Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1113: Chapter 1114: Coddle Me Loudly

”Yes, yes, yes, I’ll listen to you,” Chiang Xiao had become accustomed to being trained by Liu Guoying. It was also strange; in many people’s eyes, she was quite good and had many strengths, but somehow, Liu Guoying always managed to find faults in her.

”Did the teacher’s wife only bring your meal? If I come over to mooch, and you don’t have enough, what will you do?”

Liu Guoying laughed, ”Do you think I’m stupid? Would I specifically go find you to share if I only brought food for one person? Of course, I would have finished eating before coming to find you.”

Chiang Xiao: ”...”

Alright, so she was the stupid one, wasn’t she?

Cheng Qiulian brought quite a lot of food, enough rice, enough dishes, and even stewed soup.

”I stewed this soup myself. I borrowed a stove from the lady at the guest house; she was easy to talk to and very enthusiastic. She also told me where the market was. The dishes are from a restaurant outside, but I’ve been into their kitchen, and it’s quite clean, you can eat without worries,” she said.

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but smile.

Could one really enter a restaurant’s kitchen and verify its cleanliness before getting food?

The restaurants these days really had a conscience.

”Teacher’s wife, have you eaten?”

”I’ve eaten, I’ve eaten. You guys hurry up and eat,” Cheng Qiulian said as she watched them.

Liu Guoying indeed had something to discuss with Chiang Xiao.

”I’ve reviewed your painting, and there seem to be no issues; it should pass. Mr. Xu Yiqiu will come by later, and after she checks it, if there are no problems, it will be hung in the exhibition hall tomorrow. I think this is a good thing. You can take a few tickets back to school to invite your classmates and teachers to come and look.”

”There’s no need to invite them to come and look,” Chiang Xiao said as she took a sip of soup, ”I’m a low-profile person.”

Liu Guoying raised his chopsticks as if he wanted to knock on her head.

”You’re low-profile, and yet you want me to boast about you?”

Today, his two pieces of work had been hung up.

All morning, the people flocking to the exhibition hall nearly burst the place.

He hadn’t expected Director Jin to act so quickly, having already publicized his works through television, radio, and newspapers.

The imitator of the Autumn Scenery Painting and another piece, the awe-inspiring Howling Northern Wind, were being publicly exhibited for the first time.

Originally many painters from around the country had come to Capital City for the exhibition, so as soon as the news was released, far too many people came to see his new imitation of the Autumn Scenery Painting and the Howling Northern Wind.

Xu Yiqiu even sought him out on purpose, saying she hoped to invite him as a guest to her lecture the day after tomorrow, and wanted him to give half a lecture as well.

Chiang Xiao bit her chopstick, feeling somewhat conflicted.

As for Xu Yiqiu herself, naturally, Chiang Xiao did not want to say anything, but men can be easily charmed by her. She was a bit worried about Chen Yin. Now, if her teacher got too close to her, she couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious, could she?

Seeing Cheng Qiulian smiling gently at them from the side, Chiang Xiao secretly laughed at herself again.

She was really worrying over nothing.

The teacher wasn’t that kind of person. He and the teacher’s wife had been together for half a lifetime; their relationship wasn’t something anyone could easily break.

”Teacher, so did you agree?”

”I agreed,” he said.

Chiang Xiao looked at him with some surprise. She had thought the teacher would refuse, given that he truly wasn’t someone who liked showing off. Riding on Xu Yiqiu’s coattails was something he might not enjoy.

”I’ve decided to talk about that troublesome student I’m mentoring during the lecture!” Liu Guoying glanced at her irritably.

Chiang Xiao suddenly understood his intention.

Liu Guoying was doing this for her after all.

No matter what, being mentioned during Xu Yiqiu’s discussion meant her name would be remembered by the media and the painters.

Liu Guoying had once said that by taking him as her mentor, he really didn’t have any resources to help her.
