Chapter 72 Dancing Noodles
After saying this to Hu Qingqing, Shen Xiaoyue officially began to lead the life of an idle person.
But she wasn't really idle.
It is risky for Lu Ping'an to sell things on the black market. Since she wants to take him to the college entrance examination, she can't let him do these things anymore.
However, Lu Ping'an resisted for a long time, and the two of them took a step back. He continued to help the villagers sell handmade wooden products and the like to make some money, while Shen Xiaoyue continued to sell her handmade head flowers and accessories.
There was still a lot of white cloth left from the previous purchase, and Lu Ping'an bought some more when she got married. She took them all to Lu Guoliang.
The sales of hair ornaments are not as popular as they were at the beginning, and there are many diligent women learning to sell them. There are many people competing for their business, and most of them are repeat customers.
She wanted to add some new items to her stall.
What is popular now is the army green shoulder bag, which is big, durable and practical.
Or it could be a black leather handbag like the one the leader carries, which is smaller.
Overall, there aren’t many styles.
Shen Xiaoyue suggested making a smaller bag to hold food stamps and the like, and embroider some flowers on it to make it more novel and beautiful.
Lu Ping'an, who was sitting next to her and playing with her hand, leaned his head over and said, "Wife, everyone stuffs the food coupons into their clothes. If they put them in their bags, everyone is afraid that they will be stolen by pickpockets."
Nowadays, people will sew several pockets on the inside of their clothes, and they will only feel at ease when putting important tickets and money in the pocket closest to their body.
Moreover, compared with decorations such as head flowers and hats, bags are more practical.
These days it is easy to make a little money secretly, but it is extremely difficult to make a lot of money.
After returning home, Shen Xiaoyue threw Lu Ping'an onto the bed with a bear pounce, her face full of melancholy, and she sighed: "Let me rest for a while."
Lu Ping'an obediently positioned himself into the shape of a "big" character, allowing her to hug him however she wanted.
A hand touched her head dishonestly and rubbed it hard: "Wife, let's not do it if you are tired. Didn't you say that the college entrance examination might be coming soon? Let's concentrate on studying."
"I've been to the black market so many times and never been caught, don't worry."
Shen Xiaoyue sat up immediately. That’s right, she didn’t have to rush to learn, but Lu Pingan couldn’t.
She immediately took out the textbook that Lu Ping'an had bought in the county town two days ago and spread it on the table.
"You're right. From today on, you don't have to go. Just follow me and study hard at home every day."
She was too impatient, she didn't know her priorities, and all she could think about was making more money.
Lu Pingan: ...He meant that his wife should learn it, not him alone.
Lu Ping'an didn't dare to say anything, after all, he had promised to learn along.
"The betrothal money you gave me is enough to cover the household expenses for 18 months. It's decided. You are not allowed to go."
Lu Pingan was anxious: "Wife, the betrothal money is for you, not for you to subsidize the family. If I can't even earn this money, then I'm so useless."
He disagreed with anything.
In the end, they set aside five days for studying and two days for selling goods, trying not to make big money but to make small profits. Their arrangements were clear and full.
Both of them were satisfied.
"Okay, let's see how your foundation is first."
Shen Xiaoyue rummaged around for a long time and actually found an elementary school textbook.
She looked through it and found the simplest article.
"Come on, read this in its entirety."
Lu Ping'an began to feel dizzy again, but his wife was staring at him, so he could only endure the dizziness and read word by word.
Shen Xiaoyue nodded, not bad, the knowledge of the second grade of elementary school is very solid.
She took out the slate and slate pencil she had bought earlier and said, "Recite the passage you just said."
Lu Ping'an did as he was told immediately.
After a while, Shen Xiaoyue raised the slate above her head, her mouth twitched, and she pointed at the caterpillars with trembling fingers: "...What is this?"
Lu Pingan looked innocent: "The article I just read."
Shen Xiaoyue: …
Who can explain to her why she can recognize and read words but cannot write? ? ?
The handwriting was so messed up that she thought someone had scattered some dancing noodles on the stone slab.
Her forehead twitched, and she took several deep breaths before forcing out a smile: "Be good, copy every word in this book before you talk to me."
She originally wanted to ask him to copy it ten times. Judging from his handwriting, they probably wouldn't have to talk to each other for a week after copying it ten times.
Lu Pingan raised his hand aggrievedly: "Wife, I can't write it down."
The second grade articles are not long, but at most one article can be written on the slate.
"After you finish writing one, show it to me, then erase it and write the next one."
Lu Pingan raised his hand again cautiously: “Then I can talk to you when I finish writing an article.”
Shen Xiaoyue glanced at him, and he immediately covered his mouth and nodded, backed away, and sat back at the table obediently.
She stood behind Lu Ping'an with her hands behind her back, watching his hands shaking, and then she copied him and finished writing the first word.
I can't tell what's wrong with the posture and handwriting, but it just feels awkward everywhere.
Shen Xiaoyue had no choice but to ask him to step aside, took out a piece of letter paper, and wrote down 26 common radicals for him to practice.
"Practice on the slate first. When you feel you have mastered it, write it down on this piece of letter paper. I will come back to check it later."
Hearing that she was going out, Lu Pingan looked up suddenly: “Wife, where are you going?”
"Go talk to Qingqing for a while, and you stay at home and write honestly. If you still write the same way when I come back, don't go to bed tonight." Shen Xiaoyue waved her hand. When she stayed at home, Lu Pingan couldn't concentrate on his studies 100%.
Hu Qingqing was sitting under a tree to rest. When she saw Shen Xiaoyue coming over, she wiped the sweat off her head and jokingly said, "Why didn't Comrade Lu pester you to come with him today?"
She found that Comrade Lu was good in every way except that he was too clingy. How could a woman not have her own life and space?
Although Xiaoyue sent him home most of the time.
Shen Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at her: “Comrade Hu Qingqing, Lu Pingan has already started studying, when will you come.”
Hu Qingqing choked. Ever since Lu Ping'an saw her happily hugging Xiaoyue and kissing her, he had been wary of her like a thief. How could she dare to go to their house openly?
She didn't mean it. Xiaoyue remembered to bring her delicious food when she went to the county town. Who could resist kissing her?
She couldn't anyway.
She smiled awkwardly: "Let's talk about it after the New Year."
Woo woo woo, let her have a good New Year. She is really embarrassed to do something that destroys other people’s world of two.
Shen Xiaoyue calculated that the Chinese New Year would be in February this year, and she remembered that the college entrance examination was in December. Qingqing had a good foundation, so it was still in time.
She just took this opportunity to correct her husband's poor handwriting and lay a good foundation for Siyu Sixia.
She nodded: "Okay, then come when you are free."
