The cartoon accurately captures the character's expression, full of childishness and love.
Ming Shiyuan looked at Feng Xiaoyu in the painting, his eyes moistened, "The painting is so good, with a few strokes, grandma's voice and smile come alive on the paper, and the cartoon image is so cute."
Hua Yun and Hua Yue nodded repeatedly.
Hua Yun: "That's right, not only grandma, but also grandpa and two babies. The whole composition is concise and clear, with no unnecessary strokes. It's beautiful, so beautiful. Oh, sister-in-law, you painted them so well, so cute full of love."
Hua Yue: "Especially the interaction between them, the subtle observation, it is all true love. Look at the picture of grandma biting Xiao Mingcan's little foot. The two lines of wrinkles vividly show grandma's pleasure. Xiao Mingcan smiled with a little smile, It’s so cute that it kills you. Zhiyi, you can do it!”
Hua Yun became more and more excited and urged Xu Zhiyi, "Sister-in-law, are there any more paintings like this? Come on, show them all to us. The more, the better."
Seeing their reaction, Xu Zhiyi knew that they missed Feng Xiaoyu, and these paintings would bring back their fond memories of Feng Xiaoyu.
Since they want to see it, let's find it for them, and use paintings to express their feelings of missing them.
She started painting like this while she was pregnant.
At first, I drew pictures of the changes in my belly in different months, and Octavia’s interesting reaction after seeing the changes in her belly.
Mingrui was busy, so when she had free time, Feng Xiaoyu and Ming Liang were usually with her.
Especially Feng Xiaoyu, he has a special rapport with her.
The two of them got along like best friends, sharing some secrets.
For example, only Xu Zhiyi knew about Feng Xiaoyu's leakage of urine.
This was something she discovered by accident.
Feng Xiaoyu is a person who loves to be clean and respectable. If he leaks urine, he will definitely not tell anyone.
In order to prevent her family from finding out, she did not let the housekeeping staff wash her wet pants, and secretly got up in the middle of the night to do it herself.
After Xu Zhiyi became pregnant, she was particularly prone to hunger. Once she woke up hungry in the middle of the night to look for something to eat. She heard some movement in the laundry room and went in to see that it was Feng Xiaoyu.
Only then did I know this.
Strangely enough, after Xu Zhiyi accidentally discovered something that others could not talk about, Feng Xiaoyu told her calmly.
From then on, she helped Feng Xiaoyu cover up.
Afterwards, Xu Zhiyi quietly told Feng Xiaoyu that after she was seven months pregnant, her belly was too big and her belly would sometimes leak when she coughed or sneezed.
Of course, this goes away after having children.
The two of them didn't feel embarrassed at all when they talked about it, they just laughed it off like they were telling a joke.
After getting close to Feng Xiaoyu, Xu Zhiyi drew more of her.
After the child was born, she drew almost all the people who interacted with the child, and the one who drew the most was Feng Xiaoyu.
I have accumulated a lot of paintings like this.
When Feng Xiaoyu was still alive, he also praised her for her good painting.
She herself was quite satisfied.
The paintings are all about the people closest to me and the ones I love the most. The feelings are there and there is no bad reason.
After finding the painting, Xu Zhiyi asked the three of them to look at it slowly while he and Octavia went to see the child first.
The three people found all the paintings about Feng Xiaoyu and Ming Liang in chronological order, talked together, hugged the paintings, and called everyone to come to Ming Liang's house.
Xu Zhiyi and Mingrui each carried a child and came to Mingliang's house.
Seeing his great-grandson and great-granddaughter, Ming Liang became energetic and teased them one by one.
As soon as everyone arrived, Hua Yun distributed Xu Zhiyi's paintings to everyone and told them her plans.
"I want to make these pictures of my sister-in-law into a picture album to commemorate our beloved grandma. What do you think?"
Xu Zhiyi was surprised: "Publish a picture album? Is this possible?"
Hua Yun chuckled, "It's absolutely possible, sister-in-law, as long as you agree, no one has any objections. Leave the rest to me."
Hua Yun is the editor of a publishing house and is very familiar with this job.
Xu Zhiyi felt uncertain and instinctively looked at Octavia.
Mingrui held Xiao Meiliang in his right hand, put his left hand around her shoulder, and said softly:
"Zhiyi, grandma always praised you in front of me for your painting skills before she was alive. She also said that when the child is older and you have more energy, you can sort out these paintings and publish a picture album.
Now since Huayun also has this intention, let her do it.
Let’s start with grandma’s picture album, which is of great commemorative significance to the Ming family. "
Feng Xiaoyu not only praised Xu Zhiyi's painting skills in front of him, but also praised her for many things.
In fact, there is no need for anyone to tell her, he knows his wife best.
Take the five days of the funeral as an example. Even if she was not with him, he could always feel her meticulous love and care for him.
Whenever he was late for a meal, the Xu family would bring it to him one by one.
Without asking, he knew that Xu Zhiyi had arranged for them early.
She was also very honest, and she only cared about him, while the rest of the Ming family didn't care at all.
Last night, the couple slept in the same bed for the first time in five days. He hugged her and complained about it happily.
After listening to it, she was puzzled by his complaints and said it was natural:
"Except for you, I don't have to worry about anyone else.
Grandpa has his children to worry about, and parents have their sons, that is, you to worry about.
Not to mention my aunt's family.
Neither I nor my children are with you, but you are alone. If I don't let anyone keep an eye on you, how pitiful you will be.
You have lost your grandma who loves you the most. "
She spoke so seriously that she even looked a little silly.
But inexplicably, Octavia's eyes became hot.
Sure enough, sincerity is a must-win.
Xu Zhiyi gave him a sense of security with his actions.
Feng Xiaoyu is gone, but he still has her.
He fully supports the publication of the album.
When everyone heard it, they thought it was a good idea.
The Ming family paid for the publication, and there was no intention of making any money. It was simply a souvenir for the Ming family.
Xu Zhiyi was naturally happy that his paintings were recognized by everyone and could be published in books.
Immediately, she authorized Hua Yun to handle the matter with full authority.
There are many steps involved in the picture album from applying for a publication number, to designing, to publishing it as a book, and it may not be ready for a while.
The picture album was not specifically for commercial use, so Xu Zhiyi was not in a hurry, let alone taking it lightly.
After seeing off Ming Shiyuan's family and Hua Yue, having dinner, and putting the two children to sleep, Xu Zhiyi and Mingrui could finally relax and catch their breath.
She lay in Mingrui's arms, hugging his neck, and said uneasily:
"Husband, have you forgotten something important about the company around you?"
"Huh? Wife, what's the important thing?"
"This is Xiao An's opinion. This matter has never been mentioned to Xiao An. Everyone seems to think that Xiao An has no reason not to agree to take over as the president of the surrounding company. However, he has the possibility and freedom not to accept it. This matter can no longer be hidden from him. You have to seek his opinion before acting on your own initiative."
Octavia patted his forehead.
She was right.
