Reborn with Naruto In Tokyo, Japan

Mizuno wanted to express the delicious ramen he made, but the first few customers who walked into the store just ordered some food and drink, filled their stomachs and left.

Absolutely no one ordered ramen, and no one ordered udon noodles.

Don't these people smell the aroma of ramen? Or is Kobayashi's ramen restaurant open again?

"It's less than six o'clock, and there are not many guests, so Mizuno-kun doesn't need to worry."

Seeing Mizuno-kun's little depression, Kabu Saya opened her mouth to guide, "Such a delicious ramen will definitely be accepted by everyone."

As soon as the voice fell from the front desk, a somewhat old and hoarse voice sounded: "It smells so good, is it ramen?"

This is an old man who is not tall and thin. Although he looks old, his spirit is very good, especially the suit and glasses he wears, which makes him feel like a literate person.

"Yes, the ramen just launched in the store."

The very kind old man squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then please bring me a bowl."

"OK."

"Ah, is there any shio-flavored ramen?" The old man took off his glasses and added, "I just forgot to mention the type."

"I'm sorry, there are only tonkotsu ramen at the moment."

"Then let's have tonkotsu ramen."

"OK."

Mizuno Sora put the noodles in boiling water and boiled them, and Yabu Ya cut the ingredients next to them.

A few minutes later, a bowl of ramen noodles with all the colors and flavors was placed in front of the old man.

Looking at the ramen in front of him, the old man moved his forefinger, his hands folded and opened the chopsticks, and he couldn't wait to start.

This ramen looks better than that guy's ramen. Today, I planned to eat some ramen to pamper my stomach, and then go for a drink until the next day. I didn't expect to go to Hanabata and see that the guy Kobayashi actually opened the door of the shop. When it was closed, didn’t you have the ambition to open the store until the age of 80?

As soon as the noodles came in, the old man's eyes lit up.

tasty.

Very tasty.

Fragrant but not greasy, strong and soft, the fried dried bamboo shoots taste very refreshing!

There is such a delicious ramen hidden on this street!

His action of eating ramen became more forthright, and his mouth snorted non-stop. The noodles, ingredients, and soup were all wiped out by him.

It is the greatest respect for the chef when the guests eat noodles boldly.

Mizuno and Kabe Saya looked at each other and could see smiles at each other.

"It's... delicious." The old man drank his last sip of soup contentedly. To ordinary people who don't pay attention to diet, tonkotsu soup is the poison of gout package, but judging from the old man's healthy physique, it does not seem to be able to The appearance of being troubled by purines.

"This familiar smell is like..."

"Like?" Sora Mizuno subconsciously communicated with the old man.

"..." The old man was speechless for a while, he just said it casually, praising the shop's good craftsmanship, but he didn't know how to describe it further.

He wanted to say that it was as delicious as the ramen from the familiar Kobayashi family, but he couldn't open his eyes and lie. Although the ramen that the Kobayashi family had been running for decades was delicious, it was far inferior to the craftsmanship of the young people in front of him.

I just said casually, you young man, don't break the casserole and ask to the end.

But I can't say I don't know what it tastes like...

The old man coughed and said nostalgically, "It tastes the same as my wife's ramen. It's so warm and nostalgic."

"Really, it's really warm. You and your wife should have been together for fifty years." Mizuno guessed that this uncle should be in his seventies. Usually, he married in his twenties, and it has been fifty years now.

"Ah, it's not that long, it only looks like forty years."

"That's amazing, too." Mizuno smiled and said in admiration, "Only a couple from your era can overcome all obstacles and get to the present."

Sai Kabe listened to the conversation between the two, and both BulingBuling's eyes were full of longing.

An old couple who have been together for more than 40 years, this plain happiness is like a fairy tale.

Find a person who loves each other, have a few lovely children, live in a small house, both husband and wife work hard to repay the loan, and live a fulfilling and happy life - this is exactly the life she wants.

The smile on Mizuno-kun's face became even stronger. He must also yearn for this kind of life.

The old man lightly tapped the chopsticks with his fingers: "Ah, the couple from the Lin family in the ramen restaurant before you on the street are younger than me, haven't they been together for fifty years.

"So, sir, you got married late enough, did you get married in your thirties?"

In the more than 20 years after the war, there have also been violent conflicts between economic development and traditional thinking in island countries. On the one hand, it is the new life represented by the holding of the Olympic Games and the establishment of the Shinkansen; Kimono, rural areas advocate young people to marry early, girls should not go to college, and even some elderly people do not agree with their daughter-in-law to deliver in the hospital, insisting on looking for a midwife.

Well, the problem in modern society is that young people don't want to get married...

So the old man didn't get married until he was in his thirties. In the circumstances at the time, it was a late marriage.

"No, I got married quite early, and Miko and I got married in our twenties."

Married in their twenties and lived together for forty years.

After doing a little addition and subtraction, Mizuno probably understood. The uncle is older than Xiaolin, so he must be in his seventies. He got married in his twenties and lived together for forty years. He must have been widowed in his sixties.

Kaibesa's eyes also dimmed. She heard a warm love story, but the ending of this warm love story was not so happy. The old man must have been missing and sad all these years after he was widowed, otherwise he would not Eating a bowl of noodles reminds me of my wife.

"Is that so?" Mizuno Sora pondered what he said, "I'm really sorry, it reminds you of the girl's room, although the person has passed away..."

"Wait a minute." The old man frowned in surprise, "Miko is still alive and well."

"?"

"?"

Mizuno and Kaibe Sa were both stunned, the sad expressions and words just now ~www.NovelMTL.com~ were not just telling a love story of widowed in old age.

"But we got married in our twenties, and we've been together for forty years..."

"Miko just went out ten years ago and said she would stay at her son's house for a few days, and she hasn't come home yet."

"..."

This problem has become more serious, why is there still an indifferent look on his face?

"Isn't this supposed to call the police?"

"It's scary to call the police or something. She just went to her son's house. Well, she can't say her son's house. She also bought a house outside."

Mizuno heard it this time. The old couple was definitely divorced when they were in their 60s. It is estimated that this is the "retirement divorce" that is often seen in the news. I didn't expect it to happen in reality.

Because the law of the island country stipulates that after a man retires, his wife can also share half of the pension after divorce. In addition, after retirement, the breadwinner man feels uncomfortable when he completely relaxes, such as not being able to do housework, doing nothing every day, and being in The high-pressure work environment is the opposite, and family conflicts often break out, so news of retirement and divorce can often be seen on the news.

"It's not what you think, Miko is not a bad woman, we haven't divorced, at least not in terms of legal relationship." The old man took off his glasses and smiled at himself, "Miko, like me, both work in the company's trading company and have their own Pensions, don't covet my money."

"But looking at it this way, Miko and I are actually divorced, haha."

"It's just a matter of getting divorced at a mature age. I didn't expect it at all." The old man hummed, stared at the ramen and nodded, "Not at all... I can't say I didn't find it, after all, I used to..."

Speaking of this, the old man laughed at himself: "The world is unpredictable."
