Because I'm too afraid of pain, it's worth all the looks

What Oda Sakunosuke could do was to resettle these children in a hurry, and there were still many jobs waiting for the low-level personnel of the port Mafia like him, so Oda Sakunosuke simply comforted the two children and left. Before they had time to eat, only the four people in the store were left staring at each other.

Sato Shigeru laughed and said, "You must be hungry, I'll make you some curry rice."

Ming Qiu immediately froze in place, and could only pay attention to Sato Shigeru's back.

Sato-chan is so cunning, she actually left the important task of communicating with children to her alone! !

"That... your names are Sakule and Kosuke, aren't you?"

Saku Le nodded timidly, while Xingsuke stared at Ming Qiu nervously.

Ming Qiu tugged at the ends of her hair, and still said awkwardly: "My name is Ming Qiu, Xiao Zhichan and they all call me Qiujiang—" She said this and immediately emphasized: "But I am older than you, I want to call my sister."

Saki Le muttered: "Sister..."

Ming Qiu was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

Has she finally become a reliable big sister?This is so good! !

Ming Qiu poured hot water for the two children, Xing Jie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Um... Oda, when will he come back?"

Ming Qiu blinked, and said: "Just now, Xiaozhijiang came back for the first time in more than a month, and it will probably be a long time before the next time."

Kosuke groaned in disappointment.

Mingqiu suddenly realized, and said: "Xingsuke likes Xiaozhichan very much, right?"

"No, no! Just thank him..."

"Because Xiao Zhijiang is a strong and gentle person." Ming Qiu found a few dry towels to cover the heads of the two children, and slowly wiped them off, saying, "I will live here with peace of mind from now on." Well, Koori-chan will definitely come back safely, I believe in him, so don't worry about Sakule and Kosuke, Koori-chan is very handsome!"

"Um……"

"Curry rice is here."

The hot curry rice and all kinds of fried food comforted the young and fragile hearts of the three people present. Ming Qiu even had a rare appetite. After eating two bowls of rice in a row, he burped with satisfaction.

Ming Qiu couldn't help but fell back on the chair, and said with emotion: "Ah! Sure enough, the curry rice made by Sato sauce is the best in the world!!"

Even though she is an adult, she sighed loudly about the deliciousness of the food like a child, and the two children couldn't help but look at her.

Ming Qiu sat up straight, and asked a little strangely: "Hey, why do you keep staring at me?"

Saki Le whispered: "Sister is so beautiful..."

"Wow!" Ming Qiu stood up suddenly, and asked curiously, "Really? Am I pretty? Xingjie, am I pretty?"

Xingsuke, who was repeatedly questioned by her, couldn't help but said: "Although she is very beautiful, it is too much to keep asking like this!"

Ming Qiu chuckled, and said triumphantly: "Now I'm a pretty big sister, Xiao Zhichan will definitely praise me if she knows I'm so good."

Xingsuke couldn't help but muttered: "Why did you call him 'Xiaozhichan'... so strange..."

It is too weird for Oda Sakunosuke, who is more than 1.8 meters tall and has very strong muscles, to be given a cute nickname like "Xiaozhichan".

"Because it's different." Ming Qiu said this as a matter of course, her purple eyes flashed with complacency, as if she was the only one in the world who could do this, she said with a smile: "In this way, as long as they hear With such a name, you will immediately understand that it is me who is looking for them."

Her long eyelashes hang down, making her more gentle, as delicate as a girl in a Rococo painting, with a warm and elegant brilliance.

Saki Le's eyes glowed, and she said longingly, "Sister is so smart! I also want to be as beautiful and smart as my sister!"

Ming Qiu immediately patted his chest, and promised firmly: "Xiao Le and I will definitely become a beautiful and smart girl!"

Shigeru Sato, who just came out of the back kitchen with miso soup, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "Qiu-chan, your nose is going to get longer."

Ming Qiu was confused, turned his head to look at Sato Shigeru, and said, "What do you mean?"

Sato Shigeru served soup for the three of them one by one, and then sat down to eat together. He said casually: "It's to praise Qiu Jiang for being smart. Smart people will have longer noses."

Only then did Ming Qiu suddenly realize, and said, "So that's how it is!"

Xingsuke: "..." It's an idiot, it must be an idiot.

Saku Le: "..." My sister looks so stupid and beautiful!

This time, Oda Sakunosuke did not disappear for a long time. The important reason is naturally that he adopted several orphans who lost their parents. I understand that these children may have lost their homes because of bad things outside.

At the beginning, Sato-chan and Xiaozhi-chan took her in and gave her a warm home in this cold and merciless world. Of course, Mingqiu would also inherit their tenderness and continue to shine, so he soon became friends with several children. took a slice.

"Get ready for breakfast! Start counting!"

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

"Report to sister Qiu, Shinji sleeps late!"

Ming Qiu immediately jumped up and went straight to the second floor, shouting as he walked, "Shinji is getting up soon! Everyone is waiting for you to have breakfast together!"

Oda Sakunosuke watched Ming Qiu run up to the second floor, and then opened the door and entered the store, saying: "This morning is really lively." He was wearing winter clothes, which looked much thicker, and he was holding several Paper bags filled with new clothes for the children.

