Jiawei woke up early for his morning run! He promised Xiao Han. The slightly cool wind blew over, making the temperature difference in Jiawei's tightened coat more obvious!
Xiao Han ran in front and stopped to wait for Jiawei to catch up. "Jiawei, hurry up. I have something to tell you.”
Hearing Xiao Han calling him, Jia Wei quickly ran over." You ran so fast! What is it?"
Xiao Han pointed at the stone bench for passers-by to rest on, indicating where to sit and talk slowly.
"Fengyang District has been built for thirty years.”Xiao Han said after she sat down. "The district has decided to hold a memorial event this time. Only the people of the district can participate.”It was very concise.
"This is good. It can promote communication between people.”Jia Wei agreed with this approach. "What activities are there? If it's suitable, I want to try it too.”
"This is also what I want to continue.”
"However, you said just now that only people from this area can participate. I'm afraid I don't have a chance." Jiawei recalled what Xiaohan had just said and felt a little regretful. He really wanted to participate in the event. Perhaps there was something he was good at!
"You're also a member of Fengyang District, aren't you?”Xiao Han looked straight at Jiawei and asked. "Unless you think that our Xiao family is just an outsider in your eyes!”
Jiawei smiled cheerfully." I can't say much. I still have a sister named Xiaohan! What are the activities? I'll challenge them with you…"
Xiao Han slowly explained to Jiawei," There are many activities, and they are divided into stages. There were elderly groups, youth groups, and children groups. Each stage had corresponding activities. For example, the youth group has a basketball competition, the children group has a singing competition, and the elderly group has a health exercise competition. There are also some things that are common, such as basketball, table tennis, and an art exhibition... Anyway, there are many kinds. I'll introduce you to the Zhou Qing activities when I go back. We received the notice yesterday. We originally planned to tell you when you came back, but Mom said to let you rest well, so I didn't say anything. Jiawei, you said that you were interested in painting. Why don't we sign up for this together and see who's better?”Xiao Han smiled. "Of course, there are other projects. Let's sign up for a few more!”
"I didn't expect there to be an exhibition of works. Alright, let's give it a try and see who's better!”Jiawei asked again,"Has it ever been this grand before?"”
"I heard from my father that there was a rather grand one in the fifth year of construction, but the scenes after that were relatively small and hadn't been held for some years. I heard a reason why it's so grand this time!”Xiao Han stopped talking.
Jiawei continued," What's the reason?”He was very curious.
"The only son of a family in the neighborhood has been transferred to Wan Jing as an official, and they are moving there too. He missed the time when he lived in the neighborhood, so he planned to leave a good impression before leaving. Therefore, in order to fulfill the wishes of the two elders, their son used his connections to organize this grand event. The top three in each project would receive some rewards. This was also thanks to the help of their son. Of course, the government also helped behind the scenes. They also wanted to encourage the various districts to organize activities like this to promote interpersonal communication. This was to prevent many people from living in the same district for a few years and still not meeting each other!”
"That's true!" Jiawei looked at the sun that had a small corner emerging." Xiao Han, are we going back after we finish running this part of the road, or are we going back now?"”
"Let's go back now! Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention that the registration time would be in three days. Then, the event would begin on the 1st of next month and last for a week.”Xiao Han stood up and said," Go back and look at the event introduction. It's written in detail."”
"You're also very detailed!" Jiawei followed. "What other projects do you plan to sign up for?"
"I'm not telling you!" After Xiao Han finished speaking, she ran back the way she came. Jia Wei followed closely behind." If I catch up with you, you have to tell me."”
"Mom, there's a dance competition here. Why don't you go too?”
"How can I do that? I'm old and I don't have the vitality I used to have.”Aunt Nan turned to Jiawei and said,"Xiao Wei, how many are you going to participate in?"”
Jiawei raised his eyes, which were scrutinizing the introduction." I'll just have one. I don't have time for more."”
"I should choose a few more." Aunt Nan suggested.
"Then I'll see which ones are suitable for me!”After saying that, Jiawei lowered his head and looked at it carefully.
"Yes, yes, young people should be full of vigor.”
Aunt Nan did not participate in these activities, so there was no need to know the details of the activities. She could just roughly know them. After lunch, he brought some for his wife. There were only Jiawei and Xiao Han at home.
"Jiawei, have you thought about it?" Xiao Han saw Jiawei pick up another book, which was about the records of the previous memorial activities. "Don't be in a hurry to read your book. You haven't answered my question yet!”
Jiawei pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose." What did you just say?”
The registration would be held three days later, and the registration period was only one day. Therefore, the leisure places in the district were already overcrowded! Jiawei still only signed up for one art exhibition. Xiaohan also signed up for another solo dance.
"I really couldn't tell that you could dance.”Jiawei sized Xiao Han up.
"There are still many things you don't know! There are too many people. Let's go back." Xiao Han said with a playful smile.
"Jiawei, what are you going to draw?”Xiao Han asked. "I haven't thought about it yet! What about you?" Jiawei asked.
"I won't tell you!" Xiao Han shook her head and ran away. Jiawei was still depressed about what was wrong with Xiao Han. After answering a question, she left the heart of a woman. It was like a needle in the sea!
