Chapter 34: Autumn in the Mountains and Forests
But although Ah Qiao is good at reading, he is not good at speaking.
She is more than willing to draw a picture of her campus life than to talk about her campus life.
Nearly 2 months into school, she has already painted 200 pictures. This is still the yield in the case of restraining yourself. She vividly recorded the trees in the corner of the campus, the queue in front of the toilet, the food for lunch, the clothes of the teachers, and the expressions of the students......
Cui Peiya's information from Ah Qiao was very limited, but it did not prevent him from continuing to make phone calls.
Today, Cui Peiya did not change her tricks to chase Ah Qiao and ask her about her campus life, but told Ah Qiao a news about Ah Qiao in a startled tone.
"Qiao, you know what? After the illustrator puts your drawing on the official account, it is seen by a costume designer who focuses on fabrics, and he calls the illustrator to see more of the artist's work. Qiao, did you hear that? Costume designers call you 'painters'! ”
Ah Qiao smiled faintly.
She silently tilted her head and thought about it, and the first thing that came to mind was the picture book "Animals Should Never Wear Clothes". In this book, the author imagines the situation in which animals are dressed, such as porcupines that will stab their clothes to shreds, goats that can't help but eat their clothes, and giraffes who wear clothes with many, many ties......
After quickly recalling this picture book in his mind, Ah Qiao settled his mind on the unfamiliar profession of "fashion designer". I think it's a person who designs clothes for a living.
"The illustrator contacted me and asked me to scan all the paintings you kept in my house to the costume designer. The illustrator said that after the costume designer chooses the draft, he will buy the copyright of the painting. When the time comes, you'll be making money. ”
Ah Qiao's thoughts are chaotic, what kind of illustrator and costume designer, she is a little confused.
Or Duoduo, who listened to the whispers in her ear, reacted quickly: "Buy the copyright? How much to give? ”
"How much...... Actually, I don't know...... I've never experienced anything like this, and the illustrator can't say for sure, he sells an illustration himself, sometimes for dozens of dollars, sometimes for hundreds, for sure. ”
Cui Peiya's words fell on Ah Qiao's ears, and she suddenly woke her up: "Can I buy money for my paintings?" ”
"Yes...... If selected by a costume designer. ”
"If" in the back, it is gradually not as confident as the front. The hope that Ah Qiao had just aroused gradually fell again. Of course, she hopes that her paintings will be sold for money, so that grandma will not have to work so hard to farm the land.
However, listen to Uncle Cui's tone...... Forget it.
Ah Qiao returned to a state of chaos.
She's really not good at answering phone calls.
When she spoke face to face, her eyes were bright and bright. In front of the phone, her eyes had nowhere to place, so she hung silently. Occasionally, big black ants walked quickly on the ground, and Ah Qiao couldn't help but run away from his thoughts.
"What about your brother?" Xu felt Ah Qiao's absent-mindedness, and Cui Peiya asked.
"My brother and my grandmother went to work in the fields."
Originally, Ah Qiao was going to go, but was stopped by his grandmother. Grandma said that she was still able to move, and she didn't want Ah Qiao's little tender hands to read and paint, so quickly participate in the helpless activity of digging soil.
Ah Qiao understands. Grandma is cherishing her.
After ending the call with Cui Peiya, Grandma Duoduo asked Ah Qiao with a smile: "Can Qiao'er's paintings be sold for money?" ”
Ah Qiao blushed: "It's not accurate." ”
Duoduo was a little overwhelmed, she was both happy for Sister Aqiao, but also worried that Sister Aqiao was too capable and seemed to be a pure eater. After thinking about it, she decided to listen to her instincts and be happy for Sister Aqiao.
On Monday, Ah Qiao carried the handmade schoolbag made for her by her grandmother and followed her brother and sister Duoduo to school.
As children in the crescent moon village, they are undoubtedly happy. The primary school is located in the southeast corner of the village. The children on the next hill work much harder than they do, and they have to climb mountains and mountains to go to school every day. Fortunately, the children in the ravines have good foot strength and are not afraid of the road.
When I came back from school on Monday, many grandparents in the village smiled and nodded when they saw Ah Qiao, and their attitude was so attentive that Ah Qiao couldn't help but hide behind her brother.
As soon as Archie inquired, he learned that his grandparents were praising Ah Qiao's young age and ability, and he made paintings and sold them for money at such a young age.
Archie was confused.
Ah Qiao lowered his head shyly.
Duoduo on the side stomped his feet: "It must have been spread by my fast-talking grandmother." She saw that Archie was really ignorant, so she relayed Cui Peiya's phone call to Archie 1510.
Archie was a little unhappy.
He put his arms around his sister, dodged pedestrians on the road, and quickly returned home.
Duoduo didn't know why, and thought that Archie was jealous of his sister, so he kindly explained Archie and said, "Your sister is amazing, aren't you also stained?" Why do you have such a gloomy face? ”
Archie glanced sideways: "Your grandma is too fast-talking." In case people don't like my sister's paintings, how embarrassed my sister is! ”
Duoduo grew her mouth in surprise, it turned out that Archie was not jealous of her sister at all, but wholeheartedly for her sister's sake! Duoduo rarely blushed once, and she decided to go home and say grandma go!
I have to praise that people are very adaptable.
What started as embarrassment quickly turned into mild embarrassment and then indifference.
It took about ten days for Ah Qiao to complete the above mental journey. She went out as usual, smiling, smiling in response to the doting gaze of her grandparents.
Autumn comes unconsciously, the mountains and forests are dyed, gorgeous and abnormal, like a fairy tale world.
Ah Qiao had no teacher and thought of sketching.
She often sits in the forest sketching with a small bench and a small painting folder. Archie will definitely go to the guard, and Xiao Guoguo will definitely accompany him. Duoduo couldn't bear the loneliness and followed.
Usually the youngest Ah Qiao observes the mountains, while the older flowers circulate around Archie lively. Archie picks up fallen branches nearby and goes home for Grandma to light a fire.
In this way, Ah Qiao spent another 200 pieces of drawing paper.
In the autumn, I flipped through the paintings of Ah Qiao's looks.
The first snow, in the early morning of the day, came to this small mountain village.
As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I hadn't gotten up to look out the window, and my intuition told the little brother and sister that something different had happened outside the window. Today's daylight is a little whiter than usual.
"It's snowing, isn't it?" The elder brother straightened up with a carp and turned his head out of the window.
It's a pity that there is a thin curtain hanging from the window.
"It's definitely snowing." Ah Qiao shrunk himself into the warm quilt. This feeling is familiar to her. She had read it countless times from her favorite book, "Frog in Winter."
