It’s a Stepmother, Not a Sister [70s] - Chapter 50
“Don’t waste time arguing with her.”
Xue Li clicked her tongue twice, “Thanks she had the face to say before, who is it that is looking for a man now?”
“Look at her nostrils are going up to the sky now, and the two men next to her are not good things.”
…
Jiang Shuangling shook her head, not interested in arguing about these irrelevant people, even if they eat melons, they don’t want to eat such unpleasant melons.
“Come on, let’s go in.”
I can not wait any more.”
“I’ll show it to you after the training session, and then I’ll have time to discuss it.”
Xue Li was not willing to wait any longer, “Sister Jiang, you can show me now, just like me, you know, art class is for nothing.”
“We can’t learn it either.”
Jiang Shuangling looked at her and shook her head: “Since you have signed up for the art newspaper, you should listen to the class carefully, and don’t live up to Teacher He’s expectations for the training class.”
It is extremely disrespectful to the teacher by deserting in class.
Xue Li could only sigh in disappointment after hearing what she said, “Then I hope I can learn more in class today.”
“Stop talking, let’s go in.”
Jiang Shuangling and Xue Li walked into the classroom and found a front seat to sit down. Jiang Shuangling picked up the paper bag she carried, walked to He Wenjin, and handed her the homework they had practiced for the past two days. .
He Wenjin looked at the pile of drawing paper, first she was stunned, then she was surprised. She lent the book before, thinking that the other party was just starting with enthusiasm and impulsiveness, but she did not expect In just a few days, the other party has already practiced so many paintings.
She glanced high at Jiang Shuangling in front of her: “You are really the most hardworking and talented I have ever seen. If you can keep persevering, you will definitely achieve great achievements in this area.”
“Why so many, are you practicing these days?”
Jiang Shuangling smiled and nodded: “Yes, I have nothing else to do at home. I practice art in my free time.”
“Okay, if you need other books in the future, you can ask me to borrow them.”
Jiang Shuangling left her seat, leaving only Xue Li to sit there waiting for class, because she was thinking about the comics drawn by Jiang Shuangling, Xue Li’s excited mood could not calm down for a long time, she could not wait to get it right away When I saw it, I immediately went to contribute to the “Rongcheng Illustrated Magazine”.
Jiang Shuangling didn’t know yet that Xue Li had already prepared the envelopes and stamps for mailing submissions before coming to the training class.
Xue Li fantasized about the scene where the comic book was published in the pictorial, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but lift.
However, the discussions around her called her out of her sweet dream.
“It’s the one surnamed Jiang…the pretty one…”
“I was sitting there just now, and now I don’t know where to go.”
“Is that there?”
…
Xue Li didn’t care at first, but later she found out that they were talking to Jiang Shuangling, so she was shocked, and curiously pushed the woman in blue-collar workwear not far away, “Where are you? What do you say?”
The woman told Xue Li what she knew.
“You don’t know yet, the woman sitting next to you, she seems to be surnamed Jiang. Eighteen or nineteen years old, how can such a big child be a stepmother for others.”
“To be a stepmother at such a young age, you can see what she wants to do when you think about it. Her man is a battalion commander, and she is probably ten years older than her…”
“Such a beautiful young girl married an old and ugly man. She doesn’t dislike the poor and love the rich. She can spend money to come here to study art, not because of her man.”
…
Xue Li: “! Jun Junjun
“You talk nonsense.”
Xue Li couldn’t believe what she heard.
“This is not nonsense, otherwise you ask her yourself, and you are not afraid of being a stepmother?”
Xue Li: “…”
Jiang Shuangling packed up her scattered homework and went back to Xue Li to sit down again. After hitting her back, all the discussions on the side were shut down.
Xue Li sat dazedly in the seat and looked at her with a strange look.
“Sister Jiang, are you only eighteen or nineteen?”
Jiang Shuangling raised her eyebrows, “Yes.”
