The sweet smile on Yoko's face disappeared in an instant, and she stuttered while holding the phone, "It turns out it's... Ah, hello, I'm, no, I'm..." She is staying in Kitahara Shuji
There are a lot of inside stories there. I'm very worried that Kitahara Shuji's parents know about it. What if they don't agree and they have to drive her away? Or send her to a social welfare institution?
After all, the two parties are fundamentally unrelated, and she will only cause trouble for Onisang now. It will take ten years for her to repay him, especially since her Onisang is super mature and stable, but he is actually not an adult yet.
, what if you can’t disobey your parents’ orders?
For a moment, she didn't dare to give her name, nor talk about her relationship with Kitahara Hideji, nor dare to lie. She suddenly felt panicked and couldn't make up her mind. She quickly turned her little head around to look for her "big supporter" Kitahara Hideji, and Yukiri
He looked at Yangzi's little face and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Yangzi, who called?"
Kitahara Shuji's social circle was very narrow. Apart from the Fukuzawa family, only Ritsu Shikishima and Yuuma Uchida could make phone calls.
Yoko covered the phone and whispered: "It's Onisang's mother. Sister Xueli, go and call Onisang."
Xueli's eyes lit up and she shouted: "Is Xiuji's mother? Let me tell you!"
She confidently took the phone, sat down on her knees, lowered her head and said respectfully: "Hello, aunt! I am your future daughter-in-law..."
Yoko almost dislocated her jaw and rushed to grab the phone. When Yuki opened her mouth, Fuyumi was already on guard. She flew over and punched Yuki on the head, saying angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Even if you want to marry him, you can't be so desperate. Do you still want a girl's face? These two idiots!
Xueli touched her head, then looked at her phone and found that the call was interrupted. She said aggrievedly: "Why are you hitting me? I didn't do anything wrong. I want to have a good relationship with my mother-in-law. We will live together for many years in the future!"
"She is not your mother-in-law!"
"It's a matter of time!"
Xueli said something back. She felt that her etiquette was very standard and what she said was true. She should not be criticized, let alone beaten. The phone in her hand immediately rang again. She wanted to answer it, but Fuyumi said
He snatched it away. Yoko quickly ran to the bathroom, preparing to smash the door and call Kitahara Shuji out - this call must be answered by Onisan.
Fuyumi saw that her phone kept ringing, and it seemed rude not to answer it. After all, she just hung up suddenly here, so it would be bad if there was any misunderstanding. But after a while, she saw that Kitahara Hideji didn't come, so she probably needed some time to dry herself and get dressed.
, then pressed the call button and said respectfully: "Hello, Aunt Beihara."
The person on the other end of the phone was even more confused. The call was hung up inexplicably just now. He was still vaguely talking about "daughter-in-law". He quickly called again to ask, but why was it another girl? The voice was a little milky, as if she was younger.
Oh - three girls changed in two minutes. What's going on? Which one is the daughter-in-law?
"Hello, sorry, that person just now...you are..."
Fuyumi said politely and softly: "It was my sister just now. I interrupted the call unintentionally. How rude! I am Fuyumi, the eldest daughter of the Fukuzawa family. This is my first acquaintance. Please take care of me in the future."
The other end of the phone let out a long sigh of relief, and his voice softened, "So you are Fuyumi-chan. I received the gift, which really troubles you. I called today because I wanted Hideji to convey his gratitude. I didn't expect such a coincidence.
"She said a few polite words, then asked hesitantly: "That Yuki-chan just now, and Hideji..."
Is my son looking for a girlfriend? It’s not that I object to it, but I have to ask. There are no parents in the world who don’t care about these things.
"My sister was joking with others just now, and I'm really sorry for misunderstanding you." Fuyumi quickly explained. She must not let the other party think that the girls in the Fukuzawa family don't know how to love themselves. "Kitahara-san is... busy. I'll be there soon."
I'll be here, please wait a moment."
"So that's it, it's okay, please don't take it to heart." The other party was very easy to talk to. Although he was a little doubtful, he still followed Fuyumi's words and answered. She was worried that the girls in the big city would be unhappy and make things difficult for her son.
