Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

After writing the fine regular script with a brush, the advanced calligraphy practice was finally completed.

[Record]: Depict and record 0/200 moments of your life, increase your maximum spirit by 2, and gain [Imitation and Learning].

Zhang Chaoqiang has set a new goal.

Capture and record fleeting moments of life?

It seems I should improve my drawing skills.

At the start of winter break, Zhang Chaoqiang asked Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei to enroll him in a painting class, mainly to learn realistic landscapes and sketching.

In just a few professional classes, Zhang Chaoqiang has become able to use color flexibly, and his teacher said he has a real talent for oil paint.

It was around the 27th of the year, two days before Lunar New Year's Eve, during the last class of the painting class.

Zhang Chaoqiang depicted the things in the studio and the scenery outside the window on the canvas.

Before the holiday, red decorations were hung everywhere in the studio, and red lanterns on the trees outside the window swayed in the wind. All sorts of details could be fully expressed on the cramped canvas.

Record +1

This year's Spring Festival, Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue were both quite excited.

Tan Yue escaped the loneliness of spending the Spring Festival at home with Lao Chen in previous years and spent it with Zhang Chaoqiang's family this year.

Chapter 48 Animal

Today's Spring Festival celebrations are so lively, and it feels especially festive.

But it's the same every year; some traditional customs have never changed, only people's feelings and attitudes have.

Zhang Chaoqiang's home is located in Dafeng Street, which is right next to Pingshui Street. On the 27th of the year, colorful lights were hung all over the cypress trees around it.

The red light flashed, complementing the red lanterns hanging from the forked branches.

Even before the Spring Festival, the air is already filled with the spirit of spring.

Zhang Huolong finally completed the task of preparing all the goods that should have been prepared before the New Year the day before.

I also finished my tasks for the new year. Today the factory is preparing for the holiday, so we're doing a thorough cleaning. At noon, the factory is holding its annual meeting, with a lucky draw and lunch.

As the team leader, Zhang Huolong also received a year-end bonus of nearly 8,000 yuan.

On the last day of the year, just like Shen Qiangwei, I finally left work early for the first time ever.

Around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Huolong had already driven his vehicle from the factory to Mingshe Tattoo Shop to pick up Shen Qiangwei.

Their plan was to buy New Year's goods and cleaning tools later, and then pick up Zhang Chaoqiang from his painting class.

Just as Zhang Huolong arrived at the tattoo shop, a gust of air filled with chicken feathers and excrement slammed into him, causing him to stumble and almost lose his grip on the handlebars.

The clattering sound of half-sandals accompanied by a cry: "Oh no, oh no, I got two big roosters for Chinese New Year... But thankfully I've learned how to handle them..."

Shen Qiangwei was carrying a chicken coop, inside which were two large roosters with their legs bound. They would occasionally raise their wings and struggle against their restraints, and each movement would fill the surrounding air with the smell of chicken feathers.

Zhang Huolong quickly took it and placed it on the pedal.

"Honey, buckle up, we need to get home quickly, or the chicken poop will dirty my car!"

Zhang Huolong gritted his teeth, cherishing his chariot very much. He hurriedly placed the rooster on the balcony and separated it with a cardboard box so that the smell wouldn't spread throughout the house.

And so began the purchase of New Year's goods.

Sunflower seeds and snacks, cleaning tools for spring cleaning, blank Spring Festival couplets and horizontal scrolls.

As for why it's blank, it's because there's a "calligraphy master" in the family who can write beautiful characters, so why would we need to borrow someone else's hand?

After picking up Zhang Chaoqiang, the three of them began a horrific cleaning spree the next day.

When Zhang Chaoqiang's mother, Shen Qiangwei, tried to clean the floor with dish soap, he refused and corrected her, telling her that baking soda was more effective at removing oil stains and stubborn dirt from the tiles.

My mom accepted it, and I actually became a modifier!

Why was it so easy to change and adjust my mother's behavior this time?

The reason was that Shen Qiangwei insisted on using dish soap at first and carried out the procedure, but even after washing it twice, it still could not be completely cleaned. When Zhang Huolong walked by, he slipped and fell hard.

She then switched from cheap dish soap to baking soda.

Zhang Chaoqiang understood that only when there are consequences will people realize their mistakes.

"Chaoqiang, can you get a damp cloth for Dad and wipe down the small items on the counter?"

Zhang Chaoqiang glanced at the dusty, long-neglected ornaments and refused, saying:

"No, there's too much dust. You need to sweep away the surface dust with a small broom first, then wipe it. That will make the cleaning more effective!"

"Chaoqiang knows so much!"

He finally seized the opportunity and became a rebel.

Disobedient +1

By the afternoon, the house was mostly tidied up, but the floor wasn't completely dry yet. Fortunately, the weather had been very sunny these past two days, so I believe the remaining water stains on the floor will dry completely in two or three hours.

