After lunch the next day, Ujin and Kumiko are going back to the brewery to spend the New Year with Kumiko's parents. Lin Xiuyi and Zuo Jin were about to drive them for a ride, and by the way, they went to a nearby town to buy some rice cakes and bonito needed to make New Year's cakes.

Because she was worried that there were not enough people at home to take care of the pregnant Mie, Reina took the initiative to stay and help Makiko take care of the family's affairs.

Maybe it's because I listened to the doctor's words and took the medicine on time! Meijiang's body gradually recovered a lot, and after everyone cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks for lunch, Meijiang went back to rest. At this moment, Reina was a little embarrassed and asked Makiko:

"Excuse me...... Can you teach me how to make Satsuma fish patties? I want to make Oni-chan when I get back to Tokyo!"

Hearing Reina's request, Makiko naturally wouldn't refuse, and while Mie had already slept, the two came to the kitchen together.

"On weekdays, Reina-chan is in charge of taking care of Shuichi's three meals a day?

As she spoke, she took out some fresh small silver cod from the refrigerator and placed it on the cutting board, then used a kitchen knife to break up the fish on top.

"Hey, Ernie Sauce's work on weekdays is actually quite hard, especially when there is a big case, and occasionally there are days when you can't see anyone!, however, most of the time, Ernie Sauce will still come back to have dinner with me!"

"Oh...... Big cases? Isn't he just a police officer? Is his boss going to hand over those important cases to him?"

Zhenqizi thought that Lin Xiuyi must have often bragged to Reina on weekdays, so naturally he would not take Reina's words seriously.

"Isn't it a lesson in searching to deal with those serious cases? I don't think I've heard of Ernie Chan catching a thief or something!"

Reina said to herself while taking the cod meat handed over by Makiko and cleaning it.

"A lesson in search......ing? That search lesson that is often played on TV? Are you saying that Lin Xiuyi is working in a search class?"

Hearing Reina talk about the search lesson, Makiko couldn't help but feel very shocked, she didn't expect Lin Xiuyi to actually work in the search class. Although Makiko doesn't know much about the work of the police, there are often characters in TV dramas who learn a lesson in searches, and Makiko still knows a little bit about a lesson in searches.

"Hey, didn't Ernie tell you?"

"This stinky boy, I thought he was the kind of little cop who rode his bicycle around every day, how could he go to search for a class? To be honest, I was surprised that he could be a police officer......

"Actually, I don't know!"

After the screwdriver finished processing the fish, the two of them wiped the water off the fish together, and then the shutter put the fish into a meat grinder and ground it into minced meat.

"Next, we're going to make some mashed potatoes, as well as bonito juice and kelp sauce!"

……

After the screwdriver was assigned the job, Rena took the initiative to take on the task of making mashed potatoes. While the two are busy with the things at hand, Makiko inquires about the lives of Lin Shuichi and Reina in Tokyo.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous if you were working in a search class?"

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be dangerous, but once, when my friend was caught by the bad guys, it really scared me......!

"But...... Even if the police are treated very well, Shuichi has only been working for a few years, how can he take out 4 million yen of savings all at once? And he is in love with such a beautiful female star, how did he get his money!"

Hearing these words of Makiko, Reina couldn't help but stop what she was doing with some vigilance, and then looked at her with some confusion.

"Don't think about it, I'm worried about Shuichi, worried that he will go astray...... Alas, Xiuyi this kid, it was really hard when he was young!"

"Excuse me...... Why did you divorce your dad in the first place?"

Ling Nai couldn't help but ask when she heard Makiko talk about Lin Xiu's childhood.

"Divorce...... In fact, it was his father who had to make a helpless move to avoid me and Shuichi being dragged down by some debts!"

"Excuse me...... Did Odou-san owe a lot of money in the first place?"

"Hey, Shuichi's father and I used to run factories in Tokyo for a living. But...... Later, because the business was not good, I could only borrow money from those financial companies, until finally I reached the point where I could not repay it. ”

"In order not to drag me and Shuichi down, my father and I had to escape these debts by divorcing, and Shuichi's father put all the debts on himself, and from then on he broke us off, and we could never contact each other unless we could pay off all the debts, because once we were still in contact, the people in the court would think that we were making a fake divorce to escape the debts. ”

"Alas...... That's why Odou-san came to Aomori!"

……

"Forget it...... It's been a long time since then!"

Makiko wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve, and then diverted the topic with a little choked up. However, after only a moment of silence, Makiko still asked about Lin Xiuyi.

"The reason why Xiuyi's kid chose to take the civil service exam may be because the experience between me and his father made him more inclined to a stable job......! This kid has been living a hard life since he was a child, and now he has so much money all of a sudden, I ...... I'm a little worried about him!"

After hearing Makiko's explanation, Rena understood the reason why she asked just now. Although Ling Nai didn't know exactly where Lin Xiuyi's money came from, she still knew more or less that Lin Xiuyi was rewarded by foreign governments when he was working abroad.

"Please rest assured, Ernie sauce will never do those things that violate his conscience, if I am not mistaken, the money lent to Mei ** should be the reward he received after solving the case before, and ...... Akemi-chan is also a very good partner, so I think if you have time in the future, you might as well stay in Tokyo for a while......"

"Ah...... The kombu juice is about to boil dry!"

"It's all my fault, patronizing and talking!"
