"Forget it if you don't want it!" Fuyumi held the gift box and tilted her head and waited for a while. Seeing that Kitahara Shuji didn't pick it up, she was quite happy and wanted to put it away, but the expression on her face became even worse.
Kitahara Shuji directly reached out and took it, sincerely thanking him: "Thank you, Fukuzawa-san."
Although what Little Cartoon Head said was not pleasant, it was just because of her awkward personality. Kitahara Shuji had known her for eight months, and he understood her to a certain extent. He understood that she also had good intentions, and that the other party had good intentions. If you should thank her, you have to say thank you. There is nothing to say.
of.
Fuyumi's face instantly became better, she tilted her head and muttered: "You're welcome, let's see if you like it!"
"Okay!" Kitahara Shuji responded happily, then opened the gift box and took out a white open-neck sweater. He shook it open and took a few glances, and found that the needle holes were very fine and the wool material was very good.
The most important thing is that the knitting skills are very good. On the white background, black wool is used to inlay a perfect square pattern divided by golden lines, which is very geometric and beautiful.
Kitahara Shuji felt that this sweater was extremely comfortable at first sight. It was simple yet delicate, and the stitches were neatly stitched. It was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into it. I liked it very much at first sight, and I couldn't help but asked in surprise: "
Did you knit this?"
Below the golden line dividing diagram of a perfect square is the Roman abbreviation of his current name, which does not look like it was machine-woven.
Fuyumi was secretly observing his expression, and found that he was full of admiration and couldn't put it down. She couldn't help but feel a little happy, and whispered: "Of course I knit it! Try it to see if it fits..."
Kitahara Shuji smiled, took off his coat and the thin sweater issued by the school - the winter in the Kanzhong area is not too cold, and it hasn't even snowed yet - and then put the sweater knitted by Fuyumi on his body, and then touched it and felt
It's very warm and fits perfectly. It's better than the ones issued by the school anyway.
Fuyumi also stretched out her hand to help him pull up the hem of his sweater. She checked that the sleeve length and collar width were suitable, and she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She was now helping Kitahara Shuji wash clothes and compared them with his clothes, but after all, she didn't measure them herself.
When Hideji Kitahara's body is wider and longer, I always worry that he is too big or too small.
Kitahara Shuji was very satisfied. He touched the super dense needle holes and the surface without pilling, and couldn't help but asked: "Did it take a lot of time?"
Fuyumi was still looking left and right, admiring her masterpiece. She kept tugging here and there with her little hands. When she heard the sound, she curled her lips and said, "It didn't take much time, so I just knitted it casually."
In fact, she started knitting at the end of summer, and it took her a total of three and a half months. Of course, the main reason was that she had to do a lot of work every day, and she had to study, and her free time was limited, so she could only steal a few stitches to make it take so long.
And knitting a fitted sweater is not a simple matter. Not to mention buying yarn, curling yarn balls, etc., just design the pattern, select the needle size, and then knit a sample. After measuring the size, wash and dry it, and check the sample.
Whether it becomes larger or smaller after passing through water, you must master the material characteristics of the wool. Only then can you calculate the number of needles, how many needles should be used per square decimeter, how many needles should be used to change the thread and the inlay pattern should be changed, and how many needles should be used to start.
Knitting collars and cuffs... can be said to be extremely troublesome.
Knitting a sweater is not difficult, but if you don't have a lot of patience, you will definitely not be able to knit a sweater that fits you. It's just that Fuyumi can't admit it. Admitting it seems that she attaches too much importance to Kitahara Shuji, and it doesn't feel good.
Kitahara Shuji touched his body again. Instinctively, he felt that it didn't look like it was knitted casually, but he didn't know how to knit. He could only believe what Fuyumi said, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart - he didn't expect the little carrot head to have such a skill.
, this sweater will definitely be very popular when sold. It may not be enough to support the family, but it will definitely be enough to subsidize the family.
And regardless of whether it was knitted casually or not, this was the first handmade sweater he got in his life. He felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but look down at Fuyumi and said seriously: "I like it very much."
Fuyumi's little ears turned red for a moment, she hummed, tilted her head and said to the air: "It's okay if you don't like it, you don't have to force it."
Kitahara Shuji was speechless. I have already said that I like it. What else do you want? Do you want me to say that I don’t like it?
He could only emphasize again: "I really like it."
Fuyumi suddenly felt happy and a little shy. She tilted her head and stared at the air for a while, then peeked at Kitahara Hideji and found that he was looking at her with his head lowered and his eyes were very gentle.
She felt even more shy, and whispered softly: "Okay, I get it, just like it, no need to say it twice! Keep it well, don't be like the handkerchief I gave you, where it got lost in three days..."
"
Kitahara Shuji was very talkative at the moment and nodded: "I will take good care of it." Then he looked down at Fuyumi and was hesitant to speak. He didn't know how to explain that he didn't prepare a gift, and Fuyumi looked up.
I looked at him and found that he was staring at me blankly, with a "green light" in his eyes as if he was eager to try, and I couldn't help but feel panicked.
This guy won't be so moved that he wants to stick his mouth out...
She felt a great deal of shame in her heart, and suddenly realized that it was already late at night. It was extremely inappropriate to let Hideji Kitahara stay in her room at this moment. It was very dangerous to be alone. She quickly pulled off his clothes and threw them to him, shouting:
"It's time for you to go!"