Jiawei was planning to paint a landscape with ink painting. After Xiao Han bought the drawing board, the two of them went to some scenic spots in Fengyang to experience it personally. Jiawei asked Xiao Han what kind of painting she was planning to draw, but Xiao Han stammered and refused to tell him. She only said, It's about the same as you! In the end, they chose the 'Blessing Tree' as the theme background. Of course, Xiao Han and Jia Wei also went together.
"Jiawei, do you only want to draw a tree?”Xiao Han asked softly. Jiawei, who was sitting under the tree and looking up at the branches, turned his head and answered Xiaohan's question," I don't know now. Let's follow the inspiration! Why are you sitting behind me?"
Xiao Han smiled and said," This is the best place for me to find inspiration!”
Jiawei seemed to understand, but he didn't." Oh!" Then, she entered his inner world again. Xiao Han was behind him, propping her head with her hands, meditating on something…It was her own secret!
Time passed by slowly. Jiawei had painted countless paintings, but he felt that they were not ideal. He tore them and painted them again and again…Uncle Nan suggested that Jiawei go for a walk. Coincidentally, they needed to stock up again, so Jiawei followed them to the wholesale market in Fengyang. Xiao Han was also too busy to get away. She had to rehearse the dance she had chosen and calm down to draw, but she was in a very happy mood.
Seeing that it was almost time for the activity, Xiao Han and Jia Wei came to the blessing tree again. The old lady's cold had long been cured. In her spare time, she even poured a glass of water for Xiao Han and Jia Wei.
"Jiawei, I think it's already very good. Look, those leaves and those wishing bottles are so realistic. Why did you tear them up again?”Xiao Han picked up the drawing paper that was torn in half by Jia Wei and pointed at the painting that she thought was pretty good.
"It still lacks a taste, a taste that belongs to it! Just like how each of us has a different body odor from others, you know?”Jiawei guided patiently.
"It's a smell. Hearing you say that, I feel that my paintings are not tasty enough!”Xiao Han was deep in thought about her painting…She raised her head and said.
" What are you drawing? Let me see…" Jiawei leaned his head over.
"No!" Xiao Han nervously flipped the drawing board over so that Jiawei wouldn't look at it. "You'll know when the day comes.”
"Alright, alright, I won't look. It's been so long, and I don't even know what you're drawing.”
"Jiawei, when the time comes, you will know!”Xiao Han tugged at Jiawei's clothes playfully like a spoiled little girl. "Don't be angry."
"I don't dare to be angry! If I didn't have a little fart bug following me, I probably wouldn't be used to it.”Jiawei teased. However, to Xiao Han, it was sweeter than eating honey. A smile unknowingly appeared on her face.
" We have to hand in the painting in three days. We have to hurry up, Xiao Han…Xiao Han," Jia Wei called out a few times, but Xiao Han did not respond. He turned around and saw Xiao Han looking at him with a smile.
"Uh…Jiawei, I'm going to the washroom.”Xiao Han escaped from Jia Wei's sight as if she was afraid that Jia Wei would see through her if she stayed any longer.
Looking at Xiao Han's inexplicable behavior, Jia Wei recalled what he had just said. He felt that he shouldn't have said that. He lowered his head slightly under the blessing tree…What's wrong with me?
On the first day of the event, Jiawei and Xiaohan handed in their works. The person in charge said that the exhibition would be held in two days and asked the two of them to arrive on time. In the end, neither of them knew what the other had drawn, so they said they would give each other a surprise. After handing in the artwork, Xiao Han still had to fill in the dance information for the report. Jia Wei waited at the side for Xiao Han to forcefully forbid him from going over.
"What kind of dance is it? I can't even sit by and watch you fill in the information.”Jia Wei pretended to be angry.
" Jiawei, don't be mad at me..." Xiao Han thought it was true, but she didn't know how to say it, so she stuttered the word " I " with a conflicted expression. Jiawei felt stifled when he saw Xiao Han's state, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Haha, why are you stammering? Just say what you have to say. If you look like this, the passers-by will think that I'm bullying you.”Jia Wei said frankly, his expression changing.
"Alright, Jiawei is bullying me again!”As she spoke, Xiao Han sent her little fist forward. When Jia Wei saw Xiao Han's action, he gently dodged and ran forward. Xiao Han chased after him.
" Jiawei, wait for me. I can't run anymore..." Xiao Han shouted from behind.
At this moment, they had already left the residential area and were on the side of the nearby road. Jiawei stopped and looked at the sky in the distance. Was it also this clear and cloudless? Xiao Han caught up with him after a while." What are you thinking about?”
"My mother…"
"Then let's go home after the event!”Xiao Han also looked into the distance like Jia Wei, feeling a little reluctant to part.
" But..." Jiawei retracted his gaze and inadvertently saw a very familiar license plate number. Looking at the car speeding away, Jia Wei looked at the direction it was heading. It seemed to be heading towards Fengyang District. He prayed with all his heart…and forgot about Xiao Han, who was waiting for him to continue.
"Jiawei, I'm afraid Mom has already made lunch!”Xiao Han said as she saw Jiawei looking in the direction of home. She thought that Jiawei wanted to go back. An emotion rose in his heart: When Jiawei thought of his own home, he looked at his own home and knew what kind of emotional dependence this was. At this moment, Xiao Han thought so, and she could not help but twitch her lips in relief.
Jiawei didn't notice Xiao Han's actions. He had all kinds of feelings in his heart, but he couldn't let Xiao Han know, so he said with an excuse," Let's take a detour back. It seems to be still early!"”
