Chapter 34 Listening to Gossip 2



Li Xiaoyan was washing the clothes in her hands, thinking about the gossip she had just heard from others, so she said to Lin Qiaoqiao,

"There's a new teacher at the elementary school, and he's said to be a capable person."

"Oh? Does it matter whether it's a boy or a girl?" Lin Qiaoqiao became interested because Qin Ling was already old enough to go to school.

The original owner was reluctant to spend money and did not send the child to school. Now that September is only a month away, he must be sent to school when the semester starts.

Li Xiaoyan, "Last name Luo, Luo Na, I think that's her name, she's a female teacher. She always comes up with weird things. I heard other kids say that the teacher treated them to instant noodles, and then I asked.

They say that noodles smell really good when soaked in water."

Lin Qiaoqiao immediately thought of instant noodles. Oh my goodness, there seemed to be no instant noodles in this era? I'm not sure if there was any. Anyway, a teacher took out instant noodles for students to eat. Isn't this a bit too much?

"What else did she take out?"

"Also, she dresses in a weird way, wearing a skirt every day, and never the same one twice!" Li Xiaoyan said enviously, "I want to wear a skirt too, but I don't know how to do it."

Lin Qiaoqiao, "If you have the right fabric, I can make you a skirt, but I can only make very simple styles. I can't make complicated ones. Also, it's best not to wear this skirt outside, so that no one will gossip about it."

Li Xiaoyan's eyes sparkled. "Are you serious? Can you make a skirt for me?"

Lin Qiaoqiao pointed her finger and said, "How can I lie to you? Look at my little sister. The skirt she is wearing is made by me."

"Wow, it's so pretty!" Li Xiaoyan immediately fell in love with the skirt that the little girl was wearing. The style was very simple and not very revealing. The hem of the skirt reached below the knees.

“You really made this skirt!”

Lin Qiaoqiao nodded generously in acknowledgement.

Aunt Wu, who was washing clothes nearby, said, "Oh my God, you are so amazing! You made this skirt as soon as you wanted to. How did you learn this skill?"

"I just like to tinker with it, but I didn't expect that I could actually make a skirt." Lin Qiaoqiao replied without changing her expression.

An Yue put the washed clothes into the basin, then picked them up.

"Some people are bragging so much that I just can't stand it! I've finished washing the clothes, so I'm leaving now!"

He turned around and walked away with the basin without waiting for them to reply.

Lin Qiaoqiao didn't have much impression of this woman. "I didn't offend her, why did she say that?"

Li Xiaoyan saw that there were no outsiders around, so she said, "This woman's name is An Yue. She wanted to marry Qin Fang before, but her family didn't agree, so she didn't get married.

You later married me, and now I see that you are living a good life, and I feel uncomfortable. In the future, when we meet, we should talk less. The man in his family is not as good as Qin Fang. Not only is he short, but he also stutters when he speaks!"

Lin Qiaoqiao finally understood what was going on. "So that's how it is. I'll know next time."

Li Xiaoyan changed the subject and said, "I heard that the female teacher in that school asked the girls to wear underwear and even held a meeting for the girls. Do you know what underwear is?"

"I know!" Lin Qiaoqiao replied without stopping her hands and continued to rub the clothes vigorously.

There were two people nearby who had finished washing and left with their basins, and the area suddenly became empty.

Li Xiaoyan raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face. "You really know a lot. I heard that the underwear was quite strange. The female teacher even showed it to her students!"

Lin Qiaoqiao felt that this female teacher was a little strange, and didn't seem like someone from this era, but she didn't think much about it. She knew that she would be able to see people in person when Qin Ling went to school in the future.

As we chatted, everyone went back to cook.

In order to be able to wear a skirt, Li Xiaoyan took the initiative to help wash the sheets.

Lin Qiaoqiao has to help others if she wants to benefit them. They agreed that Li Xiaoyan will send the fabric tomorrow and she will help make the skirt.

By the way, I was thinking about whether I should also make a skirt to wear at home when I am not going out, so that I can keep cooler.

The laundry people had left, and everything was washed. Lin Qiaoqiao decisively put her feet in the water to wash them, thinking about what to eat for lunch today.

Then she saw a fish swimming over. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a crucian carp. The fish swam over and turned over just as it reached her feet. . . .

Lin Qiaoqiao looked at her feet. Could it be that the skin on her feet was poisonous?

I scooped the fish up in a basin and weighed it. It was quite fat.

Then she saw some shellfish similar to clams in the water. This discovery made her very happy, so she rolled up her pants and went into the water, groping in the water with her hands.

After a while, I actually found some. There were about thirty or forty of them. They were so easy to catch.

So he threw them onto the shore while searching for them, and before he knew it, he had thrown a small pile. Seeing the surprised expressions of the brother and sister, Lin Qiaoqiao wiped the sweat off her face.

"This thing is so easy to catch. There should be enough for you to eat. Let it spit out sand for two days and then fry it for you to eat!"

Qin Ling couldn't describe his feelings at this moment, "Sister-in-law, do you know how difficult it is to catch clams?"

"Isn't this simple?" Lin Qiaoqiao walked ashore and put on her shoes. She thought of the fish in the basin and said, "It would be great if I could have a piece of tofu. I'll make you crucian carp and tofu soup tonight. It'll taste so delicious!"

Qin Ling looked at the three fish in the can, then looked at the fish in the basin, and the clams on the ground. He killed them all in seconds without leaving any trace.

"Sister-in-law, can you tell me how you did it? How did you catch this fish?"

"Maybe he died because of my smelly feet..." Lin Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing when she was telling the truth.

Qin Ling simply chose to ignore it. Even if the fish died from smelly feet, so what? As long as there were fish to eat, wasn't that enough?

Lin Qiaoqiao felt her mouth was a little dry, so she picked up the water bottle and drank some water. When there were many people around, she didn't dare to take out the water bottle. What if someone else wanted to drink it? The water bottles in this army are really good. When I went to get clothes today, I saw them on the table and thought about filling some water to drink.

I gave them some water respectively, then started to pack up the washed clothes and went home together.

I have to say, the sun was quite strong today. It didn’t feel that hot when I was by the river, but when I got home I felt like I was covered in sweat.

At this time, I thought, why not make a bathing device at home, and I thought of the short video I had seen and posted on the self-media. Simple bathing facilities in rural areas only need to build a shed outside, and then get a black bag or a black plastic bucket, put water in it and hang it on the wall. After being exposed to the sun, the water will slowly turn hot, and you can use it for bathing at night.

I decided to talk to Qin Fang tonight. After all, he is so capable that there is nothing he can't get.

I saw that the kidney beans on the ground had wilted due to the sun. After two days of exposure to the sun, they would be dried and look pretty good.
