Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hearing this, Ji Zi’ang looked at the words on the wall and was a little disappointed. “A painting that even my brother doesn’t know about must not be famous. Forget it, let’s look at the next one!”
As he spoke, he pulled Ji Zixuan in another direction.
At that moment, a boy who was about the same age as Ji Zi’ang suddenly said, “Who said that a painting that your brother doesn’t know is an unknown painting? The artist of this painting is very famous. You should all know him.” The boy’s tone was a little haughty, and the way he looked at Ji Zi’ang and the others gave off a feeling of superiority.
It was one thing for him to be looked down upon, but who was this person who dared to look at his brother like that?
After all, his brother was the top student in the entire grade.
Ji Zi’ang was unconvinced and rolled his eyes. “Who is it? 1 don’t know many artists. Gu Kaizhi, Wu Daozi, Zhao Mengdi, Zhang Zuoduan, which one of them is the artist of this painting?”
The little boy smiled. “It’s the Art Saint, Daoist Wu.”
Ji Zi’ang stammered, “Wu… Daoist Wu is very famous, but this painting isn’t his representative work. The books didn’t teach it, so it’s normal that we don’t know.”
The little boy glanced at Ji Zi’ang and did not continue arguing about whether the painting was famous or not. Instead, he started to introduce it.
“This is a mural. It’s a mural the painting Saint Daoist Wu had painted on the wall of a temple. It’s said that he only used one night to complete this painting. In a sense, this is his pinnacle work.”
Ji Zi’ang pouted and did not take it to heart.
He muttered in his heart, tsk, what is he showing off for? Was it so amazing to know about a painting?
“What’s the name of this painting?” Ji Zixuan patiently asked.
The little boy turned to look at Ji zixuan in surprise. “A painting of hell’s changes.”
Ji Zixuan nodded and smiled. “You know quite a lot.”
The little boy was a little embarrassed when he heard this. “Actually, our teacher mentioned it in class…”
The two of them chatted for a while, and since they had similar interests, they traveled together.
Li Xu looked at the back of the two people and seemed to be in deep thought.
It was already three in the afternoon when they left the museum.
After Ji Zixuan waved goodbye to the boy, he left with his mother.
It was too late for them to go to the next museum. After discussing with the children, Zhang Kun simply took them to the shopping mall.
The shopping mall here was different from the one in S City. It was a brand new building with all kinds of high-end counters. It was a bit too much for the eyes to take in.
Even the clothes in the mall were more fashionable than those in S City.
Li Xu was delighted to see them. She bought two sets of clothes for each of the three children.
As for her and Zhang Kun, they also bought a set each.
The family of five had returned with a full load.
It was already past six o’clock when they returned.
In the back seat, Ji Zi’ang was studying the map of the zoo they were going to the next day.
Zhang Kun talked to the children in the back seat from time to time.
Li Xu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was silent. No one knew what she was thinking.
Zhang Kun naturally noticed Li Xu’s abnormality. After washing up and going to bed at night, Zhang Kun pretended nothing had happened and replied, “You didn’t eat much last night. What are you thinking about?”
Li Xu was in front of the dressing table, applying vanishing cream on her face from time to time.
Hearing this, she turned around and looked at Zhang Kun, saying, “The little boy we met this morning, he’s a year younger than Zi’ang. He knows so much.” So it was because of this!
Zhang Kun smiled and joked with her, “What’s wrong? Are you upset to see that other people’s sons know more than our son?”
In the past, no matter where Ji Zixuan went, he was always the best in his studies.
He knew everything that others didn’t. He could do the questions that others couldn’t.
But today, Zixuan had met his match.
In the museum, something that even Zi Xuan didn’t know, a little boy a few years younger than him actually knew.
Li Xu shook her head. “I’m not upset. I understand that there’s always someone better than you. Zixuan can’t always be the best.”
“Then what are you thinking about?” Zhang Kun asked.
“I was just thinking, should we let Zixuan go to school in the city?” Li Xu said, “The schools in the city are definitely better than those in the county. Zixuan is number one in the county every year. There’s no room for him to improve.” Li Xu’s words made Zhang Kun thoughtful.
“He has no opponents here, so he can’t improve any further. However, when he went to the city, his classmates would be very outstanding. When he had the motivation, he would definitely be better than he was now. You’ve also seen it today, Zixuan isn’t someone who can’t accept others being stronger than him.” “You’re right,” Zhang Kun nodded.
As much as he was surprised by this, he was also very proud.
When Ji Zixuan met someone stronger than him, he would not be jealous or angry. Instead, he would patiently ask for advice. Even though this little boy was younger than him, he still looked humble and eager to learn.
“And on my way back, 1 took a closer look. There’s really no vegetable shop like ours. If that’s the case, then we have to occupy the market in the city as soon as possible.”
Zhang Kun laughed when he heard Li Xu’s words. “Not bad, Boss Li. You really look like a boss now. Even thinking about problems has become the way a boss thinks.”
Li Xu put on the cap of the cream, turned around, and climbed into bed. She looked at Zhang kun with some difficulty. “If the children want to go to the city, that’s easy. As long as there were houses in the city, the children could settle down. After settling in, she could go to the school there. But, what about you?”
“What?” Zhang kun was stunned.
“Your job is here. If we were to go to the city, what would you do?” Li Xu was a little worried.
Although Zhang Kun’s work was not tiring, it was considered idle. However, they left early and returned late. If they really moved to the city, what would Zhang kun do to work?
“Isn’t it a little bad to live in two different places?” Li Xu looked at Zhang Kun and asked.
If that was the case, Zhang Kun would have to live here alone.
Their family could only be reunited on the weekends.
“No way!” Zhang Kun’s face darkened.
He reached out and pulled Li Xu into his arms. He said in a low voice, “It’s not good for a relationship if the couple lives separately for a long time. Besides, if I’m not by my children’s side for a long time, I’m afraid that the feelings they’ve built up with great difficulty will be exhausted in less than two years.”
They were father and son, so they had to maintain their relationship..
