Chapter Twenty-Three: An Unexpected Guest

Ou Sijia looked down at her work, striving for perfection, and finally decided to add a rainbow of fabric to the overall composition.

From the pile of leftover strips of cloth, she picked out some small strips of cloth that could still be used, cut them into several pieces again, and then carefully pasted them on the cover.

In this way, the cover of a picture album is ready.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the next one is simpler.

Ou Sijia first wrapped the inside of the album with strips of cloth, and then pasted the shape of his own cutout.

She was satisfied, like flipping through her beloved photo album, and began to flip page by page.

Of course, this is only the first version, and the reason why she did this is also to check if she has missed any big things.

Sure enough, in the process of turning, the position set by the stapler will still show a hint of whiteness.

She put her hand on her face, clubbed her arm on the table, and closed her eyes in silent contemplation for a moment.

Then her eyelids snapped open, and a light flashed in her eyes. I guess I had a good idea.

Ou Sijia quickly walked to the side of the bed, looked at the position under his bed, and then pulled out a large cardboard box from under the bed, in which some old groceries were placed. She rummaged through it, piling everything on the floor, and finally found a bag of something from the bottom.

Unable to clean up the mess on the floor, she pulled out the ribbon she needed and sat back down at the table.

She arranged the ribbon according to the position of the edge, and after finding the best place to cover it, she immediately glued it on.

The first edition of a handmade album with rich content was presented in front of his eyes, and Ou Sijia nodded, as if he was quite satisfied.

In order to improve herself, she flipped through the album again, and when she reached the last page, she stopped what she was doing.

She tilted her head and said to herself, "En...... Is there an empty album or a photo album? ”

Ou Sijia first thought about it out of thin air, but after thinking for a while, he opened the photo album of his mobile phone and began to rummage through it.

"Well... No, no, this one still doesn't work......" Her fingers flitted across the screen, and the digital photo album scrolled quickly with her movements.

Suddenly, her fingers flickered, and a picture on the screen was enlarged. It was the one taken at the school gate when Zhao Baian and her two graduated from junior high school. Each of them stretched out an arm and made a big gesture of love.

Zhao Bai'an looked at Ou Sijia's smiling appearance, thinking that he should have found a satisfactory one.

Ou Sijia immediately nodded vigorously: "Okay!" For Xiaobai, naturally it can't be too ordinary, make the kind of appearance that can jump out of the plane! ”

But after saying that, she got stuck, and Osijia took off her round glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose with her fingers. It seems that this little idea has stumped this craftsman for the time being.

For her own sake, Ou Sijia rummaged through the cabinets again, and there were words in her mouth: "I remember... It should be right here! ”

She found a small wooden box, and after opening it, Zhao Baian found that it was well stored in the New Year's cards that the foursome of old friends gave each other before.

Oscarard went straight to the target and pulled out a particularly thick greeting card. Zhao Bai'an remembered that this seemed to be given to everyone in the autumn of the previous year, and everyone got the same style.

The greeting card opened, and a Ferris wheel popped up directly, ah! This should be the effect that Ou Sijia wants.

She spread Ji Qiu's greeting card flat on the table, carefully studying the structure without damaging any of them.

And Zhao Bai'an also lay on the table with her to study, it turned out that it was very simple to get such an effect, as long as a little piece of paper was used as a supporting force behind it, when it was turned, it could achieve a jumping effect.

Ou Sijia immediately got started after knowing the principle, but the length and hardness of the paper seemed to be not easy to control, so after many failures, she finally learned the appearance of the New Year's card and made such a design, which is on the last page of the album.

She finally finished the whole book, and the next thing should be to simply paste the photo on.

But the photo is in the phone, what should I do? Zhao Bai'an looked at her with interest.

I saw Ou Sijia take out a photo album from the drawer, put it in her hand, and after stroking it twice, she slowly opened it, which was full of various group photos of the four old friends. However, the number is still a little less than that in the mobile phone album, and I think it was printed after selection.

These photos are very familiar to Zhao Bai'an, but she has never seen this album.

Osgar pulled the photos from the original album. Then she selected the ones she was most satisfied with and pasted them on the photos she made, of course, the last page was pasted with the love photo of her and Zhao Bai'an.

When everything was done, she slowly closed the album.

Oscarlett shook his stiff shoulders and stretched them again, showing a sense of tiredness.

She looked at the alarm clock on the table, and the time hand pointed to exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Alas, I didn't expect it to be so time-consuming to make a handmade photo album from scratch, and it took me more than ten days." Ou Sijia sighed to himself on the side, and put the photo album aside by the way.

