In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 154 The Peaceful Little Life Has Some Waves

------

The organization in charge of the lifeline of agriculture in the whole country naturally controls a production and sales line that is almost monopolized.

They are powerful and well-funded.

While granting loans to help farmers in farming, they also contract a series of mandatory services from vegetable and fruit production to distribution and sales.

Both buy-side and sell-side channels are in their hands.

Those who can control the market price are both athletes and referees.

Buy at low prices, sell at high prices, and squeeze at both ends at will.

------

After that, the two went home together after buying groceries.

On the way, I bought a "chocolate banana crepe" at the Family Mart convenience store along the way.

Hanamaru Hanabi would take out the chili peppers she brought with her and eat them together, and Kaoru Uesugi didn't know what kind of strange smell it was.

She seemed to be eating quite comfortably, and when asked curiously, she only said that it tasted sweet and spicy, and she felt very happy.

Walking together on the quiet path home, Kai Uesugi could feel that Hanabi was always approaching him intentionally or unintentionally.

It is said that under the umbrella of compatibility, people who are in love with each other will have the effect of being close to each other in psychology and actions.

Kaoru Uesugi glanced at the little hand on his arm.

"tonight.?"

Hanamaru Hanabi held the chili crepe with both hands, and nodded shyly after taking a bite.

"Um"

Turning this corner, they saw their familiar home.

"Your side, or my side?"

After the two looked at each other, they knew each other.

Kaoru Uesugi turned to her door with a supermarket bag in her hand.

In the small courtyard, some roses that had just bloomed could not withstand the ravages of wind and rain, and became dim.

Uesugi Kai doesn't hate the rainy season, but some of his flowers really hate the rainy season.

Turning the corner, I saw the eaves of Uesugi's house.

However, the two who returned home stopped in place and did not move for a long time.

"."

The sound of the cold rain beating on the house continued to pour into my ears, squatting in front of Uesugi’s house was a black-haired girl who was so bored that she fingered the weeds in the crevices of the stone slabs, and had ear dyes on her temples.

Next to the black-haired girl was a wet travel bag, an inexplicable rectangular bag.

With a lollipop in her mouth, she quickly noticed that the two people standing outside pulled out a weed when they looked up, and waved the weed at them lazily.

"Yo, I'm back."

"."

------

The cold rain can't blow away the summer humidity.

Hanamaru Hanabi prepared tea, brought it to Uesugi Shio and Uesugi Kai, and then continued to cook in the kitchen.

The breath of hot tea dimmed his eyes, and Uesugi Uesugi, with light blue hair, glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi who was busy in the kitchen, changed his previous lazy demeanor, and asked curiously:

"Ah, you guys"

"fiancée."

"Oh~~"

Uesugi Shio was very surprised, it took him a while to digest the information, and he glanced at him with his teacup, "Don't you like Hanabi girl?"

"Who said that?"

"You said it." Shio Uesugi drank tea while eating a lollipop, the sweetness of the sugar and the bitterness of the tea were balanced in his mouth, strangely.

She couldn't help curling her lips, but took another sip.

Uesugi Kai glanced at her sideways, "When did I say that?"

"Ah, Ah!"

"You like to lie, sister Xi, I know."

Uesugi put down the teacup and bit off the lollipop with a crisp and loud sound, "I looked lazy and stupid when I was young, but sister Xi understands that you are smarter than anyone else."

"I'm just lazy." Uesugi Kai defended himself.

"Ah, Ah!"

"You lied again."

Shio Uesugi shook the bitten white stick in his hand, and said leisurely, "You say you are lazy, that means you are doing well, today is full of lies."

After finishing speaking, she leaned on the table with one hand and stared at the rain outside the living room for a long time, as if she was picking up memories from the black and white pictures of the past.

"Grandpa is often fooled by you."

"Just a reasonable break."

When Uesugi saw her lazy side face leaning on her hands, he thought to himself, "Is everything okay with Grandpa?"

"grandfather."

Shio Uesugi sighed, and fiddled with his light blue hair temples with his hands supporting his face.

"I must have something to hide here."

"so serious?"

"Well, it's lighter than you think, mainly just in case."

Shio Uesugi said, his tone was so serious that he was lazy, and the slightly floating hair had a strange sense of disorder.

"But the guys who encroached on the kingdom of heaven are squeezing both ends. What can't they do with an orchard as big as grandpa?"

"Grandpa's oranges are so good that he hasn't called to complain. Recently, there have been more oranges. Some people said that last year's oranges caused him to have diarrhea today. It's really stupid."

