Chapter 220 Rain, and under the eaves.
Dogo Hot Spring Street at night is very bustling and lively.
Even through the glass windows, the warm cheers of the people outside can be heard.
Hanamaru Hanabi and Uesugi Kai had already put on the yukata prepared in the hot spring shop, quietly enjoying the assortment of sushi in front of them.
Kai Uesugi picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of tuna sushi in Hanabi's bowl.
In the past at this time, Hanamaru Hanabi would definitely thank him, but for some reason today she just lowered her face and looked like a shy girl.
Why?Kaoru Uesugi also probably knew a little bit.
The small movements between the two were clearly seen by the two wives sitting across from each other.
Mrs. Hanamaru had a smile in her eyes, and said with a sudden smile, "Xiao Kai, do you understand what love is?"
love?
Kai Uesugi looked away from Hanamaru Hanabi's small face, and turned to look at the smiling face of his mother-in-law. Her slightly shining purple eyes were even brighter than Hanamaru Hanabi's.
As soon as he was about to speak, Mrs. Hanamaru interrupted him with a smile:
"Don't agree yet, answer me after thinking about it."
Uesugi Kai didn't understand the meaning of the sudden question to himself, but from her eyes, he could see that there was something in the mother-in-law's words.
Mrs. Hanamaru was wearing a loose yukata, and her hair was loose after blow-drying, draped over her shoulders.
She picked up a chopstick of fish roe sushi, chewed it in her mouth, and then said slowly to Kai Uesugi:
"Sometimes you don't necessarily understand what the other person is thinking, do you?"
Just finished speaking, after Mrs. Hanamaru laughed twice, she interrupted Sugikai's thoughts on the opposite side, beckoning and said:
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, this store is called Fish Roe House, and it is also very good considering that Ji Zi and I often go shopping and explore the store."
"Didn't mom eat a lot?" Hanamaru Hanabi reminded.
Mrs. Hanamaru, who had a pretty belly, didn't have the reservations of a pregnant woman, so she replied with a smile:
"For some reason, I want to eat more today."
"By the way, Mieko, have you thought about the name of your child?" Mrs. Uesugi interrupted and asked.
"There's more than half a year left, don't be in a hurry."
Mrs. Hanamaru seemed to be smiling happily all the time, she looked very young, her chopsticks kept greeting the sushi on the table, "Aren't you planning to have another one, Noriko?"
Mrs. Uesugi didn't care about her girlfriend's ridicule, and even joked in the mood: "Why, do you want me to have another little cabbage who continues to harm your family?"
"Hahaha," Mrs. Hanamaru covered her face with a smile, "it's not certain who persecuted which, maybe I can win back."
No, mother-in-law, there is no chance.
Uesugi Kai, who gave Xiao Hanahi something to eat, complained silently in his heart.
After eating sushi to fill your stomach, take a walk around the tourist street that revolves around Dogo Onsen.
Drink juice together, eat cheese cakes together, look at each other together, and wipe the dirt from the corners of each other's mouths.
A date between a couple is as simple as that.
In the gift shop, Kaoru Uesugi tied a cartoon chili headband on Hanamaru Hanabi's hair at the temples. The girl with short hair had a soft and tender face that looked even cuter.
Looking at her Yingying gaze towards him, my heart couldn't help beating faster.
When he thought that such a girl would leave him soon, he suddenly felt a little empty.
If she is no longer by my side, what direction is there for me who doesn't want to work hard at all?
"Isn't it good-looking?" Under the bright lights of the gift shop, Hanamaru Hanabi saw him stunned and called out to wake him up.
"No, it's pretty." Uesugi Kai smiled hard at the girl.
"If Kai-kun doesn't look good, you can change it at any time."
"I think it's pretty good."
While Kai Uesugi paid the money to the shopkeeper, he kept recalling Mrs. Hanamaru's words in his heart.
He didn't even notice that Xiao Huahuo was pulling the corner of his clothes.
The outside suddenly became noisy, shouting like a tsunami, followed by the sound of drums shaking the sky.
The people around all looked at the same place at the same time, and the magnificent and shocking gorgeous floats were reflected in their pupils.
Uesugi Kai, who finally came back to his senses, said to the girl who had been quietly looking up at him:
"It seems to be a float, do you want to go out and have a look?"
For his invitation, Hanamaru Hanabi will always answer:
"Um"
The bright lights complement each other, and people in the festival hold round fans and show smiles.
During the heavy and grand parade of floats, the city-style Edo-style streets in the night sky are beautiful and profound.
--------
August 8, weather: rain
Uesugi Kai sat on the porch of the mansion, listening to the light rain, looking alone at the rearranged flowers and plants in the courtyard, feeling cool in his heart.