She was small but strong. Kitahara Xiuji was pushed and staggered by her without warning. He could only turn around and walk towards the window, questioning: "Should I leave now?"
No need to exchange gifts? It’s my fault that I didn’t prepare. I should at least apologize, right?
Fuyumi's hands softened, what does this mean? Do you want to stay here for the night?
What a beautiful idea you have! She exerted even more strength, pushed Hideji Kitahara towards the window, and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, I've given you a gift. Go back to the attic!"
She forced Kitahara Hideji's body out of the window, and Kitahara Hideji was speechless - this is the second floor, please slow down, do you want to kill me?
This damn carrot head, wasn't he fine just now? Why did he suddenly change his face again?
He was forced out of the window by Dongmei, and Dongmei saw him squatting on the window sill and warned: "It's very late, don't read, just go to bed."
Kitahara Shuji didn't understand what was going on, so he could only nod his head and climb towards the attic skylight. Fuyumi watched him leave, and after waiting for a while, she didn't see him accidentally rolling down, she felt relieved and closed the window directly.
He turned around and walked to the bed, but halfway there he felt uneasy, so he came back and locked the window directly - he was very nice to this boy today, but this boy will be in trouble if he thinks too much.
Kitahara Hideji climbed back to the attic, looked at the hand-knitted sweaters, and then began to wander around the room - it seemed that he should give something as a gift, but he had nothing to give away.
He looked at the alarm clock again, wondering whether he should go out and buy it all night. Today is Christmas Eve, and many shopping malls don't close until four or five in the morning. It should be in time, but what better gift than a handmade sweater?
He sat there for a long time and couldn't figure out what to give as a gift. He felt that it would be better to give something ordinary than nothing at all.
He then lay down directly, preparing to remember the favor first and return it later when he had the opportunity.
…………
The next morning, he still woke up early, but no one in the Fukuzawa family had woken up yet - there was no business today, Fuyumi didn't need to buy ingredients, and she probably wanted to sleep a little longer.
He finished washing alone, took a look at the tooth cup of the little carrot head, and felt slightly uncomfortable. He shook his head and went back to the attic. He took the acupuncture dummy and refreshed his vitality. Only then did he hear some movement downstairs.
Xueli was very happy. She got a metal baseball bat. She felt that Santa Claus was very considerate and knew what she liked. However, Xia Zhi and Xia Sha had a look of resentment on their faces - they got a set of books, with two volumes for each person.
One book is called "Encyclopedia of Knowledge", which can be regarded as a popular science book for children.
They didn't like it very much, but now they pretended to believe that there really was a Santa Claus in the world. They had no way to go to Fuyumi to protest, so they could only hold it in themselves. Moreover, it was a big holiday, so Fuyumi took away her new mobile phone early in the morning, just to watch them.
His face looked like he might be suffocated to death.
Haruna got a cute eggbeater, which she put in the kitchen to use when making breakfast later. As for Akitarou, he got an O-rail toy locomotive.
These five guys all accepted gifts unilaterally in previous years. Their father, Naotaka Fukuzawa, bought them. Now they have no idea that they should also give Christmas gifts to the new parents, Fuyumi and Kitahara Shuji. And Noki Suzuki's sleep quality is extremely poor.
I probably won't get up until noon.
Kitahara Shuji made breakfast, and everyone gathered around to eat breakfast. While eating, Fuyumi assigned tasks, including household cleaning and New Year's shopping. Moreover, her family's financial situation had improved, and she was ready to spend a luxurious time and have a good New Year.
She didn't care whether her brothers and sisters were happy or not, and forcibly assigned all the tasks. Then she looked at Kitahara Hideji and found that he was wearing the sweater she gave him. She asked with slight satisfaction: "When will you go back to celebrate the New Year?"
Everyone in the Fukuzawa family looked over, but Kitahara Hideji really wanted to stay at the Fukuzawa family to celebrate the New Year, but he couldn't, so he said helplessly: "Just for these two days."
Fuyumi stroked her hair beside her ears, lowered her head and thought about what souvenirs and new year goods she should bring back to Kitahara Shuji, but Yuki asked vaguely: "Sister, do you want Shuji to go home by himself?"
Fuyumi's thoughts were disrupted. She raised her head and glanced at her. What do you mean? He is such a big man, he can't get lost, and he is very skilled. It would be good if he doesn't rob others. Are you still worried about him being robbed?
She didn't understand what Xueli meant and scolded her directly: "Don't talk with a mouthful of food, swallow it and talk carefully! You don't look like a girl at seventeen!"
Xueli stretched her neck and swallowed the thing in her mouth, and said cheerfully: "Sister, I think so. Xiuji has helped our family so much, shouldn't we send a representative to thank him!"
This means who is the right person to go? Of course it is her. She wants to go home with Kitahara Shuji and have a good relationship with her mother-in-law.
It is often shown on TV that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a big problem, and sometimes poison and knife attacks are used. It must be dealt with properly. This is called looking at the high and looking far away...
Fuyumi was stunned, and she actually felt that what these two idiot sisters said made sense - of course, she didn't think about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but Kitahara Shutsugu, an important employee of the Pure House, the absolute pillar, so as the store manager, according to custom
You should visit your employees during the Chinese New Year to express your gratitude, and express your importance to the employees' families, which is to let the employees have face in front of their families.
Don’t underestimate face. In Japan, face is a big deal. Visiting to say thank you during the Chinese New Year can be very effective in improving employee loyalty.
It’s just that Kitahara Shuji’s home is too far away...
