There is a sushi restaurant here that has been passed down for five generations, called "Sakai".
The successive owners of this store have always adhered to the concept of making delicious food and have always used the best ingredients, so their reputation has always been good.
And because "Sakai" has been open in the old street for decades, it is the memory of many people.
This store was booked today, and someone made a reservation two days ago.
There is an old man in his seventies in the store, who is the former owner of "Sakai".
He passed the sushi restaurant to his youngest son more than ten years ago, but he comes to the store every day to make some sushi, no matter if it's windy or raining.
He loves this job very much and not only regards it as a tool to make money.
He originally disagreed with the booking of the venue, even though his youngest son told him that the distinguished guest had paid a large sum, enough to make Sakai's profit for more than half a year.
But he just doesn't want to. He makes sushi for everyone to eat, not for capital.
This kind of people are sometimes very stubborn, but they are actually the most ingenious, so they can make delicious food.
His younger son, who is in his forties, has not yet understood this spirit, and he may never be able to understand it in his lifetime.
But that afternoon a special guest came to the store. The guest walked up to him and called "Uncle Sakai" with a smile.
When the guest smiles, he no longer looks majestic, but instead looks inexplicably juvenile.
Lao Sakai turned to look at this familiar yet unfamiliar middle-aged man, and was stunned for a long time.
"Are you... Shinsuke?"
Only then was the matter of booking the venue agreed.
…
Lao Sakai is very serious when making sushi, and the technique of making sushi is also very particular, as if he is massaging the sushi on the table, sometimes using force and sometimes stroking.
After he spread the best fish on the sushi, he raised his hand to stop his son who was about to come over to serve the plate, indicating that he would personally serve the plate of sushi.
Old Sakai is over seventy years old, and he is somewhat rickety.
Time flies so fast.
Shinsuke and Ryoko must have been in their teens at that time, almost the same age as the children around them.
Lao Sakai carried the plate and walked to the square table where the four of them were.
"Uncle Sakai." The middle-aged man and the beautiful woman stood up to greet them, and the two juniors sitting beside them also quickly stood up.
"Shinsuke, you and Ryoko haven't been here for many years." Lao Sakai waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down.
He remembered that the two of them would come together several times a week in those years. Shinsuke was funny and Ryoko was a very beautiful girl. Both of them were very lovable, so he still remembered it vividly.
"Well, we have traveled far over the years." Shinsuke Aozora nodded.
"Come and sit here more often in the future. When you were chasing Ryoko, Uncle Sakai always helped you make special sushi."
Lao Sakai smiled. The two of them must have been friends for years.
The beautiful woman also smiled and agreed, then looked at the middle-aged man tenderly, and the middle-aged man also looked at the beautiful woman and nodded.
Ryoko Kobayakawa has been living in the old street these years, but she has never been to this sushi restaurant, because if he is not here, there is no point in her coming.
Lao Sakai handed the sushi to several people while talking.
He handed a piece of sushi covered with shrimp tails to the pink-haired girl.
"Thank you, Grandpa Sakai." Aozora stood up and took it with both hands, her voice was very sweet.
"Um."
Lao Sakai smiled and nodded, then picked up another plate of sushi and handed it to the boy sitting next to Ryoko.
"Thank you, Grandpa Sakai." Kazuki Kobayakawa also stood up and thanked him.
Lao Sakai suddenly realized that this was also a girl, but he just nodded and smiled.
It was as if he saw that Shinsuke's decision to book the sushi restaurant today must have some significance, but he wouldn't say anything more.
"Come and sit more often when you have time." He said again.
After hearing Shinsuke and Ryoko's agreement, Lao Sakai took the plate and turned around and walked slowly toward where he came from, continuing to prepare new sushi for several people.
"Ryoko, haven't you come here to eat sushi in these years?"
Shinsuke Aozora asked seemingly casually. He picked up a piece of sushi in front of him with chopsticks and ate it in one bite.
The size of the sushi is just right, not too big, not too small, just enough for one bite.
Liangzi shook his head and didn't explain much.
"How about we bring Ichiki and Xiaonai here for a sushi meal every week from now on? I think Uncle Sakai welcomes us very much."
"If you come to book a reservation every week, Uncle Sakai might chase you with a spatula."
Ryoko Kobayakawa seemed to remember something and smiled helplessly.
"Hahaha, originally I just added some mustard and...cough to his soy sauce."
Aozora Shinsuke glanced at Aozora Na and Kobayakawa Kazuki in the middle of speaking, as if he wanted to maintain his dignity.
Liangzi was speechless.
The four of them ate sushi quietly, and there were pastries specially bought by Shinsuke Aozora on the table.
Her favorite pastry from Ryōfu’s house.
"Are you moving there in a few days?"
Shinsuke Aozora picked up a pastry that seemed to be made of purple rice and handed it to Ryoko Kobayakawa.
Liangzi glanced at Aozora Nai hesitantly. "Nai-chan, do you mind?"
She was a little careful when she said this. After all, this was the matter of their previous generation and they should not be responsible for it.
Qingkora glanced at her, and after a brief conversation, she suddenly smiled and said, "Welcome, auntie."
When she said this, even Aozora Shinsuke breathed a sigh of relief.
They didn't know why Aozora, who had tried every means to obstruct the two's remarriage, suddenly agreed, but the result couldn't be better.
After Aozora said this, she glanced at Kobayakawa Kazuki intentionally or unintentionally, but saw her looking down at the sushi on the plate in front of her without saying a word.
"Sister, don't you like sushi? Can you give it to me?" Aozora asked suddenly.
Kobayakawa Kazuki looked up at her expressionlessly, and her eyes behind her big black-rimmed glasses seemed untroubled.
Ryoko and Aozora Shinsuke looked a little unnatural.
"Nai-chan." Shinsuke Aozora said in a deep voice.
"Oh, if you don't want to eat, then you won't eat." Qingkora curled her lips, as if she was really just talking.
Apart from this little friction, this family dinner was quite enjoyable.
At least for Ryoko and Aozora Shinsuke, that's the case.
But Kobayakawa Kazuki has always been lack of interest, and even when Aozora Shinsuke talked to her, his response was perfunctory.
"Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." Kobayakawa Kazuki stood up.
"Sister, I want to go too." Aozora said.
After Kazuki Kobayakawa glanced at her, he left directly.
Aozora slowly followed behind her.
"Nosuke, the two of them." Ryoko looked at the backs of the two of them and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Don't worry, I will talk to Xiao Nai."
He naturally saw that Aozora was a bit provocative just now.
"Yeah." Ryoko Kobayakawa sighed.
