"What? Xiaolin, you mean these two paintings are expensive? How expensive are they? Could it be... worth several thousand yuan?"
Mother Su, who had no idea about famous paintings, tore open the kraft paper wrapping the two paintings, took the two paintings in her hands, looked at them carefully, picked them up again, showed them to her husband Su Guorong at the dinner table, and said , "Old Su, look at these two paintings, they are not very good-looking! This painting seems to be the scene of our Xiaolin saving grandma Yanran, and this one is more miserable. Take a look... This train is going to hit someone. , Why are there so many people cutting wheat next to you? Don’t you know how to help others? "
The color tone of the oil paintings is slightly gray. Even if some oil paintings use bright pigments, they still have an indescribable sense of simplicity and dust. This made Su’s mother, who likes red, purple, bright and festive styles, not very fond of these two oil paintings. In particular, although these two oil paintings were only scenes of people rescuing people and thrilling scenes, and did not involve any blood types, they still made Su's mother feel that such paintings were not suitable to hang in her home.
After casually throwing the two paintings on the sofa, Su's mother pointed to the printed version of "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping" bought from a street stall for a few dollars on the wall of her home, as well as "Portrait of **" ", and Su's father's favorite painting "The Ten Marshals of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", he said to Su Lin: "Xiao Lin! You said these two oil paintings are very valuable? Why can't I see it? I look at it and they are worse than What about these paintings in our living room? Look at the "Thousands of Horses Galloping", how powerful it is. Look at this horse, it's so powerful. Your mother and I are born in the year of the horse, and I feel very friendly just looking at this horse. And this one "Portrait of **", the red sun behind it is so festive! With ** protecting our family, isn't our family's life getting better and better?"
"Yes! Xiao Lin, there is also this painting of the "Ten Founding Marshals", which are all the founding generals of our country, and they are all generals with great military exploits. With their evil aura shaking our house, no monsters or monsters dare to come in. .”
Su's father also smiled and pointed to the "Ten Founding Marshals" on the wall, agreeing with Su's mother's point of view and said, "I think your mother is right. The two oil paintings you brought back. Dad doesn't think they are good either. !”
"Second uncle, second aunt, that's not how you see it."
At this time, Han Lingling, the cute little loli cousin who had been eating rice, raised her head. Blinking his big, watery eyes. retorted. "The words posted on this wall were all bought by my second aunt for a few dollars on the street. They are all printed works in the factory, and they cost only a few cents. What is the value? And brother Xiaolin bought it from sister Yanran The two oil paintings I brought home were both made by famous painters. I think they should be very valuable. Each of the oil paintings by famous painters in our art books is worth several million! Look! Xiao Lin The two oil paintings my brother brought back must be worth tens of thousands of dollars..."
"What? Tens of thousands of yuan? Just these two paintings are worth tens of thousands of yuan? Lingling, don't scare your second aunt... "
Mother Su couldn't believe that just two paintings cost tens of thousands of dollars. They were not antiques, but just new paintings by Grandma Yanran and her students. How much is this worth? From Su's mother's point of view, the paintings that Han Lingling said were so valuable are usually the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hundreds or thousands of years ago. Those calligraphy and paintings are already masterpieces through the ages. They are basically in the same category as antiques, so of course they are valuable.
"That's right! If these two paintings are so valuable, wouldn't Grandma Yanran be rich? Painting a few paintings every day is more than what we can earn from a lifetime of hard work."
Father Su also said something.
Su Lin almost laughed as he watched. He didn't know whether he should tell his parents the true value of these two paintings. He is really afraid that he will scare his parents, and it will be hard to eat and sleep uneasily.
However, Su Lin was not going to say anything, but Mother Su seemed to want to find out and know the true value of these two paintings, so she pulled Su Lin and asked: "Xiao Lin, please tell mom in detail. These two paintings How much is the painting worth? If it is really worth tens of thousands of dollars as Lingling said, we cannot accept such a heavy gift. Moreover, my mother would not dare to hang such a precious painting, and it cannot be used as a heirloom. Just as tight?"
"this… "
Su Lin hesitated for a moment, but decided not to reveal the value of these two paintings to his parents for the time being. He smiled, patted his mother's hand, and reassured her: "Mom, just hang it up with confidence. . The value of these two paintings is not tens of thousands of dollars. I just said that these two paintings are very valuable because they were the results of two or three days of painting by Yanran’s grandma at such an old age specifically to thank me. And the other one This painting was painted by his student Master Liu Yizhi for nearly six months before it was completed. You said that the painting that someone spent so much effort on was given to our family. This thought alone is very important. It’s expensive, right?”
