Chapter 239 Social Practice

It was already late, and the four siblings were yawning. Qin Yao waved, and the family of six carried the lanterns and went home to wash up and go to bed.

Before going to bed, Sanlang and Si Niang placed their parents' and brothers' lanterns together with their own.

Six lanterns were arranged in a row according to size and placed on the bench beside the bed. I would look at them before going to sleep, then I would rest my head on the back of my hands and fall asleep sweetly.

After a good night's sleep, Qin Yao got up early to exercise and felt full of energy.

Liu Ji, who was lying on the floor, was so sore all over that he couldn't get up. He could only send Dalang and Erlang to take the vegetables to the kitchen and ask Aunt Qiu to use the stove to cook breakfast for them.

Seeing his two sons obediently carrying the vegetable baskets and rice and flour, he lay down, changed to a slightly more comfortable position, and took a nap.

Dalang and Erlang each won a wooden hairpin as a prize last night. After breakfast, they saw Qin Yao combing her hair. The two brothers came to her awkwardly with their hands covered. When she was not paying attention, they quickly stuffed the hairpin in their hands into her palm and ran away.

Qin Yao was stunned for a moment, then looked down. There were two plain hairpins carved from rosewood, with colored threads wrapped around the top for embellishment. The gradient color from orange to rose red looked like colorful clouds in the sky.

Although it is just a wooden hairpin, it is ingeniously designed.

"Give it to me?" Qin Yao asked towards the skylight.

The two young boys hiding behind the rocks of the rockery hummed.

Qin Yao looked down at the two wooden hairpins in her palm and smiled, "Thank you, they are really beautiful."

Sanlang and Si Niang ran over, and Si Niang pushed Qin Yao's hand, "Mother, wear it, let me see if it looks good."

Sanlang also looked up expectantly at Qin Yao's hair, which had just been tied up on top of her head but had not yet been wrapped with a headscarf. He covered her little face with both hands, looking forward to seeing her wearing the wooden hairpin.

It is very popular nowadays to wear two hairpins on the same side. Since there is no mirror in front of her, Qin Yao asks her daughter to open her eyes wider and use her big eyes as a mirror to pin the two hairpins on the left side of her bun.

"Wow! It's beautiful!" Si Niang's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but hug A Niang, "A Niang, you look like a fairy."

Qin Yao laughed out loud. Although she knew there was some exaggeration in this sentence, who wouldn't be happy to be praised?

"It's so beautiful?" Qin Yao looked at Sanlang, who was holding his face with his hands as if he was dazed. The little guy nodded wildly, worried that Qin Yao would take the hairpin off, and begged her to keep it on, saying that it looked really, really beautiful that way.

Sanlang is the most honest man, he tells the truth, A-niang looks really good dressed like this!

Qin Yao was too plain in the past, but suddenly her hair had a bit of color, and even her skin looked a bit brighter. In addition, Yao Niang's appearance was already beautiful, and it was hard not to take a second look at her after a little makeup.

Qin Yao laughed out loud and looked up. Dalang and Erlang in the courtyard were also nodding frantically.

Qin Yao reached out and touched her head, then decisively put away the gray and blue headscarf, fulfilling the children's wishes, and said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll wear this from now on."

Dalang and Erlang looked at each other, their faces flushed with excitement. The stepmother was wearing the prize they had won!

Liu Ji was lying on the table with a book in his arms, looking at the five happy mothers and children with resentment, thinking: human emotions are not interlinked, he just thinks they are noisy!

However, although Qin Yao was a vicious woman, she was really beautiful today. Liu Ji couldn't help looking at her several times, and then forced himself to close his eyes.

He was still in pain, he couldn't forgive her so easily!

She closed her eyes, opened them, and closed them again. Then she opened them again. The area in front of the guest room door suddenly became quiet, and the four figures of the mother and daughter had all disappeared.

"Damn it!" Liu Ji slammed his fist on the table, "You didn't even call me when you went out shopping!"

After he finished cursing, his face began to twitch because of the severe pain in his hand.

Liu Ji: I can't even live a single day like this!

The mother and her five children went out with the book boxes.

Qin Yao walked in front, and the four brothers and sisters of Dalang followed behind, dragging their own book boxes.

As soon as they walked out of the inn, the book boxes in the hands of the four brothers and sisters attracted the attention of passers-by.

The bookcase is painted with black lacquer and various patterns on it.

Dalang's is the most functional one, with a secret box for weapons, a place for an umbrella, and a hand warmer. Its overall appearance is relatively low-key.

Sanlang and Si Niang's are a little smaller, which suits their body shapes. The black paint surface is covered with childlike patterns painted with pastel stones picked up from the river. They are colorful, fancy and very cute.

Jilang's book box was added later. It has a place for shoulder straps and a separate small cloth bag for the shoulder straps. It is hung on the side of the wooden box and also serves as a decoration.

Moreover, his bookcase had a foldable table top. If he failed to finish the homework assigned by the teacher yesterday, he could rush to the school gate in advance, take out the table top and finish the homework on the spot before the school opened.

Of course, if a classmate is willing to lend you his or her homework, that's fine too.

The wooden wheels rolled smoothly on the bluestone slabs with a "gurgling" sound. Sanlang and Si Niang were tired and stopped to sit on the book boxes to rest for a while. Then they continued to move forward with A Niang and arrived near the Fucheng Bookstore.

Qin Yao spent ten cents to rent a stall and called the four brothers and sisters over. "Today we are going to do a social practice class. You don't have to write the reading notes tonight."

When they heard that they didn't have to write a review for the evening, the four siblings responded in unison: "Great!"

Qin Yao nodded with satisfaction and started to make arrangements.

Today's topic is letter writing.

This was easy to do. Dalang immediately put the twins' bookcases down to use as stools, and asked Erlang to unfold the table on his bookcase, open the box containing pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and take out the things inside one by one and arrange them in order.

Finally, put your book box behind the table, sit down and start business.

Qin Yao stood by and watched them set up the stall. She saw Dalang choosing among several pens. As the table was not wide enough to display all the pens at the same time, he could only put one on at a time.

"Erlang." Qin Yao called out, and Erlang immediately ran to her.

The clever little fellow had seen through her intention and took the initiative to say:

"Mother, I'll ask my eldest brother to open all the boxes of books. Every compartment is different."

Qin Yao gave Erlang a thumbs up. With teammates like him, who would get rich if not her and her mother?

Qin Yao whispered in Erlang's ear: "Go take out the pencil case from Si Niang's bookcase and fill it with pens for your eldest brother."

Ji Lang smiled and said, "Got it!"

He understood that A Niang was planning to introduce the new product.

Before leaving for the city, Qin Yao left a new blueprint for Carpenter Liu. It was the evolution of the modern pencil case, different from the pull-out pencil case commonly seen here.

Her pencil case is an open and closed type.

There are no hinges here. Metal items are difficult to make and expensive, so she used door hinges to make hinges.
