When Aunt Li came to pick him up, the little boy was already asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed) after playing for a long time.

Children tend to get sleepy after eating, so Aunt Li carried them home.

After everyone left, Lin Cuihua locked the door and then took away the kang table that had been on the table.

Lin Xue explained to Lin Cuihua what she had discussed with the old village chief during the day.

After all, she would likely be traveling around the village soon, and it was impossible to keep this a secret from Lin Cuihua.

Lin Cuihua went from being shocked at first to being worried at the end.

No matter what the old village chief said to his superiors, she was worried that Lin Xue's old illness would relapse because her daughter was in poor health.

It took a lot of comforting from Lin Xue before Lin Cuihua finally agreed to let her paint murals on the wall.

From beginning to end, Lin Cuihua never doubted whether Lin Xue was capable of drawing well.

They were all worried about her health.

Day 2,

Lin Cuihua doesn't need to go to work. She'll have to wait for the foreman to notify her when she can go.

Around 8 a.m., the old village chief arrived at the Lin family's house with the paints Lin Xue needed.

He was accompanied by a young girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.

After talking to her, Lin Xue learned that the little girl was the village chief's youngest daughter.

The original plan was to send a boy to help Lin Xue with the moving and lifting work.

But considering that Lin Xue was a young girl and in poor health, he worried that the gossip in the village would hurt her.

So she specially sent her youngest daughter over, so that if she needed help, she could call on all the necessary people.

Lin Xue asked Li Xiujuan to open all the paint lids, then found a broken bucket and started mixing colors again.

She poured the herbal decoction that her mother had brewed early that morning into the paint.

After stirring, it was divided into smaller portions.

Prepare only the amount you need; this stuff will solidify if left out for too long.

After finishing their meal, Li Xiujuan and Lin Cuihua helped carry the things to the first wall selected by the village chief.

This is the first house in Qingshan Village closest to the main road.

The side wall of his house faces the main road, and the village chief said that he would paint an educational picture here.

When the leaders see it, they will immediately be struck by the cultural atmosphere of their village.

Lin Xue didn't know who the old village chief had consulted with, but the wording was quite unique.

Before the painting begins.

Lin Xue asked her mother and Li Xiujuan for help to paint all of one of the paints on the squares she had drawn on the wall.

Apply the paint thoroughly, leaving no gaps untouched.

She then took out her specially made paint palette and poured various paints onto it.

"Xiujuan, we've finished here. Go find a table. I'll stand on it to paint later!"

Lin Xue knew she wasn't feeling well and was worried that she would feel dizzy and fall, so she didn't step on the ladder.

"Alright, Xiaoxue, you and Aunt Lin wait a moment, I'll go and have my older brother bring over the long table from home."

Because of the cool weather, everyone who had work to do in the fields went to work early in the morning.

Only those who have nothing to do would come to see Lin Xue paint.

They were all very curious: when did Lin, who rarely left his house, learn to draw?

Even though their daughter and son went to school for a few years, they never dared to say that their drawings were particularly good.

Li Xiujuan and her men carried over two tables, and Lin Xue stood on them with their help.

She first sketched out a framework, leaving the surrounding people completely bewildered.

What is this drawing?

But as the paint slowly spread across the blue background of the drawing, the image of a serious-looking little soldier carrying a flag came into view.

This really broadened the horizons of the surrounding people.

No wonder they dared to take this job; they must have real skills.

At this moment, those who had been whispering sarcastic remarks about Lin Xuefeng also consciously shut their mouths.

The wind direction changed quickly.

From initial skepticism and distrust to later shock and admiration.

Ordinary people can't tell if a painting is good or bad, but they know if it looks good or not.

Following the appearance of that young soldier, a group of male and female students, along with farmers wearing headscarves, saluted towards the village entrance.

They either wore bright red scarves around their necks or had towels draped over their shoulders to wipe their sweat!

Their eyes were bright and their spirits were high.

In the empty space at the top left, eight large, bright red characters were written.

I love my motherland, may it prosper and become strong.

Although the content of the painting was different from what the old village chief had initially imagined, the final result was even better than he had expected.

If a higher-ups came and saw this painting, would they dare say it was bad?

The soldiers represent revolutionary martyrs, while the primary school students represent the future of the motherland.

Farmers represent the positive image of the vast rural areas!

The combination of these three elements is enough to spark the imagination.

100 people can give you 100 different explanations.

Lin Xue painted this picture in two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

She deliberately didn't finish drawing it all, and instead added some more on the morning of the second day.

As she drank more and more of the spiritual spring water, her health improved.

Aside from needing to heat the kang (a traditional heated bed) to fall asleep at night, it doesn't feel that cold during the day.

After inspecting Lin Xue's first painting, the old village chief was extremely impressed with her.

That little girl has never been to school, yet she manages to learn cultural knowledge by watching TV.

He came up with such a great topic just by watching the news broadcast.
