"This is copied!"

Xu Chongde put on his glasses and looked carefully for a while, then sighed regretfully.

"Are you sure?"

Yang Xiaofan also sighed regretfully, but it was Lanlan. She squatted on the ground and looked up at the familiar painting hanging on the easel, with tears rolling in her eyes.

Tiezhao and Lao Si did not come in. I heard that Yang Xiaofan would take some time, so they took the opportunity to stroll around and meet friends.

Xu Chongde took a few more glances at the pretty good painting copied: "Confirm and sure, by the way, how much did you spend to buy it?"

"Twenty-five." Yang Xiaofan said with some pain.

"It's okay, it's a little bit high, and it's more reasonable. This should be a work from the Republic of China period. The paintings are of high quality and the mounting materials are also very particular. However, there are obvious mistakes in some places, and maybe it's intentional."

Yang Xiaofan shrugged: "It doesn't matter. I have bought it anyway, so I don't plan to sell it again."

Xu Chongde looked at Yang Xiaofan curiously. He didn't think that Yang Xiaofan was starting to fall in love with collecting paintings now, but the more this happened, the more curious he became.

"Why? Are you planning to give it to someone?"

“Yes, buy one get one get one free.”

"Buy one get one free? What's going on?"

Yang Xiaofan smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry Mr. Xu, wait for Huixin to come over and say it together, I'll save you two more times."

Xu Chongde looked at the time and it was almost time to get off work.

"Okay, let's go have tea."

"Well, by the way, do you have anything to eat here for cats?"

"Cat? Oh, by the way. Why are you carrying a cat with you? Pick it up?"

"Well, I picked it up, haha, is there anything I can eat?"

"Is milk OK?"

Yang Xiaofan turned his head and looked at Lanlan: "Lanlan, can you drink some milk?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Can."

Xu Chongde pointed to the kitchen: "Do it yourself, the milk is in the refrigerator, the plate is in the cabinet, I'll make tea."

Xu Huixin got together with Yin Xiuyu. When they arrived at Xu Chongde's studio, they saw that it was the scene where the two were drinking tea and a kitten was drinking milk.

"Where is the painting? Xiaofan."

Yang Xiaofan pointed to the easel in the studio. Xu Huixin threw down the bag in her hand and hurried over. Yin Xiuyu politely greeted Xu Chongde, and then sat down with Yang Xiaofan. The two exchanged a charming look with each other. Then Yin Xiuyu took over the tea, but her eyes were always lingering on the kitten and Yang Xiaofan.

"Is this cat yours own?"

"No, it was picked up by Xiaofan."

Yin Xiuyu looked at Yang Xiaofan curiously. Yang Xiaofan grinned and said, "Let's talk about it when Huixin comes."

Xu Huixin tossed and whispered for a while in front of the painting, and finally sighed regretfully and walked back to the lounge. When she passed by Lanlan, she curiously glanced at the somewhat dirty kitten. Lanlan had eaten the last little milk, and her long-term wandering made Lanlan develop the good habit of not wasting food.

Xu Chongde glanced at Xu Huixin, and it could be seen from her expression that Xu Huixin also thought it was a copy work.

“Copy?”

Xu Huixin nodded and looked at Fang Shi again, with a little apology in her eyes, but more of them seemed to be some unspeakable emotions. Especially when Yin Xiuyu occasionally intertwined with Yang Xiaofan.

"Xiaofan, how much did you spend to buy this painting?"

"Twenty-five."

After Yang Xiaofan finished answering, he looked at Xu Chongde, and Xu Chongde smiled slightly.

"It's expensive, it's more reasonable to have less than 20,000 yuan."

"Haha, you gave three or five thousand more than Mr. Xu. Okay, I'll sell it to you!"

Xu Huixin smiled slightly: "Okay."

Yin Xiuyu said, "You bought it yourself, why did you need Huixin to pay for it?"

Yang Xiaofan glanced at Yin Xiuyu and said aggrievedly: "Are you standing there?"

Yin Xiuyu burst into laughter: "I will help you, don't help you!"

Yang Xiaofan made a face and said, "I can't sell it anymore. I'll give it to Huixin. I have to buy one free one, no, get one free one."

