After eating, she did not go back to her room, but moved a small stool and sat under the Chinese toon tree in the corner of the yard. She traced the words on the ground with a wooden stick according to the book she had picked up from the small study.
There was no other way. If she wanted to escape from the ranks of illiterate people, she had to pretend to be well-educated and let the image of her learning to read slowly take root in people's minds.
The second brother Su Yihe walked over with a very smooth wooden handle of a toothbrush.
"Dani, do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, second brother's cooking skills are really good."
Looking at the toothbrush handle that was similar to what he remembered, Su Qiao was a little surprised.
After taking it, she looked at it carefully.
Not only are they similar in appearance, they also feel very smooth and not rough or prickly at all.
Su Yihe was a little embarrassed by the compliment: "Don't compliment me, this thing is simple, I know how to make it after just two glances."
"But no one else would make it as finely as my second brother, and there are beautiful patterns carved on it."
The more Su Qiao looked at it, the more he liked it.
I have gained more confidence in my next plan.
Su Yihe touched his head and said embarrassedly: "This is the pattern I saw Erni embroidering a purse, so I carved it. If you don't like it, I have more here."
As he spoke, he pulled out a handful of uncarved ones from his arms, about ten in total.
Su Qiao's eyes widened: "You did so much?"
Su Yihe smiled and said, "I was afraid that one wouldn't be enough for you, so I made a few more. Anyway, I have nothing to do today."
Su Qiao took it and counted it. Including the carved one, there were exactly eleven.
"It just so happens that we each have one in our family."
"One for each person?" Su Yihe didn't quite understand.
"You'll know in a moment." Su Qiao shook the toothbrush handle at him mysteriously.
Just then, my younger brother Xiao Haozi ran in from the courtyard gate, slightly bent over and holding his chest.
"Xiao Hao, where is what I want?"
"Here it comes, sister, look, I secretly cut this from the cow's tail of the village head."
Xiao Haozi took out a bunch of dark brown hair that he had carefully hidden from his arms with a look of wanting credit.
"Did you cut off the hair from the entire cow's tail?"
She just asked him to get a small handful, but he...
Su Qiao felt it.
It's quite hard and will probably prick your hands after being cut. It's suitable for making toothbrush bristles.
"Humph, who let his Erya trick you into going to the coal mine? I'm going to cut them all off."
Xiao Haozi has been brooding over what happened before.
"Forget it this time, but don't do it next time."
Cutting off the entire tail will not only make it noticeable, but it is also not good for the cow itself.
"oh."
Xiao Haozi was a little unhappy.
"I originally wanted to fight with his dog to avenge you, but my father said that if I dare to fight outside again, I will be sent to a private school."
"… "
How much do you not want to study
Others would never hope for such a good opportunity.
"Why are you picking a fight with Goudan? He's not the one who did the bad thing."
Su Qiao went back to the house, found a pair of small scissors, and started trimming the cow's hair.
Xiao Haozi followed behind like a little tail.
"I don't hit women, so he can only take the blame for his sister. After all, he is the brother of that bad woman Arya."
Su Qiao's mouth twitched.
At such a young age, he already knows not to hit women
It turns out it’s not so muddy!
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Not only Xiao Haozi, but also Su Yihe and Erni who was sweeping the yard were very curious.
"You'll know in a moment."
Su Qiao smiled mysteriously, ran back to the house quickly, and took out a small wooden box from the closet beside the bed.
