Grandpa Aoi squeezed the steering wheel and laughed: "You can tell it if you want, and I will listen to novel stories too."

"Hmph~ Then this story is quite novel, it all starts with an ultra-ancient relic..."

……

ps: There will still be more updates today, and everyone should work hard for their studies and work.

Chapter 193 Not good!I can't help myself at all!

The tractor was not driving fast, and Ayano told stories on the way with great enjoyment. Sometimes the joy of being a communicator was even higher than that of two comic fans discussing comics.

Grandpa knew half of what he heard, but seeing the little kid so happy, he smiled lightly and didn't interrupt, and listened to the whole thing all the way.

After getting off the car, grandpa took out a bottle of milk from the pocket of the tractor and handed it to Ayano.

"Thank you, grandpa." Ayano was not polite. After taking it, she opened the plastic paper with her hand, took a big gulp, and then let out a breath of joy.

Grandpa put away the keys, took Ayano to the nearest copy shop, and prepared to fax the manuscript. This town has actually existed for a long time. The whole road has been repaired and repaired, and it has lasted for generations .

In the copy shop, Ayano slowly sent a fax to her editor-in-charge according to the way she fumbled a week ago, with her hands on the machine, humming in her mouth, and staring at each page of manuscript paper as it was sucked in by the machine. Minutes, all done.

She then used her mobile phone to make a call to the editor in charge, and she was not completely relieved until the reception was successfully received there.

She has been in the country for two weeks, and she hasn't read the two issues of jp comics, and she doesn't know her voting ranking at all, but I heard that if the data is really bad, the general responsible editor will ask herself to discuss this matter Let’s see if there is any room for improvement. Often an excellent editor can affect the thinking of a cartoonist. Since the editor doesn’t say much, does it mean that his achievements are still good?

Ayano left the copy shop with her grandfather.

Holding her mobile phone high in her hand, she looked at the text message dialog box with the editor in charge on the screen. The extremely brief words "received, thank you for your hard work" completely failed to tell how the editor in charge viewed her work.

Ayano puffed up her cheeks slightly.

Grandpa turned to look at her, seeing her in a daze, and then asked, "Do you want to eat something before going back?"

When she heard that there was something to eat, Ayano immediately opened her eyes wide, turned her head to look at her grandpa, nodded and said, "Yes! Let's go back after eating something!"

Grandpa immediately led the way, and she followed behind. They made a big circle on the whole street until they passed a small bridge. The buildings on the other side of the bridge were obviously very different from this one. Although the area she was just now was old, it You can still see a sense of modernity, but the entire architectural style at the other end of the small bridge has changed, resembling the previous Edo period, with gravel roads on the ground.

"Oh..." Her small mouth twitched slightly in surprise, it turned out that there was a hidden world behind the town.

I followed my grandpa for a while, until I came to the door of a house. Seeing that the place was not big, my grandpa opened the curtain and walked in first, followed by Ayano. After entering, the area was really not that big, probably only It was about [-] to [-] square meters, except for the kitchen, there was only room for two tables. When Ayano looked up, she realized that this was an Oden restaurant.

"Excuse me, order here." Grandpa yelled into the kitchen. Not long after, an old woman came out of it. She looked about sixty or seventy years old, and her back was obviously bent.

Ayano was dazed for two seconds, and then immediately sat down. The entire wall on the left was covered with photos, some of which were yellowed and old, and looked old.

"Give me konjac knots, white radish, kelp, fish balls and chikuwa, Ayano, what do you want?"

"Yes!" Ayano reacted, and looked at the wooden signs on the top of the kitchen, all of which were handwritten. How long has this store been?She swallowed, and then ordered what she wanted to eat. The oden restaurant that grandpa brought here must have a unique taste. While looking forward to the taste, her eyes were still caught by the food on the left wall. Photos attract.

