Chapter 23 Copying and pasting in front of the inkstone pond, planting leeks under the South Mountain
"Qingwa, come here, Mom has something to ask you!"
Liu Cui'e ran out of the kitchen after hearing Li Changqing's voice, wiped her hands on the blue smock and beckoned.
"Oh!"
Li Changqing replied softly, while Li Hongdou was smiling on the side.
"When are you going to bring the girl home and show it to your mother?", Liu Cui'e looked at Li Changqing and asked.
"Mom, don't listen to red bean nonsense, there's nothing to do!", Li Changqing said with a headache.
"I've seen it all, you kiss and touch other girls, do you want to be responsible?", Liu Cui'e said dissatisfiedly.
"I didn't!", Li Changqing said helplessly.
"Not yet, I heard Hongdou say, the girl is looking for you now!", Liu Cui'e retorted.
"Hey, that's just to save people!", Li Changqing said weakly.
"You can't be responsible for saving people, so many people have seen it, how will you let the girl marry in the future?", Liu Cui'e continued.
"Mom, don't think about it so much, I don't even know what other girls' names are!", Li Changqing said.
After a meal, Li Changqing felt like a year, and finally got through all kinds of problems.
Returning to the cabin at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, there is only the sound of running water, frogs, birds, and leaves.
A lone lamp was lit on the wooden table of the grass shed, and it glowed dimly in the dark night, making it seem deep and silent.
Li Changqing felt more and more that Zhong Nanshan was a pure land of bliss, and reaching out to embrace the night was equivalent to embracing the whole world.
After reading the Analects for two or three hours, Li Changqing entered the bamboo forest in the 'Hundred Schools of Thought' as usual.
There are many treasures of calligraphy and painting masters in the bamboo forest, but Li Changqing rarely comes into contact with the brush and needs to start from the most basic.
In regular script, line script, and cursive script, most people will practice regular script first, and a few people will practice line script directly.
Li Changqing chose to start with regular script with formal style, independent strokes, and stable structure, which is in line with his upright and peaceful character.
After looking through the experience of many famous calligraphers on bamboo, Li Changqing customized a strict study plan for himself.
After entering the bamboo forest every day, Li Changqing practiced by the inkstone pool, starting from the most basic pen holding posture.
Although it was only a week since Li Changqing received the reward of washing the inkstone, the time passage of the 'Hundred Schools of Princes' was much slower than that of the real world, and it was day and night!
As soon as he had free time, Li Changqing would practice the way of holding a pen in the inkstone pond until he was exhausted.
Even sometimes when he returned to the real world, Li Changqing drank a few glasses of spiritual water to recover his strength and then went in to practice.
The real world is only a week, but Li Changqing actually practiced the way of writing for several months.
For a long time, Li Changqing didn't write a word, just kept the correct posture as much as possible.
Gradually, how to hold the pen formed an instinct, and Li Changqing finally began to practice point, horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, and stroke.
There are famous treasures in the bamboo forest, such as Yan Zhenqing's "Yan Qinli Tablet", Liu Gongquan's "Mysterious Tower Tablet", Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace Tablet", and Zhao Mengfu's "Bile Tablet", but Li Changqing finally selected the Tang Dynasty Huairen monk's "The Holy Order of Jiwang Xi" as a copy.
The characters in it are all Wang Xizhi's authentic handwritings, the penmanship is strict and the structure is complete, the key is to have basic teaching, otherwise Li Changqing can directly choose Wang Xizhi's regular script "Le Yi Theory" and "Huang Tingjing" to learn.
There is a stone platform next to the inkstone pond, on which there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which will reappear after use.
Li Changqing is like a child learning to write, forgetting the previous things, starting from a point, a horizontal, a skimming, and a pinch, he practiced extremely seriously, until his arm was sore.
After quitting the "Hundred Schools of Thought", Li Changqing watched "Soup Song" as a pastime to pass the time.
Early in the morning, after Li Changqing finished reading, he opened the wooden barrel containing leek seeds.
The leek seeds soaked in it give off small green shoots that look full of life.
Ordinary leek seeds need to be soaked for three days to swell, but the seeds soaked in spiritual water by Li Changqing actually grow tender green shoots in only one night.
Li Changqing walked on the mountain road with a wooden barrel in the sunshine, and went to the vegetable field a little farther away.
Dig a small pit in the vegetable patch and place five or six seeds, leaving a gap of ten centimeters between each pit.
More than 170 packets of leek seeds in the barrels were not planted until the sun went down in the evening.
When he went out to work, Li Changqing never brought his mobile phone, and when he came back, there were more than 100 messages on WeChat.
are all classmates and friends who haven't been in touch for a long time, most of them are asking about saving people, and some of them are curious about Li Changqing's dress.
Li Changqing replied politely one by one, probably talking about the beginning and end of saving people, returning to his hometown to farm, etc.
In the 'New Friends' column of the address book, there is a name called 'Tian Lai Ling'er', with the note 'I am the girl you saved'.
Li Changqing thought about it for a while, and pressed and held to delete the application message.
Bent down and sowed leek seeds for a day, Li Changqing drank spiritual water and it was difficult to recover, but he still insisted on completing all the daily homework.
The leeks have been planted, Li Changqing doesn't have to worry much about the future, he only needs to water some diluted spiritual water with a kettle every day, and it can be completed in less than half an hour.
Li Changqing began to go to Zhong Nanshan to inspect the location of breeding chickens, and found a broad col after walking through the entire Zhong Nan Mountain, the col is a regular triangle, and the mountains on both sides are like two natural walls, and only need to enclose the flat area under the mountain to build a chicken farm.
In addition, Li Changqing also needs to build a chicken coop.
The project is huge, and we can't rush it.
Li Dajiang is usually very busy, and last time he set aside two days to help Li Changqing build a wooden house at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
Moreover, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!
Accepting a fish from others can only satisfy one's hunger for a while, and only by learning how to fish can one be self-sufficient.
Li Changqing plans to use his free time to be a helper for Li Dajiang, learn carpenter's skills, and build a chicken shed by himself.
However, before that, Li Changqing decided to go to the old tea factory to transplant a batch of tea trees.
The old tea factory used to be called 'Dongfeng Tea Factory', which was halfway from Lingxia Countryside to Lijiaao.
When Li Changqing was in elementary school, he often followed his teachers and classmates to Dongfeng Tea Factory to pick tea and do work-study.
But when Li Changqing was promoted to junior high school, Dongfeng Tea Farm was already bankrupt.
Li Changqing went to Li Changwu's house to borrow a tricycle and rode leisurely to the Dongfeng Tea Factory.
Most of the tea factory buildings have collapsed, and only the janitor is still standing.
"What are you doing? Who let you in? Get out, get out!"
A very stern voice came from the guard's room, and an old man in tattered clothes walked out, staring at Li Changqingdao.
