After eating, she did not go back to her room. Instead, she moved a small bench and sat under the Chinese chrysanthemum tree in the corner of the yard, drawing on the book she picked from Small Study and tracing words on the ground with a wooden stick.
There was no other way. If she wanted to break away from the ranks of illiterates, she had to put on a show and let the image of herself learning to read slowly sink in.
The second brother Su Yihe walked over with a wooden handle of a toothbrush that was planed very smooth.
"Danie, do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, second brother's craftsmanship is really good."
Looking at the toothbrush handle, which was similar to what he remembered, Su Qiao was a little surprised.
After taking it, she looked at it carefully.
Not only do they look similar in appearance, they also feel smooth and not rough at all.
Su Yihe felt a little embarrassed when he was praised, "Don't praise me. This thing is simple. You can do it just by looking at it."
"But others won't do it as finely as my second brother. There are also beautiful patterns carved on it."
Su Qiao The more I watch it, the more I like it.
I have a little more confidence in my next plan.
Su Yihe touched his head, feeling embarrassed. Underground Passage said, "This is the pattern I saw when Ernie was embroidering a purse, so I engraved it. If you don't like it, I have some more."
As he spoke, he took out another handful of unengraved ones from his arms, and there were a dozen of them.
Su Qiao's eyes widened. "Have you done so much?"
Su Yihe smiled, "I was afraid that you wouldn't have enough for one, so I made a few more. Anyway, it will be fine today."
Su Qiao took it and counted it. Together with the engraved one, there were exactly eleven.
"It just so happens that there is one for each person in our family."
"One for each person?" Su Yihe didn't quite understand.
"You'll know in a minute." Su Qiao mysteriously shook the toothbrush handle in his hand at him.
Just then, my younger brother Little Haozi bent slightly and ran in from outside the courtyard with his chest in his arms.
"Xiao Hao, where is what I want?"
"Come on, come on, sister, look, I secretly cut this off the tail of Li Zheng's ox."
Little Haozi took out a bundle of dark brown hair that was carefully hidden from his arms as if he was taking credit.
"Did you cut off the entire hair on the cow's tail?"
She just asked him to get a handful, but he...
Su Qiao touched the hand.
It's quite hard and should prick your hands after being cut, so it's suitable for making toothbrush bristles.
"Hmph, who asked his Erya to trick you into going to Coal Mine? I just want to cut them all off."
Little Haozi has always been worried about what happened before.
"Forget it this time, don't do it next time."
Cutting off the entire tail hair will not only make people notice it, but it is also not good for the cow itself.
"Oh."
Little Haozi is a little unhappy.
"I originally wanted to have a fight with his Goudan to help you get revenge, but dad said that if I dare to fight outside again in the future, he will let me go to a private school to study."
"..."
How much do you not want to study?
No one else could have hoped for such a good opportunity.
"Why are you trying to fight with Goudan? It's not him who caused the trouble."
Su Qiao went back to the house to find a pair of small scissors and began to trim the cow's hair.
Little Haozi follows behind like a little tail.
"I don't hit women, so I can only let him suffer on his sister's behalf. Who makes him the brother of that bad woman Erya?"
Su Qiao's mouth twitched.
You know not to hit women at such a young age?
It turns out it's not too muddy!
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Not only Little Haozi, but also Su Yihe and Ernie who was sweeping the yard were very curious.
"You'll know in a minute."
Su Qiao smiled mysteriously, ran back to the house quickly, and took out Small Wooden Box from the wardrobe beside the bed.
