When the flying snow disappeared and the flashing lights on the huge airport suddenly disappeared, Sakakibara knew that the civilian passenger plane had already risen to an altitude of more than 8,000 meters and entered the stratosphere.
He kept thinking about the way Tianhai Jiuliuli stood at the boarding gate and watched him get on the plane.
She probably really loves herself, so even though she still needs to go to school today, she gets up at 4 o'clock to help her sort out her clothes, and escorts her all the way from home to the airport until the plane takes off.
When taking off, Raku Sakakihara even took a special look at the terminal building behind him.
Even after a long distance, when he looked over, he would still inexplicably imagine a girl with long flaxen hair in his mind. She was standing in the terminal building where people came and went, looking up through the tall glass curtain wall.
She slowly took off with a plane until the plane completely disappeared from her sight.
This feeling comes inexplicably, maybe it can be called the feeling of being loved.
In short, Sakakibara Raku was sitting on the plane now, and he started to miss Kuruuri a little even though it had only been less than ten minutes since departure.
"Why do you look melancholy?"
"Is there any?"
"You just have it! Also, why did Jiuliuli and Qi Mingyue come to see you off?"
Facing the resentful Sakakibara Suzu, Sakakihara smiled and said: "To be precise, they are here to see us off. Didn't Uncle Amami also get up and come to see us off?"
"It's a gift to us by the way, but the most important thing is to give it to mom! The same goes for Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue. It's a gift to me by the way. To whom specifically?" Suzu Sakakibara crossed her arms, "I don't need to say more."
Sakakihara looked at her angry face and thought it was cute: "Are you jealous?"
"I'm not jealous. No one would be jealous of you." Sakakihara Suzu reached out and pushed his face away.
Sakakihara Rakuqiang resisted her resistance and said: "This is so normal, just an ordinary brother-sister relationship. This proves that our relationship is better."
"What does it mean to have a good relationship?"
"For example, you always like to let me touch your head?"
"I, that's just me."
"Just what?"
Sakakihara Suzu lowered her head as if she was breathing heavily. After two to three seconds of silence, she raised her head and glared at him: "Ask me again, ask me again, I, I will ignore you!"
Seeing her cute round face, Sakakibara couldn't help but want to smile.
It seems that when girls don’t know what reason to use to retort.
He will always regain the upper hand with "I'm ignoring you!"
It feels a bit unreasonable.
But for Ah Ling, her sister's unreasonable behavior makes her look cute.
Because this proves that she failed to refute her own words, which has a default meaning.
Okay, okay, I lost to you.
Who made you my sister?
Thinking like this, Sakakibara calmed down.
After Suzu Sakakihara realized that her words had indeed worked, she no longer wanted to speak.
The flight from Tokyo Haneda Airport to Matsuyama City on Shikoku Island takes about one and a half hours, which is not too long.
Sakakibara Suzu must have been woken up in a hurry in the morning. Sakakibara Raku fell asleep within a few words of chatting with her.
The little head fell to the ground one after another, and finally rested on Sakakihara Raku's shoulder.
I saw her sleeping quite comfortably and her small and shiny nose.
Sakakibara couldn't help but think to herself that it would be quite comfortable to have an older brother. At least he would have a place to lean on when sleeping.
"A-Ling, A-Ling, wake up."
"Hmm? Are we here yet?"
"No, do you want to eat the airline meal?"
Suzu Sakakihara stretched on his lap, "Ah~~ The airline food isn't delicious, just eat it."
"There is steak."
"Really?!" Sakakibara Suzu suddenly started to rub up, almost hitting the plastic table behind the chair, but she still couldn't hide her enthusiasm for eating, "Where is it?"
"Take it, I'll keep it for you."
"That's great. Wait, you ate everything before you called me?" Suzu Sakakihara saw an open lunch box. The steak in the lunch box is not easy to fly back.
"Doesn't this allow me to eat two steaks?"
Sakakihara Suzu frowned: stare.
In a blink of an eye, Sakakibara took out a plastic lunch box containing two steaks: "Okay, okay, I'll keep them all for you, I didn't eat them."
Seeing that there were two steaks to eat, Sakakihara Suzu was overjoyed. She was so happy that she hugged his hand and rubbed his arm with her head:
"My brother is so kind to me."
Sakakihara put on a look of disgust and pushed her away: "Come on, come on, come on, come on, eat yours."
"I'm so touched."
"Okay, okay. I'll give you my mother's share. Anyway, I know you'll eat more meat."
"Wow, this is great."
Seeing Suzu happily starting to eat, Sakakihara Raku took this time to finish the other side dishes in his lunch box with a little pasta. Before he could finish eating, a small piece of steak appeared in front of him.
.
"What?"
"Hey, open your mouth quickly."
