MTL - It’s a Stepmother, Not a Sister [70s]-Chapter 117 Destiny
Jiang Shuangling was stunned by his sudden remarks, what is the award? Hasn't she handed in her work yet?
She held the painting in her arms and said in surprise, "Mr. Shen, what are you talking about?"
Mr. Shen looked at her with a caring smile and looked relieved, "Little Jiang, I didn't expect you to be so good at drawing monkeys."
"Monkey?" Jiang Shuangling felt even more inexplicable. She had never painted a few monkeys in Shanmei, but had painted many at home, all of which were caused by bear children.
"I have already submitted your picture of the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain."
Jiang Shuangling blurted out: "What????!
"—What??! You don't know? Didn't you ask Mr. He to bring it here?" Mr. Shen was even more surprised.
After Jiang Shuangling heard that the work she handed in was a picture of monkeys in Huaguoshan that she had drawn before to vent her emotions, a pretty face was about to crack.
Why did she start to understand the world not so well when she went back to her hometown?
"This is the painting you prepared?" Mr. Shen picked up the painting in her hand, "Although it is not bad, it is not as shocking as that one."
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
Mr. Shen patted her on the shoulder, "This time, it's a mistake, so I said you have a high probability of winning the prize."
After separating from Mr. Shen, Jiang Shuangling stood dumbfounded at the school gate of Shancheng Academy of Fine Arts for more than half an hour. She really did not expect that after so many years, she would still be on the road of pursuing art Encounter such an oolong thing.
The one hundred and eight monkeys…
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
This is nothing, what is even more frightening is that Mr. Shen actually said that she…
—Good at drawing monkeys!
—A mother’s love!
This is the label that suddenly hit her.
"...I'm good at drawing monkeys? Then why don't I know?" Jiang Shuangling muttered to herself, and after she finished speaking, she shuddered, as if struck by lightning.
Even if she is good at drawing a little goldfish, it is better than drawing a monkey, why should she be good at drawing a monkey? She doesn't want to see monkeys!
Jiang Shuangling came to Mr. He's residence in a daze. When Mr. He saw her, he also showed a face of relief and praise, "Little Jiang, you came back from your hometown?"
"Your painting has improved a lot... I didn't expect you to secretly practice so many monkey paintings, not bad... You young people have great ideas."
"You did a lot of preparation for that painting, didn't you? Don't worry, there's bound to be a good result."
…
A bunch of "cold" compliments fell on her body, Jiang Shuangling was not happy, she just felt that the inexplicable burden was more serious on her.
She opened her mouth, unable to explain why she knew so much about monkeys, why she drew 108 monkeys of different shapes so vividly...
In June Feixue Dou'e Injustice, In March, the Monkey Little Jiang Injustice.
Jiang Shuangling went back on the boat with a blushing face and a trance. She looked like she was restless. She met Wang Xiazhi at the door of the house who went out with a basket. Wang Xiazhi stopped her, "Little Jiang, you Are you back? Are you free? Let's go pick up bamboo shoots, there are a lot of bamboo shoots on the mountain right now."
Jiang Shuangling was called back to God by her voice, "Pinch bamboo shoots?"
Wang Xiazhi: "Yes, do you want to go?"
"Then I'll go with you." Jiang Shuangling felt that she had to go out and pinch to calm down.
The children at home are still studying at school and have not returned home.
Jiang Shuangling and Wang Xiazhi went to the mountain to pick up a few large baskets of bamboo shoots, and they came back together with Zhao Yinghua to peel the bamboo shoots. After she finished peeling, she went to the small pool at home to take a bath and changed He got dressed and waited peacefully for the return of Huihui's little comrade.
"Mom, did you ask Mr. He to take that painting of monkeys?"
"What's wrong? Mr. He said that your painting is very high-level."
Jiang Shuangling: "...Mom, what do you think after seeing that painting?"
