Daily life in Zongman

At Nishimiya Shoko's house, Fujiwara Haru had just finished sharing the photos he had taken, and took out his game console to play with Nishimiya Shoko and Nishimiya Yuzuru in turn. Until the evening, the aroma of cooking wafted from the Nishimiya house.

Feeling hungry, Fujiwara Haru rubbed his stomach, put away his game console and prepared to go home.

Grandma Nishimiya invited: "Fujiwara, come have dinner at my house tonight. I'll just call Yukino and tell her."

"No, thank you grandma, I still want to go home and eat."

Fujiwara Haru quickly changed his shoes at the entrance and trotted off. Behind him was Nishimiya Ito, the grandmother of the Nishimiya family, standing at the entrance. She looked confused and said, "Oh, kid, you always go home to eat. Go slowly on the way, go slowly on the way."

"Got it! Goodbye, grandma!~"

Turning back and waving, Fujiwara Haru ran quickly towards the sunset. It was true that he was very hungry, but there were more important things to do now.

Come back home.

The fence cast long shadows in the setting sun, and he stepped on these grids and ran home happily.

"I am back!"

“Welcome home~”

The moment she opened the door, a warm feeling came over her. She unbuttoned her coat and cotton-padded jacket, took off her shoes and walked in.

"Ms. Yukino, chan-chan!"

"Hey, these are cookies. Let's eat them together after dinner~"

"Miss Yukino, I want to tell you something. I saw someone selling a plush rabbit hat on my way back. The pink one is so cute. It's a pity I didn't see the light blue one, otherwise I would have bought one."

"I'm not a rabbit."

"But it's very cute. Next time I see a light blue plush bunny hat, I will definitely buy one for Ms. Yukino."

Fujiwara Haru shared what he saw today, ate a sumptuous dinner, and spent an ordinary but happy day.

April 2015, 4, sunny.

Junior high school has started.

30. I have a great idea for a large-scale art project

On a cool morning, the bulletin board was crowded with students, all looking for their names and confirming their class assignments.

Fujiwara Haru and Nishimiya Shoko separated into two sides, one from the beginning and the other from the end, and began to look for which class they were assigned to.

Nishimiya Shoko saw her name first. She continued to check nervously, and not long after, she saw Fujiwara Haru's name.

A joyful expression appeared on her face, and she ran to Fujiwara Haru's side, saying joyfully, "A companion! A companion!"

Nishimiya Shoko sincerely thanked the rice god, and her New Year's wish came true.

The class rolled, the opening ceremony, and then the self-introductions went on as planned. When it was Nishimiya Glass's turn to go on stage, Fujiwara Haru leaned over and said, "Go for it."

Nishimiya Glass nodded vigorously, walked up to the podium, and tried to speak clearly: "Except for this meeting, I am Nishimiya Glass."

"I like eating Dongxi and playing games, and I want to be friends with everyone."

"I have a power disorder and can't quite make sense. Please be more patient when communicating."

"Some everyone."

Nishimiya Naoko bowed vigorously, causing her hair to swing forward. After she walked away from the podium in small steps, the previously quiet atmosphere in the class was filled with whispers.

Glass has been trying to speak since a year ago. At first, it was because she wanted to express her friendship directly to Fujiwara Haru. Later, with the encouragement of Yuzuru and Fujiwara Haru, she also tried hard to correct her accent and learn to speak.

She prepared for this class self-introduction for a long time. She wanted to try to communicate with others directly without using a notebook.

Fujiwara Haru didn't know how effective it was, but he wanted to help his friend as much as possible, so he also went on stage to introduce himself.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Nishimiya Naoko."

“I like eating and playing games, and I want to make friends with everyone.”

"I have a hearing impairment and can't hear clearly. Please speak slowly when communicating."

"thank you all."

"The above is what Nishimiya Glass said just now. My name is Fujiwara Haru. I like playing games and hate school bullying. This concludes my speech."

He didn't say much, just helping Nishimiya Shoko express her ideas more clearly and also sharing his own preferences. But that was enough. Fujiwara Haru, who had planned to stand up if Nishimiya was bullied again, didn't notice that the atmosphere in the class had quietly changed.

If the class atmosphere is friendly from the beginning, it will be much better afterwards. When everyone was still neutral and curious, Fujiwara Haru's supportive speech made the students in the audience subconsciously want to perform better.

Good start.

After class, someone came to talk to Fujiwara Haru and asked him what club he would join. He thought for a moment and replied, "I'm going to the home club. Do you want to join?"

