Ordinary countryside reborn

Chapter 166
Tian Yuan paid no attention to the New Year Party. She was no longer the person in junior high school who came on stage just for ten dollars.

After commenting on a painting, Tianyuan sat leisurely on the sofa and picked up the tea on the table.

"Sister Yuanyuan, it's so difficult to learn sketching. I can't draw well." Zhang Huijie said frustratedly, holding the drawing board.

Wang Hongping cut a plate of fruit and brought it over, stuck a toothpick in it and handed it over, "Just learn slowly, why are you so anxious! If it were that simple, wouldn't everyone be able to do it?"

Tianyuan nodded and comforted him: "Haste makes waste. You have made rapid progress. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Zhang Huijie raised his head and looked at Tian Yuan: "Sister Yuanyuan, didn't you lie to me? I have really made great progress?"

He asked in confusion, "Why do I feel like I haven't made any progress recently?"

Wang Hongping also looked at Tianyuan. They were both amateurs when it came to painting, so they couldn't help much, so they counted on Tianyuan to answer his son's questions.

Tian Yuan: "That's because you are about to enter the next stage. During this period, you may stagnate for a period of time, and then one day you will suddenly have an epiphany and make rapid progress..."

Zhang Huijie was silent for a while, put the apple into his mouth, and quickly said, "Sister Yuanyuan, are you thinking about the novel again?"

He curled his lips and said, "It won't be a martial arts novel this time, right? It can also lead to an epiphany."

"How can you talk, brat?" Wang Hongping scolded with a smile.

She looked at Tianyuan and said with concern: "Yuanyuan, your studies in the second year of high school are more intense than those in the first year of high school. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me and Teacher Zhang. If you are tired, you don't have to come every time. Xiaojie is in class, just give him more homework and let him figure it out on his own."

"Mom, I'm stuck here and can't continue drawing. If you don't let Sister Yuanyuan teach me, what can I figure out by myself?" Zhang Huijie grabbed Wang Hongping's arm and swayed it from side to side, protesting.

Wang Hongping was about to reason with her son when Tian Yuan said with a smile: "It's okay, Aunt Hong, teaching Xiaojie is also a kind of relaxation. Don't teachers say that learning should pay attention to the balance between work and rest?"

"That's good. I'm afraid it would be a sin if I delayed your study."

Wang Hongping pushed the plate forward and said, "Come on, finish the rest. When Lao Zhang comes back, let him help you check whether your novel has improved a lot."

She stood up, looked at the big clock on the wall, and found that it was almost five o'clock. She hurried to the kitchen and left a message: "You guys eat first, I will cook. Xiaojie is interested in you, Sister Yuanyuan. Don't let her run away again."

Zhang Huijie stood up straight and solemnly, saluted with his right hand, "As ordered!"

"Sister Yuanyuan, I have taken the order this time, and you must accompany me."

Tianyuan nodded, forked a piece of apple and put it in his mouth, "Don't worry, eat quickly, and then draw for a while after eating."

Hearing this, Zhang Huijie pouted, "I haven't made progress for a long time, but I feel like I've regressed. Sister Yuanyuan, weren't you lying to me about the epiphany you mentioned before? Why is it so fantasy?"

Tianyuan said seriously: "You will experience it sooner or later. The rising stage is the most difficult. After passing this hurdle, you can enter the next stage, settle down again, and wait for new problems to arise. This means that you will have New progress.”

She put down her toothpick and said slowly: "Everyone will face one obstacle after another. If you get over it, you will make further progress; if you can't get through it, it doesn't matter. Different lives have different splendors. Just work hard and do your best." "

Zhang Huijie: "."

"Sister, are you sure you are comforting me? After one hurdle, there are still countless hurdles. How tiring it is!" He sighed like an adult.

Tian Yuan lowered his head and smiled without saying anything.Realizing that this was not something he could understand at his age, Zhang Huijie hesitated: "Then are there any rewards for passing the threshold?"

Tianyuan glanced at him, "Isn't it enough to reward you for your academic achievements?"

Zhang Guoqiang came back before dinner. After dinner, he pointed out what Tian Yuan had written recently and advised her not to delay her studies. Tian Yuan listened carefully and nodded obediently.

It was getting late, Tian Yuan was about to go back to the dormitory, and while she was packing her things, Zhang Huijie picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and asked casually: "Why don't you art majors go on stage at next week's party? What can you do for people to see?"

"Ok?"

Tian Yuan turned to look at Zhang Guoqiang and asked doubtfully: "Teacher, is there anything special about this party?"

Zhang Guoqiang burst out laughing and pointed at Tianyuan, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you by asking like this."

"Actually, it's nothing special. There are leaders from the province coming to inspect, and the principal attaches great importance to it." He looked at Tianyuan and said with a smile: "I think you don't seem to be prepared this time. Are you not planning to show your face on stage?"

Tianyuan shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.

Zhang Guoqiang asked in confusion: "You also participated in the selection of school magazine illustrations before, why didn't you participate this time?"

"Other students wish they had eighteen martial arts skills. Your ability to draw is enviable, but not many of you like to be on stage. I see that your teacher Wu has been looking sad recently, and seems to want you to show off. Here." He looked like he was gloating and wanted to watch a show.

Tian Yuan blinked and said in an aloof tone, "Don't worry, there are so many outstanding art students in the school, there will always be someone who likes to be on stage."

"Haha, you kid." Zhang Guoqiang smiled and shook his head, "Should I say that you are stable, or should I say that you lack the high-spiritedness and vigor of a young man?"

Tianyuan: "Not all young people are high-spirited. There are also many young people who don't like to be noticed or paid attention to by others and are very sensitive."

At this time Wang Hongping came over and said, "Yuanyuan, you don't like to be noticed either?"

The last time Tianyuan was famous in school, he only left his name in the school magazine. If he wasn't a classmate, he wouldn't know who Tianyuan was and what he looked like.

Zhang Huijie raised his hand to answer: "I don't like it either. Just because I have good grades, the teachers like to call me to answer questions."

He sighed and said heartbrokenly: "Hey, it's all my fault for being too good!"

When Tian Yuan returned to the dormitory, only Xia Wen was playing on the bed. When Tian Yuan came in, he asked, "Have you eaten? I wanted to wait for you to eat together before, but I haven't seen you yet!"

"Well, I'm teaching Teacher Zhang's son."

Tianyuan put down his things and looked up at the person on the bed, "I think I told you last time?"

Xia Wen patted her head, "Yes, you have said that the people rehearsing the program in the class have been so noisy recently that I don't even have the time to study."

"However, the studio has not been quiet recently. Teacher Wu has been trying to persuade the students who are usually the most active to talk to me!"

"But what can I do up here, sketch for the audience below?"
