The letter fell on the clean stone table, looking more and more lifelike. It might not be exactly the same, but one could tell that everyone had put a lot of effort into it just by looking at the delicate and small creases.
The person who folded the letter was very careful and tried to be as light as possible. However, probably because he was not familiar with it, he had to unfold it several times before folding it into the way it was now. One could tell what was folded at a glance.
Not to mention that with Yuan Zhou's eyesight, he could clearly see that the letter had to be folded five times before it reached its current shape. Even Yin Ya could vaguely tell that it must have been folded several times.
Yin Ya and Yuan Zhou were very observant. If others looked at it, they really wouldn't be able to tell. It was really a painstaking effort to cover up the traces.
"Everyone is very attentive," Yin Ya said after being silent for a while.
Yuan Zhou nodded in agreement and didn't say anything. However, he was thinking that maybe he could increase the donation a little more. After all, from the recent letters, it seemed that there were more people. The burden on the school must be heavier. It was better to help as much as possible.
Now that he had achieved financial freedom, he could buy whatever he wanted. Even if Yin Ya wanted to buy a castle to be a princess, it wouldn't be a problem. Donating more to the school was also not a problem.
Yuan Zhou only thought about these things in his heart and planned to put them into action the next day. He didn't intend to publicize it. If Yin Ya didn't ask, he wouldn't take the initiative to say it. He always felt that it was shameful to say it, but it wasn't a big deal.
If it wasn't for the considerable number of thank-you letters every month, Yin Ya really wouldn't know that Yuan Zhou did many other things besides studying cooking.
Putting these aside for the time being, after carefully looking at the structure of the letters, Yin Ya then began to open them. She had to read them carefully. After reading the letters, she still had to fold them properly. She couldn't let down the kindness of others.
"Hua la"
The heart-shaped letter was carefully unfolded. Usually, letters with this shape were written by Miao Miao. As expected, when it was unfolded, Miao Miao's familiar handwriting appeared.
However, there were even fewer words. On such a huge piece of paper, there were only two short lines that belonged to Miao Miao. [Sister Yin, Brother Yuan, Zhan Xinjia: The weather is hot. I hope that Sister Yin and Brother Yuan can protect yourselves from heatstroke. My grandparents and I are fine. Don't worry about us.]
It was such a short line of words, but the handwriting was very heavy. It seemed that the brush could not produce ink, so it needed to be pressed harder.
Yin Ya and Yuan Zhou read the few lines of words over and over again before silently putting the letter aside. Yin Ya's fingers were trembling slightly, as if the letter was too heavy.
Even the corners of his mouth were pursed, making him look a little serious. On the other hand, Yuan Zhou still had his usual poker face. Of course, those who were familiar with him could see that the corners of his mouth were pulled down, making him look very serious.
"Let's look at the letters from other children."
After some time, Yin Ya was the first to break the silence. Probably because she had not spoken for a long time, her voice sounded a little hoarse. Steam was rising from the teacup next to her. This was the tea that had been prepared before. There were also a few plates of beautiful snacks next to it. Originally, they had planned to read the letters while drinking tea while eating the snacks. Unfortunately, no one thought of these now.
"Let me do it."
Yuan Zhou glanced at the letter in the shape of a thousand cranes and carefully opened it. It was only when he was cooking that Yuan Zhou would be so serious and careful.
The letter was quickly opened. Compared to Miao Miao's letter, this letter written by several people was much more packed. Five different kinds of notes indicated that this letter was written by five people together.
Each kind of note was different. Some were particularly childish like the doodles of primary school students, some were handsomely written, and naturally, some were well-written. Although the handwriting was different, everyone's gratitude to Yuan Zhou was real.
The whole letter was not only to thank him, but also to share some interesting things around them. They were concerned about Yuan Zhou's health. If one person wrote a hundred and eighty words, all of them could add up to a small essay.
Not only on the paper cranes, but on the other pieces of paper, the content was almost the same. Of course, everyone was different. Their experiences were different, so the language they wrote was naturally different. But what was common was that the whole letter was happy and nothing else.
After carefully reading the letters one by one, they were all gone in an hour. Looking at the restored letters, Yin Ya didn't know what to say for an instant. Even she had noticed that two familiar names didn't appear, let alone Yuan Zhou who had a keen observation.
At this time, it seemed that it was not right to do anything. Even if he only knew them through a few words on the letter and did not carefully interact with them, he still felt a sense of loss.
After all, habit was a very scary thing. Once humans were used to something, if they suddenly changed, they would naturally be at a loss of what to do.
"Blockhead, it will be fine," Yin Ya said in a low voice.
Yuan Zhou seemed to answer something, but it also seemed that he did not speak. The small courtyard suddenly became quiet. The noise from the small pub upstairs added a bit of life to the quiet atmosphere.
The insects in the grass and the corners of the wall began to cry one after another. "Chirp chirp chirp." It was very lively. Compared to the silence of winter, this time was the liveliness of summer.
"Let's prepare to write a reply to them."
Yuan Zhou silently took the letter paper that he had prepared beforehand. Most of the replies were written by Yuan Zhou himself, because most of the letters were addressed to Yuan Zhou. Yin Ya also received a few, but not many. However, every time they received a letter, the two of them would spare some time to sit down and write it out personally, word by word, back to Yuan Zhou.
Nowadays, it seemed that it was very convenient to make calls, send messages, and even video calls to see the scene on the other side of the phone. However, some things and some things were still worth preserving, such as writing a letter. Because only the words written by oneself could represent the feelings of the person at that time and express the sincerity. This was the best representation.
"Okay."
Yin Ya nodded and took the pen that Yuan Zhou handed over. The two of them each took a corner and began to write on the letter with a 'shua shua shua' sound.
At this time, apart from the noise of the customers and the chirping of the insects, there was only the 'sha sha' sound of the pen touching the letter.
In the pitch-black night sky, the stars twinkled and the bright moonlight shone on the world, covering the earth with a layer of gentle coat, causing the originally silent night to have an additional hint of water-like gentleness.
Time passed bit by bit. Very soon, the sun rose from the east, and a new day had arrived.
Yuan Zhou opened his eyes punctually under the reminder of his biological clock. After washing up and changing his clothes quietly, Yuan Zhou opened the back door and ran out.
Perhaps it was because of the hot weather, the three rice girls changed their position of wanting nothing more than to stick to Romeo during winter. They wished that they could stay eight feet away from Romeo.
It couldn't be helped. Romeo had a lot of fur, so it was very warm during winter. It could be said to be a small stove. No one didn't like it, even Zong Mo liked to stick to Romeo. There was no other reason but for the warmth.
However, a small stove that everyone loved in winter would not be welcomed in summer. Originally, the rice girls were already very hot due to their fur. If they added Romeo, it would definitely not be as simple as one by one.