"These are photos taken with friends in the past. At that time, there was a sushi selling competition here, and there was a challenge to eat [-] sushi. In addition to the prize money, the winner can also permanently paste the photos on this place. Oh, yes, Xiao The picture of the tree should be on it too." Grandpa leaned closer to the wall, and began to search for it gropingly.

"Is Xia Shu also on it? Really, can he eat fifty sushi?" Ayano exclaimed.

Grandpa grinned, waved his hands, and said frankly: "How can he have such a great ability, but at that time, Ah Ji, oh, the female shopkeeper just now, saw that his mouth was still full after eating, and he was unwilling to admit defeat." In the end, he made an exception to take a picture of him and put it on the wall, ah! This is it.”

The photos on the wall were all hung on small hooks. Grandpa took one photo and took it down. He looked at it twice before handing it to Ayano.

Ayano quickly took it with both hands and looked at the photo.

In the photo is a little boy, his mouth is full of food, his eyes are red, as if he has just cried, and there is still snot under his nose. Ayano recognized him at a glance as Natsuki, because he is so handsome It’s so similar, a group of uncles and aunts surrounded the little boy, and a man on the side was putting his hand on his head, a group photo of a group of people, Xia Shu in this photo feels only five or six years old, that Couldn't it be that it has been more than ten years now, the photos have obviously turned yellow, but they have been kept until now, looking at the smiling faces in the photos, Ayano still feels warm in her heart.

"It's so cute..." Ayano held her face in her hands, and to be honest, she was overwhelmed by this shrunken version of Natsuki Moe.

"That's right, that man next to me is me. I also had black hair 12 years ago." Grandpa squeezed his chin, and couldn't help but miss the past. "I used to bring Xia Shu to this restaurant to eat, and everyone was familiar with it. It's strange, Xia Shu has not been a rowdy person since he was a child, he treats people kindly and politely, except for a competitive heart, everything else is pretty good, so when I learned that he was going to Tokyo to go to school, I was always worried. He would have conflicts with his classmates, and now it seems that he has grown a lot."

"Well! Xia Shu is very gentle now. I don't feel competitive at all. Now Xia Shu always considers others, has a good personality, can cook, and..." Ayano said sharply After a change, he suddenly began to point his fingers and describe the advantages of Xia Shu.

He didn't notice the surprised look from grandpa at all.

"Ayano is quite concerned about my little tree, so why not...you like little tree, right?"

As soon as Ayano heard this, she would probably have been perfunctory if it was normal, but last night a few girls reached a consensus, so her brain was running fast, she raised her head, and said firmly, "Yes, I I like Natsuki, so I'm still working on it!"

"Come on? Could it be that you are chasing the little tree?!" Grandpa said with a look of shock, straightening his mustache.

"Aha..." Ayano showed embarrassment, and touched the back of her head with her right hand, "I guess I have this idea, but I haven't put it into action yet."

"Does the little tree know about this?"

"He... knows it, ah, grandpa, don't ask, anyway, I will work hard!" Ayano interrupted this topic, and then clenched her right hand to express her determination.

Grandpa looked at this good-looking girl with a good temper. If she was to say that she was worthy of Xiaoshu, she would be more than enough, even Xiaoshu's blessing, but he never expected that she would be the one who wanted to chase Xiaoshu. Shu, not only her, but also the girls accompanying her are all very good-looking. When did my grandson become so attractive?As a grandfather, he was puzzled.

But after all, they are elders, and the road they have traveled is still more salty than they have eaten. Seeing Ayano's shy look, it can be seen that he really likes Xiaoshu, as long as he is sincere, he will not interfere with the next thing .

"I really don't understand the world of young people more and more." Grandpa shook his head, and then his expression returned to normal, and he didn't ask any further questions.

"Oh, by the way, I remember I took two more pictures and hung them on the wall, you can look for them."

"That's right! Then I'll look for it!" Ayano leaned closer to the wall, looking for Xiao Xiashu's figure in one photo after another, and soon found a surprise. There were about three photos, all of which were photos of Xia Shu when he was a child.

