Yulan came home humming a familiar ballad, Yumei had already found out what she was going to use, and to her delight, there was a big red oxford cloth with small white polka dots, one meter square, enough to make a backpack.

But first ask if the cloth is of any other use, so as not to be scolded. Yulan took the cloth and asked Yumei, "Sister, is this cloth useless?"

"Oh, this, grandma gave it, she said it was useless, so she gave it to you. ”

Magnolia was relieved. She flipped through the old clothes in her hand, there were jade books, there were jade plums, dark and light colors.

After finding a sewing basket from her grandmother's room and picking out a few small bundles of wool of various colors, Magnolia was ready to start making pencil cases first.

Magnolia chose khaki, navy blue, and army green old clothes, and cut three pieces of the same size cloth each. The dimensions are drawn according to the size of the pencil case, so it doesn't take much effort. She threaded the needle with her hands and feet, and soon the three pencil cases were sewn properly. Button one side of the closure is nailed, and the other side is covered with buttonholes, and a simple handmade pencil case is ready.

After making the pencil case, Magnolia cut a few small pieces of cloth and made a cartoon cow pattern on the front of the navy blue pencil case. The cartoon cow in the pose of a beckoning cat has white and black eyes, a bulging belly, and is very cute.

On the khaki pencil case, Magnolia embroiders a cartoon cat with a stick pen in brown and black wool. The chubby kitten's smiling face makes people can't help but be happy at first sight.

There was an army-green pencil case left, and Magnolia directly used a black line to outline a clump of bluegrass-like patterns in the lower right corner. This pencil case Magnolia is ready to be kept for yourself.

Magnolia stretched and looked at the messy room she had made, a little embarrassed. However, there was still a backpack that she hadn't started to make, and Magnolia didn't know if she could finish it tonight, so she just put things away a little and avoided the mess and walked out of the room.

Downstairs, Yumei was already calling for dinner.

Everyone is here, just waiting for her.

Yulan hurriedly went downstairs and saw Yumei feeding Xiaoyuzhu rice cereal.

Xiao Yuzhu has eight teeth, but her eating is still different from that of adults.

A-Niang grinded the flour with white rice, and when she wanted to eat it, she mixed it with warm water, and then added a little sugar to stew it over the water. The stewed rice cereal is soft and glutinous, sweet and delicious. Yulan remembered that she had robbed her little sister of her rations not long ago, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

She touched Yuzhu's sparse hair, and climbed onto the bench and sat down by herself without Yumei's help.

The meal was eaten quietly, and only the soft sound of chopsticks and spoons colliding in the porcelain bowl was heard on the table.

Yulan was still thinking about the practice of backpacking in her head, so she ate absent-mindedly when she ate, and almost ate the food to her nose several times.

Grandma couldn't cry or laugh: "What is this kid thinking, thinking so much?"

Everyone else stopped looking at her.

"No, no, no. Yulan shook her head perfunctorily, finished the rice in the bowl in a few bites, dropped the sentence "I went to do my homework" and ran upstairs to the room.

When Magnolia entered the door, she locked the door first. Although the family will not come to this room easily when they have nothing to do, Yulan knows what it is like to be busy, and she is afraid of scaring people, so she takes precautions in advance.

Sketching, drawing, revising, revising, and revising, until the final draft, Yulan rubbed her sore hands and looked at the results of her busy work for a long time with satisfaction.

After a break and a short memorization of the text, Yulan began to make her school bag.

She cut out the oxford cloth according to the pattern of the drawings to be used, and chose a thin cotton cloth for the lining, cut the fabric, checked the necessary tools, and began to sew it.

Time passed quietly in the busyness, and when Yulan made the backpack, she found that it was late at night.

Magnolia packed all the things she was going to take to school the next day into her newly made school bag, rubbed her neck, yawned, climbed into bed and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, Yumei was surprised to see Yulan carrying a red schoolbag with polka dots.

She pulled Magnolia and asked nervously, "Who taught you to do this?"

Magnolia looked innocent: "I saw the picture from the book I found on my brother's bookshelf, and I figured it out myself." Is it pretty?"

Yumei pondered for a long time, then looked at Yulan seriously, and said, "If someone asks, you say that I did it, you know?"

Yumei is very talented in female redness, when she was very young, she watched Li Aihua knit sweaters, and after reading it once, she was able to do it herself.

After Li Aihua began to teach her by hand, she was soon able to draw inferences from one another, weave a better style, and her hands and feet were also extremely fast. Knitting sweaters, hooking woolen hats, hooking woolen slippers, and making handmade cloth shoes, she can do it very well, and the family basically wears it all over her.

Therefore, when she heard Yulan say this, she thought that her sister was also as sensitive to this aspect as herself, but she didn't think that her sister was too old.

Considering Yulan's age, Yumei subconsciously felt that it was best not to let people know.

Yulan was moved in her heart, she was worried about how to tell Sister A, but Sister Ah mentioned it first, and she had a matter on her mind.

