Chapter 492: Amazing

Hou Dali drank while telling his story. Although Su Xinghui poured him less wine each time and deliberately controlled it, in the end, Hou Dali still had seven or eight points of wine. Su Xinghui called his wife and Hou Wenyong to help him to bed, and then said goodbye.

Returning home, Su Xinghui took out the stamp album and the copper coins and silver dollars, put them in his camphor wood box, and then locked the box. With these things, his heart can be settled. No matter how he tosses in the future, his family finally has a generous property to bottom out.

The next day, Su Xinghui returned to Meng Hu Ling and threw himself into busy work. In Meng Hu Ling now, things are really very busy. Fortunately, Su Xinghui is young and has a good body, so he can still hold on and always face work with abundant energy.

He works during the day and paints at night. Sometimes he points out Wan Xing'an to read. However, Xue Qin has not come to his dormitory to ask him questions during this time. But Su Xinghui is very busy now and didn't take it to heart.

During this time, he painted a painting of Zhuangyuan Lane. The picture was looked into from the white marble archway at the entrance of Zhuangyuan Lane. It was a deep and long alley, and it was raining lightly in the sky. The bluestone road was shining with water, and a long-haired girl with an umbrella was walking on it.

The artistic conception and inspiration of this painting naturally came from the famous "Rainy Alley". However, the main tone of Su Xinghui's painting was still very bright, not as mournful and sad as the original poem. The back of the beautiful long-haired girl walking on the long bluestone road was full of a lively vitality and hope. The young girl with youthful beauty and the ancient alley with a long history formed a sharp contrast, but also had a wonderful harmony.

Su Xinghui was quite satisfied with this painting. He believed that this painting was one of his better works since his rebirth.

At the end of August, the factory building project of Quanjie Pharmaceutical Factory was completed. The main leaders of the county and township came to attend their completion ceremony, and Quanjie Pharmaceutical Factory officially started construction.

After Quanjie Pharmaceutical Factory started construction, the villagers of Yezhugou Village had another stable source of income. They collected wild Chinese herbal medicines to sell to the pharmaceutical factory, and the pharmaceutical factory recruited most of the workers locally, allowing the recruited villagers to receive a considerable salary every month.

Now there are almost no idle people in Yezhugou. Some work in special breeding farms, some work in bamboo weaving factories, some plant Chinese herbal medicines, and some work in pharmaceutical factories. Therefore, Yezhugou Village has currently become the village with the highest per capita income in the entire Meng Hu Ling Township.

Moreover, the per capita income of Yezhugou Village still has great potential, because the output of special breeding farms and bamboo weaving factories is still growing. These two companies have shares for all the people in the village, and the medicine in the medicine field has not yet matured. After they mature, the income of Yezhugou villagers will have a relatively large increase.

In addition, there is their Du Zhong protection forest, and the area is constantly growing. This protection forest is also constantly bringing income to the villagers. In ten or twenty years, this Du Zhong protection forest will become their long-term source of income.

The current state of Yezhugou Village is the prototype of agricultural industrialization that Su Xinghui feels is relatively ideal. Other villages in Meng Hu Ling Township will also slowly enter this state with the completion of some foreign investment enterprises. As planting bases and these enterprises enter the mature stage, the chain of agricultural industrialization in Meng Hu Ling Township will also slowly become complete and enter the most ideal state.

One day in early September, Su Xinghui received a call from Qu Ziqing. Qu Ziqing told him that the Provincial Painting Academy would hold another calligraphy and painting exhibition during the National Day. He asked Su Xinghui if he had any new works to exhibit recently.

Su Xinghui knew that this was Qu Ziqing's good intention, so he told Qu Ziqing that there was indeed a new work recently, and he was quite satisfied with it himself.

Qu Ziqing asked Su Xinghui to send this painting to him, and he would help Su Xinghui sign up. He also told Su Xinghui that as long as Su Xinghui participated in three painting exhibitions held by the province, he could join the Provincial Artists Association.

