Chapter 199 The Orange Flavored Sea Breeze
After leaving the restaurant, I went to Yintian Street to buy some gifts before going to Mr. Uesugi's orange field.
The old man's gift is a few eels, two bottles of sake, and the old lady is ordinary bitter tea.
This was recommended by Shio Uesugi, country people don't pay much attention to it, just send what you like.
There is no need to tear off the price tag of the product.
In general, this kind of thing must be torn off in Japan. If it cannot be torn off, the price must be blackened with a marker.
Otherwise, the other party will think that you deliberately left the price to him, and ask him to return a higher price next time.
Of course, this is only a situation that occurs when making friends in general, and people who are very close have no such concerns at all.
Matsuyama Station, Matsuyama City.
The five of them carried suitcases and got on the bus back to the town.
Kai Uesugi leaned against the car window, overlooking the towering Matsuyama Castle in the distance, and kept thinking about the scene this morning in his mind.
Hanamaru Hanabi hasn't spoken to herself since then.
She lowered her head and sat beside her.
No sound, no movement.
The rickety bus is a little drowsy even on a bright day.
The white and pure summer dress set off the clearer girlish skin, giving her a kind of beauty beyond the dust.
Although now the lovely girl is silent.
"Little Hanabi." Uesugi Kai tried to talk to her.
After a long silence, Hanamaru Hanabi nodded weakly in response:
"Um"
"Are you okay?"
"It's fine," said Hanamaru Hanabi.
Uesugi Kai felt that she was much more careful when talking to herself than yesterday.
"I'm so over-"
"Kai-kun, don't need to talk about this." Hanamaru Hanabi could only hold her skirt tightly with her white and tender hands, "Hanabi knows that Kai-kun likes Hanabi's... breasts."
The appearance of submissiveness and whispering made the girl look pitiful and insignificant.
"I'm sorry." This strange sense of guilt made Uesugi Kai apologize to her.
Hanamaru Hanabi looked up into his eyes, and after meeting for a long time, she lowered her head and said shyly:
"It's okay, as long as it's Kai-kun, Hanabi won't be angry."
"After all, Hanabi. There is not much to do to help Kai-kun."
"." Uesugi Kai knew that he was bullying her, bullying too much.
These less confident words again.
Hanamaru Hanabi often lowers her status intentionally or unintentionally.
This is very comfortable for others, but it must not be of great benefit to the girl herself.
Because it would make her expect very little of herself.
She only hopes that the other party is good, even though she will be uncomfortable, she will bear it silently.
This is also the reason why she buries many things in her heart.
For her.
As long as the person you like is good, you are already satisfied.
Uesugi Kai didn't want her to look down on herself too much, which was not conducive to curing the inferiority complex she had harbored since she was a child.
"Little Huahuo, you can scold me a few words."
"W-why?" Hanamaru Hanabi asked slowly.
"Scum, pervert, and bastard are fine."
Hanamaru Hanabi just looked at him like this, "Kai-kun, don't say that about yourself."
The bus drove into the woods, and the sun was shy and comfortable under the shade of greenery.
"Aren't you angry that I did such an excessive thing to you?"
Hanamaru Hanabi's two little hands were joined together, and her thumbs were entangled restlessly:
"It's just. It's just stroking your chest. That's all. Hanabi was prepared a long time ago."
"."
When she said this, Uesugi remembered that she had indeed said that, that she could touch her chest.
Hanamaru Hanabi continued to say word by word: "It's just that Hanabi wants Kai-kun to touch it. You have to talk to Hanabi. Hanabi should agree."
"."
There is a high probability that they will agree, but they will not completely agree, because she is too shy to even touch her feet.
She didn't want to, and Uesugi would have to coax him for a long time.
The mountains and forests are quiet and cool, and the afternoon sunlight swaying through the leaf gaps shines on the inside of the bus. The rickety carriage acts like a cradle, making people drowsy.
Kaoru Uesugi asked many times, and found that Hanamaru Hanabi seemed really lifeless.
It's just that when I opened my eyes, I met myself grabbing her breasts, and I shyly didn't want to talk until noon.
Even so, Ah Zhao felt that it was difficult for him to face her, although the sneak attack was exciting.
But after it's over, there will be a deeper sense of guilt.
Uesugi Kai, who lamented that he was too sinful, tried to correct his attitude and said:
"Do you want to rely on me to sleep for a while? It's still an hour's drive to Grandpa."
Although Hanamaru Hanabi was not angry, the more serious Uesugi proposed, the more she felt that he was going to bully her.
Carefully ask:
"Kai-kun, you don't want to touch your chest secretly while Hanabi is asleep, right?"
"No." Uesugi Kai took her immature little hand over.
