Li Xia saw Teacher Qi's reaction clearly. She felt it was very strange. She said she had only seen the camera, so why was he so excited?
Moreover, as a person who has been drawing since elementary school, he actually took the initiative to say that paintings cannot compare with cameras. If it were her, she would probably not like others comparing photos and paintings. They are originally different ways of recording, so why compare them?
If Li Xia hadn't known that Teacher Qi was an artist, she would have thought he was a photography enthusiast.
"I've taken photos at a photo studio in the city, but the cameras there are different from the ones you drew. They're bigger and heavier," said Li Xia.
"Yes, there is a camera in the photo studio. Comrade Li, you are so beautiful, you should take more photos to record it. If you like, I can also draw a few portraits for you." Teacher Qi said.
Li Xia smiled and shook her head to refuse: "No, I'm not used to being drawn, and I'm very busy at work, so I don't have much time."
After a few more words, Teacher Qi left first, saying that he had to visit other students' homes.
From the time she came in to the time she left, Teacher Qi never talked to Li Xia about whether she supported letting her child learn to paint, or whether her child had a talent for painting.
"I just feel it's weird, or maybe I'm overthinking it." Li Xia said to Gu Weicheng who was cutting and preparing vegetables while waving the spatula.
"It's a good thing to be vigilant. Our troops are close to the border, and there are many enemy spies. And I also feel that there is something wrong with the things you mentioned. When I go to the regiment tomorrow, I will check the background of Teacher Qi." Gu Weicheng said.
He saw a clump of hair falling from Li Xia's forehead, and reached out to help her tuck the hair behind her ear.
"Wife, I find you look particularly beautiful like this."
Actually, Li Xia’s hair was a little oily, so she planned to wash it at night, and now she just tied it into a bun.
"What's the matter? Am I not good-looking the way I usually am?" Li Xia curled her lips.
Gu Weicheng hugged her from behind and said in a deep voice, "They look good too. They all look good."
"Okay, my son will see it when he comes in later." Gu Weicheng hugged Li Xia's waist and gently pushed his wrist with her hand.
Gu Weicheng reluctantly let go and reminded her in her ear: "Wife, tonight...you will have your period again in two days."
Tsk, this guy remembers her menstrual period better than she does!
But now she is enjoying it very much. Gu Weicheng's skills are improving rapidly, and he cares a lot about her feelings.
There is harmony between them.
An An hasn't yet separated her bed from them, so carrying her around all the time is not a good idea.
Li Xia also felt that it was time to let An An try sleeping alone.
…
The next day, Li Xia learned from Mrs. Tao that Ma Aidang was also selected to participate in the painting competition.
"I don't know what teacher Qi saw in him, that he was chosen even though his paintings were so ugly. I thought at first that this teacher's level must not be very high, but I didn't expect that when I saw his paintings yesterday, they were really good."
"The Ai Party was also elected?"
Li Xia frowned, pulled Sister Tao and asked, "Sister-in-law, what did Teacher Qi say to you yesterday?"
"Did he tell me anything? He didn't say anything. He just told me about the paintings he drew, and that the children should follow him in drawing every day. He also said that photos are more real than paintings, and asked me if I had ever taken a photo." said Mrs. Tao.
Li Xia asked: "Did he also ask you if you have ever seen a camera?"
"Are you asking me if I've ever seen a camera?" Mrs. Tao was stunned for a moment and shook her head. "No, but he did take out a painting and asked Ai Dang to copy it."
"Copy?" Li Xia asked.
"Yes, yes! It's just copying!" Mrs. Tao nodded. This word is too professional. How could she remember it? Li Xia knows more.
"What did you copy? Can I see it?" Li Xia asked.
"Sure, of course. I'll get it for you right away." Mrs. Tao went home and got the painting, saying,
"Look, this is just a bunch of idiots, but Teacher Qi still said that Ai Dang has talent. I don't know what he was thinking. Did he think his level was too high, so he wanted to find a few students with poor foundations to teach him so that he could show off his level?"
Li Xia originally thought that Mrs. Tao was exaggerating and it would not be as she said. However, after taking a look at the drawing, she found that the painting was indeed very abstract. No wonder Mrs. Tao would have such an idea.
She looked at it more carefully and found that although the painting was abstract, it was not difficult to see that it was a painting of a camera.
Thinking of this possibility, Li Xia's heart became heavier.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? Is it because the painting is too ugly and it hurts you?" Mrs. Tao couldn't help asking when she saw Li Xia's serious expression.
Li Xia came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head, saying: "No, no, I just remembered that I have something to do. Sister-in-law, I have to go out for a while, so I won't say more to you for now."
"Okay, then go and do what you want." Mrs. Tao waved her hand.
In the afternoon, Li Xia was still worried and went to the group to find Gu Weicheng.
This was her first time to come to the regiment. All the soldiers under Gu Weicheng knew that Captain Gu’s family had brought their children to the army.
Later on, their team leader's mood visibly improved every day.
Everyone has also heard that this sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but also a good cook and writer!
In the past, everyone sympathized with Captain Gu because he married a wife but refused to join the army for several years, and lived a hard life as a bachelor after getting married. Now, everyone envies Captain Gu for marrying such a beautiful and capable wife!
But no matter what you hear, it is not as true as what you see with your own eyes.
Gu Weicheng was training the soldiers on the training ground when he suddenly noticed that everyone was looking in one direction.
Who is this lesbian walking towards them? She is so pretty, isn't she? She looks like a movie star!
I couldn't see the person's appearance clearly from a distance, but I could tell from his figure that he had a good temperament and good looks.
Gu Weicheng looked over there and found that it was Li Xia who came.
These stinky boys...
So he was not concentrating on his practice and was secretly looking at his wife, right?
"Everyone, look left, turn right, and run around the playground fifty laps. Not one lap less!" Gu Weicheng gave them extra practice.
"Don't, Captain..."
"Captain, we were wrong. We will never peek at female comrades again!"
"What female comrade? She is my sister-in-law, a member of our Gu Tuan's family!"
"That's my sister-in-law. She's so pretty, even prettier than the female celebrities on the calendars!"
Before, I was not convinced and said that Captain Gu’s family members were just average-looking people at best, but now I am completely convinced.
"Fifty-five laps!" Gu Weicheng directly added five laps.
This time these people didn't dare to say anything more. They kept their mouths shut and kept running, for fear that if they said one more word, they would be beaten to sixty laps.
"Wife, why are you here? What happened?" Gu Weicheng walked to Li Xia and asked with concern.
Li Xia usually wouldn't come to the group to find him unless there was nothing wrong. If she made a special trip here, she must have encountered some trouble.
"It's still about yesterday's incident, Weicheng, how's your investigation going? I always feel that this Teacher Qi is not simple." Li Xia frowned slightly, his tone worried.
He also told Gu Weicheng about what Teacher Qi had said to Mrs. Tao about the camera: "I think the camera may be a breakthrough. Why does he always mention the camera? What does the camera represent?"
"I have sent people to investigate. Teacher Qi's full name is Qi Jingxuan. His ancestors are from Huizhou. His grandfather is a well-known painter. The principal's father is an old friend of his grandfather. After something happened in his family, the school specially recruited him to be an art teacher." Gu Weicheng said.
If he took the initiative to find a way to come to the government primary school, it might be for a purpose, but it was the principal who specially recruited him.
"There is nothing suspicious about his identity at the moment. But your worry is not without reason. I have already sent someone to keep an eye on him in secret and reported the matter to the leader. But we cannot arrest him until we find enough evidence."
There is nothing suspicious about the identity...
Am I thinking too much?
