There are guests outside.
Zhang Junping and Zhang Junan rushed out to welcome them.
"Uncle Nie, Happy New Year!"
"Pingzi, Anzi, Happy Chinese New Year!
A few of us came over to give New Year greetings to Brother Zhang and sister-in-law! "Nie Xinghua said with a smile.
Behind him is the leader of the field department Nie Xinghua.
During the Chinese New Year, it is also an old tradition on the farm that the leaders go to each household to pay New Year's greetings.
However, the people who went there were the homes of retired veteran cadres and old workers.
Unexpectedly, this year Nie Xinghua would bring people to their house to celebrate the New Year.
Zhang Junping hurriedly let Nie Xinghua and his party into the house, and brought them cigarettes, candy, and melon seeds.
"Brother, sister-in-law, happy new year! On behalf of the farm party committee, I'm here to wish you a happy new year!"
"Secretary Nie, Happy New Year! Leaders, Happy New Year!" Facing Nie Xinghua and his party who came to pay New Year's greetings, Zhang's father was somewhat embarrassed.
"Brother, you have raised two good sons! I heard that Anzi is also doing very well in school! He is also a class leader!" Nie Xinghua held Father Zhang's hand and said kindly.
Chapter 254 The New Year's Day Is Busy
As soon as Nie Xinghua and his party left, Pan Wanxing, the farm manager, brought people over to pay New Year's greetings.
Another polite greeting.
Pan Wanxing didn't stay at Zhang Junping's house for too long, but after a brief chat, he said goodbye and left.
It's not suitable to talk too much about New Year's greetings.
After seeing off Pan Wanxing, Zhang Junping drove a jeep to Wangfujing.
Wu Xinping lives in a small alley near Wangfujing.
Chinese New Year is the most important festival among the three festivals and two birthdays. As long as the disciples are not in other places, they must go to the master's house to kowtow to pay New Year's greetings.
Because of Nie Xinghua and Pan Wanxing's delay, when Zhang Junping arrived at Wu Xinping's house, it was already dawn.
Wu Xinping's house was very lively, there was no room to sit in the main room, and many people stood in the yard.
Wu Xinping's daughter, Wu Xin, was also standing in the yard, chatting with a group of people who obviously came to pay New Year's greetings.
As soon as Zhang Junping came in, Wu Xin saw Zhang Junping.
"Little brother, Happy Chinese New Year!" Wu Xin stepped forward to give Zhang Junping a blessing.
"Happy New Year, Junior Sister!" Zhang Junping smiled and cupped his fists at Wu Xin.
"Little brother!" Wu Xin looked at Zhang Junping and shouted again.
"Little sister, is master and wife in there?" Zhang Junping didn't understand for a moment, and asked with a smile.
"Little senior brother!" Wu Xin shouted again, this time extending a hand towards him.
When Zhang Junping saw it, he immediately understood that this little girl was asking for a red envelope.
Zhang Junping smiled, took out the prepared red envelope from his pocket, and handed it to Wu Xin, "I wish my junior sister grows and becomes more beautiful, and my painting skills will improve to the next level."
"Thank you, brother!" Wu Xin smiled sweetly, and gave Zhang Junping another blessing.
It's different when I take the red envelope. This time I omitted the fine print.
Just as Zhang Junping was about to go into the house, he was stopped by Wu Xin and introduced him: "This is my father's closed disciple, why don't you hurry up and send New Year greetings to the uncle?
Brother, these people are the apprentices of other brothers and sisters, that is, your nephew. "
"Happy New Year, Uncle Master!" A group of people clasped their fists and bowed to Zhang Junping to wish New Year.
"Happy New Year, fellow nephews!" Zhang Junping smiled and cupped his fists in return.
"Brother, you can't just say auspicious words, these are all your nephews.
People give you New Year greetings, are you embarrassed not to give red envelopes? "Wu Xin said with a smirk.
When Wu Xin mentioned it, all the senior nephews looked at this little senior uncle who had just met with hope.
This little girl is really eccentric and can play tricks.
Money, Zhang Junping is really not short of money, but the problem is, he didn't prepare so many red envelopes at all.
There is a stone table in the yard with four stone benches. Zhang Junping sits on the stone benches.
"Then follow the rules!" He took out a dozen brand new ten-yuan bills from his bag, and patted them on the stone table.
According to the rules, what is it?
Naturally, only by kowtow can there be red envelopes.
Now, it's everyone's turn to be embarrassed.
Come on, Zhang Junping is not a few years older than them.
But if you don't knock, today's matter will really be difficult.
If you don't knock, then there are no rules.
The situation was a little stiff for a while.
At this moment, a very energetic child of thirteen or fourteen ran up to Zhang Junping, knelt down and kowtowed, "Happy New Year, Uncle Master! I wish you good health and spirit."
"Okay! Uncle Master loves you, so I'll take it to buy some painting supplies." Zhang Junping smiled and took out a ten-yuan bill and handed it to the child.
Then another four or five-year-old girl ran up to Zhang Junping, knelt down and kowtowed, "Happy New Year, uncle!"
"Okay! Uncle Master loves you, I'll take it to buy some painting materials." Zhang Junping smiled and handed the little girl a banknote.
