Chapter 124 Shuttlecock
Starting from the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Ying's small classroom resumed classes.
During the day, everyone went running under the leadership of Zhao Hu, and at night they read under the guidance of Qin Ying.
An An is too young to participate in running. The Zhou sisters are weak and cannot keep up with the intensity of everyone. It is also difficult for them to get used to running in the eyes of everyone.
Fortunately, the shuttlecocks that Qin Ying had promised were already prepared, and while others were doing morning exercises, the three of them were playing shuttlecock in the yard.
An An saw that the two sisters were unfamiliar with the shuttlecock at first but quickly became proficient, and Zhou Mian could even kick it in various ways, so she thought it was a simple task. However, when she tried it herself, she realized how difficult it was. The shuttlecock was not obedient!
Seeing this, Zhou Mian took his shuttlecock and bent over to give specific instructions, telling An An how to use the force.
It’s just that An An’s limbs are still too new. His brain has learned it, but his hands and feet are not coordinated!
After countless failed attempts, An An angrily threw the shuttlecock to the ground, frowning and saying, "I don't want to learn anymore!"
Seeing this, Zhou Qi came over and said, "It's your Aunt Mian who doesn't know how to teach. Our An An is so smart, right? Let's start with the simple ones. Let's put the shuttlecock on the instep of your feet. Yes, Aunt Qi will help you hold your body, and you practice juggling the shuttlecock first..."
She first picked up the shuttlecock and placed it on the instep of An An's right foot, then stood behind her, supported her, and let her try.
It was still a failure at the beginning, but with Zhou Qi's constant encouragement, An An tried a few more times and finally succeeded a few times. A smile immediately appeared on her face and she looked at Zhou Mian proudly.
Zhou Mian said very flatteringly, "Yes, yes, it's Aunt Mian who doesn't know how to teach, or Aunt Qi who teaches well! An An is awesome!"
Then Zhou Qi slowly tried to hold only one of An An's arms, and only let go when she was able to stand independently and kick by herself, but she also stood nearby to prevent her from losing her balance and falling.
Then she waved at Zhou Mian, signaling her to continue practicing at an angle where An An couldn't see. She still had to teach others how to kick shuttlecock. How could she teach if she didn't practice well herself?
Zhou Mian stuck out his tongue and changed the place to practice.
After kicking for quarter of an hour, An An sweated a lot, so Zhou Qi took her into the house to wipe the sweat off her face and drink some water, and then came out again when she stopped sweating.
When Zhao Hu and his group came back carrying firewood, the three people in the yard were already sweating profusely.
The three members of the Zhao family put their firewood in the firewood shed, and Dashuan and Erya put their firewood outside the yard, and would take it back when they returned home later.
Everyone went into the house one by one to drink some water and wipe off the sweat before coming out to start squatting.
An An and the Zhou sisters were at the end of the group. They didn't need to practice for too long. If they couldn't hold on any longer, they could give up and do something else to exercise their limbs.
After finishing the horse stance, Zhao Hu led the group to start practicing punches and kicks.
The morning exercise is not over until the sun rises high.
Dashuan said hello to Erya, ran out, carried the firewood on his back and ran all the way home.
Everyone in the Zhao family hurried back to the house to wash up. They were sweating all over and would get sick if they didn't change into dry clothes quickly.
Aunt Zhao was very quick and efficient. After she had tidied herself up, she immediately went to make breakfast. Qin Ying helped An An change her clothes and comb her hair before she could take care of herself. Therefore, it was Zhao Hu who lit the fire for Aunt Zhao.
After breakfast, Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying went to the rabbit farm, Zhao Hu asked others to go collect firewood together, and An An was entrusted to the Zhou sisters. The Zhou sisters asked her to recite some simple ancient poems, and then asked her to play with the colorful ropes, or work together to solve the nine-ring puzzle.
After An An was sleepy and they took care of her to sleep, the two sisters got together to discuss what needlework to do after the first month of the lunar year.
Zhou Mian hesitated and asked, "Sister, is it not customary here to avoid needlework during the first month of the lunar year?"
"It seems..." Zhou Qi was also unsure, "How about we wait for Aunt Zhao and Sister Qin to come back and ask them?"
Zhou Mian nodded and sighed, "It feels weird if I don't do something. Let's go to the rabbit farm. I feel like we're just adding to the chaos.
"I was thinking why don't we help Aunt Zhao, Sister Qin, or An An with some needlework? At the very least, we could make a few sandbags for everyone to throw around and play with!"
Zhou Qi asked, "Do you still remember how to sew sandbags?"
"If you don't remember, you can figure it out!" Zhou Mian smiled playfully. "How difficult can it be? I just wonder if they have any nice scraps of cloth here."
"What you said," Zhou Qi pushed her gently, "we have to pay for this ourselves. Didn't you see that they were reluctant to waste even the smallest bit of thread?
"I heard that country folks wouldn't throw away clothes even if they were worn beyond repair. They would stitch them together, apply starch, and make soles out of them."
She touched her sister's head and said, "If a good quilt is made into a sandbag, I'm afraid both Aunt Zhao and Sister Qin will be distressed, right?"
Zhou Mian was a bit troubled: "What should I do?" She finally thought of a solution, but she didn't expect...
"Think about it again," Zhou Qi saw that her sister finally looked lively, and she couldn't bear to see her suffer a setback. "People come up with ideas. Besides, can't we do anything else besides making sandbags?
"We can use the leftover scraps from cutting to make head flowers. As long as we're careful, it will definitely look great!"
Zhou Mian cheered up again, "Yes, I will listen to my sister!"
They brought a lot of clothes when they came, but not much for daily wear. They didn't want to look like different, and they were used to a hard life, so they always felt uncomfortable wearing clothes made of too luxurious materials.
Perhaps out of a desire to compensate, Mr. Zhou prepared clothes for the two sisters that were all made of high-quality materials and had novel and gorgeous styles, but in fact, they were not suitable for wearing in the countryside.
Zhou Qi opened the box and took out a bag of clothes. The two of them spread it out on the kang and began to pick.
After choosing for a long time, I picked out two sets of colors that were not so eye-catching and prepared to re-cut them.
At the very least, the skirt should not be too long and the cuffs should not be too wide. Wide robes and large sleeves will affect daily activities.
Aunt Zhao came back from the rabbit farm and heard that the yard was so quiet. She felt a little strange, so she walked to the window and asked in a low voice.
Zhou Qi quickly got off the kang and let her in.
The clothes spread out on the kang caught Aunt Zhao's eye. "Wow, these clothes are so beautiful! They look just like the clothes fairies wear in paintings!"
Zhou Qi said, "It looks nice, but it's not suitable for wearing here. We're planning to have it altered, but we're worried about it because neither of us knows how to cut."
"What's so difficult about this?" Aunt Zhao said cheerfully, "Your sister Yingzi knows how to do it! Let her teach you later. Didn't you say you wanted to learn needlework from her?
"Er Ya will come over this afternoon, and you can learn together. But let's make it clear first, I'm afraid your sister Yingzi doesn't know how to wear clothes of this style."
Zhou Qi quickly waved her hands: "We don't want to wear something like this either!"
