After visiting the house, the three returned to the living room.

Kiyano Rin loses interest in the game and sits in the hearth reading a book.

Watanabe Toru plugs “Contra” into the red and white machine, and breaks through the level with Kujo Miki.

“Let’s walk in the water.”

“Miki, do you want this S bomb?”

“There is an invincible here, can you eat it? Ah? , Ran away.”

“Contra” cleared, and “Ninja Divine Tortoise 2” and “Blood Fighting” were played again. Kujo Miki was sleepy, lying on his side to sleep.

Watanabe Toru plays “Heavy Pilots” alone.

About two hours later, Akane began to appear on the horizon, and Mother Watanabe returned.

Jianze Village is far from the nearest town.

“Toru, come and help mother peel the peas!”

“Okay!”

“I’ll help.” Kiyano Rin was about to get up.

“No need, Rin, you sit down.”

“Come here quickly.” Mother Watanabe confessed to Watanabe Toru and went to the kitchen.

After a while, without seeing the Watanabe Toru silhouette, Mother Watanabe called again.

“Little Toru——?”

“Here comes!”

After a while, Mother Watanabe rushed over from the kitchen.

“Toru, what are you doing?” Mother scolded.

Two beautiful girls also looked towards Watanabe Toru.

“It’s coming soon.” Watanabe Toru manipulated the handle with a focused expression, “I’ll get the Red Wolf tank soon!”

“…”

Mother Watanabe walked over and turned off the TV directly.

“Ah—my tank! My lifelong dream! Mother, what are you doing?”

“Guests from home, I don’t know if you are going to work harder! Come and help!”

Watanabe Toru put down the handle and stood up from the quilt helplessly.

He followed Watanabe out of the living room and walked towards the kitchen.

“Didn’t Kiyano say she did it? You just let her do it.”

“Let the guests do it? Lay there and play games by yourself? How can I teach you?”

“That won’t let them eat for nothing, right?”

“What do you child think all day? Are you planning to collect money from them? By the way, finish peeling the peas , Go to the field and pull some radishes back.”

“Carrots, white radishes?”

“Which one do Xiaolin and Miki like to eat…”

p>

The two people in the living room can hear the conversation between mother and son.

When the supper was almost ready, the father of Watanabe Toru came back.

A man who is taciturn, but drank with a man in the village, likes to boasting loudly, always wears a pair of old rubber shoes, called Watanabe Tsuneo.

“Dad, did you deliver the goods?”

“Hmm.” Watanabe Tsuneo nodded.

He each minding their own business took off his rubber shoes, and had no reaction to his son who had been to Tokyo for more than half a year.

“I brought my girlfriend back this time.”

“Yeah.”

“There is another classmate.”

Tsuneo Watanabe didn’t even say anything, “I got it” and was nodded.

“You two, come and help serve the dishes!” Watanabe’s Mother’s voice came from the kitchen.

“Got it!” Watanabe Toru answered.

Watanabe Tsuneo said nothing, but walked to the kitchen with Watanabe Toru.

Watanabe’s father is such a taciturn person.

But even so, he will raise rice paddy ducks for his son and send them to Tokyo.

While eating dinner, Watanabe Toru introduced the two beautiful girls again, but he had no response.

Compared with Kiyano Rin, he said one more thing to Kujo Miki:

“Archer is giving you trouble.”

Watanabe Toru wanted Tell yourself father that Kujo Miki caused him more trouble than he did to her.

“Okay, okay,” Mother Watanabe smiled and greeted, “Hurry up and eat.”

The wooden long table, Watanabe father sits first, Watanabe mother Sit with Kiyano Rin, Watanabe Toru and Kujo Miki.

Two beautiful girls face to face.

Before saying “I started”, Kujo Miki looked at the tableware in front of him.

“Is this new?” she asked.

Mother Watanabe looked at her suspiciously, and answered subconsciously, “No.”

Kujo Miki turned to Watanabe Toru.

“Just ready to give you mine.” Watanabe Toru exchanged the tableware and dishes of the two, “This is for my exclusive use. No one has used it.”

Kujo Miki glanced at the bowls and chopsticks in the hands of Watanabe’s parents. They were indeed nodded with satisfaction.

Watanabe branch looked at this scene, looking towards Watanabe father with a vague look.

Father Watanabe did not see it.

“I started.”