Sakakihara Raku ate it easily.
Sakakihara Suzu smiled and said: "How is it? Is it delicious? Do you suddenly feel that you are very happy to have a sister!"
Sakakihara Raku said while chewing: "Logically speaking, this steak is mine."
"How can this be the same!" she said, "The feeling of eating a steak specially reserved for yourself is completely different from eating two steaks."
"You mean——?"
"The steak I feed you feels completely different from the steak you eat yourself! Hehe, you see, if there is a sister feeding you, your heart suddenly feels warm."
"Some feeling."
"Why, it's just a little bit. It's very strong, okay? Then I'll feed you another piece."
Sakakibara stared at the steak that came again, and moved his head back: ".Why do I suddenly feel like a toy when you were a child? You used to always feed your doll a green leaf, saying, brother, hurry up and eat, otherwise you will have to eat."
If you're hungry, don't stop eating when you're full, I'll eat it all for you!"
"What! I'm not that bad!"
"Don't say no."
The plane landed in Matsuyama City, Shikoku Island.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Located in the southern half of the country, it is famous for its orange production.
Ehime Tachibana comes out from here.
Raku Sakakihara's hometown is in Ehime Prefecture, which is under Matsuyama City.
The time was only 7:45 in the morning, and there was thin snow falling in the sky. When the plane landed, I could still see the Seto Inland Sea with several ferries floating outside the window. It was not the blue sky in my memory, but the snowy sky.
A touch of unique cold gray.
When they got off the plane, their mother told the two brothers and sisters to wear thicker clothes, and then took the two of them to eat ramen in the terminal.
Before, Sakakihara Raku would never dare to eat at an airport restaurant.
When I just left my hometown and went to Tokyo, I had never seen the bustling little Aling. I saw a lot of food displayed in transparent windows at the airport. The warm orange-red lights made those hamburger buns shiny and attractive.<
/p>
There was also a family sitting in the store with exquisite and clean clothes. The little girl of that family was holding a hamburger and eating it bite by bite under the watchful eyes of her parents, with a smile on her face. The mother also reached out to help the little girl shake her feet.
The little girl who was eating held her cuff.
Little Ah Ling looked longingly at the burgers in the window and the family. She also wanted to eat them, but was immediately scolded back by her father.
‘The things here are so expensive, why should you sell them to buy them?’
Although little Aling is naughty, she is most afraid of her father. She hides behind her brother and lowers her head silently, not daring to speak.
Sakakihara Raku didn't want to recall this, but when he found Suzu looking at the familiar scenery outside the store while eating ramen, he couldn't help but ask:
"How do you feel?"
"What?" Sakakihara Suzu turned around.
"It always feels a little better to go back to a place you've been to before."
"Feeling? Actually, I don't feel much at all. When I talk about this, I think of my bastard dad!"
Amami Miwa sat over with ramen in her hand, and her sitting posture was also very particular. "Why do you suddenly ask him?"
"Mom, don't you hate him?"
Amami Miwa looked out the window, as if on the smooth tile floor, she saw the four people who were moving towards Tokyo in great turmoil in the past: "I hate it, but it's all over now. I don't care whether he lives or dies.
Don’t care.”
"That must be annoying, right?"
Tianhai Meihe hugged the hot tea and smiled and said: "A Ling, you hate him a little bit. I thought so too before, but now it seems that it is more appropriate for him to leave."
"A friend in need is a friend indeed," said Sakakibara Suzu, and even took a special look at Sakakibara Raku.
"Look at what I do, do you think your brother is very good?"
Sakakihara Suzu pouted: "It's okay, it's okay."
"It's okay to admit it in front of mom. Just admit it and I'll buy you a hamburger right now."
"Just a little bit!" Suzu Sakakihara lowered her face and made a face at him, "I can afford it myself!"
"You just said to yourself on the plane that it would feel completely different if someone helped you buy it. Is that what you meant?"
"That's what it means, but it doesn't apply now!"
"By the way, you've already eaten three steaks, can you still eat ramen?"
"The steak is so small, who can eat it?"
"Pig."
"Hmph, then you are Brother Pig. Brother Pig!"
"Hahaha, little pig girl is not much better."
"Go, go, don't bother me eating ramen, I'm so annoyed."
"Then the barbecued pork in my noodles~~"
"I want——!"
"No -"
"Humph, it's so annoying! What a nuisance!"
After saying that, he clenched his fist and hit Sakakihara Raku twice.
Tianhai Meihe looked at her two children with great satisfaction on the opposite side.
Now she really feels that it would be best if that bastard left, so that it would not affect their growth to what they are now.
Grandma fell down in front of her home and was taken to the city by her neighbors.