The enchanting Bianhua flowers were wet by the rain, and the leafless branches kept shaking.
——The flowers do not see the leaves, and the leaves do not see the flowers.
This kind of longing that can never be touched by each other, the flower language is-"sad memories".
"Here." Shio Uesugi, who was dressed in everyday clothes, sat beside Kai Uesugi.
"Sister Xi is looking for me?" Kai Uesugi asked very ordinaryly, looking at the moss on the stone under the hanging legs.
"No." Shio Uesugi said without much energy.
"Is it boring?"
"It's boring."
"Is uncle still playing cards?"
"He is like this," Shio Uesugi unpacked the lollipop, but did not eat it right away, "and he will always be like this."
The rain seemed to be getting heavier, and it was rushing to wash grandma's lucky tree full of green leaves.
"You can ask uncle to try to find another relationship."
Uesugi Uesugi rewrapped the lollipop in the bag he just opened, handed it out and hit him on the head:
"When will Ah Chi come up with such a bad idea?"
Uesugi ignored the action of being knocked on the head, after all, he didn't feel anything, "It's always necessary to change."
"The problem is that it's not that easy to change, and besides his sloppy appearance, no one will think highly of him anymore."
The bright red Bianhua flowers in front of them were even more heavily wet by the rain, and the slender branches seemed to be about to be crushed.
"Sister Xi has been very tired these years, right?" Uesugi Kai understood that her uncle didn't like her cousin very much because of her aunt.
Uesugi Shio's eyes didn't look strange in front of him, and he smiled and said, "Why is Ah Kai still concerned about my sister? Hua Huo-chan is going to go abroad recently, I think you should cherish the recent time and spend more time with her." she."
"What is sister Xi's dream?" Uesugi Kai looked at the raindrops falling on the eaves.
"No."
"No? I think sister Xi looks like a person with a lot of dreams."
"Why do you have such an idea?"
"Sister Xi, you must work hard in kendo. At the sports festival, everyone said that the new minister is very powerful."
"Work hard, is it a dream?"
"Isn't it?" Uesugi Kai said.
"There are many reasons to work hard, and the so-called dream is just one of them." Shio Uesugi stretched out his left hand on the upright long leg, and twisted a lollipop stick with his right hand.
"Sometimes, dreams are not absolute, and there are things in life that are more precious than dreams."
Uesugi Kai suddenly looked back at his cousin, her sapphire blue lazy eyes reflected orange lollipops, as if they were reminiscing about the past.
"Actually, I hate my existence."
Shio Uesugi's calm tone could not hear any emotion, but seemed to be narrating the facts, "It's superfluous, and it won't bring any happiness to the people around me. My mother's stubborn illness has also deepened because of my existence."
"I'm already in poor health, so there's no need to have a baby, right?"
Uesugi Kai listened to the last sentence of his cousin muttering to himself like self-blame, and didn't know what to say.
When she saw her aunt when she was a child, she was already sitting in a wheelchair. Although she was not energetic, she still smiled kindly and gently, and peeled oranges for herself and the ignorant Xiao Huahuo.
At that time, my uncle's family had no money, and my grandfather's orange orchard had just been expanded.
To borrow money for medical treatment, uncle's former friends gradually alienated the family.
Up to now, my uncle still owes money to his father and grandfather.
But he has already lost the motivation to earn it.
My cousin was also raised by my grandfather since she was a child, so she was very concerned about what happened to the old man.
Just when the two of them sat quietly under the eaves, watching the rain silently.
The old lady Uesugi led a guest and walked in.
"It seems that Aifu is not in a good mood." Uncle Sakakihara, who was holding Chai in his arms, smiled cheerfully.
"Wow!" A Chai with a bright coat saw his old acquaintance, and excitedly shook his short tail.
"Why is uncle here?"
"Uncle?" Sakakibara kept smiling wholeheartedly, "Shouldn't it be the master?"
"When did I admit it?" Uesugi Kai said.
"Huh? You forgot?"
Uesugi Kai stared at his smiling face, thinking back a little, it seemed that he had indeed shouted once when he borrowed a wooden knife a few days ago.
Sakakibara stroked A Chai's beautiful hair wholeheartedly, and said with relief: "It seems that I remembered."
The old lady Uesugi bowed to the uncle, "Mr. helped the old grandson 10 days ago. I am very grateful. If you can stay for a meal, the Uesugi family will also show some kindness as a landlord."
"Haha, no problem, no problem," Uncle Sakakibara agreed unceremoniously, "But old lady, you don't need to be polite, you are an elder."
"It's nothing."
The old lady Uesugi just shook her head with a smile, and after a few polite words, she left first to prepare lunch.
Excitedly, A Chai broke free from the uncle's arms, walked on four little hooves, and ran to Uesugi Shio's side to circle her.
