When the shopping mall's discount season quietly kicked off, Siming suddenly realized that the third year since his rebirth was coming to an end.

In just three years, he became a professional chess player, his adoptive mother passed away, the cubs won the championship, and his relatives were found... One after another, the life was more colorful than in the previous life for more than ten years.

Embracing a thick quilt, sitting in front of the window, looking at the slightly hazy windowpane due to the temperature difference between inside and outside, Siming, who had just woken up, was still a little hazy.

【A Si, aren't you going to sleep?It's still early. 】The young Chiba boy who was still reading the score all night by the bed raised his head, and the alarm clock on the bedside table showed that it was just before six o'clock.

"Well, I can't sleep anymore." Siming rubbed his eyes. After Kuwahara Shin was discharged from the hospital, he lived with Kuwahara Ren.

According to Kuwahara Shin's idea, he wants to live with his grandson.Hitoshi Kuwahara had been looking after his house in Kanagawa back then, and it was often cleaned, but he hadn't lived in it for so many years.My niece is married to Shizuoka, and my niece and son-in-law are often on business trips. I have been sick for so many years, and I have bothered my niece to take care of me. I will be discharged from the hospital, and I feel a little embarrassed to have another grandson.

Together, several adults decided to let Siming stay at Riji's house.After paying homage to Akiko and Lin Anyan that day, the Kuwahara brothers came to pay a special visit to thank the Hiyoshi family for their help.They come and go again and again, making them look like relatives.

It's just that no matter how relatives are, when it comes to the Chinese New Year, there is always something special.Thinking of this, Siming felt a headache again.

Uncle Goto Kazuki arrived home last weekend.It was proposed to take Kuwahara Shin, his grandfather and grandson, to his house for the New Year.Kuwahara Shin also wanted to celebrate the new year with his grandson, after all, they met each other in the first year.

However, for Siming, it is impossible for him to leave Kanako alone and celebrate the reunion year with his family.Although you can also bring Kanako with you, I heard from Ayami that she also has two children in her family. Cousin Goto Shinichi has graduated and worked, and cousin Goto May is still studying at university, so she still has a blood relationship. , but for Kanako, these are strangers after all, and the little girl will definitely feel a little restrained.

He rubbed his temples, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was a trouble.

"Father, during the Chinese New Year, let's invite two old Mr. Kuwahara to come here together. Do you think it's okay?"

After all, he was still a child, because he was bothered these days, and although Siming felt that he was not showing his face, the careful Ridai still found out.Watching the children go out, Li Dai found Hiji Zhikang who was writing scores in the study.

After the two families began to move around, several old men found out that they were like-minded.Hitoshi Kuwahara has grown older over the years and has given up many games, but there is only one Honinbo who is unwilling to let go.Kuwahara Shin had long since quit his profession due to illness.Although Riji Zhikang's level of an amateur [-]rd or [-]th dan is not enough to meet these two old men, but at least he has found old friends, right?

"Very good." Zhikang put down the chess record in his hand, "They are just two old men now, and their daughter's home is in Shizuoka. Besides, we just met each other. If Guangyi takes Kanako to his aunt's house, he must be No way. We might as well invite them over. After all, Guangyi is also my grandson, and they are all relatives. There is nothing wrong with celebrating the New Year together."

As soon as the eldest of the family made a decision, Ridai immediately sent his eldest son to pick him up. The two old men made a plan, so that they could celebrate the New Year with their grandson without embarrassing the child too much. This is a good idea.The two people who only have go in their minds don't have much to pay attention to on weekdays. As soon as Kuwahara Hitoshi and his daughter talked about it, they packed up some clothes and came with Hikichi Cong.

When Siming came back from get out of class, he saw three old men gathered together staring at a chessboard and arguing, he was still confused for a while.