The old woman kept saying that the hospital was too expensive and was thinking about leaving. It was only after her neighbor told her that Meihe and her two grandchildren were coming to see her that she settled in the hospital with peace of mind.
After breakfast, Tianhai Meihe took the two of them to buy flowers and fruit gifts in the city before coming to the hospital.
As soon as she arrived at the ward, the old lady laughed happily when she saw her two grandchildren.
"Grandma."
The old lady responded quickly and sat up from the hospital bed, "It will be fine when you come."
Tianhai Meihe walked last with her things in her arms. After entering the house, the old lady was still regretting what she had spent the money on.
Raku Sakakibara: "Grandma looks pretty good."
"That's not it!"
The old lady responded like this, and then called Sakakihara Raku to walk to her bed, pulling him to look left and right.
"Good boy."
He nodded with satisfaction.
Tianhai Meihe put down the flowers and asked with a smile: "Mom, why do you look at Ale like this?"
"Okay, okay, my child is much more handsome. He has grown taller and looks like you, which is great. Anyway, I don't see any trace of that bastard at all."
The old lady was so angry that her father chose to abandon the family and children after winning the lottery.
I was so angry that I vomited blood.
I was admitted to the hospital at that time.
"Then what did the bastard say when he married you? How did he promise?"
Amami Miwa could only smile and cope with her mother's words.
When the old lady talks about him, she always talks a lot.
He said that that person asked him this way in the first place, and how he asked the old man, and what he wanted to do when he got married.
Naturally, nothing was accomplished.
The old lady pulled Sakakibara Raku and Sakakibara Suzu over again, and apologized to them guiltily.
He said that he was sorry for not being able to help them when they were in Tokyo.
I don’t have much money to give them at home, I’m sorry.
I don’t know how to help, and I’m sorry.
Sakakibara knew that her grandmother's family really didn't have much money, because most of her money was given to her mother on her wedding day, so she left some living expenses for herself and her grandfather. He also lied to his mother that the family still had savings from farming when he was young. The few hundred thousand yen that came down were enough to spend, so she didn’t have to worry.
Of course, the money was ultimately spent by that bastard dad on gambling.
It’s really pitiful that my grandparents are so caring.
Amami Miwa: "By the way, Mom, why didn't you see Dad? Where did he go?"
"Him?" the old lady muttered, "Didn't you give a lot of money to the family? The old man went on a trip, and he wanted to take me with him. I didn't want to leave at all, and someone had to collect the food at home! I want to go. Go next year."
"Ah? Dad went on a trip?! Mom, why don't you go with us?"
"I don't want to go, I don't want to go. I asked him to go out and play by himself if he really wanted to go out for a walk."
"He said he was coming back, but he didn't know where he was."
"Isn't it okay, grandma?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just an old habit. I was shocked when I said you guys wanted to come back and see me! Is such a trivial matter such a big deal? It's okay to just take a look. Meihe has remarried you?"
Tianhai Meihe smiled awkwardly: "Yes."
"What does the new man look like? What is his personality? What is his last name?"
"Mom, didn't I tell you before?"
"Oh, I seem to have said that my surname is Tianhai, right? I couldn't tell you clearly on the phone. Please tell me the details. Also tell me your date of birth and so on. I'll help you figure out whether you two are compatible."<
/p>
"There's no need for this. Maodian is a nice person, but like me, he's a bit busy at work."
Miyoko Sakakihara held her daughter's hand and said: "When you are busy, don't forget about the Gu family. In the end, you work for a family. If your family is gone, your work will be in vain in the end!"
After that, my mother and grandma nagged about Uncle Tianhai for a long time.
She asked everything about her family background and her two daughters.
After hearing that Uncle Amami had two daughters, both of whom were younger than Raku Sakakibara, the old lady quickly told Raku Sakakibara: "Don't be partial, Raku."
He also said that Ling was his biological sister and he should remember to remember A-Ling. A-Ling should also treat her brother well.
It sounds like Sakakihara Suzu is extremely happy.
It is also said that the old lady has a keen eye for jade.
"Has Ah Le ever been partial?"
"Yes! Those twins are so beautiful!"
The old lady immediately changed her look, and then pulled Sakakibara to teach her in a soft voice.
It was just that he wanted to pay more attention to Suzu, which made Raku Sakakibara extremely embarrassed.
"Ale will be 18 next year, right? Is there anyone you like?"
"This"
"That's it."
At this time, can Raku Sakakibara say that the person he likes is Kuruuri?
It’s hard to say this in front of the old lady.
"The Hai family was very rich that day, right?"
Mom replied: "It's quite rich."
"Then why do you fall in love with you?"
"Mom, I can't explain this in just a few words. Anyway, Maodian and I have known each other for a long time. His office is above our restaurant, and you can see him every day at noon."