"."

"Forget it, forget it, only he can change the decision made by grandpa. I hope everything goes well."

Shio Uesugi stretched out the index finger of the other hand, locked his eyes on it and shook it wildly.

Kaoru Uesugi always felt that her strange movements were meaningless.

However, the index finger quickly pointed to him along with the sound of Huo Huo Huo cooking.

With a thud, Uesugi rested his chin on the table, his black hair stretched to both sides, and his light blue sideburns were still conspicuous.

Doesn't it hurt?
Kaoru Uesugi couldn't help but think.

Uesugi Uesugi looked completely lifeless and said:

"As I was talking, I said it was crooked, Ah Zhao is still so powerful."

"Normal chat."

The finger pointing at him turned into a dangling hand.

"No, no, no, I was talking about you and Huahuo just now, but I jumped to Grandpa's side all of a sudden."

Looking at his face, his listless eyes became slightly focused.

"Ah, I haven't seen you for so many years, you look so handsome."

"Barely." Uesugi Kai said modestly.

"Are you attracted to girls?"

"Sister Xi, what do you want to say?"

Shio Uesugi, who was lying on the table, turned his head towards the kitchen, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Hanabi is only 15 years old, and she's actually your fiancée, Ah Kai."

"Aren't you trying to deceive the feelings of an ignorant girl with your rhetoric?"

"Sincerely." Uesugi Kai thought so to himself.

Uesugi Shio said "Huh~":
"Obviously, you have always told me that Xiao Huahuo is your sister."

"Didn't Sister Xi say that I like to lie? That's it." Uesugi Kai took a sip of the hot tea made by Hanabi, and the steaming heat blurred his face.

"No, you were not lying then."

Fair and clean cheeks, upright posture, small canine teeth that are rarely exposed, light blue hanging ear dyes, Uesugi Shio's lifeless eyes are consistent, and the combination of all the features makes her look like a beautiful girl with three things.

——Her appearance comes more from her mother who passed away unfortunately.

"Well, but you're not lying when you say 'it's true'."

"Since when did sister Xi know this skill?"

"What kind of skills, I have been deceived by you a lot, I can tell from your eyes whether you are lying."

Hanamaru Hanabi had already prepared the dishes and came from the kitchen with a plate.

Kai Uesugi couldn't understand why she could tell if she was lying from her own eyes.

"Sister Xi, can you tell me about your experience in seeing through my lies?"

"Okay." In a normal easy-going tone.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hanamaru Hanabi approaching, and Uesugi changed from lying down to sitting, and took the plate from Hanabi.

After placing the plate on the table, she continued to say to Kai Uesugi:
"When you are lying, your eyes will have a sense of serious answer, and when you are telling the truth and being wronged, your eyes will become careless."

"Um"

Kaoru Uesugi began to think seriously about her words, is this really the case?

After Hanamaru Hanabi scooped up three bowls of rice, she sat down beside him, and smiled and nodded to Uesugi Shio who was opposite him: "Sister Xi."

Uesugi Shio also gave her an unlikely smile back: "Hanato-chan is so cute again, it's hard work, unlike me who just hide here and be lazy."

"Sister Xi is a guest, please don't say that."

Hanamaru Hanabi didn't realize that her words sounded like a housewife.

"."

Uesugi Uesugi's eyes changed a little when he saw Uesugi, and his pupils were deeply condensed:
"Ah~"

"Ok?"

"Really, all right?"

Kai Uesugi failed to comprehend what she meant: "What's all right?"

"you."

"Me? What's wrong with me?"

"You didn't bully Xiao Huahuo, did you?"

"."

Uesugi Kai originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he changed his words, "Generally speaking, no."

"Why would Sister Xi ask such a question?" Hanamaru Hanabi held the bowl of white rice in front of her and said.

"It's nothing."

Shio Uesugi returned to that normal yet abnormal look.

------

Uesugi Shio is the cousin of Uesugi Kai and the daughter of his second uncle Uesugi Jiro.

When Uesugi Kai returned to his hometown during the summer vacation, he often met her.

Due to the close relationship between the mothers of the Uesugi family and the Hanamaru family, the Hanamaru family sometimes travels to Ehime Prefecture.

After coming and going, several people became acquaintances.

In mid-June, the rainy season continued in Tokyo, and many things at home had to be brought out to look through.

Xiao Huahuo has already made many sunny dolls and hung them on the window eaves of the two houses.

