Bright sunlight shone in from the paper door, and the gentle birdsong in the courtyard in the afternoon could be heard.

After waiting in the hall for a while, Sentanda Chengyu saw Airu in a pale white dress.

She smiled diligently, and from head to toe she was heart-warming gentleness and innocence.

"Brother, you're ready to go."

"Well, let's go."

In order to make it easier to carry the baskets, both of them mounted their bicycles.

Because they are all simple women's cars purchased at their own expense, there is nothing worth explaining with great fanfare.

On the contrary, the place where Airu plans to go is quite worth saying.

It's not a market inside the city of Kamiyama City, but a small street in a village not far from Sentanda's house.

The city of Kamiyama is known as the mark of the Edo period, so it is not a matter of simply keeping a few old streets of the Edo period.

It is more because the city of Kamiyama has also preserved many of the cultures of the Edo period.

More specifically, a large part of the population still lived in the same way as in the Edo period. It is more pronounced in rural areas.

Along the smooth cement road in the countryside, the two enjoyed the scenery along the road and rode leisurely.

After all, it's February during the spring holidays?

The warm and soft sunlight, the old houses with tiled roofs on the side, the clear river with the sound of the water and the snow water, the rice in the fields has begun to be harvested, and the fresh greenery is beginning to appear on the distant mountains.

Here and now, as if nothing ugly exists.

And this is the hometown that Chitanda Airu loves deeply.

Parking the car outside the market, Chengyu looked at Airu and asked, "Do you know where to buy it?" If the family had said hello, we wouldn't have been able to go back tonight. ”

Chitanda Airu turned around and met Chengyu's eyes, and those big flexible eyes showed a smile.

Then, she took out a small piece of paper from her pocket, unfolded it, looked at it, and said softly: "Honey, rock candy can go to Zhongzhu's house or Tanimoto's house; Dried ginger should go to the shop of the Yuan family; Loquat and licorice should go to Inoue's house and ask. ”

It's really hard for her to be so clear, Qiantantian Chengyu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Then ask the eldest lady of the Qiantantian family to lead the way." ”

"Then what should we go to first...... Belch? ”

"What's wrong? Where to go? ”

"Well...... who and which one is better to start with......

Actually entangled in such an inexplicable place. Should I say that Airu is a simple personality? Or is she thinking too much?

Seeing her panicked appearance, Qianantitian Chengyu couldn't help but speak: "Which one is the closest?" ”

"The Nakatake family and the Tanimoto family are right next to each other, both to the east of the market. Both families are very good people, but their income and situation are very average. ”

So that's the case, Cheng Yu kind of understands Airu's considerations, whether it's small or big, she is willing to think about giving her neighbors a little help. "Then let's go and have a look, it's okay to buy honey and rock candy at the same time."

"Is that okay? Wouldn't it be a hassle? My brother doesn't like shopping much. ”

"It's the trouble to get tangled. Since these two families are very close, let's take a look at both. ”

Chitanda Airu tilted her head to think about it, but did not accept his suggestion: "But won't this look too sleek." Although they are all neighbors, it is still very bad to bring things from competing other families to the door. ”

"That'...... As long as the two of us are separated for the time being, wouldn't it be better if we went separately? ”

Ai Ru tilted her head, and her beautiful eyes looked directly at her brother.

It seemed to have some objections to say, but it still nodded and said, "I haven't thought about separating from my brother." ”

Not...... Is it a pun?

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has clearly felt Airu's attitude about his high school in the Tokyo area.

Sentanda Seiyu tries to avoid Airu's eyes. "That...... Let's hurry up and go shopping. ”

"Hmm."

Ai Ru had a gentle expression and nodded obediently.

With Airu, who is familiar with the terrain, to guide the way, he soon came to the vicinity of the Nakatake's house and Tanimoto's shop.

However, the brother and sister are obviously too worried, the shop of the Zhongzhu family has been closed, and the Gu Ben family is already the only choice.

As soon as they walked into the store, the two of them saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of the counter, with a square face and a solemn face, and two thick black eyebrows wrinkled together, looking as if they were holding their breath.

Cheng Yu pulled Ai Ru behind him and stepped forward first: "Uncle Tanimoto is good." ”

"Ah, it's the brother and sister of the Chitanda family." Tanimoto stood up, smiling hard.

"When I came to the market with my sister, I happened to see Uncle Tanimoto's shop." Sentanda explained with a smile.

Uncle Tanimoto was a little surprised, and said to the two of them again and again: "Oh, you brothers and sisters are really good. Uncle's things here, take them away if they are useful, but you can't leave empty-handed. ”

"Thank you so much, uncle. We just look at what we need and buy some. If my father knew that we took advantage of Uncle Tanimoto, I would definitely be scolded. Isn't it, Ruu? ”

Airu stepped forward and bowed slightly, thoughtfully repeating it again. But as he was talking, the back door of the store was suddenly slammed open!

"Where's my stuff?"

The young man who came out immediately after him had a tense face and looked extremely angry, like an angry lion.

Uncle Tanimoto's face darkened suddenly, and he didn't speak, just glared at him fiercely, and his eyes seemed to breathe fire.

"I bought it with my own savings, how can you do that." The young man also saw the Chitanda brothers and sisters, and seemed to be trying to suppress their resentment, but they still couldn't help but continue to speak.

Uncle Tanimoto looked even more angry, clenched his fists, and said almost word for word: "What's the point of throwing away the broken things that should have been thrown away a long time ago, and loving those all day long." Look at the brothers and sisters of Chitanda, and then look at you, it's just a waste! ”

Even if it was regarded as a positive example, Chitanda Chengyu's face couldn't help but freeze.

He had vaguely guessed the reason for the conflict between father and son, and his heart seemed to be grabbed by something.

Chitanda Airu glanced at Cheng Yu, who suddenly had no reaction, and stepped forward to interrupt the tense father and son: "Uncle Tanimoto, Brother Tanimoto don't be angry, talk calmly to solve the problem." ”

Uncle Tanimoto took a breath and scolded, "Don't go back soon!" I'm talking to you at night. ”

After seeing the son of the Tanimoto family leave, the two brothers and sisters of Chitanda hurriedly chose the goods and left.

After that, there were the Inoue family and the Yuan family, and along the way, Qianantida Chengyu was a little silent.

It wasn't until he got back to where he parked his bike that Airu tugged at his sleeve.

She carefully observed Cheng Yu's expression and asked, "What's wrong?" I feel that since I met the son of the Tanimoto family, my brother has not been in a very good mood. ”
