Chapter 965 Talent
Maybe it was her bright smile that infected the child, Li Rui hesitated and nodded.

Li Lei pulled him to sit beside him, touched his little head with a smile, and brought him another piece of snack.Li Rui was rarely treated like this by his father, so he was flattered and quickly sat up straight, trying to show his best side, so that his father and Aunt Ling would like it more.

"Xiao Rui is so cute." Xia Ling praised, and started to paint.

Painting portraits requires patience, not only for the painter, but also for the portrait model who has to stay still for an hour or two, which is also very hard.Xia Ling took into account that the child was young, so she didn't have such high demands on him: "Xiao Rui, you can have some more snacks and chat with Dad." Only in this way can the child sit still and hope to develop interest.

The child happily said hello, and chatted with his father while eating snacks. After a while, the restraint and timidity were swept away, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time.Li Lei was distressed that the child was not welcomed by his mother, so he was a little more patient with him, and deliberately picked some interesting topics to talk about, and the time passed unknowingly.

Xia Ling wiped the last stroke on the canvas and announced: "The painting is finished."

Two people, one big and one small, couldn't wait to rush up to see it.In the colorful lights and shadows, there were lots of flowers, and an extremely handsome man was talking to the child with his head turned sideways. His expression was focused and gentle, as if he regarded the children around him as the most precious treasure in the world.The child raised his head slightly, full of admiration and admiration.

"The painting is really good." Li Lei praised his wife, "So I am so handsome."

Xia Ling smiled and glared at him lightly: "You are in Xiao Rui's favor, how can such a cute child as Xiao Rui worship an ugly monster, so I have to make you handsome."

The two were joking.

Li Rui looked at the painting while listening to them talking.The self in the painting is really cute, wearing clean little clothes, holding beautiful snacks, with the sun shining on his face, as if the whole world is bright.This is not the thing that shocked him the most, what shocked him the most was the way Li Lei looked at him in the painting, so focused and gentle, it made him feel that he was truly loved.

It turns out that Dad still likes him very much...

Li Rui's heart was warm, and he stretched out his hand, about to touch the painting.

"The paint isn't dry yet," Xia Ling smiled lightly and pulled back his hand, "If Xiao Rui likes it, I'll give this painting to you, and I'll ask the servant to frame it and send it to your room."

"Can you?" The child raised his head in overjoy.

"Of course." Xia Ling said, "Does Xiao Rui like painting?"

"I like it!" The child nodded vigorously.

"Then it is yours. These painting tools and paints are also given to you. If you are interested, you can try to paint it yourself." Xia Ling smiled sweetly, "I will become a great painter in the future."

"En!" The child nodded vigorously again, and solemnly took the paintbrush she handed over.

In the days that followed, Li Rui really became interested in painting. When Shao Hui went to class, he would smear alone. At first, there were some very abstract color blocks, but later he gradually developed a method and looked decent.

Xia Ling often went to see him, praised him, and even pointed out his painting techniques.

Looking at the child's trusting and admiring eyes, she sometimes felt that she was despicable, because no matter how hard she tried to teach him, she couldn't hide the fact that she was removing obstacles for Shao Hui's future.Having an artist younger brother is much better than having an ambitious younger brother.

Because of the guilt, she pays more attention to the children.

She personally took care of everything from hiring a tutor to eating and dressing.

Even Xiao Shaohui sometimes looks jealous and mutters: "Mom is so kind to Xiao Rui." Now that he is full of homework, he doesn't have as much time as Li Rui to be by her side. It's not always so pleasant to get along with each other - woo woo woo, when his father taught him various skills, he would beat him up if he disagreed with him. How can his mother be so gentle and patient with Li Rui?

Xia Ling just laughed: "Auntie Su Tang is not here, mother should take care of him more."

Shao Hui blinked his eyes and stopped talking.This child is very smart. As early as when Li Lei talked to him, he knew that adults do not like Li Rui to learn too much practical knowledge. At this time, he has already guessed that Xia Ling cares about Li Rui on the one hand, and the more important thing is to let Li Rui immerse himself in some knowledge. In the useless art, there is no threat to him in the future.

But he also knew that these words would not help the matter if they were broken.

He remembers the kindness of his parents to him, but the grievances that Xiaorui suffered lingered in his heart for a long time.In this world, why is there no perfect way?The little child looked at the sky sadly and encountered the first problem in his life.

Xia Ling still took care of Li Rui with all her heart.

Today's Li Rui is much closer to her, under the joint upbringing of her and the tutor, she has corrected many bad habits, no longer hits and scolds casually, and can distinguish the occasion and be too polite.

Even Mr. Li was satisfied after seeing it.

It's true that the old man wanted a dandy, but he couldn't be a dandy who would embarrass the Li family.It doesn't matter that Li Rui is a flying eagle and lackey for a lifetime, but he can't make people talk about it, making people think that the Li family has no tutor.In the past, Su Tang's upbringing method was too rough, almost turning him into a wild child no different from a commoner or a villager in the mountains, but now Xia Ling carefully guides him on the path of art, and he is also Let the child's wildness become the artist's unrestrained.It was an aristocratic charm.

Mr. Li gradually changed his impression of Xia Ling. He originally thought that she was useless, but who knew that she would be competent as a housewife.At least, in terms of children's upbringing, I don't know how many blocks have left Su Tang behind.

On this day, Mr. Li was drinking tea in the yard.

Li Rui looked at him with a painting in his hand: "Grandpa, Grandpa, look, this is the portrait I drew for you, does it look good?" The child's eyes were shining, looking forward to praise.

Old Man Li took it over and took a look. It was a very simple sketch. It could be seen that the composition and light and shadow were still immature, but there seemed to be a kind of temperament in the painting, which outlined the charm of the characters. The kind and sharp eyes of the old man were vivid on the drawing paper.He was delighted to see it, and said "good" several times in a row.

Li Rui who was praised was very happy: "Aunt Ling also said that I draw well! Much better than my brother!"

Old Man Li hugged him on his lap, and asked kindly, "Did Aunt Ling really say that?"

"Yeah!" The child nodded vigorously, her smiling face turned rosy because of excitement, "She said that I am very talented in painting, few children can match me, and said that my brother has no such talent!"
