Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Shen Qiubai's Western-style house was on Wu'an Road (fictitious). Before liberation, all the people who lived there were rich people. The houses were built in a very Western style, basically garden houses. The sycamore trees planted on both sides of the road, with yellow leaves in autumn, were a very beautiful scenery.

Wu'an Road is not far from Ping'an Lane. It takes about 20 minutes to ride a bike there. Xia Qingqing rushed over with her medicine bag. Shen Qiubai was waiting for her at the door. Tie Niu and Xiaoyu were catching grasshoppers in the garden and having a lot of fun.

"No need to be so hasty!"

Shen Qiubai took out a clean checkered handkerchief and handed it to her to wipe her sweat.

"The sun is a bit strong, where are the deer and rabbit?"

Xia Qingqing took the handkerchief and wiped it on her face, casually at first, but after wiping it a few times, a familiar smell entered her nose. She had also used Shen Qiubai's handkerchief in her previous life, and this was his unique smell.

It was originally a very casual action, but she thought of what Xiao Yingyue said, and her face suddenly became hot and even redder.

"Your face is all sunburned, take a rest first."

Shen Qiubai frowned slightly. The girl's face was sunburned. He went into the house and came out soon with a cup of herbal tea in his hand.

A few days ago, he and Tie Niu came here to clean the house and bought some daily necessities. For some reason, Shen Qiubai felt that he would live in this house for a long time.

"Thank you."

Xia Qingqing took the water and drank it in one gulp. She didn't dare to look at Shen Qiubai, feeling a little uneasy.

It’s all Xiao Yingyue’s fault. If she hadn’t said those words, she would have been fine. But now she doesn’t even dare to face Shen Qiubai calmly.

"Sister, this grasshopper is so beautiful!"

The little fish shouted happily, and ran over with his hands covered, with a mysterious little face.

"Look, isn't it beautiful?"

Xiaoyu ran to Xia Qingqing and opened his hands slightly to let her look inside.

Xia Qingqing leaned over and looked at it for a long time but couldn't see it clearly. She only saw a black hole. She looked at it for a long time before she said, "It's really beautiful. Xiaoyu is so amazing to catch such a beautiful grasshopper."

"Brother Tieniu helped me catch it, I want to draw it!"

Xiaoyu's face was flushed, his eyes were shining, and he felt a little embarrassed because the grasshopper Tieniu had made the greatest contribution and he did not contribute much.

"It's best to eat it roasted. This grasshopper is delicious when roasted!"

Tie Niu swallowed his saliva several times. He was already greedy before the food was even roasted.

Roasted grasshoppers were one of his favorite snacks when he was a child, but he hasn't eaten them for many years.

Xiaoyu frowned, feeling conflicted. He wanted to draw, but he also wanted to eat. Brother Tieniu said that delicious food must be really delicious. What should he do?

Xia Qingqing saw through the little guy's dilemma at a glance. Other people's brains can think flexibly, but Xiaoyu can only play straight balls and won't turn at all. People who don't understand Xiaoyu may find him annoying, but in fact, Xiaoyu is very kind and sensible, and will never take the initiative to cause trouble for others.

"Draw the fish first, little fish. You can bake it after you're done. It won't delay anything."

Xia Qingqing came up with an idea, and Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and he suddenly understood.

"I'm going to paint!"

Xiaoyu ran into the house happily. He brought drawing paper and paints that Shen Qiubai bought for him.

Xia Qingqing looked at her lively and cheerful brother with a smile, while Shen Qiubai was looking at her.

Tie Niu was busy roasting grasshoppers. He had pulled out the weeds in the garden a few days ago and now they were all dried, perfect for roasting grasshoppers.

"It would be nice to have sweet potatoes. They are so delicious when roasted."

Tie Niu grumbled as he started a fire. There were too few grasshoppers in the garden. Even if they were roasted, they would not be enough for him to eat. He just needed to roast a few sweet potatoes and they would be enough.

"The market is nearby, go buy some and grill them."

Shen Qiubai gave him advice, his tone was doting and a little guilty.

Tie Niu was also in his dream. Although Tie Niu was a glorious martyr, he still blamed himself. If his body was the same as before, he would not be unable to dodge the bad guys' bullets, and Tie Niu would not have sacrificed himself by blocking the bullets for him.

In the dream, Tie Niu's mother cried so much that she fainted several times, and her hair turned completely white overnight. Every time Shen Qiubai thought of her, he felt heartbroken and couldn't help wanting to be nicer to this silly girl.

"I'm going to buy some sweet potatoes. Ground potatoes are also delicious when roasted."

Tie Niu's eyes suddenly lit up, he quickly put out the fire, and ran out quickly.

Shen Qiubai looked helpless. This silly guy was particularly active in eating, and his hands and feet were much more dexterous than usual. He was really a foodie.

Xia Qingqing also had a smile on her face. She liked dealing with people like Tie Niu, who were straightforward and did not need to engage in intrigue. Unlike some people, it was very tiring to talk to them. She had to listen carefully and think twice before speaking, otherwise she would be misunderstood if she was not careful.

"I'm going to look at the ginseng."

Xia Qingqing had rested enough and was ready to get down to work.

Shen Qiubai followed behind. Xiaoyu was concentrating on painting in the living room. Xia Qingqing tiptoed over to see how the painting was going.

She didn't have high hopes for Xiaoyu's painting, she just thought it was good for the child to have an interest, but when she saw the lifelike grasshopper on the drawing paper, Xia Qingqing was stunned.

The painting is so good!

Although he cannot be compared with students from regular art schools, Xiaoyu has never learned to paint, and has never even painted before. But the grasshopper he draws now is 70% to 80% similar. If it is painted, it should be even more similar.

Xia Qingqing held her breath and watched with fascination. She discovered that the painted fish was very different from the usual fish. At this moment, the fish seemed to be enveloped by sunlight, glowing all over, and looked extremely confident.

Moreover, Xiaoyu's use of the brush is very casual. Some strokes are completely beyond her expectations. If she were to paint, she would definitely not use the brush in that way. However, Xiaoyu's main feature is to do as she pleases. It looks like she is painting randomly, but in fact every stroke is carefully considered.

Xiaoyu finished the last stroke and then began to mix the paints. Xia Qingqing was pleasantly surprised to find that the little guy's use of colors was amazing. He could even mix colors. When several different colors were mixed together, they formed another completely different color.

Although the grasshopper on the paper could not be said to be lifelike, it was definitely better than many people's drawings. Xiaoyu admired it for a while and smiled with satisfaction. He stood up and prepared to give it to his sister.

"elder sister?"

Xiaoyu turned around and saw Xia Qingqing, who was full of surprise. She was stunned for a moment, then picked up the drawing paper and showed it to her, "I drew it."

"It's really beautiful. Who taught you to draw it?"

Xia Qingqing took the drawing paper and admired it up close, which made her feel even more amazed. She really wanted to know where Xiaoyu learned it from.

She couldn't help but look at Shen Qiubai. Was he the one who taught her?

Shen Qiubai smiled and shook his head, saying, "Xiaoyu taught himself. He has a great talent for painting."

“That’s how it’s painted.”

At the same time, Xiaoyu also answered.

He doesn't know why he should learn to paint, he just paints when he wants to.
