The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 110 Surprise
Chen Jingle writes so fast that he doesn't need to stop to think.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of charcoal pencils rubbing against paper.

Soon, Chen Qiyun appeared on the paper with one hand on her waist, her lips slightly pouting and a faint smile on her face.

His face is slightly turned towards the camera, with his eyelids slightly raised, as if he is glancing up from the bottom, or as if he is spying on other people's reactions with the corner of his eyes.

His eyes are extremely lively.

Looking at the gold medal works in previous national sketching competitions, you will know that a good figure sketch is not enough to have structure, three-dimensionality, space, and light and darkness, it must also make people feel the emotional tension.

Where do emotions come from?

One is the expression, and the other is the eyes.

Facial expressions are not necessarily real and can be faked, but eyes are different. They express emotions at a deeper level and are a person’s instinctive reaction in a subconscious state.

If the character drawn has only expression but no eyes, it will give people the feeling that it is just superficial and still remains at the stage of being drawn like a person.

Only after you have drawn the eyes well, can you slowly enter the stage of emotional expression.

If you don’t understand, Chen Jingle’s suggestion is to draw more beauties!
You will naturally understand it as you draw.

Chen Jingle’s favorite subject to paint is eyes.

To put it bluntly, the eyes are the windows to the soul.

To put it more mysteriously, the most critical step is to add the finishing touch, which is the most important link in giving soul life to the creatures in the painting.

If the eyes are not drawn well, the whole painting can be said to be basically ruined.

Chen Jingle wanted to paint a Chen Qiyun who looked both coquettish and angry, with eyes that seemed to be able to speak. Even if other parts were covered, the eyes alone could make people feel the expression of emotions.

So far, the painting looks pretty good.

At least he was satisfied.

The rest are just details that can be added slowly.

[It's lunch break time. Sufficient sleep helps children grow physically. Please prepare for your nap, Chen Jingle. The nap time is limited to one and a half hours.]

System reminder.

Chen Jingle stopped writing and stretched: "Almost done, let's stop here for now, and finish the rest in the afternoon."

In half an hour, a portrait sketch was almost completed, and the quality was top-notch. This speed is amazing.

It is the best in the world.

No more talking, let’s go to bed.

The morning schedule was so full that he felt a little tired.

According to his idea, his ideal life should be to sleep until after 10 o'clock in the morning, then go out to have morning tea with friends, and also take care of lunch. After lunch, walk around and take a walk, which is also a way to digest food. Come back for a nap at noon, go fishing in the afternoon if the weather is good, and play games and read books at home if the weather is bad. Go out for dinner with friends at or o'clock in the evening, and then go to the top of the mountain to watch the stars. When you are tired, find a nearby bathing center to have a sauna, eat a supper buffet, and then go home to sleep.

This pace of life is what he wants.

But now the system has assigned me a bunch of study tasks, and at the age of 30 I still have to study like a primary school student every day.

sigh!

"It's come to this, let's go to sleep first."

Chen Jingle took a quick shower, lay down on the bed, and started sleeping.

……

the other side,
Li Beixing returned home.

Seeing Jiang Zhiqin watching TV series on the sofa with a tablet in hand, Aunt Wang was preparing lunch in the kitchen.

She first greeted her mother with a smile, picked out some interesting things from the morning to share, skipping the annoying part in the middle, and then went to the kitchen to see how Aunt Wang was preparing lunch.

"Miss, please wait a minute. Dinner will be served soon." Aunt Wang said with a smile when she saw her come in.

"It's okay, there's no rush."

Li Beixing thought of something: "Auntie Wang, can you make cold beef?"

Aunt Wang nodded: "I can cook it, but this dish is more troublesome to make. I definitely won't be able to eat it at noon. If I cook it now, it will barely be in time for dinner. Miss, if you want to eat it, I can cook it."

Li Beixing was surprised: "Is it very troublesome?" She thought it only required normal cooking.

Aunt Wang explained: "Yes, although the braised beef in cold beef looks ordinary on the surface, its process is actually very complicated and time-consuming. In the past, people would make it a day in advance. Now there are pressure cookers, so the cooking process doesn't take too long, but if you want it to be thoroughly flavored, you still have to soak it for several hours. Then wrap it and put it in the refrigerator to set, otherwise the meat will fall apart if you cut it directly."

Li Beixing nodded suddenly, it does sound like it is not easy.

So, did Chen Jingle start preparing yesterday?
Chen Qiyun is really lucky.

Li Beixing felt a little greedy when he thought of the spicy and delicious cold beef, and immediately said, "Then let's have cold beef tonight."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to send some beef shank over." Aunt Wang agreed quickly.

