Chapter 165: Chapter 165: No Small Harm Chapter 165: Chapter 165: No Small Harm She deftly chopped two types of greens and asked Stone to clean the mushrooms he had brought back. On the other side, Lu Yichen had also finished processing the rabbit.
After stewing the rabbit at, she then served the rice from another pot and quickly stir-fried dry string beans and a dish called ‘earthly delights.’ By the ti these two vegetable dishes were ready, the mushroom and rabbit stew was almost done.
After dinner, Lu Yichen started to clear away the dishes and wash them, while Luo Qiao checked Stone’s howork.
Once Lu Yichen had finished washing the dishes and ca out of the kitchen, he rembered what Luo Qiao had said earlier; he was particularly curious about how Ding Xiangdong had managed to offend her.
Seeing that Luo Qiao was reluctant to talk about it before, and finding himself unable to broach the topic again, he felt sowhat frustrated.
He certainly couldn’t go and ask Ding Xiangdong, but he could tell from Luo Qiao’s words that today’s matter with the house definitely wasn’t sothing Ding had helped with.
It seed the words from his battalion commander were true; Ding Xiangdong was the type who liked to take advantage, always trying to claim credit for good deeds.
Seeing Stone take his book to recite his lessons, he went over to Luo Qiao, “Does the house need any repairs? I know so people in the construction business I can introduce to you if you need it.”
After listening to Lu Yichen, Luo Qiao tilted her head and gave him a glance, “Better not, the people you introduce aren’t all reliable. I can’t handle it if I encounter another clueless person.”
His words left Lu Yichen feeling extrely dejected; what on earth was all this about? Ding Xiangdong had really hurt soone this ti, and he had been completely crossed off Lu Yichen’s list of people to associate with.
Seeing that Luo Qiao wasn’t interested, Lu Yichen didn’t know what else to say. After all, she wasn’t wrong. From her expression at the mont, she must have been upset because of Ding Xiangdong.
Having finished reciting his lessons, Stone ca over to Luo Qiao to have his work checked, “Sister Luo Qiao, I will finish the first-grade books by self-learning in another week. Today, I borrowed second-grade books from Er Gou in the village.”
Luo Qiao asked, “Did he agree?”
Stone replied with a smile, “Yeah, Er Gou said it’s no problem to lend the books to . But he said I’m not allowed to laugh at him after getting the books.”
Luo Qiao was puzzled, “Laugh at him for what?”
Stone burst out laughing, “Er Gou said he’d eaten quite a bit of that book. The words are all still there, but it’s pretty tattered.”
Luo Qiao ended up laughing as well, reminded of a classmate from her elentary school days back in her previous life. It was a sight to behold, how a new book would lose its cover within just a few days.
Less than ten days into the new school term, the first few pages would already be missing corners and edges. The teacher had many communications with his parents about it, and even if the new books were covered, they didn’t last long before looking rough again.
It was likely that Er Gou was the sa, but it was unclear who would win between the two.
Luo Qiao said, “You can’t be like Er Gou. You have to take good care of your books.”
Standing up, Stone earnestly responded, “Sister Luo Qiao, I’ll rember that. I’ll definitely keep the textbooks clean and intact.”
Lu Yichen saw the two chatting enthusiastically, “Stone, let’s go.”
Stone followed with a laugh, “Coming, coming, Brother Lu, wait for .”
Just as Lu Yichen was about to leave the house, he ntioned, “By the way, soone from the county and the school might co over tomorrow. Just so you’re prepared.”
Luo Qiao looked up, “How do you know?”
Lu Yichen, already heading out, answered, “Jiang Feng told .”
In Ji City, at the Luo Family’s house, they were eating dinner when a resonant knocking sound ca from the door.
Big Sister Qiao Juan from the main house spoke with so annoyance, “Who is that? Aren’t they afraid their hand will hurt, knocking so loudly?”