"Ah! What's the name of this painting? There's a train and a wheat field on it, and it actually took six months and nearly half a year to paint it? It seems that painting is really the work of those artists, just inside the factory Ask me to sketch out a model on paper. I'm too lazy to draw it, so I can do it in a few minutes."
Mother Su exclaimed in surprise, and then said to Su Lin, "You have worked so hard on this painting, Xiao Lin, what do you think we should do? Hide it like a treasure? Or really hang it up?"
"Hang it up!" Su Lin pointed to the cheap pictures on the wall and said with a smile, "We also want to hang some tasteful oil paintings. This is their intention for us, so we have to show it. Just hang it up. !”
"Then if it is accidentally damaged, wouldn't it ruin other people's feelings?" Although she thinks these two paintings are not expensive, Su's mother is a person who values friendship. She did not take the value of these two paintings into consideration before. , at this time, I heard Su Lin say that it took a lot of effort to paint this, and it was specially given to her family. This kind of friendship alone made Su's mother feel that these two paintings must be kept well.
"Mom! As long as you have this awareness, let's hang these two paintings in the living room, a little higher. Our house won't be affected by earthquakes, it's okay... just hang them like this, there won't be any damage."
Su Lin felt that his goal was achieved. Although he did not reveal to his mother that one of the two paintings was worth millions and the other was worth hundreds of millions, it was enough to let his mother know that they should take good care of and value them. However, Su Lin then thought about it, even if these two paintings were accidentally damaged, he didn't have to worry! Don’t you have a system for cultivating top-quality beauties? As long as you use the ability to rewind the time of a local object, you can instantly restore damaged items to their original state.
"Aizhen. Just listen to our Xiaolin. Just hang it like this! I heard that rich people hang oil paintings, Chinese paintings and so on. We also had a fashion. Do you still remember my old leader when I was in the company? Now he has just been transferred to our Fujian Military Region as a division commander. He has a lot of oil paintings in his home. They are all works of famous domestic and foreign painters. Has our Xiaolin been admitted to college this time? Our family But I haven’t had a big banquet for a long time. I’ll take this opportunity to invite all my relatives and friends who I haven’t been in touch with before to get together and connect with each other! These two oil paintings will also be tasted by my old chief. Take a look…”
Father Su thought of his old leader Liang Guoping when he was in the army. At that time, Su Guorong was working as a guard for Liang Guoping, who was still the regiment leader. Now more than ten years have passed. As an old leader, he has a pretty good career. He was recently transferred from the Southwest Military Region to the Fujian Military Region as the division commander of the group army. Not long ago, Su Guorong contacted his old comrades to come to his home to attend his son's college entrance examination and enter the university. When I learned about it, I happened to call my old boss. When the old chief Liang Guoping heard that the son of his former guard Su Guorong was actually the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Fujian Province, he was naturally delighted and agreed to come to the banquet. This also made Su Guorong feel that his face was shining brightly and he was very proud.
"That's right! Lao Su, how many tables do you think we need to have for our treat the day after tomorrow? Our small yard can only accommodate about twenty tables at most. Is there not enough space by then?"
Speaking of this treat, Liu Aizhen became a little worried again. When Su Lin heard this, he was surprised and said: "Dad, Mom, what's the treat? Why didn't I know? Is our family going to treat us?"
"Of course! Xiao Lin, your mother and I have already discussed it when you were not here today. The day after tomorrow, we will call those relatives and friends to our home and set up a large banquet to celebrate your passing the top scorer in science in Fujian Province. and Qingbei University.”
Su Guorong said cheerfully, "My old comrades-in-arms, that is, your uncles in the army, when they heard that you got the top scorer in the college entrance examination, one by one! They all gave you a thumbs up and said they were tigers." Father has no son, Xiao Lin! Dad has never been so prosperous in his life! Haha... "
"That's right, brat, you don't even know what the expressions were on my mother-in-law's face when I called them today to inform them of their childbirth. This time, you really made my mother-in-law look good..."
This afternoon, Liu Aizhen was also at home. She made more than a dozen calls to inform her former children and co-workers to come to her home for dinner the day after tomorrow to celebrate her son Xiaolin's admission to Qingbei University.
"Mom, Dad, it seems that you are going to have a big banquet for guests this time." Although Su Lin had long known that this meal was indispensable, it was also a tradition of the Jian'an family. After a child graduates from high school, no matter whether the university he is admitted to is good or not, Well, he had to entertain all the guests, not to mention that he was admitted as the provincial champion and a top student of Qingbei University.
