Cartoonist's Dream

Li Mu walked up the bamboo mud slope, and on the right was the gate of Li's courtyard.The men around the fire grabbed the chickens and ducks by their necks and soaked them in a cauldron of hot water, while the women waited with basins to pick them up and pluck their feathers.Li Xiuli greeted Li Mu immediately, and blamed him for not paying New Year's greetings to her uncle and uncle.

A fairy-like person—it’s hard to understand what kind of person it is just by listening to the narrative, and it certainly doesn’t exist.Even if they listened carefully to Li Huasheng and Li Yuansheng's explanation, they probably still couldn't guess what kind of impression it was.

After grabbing Limu and carefully identifying it——

"...It's really Limu!" ​​Uncle Six hesitated for a while, then shouted.

"Wow—like—!" The fourth uncle picked up the chicken's neck, bent over to Li Mu, and took a look. [

Riki blinked.

The fourth uncle turned his head to look at the New Year picture on the gate of the courtyard again. The oil printed on the New Year picture was to wish the golden boy and jade girl in the new year, and then turned his head suddenly to look at Li Mu.

"—Like! It's so similar!" Except for the pattern of gold thread and money on the clothes, the figure and the painting are exactly the same.

"I haven't seen you for more than half a year, the child has really changed a lot." The second uncle who was sitting on the stool chatting with the third uncle exhaled a smoke ring and sighed.

Rikina walked back to her mother so that she would not be watched like a monkey.Originally, the first element of identifying a person is to look at the clothes, followed by the person's gait and posture, and finally the face shape.Generally, if you see a person from a long distance and see the clothes that person is wearing, you can generally call him by name from a distance.

But today I am wearing new clothes bought by my mother, which are completely different from the previous styles.Speaking of gait, if a 31-year-old uncle jumps up and lands on one foot like a child, bouncing uphill - what kind of shameful ply is he playing!Now he walks steadily step by step, and his temperament is definitely different from that of a child.

"Is Ah Hui still gambling? Did he win a fortune recently?" Third Uncle interrupted slightly.

No one in the village bought children's clothes in red and black trousers.

Although it is more profitable for the wife and sister to drive a taxi, this kind of clothes is only worn a few times around the New Year.Buying loose clothes doesn’t look good on the body. If you buy children’s clothing that fits just right like now, the clothes will become tight when the child grows in the second year, and children don’t want to wear tight clothes.Therefore, almost no one is willing to buy this kind of "disposable" clothes that are almost only worn in the New Year for children.

But the New Year really let children wear it on their bodies, and it really has an indescribable taste of the New Year.

"You don't know that, Limu can make money by painting now, earning more than 5000 yuan a month, and hired a nanny. Now Xiuli doesn't have to drive, and she is raised by her son at home!" Li Yuansheng said enviously .

Well, Katsuo changed from a bodyguard to a bodyguard, from a bodyguard to a nanny...

As for Li Xiuli.Anyway, Li Mu's selling paintings is not a secret that needs to be kept, and she will not mention it when she treats her natal family as long as she is not asked.I was signed today, and after some questioning, the sisters had already "founded out" the situation to the bottom, and they all held back until Li Mu came back to give the men a fatal blow.

"Eh--!?"

"You don't need to go to work, and Limu will take care of you?"

"Gan sharp?"

The uncles were dumbfounded.

Uncle Six even slapped the complacent nephew on the shoulder, and turned him away from Da Shengnan.

I saw Da Shengnan holding an ink painting in both hands. The ink on the rice paper has dried, but it is slightly damp and it is not suitable to roll it into a roll for the time being. [

"Did you draw this?" Uncle Six asked, pointing at it.

There are only two bamboos in the painting. There are no shoots at the top and no roots at the bottom. The branches and leaves are interspersed between them.In the painting, the two bamboos are soaked in ink with different depths, and the brush strokes are heavy and light, and they go back and forth, with thick and thin, thick and thin.

right book:

[The Spring of the Year of the Rabbit arrives, and everyone laughs.

[Grandparents are not old, children and grandchildren are more filial.

[Bamboo Bulletin, rich wealth, high life expectancy, and high blessings. 】

Another book:

【Bamboo Reports Wealth】

Printed below:

【lmu】

Everyone in the room is rough, they don't know arty, they don't know how to comment on poles, knots, branches, cloth industry, bamboo state, etc., but they also know that this painting can sell for at least two or three hundred dollars.

"Good painting, good painting! Mom, do you think so?" Li Yuansheng asked her mother who stopped by.

"Good painting, um, good painting." He Hui looked at it seriously and praised it.In fact, she and her husband Li Dongsheng are not cultural people, and have no experience in judging, they are just purely praising the little grandson.

"This is a New Year picture for my grandparents."

The engraving on the seal [lmu] may be a bit unorthodox, and the raisins are only quite satisfactory and not considered calligraphy.However, the two bamboos are painted very well, implying that the two elders of the Li family are young and long-lived, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and a house full of children and grandchildren.

"Good painting, remember to take it to the lobby for mounting later..." someone suggested.

Receiving unanimous praise from everyone, Limu knew that the daily tasks had been successfully completed without checking.

"You can earn money for your family at such a young age, isn't Limu in the third grade this year?" Uncle asked a very ordinary question.

The women stared at his face with expectant expressions.

"I am in fifth grade, and she is my classmate."

"This, this" the uncles were surprised, didn't they mean the nanny?

They looked sideways at the woman in surprise, and then suddenly realized.Then the women bared their fangs—[

"Don't be dumbfounded, we were shocked when we knew it."

Everyone looked at Da Shengnan together, it was hard to imagine that she was a fifth grade student, and she estimated that she could knock herself down with a single slap.

Then, probably because of the spotlight effect, Da Shengnan judged what she should say, and started her mechanical recitation inappropriately: "Uncle and aunt, happy new year, first time meeting, my name is Da Shengnan, and I am a classmate of Limu. I live in Houcun, Pingnan, and I study in Pingnan Primary School..."

...it's the first time we've met.

No matter what the process was, she was able to receive the same amount of red envelopes as Li Mu, perhaps because the money in the red envelopes was relatively small, the adults were generous and didn't feel distressed.The red envelopes originally reserved were used to deal with such emergencies, and it can be said that they were all within their expectations.

After the turmoil passed, the sixth uncle hung the [Bamboo Newspaper Wealth and Nobility] in the inner hall, and the women began to cook and pluck chicken feathers.Although the number of people in the Li family's annual banquet is much smaller than that of the Li family, there is only one pot for cooking, and the dishes that should be prepared in advance must be prepared in advance.

The detailed division of labor among the people is all the work that they have agreed upon, and there is no saying that the mistress or father of a family forced them to do this or that.The men who had had enough rest helped move out the big round table and the heavy main chair from the small utility room; the women were doing meticulous work that required patience, sitting together washing and picking vegetables...

Seeing the faces of them chatting and laughing happily while cooking, Li Mu nodded, turned around with Katsuo and joined the children's play team.

Grandma's house is the mother's home...

Even if ten or eight Dasheng men are invited to help in the Li family's New Year's banquet, it's not likely that the mother will be as happy and laughing as she is now.
