It has to be said that the smaller the corner shop, the easier it is to get unexpected surprises. This seems to be common in every East Asian cultural country.
It's still salty though...
The sound of footsteps came, and the ramen uncle who had been busy in the back kitchen before stepped on clogs and came out, standing at the table of Li Yexing and Qiandaotong, seeing Li Yexing eating with his head buried, the expression on his face With a hearty smile, he said, "How about it, young man? Are you satisfied with my craftsmanship?"
"Uncle Noto is asking Yexing-kun if he is satisfied with the ramen in the store." Hitomi Qiandao translated to Li Yexing, licking the soup from the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue.
Looking at the ramen in front of him, and then at the ramen uncle with a little expectation in his eyes, Li Yexing gave the ramen uncle a thumbs up and said with a chuckle, "It's great."
Chapter 5. Macho Hokkaido ([-])
Whether it is for Li Yexing or Qiandao Tong, it does not take too long to wipe out a bowl of ramen. After drinking a big mouthful of noodle soup, Qiandao Tong put the paper bag in front of Li Yexing with words of blessing for her into it. In the pocket, then put down the chopsticks, and said with a satisfied face: "Thank you for the hospitality."
Seeing Hitomi Qiandao's meal finished, Li Yexing stood up and walked towards the counter subconsciously. It wasn't until he met the Ramen Auntie's not so eager eyes that he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to be able to speak Japanese.
After thinking about it, Li Yexing took out a stack of banknotes, handed them to Hitomi Qiandao who also stood up and had just put on a padded jacket, and said in a low voice, "Leave the money with you."
"Well..." Hitomi Qiandao did not refuse Li Yexing's suggestion. She took the banknotes handed over by Li Yexing and came to the counter. She was about to pay the bill, but she heard the ramen aunt wave her hand and said: "Forget it, Hitomi, I'll treat you this time, after all, it's been such a long time..."
"How can this work?" Seeing that the ramen aunt didn't intend to take money, Hitomi Qiandao's smile became a little forced, and she said softly, "It's because I haven't taken care of your business for a long time that I should pay more... .”
"Let's save this money and do something else. Today's meal is my uncle's invitation to your young couple. Your aunt is right. After all, it's been a long time..." The ramen uncle wearing clogs said with a smile : "If you really want to take care of our business, then why don't you bring your husband here more?"
"But..." Seemingly unable to accept the matter of eating plain rice, Hitomi Qiandao looked a little awkward. At this moment, Li Ye walked up and patted her on the shoulder, then whispered to her: "Forget it, accepting other people's kindness is also a very important part of interpersonal communication. If you evade other people's kindness when it is inappropriate, the relationship between people will become rusty."
Although he couldn't understand Japanese, Li Yexing was able to guess exactly what happened when he saw Hitomi Qiandao and the ramen couple evading back and forth.
"Yes...is that so..." On the other side, hearing Li Yexing's words, Hitomi Qiandao's brows showed a trace of entanglement and hesitation. After a while, she finally stuffed the money back into her pocket. pocket, and then bowed to the Ramen couple: "Thank you Uncle Noto and Aunt Noto."
"Oh, what a cute child..." Facing Hitomi Qiandao, the ramen lady immediately showed a kind smile, while the rather generous-looking ramen uncle smiled and nodded to Li Yexing and said: " Not pretentious at all, really a nice young man."
Although he doesn't understand Japanese, Li Yexing probably guessed that the other party should be praising him, so he squeezed out a kind smile and nodded to Uncle Ramen. On the other side, Uncle Ramen said with a smile: "By the way , you better stop laughing, that face is like the prajna tattoo on the back of Jidao."
"Yes, yes, you are right." Li Yexing, who can't understand Japanese, nodded at the ramen uncle, and the corners of his mouth pulled even wider. This smile was like a ghost, and the ramen lady behind the counter was shocked. She frowned, and after a few seconds of entanglement, she couldn't help but whispered to Hitomi Qiandao: "Son, what does your husband do?"
