After getting off the bus and walking for about 15 minutes, I turned three intersections and arrived at the end of the trip.

Zhang Heng looked at the small shop called Takeda Aquatic Products in front of him and said, "Does your father live here?" ”

"yes, it doesn't smell good inside, you can wait for me outside." The closer he got, the more apprehensive Ameko's face became, but he was still considerate.

"It's all here, let's go in together." Zhang Heng didn't hesitate much, the two walked through the roll-up banners placed outside the store and the discarded old freezer to the aquatic product store, a unique smell of seafood immediately came to the nose, and there were fish, shrimp and shellfish everywhere as far as the eye could see, but the store was empty, only moray eels were scurrying around in the foam box.

"お父さん~お父さん~" Ameko shouted twice, but no one responded.

"Did you really go to the hospital?" The girl muttered, hesitated and walked upstairs, Zhang Heng followed behind her, the wooden staircase had not been repaired for a long time, and there were cracks in many places, and it creaked when stepped on, as if it could break at any time.

Zhang Heng originally thought that the first floor was already stuffed enough, but he didn't expect that the second floor was really nowhere to put his feet, dirty clothes and beer cans were thrown everywhere, as well as pornographic magazines, and a man with a stubble on his face was lying on the floor naked.

"What a fool I am, I believe the same lie over and over again." Ameko said with his hand on his forehead.

"In a sense, this is a good thing, it's better than actually lying in the hospital."

"No, it's terrible, how can there be a man in this world who can cheat even his own daughter."

That being said, Ameko grabbed the man's hands and tried to drag him to the side of the stack.

"I'll do it." Zhang Heng saw that Ameko's movements were a little difficult, and took the initiative to go up to help.

In the process of dragging, something fell out of the man's pants pocket, Ameko picked it up, and found that it was a brown broken purse, and when she got the purse, she was stunned, not knowing what she was thinking, when the man on the stack suddenly sat up and yelled and threw himself at Ameko.

The situation was urgent, Zhang Heng didn't have time to think about it subconsciously used the small self-defense means that Bell taught him, and an over-the-shoulder fall knocked the man to the ground, the latter was suddenly hit hard, rolled his eyes, and fainted directly this time.

And Ameko shouted the word "don't" at this time.

"Ah, did he hang up?!" The girl was startled by what had just happened.

"Uh, no, but I guess it will take a while to wake up, what did he just shout at you?"

"Give me back your wallet......" Ameko muttered.

“…………”

"I'll continue to study Japanese when I go back." Zhang Heng Khan, and then the two of them worked together to move the man who had fallen into a coma from drunkenness back to the stack.

Zhang Heng saw that Ameko was still holding the broken wallet in his hand, and asked, "What, is there a huge amount of money in it?" ”

Ameko shook his head, "No, this purse was given to him by his mother for his birthday sixteen years ago, and I didn't expect him to carry it with him." As she spoke, the girl opened her purse, revealing a yellowed old photograph of a family of three under the transparent film on the left side.

Ameko pointed to the one-year-old baby who was held in his arms and said, "This should be me, followed by my father and mother, my mother said that my father had not been addicted to gambling at that time, and our family was still living happily." ”

Zhang Heng's gaze fell on a cool-looking Nissan behind the man, and his expression moved, "You didn't tell me that your father also played with modified cars." ”

"Modified cars? No, no, how is it possible, don't look at him like this now, when I was a child, he was a model man, when the aquatic store first opened, the business was very bad, and he couldn't compete with local rivals, in order to increase the turnover, he began to practice his English to find those foreign customers, call one by one, and visit the door, and at the worst time, the seafood at home would be sold to London, Los Angeles, and even Peru...... It's impossible for someone so serious to get involved with those ramps. ”

“…… And he's never driven since I can remember, and his family's seafood shop usually hires people to deliver goods. Ameko recalled, looking at the photo again, "Eighty percent of the car was parked there while the photo was taken." ”

"That's it......" Zhang Heng didn't ask any more, but said, "I'm quite interested in the car, this car should be an antique now, can you let me take a picture?" ”

"Yes, but don't shoot me, I was super ugly when I was a kid." Ameko blocked her one-year-old self with her fingers and asked Zhang Heng to take pictures.

After that, the girl shook two teacups, boiled some hot water from the electric kettle on the table, and pulled out a black bag of tea leaves from the cabinet.

"This ...... Probably oolong tea. Ameko put it under her nose and sniffed, a little uncertain.

The two chatted while drinking tea, but basically Ameko was talking about her childhood, and after about half an hour, the stubble man on the stack finally opened his eyes, rubbed his sore shoulders, and looked at Zhang Heng on the side vigilantly.

Ameko hurriedly spoke, presumably explaining the relationship between the two.

The stubble man's gaze was a little better, turning from hostility to ignorance, and the two were quickly communicating something in Japanese.

Eventually, Ameko took out 15,000 yen from his bag and put it on the table, but the stubble man didn't look satisfied, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he stood up with a slurp.

Zhang Heng frowned, blocking in front of Ameko, his recent fitness is still quite effective, although he doesn't have too many muscles, but there is nothing superfluous about his body shape, plus he just gave the other party an over-the-shoulder fall before, and the stubble man's momentum weakened significantly after seeing him.

At this time, Ameko also stood up from the ground, her mood seemed very low, and she said with red eyes, "Let's go." ”

On the tram back, the girl looked out the window in a daze, Zhang Heng didn't bother her, and after a while, she took out a box of mixed flavored chewing gum from her pocket and said in broken Japanese, "If you don't eat it, I'll eat strawberries." ”

"If you don't eat it, I'll eat all the strawberry flavor." Ameko corrected, took the gum, her brow furrowed at the same time, and said in Chinese, "I'm sorry, Zhang Sang, for letting you see something unhappy." ”

"No, you've always been helping me, and it feels good to change me once in a while to help you...... So, have you finally reconciled? ”

"No, he said that the person originally hired in the store is going back to his hometown this month, and he can't recruit the right person to drive the delivery for him, and the store will not be able to survive, anyway, he can always find a similar excuse, and I am too lazy to distinguish between the real and the fake, so I will give him this month's pocket money, which should be able to exchange for a period of peace." Ameko said helplessly.
