Li Hehua handed the painting in his hand to Zhang Tieshan, "Zhang Tieshan, look at this."

Zhang Tieshan took the painting suspiciously and unfolded it. Inside was a slightly messy landscape painting, which looked a bit strange because there were still a lot of ink marks on it.

This painting doesn't look like it was painted by any calligrapher or painter.

Zhang Tieshan looked at Li Hehua suspiciously, and asked her what she meant with his eyes.

Li Hehua pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and pointed at the little guy in his arms with his finger, "Zhang Tieshan, this painting was drawn by the little guy last night."

Zhang Tieshan was stunned by a sentence, looked at the painting, and then looked at the son in his arms, his eyes gradually widened.

He thought that this painting was drawn by a scholar, so he thought it was a bit strange, after all, the lines were not smooth, and there were blotches of ink. But if this painting was drawn by Shulin, it would be unbelievable. Shulin had never learned painting and calligraphy, and he had never even picked up a pen. How could he draw such a beautiful painting all at once

Seeing Zhang Tieshan in disbelief, Li Hehua told what happened yesterday: "Shu Lin only caught a glimpse of Master Gu's painting yesterday, and when he went back last night, he drew it himself with a pen. The painting is very similar, almost the same as the painting yesterday The painting is exactly the same, I was shocked when I saw it last night, but it's true, Shulin really has superhuman talent in this, so I want to discuss it with you."

Zhang Tieshan had to believe it even if he didn't believe it. He stared at the son in his arms, and his mind was hard to calm. Their Zhang family had been farmers for generations, and there was no literate person, but he didn't expect his son to have such a talent. How could he Not surprised.

However, Zhang Tieshan is someone who has seen the world after all. After a brief surprise, he calmed down immediately and thought a lot in his heart. However, there is one thing he thinks the same as Li Hehua. We must also cultivate Shulin well.

Zhang Tieshan didn't rush to express his thoughts, but first asked Li Hehua's thoughts, "What do you think?"

Li Hehua touched the face of the little guy who was staring at her, and said, "I think children have this talent. We parents shouldn't bury our children. We should find a way to let Shulin receive the best teaching. You What do you think?"

Zhang Tieshan looked at Li Hehua for a while, then nodded, "I agree with your idea, but this matter has to be discussed in the long run. I have to find out where there are good teachers, and then I have to find a way to ask the teacher to accept Shulin."

Li Hehua didn't expect Zhang Tieshan to be so attentive and thoughtful, and he couldn't help but feel a little more affectionate, but in fact, it didn't need to be so troublesome.

"Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. I have an idea. I want to first look for the Master Gu from yesterday, the one who came with the painting. He is a very learned master. Now he has opened a school by himself to teach children to read. Yesterday's painting is also He painted it himself, and I think his level of painting is very good, it would be great if he is willing to teach us Shulin."

Zhang Tieshan also remembered the master from yesterday. The painting he painted was really beautiful. Even if he didn’t know how to calligraphy and painting, he knew that his level was definitely not low. Is he willing to accept Shulin? After all, Shulin is different from ordinary children.

"Then is he willing to accept Shulin? After all, Shulin... "

Li Hehua knew about Zhang Tieshan's concerns, because it was also her concern, but how would he know if he didn't try. "Master Gu often comes to me to buy cakes. If I see him, I will ask him and tell him about Lin's situation. If he really doesn't want to accept Shulin, then I will find another way."

Zhang Tieshan felt that she was right, this woman was more thoughtful than him when it came to dealing with Shulin.

When the stall was closed, it was Zhang Tieshan who carried the tables and chairs back to the small courtyard where they were sent back to the cart. Li Hehua kissed the little guy in his arms and was very reluctant. The little guy was about to follow Zhang Tieshan back, and she would not be able to see him. .

The little guy seemed to feel something too. He held her neck tightly with both hands and didn't let go. He buried his face in her neck and didn't want to look up.

