Conscientiously making soy sauce

Early the next morning, the sky was still gloomy and gloomy, with a face that had been owed for 800 years, and refused to clear up no matter what.It has been snowing all night, and the road outside is very difficult to walk.

Zhuang Yuan drove the car carefully. The main road in the city was cleaned by hardworking sanitation workers early on. Only one side was piled up with dirty and invisible snow a few meters away. Although there may be some thin ice, it was also sprayed by the exhaust. Miserably lost its shape, only a wet puddle.But this is in the city. As soon as we reach the outskirts of the city, the road is covered with white snow, and many places are crushed into slippery ice.

Although Zhuo Yuan's car is rear-wheel drive, the control on the ice is better than that of the front wheels, but he rarely drives on this kind of day.It can only slow down to a snail's pace, crawling forward slowly, it is better than slipping out of a car accident.

He drove for more than an hour in a short journey that originally only took 10 minutes, which is really a talent.When we got to school, it was already noon.

After class, the children have to go to the cafeteria to have lunch. They all wear thick clothes and shout loudly. Although some of them bow their heads and don’t speak, they still have the innocence of children. Came out well taken care of.

Zhuo Yuan carefully parked the car in front of the somewhat dilapidated three-story office building.The students in this Zhi Pei Zhi school all have some small defects, some have cerebral palsy, some have low intelligence, and they are basically orphans abandoned by their parents.

The sharp-eyed child saw Zhuang Yuan approaching, ran over screaming, and slammed into the young man's arms like a small cannonball.Smiling and sucking his fingers, he called his brother vaguely. Although he was a child of seven or eight years old, his eyes were full of pure and ignorant three-year-olds.

Zhuang Yuan patted the child's head, and his voice was gentle like water, "Is it very happy to see your brother coming?"

The child nodded vigorously and somewhat awkwardly.

Zhuang Yuan squatted down and smiled again, "Hurry up and eat. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. There must be some snacks you like today."

The child opened his mouth and laughed, stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhuang Yuan, and ran to the cafeteria with his short legs.Zhuang Yuan stood up, wiped the drool all over his face, and smiled more and more gently.He waved to those children, receiving a lot of smiling faces and addressing him as brother.

The second floor is the principal's office, the north wind in the corridor is blowing arrogantly, Zhuang Yuan felt that his face was going stiff.Entering the office, the air conditioner and heating came on, but the temperature was not high, and the air conditioner was still very loud.

Ga la ga la ga la an old cow pulls a wrecked cart with effort, blowing out a few pitiful wisps of warm air with the strength of nine oxen and two tigers. Zhuo Yuan knows that the principal has installed the few new air conditioners he donated before to the children. In classrooms and dormitories.

"Zhuang Yuan, are you here again?" The principal was very pleased to see Zhuang Yuan, and the gray-haired principal hurriedly stood up to make tea for Zhuang Yuan.

"Principal, no need. I'm just here to deliver some things today. I still have something to do, so I'll leave later. Don't bother the principal."

"Thank you so much for bringing things to these children every time." The principal looked at the young man lovingly. "I really thank you on behalf of the children."

"I can't do anything. In fact, it is the principal and the teachers who have worked hard. I bought some books and toys this time. I have sent the books to the library. I will trouble the teachers to classify and re-classify the books." Let it go." Zhuang Yuan sat down and took a breath, "By the way, principal, I may be a little busy these days, so I can't come here for the time being. The children's clothes still need..."

"Don't worry about them." The principal is very kind. "There are many kind-hearted people in the society. Zhuang Yuan, don't worry about everything. It's very good that you can send these things. You sent them last time." The air conditioner is particularly useful, and it must be replaced with a new one, which must cost a lot of money. You don’t have to worry about it anymore, Shohara.”

"Children have to learn to do things by themselves, and they can't all be pampered by you." The principal held up his glasses, "They can also make some handmade soap and do other things. Even if they have a small defect, they still Can stand on their own."

"Zhuang Yuan, in fact, instead of sending clothes or something, it's better to support the things they make themselves, which will motivate them even more."

"Thank you principal for carrying the suitcase, I thought of it..."

"No, you are also kind. By the way, are you going to see them? They have missed you for a long time."

Zhuang Yuan looked at the time and was a little embarrassed, "Principal, I originally wanted to play with them for a while, but I drove too long on the road today. I have to go to other places later, so I can only forget about it today. Next time Bar."

