There is still a lot of room for operation.
Qiao Qingqing felt no burden at all.
"Wow! Sister Qingqing, you are so skillful! How come you can even cut portraits?"
Paper cutting is still very common nowadays. People have no entertainment activities and in order to increase income and reduce expenditure, paper cutting becomes a fashion.
So Qiao Qingqing didn't bother to find a teacher. During festivals, neighbors and people upstairs and downstairs would cut paper.
Qiao Qingqing was interested, so she watched from the side and learned from others.
Seeing that she was well-behaved and obedient, and that her eyes were full of longing, the neighbors gave her scissors and paper so that she could play with cutting.
But Qiao Qingqing does have talent.
She is deft and nimble, and can imitate a pattern she sees once, the first time she cuts it, and the third time she cuts it exactly the same.
However, this skill is of little use in normal times, and it can only be used during festivals and celebrations.
Qiao Qingqing originally wanted to cut a pair of small paper figures, but then she thought that this did not seem to be a good omen, so she only cut two small figures, one representing the official and the other representing the lady.
After showing this skill, Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang admired her even more!
The two men pestered Qiao Qingqing, one on each side, and asked her to teach them how to cut small portraits.
Considering that this was someone else's wedding room, Qiao Qingqing said, "Come to my place when you get home and I'll teach you two slowly. Decorate the room first today so as not to delay Miaomiao and Accountant Zhou's wedding."
The two of them nodded quickly: "Yeah!"
With the addition of Qiao Qingqing, the speed of paper cutting soared, and it didn't take long before all the necessary wedding characters and window decorations were cut.
The three of them went out together to find Aunt Xiumei to "hand over the task".
"Oh, you guys have worked so hard! Come in and have a drink of water - Jianmin, quickly pour some water for Zhiqing Qiao, Zhiqing Yao, and Zhiqing Zhou!"
Feng Xiumei was too busy to entertain the three female educated youth personally, so she had to call her youngest son.
But Qiao Qingqing wanted to go home.
"Aunt Xiumei, if nothing else needs me, I'll go home first."
"Aunt, we are leaving with Sister Qingqing. No one will greet us. Please go and get busy!"
Feng Xiumei hurriedly asked the guest to stay: "Why are you leaving? It's almost noon, stay for lunch!"
"No, I've already prepared it at home." Qiao Qingqing declined politely.
The two female comrades naturally followed Qiao Qingqing, as they really wanted to learn how to cut small portraits.
The three of them came to Qiao Qingqing's place from the captain's house.
"You two haven't eaten yet?"
Qiao Qingqing asked.
Yao Xiaoman: “Hehe~”
Zhou Lanfang smiled shyly.
Qiao Qingqing understood.
"We don't have time to cook much today, so let's just make do with one meal for the three of us."
"Okay!"
The two of them became Qiao Qingqing's followers again.
"Sister Qingqing, do we need help?"
"Sister Qingqing, let me burn the firewood."
Qiao Qingqing had no choice but to assign tasks to the two of them separately.
"Oh, by the way, Sister Qingqing!"
As Yao Xiaoman was chatting, she suddenly remembered that she had not returned the key to her, so she quickly took it out.
"Sister Qingqing, Lan Fang and I come to water your vegetable garden every other day." The little girl raised her chin with a proud expression.
Qiao Qingqing couldn't help laughing, "Yes, yes, so for the next half month, you can all come to my place for dinner, and I won't give you any food."
After hearing this, Yao Xiaoman suddenly retracted her head in embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "That's not the case... I didn't come here to eat at your place."
Before going to Beijing, Qiao Qingqing had already arranged everything for her family.
She only raises chickens in her space, so aside from the few vegetable plots, there’s nothing else to take care of at home.
After thinking it over, Qiao Qingqing asked Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang for help, and asked them to go to her house to water the vegetable garden while she was away.
It’s not difficult to say, but now the water still needs to be fetched by people!
Qiao Qingqing had been gone for more than ten days, and Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang had a lot of work just to help her fetch water and water the vegetables.
Qiao Qingqing herself is not a stingy person. If she has no way to make money and no food, she will definitely not pretend to be rich.
But she happens to have both of these.
At most, you just have to work harder, plant more rice, harvest more millet, and pound more rice in the space!
Therefore, for lunch, Qiao Qingqing let the two of them eat rice until they were full.
"How is it? Didn't I ask you two to do anything?"
After eating and drinking, Qiao Qingqing joked with the two of them while washing dishes.
Yao Xiaoman sat at the kitchen door with a stool in her hand, like a clingy person, "Hey, Sister Qingqing never lets us down~"
"Sister Qingqing, where should we put the leftovers?" Zhou Lanfang asked while holding a plate of leftovers.
Qiao Qingqing said casually: "Just put it next to the stove."
"Sister Qingqing, tell us about what you encountered when you went to Beijing? Are there really bad guys?"
When asking this question, Yao Xiaoman's eyes seemed to sparkle, and it was obvious that she really wanted to hear an exciting story.
Qiao Qingqing naturally would not tell anyone about being chased by the spies.
She recounted several things she had seen during her journey.
——Although she hid in the space, she could still sense what was happening around her, but her range was limited.
There are all kinds of people on a train. The things Qiao Qingqing mentioned are the ones that left a deep impression on her, which shows that they are quite interesting.
Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang were both listening with great interest.
Qiao Qingqing sighed in her heart: I feel like I'm taking care of a child...
