On the way to Ishikariya, a hot spring guesthouse run by his mother's family, Lin Shuichi gradually learned something about the relationship between his mother and the Ishikari family through a conversation with Ishikari Youjin.

……

"Eh, you're already a father of two, and you really don't see it?"

When Reina learned that Ishikari Youjin, who was a year younger than Lin Xiu, actually had two daughters, she couldn't help but feel very surprised.

"Hey, after graduating from high school, I got married to a female classmate in my class. Now the oldest child is almost five years old!"

"Well done, Mr. Ishikari-chan, Ernie-chan is so much worse than you that I still have to prepare breakfast and dinner for him every day, by the way, Mr. Ishikari, what are you doing now?"

Reina inquired curiously about Ishikari Right.

"I'm now working in my wife's sake workshop, my wife's family has been in the sake brewing business for generations, because there is only one daughter in the family, so after I got married, I started to study in the sake brewery, although her family's sake is not very famous, but the taste is still quite good!"

"Oh...... I see!"

Reina could tell that if she hadn't guessed wrong, Ishikari should have been a son-in-law for his wife's family. This kind of thing is actually not a glorious thing, and Reina, who feels that she has asked too much, can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

……

After leaving Hakodate Airport, it took about an hour to get to a road halfway up the mountain, where the snow had already been cleared...... However, there are still traces of snow on the mountains and buildings from time to time. The buildings scattered on both sides of the street are basically shops, and you can see that although this place is not large, it should be a relatively prosperous place on weekdays.

"Our hotel is over there!"

Ishikari said as he parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road, and then he jumped out of the car to open the door for Lin Shuichi and Reina.

Lin Xiuyi glanced at Ling Nai with some restraint, and hesitantly stepped out of the car. When he stood on his feet in front of a guesthouse called Ishikariya, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Ernie sauce!

Just when Lin Xiuyi looked at Ishikari with some hesitation, a young man who looked a little similar to Ishikari suddenly ran out of the hotel, and then greeted him warmly:

"It's going well, right...... There was sake that my father-in-law asked me to send in the car, and they were all Daiginjo that had been stored for several years, so Mr. Hayashi could also try the craftsmanship of our sake brewery. ”

"Ah...... In fact...... I don't really understand wine or anything!"

Lin Xiuyi smiled a little awkwardly, and then asked the young man who ran out with a little restraint:

"Excuse me...... This is your brother!"

"Ah...... I'm really sorry I forgot to introduce you, this is my younger brother Ishikari Sajin! This is Mr. Hayashi who came from Tokyo to visit his mother, and this is Mr. Hayashi's sister Reina!"

"Please take care of us when we meet for the first time!"

……

After Lin Xiuyi and Reina met the second son of the Ishikari family, they were immediately greeted by the two brothers enthusiastically towards the house. Ling Nai cautiously followed behind Lin Xiuyi, and couldn't help but feel a little scared about the fact that she was about to see Lin Xiuyi's mother.

"Mom, I've got it for you!"

As soon as he entered the door, the eldest son couldn't wait to report to the house.

"Got it, let's take the guests to rest first! I'll be out in a moment!"

A somewhat cold voice came from the back room, although it had been a long time since they had met, Lin Xiuyi could still hear it, this should be his mother's voice. Listening to the tone, the mother didn't seem to be very happy about her arrival!

"Husband, welcome back!

Without waiting for Lin Xiuyi to ponder his mother's attitude, a girl who looked quite handsome walked out of the back room wearing home clothes, and then hurriedly took the sake taken from the car from Youjin's hand. Immediately afterwards, another woman with a slightly bulging lower abdomen also slowly walked out.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Lin who my mother often misses, this is Mr. Lin's sister Reina! Mr. Lin, this is my wife Kumiko, and the other is Zuo Jin's fiancée Mie!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Zuo Jin, it looks like you're going to be a dad soon!"

"There's ......!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's greeting, the young Zuo Jin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, with an embarrassed smile on his face. Seeing his reaction, Lin Xiuyi and Youjin both laughed in unison. At this moment, Zuo Jin and his fiancée Meijiang are even more embarrassed.

"Whoa!"

Just as everyone was chatting happily, there was a sudden sound of the sliding door being opened in the room, and then a middle-aged woman wearing a sleeve slowly walked out of the room.

"What are you doing here...... Why don't you hurry up and entertain the guests?"

"Uh...... Mother!"

"You're here, let's take a rest first, we'll have dinner later! I'll go to the kitchen to take a look first, right near, you can talk to the guests for a while!"

Lin Xiuyi was still hesitating about how to greet his mother, but as soon as he screamed, his mother really changed the topic coldly. This made Lin Xiuyi feel that the atmosphere was a little depressing!

"Don't worry, Mother has been talking about you all the time, maybe because you haven't met each other and you're a little shy!

You may have seen Lin Xiuyi's somewhat embarrassed expression, so he hurriedly comforted him. Immediately after, Zuo Jin beckoned everyone to come to the living room and sit down.

Kumiko took Mie, who was pregnant, to the kitchen to make tea for the guests, while Lin Xiuyi looked at the furnishings in the house curiously, wanting to get a glimpse of the life of her mother!

"Excuse me...... Your father ......"

Lin Xiuyi asked Ishikari with some embarrassment.

"I died in a car accident a few years ago! Now it's just my brother and my mother!"

"Oh...... I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay, by the way, I don't know what you do in Tokyo?"

"I'm just a little civil servant!"

……

"Tea is here, please have some snacks first, we're going to have dinner in a minute!"

While Lin Shuichi and the Ishikari brothers were chatting, Kumiko and Mie walked in together with tea and snacks.

"By the way, Kumiko, what about Mother?"

"Mother is still busy in the kitchen! Mie and I were going to help, but Mother asked us to bring tea and snacks first!"