"Well, your own affairs are important. You don't need to come out specially on this kind of day." The principal nodded. "Have you had lunch yet?"

"...I brought some food on the road today, and I've already eaten it." What Zhuang Yuan said was true, and he didn't want to trouble the principal.And if he went to the cafeteria, he would not be able to break out from the enthusiastic children for a while.He really had something to do in the afternoon, otherwise he would be happy to stay with the children for a long time.

It was another hard drive for more than an hour and returned to the city. Zhuo Yuan ate a hamburger at a fast food restaurant casually, took a break and drove again, turning east and west, this alley went to another place, and finally the car stopped at a certain place. Inside the old neighborhood.The old building, the exterior wall coating has peeled off in sevens and eighties, gray and dark, there is basically no decent security in this kind of community, I saw an old man sitting in a small room with his hands in his sleeves, listening to the radio The babbling in Li closed his eyes and shook his head.

After finally finding a vacant seat, I tried my poor parking technique for 10 minutes and finally succeeded.Zhuo Yuan took a few pockets from the passenger seat, which contained milk powder for the elderly, cereals and other things.

Walking through the muddy community road, entering the dark stairwell, and reaching the third floor, Zhuang Yuan raised his hand and knocked on the door.

No one answered.

Zhuang Yuan exerted some strength and knocked three more times.

The door opened, and a white-haired gentleman stood at the door. He saw Zhuang Yuan stunned, "Ah, it's Zhuang Yuan, why did you arrive so early? You shouldn't come out on such a day."

"Uncle Xu forgot to wind the clock again." Zhuang Yuan smiled and changed his slippers.

The old man patted his head, a little annoyed, "Why did I forget again? I thought I just wound up the clockwork last night. I thought it was early."

"By the way, did the electronic clock I sent to Uncle Xu run out of power last time? I brought some batteries here today." Zhuang Yuan brought in several bags and put them on the table. "There is something here, cereal. What about milk? I also bought two boxes of shortbread from Caizhizhai, Uncle Xu can try it.”

"Hey, you are such a good boy." Xu Bo went to the small kitchen to make a cup of tea for Zhuang Yuan. "It's been so many years, and you still come to see me."

Uncle Xu is a friend of Zhuang Yuan's father, who came from an orphanage.The original owner's father later started a business and got assets. Marrying a wife and having children counts as a successful career and a winner in life. If he hadn't died early, he would have lived a happy life.Uncle Xu, on the other hand, never married in his whole life, he has been working as a poor Chinese teacher, and lived alone after retirement.The original owner's father was a nostalgic, so seeing the brothers in the same orphanage, he would naturally be able to help.And Uncle Xu is also a stubborn person, he accepts the small things as gifts, but he directly refuses to ask him to go to work in the company.

When Zhuang Yuan's parents passed away, Zhuang Yuan also took care of the old man according to the original owner's habits.After contacting him again and again, I found that the old man is knowledgeable, humble, and loves him very much.

Zhuang Yuan didn't pay attention to what the original owner's father mentioned about Uncle Xu's mistakes in his early years.After all, Uncle Xu is just a human being, and if he really did something wrong, it would have been in the past long ago.

Zhuang Yuan took a sip of tea, looked at the narrow living room, and sure enough, the old-fashioned clock on the cabinet stopped at eleven o'clock, he sighed.Uncle Xu may be too delusional, always forgetting about some small things.

This clock, he has been here a few times, but it has never been working normally. God knows if Uncle Xu was late when he was a teacher.Zhuang Yuan resigned to his fate and walked to the cabinet, skillfully picked up the key next to it to unlock and wind it up.

"Hey, hey, why are you helping me again..."

"Uncle Xu, let me do it." After adjusting the time, Zhuang Yuan took out the battery and helped replace it.

"Actually, I still like old-fashioned clocks." Uncle Xu said softly, "I can feel the wind-up bit by bit. Listening to the crisp sound from the machinery, I seem to be able to hear the footsteps of time. Step by step, maybe I'm old, and I can't always accept electronic clocks."

"I know." Zhuang Yuan smiled. Uncle Xu is an old-fashioned person who doesn't even use a mobile phone very much. There is a black and bulky landline on the small table at home.The most precious collection of the old man is a few clocks and old-fashioned watches.

In fact, they are not particularly valuable antiques, and they can’t be sold for a lot of money if they are sold in the market, but Uncle Xu always cherishes them very much.

