Chapter 101 Precocious little Lori
With Hui Niang's consent, Shen Xi immediately devoted himself to the creation of the original picture of the comic strip.
Because comic strips must be in line with the content of the story, unlike landscape paintings, which can be drawn casually and freely, they can be used to depict the scene while being close to the content of the story, and play the role of knowing what is happening at a glance.
This is no small challenge for Shen Xi.
Shen Xi has not seen the comic strips of "The Legend of Yue Quan" and "The Legend of Tong Lin", he can only create the original painting according to his imagination, he plans to take "The Legend of Tong Lin" to practice for the time being, because this kind of martial arts story, the audience has a greater demand for a sense of picture, those moves and actions expressed in words, as well as the huge martial arts scenes, will make people feel more immersive and more immersed in the picture.
For a few days, in addition to going to school, eating, and sleeping, Shen Xi devoted almost all other time to creating comic books, and even Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er begged him to tell a story, but he refused.
Fortunately, there is no need to hide and hide like a fake comic book, even if Zhou and Shen Mingjun find out that he is drawing, they don't pay much attention to it.
At first, Shen Xi used a brush to draw, but found that the brush could not outline small lines many times, so Shen Xi used bamboo branches to draw, and later used charcoal, but he still felt that he could not take advantage of it.
In desperation, Shen Xi simply played with a variety of pens, and had no experience in drawing the original picture book for the first time, so he tried the effect first, and as for the technique, he could improve it when he turned back.
After a few days of hard work, Shen Xi finally completed the original comic book of the first volume of "The Legend of Tong Lin", and he showed the painting to Hui Niang and Zhou, who each took it to read it, and couldn't put it down for a while.
Zhou Shi stammered: "Han Wa'er, how did you draw this?" The old lady is illiterate, but she can also see a general meaning, what words are written below, you read it. ”
Hui Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister wants to hear it, go back and tell you about it, Xiaolang has worked hard and has to rest well...... I didn't expect him to be so good at painting at such a young age, and he would definitely sell well when he went back and printed it into a book. ”
Zhou scolded: "I let him go to school, and he learned some messy things." Han Wa'er, have you regressed in your studies recently? ”
"Nope."
Shen Xi hurriedly haha, "What did my mother say, I drew it in my spare time, and my homework was not delayed at all, if you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. when I turn around, Mr. has always praised me recently." ”
In this matter, Shen Xi lied. His grades have not regressed, because the content that has been engraved in his brain is difficult to erase, but Su Yunzhong, the teacher of the school, has not given him a good look recently, it turns out that Ye Zhixian saw the "Kindergarten Qionglin" that was originally to be written in the late Ming Dynasty Chongzhen period, and the more he watched it, the more he liked it, and he intended to promote it in various schools in the county, which made Su Yunzhong feel a little embarrassed.
The old gentleman is a man with a head and a face, and he can't embarrass a child, but he is still a lot colder to Shen Xi.
Hui Niang hurriedly comforted the next Zhou family, and put the comic book into her arms rarely: "I see that Xiaolang has done a good job in his homework on weekdays, and even Xi'er and Dai'er have made progress in their studies, so my sister doesn't have to worry." Tomorrow I'll give the drawings to the printers and ask them to engrave the plates...... But I wonder if it's easy to carve? ”
Shen Xi said with a smile: "Aunt Sun relax, if those masters don't know how to carve, I can do it myself." ”
Zhou finally couldn't help it, grabbed the broom and was about to hit Shen Xi: "You fool, why do you really think you can?" You've already delayed your studies when you paint, and you're going to engrave the printing plate to see if the old lady doesn't beat you up as a stinky boy who doesn't do your job! ”
Shen Xi has long learned elves, after all, he is one year older and his legs and feet are sharper, and it is really difficult for Zhou to beat him. When Shen Xi fled to the backyard to meet Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er, Zhou put away the broom with a relieved smile on his face.
"My sister is so blessed, Xiaolang is well-behaved and sensible, and she is so filial, and my sister will be blessed in the future." Hui Niang said with sincere envy.
Zhou smiled and said: "My sister is wrong, this kid is always naughty and mischievous, and he may not be successful when he grows up." Besides, even if he becomes a talent, it is also the credit of your sister, if it weren't for my sister to take in our family, we would all have to go back to the countryside, where would I have the opportunity to let him study? ”
Hui Niang sighed: "But my sister always feels that things are the other way around, if I hadn't met you, my sister wouldn't have been able to live with her daughter." ”
Both women were emotional, and they were grateful to each other.
The two of them were in the pharmacy, and before dinner in the evening, Zhou solemnly took Shen Xi to Hui Niang's room.
"Xiaolang, I have discussed with your Aunt Sun, and I want your Aunt Sun to accept you as a righteous son, and in the future, you will treat Aunt Sun as a mother, do you agree?" Zhou stood beside Hui Niang and said with a serious face.
Shen Xi's pupils dilated, thinking that he had misheard. He doesn't like the relationship between his son and his mother, in the end, he has some thoughts about Hui Niang, if he really kowtows, doesn't he say that he will never have a chance when he grows up?
Shen Xi had a bitter face: "Mother, it's enough for me to have one of you, why do you want two mothers?" ”
Zhou was furious when he heard this, and scolded and scolded: "Stinky boy, the old lady just said that you are not an ungrateful person, and now you will slap the old lady in the face?" Just ask you if you want to, if you don't agree, the old lady will not recognize you as a son. ”
Hui Niang hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't worry, didn't we say okay and let Xiaolang decide for himself?" ”
Shen Xi hurriedly laughed: "Mother, you didn't understand what I meant. In fact, I want to say that even if I don't worship Aunt Sun as my stepmother, I will treat her as the closest person to support, and I like Aunt Sun in my heart! ”
"It's like a human saying."
