Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 53 There are not many good men like me in this world!

After waving goodbye to Natsu, Yamamoto Ryoko quickly turned around and looked at Rika Shiraishi, who was unconsciously looking in the direction of the classroom door, and curled her lips.

"Lihua."

The other party did not respond.

"Lihua!"

"Uh, huh? What's wrong?"

"You still ask me, I still want to know what you did in the morning!"

"Morning? Nothing...what..."

Shiraishi Lihua blushed, lowered her head, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"It's nothing?" Ryoko Yamamoto gritted his teeth, looking anxious as if he wanted to know but didn't know.

Something must have happened in the morning!Ryoko Yamamoto is so sure.But she didn't know exactly what happened.Ah, it would be nice if I came earlier in the morning.She felt very regretful.

"Ah! Really! There is really nothing!" Shiraishi Rika took her schoolbag and pushed Yamamoto Ryoko directly outside the classroom.

"Hey, wait, wait! I haven't picked up my schoolbag yet!"

As for Xia Zhi, he was already on his way to the coffee shop.When walking on a familiar road, people's movement speed will increase.Not long after, Xia Zhi walked to the store where there were no customers yet, and Xia Zhi said hello to the store manager.

"good afternoon."

"Oh, good lunch. Have you had lunch?"

"No. Didn't I eat in the store all Saturday? Lunch."

"That was before. Now that I have such a cute girl by my side, why do I still come to the store for lunch every day?"

"I said no!"

Xia Zhi raised his voice slightly.Because the store manager's words reminded him of being disliked by a pretty girl this morning, and his heart became heavy.

"Really? What a pity. I think back when Sayuri and I were in high school..."

"I'm going to change clothes first!"

Xia Zhi quickly escaped from the scene where the store manager was showing off, walked into the workroom and started changing clothes.When Xia Zhi walked out, the store manager had already placed a portion of curry on the counter.

"Come and eat. My favorite, the ultimate spicy curry."

"...I don't want to eat it after hearing this name."

"Hey, what a kid who doesn't understand humor."

The store manager glared at his employee rather dissatisfiedly.

"By the way, why did you come to the store to eat today? Where are Xiaoyao and Sister Sayuri?"

"They, they will come over after dinner."

"Aren't you going to eat at home today?"

Xia Zhi was a little curious.If you can stay at home to eat, you will definitely not take half a step outside, yelling "My baby girl doesn't want me anymore" all day long, and then come to the store after eating at home. But she is very caring and can even be said to be doting on her daughter.Maybe this is why Sayuri-san likes the store manager.

But the super daughter-in-law store manager actually came to the store for lunch today, which is really strange.

"Originally I wanted to eat it at home, but the superior ingredients I ordered arrived two hours ago. Because of them, I had to leave home early. After storing them, I found that it was already past the lunch time at home. I also It’s painful, damn it.”

"Are you going to develop new recipes again?"

"That's not true, they are all Xiaoyao's favorite things to eat. They will probably be made into sushi or something like that."

"You're already in the advanced stages of being a perverted daughter. There's no way to save it."

"It's so noisy! If you had a daughter as cute as Xiaoyao, wouldn't you be like me? No, after all, there is no child as cute as Xiaoyao. My child is the most adorable in the world."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xia Zhi agreed while tasting the curry which tasted quite good.Although the name is a mess, the taste is very admirable.

"By the way, Xia Zhi. Xiaoyao and I are going to the zoo this afternoon. Do you want to go with us?"

"Who came to see the store when I went there? It's not famous to begin with. If the store closes for no reason, no one will come."

"...This is indeed a bit difficult to handle, I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to apologize for." Xia Zhi didn't care, "I'm just a clerk here to work. Since you pay me wages, of course I have to do a good job."

"What a dishonest guy!" The store manager slapped Xia Zhi on the head with one hand, and Xia Zhi was caught off guard and almost got slapped into the plate of curry.

"Hey!"

"I will be really angry if I talk about shop assistants and wages in the future."

Xia Zhi could hear the seriousness in his tone, and felt a little guilty.

"...Well. Sorry, I won't do it next time."

To Xia Zhi, this family was as kind as saving lives.Today, they are also the ones who support Xia Zhi's life here. As for part-time jobs, they just reached the standard of going online a few months ago. Before that, they could almost be said to have hired someone who lost money.I am so lucky to be able to meet such kind people in a foreign country.

If one day they return to China to get married, they will probably fly there to attend my wedding.Xia Zhi vaguely had such a feeling in his heart.

"It's good to know! Eat quickly, lest Sayuri comes later and thinks I'm abusing you."

"The slap you just gave was enough to be considered abuse, wasn't it?"