"Security contractor..." I didn't know how to explain Li Yexing's occupation, and in the end, Hitomi Qiandao could only choose a more mellow statement.
"Oh, security, no wonder..." Aunt Ramen, who doesn't know what a security contractor is, obviously made a mistake, she nodded seriously and said, "This way I understand that it is indeed easier to scare people with a more vicious face." Get back those violent elements who come to make trouble."
"Safety...contractor?" On the other side, after hearing Hitomi Qiandao's words, Uncle Ramen's expression became a little ugly. He looked at Li Yexing who was smiling all over his face, and he muttered softly: "Oh my god, isn't this Is it even more exaggerated than Shinjiro?"
After a short exchange of greetings, the time for parting finally came. Standing at the door of the store, the ramen lady looked sad, as if she was about to cry, while the ramen uncle took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and just stuffed them into his mouth. Li Yexing walked up quickly knowingly, and lit the lighter for Uncle Ramen.
Li Yexing, a security contractor, personally helped light the cigarettes, and Uncle Ramen's hands trembled violently.
"Uncle, aunt, you go back quickly, it's cold outside..." On the other side, Hitomi Chishima was still urging, for fear that Uncle Ramen and Aunt Ramen would be frozen.
"Then you... you should come back often..." Aunt Ramen said in confusion.
"That's right, don't let us two old guys wait too long..." After a moment of struggle, Uncle Ramen took a deep look at Li Yexing, and then whispered to Hitomi Qiandao: "If your husband dares to bully you, Just tell me, and I will teach him a lesson."
As he said that, Uncle Ramen also showed off his thick and dark arms.
"Don't worry, Yaxing-kun won't bully me..." Smiling at Uncle Ramen and Aunt Ramen, Hitomi Qiandao hugged Li Yexing's arm like a girl in love, her eyes full of admiration and admiration, She softly said to Uncle Ramen: "Besides, Yexing-kun is super powerful, even Uncle Noto, he will definitely not be able to win against Yexing-kun!"
"Don't underestimate my second stage of Aikido!" Ramen uncle patted his chest hard, speaking in a contrived Kansai accent.
In the end, under the watchful eyes of Li Yexing and Hitomi Qiandao, Uncle Ramen and Aunt Ramen returned to the shop step by step.
At this moment, it was already a little late, and the street lamp had just been turned on, illuminating the silver-white snow field under the light. In that light, pieces of snowflakes were falling, and shadows were drawn in the bright white. Standing under the street lamp, Looking at the small ramen shop behind which the plaque had just been lit up, Hitomi Qiandao suddenly turned to Li Yexing and said, "This is the place where Father and Mother met for the first time."
"Oh, I have some impressions..." Li Yexing said softly as if he suddenly remembered something, "You seem to have told me before."
"Uncle Noto and Aunt Noto are friends of my mother. They have known each other since they were very young..." Turning his head and leaning against Li Yexing beside him, Hitomi Qiandao stared at the whiteness under the street lamp, as if recalling Thinking about something, she said in a daze: "Aunt Noto has always been resentful about the matter of my mother marrying my father. She always feels that my father took my mother away from her..."
"Japan is only a big place, and Hokkaido is not far from Changye..." Li Yexing didn't quite understand the emotion of the ramen aunt, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you really miss it, then go to Changye to have a look." Soon?"
"How can it be so simple?" Hitomi Qiandao smiled wryly and shook his head, and explained to Li Yexing softly: "This distance is not the distance between Changye and Asahikawa, but the distance between ordinary citizens and the Jidao family. After all, it is a violent society, and my best friend is going to marry the future leader of the violent society, this kind of thing, I am afraid it is difficult for Aunt Noto to accept it?"
After a slight pause, Hitomi Qiandao continued: "What's more, my mother is weak and sick, and she left very early. I think Aunt Deng can subconsciously blame these things on my father..."
"So, that's how it is..." Recalling the proprietress's vague hostility when he was in the ramen shop just now, Li Yexing said in a low voice: "No wonder..."
