"...Is it already noon?" Qing Que asked in a daze.

Shaking her head, Qing Que got up and looked at the bedroom that had been tidied up, "Is this done by Chuuya?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

There was a blush on the boy's cheeks, "That, teacher, I, uh..."

Qingque was a little puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Zhong Ye struggled again and again, and finally expressed his inner doubt: "It turns out that the teacher is a mountain bird."

Speaking of this, Chuya looked flustered, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean to inquire about the teacher! I discovered it by accident when I was helping the teacher organize the drafts on the desk!"

"Hahahaha, it's okay, it's okay." Qingque reassured Zhongye, "I didn't intend to hide it from Zhongye, but I just didn't expect to be found out by Zhongye today."

"Okay, now I'm going to wash up. Is Hatta down there?"

Zhong also nodded.

"Chuya go down first, I'll be fine soon. Today is Hatta's last day in the store, how can I, the boss, be absent?" Qingque said, pushing Zhongya downstairs.

Zhong also had no choice but to say, "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, teacher, you must tell me."

After going downstairs, Zhong also went to the kitchen to prepare Qingque's lunch.

Ever since he experienced Qingque's appalling culinary knowledge that day, Zhong has also started to learn how to cook.There are many books in the bookstore, and there are many types of cooking, so I will learn one by one.

Over time, Zhong became the best cook in the store.

Although she is the youngest, she bears the responsibilities of her parents for food and clothing.

After Qingque finally washed up and came out, he saw a table of simple but warm meals.

"Chuya is really my favorite student." Qingque sighed.

Zhong Ye blushed, "Teacher, it's time to eat."

Hatta also packed up the bookstore and happily served dinner at the table.

"What's the matter today, little shopkeeper?"

"It was because I stayed up all night last night and fell asleep this morning because I was too sleepy. I'm sorry, I made Hatta and Kazuka worry."

"Stay up all night?" Hatta wondered, "Is the shop manager busy with something? Could it be because of the mafia people yesterday?"

Qingque nodded, thought for a while, then shook his head again.

"Of course not. It's just because my second senior brother who has no morals made me angry, so I used a little trick to retaliate."

She gave Zhong Ye a piece of meat, and said to the two of them: "I have no power to restrain the chicken, and that bastard wants to hide from me deliberately, so it is very difficult to beat him up. After thinking about it, I just I decided to write something to let him know how good I am."

"Write something?" A question mark appeared on the top of Hatta's head.

Zhong Ye knew it right away, "The teacher said, is it the "Little Animal Forest"?"

"That's right." Qingque said with a smile.

In a good mood, she stuffed herself with a meal, enjoying the beauty of the beating on her taste buds, Qingque could almost imagine Mori Ogai's expression when he saw this short fairy tale.

After lunch, Qingque faxed Fujita to come to Wanxiangtang.

It's not that he can't go in person, it's just that it's not suitable for Qingque to go out in the current situation.

Yokohama is full of fish and dragons. The publishing house was bought by the port mafia yesterday. She, a small bookstore owner, was invited to drink black tea. Today, these news probably spread to the ears of some organization leaders in Yokohama.

Besides, there are other things to do today.

"Little store manager, isn't it open today?"

"You don't need to open the shop. I'm too tired to work every day. Let's take today as a rest day." Qing Que said, and went to the warehouse.

I went to the warehouse and rummaged for a while, and finally found it.

Qingque brought the things in her hands to Hatta and Nakaya, and took out three small cups.

"This is?" The two surrounded Qingque and asked one after another.

"This is rice wine. It's a kind of wine from my hometown. It's made from fragrant and soft white rice. It doesn't have a high concentration. It's a good choice whether it's a drink or a seasoning for cooking. Even children can drink it. drink."

Hatta's eyes lit up when he heard that it was from the store manager's hometown, "Is the store manager planning to open it today?"

"Of course, it's a farewell to Bada." Qingque smiled, "I can't do nothing, just say goodbye to Badian."

Hatta was taken aback for a moment, then patted the back of his head, "Hey, the shop manager doesn't need to do this for me."

Qing Que put the rice wine on the table, then raised her hand and opened the sealed lid of the wine jar.

Immediately, a strong wine scent wafted out, sweet but not pungent, soft and slightly drunk.

Chuya was instantly attracted by the charming aroma, and seemed impatient to try this rice wine.

Qingque didn't let them wait, and quickly filled the three cups, and even poured out some white rice dregs.

After resealing the lid, Qingque raised her own wine glass.

Chuya and Hatta also immediately raised their wine glasses.

"Yata, you are an optimistic and brave person. I also hope that you can continue to maintain your shining character in the future."

She smiled at the boy.

Hatta stared blankly at her for a long time, then he smiled helplessly, "Well, if this is what the shop manager wants, I will do my best."

