After two hours, the pattern was not even a quarter of the embroidery, but Lin Xiaoxiao was naturally not in a hurry, anyway, it would be too boring to go back at night and only practice painting.

Before leaving, I asked Gu Chengyun for a day off - tomorrow is September 24th, Grandma Lin's birthday.

Back at Lin's house, Li Ling blocked the door again and robbed Lin Xiaoxiao back to his home to play chess - after yesterday's fiasco, Li Ling played chess for a whole day last night and this morning, and forced Grandma Li to wear reading glasses to read the above annotations to her.

Today, she is about to wash away her shame!

"Why did you come back so late these two days? I've been waiting for you for a long time! While pulling Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Ling complained.

"I'm going to the Children's Palace to learn how to draw." Lin Xiaoxiao remembered that when Li Ling went to the N City Academy of Fine Arts at the end of his life, he learned his gouache painting from Li Ling at that time.

What is confusing is that in his previous life, Li Ling never showed a preference for painting when he was a child, and after graduation, he just found a job as an art teacher. I wonder if this life will make her interested in painting in advance because she is learning to paint?

Unexpectedly, Li Ling was indifferent at all: "Hurry up and put down two plates, I'm going to eat in a while!" ”

Not...... Some things don't seem to happen until after the normal time of history, right? I'm afraid it's a little early for her to learn how to draw......

With a trace of regret that failed to change history, Lin Xiaoxiao went into Li Ling's home.

Today, Lin Xiaoxiao has learned well, and no longer thinks about how to be cool and how to play, but tries to keep the two evenly matched on the chessboard. In Go, it is not easy to win, but blindly winning is not as good as deliberately drawing to hone your skills.

There are some chess games that can be easily seen by others if you want to lose on purpose. Only Go, if you want to lose like the real thing, it is much more difficult than you can beat others in one go.

Go, like the way people do things, occasionally needs to back down, but there is room for it.

Sure enough, after this game of chess, which took a lot of thought, it took more than an hour. At the end of the palace, the two counted the meshes, and Lin Xiaoxiao barely won with half an eye.

"Ah...... Here, here, if only I had made this step......" Li Ling pointed to the chessboard, unable to help but regret.

Lin Xiaoxiao found out for the first time that Go was more fun to play like this...... I just don't know if Zhang Guangqi deliberately hid his strength when he played chess with himself?

On September 24th, early in the morning, Lin Xiaoxiao got dressed and came to the outhouse with the two scrolls.

Of course, she has now developed the habit of getting up early to go out and "buy breakfast".

"What's this?" When Grandma Lin saw the two scrolls, she was stunned for a moment - she had been putting them on the top of the big wardrobe inside for the past two days, and she thought it was the painting that Dad Lin bought?

"I painted it, and I gave it to you!"

Lin's father and Lin's mother also heard the sound and went to the outhouse. Since Lin Xiaoxiao took these two shafts home, he resolutely did not allow everyone to see them, and he had to wait until Grandma Lin's birthday to take them out and hang them, which caused Dad Lin to ponder in his stomach all the time.

These two things gave a calligraphy master and a Chinese painting master the opportunity to accept Lin Xiaoxiao as an apprentice!

So, Lin Xiaoxiao stood on Grandma Lin's bed and carefully opened one of them - "Baishou Character"!

"Yikes! That's a good job! Dad Lin's eyes widened.

Baishou characters are not something that can be learned by copying the words he wrote for Lin Xiaoxiao for two days! How difficult is it to write a hundred different "body" longevity characters?

"Smile...... Where did you learn this? Dad Lin knew that Lin Xiaoxiao must not have known those two masters when she wrote this word, where did she find so many ways to write the word "Shou"?

"Secret." Lin Xiaoxiao glared, twisted his little head, put the painting on the bed, and opened another one.

"Yo! Guanyin statue! "Grandma Lin doesn't know how to read, and she doesn't know that the difficulty of Baishou characters is not lower than the painting in front of her, but she thinks that this Guanyin statue is very good-looking, although the Bodhisattva has lost some weight......

Grandma Lin was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and Mother Lin was also excited. Dad Lin had no choice but to hurriedly hang the two scrolls on the board behind Grandma Lin.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these two pairs of ink and blue were hung, the simple cottage of the Lin family suddenly added a lot of bookish atmosphere.

Lin Xiaoxiao stood at the end of the bed and looked at the two paintings, feeling a little emotional. Before that day, when she painted these two paintings, she felt that they had reached their limits. But when I look at it today, I can find such and such shortcomings from it.

It seems that she has indeed improved.

After hanging the painting, the Lin family got busy, and Lin's mother prepared the ingredients for the dishes needed today. Lin Xiaoxiao had the heart to cook a few dishes for Lin's mother to fill the façade, but she thought that she was already a little eye-catching now, if she could cook again...... Then it's time to be treated like a monster, right?

Let's wait a few days, and talk about it when it's a little older.

Having made up her mind to be a millet worm that only eats but doesn't make on this day, Lin Xiaoxiao sat on the bed and played with a car - there will be a lot of people at home on this day, and she didn't dare to hold the book of stickers.

Sure enough, after a while, Aunt Lin came to the Lin family with Sun Ming in her arms, plus her uncle.

Aunt Lin threw Sun Ming on the bed in the inner room, and Sun Ming rushed over to Lin Xiaoxiao with an excited face—he hadn't seen his sister for several days. When Aunt Lin came to Lin's house, it was mostly daytime, but Lin Xiaoxiao went to class in the past two days, so their sister and brother naturally had no chance to meet.

The adults are chatting outside, and the two little ones are playing with blocks, puzzles, and cars inside.

Not long after, the eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle all arrived, and even the neighbors came to the Lin family with some gifts. The sixty-sixth birthday is not a small birthday, so it is naturally more grand.

So, there were a few more people in the room.

Sister Xu Xueying of the third uncle's family also went to bed and accompanied the two younger ones - mainly Sun Ming. Sit on the bed and play together. The two sisters of the eldest uncle's family and the two sisters of the second uncle's family all sat on the edge of the bed and chatted.

Because the aunt's family was not in good health, only the eldest aunt came with the second sister Zhang Mei. Lin Xiaoxiao listened to it in the bed, Zhang Mei complained, it seemed that Cousin Zhang Hong had a temper at home, and she threw the pot and the bowl, which made the aunt angry enough.

A group of sisters chatted in the back room, and Mother Lin, Aunt Lin, and the second aunt were busy cooking in the small outhouse. The others chatted with Dad Lin in the outhouse.

Xu Xuefeng, the cousin of the second uncle's family, took the third uncle's brother Xu Xuebin, who was just three years old, to play football in the alley.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock at noon that the second uncle's family of four was late.
