Poverty Alleviation Princess

A Yuan soon realized that what she said was inappropriate, and it seemed that she had accidentally exposed the fact that she didn't know... But this is not important, the point is that it is already afternoon.

According to the living habits of people here who seldom have nightlife, basically it is almost time to rest when it gets dark.That is to say, around eight o'clock is not a suitable time to visit people again.

...It's a matter of a few hours to do all the calculations.

Do things most afraid of surprise attack.

No, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and there is no good way to think of it.

It's better to inquire first, because the best person to consult is my younger brother after all, so it's better than her guessing blindly.

Thinking of this, A Yuan looked straight at Quanna:

"Mr. Madara...do you have any preference?"

Quan Nai still said the same thing: "...Ji Jun, you can give me anything."

The point is not what to give, but the fact of being remembered.Who can think this way, Uchiha Izumi thinks it is already a good gift.

People always want to be the one who is cared about.

"...Is there nothing?"

"No." Asked by Ji Jun, Uchiha Quanna shook his head, and then was also taken aback.

Of course, people don't have no hobbies.

Even ninjas have emotions of 'like' and 'hate'.It's just that this tendency cannot be exposed, because it may become a weakness. Over time, 'not revealing one's likes and dislikes' has become the same cognition of ninjas as 'not revealing one's surname outside'.

Simultaneously.

For the group of ninjas, personal feelings are nothing.Whether it is like or dislike, or even fear.

If you are afraid, go to customer service, if you can't accept it, go to death.

It's that simple.

"Brother...he likes bean curd sushi very much." Uchiha Izumi began to recall those memories that have gradually faded, "I still like fighting-not that I like killing, but I just like fighting itself."

Fighting against the strong, the blood in the whole body seems to be boiling.

Although nervous, but also excited.

Maybe it was because I would die if I didn't do it a long time ago, but later it became my habit and hobby.

Well, I understand, just like people like to watch competitive games or play games and play pvp, what they want is that kind of excitement.Not that they like seeing busts or death.

But these...

Seems to be a bit difficult now?

She can't ask Mr. Hashirama to fight with Mr. Madara, can she?That's too weird.

Besides, her small city can't afford a fight between two Gundams. I'm afraid the city will be gone if the two sides hedge against each other.

As for the beancurd sushi...

There must be rice, but not necessarily soy skin.

It would be great if she could be a '5 minutes, I want to see the sushi in front of me' domineering princess.

That's certainly all there is to it.

Ah Yuan was lost in thought.

But then again, bean curd sushi is not a gift.

Speaking of gifts, they should be more special...

Or should a cake be prepared?

A Yuan opened his warehouse while thinking.

Although the inventory of desserts cannot be said to be too much, it is by no means low-but there is no cake.

Daifuku, yokan, sweets, cookies...even a few puddings.

But these are not cakes.

Although the birthday cake itself can be regarded as a product marketed by merchants, for modern children, when it comes to birthdays, cakes are definitely one of them.

But she is not a skillful girl who can make cakes.

She just eats.

failure.

Because she had no intention of 'birthday' after coming here, and she was busy all the time, so she really forgot about this incident.

In the future, I have to find a suitable opportunity to ask about my birthday, so as not to make such sudden attacks again.

"Ji Jun, can I come in?"

There was a sudden knock at the door.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

A Yuan responded casually, thinking about what kind of gift should be given to properly express her blessing.

"Ji Jun, Feng is here to see you."

Xun knelt at the door and reported in a crisp voice—she had just started doing this kind of reception work, and she was very cautious in everything.

"Feng why... ah!"

She didn't match the identity of the name for a while, but when she did, she remembered what was going on.

At the end of the year, she asked the heads of various workshops to report and receive the year-end bonus.

In addition to the consolation prize for everyone, the person in charge is planning to give everyone a single room in the apartment.

Although I have a dormitory now, having my own house will give me a greater sense of belonging.

Too shocked to forget about business, that's not okay.

A Yuan quietly rubbed her face, allowing herself to focus on her work again.

Feng quickly appeared at the door.

Maybe it's because nutrition has caught up, maybe it's because work can really change a person's temperament, she seems to be a different person now.

Not only has his figure grown taller, but his skinny cheeks have also become fuller. Although his body is still slender, it is no longer as thin as a dead branch.

"Ji Jun, Feng is here to report on work."

Her voice no longer trembled.