Li Hehua pursed his lips, walked slowly to Zhang Tieshan, and handed the little guy over.

Zhang Tieshan looked at the little guy, and then looked at Li Hehua. He didn't stretch out his arms to hug the little guy, but walked to the door alone, "I'm leaving."

Li Hehua was surprised, why didn't he bring the little guy back

"Hey? Zhang Tieshan, you... Aren't you going to pick up the little guy?"

Zhang Tieshan paused, turned to look over, and said in a light voice, "Now Shulin's enlightenment is important, if you see that Master, the Master will have to see Shulin, so I'd better leave Shulin with you first, I will come to see it. his."

Li Hehua's surprise followed with joy. She couldn't ask for Shulin to stay here.

Li Hehua felt that Zhang Tieshan was actually a good person, and he brought Zhang Tieshan to the alley with the little guy in person.

Zhang Tieshan left the little guy here, Li Hehua felt that he must find a teacher for Shulin as soon as possible, and he was even more anxious to see Master Gu. She thought that if Master Gu didn't come tomorrow, then she would go to Master Gu's school to find him.

Fortunately, Gu Zhijin came to eat the next day.

Gu Zhijin, like his nephew, was impressed by Li Hehua's craftsmanship. The beef fried noodles he ate the day before yesterday was very delicious. After eating it, he remembered that the food he cooked at home didn't taste very good yesterday, so he took advantage of the lunch break today. came again.

"Boss, make me a bowl of shiitake mushroom and chicken rice bowl today, and make another to take away." Gu Zhijin said, handing the food box in his hand to Li Hehua, "This is the last time."

Li Hehua was overjoyed when he saw Gu Zhijin coming, he quickly took the food box and invited him to be seated, then quickly made a bowl of rice bowl for him and brought it to him himself.

After Master Gu started to eat, Li Hehua turned around to make another bowl of rice, and after it was ready, put it in the food box and bring it to him, "Master Gu, this meal is ready for you, you can take it back, no. it will be cold”

Just after Gu Zhijin finished eating, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, took the food box and thanked her with a chuckle, "Thank you boss."

"No thanks, no thanks." Li Hehua took the little guy in his arms and sat down beside Gu Zhijin, "Master Gu, I have something I want to ask your help."

Gu Zhijin stopped when he wanted to get up, "Boss, it's okay to say it."

"Master, take a look at this first." Li Hehua took out the little guy's painting and handed it to him.

Gu Zhijin opened it and couldn't help but froze when he saw the content inside. He looked at Li Hehua suspiciously, "Boss, who painted this painting? It's very similar to the painting I brought last time." It's drawn by people who haven't studied painting for a few years.

Li Hehua patted the little guy in his arms, "Master, this is what my son Shulin drew."

Unexpectedly, it was drawn by such an old child, Gu Zhijin was surprised, "Did this child draw it?" This child is only so small, has he been enlightened before? It's amazing to be able to draw such a picture.

Li Hehua said: "Master Gu, my child has never even touched a pen before, nor has he seen a painting. The only painting he has seen is the one he glanced at you the day before yesterday, but he drew it himself after returning home. ."

Gu Zhijin's expression changed from the surprised look just now to serious, and his eyes gradually deepened when he looked at Shu Lin.

As a scholar, he is well aware that painting requires talent, not hard work. Some people can paint well after learning half a lifetime. However, some people can achieve great accomplishments in just a few years. All of this is caused by the level of talent.

This child is only so old, and he didn't know what a pen, ink, paper and inkstone were before, but he can restore it like this after just taking a look at his paintings. This requires not only an unforgettable memory, but also an innate ability. painting talent.

This kid can no longer be described as talented.

Gu Zhijin knew that since the boss asked him about this, there must be a reason, so he asked: "Boss, then you are looking for me to..."

Li Hehua put down the book forest, stood up and bowed to Gu Zhijin, "Master, I know that you are very knowledgeable, and your paintings are also excellent. I want to ask you to enlighten the child and teach him to draw. Master, I don't want children. The good talent has been buried, I hope the master can accept the child."

