, I am Director Xiao's friend." Lin Zheng stepped forward politely and said respectfully.

Although Xiao Hui's artistic achievements are incomparable to her father and mother, Lin Zheng has to give her enough respect even for the sake of Mr. Wu and Mr. Xiao.

"It's Xiao Yan's friend," Xiao Hui nodded with a smile, her eyes surfed Xiao Yan and Lin Zheng twice, then nodded and said, "Please, at home."

"Thank you, Teacher Xiao." Lin Zheng said politely.

Looking at Lin Zheng's calm and composed actions, Xiao Hui was secretly surprised. The young man in front of him obviously knew the situation and background of his family. No matter what the customers on weekdays were all polite, they were a little too polite, but the young man in front of him was completely different. Although his behavior was very polite and polite, he was full of confidence in every move. It would be fine if he was a middle-aged man with a successful career, but he looked only twenty-four or five years old. Although his temperament and manners seemed to be in a high position. But how could this be possible? I know this young Junyan in the capital, why have I never heard of such a person? But... I seem to have seen this face somewhere?

Lin Zheng's face did make Xiao Hui feel a little familiar. It seemed that she had seen it somewhere.

But as soon as this idea came out, Xiao Hui shook her head twice and threw this ridiculous idea out of her mind: How is this possible? This is a very outstanding young man. If I had seen him before, how could he have no impression at all?

"You're welcome." Xiao Hui touched the corner of her mouth with a smile. After realizing that this young man was of extraordinary origin, she subconsciously became a little polite: Anyway, she was a little polite and couldn't die, right?

Xiao Yan didn't know that so many thoughts had passed through Xiao Hui's heart in the past few seconds. She asked her in a low voice: "Sister Xiao, how about Auntie?"

"After dad left, mom was in a bad mood." Xiao Hui smiled bitterly and said, "You know, their relationship is not easy, so..."

"I know." Xiao Yan knew that she was wronged and felt a little embarrassed.

The relationship between Mr. Wu Zuoren and Mr. Xiao Shufang is a long-standing legend in the literary and artistic circles: After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Wu Zuoren was hired as a tenured professor by the Ministry of Education of the National Government and achieved remarkable achievements in art. His wife Li Na died of postpartum stomach cramps due to poor medical conditions during the War of Resistance Against Japan and died of postpartum stomach cramps. His son also died unexpectedly. All his works were destroyed by Japanese plane bombing. It can be said that he suffered the pain of losing his wife and children, and his heart was ruined.

Ms. Xiao Shufang, an old classmate who studied in Xu Beihong Painting Academy with the old man, was in a difficult and difficult situation in her personal life: he was infected with peritonitis due to cecum surgery and caused tuberculosis, and he had a fever of more than 40 degrees every evening. In the early morning, he sweated and subsided, and the fever was repeated. At this time, he had been ill for three years, and even the best doctors in Shanghai at that time had no choice but to leave her, but her husband abandoned her during the serious illness. He could be said to be discouraged by love and life.

Perhaps God could not stand the experience of these two talented people. Mr. Wu Zuoren, who was holding an art exhibition in Shanghai at that time, met his old classmate. The meeting of the two caused a story in later generations: Mr. Wu said to Ms. Xiao Shufang affectionately: "It will be too late to fall in love again, and our lives will be reduced day by day." This sentence is to say in a more popular saying several years later, "If we don't love each other, we will get old."

At this point, two people with similar pain and common aspirations finally got married and tied up the knot under the witness of their common mentor Mr. Xu Beihong.

The two have experienced so much together, and the deep relationship can be imagined. Xiao Yan, in her teenage years, was extremely envious of the couple who taught her to draw. She secretly imagined countless times alone. If she had such a relationship in her life, she would be willing to live for 30 years less. If others were like this, it would be imagined how great the death of Mr. Wu Zuoren would have on Ms. Xiao Shufang.

Xiao Hui didn't know that so many thoughts had passed through her little sister's heart, and she whispered to her: "I know you're here, my mother must be very happy..."

Before he finished speaking, a clear but slightly tired voice sounded in the room: "Xiaohui, who is it?"

After squeezing his nose, Xiao Hui tried hard to make her voice sound a little happier: "Mom, you absolutely couldn't imagine who came to see you."

