"Hidetsu, this is the goldfish I promised you." Yukiri happily gave Kitahara Shuji a goldfish with a pair of big eyeballs. This was a "treasure" sold by the stall owner, and now he gave it directly to Yukiri.
.
This goldfish was wagging its tail in the bag blankly, but Hide Kitahara didn't pick it up. What did he want with this thing?
But he smiled and said: "Take it back to the store and raise it!" After all, it saves a life. The game of catching goldfish is always criticized because it kills a lot of fish - many people don't think about what to do if they catch it before playing.
Yuki nodded happily, played with the goldfish through the bag for a while, then looked left and right, pulled Kitahara Shuji and started running again - she could only run like this in a yukata and clogs - and said happily:
"It's almost time! Xiuji, let's watch the fireworks. I know a good place."
Although it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with sacrifices, Japan does have fireworks during the Obon Festival. This was a good thing done by the eighth-generation Shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate. At that time, there was a great famine, and many cannibalism occurred.
As a result, during the Obon Festival the next year, in order to prevent hungry ghosts from becoming addicted to eating humans and wanting to indulge in meat again, he ordered fireworks to be set off to drive away evil ghosts. This behavior has been passed down to this day and has become a custom.
It's over.
Of course, the meaning of the tradition to this day is to have fun with the dead, but it no longer means to drive out people...to drive out ghosts. It is held collectively for three days in a row until the deceased returns to hell on an eggplant in the early morning of the 16th.
At that time, we will also cooperate with burning mountain fires to drive away monsters and monsters and sneak attacks on relatives (ghosts) on the road - customs vary from place to place. There are too many wooden buildings in Guanzhong and are placed along the river, while in Kyushu there are
Put it in the cemetery.
Yukiri dragged Kitahara Hideji to a high ground, where you could see the river in the distance, and a lot of people had gathered here. Kitahara Hideji was planning to find another place, but Yukiri had already dragged him towards the group of people.
He shouted happily: "Aha, I said I haven't seen you all this time, but you are here!"
Those were all half-grown boys, who must have just arrived. They were spreading big blankets on the ground, and some were holding fruits and other things. When they saw Xueli, they immediately dropped what they were holding, and they all burst into surprise.
He came over and shouted: "Sister head, big sister head!"
Xueli laughed and patted this head and that shoulder, very like a big sister, and then pointed at Kitahara Shuji: "This is Shuji, you call me big brother!"
"Hello, big brother!" Nearly twenty boys ranging from junior high school to elementary school bowed to Kitahara Shuji with a very respectful look.
Kitahara Xiuji touched his nose and bowed his head in return: "Hello!"
The style of painting became a bit fast, and suddenly it felt like the boss of a black society, and he was a little uncomfortable - he recognized two or three of them, they seemed to be the monkeys, pheasants and pheasants that he had brought to him for a duel in the snow before.
Dog, this funny trio is quite impressive.
Yukiri waved her hand and said cheerfully to Kitahara Shuji: "There is no need to return the gift to them, these are my little brothers!" After saying this, she took Kitahara Shuji to sit on the blanket as a matter of course, as if these boys were just turning the door and running away.
I came to give her a call.
Monkey and the others had no objection, and presented fruits to Yuki and Kitahara Shuji. Monkey even asked respectfully: "Is the eldest sister dating the eldest brother?"
Xueli was stunned, turned to Kitahara Hideji and asked: "Are we dating?"
Kitahara Shuji couldn't help but laugh, "Of course not." How could it be considered a date if the whole family came together? Besides, he and Yuki were not lovers.
Xueli immediately turned to Monkey and said, "We're not dating! By the way, why do you ask that?"
Monkey immediately beamed, "It was said in the magazine that Sister Tou and Brother Beihara are genius CPs in kendo! Ah, I forgot to congratulate Sister Tou for winning the Jade Dragon Banner. It's so majestic. You are worthy of being the leader of our Snow Sword Drawing Team! Sister
He lost forty people in a row for the first time, and Big Brother Kitahara lost forty-five people in a row, which is amazing."
