Chapter 399. The daily life of the Kitagawa family (8,000 words goal achieved!) )
Dinner was prepared by Kitagawa Temple.
Since Kitagawa Rin is back today, Kitagawa Temple has also spent some thought on preparing dinner.
"Sure enough, the temple usually eats like this." Rin Kitagawa muttered to herself, looking sideways at Eri Kitagawa.
Now Eri Kitagawa is watching TV, smirking while watching.
The appearance of that salted egg made Kitagawa Rin a little sad to see.
What's going on?
When she left, Eri Kitagawa was obviously such an obedient, hardworking and capable child.
Every time she cooks, Eri Kitagawa will obviously help.
But now times have completely changed.
Eri Kitagawa only stared at the TV and didn't even glance at Kitagawa Temple.
Even if my brother is very capable, I can't rely on my brother all, right?! What if I get raised as a waster?
Thinking of this, Rin Kitagawa felt that he could also lead by example.
She stood up decisively, rolled up her sleeves, and took off her apron:
"I'm here to help, too."
Yes, Kitagawa Temple has grown up! It's a man with a sense of responsibility who dares to shoulder the Beichuan family.
But—
When it comes to cooking, Rin Kitagawa still has full confidence.
You must know that Kitagawa Temple and Eri Kitagawa grew up eating the food she cooked!
Maybe now her son surpasses her in terms of earning ability, but when it comes to cooking, she will never admit defeat in Kitagawa Rin.
Thinking of this, she took the initiative to lean over.
For Kitagawa Rin's kindness, Kitagawa Temple did not refuse, he glanced at Kitagawa Rin, and said simply:
"I'll leave the noodle section to you, and I'll go see the fish grilled over charcoal."
This time, Kitagawa Temple plans to make charcoal-grilled sea bream noodles, which can be regarded as a luxury.
After all, the price of sea bream in Japan is still very expensive.
As an ingredient for sea bream noodles, Kitagawa Temple also prepares shrimp tails and Japanese clams.
These things are fried into tempura and stir-fried as a side dish for sea bream noodles, and there is a charcoal fire to take care of over there, so it is really a fire in the fire that Rin Kitagawa can come over to help.
He simply ordered two sentences and went to get busy with shrimp tail tempura and fried clams, leaving Rin Kitagawa with an inexplicable face and staring at the dough that had fully woken up.
Rolling noodles?
Hiss...
Rin Kitagawa grabbed his little head melon seeds.
Kitagawa Temple is an order.
But the point is –
She won't.
Rin Kitagawa glanced sideways at the progress of Kitagawa Temple.
I saw Kitagawa Temple stir-frying clams while putting the shrimp tails wrapped in flour into the pot.
The fragrance was permeated, and Beichuan Temple acted quickly and naturally, calming her mother, who boasted of raising each other for more than ten years.
After a while, Kitagawa Temple turned his head as if he was aware of it, and seeing that Kitagawa Rin didn't move the dough at all, he also raised his eyebrows, probably understanding what was happening:
"Can't stretch the dough?"
“... Ahem, I'm sorry. ”
Kitagawa Rin's face turned purple.
Just now she said that she wanted to educate Beichuan Temple in cooking, but she encountered obstacles when she opened the door, how could this not make her feel embarrassed?
"It's okay, I'll teach you, it's easy."
Kitagawa Temple puts down the chopsticks and puts the fried tempura aside and drains the oil.
Wash your hands and dry them with a napkin.
Kitagawa Temple smeared a layer of oil on the palm of his hand, grabbed a handful of flour and sprinkled it on the dough and cutting board, then picked up the two ends of the dough, shook his wrist lightly, and the moment he opened the dough, it overlapped with this, and a set of actions came down smoothly, and the Kitagawa Rin next to him was stunned.
"That's pretty much how it feels." Kitagawa Temple pinched off the excess noodles, sprinkled another handful of flour on the noodles and asked, "Will you know?" ”
Hiss... Did you just do something?
Rin Kitagawa rubbed his eyes.
Her impression was that Kitagawa Temple picked up the dough and put it down, and when she put it down, it was already rolled noodles.
Kitagawa Rin doesn't know what happened to the dough during this period, or how Kitagawa Temple operates.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and after a long while, she said, "I still won't, Temple." ”
"Huh? You still won't? Beichuan Temple couldn't help but shake his hands more.