Xu Huixin looked at Yang Xiaofan for no reason: "What is the gift for one?"

Xu Chongde also looked at Yang Xiaofan with great interest, while Yin Xiuyu looked at Lan Lan with some insight. Lan Lan blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Yin Xiuyu, and then turned to Xu Huixin, looking at this woman who might become her own owner.

Xu Huixin felt Yin Xiuyu's eyes, and when she looked along her eyes, she immediately had some guesses.

"By the way, it's this kitten. Her name is Lanlan, and she is a girl."

"Lanlan, why not call him Xiaobai?"

Yang Xiaofan rolled his eyes and glanced at Yin Xiuyu who was deliberately making trouble and said, "Because her ex-proprietor gave her the reason, it is unknown."

"Ex-owner? Is it abandoned?"

Xu Huixin asked curiously, and she even forgot to ask why Suihua wanted to give a cat.

"No, her former owner was the original owner of the painting, but she has passed away."

"oh."

Xu Huixin sighed regretfully, but Yin Xiuyu looked at Lan Lan curiously.

Yang Xiaofan took a sip of tea and continued: "After Lan Lan's ex-protective owner passed away, Lan Lan was kicked out of the house, or it should be said that she was homeless. The house was sold by the old man's children, and the things sold included this painting."

"But what does this painting have to do with Blue Blue?"

"After Lan Lan left home, she wandered around the Gallery of the Oil Painting Village. According to the gallery clerk, Lan Lan often slipped into the store and squatted in front of the painting for most of the day. She was commemorating her old owner, such a loyal cat, did you think it had anything to do with this painting?"

"So, you bought the painting and followed it?"

"Yes, if you want this painting, just accept it together with Blue."

The two women looked at Lan Lan together, and their eyes were a little wet. This is a touching story. Lan Lan is a loyal pet. In fact, no one will refuse such a pet with love.

Xu Chongde was also a little sighed when he heard this. Especially when he was old, he valued friendship even more: "Let me go here, just be my companion."

Yang Xiaofan nodded: "Okay, then I'll ask you to be old. By the way, this guy is very dirty. Take her to the pet store to clean it first and get a vaccination."

Xu Huixin said, "Leave this to me, let's go out for a meal."

Yang Xiaofan nodded: "Please, I'm losing a lot today."

"I'll just ask. Don't worry, the price of that painting will definitely be several times higher than this one."

......

After dinner, they returned to the pet shop to pick up the blue ones that had been washed white and made fragrant.

Yang Xiaofan and Yin Xiuyu didn't plan to go upstairs anymore, so they said goodbye to Xu Huixin and Xu Chongde downstairs.

"Lanlan, goodbye, I'll see you again if I have the chance."

"Thank you, you're a good person."

"Haha, you can also send cheap good guy cards!"

Yang Xiaofan looked up at Xu Huixin: "Okay. We won't go up. I'll contact you if there is any further news. Mr. Xu, say goodbye. By the way, my dad wants a painting of the Three Kingdoms figures. Will the Five Tiger Generals? Can you draw it?"

Xu Chongde curled his lips angrily: "If you dare to ask me, you dare to draw. Don't just complain about it."

"Haha. Come on, I'm very casual, so please."

"Thick skin!"

Xu Huixin muttered dissatisfiedly. Looking at the two people who were holding hands and leaving together, their eyes were full of fire.

"Huh? I finally remembered something was wrong."

Xu Chongde smiled and said, "How did Xiaofan know the name and origin of Lanlan, right?"

Xu Huixin nodded vigorously, and Xu Chongde smiled and said, "Is this important?"

Xu Huixin thought for a while and said, "It's very important. This guy doesn't say it on purpose, there must be something strange about it."

Xu Chongde smiled, reached out to stroke the Lanlan who was looking at Xu Huixin curiously: "Let's go, go upstairs, live with my uncle today. Yangyang has been looking forward to your aunt."

......

Yang Xiaofan and Yin Xiuyu pulled their hands to the parking lot, Tiezha and Lao Si had already crawled on the roof of the car and slept for a night.

“So slow.”

"Haha, you two have had supper."

Tiezhao said dissatisfiedly: "We will starve to death by waiting for you. Okay, go back quickly, there will be a meeting tonight!"