It was much better than that interview a long time ago when I didn't even dare to raise my head.

This time, she was able to straighten her chest, and openly reported to Ji Jun about their work and achievements in the past six months.

"You did very well."

After listening to Feng's report, he sat up straight, imitated the posture he had seen on TV, and tried his best to put on the appearance Ji Jun should have.

"Your work is satisfactory, I will reward you, and there will be a house for you in the newly built apartment."

"As for the key, you can get it from Calamus today."

A Yuan gave herself a thumbs up, she felt that she performed very well, she looked like a monarch who gave both kindness and majesty.

However, the person who was rewarded did not respond immediately.After a few seconds of silence, Feng suddenly crawled down again, putting his head on the back of his hands.

"Ji Jun."

She mustered up the courage to speak out the request that had been circling in her heart for a long time.

She also knew that this request was abrupt, even out of nowhere, but for the sake of her only sister, she still...

"What?" A Yuan was stunned for a moment.

When she was stunned, Feng thought that she was too greedy and made Ji Jun angry, so she hurriedly explained: "Can I not give the reward, but instead send my sister to learn to read with Master Nara?"

"Na, Nara-sama is teaching some people to read recently. I, I want my younger sister Ye Zi to learn with her."

The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and at the end, it almost turned into a breathy voice, before it could be said, it disappeared into the air.

Although not expressly stated, in this day and age 'knowledge' is the prerogative of the respectable.

Even if the common people are lucky enough to have the opportunity to read and write, they are almost all men.

Girls want to be literate, and only when their parents or elder brothers love them will they teach them some words.

For example, Xun, the reason why she is literate and can do some simple addition and subtraction is because his father was literate and taught her when he was alive.

For orphans like Feng and his younger sister, it is already thankful that they survived intact.Live, and then marry and have children early in order to continue to live, and work hard for the family and children.

If you are lucky, you can take care of your grandchildren. If you are unlucky, you may die in a childbirth, or lose your life in another disaster.

Feng has seen too many women like this.

She and her sister should have been one of them.Wander with the adults, and then stay where you can live, find a man to marry, have children, and take care of the children while doing housework and farm work.

Like her mother, and so many women I've met.

But Ji Jun showed her another way of life, and she was not reconciled to having to lead such a life.Live unexaminedly, die unexaminedly.

She can also work, she can support herself and her sister by herself, she can rack her brains to think about how to make a new fragrance, and she can get a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from her work.

She likes this kind of life, it will give her a real sense of 'alive'.

It would be fine if there was no light in the world, but now that she has seen the light, how can she not follow the light?

Feng wants to walk a different path from the women in his memory, and also hopes that his sister can escape that fate.

But she can't do it on her own.Even in Xiangfang, not everyone can adapt to work well-let alone delve into more things.There is very little she can teach her younger sister, so she wants her to be literate.

If you can read, you will be able to know more things and find more possibilities.

But if this request makes Jun Ji difficult...

"I'm very sorry, my request is too ignorant."

Feng's forehead hit the floor heavily.

"No, it's not." A Yuan hurriedly signaled Sakura Quanna to stop her.

"It's okay if you want to read and write, I will find a way."

A Yuan felt that she should thank Feng.

Otherwise she would have forgotten.

She forgot that in her opinion, what every child should know and experience is only a privilege in the hands of a few people in this world.

It seems to build a school... In short, it is urgent to build a new classroom.

——Although she herself doesn't like to study that much, learning itself is right.

It is also true that learning has the opportunity to change one's destiny.Even if you can't understand anything from it, the more you know, the wider the world will be, and the more likely it is for more people to have the opportunity to change their lives.

"But this may take a little more time, and I will inform you later."

Teaching is a big event, she can't do it alone, she has to brainstorm and arrange a charter.

——As a result, after seeing the person in charge of the sweater workshop and weaving workshop, it was already dusk when I came back to my senses.

Completely, I can't think of what to get as a gift.

A Yuan who suddenly came back to her senses fell into distress again, time was tight and the task was urgent-should she consider being a bit vulgar and spending money directly.Send a red envelope or send a food package (give him some food).

But this seems to have nothing to do with birthdays, and it will most likely be used on others in the end. After all, Mr. Madara is not a stingy patriarch.There is no sign of luxury in the usual food and drink expenses.

It still has to be like a gift for the person 'Uchiha Madara'.

