"What nonsense are you talking about, idiot..."
Nakano Mayu looked at his younger sister who had her little face raised in front of him, and said without changing his expression: "It was just something that got into Riho's eye just now, I just helped her blow it..."
"Idiot Nini, are you still a child Nanako? Do you need to hold someone's waist while blowing your eyes?"
"No way, boys are like this, sometimes they can't control their hands..."
He curled his lips, turned around and walked towards the living room: "I just went out for a while, where is Mizuki?"
"She seems to have gone out too. She just came back and is now in the living room..."
"Didn't you go shopping for groceries? Why are you back so soon?"
"Sister Risui bought a lot of vegetables. She just went to the kitchen to put them away... Then she met Nini, you are such a wolf..."
"Stupid sister, what are you talking about..."
Nakano Mayu stretched out his hand to grab his sister's ear again, but the girl jumped back and nimbly dodged it.
"Hurry up and cook, Shirou Nini... Mizuki and I are playing games in the living room. If you need help, just call me..."
The girl put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and said playfully.
Then he walked straight to the living room.
He looked in the direction of the girl's room. It was a little dangerous to find the fat man who was lighting the fire.
Nanako is in the living room. If he goes to her room, no matter how soft his voice is, he may be discovered...
It's better to wait for another chance, or wait until she takes a shower at night to go in and look for her...
After he determined the policy of the 'Fat Ci Recycling Campaign', he also returned to the kitchen and looked at the dishes Riho-chan had brought.
This guy's family is worthy of running an izakaya. All the dishes and meat he bought are extremely fresh. There are also some green vegetables that are more expensive than meat in Neon, with fresh water drops on them...
The price on the original packaging bag was also carefully torn off...
Nakano Mayu felt warm in his heart.
With Riho-chan's personality and appearance, as a wife, she should be the type that all men dream of, right?
You should have kept Riho-chan just now...
They brought so many dishes here, how can I not even eat a bite...
And if you stay here, you can help yourself a little bit...
He was slowly preparing the dishes in the kitchen, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
...
The breeze blowing on my face along the path brings with it the moisture of the sea water, which is refreshing and pleasant.
Riho Hachiyanagi left the Nakano house as if she was running away, her hot cheeks making it almost impossible for her to see the road ahead.
Fortunately, the Nakano family's generation has very little traffic, so there is no need to worry about getting into trouble.
"call..."
She took a deep breath to suppress the restlessness in her heart.
If he hadn't been at the entrance just now, what would that pervert Zhenyou have done to him?
possible...
Such things, and such gestures...
All will appear...
Some plots from some comic books emerged in her mind, in which the emotional protagonists and heroines met on a clear and windy night...
"Dudududu..."
But at this moment, her thoughts were interrupted by the rapid vibration of her cell phone in the pocket of her school skirt.
She looked at the caller ID and connected directly:
"Hey, Akiho?"
"Sister, where are you now?"
"I...I'm on my way home..."
"Okay, eldest sister, please come back early today. Mom is not feeling well again. We have to prepare all the ingredients for tonight..."
"Hmm? How is mom now?"
She frowned slightly when she heard this, and asked with some worry.
"Mom said she'll be fine after taking a rest, and she can still operate normally at night..."
"oh..."
"And there is something else I need to discuss with you. Let's wait until you come back, eldest sister, to have an interview..."
The dialogue between the two sisters is concise and direct, not at all like the dialogue between young girls of this age.
"good..."
Hachiyanagi Riho hung up the phone. The shy emotions he had just felt had subsided a lot after the phone call.
Although Mingsui didn't say anything specific, judging from her tone, it wasn't good news.
She rubbed her temples with a headache.
The Nakano family is not far from the Hachiyanagi family. If a certain maid comes to drive, it can be reached in as few as ten minutes.
Riho Hachiyanagi took the bus all the way back home...
At this time, the sign outside the store for customers has not yet been hung up, and the door of the izakaya is still closed.
They usually don't open until around dinner time in the evening. The main customer group of the izakaya is all kinds of social animals who want to have a drink after get off work.
There are basically no people during the day, so daytime is usually used to prepare various ingredients...
She quickly pushed open the small door downstairs, and as soon as she walked in, she saw her second sister Ai Sui, wearing a white headscarf and the store's uniform, cleaning with a mop...
