Chapter 13: Cherry Blossoms

Geng Chaozhong's personality charm is really extraordinary, knocking on the door several times in a row, as soon as the other party saw Geng Chaozhong's face, he closed the door mercilessly, and did not give him a chance to speak at all, which made Fang Zhitong next to him laugh. In fact, Geng Chaozhong is just bragging, hoping that the RB people here can give the Chinese a good face and look at it as a fantasy, but people are poor and short-sighted, just rent a house for a few days, Geng Chaozhong has not yet been angry about this.

At this time, the Chinese civilians were afraid of the RB people, but the RB civilians who emigrated were also afraid of the Chinese, after all, these RB civilians also knew that encroaching on other people's territory would not get a good face, and they also tried to avoid dealing with the Chinese.

knocked on six or seven houses in a row, Geng Chaozhong was "politely refused", Geng Chaozhong was also a little puzzled, they were all the same skin color, how did the other party know that he was not from RB, and later when he saw the two RBs on the street meet, he realized that RB people all bow 90 degrees when they meet, and they shake hands stupidly, no wonder they are seen through at a glance.

This time, Geng Chaozhong learned to be obedient, and once again knocked on a two-story wooden building with a "rental" sign.

The door was opened by an old lady RB in her 60s wearing a kimono and a hairpin, Geng Chaozhong immediately made a 90-degree bow and shouted: "Hi! ”

The old lady RB was obviously taken aback, and quickly bent down to return the salute, and began to burst the Japanese with a grunt in her mouth, poor Geng Chaozhong couldn't understand a word, she could only keep nodding "hi" non-stop, when Geng Chaozhong was the eighteenth consecutive "hi", the old lady finally stopped talking, began to blink her wrinkled little eyes, looked at Geng Chaozhong suspiciously, and asked in Chinese: "You drop, are you Chinese?" ”

"Yes, old lady, you are ho! Sayonara! Geng Chaozhong began to babble nonsense.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, showing a hint of a smile, it seemed that she thought Geng Chaozhong's appearance was very interesting, so she didn't pick people up, but opened the door and let Geng Chaozhong in.

"Is it okay to be real? You are such a kind old lady, there are not many good people like you in the RB people. As soon as the words came out, Geng Chaozhong realized that there was a problem with his words, but the old lady was not angry, but bowed to Geng Chaozhong again and again:

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, in our Hokkaido, encroaching on other people's fields is not welcome, I just came to China to find my son, there is no other purpose."

"What's wrong with your child?" Geng Chaozhong was a little curious.

"My child is missing, I only know that he came to Qingdao ten years ago, but I have never been able to find him anywhere. If I can't find him again within a year, I'll have to go back to my hometown in Hokkaido and dig a pit and bury myself. The old lady's calm expression revealed a kind of despair after resigned to her fate.

"How did you go missing? Maybe he's already back home, right? Maybe you've missed each other. Geng Chaozhong comforted the poor old lady, although he had no sympathy for his son, he could even be sure that ten years ago the island city was still under Japanese occupation, and his son would definitely not be here for a good purpose. Therefore, if he dies, it is really too happy, Geng Chaozhong has no sympathy, and even wants to laugh a little.

"No, he wrote me a letter before he disappeared, saying that he had an important mission to accomplish, but he didn't tell me what kind of mission, and then I couldn't find him again......" The old lady began to ramble about his son, not caring that Geng Chaozhong was a stranger or even a Chinese.

It seemed that this poor old lady hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, and Geng Chaozhong even felt that something was wrong with her mental condition. Before she knew it, the old lady had been talking for about ten minutes, and she said that her son's name was Date Nosuke, and he was a rare big man among the RB people, about as tall as Geng Chaozhong, and as handsome as Geng Chaozhong, he was very obedient since he was a child, and he studied very hard.

Geng Chaozhong listened quietly, he knew that it looked silly to listen to an RB old lady chattering like this, but he didn't know why, Geng Chaozhong couldn't bear to interrupt her speech, perhaps, the old lady reminded him of his mother who could no longer see him, maybe in the distant future, there is also an old Chinese man who will not hesitate to spend ten or eight years or even his own life to find his son.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the old lady stopped talking, she looked very sorry, and apologized for her rude behavior like Geng Chaozhong bowing again and again.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me, maybe it's because I won't live long, you're a good person, you're the first person to listen to me patiently for so long, they don't want to listen to me for even 5 minutes. They always tell me: your son is dead, you better go back to China and spend the rest of your life quietly! But I know that my son is not dead. He must have been waiting for me somewhere in China, but my body couldn't support me anymore. ”

"You are a respectable mother," Geng Chaozhong sighed, "you remind me of my mother, but I think you still have to respect the arrangement of fate, maybe this is fate!" ”

Geng Chaozhong's words made the old lady stay for a long time, and her eyes looked straight into the distance, which was the direction of her distant hometown. The old lady sang a slow-paced RB folk song "Cherry Blossoms".

さくら (cherry blossoms)

さくら

やよいのそらは

みわたすかぎり

かすみかくもか

においぞいずる

いざや

いざや

みにゆかん

It's a pity, I don't know death, I don't know life. A person's attitude towards death determines his attitude towards survival, and this nation's attitude towards death is too rash, and even thinks that it is a kind of beauty, maybe, but Geng Chaozhong never sees it that way.

After the old lady finished singing, she ran into her bedroom with small steps. Geng Chaozhong began to look at the room, the layout of the room was very simple, so simple that it could be said that there was no decoration in the slightest, it seemed that its owner had never regarded it as a long-term residence.

After a while, the old lady ran out with a bag and handed it to Geng Chaozhong without saying anything.

"Young man, you are right, man's fate cannot be changed, it seems that God does not want me to find my son, and I have no energy to look for it any longer. This is my son's ID and information in RB, and I think I'm going back to RB, otherwise I might really have to bury my bones in a foreign country. I have a request that you help me find my son, and in return I will rent this house to you for a piece of ocean per year. ”

"Huh?!" Geng Chaozhong was stunned, which was completely unexpected by him.