But personally, she has to go back to the original dead end. Time is tight and tasks are urgent, and it is difficult for her to find a suitable gift in such a short time...

She scratched the paper in front of her with a charcoal pencil, and the messy lines soon polluted the white paper.

Ah, wait.

A Yuan stared at the lines on the white paper and suddenly had an inspiration.

Maybe that's okay.

Well, at a critical moment, you should be able to give it a try.

——So when Uchiha Madara came back, he saw his brother waiting for him after a long absence.

"what's up?"

"Ji Jun asked brother to go see her when you come back."

Uchiha Quanna's expression was calm, and he couldn't see good or bad.Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows, which seemed strange.

What's the matter?Quan Nai didn't even say a word.

But he didn't really mind it. What Quan Nai didn't say at all must be because of Ji Jun's order. If it was because of that Ji Jun... There is really no way.

So Uchiha Madara followed his younger brother through the corridor, up the stairs, and came to a place he had never been to before.

"Oh! Come, come."

Just when he got closer, he heard Senshou Bashirama's voice that made people feel silly for some reason.

"Then we have to prepare here too, hurry up and fish it out."

"Ji-kun, watch out for your clothes!" Uchiha mirror said.

"Then I chop vegetables?"

"Don't let Jun Ji get the knife!"

The sound of soldiers and horses came from inside.

"……What is this doing?"

Uchiha Madara not only raised his eyebrows, but looked at his younger brother who was still calm.

"...This is it."

Uchiha Quanna still didn't say anything, he just walked to the closed shoji door and knocked lightly on the door frame three times.

"Ji Jun, can we come in?"

"Wait a minute, another 2 minutes, just 2 minutes!"

A girl's anxious voice came from the room.

"...just wait a moment."

Uchiha Quanna stood in front of the door, preventing the possibility that Uchiha Madara might open the door suddenly.

Until the shoji door behind the door made a slight sound and opened a crack.

The handsome black-haired young man finally stepped aside and motioned for his brother to open the door.

...strange.

Madara Uchiha shook his head, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to open the shoji door in front of him.

There was a snap.

"I'm sorry bro."

Uchiha Quanna suddenly pressed Uchiha Madara's hand from behind.

So Uchiha Madara was rarely... drenched by flower petals.

——It was A Yuan who did it.

Among the people present, she was probably the only one who could do this.There is no salute, no garland, you can use petals!Although doing this is a bit sorry for the hard-working flowers, but life occasionally has a sense of ritual like this.

If other people dare to do this, even if the circumstances are justifiable, they will inevitably be handed over for a 'discussion' later.

"This is……"

Inexplicably, Uchiha Madara, who was held down by his younger brother and drenched with petals on his head, was not angry, but he didn't understand the intention of doing so.

What is this doing?

"Wait a mininute."

Yuan was lifted from the chair by Senju Hashirama, she grabbed her clothes with one hand, and Uchiha Madara's hand with the other, and hurried forward.

Then he pushed the person onto the chair in front of the table.

Uchiha Mirror also walked over with a tray.

"So this is..."

"Happy birthday to you!"

Before Uchiha Madara finished speaking, he was interrupted by this neat 'Happy Birthday'.

Although this also includes some reluctant voices, the overall effect is still very satisfactory.

At least that battlefield Shura really showed a 'sluggish' expression.

Uchiha Madara was stunned.

He really didn't expect this to happen.

——It’s for my own birthday.

"Oh, Ji Jun really surprised me when he said it." Senju Zhuma, who was finally able to speak properly, began to explain.

"When Ji Jun suddenly asked me to celebrate your birthday, I found out that Madara is celebrating your birthday today—really, I didn't even know, why didn't you tell me."

"Brother! You know what to do with this kind of thing!" Qian Shoufei showed a disgusted expression. "Anyway, that's..."

"Of course it's Madara's birthday, my Apocalypse's birthday, of course we have to celebrate... How did you beat someone?"

Senjujuma, who was hit suddenly, turned his head to look at his younger brother in a daze, but only saw the back of his head.

"Tobima, we are no longer enemies." Senshou Hashirama gave the other self a look, then walked to his younger brother and began to brainwash him.

"Stop holding on to your old thoughts."

Senju Hashirama from the parallel world replaced Senju Hashirama, smiling as Uchiha mirror put the chopsticks and steaming bowl in front of Uchiha Madara.

In the slightly larger bowl in front of you is a bowl of...noodles?

