Chapter 89 Learning to Draw
The old man said: "Okay, your grandma and your mother are probably ready for dinner. Let's go back to the front hall to eat!"

The grandfather and grandson came to the front hall, and sure enough, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already put the food on the table and were handing out bowls and chopsticks. Seeing a few people coming in, Mrs. Wang said: "Sit down and eat quickly. It will get cold in a while, but don't have diarrhea." Got it!"

The family sat neatly at the dining table and began to eat. During the meal, the old man told everyone about the third brother.

Li put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Zihao, do you really want to learn painting?" In the minds of many people, studying is the right way, and it will be a great honor for the ancestors in the future. It will be a big deal for any family to be able to provide a scholar. , Mrs. Li also hopes that her son will focus on studying.

The third brother put down the bowl and chopsticks and said solemnly: "Mom, this is my idea. I hope mom can agree. I will continue to study. Painting is my hobby. In the future, I will definitely use painting to prove my point. A new way out!”

The old man clapped his hands and said, "You are so ambitious. Grandpa thinks highly of you. Don't let grandpa and your parents down!"

Xu Erbo also said: "Since Zihao has made a decision, your father will support you. You will be ten years old after the Chinese New Year, and you are a young adult. I don't want to see you unable to persist in the future, just relying on your young age." Just back off, otherwise you won’t be able to make a big difference in the future!”

Xu Zihao said: "I understand, Dad, I won't let you and Mom down!"

Seeing that her son insisted on doing this, Mrs. Li stopped talking. That's all. She couldn't impose her own ideas on her son, as this would only be counterproductive.

The rest of the family didn't say anything. The child has to take the path he chooses, and he can't interfere. It's better to just follow the child's wishes.

Zhang and Lin looked at their children and wondered what would happen to them in the future. If they made the same decision as Zihao, would they agree?
A meal is eaten in an atmosphere where everyone is thoughtful.

After the meal, Third Brother found Qibao. Qibao took out the charcoal for space painting and said: "Third Brother, what you need in the beginning is patience. What we are learning is sketching. First we must be able to observe the light and dark parts." For example, if you look at this charcoal pen on the table, if it is struck from the upper left, it will be brighter. What is projected on the lower right is the shadow of the pen, which is called the dividing line between light and dark."

Xu Zihao listened to Qibao's story with a serious look on his face.

Qibao put another quilt on the table and asked the third brother to observe it. He also drew a rough prototype and told him that the shadows should be painted heavier and the highlights should be paid attention to.

After teaching for almost an hour, Qibao said: "Third brother, we will stop here today, and we will continue tomorrow. You have to read when you go back. Third brother, go to bed early, we have to go to school tomorrow!"

Xu Zihao said: "Now that I know my sister, the third brother will go back!"

After seeing his third brother leave, Qibao entered the space, found Xiao Ling and asked, "Xiao Ling, are there any books specifically teaching painting in space?"

Xiao Ling said: "There are many books in the study room, and of course there are also painting teachers. I will take the master to get them!"

Following Xiao Ling, Qibao found books about this category under Xiao Ling's guidance.

Qibao opened it and looked at it. It was indeed a book on the basics of sketching. Although this book was a modern book, the characters were basically the same as those in this world. He must have known them too.

After finding what she wanted, Qibao stayed in the space and planned to cook the pills. She no longer needed Xiaoling's guidance. She now knew the process of making pills by heart.

After making about two hundred pills, Qibao stopped. She planned to make more pills and sell them to Leshan Pharmacy.The next day, not long after Uncle Xu sent his brothers to school, the village chief came to the Xu family.

The old man said: "Village chief, why are you here so early?"

The village chief said with a smile: "What I'm doing now is a good thing. Of course I have to be proactive. It's still in the town and the distance is not close. I can go there earlier so I can finalize all the materials, so I feel at ease!"

The old man understood the village chief very well and stopped being nagging. He asked Uncle Xu to get on the bullock cart and went to the town with the village chief.

In the afternoon, many young men came to the village. These were relatives or family members of the villagers in Xujia Village. They probably came to ask about recruiting workers to build the road. The village chief hadn't come back yet. The village chief's wife was from a female family. It was not easy to talk to these men, so they were brought to the door of Lao Xu's house.

Those men had never seen such a beautiful house in a farmhouse. They all looked at the Xu family's house curiously and talked to the people next to them.

They became quiet when they saw someone coming out of the house.The Xu family didn't know what was going on at first, but suddenly there were so many people standing in front of their house. The village chief's wife briefly explained the matter to the old man.

The old man thought that with so many people coming so quickly, it seemed that it was hard to find jobs in the town. He coughed and said, "Everyone, I believe everyone knows about the recruitment of people for road construction in our village. I believe it's about the wages and so on." Have your relatives in Xujiacun told you? Do you have any opinions? "

A man said: "Old man, we are here today to ask if the wages you mentioned are true? You guys are a little unsure, so you come here to ask. It won't be a good thing if there is a misunderstanding!"

The old man said: "Yes, my family will give you 25 cents a day. Although you don't have to eat, the wages are higher than those in the town. You don't need to bring your own tools for work. My family will buy new ones!"

Another man said: "I heard that the old man's family also grows some greenhouse vegetables. I wonder if he still needs help?"

The old man thought to himself that even if he wanted people, he would have to arrange them for people in his village first, but he said: "The staff is already full at the moment, so there is no need to recruit people, but there will be opportunities in the future."

The person who spoke felt a little regretful and said: "Well, if the old man needs someone in the future, just let me know. I will be available at any time. Oh, by the way, Da Niu's wife is my sister. Just ask her to notify me when the time comes. .”

The old man smiled and nodded and said: "Definitely, definitely." In fact, the old man likes such people very much. He never misses an opportunity and knows how to recommend himself.

After getting the accurate answer, everyone felt that the trip was not in vain. After asking about the start time, they went back.

The old man thought there would be at least close to a hundred people, but no matter how many people there are, the repairs will be faster. It is estimated that there will definitely be more people coming to work than now, so he must be prepared.

Seeing that everyone was gone, the old man turned around and returned to the main room. Qibao said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, I made some pills at the master's place and plan to take them to Leshan Drug Store to sell them tomorrow."

The old man said: "What kind of pill is it? Why haven't I heard you tell me about it?"
