The glory of Kyoto wings

Chapter 184

At noon, Minamoto Raikou was left to eat. For some reason, Grandma Shimizu seemed to be in good spirits after recovering from a serious illness, so she dragged him and talked a lot.

No special cooking was done, but the salt soup noodles in the pot looked clear and watery, with a few pieces of emerald green scallions floating around, and the color was not cloudy.

But the salt taste is just right, and it doesn't have the umami taste of common dishes. To be honest, it just suits his appetite, and he hasn't eaten non-greasy noodles for many days.

"When people get old, their skills can no longer be used. I think the salt ramen I made back then is much more flavorful than it is now."

Grandma Shimizu put down her chopsticks, picked up the teapot to store water in their cups, pursed her lips as if she was savoring the taste, and couldn't help but sigh again for a while.

The teacup was handed over.

Minamoto Raikou stretched out his hands to take it.

"It's still delicious."

Looking at the noodle soup that had been scooped up, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "Although it's just a simple noodle, it tastes more at ease than the food at the restaurant."

That's not a compliment either.

This bowl of salt noodle soup is very suitable for the oriental appetite, and it is the kind of everyday food. After all, the food kiosks outside use heavy salt and heavy oil for the sake of taste.

When you are used to eating clear soup with little water, it is a joy at first sight to eat delicacies from mountains and seas. When you are used to eating the latter, you can eat home-cooked meals, and you will feel good once in a while.

Listening to Minamoto Raimitsu saying that he likes to eat, Grandma Shimizu smiled, but she didn't continue to talk about this topic, she just shook her head and said:
"It's far worse than the past. When you get older, you can't do anything well. This future belongs to you young people. Don't waste your good time."

"Although we are young now, we will grow old one day. You don't need to be so pessimistic."

"Oh! The old lady didn't live as thoroughly as you. This sentence is right. Indeed, everyone will grow old, so before dying, at least you have to do something you want to do."

Minamoto Raimiko and Shimizu Grandma were talking to each other at the dining table, while Sakihatsu Koto ate with his head buried next to him, just peeking up from time to time.

Grandma Shimizu was probably very talkative in the first place.

Coupled with the fact that he was seriously ill some time ago, there was no one to talk with him when he was hospitalized, and he stayed at home all day after he was discharged from the hospital, so he couldn't stop talking.

And Minamoto Raimitsu is relatively free today.

In addition, most of what the other party said were interesting things in the countryside, as well as the living habits of the previous Showa era, he himself still listened with gusto.

Saki Hatsu Koto didn't make a sound the whole time.

He just cleaned up the dining table carefully, then ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes and pans, and swept the floor by the way, quietly like a diligent kitten.

"A Teng." Granny Qingshui suddenly turned her head and said to her, "I'm planning to go back to my hometown tomorrow."

"Ah! Back, back to my hometown?" Saki Hatsu Koto, who had just put the broom by the wall, was stunned, and subconsciously blurted out: "But isn't the house in my hometown already?"

The house in her hometown has been sold by her.

But she didn't dare to say that.

Although it is to raise money for grandma, the house in my hometown symbolizes the ancestral house, which contains the life memories of several generations, which is more important to the elderly.

Grandma Qingshui also noticed something strange, she smiled and didn't mean to blame her granddaughter, she just put down her rolled up sleeves and said relaxedly:
"Your grandma and I still have some friends. The old man of the Mingshan family has left, and she is very lonely living there by herself. I asked a question and planned to be a companion."

"But."

"Don't persuade me, I stay here and stay at home all day, even if I don't die of illness, I will suffocate to death."

Seeming to be well aware of her granddaughter's temperament, Grandma Shimizu's complexion suddenly became tense, showing a strong character, and she complained a little bit angrily.

Although the original intention of the words is to complain.

But Minamoto Larimitsu at the dining table could clearly sense the sadness flashing in Grandma Shimizu's eyes.

Not to mention that he loves his granddaughter in the first place, even according to normal logic, it is impossible to blame the little girl.