It would be easy with the leader, and the rest of the nephews lined up one by one to kowtow to Zhang Junping to pay New Year's greetings and receive the lucky money.
Zhang Junping felt so refreshed!
Although it cost a little money, it feels really good to be surrounded by a group of boys and girls kowtowing and paying New Year greetings.
After the New Year's money was handed out, Zhang Junping stood up, "Okay, let's chat outside first! I'll go in and pay New Year's greetings to your master and grandma."
Zhang Junping walked into the main room, which was also full of people.
Wu Xinping and Zhou Yuzhen sat on the Taishi chairs on both sides of the Eight Immortals table in the middle.
Then come down on both sides are eight grand master chairs and four tea tables.
There are people on the eight grand master chairs, and there are still many people standing behind the grand master chairs.
"Master, Madam, Happy New Year! Student Zhang Junping kowtows to you!" Zhang Junping stepped forward to kowtow three times to Wu Xinping and Zhou Yuzhen.
"Okay, good boy!" Zhou Yuzhen quickly got up and helped Zhang Junping up, then took out a red envelope and stuffed it to him.
"Junping, come here and let me introduce you.
This is my eldest son, you call him Senior Brother, my second daughter, you call Senior Sister, this is my third son, you have to call Senior Brother too.
This is..." Wu Xinping took Zhang Junping and introduced them to him one by one.
Good guy, Wu Xinping has quite a few apprentices, and the ones he can solemnly introduce are all in-house disciples.
Otherwise, I wouldn't come to pay New Year's greetings at this point.
Not counting his sons and daughters, there are sixteen disciples who entered the house.
Wu Xinping's eldest son, second daughter, and third son are all between 30 and [-] years old.
It should be the child left by his ex-wife.
The eldest son looks about the same age as Zhou Yuzhen, and even looks older than Zhou Yuzhen in appearance.
However, the art circle is like this, it is normal for old couples and young wives.
Counting from his master's generation, they are all of the same virtue, old husband and young wife.
In fact, not only Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, but also their apprentices are the same.
There are fewer couples of the same age.
People who engage in art are idealists, and it is normal to pursue romance.
It is normal for some young and beautiful female students to turn into admiration out of admiration.
Just like that sentence, there is no cat that does not eat fishy.
Not eating is the condition is not met.
Compared with other seniors in the art world, Wu Xinping is considered a good man.
He married Zhou Yuzhen after his wife died, not after divorce.
It turned out that the children of Wu Xinping's ex-wife were dissatisfied with Wu Xinping's marriage to Zhou Yuzhen, and refused to enter the house for many years.
Looking at it now, it is still very harmonious, and the family is happy and harmonious.
It is estimated that after entering the art circle, after learning about the things in the art circle, they didn't care much about their father's reunion.
Zhang Junping didn't care about Wu Xinping's family affairs, he just came to pay New Year's greetings today.
Under the introduction of Wu Xinping, Zhang Junping greeted all the brothers and sisters one by one.
Unexpectedly, he actually received a lot of lucky money.
The New Year's money that was just sent out in the yard can be worth one-third of it when it comes back.
With so many senior brothers and sisters standing, he, a little senior, naturally had to stand.
Zhang Junping stood at the door, listening to the brothers and sisters chatting with the master and wife.
Zhang Junping originally wanted to be a quiet and handsome young man.
As a result, Wu Xinping refused to let him go.
"Junping, don't you have any words yet?" Wu Xinping asked with a smile.
"no!"
Zhang Junping thought to himself, is this a gift?
"Then let me pick a word for you! It can be regarded as arty, and now famous artists all have a word, it's a name."
"Thank you, master!" Zhang Junping could only agree in front of so many senior brothers and sisters.
"Hmm! Flying with the phoenix, it must be a handsome bird.
Just call Tongfei! " Wu Xinping stroked his beard and laughed.
Zhang Junping was taken aback: Is it so casual?
"Tongfei, I like that you can bring your brothers and sisters to fly together." Wu Xinping continued.
"Don't look at your junior brother as young, his talent in painting far surpasses all of you.
The current level is not much worse than that of an old man like me.
You don't have to have any psychological burdens. Talents are rewarded by God, so you can't envy or envy them.
Just like your master, he didn't learn to paint seriously, but he finally became a master by virtue of his talent and hard work. "
"Master, how could we be jealous of Junior Brother!
We hope that the little junior brother can become a generation of masters like the master in the future. "The elder brother said with a smile.
"I said these things today, not to hurt you, nor to cheer you up." Wu Xinping's name for Zhang Junping became more and more fluent.
"Tong Fei will take over from me next year as the store manager of the painting shop.
He has a very grand plan, that is to promote our traditional culture and traditional art to the world.
Organize a world tour exhibition of traditional Chinese art.
Fly together!I hope that when you implement that plan next year, you can give more consideration to you brothers and sisters.
Over the years, I, the master, have not done them any favors.
Other people's masters always take their apprentices to hold art exhibitions, symposiums and so on.
Only my master will only let them bring their paintings to the art shop again and again to enrich the warehouse. "Wu Xinping became quite emotional as he spoke.