There was a clear feeling in his eyes, 'I taught you that, but why can't you?'
But no, it won't, Kitagawa Rin can't slap a swollen face and become fat, and insists that he will.
It's just that...
Obviously, I was thinking about showing my hand or two in front of Kitagawa Painting just now.,Why do you feel now... Something isn't quite right?
"Mom, why don't you sit and wait for dinner?" Kitagawa Temple said.
He's very busy right now, and he has to look at the three stoves separately, and he doesn't want to be distracted by superfluous things.
"One more time! One more time I'll be sure! ”
Kitagawa Rin grabbed Kitagawa Temple, who wanted to walk away, and her face turned red.
"......" Kitagawa Temple.
She could clearly see Beichuan Temple sighing imperceptibly, as if expressing helplessness to her, the living treasure mother.
But under Rin's extra serious gaze, Kitagawa Temple still picked up the dough again.
Subsequently—
Under the decisive operation of Kitagawa Temple, the dough inexplicably turned into noodles under the gaze of Kitagawa Rin.
It's as magical as juggling.
"Will it be?" Kitagawa Temple sprinkled a handful of flour and asked.
Kitagawa Rin's eyes were calm, and after a while, she nodded and said:
"Well, almost, I should go back to my seat and wait for dinner."
As she said this, she took off her apron and sat next to Eri Kitagawa under the watchful eye of Kitagawa Temple.
After almost a minute, I heard Rin Kitagawa crying: "Eri, do you make sense!" He's grown up eating my cooking! Now that their wings are stiff, they all begin to despise their mothers! ”
At the same time, the panicked voices of Eri Kitagawa and Mika Nakajima also sounded:
"Huh?! Wait a minute! Rin's mother! Don't cry! You still have flour on you! ”
"Yes, don't cry! Beichuan can do anything, Aunt Beichuan really doesn't care about this, let's just not make trouble for him. ”
There was a lot of noise over there, but the Beichuan Temple here was finally able to prepare things with peace of mind.
He first put the slightly grilled fish bones over the charcoal fire into the soup base, and then added the thick soup treasure, and a pot of gurgling milky white fish soup base was completed.
Put the noodles on the other side into the pot, simply pass the water and put them in the bowl that has been prepared long ago.
The milky white soup is topped with noodles, and the pan-fried clams, grilled sea bream, and fried tempura are placed in a bowl at Kitagawa Temple, topped with green onions.
"It's time to eat." Kitagawa Temple said a simple word, and then brought four bowls of sea bream noodles to the table with a plate.
This extremely good-looking appearance and rich umami flavor instantly attracted the attention of Rin Kitagawa, Eri Kitagawa and Mika Nakajima.
And then—
There was an extremely tacit scene on the dining table of the Beichuan family.
Rin Kitagawa, Eri Kitagawa and Mika Nakajima are eating the sea bream noodles prepared by Kitagawa Temple while complimenting the food made by Kitagawa Temple for how delicious it is.
This neat appearance of the brushes made a bad feeling welling up in the heart of Beichuan Temple.
Eri Kitagawa and Mika Nakajima Salted Fish are okay to say, but how did Rin Kitagawa, who was fine just now, become like this?
“... Never mind. ”
There's nothing to think about either.
Anyway, these people will become like this for no reason.
Kitagawa Temple thought about it and took a sip of soup.
......
After eating and drinking, Kitagawa Rin asked to check the household hygiene, and after not finding the slightest flaw, she said that there must be no cleaning in the bathroom, and after she finished looking at the clean bathroom, she proposed to go to her son and daughter's room-
"You're a lot older, so don't mess around." Kitagawa Temple said expressionlessly.
And then...
The scene that just happened happened again:
"Eri! Do you think it makes sense? Obviously, when I was holding the temple, he was so small and cute, but now why is he crooked like this? ”
"Wait! Rin's mother! Don't cry! I think Brother Si is quite handsome! ”
"Yes, Aunt Beichuan, you don't have to care about this kind of thing, Beichuan has always been like this."
Beichuan Temple shook his head when he heard these words.
As the saying goes, three women in one play, Beichuan Temple can now understand this.
However, understanding is understanding, and the Beichuan Temple that should be said will still say.
He came to the living room, then patted Eri Kitagawa on the shoulder, and kindly motioned for her to sit on the other side.
By the time Kitagawa Temple sat down where Eri Kitagawa had been sitting just now, Kitagawa Rin had recovered.
