Chapter 108 Moving
Eating is a very happy thing. After calming down the growling of her stomach, Bai Muling happily patted her belly through her clothes.
"Ah... It was delicious. Thank you for the treat. You two are really nice people."
Although he was given the nice guy card, Linzhou's focus at the moment was not on this at all. Was this woman the reincarnation of a starving ghost?
Three dishes and two large bowls of rice were prepared by her alone. After eating, she could even have some tomato egg drop soup to sip…
But it seemed impolite to ask directly, so Linzhou just held back.
Lin Susu, who was playing the harmonica nearby, suddenly looked up and said, "Sister Bai, have you been busy all day? You eat so much..."
"I can only eat grass now, because I just bought a mine and a paintbrush. Lapis lazuli is too expensive. The better ones cost more than 100 yuan per gram. There is not much left after the water splashes..."
Bai Muling rummaged in her bag for a long time, took out a small box and put it on the table.
Inside is a whole box of various mineral pigments. The colors are obviously carefully arranged and the quality is good.
Like cinnabar, ochre, gold powder, malachite, carmine, etc.
Anyway, they are all very expensive and cost a lot of money, and this small box is probably only enough to draw on an 8-fold paper.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiyue's eyes lit up. She also studied painting, so she naturally knew how much time it would take her to collect this small box of paint by herself.
This is no longer about money, so Jiang Xiyue rubbed his hands.
"Sister Bai, I want to ask, what do you use for white?"
"Clam powder. Before the Song Dynasty, chalk was used to make it. It was ground slowly by yourself. If you want to make it, you can buy a small steel mill for grinding medicinal herbs. Grinding it by hand is really a pain."
While complaining, Bai Muling stretched out her hand to show the calluses on her palm.
…
Linzhou, who was sitting next to her, listened to Bai Muring's explanation patiently. It turned out that the little girl liked this kind of thing, and asked if he should get a box for her as well.
But I always feel there is a creative conflict... Linzhou just gave me an ordinary camera as a New Year's gift.
He traveled around the countryside for a long time before he found an old film camera that was still usable. It was made by the Russians and can be used now as long as there is film.
You don’t have to give gifts during the Chinese New Year, but you have to show your love on Valentine’s Day on February 14th .
Leaning back in his chair, Linzhou began to think about what was to come.
The three girls were chattering there. After a while, Jiang Xiyue looked at her cell phone and then stood up.
"Zhou Zhou, you can check out now. The moving company is already downstairs."
"Okay, let's go." Lin Zhou stood up to pay the bill, helped Lin Susu and Xiaoxi tie their scarves and put on their hats, and the three of them took a taxi towards the community.
Linzhou also helped Bai Muling to call a taxi. After all, a girl who was just eating grass had no money to take a taxi.
After returning downstairs, Linzhou had a brief conversation with the moving company and then took the two girls upstairs.
Some things still need to be moved by yourself, such as bottle models that will lose parts if they are slightly bumped, or colored papers that will lose paint if they are slightly bumped.
Sitting there, Jiang Xiyue quietly watched Linzhou pack his things and put her hand under Linzhou's pillow.
Then she took out a very thin book, about ten pages long.
Looking at the cover of the book, Jiang Xiyue was stunned for a few seconds, then stuffed the book back under the pillow.
This is what otakus often talk about, right? It’s not for all ages…
This is totally unsound, and the name is weird, what is it... "I Got Reincarnated as a Witch, but Ended Up Being Lost in a Dungeon". The most important thing is that there are thoughtful labels below.
Words like full color, evil, etc. sound scary.
After sorting their plastic figures into their original packaging, Linzhou packed them all into boxes for the freezer.
The rest can be left to the moving company.
Jiang Xiyue, who was at a loss as to what to do with the little notebook, quickly stood up and walked to Linzhou's side.
"Congee, let me help you clean up."
"No need. The following things are not suitable for children to watch." Lin Zhou said as he put Jiang Xiyue back on the bed.
But Jiang Xiyue was not convinced and stood up again with her hands on her waist.
"I am an adult too, what can't I watch?"
Having said that, Jiang Xiyue unscrewed the hidden drawer in the display cabinet and took out a bunch of things inside.
Looking at the various small notebooks and various strange peripherals on the bed, the girl tried hard not to blush.
Although she occasionally draws some artistic pictures, it is still a bit shocking to see so many things at once.
…
All of this was within Linzhou's expectations. He stepped forward, pushed the girl aside , put the things into boxes according to categories, and then began to explain.
"This is for work, usually reviews, or gifts from some game manufacturers."
"Huh? Can this kind of thing be evaluated?" The girl tilted her head and watched Lin Zhou clean up with curiosity. She got used to it after seeing so many strange things.
Lin Zhou, who was sorting things into boxes, answered Jiang Xiyue's question casually.
"Of course, anything can be reviewed. This thing can help you clear minefields. For example, the human body proportions in this book are wrong, and the perspective is wrong, but it's good... It's okay..."
Holding his words back, Linzhou continued to clean up, and in the end only a silver-gray notebook was left on the bed.
It wasn’t a very thick notebook, but when Linzhou took it in his hand, he hesitated for a few seconds.
This thing... is it a memoir of a middle school veteran?
After a little thought, Linzhou put him into the box, the box for the passionate category.
However, Jiang Xiyue was filled with useless curiosity about the only normal notebook among the pile of things, so she immediately reached out and took it and opened it.
"At 14, I was like a flame, beating vigorously, looking forward to tomorrow. The world was so gloomy, the colors of light and shadow intertwined... indifferent, but full of warmth..."
After reading the first page, Jiang Xiyue continued to flip through the pages. The content at the back became more abstract, but the girl still read aloud.
"Did you hear that? This is the wailing from hell, the holy sound from heaven. No matter whether it is angels or demons, they are not allowed to encroach on the peace of mortals..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Susu poked her head in from outside the door, holding a bottle of yogurt in her hand.
"Brother, did you take that out again?"
"go out!"
When he saw his sister, Linzhou gave her a look that told her to get lost.
A girl like Jiang Xiyue would definitely not laugh at him, but his own sister would definitely do so, because they are his biological sister.
After flipping through a few pages, the girl looked up at Linzhou who was sealing the box with tape.
"Zhou Zhou ...you are so cute...let mommy hug you..."
Putting the tape aside, Linzhou blushed, stood up and stretched out his hand...
"You might as well laugh at me and come back at me."
But the girl held the notebook in her arms with a determined look in her eyes.
"No, I collected it. It's more valuable than the camera you gave me..."
