He's Secretly Too
Section 19
“If I have the rest of the money in the future, I can buy myself some school supplies or such, which will be more useful than this.”
Wen Zhi nodded and did not refute.
It is not easy to make money, he thought.
However he saw his mother working several times, and his hands became rougher than before, which made him feel sour and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Sun Hui did not doubt the price of such items.
I just heard that it was purchased near the school and it was not expensive. I didn't dare say that I had a part-time job, so I ignored it.
He opened the lid, took the back of his mother's hand and squeezed it slightly.
The other party wiped it off, and before long the fragrance overflowed, with a faint fragrance of jasmine. Then, Sun Hui squeezed him again to clean, then urged him to eat.
Sun Hui did not have much work today, he finished his homework early in the morning and went back to sleep to rest.
When Wenzhi finished eating and memorized half of her book, she turned around and found that the other party had fallen asleep.
He turned around again and dimmed the light of the lamp. Then he carefully took out a bag of pecans.
He took one and blackmailed it.
This is very difficult and seems difficult to peel without professional tools.
But he didn't have the money to buy another nutcracker.
Fortunately, I had pliers and a screwdriver at home.
Wen Zhi went to the storage cabinet and looked for him. Because he was afraid of waking Sun Hui up, he moved very gently. After getting the equipment he could use, he returned to the table and sat down.
In the past, when we ate walnuts at home, my father smacked them into the ground with pliers.
But if he wants to peel it and put it in a glass jar, he should not put it on the ground and crush it.
Put it on the table? It seems I cannot exert any power.
He was afraid of waking Sun Hui up, so he tried not to make any sounds with his movements.
Wenzhi tried to clamp it with pliers, and felt her string skin slightly break. When I held it under the light and looked at it, I found that it had indeed broken with a very narrow gap.
He's a little happy.
Then, he carefully used a screwdriver to open the lid along the gap.With a sharp sound, the walnut split into two halves, exposing the white walnut core like a butterfly inside.
He tasted a few pieces when buying them and felt this type the most delicious.
Of course, this is also the most expensive.
Wenzhi carefully picked up a piece and tasted it again, it still felt the same as the afternoon.
The taste is not bitter at all, and there is no artificial flavoring.
I hope he likes it too...
The girl sat under the lamp in the corner of the room, hoping inwardly.
—
A week passed quickly.
Since I was a little exhausted during my three hours working part-time on Saturday, and also had menstrual cramps, I heard that I felt a little weak in the next two days.
Nothing seems to change.
During the day at school, Wen Zhi tried to remain silent. No one came to disturb him anymore.
He Yuzhi would send a message at night asking her to send him homework, but other than that, the two did not interact. The messages sent by the other party were also very short and there were no unnecessary words spoken.
Wen Zhi thought about He Yuzhi's birthday on the weekend, he went to school as usual during the day and peeled some walnuts at night when his mother had not returned.
He put the peeled walnuts into a glass jar that had been cleaned.
Because it's so hard to peel. Moreover, the strings are very large, but actually the seeds are not too big. Sometimes the shredded ones cannot be included, so the build-up is much slower than planned.
On Friday night, he was half finished.
I was a little worried when I heard it.
Saturday was He Yuzhi's birthday, but he never got it right. The glass jar is only half filled with walnuts and does not look good.
During the day, he heard what Song Qing said when he came to He Yu's seat, as if they were going to play outside. Hearing that he knew he was not part of their circle, he had no choice but to lower his head and pretend not to know.
It was better to do it outside than humiliate him by doing it in the He family.
On Saturday morning, He Yuzhi came out early in the morning as expected.
Ever since Sun Hui left for work, Wen Zhi was peeling walnuts at home.
He was a little anxious to peel it off, and only wanted to give He Yuzhi his jar and birthday present when he returned at night, he always peeled the walnut seeds into pieces.
In addition, the pecan shell is relatively hard.
When Wenzhi finally peeled off the last few pieces, she accidentally injured her hand in a sharp corner of the crushed walnut skin, resulting in a large wound.