Facing his mother's gaze, Beichuan Temple knocked on the table, and his voice was steady:
"Actually, I still have something to talk to you about."
There was seriousness in his tone, which made Kitagawa Rin slightly stunned:
"Want to talk about something?"
The things she had to say between her and Beichuan Temple should have been finished, why now it seems that the other party has not finished speaking.
Under Kitagawa Rin's puzzled gaze, Kitagawa Temple slowly spoke:
"This time you come back here, and you don't have to go to Paris again."
Well?
Rin Kitagawa probably knows what Kitagawa Temple is going to say.
She was dumbfounded for a moment before she spoke, "Temple... What do you mean... Do you want me to quit my job as a designer in Paris? ”
"Not bad." Kitagawa Temple affirmed Kitagawa Rin's thoughts: "As you can see, the situation at home is getting better and better, and you don't have to work overseas all the time, just settle down here in Tokyo and enjoy your old age..."
Yes.
This is what Kitagawa Temple expresses.
He can get millions of yen a month, and this kind of monthly income, even in a city like Tokyo, will not make Kitagawa Rin live a sad life.
And this is still the case that Kitagawa Temple did not work seriously.
If you really want to get money, Kitagawa Temple still has an urban supernatural page, a lot of connections in Ibaraki Prefecture, and the Nakajima Foundation in Gunma Prefecture...
If these connections are really to be converted into money, it won't be much of a problem to make Kitagawa Rin live like a salted egg every day.
This is also a very normal way of thinking as a child.
If you have the ability and can afford to bring your parents to live, then of course you don't want your parents to go outside anymore to work hard.
"In other words, will Rin's mother and we be able to live together in the future?!" Eri Kitagawa looked at Kitagawa Temple and then at Kitagawa Rin, with a little surprise in her tone.
"That's the way it goes... If you decide to stay, the current house will definitely not be enough to live in, so you have to find a good place again. Kitagawa Temple nodded.
However, quitting her job was also a very important decision for Kitagawa Rin, and Kitagawa Temple didn't expect her to make a decision tonight.
In short, it all depends on how Kitagawa Rin thinks about it.
Kitagawa Temple looked at Kitagawa Rin.
Under his gaze, Rin Kitagawa also laughed twice, his eyes wandering.
Perhaps, as Kitagawa Temple said, staying in Tokyo to retire is the most appropriate and comfortable way.
After all, Kitagawa Temple and Eri Kitagawa are no longer the age to worry about her, and the family's economic situation has improved, and whether she works overseas or not has no influence at all.
In this case... Staying in Tokyo is really a good choice.
Every day, I call two sentences: 'My son is the best in the world' and 'My son is invincible in the world', and I am comfortable to be a person who doesn't have to work hard... Isn't that good?
This is a very normal thought.
If you can live a good life without trying, then who wants to work hard?
Who wouldn't want to get a good night's sleep without having to go to class in the cold?
Who doesn't want to be able to lie down and be well fed and travel?
But—
"I think... I still can't live that life. Rin Kitagawa told the truth.
She is grateful for her son's kindness.
But it really made her, who was already busy with death, suddenly idle... That's a bit of a bad life.
It seems that Kitagawa Rin has already had an answer to this question, so Kitagawa Temple also asked:
"And what do you think...?"
This time, not only Nakajima Mihana, but even Eri Kitagawa next to him has seen it.
In their sight, Kitagawa Rin barely thought and replied bluntly:
"I want to see the scenery of other countries."
After saying this, Kitagawa Rin felt that this goal was a bit general, so she added a few more sentences: "Actually, I just want to travel around and see more different scenery, different people and things... This is also Kenichi's dream, but the job still has to work, and I will not quit my job in Paris, at most it will reduce the weight of my work. ”
As he spoke, Rin Kitagawa showed a hearty smile:
"You see, I can save up money for traveling around while I work, and when I almost want to come back, I can go back to Tokyo and enjoy my old age, which is also very good."
She was talking over there, but Beichuan Temple couldn't help but think.
Just now Rin Kitagawa mentioned 'Kenichi'.
This should refer to his father, Kenichi Kitagawa.
Kitagawa Temple didn't know that Kitagawa Kenichi still had such a dream of traveling the world, after all, he was not the original owner.
But since that's what Rin Kitagawa thinks.
As a son, Beichuan Temple can only support each other.
