Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 194

Finally, when it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, the store manager looked at the phone and said "Come", then asked Uncle Nakamura and a group of people to quickly clean up the scraps of colored paper, and then bent down from under the counter He took out two magical things... and handed them to the coffee shop clerks Xia Zhi and Mayumi respectively.

Xia Zhi held this cylindrical paper tube and felt that it looked familiar. When he saw that the lower part could actually be twisted, he suddenly realized that this thing was what he thought.

"Did you actually buy a salute gun?"

To be honest, Xia Zhi doesn't care much about his birthday, because it has no clear commemorative meaning for him.It's okay for his parents, younger sister, relatives and friends. If he had to bring Xia Zhi with him for his birthday, Xia Zhi would be very happy to celebrate with him, but he doesn't feel much about celebrating his birthday... I always feel that it's his birthday. I get 200 yuan from my parents, and then I don’t do anything, just wait for a slightly better meal in the evening.

However, this slightly better meal was basically gone when Xia Zhi started studying in the evening.Celebrating birthdays only saves pocket money.Although my mother also wanted to celebrate Xia Zhi's birthday, the idea was not as strong as Xia Meng's birthday. Xia Zhi's position at the bottom of the family was already established.

Having said that, setting off a salute on a birthday always feels like making a fuss out of a molehill to Xia Zhi. At least he has never experienced it, and he probably doesn't want such an experience himself.But it’s human nature to join in the fun, and it can be exciting, surprising, and fun. At least in Japan, children like Xiaoyao should like such surprises, right?
Xia Zhi had seen relatively few things like salutes, because there were basically no occasions where salutes were needed.Xia Zhi felt a burning gaze and looked to the side. Tachibana Aya was staring at the salute in his hand, looking very interested.But this time Xia Zhi was not prepared to give up the opportunity to her... After finally touching such a high-end prop, how could he give it away so easily?
Tachibana Aya stared at Natsuki for a long time. Seeing that her gaze had no effect, she turned her eyes to Mayumi who was holding a salute gun and didn't know what to do... Mayumi had never used a salute gun, and the store manager was teaching her how to use it. , although there is no need to teach this thing.

The guests who had gathered together to make origami cranes dispersed and returned to their seats.Natsuki walked to the opaque wall next to the door with a salute, and then watched Tachibana Aya walk to a similar position opposite him with a nonchalant expression.

Therefore, Tachibana Aya still chose to bully Mayumi to achieve her evil purpose because she felt it was interesting.But after looking at Mayumi's relieved expression, Xia Zhi wasn't ready to say anything.There are some people who become particularly cautious about this kind of thing.

"Listen up! When the door opens, you two will, eh, isn't it Mayumi? Well, forget it. When the door opens, open the salute and raise it a little... Xia Zhi, you know that is the door The position on the back, come a little further... Okay, that's it." The store manager made arrangements for Natsuki and Tachibana Aya, then turned to the customers in the store and said: "Please help me sing a song later. , today’s products are all half price!”

All the customers in the shop cheered, even Li Huacai, who was holding a salute, raised the salute and shouted "Oh oh" twice. I don't quite understand why this person who comes here every day for free is so happy because of the half price.

The store gradually returned to its previous calm, and everyone was quietly waiting for the arrival of Xiaoyao's mother and daughter.Perhaps it was because today was a little more special than usual, and the scene was quieter than usual.Not long after, Xia Zhi had vaguely heard Xiaoyao's voice: "Mom, mom, what's for dinner? Is the birthday cake big? Do you want to ask brother Xia Zhi to join us?"

"Brother Xia Zhi is in the store now, let's go over and scare him, okay?"

"Yeah!"

At this point, the sound suddenly changed from faint to inaudible. Xia Zhi could even imagine the cute appearance of the little girl speaking in a low voice in order to hide herself, and couldn't help but laugh softly.Tachibana Aya looked puzzled and glanced at Xia Zhi, not knowing why he was smiling.

After a while, the handle of the store door turned, the door was pushed inward, and the sound of the wind chime also sounded.The moment Xiaoyao stepped into the store door, the salute from Tachibana Aya exploded!It made a sound that was not loud but scary enough.

Xiaoyao, who had just stepped into the store with one foot, was startled and leaned back, slightly startled.Also shocked was Xia Zhi, who immediately reacted and immediately followed Tachibana Aya to explode the salute.There was about a second difference between the sound of Tachibana Aya's salute.

Xiaoyao screamed "ah".Well, I was originally startled by Tachibana Aya's salute when I entered the door. Before my brain could react to what happened, I was startled again by Natsuki's salute.The little girl was almost stunned.

"Happy Birthday!" X2
Xia Zhi and Tachibana Ayai said at the same time, firstly, they wanted to congratulate Xiaoyao, and secondly... they had to let Xiaoyao understand what happened first.Otherwise, it would be too miserable if the surprise party turns into a horror party.

Sister Sayuri supported Xiaoyao behind her, smiled softly, and then pushed Xiaoyao, who had just recovered, to the store: "Happy birthday, Xiaoyao."

