0117 Miss Kanna's New Year's Eve
"Miss! Miss!"
The next day after winter ends, New Year's Eve - New Year's Eve in Japan, the last day of this year, Chu Fang, who played games until late yesterday, had just had breakfast. A man's voice, who was old but still full of energy, rang near the entrance hall. Tianwang Zhou Shenwu had to put down his chopsticks and greet him...
"Mr. Ji, good morning. Is there anything wrong with coming to me so early?"
"Oh...that...this year...because so many things happened, the Tianwangzhou group has also been disbanded. I want to ask if the lady of the New Year's Eve banquet should be held every year?"
The one who entered the old house of Tianwangzhou with the key was Ji Ye, who had already "retired" Tianwangzhou team. He is the old partner of Grandpa Shenwu. He used to be the accounting and logistics manager in Tianwangzhou team. Therefore, his health is much better than Grandpa Shenwu who passed away a few years ago. Perhaps it would not be a problem to live for another twenty years - and he doesn't have to take health care products.
"New Year's Eve Banquet..."
Shen Wu's eyes were a little blurred, as if he had recalled one lively New Year's Eve scene after another in the past. Compared with previous years, this year's old house in Tianwangzhou seemed even more deserted. If Chu Fang and Ningning had not arrived, she would even be the only one left in this huge house.
"For New Year's Eve banquet, I think it's better to hold it as much as possible, after all, this is our tradition.
Although the Tianwangzhou group has been disbanded, I still hope that everyone can still live in harmony and not forget the revolutionary friendship between comrades.
However, it would be a bit inappropriate to hold this banquet here. Please rent a venue in our original hotel.
Maybe there will not be too many people going there. If everyone wants, take their family together. This is no longer a banquet for the community to gather people's hearts. It's just a banquet for neighbors to celebrate New Year's Eve together, but the money is still paid from me - a few days ago, all the mother-in-law and aunts came to help me clean the house thoroughly. Everyone takes good care of me, so this is my thanks to everyone."
When it comes to the matter of the Tianwangzhou Group, Shen Wu, who usually smiles gently, seems to have become the shrewd, capable, majestic, decisive and decisive gangster lady, which makes Master Ji feel deeply moved.
Miss Shenwu, who loves her as her granddaughter, can end her own hands with the loss of revolutionary will and become a Tianwangzhou group that has become an ordinary violent group. It may not be a good thing to become an ordinary girl, but it is a pity that her talent - I wonder if Miss Shenwu will marry and have children like an ordinary girl in the future, then become a housewife, or will she continue to live as a white-collar office worker after marriage?
But it’s okay to lead the underworld. Although the underworld will never disappear as long as there is oppression and exploitation in society, the underworld will not survive in the sun after all. It is completely different from the clubs they formed to protect the rights and interests of the working people in that era. Miss Shenwu has no need to continue to carry the burden left by these old guys.
It was precisely because of this that he delayed until late autumn and came to Miss Shenwu to ask about the New Year’s Eve banquet.
"Miss, don't worry about money. Since this is our own party, there is no reason to let the Tianwangzhou family pay for it. More than a dozen families gather together casually, and the money for renting the venue is enough.
The festival decorations, tableware and wine utensils can be used in the warehouse, but they will be moldy when they are stored. The dishes can be brought from each store, and we just want to rent a spacious place.
When the cherry blossom party is in spring, you can even save money on renting a venue.”
Mr. Ji, who has been working as a logistics manager for his whole life, has been thrifty and family-oriented and has arranged the expenses of the New Year's Eve banquet carefully. He looks like an ordinary poor old man.
However, there is no way to do this. Members of clubs like them cannot expect any pension. Even if some clubs are more "benevolent", they can only pay pensions to middle and senior cadres, and it depends on the business conditions of the club.
Ordinary community members can only rely on the money they saved when they were young. However, when they were young, most of them lived a life of drunkenness and dreams. No matter how much money they made, they had already squandered them, so most of them had miserable old age and could not even live in their old age.
In addition, the traditional method of "raising children to prevent old age" is not suitable for community members, because most community members either do not get married or get married and divorced, and they may not recognize them even if they have children. But even if they get married and have children, the children will grow up. However, due to poor education, most community members' children are still community members and can only struggle and hang out at the bottom of society, and are neither powerless nor willing to support the elderly.