"I...I don't know how to taste it, that is, you are really good at drawing monkeys. Mom looks at so many monkeys, and it's a little nerve-racking, as if I really saw so many naughty monkeys ."
"This shows that you are good at painting, little five daughter-in-law."
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
Melancholy.
A few children came back in the evening, Qi Hui ran into the house with a bang, put down his little schoolbag, started drinking water, and ran home all the way, but he didn't Tired him out.
After drinking the water, Qi Hui saw Jiang Shuangling standing silently in front of him.
Qi Hui blinked his eyes, seeing that the situation was not good, he gently put down the small water cup, raised his little face with a bright smile, and happily threw himself in front of Jiang Shuangling, acting coquettishly Flatteringly: "Mom hugs."
Jiang Shuangling held the Huihui cub in her arms angrily, the little guy shrank in her arms, and said, "The best mother, I haven't seen my mother for a day, I really want to think about it. Mother…"
The little mouth is really smeared with honey.
"Mom, Huihui likes you so much."
Jiang Shuangling pushed reluctantly on his forehead, "You little naughty, little villain, it's all your fault for making a fuss about catching monkeys every day."
"Mom, why can't you catch the monkey?" Qi Hui asked curiously, tilting his head.
Jiang Shuangling sighed melancholy, holding her younger son's face and kneading it like dough.
"Cub, you can't catch monkeys if you want."
Jiang Shuangling’s painting of monkeys in Huaguoshan really wants to win an award. The works are selected and sent to Beijing, and maybe they will win a heavyweight national award in the end.
To "Are you still good at drawing monkeys?" "How long have you practiced observing?" "Drawing monkeys for your son?"
…
Confused...maternal love?
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
Jiang Shuangling is afraid that the story behind it will become more and more outrageous.
She had a dream at night, dreaming that she appeared on an unknown podium, she should have been very happy, but the host's voice said: "The new generation of painters Comrade Jiang Shuangling, who was good at painting monkeys in her life, and her masterpiece is the monkey of Liangshan Mountain..."
A picture appeared on the big screen, depicting one hundred and eight monkey children.
…
Jiang Shuangling woke up from this weird "nightmare", she sat up and gasped for breath, a group of little monkeys appeared in her mind, and the group of children also shouted to her: "Mom..."
These monkey children have Zhang Huihui's face.
"What's wrong?" Qi Heng sat up, turned on the light, took the woman beside him into his arms, and gently stroked her back.
"I had a nightmare." Jiang Shuangling fell into Qi Heng's arms decadently, "I dreamed of a bunch of monkeys in my dream, and those monkeys all had Zhang Huihui's face... It's not all your fault, you Raised monkey children."
Qi Heng: "…"
Jiang Shuangling came up on his chest, "Why don't you say a word? Brother, don't you comfort your poor daughter-in-law?"
Qi Heng suddenly woke up from his sleep. Naturally, his brain was not as flexible as it was during the day.
Jiang Shuangling: "!
What the **** is this dog talking about? What is better than fleas? Are you trying to persuade her to think for the better? At least I dream of a monkey with a face like Huihui, not a flea with a face of Huihui.
"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Shuangling raised her hand to cover his mouth. She always felt that the other party's words were setting up a flag.
"But, fortunately, I haven't seen fleas, and I don't know what fleas look like."
Qi Heng: "…"
Qi Heng felt that he was talking too much at the moment, but he just held the person in his arms and comforted him with his actions.
"Qi Heng, who do you think Hui Hui's personality is like? The little mouth is sweet, bullying and fearful, and smart."
Qi Heng: "Like you?"
Jiang Shuangling's eyes widened: "Like me!?"
She has a look of "If you dare to say it like me, I will explode".
Qi Heng retracted his words and immediately said, "Like me."
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
Looking at the mature and cold handsome face of the other party, as well as the past experience of being cold and less talkative, Jiang Shuangling felt that she was choked.
"It doesn't matter, no matter who this kid looks like, I hope he can use this cleverness in the right way."
