So when Bai Yueyao saw Li Jing come out, she immediately chickened out. She stopped asking around and refused to borrow a house. Now she wished she could slap herself. Why didn't she turn around and run away when she saw this plague?
Going inside to wait for Xia Ning was no longer an option, but if she didn't wait for Xia Ning, her plan would fail.
How could Bai Yueyao give up? She gritted her teeth and stood in the wind, waiting for Xia Ning to return.
Actually, Xia Ning was indeed at home today. She had insomnia and went to bed too late yesterday. She was lazing in bed and hadn't even eaten breakfast.
Li Jing was afraid that Xia Ning would run into Bai Yueyao when she went out, so after chasing Bai Yueyao away, she went to knock on Xia Ning's door.
Xia Ning, still half-asleep, looked at Li Jing standing outside the door and said:
"Li Zhiqing, what is it?"
Li Jing pushed her into the room and closed the door, saying:
"Bai Zhiqing came looking for you, but I scolded her away. I peeked through the door and she was standing not far from our door. Are you going out today? If you are, I'll give her a good scolding and send her packing!"
In short, it's just a matter of finding fault with Bai Yueyao and giving her a good scolding; it's not difficult at all.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ning woke up completely. She poured warm water from the thermos, washed her face, and felt refreshed.
Thinking of Bai Yueyao's humiliation, Xia Ning was in a good mood and said:
"I can't stay home at all, I can't not go to the bathroom either. Bai Yueyao is definitely watching our house. If I go to the bathroom, she'll know I'm home!"
That's true, but we can't let her see it so easily," Li Jing suggested.
"Then hold it in for a bit, at least don't go to the toilet this morning. If it doesn't work, I'll borrow Grandma Bai's spittoon for you later. Just stay inside and bear it a little longer, and let Bai Yueyao wait outside!"
I have to admire Bai Zhiqing's thick skin. Even after all that cursing, she still had the nerve to stand at the door like a gatekeeper.
Xia Ning was also quite curious about how long Bai Yueyao could wait. She wasn't doing this for revenge; she was just curious, purely curious!
Xia Ning agreed:
"Have you two finished gathering the firewood? The three of us can play cards later, so I won't get bored and keep thinking about going to the toilet!"
"No need for the spittoon, you can't just lend out those things!"
No matter how clean Grandma Bai is, Xia Ning still can't accept using her spittoon!
Li Jing nodded and said:
"That's about enough. We were going to continue knitting, but we're not in a rush. Let's play all day today!"
Li Jing and Yang Xiaohong's sweaters have faded after wearing them for a long time, and they've both gained some weight recently due to good food, so the sweaters are now a bit tight.
So Yang Xiaohong came up with a solution: she took apart two pairs of white gloves, inserted them inside the knitting cloth, and knitted them intermittently. This not only solved the problem of not having enough yarn and not being able to alter the size of the cloth, but also solved the problem of not being able to knit larger pieces.
Moreover, the black and white striped sweater looks much better than before!
Not only did Xia Ning love it, but even Zhong Wanwan excitedly took the yarn and asked Yang Xiaohong and Li Jing to help her knit it!
Of course, this couldn't be free. In exchange, Zhong Wanwan specially gave two extra balls of yarn for each sweater as payment to Li Jing and Yang Xiaohong!
Don't underestimate those two balls of yarn; they're a solid two ounces of new yarn. Zhong Wanwan is going to knit one for each of her three siblings, which means it's a pound and two ounces of yarn.
That's enough for Li Jing and Yang Xiaohong to each knit a woolen vest. When the weather gets warmer, they can wear it over their shirts—it'll be both warm and stylish!
However, no one can wear sweaters this season, so Zhong Wanwan's idea is that the two of them can knit them before spring!
Before long, Li Jing, along with Yang Xiaohong and Xiao Pangui who had been brought in to make up the numbers, started playing cards.
When Xiao Pan Gui found out about this, she came up with an even worse idea: she wouldn't let Xia Ning drink water. If Xia Ning was really thirsty, she would just sip a little water, afraid that Xia Ning would drink too much water and have to go to the toilet.
To encourage Xia Ning, the other three also stopped drinking water.
The four of them played cards until 3 p.m., when Grandma Bai came out to cook, and then they finally stopped playing.
At this moment, the four of them had so little water that their throats were parched!
We'd had enough of playing cards, and to keep our throats from hurting, we just played for fun, and later we even talked less!
Xia Ning really couldn't hold it in any longer. Not drinking water could stop her from urinating, but it couldn't stop her from having to pee!
