Chapter Forty-Nine: Preparing Gifts

Concubine Tao looked at the eager eyes of her classmates, gritted her teeth and drank a jar of pear water.

The kids grinned, and they felt like they had done something amazing.

They like this good-sounding, good-tempered, good-looking and beautiful teacher Tao, who never physically punishes them, nor yells at them fiercely, making them nervous, and they won't do the questions they would have done.

Mr. Tao will not read from the book, but will explain simple math very interestingly, and even make up numbers into short stories, so that they can find the answers in the stories.

Concubine Tao didn't know if it was the mental effect, or if the pear water was really good, after a class, she didn't feel uncomfortable in her throat at all, and when she arrived at the office, she still felt that her throat was sweet in her eyes.

Meng Chunxiao didn't come to work today, but Sun Jiali came, sitting at the desk in a daze in a bad mood.

There are still a few teachers in the office who are still talking about New Year's Day: "Teacher Meng has taken a leave of absence, what about the program on New Year's Day this year?" ”

"Didn't she just take a day off?"

"No, I heard that she took a leave of absence from the principal, and she didn't participate in the performance of the army this year.

"What then?" One of the teachers said and looked at Concubine Tao: "Teacher Tao, what about you?" You have a good voice, and you should sing well. ”

When Concubine Tao heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand: "I can't do it, I can't sing all five notes, if I sing a chorus, it's okay." Socially, she never disagrees, but she never wants to be the first one.

"What are you afraid of, you look good, just go there and stop, even if you sing out of tune, it's fine."

Tao Feimo, everything can be forgiven for being good.

Seeing that Concubine Tao didn't answer, a few people didn't try to persuade them, and they planned to make a small chorus or something.

The little chorus Concubine Tao agreed to participate, and everyone sang together, as long as she didn't show up and stand first.

This discussion delayed a little, and by the time the song was decided, it was already half an hour after school.

Concubine Tao thought about it for a while, and the lunch time of the troops was over, so she simply bought a bag of instant noodles and cooked them at home, and then took a nap.

After arriving home, Zhou Cangnan was not there, but there were two lunch boxes on the coffee table.

Concubine Tao was a little puzzled, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a lunch box full of braised pork!

There is also a lunch box with half rice and half stir-fry.

Today, there will be a meal in the army canteen on Friday, and each company will have meat and chicken, and Zhou Cangnan and their squadron will have a better meal, and it is a Han meal, which is very appetizing to Concubine Tao.

Touching the still warm lunch box, Concubine Tao grinned happily and went to wash her hands and eat.

While eating, she thought, Zhou Cangnan is so good to her, she should also help Zhou Cangnan do something, or give a small gift?

Let's cook, Zhou Cangnan's craftsmanship is better than her, give gifts, she can't afford to give expensive ones, and I'm afraid that people will look down on cheap ones.

Especially when giving gifts to men, it is easy for people to misunderstand if they are not careful.

Concubine Tao bit her chopsticks and looked at the military uniform hanging on the balcony last week, and suddenly it occurred to her that she could weave a collar for Zhou Cangnan to protect the collar, because their winter uniforms were made of special deformed chemical fiber imitation wool fabrics, and they were sent to dry cleaning every time.

Many officers are afraid that the collar will be dirty and difficult to wash, so they will ask their family members to help weave a two-finger-wide white collar and sew it on the inside of the collar, so that after wearing it, tie the style button, and you will not see the white collar inside.

Concubine Tao saw that there were many people, but Zhou Cangnan didn't have them, so her mind moved, so she just knitted two of them.

When the time comes to learn from Jiang Xuemei, aren't they very enthusiastic about matching her with Zhou Cangnan? Let them see her weaving a collar for Zhou Cangnan, and they will definitely be relieved, and they will not think of any way to bring them together.

The more I think about it, the more I think this method is very good and convincing!

Concubine Tao deceived herself after eating, washed the lunch box, and didn't care about resting, so she went to the town to buy the finest white wool and crochet needles.

It was still early to arrive at the office, and Teacher Wu came early, carving extracurricular homework for the students, looking at the wool and crochet in Concubine Tao's hand: "Xiao Tao can still hook things?" ”

"No, I just want to learn." Concubine Tao smiled and raised the wool in her hand: "I bought a little bit and prepared to practice my hands." "When I was in high school and college, there were girls in the dormitory who knitted scarves for their boyfriends, knitted scarves, and folded paper cranes. These made Concubine Tao, who didn't have a boyfriend, disdainful, and felt that she had lowered her style too much, so why should she lower her body to learn this? And then the other party didn't necessarily like it, and she didn't see a few of the boys who received the scarf wearing them.

So I really can't do anything at this time, and I'm ready to study with an open mind.

"What do you want to tick? I teach you. After Mr. Wu finished speaking, she hurriedly went to wash her hands and came over, she still likes the girl Concubine Tao, although she is a substitute teacher, but she is very stable and really good to students.

Concubine Tao was happy: "That's really good, but Mr. Wu, don't dislike me for being stupid." ”

Teacher Wu smiled softly: "What kind of stupid thing to say, who is born with this." As he spoke, he took crochet and wool and taught Concubine Tao how to hold crochet and how to start......

It started with a simple single-sided telescopic needle.

This is relatively simple, Concubine Tao has seen it a few times, and she can hook it when she gets started, but her fingers are not very skillful, and it is easy to poke her fingers.

Teacher Wu smiled and encouraged: "It's good, I wasn't as good as you when I was a girl, look at your slender and beautiful fingers, and your hands must be dexterous." ”

Concubine Tao was only grinning when she was praised, she was really worthy of praise, she was not even as good as Zhou Cangnan in needlework.

When He Jing came to work, she saw the crochet needle and fine white wool in Concubine Tao's hand, and immediately understood what it was for. ”

"Hmm." Concubine Tao didn't feel embarrassed, anyway, they are now husband and wife in the eyes of outsiders, and it is not right to do this.

"Talent? Wait until you practice this telescopic needle first, and I'll teach you how to weave patterns on the collar. He Jing said enthusiastically, it seems that the rumors from the family home are false, saying that Concubine Tao doesn't want to live with Zhou Cangnan, and is bent on divorce.

Looking at it this way now, it is estimated that the two places used to live separately, and there was nothing to do when they lived together.

The news that Concubine Tao gave Zhou Cangnan to weave the collar, and in a weekend, the family of the artillery camp knew about it.

Of course, these parties didn't know, and they were still immersed in the enthusiasm for learning, and they didn't have classes or write lesson plans in the afternoon, and they kept weaving and dismantling.

By the time she got off work, Concubine Tao had already mastered the basic hooking techniques and was ready to practice again at home on the sixth day, but she didn't expect that when she went home, Zhou Cangbei and Su Yang were there.
