Chapter Twenty-Three: This Child Is a Genius
Lu Weiming was about to say what his wife was called, but when he got closer, he opened his mouth wide in surprise and asked, "This is painted by the female doll at the door?" β
How does Gan Li know?
Turning his head, he asked his son: "Qiangqiang, the picture on this paper was drawn by Yadan?" β
"yes." Lu Qiang nodded in confirmation.
His eyes stared at the drawing paper in his mother's hand, which could probably be seen as a human figure wearing pants, but that kind of pants shape was something Lu Qiang had never seen.
It turned out that Xu Jiaren was so good at painting.
After Gan Li repeatedly confirmed that the paper her son gave to Xu Jiaren was blank, she looked at the drawing paper and a bold idea emerged, "Weiming, you said that my skirt should not have been designed by that little girl, right?" β
She had always been skeptical that Aunt Zhao could design such a fashionable dress.
"It's impossible...... Lu Weiming's first reaction was impossible, but when he heard his son confirm that it was painted by the little girl at the door, he only felt incredible, "If it was really painted by the female doll, it would be terrible!" If you can draw so well at such a young age, wouldn't you become a genius? β
"No, I'll have to ask!"
Gan Li pinched the paper and decided to go and peek through the door.
"Heyβdon't scare the girl."
Lu Weiming reminded when he saw his wife's anxious look.
Gan Li, who walked to the door, turned around and walked back when she heard this.
"What? Not going? Lu Weiming thought that his wife had changed her mind.
Who would have thought, Gan Li took a pencil and drawing paper from the table, and said, "I want to see with my own eyes whether that little girl is a genius or a liar." β
After speaking, Gan Li rolled up the sleeves of her shirt and had the posture of going to the front line.
"Dad, the skirt was really cut by Xu Jiaren last time, and I watched it from the side."
When Gan Li went out, Lu Qiang hesitated, but still told the "little secret" between him and Xu Jiaren.
Lu Weiming believed in his son very much, and looked in the direction of the door after showing surprise in his eyes: "If this is the case, the good days of the lady at the door are not far away." β
As soon as Xu Jiaren entered the house, she moved her fingers and took a sip of water, and Gan Li came to the door.
"Yadan, are you home alone?" Gan Li asked with a smile when she entered the door.
"Auntie, is there something wrong with you?" Xu Jiaren had already noticed the paper and pen in Gan Li's hand.
Everything is going according to her plan.
Gan Li took out the drawing paper in her hand and asked, "Yadan, is this what you just painted?" β
Xu Jiaren looked at it and nodded: "Hmm." Oh, yes. β
"This picture is so good, can you draw another one for Auntie?" Gan Li asked as she took out her pencil.
"Okay."
Xu Jiaren generously took the pencil and drew it on the sofa.
Ten minutes later, a costume design drawing with a ruffled neckline on the upper body with ruffled sleeves, and narrow legs and straight trousers with high heels on the lower body jumped on the drawing paper.
This is the simplest sketch, and Xu Jiaren deliberately inked it for a while, otherwise she could have completed such a basic sketch in five minutes.
But it was such a sketch that the eyes of Ganli who had been staring at it were about to fall out.
"Oh my GodβI can't believe it!"
Gan Li picked up Xu Jiaren's sketch and exclaimed repeatedly, and finally asked with fanaticism in her eyes: "Yadan, who did you learn from?" β
She had seen this kind of shirt in magazines, and it was only seen on foreign stars.
In China, not to mention Qingbei City, I'm afraid that no one wears it in Nanfeng City or Shenjiang City, the most economically developed area.
Xu Jiaren was not in a hurry to answer, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, admiring the expression on Gan Li's face while drinking water.
Gan Li was amazed for a while, finally calmed down, and asked again, "Yadan, which teacher did you learn from?" β
Xu Jiaren shook her head, revealing an ignorant expression: "There is no teacher." β
"No teacher......"
Gan Li remembered what her husband had just said, 'If you can draw so well at such a young age, wouldn't you become a genius?' β
Could it be ......
Gan Li looked at the black and thin little girl in front of her in disbelief, and said in her heart: Could it be that this little girl is really a genius?
"You can draw so well without a teacher?" Gan Li still didn't believe it.
Xu Jiaren thought about it, walked to the sewing machine, took out the "art" books from her aunt's house, and handed them to Gan Li.
"I saw that there was a picture on this, and I followed the picture on it."
For Gan Li, you must not use the set of "dreaming" that she said to her grandmother.
If she said to Gan Li, who was a nurse, that she had learned the skills, she would probably be directly dragged to the psychiatric department for a good study.
Gan Li took the book and flipped through it, and saw that there were indeed a few oil paintings on it in fashionable clothes.
But even after looking at these pictures, ordinary people can't design clothes styles, right?
Besides, the composition of the paper in her hand is very simple and smooth, and she has painting skills at first glance.
Seeing that Gan Li still didn't believe it, Xu Jiaren hurriedly implemented another set of strategies, and asked aggrievedly: "Auntie, do you think I can't draw well?" β
"No, of course not!" It's great.
"Hey, Auntie, don't comfort me. My grandmother and I didn't have money to buy pens and paper, so we had to draw on the ground with small stones...... I know it's not good at drawing. Xu Jiaren lowered her head and said as if she was sad.
If Gan Li saw Xu Jiaren's eyes at this time, she would find that there was a little sadness in those dark eyes.
It's just flashing with a light and cunning that doesn't match her age at all.
Of course, Gan Li knew that this little girl and Aunt Zhao were having a very bad time, and when she got off work to buy vegetables, she met the old lady picking up vegetable leaves on the roadside several times.
Thinking of this, the little doubt in Gan Li's heart was completely occupied by compassion.
"Yadan, you draw very well. Auntie came to ask, did you help Auntie make the skirt last time? β
"yes. Auntie, you won't blame me, will you? Xu Jiaren asked with pitiful eyes wide eyes.
When Gan Li heard the little girl admit it, she said in her heart: This child is really a genius.
"No, it's too late for Auntie to thank you, how can I blame you."
Gan Li took the drawing paper in her hand and said, "Yadan, is it okay for Auntie to take this drawing paper?" β
"Yes!"
Xu Jiaren nodded her little head vigorously, showing the happy expression of a child when she was recognized by an adult, and said happily: "Auntie, if you like it, I can also draw it for you." β
After saying that, she seemed to think of something, and whispered a little shyly: "However, you have to give me a pen and paper." β
Gan Li was aroused by sympathy when she heard the latter sentence, squatted down and said seriously: "If you want to paint in the future, you will go to your aunt's house to get a pen and paper." And also...... Teacher Xie's aunt will help to intercede. β
"Really?" Xu Jiaren's eyes burst into brilliance and asked in surprise.
Gan Li only felt that the little girl's eyes were bigger and brighter than the stars in the night sky, and such a child really shouldn't be "expelled".
She nodded solemnly: "Really! Auntie will definitely help you. β