"I can go out with you every day in the future."

Saki Hatsu Koto obviously doesn't understand, her emotional intelligence has always been worrying, but this is both a disadvantage and an advantage, otherwise Miyoko Shimizu would not think that her granddaughter has the potential to be Minamoto's wife.

Sometimes it's better to be silly.

If you are too smart, you will be delayed, and you will not be favored. Great wisdom and foolishness are the bright way.

"Why is this kid so ignorant? I just want to go back to live, and you have to prepare for the exam. What nonsense are you talking about going out with me every day?"

Grandma Qingshui pretended to be angry, but she actually heard that she still didn't want to delay her granddaughter by staying here.

Even Saki Hatsu Koto could hear this sentence, but she also knew why her grandma did this, so she lowered her head and remained silent.

"Then, how do you live at home?"

"Although I'm old, I won't starve to death. I still know how to do some crafts. At worst, I can apply for a relief fund."

Grandma Shimizu showed a smile on her wrinkled face, but she didn't care about how to live.

But these words made Saki Hatsu Koto even more uncomfortable.

She just felt powerless and always thought that she could help, but it was often not ideal. Although she did the right thing, she still couldn't hide her sadness.

Saki Hatsu Koto trembled slightly.

"I am still"

"In that case, I'll send someone to take you back after you pack up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Before Sakatsu Koto finished speaking, Minamoto Yorimitsu who was sitting next to him suddenly spoke, instantly attracting everyone's attention, and the scene was quiet for a moment.

Seeing this, Saki Hatsu Koto opened his mouth.

But nothing came out.

But Grandma Qingshui's eyes flashed strangely, and she reacted in the blink of an eye, she smiled and nodded, "Then I really count on you tomorrow."

Just after Minamoto Raimitsu made the final decision.

Even if this matter came to an end directly.

Minamoto Raimitsu did not leave after eating.

Instead, she was pulled directly into her room by Saki Hatsu Koto, who lowered her head and looked a little hesitant.

Said to measure the body size.

It was not clear what to do.

Saki Hatsu Koto's room was very clean, unchanged from the last time he came here, the sheets were pink striped, and there were two bunny dolls on the bedside.

The only thing that can be called a change.

Probably the last time Minamoto Raikou came, the table next to the wall in the room was basically filled with handmade products such as origami, which were used for part-time jobs to make money.

But now there are stacks of books. Minamoto Larimitsu flipped through them at random, and they were the previous years' test questions for the public examination.

He is very satisfied with such a change.

Because it means that the little girl is on the right track.

While Minamoto was observing secretly, Saki Hatsu Koto walked over with a tape measure, and said with some embarrassment: "Please raise your lower arms."

"is this OK?"

Minamoto Raimitsu raised his hands outward.

"It's better to raise your arms higher, try to straighten your chest, and your waist needs to be straighter."

Saki Hatsu Koto stood in front of him, about a dozen centimeters away, could clearly smell the sunlight on his clothes, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Yuan Laiguang followed suit, but looked at the little girl fiddling with the tape measure, thought for a moment and then smiled and asked, "Why do you want to measure me all of a sudden?"

"I, I suddenly want to know, so I want to measure."

Saki Hatsu Koteng was asked suddenly, she was a little stunned for a moment, and held back for a long time before choking out this sentence.

She lowered her small face, her crow-feather-like hair covered her large cheeks, and she measured his size clumsily with her hands and feet, obviously she didn't have much experience before.

But her evasive answer is not uncommon for Minamoto Raimitsu. He raised his hands and thought for a while and asked:

"You don't want to buy me clothes secretly, do you?"

"No." Saki Hatsu Koteng paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head, her eyes were more evasive than before and said: "I don't want to buy clothes for you."

"That is to make clothes for me?"

Minamoto thought for a moment and asked again.

As soon as he said this, Saki Hatsu Koto's body visibly trembled, and even the tape measure in his hand shrank back, making a snapping sound.

She froze in place.

He stared blankly at the tape measure in his hand.