Hanamaru Hanabi felt the feeling of being held, and was afraid that he would suddenly bully her again.
But after a little hesitation, he still felt relieved, and slowly leaned his head against his arms.
Uesugi Oi embraced her sweet and sweet petite body.
"You should really be angry."
The little head began to become drowsy in the afternoon, and Hanamaru Hanabi, who was hugged in his arms, calmly felt the temperature and breath of his chest.
Quiet words, whispering like a dream: "Huahuo. I don't want to leave brother Zhao."
The dangling bus to the small town ran over the scattered branches on the road, picked up the fallen leaves like tails, and continued to move forward in an orderly manner.
---------
The bus drives into the beautiful coastline.
Satsuma oranges are abundant in Ehime Prefecture.
The rare tangerines are extremely sweet, and some have such thin skins that even babies can eat them.
This is the pride of Mr. Uesugi who has been busy all his life.
Katsuoka Town, Hayami County, Matsuyama City, a small coastal town in the Japanese countryside.
The feature is that it is quiet, clean, and there are so many oranges.
Orange juice, orange wine, orange snacks, orange rice.
It's all about oranges anyway.
Kai Uesugi heard from his grandma that many young people went to Tokyo because they didn’t want to eat oranges anymore.
I guess it was a joke.
After leaving the urban area, the scenery became as flat and wide as the blue sky.
Uesugi Kai squeezed the little hand of the sleeping girl on his lap, and looked out the window.
On the big mountain named Sakura Hill, there are all green orange trees.
Telephone poles, mountains and forests, and terraced orchards halfway up the mountain come into view.
That is the orange garden of Mr. Uesugi, a high-priced orange of 625 yen, which grows here.
Standing on the top and looking towards the inland sea, the blue and shining sea level is inlaid with thick clouds that can't be seen.
The sky and the sea sandwich the clouds, forming the same color of the sea and the sky.
Get off at a seaside station with vending machines.
"Ah, come down and help."
"Auntie, let me do it." Shio Uesugi took the initiative to go up and take out the suitcase from the compartment.
Mrs. Hanamaru, who was wearing flat shoes, got out of the car and looked at the boundless blue sky.
Such a pleasant and leisurely scene made her close her eyes and take a breath of fresh air, revealing a girlish emotion:
"Hmm~~ The air here in Ehime is better."
Mrs. Uesugi, who took off the suitcase, also looked back at the scenery that hadn't changed for many years. Thinking of her first visit to this place, she brushed her hair blown by the sea breeze:
"After all, it relies on the inner sea."
Shio Uesugi stared at the sea level that he had seen from a young age, without saying a word.
Kai Uesugi was the last to get off the car, and Hanamaru Hanabi was still sleeping peacefully in his princess' arms.
"Xiaokai, are you going to wake her up?" Mrs. Hanamaru, whose hair was blown by the sea breeze, turned around and smiled.
"I want her to sleep a little longer."
An Ranxiang's sleeping Hanamaru Hanabi was breathing steadily in her arms.
She was still clutching the skirt of her clothes, occasionally saying something in her sleep, "Don't bully Hanabi."
Mrs. Hanamaru came over, pinched Hanabi's ruddy face like teasing a child, then smiled and teased:
"Aren't you too tired at night? When is Xiao Zhao going to let me hold my grandson?"
"Yeah, June next year."
"Really!?" The mother-in-law looked at him pretending to be surprised, "I'm pregnant now? Really, don't tell us about such a big thing."
Uesugi Kai understood that his mother-in-law heard his joke.
"actually--"
"I know."
The long-haired Mrs. Hanamaru interrupted him, her purple eyes glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi in his arms, and she still kept a girlish smile on her face.
"I know that Hua Huo Jiang is in a bad mood recently, and I have also listened to what my father said.
"It's good for young people to be energetic, but we must also pay attention to how we feel about taking care of her. A fragile girl like Hua Huo Jiang can be easily hurt."
"I understand." Uesugi Kai said, patiently listening to his mother-in-law.
"It's been so many years, I believe you, Xiao Zhao, know how much she likes you. Ever since you fell in love and got engaged, her focus has completely shifted from me and Dad to you.
"Her heart does not revolve around us, but revolves around you. Because of this, she will also become extremely dependent on you and think of you everywhere."
Mrs. Hanamaru caressed the hair on her shoulders and turned around. The azure blue sea was shining brightly in the sun.
"Don't bully her too much because of her resignation, Xiao Zhao."
Looking ahead at Uesugi's wife Shio Uesugi standing on the coast, Hanamaru Mieko spoke slowly to Uesugi Kai who was hugging Hanamaru Hanabi in her mother's voice:
"In this case, you will lose her one day."
