Following Jiang Si's voice, everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties.
The man's eyebrows are sparse, with a slight break at the tail of his right eyebrow.
The eyes are long and narrow, with deep-set eye sockets, thick and droopy eyelids, a lot of white in the eyes, and epicanthal folds.
The bridge of the nose is slightly raised in the middle, and the tip of the nose curves downward, which is a very typical hump nose.
Thin lips, short and flat chin.
The jawline is clear and distinct, and the masseter muscles are well-developed.
Although Jiang Si didn't have many facial details, everyone recognized her at a glance.
This man was Yang Zhiqi, the lover of Huo's cousin.
The most shocked person at this moment was none other than Huo's mother, because her daughter-in-law had never had any dealings with the Yang family before.
Our only interaction was last night.
But they didn't even exchange a glance.
If Mrs. Huo remembered correctly, when they heard the military truck horn, Yang Zhiqi only tilted his head slightly.
The whole process took no more than three seconds!
In other words, the daughter-in-law drew the other person's face in less than three seconds, after only seeing a side profile!
If it had just been a simple drawing of her face, Huo's mother might not have been so shocked.
Actually, it wasn't just Huo's mother; when the others saw the person in the painting, their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as they looked at Jiang Si.
Seeing that they remained silent for a long time, Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat.
No way, did she embarrass her alma mater?
But thinking about it, it shouldn't be like that, after all, she has studied figure drawing for so many years.
In addition, during her university years, she also minored in other courses such as "Human Anatomy and Dynamic Sketching", "Facial Growth Trajectory Prediction", and "Artistic Human Anatomy".
For those who have already seen the profile of their partner up close, it is actually quite easy to reconstruct their other half's facial features.
But there are always exceptions. Jiang Si asked, "Is it because the painting doesn't look like the real thing?"
Everyone quickly shook their heads: "No, no, no, your drawing is very accurate. This person is your cousin-in-law, Yang Zhiqi."
Jiang Si still didn't quite understand.
If they look alike, why do they have this expression?
Finally, Huo's mother gave the answer: "Your cousin-in-law had an accident a few years ago, and his right cheek was injured, leaving a large scar, so he has rarely seen outsiders in recent years."
"We were quite startled when we saw this portrait just now."
"To be honest, if you hadn't drawn his portrait, we would have almost forgotten what he looked like before."
There was just one thing she couldn't understand: "Sisi, why did you suddenly decide to draw him?"
Mrs. Huo wasn't stupid. If her daughter-in-law really wanted to paint, when couldn't she paint?
Why lock yourself in your room for a whole day without eating or drinking?
Besides, with so many people in her family who can be her models, why would she need to draw someone she's never even met?
Jiang Si wasn't in a hurry to explain, after all, Huo Tingtao's appearance resembled that of his cousin, and his cousin and Huo's father were about 40-50% similar.
No one who saw this would think he wasn't a child of the Huo family.
Furthermore, paternity testing didn't exist in this era, so Jiang Si's claim that he wasn't a child of the Huo family was indeed untenable.
Jiang Si took out the second portrait directly. Before the start of the Cultural Revolution, she had been studying at Shanghai No. 3 Girls' Middle School.
This school was formed by the merger of McTyeire School for Girls and St. Mary's School for Girls, and it is one of the best and oldest prestigious schools in Shanghai.
The teachers who taught her to paint were all well-known painters both at home and abroad.
If universities hadn't stopped admitting students, Jiang Si would probably be pursuing further studies at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, just like in the world outside the book.
"Mom and Dad, yesterday I heard from Grandpa and Grandma that my cousin's family had three daughters. This is my prediction of what the girls will look like, based on their facial features and the basic principles of genetics. Take a look."
Everyone in the Huo family knows that Jiang Si has been drawing since elementary school.
I only knew she was very talented in drawing before, but I never expected that she could predict what her child would look like based on his or her parents' appearance.
Everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued.
Fearing it would damage her daughter-in-law's confidence, Huo's mother gave everyone a meaningful look.
When you see the portrait later, no matter how much it resembles the likeness, just praise it!
But when they saw the portrait Jiang Si handed them, they fell silent instantly.
"This...doesn't this look a bit like Chunlan, the second daughter of Lihua's family?"
"It's not just a little bit, it's very similar. I remember Chunlan looked like this when she was thirteen or fourteen years old."
Before he could even utter a word of praise, Jiang Si handed him a third portrait.
Although theoretically the maximum age that can be predicted is around 25 years old.
However, considering the accuracy of the reconstruction, Jiang Si ultimately set the predicted appearance at the golden age of 10 to 15 years old.
During this period, most people's brow bones have fully formed.
All the permanent teeth have erupted.
The entire mandible is now basically formed.
"Mom and Dad, this is what I predicted based on your appearances."
Perhaps because she often looked at Huo Tingzhou's face, she painted this portrait very quickly, taking less than an hour from composition to finishing.
Of course, the result is just as good.
Grandma Huo was instantly excited after just one glance.
"It looks just like it, it really does!"
"Old man, take a look! Doesn't this look exactly like the fourth son when he was a kid?"
The old man nodded; this one does indeed resemble the fourth son.
