Chapter 48
Chapter 47: Sister Jiang
Xue Li was stunned, “Is this okay?”
Xue Li never thought of such a method before. She likes comic strips, and she really wants to turn the stories she writes into comic strips, but she is an unknown little person, except for herself On, who else can I ask to help draw a comic strip?
But Jiang Shuangling in front of her made such a suggestion to her, which is of course great for Xue Li!
Illustrated series.
“If you agree, of course you can. Actually, I also like to read comics at home, and I often try to draw characters. Come and see the characters I sketched.” Jiang Shuangling picked up the pencil and wrote a letter. With a wave, the appearance of a character immediately appeared on the blank paper.
He is the protagonist of Xue Li’s story, a factory man named Li Lu.
Jiang Shuangling used to do the work of the original painter, that is, to create character scenes according to the requirements of Party A. This is her old profession. After taking over a lot of work in private, over the years, a material library has long been established in my mind.
Although this material library could not be used in the 1970s, she created a character according to the preferences of ordinary readers of comic books in this era, and it was not challenging for her.
Jiang Shuangling drew sketches of characters. Even though she deliberately drew rough, she was able to show the charm of the characters.
Xue Li became more and more excited when she saw the characters in her brushes, “Your paintings are so beautiful, yes yes yes, this is the Li Lu I want!
Xue Li’s heart was unpredictable. Although the other party was only drawing a simple sketch, it was more in line with his own mind than the self in his dream.
“Xue Li, please give me more details of the characters.” Jiang Shuangling and Xue Li discussed again, the characters on the drawing paper have been modified and become more vivid.
Even if she just saw the basic characters, Xue Li was so excited that she was to death. She was hit hard when she was just in the training class, thinking that her story would never turn into a comic book, but I didn’t expect It took so long before the characters she created had their own appearance.
“Sister Jiang, it’s great to meet you today! Yuli couldn’t help but grab Jiang Shuangling’s hand and shake it vigorously.
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
Sister Jiang?
Inadvertently, she turned into Sister Jiang. In fact, her body is only eighteen or nineteen years old.
However, there is nothing wrong with being a Jiang sister, and there are three stinky brothers in the family.
“It’s too late, I have to go back, I will try to draw a few pictures when I go back, and show you when I go to art class next time.”
“Good good.”
Xue Li excitedly sent Jiang Shuangling out. Now she almost wants to become a pendant on Jiang Shuangling’s body and go back with her.
“I thank you so much, do you want these rags, give them to you, I have a lot of them in my house, you can use them to store the soles of your shoes…”
When they parted, Xue Li, who was very enthusiastic and excited, gave her a small packet of rags and pushed Jiang Shuangling back.
When Jiang Shuangling returned to the family home with her belongings, the sun was about to set, and she happened to meet Luo Hongchun on the way. Luo Hongchun saw her and took the initiative to say hello. Jiang Shuangling responded to her with a few words.
“Why didn’t you come out to practice cycling?” Luo Hongchun has already started to give lectures in the school. She feels that she will definitely be a glorious people’s teacher in the future. However, the place where the school is located is indeed far away. It takes a fixed time to come back by car. It would be nice if there was a bicycle.
She was worrying about how to buy a bicycle just now, when she happened to meet Jiang Shuangling, Luo Hongchun envy the other party’s car.
When she first came back, she also bought vegetables and half a catty of pork in Rongcheng.
Luo Hongchun looked at Jiang Shuangling’s back, and muttered in her heart, “Why don’t you practice? What a waste if you don’t learn how to drive at home…”
Jiang Shuangling returned home and put the things down and steamed the rice in the pot. Not long after, the two children came back.
The two children were very lively today, and ran into the yard with a small schoolbag on their backs, Jiang Che still called her: “Sister! Sister!
The two of them came to school today with a small schoolbag sewn with tiger rabbits, but they showed off well in front of the children.
Jiang Shuangling came out to greet them, and the two children each hugged her thigh, “You’re back? How was your study today?”
Today’s Dali and Xiaohua are much happier than the first day of school, and they don’t know what they met in school.
The two children told her what they had learned at school. After a brief explanation, they picked up the small schoolbag and said unceremoniously, “I want another one.”
Qi Yue widened his eyes, pointed at the tiger on the bag and demanded.
Jiang Shuangling looked at him, and found that this arrogant cub’s eyes were sparkling, as if glowing.
The corner of her mouth twitched: “Is it necessary to sew so much?”
Jiang Che hugged Jiang Shuangling’s legs, “Sister, I want tigers too.”
Qi Yue rubbed his face, “I don’t want to be called Qi Dali, and I don’t want to be called Qi Yi. It’s okay to change it to Qi Tiger.”
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
Qi tiger?
…ride a tiger? ? ?
“You ride a tiger? Why don’t you ride a leopard?” Jiang Shuangling pinched Qi Yue’s face, thinking about this silly child.
Then she turned her eyes to Jiang Che again, thinking that fortunately her younger brother was not named Qi, if she suddenly changed her name and said she was going to be called Qi Rabbit (riding a rabbit), she would really not know whether to laugh or cry.
