In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 203 Oranges and Daily Life

The dam is full of ocean atmosphere, and the blue sky is still floating with snow-white clouds.

When the four eyes met, the girl's soft body was embraced into her arms, slowly exuding fragrance and warmth.

Kai Uesugi really didn't know how to respond to the feelings of the weak girl in his arms.

I just met her earlier and helped her a little bit.

Perhaps as grandma said, this relationship is simple enough, but it is not easy to come by fate.

"Little Hanabi, Kai-kun will love you forever."

Quietly listening to the sound of sea waves crashing on the shore, Hanamaru Hanabi, who leaned on his shoulder and was hugged by him, couldn't help but hug him.

In the lovely rosy little face, slowly showing a warm smile.

"Hanabi. It's the same"

The dog days are from mid-July to mid-to-late August.

This is the hottest day of the year.

The sea breeze lifted the hair and disturbed the dark green orange leaves in the orchard to make a rustling sound.

Gazing at the Seto Inland Sea, where waves rolled out in the distance, Uesugi Shio carried a basket of bright yellow tangerines on his back and walked towards the truck below.

Seeing that someone was still staring at the ants in a daze, she couldn't help tapping his shoulder with the leafy branch in her hand.

"Ah, don't be lazy, here to carry the oranges, Hua Huo Jiang works harder than you."

On the other side, Hanamaru Hanabi was holding up a large basket of oranges panting.

But squeamish girls are often clumsy and hardworking.

Her little strength is obviously not enough to look at a basket of oranges.

Seeing that her whole body was about to fall backwards, Yoshiko Uesugi, who was cutting oranges beside her, quickly helped her hug the frame.

The reckless girl who fixed her little feet thanked her repeatedly.

"I'm not being lazy." Uesugi Kai, who was sitting on the hot stone, stared at the ground and said, "I don't like being lazy either."

The ear dye hanging next to Shio Uesugi's ear has the color of the sky, and it matches with the long black hair tied up, which is eye-catching.

She understands that sometimes what Ah Chi says, just listen to it.

"Then what is the meaning of watching ants eating orange peels here?"

Uesugi Kai closed his eyes and sat quietly.

"?" Shio Uesugi, who was holding a basket of oranges with one hand, looked at him suspiciously.

Kaoru Uesugi looked focused, opened his loving eyes slightly, and spoke slowly, slowly speaking without awakening people:

"I don't look at the ants, but the ants look at me."

"."

"Did you go to Taishan Temple to practice?" Uesugi Shio looked surprised, and carefully looked at him who exuded the air of an old monk.

Taishan Temple is on the mountain behind Sakura Hill, which is relatively close to here.

Uesugi Kai clapped his hands and stood up, lost the spirit of the old monk, and began to restore his usual tone:

"I'm just pretending. If I become a monk, what will happen to Xiao Huahuo's happiness?"

"Aren't there many monks getting married now?"

"Professional monks who sell fame are not worth mentioning."

As he spoke, Kai Uesugi headed towards the truck under the terraced orchard.

Uesugi Shio glanced at his back, then at the basket of oranges that he cut out but didn't take away, and understood.

The purpose of talking so many useless things is to be lazy.

Kaoru Uesugi was not completely lazy, he was very serious about helping Hanamaru later.

Seeing him standing above, Hanamaru Hanabi pushed the oranges into the truck and whispered:

"Mr. Kai, do you want to go out today?"

After finishing his work, Uesugi Kai casually took out an orange and turned around and said, "I'm going to climb a mountain today."

"Are you looking for that Hachiman Shrine?" Hanamaru Hanabi stood on tiptoe to look at him, and quickly put it down when he saw him walking.

"Little Hanabi wants to go too?" Uesugi Kai squatted on the truck, eating a piece of jelly-like orange.

"Hanabi really wants to go with Kai-kun." Hanamaru Hanabi looked up at him.

Uesugi Kai handed out the peeled oranges: "Eat oranges, just picked, super fresh."

Facing the tangerines that I love and have been eating all the time these days, Hanamaru Hanabi hesitates and never bites his mouth.

"Don't like eating oranges anymore?" Uesugi pointed the soft and elastic flesh of the oranges at her small and exquisite nose.

"no"

Hanamaru Hanahino's snowy white nose lightly sniffed the sweetness of the tangerines, and swallowed subconsciously.

Uesugi Kai saw that she really wanted to eat it, so he deliberately waved the orange in front of her in a bad hand.

Smiling and seductively said: "Really. Don't want to eat?"

"Well"

Boys don't understand how girls want to eat desserts but are afraid of gaining weight.

They only try to seduce girls when they can't help it.

When the girl is full of flesh, they will say again: I told you not to eat so many desserts.