Gu Zhijin had already guessed this in his heart, so he was not surprised by Li Hehua's request. To tell the truth, this child's painting talent is much higher than his, but he just needs to be taught seriously now that he has just been enlightened. He is currently teaching him. It's still possible, but whoever will teach who in the future may not be sure.

He has also seen a lot of insightful people, but he has never seen such a high talent in painting, and he can't bear to see such a good seedling destroyed, so he is willing to teach this child. So he agreed after pondering for a while, "Boss, I promised, you can send the child to me, and I will teach him personally."

Li Hehua was overjoyed, but he still stated the special features of Shulin without concealment, "Master, thank you so much for accepting my child, but I can't hide one thing from you: my child's temperament is different from that of normal children. It's the same, he basically doesn't speak, he doesn't pay much attention to people, and he doesn't react too much to the outside world, in short... just..." Li Hehua said no

Well, look down at the little guy, his eyes helpless and loving.

Gu Zhijin understood what Li Hehua meant as soon as he heard it, the child was self-isolating.

He has also heard of people with such symptoms before. Such people are generally immersed in their own hearts, do not respond to external things, do not like to talk to people, and do not like to talk, just like this child.

Gu Zhijin looked at the little guy who was obediently snuggling up to Li Hehua, and couldn't help feeling pity, but he felt that God was fair, maybe his special talent was extra compensation for him.

Although he knew that this child was special, Gu Zhijin did not change his mind, "Boss, I know the situation of the child, I will teach him according to his situation, you don't have to worry."

Li Hehua was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect Master Gu to be so good. He was willing to accept it even though he knew that the little guy was like this. He was so grateful that he didn't know what to say, "Master Gu, thank you so much! Thank you! "

Gu Zhijin smiled, "Boss, you can prepare the child first, and when you are ready, send him to my school."

Li Hehua responded quickly, and asked some things that he needed to prepare for going to the school, and wrote them down one by one.

As soon as Master Gu left, Li Hehua picked up the little guy and turned around, "Baby, you were accepted by Master Gu, and you can go to school in the future, are you happy?"

The little guy wrapped his arms around her neck and looked at her.

Li Hehua really wanted to share with Zhang Tieshan, but Zhang Tieshan didn't come today. Li Hehua reckoned that he might not have time today, but it is true, unless there is something wrong with the peasant family, there is no time to rush to the town every day.

Then wait until he comes next time and tell him about the little guy.

With a happy mood, Li Hehua was busy busy, feeling that she was full of strength. When she closed the booth, she also stretched out her hands to grab the two edges of the table on a whim, trying to move the table like Zhang Tieshan did. She lifted her up, but she stumbled when she lifted the ground, but fortunately she was supported by a big hand.

Li Hehua turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Tieshan.

Li Hehua was embarrassed, and changed the subject and asked, "Why are you here?" She thought he would not come today.

Zhang Tieshan didn't say a word, just silently lifted the table and moved it to the cart, as if he was carrying a chicken.

Li Hehua felt that all his flesh was white and empty.

Zhang Tieshan moved quickly, moved all the tables and chairs in three or two, picked up the prey that was still on the ground just now, and put them on the cart together.

Only then did Li Hehua see the prey on the ground. It turned out that he came to sell prey today, and then stopped by to see the little guy.

Zhang Tieshan directly helped push the cart to the small courtyard. Li Hehua didn't know what to say, so he had to tell the story that Master Gu promised to accept Shulin today.

Zhang Tieshan nodded when he heard the words, and the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, obviously he was happy.

Li Hehua couldn't help thinking, is the little guy autistic because he doesn't like to talk, or did he inherit his father's inability to talk? Could it be that there are both, and when they are combined, they become what they are now

When Li Hehua was running wild in his mind, Zhang Tieshan pushed the cart into the yard, but instead of leaving immediately as usual, he took out a handful of broken silver from the jacket and handed it to Li Hehua.

