Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 95 Uninvited Guests

 On Tuesday morning, Zhou Xiaoyun took Xiaobao to school after breakfast as usual. Dabao was impatient to wait for his younger brother and sister to leave alone.

 Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiaobao talked and laughed all the way to school and entered the classroom respectively.

Zhou Xiaoyun sat down in her seat and just opened her schoolbag when she saw Fang Wenchao waving to her outside the classroom to tell her to go out. Zhou Xiaoyun was a little surprised, why didn't Fang Wenchao come into the classroom and talk to her? Mysterious!

When I walked out of the classroom door, I saw that Fang Wenchao was not the only one, but there were two young women standing next to him. One of them is Fang Wenchao's newlywed wife Dai Shuqi, and the other is a little older, about thirty years old. She looks like Dai Shuqi and is fashionably dressed. She is probably Dai Shuqi's sister or something.

Zhou Xiaoyun secretly guessed in his heart that he must not lose his politeness: "Teacher Dai, hello, auntie."

Dai Shuqi smiled sweetly, her young face filled with the shy joy of a newlywed: "Wenchao, is this the doll made by this child? She seems to be a very well-behaved and quiet girl that people like."

There was a look of pride on Fang Wenchao's face: "Of course, it doesn't matter who his student is. Zhou Xiaoyun is not only capable of this, he can almost keep up with me in playing the harmonica, and he is also quite good at playing the accordion. Practice. I have been practicing calligraphy for more than two years, and I have never ranked second in my grade!”

 Can you not be proud? This is his proud disciple.

Zhou Xiaoyun was so embarrassed that he was praised. How could he praise someone in person like this? It seems that I am still too thin-skinned. I feel uncomfortable when I hear others praise me. She quickly changed the subject: "Teacher Fang, do you have anything to do with me?"

Fang Wenchao and Dai Shuqi looked at each other, and finally Fang Wenchao spoke: "Oh, that's right. Didn't you make a pair of dolls for me two months ago? I took the dolls back at that time, and Shuqi liked them very much. I put the doll on the bedside for two days. Shuqi’s sister is this aunt.”

Fang Wenchao pointed at the fashionable girl: "She saw it when she came to our house to play. She liked the handmade doll you made very much and wanted to come to you to ask how the doll was made."

The fashionable girl smiled at Zhou Xiaoyun: "Hello, kid, my name is Dai Shuping. I opened a gift boutique in the county, selling some handicrafts and the like. I saw the doll you made and thought it was very good. I want to talk to you."

Zhou Xiaoyun then realized that he was interested in the doll he had made.

She was a little embarrassed: "Teacher Fang, are you talking about it here?"

Fang Wenchao slapped his head: "Look at me, let's go to my dormitory and talk. Let's sit down and talk."

As the group walked, they came to Fang Wenchao's dormitory. Fang Wenchao still had classes in the first period, so he asked Zhou Xiaoyun to chat with Dai Shuqi and his sisters in the dormitory before going to class.

 Dai Shuping is indeed a businessman, he always picks up nice things to say, and soon he became familiar with Zhou Xiaoyun. At first, she talked to Xiaoyun one by one, but Zhou Xiaoyun had to call her Sister Shuping.

Zhou Xiaoyun was grateful but not sensitive, thinking that if I call you a woman in her 10s or 30s, wouldn’t it be a big loss for me to call you sister? In my previous life, I was twenty-eight and three years have passed in this life. In terms of actual age, I am a bit older than you!

Dai Shuping went around and around and finally got to the point: "Xiaoyun, I am a straight-tempered person, and I will speak up if I have anything to say. The business of this store I opened has always been good, and I sell high-priced handicrafts that are all fashionable. "Young man. I think the doll you made is exquisite and cute. It would be a good prospect if you could sell it in my store."

Zhou Xiaoyun thought for a while before replying: "It takes me about a day and a half to make a pair of these dolls, and I can't do anything else during this day and a half. I definitely don't have time to be busy with such things for a long time. I still have to go back to school." I have to do housework for my mother and I want to practice calligraphy and accordion when I have time!”

 In fact, the real reason is that in her previous life, she was a skilled female worker in a toy factory. No matter how good her craftsmanship was, she was still a hard-working woman who earned a salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month. She doesn't want to make the same mistakes again in this life. It's okay to do it once or twice occasionally, but she doesn't want to do it in the long term.

 She is more attracted to the route of a young woman with a diploma who studies seriously and grows up.

Dai Shuping was not anxious at all when she was rejected, and put forward better conditions to attract her: "You don't have to do a lot, just make two or three pairs for me a week. The price is easy to negotiate. I can give you five yuan for a pair." !”

 This price is really attractive. Zhou Xiaoyun woke up from the colorful banknotes and shook his head with difficulty.

Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't bear Dai Shuping's disappointed look. After all, she was Fang Wenchao's sister-in-law. Wouldn't it be nice to stop blaming Fang Wenchao?

Zhou Xiaoyun proposed a compromise plan: "Let's do this. I can teach you how to make dolls. Once you learn how to make dolls yourself, you can sell them."

"Really?" Dai Shuping was overjoyed, but then hesitated: "However, I am very busy buying goods and looking at the store all day long, so I may not have time to do it..."

Dai Shuqi interjected at this time: "Sister, how about I help you! This doll is just for sale. It is not a daily necessity. You can sell it as much as you make."

This proposal was very popular with Dai Shuping, and they agreed to come back to study this Sunday, so the two sisters hurried back to the city.

Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't help but admire Dai Shuping. Look at this shrewd woman, she will definitely make a fortune in the future.

 A few years later, Dai Shuping, who became famous for his exquisite handmade dolls, asked Zhou Xiaoyun if he regretted letting the opportunity to make a fortune pass that day. Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and said that he would never regret it.

Who can understand Zhou Xiaoyun's complicated psychology and his desire to stay away from this doll that he loves and hates at the same time?

 On Sunday, Dai Shuqi and Dai Shuping came as expected, and Fang Wenchao naturally became the flower protector. The location was originally set to be Fang Wenchao's dormitory, but the place was too small, and there were so many people there that I felt uncomfortable.

Zhou Xiaoyun suggested going to his home. Fang Wenchao hesitated for a while: "Would it be too intrusive..."

Zhou Xiaoyun quickly took over the conversation: "Teacher Fang, you must not be polite, just treat it as if you are here to play at my house! My parents have gone to the market to sell pork, and we are the only brothers and sisters at home. I am afraid that you will not come to our house." It’s a habit!”

　　 Speaking of this, the refusal was too pretentious, so the group walked for ten minutes to Zhou Xiaoyun's house.

Dabao and Xiaobao were playing in the yard. They all knew Fang Wenchao and honestly shouted "Hello, Teacher Fang." Erya followed him to the market and was not at home, so he went to Zhou Xiaoyun's house.

 Fang Wenchao came here for the first time and admired Zhou Xiaoyun's boudoir when he looked at it. He especially liked the pots of wild flowers on the window sill. I am full of praise for Zhou Xiaoyun's creativity of using porcelain bowls to make small flowerpots.

Zhou Xiaoyun saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, thinking that Fang Wenchao would have to give away two pots when he left.

Dai Shuping’s handwork is very good. After Zhou Xiaoyun’s explanation and demonstration, he can basically understand it. The rest is mainly a matter of practice. The two sisters sat on stools and chatted while making dolls. They praised Zhou Xiaoyun greatly during their conversation.

Zhou Xiaoyun has always been unable to resist compliments, so he said to Fang Wenchao: "Teacher Fang, please sit here for a while while I go cook." Then he ran out.