"Eat one piece, eat as much as you want." Uesugi Kaoru continued to seduce with words, and shook the food to hypnotize him.

Hanamaru Hanabi is the most anxious girl who can't help but want to eat.

The beautiful purple eyes followed the orange petals in Uesugi's hand.

Then he stood on tiptoe and swallowed it in one bite.

"So cute." Uesugi Oki patted her on the head with the other hand, "Do you still want to eat?"

"I want to eat." Hanamaru Hanabi said obediently with her small face on her back.

With a bang, Aunt Uesugi Yunko carried another basket of oranges into the car, and teased Uesugi Kai who was squatting on the car and kept feeding oranges to the girl:

"Ah, Hua Huo Jiang is not your cat, feeding oranges like this will make her gain weight."

Ehime mandarin oranges have no seeds, and the pulp is like natural jelly, with a particularly high sugar content.

Assuming that the sugar content of ordinary sweet oranges is 8, the sugar content of Ehime oranges is more than 15.

Oranges and cats?

Orange cat?

Kaoru Uesugi suddenly remembered that fat self. Before that, Hanamaru Hanabi had been talking about why Uesugi Cat didn't come to her house.

What's wrong with getting fatter?
She looks cute, and her fat belly is comfortable to touch.

Uesugi Kai turned sideways, took out another orange from the fruit box that Uesugi Yoko had just carried on the car, and peeled it off.

While continuing to feed Huahuojiang oranges, try to avoid the question of treating her like a cat:

"Auntie, don't they all say golden autumn and October? Why does the old man's orange orchard ripen in August?"

"There are varieties of oranges that ripen in August, but your grandpa's oranges."

Uesugi Yoshiko showed a hearty smile of a countryman, "If it was ordinary, those guys wouldn't sneak up and cut down an orange tree to threaten your grandfather."

After speaking, she picked up another basket of oranges from the trolley.

Kaoru Uesugi handed the peeled tangerines to Hanamaru Hanabi, and helped her aunt push the box of tangerines into the truck.

"That is, there are special techniques?"

"It's experience." Uesugi Yunko wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your grandfather has been planting Ehime mandarin oranges for so many years, and it is impossible to make no progress, not to mention that he is still such a stubborn old man."

Uesugi Kai still remembers that Mr. Uesugi instilled in himself when he was a child that he must inherit the fine tradition of growing oranges in the Uesugi family.

But unfortunately, neither he nor his father could satisfy the old man's wish.

Thinking about it carefully, my father is likely to be "one of the young people who ran to Tokyo because they didn't want to eat oranges anymore."

As Shio Uesugi pushed down the last cart of oranges, a truckload of Ehime tangerines was ready to go.

After closing the car door, Uesugi Yoko closed the car valve tightly, patted the dust on her hands and said:

"Okay, Xiaoxi, go tell your dad to stop playing cards, it's time to work!"

Shio Uesugi nodded to his aunt and walked down the not-so-high concrete road.

"Where was this truck of oranges delivered?" Uesugi Kai asked, remembering that the Agricultural Cooperative should have cut off his grandfather's sellers and distributors.

Logically speaking, the current oranges should not be sold.

"A high-end restaurant," Uesugi Yunko took off her sun hat, "that is to play with the after-dinner fruit desserts, and some special dishes will also use our oranges."

"There shouldn't be too much demand for high-end restaurants."

"It's okay. Uesugi's oranges have a good reputation, and many restaurants are willing to order them."

Uesugi Yoko didn't continue too much on this topic, but smiled and changed the subject to the two of them:

"You worked hard today, after selling this cart of oranges, you will get your wages tomorrow."

"Actually, fireworks."

"Is there still wages?" Uesugi Kai stopped Hanamaru Hanabi who was about to speak, "How much?"

"Haha, as expected of the old man who said he can make a lot of money, Ah Chi!"

Uesugi Yoko didn't dislike the fact that he likes money. She patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "In the past, I could give you 10 yuan, but now it's only 1 yuan."

In other words, in the past, you could casually sell 10.

People can't help but sigh that rural farmers in Japan are rich.

If it weren't for the tiredness of growing oranges as a farmer, Uesugi would have gone to hang out with his old man long ago.

"That's a lot." Hanamaru Hanabi couldn't help but compare it with the illustrations that she took a week to draw.

"Small!" Uesugi Yunko laughed loudly, "Okay, you two, go back and rest, Jiro, I, and Dad won't come back tonight, and I'll bring you some delicious food from the city tomorrow. "

"Well, then aunt, be careful and walk slowly."

"Goodbye, Aunt Yunzi."

Uesugi Yoko walked up to the car door, stood on top, smiled and waved to the two people on the road:
"Go and rest."