Zhong Ye looked at the two of them and suddenly said, "Then I hope Brother Hatta will be safe and healthy all the time!"

Qingque stretched out her hand to hold Chuya's head, "The same goes for Zhongya."

Zhong also raised his head slightly confused.

The girl lowered her head slightly, looked into his eyes, and smiled gently, "My blessing to Hatta also takes effect on Chuya."

"...Hmm." Zhong also bowed his head in embarrassment.

Hatta looked back and forth between the two, and finally chose to smile without saying a word.

The taste of rice wine is like its aroma, which is sweet and moistens the throat.The soft wine flowed down the mouth into the throat, and finally warmed the whole body.

After drinking a glass of wine, Nakaya's cheeks flushed, his eyes became blurred, and the whole little drunk cat collapsed on the table, still yelling inarticulately.

Unexpectedly, with such a low alcohol content, Zhong Ye said he was drunk and then he was drunk, Qing Que was both funny and helpless.

Hatta couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to rub Chuya's head vigorously, "Chuya, your drinking capacity is too bad, the shop manager doesn't even blush."

"Okay, Hatta, send him to the bedroom to rest." Qingque said with a smile.

Hatta praised again and again, "Indeed, Chuka needs to rest well."

As he said that, he couldn't help laughing again, a smile that couldn't be contained was all over his face.

Jiang Zhong also carried him back to the guest room, found the bed and stuffed him in.

It also happened that Fujita came at this time.

"Teacher~Teacher, are you there~"

Fujita's voice outside the door was rippling, wishing he could become a puddle of water and squeeze in through the crack of the door.

Qingque opened the door for him and let him in.

"Old..." As soon as Fujita entered the door, he saw Hatta, and the address he wanted to blurt out was abruptly stuck.

"It's okay, Hatta can know."

Hatta was confused.

Fujita let out a breath, "When I received the fax from the teacher, I rushed over immediately, just to read your new work as soon as possible!"

Fujita's enthusiastic Qingque was not surprised, he just greeted Hatta to entertain Fujita, and then went to the bedroom to find the manuscript he had just finished today.

Hatta poured a glass of water for Fujita, sat next to him and asked, "Why are you called the shop manager teacher? Aren't you from the publishing house?"

Fujita took the water glass and mentioned Qingque, with an indescribably pious expression on his face, "Ms. Yamatori is a genius in Yokohama! Her literary talent is simply unique!"

"A mountain bird?"

"Yes."

"The little store manager is a mountain bird?"

"Yes!" Fujita's eyes were on fire!

"Ms. Yamadori is gentle, kind, and amiable. Her writing is like a ray of light illuminating the whole of Yokohama! Her "Sakura" has improved everyone's self-awareness! Her "Misplaced Lover" has made everyone feel better. People have found their own hope in the environment of numbness and despair like a cage!"

"Teacher Yamadori, you are my God!"

Hatta, the brain stopped thinking.

After Qingque came back, he saw Hatta with a blank expression as if he had lost his language function, and Fujita who was always chattering about the beauty of Mr. Yamatori.

"Pfft! What are you doing?" Qing Que came to the small table and sat down, then handed the manuscript to Fujita, "This is a short fairy tale, and it still follows the model of the newspaper."

"Okay, Yamadori-sensei!"

"After reading it, remember to print a copy. I will keep the manuscript, and you can take the copy."

"Absolutely no problem, teacher!"

Fujita opened the manuscript reverently.

This was the first time he touched Mera's manuscript, and his movements were quite cautious, even his breathing became much lighter, for fear that his exhaled air would disturb the words written in ink in the manuscript.

Seeing Fujita immersed in it, Qingque raised his hand to wake up Hatta.

"What's the matter, are you so shocked?"

Hatta came back to his senses, and took a long breath, "Ah, after the shock subsides, I don't think there's anything strange about it."

"Eh?" Qing Que couldn't help chuckling, "Does Hatta think so?"

"Yeah, no matter what it is, as long as you think of it as a small store manager, you will feel nothing strange."

Hatta also laughed.

From the first moment I entered the bookstore, I felt that this girl was different from her surroundings.

She just stood there, quiet, not speaking, but with a smile in her eyes.

It was like a chaotic and complicated color drawing board, suddenly broke into a flying bird drawn vividly in ink.

This flying sparrow is so abrupt, out of place with the surroundings, as if it will fly away in the next second.

"Well, anyway, it's not surprising." Hatta scratched his head, that's all he could say.

"Then can I take it as Hatta's compliment to me?" Qingque said with a joke.

"That's right. And whether the store manager is Yamadori or not, he is still a store manager. In any case, the good character of the store manager will not change because of the identity of Mr. Yamadori, will it?"

Qing Que was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "Even I can't help feeling shy when Hatta praises people's kung fu."

"This is normal. The shop manager is too mature, always forgetting that he is also a child, and always likes to call me a child." Hatta joked.
