When Ding Manman arrived at the place where Hansen was temporarily staying, she was surprised by the village life in foreign countries.
There was no bustling city here. Every ordinary person lived in a small villa. In China, it was a treatment that only an entrepreneur could enjoy.
As for Hansen, because he was here to do things on a temporary basis, the place where he lived was a little rough. However, the other party was also a famous painter, so the place where Ding Manman stayed was still in the side dish.
The place they lived in was a church in the town. This was once a very prosperous business city in the eighteenth century, but because of all sorts of changes, it was not as prosperous as before.
However, the church in the town is a place where people hold worship. It is still very religious for the citizens of the town. Due to the climate here, the church murals were damaged very quickly. Simply put, Hansen was the one responsible for repairing the murals.
However, Ding Manman was not familiar with the mural, and this was such an important task.
Luckily, when they saw Hansen, the other party only cared about Ding Manman’s talent in art and didn’t want her to take on any work. He pushed away the heavy work on her body and personally took her to the town for a ride. By the way, he said, “I’m sorry for once again. You should have gone back and forth as a guest, but I can’t entertain you properly.”
Of course, Ding Manman wouldn’t shamelessly say that the other party didn’t entertain her well. She just focused on enjoying the scenery along the way.
Halfway through the car, Hanhan seemed to have recalled something and said, “I’m really sorry. Our work this time is at the church. This is an objection to pre-marriage sex. You’re pregnant but you’re not married yet. This is not a good thing.”
“What is it?” Ding Manman was a little nervous. She really had a little fear in her heart. She had finally come here with great difficulty. Was she going to leave because of something?
After briefly pondering for a while, he said, “There are only two options for you to enter the church. The first is to choose to respect the church and worship it. To tell the Lord that you have sinned and ask the Lord to forgive you, and to ask for forgiveness, the other way is that you can only come to the church at night when no one is present.”
Ding Manman didn’t know much about Buddhism, so she was a little worried when she heard this, but she quickly added, “I think the second method is very suitable for you because you didn’t fully adapt to the time difference you just came here. I can wait until tonight to teach you something. Then you have one night to summarize what I said.”
After listening to it, Ding Manman chose to accept the second arrangement. Although she was a little depressed, it was good to be able to accept the incantation of art.
During the day, she had been busy in the church for a short period of time. After Ding Manman had made a meal for him, she went out for a walk. When she had briefly asked Hen to take her away, she was a little bit distracted. She really wanted to experience the exotic scenery here.
However, after the first experience, Ding Manman gave her a very bad feeling. The prices here were simply too expensive compared to China. The savings that had been enough for her to live in the country for two or three years were probably not enough for her to stay here for half a year, which stimulated her mood to earn money.
However, she had to wait for Hanhan to help her handle all of this, but she had already understood the teacher’s schedule, which meant she was very busy, so she didn’t know when she would be able to handle it.
When she first entered the church, Ding Manman was shocked. This was the first time she had come to this place where faith was concentrated. When she was young, her understanding of the church was still focused on the wedding of girls, but now it seemed that she could only sigh for his majesty. The spire building was inlaid with stained glass, and the flat wall described the story of creation with a mural.
Sometimes, she almost couldn’t hold it in and wanted to have a religion, but she could still distinguish what faith was cultural respect.
Every night, Ding Manman ate dry bread in small bites in order to save money. Most of the time, she bought the special overnight bread in the bread store, which increased her estimated time to one year.
The murals here were very rich. Even though the previous paint had started to fall off after the baptism of time, one could still see some extraordinary demeanor. Compared to the simple repair done by Hansen, one could find that the person who created it was extraordinary.
There was a paint that Hansen didn’t have time to clean up, which made Ding Manman’s hand itchy. She knew that she wasn’t qualified to paint on the wall of the church, so she carefully painted the color on the light palette of Hansen. When she felt satisfied, she compared it to the traces on the wall and mentally evaluated if her composition was accurate.
However, Ding Manman didn’t expect that when she was doing these things, she would have been closed in by Hansen, who was at the door. She saw him walk over with a gloomy face and flatly said, “I didn’t expect you to be such an easy person.”
Ding Manman felt like she had been misunderstood. Just as she wanted to explain, she was briefly interrupted by Hansen, “But if it wasn’t for your good actions, I might not have known your true talent. I came because I remembered that I haven’t had classes for you tonight, but I don’t think that I’ve discovered your problem yet.”
Having received such an evaluation from the other party, Ding Manman felt sweet in her heart. She put down the color palette and retreated to the side to continue quietly admiring the exquisite murals on the wall.
“This mission is very tight. If you can, come and help me. Just create it. I don’t think you’ll leave many mistakes for me to modify.”
“But because of your special identity, you can only paint at night. Do you have any complaints?”
“No way.” Ding Manman nodded excitedly. It looked like a child had received a gift that he had been looking forward to for a long time. The light from those bright eyes wouldn’t deceive anyone, and it made Hansen feel warm in his heart.
Ding Manman wouldn’t choose to believe it because everyone’s beliefs were different. She firmly believed that she was not wrong with her own child, and it was just because art allowed her to meet with religion, but she couldn’t tie them up.
When Ding Manman started to write, she was also very confident because the oil painting could be modified but it was difficult to change it. Since it was not impossible to retreat, she would try bravely.
