After seeing off the two police officers, the captain did not leave.
"Hey, Jiang Li, when did you become so good at drawing? I've never seen you learn before!"
"I just paint casually when I have nothing to do. I haven't learned anything professionally. I just paint at an amateur level."
She started studying art at the age of five and continued until her second year of high school.
Originally, I could have been admitted to university with my fine arts major, but my family suddenly encountered a misfortune and could not afford the high tuition fees of an art school. Later, when I applied for the exam, I chose the English major, which is more convenient for girls to find jobs.
Although I missed the opportunity to go to a 985 university, after four years of hard work, my English level reached the professional level 8 in a first-class university.
"Since you draw so well, I want to ask you for a favor."
The generous captain hesitated when speaking for the first time, and only spoke with difficulty under Jiang Li's encouraging and inquiring eyes.
"My old lady is dying. She refused to have her picture taken at the photo studio in town. If possible, I'd like you to paint a portrait of her. It would be best if she looks spirited, so we can remember her when we see her in the future."
Jiang Li was about to give birth, and she shouldn't go to see a dying person at this time. In their village, this was an unlucky thing, and most people would not agree. However, Jiang Li agreed without hesitation.
"Uncle, I thought it was a small matter. When do you want the painting? I can come right away!"
"I'll buy the drawing board and white paper this afternoon, and then I'll trouble you tomorrow."
The captain, being old, rarely lost control of his emotions. He patted Jiang Li on the back twice.
Although this girl made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, she is still quite capable. It's just a pity that she ruined herself! Oh!
"Huh? Why were the police so happy when they left?"
"Did you see that? They had smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be holding a piece of paper in their hands. Yes, yes, they were smiling while looking at that piece of paper. What was written on that piece of paper?"
"Did Jiang Li commit any crime? It can't be a good thing for the police to come looking for her, right?"
Everyone was still guessing when the captain came out and immediately started to drive them away.
"Go, go, go, go, go, stop crowding here to join in the fun. Don't you have to work in the fields? Don't you have to do the housework at home? Don't you have to take care of the children?"
As soon as the captain spoke, the villagers who had been watching the excitement immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Peace returned to Jiang Li's doorstep, but Jiangjia Village was not at peace...
