“But her drawing level is very high. She has won many awards in school.
“She had no choice but to give tuition to the children in the capital. However, most of the children who learned painting in the capital came from good families. Some people looked down on her country background and were always very picky about her. They didn’t cooperate with her at all.
“She was also holding back her anger. In the end, she chose to return to her hometown first and talk about how to develop in the future.
“It just so happens that you wanted to find a teacher for Xia Feng, so I thought of her.
“I should have brought her over this weekend, but she’s a little resistant to being a teacher now. She’s afraid that she won’t be able to teach her students well, and she doesn’t want to be despised and despised by her students anymore.”
Xia Wan nodded, understanding the situation.
It was already difficult for many families to continue providing for their children’s education.
Since this university student was able to major in fine arts, her family background should be pretty good in the county. However, the good family background in a small county could not be compared to the capital.
Soon, they arrived at the art teacher’s house.
It was a two-story building. The decoration was still very new, and it could be seen that the family was not bad.
Xu Ye knocked on the door.
“She’s here.” A woman’s voice rang out, and the next moment, the door was opened.
The woman looked to be in her twenties. She was wearing a simple dress, her hair was tied up lazily, and she wore a pair of glasses. Her skin was exceptionally fair as if she had not been in the sun for a long time.
The woman looked past Xu Ye to Xia Wan and asked, “Are you the one who wants to find an art teacher for your brother?”
Xia Wan nodded and reached out her hand. She smiled and said, “Hello, my name is Xia Wan.”
The woman’s expression paused slightly. In the end, she shook hands with Xia Wan and said, “My name is Zhou En.”
The two of them entered the house.
Xia Wan realized that Zhou En’s house was decorated very differently from the outside. It could even be said to be avant- garde.
She didn’t use a rigid renovation routine, but made full use of the space. For example, there were two cabinets at the entrance that could be used to store shoes and bags. There was a large dressing mirror in the corner that could be used to look into the mirror before going out.
Xia Wan and the rest had changed into disposable slippers. There was a blanket in the lobby on the first floor, stacked under the sofa, and a table in the middle. Usually, the family could sit on the blanket when watching TV on the first floor.
The staircase was a revolving design. The white wooden staircase was not made of cement.
Seeing that Xia Wan’s gaze was fixed on the renovation of her house, Zhou En poured them a glass of water and asked, “Why? Do you like my design?”
Xia Wan nodded. “The design is not bad. The use of space is good, and it’s novel enough.”
Zhou En’s originally dull eyes were now filled with a hint of a smile. “You have good taste. I designed these myself, but my family thinks they’re fancy and doesn’t like them.
“Are you saying that on purpose because you want me to be your brother’s art teacher?” Zhou En asked.
Xia Wan shook her head. “No, your design concept is very much in line with the aesthetic standards of young people. However, if it’s your parents, most of them have more traditional ideas. They prefer red designs because they think it’s festive and grand.”
Zhou En nodded and started to talk to Xia Wan about design.
Then, she realized that Xia Wan knew a lot.
Xu Ye couldn’t get a word in edgewise, so he just quietly sipped his tea.
He only knew that Xia Wan knew a lot, but he didn’t expect her to be able to talk so much about design.
In the past, Xu Ye thought that he was considered powerful in this county, but now that he was compared to Xia Wan, Xu Ye felt that he still had a lot to learn.
About half an hour later, Zhou En and Xia Wan ended their conversation. Xu Ye was so sleepy that he yawned.
Zhou En had gained a lot of inspiration from her conversation with Xia Wan. She realized that her problem was that she wanted to express too much, but her current ability could not perfectly express these things.
Zhou En pulled Xia Wan back. “Come with me to my studio to take a look at my work and help me comment..”
