Crossing the Book of Eighty Years: The Sweet Daughter-in-law of a Mountain Man

Chapter 145 Really Incredible
Xia Kai lay on the cutting bed, while Xia Xue moved a stool and sat next to Xia Ning. From time to time, she looked over at Xia Ning, wondering what she was drawing.

Look at their little faces, they are very serious, and occasionally they even use an eraser to wipe.

Xia Ning's hair was tied into a ponytail and she was wearing a white shirt. Under the light, a strand of hair hung down on her forehead.

Zhou Junmin frowned when he thought of the design drawings drawn by Xia Ning. It was incredible. He couldn't imagine how Xia Ning could draw so well.

Those paintings are not generally good, but she can show whether a person has real skills or not.

At first, he thought that Xia Ning must have learned to make clothes from her mother. After all, there used to be a sewing machine in Xia Zheng's country. Xia Ning had good eyesight and it was possible to learn it by just looking at it.

But when he saw the design drawing that Xia Ning put on the table that day, he paused. It was a draft, but a draft can also reveal a person's painting skills.

His painting skills are not very good, but his cousin also likes to paint. Zhou Junmin has seen his paintings before, but they are nothing compared to Xia Ning's paintings.

How did Xia Ning learn so many things at such a young age?

Zhou Junmin looked deeply at the three siblings outside through the window.

Xia Xue suddenly said "hmm".

Xia Ning's head moved, and Zhou Junmin quickly looked back...

Xia Ning asked Xia Xue: "What's wrong?"

Xia Xue: "It seems like a mosquito bites me."

Xia Ning said: "It's almost summer, and there will be more mosquitoes now. Xia Kai, go get the mosquito coils out and light them up."

Xia Kai jumped down from the cutting bed with a "dong dong" sound.

Despite his small stature, the boy is still very slippery.

He ran back to the room and ran out again after a while. He handed the mosquito coil to Xia Ning: "Sister, here is the mosquito coil for you."

Xia Ning turned the mosquito coil, divided the roll of mosquito coil into two, put it on the mosquito coil shelf, picked up a match and lit it.

Soon, there was a faint woody scent.

Xia Xue covered her nose: "I'm most afraid of this smell."

Xia Ning: "This smell can repel mosquitoes. Do you like being bitten by mosquitoes?"

Xia Xue quickly shook her head, swept her hands over the soles of her feet, and started drawing seriously again.

Xia Ning's task today is quite heavy. She needs to design several new styles of clothes and several new styles of hairpins.

She also needs to find materials for these styles. The orders she placed earlier are now being done for her, but she has to shoulder the responsibility of researching innovation and finding orders by herself.

Zhou Junmin had finished studying and looked at the time. It was nine o'clock, and the two little carrot heads showed no intention of sleeping.

He walked out of the house

He came over and asked, "What have Xia Xue and Xia Kai learned?"

Xia Xue threw herself at her painting and covered the paper, too shy to let Zhou Junmin see it.

Xia Kai generously took out the ghost talisman he drew: "Brother Junmin, I drew this. Please help me take a look."

Zhou Junmin asked: "What are you painting?"

Xia Kai scratched his head in embarrassment: "I drew it casually."

The things he painted were very abstract, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see what he was painting.

Zhou Junmin couldn't tell what it was, he just felt like it was a blur, like there were four shadows.

He asked: "Are you painting people?"

Xia Kai nodded, but his expression was a little depressed.

Xia Ning could roughly tell that they were similar, or could it be her father and the three of them?

It seems that Xia Kai has a strong opinion on his mother.

Xia Ning said: "It's getting late, so I need to go to bed early."

Xia Xue picked up her painting, put it over her heart, and said, "Then I'll go to bed first." Zhou Junmin asked, "Xia Xue, don't you take out your painting and let Brother Junmin appreciate it? "

Xia Xue shook her head and said, "I haven't finished the painting yet. Please enjoy it when I'm done with it."

Zhou Junmin nodded: "Then I look forward to you asking me to appreciate it."

Xia Xue nodded: "Okay, I will ask you to appreciate it."

The two little carrot heads went back to sleep first.

Xia Ning is still drawing, and she already has several design drawings in front of her.

Zhou Junmin reached out and picked it up and took a look.

The painting is very good, there are annotations on it, and Xia Ning's handwriting is also very beautiful.

Is this something a primary school student can understand?
Zhou Junmin felt that Xia Ning might know more than him.

"Is this a new style you designed?"

Xia Ning nodded: "Yes."

Zhou Junmin: "How can I help you?"

Xia Ning said: "Whenever I need your help, I will definitely speak up."

Zhou Junmin nodded. He also believed that Xia Ning would not be polite to him. After all, they were now in a cooperative relationship.

"Well, just say whatever you need me to do."

Xia Ning raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Absolutely, otherwise you would be too free as a boss."

Zhou Junmin smiled slightly, this was how he always did business.

Even if he cooperates with his old cousin, it is the same. Leave the work to the other party and he will wait for the dividends. But Xia Ning is a girl and Zhou Junmin can't do this, so he will care.

"It's getting late. If you have anything to do, leave it to tomorrow. After all, factory work can't end at any time. You have to take good care of your health."

Xia Ning smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I know that without anyone, there will be no future and nothing."

Zhou Junmin nodded.

Xia Ning asked him: "Would you like to eat some snacks before going to bed?"

Zhou Junmin shook his head. Xia Ning might be busy tonight and didn't cook porridge for him, and he didn't want to eat it.

"No need. I come back from self-study in the evening. I may be a little hungry while riding my bicycle on the road. I don't exercise at home, so I don't consume that much."

What's more, Xia Ning's dinner was very rich and he didn't feel hungry.

In this case, Xia Ning said: "Good night then."

……

Hu Xiuzhi originally didn't plan to go back, but now she changed her mind.

First, she must ease her relationship with Zhou Shu.

She was in a bad mood that day because she was kicked out, and her tone might have been a little harsh. Zhou Shu didn't go to Zhou Junmin's place that night. He squatted outside all night and returned to the village early the next morning.

Hu Xiuzhi has been waiting for Zhou Shu to come over and surrender to her.

But Zhou Shu never came to town again.

While she had something to do at home, she went back and found a step for herself.

But she was worried about her daughter being alone in town.

When Zhao Min heard this, he immediately objected.

The hand that had just changed the medicine waved excitedly. "Why go back? Mom, don't you think we have no status at all in that family? We can't integrate with them at all."

Hu Xiuzhi was soberer than Zhao Min: "What are you thinking? No matter what, that is my home now. If I don't go back, I won't even have this home in a few days."