They had wanted to come to congratulate her for a long time, but they were afraid of Fuyumi and didn't dare to go - not just because they were afraid that Fuyumi would scold them, but because they were worried that their leader would be beaten up and run around the house.
Xue Li laughed loudly: "As you can see, I have wanted to tell you guys for a long time, but my sister won't let me go and play with you!"
Kitahara Shuci glanced at her speechlessly, do you care about this? What about the rumors in the magazine? That's the point, right? He was about to open his mouth to explain, but the monkey had already turned to him. He lowered his head and said sincerely: "
Brother Kitahara, your bravery is worthy of our eldest sister, and I will leave it to you to be our eldest sister from now on!"
Nearly twenty and a half-year-old boys behind him sat down and knelt down together. At the same time, they lowered their heads and followed, shouting: "Please!"
Although they are all young, their numbers of people are powerful, their momentum is overwhelming, and they have the hot-blooded attitude of a bad gang.
Kitahara Shuji didn't know what to say for a while. Although he had long known that Yuki had a group of younger brothers who were kings and lords in this neighborhood, he didn't expect that she was so loved - Yuki was still willing to take this group of people to replace him.
Go find a fight with a gangster!
Now it seems a bit hurtful to directly say that I don’t have that intention for Xueli! It will also make Xueli lose face.
Xueli is very innocent, so I don't want to make her sad anymore, but this doesn't explain what to do if Xueli is considered to be responsible for Xueli in the future?
Kitahara Hideji hesitated for a moment, and was just about to euphemistically talk about the nonsense often told by unscrupulous media, explaining from the side that things in newspapers and magazines cannot be believed entirely, but Yukiri had already held his arm happily, nodded vigorously and said:
"Xiuji is very good to me, you don't have to worry!"
Kitahara Shuji was shocked, are you just trying to be with me? How did you see me right? Is it too late for me to change now?
The monkey raised his head and said happily: "Then we can rest assured! Sister, our Snow Blade Team will always support you!"
Yuki held Hideji Kitahara's hand and laughed loudly: "Of course you must support me, we must take our duty first! From now on, we must obey Hideji just like we obey me, and we will never repent. Do you understand?"
"I understand, big sister!" Nearly twenty boys agreed in unison, kneeling down and bowing to Kitahara Shuci again: "Brother Kitahara, I'll beg you from now on, please order us as you please!"
Kitahara Shuji was even more speechless. He sat down and didn't even fart a few times. He was already a man with twenty younger brothers. Yukiri also asked him: "Hideji, do you want to see their martial arts? I used to
Keep teaching them, each one can stop a hundred!"
This is pure bullshit. Even if Kitahara Shuji was killed, he wouldn't believe that this group of half-grown boys could defeat two thousand people. Moreover, he couldn't explain his relationship with Yuki, which made him a little distressed - and it couldn't be just because there were some rumors in the magazine.
It was not Xueli's fault that he suddenly spoke harshly to Xueli, and he did not allow himself to be so naive - he shook his head and said: "No need, this... From now on, if you have any questions about studies that you don't understand, you can come here
Ask me, I'm usually at Pure Flavor House."
The second half of the sentence he said was to the Snow Saber Team who were "waiting for orders".
Yuki smiled brightly: "Yes, Xiuji has very good academic performance. He is first in the grade and is better than my sister! Xiuji is very strong. He is a messed up man with both civil and military skills. You must follow his example and work hard!"
"Yes, eldest sister!"
Xueli looked like a big sister, but after saying that, she looked at the watermelon, and her foodie nature showed up again. She looked at the watermelon knife again, estimated that the blade length should be a metal knife that she couldn't touch, and punched it casually.
On the watermelon, the watermelon burst without any hesitation.
She broke off a piece and handed it to Kitahara Hideji, "Hideji, eat the melon."
Kitahara Shuji silently took it and held a three-second silence for the watermelon, while Chicken, Dog, and Monkey presented grapes, bayberries and mangoes - Monkey's family owns a fruit shop, so they probably got it from home, otherwise there would be so many
They shouldn't be able to afford melons and fruits - they all said in unison: "Brother Kitahara, eat fruits."
