Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 271

When I woke up again, it was time for my mother to ask herself to eat.Xia Zhi sat up in confusion, glanced at his empty right hand, and then at the mobile phone that appeared in Xia Meng's hand that he should have controlled, so he didn't wake up as he expected. Probably because his alarm clock was turned off by Xia Meng, and the sound probably didn't last even for a second.

But thanks to her, I slept very comfortably, just like sleeping on the bed.Congratulations to myself, I wasted another three...four hours at home.

This period of time is still meaningless, but fortunately, the past is in the past and will not happen again.Xia Meng is no longer in the position where she was leaning on Xia Zhi's legs and reading a book. She has now moved back a little, and then lies on the sofa. There is no change except that it is not good for the eyes at all. Everything else is different.

"Come over and eat quickly." My mother walked back to the kitchen at some point and shouted again. Xia Zhi was about to get up, but Xia Meng was indifferent.

"Xiaomeng, get up and eat."

"...You guys eat first, I'll come after I finish this."

"I think it's better to eat first, otherwise my mother will be angry."

"……coming."

It seems that my mother is quite useful.Xia Zhi first walked towards the kitchen. His mother was putting dishes on the plate, and his father was helping to refill the meals. It seemed that there was nothing else to do by himself, so Xia Zhi found a small bench and sat down.What came into view was a table of dishes that looked a bit rich and over-the-top.

"Huh? Is it a holiday today?" Xia Zhi scratched his head: "Isn't our family just celebrating the New Year? And even if it is the New Year, this is already the third day. Isn't it a little late?"

"It's not a holiday today, are you sleepy?" Mom asked back.

"... Then today is not a festival, why are you cooking so many dishes? Don't you feel tired?"

"Today is Thursday, aren't you going to leave the day after tomorrow? Could it be that you have forgotten the time to go to Japan?" My mother's tone was questioning, and even her eyes began to gather a sense of oppression.

"Of course I haven't forgotten... So are you going to celebrate my going to Japan?" If Xia Zhi hadn't been stronger, he would have cried at this moment.

"Don't think about celebrating the New Year at home this time. Go back to class honestly. This meal is specially prepared for you to celebrate the Spring Festival in advance. I originally wanted to make it tomorrow, but I asked for a day off from my work tomorrow. Let's go buy something tomorrow." My mother had already planned everything out unconsciously.

"Is it so good?" Xia Zhi was shocked: "But I can just buy the food myself. I will eat something on the way tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I have to finish it before getting on the plane. After getting off the plane in Japan, I can just find a place to eat." There aren’t many things to buy, so I can do it myself.”

"I just know how to buy food. It's only January now. You might not come back for a whole year, right? I don't know how foreign schools arrange their time. You have to buy clothes this time. .”

"No need...I have enough clothes. Once this month is over, spring will be here, and I won't be able to wear the newly bought clothes by then."

"So this time I'm going to buy you clothes that suit the season. If you talk back again, I'll beat you up."

"I……"

This is too overbearing... Although as a high school student, Xia Zhi now has enough confidence to resist a beating, but who would ask for a beating? Isn't that mean?

"Also, I'll pack your pile of things that need to be packed first. I haven't seen you use the computer when I brought it back. Why are you carrying such a big thing back? There are also a bunch of things that you will wear in the next few months in the suitcase. Clothes, do you still want me to send them to you when the time comes? I thought you would have learned to take care of yourself after such a long time, but now it seems you are still far away..." Mom scolded Xia Zhi while saying, Put the dishes on the small table.

Xia Zhi couldn't speak. If he talked back, he would be beaten, so he simply remained silent. While listening to the words of his mother who almost regarded him as an ignorant child, he looked at the steaming delicious food on the table and almost left it. Drooling.

"You can pack things for me after dinner. As for the clothes, you can pack them tomorrow. You can also go shopping in the morning and come back and pack the boxes. For food... just go to the supermarket and buy some. Then you can Find something to eat at the station or airport, don’t think it’s too expensive, our family has money.”

"Yes, yes, I understand. Let's eat first, the food will be cold if we don't eat."

"You kid... forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow. Where is your sister?"

"I called her...Xiaomeng! It's time to eat!"

"...Coming..." He responded in a barely audible voice.

"I'll go call her. None of you two men can call her." Mom left the kitchen.

"Oh, by the way, dad, where's your wine? It's the wine you make every year at our house."

"What do you want to do?" Dad squinted and looked at Xia Zhi nervously: "I'm warning you, minors are not allowed to drink."

???

