love out of time

Chapter 11

Cao Bin pulled her over and stuffed the money in, "Silly girl, why bother with the money." He wiped the oily sweat off his face, "You are also young, with high spirits, and when you meet today's In such a situation, a few jokes will pass.”

Jiang Ci clenched his fingers tightly and said nothing.

"It's fine if you don't do your job. You are a serious student, and you have a bad reputation. If you need money in the future, even if you tell Brother Cao that I will pay for your third year of high school, it will be fine."

When his father passed away, Jiang Ci was still a year away, and he couldn't do many regular part-time jobs.Cao Bin is a fellow of Jiang Ci, and was taken care of by Jiang Mingyuan in the early years.Ben lost contact a long time ago. One day, Jiang Ci was handing out leaflets at the entrance of the supermarket. Cao Bin recognized him, and was led to a bar to serve wine as a waiter.

Jiang Ci smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I still have the money."

Cao Bin nodded, "Okay, you have my phone number, just call me if you have any difficulties." Before leaving, he told Jiang Ci, "Lock the door, and don't open it for anyone."

After Cao Bin left, Jiang Ci returned to the bedroom, counted the stack of banknotes that were somewhat damp with sweat, and stuffed them under the pillow.

Life is like a flour sack full of holes, plugged in one place and leaked in another.To live, you need money everywhere.Food and clothing, water, electricity and gas, and paints for painting.Especially the last item, no matter how you save it, you can't save it.

After Jiang Mingyuan passed away, Jiang Ci originally didn't plan to continue studying painting.But she has no other specialties, only painting skills, it is a pity to give up halfway, and her teacher Chen Tongxu is a well-known painter in Chongcheng, with extremely high standards for apprentices, and has taught four people in 30 years.

Fortunately, Liang Jingxing's 10 yuan came in a timely manner, so she gritted her teeth and persisted.

Another weekend, Jiang Ci went to Chen Tongxu's studio as usual.

Near the end of the period, the temperature in Chongcheng is rising higher and higher, and the power of the "stove" is already faint.Jiang Ci sat on the bus for four to ten minutes, sweating all over from the heat.

Chen Tongxu poured her a glass of ice water, not mentioning today's class, "A Ci, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. You still have a week of summer vacation, right? A friend of mine commissioned me to paint two walls for him , This matter is tedious and time-consuming, you can do it for me." He paused, "The other party paid quite generously," he compared a number, "The price is one square meter."

Jiang Ci mused, "I'm afraid that if you don't draw well, your signboard will be smashed."

Chen Tongxu said with a smile: "I believe in you, and I will never smash it."

Chen Tongxu didn't really approve of his students going out to show off before they had finished their studies. He once got so angry about Jiang Ci's auction of paintings that he didn't talk to her for a whole month.But now the situation is special, I think it is a little bit to help.When he learned that Jiang Ci's family had changed, he offered to waive his tuition for the next year, but Jiang Ci naturally refused without hesitation.

He often felt that Jiang Ci was like himself when he was young, with a high-ranking arrogance, a stubborn temper, and refused to change at all.In the past, her family was well-off, so she was just arrogant; now that she is in trouble, her arrogance has turned into hostility, which makes her seem like a screw that cannot be tolerated by the world.If you really want to bump into the hands of some people who don't like it, you will inevitably be beaten.

There is a saying that is good, if you are strong, you will be humiliated, and if you are deeply in love, you will not live long.
