Modern Couples' Life in Women's Society

Chapter 111 Gifts

"Yes, thank you for your father's praise. If you don't mind, I will draw more for you." Xiao Tong immediately agreed when she heard that others liked her paintings. It made Mo Li, who was watching beside her, laugh endlessly.

"If you don't dislike it, how can you dislike it..." Mo Yang and Mo Hua said at the same time, Xiao Tong's paintings are quite creative, which always surprises people, and it's normal for them to like them.Of course, if you are a modern person, you will not feel creative, because it is very common. Xiao Tong is only good at tracing. She is diligent and patient. Since she went to college, she has been practicing tracing continuously. I can't remember exactly, but in the end Xiao Tong's painter was really passable.It's not about being creative, it's just that the ability to describe realistically has been practiced.

"Okay, then I'll draw some more for you." Xiao Tong responded with a smile, and habitually looked at Mo Li, and saw that he was looking at him with smiling eyes, and he could not help laughing.Xiao Tong asked with his eyes, 'what's the matter? '

Mo Li shook his head lightly and did not answer, making Xiao Tong confused, but because it was not the time to ask, he gave up asking.Mo Siqing and his wife next to them watched the interaction between the two, and looked at each other in a tacit understanding.

"After seeing my husband's gift, I'm starting to look forward to what's inside." Mo Siqing pointed to the long box at hand, and deduced according to common sense that it should be calligraphy and painting. He likes calligraphy and painting and knows many people. Xiao Tong It's normal to prepare according to this.

"My lord said that my mother likes calligraphy and painting, but she has a rich collection. I'm afraid that ordinary calligraphy and painting won't catch my eye. I thought about finding a good sentence and writing it for my mother. However, because my calligraphy is really bad, Teacher Shi can't read it. I wrote it, and I hope my mother likes it." Xiao Tong still had confidence in Shi Lao's handwriting, and he answered with confidence.

"Then let's see what good sentence you found." Mo Siqing nodded after listening, opened the box, took out the calligraphy and painting, and Mo Li stepped forward to take the calligraphy and painting and unfold them.

"Worry about the world's worries first, and then enjoy the world's joy!" Mo Siqing read aloud, and then the room fell silent. After a while, Mo Siqing took the calligraphy and painting from Mo Li's hand.

"Good sentence, good sentence! It just makes me feel a little ashamed. I have been an official for more than [-] years. Although I have never been ashamed of the people or the ancestors of the Mo family, I have never done 'worry about the world first and worry about the future. The world is full of joy!'Ah!" Mo Siqing sighed, with two emotions of pride and shame appearing repeatedly on his face, he gently placed the calligraphy and painting on the table, reluctant to take his eyes off it.

"Why would my mother think this way? It is because she thinks that her mother is suitable for this calligraphy and painting, so she found it and gave it to her mother. After more than [-] years of being an official in a complex and changeable officialdom, she can say 'I have never been ashamed of the people, I am ashamed of The ancestors of the Mo family, how many people can there be? According to my opinion, my mother deserves to accept this sentence, and it is a matter of course." When Xiao Tong thought hard about this sentence, he also inquired about it many times. After confirming that this sentence can be used on Mo Siqing, I decided to give it to her.

"Thank you very much, thank you for your calligraphy and painting, and thank you for your enlightening words. Even if I am ashamed of accepting it today, I will definitely not be ashamed of this sentence in my lifetime." Mo Siqing shifted his gaze to Xiao Tong after Xiao Tong answered. After hearing her words, his eyes flickered and his expression was complicated, but in the end he gave such an answer with a smile.

Because of the smile on Mo Siqing's serious face, he looked so friendly and easy-going, and finally added another sentence with a relaxed expression. "I'm fifty-four this year, but my body is still in good health. I think it will be no problem to work hard for another ten or eight years. If I retire now and return to my hometown, I'm sorry for the calligraphy and paintings my wife gave me?"

"..." Xiao Tong was a little dazed, son and wife?mean her?
"Mother is talking to you, why are you in a daze?" Mo Hua patted Xiao Tong's shoulder and said.

"I don't care about her, I'll appreciate the calligraphy and painting again." Mo Siqing shook his head while watching, smiled and continued to look at the calligraphy and painting, appreciating every word carefully.
"This character is really good. Such a majestic character was originally created by Shi Gong. Everyone loves to learn it. Well, it is well written!" Mo Siqing looked at the seal below after speaking, wanting to see if Who wrote it.I was taken aback when I saw it, and I unconsciously moved closer to take a closer look, and I was sure I was right.

"Xiao Tong, this seal?" Mo Siqing's voice was quite high, his tone mixed with excitement and apprehension, and he stared at Xiao Tong eagerly.

"This is the teacher's seal. She stamped it after writing it. What's the matter? Mother!" Xiao Tong was taken aback by Mo Siqing's eager eyes, and hurriedly replied, secretly begging for the teacher's seal. The question is right.

"This is Shi Gong's seal. The teacher you are talking about refers to Shi Gong?" Mo Siqing thought that Shi Gong, a master of literature, and Lin Gong, a master of current affairs, are both in the palace. It is not surprising that it is Shi Gong's seal, but the prince said before It didn't occur to her that Master Shigong and Lin Gong didn't like Xiao Tong.

"Yes, Shigong helped to write this word. She said my handwriting is really ugly and ruined this good sentence." Xiao Tong thought of Shigong's look of regret and hatred when he saw the calligraphy and painting she wrote. The expression just wants to laugh.

"Okay, okay, it's really good!" Mo Siqing confirmed, rubbing his hands happily, and said two good words in succession, sweat broke out on his forehead for a while, his face was flushed, and he said in a hurry, " Hurry up, find someone to put away the calligraphy and painting properly, and there must be no mistakes."

After finishing speaking, he put away the calligraphy and paintings by himself, and did not forget to appreciate them during the process of putting them away. Xiao Tong, who saw it for the first time, was stunned by the precious look on his face. How could Mo Siqing look like he was at noon at this moment? With a calm demeanor, he looks like a child who got candy!

Xiao Tong was amazed, but other people who knew Mo Siqing looked familiar, just shook their heads with a smile, Xiao Tong also put away his redundant expressions, imitating Mo Li and the others to act calmly.

After Mo Siqing's calligraphy and paintings were collected and the mood stabilized, everyone's eyes turned back to Xiao Tong. The previous two gifts were liked by the recipients. The eyes are the brightest.Everyone turned their eyes to the big box Mo Li put on the table, only then did Mo Hua realize that he hadn't received his gift yet.

Mo Li quickly opened the box, and the contents of the box appeared in the eyes of everyone, two cute little dolls, a man and a woman, with red faces, cute and mischievous smiles, exquisite clothing and accessories, the two dolls are beautiful except for their size. Small, but others are so vivid.

"I heard that my brother-in-law likes children, so I wanted to make a pair of porcelain dolls for my brother-in-law. I will see them more on weekdays. I heard that my children will be like them in the future." Mrs. Li talked about children in front of her. According to her understanding and analysis, this Mrs. Li is a broad-minded person.