Qi Heng smiled softly, "He is the child you taught and won't go astray."
"Don't you teach me as a father?"
"Teaching, it's just that our family mainly listens to the leader's words."
Jiang Shuangling snorted twice, closed her eyes and sighed: "I really want a mother's sweet little padded jacket."
"Mr. Xiao Zeng, how wonderful is her daughter."
"Would you like to exchange her daughter for Huihui with you?"
"Of course I can't bear it, the monkey child is still our own."
Jiang Shuangling is already a member of the Shancheng Art Association. Recently, the Artists Association held a meeting, and many people congratulated her. This second wave of congratulations is simply stabbing her and saying that she wants to meet her monkey child at home.
Huihui pestered her to go to the mountain city that day, Jiang Shuangling took him to the zoo again, and stopped by for a meeting.
"Is this your youngest son?"
"Yes, Qi Hui, nickname Huihui."
"Hello Auntie."
"This boy is very handsome."
…
This monkey boy is indeed a clever little ghost, an uncle and aunt, very polite and sweet, "Auntie is not old at all, she looks very young."
"Hello, sister."
…
Being able to get along with a group of uncles, aunts, sisters and brothers, such a beautiful little boy who speaks sweetly and sensible, those uncles and aunts, especially the aunts, can't resist him. Sugar-coated cannonballs, he honestly took out his own stock of snacks.
"Huihui, come, eat cookies."
"I have sugar water here, I'll pour you a glass."
"Chocolate."
…
Jiang Shuangling really didn't see this little guy who mixed food and drink. After Huihui cub was full, she lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
This is probably the real reason why he wants to follow.
After Jiang Shuangling's meeting was over, Qi Hui also woke up, and happily rushed into her mother's arms, "Mother hugs."
"You, you monkey cub." Jiang Shuangling hugged him with a smile and kissed his little cheek.
"Comrade Jiang, you like monkey cubs." Someone next to him laughed.
Qi Hui: "...why does mom like monkeys?"
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
No longer able to explain, she clicked on Qi Hui's nose and said helplessly: "Because you are just a monkey child, and mother likes you."
Qi Hui: "Hui Hui is not a monkey."
Children Qi Hui think he looks better than a monkey.
Children Qi Hui said very seriously: "I just want to catch monkeys!
Although his tone was very serious, he made several aunts laugh, and one of them, Aunt Jiang, teased him: "Monkeys are very flexible, can you catch them?"
Qi Hui didn't think twice, and said with confidence: "Of course, I can catch the monkey, Huihui is very strong, and he can even do somersaults."
"Hey, you're going to somersault."
Qi Hui performed more than a dozen somersaults on the spot, and all of them were very standard. Although they were small, their body was flexible like a little leopard, just like his father.
Jiang Shuangling calmly watched him do things. This kid usually smashes tanks and demolishes his house. Like an Erha who has no energy to do anything, he is still a little capable.
"You Jia Huihui are amazing!"
"It's a pretty little monkey boy."
"Sure enough."
…
The uncles and aunts who were watching were also very supportive. Qi Hui happily listened to a wave of rainbow farts from the uncles and aunts. Only then did he feel that today’s trip was completely complete and he could be happy went home.
Today I not only went to the zoo to see the monkeys, but also got a lot of compliments from eating and drinking... This is probably what the teacher said, he had a very meaningful day.
Jiang Shuangling was about to take him home, when a middle-aged woman surnamed Liao suddenly said to her: "Recently, the Shancheng Performing Arts Troupe is going to recruit a few young actors, and it is said that they are going to rehearse a show. If your child likes it, would you like to try it? ... Stick hair, play a little monkey."
Jiang Shuangling was stunned, "Playing a little monkey?"
…Isn’t this monkey going to get over it?
Qi Hui tilted his head and asked curiously, "What monkey?"
Jiang Shuangling thought it was funny just imagining her cub sticking a circle of fake monkey hair to pretend to be a little monkey in her mind.