She nodded vigorously, "yes, I see." ”

Yulan thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Sister, if you have time, help me clean up the room upstairs, I made a mess yesterday...... If I don't have time, forget it, and I'll clean up when I get back from school. ”

Yulan actually wanted Yumei to see the sample she cut out of paper yesterday. With Yumei's character, if you are curious, you will get to the bottom of it.

She deliberately put things away and didn't accept them, just hoping that Yumei would be able to see those glued models, and then think about something, and then draw a gourd in the same way, so that she could make her own schoolbag.

With Yumei's talent, these things couldn't be easier for her.

At this time, Yulan just did a small thing casually, but she didn't expect that it would bring her a big surprise in the end.

Yumei sighed, touched Yulan's head, and didn't say anything more.

The companions who traveled with them thought that Yulan had bought a new schoolbag, and they were very envious, and asked Yulan where she bought it and how much money she bought. Because everyone uses a shoulder bag, backpacks are still relatively rare.

Magnolia is made of the simplest drawstring style backpack, which is simple and has no extra decorations. She remembered that it wasn't long before such a style could be bought in the market, but the material was different.

Therefore, Yulan said without any burden that Yumei made it according to the pictures in the magazine that her eldest brother bought.

When someone was tempted and tentatively asked if they could help make one, Yulan said generously, yes, you can pay for the fabric and labor at your own level.

When they heard that they were asking for money, they were silent.

Now the family is not very rich, and the children basically have no pocket money. In addition to food and clothing, you have to ask adults for extra money. Adults must be reluctant to spend money for a school bag.

Yulan doesn't mind, she's been thinking about what to do to make money faster, and taking the matter of helping others process schoolbags and pencil cases as a benefit, which is still unlikely to be realized, so she is not in a hurry, anyway, she is still young, take her time.

When she arrived at the classroom, Yulan found that Chen Dong'er had brought her breakfast again.

This time it's two white-flour steamed buns.

Yulan asked her suspiciously, "Didn't you give me the breakfast that your aunt prepared for you, and you didn't eat it yourself?"

Chen Dong'er shook his head and said, "No, I eat at home every day." This is specially brought to you. My aunt knew what I was going to bring to you, and she helped me pack it. ”

Yulan sweated, she didn't dare to think about what Chen Dong'er's mother should think of her. If you don't take it, Chen Dong'er will be unhappy, and if you take it, Chen Dong'er will continue to bring it happily next time, Yulan feels that she is a bit like eating white food, and she always takes advantage of Chen Dong'er.

Yulan said to Chen Dong'er very seriously: "Thank you, but don't bring it next time." I've had breakfast. I can't always take advantage of you. ”

Chen Dong'er said nonchalantly: "What's the matter, our family is not lacking." I like to give it to you, so you can take it. ”

Yulan doesn't know what to say, this is a question of lack or not!

Chen Dong'er gave the steamed bun to Yulan and began to pour things on the table again.

Magnolia didn't stop her either. She took out the navy blue pencil case from her backpack and handed it to Chen Dong'er.

Chen Dong'er took the pencil case and exclaimed, "What is this for?

Yulan unbuttoned the buttons, put the pencils, erasers, rulers, and pencil sharpeners that Chen Dong'er had poured on the table into the pencil case, buttoned them, and handed them back to her.

Chen Dong'er looked at it over and over in surprise. Yulan told her that she would use this pencil case in the same way as a stationery box, so it would be much easier to find.

Chen Dong'er was very happy, holding the pencil case and showing it back and forth, left and right.

A girl snorted disdainfully, and snorted coldly in a low voice: "What's so rare, what a stinky show, hillbilly!"

Chen Dong'er didn't hear it, and Yulan, a pseudo-Lori, just smiled indifferently when she heard it, and didn't pay attention to it, they were all from the countryside, and no one was a hillbilly.

Another pencil case, Yulan, is going to give it to Xu Meng at noon.

Chen Dong'er saw Yulan's new schoolbag and exclaimed: "Your schoolbag is so beautiful!"

So, the eyes that had just dispersed gathered on Yulan again.

Yulan was calm and calm, accustomed to Chen Dong'er's babbling, so she was very indifferent. However, when she suddenly became the focus, Magnolia was a little maladapted, but she didn't feel much nervousness.

The people around me were asking questions like where to buy it and how much it was.

Yulan pushed Yumei out again as a shield.

As a result, everyone knows that Magnolia has a skillful sister.

However, the pencil case is very simple, Yulan knows that it won't be long before others can copy it, and all she relies on is that there are more patterns and styles in her mind than others, so she doesn't pay much attention.

Xu Meng received the pencil case given to her by Yulan, and her reaction was much better than Chen Dong'er. After all, Chen Dong'er took the pencil case and wandered around the class in the morning, everyone was addicted, and the novelty had passed.

Xu Meng put the contents of the stationery box into the pencil case like a baby.

Now the three of them in the whole class have such pencil cases, which are much more novel and beautiful than those simple stationery boxes, and I don't know how many envious eyes they have aroused. Xu Meng was very moved.

At this time, Xu Meng didn't expect that this kind of moving would appear repeatedly in her future life and change her life.

And Yulan, the original idea was just that she didn't want to owe anything to others, but she reaped a lot of rewards, which can be regarded as unintentional willows.
