130 On the first day of the Lunar New Year, portrait of childhood
"Smiling, this couplet you wrote is good! Smooth sailing, good every year, all the best! It contains your expectations for the new year, as well as blessings for your loved ones. Liang Shiyun commented on the Spring Festival couplets written by Zhan with a smile.
"Yours is also a good one! Everything is good and auspicious, and the family is happy and healthy! And you husband and wife have a very tacit understanding, and Lou Gongzi wrote a family photo of Fuxing Gaozhao, and the spring is full of spring! The couplets written are all family-oriented, indicating that your family is living happily, and I hope it will continue to be the same this year. In fact, writing couplets is somewhat similar to writing articles, that is, it will be written according to the mood and feelings of the person who writes at this time, so you can refer to one or two from the content, so it is an article and couplet with personal characteristics! Zhan smiled and commented pertinently.
"Okay, don't praise each other, after all, all of us have well-written couplets, and they are just to pass the time, so these couplets don't need to be posted. If you don't want to write couplets, you can also write about other things, such as New Year's greetings, or whatever you want to write down, just for an interest! Guan Lao took a sip of wine and said.
He has just written a few couplets, all of which are quite good, and the couplets he wrote in such a relaxed atmosphere are naturally very good. Even the illiterate Uncle Fang and Aunt Fu, as well as the invisible Zhan Xiaoning, also dictated one of their own, so that Zhan Xiaoyan, Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhan Xiaotian all wrote it, and they didn't need to be particularly particular about anything, no matter what the couplet was, they could find something to appreciate!
"Then grandpa, let's play a game of chess! It just so happened that Uncle Fang took out all his expectations, and it was chess, we usually have little contact, so let's take a good game now! Zhan smiled and put down his pen, walked to the chair with the chessboard and sat down, arranged the black and white wife on both sides of the chessboard, and asked him to come and take the first step.
"Okay, then let's play a good game of chess and see how much chess we have in this chess." Guan Lao said, walked to the chair on the other side and sat down, and then the first step was to jump the horse. Zhan Xiaoyan thought about it, the first step was the 'car', because she was still steady, step by step It was better to take it slowly! And she thought that although chess is usually quite rare, Guan Lao must have seen it, at least he must have played more times than herself, from every move he takes now.
"Alright, General! Girl, you lost this game of chess, do you need another game? After a quarter of an hour, this game of chess was over, because Zhan Xiaoyan had no experience, so her white pieces were eaten a lot by Guan Lao, and finally they were directly killed by the general, and his chess pieces were only eaten by his own side of the chess pieces, which is still she probably knows the rules, so she will lose, and she expects it.
"No need, grandpa, I'll just play a game of chess with you, and then let Xiaotian and Xiaoyu play, and then you guide the two of them and let them learn to play chess." They already know how to play Go, and I think it will be better if they learn to play it as well. Zhan Xiaoyan said as he stood up, Guan Lao nodded, and also stood up. Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhan Xiaoning also came over and sat down. Guan Lao first began to teach them all the chess pieces to recognize, and then taught them where each chess piece was on the chessboard, and the brothers also listened very carefully.
After Zhan Xiaoyan stood up, he walked to the side, arranged the paints one by one, carefully painted the scene in front of him, and then let the ink or paint on it dry, and then stood up here and came to Zhan Xiaoning's room. At this time, she was accompanying Xiaoya, because Bai Junya happened to be asleep, so Aunt Fu came out to pour tea for everyone, and only Zhan Xiaoning, who did not come out, accompanied her.
Although Zhan Xiaoning is already very accustomed to living in the dark, it is still a little difficult for her to write, so she didn't come out this time, and it happened that Xiaoya fell asleep again, so she accompanied her. And Zhan Xiaoyan painted all the scenes she couldn't see one by one, and when she regained her sight in the future, she could see not only her father and mother, but also the scenes they usually got along.
"Xiao Ning, what are you doing? Practicing calligraphy? Well, the writing is still good, the words on the sand are quite clear, although there are a few stacked together, but look at the font, it's also very good, you're great! Zhan Xiaoyan walked in and saw Zhan Xiaoning washing his hands. Because she also wants to practice calligraphy, she made a sand table for her little sister, so that she can write directly on it with her fingers or a stick, and after writing, she can write new words directly with a slide of the stick.
The reason why she didn't use pen and ink paper directly was because she was afraid that ink would get on her sleeves when she wrote, or that her little sister would not be able to write smoothly on rice paper when she was in her shoes. Because Xiaomei is still very concerned about not being able to see this, especially when she writes, she doesn't want others to see it, so even if there are maids by her side in [Sun Warm Villa], when she writes, she will let them all leave.
"Sister, why are you here? Have all the couplets been written? Zhan Xiaoning said as she was about to walk to the sand table and erase all the words she had written, but because she was in such a hurry, she almost fell, and Zhan Xiaoyan grabbed her in time, knowing what she cared about.
"Silly girl, are you still afraid that your sister will see what you wrote? Or do you think that what your sister said is not the truth? Because your situation is different from Xiaoyu Xiaotian, I taught you every word by hand, and I wrote it with your hand one by one, and then told you what kind of word it was. Even though until now, you can only write your own name and then the words 'sister, brother', but it's already good for you. What's more, now, grandpa has been treating you, and you're about to regain your sight, so don't feel embarrassed. ”
She has always known about her sister's sensitive thoughts, but she has never said it, because she knows that it is Xiao Ning's self-esteem. But because sometimes the little sister will also drill the tip of the horns, so at this time, as a sister, of course, you have to wake her up and pull her out of the horns, otherwise if you let her stay inside, it will get worse and worse in the back, after all, she is only eight years old, and her life has just begun!