Li Beixing was puzzled again: "Is there any difference between beef shank and ordinary beef?"

Aunt Wang said with a smile: "Beef shanks are naturally the most suitable for making braised beef in soy sauce. If you don't have it, ordinary beef will also work. There will be a slight difference in taste, but ordinary people may not be able to taste it."

"So that's how it is." Li Beixing thought thoughtfully.

What she ate in the morning seemed to be ordinary lean beef, right?
I wonder if Aunt Wang’s cold beef salad made with beef tendon tastes better than Chen Jingle’s?

Li Beixing began to look forward to it.

After a while, Aunt Wang brought the food and soup to the table and prepared to eat.

Li Qiangguang had a lunch party at noon and would not be back for lunch, so he called in advance and asked them not to prepare his meal.

Despite this, the lunch was still quite sumptuous.

No matter how simple the ingredients are, they can be cooked into something extraordinary in the hands of Aunt Wang, a former head chef.

Besides, there is no shortage of good ingredients at home.

But for some reason, Li Beixing always felt that it was not as good as the cold beef he had eaten in the morning.

Seeing that she didn't eat much, Jiang Zhiqin asked, "What's wrong? Is today's food not to your liking?"

Li Beixing shook his head: "Maybe I just ate around ten o'clock, so I'm not very hungry."

"Then eat less." Jiang Zhiqin had no doubts.

Li Beixing was thinking about the cold beef, so he could only control his temper and wait for dinner.

……

in the afternoon.

After Chen Jingle woke up.

I didn’t rush to finish the sketch that I hadn’t finished at noon. Instead, I watched some popular science videos first, allowing my brain to slowly clear up in the process of absorbing new knowledge from the outside world.

At this time, Chen Qiyun came to do her homework like usual on weekends.

Chen Jingle ignored her. After turning off the video, he went on to finish the rest of the sketch.

After about 20 minutes of painting, I finally finished the work.

Both the overall shape and the details are perfect.

Chen Jingle couldn’t say what the specific level was, but it was no worse than the top works in domestic sketch competitions.

Unfortunately, he wasn't very interested in participating in competitions or anything like that. He just thought sketching was interesting and a very convenient way to express artistic emotions.

As a gift, it should be enough to satisfy Chen Qiyun.

After Chen Qiyun finished her homework, Chen Jingle corrected it for her and explained the mistakes and parts she didn't understand.

Today I did the English test.

"You made a lot of mistakes in the words. It seems that you need to memorize them carefully later. Only when you have enough vocabulary can you ensure that you will not lose too many points in reading comprehension and writing essays."

Chen Jingle said so.

Chen Qiyun said "Oh".

Although my grades have improved, I still feel that English is difficult.

"If I give you a random word, do you know its pronunciation and meaning?" Chen Jingle wrote the word "desperate" in the blank space next to it.

Chen Qiyun shook her head.

"What if it's in Chinese?" Chen Jingle wrote down the three words "desperate".

Chen Qiyun nodded. "Why do you know the Chinese version but not the English version?"

Chen Qiyun blinked: "Because I have learned Chinese."

"Yes, you have learned Chinese and memorized it, but you haven't learned English, so you don't know it. This means that when you encounter a word you don't know, you should memorize it and remember it, so that next time you encounter it, you will know what it means."

Chen Jingle wanted her to understand the importance of memorizing words and to develop the habit of memorizing words, rather than simply memorizing them by rote and forgetting them the next time.

Chen Qiyun frowned in distress: "What if I can't remember so much?"

Chen Jingle smiled and said, "Except for a very small number of geniuses, most people need to learn step by step. Don't expect to learn everything in one go. It doesn't matter if you can't remember so much at once. Just remember a few every day. Over the years, you will know more. It can be seen that your efforts during this period have been very effective. You must keep it up."

"understood."

Chen Qiyun's expression became more relaxed.

She was a little worried that Chen Jingle would blame her for not working hard enough.

……

For dinner, the two of them had cold beef and cucumber.

The cold beef is gone after we finished eating it today, so I have to make it again if I want to eat it again.

This is the first time I make shredded cucumber.

It is called cucumber, but it is actually cucumber. People in Jiangbei call it cucumber.

The cucumbers we often talk about are more the kind that turn yellow when ripe. Compared with cucumbers, they are thicker and shorter, with a smoother surface, and can be used to make pickled cucumber strips.

Pickled cucumber strips are a good choice whether they are served with white porridge or scrambled eggs.

Chen Jingle thinks cucumbers taste better, so he basically buys cucumbers, which can be used to make cold dishes or vegetable salads.