When Minamoto Raimiko saw this, he also knew that he had guessed correctly, but then he didn't feel very good. After all, she should be preparing a gift, and she was indeed a bit disappointed when she was guessed, especially for her.

"Cough-cough-"

Minamoto Raimiko coughed, looked at the dazed little girl in front of him and thought for a while, then changed the subject and asked:
"Grandma Qingshui will go back tomorrow, and you don't want to let her go back, is it because you are afraid that it will be difficult to live under the fence?"

Saki Hatsu Koto recovered after hearing the words.

When grandma was mentioned again, her attention was diverted as expected, a sad expression appeared on her fair cheeks, she wrinkled her nose and fell silent for a while.

Even if it is a friend or even a relative for many years.

Living in someone else's house is undoubtedly a troublesome thing for others. It doesn't matter for a few days, but after a long time, there will be problems after all. Even close relatives living together have conflicts, let alone just friends for many years.

Although her emotional perception is relatively poor, it does not mean that she is stupid in logic, otherwise she would not have been admitted to Kyoto University, let alone her academic ability here.

"Ah."

She nodded hesitantly.

Biting her pink lower lip.

Finally admitted his mind.

"Then you wait here for me."

Before Sakatsu Koto raised his head completely, Minamoto Raimitsu who was beside him suddenly walked away, walked to the living room outside the room, and came back ten seconds later.

It's just that Minamoto Raimitsu did not come back empty-handed this time, but took the file bag just now.

Under Saki Hatsu Koto's anxious gaze, Minamoto Raimitsu handed over the document bag in his hand, looked into her eyes calmly, and then spoke.

"this is for you."

The little girl obviously hadn't reacted yet, she was a little dazed with the tape measure in her hand, and she didn't come back to herself until she saw Minamoto Raimiko take out the things in the file bag.

And in her gradually focusing sight.

[Registration Identification Information], [Copy of Registration Book], [Certificate of Ward Office Real Estate Transfer] Several forms printed in bold type came into view.

Saki Hatsu Koto suddenly widened his eyes.

The brain froze for a moment.

But when Minamoto Yorimitsu took out the form by himself, he also lifted it up, twirling the top with his fingers and getting close to Saki Hatsu Koto's eyes so that she could see clearly.

[District], [Location], [Area of ​​Public Book], and [House Number] also appeared one after another.

But what made her look dull was.

She was very familiar with all the above data and housework numbers, and after confirming it several times in her heart, she realized that this was actually her old house!

------

When she learned that Minamoto Yorimitsu had bought the ancestral house and planned to donate it to Saki Hatsu Koto for free, the news undoubtedly shocked Granny Shimizu.

Although he knew Minamoto Raimitsu was rich.

But neither Sakatsu Koto nor Shimizu Grandma ever thought of reaching out to ask for it, or through hinting, nor did they ever think about it.

Although they are poor, they are also full of heart. They are not people who follow others. They may not have much cultural background, but they also know the truth of repaying kindness.

I already asked for too much, how could I have the face to reach out, just being grateful is already beyond my control.

Not only did he cure the disease, but now he bought the house.

This kind of human relationship can't be clear!
But it wasn't clear at first, and she didn't plan to pay back the favor, so Grandma Qingshui's eyes became more determined, and she rarely looked at Yuan Laiguangyi as old-fashioned.

In the afternoon, when Grandma Shimizu was unwilling to let Yuan Laiguang go, the latter thought it was because she was too grateful, so she planned to express her gratitude to herself.

But at the end of dinner, at ten o'clock in the evening, there was still no intention of releasing him!
He even asked Minamoto to stay overnight.

He didn't want Granny Shimizu to plead sincerely.

In the end Minamoto Raimitsu had no choice. Although he didn't understand the other party's mind, he decided to stay.

After all, the apartment has three bedrooms and two living rooms.

There just happened to be a room to live in.

And tomorrow I will arrange for Yong Shanying to go to Ruisui Town to take the old man home. It would be good to help pack things during the day, but I have nothing important to do these two days.