It’s so funny hahahaha…
"It's for you to play the little monkey."
Qi Hui: "Playing a monkey?"
Jiang Shuangling touched his head, "Yes, that's it, I'll put fake monkey hair on your face, like a little monkey, and let you do somersaults with a stick on the stage , the uncles and aunts below will applaud you."
Qi Hui tangled: "Mom, is there such a beautiful monkey as me?"
Jiang Shuangling: "...If you play a monkey, there will probably be another 'good-looking' monkey like you in the world."
"After all, even if you play a monkey, you are still you."
After talking nonsense for a long time, Jiang Shuangling took this little monkey cub and took the boat home, Qi Hui sat obediently beside her mother, and suddenly asked curiously: "Mom, is there anyone else playing the role? monkey?"
Jiang Shuangling smiled, "Of course, there are other children who can also play monkeys."
Comrade Qi Hui's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some new continent, his eyes were shining, he excitedly said: "Mom, then I'm going to catch monkeys!
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
The "monkey" doesn't want to be caught by you.
"Why didn't you agree to let your dad play the monkey and catch you?"
Qi Hui said firmly: "A monkey not as big as Dad!"
Jiang Shuangling: "Alright, alright, let's try it."
When I got home, Jiang Shuangling didn't need to say anything more. The little horn of Comrade Qi Hui has automatically said that he is going to "catch the monkeys".
He understood that he was going to the performance group to catch monkeys, but others didn't know where he wanted to catch monkeys.
Qi Yue: "Go to the mountain to catch monkeys?"
Jiang Che: "Ask your brother to take you there. There are a few places. If you wait a few more times, you may see wild monkeys."
Qi Hui: "???" Take me to catch the monkey? !
And such a good thing!
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
Qi Hui blinked, unable to believe what he heard, "Brother, are you going to take me to the mountain to catch monkeys?"
Qi Yue: "Yeah, isn't it my brother that you are clamoring to catch monkeys every day?"
"I'll take you to the mountain to wait for the monkeys during the holidays. Bring some peanuts and melon seeds."
Qi Hui nodded happily, "Well, I'm going to catch the monkeys with my brother!"
After his brother promised to take him to the mountain to find monkeys, Qi Hui happily ate and slept. The next day Pidianpidian took a bag of peanuts to the mountain to wait for the monkeys. When he was leaving, Jiang Shuangling packed him a bag of peanuts. Qi Hui directly peeled one and ate it, and found that it turned out to be a raw peanut. He objected: "Mom, this is a raw peanut!"
"Why doesn't Mommy fry peanuts and salted peanuts for Huihui?" Huihui children think raw peanuts are not tasty, how can such peanuts attract monkeys on the mountain?
Jiang Shuangling pinched his little face, "Because monkeys can only eat raw peanuts, you think monkeys are like you, if the little monkey eats fried peanuts or salted peanuts, it may lose its hair. ."
She doesn't know whether monkeys can eat processed food, but if you want to feed monkeys in the wild, it is better to choose raw peanuts. Everyone loves wild animals.
"It's like losing your hair."
"If your hair falls bald, you will be sad too, right? Huihui."
"Does eating too much salted peanuts cause hair loss?"
"It should be, small cats and big dogs can't eat too much oil and salt that humans eat, they will lose their hair, and they will be bald and not good-looking."
"Oh." Qi Hui nodded with a vague understanding.
Qi Hui went with her brother and uncle to catch monkeys on the mountain, but Jiang Shuangling didn't follow. Comrade Xiao Jiang knew that they would definitely go to the place where she was robbed by monkeys to squat.
Comrade Wan Xiaohui asked, why did my brother catch monkeys here?
Brother replied: "Because my mother was robbed of kiwi by monkeys here."
Qi Hui: "Wow!
"I want to be robbed of peanuts by monkeys too!"
