But after only one year of studying in town, Xiao Lei's handwriting is already quite good.
At least now it's better than what he and his older brother wrote.
Lu Qian turned to Zhou Tao and asked, "Does Xiao Tao practice calligraphy often?"
Zhou Tao nodded, "I practiced. My master is very strict. Besides making us learn the piano, she would make us practice calligraphy during breaks. She would judge the best and worst calligraphy and give us special guidance."
As for how she received special guidance, she was too embarrassed to say. Anyway, her teacher always had various ways to motivate them to practice the piano diligently.
However, thinking of her master, Zhou Tao silently lowered her eyes. Madam Qi would only teach them until the end of the year, and after the New Year, she would go out to travel in the first month of the lunar calendar.
She said she suddenly realized that it would be good to go on a trip instead of punishing herself for other people's mistakes, which is why she hasn't been able to get over it for so many years.
What truly helped her understand the meaning of life was meeting Li Mai.
She said she also wanted to go to Beijing to see Nanling.
Li Mai said softly, "Tomorrow morning, why don't you take Qin'er to wish your master a Happy New Year? She didn't say which day she'd be leaving."
"Probably around the third or fourth year of junior high!" Zhou Tao said softly.
“Okay, then tomorrow your elder brother and sister-in-law will go with you to pay New Year’s greetings,” Li Mai said softly.
"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law!" Zhou Tao replied.
Lu Qian then said, "I'll go too. You wait for me to come find you."
Zhou Quan glanced at him, nodded, and did not refuse him.
Lu Qian was happy and continued eating with his head down.
The Zhou family is large, and for their New Year's Eve reunion dinner, they eat at a large table. Zhou Lin made this large reunion table himself, the kind that can seat fifteen or sixteen people.
The key thing is that Lu Qian really liked this table. There was a smaller tabletop on top of the large tabletop, and the smaller tabletop could be rotated. The dishes were placed on that tabletop, and whoever wanted to eat a particular dish could simply rotate the smaller tabletop.
Their soup bowls, small plates, rice bowls, chopsticks, and spoons were all placed on the large table below in front of them.
Lu Qian thought this table was incredibly useful. He made up his mind to cultivate a good relationship with Zhou Lin and try to get him to make a table like this for their household as well.
It doesn't need to be too big, just big enough to seat about ten people.
Li Mai saw Lu Qian staring at the table studying for a while and smiled faintly.
When he bought the Zhou family mansion, he showed Zhou Lin the principles and blueprints of this table, intending to make such a large table for the whole family to eat together.
When there are many family members, it's lively to eat together.