"Sister, good afternoon..."
Seeing her coming back, Aisu also stopped holding the mop and gave her a wink sign, and smiled sweetly.
"Idiot, didn't I tell you that you have to wring out the mop before mopping it? The ground is full of water, and tables, chairs and floors can easily get moldy!"
She stepped forward and gently pinched her second sister's tender little face.
Although this little guy is usually naughty and mischievous, he is not lazy when it comes to doing things. He just has no experience in many things, so it is inevitable that he will make some mistakes when doing them.
"But... Aiho is not strong enough to wring her out..."
The little Loli raised her cheek in the direction of her pinch and muttered.
"Just exercise if it's not enough. You can't even wring a mop after training in the kendo club every day!"
"Um...Sister, you devil..."
Hachiyanagi Riho smiled, ignored her sister's complaints, and walked upstairs with her schoolbag.
After going back to his room to put away his schoolbag, he immediately changed into the store uniform and tied his hair into a bun with a white scarf to avoid hair falling out when ordering and passing food around.
Then she came to the door of her mother's room with a worried face.
"Knock knock knock..."
"Mom, are you asleep?"
"Riho? Come in directly..."
When Riho Hachiyanagi heard her mother's slightly weak voice in the room, she also patted her cheek, removing the worried look on her face and replacing it with a normal smile.
"Wow..."
He directly pushed open the old wooden door and looked up.
I saw my mother, who was always smiling, sometimes gentle and considerate, sometimes confused, half sitting on the bed.
Although there are no traces of time on the fair and soft face, it looks a little pale at this time...
She probably knew that since her father passed away, in order to make money to support the three sisters' education and maintain their quality of life in Tokyo, her mother maintained an izakaya by herself and often worked late into the night.
Then I got up without sleeping long and continued preparing the ingredients and business for the night.
In addition, restaurants such as izakayas are open all year round except for a two-day break during the Chinese New Year, and there are no holidays.
It would be better to say that other people’s holidays are the busiest time in the store.
In addition, my mother was reluctant to hire more waiters in the beginning. In addition to being busy in the kitchen, she would also be responsible for cleaning the store, purchasing and preparing ingredients, etc., all by herself...
In the past, the three of them were not allowed to interfere at all, saying that they wanted to give them a perfect childhood...
He waited until he grew up and was able to convince his mother that he let the three of them start helping...
With the help of the three sisters these years, although it is not as tiring as before.
But the hard work in the early years often caused various problems in my mother's body...
"What's wrong? What are Riho-chan thinking?"
Riho Hachiyanagi came to her senses when she heard her mother's question.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
She grabbed her mother's palm outside the sheet and kneaded it gently.
She has liked taking a bath with her mother since she was a child, so she also knows that her mother's body is perfect from top to bottom, except for the thick calluses on her hands due to years of hard work.
This is also proof of mother's love for the three sisters...
Every time she rubbed the calluses on her mother's hands, she felt heavy in her heart.
Sometimes when she feels tired from working part-time or helping out at home, she will think of the calluses on her mother's hands, and she will be full of motivation in an instant.
"Actually, there's nothing uncomfortable at all. It's just Akiho-chan making a fuss..." Mrs. Yayanagi stuck out her tongue and said in a playful tone.
After saying that, he looked past her cautiously towards the door, as if he was worried about being overheard by Mingsui.
"Is mom talking like that again?!"
But it happened that at this time, Murphy's law took effect on Hachiyanagi Kaori.
A slightly childish but unusually calm voice sounded at the door.
Also wearing a small version of the izakaya uniform and a white headscarf, Hachiyanagi Akiho appeared outside the door with a calm expression.
"Sister, are you back?"
"Well, Mingsui, what's wrong with mom?"
Seeing her third sister's steady appearance, she felt a little relieved.
She didn't know why, but she always had the feeling that Mingsui was the head of the Hachiyanagi family.
Especially in the past two years, after Mingsui entered middle school, this feeling became more and more obvious.
In daily life, I always remain calm and calm, as if I am confident about everything, which always gives me the same sense of reliability as when I was a child facing my father.