“The leopard is not as powerful as the tiger.” Qi Yue said solemnly.
Jiang Shuangling: “…” How do you know that leopards are not as powerful as tigers, have you ever seen leopards and tigers fight?
At this time, Jiang Che, who was holding her thigh, tilted his head: “Sister, I also want to ride a tiger.”
Tiger Qi: “????”
“Why do you want to be called Qi…qi, you don’t have the surname Qi?” Little Comrade Qi Huhu was stunned for a moment.
Ride a tiger!
So he tilted his head, “I want to ride a tiger too.”
Jiang Shuangling: “…There is no tiger for you to ride. We only raise rabbits and chickens and ducks. Can you ride rabbits??”
Qi Yue: “…Qi Yi doesn’t ride a rabbit.”
Jiang Che: “…Jiang Yi doesn’t ride a rabbit.”
Jiang Shuangling spread her hands: “Then there is no way, our family is poor, only rabbits are for you to ride.”
After coaxing these two silly children, Jiang Shuangling handed out a handful of grass and radish sticks one by one, and asked the two little guys to play with the rabbits outside.
“Next time I make a tiger hat for the rabbits, you should be riding a tiger.”
These little broken children, they are quite ambitious at a young age, they are not afraid when they hear a tiger, but they still want to ride a tiger.
Jiang Shuangling couldn’t help laughing, she turned around and was about to go back to the kitchen to cook dinner. Who knew that not long after she entered the kitchen, Niu Jiadong’s mother came to their house.
Niu Jiadong’s mother’s name is He Yufeng, she is a little fat aunt, wearing simple gray clothes and an apron around her waist, when she saw Jiang Shuangling, a kind smile appeared on her face .
Jiang Shuangling thought at first that the sister-in-law of the Niu family was recruited because of the fact that Niu Jiadong was arguing about changing her name, but who knew that after chatting with the sister-in-law of the Niu family, she found out that the other party turned out to be for Qi Yue The tiger on the bag.
“After the kid in Jiadong went back, he also made a fuss about sewing a tiger on his schoolbag. I was too upset by him, so I came to you.”
“Do you want tigers?” Jiang Shuangling nodded, thinking that these children all have the same ambition, they all like big tigers.
Today Xue Li gave her a lot of rags, but she can use these rags to make two cloth tigers for the little guys as ornaments.
“Well, sister-in-law, I’ll draw a pattern for you, and you can go back and sew a tiger for him according to the pattern. It’s very simple.”
Niu’s sister-in-law showed a little embarrassed look.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuangling thought that the other party was unwilling, but she didn’t really want to help the other party sew tigers. After all, her own craftsmanship was not very good, and she had no time.
“Sister-in-law, you are…”
He Yufeng said to her: “Qi’s family, can you draw me a monkey.”
Jiang Shuangling choked, “What? Draw a monkey?”
“The kid from Jiadong came back and started clamoring for tigers. My family laughed at him and said he was just a monkey jumping up and down.”
“Let me sew him a monkey.”
“The child also agreed, but I… don’t know what kind of monkey to sew.”
“You… can draw? I heard that you went to the factory to learn how to draw?”
“Can you help me draw a monkey head, just the kind of monkey with a big face, this kid from Jiadong said it would be more aggressive.”
Jiang Shuangling didn’t know what to say anymore, “Okay, sister-in-law, let me draw a monkey for you.”
She made several drafts on the paper, and drew several monkey heads in succession for the Niu family sister-in-law to see, and the Niu family sister-in-law came home with seven or eight monkey heads.
After a while, she sent a small jar of hot and sour millet peppers to thank her.
When Jiang Shuangling received hot and sour millet peppers, she was used to it. The way to express friendliness here is probably to send peppers generally.
After Jiang Shuangling finished telling the new story to the two children at night, she scribbled in her and Qi Heng’s room. Drawings of drawings unfold under her hands.
She drew a lot of line drafts, and also made comparisons and revisions with the comic strip style of this era, so that its aesthetics met the requirements of the people of this era.
Although she remembers to cover up her painting skills, she still wants to keep improving her work.
Of course, she prefers to get the manuscript fee for the comic book, even if she is still an unknown painter, but if her and Xue Li’s manuscript is accepted by the comic book, one page of the manuscript will have For two dollars, ten pages is twenty dollars, which is also a good and easy way to make money.
Qi Heng stood at the door with her arms folded and looked at her.
Jiang Shuangling’s pen suddenly broke, she turned around abruptly to see the icy coldness at the door, and then looked at the time, it was almost ten o’clock at night, which made her unable to bear Yawned, feeling a little tired.
She used to be a night owl now and is used to going to bed early and getting up early.
“…Qiheng?”
Qi Heng glanced at her blankly: “You seem to have forgotten something today.”
Jiang Shuangling: “?”
A question mark appeared above her head, and she asked in confusion, “What did I forget?”
“Where are my clothes?”