"Who asked me to drink every day for free? Forget it, I didn't want to drink it myself. I couldn't drink it. I wanted you to decorate it and bring it to me. I gave it to someone. The boss of the store where I work usually He takes good care of me. You don’t have to feel at a disadvantage. I asked him to buy some Japanese wine and send it over. I asked him if it was not bad. It was sweet and light. Mom can drink it too. You can also give it to others. At least it’s from outside, and it looks a bit more advanced.”

"Am I that kind of person? I'll install it for you as much as you want." A face that spoke righteously seemed completely unreliable to Xia Zhi.

"...The alcohol content is high, you can fill it with a mineral water bottle."

"Hiss..." Dad's face trembled: "One fifth...Forget it, it's not like I don't have to drink. I'll find you a clean bottle later for you to take with you. Don't forget my wine. , or I’ll beat you up.”

Xia Zhi didn't know how to describe his expression, but he thought it must be funny.

Xia Meng was also caught by her mother at this time. As she walked, she said, "Don't read like this next time. Think about it, if your eyes are broken, you won't be able to read even if you like it. Do you understand?" When reading, your posture should be straight and the light should be turned on."

"It's okay, I still have two spare eyes." Xia Meng's understatement made Xia Zhi feel a chill coming over him and he couldn't help but tremble.Xia Zhi was a little suspicious. The spare eyeballs that Xia Meng mentioned were growing on him.

"Don't lie down or lie down next time when you read, and remember to turn on the light when you read." Xia Zhi said sincerely when Xia Meng passed by.Then he was given a flirty look and then ignored.

Xia Meng didn't feel anything strange about the food on the table. Maybe she never cared about these things.

"We're here, let's start eating." Dad winked and said, "Today is an early New Year celebration for you. See if you like it. If you still want to eat it, go back to Japan and learn to make it yourself. "

It's okay if you don't play according to the routine. Normally, shouldn't it be a sentence like "If you have a chance tomorrow, I'll make it for you to eat"?
"Besides, I don't have anything in particular that I want to eat. Besides, there are many Chinese restaurants in Japan now. If I want to eat, I will go back and find something to eat by myself." And maybe I can enjoy high-end cuisine for free for at least a year, starting from Where is an enthusiastic female classmate?

I wish our friendship will last forever!Xia Zhi said to himself.

"Speaking of which, do you really have enough money over there? Don't I need to send you some money?"

"No. I don't participate in clubs or other activities that require money. I go to work for a while after school every day. The salary is already very good for a person like me who doesn't usually need much money. Daily life is not a problem. If If it's more stable, you can even have some spare time after paying the tuition, which is enough for emergencies." Two thousand yen a day, no big expenses, no entertainment activities, this amount of money is enough for Xia Zhi to live alone. .

"Although it's not a bad thing to get in touch with the society early, you can't leave behind in your studies. This is the most basic thing that can make people gain a foothold." My mother is worried about Xia Zhi's academic status.

"Don't worry, I'm studying hard. If nothing else happens, I might also take the college entrance examination in Japan. The process of college entrance examination there is different from ours. I'm not particularly worried. As long as I work hard, I can get an average grade. Or it’s not difficult to go to a better school.”

"That's good." Mom breathed a sigh of relief: "You didn't have any conflicts with others in school, right?"

"No, they are all nice people. It's better to say that because I am an international student, they are also very interested in me. They usually help me, or take me out to play together."

"Hmph." Xia Meng snorted softly. Only Xia Zhi, who was sitting next to her, heard it and almost broke into a cold sweat.

"That's not bad. You study there. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I can't control you. Just know how to take care of yourself. Remember to clean and ventilate frequently. If it doesn't work, just find someone to help. Please clean it up, I remember there seems to be a company over there that specializes in this kind of work, right?"

"Yes, they are all housekeeping companies. But I often clean myself, so I don't have to spend money on things like that." Xia Zhi's chopsticks wandered around the table, constantly taking away various kinds of food.

"Another thing is, although I think you may not have the courage, you should not join some weird organizations or do bad things, you know? There are so many such things abroad, and they are very dangerous."

"Don't worry. Apart from going to class and going to work, I basically spend every day in my apartment. Even if I want to, I don't have the chance. As for those weird organizations you mentioned, I don't do anything about it. I’ve seen it before. Chiba is a quiet city, and it feels like no one is willing to destroy the tranquility. It’s a good place..."

Mom chuckled softly: "Since you said that, I feel relieved for the time being. There is one last thing, you know what I'm talking about, right?"

"Huh?...Ah, I understand." Xia Zhi looked at his mother helplessly: "No need to stress it so many times, I won't fall in love. Don't worry."

Xia Zhi couldn't remember how many times he had made the same promise.