Li Hehua was puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Tieshan: "Shu Lin wants to study, this is his bundle, you take it."

Li Hehua waved his hand quickly, "No, no, I have money, I will give it to Shuxiu."

Zhang Tieshan ignored it, still stretched out his hand, and said without doubt, "Take it!"

Li Hehua looked at him like she couldn't take it, he tangled in his heart for a long time, and finally reached out and took it. These ancient men should all be very masculine. They thought it was a man's business to support their families, and they were embarrassed to use women's money, so Zhang Tieshan gave her money. If she didn't accept it, would it hurt the face of a big man

Then she will accept it. Anyway, all the money is spent on the little guy, and she will not use his money.

Seeing Li Hehua accept it, Zhang Tieshan was satisfied, "I'm leaving."

Seeing him turn around and leave, Li Hehua hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, you forgot your prey, you didn't take it!" He pointed at the prey on the cart.

Zhang Tieshan didn't stop, he just said, "The prey was brought to Shulin to eat." Then he left.

Li Hehua was speechless, this big rabbit and a big pheasant, Shulin can finish eating? It's good to be able to eat a few legs, but when will you be able to eat them all

Li Hehua sighed, kissed the little guy's face, and muttered, "Baby, your father thinks you are the king of big stomachs! Are you?"

The little guy answered her with a wink and a big eye.

Li Hehua patted his little back, "Okay, the mother will make it for you in a different way. You eat a lot and try to grow fat."

That night, Li Hehua disposed of the chicken and prepared to make a pot of ground chicken first.

The ground pot chicken is divided into two parts: chicken and pancake.

First knead a dough with flour, add a little salt and set it aside to wake up. This is used to make bread.

Then chop the chicken into pieces, clean it up, pour oil in the pot, put the garlic cloves in the oil, fry it on a low heat until golden brown and wrinkle, pick it up, then pour ginger, garlic and other spices into the oil and stir until fragrant. Put the chicken pieces into the pot, add a spoonful of sugar, a spoonful of cooking wine, and a spoonful of soy sauce, stir fry evenly, pour in boiling water and bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer for half a minute over low heat.

While the chicken is roasting, you can make the pancakes. Divide the newly awakened dough into equal parts, roll each part into a ball, and then soak the balls in water to make the dough more soft and delicious.

When the dough is almost soaked, take it out and flatten them one by one, pull them into long strips, and stick them to the side of the pot in order, so that half of the dough is above the soup and half is below the soup, then cover the pot and simmer. Just a little while.

When the pot chicken is out of the pot, spread the prepared green peppers, red peppers and fried garlic cloves on the chicken, and the pot chicken is ready.

The thick fragrance filled the kitchen instantly, and Li Hehua himself was swallowed by the fragrance. The little guy stared at the pot even more, and at first glance he wanted to eat.

Li Hehua is very satisfied with this effect.

But before eating, Li Hehua first took out a big sea bowl, put a bowl of ground pot chicken out, and said to the little guy: "Baby, this is reserved for your master tomorrow, it is Master Gu, and he will be your master from now on. Now, you have to study hard with him, so we have something delicious to think about your master."

In this era, teachers are respected very much. The status of teachers is similar to that of parents. Students will do their best to help teachers with anything. Li Hehua feels that the little guy is still young and doesn't know how to honor his master, so she will do it well and wait until he grows up. When he is sensible, he will do it himself.

It just so happens that this food is what Master Gu needs, and his children will definitely like it, and it is not anything valuable, so Master Gu should accept it.

The chicken brought by Zhang Tieshan is very big. He used the big iron pot at home to make a big pot. I couldn't finish it, so Li Hehua thought about it, took out another big sea bowl and filled a bowl, and said to the little guy: "Then let's save a bowl for your father, after all, he beat the chicken, we have to express Would you like to thank me?"

The little guy blinked, and Li Hehua knew that he must agree.
