Chapter 20 Assignments

In just two months, she was able to spend at least eight hours a day practicing writing and drawing under the help of the time retardant. After entering the November equinox, the use of the time retarder has increased from only once a day to twice.

After a long period of exercise, her hand holding the pen no longer trembled, and her written words became more and more regular.

The hard pen in the hand, like the one printed on the book, is extremely neat.

While being satisfied with the progress of her practice, Lin Xiaoxiao also had some regrets in her heart.

Although I try to soften the hardness of the strokes when I write, so that they look more beautiful, but it is still not as comfortable as the italics.

Although Dad Lin wrote in standard italics, in order to hide his progress, Lin Xiaoxiao only asked Dad Lin to write a few words every night. Coupled with a few calligraphy stickers, in Lin's father's opinion, this is enough for a two-year-old child to play for half a day.

He didn't expect that his ideas were not enough for Lin Xiaoxiao to "play", and in only one or two hours of eight hours, he had already completed the progress taught by Lin Dad. The rest of the time, Lin Xiaoxiao used it to practice by herself.

No way, she's just so bored......

On this day, Lin's father and Lin's mother took advantage of the rest day to take Lin Xiaoxiao to play on the people's road.

Renmin Road is a commercial street near Lin's house, which is the center of N City and a street with a long history. Of course, the name of this road was naturally changed after the liberation, and as for the previous name, there is no need to explore it now.

There were all kinds of stalls on both sides of the street, and after a while, Lin Xiaoxiao was held in the arms of Lin Xiaoxiao with a sugar gourd in his left hand and a marshmallow in his right hand, and the family of three walked around.

It didn't take long to reach the intersection with Wanshou Street, which intersects Renmin Road with an east-west street, and is also a very important commercial street in N City.

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that after entering the 2,000 years, this street was changed to a pedestrian street, and the Tai'an Street where the Lin family lives now has been changed to a one-way main road.

The family turned west, walked and stopped along the sidewalk on the south side, and after a while, they came to Xinhua Bookstore, one of the largest bookstores in N City.

In the early 80s, there were not many things for children to read in bookstores, and this situation continued until the late 80s and early 90s, when it was a paradise for cartoons and comics.

And now Lin Xiaoxiao can also pretend to be with the comic books and villain books that Lin's father and Lin's mother stuffed into her, but Lin's father was unkind and suddenly threw himself into the shelves with books such as anthologies, poetry collections, and novels, and picked them up without raising his head.

Today is the day when the two of them pay off their salaries, and Lin's father and Lin's mother have already said in advance that they will buy a set of 365 night storybooks for Lin Xiaoxiao (it seems to be this name, I can't remember it clearly), and Lin's father can also buy a few books that he has always wanted to buy.

Depressedly flipped through two pages of the villain book that Mother Lin gave her, and Lin Xiaoxiao put it back in place with dissatisfaction - naïve, so naïve! This is an insult to my genius intelligence!

It's just that it's good to think about it, and you must not say it, otherwise you will probably be killed by the people around you with surprised eyes.

The child's temper always changes from time to time, so even if Lin Xiaoxiao stuffs the book to Lin's mother with a small face now, Lin's mother has no opinion. Pulling out another one, Lin Xiaoxiao still shook his head.

At this time, Dad Lin walked back with a complete set of five or six books in his arms, Lin Xiaoxiao raised his eyes, and his eyes suddenly lit up - Selected Chinese Literature of the Past Dynasties. This book was stored at home for a long time, until Lin Xiaoxiao returned to Lin's house for the last time before she was reborn, and she saw this book on the shelf. It is one of the few well-preserved book collections of the Lin family.

At this time, there is one more reason why this set of books is the reason why Shanglin Xiaoxiao is excited, that is-they are in traditional Chinese!

When practicing calligraphy, generally speaking, you have to write traditional Chinese characters, although the structure of traditional Chinese characters is complex, but the words written are paste-checkable, and the beauty of calligraphy can be written.

When Dad Lin was teaching Lin Xiaoxiao to write calligraphy, in order to save trouble, he wrote in simplified Chinese. Whether it is 300 Tang poems at home or the newspapers that I read every day, the words on them are also simplified, so Lin Xiaoxiao has always been a little depressed. But now that there is more set of books at home, after that, she can practice boldly with confidence - provided that Dad Lin doesn't receive this set of books into the big box on the top of the cabinet!

With this set of books, Lin Xiaoxiao shook his head at all the children's picture books and villain books, and in desperation, Lin's father and Lin mother had to take back a large thick 365 night storybook for Xiaoxiao as agreed before.

Although this book has been turned to the missing pages by Lin Xiaoxiao after being sensible in her previous life, it is rare to live again this time, and she still wants to revisit the story in this book.

