Zhou Xiaoyun took a liking to this color at once, it's elegant and pleasing to the eye, the fabric also looks much better than floral cloth.

  The forty-year-old woman selling fabric smiled and said, "Hey, this little girl has a good eye. This material is of good quality and the color is beautiful, they're all sold out, only this one piece left."

  Zhao Yuzhen held the flower cloth she had picked out and saw that Zhou Xiaoyun had also picked a piece of cloth, which was somewhat strange: "Dai, what are you doing with this cloth? I've already bought the door curtain cloth."

  Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Mom, I quite like this color. How about using this piece of cloth for the door curtain in my room?"

  Zhao Yuzhen hesitated for a while after hearing the price quoted by the cloth seller, but it was much more expensive than the flower cloth she had in her hand!

  Zhou Xiaoyun found that the best way to deal with her own mother was to be coquettish and persistent. She made an effort to show off all the goosebumps on her body to Zhao Yujuan: "Mom, just buy it for me, okay? I really love this color so much! In the future, if the door curtain gets dirty, I'll wash it myself, can't you promise me that?"

  The cloth seller chimed in: "Sister, the kid likes it so much, two more cents is just two more cents, why not buy it? It's really good fabric, you won't regret buying it."

  Zhou Xiaoyun's words brought back memories for Zhao Yuzhen, and in front of her eyes, the scene of Zhou Xiaoyun squatting on the ground washing clothes for the whole family reappeared, as well as the persuasion to buy cloth, and finally she bought it with a heavy heart.

  As wished, Zhou Xiaoyun excitedly hugged Zhao Yuzhen tightly, and when Zhao Yuzhen saw the bright smile on Zhou Xiaoyun's small face, she began to feel that the money was well spent.

  After returning home, Zhao Yuzhen was busy making door curtains. Zhou Xiaoyun's handicrafts were actually much better than her own mother's. She had formally studied in a garment factory before and had worked in a toy factory for several years, dealing with needles and threads every day.

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

  So Zhou Xiaoyun had no choice but to wait anxiously beside Zhao Yuzhen as she slowly bustled about.

  The door curtain was hung at the door of Zhou Xiaoyun's room, and the milky white door curtain had a luster. The thick and smooth fabric made people feel very comfortable when they looked up. Zhou Xiaoyun lifted the curtain and walked back and forth several times, looking beautiful.

  However, this door curtain seems a bit monotonous. How can I make it look better?

  Zhou Xiaoyun racked her brains, trying to tidy up the room without spending any money, which gave her a headache.

  Got it!

  Zhou Xiaoyun, who had thought of a way, went to find the old calendar in excitement. As it happened, there was a landscape calendar at home that had been used two years ago and was now useless, piled up in the cabinet!

  This calendar was brought back from San Francisco when I went home, otherwise my family would definitely buy a small calendar for a few dollars, how could Zhao Yu Zhen's personality possibly buy a calendar that costs several dollars?

  There are thirteen beautiful landscape pictures of famous mountains and rivers on the calendar, which Zhou Xiaoyun disassembled. She carefully cut them into long strips with a small knife, then folded the strips into diamond or star shapes, and put the finished products in a bag for later processing.

  Xiao Bao and Er Ya see their sister busy and happily follow behind "helping"!

  After a while, Zhou Xiaoyun, whose headache was getting worse due to the disturbance, saw that Xiao Bao had torn another colored calendar paper and finally burst out: "Xiao Bao, take Er Ya somewhere else to play and stop causing trouble here."

  Xiao Bao pouted: "Sister, I'm helping you, why do you say I'm causing trouble? My hands hurt from folding so much, look, I folded a lot."

  Look at his self-righteous expression!

  Zhou Xiaoyun looked at the strange pile of things in front of Xiao Bao and couldn't help but laugh and cry, completely giving up: "Xiao Bao, you've been busy for half a day, you must be tired, go rest. Sister can handle it alone."

  Xiao Bao shook his head and said: "No way, I want to help you with things, can't let you be busy alone here."

  Neither soft nor hard tactics worked, Zhou Xiaoyun had no choice but to surrender. Let him go then, she didn't want anything he could get out of it anyway.

  Er Ya was also enthusiastically folding and unfolding beside him, Xiao Bao could still manage to fold out some shapes, but Er Ya was purely playing around and completely wasting paper.

  Zhou Xiaoyun had no choice but to pretend she hadn't seen it and continued folding paper.

  After an afternoon of "joint" efforts by the three, they finally used up all the paper. A pile of beautiful diamond and star shapes was Zhou Xiaoyun's masterpiece, while the crooked and twisted ones that didn't look like anything were Xiao Bao's work, and the big pile of waste paper on the ground was Er Ya's magnum opus.

  Little Treasure is quite satisfied with his labor achievement: "Sister, look at how well I've folded it."

  Zhou Xiaoyun suppressed her smile and nodded solemnly.

  Xiao Bao rubbed his hands together with a pleased expression: "What's next?"

  Zhou Xiaoyun picked up the needle and thread, her hands moving deftly and quickly: "I'll take over from here, you just wait aside."

  Xiao Bao looked at Zhou Xiaoyun threading the needle and estimated that he couldn't do it himself, so he gave up on the idea of "helping" and sat down with Er Ya to watch Zhou Xiaoyun work.

  Zhou Xiaoyun strung together the folded diamond shapes one by one, leaving some distance between each pair, and roughly finished a string about one meter long. Then she did the same with the star shapes. Before long, she had strung up over ten strings.

  Finally, thread by thread, the creases of the folded paper reached the top of the door curtain.

  Mission accomplished!

  Zhou Xiaoyun admired her masterpiece with satisfaction, and saw that the white door curtain hung down to ten centimeters above the ground. On the curtain were hung a dozen or so diamond-shaped or star-shaped green folded papers, which looked exceptionally beautiful.

  Xiao Bao and Er Ya exclaimed in unison: "Wow!"

  Zhou Xiaoyun smiled with pursed lips.

  Xiao Bao was disobedient and insisted on having Zhou Xiaoyun string together the ones he had folded.

  Zhou Xiaoyun manually picked out some of the relatively straight ones, this time not stringing them into a long strip but linking them into a circle. After finishing, she hung it on Xiao Bao's neck, and surprisingly, it didn't look bad.

  "Er Ya looked and her eyes lit up: 'Sister, I want one too.'"

  I knew she would say that, Zhou Xiaoyun rolled her eyes and made a necklace for her sister as well.

  Xiao Bao and Er Ya held hands and went to Zhao Yu Zhen's place to play.