After expressing gratitude for the food, I started to have dinner.

Watanabe Toru took a bite of the meal and ate two bites of food, and asked the two of them: “Are you used to eating?”

“It’s okay.” Kujo Miki said,

Kiyano Rin took a sip of radish stew and ate fried mushrooms, and said contentedly:

“Fresh vegetables, tender and delicious, I like them very much.”

“Eat more if you like, there is still in the kitchen.” Mother Watanabe said happily.

“Thank you Aunt, maybe I really want to add food.” After that, she was a little bit distressed, “but I will gain weight, so forget it.”

“You are so Thin, I think at least another ten kilograms of fat will be considered normal.” Watanabe Toru said.

“Watanabe-san, you don’t understand girls’ weight…it smells so bad!” Kiyano Rin wrinkled her snow-white face, and covered her nose.

Father Watanabe, who was stirring natto, was froze there.

Watanabe’s mother laughed heartily at the table, full of the boldness of rural women.

“This…” Father Watanabe didn’t know what to do. Without thinking carefully, he said, “I made it at home, it’s delicious, do you want it?”

Kiyano Rin shook his head vigorously: “Sorry, I can’t stand natto.”

“That…” Father Watanabe hesitated, preparing to abandon what he had at every meal for 40 years Natto.

“Please don’t care, Uncle.” Kiyano Rin pinched his nose and said with a strange voice, “I just get used to it.”

Father Watanabe hesitated for three seconds. Continue to stir the natto and pour it into the rice bowl.

“ah ha ha ha!” Mother Watanabe couldn’t smile, “Rin is so cute!”

“Aunt, I didn’t pretend to be cute on purpose, but I was really cute .”

“I understand, I understand, I can’t stand natto for so many years with his father! It’s too stinky!”

The vegetables are fresh and delicious, but Kiyano Rin is not To please; natto smells unpleasant, and she is not deliberately picking things up, she just tells the truth.

But with her etiquette, she shouldn’t just say “it smells bad”, but the natto made by Watanabe’s home is really too smelly.

Kujo Miki also frowned and warned Watanabe Toru: “You are not allowed to eat that.”

“Why?” Watanabe Toru does not eat natto, but is curious about the reason.

“Why that many do? This is an order.”

“Well, listen to you.”

Watanabe father silently ate natto rice bowl No matter what the three women say, he eats very well by himself.

The only pity is that my son did not inherit this tradition.

Watanabe’s technique for making natto has been lost from this generation.

“Right,” Father Watanabe thought of something, “Do you still plan to do the postman’s job?”

“Do it.” Watanabe Toru drank the soup. , Said’add another bowl’ to Mother-Kiyano Rin hesitated, and then ordered a bowl, “It’s okay in the morning anyway.”

“Yeah.” Watanabe father stopped speak.

After dinner, two beautiful girls took a shower in the bathroom upstairs.

Watanabe Toru was not used to soaking in a bathtub with his family and asked his parents to help build it.

Although Xiao is a bit small, thanks to it, the bathing problem of the two Eldest Young Lady is solved.

“Today is very tired, you guys rest early, and tomorrow you sleep late, I will take you to the village.”

“Well, good night.”

Watanabe Toru went downstairs and wanted to talk to his parents for a while before going to bed.

Afraid of making noise to the two upstairs, he stepped lightly. When he went to the living room, he heard the conversation between his parents.

“Father, how do you feel about Miki’s child?”

Watanabe Toru did not go in and hid outside the living room.

“How about what?” Father Watanabe asked.

“The child seems to despise us,” Watanabe said.

“Where do you look down?”

“Can’t you see? The things we used, she can’t touch them, the towels and chopsticks are fine, I will help Xiaoche tidy up today When I came back to the room, I found that the quilts on the stove were replaced with new ones.”

“Do you care about her disgusting? She lives with Archer, as long as she doesn’t dislike Archer.”

“But we are Xiao Toru’s parents.”

“Will Archer live with us in this country in the future?” Watanabe Father asked.

“Definitely not, how is this possible? Xiao Che can’t learn from Reiko.”

Reiko, an older young woman in the village.

After studying at university, I didn’t find a job, so I ran back from Osaka to farm.

Later, when the teacher retired from school, she went on the bench and got a formal job. She lived lazily every day without getting married.

We can’t blame her for getting married.