It is crunchy and sweet, and tastes better than the fruit cucumbers sold in supermarkets if eaten raw after washing.

Chen Qiyun also liked it. She was very interested in the way of cutting the菖衣 cucumber, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

"and many more!"

After dinner, Chen Jingle stopped Chen Qiyun who was about to leave.

Chen Qiyun turned around and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Chen Jingle turned around and took out a paper tube with a rubber band on it: "Here, the gift you asked for."

"Huh?!" Chen Qiyun's eyes widened in surprise: "It's ready now? What is it?"

Chen Jingle smiled: "Just open it and you'll know, right?"

Chen Qiyun took it and carefully unfolded the paper tube.

When she saw the pattern inside, her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously held her breath.

As the paper was fully unfolded and he saw clearly what was drawn on it, he was stunned at first, and then he exclaimed "Ah!"

She tried to keep her voice down to stop herself from screaming, but her voice was shaking with excitement and she kept stamping her feet on the spot.

This surprise came too suddenly.

"Do you like it?" Chen Jingle asked with a smile.

Chen Qiyun suddenly looked up, her face flushed with excitement: "I like it so much! When did you learn to paint?"

Chen Jingle smiled slightly: "I learned it when I had time."

Can you find time to learn to this level?
Chen Qiyun was very suspicious, but didn't say anything. Her attention was completely attracted by the painting.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. I want to hold it tightly in my arms, but I’m afraid of wrinkling it.

I was a little overwhelmed, so I just held it carefully, and it took me a while to calm down.

Chen Qiyun cleared her throat and rolled up the sketch again: "Ahem, well done, I'm very satisfied."

She looked like she was trying to act reserved, but the corners of her mouth were almost curled up to the sky.

Chen Jingle smiled slightly: "Come on, try to grow to 1 meters as soon as possible, and you will get a mysterious gift later."

Chen Qiyun felt very happy.

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth curled up and he glanced at Chen Jingle: "Don't worry, I know what's going on! Just start preparing the next gift!"

Tsk~
This expression is exactly the same as in the portrait.

Chen Jing laughed happily: "Okay, I'll start preparing it and wait for you to come and get it."

Chen Qiyun left happily.

Such a good gift, I will wake up smiling in my dreams tonight.

back home.

She couldn't wait to hide in the room and take pictures from every angle with her Little Talent watch.

First send it to Li Beixing: "Teacher Li, my brother drew this for me. How do you think it is? Does it look good?"

Then post it on your Moments.

Li Beixing received a message from Chen Qiyun, clicked it and was immediately shocked.

When Chen Jingle said he was good at sketching, it turned out he wasn't kidding.

This level of sketching is already worthy of being called a master.

Well drawn indeed.

Especially the eyes, they are so shocking. Even if it is just a photo, even if you have never learned to paint, you can understand it and feel the emotions coming at you.

It turns out that this is the effect that art wants to express.

"Hiss~ So strong!!"

The shock this time was much stronger than the last time I saw Chen Jingle draw a big rooster for Liu Deqiang.

The length of the article is one thing, and the other is that it feels like his skills in portrait sketching have reached a high level.

To be honest, Li Beixing felt a little sour at this moment.

They were both portraits, so why did she paint Chen Qiyun first? Did Chen Qiyun propose it before her?
But when I thought that what Chen Qiyun was doing was a sketch, and sketches are usually drawn quickly, I felt relieved immediately.

"It's okay. Chinese painting has always been about taking your time and producing fine work."

Li Beixing comforted himself and looked forward to the portrait painting that Chen Jingle promised.

……

Chen Qiyun posted it on her circle of friends, which undoubtedly caused the admiration of her classmates.

“Wow, what a beautiful painting!”

“So real!”

"Where did Sister Yun get this? Did you pay someone to help you draw it? How much? Do you have contact information?"

“Lifelike!”

“It’s just like it was printed.”

"..."

The person who was most shocked was actually Sister Xiu.

Chen Xiuyun commented: "??? Who did you say drew this for you?"

Chen Qiyun replied: "Brother Le drew this, what's wrong? Are you envious?"

what happened?
What did you say?
Chen Xiuyun looked incredulous.

When did Chen Jingle learn to paint? How come she didn't know?
Suddenly I felt that the world became so strange.

As for whether you are envious or not...

Well, I am indeed envious, I am almost envious to death.

Chen Xiuyun gnashed her teeth and said, "It must be Chen Qiyun who pestered Chen Jingle to draw this for her! Otherwise, how could Chen Jingle have the time to draw this for her!"

That's for sure!
I immediately sent a message to ask, "How did you convince Chen Jingle to draw this for you?"
