Gu Qingyao smiled, “Teacher, you’re more skilled now.”
“Hahaha!” Zhou Bingsheng laughed loudly. He loved calligraphy and liked when people say that he was more advanced in calligraphy and painting.
“Come on, you can also draw a picture to see if you were lazy recently.”
Zhou Bingsheng handed the brush to Gu Qingyao, and stood a little away.
Gu Qingyao took the brush and took another piece of white paper and started drawing.
She had a very high level of calligraphy in her previous life. Now that she had the memory of her previous life, her level of calligraphy and painting was not comparable to that of a little girl now. But in order to appear normal, she hid her real skills.
Ten minutes later, a landscape painting was completed.
This time, she obviously painted much faster than the Gu Qingyao from before, and her skills and artistic conception improved.
Zhou Bingsheng looked at her paintings; his eyes brightened. “Good! Good! You are indeed talented. You will definitely be extraordinary in the future.”
Ke Min looked at the work in front of her and smiled. “This kid has improved too fast. This talent… is really incomparable to ordinary people. It seems that she practices very often as well!”
“Mr Zhou, you really have a good apprentice!”
“Haha!” Zhou Bingsheng felt more proud now.
Zhou Bingsheng was very happy with Gu Qingyao’s progress, and gave her a lot of advice. The master and disciple talked for more than two hours before it ended.
Zhou Bingsheng said, “Okay, Let’s end here today. Go back and think about what I said; practice more. You will definitely understand.”
“Yes, Teacher.”
Ke Min smiled and said, “Since you’re done, come and learn embroidery with me, Yao Yao! This is an old craft. If I die someday, this craft will be wasted. It will be good to find someone to pass down the skill.”
Ke Min was a descendant of Jiangnan embroidery and she was particularly good at embroidery.
It was relatively time-consuming. Soon, another two hours passed.
It was getting late, and Gu Qingyao had to go back.
The elderly were reluctant to let her go. Nowadays, especially in the countryside, it was not easy to find such a smart girl like Gu Qingyao!
They were all old, and no one knew when this current situation would pass. They did not want to bring their talents into the grave. They really wished to teach Gu Qingyao everything they knew.
When Gu Qingyao returned home, her aunt was sitting beside the fire in the room and Gu Fangting took a broom to clean the snow before the threshold. Although it was still snowing, it would be pointless to clean the snow. But the snow just before the threshold was a bit inconvenient.
Gu Fangting was a very diligent child. She always looked for chores to do without others telling her.
Gu Qingyao was touched by that.
She went back to the room and took out a set of elementary school textbooks from her interspace. She took pens and paper as well and went to the opposite room.
Her aunt Gu Yunshuang was leaning on the bedside to mend up clothes for Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu. Seeing Gu Qingyao coming in, she smiled, “Yao Yao!”
Gu Qingyao called Gu Fangting over and put the textbook in front of the two of them, “Aunt, Tingting, this is a complete set of textbooks for elementary school. Aunt, since you have nothing to do now, you can teach Tingting to read and learn. Tingting is ten years old and she hasn’t gone to school yet!
“I heard from Brother Beihan that there may be schools set up in the future. Ting Ting should start learning now. If there will be schools, Tingting will be able to attend. She can even go to the upper grades directly. Otherwise, she will be too old by then.”
Gu Fangting was stunned!