Chapter 6. Macho Hokkaido ([-])
When Li Yexing stepped forward again, accompanied by the soft sound of stepping on the snow, he followed Hitomi Qiandao towards the front illuminated by the street lights, all he knew was that the proprietress of the ramen shop disliked him, he would not know, When he was standing under the streetlight with Hitomi Qiandao, the proprietress vaguely saw a silhouette flashing by. It was more than [-] years ago, on the same street, under the same streetlight, with the same long hair. The girl, and the vicious, inarticulate man.
Although the snowflakes in the air were not flying all over the sky as before, they did not stop and dissipate. Walking in the snow and holding Li Yexing's hand, Qiandao Tong suddenly turned his head and asked with a light smile, "Speaking of which, Mr. Yexing is here. Asahikawa, is there any place you want to go in particular?"
"I don't know..." Shaking his head, Li Yexing frowned slightly and said, "To be honest, I don't know anything about Hokkaido at all, and I didn't read any travel guides before I set off..."
After speaking, Li Yexing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled at Qiandao Tong: "Besides, isn't there a tour guide here? Why should I look at those things? I'm in trouble."
"Ah, it's really like what Yaxing-kun would say..." There was a trace of helplessness at the corner of his mouth, but there was undisguised love in his eyes. Hitomi Chishima chuckled and said: "Since this is the case, let me think Think, think..."
While leading Li Yexing forward slowly, he raised his head and looked at the snowy sky. Hitomi Qiandao frowned slightly and pursed his lips, as if he was really thinking about where to take Li Yexing. It didn't take long , as if thinking of something, a stream of light flashed in her eyes, then she turned her head and smiled at Li Yexing and asked, "Speaking of which, does Lord Yexing like small animals?"
To be honest, for this question, Hitomi Qiandao just had the mentality of asking casually. After all, in her impression, Li Yexing didn't seem like a person who liked small animals, but it was beyond her expectations, and she only listened to Li Yexing. With a happy face, he nodded hurriedly and said, "I like it! I like small animals so much!"
"Really?" Hitomi Qiandao looked quite surprised by Li Yexing's answer.
"Of course it's true..." Holding Qiandao Tong's hand tightly, Li Yexing raised his head, smiled as if reminiscing about some good memories: "I remember, it was about...eight years... .No, it might have been nine years ago. I received a commission from a militia organization in Ukraine. At that time, I was in the mountains and fought against the mountain troops of the R country. Conflict, my mother, I have to say that country R's mountain troops are too difficult to deal with, now that I think about it, I'm still afraid..."
"Wait..." Seeing that Li Yexing was about to bring up the glorious history of dealing with the R country's troops, Hitomi Qiandao couldn't help asking in a low voice: "What does this have to do with small animals?"
"Of course it has something to do with it! Listen to me slowly..." Facing the street lights, with an expression on his face like that of a male high school student who wants to show off his competition results to his girlfriend, Li Yexing said happily to this The atmosphere of love was completely out of tune, and it was even a topic of disobedience. He said slowly: "That year, the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and the fighting conditions were very harsh. I am not very used to this low temperature. Then, the team that hired me wore white clothes and ambushed a scout force from country R in the mountains. At that time, we were condescending and took advantage of the terrain, but the fight was still very difficult. , They even directly carried the machine guns as rifles and fired, the firepower was ridiculously fierce, and I was stunned..."
After a slight pause, Li Yexing continued to meet Qiandao Tong's slightly curious eyes, "I'm telling you, Tong, from you to Tiililian, Mu Qing and Alexisa, there is nothing wrong with you." You have fought this kind of battle before, so you don’t understand. This kind of small-scale battle is afraid of procrastination. If you procrastinate, there will be more troubles. Because the group of old men has not been able to be defeated for a long time, so it didn’t take long. Air support came, and two gunships fired at our position, and except for me who slipped away quickly, all the stupid Ukrainian birds were painted on the ground."
