Kitahara Ichika looked at Suzuki Noki with some surprise and doubt, and she suspected that this was her son's girlfriend. But she looked sick on her face and her body seemed to be weak. She was a little worried, but she didn't dare to say anything. She was more afraid of herself.
The son did not dare to meddle in his affairs, so he could only smile flatteringly and said: "Miss Suzuki, you are welcome, but the house is a bit simple..."
She was afraid that Suzuki Noki would turn around and leave after looking at the state of her home, and her son would go crazy again.
Suzuki Noki was not polite. She stepped forward and held Kitahara Ichika's rough hand affectionately. She smiled softly and said: "Aunt Ichika, I feel so kind when I see you. Can you just call me Noki? Qian.
Don't treat me like an outsider. Home, no matter how simple it is, is still home. I am a good friend of Kitahara-san, and I will definitely like it..."
While she was talking, she was still swaying her body from left to right, gently rubbing against Kitahara Ichika, as if she was being coquettish, and she was extremely amiable. It was a bit difficult for her to make friends with her peers, but she was particularly good at dealing with middle-aged and older women.
Kitahara Ichika's restraint was wiped away after being rubbed against her for a few times. He obviously relaxed and held her little hand behind his back. He naturally called out kindly: "Okay, Naiki!"
This kid looks easy to get along with!
Suzuki Noki was very happy and rubbed even more vigorously. She rubbed Fuyumi aside three times. She held Kitahara Ichika's hand and gently rubbed the calluses and began to lament her daily hard work. Her face was full of worry and sincerity.
Immediately, Kitahara Ichika's favorable impression increased - this child is so considerate!
Suzuki Noki felt sorry for Kitahara Ichika's hard work for a moment, and then naturally turned the topic to Kitahara Shuji, praising him for his strong athletic ability, good academic performance, excellent character, and lovable character, which immediately made Kitahara Ichika feel better.
, after all, there is no mother who doesn’t like others to praise her son - this child is so good at talking!
Of course, Suzuki Noki didn't forget to mention that she and Kitahara Shuji were tied for first place in grade, and Kitahara Ichika held her hand tighter - she was still a top student who knew how to make progress, and had both good character and academic skills.
excellent!
Not bad, good, excellent.
Suzuki Nozomi doesn't have any other intentions. She wants to have a good relationship with Kitahara Shuji's mother. For her mother's sake, Kitahara Shuji should be able to treat her better, play with her more, and follow her tastes.
Cook instead of adding more vegetables and more meat according to Fuyumi's menu - she likes shrimps, and they are cherry blossom shrimps, which are very expensive. Fuyumi only agrees to sell them in the store and is not allowed to eat them at home.
She doesn't care whether she can be Kitahara Shuji's real girlfriend, she only cares whether Kitahara Shuji is willing to play with her, whether he is willing to take care of her as considerately as he takes care of the Fukuzawa family, and whether he is willing to listen to her honestly——
She was also dissatisfied with the Fukuzawa family. She felt that she and Kitahara Shuji just got together by chance, and their relationship became deeper over time. If she had been kinder to Kitahara Shuji earlier, then it would be her turn to enjoy it——
So she tried her best to be courteous to his mother, preparing to attack Guo on the false road, surround Wei and rescue Zhao, find connections through the back door, and achieve her goal from top to bottom. But Fuyumi was unhappy. We are here for business, why are you messing around?
And Xueli was jealous when she saw Suzuki Noki nuzzling there. She also wanted to have a good relationship with her future mother-in-law, so she couldn't help but want to come forward and nuzzle her - her sister only said not to talk nonsense, but didn't say anything.
No rubbing!
As soon as there was movement in the snow, Xia Zhi Xia Sha also wanted to go up and have a good time. Anyway, she couldn't lose to the idiot second sister. Suddenly, the originally neat formation was immediately messed up.
Fuyumi wanted to scream and tell them to be honest, but she didn't dare to guard Kitahara Ichika. She was afraid that if her true colors were revealed and her grumpy nature was exposed, her evaluation would be directly deducted to -500.
Kitahara Shuji hoped that this time he would be in such a mess when he came back so that no one would care about him, but he couldn't stand in the cold wind and become a mess. He hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he quickly stepped forward and asked politely: "Look
, do you have anything to say when you go back?"
He used honorifics reserved for elders, which made Kitahara Ichika stunned for a moment.
Kitahara Shuji was not like this in the past. He was quite well-behaved when he was a child, but his temperament changed a bit after entering junior high school. At home, he would either make sarcastic remarks or lose his temper. He would not even use honorifics, and he would not even talk to him properly. Sometimes,
He also blamed his family's lack of money for always being embarrassed in school.
Kitahara Ichika stayed for a while, and then she had time to look at Kitahara Hideji carefully. Suddenly, a strong sense of strangeness came over her face - Hideji had really changed!
In front of him, Kitahara Hideji bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to support him. He looked polite and full of concern. The impatience and impetuous look on his face more than half a year ago disappeared and was replaced by apologies and worries, and he was no longer unhappy.
