Chapter 33: Make a schoolbag for Lianger

"Schoolbag...good." Although Liang'er didn't know what a schoolbag was, Aunt Gu made all good things and he liked them all.

"give it to me."

Gu Xiaoyou touched Liang'er's bun, told him to study hard, and then turned to the backyard to find Mrs. Zhou.

"Sister Zhou, let's make a schoolbag for Liang'er..."

Gu Xiaoyou told Ms. Zhou what she had seen and thought today. Ms. Zhou happily said, "Okay, you draw the picture and I'll do it."

"Well, is there a canvas in the county?"

"Canvas?" Ms. Zhou shook her head: "We have cotton and silk in our county, but canvas can only be found at the seaside, which is thousands of miles away."

Gu Xiaoyou stepped back and asked, "Where's the linen?"

"Mabu... you can find it in Linxian County." Zhou thought for a moment and said happily.

"Then go to Lin County to buy linen, and then I will teach you how to make a schoolbag."

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

The next day, the weather was fine and sunny.

On both sides of the road in Qingcheng County, there are trees with lush branches and leaves, and the earth is full of glory.

Zhu Cheng was loading toilet paper into the truck in the backyard of the paper shop.

Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she quickly came to him and asked politely: "Brother Zhu, are you going to Linxian to deliver goods today?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? Did you leave any goods behind?" Zhu Cheng asked without knowing why.

"No, I want to buy a piece of linen in Linxian County. Only Linxian County has it. I want to take your car there."

"But this is a truck and it can't carry people." Zhu Cheng said with some embarrassment.

Zhou glanced at the truck and said hesitantly: "Then I'll squeeze in with you."

Zhu Cheng's face suddenly became hot: "You can't sit down, let's do this. I'll help you buy what kind of linen you want to buy, and I'll bring it back to you after delivering the goods."

"Okay, thank you very much. Just buy me two meters."

As Zhou said, she took out the money from her purse and put it in Zhu Cheng's hand: "Take the money, if it's not enough, you can put it down for me first, and I'll make up for it when you get back."

"Okay, I'm leaving first."

Zhu Cheng put the money in his pocket and set off in his carriage.

In the evening, Gu Xiaoyou had dinner with Zhou and Liang'er.

Mrs. Zhou came to Gu Xiaoyou's room with the linen cloth and said happily: "Xiaoyou, I bought the fabric you mentioned that can be used as a schoolbag. Please see if it is like this."

"Is this the case? Are you out of town?" Gu Xiaoyou touched the fabric and asked curiously.

"No, Zhu Cheng brought it back for me." Zhou simply told Gu Xiaoyou what happened in the morning.

After listening to this, Gu Xiaoyou looked thoughtful.

Zhou couldn't bear to interrupt her thoughts, and urged her impatiently: "Xiaoyou, teach me how to make a schoolbag quickly, so that I can pack Liang'er's books."

"Oh, okay, I'll draw the pattern for you." Gu Xiaoyou came back to his senses and drew the style of a modern schoolbag to Mr. Zhou.

Zhou held the drawing under the lamp as if he had found a treasure, cut the cloth according to the drawing, and started sewing quickly.

Gu Xiaoyou watched her working, and her thoughts gradually returned to what she had just done. Zhu Cheng gave her an inspiration.

While Gu Xiaoyou was thinking, Zhou had already sewn the schoolbag, picked it up, measured it on her body, and said happily: "Thank you, Xiaoyou, this is much more convenient than the book basket."

"You're welcome, I have to thank you, I have a new idea." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"What's your idea? You're not going to invent something again, are you going to sell schoolbags?"

Zhou was really surprised and delighted by Gu Xiaoyou's thoughts now. What surprised her was that every invention she made was particularly bold, and every happy thing would yield good results.

"The schoolbags can be sold, but I have a better idea. I'll think about it carefully and tell you after I figure it out." Gu Xiaoyou said pretending to be mysterious.

Mrs. Zhou nodded and picked up the schoolbag: "Think about it first. I will give the schoolbag to Liang'er. He will be very happy."

