Chapter 143: Paper Umbrellas
Chen Wen first recovered from a serious illness, so he sat on the stove to add torches, watching the firewood burn more and more intensely, the lid of the pot with a tight lid was steaming outward, not cold at all, Chen Wen rubbed his dry hands, and looked out from time to time.
Grandma hasn't come back yet.
When Chen Wen finished cooking, as soon as it was put on the table, the door was pushed open, Li Suniang returned with a body of air conditioning, the door was only opened for a moment, and the wind took advantage of the weakness to enter, Chen Wen was cold and closed his eyes.
Li Suniang closed the door, threw aside the things she had been holding in her arms, took off her warm coat, patted it twice with pity, and then hung it up.
Chen Wen's gaze was attracted by what Li Suniang had dropped, which were several oil-paper umbrellas with blank umbrellas.
"How did you buy so many umbrellas?"
There was no umbrella at home, only two coats, and once it was drizzling, Chen Wen came back from outside, and when her grandmother patted the raindrops on her body, she mentioned it, saying that she wanted to buy an umbrella for her.
But it's not raining every day.
So grandma never said it again, and Chen Wen thought she had forgotten.
I never thought about it, but I remember it until now.
Li Suniang glanced at the umbrella that she threw away at will: "It was sent by Xiangying, it's not almost the New Year, her daughter-in-law returned home first, bringing a lot of oil-paper umbrellas, Xiangying asked me if I wanted it, I thought I didn't say that I wanted to buy an umbrella for the family, so I brought it back." ”
Chen Wen walked over, picked up one of them, and stretched it open.
Indeed, this umbrella is a failure.
I don't even paint the umbrella surface, it seems that the merchant doesn't want the umbrella.
The umbrella is very large, but the umbrella bones are not well made, there are a few crumbling, and the drizzle is okay to say, but as long as the rain and wind are slightly stronger, it is easy to be blown off.
But after all, it is an umbrella, as long as it can hold it, these are all minor problems for Chen Wen.
Li Suniang saw Chen Wen holding an umbrella in the house, and said: "The umbrella in the house is not tall." ”
"Smack." Chen Wen put down the umbrella, closed it quickly, and shook his head with a smile: "I haven't survived." ”
Just kidding, how tall is she now? About 1.5 meters, whether there is 1.5 meters is still to be discussed, she is not convinced!
Can't grow tall.
"Okay, I didn't make it."
Li Suniang said perfunctorily, and then sat down to eat: "Don't play with that umbrella, come over and eat, it's going to be cold for a while." ”
“……”
After eating, Li Suniang took over the work of washing the dishes, and Chen Wen sat on the side and played with the umbrellas.
Not to mention anything else, the handle of the umbrella is very tight, Chen Wen looked at it from a distance, and he didn't realize what kind of bird it was, with a long tail, and it was very tactile to hold.
If it weren't for the poor performance of the umbrella bones, after painting the umbrella surface, the price of this umbrella should be expensive, and it would never fall into Chen Wen's hands.
can hold a white umbrella, which is really unlucky.
Chen Wen stroked the blank umbrella surface and suddenly had an idea.
She went into the room, got pen and ink, took a brush, and began to draw on the umbrella.
She draws carefully, carefully sketching one stroke at a time. Soon, the picture of the fish playing in the water appeared on the umbrella surface.
After she finished painting, Li Suniang happened to wash the dishes, shook the water in her hand, and Chen Wen turned sideways to protect her painting.
"Grandma, don't dump it." After a while, the water stained the mill.
Li Suniang really stopped and didn't shake off, she asked, "What to do?" ”
"Look." Chen Wen moved out of the way and let Li Suniang see clearly.
Li Suniang immediately smacked her tongue when she looked at it, pointed to the painting on the umbrella surface, and asked Chen Wen in a trembling voice: "This is what you painted?" ”
"yes, I just drew it."
"How are you, how are you ......"
"How can you draw, right, maybe it's talent." Chen Wen, who is stinky and shameless, summed up the painting skills he has learned for more than ten years with the word talent: "What is grandma surprised, I didn't see you surprised when I sketched my flowers." ”
"I'm shocked, I'm surprised that my granddaughter can draw, but I can't understand your previous drawing, but I can understand your painting."
Li Suniang wanted to point to the fish, but found that her hands were not dry, so she hurriedly took it back, for fear of staining the painting.
"This fish, this fish can't even draw scales?"
"Awesome." Chen Wen blinked, in fact, her most powerful thing is not to paint objects, but to paint people.
Li Suniang appreciated it as a whole, although she didn't understand, but only Chen Wen's painting skills were good. Can she believe Chen Wen's nonsense? Say it's her talent to paint?
She shouldn't have been the daughter of a big family before, right?
Thinking of this, Li Suniang's heart chuckled.
She has never inquired carefully about Chen Wen's family situation, nor does she know how many people in her family are, only relying on Chen Wen to know that her family is in trouble, and she is fleeing from the famine.
Isn't this little girl afraid that she won't want her, and she's talking nonsense, right?
But it's not right to think about it, when Chen Wen came to Zhangjia Village, he was skinny, his face was like two flesh, his clothes were shabby, and there were many patches, which really didn't look like a big family.
But what small family can raise their daughter like this?
Could it be that it's really due to her talent?
Li Suniang believes her, then there are ghosts.
She looked at Chen Wen's eyes, it was obviously wrong, and Chen Wen's smile stiffened.
"I draw, am I not good at drawing?"
"Good, good, very good."
"That'...... Why did Grandma look at me like that? ”
This kind of look full of doubts made Chen Wen's heart furious.
Li Suniang pulled Chen Wen's arm with a serious expression: "You tell me truthfully, what is the situation in your family, how can you raise your daughter like this?" ”
Was it doubtful to the background?
Chen Wen fell into deep thought, and after a long time, she suddenly smiled: "Didn't I say it." ”
Just kidding, can she tell Li Suniang the truth about her coming from another world? No, she was afraid that her grandmother would faint if she found out.
Moreover, she is a dove occupying the magpie's nest, and she doesn't know whose body it is, which is even more terrifying.
"I'm not talking nonsense, although it's not a talent, I've studied it for a long time." Chen Wen looked directly into Li Suniang's eyes: "But I am a girl from an ordinary family, before I was killed, all the knowledge I had was cultivated by my parents, and I was the only child in the family, so I ......"
As she spoke, Chen Wen's eyes were full of tears, and Li Suniang stretched out her hand to wipe her tears: "Don't cry, don't cry, I don't ask." ”
It turned out to be the only child in the family, so it is indeed understandable to be cultivated like this and pampered like this.
Xu said that her family made her sad, and she rarely mentioned it.
I really shouldn't have asked.
Chen Wen's tears came quickly, and she received them quickly, she sniffed and stopped crying: "Okay." ”
Li Suniang didn't ask, comforted Chen Wen for a while, saw that Chen Wen's mood was stable, patted her back, and went into the house.
Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the pen again and began to continue drawing.
She held up the painted umbrella, as did the other umbrellas, and they all drew and held them up.
There are mountains and waters, flowers, trees and grass. In this way, these blank umbrellas are filled to the brim.
When I finished painting, I habitually mentioned my own name at the bottom, and halfway through it, I suddenly stopped.
There was a man standing in front of her, blocking her view.
Chen Wen looked up blankly.
