I am the one holding the Higan flower in my hand

"What are you talking about?"

Before entering the door, she saw her youngest son chatting with the guests, and Mrs. Purgatory asked casually. As soon as he finished speaking, the younger son and the older son were all excited, and the younger son almost jumped up on the spot.

This reaction made Mrs. Purgatory, who was asking casually, a little curious.

But she didn't ask further and suppressed her curiosity. Children have their own secrets, and adults don't need to ask.

Li Zi is not yet an adult, so he is considered a big friend. The three friends, one old, two young, looked at each other and said in unison, "No."

"..." Mrs. Purgatory curled her mouth in a funny way, "I'm not in good health, and Makijuro cooks light meals. I just told him that we have guests today."

"I told them that I can do my part separately..."

"No," Senjuro, who was sitting next to Li Zi, heard his mother's words and immediately rushed over and hugged Mrs. Purgatory coquettishly, "We want to eat the same food as mom."

"Eat bitterness together and eat sweetness together."

Even if there were outsiders present, Mrs. Purgatory's eyes could not help but moisten slightly when she heard her youngest son's thoughtful words. She reached out and touched Qian Julang's head, "Good boy..."

He touched Xingjulang's head.

A smile broke out on Xingshourou's face, and he looked at Mrs. Purgatory. The mother and son didn't speak, but it was already worth a thousand words.

This scene suddenly touched Kuriyama Kuriko's heart. The light fell on the left side of Mrs. Purgatory's face, making her look extremely gentle.

And this look was something Kuriyama Kuriko had seen when she was a child. It came from her biological mother. However, with the birth of her younger siblings, her communication with her mother was reduced to hurried work.

"Ms. Miyamoto...."

"Ms. Miyamoto...."

"Miyamoto..."

"Ah, sorry, I just lost my mind," Kuriyama Kuriko pulled away from the memory and returned to reality.

Smile apologetically.

"Ms. Miyamoto..." Mrs. Purgatory thought for a while before speaking out, "Are you worried about something? Although I don't have any talent, I am old here, so maybe I can give you some advice. "

"Is it obvious?" Kuriyama Kuriko couldn't help but ask. She was really confused recently.

The identity of ghosts and humans changes, from a barren mountain village to a prosperous big city.

Everything has changed so radically.

But these changes can't cover up her habit of growing up in the mountains. She worked hard to learn social etiquette, but she was always exposed in the smallest details.

To put it bluntly, she felt inferior. But she happened to become a ghost with power again.

Therefore, she can't help but have some impulsive thoughts.

Senjuro and Anjuro nodded in unison.

"I am indeed a little troubled," Kuriyama Kuriko carefully considered the words, "The place where I lived before was very different from here. There... the habits I learned there no longer apply here."

“Including some ideas, it’s also very different.”

"So, maybe I'm... a little uncomfortable?"

Mrs. Purgatory listened carefully and observed Kuriyama Kuriko's expression when she spoke.

"Actually, I met a friend who had a similar experience to me, and she enlightened me. But our situations are still very different, and..."

Kuriyama Kuriko paused for more than ten seconds before speaking again, "There are many people around her who care about and love her."

"I....."

Li Zi couldn't say any more and lowered his head, feeling ashamed.

It turns out that I am jealous of Kotonoha.

She felt a little sad that she was jealous of a friend who helped her so much, and was jealous of such a kind person.

"Hey, I'm really a bad person," Kuriyama Kuriko said in an exaggerated tone. "I'm a bad boy," she shrugged, looking indifferent.

Squint your eyes and smile exaggeratedly.

"No," Anjuro suddenly stood up and looked straight at Kuriyama Kuriko, seriously and firmly, "Sister is not a bad person, don't talk about yourself like that."

"You're fine."

The exaggerated smile on Kuriyama Kuriko's face froze and slowly disappeared.

"Being sad about this kind of thing shows that Miss Miyamoto is a kind person," Mrs. Purgatory said slowly. After listening to Kuriyama Kuriko's words, the lady looked as usual, "Everyone wants to be loved and cared for."

"That young lady must have gone through a lot before she has everything she has now."

Mrs. Purgatory looked at Kuriyama Kuriko with gentle eyes. The aura around her was very peaceful, as if she had the power to tolerate everything, "Ms. Miyamoto is in the process."

"Me?" Li Zi asked curiously.

"certainly....."

"I, I," Senjuro laughed and swooped into Kuriyama Kuriko's body.

The unprepared Kuriyama Kuriko was almost hit. She is really not weak at all, so she reached out to catch the child.

"Sister, last time my brother lost a tooth, I saw it quietly buried in the ground. I dug it out and gave it to you," Senjuro climbed onto Kuriyama Kuriko's shoulder and said in a low voice, thinking he was very quiet. .

Anjuro's age already knows what shyness is.

Mrs. Purgatory, who had been thinking about what to say, looked at her younger son and then her eldest son, and successfully forgot what she wanted to say.

"Senjuro——"

Xingjuro wanted to find a hole to crawl into on the spot, but regardless of his brother's majesty, he rushed over and took Qianjuro's arm, "My...teeth...where did you put them. "

Naturally, Senjuro refused to say anything and crawled into Kuriyama Ritsu's arms.

"Senjuro——"

Anjuro decided to show his authority as an older brother, but unfortunately, with outsiders present, the effect was immediately reduced to zero. Senjuro pretended not to hear.

The two brothers were fighting.

Mrs. Purgatory turned her face away, wanting to pretend that she didn't know these two sons.

"Pfft--" After being tense for a while, Kuriyama Kuriko finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. Anjuro has always looked like a little adult, and now he looks really cute.

Her face was red, embarrassed and annoyed.

She seemed to understand what Mrs. Purgatory just meant, but this was assuming they thought she was a human being.

"The things here are not necessarily good, and the things in the past are not necessarily bad. Everyone is different, and what suits you is the best. There is no need to cater to others, or even accept bad things. "

Mrs. Purgatory smiled lightly and said, "Let me tell you a secret. In fact, many people say that I am too serious and do not have the gentleness of women."

"Huh?" Kuriyama Kuriko was surprised.

"It's true," Mrs. Purgatory smiled, "That's right. I am indeed more serious. When it comes to educating Xing Jurou, I am the one who speaks harshly."

"Everyone asked me to be gentle," Mrs. Purgatory smiled lightly and picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, "but I can't do that, and I don't want to do that."

"Why do you have to do that, because everyone is doing it?"

"No, that's not right."

"Just like Makijuro can cook, he is the only male here who can cook."

"That's right," Anjuro suddenly intervened in the conversation, frowning, "When Aunt Lihua was sick, she was still cooking. This is wrong."

The kid's tone was super disapproving.

Kuriyama Kuriko thought about Mrs. Purgatory's words and said nothing.

"It doesn't matter, you are still young and have enough time to find what you like," Mrs. Purgatory said.