There are no young men in the village. If she wants to get married, apart from marrying an old man, only Watanabe Toru, who is a teenager, is left.

Mother Watanabe didn’t look down on Reiko. The relationship between the two was even very good. She just didn’t want Watanabe Toru to be like her.

Today, with the declining birthrate, Mizawa Village may start from Watanabe Toru this generation, and there will be no youngster who will live here.

Since she is leaving, she hopes Watanabe Toru can go to Tokyo and find a comfortable and high-paying job.

“That’s all right?” Watanabe father’s voice is steady, neither fast nor slow, “The city people look down on the country folks, and they are not Miki the child alone, but she can accept Archer, not just Explain that you like him very much? Isn’t it enough for the two to like each other when they are together?”

“But I looked at the child and drank to Cheer.”

Father Bian did not deny, saying: “It’s okay for Archer to be in charge of someone.”

“But that’s too much control, right? Didn’t you listen to her tone of voice? It’s like ordering a servant .”

“Archer is handsome and excellent in all aspects. He is not a strong wife. I don’t know what to do in the future.”

“How could my son Do that kind of thing!”

‘I’m sorry, Mother. ‘Watanabe Toru, who overheard outside the living room, silently apologized.

He didn’t want to do that kind of thing at first. He wanted to be a dedicated person. For this reason, he rejected Mai Mai several times, but in the end, there was no way.

“He doesn’t do anything, but women will do it. Can he refuse one and two, but can he promise to refuse all women?” Watanabe said.

“That’s true.” Watanabe echoed unwillingly.

The living room was silent for a while.

Watanabe Toru is about to pretend to have just arrived.

“His father, how do you feel about Xiao Rin’s child?”

Mother lowered his voice and made Watanabe Toru stop.

“Very cute child.” Father Watanabe replied perfunctorily.

Mother Watanabe was very interested, and said in a slightly excited tone:

“I think that child is very nice, polite, cute, quiet, and chatting with Xiao Toru very well. Come on.”

“Um.”

“And I think she can also control Xiao Toru.”

“You still blame Miki for being fierce Archer, I think it should be done.” Watanabe father said.

“Do you feel bad about Rin?” Watanabe lowered his voice, “I want her to be a daughter-in-law.”

After that, it seemed like Seeing Kiyano Rin calling her mother, Watanabe laughed happily.

“Archer’s own business is his own in the days to come.” This is Father Watanabe’s view on this matter.

“I’ll find an opportunity to ask Xiao Toru and see what he thinks of Xiao Rin.”

The conversation about the two beautiful girls ends here.

Watanabe asked about her husband’s delivery during the day, and then talked about preparations for the New Year, and discussed buying more expensive ingredients to entertain Kujo Miki and Kiyano Rin.

Until Watanabe Toru got married, Watanabe did not ask him about Kiyano Rin.

Maybe her husband’s previous remarks didn’t let her know what kind of answer she wanted to hear from Watanabe Toru.

December 26th, the first day Watanabe Toru returned to Iwate Prefecture.

He got up early and took up a part-time job as a postman.

He started this job after he was in junior high school in order to buy expensive tutorial books.

Before doing this, after he quit, the postman in Mizawa Village was his father.

Now I’m going to do it, just to let my parents know that he is a hard-working child and don’t need to worry about him too much.

Besides, he got used to getting up early, so he could find something to do.

It’s still dark.

The Honda Coyote crosses the field road and crosses the small bridge over the creek. On both sides is a mountain road with towering trees. The cold wind blows on Watanabe Toru’s face.

“My love has gone with the south wind——”

After changing the pillows, Kiyano Rin fell asleep very late, and again in the morning Woke up very early.

After the eyes opened, I didn’t hear the sound of Tokyo, the birdsong from outside the window, I could hear the steady breathing of Kujo Miki beside me.

She woke up softly, changed clothes, and went downstairs.

Mother Watanabe is cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

“Rin?” Hearing footsteps, Watanabe mother lifts the head, “Why don’t you get up so early, why don’t you sleep a little longer?”

“Good morning, Aunt. “After saying hello, Kiyano Rin explained, “I changed my pillow, and I am not used to sleeping.”

“What should I do?” Mother Watanabe was worried, and stopped working.

“It doesn’t matter, it only takes one night, and the second one is fine.” This is the experience gained from the summer vacation of the wind club.

