It was another snowy morning. Xinxin came early, but compared to yesterday, he didn't seem to be very interested.
"What's wrong? You don't seem too happy?" Zhang Xueqing asked first.
The little girl shook her head and sat obediently in front of the drawing board, "Auntie, what are you drawing today?"
Zhang Xueqing glanced at the child listlessly, as if she had something on her mind. Since she didn't want to say anything, Zhang Xueqing simply didn't ask.
Pulling out the photos on her phone, they were all of the surrounding scenery she had taken in the past six months, from green forests to snow-covered roads. She picked one that was simpler than the one yesterday and typed it out with a printer. .
"Let's take this. There are relatively few elements. Just master the layout. The proportions must be coordinated, otherwise it won't look good."
"oh."
Xinxin took the piece of paper and looked at it. It seemed that it was not much simpler than yesterday.
Silently he sat back in front of the easel and began to write.
Three hours later, Xinxin came to Zhang Xueqing with the painting, handed it over obediently, and asked timidly,
"Auntie, can you take a look?"
Zhang Xueqing took it and looked at it carefully. If the perfect score was 100, it would still be acceptable to pass.
"Well, not bad. It's much better than yesterday. Xinxin is making rapid progress."
"Really?" Xinxin's eyes suddenly lit up and sparkled.
"Of course, auntie never lied to you."
Xinxin happily took back the painting and arranged the painting tools.
"Can you tell Auntie why you are unhappy today?"
As soon as the words came out, Zhang Xueqing could see with the naked eye that the busy child suddenly slumped his shoulders and returned to the same look as when he had just entered the door.
Zhang Xueqing didn't push her, and just waited quietly beside her.
After a while, Xinxin, who had packed her things, slowly walked towards Zhang Xueqing.
"Auntie, can I stop painting?"
"Don't like painting anymore?"
Xinxin shook his head.
"It takes so long to draw that I can do a lot of homework."
"When I went back yesterday, my brother watched TV for a long time and finished all his homework, much faster than me."
"Oh? But this is what a painting will look like after it's finished. It will take 2 to 3 hours if it's fast, and it'll be even worse if it's slow."
"Can I continue to do my homework? I want to do my homework, and I can do it in double copies."
Thinking about the scene of her brother eating snacks and watching TV yesterday, she felt envious. She deliberately went out early today, but it still took so long.
In the past, if she had done her homework quickly, she could complete the tasks set by her father for a day in half an hour, and the rest of the time could be freely arranged.
Now I don’t have to do homework, but I seem to have less time. No matter how I think about it, I feel that I am at a loss. It seems that doing homework is more enjoyable.
"Then you have broken the contract. We have signed an agreement."
"I know, that's why I have to write double copies, just think of it as my punishment, okay?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xueqing deliberately kept a cold face, but she felt quite happy. Two days! She can make a child who doesn't like to do homework take the initiative to ask for homework.
Full sense of accomplishment.
Seeing her expression, Xinxin's mouth tightened and her eyes turned red, "Auntie, Xinxin draws, Xinxin doesn't do her homework anymore, Xinxin listens to auntie on everything, please don't be angry, okay?"
Zhang Xueqing, who was still secretly proud, was instantly confused. What was going on now? She didn't disagree. Why was she crying now?
Could it be that I used too much force and scared the child?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xueqing's heart ached and she stepped forward to hold Xinxin in her arms and whispered softly,
"Auntie is not angry. Xinxin can do whatever she wants, as long as Auntie agrees, okay?"
The little girl wiped her tears, her big watery eyes were as red as a little rabbit,
"Really? Auntie won't be disappointed with Xinxin? She thinks Xinxin gave up halfway."
Zhang Xueqing laughed out loud, "Who said this was done halfway?"
"Brother, brother said that making a promise and not keeping it means giving up halfway."
Well, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with her. She couldn't come up with a rebuttal. She racked her brains and thought for a while before replying,
"Xinxin should go to school hard at this age, learn more knowledge, and complete homework seriously. If you give up on your studies, that would be called giving up halfway."
"Is that so?"
"Of course, when did Auntie deceive Xinxin?"
"Then I won't be unhappy if I don't draw and do homework every day, right?"
"Um!"
After confirming again and again that Zhang Xueqing was not trying to trick her, Xinxin put a smile on her face again.
"Great, Xinxin can do her homework. Xinxin likes to do her homework!"
Seeing the excited children running around the room, Zhang Xueqing also smiled.
It was really difficult to teach children, and she never wanted to do it again in her life.
So Xinxin looked worried all morning because she was worried that she would ruin the date and make him unhappy?
After thinking about how much this little girl cared about herself, Zhang Xueqing felt warm in her heart. If she had a child like Xinxin, she wouldn't be as repulsive as she thought.
Xinxin did not leave in a hurry at noon that day, but had lunch with Zhang Xueqing. The two of them sat on the sofa and watched a movie before the little girl returned home happily.
Holding the painting, Zhang Xueqing logged into her social platform again, took a photo of the painting and posted it with the text,
[From a child who wants to do double homework]
I clicked on the private chat and browsed through it casually. The wolf behind you with the ID sent her a new message.
[Why don’t you reply to my message? 】
【Do you want me to find you? 】
Zhang Xueqing instantly had goosebumps all over her body. She felt as if she was being targeted by a wolf, which was very uncomfortable.
I quickly turned off my phone and threw it into the drawer. I rubbed my hands on my arms and shook them to feel better.
The mountains in the Northeast are all similar in appearance, and she didn't leave any text information online, so no one will find her.
It is said that there are many perverts on the Internet. You don’t know whether the other person is a human or a ghost through the Internet. It seems that it is better to talk less in the future. Safety is the most important thing.
The next day, more than an hour had passed since the little girl was supposed to report on time, and no one was seen.
The home felt empty without one person, and Zhang Xueqing lost interest in painting.
I picked up a random book from the bookshelf and flipped through it carelessly, but I didn't read a word of it.
"Toot! Toot! Toot!"
The car's horn honked, and Zhang Xueqing didn't care, knowing it was the car from above. After all, cars passed by her house every day, going to the top.
But after a while, one large and one young opened her door.
"Auntie, hurry up and get dressed, let's go eat pig meat."
Xinxin said excitedly with a red face.
Zhang Xueqing probed her red face with her fingers. It was cold and freezing. It was hot in her room. As soon as she came in, she looked like a cooked prawn.
"What are you eating butchered pork? It's so cold outside, doesn't it feel nice to be warm at home?"