I feel like I am twisting my body, but I am standing evenly and steadily, and my movements are coordinated and beautiful.
More importantly, not only his behavior has changed, but his temperament has also changed. He stood there calmly, but it felt like a brewing volcano, faintly revealing the heat of Bao Bao.
It seems that he can turn from stillness at any time, bursting out with huge and shocking energy, which unconsciously makes people have a correct attitude towards him, not daring to have the slightest contempt for him.
However, this implicit powerful force is magical and does not make people feel threatened. A smile at the corner of the mouth contains this oppressive force, making people respect and feel good at the same time, which is like a spring breeze.
The young man in front of her had a steady, capable, calm and decisive aura, but it was this aura that made her feel extremely strange... In more than eight months, has this child grown up?
She couldn't help but say, "Hideji, you...you have changed so much." If Kitahara Shuji hadn't come back with a group of girls to distract her attention, she might have started to be confused.
Kitahara Shuji already had a countermeasure, and smiled calmly: "After living independently for a while, working several times, and experiencing the warmth and warmth of human relationships, of course there will be some changes... big?"
"It's very big..." If Kitahara Ichika hadn't seen that his facial features had not changed, after taking a closer look, he would have suspected that his son had been replaced by someone else.
Kitahara Shuji smiled softer and said softly: "I have to thank Mr. Fukuzawa for not only giving me a job, but also teaching me many principles of life."
Although the parents of the original owner were not fully seen, he probably knew from his mother that he should belong to the kind of mountain people who live a simple life and are harmless to humans and animals. Then he is going to implement plan A, conceal it to the end, and pretend to be someone else, so as not to hurt their feelings.
, shamelessly blaming all the changes in oneself on the Fukuzawa family——
Why don't you accept money from your family at such a young age? Little Carrot Head, ah no, Fuyumi-san is so kind and offered me a very high salary. She has a good management and is a genius at opening a store, which makes Pure Flavor House very profitable.
I get the glory by the way and live a worry-free life.
Why have my words and deeds changed? That’s because Mr. Fukuzawa taught me many times and helped me understand the true meaning of life. I began to strictly discipline myself, work hard, learn to live a down-to-earth life, washed away my impetuousness, and understood poetry.
Such things are just empty talk, negative complaining harms others and yourself, shutting up and working hard is the only way to achieve your life goals.
It’s not wrong, he did receive his salary from Fuyumi, and the old fox Naotaka Fukuzawa did teach him a lot of useful things for the future when he was drinking and chatting, such as “You can break the law only if you know the law”, “Multiple friends, multiple paths.
"Many enemies, many walls", "Don't talk nonsense when you make up your mind, kill your enemy to make up for it", etc. These can probably be regarded as life principles, right? Although they are not very serious principles...
Kitahara Xiuji finally said softly: "I have grown up, please don't worry in the future."
"Is that so?" Kitahara Ichika couldn't help but feel a little moved. It's all good, but it would be better if her own son got better!
She turned around and held Fuyumi's hand tightly, bowed deeply, and said with gratitude: "Miss Fuyumi, thank you for your father's teaching to Xiuji. I really... really appreciate it!"
There were tears in her eyes, but Fuyumi was flattered and said repeatedly: "No, that's not the case... He has been a great help to our family... This..."
What's going on? We're here to thank you, why are you thanking us? Without him, even if our family hadn't been separated, there would probably not be enough to eat right now.
He helped us get through the most difficult period and even saved our whole family once!
Haruna was also a little surprised, but she felt relieved in the blink of an eye. Onisan is really a very gentle person. He has paid so much but never takes credit. He insists on giving the credit to our family so that our family can have face in front of his parents.
...This can really be said to be very gentle and mature.
Natsuori and Natsusa exchanged glances with each other. Oni-chan and her father were drinking sweet wine behind closed doors. Were they in class? The eldest sister was secretly scolding the two of them outside, but neither of them learned well... that means they didn't scold them correctly.
, this is a handle, if you try to steal our things again, report it to Onii-chan!
Yuki nodded secretly. She really knew her father best. As expected, her father secretly taught Xiuji everything. She must be recruiting him as her son-in-law. There's nothing wrong with that!
Listening to Fuyumi's stammering words, Kitahara Ichika felt happy. She felt that Kitahara Shuci went to a big city and met a good teacher and a noble person, and then the daughter of the noble person was in front of her. No wonder she used to send greeting cards and gifts every month. It turned out to be a tutor.
Excellent, she is a lady from a famous family... She is just a little short, but that doesn't matter.
She was even more moved and said emotionally: "Fuyumi-chan, please don't be humble, I really appreciate it! I will definitely ask our head to come and thank you in person later."
Fuyumi waved her hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, please don't take it to heart...this..." She was also a little confused. Did her father really teach that kid secretly before? Didn't she teach her daughter to teach him? Could it be that the second idiot sister
You're right, dad really wants to recruit him as his son-in-law so that he can pass on what he has learned?