"Well, light more oil lamps for Liang'er, don't hurt your eyes." Gu Xiaoyou warned.

"I know." Mrs. Zhou responded casually, took her schoolbag and left happily.

Gu Xiaoyou's idea had already taken shape. He took out his cell phone from the purse around his waist and checked a lot of information.

The ideas in her mind gradually became clearer, she took out a pen and paper to record them, and a plan gradually took shape.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

In the yard.

Gu Xiaoyou helped Liang'er carry her school bag and asked with concern: "How is it? Is it more comfortable than your school basket?"

Liang'er walked a few steps with her schoolbag on her back and said happily: "Yes, Aunt Gu, the schoolbag is so light."

"The shoulders are not tight this time."

"No more, it's like I don't have a back." A bright smile appeared on Liang'er's face.

Aunt Gu pinched his bun and said funnyly: "It's an exaggeration, but it still has some weight."

Liang'er scratched her head in embarrassment: "Compared to the book basket, this weight is nothing."

Aunt Gu stopped teasing Liang'er and looked at the time: "Okay, it's getting late. It's time to go to school."

"Well, then Aunt Gu, mother, I'm going to school." Liang'er said obediently.

Mrs. Zhou warned: "Go slowly and listen carefully."

"I know." Liang'er carried her schoolbag and left happily.

His back was relaxed and at ease. Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou looked at each other and smiled happily.

Gu Xiaoyou is in a very good mood. Liang'er has successfully reduced her burden and her plan has been figured out again.

"Sister Zhou, let's celebrate. Inform Yang He and Zhu Cheng to go to a restaurant for dinner tonight."

"Don't waste the money. I'll cook and invite them to come home to eat." Zhou said with a crooked eyebrow, obviously in a good mood.

"Okay, let's eat at home."

Gu Xiaoyou and Mrs. Zhou discussed the dishes, closed the courtyard door, and went to work.

In the evening, Zhu Cheng and Yang He were invited to Gu Xiaoyou's house.

The two people met at the door and were about to knock on the door. Although they didn't know each other, Yang He said politely: "Please go first."

"You go first." Zhu Cheng was equally polite.

"you please."

"Please." The two of them were polite and decided to knock on the door at the same time.

As soon as they raised their hands, the courtyard door opened from the inside, and Gu Xiaoyou's figure appeared in front of the two people.

"I vaguely heard a sound at the door, but I didn't expect you two to come." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

She then thought that the two people might not know each other, so she briefly introduced: "This is Zhu Cheng, the captain of the delivery team, and this is Yang He, the foreman of the workshop. You two are both my right-hand men. Let's get to know each other."

."

"I've admired you for a long time. You must have made all the toilet paper. That's amazing."

"You're welcome. Without you, our toilet paper sales wouldn't be so good..."

Yang He and Zhu Cheng complimented each other at the door. Gu Xiaoyou looked at Zhi Le. It was so funny how people in ancient times talked.

At this time, Ms. Zhou had already prepared the food. When she was serving the food, she found that there was no one in the yard. She turned around and saw Gu Xiaoyou and the two of them standing at the door. She didn't know what they were talking about and said helplessly: "Don't you guys?"

I was standing at the door, dinner is ready, come over and eat."

"Oh, okay, we'll come right away."

Gu Xiaoyou responded, took Yang He and Zhu Cheng to the courtyard, arranged for them to sit down, and went to ask Liang'er to eat.

Soon, Mrs. Zhou laid out the food, Gu Xiaoyou and Liang'er also took their seats, and the five of them were ready to start eating.

Gu Xiaoyou served Liang'er a bowl of soup and asked with concern: "Liang'er, how were you in school today?"

"Today all the classmates in the school came to talk to me. They were not familiar with me before..." Liang'er was very happy and shared with Gu Xiaoyou what happened in the school during the day.

"Really, our Liang'er has become popular too."

Gu Xiaoyou smiled and touched Liang'er's head.