"Mom invited the two grandpas Kuwahara to come and celebrate the New Year with us." Seeing Siming's silly expression, Ri Jicong tapped his forehead amusedly. The in-law's family celebrates the New Year. He and your grandfather decided to stay here and compete with grandpa."

Compete?It's one-sided abuse.Siming raised his eyebrows, not caring about the old child's thoughts.

Siming felt a lot more relieved when the big problem in his mind was solved.

The winter vacation wasn't too long. After the new year, within a few months, Siming and the others were about to be promoted to sophomores.Kanako has entered the graduation season again.

The little girl's shortcoming is still mathematics. Fortunately, she has a brother who is an expert in mathematics. During the winter vacation, apart from playing scores and playing chess with a few older children, Siming devotes the rest of his time to his sister's mathematics tutoring.

"No, no, no. Sigh..." Could it be that the older the girl is, the more she can't keep up with her math? She was obviously pretty smart when she was young.Siming shook his head, "You said you worked hard and calculated for a long time, but you can't figure out the first one and the last one first? What about the formula?"

"Oh? Oh." Kanako looked at the two data that Siming pointed to, and then looked at the draft that she had calculated for a long time, "I didn't pay attention."

It's better in algebra, but it's even worse when it comes to geometry.The little girl always doesn't know where to add the auxiliary line.

Siming calmed down and instructed his younger sister to finish her homework one by one, and decided to enroll her in a cram school in the spring.Next year, I have to take care of my homework and the competition at the chess academy, and Kanako will be promoted to the third grade, which is the critical time.

On the 28th, Hiyoshi's family offered mirror cakes. It is said that this day is the best day.Because of the "eight" character, the feet are broad and stretched, which means "development and fortune".

On the last day of December, Li Dai directed several men in the family to clean up his room.Speaking of it, it is actually just a formality. There are servants cleaning other places in the house.

Riyo and Kanako went into the kitchen and prepared soba noodles for everyone.

The Osechi cuisine for Chinese New Year is ordered directly from the store.After all, the servants at home also have to celebrate the New Year, and there are not many left. Besides, the New Year is just a feast of atmosphere, and you don't have to make it yourself.

The first month dishes prepared by Hiyoshi's house are five-tiered.

The top tier is the pre-tea snack.Put some dried herring roe, black beans, dried sardines, red and white fish cakes and date rolls.The dishes of the three old people have more manna seeds.

The second floor is mostly fish and sea prawns, and the third floor is mainly local products from the mountains. Siming looked at it and put some lotus root and taro. It seems that China also has the custom of eating taro during the New Year.The fourth layer is some vinegar pickles and mixed vegetables, most of which are shredded red and white radish, which looks good but tastes average.The last layer is empty.Siming remembered that the Qianye boy had told himself before that this floor was a place to receive blessings from the annual review, so it had to be left empty.

After the food was brought back, Riyo and Kanako took out the Tusu utensil that is not usually used.It really opened Siming's eyes.

In the previous life in the Si family, Siming saw a lot of good things, and this Su Tu tool from the Riji family is very impressive.The entire Tusu Terrace and Cup Terrace, Choshi use black as the background color, with golden pines and cypresses painted on it.The cup is composed of black and red.It looks dignified and atmospheric.

"Drinking Tusu at the age of one year, the young ones grow up first, the young ones celebrate the new year, and the old ones celebrate the birthday."Ridai took the smallest cup and poured Tusu wine into it, and put it in front of Kanako, "Kanako-chan, drink it first, you will be one year older next year, and you will be even more beautiful and smart."

"Thank you, Aunt Ride."

For dinner, I prepare Niangoshi soba noodles, boiled bonito and chicken broth, and served with tempura, shiitake mushrooms, wakame, and green onions. Standing in the restaurant, you can smell the strong aroma wafting from the kitchen.

"Ah~ Kanako-chan's craftsmanship is really getting better and better." Hikichi Satoshi sighed in admiration with his hands in his sleeves.