It is thicker than common noodles, with a few green vegetables and a semi-solidified egg on top.Through the milky white, you can see the egg yolk which is still liquid inside.

So much fanfare, just for... a bowl of noodles?

Although it is true that it is not often seen such noodles made of fine white noodles, but...

Uchiha Madara turned his head to look at Ji Jun.

"This is called longevity noodles."

"There is only one noodle in total. It is said that you can live a long life if you keep dropping it when you eat it." A Yuan explained with a smile, "Although the noodle is a bit thicker than the first class, you still have to be careful when eating it. of."

"Long life to a hundred years... huh?"

"Yes." Ah Yuan nodded affirmatively. "Happy birthday to you, I sincerely thank you for being born in this world, so I hope you live a long life."

"This is a bit of a request for a ninja."

Madara Uchiha smiled.

"But this is Ji-kun's order, so please don't let Uchiha's evaluation drop because of it."

Ah Yuan also laughed.

Then he explained the truth embarrassingly:

"But in fact, I didn't have time to prepare, so I can only think of this... However, the noodles are made by Quan Nai, the water is made by Kagami, and the seasoning is Hezi. I just put the noodles in."

In the end, she didn't bother to scoop up noodles or chop vegetables.

She hardly did anything except come up with an idea.

"Do not."

Uchiha Madara glanced around softly, and finally landed on the simple but blessed 'Longevity Noodles' in front of him.

"Enough is enough."

That's enough.

"Then let's go to the last step... Although there is no cake, there is still a ceremony."

Yuan nodded to the calamus, and after receiving the signal from Yuan, the calamus took out a candle and lit it, and then fixed it in front of Uchiha Madara with wax oil.

"This is a birthday privilege. Make a wish in front of the candle in your heart, and blow out the candle after you finish your wish... It is said that it is the most likely way to make your wish come true."

"Then we'll go out first, and you can wish while eating."

A Yuan began to clean up everyone, leaving only the younger brother Quan Nai.

"Remember that wishes must be recited silently, and must not be spoken out, otherwise it will not work."

Before closing the door, A Yuan poked his head and finished his last instructions.

Although it's good to be lively together, for them, it's best to be with their relatives.

She is an outsider, so don't get involved.

After everyone left, the room suddenly became quiet.

"I didn't expect you to be with them...so troublesome." Uchiha Madara wanted to say it was a 'nonsense', but at this moment, he really couldn't say that such behavior was a 'meaningless nonsense'.

"It's rare for brother's birthday, isn't it good to celebrate it?"

Uchiha Izuna rested his arms on the table, smiling and looking at his elder brother who stretched his brows and eyes, and exuded a soft breath all over his body.

"Brother, happy birthday to you."

In the past, he thought that there would be no such opportunity again. No matter what the reason was for Ji Jun to come here and choose this place, he would be sincerely grateful for everything.

Even if it's just for today, to be able to spend a birthday with my brother like this.

Uchiha Quanna's face showed a rare childish joy.

"This is a 'one piece of noodle' that I worked so hard to make, brother, don't break it just by using too much force."

"Who do you think I am?"

Madara Uchiha lazily responded to his brother.

Looking at the steaming heat, he was in a daze for a moment.

He thought that he had almost let go of everything in the past.

Whether it's childhood expectations, dreams, or the fact that I have lost my brother.

Those pains, hesitation, and hopes, along with those weak thoughts, were imprisoned in a place that he couldn't find—after all, he had nothing to lose.

For a while, he thought his life would be like this.

Like so many Uchiha patriarchs before, he led the clansmen to fight together, was active on the battlefield, and then lost relatives and friends again and again, until the last day it was his turn to die somewhere.

It wasn't until now that he realized that he had actually been expecting a miracle to happen.

Whatever method is good, as long as you don't make mistakes like this, even if the world is still the same bad, but as long as something starts to change, then things will definitely not develop to a worse place.

Just like today.

He can sit here and hear someone sincerely say 'I hope Madara Uchiha can live a long life'.

It's not about chasing victory, it's not about praising past glories.

It's just simple, I hope that as a ninja, I can live for a long time.

Uchiha Madara closed his eyes for a moment, then raised his hand and extinguished the burning candle on the table.

If there is really a 'wish that can come true', then he hopes to transfer this wish to Ji Jun.

In his words, as long as there is such a day, with this bowl of noodles in front of him, it is enough.
