Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 62 Burden
After dinner at Shangzi's house, Naruse helped wash the dishes, chatted with Konoka and his wife for a while, and then went back to his home.

Afterwards, he went out to Morimi Kohonen, and seeing that Ichiyo didn't go home, but stayed at the bookstore, he made sure that she would be responsible for tutoring Hai Xing to the end.

"Irresponsible," she told him.

"Thank you. Work hard. I'm going back."

"Thank you for not buying the book."

She can be joking now, it seems that her mood has really improved a lot, Naruse thought.

And he had planned to buy books, after choosing for a while, after paying the bill, Senjian walked out of the bookstore with him.

He went home, she was going to starfish.

"Narase."

"Huh?" He turned around.

Sen Jian looked at him, "Did you ask me to tutor Hai Xing on purpose?"

"Yes."

"why."

"That girl is too stupid, I really don't have the patience to teach her any more."

She smiled.

"I'll tell you the truth."

Naruse raised his eyebrows, but didn't answer.

"Good night." She waved her hand and turned to the real wood hotel.

Naruse also turned to go home, and as soon as he reached the door, Shangzi came from the next door.

"Has Chun Hai gone out?"

"I went to the bookstore." He showed her the book in his hand.

Shangzi took a second look, "Has Yiye gone to tutor Haixing?"

"Ah."

"That's good." She nodded, and motioned for him to open the door, "I want to use the kitchen."

"doing what?"

"convenient."

Shangzi turned his head towards his own house, "Mom and Dad will go back to the institute after attending the three-way interview tomorrow. They won't eat well when they are busy, so I want to prepare some lunch boxes, at least for the next two days..."

"I see." Naruse didn't say much, opened the door and entered the room, ready to take a bath.

Shangzi came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, looked at the remaining ingredients, and prepared skillfully.

After Naruse came out of the shower, he remembered to ask her why she didn't prepare it in her kitchen.

"Because I prepare it at home, my parents will say no trouble if they see it," Shangzi said.

really careful...

Naruse wiped his hair, "How much do you need to prepare, do you need my help?"

"Well, Chunhai give me a taste."

He walked over and immediately frowned.

"Wow."

On Shangzi's chopsticks was a piece of freshly cooked broccoli, tender and plump.

"It's obviously delicious, and it's also rich in vitamins."

"But it's completely tasteless."

Naruse took it with a frown, and took a small bite under Naoko's gaze.

"It's ripe."

"that is it?"

"Unappetizing."

Shangzi smiled, picked up the remaining broccoli in the cooking pot, put it in a lunch box, and continued to prepare other things.

Naruse dried his hair, returned the towel to the bathroom, and returned to the kitchen. Nariko would lend a hand when needed, and watch from the side when he didn't need it.

"It's too much preparation."

"You can eat for a few more days."

"That has to be put in the refrigerator... Do uncles and aunts live in a dormitory at the research institute?"

"No, Mom and Dad rented an apartment over there, very close to the institute."

Naruse helped to open the lid of the bento box, Naoko stuffed food inside, piece by piece.

"After I moved to Tokyo, why didn't Shangzi live with her uncle and aunt at the research institute?"

Shangzi paused, "It's too troublesome to transfer schools or something."

She raised her eyes and smiled, "And I think Chunhai will come back soon."

"It's been four years since I came back." After closing the lid of the bento, Naruse didn't ask any more questions.

"Where's the rice?"

"As for the rice, there is still time to prepare it tomorrow morning."

After Shangzi prepared all the bento, Naruse helped carry it and went there together.

"Shangzi, Chunhai, what are you holding?"

"Bento. Mom and Dad don't have time to cook after returning to the research institute. You can use this for a few days."

Hana Zuohezi was startled, and then showed a somewhat complicated smile.

"Don't be so troublesome..."

"No trouble. When I'm not around, mom and dad have to eat well."

"I see."

Put all the bento in the refrigerator, Naoko went to take a shower, Naruse didn't go back directly, and sat in the living room for a while.

In the past two days, the couple were busy looking for the direction of life for Shangzi, and the table was full of everything about Shangzi.

And on the eve of the three-party talks, all these materials have been neatly packed together.

At the top is the final result after two days of hard work by the two researchers.

After getting permission, Naruse flipped through it casually.

"Run a flower shop, be a kindergarten or elementary school teacher, a painter specializing in children's picture books..."

There are many life directions to choose from.

"Has Shangzi seen this?"

"I've seen it since I came back." This Huache also nodded.

"How did she choose?" Naruse was a little curious about Shangzi's choice.

The couple looked at each other and smiled, "The child said that she will refer to it carefully."

"yes."

In other words, Shangzi has not yet made a choice.Naruse was not surprised either.

"What about Chunhai, do you have any plans for the future?" This Huache also asked.

He shook his head, "I'm still thinking about it, let's go to university first."

"Chunhai has been very smart since he was a child. I remember that when Shou was still alive, he said that he would train you to be his successor..." Before Huache could finish speaking, his wife bumped his arm.

Naruse didn't respond too much, but was silent for a while.

"Yes, I also remember."

He liked to read since he was a child, and it is hard to say that it had nothing to do with the influence of his father, who was a well-known screenwriter at that time.

He smiled again, "However, for the sake of his reputation, it would be better for me to choose another path."

"Don't you have any self-confidence?" Konoka Sawako followed his words and asked.

"Still a long way to go."

"But in front of girls, even if you don't have confidence, you have to pretend to be confident."

"It will be revealed."

"At this time, we should refer to Ms. Song's acting skills."

The topic was discussed, and the atmosphere returned to the relaxed and casual atmosphere just now.

After chatting for a while, Naruse was about to go back to rest, and Konohana Sawako sent him to the door.

"Chunhai is a reliable child."

"Where." Naruse casually said modestly.

"After we left, Shangzi asked Chunhai to take care of him."

"It's Shangzi who is taking care of me, in every way."

Hana Zuohezi smiled, "Chunhai is really reliable."

"The person that child trusts the most is actually Chunhai. So if it's Chunhai, she will definitely listen."

"Auntie?" Naruse looked at her.

She stopped to think for a while, then looked back into the room, and then said:
"Let Shangzi let go of the burden and learn to accept everything that has been obtained with ease.

Toru and I didn't decide to adopt her for her reward.She's grateful, and of course we'd be happy, but it's always been like this...

Occasionally, I also want to see Shangzi's "rebellious" appearance to his parents. "