Although Kitahara Shuji was a little dumbfounded by Yuki, he felt that these half-grown boys had good personalities. He took it over and said with a smile, "Thank you very much. Come back to the Pure Awesome House and I'll get you some snacks."
That's okay, they don't seem to be a bunch of assholes, and it's unlikely that Xueli will have a younger brother with bad character. We can just get along with each other normally.
At this time, a string of fire lines shot up into the sky, and suddenly patches of snow-white and bright pear blossoms appeared continuously in the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth for an instant.
Kitahara Shuji looked at the fireworks, then looked sideways at Yuki - she took off her clogs, knelt down beside her, her feet were sitting under her buttocks, the cuffs of her yukata were slightly rolled up, and she was concentrating with her head down.
Eat watermelon without spitting out the seeds.
The black robe and white flower yukata made her look extraordinarily pure under the fireworks, so simple that it made people feel loving. Her eyes reflected the fireworks in the sky, and there were dots of starlight inside, full of love for... watermelon.
Kitahara Shuji looked at it for a while, but he couldn't figure out what was so special about Yuki. He really didn't know why Yuki insisted on being his girlfriend. Forget about others, he was just trying to quarrel with others if they dared to act like this.
He was polite, but Xueli was so innocent that she wanted to marry him as if it was a joke, and he was really embarrassed to criticize her.
Yuki's aggrieved look can easily make people feel guilty. Kitahara Shuji doesn't want to see it. Sometimes he can't help but stop Fuyumi from hitting Yuki, let alone say the words of rejection himself.
.
My heart is too soft, this disease really needs to be cured!
And he may not be able to defeat him. With a wooden sword and a bamboo sword, he is somewhat confident of defeating Yuki again, but if everyone is empty-handed, he will probably have to be pinned to the ground by Yuki before being hung up and beaten.
If we continue to get along like this, in the future when Xueli is older and more sensible, will we really have a serious relationship? But Xueli is not the ideal wife he planned! According to his plan, he should find a gentle, considerate, and silent wife.
A wife who supports her career, not an older child who needs to be taken care of.
Kitahara Shuji burst out laughing after thinking for a while, and looked at the fireworks again. It was too early to consider such a thing. Anyway, he had no plans to fall in love for the time being, so he just let it go. Others could say whatever they wanted. Anyway, he was not afraid of the shadows slanting.
Her feet are not afraid of the shoes being crooked - maybe Xueli simply wants to eat delicious food for a long time? After a while, she will look like a girl, and maybe she will be fine if she stops being so greedy.
The time for setting off the fireworks was not long. After all, it was not a special fireworks display. Xueli took this time to eat most of a watermelon, three melons, two large bunches of grapes, and half a box of bayberries, then sat there on his knees and burped, and said with difficulty
: "Hidetsu, let's go?"
Kitahara Shuji looked around, are you going to leave after eating all the food your younger brothers brought? Are you the boss? But this shouldn't be the first time Yuki has done this.
, Monkey and the others didn’t mind, and Monkey even asked: “Sister, can you come out and play baseball with us tomorrow?”
Xueli sighed: "No, Monkey, I'm in high school now. My sister and Xiuji make me study every day. I can't leave the house... You can play, and I will come to you when I pass. By the way, these
You can deliver the things to my house later."
Xueli was very good at arousing the monkeys and the others. She kept the pile of toys and goldfish she had won and asked her younger brother to run errands for her.
Kitahara Shuji also smiled and said: "Remember to come to the store to get some snacks later." After saying that, he waved his hand and left with Yuki. Yuki made a clanking sound as he walked, took two steps and patted his belly, haha.
He laughed and said, "I'm full of water!"
Kitahara Shuji couldn't accept what she said, and he felt that it would be difficult to marry Yuki in the future. Ordinary people might not be able to afford her. The little carrot head was still foresight. With Yuki's appetite, she would not be able to marry her in the future.
Get her a stable job with good income, and it will be absolutely difficult for her to support herself.
