The Growth System Comes at the Age of Thirty

Chapter 110 Surprise

Chen Jingle writes very quickly, so fast that he doesn’t need to stop and think.

The room was quiet except for the sound of charcoal rubbing against paper.

Soon, Chen Qiyun appeared on the paper with one hand on her hips, a slightly pursed mouth, and a faint smile.

His face is slightly turned toward the camera, and his eyelids are slightly raised, as if he is squinting from the bottom up, or as if he is using the corner of his eye to spy on others' reactions.

His eyes are extremely moving.

If you look at the gold medal works in previous national sketch competitions, you will know that a good character sketch is not enough to have a structure, a three-dimensional space, a sense of light and darkness, but also to make people feel the emotional tension.

Where do emotions come from?

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

Expressions are not necessarily real and can be disguised, but eyes are different and are deeper emotional expressions, which are people's instinctive reactions in subconscious situations.

If the painted characters have no expressions and no eyes, it will give people the impression that they only have superficial appearance and are still at the stage of being painted like.

Only when the eyes are well drawn can you slowly enter the stage of emotional expression.

If you don’t understand, Chen Jingle’s suggestion is to draw more beauties!

As you continue to draw, you will naturally understand.

Chen Jingle's favorite thing to draw is also the eyes.

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

To put it more mysteriously, the key point is the finishing step, which is the most important step in giving life to the souls of the creatures in the painting.

If the eyes are not painted well, it can be said that the entire painting is basically useless.

Chen Jingle wanted to draw a Chen Qiyun who is both charming and angry. Her eyes should make people feel like they can speak. Even if other parts of the painting are covered, just these eyes can make people feel the expression of emotions.

So far, it looks like the painting is pretty good.

At least he was satisfied.

The rest are minutiae and can be added slowly.

[It’s lunch break. Adequate sleep helps children grow physically. Please prepare your children for a nap, which is limited to one and a half hours. 】

System reminder.

Chen Jingle stopped writing and stretched: "It's almost done. Let's go here first and paint the rest of the afternoon."

In half an hour, a portrait sketch was completed, and the quality was top-notch. The speed was astonishing.

It is ranked first in the world.

Stop talking and go to sleep.

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

According to his idea, his ideal life should be to wake up after 10 o'clock in the morning, then go out to have morning tea with friends, and finish lunch together. Walking around after a meal is considered a walk and it is also a way to digest food. I come back at noon and take a nap. If the weather is good in the afternoon, I will go fishing. If the weather is bad, I will play games and read books at home. We will go out for dinner with friends at seven or eight in the evening, and then go to the top of the mountain to watch the stars after dinner. When you are tired, you can find a nearby bathing center to do a sauna and steaming, eat a late-night snack buffet, then go home and sleep.

This kind of pace of life is what he wants.

However, now I am assigned a bunch of study tasks by the system. At the age of thirty, I still have to take exams every day like a primary school student.

sigh!

"That's it for now, let's go to bed first."

Chen Jinngle simply took a shower, lay down on the bed, and started sleep mode.

…

on the other side,

Li Beixing returned home.

I saw Jiang Zhiqin watching a drama on the sofa with a tablet, and Aunt Wang preparing lunch in the kitchen.

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

"Miss, wait a minute, dinner will be served soon." Aunt Wang saw her coming in and said with a smile.

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

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

Aunt Wang nodded: "I know how to cook it, but this dish is more troublesome to prepare. I will definitely not be able to eat it at noon. If I cook it now, I can barely make it in time for dinner. If you want to eat it, miss, I can cook it."

Li Beixing was surprised: "Is it troublesome?" She thought that normal cooking would be enough.

Aunt Wang explained: "Yes, although the sauced beef of cold beef looks very 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, and the cooking process is not It takes too long, but if you want to thoroughly absorb the flavor, you still need to soak it for several hours, then wrap it and put it in the refrigerator to set, otherwise the meat will fall apart. "

Li Beixing nodded suddenly, it did not sound easy.

So, did Chen Jingle start preparing yesterday?

Chen Qiyun is really lucky.

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

"Okay, I'll ask someone to bring some beef tendons." Aunt Wang agreed quickly.

Li Beixing wondered again: "Is there any difference between beef tendons and ordinary beef?"

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

"That's it." 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 made with beef shank will taste better than Chen Jingle’s?

Li Beixing began to look forward to it.

After a while, Aunt Wang put the food and soup on the table and prepared to start the meal.

Li Qiguang had a meal at noon and didn't come back to eat. He called in advance to ask others to prepare his meal.

Despite this, the lunch was quite sumptuous.

No matter how simple the ingredients are, in the hands of Aunt Wang, a former head chef, she can cook them with extraordinary flavors.

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

But for some reason, Li Beixing always felt that it was less interesting than the cold beef he had eaten in the morning.

When Jiang Zhiqin saw that she didn't use her chopsticks very much, she asked, "What? Today's food is 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 hold back his temper and wait for dinner.

…

afternoon.

After Chen Jingle woke up.

Instead of rushing to finish the sketch I left unfinished at noon, I first watched some popular science videos to let my mind slowly wake up while accepting new knowledge from the outside world.

At this time, Chen Qiyun came over to do homework as usual on weekends.

Chen Jingle ignored her, turned off the video, and went to finish the rest of the sketch.

After painting for 20 minutes, I finally completed this work.

Both the overall shape and the detail processing are perfect.

Chen Jingle couldn't say exactly what level he was at, but it would be no worse than the top entries in domestic sketch competitions.

Unfortunately, he is not very interested in participating in competitions or anything like that. He just thinks sketching is 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 gave her corrections and explained her mistakes and mistakes.

Today I am doing an English paper.

