Liu Rufeng's stern voice rang out: "Tang Qiqi, are you trying to skip class again?!"
This sentence startled both Yindi and Tang Qiqi.
When Yindi saw Liu Rufeng, she felt a little awkward and quickly bowed her head and said, "Mr. Liu has arrived."

In fact, Yindi and Zhaodi also studied with Mr. Liu at the private school for a while, but they were older than the other students, and the two sisters felt embarrassed, so they didn't go much after that.
Yindi had boldly asked Liu Rufeng for help last time, and to her surprise, Liu Rufeng was quite righteous and went to great lengths to help her family.
Because of this, Yindi sent Liu Rufeng several gifts, all of which were agricultural products from her own farm. Perhaps because they were not valuable, Liu Rufeng accepted them gladly. The two became acquainted.
When Tang Qiqi saw Liu Rufeng, she was like a mouse seeing a cat. She said, "Mr. Liu, you're here to see my second sister, right? Then I'll be going now."
Liu Rufeng said coldly, "Stop right there. How many days have you been away from school?"
Before she could reply, Yindi became anxious and said angrily, "Tang Qiqi, what are you up to? You left early and came back late at night. Didn't you say that Mr. Bei stayed to study? You haven't gone here for so long. Where have you been? Sidi and Niandi are the same. They teamed up to cover for you."
Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Tang Qiqi had no choice but to act cute and coquettishly, saying, "Second sister, don't be angry. I've learned everything Mr. Liu taught me. I have very important things to do, and I really didn't go off to play around."
Liu Rufeng looked at Tang Qiqi meaningfully and said, "What important things could a little kid like you possibly have to do? Tell me."
Tang Qiqi pouted and said, "Why should I tell you about my own family matters? You're not my brother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, the two people next to him froze instantly. This kid was becoming more and more unruly, calling someone "brother-in-law" in front of his own sister. No one would believe he didn't do it on purpose.

Yindi blushed with embarrassment and ran back to her room without even saying goodbye to Liu Rufeng.
Liu Rufeng was also speechless for a long time, but he secretly glanced at Yindi's fleeing figure and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.
I seized the opportunity early on and ran away. Liu Rufeng didn't even move his body; he stretched out his long arm and pulled Tang Qiqi back.
He had already reverted to his strict teacher persona, and said calmly, "Little girl, do you think you can get away with this with a few words of nonsense? Tell me honestly, what have you been doing these past few days?"
Tang Qiqi knew that Liu Rufeng wasn't as easy to deal with as her second sister, so she had no choice but to admit defeat and honestly say:
"My third sister wants to raise sheep, right? Are there any people around here who specialize in processing wool? I just want to find two skilled craftsmen to make two spinning machines and two looms for me!"
Liu Rufeng didn't believe Tang Qiqi's words at all. He smiled and said, "You're quite concerned, aren't you? You're the youngest of the seven sisters in your family. How could this be your responsibility?"
Tang Qiqi said with dissatisfaction, "I'm just a little younger, not stupid. My older sisters all have their own things to do, and I'm the most free. This is something I should have done."
Just as Liu Rufeng was about to say that she wasn't studying properly, Tang Qiqi turned the tables and said, "Mr. Liu, please don't say that my main job is to go to school. I understand everything you're going to say. You just need to teach Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister, and that kid Sun Haotian properly."
Liu Rufeng was once again put up a bad time. He didn't know where Tang Qi had learned so many things, because none of his questions could stump her.
Actually, Tang Qiqi cheated. Whenever she encountered something she didn't know, Tang Qiqi's consciousness returned to the space and activated the omnipotent search engine.
She didn't do this to show off that she was a child prodigy; she just wanted Liu Rufeng to know that she didn't need to be taught anymore.
Sure enough, Liu Rufeng couldn't refute her words. He said helplessly, "Alright, have you found a craftsman yet? When are you going back to the school? If you don't go back soon, Sun Haotian will cause trouble again."
Tang Qiqi said dejectedly, "Don't mention him. There are a few craftsmen in Huaiyuan County who have made spinning wheels, but they can only make traditional spinning wheels and can't make the improved spinning wheel according to my drawings."
Liu Rufeng got excited and said jokingly, "Tang Qiqi, you're really something! You even have improved spinning wheel blueprints. Let me see if you're just bragging."
Tang Qiqi knew that there were many things she would need to improve in the future. Wherever her family's business developed, she would have to search for the corresponding blueprints in her space to make the tools.
The space only contained things from the university town, nothing readily available, and the power problem was a major drawback.
Tang Qiqi foresaw that Liu Rufeng and her second sister were likely to do *that*, so she knew she would have to see these blueprints sooner or later. Tang Qiqi took out the blueprints she had printed out in the space library and handed them over, saying, "Here, this is it!"
Liu Rufeng took the drawing and opened it. His playful expression gradually turned into amazement. He opened his mouth wide and said after a long while, "This...this...this drawing is too detailed. How was it drawn?"
Tang Qiqi looked blank and said, "I don't know, General Liu gave me these blueprints."

Liu Rufeng seemed not to hear Tang Qiqi's words. He carefully studied the blueprint and said, "Brilliant, brilliant! This design can greatly improve weaving efficiency; it's practically a hundred times more efficient than one!"
Tang Qiqi was surprised that this teacher, who only knew classical Chinese, could actually understand the blueprints. She said listlessly, "Aren't those craftsmen stupid? Even you can understand the blueprints, but they say they can't make them. It's so infuriating!"
Liu Rufeng's expression turned extremely ugly. He stared at Tang Qiqi and said, "Little girl, who do you think you are? Even if this blueprint were a little more difficult, I could still understand it. I just enjoy teaching, not that I can only teach!"
Tang Qiqi seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and she quickly put on a look of surprise and admiration, saying, "I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so amazing. Could you make this machine for me?"
Liu Rufeng said frankly, "Little girl, are you trying to provoke me? This thing is indeed quite good. I know someone who should be able to make it, but I don't know if he's willing to come out of seclusion."
Tang Qiqi was overjoyed. She desperately needed a capable craftsman. The plowshare made by Uncle Zhu was barely usable, but the harvester was not up to par. She still needed to ask a professional to come to the rescue!
Tang Qiqi said impatiently, "Who is it? Who is it? Sir, please take me there quickly. No matter how much I beg him, I have to make him help me make the machine. Besides this, there are so many other things to do!"
