Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

He Yuzhu didn't make the call after all.

He is not a nanny, so it’s okay to let Xu Damao try.

Everyone thinks they can do it, and perhaps if they take that step, they can really do it.

Or, it is very likely that you will see the Yellow River and your heart will die.

"Dad, can I come in?" He Yuan's voice came from outside. Even though the study door was open, the little girl still knocked on the door and asked.

There are many social etiquettes that children don’t learn all of a sudden, but are the result of adults teaching them subtly in their daily lives.

“Okay, come in.

This is a good habit. From now on, no matter whose door you enter, you must knock and ask. " He Yuzhu said with a smile, and gave another reminder.

He Yuan covered her mouth and chuckled. This was a joke that both father and daughter understood.

That is, He Yuan rashly broke into her parents' master bedroom, and saw her mother hugging He Yuzhu and acting coquettishly.

That time, Liu Ting criticized He Yuan severely.

It's not really He Yuan's fault. If she went somewhere else, the little girl would naturally know to knock on the door.

But in her own home, who would have thought that during the day, her mother still had a side of a little girl?
Besides, He Yuzhu and his wife never had the habit of knocking on the door when they entered the children's room.

It's normal to have such things happen as taught by example.

"Dad, do you still want me to help you draw today?" He Yuan asked, holding the sketchbook.

During the time that He Yuan was on sick leave, she was not only busy with housework.

In addition to reading, she also picked up the painting thing she had done in the past two years.

But this time, the little girl just drew pencil drawings, sketches, and comics.

From the Republic of China to the present day, our comics industry has actually always been good.

Many people have used humorous styles to reflect the darkness before liberation.

Everyone must be familiar with Sanmao's Wanderings, as well as many other excellent works such as "Spring and Autumn in the Kingdom of Cats" and "Mr. Wang" that either reflect reality or ridicule life.

There was also the famous Mr. Master in Hong Kong later on. It is strange that a Mr. Pengdi here painted Old Master Q and Old Sweet Potato in the 1940s.

The key point is that the one from Hong Kong Island never admitted it.

Of course, these are just idle talk, just to introduce that given He Yuzhu's family conditions, the He family has never lacked children's books such as comics and cartoons.

The reason why He Yuan originally studied Chinese painting but now loves to draw comics is nothing else but that the little girl has to be proud. When she was young, she thought she was a good painter, but when she was a little more mature, she found that her Chinese painting skills were not even good enough.

He Yuzhu had also tried to find a teacher for her.

But these days, those who know Chinese painting are not very willing to work in this industry.

They are afraid that the young people will say that they are shabby.

Faced with other people's rejection and embarrassment, He Yuzhu couldn't force it and could only let the matter go for the time being.

But the little girl still likes painting. Since she can't paint Chinese paintings, she just paints sketches.

Some time ago, she actually made some money from her pencil drawings.

A swindler asked her to draw ten pencil drawings and then gave her five dollars.

Of course, the victim can only be He Yuzhu.

That is, some time ago, He Yuzhu drew a concept map of the plumber for Hong Kong Island. Character image and function are not so intuitive through text description.

So He Yuzhu drew a rough sketch, and then caught up with little girl He Yuan and asked her to draw ten paintings for the "sky-high price" of 50 cents per painting.

This also made He Yuan taste the sweetness, although the little girl had a lot of private money.

But that five dollars was earned through her labor, which is a completely different concept.

He Yuzhu looked at his girl's eager look and knew it clearly that this was the time when his girl was at her most ambitious.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Dad will give you a topic and direction, how about you figure out how to fill in the content yourself?
If you can draw well, Dad will contact someone to help you publish it."

"Really?" He Yuan was hesitant not because of the topic He Yuzhu gave her, nor because of whether her painting was good or not, but because she doubted whether He Yuzhu had the ability to introduce a publishing house to her.

Although the little girl has always believed that her father is very powerful, he doesn’t seem to have any connection with the cultural world.

He Yuzhu didn't waste any words, but picked up the pencil in the little girl's hand and drew a cartoon pig.

With a round body and short limbs, He Yuzhu was able to depict the image's simplicity, honesty and cuteness with just a few strokes.

If friends in later generations see this pig, they will probably recognize at first glance that it is called McDull.

This is not something too weird, it is very easy to remember.

He Yuzhu has never watched any cartoons or movies, but he has read the comics. Needless to say, they are definitely pirated.

Throughout the 1990s, if something from Hong Kong Island was even slightly famous, you would definitely see it in New York.

This kind of product can be found in various calligraphy and painting newsstands on the street and in places like stations.

Although He Yuzhu doesn't have that much childishness, the children in the alley do.

For example, after He Yuzhu retired, when he occasionally played chess with others in the park, he would also meet chess friends who were bringing their grandchildren.

He Yuzhu always took a look at what the children had in their hands.

Of course, when He Yuzhu was thinking about where he had seen these things, he subconsciously avoided the children from Banggeng and Xiaodang's sisters.

This kind of memories are sometimes very disgusting. Every time He Yuzhu thinks about his past life, he wants to slap himself twice.

If he had woken up earlier in his previous life, even if he could not achieve as much as he did in this life, it would not be such a luxury to start a family, have two lovely children like He Yuan, and live happily together as a family.

He Yuzhu held the piglet and said to He Yuan with a smile: "This piglet is called Yuanyuan. You can describe all the interesting things that happened in your childhood in the form of comics.

Dad is a big pig, mom is a big pig, and the others are all cute pigs..."

He Yuan's eyes really lit up at this moment.

He Yuzhu did not ask He Yuan to draw according to the original work, and the key point was that he had not read it either.

He had heard from other people's grandchildren that this cartoon describes the daily life of a little pig named McDull.

It is impossible to ask He Yuan to paint with Hong Kong style. She has never been there, so how can she understand the various customs and language habits there?

Besides, He Yuzhu didn’t have any utilitarian motives, he just wanted to find something fun for his daughter.

"The key is to be funny, just like if Seungri wants to lose weight, you tell him how braised pork is made and how delicious it is. That's quite funny and everyone will definitely like it." He Yuzhu still nodded a few words, which was quite in line with his girl's personality.

He Yuan is the type of person who looks gentle, but is actually a little clever and likes to play tricks on people.

"Oh, Daddy, I like you so much, you are so kind." The little girl was so excited that she hugged He Yuzhu's neck and danced and laughed. She really found something that could keep her entertained for a long time. (End of this chapter)
