Two generations of military wives compete for time

Qian Yizhen said: "Grandma Lu, your paintings are so beautiful, but it's a pity that you always let them curl up and sleep in the studio. We will help you and hold an exhibition.

You can also sell them for charity, and use the proceeds to help poor children in the mountains... Doing good deeds is a good thing, why not do it, right?"

After hearing this, Grandma Lu Jingde's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Can my paintings really be sold for money? I am not a painter by profession, it's just my hobby. I usually only paint as a gift to relatives and friends, and I have never thought about selling paintings to make money."

Ming Yuanhui said, "Grandma Lu, your paintings are very beautiful, especially the painting of rich peonies, which looks just like the real thing. There will definitely be no problem holding an exhibition or charity sale of your paintings. Maybe they will become popular."

After Han Shiyan learned about Grandma Lu Jingde's situation, she immediately called to invite Grandma Lu Jingde to stay at Yanbo Villa. She also transferred two young waiters from the Huaguoshan Hotel and sent a special car to accompany Grandma Lu Jingde and Uncle Chen Zhuoran into the mountains to sketch and paint.

After learning about Grandma Lu Jingde's situation, Li Hongmei sent her paintings that she drew in her spare time from Kunming, along with a book "Grandma Moses", to encourage Grandma Lu Jingde to overcome difficulties and live a good life.

The book says: There was a grandmother named Moses in the United States. At the age of 76, she gave up embroidery due to arthritis and switched to painting. At the age of 80, she held her first exhibition in New York and became one of the most famous genre painters in the United States.

His works are based on the theme of rural life, with bright colors and full of childlike fun. He created more than 1600 works in his later years and was hailed as a representative of "late bloomer".

Grandma Moses once encouraged the Japanese youth Junichi Watanabe to persist in writing, conveying the idea that "it is never too late to start life."

Five days later, Grandma Lu Jingde came back to life. She sat in a wheelchair in high spirits, breathing the fresh air in the Huaguoshan Scenic Area and the Blue Swallow Flying Scenic Area, painting with great concentration, attracting many tourists to stop and watch.

After more than a decade of investment, greening and renovation, the Huaguoshan Scenic Area and the Blue Swallow Flying Scenic Area finally received good news, gained the reputation of "Jiangnan in the North", and won the title of "National Soil and Water Conservation Science and Technology Demonstration Park".

Tourists flocked to the hotel, and the rooms at Huaguoshan Hotel and Blue Swallow Flying Hotel were fully booked every day. Guests could only stay there by reservation in advance. The ticket revenues of Huaguoshan Scenic Area and Blue Swallow Flying Scenic Area skyrocketed, more than ten times the expected revenue.

Han Shiyan hired an advertising designer for the scenic area from Hong Kong to replan and renovate the scenic spot introduction, signposts, route maps, rest pavilions, etc., making the scenic area more pleasant, convenient and comfortable. Tourists lingered and attracted a large number of repeat customers.

After Hong Kong's return to China, Hong Kong Tourism Board and Minzhen Qizhi Company worked together to attract many Hong Kong tourists. At the same time, Minzhen Qizhi Company also introduced tourists coming to Huaguoshan Scenic Area and Blue Swallow Flying Scenic Area to Hong Kong Tourism Board.

As a result, the number of mainland tourists traveling to Hong Kong increased significantly, the efficiency of Hong Kong travel companies increased greatly, and the cooperation between Hong Kong travel companies and Minzhen Qizhi Company achieved a win-win situation, and everyone was happy.

Junyan and Feiyan were admitted to the university's tourism major as they wished. During the summer vacation, they worked as intern tour guides in the Huaguoshan Scenic Area and the Lanyan Flying Scenic Area.

At the same time, it has effectively driven the rapid development of Pingzhou County's tourism industry and further stimulated the enthusiasm of domestic tourists to travel to Hong Kong. As a result, the revenue of large hotels under the Hong Kong Chen Group has also continued to rise.

One evening in August, Junyan and Feiyan returned to Yanbo Villa after receiving tourists. They were so tired that they didn’t even want to eat. They returned to their room and fell asleep immediately.

Junyan and Feiyan, two good friends, volunteered to come to Huaguoshan Scenic Area and Lanyan Feixiang Scenic Area to be tour guides and take tourists after the summer vacation. They have been working continuously for more than ten days, running around in the mountains of the scenic area every day, and they are tired but happy.

Han Shiyan and Li Baoguo returned to Yanbo Villa after get off work. During dinner, Han Shiyan asked the housekeeper, "Junyan, Feiyan, haven't you come back yet?"

The housekeeper said: "They have returned. They said they were tired and didn't want to eat, so they went back to their room to sleep."

Han Shiyan went upstairs to Junyan and Feiyan's bedroom, knocked on the door gently, pushed it open, and entered, only to see the two of them sleeping soundly. She quietly sat at the desk, left a note for them, tiptoed out, closed the door, and went downstairs for dinner.

The next morning, Junyan woke up and stretched comfortably. His stomach kept growling. He pushed Feiyan who was still sleeping soundly and said, "Hey, it's dawn. It's time to get up. I'm hungry. Are you hungry? I'm going downstairs to eat."

Junyan walked to the desk and found a note written by Aunt Shiyan: "Junyan, Feiyan, get ready. The day after tomorrow, three Americans will come to visit Huaguoshan Scenic Area and Lanyan Feixiang Scenic Area.

The English guide at the scenic spot has something urgent to do, so you two are the substitutes. Two cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. "Jun Yan read the content of the note and immediately screamed: "It's over, it's over, my English level is as low as it can be, how dare I speak English to Americans."