Several people left with regret. Some of them wanted to join the football team and some wanted to join the baseball team. No one wanted to go home after school. What could they do when they got home? Not only would their parents nag them if they saw them, but they also wouldn't let them watch TV. It would be better to play at school.

Fujiwara Haru likes to go home, but after school she went to explore two shining spots first, and then sent Nishimiya Shoko, who had played with her for a while, back home.

Over the next two days, he discovered something: neither he nor Nishimiya Shoko seemed to have made any new friends; they seemed to be the only two members of the home club in their class.

"Nishimiya, why don't you join a club?"

Nishimiya Glass, who was following behind Fujiwara Haru, quickly shook her head: "No!"

Fujiwara Haru was a little happy. He thought it was great to have a good friend take care of him. But he still hoped Nishimiya could make some new friends. Would they like to join a club together?

Fujiwara Haru didn't really want to go. He felt that having a good friend to play with was enough for him now, and he needed to explore the bright spots after school and save more money.

His past experiences have made him somewhat obsessed with money. Even though he has saved a lot now, he still likes to find bright spots every day and continue saving them.

Today is Friday, and school is over earlier. Fujiwara Haru took Nishimiya Glass out for a run, looking for bright spots while exploring shops they had never been to before, and buying some delicious food to share with each other.

When I got home, I found that Miss Yukino had cooked a table full of dishes and announced, "We're moving tomorrow! I've rented a small two-bedroom apartment. This way, Fujiwara-kun will have his own little room. I can add a new bookshelf, a special cabinet for my toys, a desk, and even a computer."

Yukino rented a new house in the middle of winter out of concern for Fujiwara Haru.

She thought that Fujiwara Haru would gradually need some privacy and personal space as she started junior high school, so she calculated the money and rented a small apartment. She was also worried that Fujiwara Haru might think that she didn't like him if they lived separately. After careful consideration, she felt that he wouldn't understand the idea of privacy, so she said that they could add new furniture and have more fun things, hoping that Fujiwara Haru would be more excited instead of sad.

Being an introvert, she always thinks a lot, and Fujiwara Haru's first reaction was: "Huh? So I have to transfer schools?"

"No need, the new house will be closer to school."

"Great! Moving!"

Fujiwara Haru only cares about whether to transfer schools. If he transfers, he will not be able to play with Nishimiya Shoko at school.

With anticipation of living in a new home, Fujiwara Haru and Yukino Shinfuyu spent two days moving to their new home. Looking at their own small house, Fujiwara Haru became more eager to make money.

He wanted to help Miss Yukino as soon as possible, and he wanted to grow up as soon as possible.

You can't just limit yourself to the shining spots. Exploring the shining spots takes too much time, and you can only get 50 to 200 yen from one exploration. The efficiency of getting money is too low.

Fujiwara Haru was thinking about how to make money. He thought about it while watching TV, while taking a shower, and while lying in bed, until he fell asleep.

He returned to the He Miao Orphanage, playing with his friends and watching new TV programs. A while ago, the director had added a large white iron pot to the roof, which had expanded the TV's programming considerably. Today, he was watching "Little Dragon Club." After the cartoons, there was an art and creative program.

"Hey everyone, nice to see you again."

"I have a great idea for a large-scale art project today."

Haru Fujiwara looked at Uncle Neil on the TV screen. He used rags, dead branches and soil to create a deer on the grass; he used white glue and paper towels to make a portrait; and he used his fingers to paint a galloping racehorse.

At the end of the show, Uncle Neil would always say, “Try it yourself.”

"Try it yourself."

"Try it, you can do it, for sure!"

Fujiwara Haru woke up and had a good idea. He could learn to make some things and then sell them to make money. Just like Uncle Neil said, he could definitely do it.

So first, he's going to get a bottle of white glue.

31. The great artist is about to start creating

For the first time after school, Fujiwara Haru did not run around. Instead, he bought materials at the stationery store and went straight home. Nishimiya Glass followed him to his new home.

Today is Monday, and Yukino Fuyu went out to buy food for the week, so when Fujiwara Haru and Nishimiya Shoko arrived home, no one was home.

Two large boxes of toilet paper, two bottles of white glue, two brushes, two boxes of paint, two rolls of transparent tape, and finally some picked up cardboards and waste newspapers.

Looking at the things on the table, Fujiwara Haru put his hands on his hips and said, "The great artist is about to start creating!"

