Fairy Tale of Brothers War

What happened on the bus that day was like a page turned in a book, and Eri didn't tell anyone.What's more, so what?Do you worry your family members for no reason and then blame yourself for not taking good care of her?There is no sense in doing so.However, this incident obviously gave her a dose of inoculation for her carelessness. As Keiko Takahashi said that day, she can only rely on herself for many things, and it is impossible to blindly seek protection from others.She knew all the ridiculous truths, but she didn't have a real experience until now.

Although the matter of Qizhi and Yusuke at home made her very distressed, she wanted to change, but she was powerless.According to Eri's nature, since he can't do anything, he can just let it take its course.So the stalemate relationship has been stalemate.

Thinking about it carefully, apart from these, there is one more thing that worries Huili, and that is part-time work. What I said last time was strongly opposed by my sister. It seems that there is no hope. Maybe after a while, I will talk to my sister. Mention, maybe my sister agreed by accident?Thinking of this, Eili still felt that she should put this matter aside.

She has always felt that she is a very casual person. When she encounters something, she will solve it if she can solve it. If she can't solve it, she will wait for a while to solve it. Continue to put it; wait for a while... Repeat the above solution until the matter is resolved, or it is delayed until it is forgotten.This is not too bad, at least it is this way of solving things that makes Eri such a casual character.

Autumn goes to winter, and in a blink of an eye, the weather is getting colder every day.

During these days, Ema really tried to let Eri try to come to the kitchen to cook some simple dishes.After all, she is going to take the college entrance examination in a few months. At that time, she might not have so much time to take care of Huili, so she should let the child learn a little, just in case.

Eri was very happy about this proposal for a long time, even taking it to the kitchen seemed like it was about to celebrate the New Year, and she looked very happy.Speaking of which, this little girl has some talent in cooking. Let me talk about the essentials of cooking and the things that need to be paid attention to.However, thinking of Eilixue cooking is only a matter of ten days and a half months. If you want to say that the last table is still a bit late, I told this girl that when her cooking skills reach a certain level, I will cook with her in the morning. .

This is actually a very vague concept. For example, there is no time standard for the degree of "certainty".Ema also doesn't want her younger sister to spend all day thinking about what to eat today and what to buy tomorrow, as a housewife... Eli is still young, so it's better to avoid these things.Besides, letting Eili into the kitchen is already her bottom line, how can she go into the small kitchen every day?

Eri doesn't know what her sister is thinking. According to her idea, cooking in the kitchen is actually quite good. It can not only help Ema, but also hone her cooking skills - after all, it will be a few days later. In June, Ema was admitted to university. At that time, I didn't know how long it would take to go home, so I should cherish this opportunity even more.

So Eri, a junior apprentice, has been earnestly learning cooking skills with Ema and Ukyo, two full-time kitchen staff, for several months. Although it is not as good as those two, it is really good.Even Fengdou, who is so tricky, gave a fair evaluation: "Not satisfactory!"

The things at home are just like this for the time being, and the things in school are more.

Huili felt that her English was really hopeless, and everything else was fine, but her English, no matter how hard she tried, couldn't improve, which made Huili really depressed for a while.Thinking that the new year is coming, the winter vacation is coming, and the midterm exam is coming, I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, and started to memorize and recite vocabulary every day in the morning and evening.

To sum up, at the end of the year, Huili set himself two ultimate goals:

One: Improve your cooking skills to a level that can be served on the table.

Two: Improve your English to a level with good test scores.

After all, it is not an easy thing to do.The little girl was simply strong and determined, and she persisted in the end.

"Ginger slices, star anise, yes, and sugar."

In the kitchen, Eili was following the steps in the recipe, concentrating on dumping a plate of clean chicken wings in front of him.According to the recipe, cut the ribs on the inside of the chicken wings to avoid shrinking when cooked, and to better taste.

"Inside... cut a knife." Eili held a knife in his hand, and the cooked chicken wings on the illustrated book were fried on the outside, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. With the slight heat, small bubbles are rolling, and the small opening in the chicken wing reveals the white, tender and delicious wing meat.Just looking at it makes people salivate.Eili swallowed, and suddenly felt a pain in her finger!

"oops--"

The silver knife in his hand fell on the chopping board, and bright red blood dripped down the wound that his fingers accidentally cut.Because I just touched the mashed garlic, the wound hurt like a fire!Eri took a deep breath and turned on the tap to wash the wound.Alas, I have become less and less happy in doing things recently.The blood seemed to be unable to stop, and flowed out desperately along the water.She turned off the water, remembering that there seemed to be a Band-Aid in the drawer in the living room, she pressed the opening on her hand and walked towards the living room.

The moment he turned around, his hand was suddenly grabbed.

"Brother Zi?" Huili was taken aback by Zi who suddenly appeared behind her.

Azusa held the iodine and gauze in his hand, and smiled at Eri as if sighing, "You little girl, why do you always get hurt?" He said, gently applying the iodine in his hand to her face. The wound on the hand, "I don't know how to scream when I'm hurt. If I didn't come to the living room and saw it by chance, you really plan to deal with it yourself?"

Eri touched her nose with her uninjured hand a little embarrassedly, "It's nothing, it's just a small wound, this time it was an accident."

