Chapter 40 Winter Solstice (Happy New Year)

Next, Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue practiced intensively for a month.

By constantly practicing control, the value will gradually increase.

And it releases the weaving state of the psychic ring, which can reach 35P.

After a month of having to adapt to the 35P energy range every day, Tan Yue has become much more proficient in controlling the psychic ring.

Zhang Chaoqiang found that he seemed to have become a teacher in some ways? Or a parent?
Is this what it feels like to be raised?
Since secretly increasing the energy intensity, the energy reserves that could originally be used twenty to thirty times are usually completely lost after about ten times.

Due to severe loss, Zhang Chaoqiang can only seek Teacher Guan’s help to recharge thirteen times a day.

Why thirteen times?

Because Zhang Chaoqiang was only able to find Teacher Guan thirteen times that day.

It was also on that day that when Teacher Guan was looking for Teacher Xuanyu again to strongly request a repeat mental examination of Zhang Chaoqiang, he was kicked by the other party and his buttocks sank deeply into the handrail of the corridor.

Only then did he change his mind.

"Yes, Zhang Chaoqiang is not under a lot of pressure. He is concentrating on preparing for the upcoming elementary school simulated energy exchange meeting! There is nothing wrong with him!"

After he was punished so that he no longer complained, Xuanyu patted her thigh and nodded with satisfaction.

Sometimes, the method of psychological counseling depends on the person. Some people just need targeted "physical" treatment.

Recently, Zhang Chaoqiang found that his father was also very busy, going out early and coming back late every day. He heard that the factory had more orders and he had to work overtime to finish them before the New Year.

Speaking of which, Zhang Chaoqiang had no idea what exactly his father Zhang Huolong’s factory produced.

He would not talk about most of the troubles and issues at work unless asked.

I just remember that it seemed to be about the mold shells of various weapons devices.

A month later, Zhang Chaoqiang, who had been practicing diligently, couldn't help but sigh that it was easy to get started but difficult to master. His [Control Ability] had remained at 46 for several days.

What comforted him was that Tan Yue was very smart.

Many key points about controlling the psychic ring are vague, so if you only give a rough outline, the other party will be able to understand and learn it in a relatively short period of time.

And in the past month, Teacher Guan gave the three of them extra lessons, teaching them how to incorporate energy into their movements, just like what Zhang Chaoqiang had demonstrated at the beginning.

Elbow strikes, punches, whips, and some simple movements have already been mastered.

December 12nd is the winter solstice today, and according to the schedule, the day after tomorrow is the day for the psychic circle exchange among primary schools.

It was today that Zhang Chaoqiang received a piece of news that shocked him and chilled his heart.

"What? There are no awards at the exchange meeting?"

Teacher Guan told him that the exchange meeting was really just for exchange and discussion, it was not that serious, and naturally there were no titles or awards such as champion, first place or second place.

Zhang Chaoqiang was so angry that he laughed in his heart. In order to prepare for this, he even turned down the Tianan City Primary School Students Painting Competition that was to be held in a few days.

During my free time this month, I have been practicing the control of the psychic ring and practicing writing, and I have no time to improve my painting skills.

Now you tell me there won’t be any awards?
Then where can I make up for the last bit of experience?

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are indeed no other competitions in the next two months.

Only the painting competition a week later could serve as the final filler for the experience.

Zhang Chaoqiang needed time to prepare. He felt a little embarrassed, but he finally told Teacher Guan:

"Teacher Guan, I may not have time to attend this exchange meeting..."

"Ah?" Teacher Guan was puzzled for a moment, then said: "It doesn't matter. There is no ranking. The school will also give out rewards for good grades. Zhang Chaoqiang, you don't have to worry about this."

He thought Zhang Chaoqiang was complaining because of his family's financial problems, but in fact, in his opinion, his family was already well-off among ordinary people, but it was not worth mentioning in front of martial artists like Teacher Guan. Zhang Chaoqiang still claimed that he needed to coordinate his time and work arrangements, and said that he would do it as soon as possible and give him a reply.

"Coordinate time, arrange work, and implement it as soon as possible..."

"This is a lot of rhetoric. Is it me or Zhang Chaoqiang who wrote it?"

Teacher Guan fell into a state of confusion.

Today is the Winter Solstice, and Tan Yue is very happy the whole day.

Because this year's winter solstice was celebrated at Zhang Chaoqiang's home.

"Fish skin dumplings, water chestnut dumplings, donkey meat dumplings, water fish dumplings..."

During the break, Tan Yue sat sideways with her back to the blackboard, zipping up her bag and counting the dumplings, which numbered almost thirty varieties.

She asked Zhang Chaoqiang: "Grandpa Chen told me that he prepared these kinds of dumplings, I wonder if they are enough..."

Zhang Chaoqiang is concentrating on practicing calligraphy. He is trying to use a brush to write various words in a poem and combine them into a painting by arranging their positions, rotating the angles, and zooming in and out.

This is an idea that my mother Shen Qiangwei found when she was watching a short video about proportions. She also wanted Zhang Chaoqiang to use it:

"The funeral of roses buries our memories", "Love is not something you can buy if you want to", "Shen Qiangwei loves Zhang Huolong".

With these few words, she drew a family portrait of her, her father Zhang Huolong and herself.

Zhang Chaoqiang refused on the spot, but he didn't expect that he would actually carry it out today.

He needs to use this idea in a short period of time to try to win a prize in the painting competition. The top three will be enough. After all, practicing painting skills requires a lot of time.

"Are these dumplings enough?" Seeing that Zhang Chaoqiang did not reply, Tan Yue repeated.

"You mean, Grandpa Chen prepared more than thirty kinds of dumplings?"

"Yes, but I think it's not enough. Just like bags, Grandpa Chen gives me dozens of shoulder bags almost every month, and they are different every day."

"No wonder you've never carried that little bear bag I gave you."

After Zhang Chaoqiang finished the painting, he felt satisfied and put down his brush. There was no emotion on his face, as calm as the surface of a lake.

"Who said that? I've been carrying it with me all the time."

Tan Yue quickly opened the black leather shoulder bag, and inside was a white bear pink soft shoulder bag that looked like a brand new one from the factory.

After taking a look, Tan Yue zipped up his clothes.

"Oh."

Zhang Chaoqiang's gaze was still fixed on the shoulder bag that had already been moved away. He nodded slightly, and after a long time, he tidied up the items on the table and carefully handed the A3-sized piece of rice paper to Tan Yue.

"Is it just for me?" Tan Yue jumped for joy.

Looking closer, there were two awkward words: Tan Yue.

From a distance, one can vaguely see that it is a portrait that is extremely similar to Tan Yue herself.

The thoughtful Zhang Chaoqiang still uses colored ink.

"Of course it's not just for you, Grandpa Chen also has some."

Zhang Chaoqiang took out another portrait with three twisted characters "Chen Xiucai" on it.

Comparing the two, Tan Yue felt that her paintings were more refined than Grandpa Chen's.

 I wish you all a happy new year and a smooth life