He looked at Nishimiya Glass: "Today I want to create a Nishimiya Glass!"

Nishimiya Glass tilted her head slightly and said in confusion, "Eh? Wo?"

"I'll teach you! You can also create a Fujiwara Haru!"

Fujiwara Haru was very happy when he thought that he would be able to make something awesome soon.

He crumpled the cardboard into a ball, then expanded it by wrapping it in newspaper. After locking it in place with scotch tape, he tried to stick toilet paper directly on top.

This step went smoothly. With the help of white glue, the black and white newspaper ball gradually turned into a pure white paper ball. Fujiwara Haru then used scissors to cut out long strips of cardboard, glued them into a ring, and glued the white paper ball on top with white glue.

Perfect, the head and neck are done!

Fujiwara Haru is very satisfied with his work. Now he just needs to wait for it to dry before moving on to the next step.

Hmm? Let it dry… A step Fujiwara Haru hadn't noticed suddenly appeared. He looked at the paint on the table and fell into deep thought.

He also wants to make a finished product today. How long will it take for it to dry and then be painted?

Uncle Neil didn’t say that!

What to do? Fujiwara Haru thought for a while, ran to the bathroom, and got a quick-drying tool: a hair dryer! ~

He stood in front of Nishimiya Glass holding a hair dryer: "Jiangjiang! Quick dryer!"

Nishimiya Glass was surprised and clapped her hands in agreement: "Woooo ...

With the whistling warm wind, the white paper ball quickly became dry. Fujiwara Haru felt that he was a genius for being able to come up with a solution so quickly.

The paint melted, the brush was stuck, and Fujiwara Haru began to paint on the head of the white paper ball. Two eyes, a nose and a mouth, perfect, it already looked like Nishimiya Glass!

Nishimiya Glass roughly understood it, and then made a white paper ball and blew it dry with a hair dryer.

When painting the hair, Fujiwara Haru thought the brush was moving too slowly, and remembered the way Uncle Neil painted with his hands. He slapped the paint with a decisive slap, and then slapped the white paper ball on the head.

Perfect drawing method! I am such a genius!

Fujiwara Haru felt that he was too smart and could learn anything. He would definitely be able to create amazing works immediately and make a lot of money by selling his own artworks in the future.

After he finished drawing the hair, he found that the head he created did not look much like Nishimiya Shoko's. Nishimiya Shoko's hair had already fallen to her shoulders, while the hair he created was stuck to her head and not three-dimensional at all.

Fujiwara Haru felt that his brain was so agile, his imagination and creativity were extremely active at this moment, and he quickly came up with a solution.

Tear the toilet paper into strands, then roll them into long strips. Use white glue to stick them on the created head, blow dry and solidify, and then color them again.

"Jiangjiang! Look! It's Nishimiya Glass!"

Fujiwara Haru proudly held up his own creation, "Nishinomiya Glass", and showed it to Nishinomiya Glass.

Not to be outdone, Nishimiya Glass held up her own creation, "Fujiwara Haru." Because she didn't have to glue the hair on, she was able to complete the creation at the same time.

"Chan-chan! Cut! It's Fujiwara Haru!"

The two of them held up their respective heads and compared them: "Haha, your eyes are exactly the same as mine!"

"Its hair is exactly the same as mine!"

The two of them held each other's head balls happily like idiots, and then they used their head balls to learn to talk to each other, trying to prove that the works they created were exactly the same as themselves.

Click, the door opened.

Yukino returned to her new home in the depths of winter, a home that was still clean and tidy when she left.

The living room was filled with newspaper scraps, the table was covered with paint, there was scotch tape stuck to the floor, a hair dryer was placed haphazardly aside, and there were sticky paper towels all over the floor.

"What are you doing?"

"Ms. Yukino! I made a Nishimiya Glass!"

When Nishimiya Shoko saw Yukino Shindong returning home, she came to her senses and looked at the living room. She wanted to reach out and pull Fujiwara Haru, but found that he had already run to the entrance and was showing off his creations.

After Yukino Shindong put the ingredients aside, she carefully took over the "Nishimiya Glass" and said with a smile: "Hey~ It's quite similar~ I didn't expect Fujiwara-kun to be a little artist."

Fujiwara Haru, who originally thought she was a genius, felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Zhiqiu: "Hehehe, not that great, not that great."

Yukino Fuyu squatted down and said seriously, "You did a great job! As a reward for the little artist, let's have pork chop rice tonight."
