Lu Qing also joined in with great interest.

Shen Qiqi took out a few large sheets of drawing paper and spread them on the ground, then distributed paints and brushes to everyone.

"Draw whatever you want!" Shen Qiqi encouraged everyone, "Don't worry about whether the painting is good or not, what's important is the process!"

Old Mrs. Lu held the paintbrush, hesitated for a long time, and finally carefully put a small dot on the paper.

"Mom, what are you drawing?" Shen Qiqi approached curiously.

"Sesame!" the old lady answered seriously, with a hint of pride in her tone.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were both amused by the old lady's innocence.

"Good, good, sesame! This sesame is really round!" Shen Qiqi praised while picking up her paintbrush and drawing a fried dough stick next to the old lady's "sesame".

"Mom, look, there are fried dough sticks next to the sesame seeds now. We can eat them for breakfast!"

The old lady looked at the "sesame seeds" and "dough sticks" in the painting and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Brother Qing, come and draw something too!" Shen Qiqi turned to look at Lu Qing.

Lu Qing picked up the paintbrush and drew a...piglet on the paper.

"What is this?" Shen Qiqi looked confused.

"A pig!" Lu Qing answered confidently, "As cute as our stone!"

When Shitou heard his father praising him, he clapped his hands happily.

"Then I want to paint too!" Shitou snatched his father's paintbrush and started scribbling on the paper.

"Son, what are you drawing?" Shen Qiqi asked curiously.

"This is..." Shitou tilted his head and thought seriously, "This is... Ultraman fighting monsters!"

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at the "Ultraman" drawn by Shi Tou. Although it was just a few messy lines, it was full of childishness and imagination.

"Son, you draw so well!" Lu Qing touched Shitou's head and encouraged him.

"Really?" Shi Tou asked excitedly.

"Of course it's true!" Shen Qiqi also echoed, "Shi Tou, you might become a great painter in the future!"

When Shitou heard Shen Qiqi's praise, he became even more proud. He picked up the paintbrush and continued to "create" on the paper...

"Hey, Shitou, what is that you drew..."

Shi Tou waved the paintbrush in his hand, like a young general commanding thousands of troops, painting on the drawing paper with great vigor.

"Beep, beep, beep!" He made onomatopeia words with his mouth, and his hands kept moving. Every stroke was full of power, as if he was really fighting a monster.

The "monsters" he drew had strange shapes, like a tangled mess of yarn or a blooming morning glory, making them incomprehensible.

"Shi Tou, the monster you drew is quite abstract." Shen Qiqi suppressed her laughter and commented seriously.

"Abstract? What is abstract?" Shitou stopped what he was doing and looked at Shen Qiqi with a puzzled look.

"Abstract is..." Shen Qiqi was speechless for a moment. She couldn't explain to a child what abstract art was, right?

"Abstract means...very powerful!"

"Oh! I'm awesome!" Stone nodded, seemingly understanding, and began waving his paintbrush again. "Beep, beep, beep! Monster, take this!"

Seeing how enthusiastically Shi Tou was painting, Old Lady Lu also became interested. She picked up the paintbrush and added a few strokes next to the "monster" on the stone.

"Mom, what are you drawing?" Shen Qiqi asked curiously.

"This is...Ultraman's weapon!" the old lady answered seriously.

"Oh! It turns out to be a weapon!" Shen Qiqi suddenly realized. Looking at the several squiggly lines drawn by the old lady, they looked like earthworms no matter how you looked at them.

Lu Qing watched the mother and daughter's "masterpiece" and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Your paintings are truly... unique!"

"Unique? What does that mean?" Shitou started asking questions again.

"It means... something very special!" Lu Qing explained with a smile.

"Oh! I'm special!" Shitou became even more proud, his little face flushed red like a ripe apple.

The room was filled with laughter and joy. The seeds of art had quietly taken root and sprouted in everyone's heart without them noticing.

Shen Qiqi looked at everything in front of her, her heart filled with relief.

She knew that this was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go in the future, but as long as their family worked together, they would be able to create their own artistic world.

Shen Qiqi stood up, walked to the corner, and picked up the paints, brushes, and carving tools she had bought earlier...

His eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Looks like I need to think about how to make more art supplies..."