"Okay, so cute!" Ayano pinched the photo and was so excited, Natsuki's face was still fleshy when she was a child, it's too flamboyant!Ayano herself prefers children, so seeing these photos directly broke her inner defense.

It's completely irresistible!

One of the solo photos of Xiao Xiashu smiling brightly at the camera, she has been looking at for the longest time, her cheeks are flushed, and she didn't notice it until the oden was served.

Just now the old woman came over with a soup bowl, saw that she was looking at the photo, the old woman looked at Grandpa Aoi in the same way, seemed to understand the general idea, put the soup bowl on the table, and said: "If you like it, you can take this photo with you."

"Huh? Really, really?!" Ayano raised her head abruptly.

"Well, it's more valuable if someone takes it away than putting it here with me." The old woman had a kind face on her face. Her body had become rickety over the past few decades, but what remained unchanged was her consistent maintenance. Looking at this store, he glanced sideways at Grandpa Aoi, "You haven't been here for a while, are you tired of the food I made?"

"Ah Ji, please forgive me. I can't eat oden for three days. You should study some new dishes after so many years. I have been eating it for decades. It would be a lie if I said I am not tired of it." Yes." Grandpa Aoi cut off a boiled radish with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully, "But if you taste this taste again, you still think it's delicious. Eat it too, Ayano, don't just look at it, The taste changes as it cools."

"Yeah!" Ayano carefully put away the photo, her stomach began to growl, she picked up the chopsticks, and started to eat. Sure enough, the taste was really good. After eating, Ayano felt that it was not enough, so she added some more , Today's outing is really worth it!

……

After spending another two weeks in the country, Natsuki Aoi also discussed going home with the other girls, and waited until the next summer vacation to come back to visit grandpa. Among them, Ayano, who learned the news that she was going home, rushed directly to Grandpa Aoi. Since the last time, whenever Grandpa is free, Ayano will ask him to go to Grandma Aji’s Kanto cooking shop to eat. During the period, due to the road, she also improved the technology about bicycles. Now Riding five or six kilometers is completely effortless!And she also noticed the unusual atmosphere between Aji's grandma and grandpa during this period of time. While eating delicious food, while eating "melon", life is naturally happy and harmonious. Now that I am leaving, I feel 1 in my heart I can't bear it.

"Grandpa!" Ayano shouted, those who didn't know thought she was her own granddaughter.

On the day of departure, everyone packed up their things and prepared to go home. Ayano was in a state of confusion. Every two steps she took, she would look back at her grandpa. When she got in the car, she would roll down the window, poke her head out, and shout Said: "Grandpa! Remember to say hello to Grandma Aji for me!"

Grandpa Aoi did not speak, because he was very reluctant to part with them in his heart, and the other girls also bid farewell to grandpa one by one. In the end, it was Natsuki who faced his grandpa. Natsuki Aoi stepped forward to give him a hug. He lowered his arm and said, "Keep going!"

"Yeah!" Natsuki Aoi nodded solemnly. He is also very happy that his grandfather still has the spirit he has now. He will definitely continue to work hard when he returns to Tokyo.

Natsuki Aoi turned back to the car, Ryu Sakura took a last look at the village through the rearview mirror, then started the car, and the group of people also set foot on the road back to Tokyo.

Along the Lime Road, the vehicle drifted away until it disappeared. Grandpa standing on the steps of the path stared into the distance for a long time, took a deep breath, and then turned his eyes away: "Okay, let's go and see how the little pig is."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the pigsty, and the busy day of farming began again.

……

After a two-day drive, the group returned to Tokyo. It may be that they are used to staying in the countryside. The hustle and bustle of the big city is not used to it all at once. Long Ying first sent the two sisters back to Takahashi, followed by Hayakawa. It was getting late and the time came. At 05:30 in the afternoon, Long Ying drove slowly into the community where Aoi lived.

