Chapter 522

The two of them went out of the township government together and walked aimlessly along Hutou Street. The sky was not yet completely dark, and the villagers on the street would respectfully call out "Township Head Su" when they saw Su Xinghui, and Su Xinghui would also greet them.

Lu Xiaoya asked, "Xinghui, did that painting you sent last time make it into the art exhibition?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Uncle Qu called me a few days ago and said that my painting has been shortlisted for this art exhibition."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Then congratulations. By the way, what did you paint?"

Su Xinghui said, "I painted Zhuangyuan Alley."

"Zhuangyuan Alley?" Lu Xiaoya said, "This name sounds nice. Where is this alley? How did you think of painting it?"

Su Xinghui told Lu Xiaoya the origin of Zhuangyuan Alley and then said, "I went to the home of a descendant of that Zhuangyuan Hou to buy stamps, heard some stories about Zhuangyuan Alley, so I painted a picture about Zhuangyuan Alley."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Then what about you buying stamps?"

Su Xinghui told Lu Xiaoya about him selling paintings, "I sold a painting and made some money. I couldn't just save all this money, so I wanted to make some investments. I didn't have enough energy to do other things, and I didn't have enough money to invest in antiques. I was quite interested in stamp collecting, so I bought some stamps and put them there waiting for them to appreciate."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Then you are quite amazing, you will definitely get rich in the future."

Su Xinghui said, "I hope so."

Lu Xiaoya turned her head and looked at him, "Then when the art exhibition comes, I must apply to interview you. I want to see your painting."

Su Xinghui said, "Alright, but I might not have time to go to Jiangcheng during the National Day. My classmate is getting married, and I have to attend his wedding."

Lu Xiaoya nodded, "I'll just look at the painting."

The two walked to the end of the street and suddenly met Xue Qin head-on. Xue Qin was walking on the street in a daze, and she didn't seem to see Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya walking towards her.

Lu Xiaoya gave a surprised shout of "Xue Qin." Xue Qin was obviously startled by this sound. She raised her head and saw Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya. Her eyes dimmed for a moment, then she squeezed out a smile, "Xiaoya is here!"

Lu Xiaoya said, "I'm here to play with a female classmate. Isn't tomorrow Sunday?"

Xue Qin said, "Oh, then have a good time."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Why don't you go out and play with us tomorrow?"

Xue Qin shook her head, "Forget it, I won't go. I have a self-study exam next month, and I still have to read. It would be a pity if I didn't pass after preparing for so long."