---------
"Dudu."
A truck is speeding along the road along the coastline, and the wind is blowing on the face, which is the smell of the ocean and oranges.
Hanamaru Hanabi frowned her beautiful crescent eyebrows, gradually opened her sleepy eyes, trying to adapt to the afternoon sun.
The vastness of the sea level floods into the eye.
"Where is here?"
"Second Uncle's truck." Kai Uesugi said to the girl who was resting on her lap.
"It should be here soon." Hanamaru Hanabi sat up under the support of his arms.
"Does Hua Huo Jiang know me?" A middle-aged woman with a loud voice laughed across the truck.
"Aunt Yunzi."
"Haha, Hua Huo Sauce looks so much better, but it's still so sticky."
Mrs. Hanamaru, who was sitting next to Yoshiko Uesugi, echoed with a smile, "They used to be brother and sister, but now they are husband and wife."
"Anyway, we have been together since we were young, and we have never been separated." Yoshiko Uesugi, who smelled of orange, said in Japanese with a Shikoku accent.
Much like the Kansai dialect, but not quite.
Several people were sitting in the cargo box of the truck.
Shio Uesugi: "Auntie, what's going on with Grandpa?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that Dad has always disapproved of you coming over, but since you're here, he can't say anything." Yunko Uesugi smiled all the time.
"I'm talking about the orchard." Shio Uesugi asked carefully, without the usual laziness on his face.
"Don't worry, don't worry, Xiao Xi, don't you think me and your father are fine?"
"Hmm." Shio Uesugi nodded without asking anything from his aunt.
Uesugi Yoko is also Uesugi Kai's aunt and sister of his father Uesugi Kenichi.
There are three siblings in the Uesugi family.
Kaoru Uesugi's father is the eldest.
Shio Uesugi's father is the second child.
Uesugi Yunko is the youngest sister of the Uesugi family.
However, her behavior does not look like a younger sister to the two brothers of the Uesugi family.
--------
Katsuoka Town is more suitable for a small town than a village.
Coming from Tokyo can be regarded as a tiring journey, and I changed several cars in a row before arriving.
Uesugi’s house is a standard Japanese traditional building, a large wooden bungalow with an elevated lower part.
There is a vestibule, but it was converted by the old man into a warehouse for storing oranges.
Thankfully, the pine courtyard with the pool has been preserved.
In spring, summer, autumn and winter, you can sit on the porch covered by the eaves all year round, enjoy tea quietly and watch fish and flowers.
Minimalist, rustic, quiet, elegant, leisurely and pleasant.
The old lady Uesugi, who is over seventy years old, entertained the people who came back from Tokyo.
The reception, of course, is oranges.
Hanamaru Hanabi likes the oranges from Uesugi's family very much. They are tender and juicy, with a refreshing fragrance.
There is no fiber feeling after one bite, and the mouth is full of sweet orange flesh.
For snackers, the oranges cut by the old lady on her plate quickly disappeared.
After giving their respective meeting gifts, the gray-haired old lady Uesugi was still chatting with her elders about things in Tokyo.
Still wanting to eat the sweet Hanamaru Hanabi, he tugged on Uesugi Kai's sleeve beside him.
"I've never seen you love food so much before?" Uesugi Kai smiled and handed over his plate.
The oranges for my family are the ones with negligibly thin skins.
"I haven't eaten for a long time." Hanamaru Hanabi ate another tangerine and said slowly.
I don't know if it's because of eating too much sweetness, but Xiaohuahuo's voice is much sweeter and softer than at noon.
Mr. Uesugi has not shown up so far. I heard from the old lady that he went to find a dealer in the center of Songshan, and he just left.
"Ah." The old lady Uesugi shouted with a smile, beckoning to him, motioning for him to come over.
The cushions on the tatami in the living room were very soft, and Kai Uesugi sat down in front of the old lady.
Just like any grandma looks at her grandson, she loves her very much.
As the first grandson born to the eldest son, Kai Uesugi has received pocket money from the old lady since he was a child.
Now, she seemed to want to give him something again.
The old lady Uesugi in a light kimono took out a small bag in the style of an omori from her arms, took Uesugi Kai's hand, and placed it on his palm.
"Grandma, what is this?" Kai Uesugi didn't rush to open the Omori bag, but judging from the feel of the hand, it was a stone inside.
"Open it and have a look first."
Mrs. Uesugi likes to drink tea just like his father.
But it would be better to say that Kenichi Uesugi inherited the old lady's tradition of drinking tea.
The old lady Uesugi, who is in her 60s, held up her teacup steadily, took a sip of the bitter tea, and watched her grandson open the protective bag.