Fuyumi was stuck. Haruna was afraid that her eldest sister would waste Kitahara Shuji's good intentions, so she stepped forward and said quietly: "Aunt Ichika, you don't have to be polite. My father admires Onisan very much and thinks he is a naturally talented person, so he considers himself an elder.
, said a few inappropriate words, and it was only after Ou Nisang listened to them that he changed. And Ou Nisang was of great help to our family. It was only through him that our family's store could be sustained and run extremely well. It was us who
It’s time to say thank you.”
Kitahara Ichika was also being modest about Haruna. After all, Kitahara Shuji was paid a salary, so he should definitely work hard. As for the credit for the management, it must be Fuyumi, because she is the actual store manager. Kitahara Shuji had never paid a salary before.
How can I know how to run an izakaya if I work and don't even do housework at home?
Xueli was scratching her head next to her. This is my mother-in-law. What should I say to increase her favorability? She didn't dare to talk nonsense, and after thinking about it, she took out her handkerchief - all her clothes and accessories were chosen by Fuyumi -
- Stepped forward and wiped Kitahara Ichika's tears, and said seriously: "Ichika's mother, no, Aunt Ichika, our whole family likes Hidetsuki very much!"
Fuyumi reached out and gave her a secret squeeze, telling her to watch her mouth and stop talking nonsense. Kitahara Shuji was satisfied, thinking that this way the Fukuzawa family's salty eggs would be more important, and the original owner's parents were busy entertaining them seriously.
, I'm afraid he doesn't have much time to talk to himself privately - he doesn't want to be deliberately scheming, he just really doesn't want to get involved, and he can't afford the consequences.
He asked softly again: "It's getting late, so let's go back first!"
Kitahara Ichika also realized that it was almost past noon and it was time to entertain the guests for dinner. She kept saying: "Yes, go back first, go back first!" She had been preparing to entertain these young ladies from big cities seriously.
Now we need to be even more serious.
Kitahara Shuji helped her sit on the driver's seat of the tractor. He didn't know how to drive a tractor, otherwise he would drive it for her, and then began to load Fukuzawa Zhong and Suzuki Nozomi into the back bucket - he couldn't figure out why.
It stands to reason that using a tractor to pick up people would be better than getting a farm tricycle, right?
Suzuki Noki wrapped herself in a down jacket and asked with a worried smile: "Aunt Ichika, is the road far?"
After the train is finished, it is replaced by a big bus, after the big bus is finished, it is replaced by a shabby minibus, and after the shabby minibus is finished, it is replaced by a tractor. Will it be replaced by an ox cart later? After the oxen is finished, it will be replaced by a donkey? Who can bear this?
Why is the Beitahara family so remote?
Kitahara Ichika turned around and smiled apologetically: "It's not far away, about an hour's journey, but there was a landslide a few days ago. It was cleaned up, but there are still a lot of gravels on the road, so..."
Kitahara Shuji understood a little bit. Due to geological reasons, landslide accidents often occur in Japan. The mountain road back is probably blocked. It is inconvenient for ordinary cars to drive. It is safer and more reliable to use this kind of large-wheel tractor to drive over.
The tractor with small front wheels and large rear wheels made two chugs. The diesel engine was very powerful, and then it pulled a truckload of people on the road. Suzuki Noki looked curiously at Kitahara Ichika driving the tractor skillfully, and Kitahara Ichika.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked Kitahara Hideji in a low voice: "Hideji, isn't Yoko-chan here?"
Kitahara Shuji was stunned and replied softly: "Yoko-chan went to her grandfather's house. What's wrong, are you..."
Kitahara Ichika said with a smile: "Yozi-chan has been sending me emails. I am very slow to reply, but she is not impatient. She always sends, and she keeps sending me things. You can also persuade her later.
We don’t lack anything at home, so don’t keep sending us things.”
Kitahara Shuji raised his eyebrows. Yoko never told him... Why do you like to send things here? Is it Japanese custom?
He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just keep it if she sends it." Yoko is not an outsider to him, so don't worry if she sends you some food.
"I thought she would come. I thought she was very cute. She even called me mom. I really wanted to see her." Kitahara Ichika and Kitahara Hideji were talking, turning their heads to see that his expression was always gentle and not impatient at all. Finally,
It’s confirmed, Kitahara Hideji has really grown up and gotten better, his heart has gradually settled down, and his speech has become more natural. At least he doesn’t have to worry about Kitahara Hideji suddenly getting angry and losing his temper.
Kitahara Shuji smiled softly and said: "There will be opportunities in the future."
Facing the Beiyuan couple, he was always at a moral disadvantage, and he wanted to make up for it. He appeared patient and gentle, spoke softly, and answered all questions. As he spoke, he left the town and walked along a road full of potholes.
The dirt road leads into the mountains - Kitahara's home is in Otsuyama Village, a small village at the foot of Otsuyama Mountain in Tottori Prefecture.