When he stopped at the door of his house, he was surprised to find that the door of his house was open.

"What's the situation? It can't be a thief!" Aoi Natsuki panicked.

Instead, Sakurajima Xing, who was in the back seat, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, didn't I say that I hired someone to feed Ji-chan, don't make such a fuss."

"Oh yes, if you don't mention it, I'll forget about it." Aoi Natsuki let out a long sigh of relief, then winked at Lina in the back seat, and the two got out of the car one after the other.

As soon as he walked to the gate, he saw Hetty walking out with Ji Jiang on the marble aisle in front of him. When the two met, they were stunned for a while.

Only Lina, who hadn't seen Ji-chan for a long time, opened her hands and rushed towards Ji-chan quickly. When Ji-chan saw the little master, she immediately jumped back and forth, sticking out her tongue. When the little master approached, she threw herself into her arms and licked her tongue non-stop.

"Heidi, are you here?" Natsuki Aoi finally asked, then suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Sakurajima in the back seat, it must be arranged by you again!

Sakurajima read what he meant, smiled, and said: "Although I really want to say that I arranged it, but unfortunately, this time, it really has nothing to do with me."

"Yes, I'm sorry, I walked in on my own initiative. Just now someone said that he came to feed Ji Jiang. The door was open, so I just..." Heidi smiled apologetically, her right hand was so tense that she kept breaking her knuckles.

Only then did Aoi realize that Heidi had talked to him on the phone once before, and it should be from that time that he knew that Ji-chan might have a dog at home, so it seems that this meeting really has nothing to do with Sakurajima.

"No, thank you for your concern, why don't you go in and sit for a while?"

"No, no, no, I don't have to."

"Let's sit for a while, anyway, don't you happen to be free today, by the way, stay for a meal before leaving." Sakurajima got out of the car at some point, walked up to Heidi, turned her around, and pushed her He walked back towards the entrance door.

"Long Ying also go to the parking lot before." Yingjima turned her head and shouted towards the outside of the iron gate.

And Long Ying in the car also responded with an "ok", and gestured to her along the way, then stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the uphill road ahead.

Before Natsuki Aoi said a word, Sakurajima helped him arrange everything. Feeling the sight of three people and one dog, including Rina, he had no choice but to go forward to open the entrance door, feeling that he was once again trapped today. Got it right...

ps: There will be another update after night or early morning.

Chapter 194 Sakurajima Xing Raises the Middle Finger to Fans

Because they were having dinner at Aoi's house, Sakurajima took Heidi home first and brought Niya over. I believe she would also be very happy to hear that Brother Natsuki came back.

As soon as Natsuki Aoi got home, he got into the kitchen first, opened the refrigerator and looked at the ingredients, there were a little few things, but if he went out to buy vegetables at this point, he would hardly be able to buy fresh vegetables, this...he thought while pinching his chin.

"Why don't you ask everyone to come back to eat sukiyaki at night?" Long Ying suggested standing behind.

"Well, it sounds very good." Aoi Natsuki nodded. Sukiyaki pot is actually Japanese-style hot pot. The taste is a little sweeter, and most of them are almost beef pot. Therefore, for the price, ordinary people only eat it occasionally Last time.

"Then I called directly online." Long Ying took out her phone.

"Okay, then I will transfer the money to you."

"En." Long Ying dialed the phone and walked out of the kitchen.

At this moment, Natsuki Aoi noticed that January was not at home, and a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the floor and tabletops of the house. He looked into the living room and saw Li Na stepping on the dirty living room floor without slippers. , he immediately walked over quickly and shouted: "Lena! Shoes, shoes!"

Lina looked down after hearing this, then realized, turned and returned to the carpet.

"Wait." Natsuki Aoi called her to stop, and then pulled out a wet tissue from the coffee table, then picked up Lina to the sofa, lifted her little foot, which was covered with dust, and had no choice but to Help her wipe her feet clean.