Fuyumi said a few more polite words, and the other party was also very concerned about Kitahara Shuji's work situation - Fuyumi used to send boxing gifts in the name of Junmiya, and the sender was her - and Fuyumi also responded softly, saying that Kitahara Shuji was here
Everything is fine here, I work very hard, I have helped everyone a lot, and the Fukuzawa family is very grateful.
While they were talking, Kitahara Shuji ran over without even drying his hair. Fuyumi quickly handed the phone to him with another polite word, and he had a headache. Although it was a bit unethical to say this, the parents of the original owner
It's always a problem and I don't know how to face it.
He went out to answer the phone, but Fuyumi turned around and knocked on the snow a few more times, threatening her not to do such mindless things in the future. Then she said strangely: "Aunt Kitahara speaks very gently. She feels like a nice person. Why?"
That guy looks so ugly? The situation at home is very complicated?"
…………
Kitahara Shuji arrived in the corridor, took a deep breath and put the phone to his ear. These things cannot be avoided and will have to be faced sooner or later.
He said softly: "Hello, hello."
The voice on the other end of the phone hesitated and asked softly: "Is it you, Hideji?"
Kitahara Shuji quickly replied: "It's me. I got used to speaking standard dialect when I got here, so my accent has changed a bit." This is a big trouble. Now he can't speak the Tottori dialect at all.
It is a standard language based on the Kanto dialect - the [Japanese] skill is provided according to the dictionary, which is equivalent to Chinese Mandarin - this made the other party think something was wrong over the phone. If he really went to Tottori Prefecture, the other party would definitely be more serious.
Become suspicious.
"It turns out that you should speak standard English when you get to a big city. Xiuji, do you still have enough money to spend? You haven't come back for the holidays. Is it very hard there?"
"It's not hard, just a normal part-time job." This was the first time in more than four months that Kitahara Shuji had spoken to the original owner's parents. In the past, he had used emails to redeem the credits, and only sent out nonsense messages such as how many students had passed the exam and how he was doing well. However,
He hesitated for a moment and asked: "Um... are you okay at home?"
The original owner's family situation must be quite poor. My parents live in a place that is said to be a small town but is actually a small mountain village. Transportation is inconvenient. They make a living by farming and greenhouse breeding. They are manual laborers with low economic added value who have only received compulsory education.
, but I heard that the speaker should be pretty good, but this is even more painful - if there is a stepfather and stepmother who abuses the original owner in all kinds of ways, then he can completely turn his back and deny the original owner, and end up in peace, but now he can't turn his back.
I always feel a little immoral when I recognize someone.
"I'm fine at home, don't worry." The person on the other end of the phone also felt something was wrong. After all, it's hard to fake feelings. There's always a sense of alienation, but maybe it was because they'd been separated for too long, so she continued: "Fuyumi
Fuyumi-chan sent me a lot of things, including snacks, pickles, fruits, three big boxes, and greeting letters and postcards. Hidetsuki, please thank Fuyumi-chan on our behalf, so that she doesn’t have to spend so much money in the future. We don’t have anything here.
lack."
"I know, but it doesn't matter. Just send it to you and keep it." He would return this favor to Little Carrot Head. It wasn't a big problem, but the little Carrot Head clerk was still quite decent. I didn't expect that he would actually send a bunch of favors.
.
"Fuyumi-chan...is she the daughter of the owner of the store where you work? I just heard that she is a very polite child." The person on the other end seemed reluctant to end the call, and asked about the little carrot head again.
Kitahara Hideji also followed her words and said: "Yes, she is Mr. Fukuzawa's eldest daughter." That little carrot head has a good attitude towards his elders, and his seniors are just okay, but he is quite bad towards his peers and juniors, but that doesn't matter.
explain.
"What about Sherry-chan?"
"She's Fuyumi's twin sister. She's very nice, but sometimes her words are off-kilter."
Kitahara Shuji was too embarrassed to hang up the phone directly. He could only wait for the person on the other end to finish talking and continue chatting casually. The other person wanted to ask him if he was dating the daughter of the Fukuzawa family, but this feeling of alienation always lingered in the middle.