"Sister, I know! I just subconsciously did this, forgetting that every word I can write is taught to me by my sister, so how about what I write, sister, of course you know best, and there is no need to hide it! Zhan Xiaoning also figured it out at this time, and said a little embarrassed.
"Okay, Xiaoya is really well-behaved, she will only cry when she is hungry and wants to eat, and when she has urine and feces on her body, usually as long as we tease her, she will giggle, much better than the three of you when you were young!" Zhan Xiaoyan saw that Zhan Xiaoning had drilled out of the horns, so he didn't continue the topic, and looked at Bai Junya, who was still sleeping peacefully, and said.
"Really? Sister, what did my two brothers and I look like before? Since you are two years older than us, when we were born, you were only two years old, sister, did you start taking care of us when you were so young? Hearing Zhan Xiaoyan say this, Zhan Xiaoning asked very curiously.
"Hehe, of course I can't take care of you, because at that time I didn't walk too steadily, and when I didn't enter to see and hold on, I didn't fall down, where can I take care of you! So it's always the three of you lying together, and then I'm sitting next to you, and the nurse is watching. I don't remember all the things when I was a child, but I know that at that time, when one of you cried, the other two would immediately cry, and then the nurse would come forward to pick you up and coax you, it was really lively! ”
Zhan said with a smile. For the things when she was a child, probably everyone didn't remember a few, so what she remembered most clearly was the scene when the three younger siblings cried, remembering that she wouldn't cry at that time, but she would look at them curiously, and couldn't figure out how they could have such a big energy in their small bodies, burst out with such a loud cry, and then let the nurses coax for a long time before they stopped.
"Really? It turns out that my sister remembers the way we cried when we were young so clearly? We ourselves don't know what we were like when we were young, and the only people we know are our parents, but they're all gone, and we don't know who to ask if we want to. Zhan Xiaoning said with some regret. Because today I heard my sister talk about what happened when they were children, she wanted to know what she and her two older brothers and eldest sister were like when they were children.
"Silly girl, my father and mother are gone, isn't there still me? Although I only remember the three of you howling and crying, I still remember what you looked like at that time, and now if you think about it a little, you can remember it all, and I can draw what you looked like when you were a child! Wait, my sister is going to get a paintbrush and paint! Zhan smiled and walked out of the room, the picture he had drawn before should be almost dry.
"Girl, where are you going to pack all these things? I have taught Xiaoyu and Xiaotian, and now they are already playing chess by themselves, so they don't need me to give too much guidance, just occasionally mention a sentence or two, their talent in chess is good! Guan Lao happened to know that Zhan Xiaoyan had made a move, and when he turned around, he saw that Zhan Xiaoyan had rolled up the painting he had painted before, and put away the brushes and paints, so he asked.
"Oh, my little sister said she wanted to know what she was like when she was a child, so I'm going to draw her now." While answering, the movements of his hands did not stop, until finally, everything was packed up, and then he walked into the room. When the others heard her say this, they all stopped what they were doing, because they also wanted to know what Zhan Xiaoning was like when she was a child, and they also wanted to know how she would draw it.
Zhan Xiaoyan walked into the study, put the paints and pen, ink, paper and inkstone one by one, the first one to pick up was naturally a brush, and then dipped in ink, the three babies were drawn, and then picked up a thinner pen, dipped in white paint, and began to paint swaddling, and then used red paint to paint the bed on which they were lying. After the three babies were painted, they also painted Zhan Shibo and Li Shi on them, and they stood by the bed, looking at the three children......
With the combination of colors and the sketching of a pen, the scene of a family of five gradually jumped on the paper. The reason why Zhan Xiaoyan can draw is because she needs to draw style sketches first to make jewelry, so she first learned how to draw objects, and then gradually learned how to draw portraits. In this life, she painted the most is her father and mother, and then there is the scene when the three of them grow up year by year, for what they looked like when they were babies, this is really the first time to paint, so she painted very seriously.
After more than half an hour, Zhan Xiaoyan stopped moving, it was already dark outside, and it was time for dinner again, fortunately, as soon as she walked into the study, she lit the candle, so now that she came back from serious painting, she would not feel that the room was dim. Zhan Xiaoyan walked out of the study, but he didn't expect everyone to stand at the door, and Yan Qihao still raised his hand, obviously about to knock on the door, Zhan Xiaoyan asked him with his eyes, what's wrong?
"Smiling, is that painting ready? Because we also want to see what Xiao Ning looked like when she was a child, and I think you plan to wait for her to regain her sight before letting her see it, right? So I wonder if you can give us a sneak peek? Yan Qihao asked politely, although Zhan Xiaoyan's body only occupied half of the door of the study, if he wanted to go in, it would be the same if he went in from the side, but he still chose to respect Zhan Xiaoyan and went in again with his consent.
"Good! Xiaoyu, Xiaotian, my sister also drew you, because it is still a baby in swaddling clothes, so I can't see men and women at all, my sister painted what you looked like when you were forty days old, go in and have a look! Zhan smiled and stepped away, with a little cunning in his eyes, because it must be interesting.
Because Zhan Xiaoyu, Zhan Xiaotian and Zhan Xiaoning are triplets, and they can't tell the men and women in the swaddling clothes, and they haven't fully grown up when they are young, so the three little faces are almost exactly the same, and she only draws them differently in subtle places, so at first glance, they will definitely feel that only the color of the swaddling clothes is different, and the three of them will not be able to see who is whom, even if they are themselves, they may not be able to tell who is who.