"Just now, let's clean up this area. We'll watch the cartoon later."

"Hmm." Li Na's eyes fixed on her clean little feet, she swung her feet twice, and then nodded.

Immediately, one big and one small started to clean up.

It's been a long time since I've done hygiene, this feeling is quite novel.

Until a few girls came back, the room was quite clean, but the room temperature was still a bit hot. Then Natsuki Aoi wiped Ji-chan’s paws, put them in the room, closed the doors and windows, and turned on the air conditioner. It's air-conditioned.

"It's so cold..." Niya blinked her slender and pure white eyelashes, and her voice sounded more confident than before. Natsuki Aoi handed tissues to everyone, and finally walked up to Niya. In summer, even if you just walk on the road, you can be hot enough to sweat, and Niya is also sweating. He wiped her forehead carefully, but Niya didn't say a word, just stared at Xia Shu in front of her, and slightly moved her left hand. Pinch the corner of his clothes.

The sukiyaki ordered by Long Ying is also delivered home. At this time, all kinds of dishes are brought out and the pots are put on. These are borrowed pots. After eating, you can make an appointment with the store to return the pots. In the dining room, the table Put the sauce into the pot, arrange the ingredients in order, Hetty went to the kitchen to get a bowl, and cracked a raw egg for everyone. The taste of beef dipped in raw eggs is amazing.

Everyone is busy and very lively. To be honest, Natsuki Aoi doesn't hate this atmosphere, and even likes it a little deep in his heart.

The room is quickly filled with air-conditioning, and the heat from everyone dissipates. This feeling is great. In summer, eating hot pot with the air conditioner on is as comfortable as turning on the heater in winter without covering the quilt.

Soon a group of people came to the table, and the moment they lifted the lid of the pot, steaming hot air rushed out, and the aroma was overflowing. Aoi would not eat sukiyaki at home, so Lina was very greedy when she smelled the aroma. Aoi Natsuki handed her a raw egg, told her it was for dipping, and then gave her another piece of beef.

Li Na wrapped the beef in egg liquid according to the pattern, and when she put it in her mouth, she was so happy that she flew away, and the air around her seemed to bloom with little flowers.

Natsuki Aoi smiled slightly, and started to eat dinner. Sakurajima Anko took the initiative to sit on the right side of him, and she always sat in the seat closest to Aoi.

"Sakurajima, I just remembered, counting the days, your ban will almost be lifted." Hetty said suddenly.

"Half a year, time flies so fast."

"This time... you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds. The situation like last time should not happen. That is, you, if it were someone else, might have been forced to leave the group." Hetty sighed.

"Lucky..." Sakurajima murmured casually, obviously she didn't listen to the words, also, if she listened to it, she would not be Sakurajima Anko.

"I didn't expect the idol circle to be quite strict. It turns out that dating is forbidden. I see two artists in other circles falling in love, and they are often much envious, but the idol circle is different." Aoi Natsuki said.

"Well... after all, this is the industry." Hetty didn't want to reveal too much, so she smiled awkwardly.

"Many rules and little money, this is almost the status quo of the current idol circle." Sakurajima Xing said calmly after taking a sip of tea.

"Then Heidi, why did you still become an idol?" Long Ying asked.

Regarding this point, Natsuki Aoi knew it was because of her father, but she had never heard Hedi seriously, and almost always learned it from Niya.

Hetty stopped picking up vegetables, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "At first it was because of some force majeure factors, but later it was actually because of a senior who told me before graduation that idols give others hope and dreams Yes, it may be impossible to avoid some dark sides behind, but most of them are bright, and you must be perfect in front of the audience, and I have always insisted on this, trying my best to do my job as an idol."

"Oh, then you are really focused. With your attitude, when the idol retires in the future, I believe he will be able to do well in other industries." Long Ying is a person who appreciates this kind of hard work in her heart.