"There are a lot of wrong words. It seems that you need to memorize them carefully when you go back. Only with enough vocabulary can you ensure that you will not be deducted too many points for reading comprehension and writing essays."

Chen Jingle said.

Chen Qiyun said "Oh".

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

"If I were to give you a random word, would 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 Chinese?" Chen Jingle wrote the words "desperate".

Chen Qiyun nodded. "Why do you know the Chinese version but don't know the English version?"

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

"Yes, you have learned Chinese and memorized it, but you have never learned English, so you don't know. This means that when you encounter a word you don't know, you have to memorize it and remember it so that you can encounter it next time. When you do it, you know what it means.”

Chen Jingle wanted her to understand the importance of memorizing words and to develop the habit of memorizing words, instead of just memorizing them by rote and forgetting them when she turned around.

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

Chen Jingle laughed: "Except for a few geniuses, most people learn step by step. Don't expect to achieve it overnight. It doesn't matter if you can't remember so much at once. Memorize a few every day. Over time, you will learn more. You can see Come out, your efforts during this period are very effective, keep it up.”

"knew."

Chen Qiyun's expression became a little more relaxed.

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

…

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

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

I ran out of the cold beef after I finished eating it today. If I want to eat it again, I have to make it again.

This is my first time making coir raincoat cucumber.

It is said to be cucumber, but it is actually cucumber. It is called cucumber here in Jiangbei.

The cucumber that is often referred to refers more to the kind that turns yellow when mature. Compared with cucumber, it is thicker and shorter, with a smoother surface. It can be used to make pickled cucumber strips.

Pickled cucumber strips are a good choice whether served with 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.

Crispy and sweet, washed and eaten raw, it tastes better than fruit cucumbers sold in supermarkets.

Chen Qiyun also liked it very much. She was very interested in the cutting method of the coir raincoat cucumber, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

"etc!"

After finishing the meal, Chen Jingle stopped Chen Qiyun who was about to leave.

Chen Qiyun turned around and asked strangely: "What to do?"

Chen Jingle turned around and took out a paper tube with a rubber band: "Here, it's the gift you want."

"Huh?!" Chen Qiyun's eyes widened and she was very surprised: "Are you ready? What is it?"

Chen Jingle smiled: "If you open it and take a look, you'll know?"

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.

When the paper was fully unfolded and the content drawn on it was clearly seen, he was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed "Ah".

She lowered her voice to prevent herself from screaming, but her voice trembled 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 raised her head, her face flushed with excitement: "I love it so much! When did you learn to draw?"

Chen Jingle smiled slightly: "I took the time to learn."

Can you reach this level if you take the time to learn?

Chen Qiyun was very suspicious, but she didn't say anything. Her attention was completely attracted by this painting.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. I want to hold it in my arms, but I'm afraid it will get wrinkled.

I was a little overwhelmed, so I held it carefully like this, and it took a while before I slowly calmed down.

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

It looked like he was trying to be reserved, but the corners of his mouth were almost raised to the sky.

Chen Jingle smiled slightly: "Come on, try to grow to 1.55 meters as soon as possible, and there will be a mysterious gift when you come back."

Chen Qiyun felt happy.

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth raised and he glanced sideways at Chen Jingle: "Don't worry, I know it well! Just start preparing the next gift!"

Tsk~

This expression is just like the one in the portrait.

Chen Jingle chuckled: "Okay, I'll start preparing it here and wait for you to pick it up."

Chen Qiyun left happily.

Such a good gift, I will wake up laughing from my dreams tonight.

Back home.

She couldn't wait to hide in the room and take pictures from all angles with her little genius watch.

First, send it to Li Beixing: "Teacher Li, my brother painted it for me. How do you like it? Does it look good?"

Then post it to Moments.

Li Beixing received Chen Qiyun's message, clicked it and was shocked.

Chen Jingle said he was good at sketching, but it turned out he was not joking.

This level of sketching is worthy of being called a famous artist.

Really well drawn.

Especially these eyes, they are so shocking. Even if it is just a photo, even if you have never studied painting, you can understand it and feel the emotions rushing towards you.

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

"Hi~ So strong!"

The level of shock this time was much greater than the last time I saw Chen Jingle painting the big rooster for Liu Deqiang.

On the one hand, the length of the book, and on the other hand, I feel that his skills in character sketching have already reached a high level.

To be honest, Li Beixing was a little sore at this moment.

It’s also a portrait of a character, so why did you draw it for Chen Qiyun first? Could it be said that Chen Qiyun proposed it before her?

But what I thought of Chen Qiyun was sketching. She always drew sketches quickly, and she felt relieved.

"It's okay. Chinese painting always emphasizes slow work and meticulous work."

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

…

Chen Qiyun posted it to Moments, which undoubtedly aroused the amazement of her classmates.

"Wow, what a beautiful painting!"

"So true!"

"Where did this come from, Sister Yun? Did you pay someone to help you draw it? How much did it cost? Do you have any contact information?"

"Lifelike!"

"It's just like what's printed on it."

“…”

The one who was most shocked was actually Sister Xiu.

Chen Xiuyun commented: "???Who did you say painted it for you?"

Chen Qiyun replied: "What happened to Brother Le's painting? Are you envious?"

What's wrong?

What did you say?

Chen Xiuyun looked in disbelief.

When did Chen Jingle learn painting? Why didn't she know?

Suddenly the world feels so strange.

As for envy or not...

Well, I am indeed envious, almost to the point of being jealous.

Chen Xiuyun gritted her teeth: "It must be Chen Qiyun who shamelessly pestered Chen Jingle to draw it for her! Otherwise, how could Chen Jingle have the time to draw this for her!"

That's for sure!

Decisively send a message to ask: "How did you convince Chen Jingle to draw this for you?"