But when Minamoto Larimitsu was about to go to bed after going to the toilet, he finally found something abnormal!
"How much is this dose?"

"Just about a spoonful."

"Wait! Why do you use a big spoon for soup! You should use a small spoon for seasoning!"

"Huh? Me, did I make a mistake?"

"You child, put so much, the color of the water has changed! And just this dose, not only is not good for Ah Guang's health, you can't handle ten of them!"

"Then I'll put it down a little bit."

A rustling sound came from the open door of the kitchen, and strange but thought-provoking words fell on his ears, making Yuan Laiguang stop for a moment.

Until the hidden door is about to be opened.

Only then did he regain his senses, lowered his footsteps and returned to the room, and within ten seconds there was a knock on the door.

"Guangguang-jun, I'm coming in."

Wearing a white nightgown, Saki Hatsu Koto walked in with her head bowed, holding a glass filled with a light yellow liquid in her hand, standing by the door hesitantly.

Minamoto Raikou, who was sitting at the table, nodded.

Only then did she dare to take a step forward, walked up to him with her head down, put down the glass and reminded in a low voice:
"This is the honey water I just made. Grandma said that drinking a cup before going to bed is good for the stomach. Let me bring you a cup."

"Okay, leave it alone, I'll drink it later."

Minamoto looked at the cup and fell into thought.

See he didn't mean to speak.

Seeing this, Saki Hatsu Koteng opened his mouth, his small face felt a little guilty, and he wanted to retreat in his heart.

"Then I'll go first."

After saying this, she hurried away.

Somewhat like being a deserter.

But before Minamoto Raimitsu looked at the cup of honey water on the bedside table for too long, the door that had been closed just now was reopened by Saki Hatsu Koto.

"That, light, light-kun"

Minamoto Raimitsu turned his head following the sound.

I saw Saki Hatsu Koteng hugging a pink pillow tightly in his arms, his body in pajamas was trembling slightly, and his delicate cheeks were faintly red.

She lowered her head slightly, covered up her shame with slender bangs, and said in a trembling voice:
"Can I sleep here?"

After saying these words, her face became even redder, her head was almost buried in her chest, her earlobes were even more rosy and translucent, and the skin on her body seemed to be steaming.

Not to mention staring at Minamoto Raimitsu.

It's just that I stood there blankly, looking very nervous, as if I was afraid of being rejected.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

The atmosphere also gradually became ambiguous.

But there was no response for a long time, and Sakatsu Koto's heart gradually sank, but when she wanted to endure the shame and leave, Minamoto Raimitsu suddenly spoke.

"Then let's sleep together tonight."

The words were like falling drumsticks.

In an instant, Sakatsu Koto's heart beat faster.

It worked!
Stayed again!

Just let him drink water!
She walked over nervously, looked at the cup in front of Yuan Laiguang and pursed her lips, her eyes flickered under her slender bangs, and she stammered to remind:

"You, drink it quickly. You can't drink cold honey water. If you don't drink it, it may be cold."

After she said this, her heart was beating violently, but she still kept her face as natural as possible.

She never lied successfully.

I feel that the lying this time is absolutely stable!
But after half a minute, Minamoto Raimitsu did not drink the glass of honey water, but looked at her strangely.

She panicked when she saw this look.

She had seen Minamoto Raimitsu's eyes many times.

For example, I was exposed for lying, or I wanted to reprimand myself, and I was about to reprimand myself.

But this kind of strange look is the first time!
She wanted to run away for no reason.

I can remember what my grandma said.

This panic turned into determination in an instant.

Seeing that Minamoto Raikou did not move for a long time, Saki Hatsu Koto was secretly anxious, did not see his strange expression, but couldn't help but picked it up and handed it over.

Minamoto Raikou still looked strange.

Staring at the honey water in her hand hesitantly, she didn't intend to take it, she obviously didn't intend to drink it, which made her couldn't help poking the cup over.

"Why don't you drink?"