She herself was nothing, but the last sentence made Zhao Bai'an feel startled, and she almost jumped up.

More than ten days? More than ten days?

What's going on, this is Ou Sijia's self-talk, naturally it can't be a joke!

In addition to being surprised, Zhao Baian glanced at the pot of osmanthus on the bay window, the yellow stars just now were all gone, leaving only the bare branches.

The osmanthus didn't know when it had been leaked, and the fragrance of the flower had long since ceased to exist, but Zhao Bai'an hadn't noticed it all along. She was like the woodcutter who strayed into the mountains, thinking that it was only a short time, but she didn't expect that in a trance, time had already slipped away.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong......" A hurried doorbell interrupted Zhao Bai'an's thoughts.

Oscarard also seemed strange, but went to the living room anyway to answer the doorbell.

The door was slowly opened, and Long Jingshan walked in in one step.

"Why are you here!" Ou Sijia asked strangely on the side, and Long Jingshan walked into the room with a sad face and sat on Ou Sijia's chair.

Zhao Bai'an, Long Jingshan, Ji Qiu and Ou Sijia were classmates in junior high school and are now old friends. Although high school and college are not in the same school, the four people's homes are very close to each other and they all belong to the same neighborhood committee. So I often go to one of them's house as a guest, so I'm familiar with everyone's room. It's just that the four of them usually act together, and they will say it in advance.

This raid on Longjingshan is really inexplicable.

He sat for a moment before slowly responding to Oscarlett's words, "Scarlett, I want to come and talk to you." ”

"Chat? Are you kidding? Do you have to come over and chat? Ou Sijia immediately exposed Long Jingshan's nonsense, and teased on the side, "What's wrong with you?" Look at you like this, buddy, let people chase you? ”

Long Jingshan was not in the mood to joke now, he cut directly to the topic and explained his intention.

"Scarlett, among the four people, you and Xiaobai are the best, I want to ask if it's her birthday next week! Do you have any good ideas for a gift for her? ”

He paused, and saw that Ou Sijia didn't seem to respond, so he had to say what he had been thinking about for a long time: "Otherwise, how about we buy a large item in a joint venture!" ”

Ou Sijia thought that Longjingshan had some clever plan, but he waited for a long time to come here? Although everyone had known about his slamming of the door for a long time, she couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous when she said this, and she said to Long Jingsheng honestly: "Come on, you." In fact, I have already prepared for it, and we all know each other so well, do you still come to me to ask what gift to give? No sincerity! ”

When Long Jingshan heard this, he said with a sad face: "Hey, isn't it because everyone is too familiar!" After so many years, all the good ideas have been used up, and now I am really exhausted, I don't know if I can see if I can see it. ”

"Hahahaha." Ou Sijia couldn't help but chuckle, Long Jingshan's appearance was really like he had encountered some great difficulty.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, to be honest, her own ideas had already been used. Otherwise, it would not have come to the road of handicraft.

There was no way, Ou Sijia could only give Long Jingshan a little advice casually: "Didn't Xiaobai complain in the group before?" In my dreams, I dreamed of very fragrant curry rice, but I didn't eat it. Do you also know how sorry it is for her, or you can treat him to a nice meal? ”

"Or you can send her something delicious, and you don't have to be ingenious, you can just get your heart."

Long Jingshan listened to it on the side, and felt a little incredible, after all, how could he use food to pass the gift at will?

"Delicious...... You can usually send it, but it's just to invite someone to have a meal, and you can't go in any way, and your mind is not enough. ”

Long Jingshan lowered his head and thought to himself for a while, feeling that he didn't ask anything when he suddenly ran over, hey for nothing! Thinking about it, all of a sudden, he began to wonder what kind of gift Osgaard was giving.

"Dear Ou Sijia, you just said that you are ready? I'm curious what you've got in store! ”

Ou Sijia originally thought that her gift was a surprise, she didn't expect to announce it so early.

But Long Jingshan suddenly chased after herself and asked, she was a little overwhelmed, and began to hesitate for a while.

She hesitated and twisted for a while, but Long Jingshan seemed a little impatient: "Hey, everyone appreciates the good idea, what did you do?" Take it out and take a look! ”

Ou Sijia made up her mind, she didn't want to show it to Long Jingshan so early, and she must let Xiaobai be the first person to open the gift. I had to be sloppy first: "My thing can't be elegant, it's completely free, don't be curious!" ”

But the more she said this, the more anxious Long Jingshan became, and despite Ou Sijia's objection, he suddenly got up from his chair and began to look for it in the house.
