A woodworking shop opened at the end of Huaihua Lane. The craftsman Shen Yan talks surprisingly little, but he can carve all the unspeakable words into the wood grain. Kindergarten teacher Lin Zhi passes by that window sill every day after get off work, and her steps always slow down by half a beat - first there is a small persimmon on the window sill, then there is a crooked heart-shaped piece of wood, and then there is a wooden box that has not yet been finished but has her name engraved on the inside of the lid.
Everyone in the alley knew what was going on, but no one said anything. Grandma Zhou served mung bean soup, Uncle Song secretly changed the light bulb, and brother Xiao Lin poked his head in the backyard. The entire Sophora Flower Alley was waiting for an answer from the two of them, "Are you coming back?"
All the good intentions are hidden in these five words: don't be in a hurry, don't make any noise, just pass by slowly every day, waiting for a light to turn on.