Even if the Tianwangzhou group is not an ordinary gang of gangs, they take more care of revolutionary comrades and the children of the club members are not too "learning bad", but the size of the club and the deteriorating operating conditions determine that they cannot afford to support more and more retirees - after all, even major companies are no longer able to provide lifelong contracts for employees, and small businesses like them are even less able to do so.
When the Tianwangzhou group was disbanded, Miss Shenwu had already fulfilled her kindness and righteousness to them. The third-rate community of Tianwangzhou group also gained respect from the entire Tokyo underworld after its demise.
"Since Master Ji said that, I will no longer insist, but I still have to take out some money and ask Master Ji to prepare a New Year gift for my neighbors.
After all, at this time next year, I may be... not in Tokyo."
"Ah... The lady is finally going to college next spring. She thinks she is planning to apply for a school outside Tokyo?
That's fine, the young lady should go to study with peace of mind, and we are guarding the old house."
Master Ji looked at the still slightly green face of the Heavenly King Zhou Shenwu, and smiled and expressed his support for her decision. In fact, Master Ji was reluctant to let go, but rather than letting Miss Shenwu stay in the old house and guarding them, such as lifeless old guys, Master Ji hoped that she could change the environment and start a new life.
"Then... the New Year's Eve dinner at the eldest lady's house is...
I asked the old woman to make more deliveries. I wonder if your friends will dislike it?"
After talking about the New Year’s Eve banquet, Ji Ye looked down the corridor and looked at the living room. The group of young people from China were going to celebrate the New Year with Miss Shenwu. Then she definitely didn’t plan to join in the fun with her, the old men and women. She just didn’t know whether this young lady, who was not very good at cooking, wanted to go out to buy ready-made dishes such as sushi or how to solve it.
"Thank you, Master Ji, but just ask your mother-in-law to make more of the best mixed cooks.
We plan to do it ourselves. Two of my friends are very good at cooking, so there is no problem.
Moreover, they come from China, and the name of Chinese cuisine is world-renowned."
Although it was easy to make dishes that were more delicious and more refined than the mother-in-law's mixed cooks, Tianwang Zhou Shenwu gently accepted Ji's kindness, and Ji did not say anything more. He just waited at the entrance to Miss Shenwu gave him the money for buying New Year's gifts, and he slowly arranged a New Year's Eve banquet that had nothing to do with Tianwang Zhou's group.
"When Shen Wu was outside just now, he really had the style of a young lady.
But you always wear kimono even at home, which makes me feel very young.”
When the Heavenly King Zhou Shenwu sent away Master Ji and returned to the dining room, Ningning, who had just looked over, held the bowl and chopsticks in the other hand, and teased her with a smile. Ningning not only did not get jealous of Chu Fang and Shenwu's joke, but instead nodded vigorously, with a slight admiration on her face.
Ningning is a guy with a high opinion of herself. She doesn't usually say that her eyes are on her head, but she is too lazy to pick up superficial girls who only know how to talk about celebrities, fashion, brands and gossip. So far, only a few girls who have the same aura as her, such as Tianwang Zhou Shenwu, can catch her eyes on her, and only Shen Wu is the one who can admire her.
After all, girls of this age are basically still flowers in the greenhouse - even Ningning herself is the same. She has experienced major family changes at a young age, and not only survived strongly, but also handled everything in an orderly manner. She only knows this one.
By the way, in fact, Ai Meng, who Ningning had just met just a week ago, also has a story, but not only Ningning didn’t know, but even Chu Fang, who was her "boyfriend", didn’t know, but just regarded her as an ordinary poor girl with both parents.
After everyone finished breakfast talking and laughing, they went to the nearby shopping street to purchase ingredients for dinner. Even if six out of the seven were girls, only Chu Fang was the only man, they still needed a lot of ingredients.
What some young women despise is that as the only man in the team, Chu Fang did not even carry a bag. Behind two girls with a young lady temperament, four female bodyguards wearing large sunglasses and white masks, and covered themselves tightly with hats and coats...or the maids lined up, which was more eye-catching than Chu Fang, who had empty hands.
After the big purchase came back, everyone finished lunch early, then digested for another hour, and then went to take a nap together.
——After all, starting from this evening, they plan to stay up all night and wait until tomorrow morning to watch the first sunrise of the New Year before going back to bed. It is not enough to not nourish their energy in advance. (To be continued...)