They were discussing what to wear for the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't comment too much on the clothes they chose for each other or for himself, as long as the fire didn't burn him.

Snap! One second I was thinking that, but the next second Zhang Huolong was measuring my size by draping a standard Want Want suit over my back.

"I specifically bought this outfit a size up two years ago. It's a bit tight now, but I can still wear it. Once I grow a bit more, it really won't fit anymore..."

As Zhang Huolong spoke, what was with that hint of melancholy and loneliness in his words?

Zhang Chaoqiang immediately refused, he refused vehemently, shaking his head vigorously, and said with a distressed expression, "Dad, I don't want to wear this!"

So embarrassing.

Zhang Chaoqiang was fortunate enough to have tasted this brand of milk—no, dairy-flavored beverage. If he had such a huge, iconic logo on his body, he would have died on the spot.

This time, the number of times the disobedience did not increase, and Zhang Chaoqiang was somewhat disappointed. It seemed that refusing his father had disappointed and saddened the father.

One thing at a time, he made up his mind that he would rather die than wear that Want Want outfit.

On the 29th of the year, Lao Chen and Tan Yue arrived carrying large and small bags, much to the surprise and delight of Zhang Chaoqiang's family.

Zhang Huolong, with his mature demeanor, reprimanded Old Chen: "You came all this way, why did you bring so much stuff?"

Old Chen gave him a disgruntled look: "These are imported snacks and candies, and also some writing materials for Chaoqiang."

In addition, this red bag contains high-quality siren meat, which is almost impossible to find on the market, but is a good ingredient that I have treasured for many years.

I'll be showing off my skills for your New Year's Eve dinner! The best chef and the best ingredients—I guarantee you'll never forget it!

The adults exchanged pleasantries, while Tan Yue quietly watched Zhang Chaoqiang write characters on the Spring Festival couplets.

She always did this; she would patiently watch over Zhang Chaoqiang most of the time while he was working.

Help me sprinkle gold powder into the ink, so that the written characters will have a shimmering gold powder appearance, and shine brightly when the light shines on them.

Everyone began to put up Spring Festival couplets and horizontal scrolls on the doors of each room.

May you live a long and peaceful life, and may your family be harmonious and prosperous.

Horizontal scroll: May all your wishes come true.

After dusting off his hands, Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue helped out. Old Chen moved swiftly and with strong bones, he stepped onto the wooden ladder and quickly and firmly pasted the horizontal scroll.

After all that was done, it was already the afternoon of the 29th of the lunar year. Today was also New Year's Eve, and the family began preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

In reality, only Old Chen was making the preparations.

But today, he made an exception because, after Zhang Chaoqiang's chicken-killing incident last time, he discovered that Zhang Chaoqiang was a good cook.

"Super strong! Come help me!"

For the first time ever, Old Chen agreed to let someone else, besides himself, into the kitchen.

"Extremely powerful?"

Upon going outside, he saw Zhang Chaoqiang standing alone at the door of his room. He looked up, staring blankly at the four characters above the door.

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei stood to the side, not understanding what he was doing.

Tan Yue looked somewhat embarrassed, all of them standing behind him.

After a long silence, Zhang Chaoqiang spoke:

"Dad, why did you put the phrase 'Prosperity of Livestock' on my room?"

"What do you mean by 'six domestic animals prospering'? Isn't that 'six kinds of wealth prospering'?" Zhang Huolong craned his neck and squinted, puzzled.

Chapter 49 After the New Year's Eve Dinner

Zhang Chaoqiang looked at it from all angles, completely baffled.

It's understandable to misread a single character. But shouldn't one at least have some common sense? Where is the idiom "六富兴旺" (six blessings and prosperity) found?

Even my mom thinks there's no problem?

"This signifies the prosperity of livestock and is usually pasted on pigsties, chicken coops, and other similar places. The purpose of writing this is probably to paste it on chicken coops to signify the prosperity of poultry."

Old Chen spoke up to explain, then raised his doubts again: "Super Strong's dad? Tell me what you're thinking."

He grabbed a stool and sat down, while Tan Yue also looked at him curiously.

Zhang Huolong stared at the "Six Livestock Prosperity" that Zhang Chaoqiang had dismantled, pondering, "Six Prosperity refers to the wealth and prosperity of six generations, that's my interpretation."

Shen Qiangwei nodded firmly beside him. Old Chen was shocked, and his arm, which was as steady as Mount Tai, trembled as he gave the two of them a thumbs up: "Invincible."

Kill the chicken, scald it with water, pluck its feathers, and remove its internal organs.

Chop, chop, chop... chopping vegetables and preparing the dish.

Wash the dishes and chopsticks, prepare the food and arrange it on a plate, and prepare the seasonings.

At this moment, under Lao Chen's slight guidance, Zhang Chaoqiang has now become a ruthless kitchen helper!

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't know what kind of sea monster jerky Old Chen brought.
