42: Chapter 43 _1 42: Chapter 43 _1 Ah, forget it, a rainy day is most suitable for sleeping, maybe I can sleep the whole afternoon.
But after two hours, Qiao Duo’er opened her eyes.
Although she got up early in the morning, she also went to bed early at night, so she couldn’t sleep for such a long time during the day.
Qiao Duo’er sighed again, without a book, how would she kill this boring time?
Without any entertainment devices, she could only chat with Tan Zhenghong.
“Don’t you ever get bored?” Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but ask.
This guy, with his broken leg, spent all day in bed; had it been her, she would have gone mad by now.
Tan Zhenghong’s hands were moving swiftly as he spoke, “Not really.
You have been busy these past few days, it’s a good time to take a break now.”
Qiao Duo’er pouted, she didn’t feel tired at all!
So, she simply sat up and watched Tan Zhenghong making things.
This fella was really versatile, he seemed capable of everything, from farming to hunting and even weaving baskets.
Why did she feel like she found a treasure?
“How about I teach you?” Tan Zhenghong glanced at Qiao Duo’er.
Qiao Duo’er immediately shook her head; she was not interested in that and didn’t want to learn.
Tan Zhenghong didn’t push her.
He only made the suggestion because he saw that she was truly dying of boredom.
Suddenly, Qiao Duo’er saw the quilt wrapped around Tan Zhenghong and remembered that she wanted to make him a pair of trousers.
Qiao Duo’er grabbed a piece of blue cloth, along with scissors and needle and thread.
With her limited skills, she couldn’t make briefs, so she cut the cloth in the style of beach shorts; as long as the leg openings were wide enough, he would be able to wear them.
Next came sewing.
She wasn’t skilled in needlework, but her original body was, so this didn’t pose a difficulty for her.
Qiao Duo’er sewed stitch by stitch, and after more than an hour, the beach shorts were almost done.
The last step was to attach the elastic band.
But in those times, there were no elastic bands, so she had to sew a thin strip of cloth as a drawstring; just pull it tight and tie a knot after wearing it.
Making a drawstring was a hassle for the maker and the wearer, but that was the only option.
After half an hour, the ancient-style beach shorts were completed.
“Try these on.” Qiao Duo’er handed the shorts to Tan Zhenghong.
Tan Zhenghong looked embarrassed; he had never seen such short trousers before, and most importantly, his legs couldn’t bend—how was he supposed to wear them?
Qiao Duo’er could only lift the quilt at Tan Zhenghong’s feet, helping him slip his legs in.
The rest was up to Tan Zhenghong.
Qiao Duo’er turned around, and only when Tan Zhenghong had finished did she turn back.
“Does it feel uncomfortable?”
Qiao Duo’er asked responsibly; she made it, so she had to take care of the customer experience, right?
Tan Zhenghong shook his head, “It’s just too short.”
“What’s the problem with your legs being out?
It’s cooler that way!”
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes at Tan Zhenghong, what’s there for a grown man to be shy about?
She used to be a devoted fan of ultra-short shorts because they were very cool.
When she gets her own room in the future, she will also try making ultra-short shorts.
Thinking it over, Tan Zhenghong still pulled the quilt over himself, but now he was a lot more casual about it.