Xia Zhi gestured to Mayumi behind him, and she understood and turned off the lights in the coffee shop.When the store became dark, the store manager slowly walked out of the employee room holding a cake with six candles.Tachibana Aya sang Happy Birthday at the right time, and everyone in the store, including the store manager and his wife, the two store clerks, and all the guests sang along——

"Happy Birthday……"

"Happy Birthday……"

While holding the cake, the store manager walked towards Xiaoyao who was already stunned.Then with the faint light, he managed to trip over a chair leg and rushed forward two steps as if he was falling forward. The entire birthday cake was almost thrown out, and the six candles turned into candles in the wind...

The store manager knelt down in front of Xiaoyao, and the happy birthday song in the store was slightly off-key.Xia Zhi almost didn't mention it in one breath, and was frightened half to death by the store manager!This is too unreliable.

The birthday cake is almost turning into a proposal cake.

After the happy birthday song ended, the store manager held the cake and placed it in front of Xiaoyao. The ladies nearby had already started taking pictures.The store manager also said in a gentle tone that made Xia Zhi's skin crawl: "Xiaoyao, happy birthday!"

"Is this for me!?" Under the candlelight, Xiaoyao's beautiful big eyes sparkled.

"Well, make a wish quickly!"

Miss Sayuri whispered in her ear.

Xiaoyao nodded quickly, put her hands together, closed her eyes and made a wish, then took a deep breath and blew out all the candles on the cake.The store then remembered the applause again, and Mayumi turned on the lights in the coffee shop at the right time.

What Xia Zhi saw was that his body was covered in confetti, but his face was filled with a happy smile.Ahhh... so cute.Xia Zhi thought of his sister hidden in the depths of his memory many years ago, and then quickly came back to his senses.

"Xiaoyao, happy birthday." Xia Zhi said with a smile.

"Ah! Brother Xia Zhi!" Xiaoyao then noticed Xia Zhi standing behind the door holding the fired salute: "Were you the one scaring me just now?"

This script is not quite right! ?Xia Zhi was confused.

"Well, that's just a trivial matter. Hahahahaha..." Tachibana Aya secretly put the empty salute behind her and hid it so that the little girl wouldn't see it.

"Okay! Come here, come here!" The store manager took the cake and led a group of people to join in the fun. Xiaoyao also watched her father take away the big cake, which was a bit... Anxious, he quickly followed, shouting "My cake! My cake!"

The cake in the store manager's hand is really big... everyone in the store can get a big piece.It's just that the sharp-eyed Xia Zhi still saw that on the top of the big three-tiered cake, the chocolate sign with Xiaoyao's name and birthday message written on it had fallen down, obviously because of the frightening foot of the store manager. caused by slippage.

Although I really want to rush up and teach the store manager a lesson, I forget it for now.

Xia Zhi thought this while looking at Xiaoyao who was handing him a cake.

"Although Brother Xia Zhi, you scared me just now, Xiaoyao still likes you very much. This cake is for you."

Xiaoyao said this, and then took another piece of cake and handed it to Tachibana Aya, "Beautiful big sister, this is for you."Tachibana Aya was conquered on the spot. She smiled and said, "You are really good at talking." She rubbed Xiaoyao's hair and took the cake.

It seems that because she will be praised for speaking like this, Xiaoyao calls her "big sister" when she catches a little sister, "big brother" when she catches a little brother, and "big brother" when she catches an uncle... but Nakamura Daiki just says "big brother". I can praise her with tears in my eyes.

Therefore, when people reach middle age, they have to admit that they have become an uncle.There are currently no people who can be called Uncle Xia Zhi, but they are coming soon, and it feels like there will be more of them in just one or two years.

"What a good boy..." Tachibana Aya sighed while eating the cake.And Xia Zhi also knew where her exclamation came from, and Xia Zhi was dismissive of it.Of course, the target was not what Tachibana Aya said, but her person.

Although this person is dishonest, what he said is quite pertinent.

At least this sentence is quite relevant.

Xia Zhi took a bite of the sweet and greasy cream cake, and then looked at the enjoying Tachibana Aya, and he discovered:

Girls are probably made of this damn sweet stuff, otherwise how could they look like they were enjoying it?
Xia Zhi discovered the truth.

　I don’t have a water stamp!real!Although the plot advancement is indeed a bit slow.

　　But this kind of subject matter is not like other books, with ups and downs in the plot.If the plot is advanced for the sake of advancing the plot, the result will be that Tachibana Aya falls in love with Natsuki at first sight, likes her to death, and then the volume is over.Then this meaningless narrative came to an end.

　　Because the layout of this story is relatively small, I want to write it a little more delicately. I hope that when the character has any thoughts or actions, you will be able to find out, "Ah, I seem to have seen it before, she does have such a personality and thoughts." ” and the like, it won’t appear too abrupt, or the character will suddenly change his personality or something.That's a bit of a waste of previous efforts.

　　I put everything I want to express into the details in the story. This is the best way for me to fill in the character.

　　It’s a slow story, let’s enjoy it slowly.

　　So far~
　　PS: I wrote this novel secretly, and no one around me knew about it except me.It won’t be a shame if it spreads... So I’m asking you guys to help me sell it. Anyway, I won’t get pregnant_(:з」∠)_