At first it was just a little bit painful.
But soon, bright red blood seeped out from the tip of his index finger.
He found an alcoholic cotton ball and wiped it, a little sick, but he had to hold it and wrap it in plaster.
There are still some walnuts left to peel...
Wen Zhi looked at the glass bottle hesitantly, always feeling it would look better if she peeled it again and put it inside.
Wenzhi looked at her hand, then at the bottle, and finally gritted her teeth, sat down again and continued peeling.
Since his finger had just been cut off, the hand was barely able to use any power, and it was also very difficult to release the next few fingers.
It was only after she put the last walnut seed into the glass bottle and closed the cork lid that Wen Zhi finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Right now, the sun is setting.
Before he knew it, he had been sitting at his desk all afternoon.
The girl got up and turned on the lights in the room, returned to her seat, took out the gift tape she had prepared beforehand, it was pink in color, wrapped around it twice around the mouth of the bottle, and she was very young, and finally tie a beautiful ribbon.
real nice.
I know I am somewhat satisfied with it, but I am not sure if the other party will like it. He carefully placed the glass jar and the box containing the astronaut's decoration on the table.
I don't know if He Yuzhi is back...
He thought and pursed his lips.
At dinner, his mother came back and brought him her food. After hearing this, he could not help but ask: "Has He Yuzhi returned?"
"Not yet."
As the other party spoke, he handed her a pair of chopsticks: "I'm out in the morning. I think I went to the hotel for a birthday party. I guess it'll be very late when I get back."
Wen Zhi nodded, thinking about when the best time to give a gift was. In addition, I was also a little worried that if He Yuzhi returned after midnight, his gift would not be considered as his birthday.
She and her mother had a tacit understanding.No one mentioned congratulating Yu on his birthday, but they did not call him.
Both men knew it.
After eating, I heard that I did nothing, so I studied in my seat for a while. Just because I kept thinking of giving He Yuzhi a gift, I was unable to read the book at all.
Obviously it was someone else's birthday, but I felt uncomfortable.
This lasted until about ten o'clock.
Outside the window was dark like ink, only the streetlights were lit up quietly.
Wenzhi's window faced the back garden, and she could not see the path leading to the front door in the courtyard, it was unclear if He Yuzhi had returned.
Night hibiscus and primrose outside are in bloom, and the flowers are lavender.
Today is a very bright summer night, but I don't know why, but when I look up at the sky, I still can't see the stars.
There was only a shallow yet bright moon hanging in the sky.
In the vague memories of hearing it.
In his hometown, when seen at night, a lot of stars, big and small, with different colors, fall in the sky like diamonds. If you take a closer look, you can also distinguish different constellations.
But the night in Beicheng will be bright tomorrow, but you can't see anything.
The hour hand on the table slowly passed by ten and thirty, and my mother's voice rang out from behind: "Don't wait, what if she doesn't come back tonight?"
“It's okay to give it tomorrow.”
"Ms."
Wenzhi replied and nodded, but still could not let go.
On his own birthday, he only ate longevity noodles.
But when I see a bottle of peeled walnuts on the table, I always want to give it as soon as possible.
The girl hesitated and hesitated, but eventually inevitably took over her phone.
Because I didn't know anyone else in class and I didn't have any other friends. Wen Zhi chat list is empty except He Yu——
Even though they are not friends.
Every time you open it, at the top there is a reminder that says "The temporary session is going through the class (01)".
Wen Zhi pursed her lips and typed a few words carefully:
"Are you back?"
He stared at the screen and suddenly felt he was a little off track.
He Yuzhi won't repay him, will he?
Why do they look at their phones when they are together? Frankly, even though he saw it, he probably wouldn't answer based on his personality.
I heard that I was doing myself a bit of harm.
After all, it's almost eleven o'clock, and He Yuzhi probably won't come back. There is no point in waiting any longer.
He sighed softly, put down his phone, and got up to wash for a while.