"You dare to talk back? Do you believe I will deduct your wages?"

"Believe it or not, I'll tell Sister Sayuri?"

"..."

The store manager was silent. Xia Zhi knew that he had won and laughed unbridled.The store manager gritted his teeth.

"I tell you, I love her! There are not many good men like me in this world!"

"Yes, yes. Just treat it like that."

"Why do you think it's like this? Let me tell you, this is a very serious issue! You have to know..."

"father!"

The store door was suddenly pushed open, and a small figure ran in.

The store manager's expression, which was about to reason with Xia Zhi, changed instantly, looking like that of a perverted daughter.He opened his hands and looked at his daughter who was running towards her.

"Xiao Yao!"

"Brother Xia Zhi!"

Xiaoyao passed under the store manager's arm and ran straight to Xia Zhi, who was still eating curry. She jumped up and was lying on Xia Zhi's back in an instant, rushing to finish the last bite. Xia Zhi almost fell into the plate, but fortunately he managed to stabilize himself in the end.

He quickly pushed away the curry plate that twice tried to harm him, turned his head and looked at the little girl hugging his neck with a smile.

"Hey, Xiaoyao. Have you had lunch?"

"Eat with mom!"

"Really? You can't run too fast just after eating."

"Hmm! Hehe..."

When Sayuri-sama walked in, the store manager was still half-crouched with his arms open to the store door, as motionless as a stone statue.His own daughter was lying behind a young international student from China, playing with him.Being smart, she understood what happened in an instant and smiled.

"Xiao, Xiaoyao..."

The store manager seemed to have lost his soul and muttered in a low voice.

"Good afternoon, Sayuri-san."

"Good afternoon, Xia Zhijun."

He smiled and said hello to the boy, and then tried to get his daughter off the boy's body.

"Xiaoyao, come down quickly. Brother Xia Zhi must be working very hard."

Xia Zhize said with a smile before the little girl could: "It's nothing. On the contrary, I am happier. Right, store manager?"

"Ugh! Damn it!" The store manager looked at Xia Zhi through gritted teeth.

Sayuri was used to this scene and just let them do whatever they wanted.

"Oh, by the way, Xia Zhijun, we are going to the zoo today. Do you want to go together?"

"Ah, the store manager has already told me about this matter. Although I am glad that you invited me, I have to stay and visit the store."

"It won't be a big problem if we occasionally close for a day, right?" Sayuri was a little confused.

"That's what I told him." The store manager spread his hands and removed himself first.

"That's what I say, but I always feel a bit sorry to let people who came with high expectations leave disappointed."

Although this is one of the reasons, it is a little ambiguous.Xia Zhi thought about it again.

"Besides, thanks to you taking care of me for so long, I would be very happy if I could be of some help."

"Didn't you just say not to say such things?"

The store manager was a little dissatisfied.

"I don't mean anything." As for what it means, the store manager and Sayuri-san should be able to understand. "I just want to help."

Sayuri glanced at the helpless store manager and smiled.

"Since Xia Zhijun is so persistent, I won't say anything. Can I bring you something delicious when I come back?"

"That's really nice."

Xiaoyao hugged Xia Zhi's neck and asked unhappily: "Brother Xia Zhi, isn't he going?"

"I won't go this time. So I have a task to give to Xiaoyao."

"What mission?"

Xiaoyao's eyes were sparkling and full of expectation.

"Well, let me think about it... I want to see pictures of giraffes and lions. Can you take them for me?"

Xiaoyao let go of his hands and landed on the ground. After standing up straight, he performed a nondescript military salute.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"Yeah. I'll wait for you to come back with anticipation. If I take the photo, I'll share half of the delicious food with you. How about that?"

"Really? Great!"

The little girl held her mother's hand and shook it.

"Mom, mom, let's go!"

Sayuri touched her daughter's head.

"it is good."

"Then I'm going to change clothes."

"Father, hurry up!"

The store manager went to the employee room to change clothes, and it only took less than half a minute to change into a set of casual clothes. One can imagine how much weight Xiaoyao's words "Hurry up, daddy" just had.

"Goodbye, brother Xia Zhi!" Xiaoyao walked out the door first, bouncing around.Sayuri followed her out: "Xia Zhijun, let's go, see you tonight."

"OK, all right."

The store manager stood at the door of the store, holding his cell phone and shaking it towards Xia Zhi.

"If anything happens, just call me."

"Got it. Bon voyage!"

"Ah."

The shop door closed, and the sound of the wind chime gradually became smaller and disappeared.The breeze blew in from the ventilation window and blew on Xia Zhi's face, which was very comfortable.

Finally, the coffee shop became silent.

"Then... let's work..."

Xia Zhi muttered to himself.