Su Xinghui then understood why Qu Ziqing was so enthusiastic about letting him participate in the painting exhibition. It turned out to be for this. If he could join the Provincial Artists Association, it would be a good title. At least the price of his paintings in the future might be higher.

Su Xinghui was also very moved by Qu Ziqing's good intentions. He thought about it, he hadn't been to Jiangcheng for a long time. Last time he called Lu Xiaoya, she also asked him when he could go to Jiangcheng to play with her. Then just send the painting to Jiangcheng, and take this opportunity to see Lu Xiaoya. Presumably she will be very happy.

Su Xinghui told Qu Ziqing that he would send the painting to Jiangcheng. Qu Ziqing was very happy to hear it, and said he would wait for Su Xinghui in Jiangcheng.

Su Xinghui asked Min Tong if he would go back to Jiangcheng with him. Min Tong said he would go back to Jiangcheng with Su Xinghui.

Lu Xiaoya said she would introduce a girlfriend to Min Tong, but the past few months were midsummer, and Min Tong was responsible for the market sales of Xianrenquan mineral water, busy and inseparable, and had no time to consider this matter. Now that midsummer has passed, it is time to put this matter on the agenda.

Su Xinghui asked Dong Jianshu for two days off, and he and Min Tong took the painting to Jiangcheng early on Saturday, September 4th.

They took a Santana driven by Min Tong. Now most of the Shangmeng Highway has been repaired, and the road conditions are quite good, so it only took about two hours for the car to drive to Jiangcheng.

Arriving in Jiangcheng, Su Xinghui asked Min Tong to send him to the Provincial Painting Academy and let Min Tong go home first. Min Tong hadn't been home for a long time. He and Min Tong agreed to make an appointment with Lu Xiaoya to eat together in the evening. Of course, he would also let Lu Xiaoya make an appointment with Chen Xiaomeng.

Min Tong went home happily. He also had to dress up well. He had to see the girl he liked in the evening, so he had to dress up handsomely.

Su Xinghui entered the Provincial Painting Academy. Long Kangrong and Yi Mingda both worked here. Su Xinghui had an appointment with Qu Ziqing to meet here. He told the old man in the guard room that he was looking for Long Kangrong. The old man called Long Kangrong to confirm it, and then let Su Xinghui go up.

Su Xinghui found Long Kangrong's office. Qu Ziqing and Yi Mingda were both in his office. The three were talking and laughing. After Su Xinghui went in, he smiled: "Hello Teacher Long, Hello Teacher Qu, Hello Teacher Yi!"

Seeing Su Xinghui, Long Kangrong laughed: "Little Su is here!"

Su Xinghui nodded: "Teacher Qu asked me to come, dare I not come?"

Yi Mingda said: "Old Qu is really for your own good. You participate in three provincial painting exhibitions, and you can join the Provincial Artists Association. Then you will be a justified painter."

Su Xinghui said: "I know, so I have to thank several teachers!"

Qu Ziqing said: "Don't thank us first, you have to take out your painting to see. Participating in this painting exhibition also has a threshold. Only when the level is enough can you be selected."

Su Xinghui took out the painting of Zhuangyuan Lane from his bag. The three opened the painting and put it on the table to watch.

Looking at this, they watched for more than ten minutes. Long Kangrong then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Painted well, the technique is very mature, very old-fashioned, and the composition of the picture is also very artistic."

Yi Mingda nodded: "Xinghui should be considered a leader among our young painters in Hudong Province."

Qu Ziqing said: "This painting should be qualified to be selected for this painting exhibition, right?"

Yi Mingda said: "In my opinion, there is no problem. Of course, it still needs to be recognized by the judges, but I think the judges have no reason not to select this painting."

Qu Ziqing looked at the white marble archway on the painting and said: "Zhuangyuan Residence, where is this alley?"

Su Xinghui said: "This is an alley in our Shangjun County, named Zhuangyuan Lane." ===== CHAPTER 494 =====
