Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1123 - 1119: Talent
"Come, let’s learn this character today."
Teacher Xu wrote the character "ear" on the small blackboard.
Xiao Ya and Tang Tang sat opposite her, but one was sitting upright, listening attentively, while the other was grinning foolishly, head down, completely immersed in her own world drawing.
Xiao Jing saw this and didn’t mind, focusing on Xiao Ya and saying, "This is the character for ear, whether it’s rabbit ears, monkey ears, or human ears, it’s this character..."
As she spoke, Teacher Xu touched her own ear, and the attentively listening Xiao Ya also raised her head and touched her small ear.
Meanwhile, Tang Tang remained immersed in her world, the colored pencil sketching a chaotic jumble of lines on the paper.
Xiao Jing guided Xiao Ya to read it twice, then asked her to write the character three times on paper, before walking over to Tang Tang’s side.
She didn’t disturb Tang Tang, squatting down beside her to see what she was drawing.
Tang Tang had a great talent for drawing, especially in the use of colors and the perspective of objects, holding a unique view and insight.
Although Xiao Jing wasn’t skilled at drawing, she understood some basic theoretical foundations, which is why she previously suggested Shen Siyuan find a professional teacher for Tang Tang, as it would be a pity to waste such talent.
Unfortunately, Mr. Shen seemed not to have plans to hire an art teacher for Tang Tang.
Only when Tang Tang’s pencil paused did Xiao Jing speak softly, "What are you drawing?"
As Xiao Jing spoke, she gestured with her hands.
"A baby?"
Looking at the chaotic tangle of lines wrapped together in front of her, Xiao Jing couldn’t see the appearance of a baby.
"This is an eye, this is a nose, this is an ear..."
Tang Tang pointed with her little finger each time she spoke, but when it came to the ear, she pointed to the character on the small blackboard.
"So you were ’listening’?"
Xiao Jing felt surprised because earlier, seeing Tang Tang not paying attention, she hadn’t used sign language gestures.
"Han~"
Tang Tang picked up the drawing from the table, reaching out to hand it to Xiao Jing.
"Oh~"
"Is this for me?" Xiao Jing asked.
This time, she deliberately didn’t use sign language gestures, yet Tang Tang still nodded.
"Tang Tang, can you hear me speaking?" Xiao Jing asked excitedly.
But Tang Tang’s little face showed a look of bewilderment.
Xiao Jing appeared disappointed, asking again, "Can you hear me speaking?"
Yet Tang Tang continued to look at her with a puzzled expression.
"Alright..."
Xiao Jing sighed, stood up with the drawing, and walked over to Xiao Ya.
"Xiao Ya, have you finished writing?"
"Finished."
"Let me check it for you."
Although Xiao Ya wasn’t particularly gifted, she was very diligent in her studies, so her writing was very neat.
"This vertical shouldn’t be too long, and remember, there are two horizontal lines inside..."
Xiao Jing corrected Xiao Ya’s mistakes, and Tang Tang craned her neck to watch curiously.
Once Xiao Jing finished correcting Xiao Ya, she turned to Tang Tang beside her and asked, "Tang Tang, have you learned how to write this?"
This time she used sign language to communicate her meaning to Tang Tang.
Upon hearing this, Tang Tang, still holding the pencil, directly wrote the character "ear" on the paper.
"Wonderful."
Xiao Jing couldn’t help but praise her.
While diligent Xiao Ya’s writing had errors, the inattentive Tang Tang had written it perfectly.
Sometimes, she couldn’t help but marvel at how talent can be a dividing line between people.
Seeing both had learned the character, Xiao Jing took the drawing Tang Tang had given her and walked towards her seat.
As the teaching took place on the eastern side of the study near the window, the morning sun could shine through, making the room appear exceptionally bright.
She was about to place the drawing back on the table when, at that moment, her eyes caught the sunlit painting, and she spotted a child with an open mouth crying.
Startled, she instinctively loosened her grip, and the drawing floated gently to the ground.
Once she realized, Xiao Jing hurriedly picked up the drawing, then faced the sunlight at the window, letting the light pass through the painting, adjusting several angles until she once again saw the image of the crying baby.
It seemed to be a newborn, with limbs curled up, sparse hair, eyes not fully open, and a wrinkled little face wailing.
"Eyes, nose, ears..."
