"Her name is Tomoko Miura, and she's been working with me for almost a year." Matsumoto Ichiro glanced at Ishikawa Nozuka's eyes, and a playful smile involuntarily appeared on his face, but soon, he returned to a serious state and solemnly introduced:

"Tomoeko lived in Kyoto from birth until she graduated from university. Her parents, like you, are both Tahara people from Aichi, so her accent is similar to yours due to the influence of her parents. ”

"In this way, this Miura Tomoeko and I are still fellow villagers. I really didn't expect that in this foreign land, I actually met my fellow countrymen, which is definitely a gratifying and congratulatory thing! ”

Ishikawa Nozuka sighed heartily, and then squinted a pair of glittering eyes, grinned and said, "When the banquet is over, I must talk to her about our fellow countrymen." ”

"Since you have such intentions, then Yueko must be asking for it." Matsumoto Ichiro nodded repeatedly, and at the same time got closer to Ishikawa Nozuka, he smiled and lowered his voice and said:

"They often describe the great blessings of life in this way, that is, 'a long drought and a sweet rain, a foreign country meets the old know; The cave room spends candle night, when the gold list is inscribed. ’

As far as today is concerned, you have at least two fortunate fortunes. After seeing her for a while, I arranged for her to immediately put down all the work she was doing, hurry up and go to the shower and change clothes, and carefully prepare for the ......"

"Then please Mr. Matsumoto." Ishikawa Nozuka and Matsumoto Ichiro looked at each other and smiled, then he turned his face again, glanced at Minami Sawada who was following behind him, and then specially whispered to Matsumoto Ichiro: "Remember to tell Miss Tomoeko that she doesn't have to wear national costumes anymore." ”

"No problem." Matsumoto Ichiro smiled tacitly, nodded lightly and said, "Tomoeko is in very good shape, and after wearing uniform and work clothes, it can be said that she stands out from the crowd among the staff here. What do you think of this, so that she can dress like Miss Minami now, in a short suit, black stockings and high heels? ”

"You and I deserve to be old confidants for many years." Ishikawa Nozuka smiled and nodded, and said with great satisfaction, "Now it seems that among all the people I know, I think you know me best." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Ishikawa, for your compliments and recognition." Matsumoto Ichiro smiled politely, put the matter aside, and introduced the delicacies from the East to Ishikawa Nozuka as he walked......

……

Matsumoto Sukekoma, who was directing several waitresses to arrange the banquet in the banquet hall, heard the footsteps outside the banquet hall, and hurriedly gave his son Matsumoto Hiroo a look.

"Hello, Mr. Ishikawa, it is a great honor for you to be here despite the long distance and the fatigue of the journey!"

Matsumoto Sukekuma bowed deeply to Ishikawa Nozuka and said respectfully and politely, "Since I have been directing them to set up the banquet here, and I have prepared several of your favorite drinks for you. Therefore, I did not go to the VIP room to greet you in time, and I hope you can forgive me! ”

"Dr. Jiexiong, you don't have to be so polite." Ishikawa Nozuka stopped and looked at Matsumoto Sukekuma carefully, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, although you haven't changed much in appearance, but compared to the original, your temperament has indeed become more mature and stable." ”

"Mr. Ishikawa has won the prize." Matsumoto straightened up, "You don't have to be so polite to me, just call me by my name as before." ”

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here anyway." Ishikawa Nozuka nodded slightly, and then his gaze fell on Matsumoto Hiroo who was behind Matsumoto's introduction, "Who is this young man?" ”

"He's the bear's son." Matsumoto Ichiro hurriedly introduced him, and at the same time called Matsumoto Hiroo over and said, "Hiroo, come and meet Venerable Mr. Ishikawa." ”

"Hello Mr. Ishikawa!" Hiroo Matsumoto also bowed deeply and greeted politely.

"Hello, hello!" Ishikawa Nozuka looked at Matsumoto's face, "It's indeed very similar to the sukekuma when he was young. I remember you telling me more than once that Jie Xiong-kun has been locked up in the laboratory all these years and devoted himself to academic research.

Unexpectedly, his child has now grown into a heroic teenager. It seems that your daughter-in-law must also be an outstanding heroine among women, otherwise, it would be impossible for Jiexiong to fall in love with her, let alone have children with her. Mr. Matsumoto, your family has done an excellent job of keeping secrets......"

"Hiroo was born to Jiexiong and one of his college classmates." Matsumoto Ichiro smiled bitterly and said, "Not long after the child was born, my daughter-in-law who didn't pass through the door passed away due to illness......"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too reckless." Ishikawa Nozuka hurriedly apologized, "Jiexiong-kun, Hongfu-kun, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

"It's okay, Mr. Ishikawa." Hiroo Matsumoto raised his head, shook his head with a faint smile, "We're all used to it. ”

Later, Matsumoto Ichiro also explained, "At that time, Jiexiong and I were very busy with work, and my deceased wife was not in good health, so we fostered our children with a friend who has a lot of experience in childcare.

After Ryoko got married, she repeatedly offered to take the child over to live with us, but due to some factors such as the child's studies, the child did not come back until two years ago.

Since I have always felt that this is a trivial matter, I do not think it is necessary to mention it to you too much......"

"Father, Mr. Ishikawa, let's not talk about this anymore." Matsumoto Sukekuma stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, "The banquet has been prepared, and the time is not early, so please take a seat." ”

"Okay, please!" Ishikawa Nozuka was the first to enter the banquet hall, and as soon as he entered the door, his eyes fell on the bumpy and graceful figure of the man named Tomoeko Miura.

"Alright, I don't need you a few anymore." Matsumoto Sukekuma instructed Tomoko Miura and the waitresses, "All stand down!" ”

"Yes." A few waitresses answered and turned and walked out.

Ishikawa Nozuka stopped Tomoko Miura, smiled attentively, and said, "Miss Tomoko, hard work!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Ishikawa." Miura Yueko smiled and bowed slightly, "It's as it should be, and I'm very honored to be able to serve you." ”

Matsumoto Ichiro interjected on the side, "Tomoko, Mr. Ishikawa heard that your ancestral home is also Tahara, so I want to talk to you about my fellow villagers after the banquet, don't do anything else, hurry up and prepare carefully, don't neglect Mr. Ishikawa." ”

"Yes, I'll get ready right away! Then I'll quit first! Miura Yueko readily agreed, turned around and walked out quickly......