"Who can come to see me as an old lady except my old friends and you..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yan was unhappy and walked into the room two steps and said, "Auntie Xiao, why did you forget me? Can I still see you, right?"

"Little Swallow, is it you?" Seeing Xiao Yan, Ms. Xiao Shufang was obviously stunned for a moment, then she looked surprised and waved to Xiao Yan to signal her to come to her: "Why are you here? Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, let the aunt take a good look at you... Oh, our little Swallow is getting younger and younger now, and I don't know who will be cheaper, and I smile foolishly..."

Lin Zheng looked at all this with a smile and felt very peaceful: it can be seen that Xiao Yan and Ms. Xiao Shufang have a very good relationship, and there is even a mother-daughter relationship between them...

"Their relationship is very good, right?" At some point, Xiao Hui stood beside Lin Zheng, looked at the two people who were intimate, and asked Lin Zheng in a low voice.

"Yes." Lin Zheng nodded.

"Can you tell me how you and Xiao Yan met?" Xiao Hui turned her head and looked at Lin Zheng, with a bit of scrutiny and curiosity in her eyes: "To be honest, this is the first time I have seen her bring a male friend to my mother."

"Well..." After hesitating for a moment, Lin Zheng still said: "Strictly speaking, I am..."

"Aunt Xiao, I'll introduce you to a friend," Before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Xiao Yan pulled Lin Zheng's sleeve and pulled Lin Zheng to Ms. Xiao Shufang and said happily: "This is a friend I know in Langya City, Lin Zheng, Lin Zheng, this is Aunt Xiao I often mention to you."

Lin Zheng bowed deeply to her: "Hello Aunt Xiao."

"You are okay," compared to his enthusiasm for Xiao Yan, Xiao Shufang's attitude towards Lin Zheng was only average. He nodded to Lin Zheng politely and said to Xiao Yan: "Girl, come, go to the aunt's room, let's talk well."

"This..." Xiao Yan hesitated and couldn't help but look at Lin Zheng.

It was true! Seeing Xiao Yan's action, Ms. Xiao Shufang couldn't help but sigh in her heart. For her who had lived for more than 80 years, what else can be hidden in this world? Just as the two of them entered the door, she had noticed the unusualness between Xiao Yan and this young man. Although Xiao Yan was trying her best to avoid exposing her relationship with this young man, Xiao Shufang could easily judge it based on just a few subtle actions that Xiao Yan's relationship with this young man was absolutely extraordinary. Now she tried it gently and it was true. If there was no love between the two of them, she would not believe anything.

I'm afraid it's not just a relationship between men and women. Judging from Xiao Yanzi's appearance, it's clear that the love has been deeply rooted in this kid. This child is still too impulsive. This is what makes Xiao Shufang the most troublesome: if the genders of two people are reversed, it doesn't matter, but women are so much older than men. Xiao Yan's child is already almost 40 years old. How many years can he maintain his youth? Once you get old and he is the best era of his life, how could he continue to stay with you?

In view of this, she thought she had to talk to Xiao Yan about this matter.

Ms. Xiao Shufang, who had already passed by her mind, smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that we are talking. Xiao Hui, please treat this Mr. Lin well."

After saying this, she frowned slightly: Lin Zheng? This name seems to be familiar?

"Okay, mom," Looking at Xiao Yan who was supporting her mother into the bedroom, Xiao Hui smiled at Lin Zheng and asked, "Mr. Lin, what are you drinking? Tea or..."

The last pause was obviously to hand over the choice to Lin Zheng. Of course, it was also possible that the other party had not intended to entertain himself too enthusiastically.

Of course Lin Zheng wouldn't mind this. He was a boy who had no interaction with him and rashly entered his house and didn't drive him out directly. What else do you want? He said politely: "You are polite, I'm not thirsty."

Xiao Hui was indeed so polite. Lin Zheng said she was not thirsty. She still took advantage of the situation and sat down. She tilted her head and looked at Lin Zheng, and said bluntly: "Mr. Lin, can you tell me the question just now?"

The implication is that you'd better give me an answer, otherwise your affairs may not be so smooth today... A few of the ten strangers who came to his home for no reason came to ask their parents for calligraphy. Over the years, Xiao Hui has seen so many of them.

Tsk... Lin Zheng couldn't help but frown, feeling a little unhappy: Are artists' children so disagreeable? But I came to ask for help today, so it's not appropriate to just sway my sleeves. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