Xiao Jing murmured, these matched the places Tang Tang previously pointed to.
Tang Tang’s drawing wasn’t realistic, still a tangled mess of lines, chaotic, but somehow managed to convey to those who saw it what she wanted to depict, a skill Xiao Jing found both difficult and magical.
Moreover, when you see clearly what she has drawn, you easily find yourself resonating with her.
Like this crying little baby in front of you, there are no sad eyes, and no teardrops falling, yet you can almost hear the heart-wrenching cries of the baby at her ear.
"Really... really..."
Xu Xiaojing carefully withdrew the painting from her hand and tucked it into the book she brought.
The longer she spends time with Tang Tang, the more amazed she is by the talent of this child.
Now she even wonders if she has a child in the future, because it would be too ordinary, would there be too much psychological gap that would make her less likely to love him.
Sometimes, she even has the comical idea of stealing Tang Tang home to raise him, as she simply loves this little kid too much.
"Teacher Xu, are we going to learn writing?"
Seeing Xu Xiaojing in a daze, Xiao Ya quietly asked.
"You guys take a break first, go to the restroom, drink... uh..."
Xu Xiaojing hadn’t finished her words when Tang Tang shot out towards the room door.
"han~"
At this time, could you hear someone speaking again?
-----------------
"Wow~"
Accompanied by the loud cries of a baby, Ruan Xiangqian suddenly sprang to his feet.
He quickly took three steps to the front of the delivery room and peered inside through the glass door.
Ruan Hongzhuang followed closely behind, her face both joyful and anxious.
She didn’t go closer but instead held onto Shen Siyuan’s arm, asking softly, "How is my mom? Is she okay?"
"She is fine, recovering quickly, I think she should be able to return home soon." Shen Siyuan glanced at the delivery room and said.
Ruan Hongzhuang felt relieved upon hearing this and then asked about the child’s situation.
"What about my bro... the little baby?" She was still a bit unaccustomed to the word ’brother’.
Who would have thought, almost thirty years old, and suddenly mom gives her a little brother.
"Ruan Ruan, do you think if we have a child, would it fight with your brother?" Taozi suddenly came close and asked softly.
"Definitely, haven’t you seen Dou Dou and Tang Tang fighting every day?" Shen Siyuan said with a laugh.
"Then if they fight, who would you help?" Taozi naturally asked Ruan Hongzhuang.
"Of course, I would help my own child, isn’t a brother meant for being bullied?" Ruan Hongzhuang said, clenching her fist.
"Then hurry up and give birth."
Sitting nearby and silent all along, Huang Huijuan seized the chance and urged them.
Just then, the delivery room door was opened, and a nurse came out holding a baby.
"Dad of the child..."
Before the nurse could ask, Ruan Xiangqian had already eagerly moved forward.
Ruan Hongzhuang and the others quickly moved up too.
The little guy in the swaddle, sparse hair, all wrinkled, red skin, looking slightly ugly.
"Oh my, why is it so ugly?" Ruan Hongzhuang said with a face full of disdain.
"Where is it ugly, all babies look like this, they grow well," Ruan Xiangqian quickly defended.
Ruan Hongzhuang cast him a displeased side glance.
At this point, the nurse beside them smiled and said, "This little baby, when grown up, will definitely be a handsome guy."
"How can you tell?" Taozi asked curiously.
"His eyes are large, and red skin indicates he will be very fair when he grows up..." the nurse explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at Taozi, thinking she must have looked the same when she was little, given her pale complexion now.
Ruan Xiangqian, immersed in joy, snapped back to reality when he heard the nurse praising.
He quickly handed the child to Ruan Hongzhuang, asking her to hold him.
Ruan Hongzhuang also accepted carefully, afraid of injuring the child.
And Ruan Xiangqian, reached into his pocket and took out a stack of red packets.
He directly handed one to the nurse.
This was happiness money, and the nurse accepted it with a smile, pinching it to sense the significant amount, her smile growing more genuine.
"Ruan Huichun, giggle~" Ruan Hongzhuang held her brother, gently teasing him.
And Ruan Huichun was precisely the name of this little guy.
This name, though simple, carries special significance.
For one, the couple, having journeyed through life, at the age of knowing fate, returned to youth, becoming parents late, was another spring blossom in their lives.
Secondly, it symbolizes the continuation of the Ruan Family, like a withered tree encountering spring...