“Then you…then you…” Thinking of the rumors she heard just now, Xue Li felt a headache, but she always felt that Jiang Shuangling in front of her was definitely not the kind of person they said.
“Did you hear something?”
Xue Li nodded and told Jiang Shuangling the rumors she heard just now. After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Shuangling, for fear that she would be furious, but she did not expect that Jiang Shuangling was not angry. On the contrary, he showed a kind of uneasy look.
Jiang Shuangling: “…Say I hate the poor and love the rich and married an old man??”
After saying this sentence, Jiang Shuangling couldn’t help but laugh, she really couldn’t draw an equal sign between the appearance of Qi Heng in her memory and the word old man.
What’s more, when Qi Heng doesn’t keep his face straight, he looks full of youth from certain angles.
This is… an old man?
—It’s obviously a dog man.
Xue Li: “…”
Jiang Shuangling: “Pfft—”
Jiang Shuangling finally burst out laughing, associating Qi Heng with the word old man, and the comedy effect reached its peak.
Xue Li was confused, “What are you laughing at?”
Jiang Shuangling rubbed her face down, smiling softly in her eyes, “I want to laugh when I think of the old man at home.”
“Looking at your appearance, I absolutely don’t believe the rumors they say are true.” Xue Li put her chin on her hand and looked at the woman in front of her.
“Why?”
“You are affectionate to your husband, and you said you would make clothes for him…”
“Well, the old man asked me several times for the clothes. I finally finished the clothes for him the day before yesterday.”
Xue Li, who is not yet married, looked at the person in front of her with envy: “It is happiness for a woman to be able to marry someone she likes.”
“I’m curious how good your husband is to be liked by such a beautiful girl as you.”
Jiang Shuangling tried her best to stop the smile on her face, “When there is a chance in the future, I will let you meet my old man.”
Xue Li: “Okay.”
“He went on a business trip these few days, and he wanted to show him the clothes he had made, but he had to wait another four or five days…” Speaking of the clothes she made, Jiang Shuangling said: She also has regrets in her heart. She really fell into it. She is also looking forward to the day when Qi Heng and Qi Heng take their children to take a family photo.
This time in art class, Xue Li listened very carefully. Under the guidance of Jiang Shuangling, the homework in class was barely passable, and there were no major jokes. After class, Xue Li Pretty happy to go and get my homework back.
—this is her rare good work.
Jiang Shuangling stood at the door holding a paper bag and waited for her. Behind her, a beautiful long braid fell gently down her chest along her shoulders. Her face was round and beautiful, and she stood there like a Paintings make people feel peaceful and beautiful.
People who came out of the classroom always had a few eyes that could not help falling on her.
At the same time they were whispering something.
Jiang Shuangling heard those shrill comments, nothing more than what Xue Li told her, saying that she married an old officer who was ten years older than her, saying that she to be a stepmother…
These things are in Jiang Shuangling’s ears, and they are basically painless. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. No matter where they are, there will be all kinds of rumors. She probably knows these rumors. Where did it come from.
When she was young, that is, when she was in her twenties, when she was in college, she would be furious when she heard it. At that time, there were rumors about her in the Academy of Fine Arts, saying that she was good-looking, Being highly valued, it must have some unclean relationship with so-and-so and the like…
Those words hurt her.
—a factory man wearing glasses suddenly stopped in front of her and looked at her with an unbelievably lost look, it was Zhang Yuesheng who had introduced himself before, “I didn’t expect you to be so Such a woman.”
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
The other party is not her own, Jiang Shuangling didn’t bother to give him a look, she pushed a few broken hairs on her forehead behind her ear, and waved at Xue Li who was walking towards her.
Xue Li took her homework and ran towards her like a child. From her posture, it could be seen that she was very excited.
Zhang Yuesheng found that after the woman in front of him listened to his words, she didn’t even give him an explanation or even a look, which made him feel a burst of embarrassment and anger, he snorted coldly, Turn around and leave.
– An old man with a child.
