Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 70 Decorating the Boudoir (2)

Zhou Xiaoyun fell in love with this color at first glance. It is very elegant and eye-catching, and the fabric looks much better than calico.

The 40-year-old woman selling cloth smiled and said: "Oh, this little girl has really good taste. This kind of material is of good quality, color and beautiful. All of them are sold out, and this is the only one left."

Zhao Yuzhen took the flower cloth she had chosen and was a little surprised when she saw Zhou Xiaoyun also picked a piece of cloth: "Da Ya, what are you doing with this cloth? I've already bought the door curtain cloth."

Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Mom, I really like this color. Otherwise, I can use this cloth for the door curtain of my house!"

Zhao Yuzhen hesitated for a long time after hearing the price quoted by the cloth seller. It was much more expensive than the floral cloth she had!

Zhou Xiaoyun found that the best way to deal with her mother was to act like a coquettish girl and use her coquettish skills. She vigorously shook off the goosebumps all over her body and worked **** Zhao Yuzhen: "Mom, just buy it for me. I really like this color. From now on, if the door curtain gets dirty, can I wash it myself? Please promise me to buy it!”

　　The cloth seller chatted next to him: "Sister, my child likes it so much. It's only two cents more than it is. Buy it. It's really good cloth. You won't regret it if you buy it."

What Zhou Xiaoyun said brought back Zhao Yuzhen's memories. She seemed to see Zhou Xiaoyun squatting on the ground washing clothes for the whole family again. With the persuasion of selling cloth, she finally reluctantly bought it.

Zhou Xiaoyun got his wish and hugged Zhao Yuzhen happily. Zhao Yuzhen saw the bright smile on Zhou Xiaoyun's little face and began to feel that the money was worth spending.

After returning home, Zhao Yuzhen got busy making door curtains. Zhou Xiaoyun was actually much better at handicrafts than her mother. After all, she had formally studied in a clothing factory before and stayed in a toy factory for a few years, working with needlework all day long.

However, she didn't dare to show her hand at this time.

Hence, Zhou Xiaoyun had to wait eagerly for Zhao Yuzhen to get busy.

The finished door curtain was hung at the door of Zhou Xiaoyun's room. The milky white door curtain was shiny, and the thick and smooth fabric made people look comfortable. Zhou Xiaoyun raised the door curtain and walked back and forth for a few times. It was so beautiful.

However, this door curtain seems a bit monotonous. How to make it more beautiful?

Zhou Xiaoyun thought hard, and it took a lot of her brain to clean up the room without spending any money.

 There is it!

Having thought of a way, Zhou Xiaoyun excitedly went to find an old wall calendar. There happened to be a landscape calendar at home that was used the year before last and was piled on the cabinet without any use at all!

This calendar was brought back by my third uncle when he returned home. Otherwise, the family would definitely have bought a small calendar. With Zhao Yuzhen’s personality, how could she buy a calendar that cost just a few dollars?

There are thirteen pictures in the wall calendar including the cover. On the top are pictures of beautiful scenery of famous mountains and rivers. Zhou Xiaoyun took apart the calendar. Use a knife to carefully cut into long strips, and then fold the long strips into diamond or star shapes. Put the folded items into the bag and put them away for final processing.

 Xiaobao and Erya saw their sister being very busy and followed behind to "help"!

After a while, Zhou Xiaoyun, who had a headache from being disturbed, finally broke out when he saw Xiaobao breaking another strip of colored calendar paper: "Xiaobao, you and Erya go somewhere else to play and stop making trouble like this."

Xiaobao pouted: "Sister, I'm helping you, how can you say I'm causing trouble? My folding hands hurt. Look, I folded a lot."

Look at how confident he is!

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at the pile of strange things in front of Xiaobao and couldn't laugh or cry, and completely apologized: "Xiaobao, you must be tired after working for a long time. Go and have a rest. Sister can fold it by herself."

 Xiaobao shook his head and said, "No, I want to help you with things. I can't let you work here alone."

 Housed by both soft and hard tactics, Zhou Xiaoyun had no choice but to surrender. Let him go. At most, he won't want anything he folds out.

Erya was also folding the paper enthusiastically. Xiaobao could still make some shapes after all, but Erya was just wasting the paper just for fun.

 Zhou Xiaoyun had no choice but to pretend he didn't see it and continued to fold the paper.

 After an afternoon of "joint" efforts by the three of them, the paper was finally officially used up. The pile of beautiful rhombuses and stars is Zhou Xiaoyun's masterpiece, while the crooked and indistinguishable shape is Xiaobao's work, and the last pile of waste paper on the ground is Erya's masterpiece.

Xiaobao is quite satisfied with the results of his labor: "Sister, look at how beautiful I am."

Zhou Xiaoyun held back his laughter and nodded seriously.

Xiaobao rubbed his hands proudly: "What are we going to do next?"

Zhou Xiaoyun picked up the needle and thread with skillful and quick skills: "I'll do it next, you stay next to me."

Xiaobao looked at Zhou Xiaoyun's threading movements and estimated that he really couldn't do it, so he gave up the idea of ​​"helping". He and Erya obediently brought a small bench and sat at the table to watch Zhou Xiaoyun at work.

Zhou Xiaoyun strung the folded rhombuses one by one, leaving some distance between each two. One of them was about one meter long, and then he did the same thing with the star-shaped ones. After a while, there were more than ten strings strung together.

 Finally, the origami threads were strung one by one to the top of the door curtain.

 It’s done!

Zhou Xiaoyun proudly admired his masterpiece, only to see the milky white door curtain hanging down ten centimeters from the ground. There are more than a dozen colorful origami strips in the shape of diamonds or stars hanging on the door curtain, which is indescribably unique and beautiful.

 Xiaobao and Erya exclaimed at the same time: "Wow!"

Zhou Xiaoyun pursed his lips and smiled.

Xiaobao didn't want to listen anymore, so he asked Zhou Xiaoyun to string up the broken ones as well.

Zhou Xiaoyun started to pick out the more formal ones. This time, they were not strung into long strips but connected into a circle. After it's done, hang it around Xiaobao's neck. Don't tell me, it's really not bad.

Erya’s eyes lit up after seeing it: “Sister, I want it too.”

Knowing that she would definitely say this, Zhou Xiaoyun rolled his eyes. I also made a necklace for my sister.

Xiaobao and Erya went to Zhao Yuzhen's place hand in hand to enjoy themselves.