"Little Hanabi wants to be a sunny girl?"

The room in the morning, the clothes laid out in a mess.

"Do not want to."

"Wouldn't it be nice to have the ability to make the sky clear?"

"If Mr. Kai is talking about the Yangcaijiang kind, then it won't work."

After tidying up the room, the two sat by the bed, looking out of the blinds at the plum rain that seemed to cover the entire Tokyo.

Hanamaru Hanabi's legs dangled up and down on the side of the bed, and her slender bare feet had the delicate texture of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

Humming a song in her mouth, holding the shark doll that Uesugi gave her in her arms, she couldn't put it down.

She has always been a very demure girl, but sometimes if she is happy, she will appear very ethereal.

At this time, everyone wants to get close to this innocent girl.

"Like it?"

"Ah."

The degree of love speaks volumes.

Uesugi Kai had to sigh, how "won" this so-called winning girl's favor is.

Carry it with you at all times and stand between the two at night when you go to bed.

咚咚
knocking.

Shio Uesugi, who was carrying a few pieces of his own clothes, opened the door.

"Ah, I have no place to put my clothes."

"Is there not enough wardrobe for you?" Uesugi Kai said.

"It's not enough, it's not enough." Shio Uesugi said.

"Fold it up and put it in a box."

"Good idea," said Uesugi Shio, "but my box is also full."

"How did you bring oversized clothes?"

"In the past few days, you went to school, and I bought a few more."

Uesugi glanced at the two sitting on the bedside by the window, "Put it in Ah Kai's closet, anyway, Ah Kai, you don't have many clothes."

"casual."

Kaoru Uesugi didn't care.

Hanamaru Hanabi's little feet dangling beside the bed never stopped.

"Sister Xi doesn't go to school?"

"Why don't you go? Half of the reason for coming here is to go to school."

I thought a boy's closet would be a mess, but I didn't expect it to be cleaned with extra care.

Uesugi Shio folded his clothes and put them in Uesugi Kai's spare cabinet.

Kaoru Uesugi has never known which high school this cousin is going to attend, Shenyue can't get in, not to mention the high tuition fees, and he doesn't accept midway transfer students.

"Which high school is sister Xi going to go to?" Hanamaru Hanabi asked.

"Kanzaki Koshido Higher Private School." Shio Uesugi closed the drawer and said, "It's your school."

"."

Be quiet for a second.

Uesugi Kai couldn't help asking: "Isn't sister Xi's family short of money? Why do you still come to Shenyue? Besides, Shenyue doesn't seem to accept transfer students."

"You're right."

Shio Uesugi stood up, her light blue hair was conspicuous, she clapped her hands and said, "It's true that our family is short of money, but if God doesn't charge me for tuition, why don't I come?"

For special affairs, Uesugi knew that most of the students who were not paid by Shenyue were special recruits from various sports clubs.

They are responsible for participating in competitions and building the reputation of the school.

Kaoru Uesugi benefited a lot in the last bow competition.

Those two journalists who appeared in the middle of nowhere for no reason, their newspaper office is actually doing "High School Kyudo Magazine Newspaper", which is very famous.

Balabala bragged about him, saying that he is a genius among geniuses, an unworldly shooting star, possessing insurmountable talents of his peers.

Middle two, too middle two.

He was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, but those high school students in the archery world still believed it, which made him very annoyed.

But once the fame comes out, Shenyue, a shrewd private school, will start to show his money-making nature.

——Give him a tuition fee reduction for the next semester.

Shenyue seems to want to compete with Yuzhi High School in terms of sports competition.

"Sister Xi is a special recruit?"

"What's so surprising," Shio Uesugi said without temperament, "My swordsmanship is very strong."

She seemed to realize something, half-closed her eyes, which seemed to have no energy, put one hand on her waist, leaned forward slightly and said:

"You didn't follow my game?"

"I don't understand kendo, so why pay attention to it." Uesugi Kai refers to the past.

Uesugi Shio's long black hair fell down like a willow, but there were two more light blue tufts in front.

"Kendo is the point? The point is whether I'm good or not. I reminded you specifically. You don't pay attention to sister Xi's games? It's a shame that I took care of you when I was young."

"Well, take care of me to eat oranges." Uesugi Kai said blankly.

When Hanamaru Hanabi heard about eating oranges, she also remembered how Uesugi Shio used to treat them to eat oranges.

Different from the lazy tone now, she was very confident at that time, and she had the demeanor of a big sister.