Zhang Yuesheng thought that after he asked this sentence, the other party would explain to him with a face full of grievances, tell his embarrassment, and then he would comfort her carefully and gain her favor and admiration.
He will be the one who understands her.
He even thought that, like a woman who yearns for art, she must have a soul that pursues individual freedom, and will never be bound by that painful and embarrassing worldly marriage in a narrow in the corner.
Who knew she was…
At this moment, someone behind him stopped him, it was Sun Yanyan, she blinked, with a smile on her face, her voice was the sweetness of a young woman: “Mechanic Zhang, can you? Take me for a walk—to visit your factory.”
“Okay.” Zhang Yuesheng looked at Sun Yanyan’s whole body and looked back at the back of the woman at the door of the classroom. The other party’s positive flattery made him very useful.
“Sister Jiang!” Xue Li excitedly stopped in front of Jiang Shuangling, shook her homework, she took the initiative to hold Jiang Shuangling’s hand, “Go for a walk, go to my house, I Can’t wait.”
Jiang Shuangling smiled and said, “Don’t be disappointed when you see it.”
Xue Li’s expectations are too high, and it will be a kind of pressure for their creators. After all, there are thousands of Hamlets in the eyes of thousands of people, and Jiang Shuangling is not completely sure that Xue Li will meet her works satisfied.
It’s a great thing, how dare you ask for too much.
What’s more, Xue Li once secretly painted by herself.
The characters she draws are as frightening as the monsters in Shanhaijing.
Xue Li’s mother once joked: “You go to learn painting? Draw it for others to illustrate the classics of mountains and seas…”
“Sister Xue, if you want to see so much, then hurry up.” Hearing that the other party called Sister Jiang for most of the day, Jiang Shuangling couldn’t help but jokingly – said the corresponding address.
Xue Xue Xue…Xue Mei?
Xue Li: “!
Xue Li suddenly remembered the rumor she heard just now, “Wait, Sister Jiang, they say you are only eighteen-nine years old?”
Jiang Shuangling coughed, “Yes.”
Although she once passed her twenty-ninth birthday, she is just now of legal age for marriage in this era.
Xue Li felt a trance: “But I’m twenty.”
It is reasonable to say that she should not be her sister.
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
You are the sister Jiang you called yourself.
“I really don’t mind if you call me sister.” Jiang Shuangling – spread her hands, comforting each other gently, who made her have three stinky brothers in the family.
Xue Li wanted to cry without tears, “But I don’t mind, Sister Jiang.”
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
Jiang Mei? ?
What the **** is this called? ? ?
She has lived for so many years, and she has never heard anyone call her Jiangmei.
“Sister Xue?”
Xue Li was shocked by the call of the other party, and her eyes suddenly lit up, “Let’s go!” Sister, go home with my sister, please eat **** candy! “
The corner of Jiang Shuangling’s mouth twitched, “I don’t eat **** candy.”
When she arrived at Xue Li’s house, her mother was still at home, the sewing machine beeped in the house, and the two of them entered the door, greeted her mother Xue, and got up. Entered Xue Li’s small room.
Jiang Shuangling took out the three versions of the comic strip that she had drawn and showed it to Xue Li.
The basic aesthetics, especially the aesthetics of girls.
The lines are simple and beautiful.
Xue Li took these paintings in her hands, and she was immediately amazed, “Why so many ∧ 慊 enough of several kinds, I’m going to die, what should I do, what should I do…”
“What about what? Look, which one is your favorite?”
“This…” Xue Li was very embarrassed, “No way, I want to call you Sister Jiang, why do you draw so much, this is great, I like every kind of ah what
Jiang Shuangling was choked – let’s go, “Anyway, you have to pick something wrong.”
She is also the first time she has met such a careless Party A.
“How can I pick something wrong with such a beautiful painting.”
Jiang Shuangling: “You, the original author, always have to pick one out, and we’re going to submit it.”