"Well, it's much more capable than my Ayami. I haven't eaten many things made by her since I was a child. When I grow up, I don't have any, and I only buy from outside." Kuwahara Ren nodded with a smile. At Hiyoshi's house, the two brothers followed suit and ate a lot of good things made by Kanako. "The little girl is really capable."

"Well, Kanako has liked tinkering with things since she was a child." Siming nodded with a smile, feeling quite honored.

Because we were going to watch the sunrise the next morning, several elderly people went to rest first.Hiyoshi Kosuke was left with a few children to watch the red and white song meeting.

It's a pity that for a few boys with little artistic talent, the Red and White Song Festival is really nothing more than a lullaby.After a while, Siming dozed off on Riji's shoulder.Riji pulled a blanket from the side to cover the two of them, put his elbows on the armrest of the sofa, propped his head up, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

"Oh, men just don't understand the beauty of art." Seeing the father and son dozing off, closing their eyes and resting their minds, Ridai curled his lips in boredom, but still turned down the TV considerately volume.

When the alarm bell rang, the three old people who had gone to rest early in the morning had already woken up.He warmed up the snacks that Ridai had made before, and urged the younger ones to wash up.

In the past, I used to climb mountains or go to the beach to watch the sunrise. This year, Ji Zhikang booked a few special tickets for watching the sunrise from the sky, so I decided to change the way.

The temperature in Tokyo in January was already close to zero. When the car stopped at the gate of Haneda Airport, Siming took the scarf and wrapped it around Kanako's neck a few times, and Hiyoshi took the hat and put it on Siming's head.

Because I was watching it on a plane, Siming didn't wear gloves when he came out. After getting out of the car, he still shivered from the freezing temperature outside.Ji Ji took Siming's hand and put it in his coat pocket naturally.

Because they were busy with things, Riyo and Kosuke didn't see the younger son's movements, but Hikichi Satoshi looked at his younger brother with some doubts, but he didn't say anything in the end.

After five o'clock, everyone began to ascend the throne.The flight attendants greeted the passengers with smiles, making everyone feel a bit of warmth in winter.

At 6:[-], the plane took off on time.The clouds were slightly thicker, but, thanks to the recent sunny weather, the plane flew very smoothly.Through the clouds, the space outside the window is occupied by dark blue.At this moment, the night in the sky has not completely faded.Siming pressed against the window glass, this was the first time he was so close to the sky.

After about ten minutes, I slowly saw the sky turn pale.The plane circled over Tokyo Bay, waiting for the moment when the sun jumped out of the clouds.

The closer it was to seven o'clock, the colors outside the window became brighter and brighter. The golden red gradually spread from the edge of the dark blue. Siming stared intently at the sky. The sun began to emerge, and the red color filled the surrounding The sky slowly rises, and in an instant, it jumps out of the clouds, a round, cute fireball hangs in the air, looking at everyone with a smile.

Under the dazzling sunlight, Siming had to squint his eyes and raise his hand to cover his forehead in order to accept the dazzling light.

"I feel so happy." Kanako leaned against the window with her face in her hands.

At this moment, the flight attendant's voice came from the cabin: "...the clouds around Mount Fuji today are relatively thin. In 10 minutes, we will fly to the top of Mount Fuji and see the rising sun on Fuji."

The plane slowly lowered its altitude, and Riji took out a pair of sunglasses from his bag and handed them to Siming, finally saving him from the fate of cosplaying Sun Wukong.

A bright light suddenly shot out of the window. Siming turned his head and saw a round red ball hanging on the top of the snow-capped Mount Fuji.Under the reflection of the morning glow, Mount Fuji also slowly put on red clothes.

"It is said that people who see 'Red Fuji' will have good luck this year." Hikichi Kosuke said to the children with a smile, "You will all have good luck next year."

In the cabin, there was a sound of mutual congratulations and applause.

【A Si, we will definitely get a good grade! 】