…
Out of sight, out of sight, this kind of revisiting the old place is fine. However, although Jiang Shuangling doesn't like to go to get a place, Principal Jiang still takes diving pigs there every year to swim happily.
Qi Hui carefully protected his pockets of peanuts given by his mother, and went up the mountain with his brother behind him, looking left and right in the middle, worried that wild monkeys would suddenly run out and **** his A bag of peanuts.
Although he brought these peanuts to feed the monkeys, he didn't want to be robbed by the monkeys directly.
Qi Yue picked up the sleeves on both sides and sat down on a stone, Qi Hui ran over with a bag of peanuts in his arms, "Brother? Are we waiting for monkeys here?"
Qi Hui nodded.
Jiang Che generously took out a few peanuts and put them around, hoping they could wait for the monkeys today.
Three people sitting in a row on the stone waiting for the monkey.
Qi Hui pushed his brother next to him, "Brother? How long will it take for the monkey to appear?"
"I don't know, it depends on your fate with the monkey."
Qi Hui: "Brother, what is fate?"
Qi Yue: "…"
Jiang Che: "It's like your mother cooked sweet and sour pork ribs at home, but Huihui didn't go home that day, which means that Huihui had no fate with the sweet and sour pork ribs that day."
"If there is fate, Huihui will be able to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."
Qi Hui looked frustrated: "Why can't I eat sweet and sour pork ribs?" He felt that he couldn't eat sweet and sour pork ribs made by his mother.
"Because Huihui had no fate with the sweet and sour pork ribs that day."
Qi Hui felt something was wrong: "Why do you say that my mother's sweet and sour pork ribs have no fate?"
"Because you didn't come home that day."
"Why doesn't Huihui come home?"
Jiang Che: "This is just an analogy to illustrate the situation where you don't go home."
"Why—"
"There are not so many whys." Qi Yue interrupted the conversation between the two, "You have no fate with the monkey, which means that Huihui will not see the monkey today."
After finishing speaking, the bad brother added: "Just like you can't eat sweet and sour pork ribs."
Qi Hui was puffed up and peeled a peanut to eat by himself.
The peanuts that Jiang Che sprinkled before, did not wait long, and attracted small animals who were greedy for it. Of course, unfortunately, it was mice, not monkeys.
The clever mouse ate all the raw peanuts on the ground.
Qi Yue, Jiang Che, Qi Hui: "???????"
Qi Yue turned his head to look at his younger brother: "Hui Hui, do you want to catch mice?"
Qi Hui: "...I want monkeys!
Children Qi Hui is very firm about catching monkeys, and he doesn't want anything else.
"Then we'll wait."
"Are you going to sprinkle peanuts?"
"Forget it, keep it."
The three of them waited in the mountains for a long time, and after Qi Hui's arms were all eaten by the three bored people, Huihui, who didn't like starving, finally thought When he got home, he rubbed his hungry belly, "Brother, uncle, Huihui is so hungry."
"Then let's go home."
"Hui Hui can't walk anymore." The starving child Qi Hui had no energy at all, and was unwilling to move, without the usual naughty energy.
"Brother is carrying you."
Qi Yue carried this little guy behind his back, and the three of them walked the mountain road together to go home. After returning, Qi Hui, the little boy, turned his grief and anger into strength. Follow my brother to the place where they picked grapes and wait for the monkeys...
Monkeys are of course not what you want to wait for, so Qi Hui didn't even see a monkey hair, but he saw a lot of ants.
Comrade Qi Hui is very disappointed.
"Mom, do I have no fate with the monkey?"
The corner of Jiang Shuangling's mouth twitched: "Cub, you and the monkey are probably called fate."
If there is no fate, how can it be like this.
"Why can't Na Huihui see the monkey?"
“…how many more times do you wait?”
Qi Hui sat on the small bench, holding his little face in his hands for a long time, he was depressed for a long time, raised his head and said to Jiang Shuangling, "Mom, I'm going to catch monkeys in the ball."