"By the way, I met a friend some time ago. By the way, I asked him to accept a watch, an old Seagull brand." Zhuo Yuan suddenly remembered, took out a box from his bag, and took out the watch.

Uncle Xu couldn't put it down, looking at it over and over again, "Actually, I used to have the same..."

He suddenly fell silent, "...I put my watch away, thank you so much for coming to see me."

After talking with the old man for a while, it was getting dark outside, Zhuang Yuan said goodbye to the old man and went home.

After running two places in one day and driving for half a day, I was already exhausted, but I accidentally stepped on a pond in Uncle Xu's old community, my feet were soaked, and the cold made Zhuang Yuan shiver.

When it was dark back at his home, he turned on all the lights in the house, and then directly changed into pajamas and cotton slippers.

It was late and tired when I got home, and I couldn't get up the energy to make dinner.If he had known it was so late, he should have gone to a nearby noodle shop to eat a steaming bowl of double-topped noodles with stir-fried vegetarian stewed meat, or a small cage of crab powder with shepherd's purse wonton.Or go to eat some barbecued pork rice or something, and now I don't want to cook at all.

After all, no one, except himself, was waiting to be fed.

He went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, looked through the refrigerator, took out the bread he bought the day before and threw it into the oven, and chose the latter from peanut butter and nutella.The bread is browned and crispy, and the kitchen is filled with sweet fragrance.

Spread a thick layer of chocolate sauce on the bread, and make a cup of hot honey citron tea.I lazily nestled into the sofa, turned on the TV and regarded it as dinner if I had one ear but not the other.

After tidying up the table and washing the tableware, Zhuo Yuan went into the study and began to tinker with the book, turned on the computer, and originally wanted to turn on the Bluetooth speaker, but after thinking about it, Zhuo Yuan decided to forget it.He pulled on his slippers and made another cup of grapefruit tea by the computer.

On the way home, he already had a rough prototype. He began to search for information and began to write, from the beginning to the environment to the appearance of the characters to the arrangement of the dialogue, how to arrange it all in one piece, and if it reflects the characteristics.

The only sound in the study is the sound of typing on the keyboard.

Late at night.

The night is very deep.

The lights in the study were still on.

When the east is white, the lamp in the study is still on.After typing the last word, Zhuang Yuan went back to read it carefully and corrected the loopholes. He will have to revise two more drafts later.

When he looked up, his neck was as stiff as a robot.He just noticed the time in the lower right corner of the computer... He wrote it all night?Why don't you think so?

However, it was not the first time that Zhuang Yuan stayed up late. The original owner was a bit serious in character, and Zhuang Yuan also wanted to finish every job seriously. After all, staying up late has become a habit.

He moved his neck and stood up, a little wobbly.Suddenly his eyes went dark, and he hurriedly supported the table with his hands, probably because he was impatient and didn't see clearly, a piece of skin was scratched on the back of his hand, and it was burning hot.

Sure enough, staying up all night is a bit too much. His body is much better than before the crossing. He doesn't have any heart disease, but he is still a little weak. Let's take a nap first and revise it in the afternoon.

First the first draft, then revised it, and finally produced a satisfactory notebook after two days.He directly emailed it to Yu Guoping, then turned off his phone and fell asleep for a whole day.

When he woke up the next day so sleepy that he almost forgot who he was, Zhuang Yuan turned on his cell phone. It was a text message, WeChat, and a missed call that made his face smudged, and it was mostly from Yu Guoping.

Zhuang Yuan scratched his hair and pushed it back.

"Zhuang Yuan, thank you, thank you, I received it, and I think it's very good." The background music was a bit noisy as usual, and it was probably talking about things in some cafe or bar.

"Well, that's good. Just watch it first, I'm only at this level, if it's okay, you can see for yourself." Zhuang Yuan was lazy, he didn't rely on this thing for food, but because of his identity and the original owner's liking , he also didn't want to disappoint the original owner.

"Okay, okay, did you just wake up? I'm so sorry for keeping you up late." Yu Guoping knew that Zhuang Yuan's body was a little weak, and if it was cold or too hot, he would stay at home, otherwise he would easily get sick.

"I won't talk to you anymore, I have an appointment with the director now, oh, he's here, I'll hang up first, I'll hang up first."

The author has something to say: that chocolate sauce is delicious, delicious!