"Lawyer?"
"Yes."
"Lawyer, the lawyer is very good and decent. Do you have a photo?"
"Mom, wait a minute."
Tianhai Meihe took out her mobile phone and showed the old lady the photos. By the way, she also took out the photos of the Tianhai sisters.
"Is this his daughter?"
"Yeah."
"So beautiful?"
"Ah? Is there any problem?"
"In my village before, such a beautiful girl would be forcibly married off by a wealthy family! The witches in several major shrines I have seen are not as beautiful as them. Their hair color does not look like the locals." p>
"They're a little mixed."
"Is that so?"
I talked a lot with grandma until the doctor arrived and told everyone to check on grandma’s condition.
Raku Sakakihara and Suzu walked out of the ward together.
"Grandma looks very energetic!"
"She is in good condition," Raku Sakakibara said, "but she is suffering from arthritis and arthritis. Even though she is having a good conversation with us, she might have pain in her legs."
"Will you also grow old in the future?"
"What?"
"I can be younger than you, but if you are too old to walk, hey, just call me and I can consider helping you carry the toilet."
Sakakihara was confused: "What are you talking about?"
The doctor went out a few minutes later and said he wanted to take the old lady for a detailed examination.
After waiting for another hour or so, the test results came out.
The attending doctor took a report sheet and called the three people together in the consultation room.
"You are the patient's family, right?"
Tianhai Meihe nodded: "Yes."
"The patient's current problem is not a small one, but it is not a big one either. The cause of fainting is high blood pressure. Pay attention to the elderly to eat less high-salt food. During our examination, we also found arthritis in the legs.
This is a common disease among the elderly. What is special about the patient is that there is a benign tumor next to the bone, which requires an operation to remove it."
"Benign? Does that mean it's okay not to perform surgery? My mother is a little resistant to surgery."
"I can understand it, but a benign tumor doesn't mean it can remain forever. It can also spread and develop into a malignant tumor. My suggestion is to remove it as soon as possible."
"Got it."
"So, what is your opinion?"
"Cut it."
Grandma is going to have a minor surgery, so Raku Sakakibara will naturally not be able to return to Tokyo during this period.
I originally planned to stay in a hotel in the city, but my grandma couldn't worry about the vegetables in her fields, fearing that they would be frozen to death by this year's early snow.
In addition, his mother also planned to return to her hometown for a visit, so Sakakibara followed him back to Ehime Prefecture, to a small town near the sea.
Then we took a 30-minute ride to our hometown.
It's very different here.
After the cement road was built, there were more telephone poles.
At least Raku Sakakibara no longer sees the muddy roads of his childhood. Most of the houses in the village are two-story, one-family buildings, with quite wide intervals and no feeling of crowding.
The small stone bridge without guardrails at the door is still there, and the spring water is still flowing down the mountain.
This actually makes Raku Sakakibara feel a little like his hometown.
I tidied up the room and sleeping area until late at night.
There was little time to appreciate the environment of his hometown, so Raku Sakakihara fell asleep in a hurry after taking a shower.
When I got up early the next morning, the snow in the sky seemed to be much heavier.
There was no air conditioning in her grandmother's house, so Raku Sakakihara had to get up shivering from the floor, holding the quilt, getting dressed and going to the toilet.
Even though I was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, I still felt cold, so I went to boil some boiled water to drink.
The heat was rising. Looking at the white snow falling outside the window and taking a sip of boiled water, Sakakihara let out a breath of heat from his chest.
"Comfortable."
Duoduo.
A sudden knock on the door made Sakakihara look towards the narrow entrance.
Strange, who would come to see grandma on this snowy day?
Sakakihara Raku didn't think much, shook off the air conditioner on his body, held the hot water tea cup in one hand, and opened the door.
Phew~
The cold wind suddenly came in through the crack in the door.
Outside the door, stood a girl in a beige trench coat wearing a pure white scarf.
She was wearing white cotton gloves, and her hands were hanging down normally. Because she was not wearing a hat, her long flaxen hair was dyed by the white snow, as if it had been sprinkled with a thick layer of crystal salt, exuding a clean fragrance under the blue morning sky.
gloss.
The beautiful little face that is as delicate as a brush outline seems to be dyed by white snow, with an indescribable purity.
The thin back reflects the snow-white ridges, snow-white fields, snow-white telephone poles, and snow-white wires
She just stood outside the door very stylishly, looking at herself silently.
Sky-blue eyes stared at herself, reflecting her own appearance.
No words or movements, just looking at myself
Sakakibara was stunned and even began to doubt himself. Is his eyesight blurred?
He rubbed his eyes, afraid that he had seen it wrong.
But when I looked carefully, I saw that the girl was still standing outside.