, and finally just said: "Xiuji, my parents don't know anything about it. You have to take good care of yourself when you live alone in a big city. If you have any special things, just make your own decision. You don't have to ask us. And... you can do it on New Year's Day."
Come back? My family hopes you can come back."
The last question had a hint of pleading. Perhaps Japanese mountain villages have strong traditional habits, women have a lower status, and they dare not give too many orders to their sons.
It must be that he loves his son very much, and the old man who is probably the original owner wants to maintain the dignity of his father and does not want to take the initiative to call his son, so he sends or acquiesces to his wife to call...
Kitahara Shuci pondered for a moment, sighed secretly and said: "I will definitely go back on New Year's Day."
"That's great!" The other end of the phone let out a long sigh of relief, feeling very pleased, and then told him a few more times not to work too hard, and to tell his family if he needed money. Kitahara Hideji followed the words and responded with an attitude
Try not to be too blunt - he has no intention of taking the money from the original owner's parents. Tottori Prefecture is already quite poor, and the original owner's parents have an average income in the area at best, with an annual income of around 700,000 yen.
If the original owner's grades were not very good, and the private Daifuku Academy was about to expand its influence, the original owner would not be able to come to Nagoya, and 700,000 yen would not be enough to pay the tuition. Private colleges and universities are robbing people badly, but the children of Daifuku Industrial Group cadres
There are definitely discounts.
Kitahara Shuji hung up the phone and stood silently in the corridor for a while - he himself has parents, and although they are both dead, this is not a reason to recognize another couple. They are complete strangers and have no feelings at all.
.
Even if you have feelings, it won't do. It means betrayal of the past, and almost everything in the world can be forgiven. It's okay to make trouble and fight like the little carrot head, but betrayal is not.
And the original owner doesn't know whether he died or went to China... If he went to China, and considering his age and no cheats, he should be quite panicked. He would have made big news by speaking Japanese long ago, and it hasn't happened for so long.
If there is any movement, it is likely to be dead.
If he really died, would he be considered an accidental murderer? If he accidentally killed someone, would he still have to meet the deceased's parents again?
It's not that he doesn't have a decisive heart, he's just being reasonable - he's the wrong party - if the original owner offends him and wants to kill him, then it's okay to kill or maim him as long as it's self-defense, but the original owner used to be on the same page with him
If you can't even hit him, what's the point of killing him?
He thought for a while and entered the common room of Fukuzawa's house. Fuyumi looked at him and found that his face was heavy, and asked cautiously: "Did something happen at home? If something happens, don't worry, we will find a solution together."
Kitahara Shuji glanced at her and said softly: "It's okay! By the way, thank you for the gift."
Fuyumi didn't care. In her opinion, it was normal and it was a normal human interaction. She just cared and said: "Don't be brave on your own. If you have anything to say, let's discuss it together."
I would definitely fight this guy to death over a small matter, but his expression doesn't seem very good. It should be a big matter, so we have to move forward and retreat together.
Kitahara Shuji shook his head. He couldn't say anything about this kind of thing. "It's really nothing." After he finished speaking, he smiled and called to Yoko: "Yoko, let's go back."
Yoko immediately came to him obediently, feeling a little uneasy, and asked in a low voice: "Onisan, um... did auntie talk about me just now?"
Kitahara Shuji smiled and answered "No". It is estimated that the original owner's mother regarded Yoko as Little Carrot Head's sister, while Yoko breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little regretful - she really wanted to have a formal status in the Kitahara family.
, an adopted daughter can do anything.
They said hello and left, and Xueli scratched her head and regretted that she didn't have a good communication with her mother-in-law. What if we all have the same taste? We will definitely have dinner together in the future, so we have to ask first!
But Fuyumi was slightly dissatisfied and didn't even send it as a gift - our family treats you as one of our own, but you treat us as outsiders? Do you think we can't help?
She yelled: "Leave him alone! Come on, start playing mahjong! If anyone dares to cheat again this time, I won't forgive her!"
