Quick Wear: True and False Life

Wei Nan took San'er back to the room and asked him to sit on the edge of the bed. She took out a board of unwrapped crayons and some A1 paper from the space under the cover of a cabinet. Then she pulled him to sit at the table in the main room and began to tell him about the colors of crayons and the basic techniques of crayon painting, including flat painting, leaving blank spaces, overlapping colors, and scraping with a knife.

In order to give him a clear understanding and experience, Wei Nan drew a tree as a demonstration for him. Seeing that he liked it very much, he let him try it himself.

She went out of the house and signaled to Zhou Yonghong who was killing a chicken in the yard and looking around. San'er really liked it and was drawing in the house.

"Does father-in-law know any painter? I haven't painted for a long time, and not only am my hands not very good at it, but I also don't have the atmosphere of a teacher." While Wei Nan was discussing ideas with his father-in-law, he put the slaughtered chicken into a basin, cleaned it, and castrated it first.

"I do know some, but the painter with the best skills is Zhang Zihang. I heard that he retired and returned to his hometown in Jiangsu." Zhou Yonghong said after counting all the people he knew.

"My family is in Jiangsu Prefecture. I wonder what my father-in-law thinks?"

"Even if it's not for San'er to find a good painter, I have to go there. If San'er likes it, I'll settle down in Jiangsu Prefecture."

Zhou Yonghong has a simple mind. As long as his son is well, everything is fine with him. Now he knows that his son likes painting and the good painter lives in Jiangsu Prefecture, just like his daughter-in-law's family, there is no doubt that he must go there and settle down in Jiangsu.

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Wei Nan truly felt the heavy fatherly love and felt that San'er was as blessed as Haozi who was in the upper position.

After the two men finished packing the pheasants, Lingxi and Baixi squatted on the windowsill to bask in the sun, while Zhou Jinghao sketched the scene outside the window bit by bit. He was so engrossed in the painting that he didn't even notice that Wei Nan and Zhou Yonghong were standing behind him.

Zhou Jinghao's paintings are very immature, but the color proportions, layering and overall layout are very good. He painted a farm scene of her and her father-in-law slaughtering chickens in the yard. Coupled with the liveliness and agility of Lingxi and Baixi on the windowsill, the rich artistic conception came up all of a sudden.

Zhou Yonghong was surprised. First, he was surprised that his son was so talented. He had never learned to paint, but he could draw a painting with a simple artistic conception. Second, he was surprised that a painting could be done like this. The paintings he had seen were all abstract. Third, the crayons and paper his daughter-in-law brought out had so many colors. He counted a total of 72 colors, which was so rich. The paper was white without any other colors. Just looking at the quality, you could tell that it was thick and delicate. "San'er, your painting is great! Can I take a look?" Zhou Yonghong asked excitedly when he saw his son stop painting.

"Nannan, take a look first."

Wei Nan smiled and took the painting to examine it carefully, praising it: "My San'er draws really well. I'll put it in a storage bag for you later, okay?"

"Well, put it away...put it away!"

"Nannan, this..." Zhou Yonghong looked at the painting in Wei Nan's hand and said eagerly.

Seeing her father-in-law's anxious look, Wei Nan handed it over carefully, and she pretended to go to the room and took out a rollable storage bag that could hold sixty A1 papers.

After her father-in-law had finished reading it, she put it away. The transparent layer of paper had partitions to prevent it from being stained and damaged, and it would not affect the reading process. She also put away the undrawn papers.

After looking through them, Zhou Yonghong was amazed. He thought his daughter-in-law was amazing. Even the royal family didn't have these things. He was just able to see them because of his son.

"If you like it, father-in-law, I have more and I'll give you one." Wei Nan said when he saw that he liked it so much.

"Really?"

Wei Nan said nothing, turned back to his room and got the same one, then took apart all the iconic items and took them out.

"My daughter-in-law is really filial!" Zhou Yonghong praised happily after taking the things.

Then he turned it over from outside to inside, put all the paper into the storage bag, rolled it up and tied it up. As for the crayons, he found a box for brushes and put them in his room.

Things here were completely over when the four members of the Luo family were punished.

Now that his father-in-law has agreed to go, Wei Nan plans to seal the yard when the others leave, and maybe come back later.

The advantage of having fewer people is that you can go whenever you want without too many worries! Three days later, after packing up, Wei Nan and the other two took Lingxi and Baixi on their journey.

A few days before leaving, Wei Nan and Zhou Yonghong planned their route. They would first go to Luzhou to visit an old friend and see if they could treat her granddaughter; then go to Jiankang Prefecture to visit her younger sister Lu Danzhu; finally, return to Jiangsu Prefecture to meet their in-laws, find painter Zhang Zihang to be their apprentice, and settle down in Jiangsu.

Because there were two more people coming, they added another carriage and a horse in addition to the original ones, and also packed some trivial things to take with them. So Wei Nan took San'er and the two kids to drive the Talang carriage, while his father-in-law drove the new carriage, which was loaded with things, and followed behind.

"San'er, get off the carriage and take a walk." A few days later, Wei Nan passed by a beautiful lake and jumped off the carriage to Zhou Jinghao.

"Yeah!" San'er responded and jumped down with Wei Nan.

"It's so beautiful here, San'er, you have to draw a beautiful picture for me for my collection." Wei Nan said as he walked around the car.

The scenery here is picturesque, the water is as clear as a mirror, and the breeze is gentle. It is a great place for painting.

"Nannan, are you camping here tonight?" Zhou Yonghong, who arrived from behind, got off the car and asked.

"Yes, it's quite beautiful here. There is a cliff a little further away on the other side of the lake, and there should be some caves as well. Let's take a look and find a suitable place to stay for the night." Seeing that San'er agreed to paint for him, Wei Nan replied while moving the drawing board.

Speaking of the drawing board, Wei Nan drew a simple picture based on the current one and asked Zhou Yonghong to go to the village to find Carpenter Luo to make one. The main purpose was to facilitate moving, or it could be carried directly on the back.

"Then you and San'er continue to paint here, and I'll go take a look." After saying that, Zhou Yonghong tied up the horse and headed towards the cliff.

"Lingxi, Baixi, let's go and take a look."

The two little ones were also running and jumping happily, chasing Zhou Yonghong over, jumping up and down on the edge of the cliff, chasing and playing.

"San'er, I want to sit on a stone." Wei Nan set up the drawing board, looked around, and chose a stone under a weeping willow.

The background of this location is very beautiful. Wei Nan believes that with such an ethereal scenery as a backdrop, the painting will be very poetic.

She sat on a rock, leaning against a tree trunk. The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves and landed on Wei Nan. With countless spots of light dancing, it gave people the illusion of being a god descending to earth.

"Nannan, smile." Saner said while drawing. He liked her to smile.

"I see. You need to draw me more naturally."

"Um"

San'er stopped writing only after his father-in-law moved the carriage to the foot of the cliff and returned from hunting.

"Let me take a look!" Wei Nan walked over and stood in front of the drawing board. It was really as beautiful as he had imagined.

After she finished reading it, she kissed San'er on the forehead happily. After being kissed, San'er's eyes lit up and he looked extremely happy. Then he happily kissed Wei Nan on the cheek.

"Put the painting away." After giving San'er instructions, she gave him the painting.

He put the other cages into a wooden box, took Zhou Jinghao's storage bag and packed it, then carried the things and pulled him towards the cliff.