Only then did Zhou give up picking Shen Xi's ears, but he was still dissatisfied, "Since you respect Aunt Sun, as you get older, there is always a difference between men and women, how do you support Aunt Sun?" Only when you worship your stepmother, when you are a child, your aunt loves you, and when you grow up, you can honor her justifiably and filial piety. That's it, kowtow. ”
Shen Xi is embarrassed not to mention in his heart, Hui Niang is a gentle and virtuous person, knowledgeable and reasonable, he is simply his dream lover, but there are many reasons for him, Hui Niang is a widow, married and had children, and the age difference between the two is too big, almost to the point of "I was not born, I am old".
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Xi said: "Since we are worshipping our stepmother, do we also have to ask Xi'er what she means?" Let's see if Xi'er is willing to accept me as a brother......"
Hui Niang nodded: "It's time to ask, Xi'er is good with Xiaolang on weekdays, and she will be very happy to know that there is such a brother." ”
Zhou also agreed, and the two went out to summon Lu Xi'er in, and little Lori jumped into the house.
Hui Niang lowered her body, wrapped her hand around her daughter's little shoulder, and asked, "Xi'er, my mother wants to take your brother Shen Xi as her righteous son, and you will be commensurate with his brother and sister in the future, okay?" ”
The smile on Lu Xi'er's face immediately faded, her small mouth pursed, her eyes were clear, and tears fell: "I...... I don't want Brother Shen Xi to be my brother...... Woo......"
Xiao Nizi broke free of Hui Niang's hand and ran out of the house crying, walking very resolutely without looking back.
This surprised Hui Niang and Zhou, who never expected Xiao Nizi not only to disagree, but also to be so sad.
Hui Niang didn't care about accepting Shen Xi as her righteous son, so she hurriedly chased her out to see her daughter's situation.
Waiting for Hui Niang to go out, Zhou looked at Shen Xi: "What did you do to Xi'er?" ”
"Mother, you really wronged me...... You also saw it just now, the child just wanted Aunt Sun to ask Xia Xi'er what she meant, but she really didn't do anything. Shen Xi looked innocent.
Hui Niang arrived at her daughter's room, and after coaxing Lu Xi'er for a long time, she still cried non-stop, until Hui Niang promised not to mention the matter of accepting Shen Xi as her righteous son, Lu Xi'er's tears stopped.
Hui Niang hugged Lu Xi'er for a long time, after all, her daughter was the most important thing in her heart, and she didn't want to think about anything else.
At dinner, Hui Niang and Zhou got together and muttered, feeling that something was wrong.
Zhou asked in a low voice, "Could it be that two small ones quarreled?" ”
At this time, Lu Xi'er took her small bowl, walked up to Shen Xi, and used chopsticks to clip the mutton slices in the bowl in front of Shen Xi: "Brother Shen Xi, give it to you." ”
"Hmm."
Shen Xi smiled bitterly and took it directly with his mouth. Lu Xi'er returned to Hui Niang's side with her eyebrows, sat on the bench and continued to eat the shabu slices fished out of the hot pot.
Seeing that the two are intimate, where does it look like they have quarreled?
Now Hui Niang and Zhou are even more confused, no matter how you look at it, Lu Xi'er seems to like Shen Xi very much, but I don't know why she didn't agree to Hui Niang to accept Shen Xi as her righteous son.
At night, Zhou and Hui Niang still slept together, Shen Xi had just laid down on Xiaoyu's bed, the door opened, and the two little Loli came over holding hands again.
"Brother Shen Xi, let's listen to the story." Lu Xi'er jumped on the bed, got into Shen Xi's arms, laughed and coddled in the bed.
"Hmph, don't be ashamed, it's not good to let your brother Shen Xi be your brother, crying and laughing."
Lin Dai was a little dissatisfied, but she still followed her to bed, this time she came over with a pillow, so as not to sleep on the same pillow with Shen Xi again.
Shen Xi asked suspiciously, "Xi'er, your mother wanted me to be her son before, why didn't you agree?" ”
"I don't want to."
Lu Xi'er's eyes showed a hint of wisdom, "Brother Shen Xi told the story of Nuwa Niangniang and Fu Xi, they are brother and sister, so others don't agree with them as husband and wife, if you can't be husband and wife, you can't be together forever, Xi'er wants to marry Brother Shen Xi when she grows up, so that she can accompany Brother Shen Xi for a lifetime." ”
Shen Xi was speechless for a while, he didn't expect Lu Xi'er to be so young that she looked innocent and innocent, and she would hide her thoughts. Or maybe the stories he told were too close to reality, so that Lu Xier could understand some truth from these stories and help little Lori mature psychologically.
When Lin Dai heard this, she got angry again, this time she simply jumped off the bed, picked up the pillow and left.
"Little daughter-in-law, what are you going to do?" Shen Xi hurriedly asked.
"Let's sleep with your sister Xi'er, don't call me my little daughter-in-law, hmph, I won't pay attention to you in the future."
Lin Dai felt sad, hugged the pillow and walked out, but as soon as she arrived at the door, she was chased and stopped by Shen Xi. After making peace, Lin Dai pouted and reluctantly returned to the bed, and even turned her back to Shen Xi when she listened to the story, looking like she loved to ignore it.
