Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

January 1st, New Year’s Day, is the peak time for people to return home.

Apart from the Ullambana Festival, the most people return home during these days.

The scene outside the car window flashed through Yui's eyes like wind blowing through paper pages.

Yui sat in the car going back to her hometown, holding her face with her hand, and holding the New Year's gift that Mahiru gave her in her other hand——

A cute little bear pendant.

Mahiru seems to like bears quite a lot?

I don’t know if Xiaoqing knows this information. I’ll tell you next time.

However, it seems that neither of them has any plans to go back to their hometown during the New Year. What will they do at home?

As she thought about it, Yui's face inexplicably turned red with shame.

No, idiot, what nonsense are you thinking about!

“It seems like there are a lot fewer cars coming back this year.”

The person who spoke was Yui's father, Yuigahama Makoto.

A man in his forties wearing glasses and looking very friendly.

Because of my busy work, I spend most of my time in the company on weekdays.

However, he is a very dedicated father and husband. In Yui's impression, no matter how busy he is, he will always take time to accompany her and her mother.

When she was a child, she always thought that if she married a reliable man like her father, and then became a competent housewife like her mother, her life would be perfect enough that she could just die!

As for now...

To be honest, Yui is still a little confused.

Although what Xiaoxue promised is that he is very handsome.

But the road ahead is so long that she has even lost track of the path under her feet.

"Maybe everyone is busy with something? That's good. It's safer to drive with fewer cars."

"Yes, my wife is right!" Yuigahama Makoto nodded heavily.

It's like he has the attitude of never going west if his wife says east.

"Haha, you're here again, stop talking nonsense~"

Yui's mother Yuigahama Chiana and Makoto are already an old couple, so they naturally wouldn't blush because of such words.

But the smile in his eyes could not be restrained at all.

Stupid parents, stop showing off your love for your daughter every day as if she were air!

Yui roared in her heart.

It turns out that when I was a child, I always looked at my parents through a filter. The older I get, the more I feel that they are a pair of stupid parents!

"Yui, what's wrong with you? Are you carsick or feeling unwell?"

Through the mirror, Qiannai noticed that her daughter was acting strangely and expressed her concern.

It's okay, I'm fine, just a little full.

Don't worry about what you eat.

“No, I’m just thinking about something.” Yui wanted to brush it off.

She didn't know what to say. Seeing her parents so happy, she didn't want to say anything. There was no need.

Yui suddenly wondered, is everyone like this?

The older I get, the less I know how to communicate with my parents.

“Hmm? I see…”

The daughter in the mirror showed the same smile as usual. Although her eyes were no longer as clear, it seemed that she did not encounter any major difficulties.

Qiannai relaxed a lot, "If there is anything, please tell mom as soon as possible, baby."

“Don’t worry too much about studying. Just learn as much as you can. It doesn’t matter if you can’t make a lot of money in the future.

Being healthy and happy is the most important thing.”

Yuigahama Makoto also said at this time.

Yui wanted to cry for no reason, but she didn't cry.

She laughed out loud and said sincerely:

"Mom and Dad, even though you sometimes act like idiots by showing off your affection without paying attention to the atmosphere, I still love you the most."

The car was passing through an unknown mountain. The top of the mountain was shrouded in fog, which slightly blurred Yui's vision.

Yui thought in a daze.

It’s not that we don’t know how to communicate with our parents.

Maybe it’s because your parents listen to everything and want to help you with everything.

So we are afraid that we will start crying while talking, and even forget the principle of reporting good news rather than bad news?

Forget it, I am the daughter of stupid parents, I am also stupid, I am just talking nonsense~

But, there are not many people in this world who can truly treat you well.

Many times, parents already occupy both places.

……

Yui's hometown is in a county town with an underdeveloped economy.

Few young people choose to stay there, and most of them choose to come to big cities like Tokyo to work hard.

According to most people, compared with Tokyo, this place is simply a remote place!

But people from big cities who come here will feel that this is simply a paradise.

So the world is actually a huge walled city?

Yui doesn’t understand these things. In her heart, her hometown is a beautiful place.

As far as I can remember, when summer comes, her grandmother will take her fishing!

Fish is actually edible.

If they catch fish, everyone is happy. If they don’t, grandma will pick up little Yui and mutter:

"It's all Yui-chan's fault that I didn't catch any fish today. I might as well just eat Yui-chan tonight."

How could little Yui understand all that?

At that time, looking at the steam rising from the boiler, she really thought she was going to be eaten by her grandmother.

So I burst into tears.

In the end, grandma let her go, clapped her hands in disdain, and said with a pout:

"Little Yui's face is covered with snot from crying. She doesn't look delicious at all."

Ah, Yui thinks she has found the source of the stupid gene in their family.

The last time I came back was during the Ullambana Festival, which is several months ago.

My grandfather died early, and my grandmother has been staying alone in her hometown.

Dad wanted to take her to live with him in Tokyo, but for some reason the old lady refused.

Somehow, she suddenly wanted to see her grandmother.

……

There are really fewer people returning home this year, so the journey home can be said to be smooth and unobstructed.

After parking the car, Yuigahama Makoto took out a bunch of things from the trunk, mostly cereals, fruits and the like.

"Mom, we are back!"

Yuigahama Makoto shouted into the house, but no one responded.

"Is mom sleeping or out?

Did you tell her we were coming back today?"

Qiannai was a little worried when she saw that no one responded.

The old man is alone, nothing will happen to him, right?

"Shouldn't it be possible?"

Cheng frowned slightly, and his mother understood what he said. It was impossible for him to take a nap, but it was possible that he was playing mahjong at the neighbor's house.

"Grandma, we're back!"

At this time, Yui also made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted towards the house.

"Stop making noise! ​​I'm playing mahjong next door, you guys go into the house first!"

It wasn't until a familiar voice came from the neighbor's house that Makoto and Chiana felt a lot more relaxed.

"The key should be in the flowerpot..."

Cheng said this based on his understanding of his mother and her habits.

"Found it." Qiannai shook the key and said as she opened the door.

"Hubby, talk to mom later.

It's not like we don't have any empty rooms if we let her move to Tokyo and live with us.

We feel more at ease when the old man takes it over..."

"You know my mother's temper..."

"Try again."

Yuigahama Makoto was silent for a while, then he said "hmm", and then said softly:

"Honey, you are so kind."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qiannai's movement to open the door became hasty.

Yui looked from the side and just saw the blush on her mother's face under her hair, like an eighteen-year-old girl in love.

She thought, it turns out that liking someone is so obvious...
