"Oh my God, you've knitted so much?" As soon as Zhang Caiyue entered the room, she saw Qiusha knitting a sweater with her neck tilted, and she had already knitted half of her body.
Qiu Yuling was also slightly surprised for a moment, "You just sat there like this all day?"
When Qiusha saw that they had all returned, she pulled out the needle, put the half-finished sweater on the bed, stood up and stretched.
"Ouch, my arm is stiff."
Qiu Yuling happened to be standing nearby. Seeing her stiffen halfway through her stretch, she helped her move her arms and shoulders around a couple of times. "Turn your neck around, too. Maintaining this position for a long time can easily lead to cervical spondylosis."
Qiusha was shocked when she heard this. She didn't even have time to eat properly. She asked her roommate to make two steamed buns for her to make do with. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to do so much work that day.
"Next time I won't sit for so long in one breath. I'll stop and take a rest. Yuling, look, how am I knitting?"
Qiu Yuling took it. It was the most common flat stitch, but she didn't look like a novice at all. So her dexterity must be innate.
"It's my first time knitting like this, it's pretty good."
"Once I've finished knitting this one, I'll have a rough idea of it. I'll then knit you a pattern. You can help your relative choose from the book. What pattern do you want?"
Qiusha is very confident when it comes to needlework. She comes from a background in sewing and is proficient in many things.
Qiu Yuling picked and chose, and chose a different pattern for each of Qiu's mother and sister-in-law. "Let's each use one of the two women's ones."
Qiusha leaned over to take a look, noted the page number and pattern, and said, "Just wait and see, I'm sure you won't lose face."
"Seeing Qiusha weave so smoothly, I'm itching to do it too. Well, I won't charge you any money. If anyone has a thread, I'll do it for free." Zhao Xiaogu was selling himself, saying that he was not even cheap labor.
"The market is bad now. How can Qiusha continue to make a living if you continue like this?" Li Feidan teased her.
Qiusha was not afraid either, "It's okay, not everyone can take this bowl." She was not bragging, she just didn't believe that others had her understanding in this regard.
"Oh, by the way, I have a pair of work gloves. I can tear them into yarn and save up a few more pairs later. I saw a vest made of that yarn in the book Yuling brought. Wouldn't it be perfect to knit it with that?"
"Really? I have gloves too. I have nothing else to do anyway, so let's take them off now."
When Li Feidan and Zhao Xiaogu came to the same conclusion, sparks and lightning flashed, and they suddenly understood.
The two men stopped reading and climbed up and down, each finding a pair of work gloves, and immediately bent their necks to remove the stitches.
Qiu Yuling also took out a pair and followed the trend. After all, it is always good to have many skills.
Bai Qiaolan came in, twisting her hair. The whole room was silent, and everyone lowered their heads. "What are you doing?"
Zhang Caiyue didn't have any gloves to take off herself, so she was helping Zhao Xiaogu. Her mouth was more convenient than others. "I'm taking off my gloves. I'm going to knit a sweater. Do you have gloves? I'll help you take them off."
"Yes, wait, I'll go find it."
Bai Qiaolan pulled out a wooden box from the lower bed, unlocked it, and took out two pairs of knitted gloves from the bottom.
"You actually have two pairs?" Zhang Caiyue was extremely envious, but now, she was the only one who didn't have one.
"My neighbor said that the school often organizes people to go to the fields in the countryside, so my mother packed two pairs of gloves for me, but I haven't used them yet.
I'll lend you a pair. Return them to me when you have them." Bai Qiaolan gave a pair to Zhang Caiyue.
"Qiaolan, you are so kind."
When Yang Huihui came in, everyone in the room was like, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Caiyue repeated the same explanation process.
Yang Huihui didn't have gloves, so she came closer to them to watch and helped them wind the ball.
"This is not enough." After taking everything apart and wrapping it up, Zhao Xiaogu looked at the palm-sized ball of thread and felt that this path was completely unworkable.
"Let's get together and knit one, that would be great. Then we can take turns wearing it." Zhang Caiyue had already thought about it before Zhao Xiaogu asked the question.
"That's fine. It's better to be able to get one thing together than to wait forever. I agree. Yuling, Qiaolan, what about you two?" Li Feidan also thought this idea was appropriate.
Of course Qiu Yuling agreed.
Fortunately, we brought a lot of bamboo sticks at once in the morning, and everyone couldn't wait until tomorrow, so they started gathering in front of the kerosene lamp to figure out how to start.
"Qiusha, come over and take a look, this doesn't seem right." Zhao Xiaogu was itching to get started, so he was the first to do it.
But whether it is the stick or the string, they all have their own ideas and refuse to be controlled at all.
"No, look, like this, put the stick on the base of your thumb and wrap the thread around your little finger."
Zhao Xiaogu still couldn't understand, so Qiusha helped him wind the thread on. "Oh, right, just like that, hook it on the needle, and then pull the hooked thread from the bottom up..."
"Xiao Gu, why don't you move aside and let me try first." After struggling for so long, they still haven't knitted a single circle. It's really frustrating. Bai Qiaolan and Zhang Caiyue simultaneously sent out the signal for a substitute.
"Then you go first, try it first." What a joke. Even the gloves were given to her by others. How could Zhang Caiyue have the nerve to compete with others?
The knitting needles and ball of thread passed into Bai Qiaolan's hands. She was a little better than Zhao Xiaogu, but her range was limited. It was common for her to drop or miss stitches.
After walking around three times, I saw that there were holes in some places and slight bulges in some places. It seemed that there were both missed stitches and extra stitches.
"It's okay. It's easy to dismantle. Let's do it again."
Now it was Zhang Caiyue's turn. Needless to say, she had more talent than the two who died before.
Bai Qiaolan took a look and felt that she was fine again.
"When you finish weaving this circle, it's my turn."
“…”
Qiu Yuling had long since fallen into a deep sleep, having been pulled up over her head by the quilt. It was both tiring for her eyes and her mind, and she didn't want to join in the fun at this time.
We all overslept in the dormitory the next day.
"It's all my fault for sleeping too late last night. The coach will definitely tell you when I go."
Zhao Xiaogu ran out while muttering.
In my panic, I even put on the wrong shoes.
Li Feidan chased him all the way in a bad mood, "No, don't you feel uncomfortable when you run?"
She had to wear two right feet and couldn't catch up.
As Qiu Yuling was not burdened by these things, she was placed at the end of the team and jumped all over the playground.
After they changed their shoes, the coach looked at them for a long time with a half-smile on his face. "Why, let you two go back to sleep? Hurry up and join the team. Each of you will do ten more laps."
Both of them were wailing in their hearts, but no one dared to argue. If anyone dared to say a word to Ningci, they would have to add ten more rounds.
After Qiu Yuling finished her own dance, she put her hands behind her back to help the teacher supervise the two thieves. The coach just said that they were stealing and couldn't get up.
"Hold your butt down before jumping."
Zhao Xiaogu secretly grinned at Qiu Yuling who said this, "You little bitch, wait until we get back to the dormitory."