“That’s good.” Mother Watanabe nodded with peace of mind and continued to process the cooking.

Kiyano Rin walked over, rolled up his sleeves, and helped wash the vegetables.

After a while, she asked, “Where is Watanabe classmate?”

For some reason, Watanabe mother seemed very happy that she asked.

“The child is going to deliver the letter.”

“To deliver the letter?”

“Well, the postman works part-time. The reference books used by Xiao Toru junior high school are all his You can save money for this job.”

Kiyano Rin nodded.

“Aunt, what kind of kid was Watanabe-san when he was a kid?”

“He…”

A melodious flute sound came from a distance.

On the high field, a bob-headed girl is practicing in front of the rising sun.

“So hardworking?” Watanabe Toru stopped the Honda Wolf in front of the girl.

Ayako Honma puts down the flute: “Watanabe?”

“It is this Uncle.” Watanabe Toru took off the helmet, and put his elbows on the handlebars.

“When did you come back!” Ayako Honma patted Watanabe Toru on the shoulder.

If it had been a year ago, Watanabe Toru would have hugged his shoulder and called out pain.

“Yesterday.” Watanabe Toru looked towards the timbre flute in her hand, “What’s the situation?”

“What else? I’ll be in the third year of high school next year. It’s the last semester. You must enter the national competition so that you don’t leave any regrets for your youth.”

“Ah.” Watanabe Toru boredly looked at the sky of Azure, “I dominate the country in the first grade. , What should I do next.”

“Do you want to die?!”

“Isn’t this Archer?” From the direction of Ayako Honma’s house, walk Here comes a middle age person, carrying a hoe.

“Honma uncle,” Watanabe Toru turned around and took out a letter from the bag, “I have your letter.”

Honma uncle took the letter and muttered “It’s the utility bill again.” Lifts the head and said to Watanabe Toru:

“Archer, I heard that you are playing on the tournament, and you pressed the number one?”

” Not the first, just the gold award.” Ayako Honma corrected.

“Isn’t the gold award number one?” Uncle Honma retorted in the tone of’daughter, don’t you be confused.’

“Yes, I am number one.” Watanabe Toru said.

Ayako Honma twitched his lips.

Uncle Honma patted Watanabe Toru on the shoulder and praised:

“True smart people are different. Even if they go to Tokyo, they can get ahead. I have long since I can see that you are a genius.”

“There, there.”

“Come to my house later, your aunt made sweet persimmons this year.”

“We must go.” Watanabe Toru put on his helmet, “Honma uncle, I sent the letter.”

“Okay!”

“Ayako, come on, don’t Leave regrets to youth~”

Honma Ayako kicked the rear wheel of the Honda Wolf.

After sending the letter, Watanabe Toru came home and smelled the aroma of breakfast.

“Mother, I’m starving to death, are you okay?” Watanabe Toru yelled, hungry, and took off his helmet.

“It’s almost done.” Watanabe replied without raising his branch, “Is it cold to ride?”

“Fortunately, the feet are a little cold.”

Watanabe Toru put on indoor shoes and walked into the kitchen.

Kiyano Rin is clearing vegetables with his sleeves rolled up.

She wore a light pink loose sweater, a beige dress that reached her ankles, and her hair was loosely tied into a bunch and attached to her back.

It looks gentle and relaxed, but also very beautiful.

“Get up so early? By the way,” Watanabe Toru remembered something, “Mother, Kiyano. She only eats half-boiled eggs. Don’t fry them all.”

After that, he looked towards Kiyano Rin, ready to ask her why she got up so early.

As a result, Kiyano Rin was looking at him with a smile. It was a gentle smile like a spring breeze.

“What’s wrong?” Watanabe Toru asked her strangely, “My hair is messed up?”

“It’s a bit messy.” Kiyano Rin said with a smile.

“Then I have to tidy up.”

Watanabe Toru went out of the kitchen, Watanabe asked with a low smile and asked Kiyano Rin:

“What about Toru? Know that you only eat half-boiled eggs?”

“I knew about the school trip and have breakfast together,” Kiyano Rin remembered the scene at the time and couldn’t help but smile, “At that time, we were still noisy whether we were fully cooked or half cooked. It’s a fight.”

“Fighting?”

“Hmm.”

Watanabe looked at the smile on Kiyano Rin’s face and didn’t ask any more. , Just followed with a smile.