Xue Li was extremely painful to pick out one of the three versions, her hair was torn off several times by her, and when she made a choice, she felt that her body was hollowed out, ” Sister Jiang, don’t draw so many pictures next time for me to choose.”
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
She has seen that Xue Li is a difficult choice.
“Then when will we send the manuscript.”
“Let’s go later, Sister Jiang, I’ve already bought the envelopes and stamps, and I’ve written the address…” Xue Li reluctantly placed the selected ones The comic strips are neatly stuffed into a special large envelope, and I dare not even fold them.
Xue Li also specially made up a note and a stamp. On the note, I hope that if the work is not adopted, I hope that there will be help to send it back.
“Even if it can’t be published, let’s take it back for collection.
Xue Li is very optimistic.
“You can see it.” Jiang Shuangling likes Xue Li’s temperament very much.
“Jiang Mei, can you give me the rest?”
Jiang Shuangling nodded: “Yes.”
For Jiang Shuangling, these things are not precious. If she likes, she can re-draw it.
“Excellent!
The two of them handled the envelope and went out to mail it out, “I’ll probably receive it in a few days. I believe there will be results soon.”
After submitting the article, Jiang Shuangling went home alone, and Xue Li also ran home excitedly.
After Xue Li ran home, she dug out a few pieces of cloth from her collection. No matter whether their work was selected by the pictorial, she planned to make it herself – a skirt for Jiang Shuangling, thank the other party for helping She had a dream come true.
“Mom, lend me a sewing machine for a few days. I’ll make clothes.”
Qi Heng has been gone for four days. It started to rain heavily that day. The sky was overcast, giving people a very depressed feeling of discomfort.
Jiang Shuangling couldn’t help adding more peppers to her daily meals.
In such weather, eating a little chili will make your body feel a little more comfortable.
Although Qi Heng is not at home very much on weekdays, and Qi Yue does not like to stick to him even at home, but Qi Heng has been away for several days, probably because of his father and son, this little guy misses Qi Heng very much, I want to be hugged by my dad.
Jiang Shuangling held him in her arms and comforted him—for a while, “I’ll be back in three or four days.”
Jiang Che hugged Jiang Shuangling’s legs, he also wanted to be hugged by his sister, “Sister, hug…”
Jiang Shuangling sighed, “I’m not like your brother-in-law, I can hug you two sturdy little guys with one breath.”
The rain fell on and off for two days before it cleared up. When the sun shines through the dark clouds, it seems that the haze in my heart has also been dispelled.
The sunny day after the rain made people feel extremely comfortable. Jiang Shuangling took the opportunity to turn out all the things in the house and let them dry in the yard. The two little guys were playing in the yard.
After drying the sheets, Jiang Shuangling looked at her vegetable field where she grew freely and unrestrainedly, and found that after a baptism of rain, her young plants had grown up.
The rabbits they raise also seem to be getting fat.
I don’t know if it’s Jiang Shuangling’s illusion.
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
The two little guys, Qi Yue and Jiang Che, love to feed rabbits. They insist on feeding rabbits every day. Feed green radish strips or green grass.
It’s like keeping them as pets.
Jiang Shuangling sprinkled rice on the side to feed the chickens and ducks. Seeing the stickiness of the two beside the rabbit box, she couldn’t help joking: “When the two rabbits grow up, Are you willing to eat?”
Qi Yue: “Of course rabbits are raised for food!”
Jiang Che: “Eat!”
Two children happily want to eat rabbits.
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
It turns out that you are conscientious and conscientious every day – feeding the rabbit every day, just thinking about eating its meat.
The two children had classes for a few days, and these two days were on vacation. Zhu Mingming and Niu Jiadong came to play with them, and also made an appointment to go to the fields to catch loach in the evening.
How can Jiang Shuangling rest assured that the children go to catch loach at night, of course, go with them.
There are many people who get up to catch loach at night, not only Zhu Mingming’s parents, but also a few cooking class and two female hygienists.