The originally well-behaved four children immediately rushed over, pulling Oda Sakunosuke and chattering.

"After all, Qiu-chan took the initiative to set an example and start getting up early." Shigeru Sato sighed and said, "Thanks to Qiu-chan, this family is getting more and more lively now, and Xingsuke will be able to go to elementary school in the next year."

Having said that, he didn't show distress, but was very relieved.

After all, these children have all experienced family ruin and death, and some traumatic reactions are inevitable, but thanks to the existence of Ming Qiu, Sato Shigeru hardly has to worry about the psychological problems of these children.

Ming Qiu seemed to be seeing the eldest daughter of her newly born siblings for the first time, and shared her picture books and a series of good things with her younger siblings, but perhaps her mentality was not as mature as the children's.

A few children hung on Oda Sakunosuke, but it was a trivial matter for him, so he said very calmly: "Speaking of which, next week will be the traditional New Year. I didn't expect this job to last so long."

"It's almost three months."

"almost."

Sato Shigeru served each child a good meal, and said: "Oda, Qiu-chan has been thinking about going to the temple with you to worship, don't refuse her."

Oda Sakunosuke doesn't like that kind of social and entertainment scene, but just like Sato Shigeru said "this family", whether it is the five children or Sato Shigeru and Ming Qiu, they are all endowed with different meanings.

It’s probably like what the gentleman who gave him the book said—“Writing novels is equal to writing people.” If he can get his life back on that “right track”, maybe he can really pick up the pen and start writing. Bar.

Besides, thinking of Ming Qiu's teary eyes when he asked for help, no one would be able to refuse.

So Oda Sakunosuke nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Sato Shigeru said with a smile: "By the way, Qiu-chan has even arranged the itinerary for everyone to celebrate the New Year together."

Oda Sakunosuke was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Celebrate the New Year together..."

"Yeah, I've been saving money to buy a large box of ice cream from Costco these days, and it seems that I even arranged a card game."

Oda Sakunosuke looked at Ming Qiu who was pulling Shinji down the stairs outside the store, and said softly, "I'm looking forward to it."

"A cup of mouth, the field wind is east, the service card is white, the red treasure card is two, and the north treasure card is one."

On New Year's Eve, the three of them simply remodeled Shigeru Sato's bedroom, leaving an open space, sitting cross-legged by the kotatsu, and the five children squeezed between the three of them, even if the electric stove inside was not turned on. , it was already a warm atmosphere.

"Wuuuuu..." Ming Qiu obediently pushed the snacks beside him to Oda Sakuyuki's assistant, wiped away his tears and said, "It's been a whole night, and I haven't had a fight... I've been practicing secretly by myself for a long time, I thought I could beat everyone in Japan..."

Shigeru Sato said dumbfoundedly: "No wonder Qiu Jiang strongly wants to play mahjong, that's why."

"Then I won't be polite." Oda Sakunosuke smiled and accepted the snacks that she pushed over, and then was immediately divided by Xingsuke and the other children, leaving Ming Qiu alone to watch the children eating well.

Sato Shigeru comforted: "It's okay, Qiu Jiang, there is still ice cream in the refrigerator."

Ming Qiu cheered up immediately, and said solemnly: "I'm going to use my super-large box of ice cream and Xiao Zhijiang as a bet! This time, I will definitely double my money!"

This kind of mentality of a gambler can't help but make Sato Shigeru complain: "Be careful of going bankrupt!"

Oda Sakunosuke was not frightened by her at all, but calmly said: "Okay."

Shigeru Sato glanced at the two worriedly, "It's scary..."

"Two cups, the field wind is east wind, the door wind is west wind, the north treasure card two, the inner card two, the red treasure card two—"

Ming Qiu only felt that her eyes were staring, and her body was involuntarily turned backwards. She couldn't help but murmured, "How could this be? Could it be that my law of conservation of luck has failed...how could it be... woo woo woo... "

"What a shock..." Shigeru Sato sighed, seeing Ming Qiu lying there motionless, he said, "Qiu Jiang? Qiu Jiang...as expected fell asleep."

The rest of the children had long been sleepy because of this all-night activity, and they lay crookedly on the ground, obviously fast asleep.

As for Ming Qiu, he opened his arms wide and slept soundly, perhaps because he was hit too hard by the mahjong fiasco, even in his sleep he still frowned.

Shigeru Sato put away the mahjong on the table, and Sakunosuke Oda sorted out the snacks and garbage on the floor. The two quickly reorganized the messy bedroom that had been tossed about by six children.

Shigeru Sato clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the clock on the wall and said with emotion: "It's past zero."

"Yeah, it's a new year."

Shigeru Sato looked at Sakunosuke Oda, and asked with a smile: "How is it, Oda, how does it feel to celebrate the New Year together for the first time?"

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the sleeping Kid King and the little ones, and said, "It's amazing."

The two of them packed up their things together, pushed open the bedroom door, and walked out cautiously, then Sato Shigeru said: "This is finally not in vain. She is a foreigner after all, and she is not familiar with our New Year's customs." I understand, but I’m still doing my best to prepare for us.”

Oda Sakunosuke stopped, and he said seriously, "I understand."
