Seven Zero: The vicious female supporting role pampered four little villains

Chapter 30 Someone in the Neighboring Village Invites Jiang Li to Come for a Portrait

Seeing Goudan coaxing the two babies well, Jiang Li sneaked out to work again.

A woman with two children has a lot of housework every day.

Jiang Li first cleaned up the dishes, wiped the table, swept the floor, and then began to prepare the ingredients for lunch.

It's not easy to cook alone, Jiang Li plans to cook a bowl of noodles for himself and add some shredded pork and eggs.

The main reason is that I am still breastfeeding my baby, and the nutrition must keep up. If possible, it is best to drink soybean trotter soup, crucian carp tofu soup, and local chicken soup.

It's a pity that the family conditions are limited now, Jiang Li can only make do with it.

The confinement is finally over, and then you can't lie down like before, it's time to make money!

The old lady of Aunt Six's family miraculously survived for another month after painting the portrait.

Just after Jiang Li gave birth, the old lady passed away. I have to say that this incident is quite a coincidence.

Aunt Six's family had already made preparations, so they didn't feel flustered, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

After the portrait painted by Jiang Li was framed, it was placed in the center of the mourning hall.

Funerals in the 70s were very simple. After the old man passed away, the coffin and portrait were placed in the middle of the hall, and relatives and friends came to pay their respects.

Invite everyone to have a meal at noon, and the burial will take place in the afternoon.

When the portrait was put out, all the villagers who had been curious for a long time came to watch the ceremony.

This portrait was drawn by Jiang Li when they saw it with their own eyes. At that time, they were far away and did not see the whole picture, but only saw the outline.

Now the portrait is placed in front of them, and the more they look at it, the more amazed they become.

This Jiang Li is really good at painting!

Who would have believed that such a lifelike portrait had been drawn with pencils had he not seen it with his own eyes!

Some people wondered, since Jiang Li can paint portraits of people, can he paint wedding photos and family portraits?

It is very troublesome to go to a photo studio to take pictures, and the price is expensive, and sometimes it is not very clear because of bad relationships.

Jiang Li's paintings can be large or small, so it would be very meaningful to keep such a commemorative portrait framed and hung on the wall at home, right?

Just use richer colors, if you also use black and white photos, it will look a bit like a portrait.

Not only the people in Jiangjia Village knew about Jiang Li's ability to paint portraits, but people in the next few villages also got wind of it.

This time the old lady passed away, and Aunt Six's house was extremely lively.

Not only many people came from his own village, but also many people from the neighboring villages.

The old lady's funeral was very lively, and Jiang Li's reputation rose greatly.

But at that time Jiang Li was still at home with the baby, unaware of the bustle here.

After eating at noon, Goudan ran out for a walk again. This guy couldn't stay idle at all, and basically had to go out every day.

Just as Jiang Li was about to sit down in the afternoon, several people came to the door.

"Excuse me, is this Jiang Li's house?"

Jiang Li hurried out when he heard the knock on the door and saw some strange faces.

"You are?"

"We are from the village next door. I heard that you are very good at painting portraits of the elderly. The old man in the family is dying. I would like to invite you to come and paint a portrait."

Several people explained their intentions. There were two people who wanted portraits. They both lived in Lijia Village next door. Their houses were very close to each other. The relationship between the two old men was also very good.

Jiang Li was quite satisfied with the income that he could get two yuan for the last visit.

It's just that the two children at home are worried that no one is watching, and even more worried when they take them with them when they travel far.

The few people saw her silent for a long time, probably because they thought it was not worth the money, so they consciously raised the price.

"As long as you are willing to go, our family will give you 1 yuan and 5 cents, and the two families add up to three yuan."

"Actually, it's not a question of money. The main reason is that I have two children who have just turned one month old at home. What will happen to them if I leave?"

"This……"

People who come here are also very embarrassed. It is not suitable for a child who has just reached the moon to meet a dying person, and it is even more inappropriate to keep it at home.

Could it be that this trip has returned in vain?Thinking of the stubborn old man at home, the two looked expectantly at Jiang Li again.

"You two, my family's situation is really inconvenient to travel far away, so I can only be sorry, thank you for making this trip!"

"Oh! You child, how can you waste such a good opportunity to make money? There is no one to take care of the child, so my aunt will help you!"

Yao Qiaoyun happened to pass by here and heard a few people talking, and immediately took the initiative to take over the job of raising the baby.

The men in their family earn more work points, and it doesn't matter if they don't do a day's work in the field.

Jiang Li needed help here, so she came out without thinking.

"Auntie, I'm always sorry for bothering you."

"No trouble, no trouble, hurry up while it's still early."

"Hey!" Someone was helping to look after the baby, and he was the most trusted person besides his younger brother. Jiang Li immediately packed up his things and set off with them.

Lijia Village is only half an hour away from Jiangjia Village. Under the leadership of several people, Jiang Li quickly arrived at the old man's house.

The old man was lying on the bed dying, when he saw his grandson bringing someone over, he first asked with surprise, "Granddaughter-in-law!"

"No." The young man explained with a blushing face. Who would have thought that the old man could change his face faster than turning the pages of a book, so he immediately turned his back in displeasure and didn't bother to look at him again.

"Master, this is Jiang Li from Jiangjia Village, specially made a portrait for you!"

In order to avoid misunderstanding with his grandfather, the young man hurriedly introduced Jiang Li's identity.

The old man turned his head back with difficulty, glanced sideways at Jiang Li, and said with disdain: "Just this girl? I can't believe it!"

The old man is in his 70s. He participated in the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea in the early years. He was injured at that time, and his health deteriorated as he got older.

Knowing that time is running out, he has always wanted to find someone to paint a portrait of himself.

But in this day and age, there are no people who specialize in painting, and even if there are, they will not appear in their corner.

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable person, but my grandson brought such a little girl to the door. Isn't this just fooling him?

"Master, you have taught me not to look like a person since I was a child. Although Jiang Li is a girl, her portrait skills are first-class. Let me tell you..."

The young man told the old man vividly the two finished portraits that Jiang Li drew in the village.

"Everyone in the village trusts the portraits she paints. Several people have asked her to come to the door for portraits. If you miss her, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to find a painter you like!"

The young man deserves to be a grandfather who knows his family well. When he said a few words to his heart, the old man didn't trust him from the beginning, but now he turned around and looked at Jiang Li seriously again: "What my grandson said is true? Are your portraits really that good?"

"Grandpa, it's not just a matter of words. If you are not satisfied with the drawing after a while, how about I don't charge for this trip?"