Under the repeated inquiries of Lin's father and Lin's mother, Lin Xiaoxiao resolutely refused to ask for another book, watching other children of the same age, or a few years older, happily flipping through those books full of various colors, Lin's father and Lin's mother sighed, paid the money, and left the Xinhua bookstore with Lin Xiaoxiao.

Does Lin Xiaoxiao have anything she wants?

Yes!

And it's very wanted.

She wanted those willow character extensions, Yan font stickers, and many other booklets of character stickers and ink paintings, but she didn't dare to mention them now. First, she knows that her family is not too rich now, and second, if she writes all the words first according to the set of Chinese anthologies that Father Lin bought, she will have a lot of room for improvement.

She still has plenty of time, and besides, in her little mind, there is another thought - why buy something that she can learn for free?

Rice, to eat bite by bite, words, to write one by one, she will not be naïve to think that as long as she buys things back, she can become a master of calligraphy, then it is better to sleep well, daydream faster.

Sure enough, the next morning, Lin Xiaoxiao, who opened her eyes, not only found the three 365 night story books that Lin's mother read to her last night at the bedside, but also found the few anthologies of Chinese dynasties that Lin's father put not far away.

As soon as he raised his hand, he took down the first book of the previous volume, and Lin Xiaoxiao turned it page by page.

There are poems, lyrics, songs, fu, and selected classical Chinese, which are very rich in content. Lin Xiaoxiao was very satisfied, pondering the consciousness in it, and at the same time familiar with the structure of traditional characters.

Of course, when practicing hard pen calligraphy, it is still necessary to use simplified characters, and only when you want to write soft brush characters, you need to use them.

And on this day, Lin Xiao smiled and increased the number of times he used the time retarder twice a day to three times......

Grandma Lin looked at the dwindling food at home and wanted to cry without tears: God, what is going on with this one I raised? People say that half the size eats Lao Tzu to death, but this girl is not yet three years old, how can she eat as much as her father?

Grandma Lin didn't want to stop Lin Xiaoxiao from eating in advance, but Lin Xiaoxiao has now changed the law of eating, from the beginning of directly taking it to the table to eat, and later when she was hungry, she went outside to find food by herself, anyway, except for what she couldn't reach and could eat, she couldn't escape her stomach.

In addition, once the time retarder is turned on, Grandma Lin's attention will never be on her, everything she does will be completely ignored, only knowing that she has been to the hut outside a few times, but at that time, Grandma Lin will not have the slightest intention of stopping or following to take a look.

That's it, Lin Zhu Pig ...... Hmm, let's call her Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Xiaoxiao ushered in the Spring Festival at the end of '84 and the beginning of '85.

It's spring again, and every household sticks window flowers, hangs money, and couplets.

Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to write a couplet by herself, but helplessly, although Dad Lin knew that she was practicing calligraphy, he didn't know how far she had practiced.

In the past two months, every day Lin Xiaoxiao will hand in a large character that is deliberately not good to write, as well as hard pen calligraphy, which are all written by Lin's father for her the night before, and let her copy it. And the newspapers she usually writes have become unrecognizable under her layer-by-layer "creation", and she can no longer see anything other than the top black and extremely strange black painting.

It's just that although the couplet can't be written, Lin Xiaoxiao still managed to ask Dad Lin for Zhang Shengxuan paper, and carefully according to the method taught to him by Grandma Lin, he drew the lotus lotus leaf that had been drawn hundreds of times.

Subsequently, two small fish were also drawn in a less skillful way.

On the whole pale yellow paper, there is nothing but ink.

But for a doll who is not yet three years old, this painting is simply a work of genius!

So, Dad Lin was very embarrassed to let Lin Xiaoxiao add a row of words "Lin Xiaoxiao was two and a half years old in the spring of 1985" on the far left.

There was no way, on this kind of delicate paper, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to scribble, so she had to write this row neatly.

So Dad Lin, Mother Lin, and Grandma Lin were amazed again - this is much better than the big characters that are usually taught! Sure enough, it is a critical moment not to drop the chain!

Lin Xiaoxiao secretly reviewed on the side: Dad, I'm sorry, I usually handed it in...... I deliberately didn't write it well......

This painting, Lin Dad was going to go to the place where he bought calligraphy and painting supplies to frame it, but Lin Xiaoxiao stopped him desperately: Oh my God! Although this painting is not bad for a two-year-old child, it is actually very unremarkable! Especially those two fish, Lin Xiaoxiao's ink color is very poorly controlled, and the ink in two places is heavy, and it is fainted into a thick ink spot, so if it is taken out, it must not make people laugh to death?
