Dad Academy

“Is this the first draft?”

In the Little Red Horse Comics Studio, Zhang Tan was reviewing the latest draft of "Ponyo on the Cliff". The paper was colored, and it basically looked like it would be published in a comic magazine in the future.

Now I have just painted the first scene, and asked Zhang Tan to come over and finalize the style.

Zhang Tan has explained before that the style of "Ponyo on the Cliff" has three key words, "bright", "concise" and "romantic". By grasping these three key factors, the comic style will basically not deviate from what he imagined. .

Sure enough, the cartoon manuscript that Zhang Tan saw at this moment had soft lines and the image of Ponyo was so vivid that it seemed as if she was about to jump out of the drawing paper.

The comics in front of me gradually overlapped with the memories in my mind, and this is it!

"Who is the main author this time?" Zhang Tan asked.

A girl standing next to Xin Xiaoguang took a step forward and said it was her.

Xin Xiaoguang: "This time it was written by Zhang Hongxue."

Zhang Tan smiled and said: "The painting is very good, exactly as I thought. Just paint it in this style, I have no objection."

Zhang Hongxue breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face and an excited look, "Okay, I will work hard, and thank you boss for giving me such an important comic."

Zhang Tan came back from the set in the evening. There was a night scene to be shot today. He and the crew had dinner at the set and stayed for a while before returning.

It was still early, just after eight o'clock, the moon was hanging in the sky, and the cool breeze was blowing. It was already summer, but the weather was not hot yet, neither cold nor hot, and it was a very comfortable weather.

Lao Li sat in the yard making tea day after day, watching the door and living a happy life.

Recently, whenever Zhang Tan is not busy with work at night, he will sit with Lao Li for a while, drink tea and chat. Lao Li is very good at bragging.

Lao Li is also used to it. He usually brings out two chairs. He sits on one and the other is empty in front of him. Whoever comes will sit on it. Xiaobai has sat on it, Liuliu has sat on it, Xi'er has sat on it, and there are many other children who are picking up and dropping off children. Parents have sat on it, such as Tan Jiner.

This time, as soon as Zhang Tan entered the yard, he saw a man sitting on the empty chair in front of Lao Li. He was wearing a blue polo shirt and had a strong build. When he got closer, he saw that it was Meng Guangxin, Cheng Cheng's father.

Meng Guangxin heard footsteps and turned his head to see Zhang Tan coming. He quickly stood up and greeted Boss Zhang politely.

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "You came so early today?"

When Meng Guangxin smiled, only his two small eyes were narrowed into a thin line, "I don't have anything else to do, so I just came here early to see how Cheng Cheng spends every night."

Zhang Tan was stunned, and then said yes, he wanted to pay more attention to the children.

This was the first time that he saw Meng Guangxin caring about how Cheng Cheng spent his evening. Of course, it can't be said that he didn't care before, it's just that Zhang Tan never saw him express it.

Zhang Tan never denied Meng Guangxin's love for Cheng Cheng, but many adults always love in their own way and rarely put themselves in someone else's shoes.

Just like Meng Guangxin, the way he loved Chengcheng in the past was to work hard, work overtime, get promoted and get a raise, and improve his life, but he didn't seem to care much about his daughter's situation in kindergarten and Little Red Horse Late Night Academy. I just focused on my work and didn't come to pick him up until very late.

Zhang Tan didn't know if they would have a chance to communicate, but he probably would.

Looking now, Meng Guangxin seems to have changed.

This is a good thing.

Zhang Tan took a look at the classroom. It was brightly lit, and the voices of children could be heard from time to time, including laughter, babbling voices, and loud shouts. It was very lively.

"You sit here for a while and chat with Lao Li. The tea he makes is very good. You can try it. I will go back first, put away the things, and then chat with you." Zhang Tan said.

Meng Guangxin: "You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."

Lao Li said: "The tea I brew is naturally good. Lao Meng has already praised it."

Meng Guangxin smiled honestly and said: "It's indeed good, but I don't know much about tea."

"You guys chat, I'll go back first."

Zhang Tan passed by the classroom and looked inside. He didn't see Xiaobai, but saw Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng was sitting with several children, telling stories.

Suddenly, a little voice sounded next to me: "hiahia~~~Boss Zhang is peeking at Xiaobai, so shy~~~"

Standing in the corner against the wall was Xi'er, fingers digging into her little face.

Zhang Tan: "I'm looking at Xiaobai, and I'm also looking at you, Xi'er."

When Xi'er heard this, she jumped over happily, like a deer running out of the forest.

"Why are you looking at Xi'er??"

"Xi'er is so cute."

"hiahiahia~~~"

Xi'er took it seriously. She smiled happily and followed Zhang Tan's feet, acting like a little tail.

"Why didn't you play with Liliu today?"

Zhang Tan asked curiously, and the little guy actually followed him all the way back home.

Xi'er usually likes to hang out with Liuliu, and also likes to play with Xiaobai and the others, but she spends more time with Liuliu.

When Xi'er heard about Liliu, her bright little face immediately became a little troubled.

"I don't know. Liuliu didn't come today. What happened to Liuliu? Boss Zhang, I miss her so much."

Zhang Tan put down his bag, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and said to Xi'er who followed him to the bathroom door and held the door edge, "Didn't you ask Teacher Xiaoliu?"

Xi'er shook her head and didn't ask.

"Why don't you ask?"

"I forgot, hiahiahia~~~I asked Xiaobai."

"What did Xiaobai say?"

"Xiaobai said, Hanhan'er, I know it~~ I'm not an old man."

The little guy imitated Xiaobai's speech, and his expressions were very accurate. He raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, which fully conveyed Xiaobai's impatience.

"Hahaha~~Xiao Bai really said that?"

"hiahiahia, it's true."

"You've learned so well. You have a great talent for acting."

"I'm awesome, am I proud? Did I say it? ╭(╯^╰)╮"

"No, no, you are not proud."

You can see the sky with your eyes.

"Come on, let's go down and play. I'll ask Teacher Xiaoliu for you." Zhang Tan wiped his face with a dry towel, lowered his head and saw that Xi'er's little face was dirty, and called her to stop.

"Why is your little face dirty? Did you fall?"

Xi'er nodded and said she hit the wall, hiahiahia~~

"I'll wipe your face."

Zhang Tan washed the towel again, wrung it out, squatted in front of Xi'er, and gently wiped her face.

The little guy's face was dirty, but his big eyes were extremely pure. They were the cleanest and most innocent eyes Zhang Tan had ever seen.

"You look like a little cat."

"hiahiahiahia~~~" Xi'er laughed, her little face that had been wiped with a towel was white and tender, and could be broken with a blow, and she looked like a little princess again, "Eh??"

"What's wrong?"

"It seems that someone said this to Xi'er."

Xi'er tilted her head and thought about it, but in the end she couldn't remember anyone else saying that she was a little cat.

She stopped thinking about it. She jumped up and down, happily followed Zhang Tan downstairs and left.

Zhang Tan gave her a bottle of Little Bear. He couldn't let the child go back empty-handed. As soon as this little guy arrived in the classroom, he rushed to find Xiaobai and asked Xiaobai to have a drink.

Teacher Xiaoliu happened to be passing by, and Zhang Tan asked her why Liuliu didn't come today. She was told that Liuliu had accumulated food again and was lying down at home.