"Mom suddenly fainted when she and I were washing vegetables..." Third sister put the pills and hot water in her hand on the bedside table and looked at her and said.
"faint?!"
Riho Hachiyanagi frowned and looked at her mother.
"No, I just explained to Mingsui that it was because there were water stains on the kitchen floor and it was slippery..."
"Mom!" Akiho shouted softly, and Hachiyanagi Kaori on the bed lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Migraine is a disease that cannot be cured and can only be relieved. If it is severe, it may even lead to a ruptured aneurysm and death. So you can't stay up late anymore. Leave all the finishing work at night to us. After twelve o'clock
go to sleep!"
"But...but..." Kaori Hachiyanagi looked at her aggressive little daughter holding pills and hot water, and seemed to want to refute.
"Listen to Mingsui, mom..."
Seeing this, Riho Hachiyanagi interrupted with a headache.
"I will stop all other part-time jobs in the future and just come to help with my family affairs. I don't need to hire any more part-time jobs in the store..."
She thought for a while and said.
Although she basically only works part-time outside when the store is not busy.
But for my mother’s current body, she still needs more rest.
If she doesn't come back to help and pays people to do these things, my mother will definitely do it all herself because she feels sorry for the money.
"Me too, I will stop my after-school club activities and go home to help out... I should have enough time..."
Amano Academy ends school at three o'clock.
They go home from school to prepare ingredients and clean, and they open at six or seven o'clock, which is completely in time.
"Well..."
"I'm sorry, mom's health is not up to par, so you have to sacrifice your time..."
Hachiyanagi Kaori, who was half sitting on the bed, had an apologetic look on her face. She held her eldest daughter's hand and rubbed it gently.
"Don't say such things, mom..."
Riho Hachiyanagi pursed her lips, stood up and said, "Have a good rest, I will need you to take care of me tonight..."
"Um..."
She watched her mother finish the pills, lie down and take a nap, and then walked out of her mother's room with Mingsui.
The two of them walked side by side towards the kitchen downstairs. Mingsui should have been preparing ingredients with her mother just now, and she was wearing a jet black apron.
"Mingsui was almost as tall as me before I knew it..."
She looked at the third sister beside her, and felt that the third sister who was only as tall as her chest not long ago was now only about half a head taller than her before she knew it.
"No way, there is still a big gap between me and my eldest sister..."
Hachiyanagi Akiho turned around and said.
But due to height issues, the direction of his gaze was right at my sister’s panda, and it seemed as if he was pointing something else.
"Um...Mingsui, you just said you have something to discuss with me?"
The two of them walked down the stairs together.
Hachiyanagi Aiho greeted Aiho who was still cleaning hard in the hall: "Second sister, come here too, we just want to talk together..."
"What's wrong?"
Ai Sui put down the mop in her hand, which was almost as tall as her, and walked to her sister with some confusion.
But judging from her height, body shape and demeanor, I believe anyone would think that she is the younger sister...
"Did you see the movement across the street?" Hachiyanagi Akiho waved to the two sisters and walked out of the door.
Then he pointed to a shop that was being renovated diagonally across the street, about thirty meters away, and said: "I just went to inquire about that shop. It is the famous Izakaya chain Fire, which opened over there from Kyoto...
.”
"What? You drove so close? Do you want to steal business?!"
When Yasanagi Aiho heard her sister's words, her cheeks puffed up slightly.
Although she didn't quite understand many things, she could still understand what it meant to open an izakaya opposite an izakaya. She immediately rolled up the sleeves of her uniform angrily, as if she wanted to do something.
"Idiot, what do you want to do?"
Riho Hachiyanagi held down the second sister's little head.
"Of course I went over to give them a good look and let them know that it is wrong to do this kind of thing..."
Ai Sui said sternly.
"Haha..." Seeing the silly look on her second sister's part, she laughed angrily: "Do you still want to make trouble in someone else's store? Break up the store?"
"That's not the case either..."
"Okay, second sister, stop making trouble. I have compiled some information about this chain store and sent it to your line. You can take a look first..."
Mingsui took her two sisters back to the store, found a table and sat down, and said calmly, looking like a general...
"It's over..." Ai Sui read the fastest. After reading it, her face darkened and she said in a mournful tone: "Our family will definitely be robbed of all their business..."