Hearing what Eili said, the smile on the corner of Azusa's mouth deepened, "Which time was it not an accident? Could it be that someone was injured on purpose?" After the iodine was sterilized, the bleeding roughly stopped, and he cut off the gauze in his hand. Cut it off and bandage the wound.

"Well, you can just use a Band-Aid, there's no need to be so troublesome." Eili looked at her fingers that were more than doubled swollen, "It's troublesome to cook like this."

This girl, is she not clear about her own system or what?Which injury didn't take a long time to heal?Whether ordinary band-aids can stop the bleeding is a question!Azusa frowned and looked at Eri, "You, if you're injured, don't even think about cooking, just take care of your injuries. Doesn't this appearance make Ema worry again?"

Eri originally wanted to refute, but the last sentence made her swallow her rebuttal. Alas, it's a pity that she worked so hard to prepare braised chicken wings for a long time.

Seeing the little girl sighing, Azusa smiled slightly, "Be careful next time you cook, it's a good thing I'm here this time, what if you are alone at home?"

Huili curled her lips in disbelief, and looked at him with a puffy face: "I'm not a child, I can handle this kind of thing by myself."

Seeing the stubborn and unconvinced expression of the little guy, Zi reluctantly shook the iodine and gauze in his hand, and said, "You little girl, you are always so frizzy when you do things, the iodine you just bought last month I've already used up half of the bottle, so you're so vulnerable, don't you know how to take care of yourself?"

"I've been a bit absent-minded in doing things recently." Huili smiled at Azusa in a foolish way, "I promise I will pay attention next time!"

"And next time?" Azusa raised her eyebrows.

"No way! No way!" Huili hurriedly shook her head.

This child, Zi Zi smiled inwardly, stretched out her hand and pinched her baby-fat cheeks, she was so small when she first came to this house, but now she has grown so much taller.Obviously at that time, Ema had been pestering Ema to read her stories, time passed so quickly, and the little girl had grown so big in a blink of an eye.

"Hui Li." He called her name subconsciously, and leaned towards her with his head down.

"Huh?" Eri tilted her head and looked at Azusa, "What's wrong?"

Zi still smiled, but said nothing, "No, it's nothing."

They were very close, and from the perspective of onlookers, such a distance contained a little ambiguity.Azusa withdrew her hand, and for some reason there was a faint ripple in her heart.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "Boom -" and the sound of the chair being knocked down broke the existing calm.

Eili was startled, and hurriedly looked over there. When she saw the person coming, she was startled, and then smiled happily:

"Brother Lucy!"

Liu Sheng, who appeared in the living room at some time, gave Eri a faint smile, and said softly, "I'm sorry to bother you." He lifted the chair he accidentally bumped into from the ground, turned around and prepared to leave.Before leaving, he seemed to suddenly think of something, turned his head and chuckled: "Little Eili, Azusa is actually a very good person."

Um?What does this mean?Eili froze in place, not knowing why.

——He misunderstood, he actually misunderstood!Things weren't the way he wanted them to be.

After a while, go up and explain to him?But how would she explain it to him?

No, not right!Maybe he doesn't care much about her affairs, he just treats her as a family member, and ran over to explain the matter between himself and Zi to him, what would he think?Thinking of the time when she gave him the wisteria flowers before, Eili sighed softly, it's better not to go, as expected, her actions would only disturb him.

Zi also felt that his actions were too abrupt, what happened to him suddenly doing such a thing?But when he saw the way Eri looked at Liusheng, he suddenly couldn't say "I'm sorry" that he blurted out. Why did this child look at Liusheng with such eyes, such focused and affectionate eyes.For a long time, in his impression, the little guy was a little fool who didn't know much about human affairs, and couldn't even tell the difference between family affection and love.

He has always been very clear about Tsubaki's feelings. He treats this sister... Tsubaki doesn't simply treat Eri as a younger sister.What about himself?What is his own mind?

"Eri." He turned her around, lowered his head and looked directly at her, "What do you think of Lucy...what do you think of him?" Originally, what he wanted to ask was "How do you feel about him?" But he felt It is really inappropriate to say such a thing.

Eili looked at Liu Sheng's leaving figure in a daze for a while, and when she heard Zi's words, she replied dumbly: "I, I don't know."

"Ok?"

"When he is busy with work and has no time to accompany me, I feel sad; when he is with his sister, I still feel sad, but as long as he talks to me, I feel that these sorrows are nothing. Brother Zi, tell me, what happened to me?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Seeing Eri's confused look, Azusa shook her head slightly.He didn't understand why it was Liu Sheng who put her broken hair behind her ears. The little guy's appearance was a little different from when he first came to this house. It looked simple and pure, "This ribbon is very beautiful, who gave it to you?" He reached out and stroked the green lace tied in her hair, and suddenly changed the subject.

If it was the innocent Xiaobai who just entered this house, Huili would still be easily fooled by Azusa's few words, but now she has grown a lot compared to that time, so she still insists on being herself. The question at the beginning: "Brother Zi, you haven't told me what happened to me."

Although it was clear from the beginning that she was extremely slow in dealing with the relationship between men and women, and she was still in the ignorant stage and didn't understand anything, but now it seems that there are faint signs of it.

"Brother Zi, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Azusa shook her head, pondering what to say next: "Hui Li, you are still young, you will understand when you grow up."