"Wang Wang! Wang Wang!"
Uesugi Shio saw the Shiba Inu jumping around beside him all the time, so he simply hugged it, stroking its furry dog's head while eating a lollipop.
A Chai stretched his neck vigorously, allowing himself to be stroked.
This guy is like this in Huahuo's arms.
Uesugi Kai understood that this guy likes to be touched by girls.
Sakakibara sat down beside Uesugi Kai with one heart and one buttocks.
"So, uncle came here today just for lunch?" Uesugi Kai asked.
"Of course not, I'm here for your future!" Uncle Sakakibara said solemnly.
"Okay, it's just for eating."
"How can you say such a thing in front of me! By the way, how do you know?"
Uesugi Kai: "It can be seen that you are poor."
Uncle Sakakibara looked at himself several times in a row, he was quite neat, not sloppy at all.
Curiously asked: "How do you know?"
"Guess."
"."
Be quiet for a few seconds.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense, are you interested in learning my Sakakibara Ichidou style?"
"No."
The air was silent for a few seconds, except for the sound of rain.
"As a teacher, why do you think that you have no desires or desires for a disciple? When a man encounters this kind of opportunity from a peerless master to teach peerless skills, shouldn't he be excited to ask him to accept himself as a disciple?"
"That's the plot of the manga," Kai Uesugi listened to the sound of the drizzle hitting the bluestone, "There is no such thing in reality, I only care about whether you have money, and you will pursue these after you have money."
"That's too unrealistic!!" Uncle Sakakibara shouted righteously.
Uesugi: "So uncle, do you want money?"
"Of course!!" The uncle shouted decisively this time.
"Isn't that enough? Uncle can just eat lunch with peace of mind, and don't need to say anything about accepting me as a disciple."
"After learning my sword skills, my beloved disciple, you can easily win the title of number one in the country in swordsmanship! Isn't Qianqian easy to grab at that time?"
Uncle Sakakibara suddenly looked at Shio Uesugi, who was hugging A Chai, "Of course, if the girl wants to learn, I can teach it too!"
Uesugi Shio did not expect the topic to turn to himself, "Of course I am very happy if I can learn it. Mr. Sakakibara is still very good in the world of kendo."
Hearing the praise, Uncle Sakakibara's inexplicable confidence swelled again: "Hahaha, that's right! That's right! Did you hear that, my disciple."
Uesugi Kai looked expressionlessly at the rain clouds on the dome, "Uncle, forgot that I knocked you out last time?"
"It's 26 strokes."
Speaking of the last time, Uncle Sakakibara's face immediately became serious, "Speaking of what's going on with you, my disciple, whether it's the sword you knocked me out at the end, or the sword skills you beat those gangsters with It does not belong to any school of modern swordsmanship."
"Two days first class?" Uesugi Kai asked tentatively.
"It looks a bit like it, but fundamentally, it's completely different."
Different?
In the words of the uncle, the sword skills bestowed on him by [Legend of Miyamoto Musashi] are not "two days first class"?
Or, the "two-day first-class" handed down in modern times and Miyamoto Musashi's "two-day first-rate" are not the same thing at all.
Over a long period of time, modern swordsmanship has shed its foundation and turned into another new thing.
In other words, the modern swordsmanship school just inherited a name?
After thinking so much, Uesugi felt that it was meaningless to think about this thing any longer. He even felt that he was already unparalleled in the world, so he didn't care if Lao Shizi was orthodox.
It's pointless to dwell on these.
Uesugi Kai replied to Uncle Sakakibara's question just now:
"Maybe this is talent, a power bestowed by God."
"Born?" Uncle Sakakibara seemed very interested and asked quickly.
"That's right!" Kaoru Uesugi said with certainty.
Shio Uesugi interjected, "Aoi used to be a boy who was tired of carrying oranges when he returned to Ehime. He didn't see any talent in kendo, and he never held a wooden sword."
Hearing this, Uncle Sakakibara fixed his eyes on Uesugi Oi: "Did you never practice kendo when you were young?"
Uesugi Kai responded frankly to the fact that "I am very, very, very powerful" to be exposed:
"Ah."
"When did you start practicing kendo?" The uncle asked quickly.
"April." Shio Uesugi, who was petting A Chai, responded for him.
"April five years ago?"
"This year."
"Impossible! Impossible, impossible, impossible."
Uncle Sakakibara shifted his gaze back to Uesugi Kai, shook his head, and said four impossible things in a row.
"Uncle."
Uesugi Kai said indifferently, "When an impossible thing happens in front of your eyes, is it still impossible?"
Without looking at the uncle's face, he stretched out his palm to catch the water droplets falling from the eaves.
"Logic follows reality, but reality doesn't need to follow logic."
