II.02: A childhood dream

Tuk ~ two hours of flight, in the blink of an eye. Xia Qiao's parents were still gossiping about Xia Qiao and Lin Yi on the plane at first, but slowly, a sense of exhaustion hit, and soon they closed their eyes. They flew to their first stop in Japan: Osaka. Osaka is the second largest city in Japan and has a history of being the ancient capital and vice capital.

As soon as they left the airport, they took the airport bus to their first destination: the Dotonbori Food Court. Dotonbori is a 2.5-kilometer-long neighborhood along a canal located in Osaka City, Japan, on the south bank, and a food court near Shinsaibashi, which is a representative location of Osaka cuisine. And the most famous of them is the big crab, although Xia Qiao doesn't like to eat crabs, but other people can come to eat, and there are some small attractions around here are also very good, and there are many Chinese tourists, which is very convenient. I have to say that Xia Qiao's travel plan is still well arranged, Lin Yi has also been to Japan a few times, and his impression of Japan is quite good.

Xia Qiao's family first arrived in Japan, full of curiosity about everything in Japan, to the point that they are very much like tourists, although they were originally tourists, Lin Yi is also very responsible to shoulder his own work, from travel to arrival also took a lot of photos for Xia Qiao's family, although Xia Qiao's parents and grandmother's pose is still a must-see posture for sightseeing, but it makes people feel warm and comfortable when they look at it.

Soon, they found their address: Xia Qiao found a Japanese homestay for the convenience of the family, a simple and straightforward three-bedroom house, a total of four floors, the fourth floor is their host's own residence, and the other facilities are still very complete for guests to live, quite suitable for a family.

Xia Qiao used her self-taught Japanese to communicate with the locals for the first time, and when she checked in, she was still a little nervous. Lin saw that she took a deep breath, muttered a few words in her mouth, and thought about whether to help her, but without waiting for him to help her, she saw her walk straight to the old man in the hall, as if she had made some major decision, and communicated with the old man.

After some communication, Xia Qiao also became more confident.

Although Lin Yi's English was good, seeing Xia Qiao, a little girl, couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

After Xia Qiao checked in, her first practical experience brought her countless confidence, and she was introverted and happy, after all, the idol was still there, and she couldn't lose face. Xia Qiao, who got the key, walked happily and trotted happily, running to the place where the idol and his parents stopped.

Since it was already close to afternoon when they arrived, they decided to make some adjustments to the general room and headed to Dotonbori Food Street, a food court in Osaka.

Xia Qiao is still very careful, considering that her grandmother is old and her mother is not in good health, Xia Qiao's place where they live is only ten minutes away from the food street, and they can also enjoy the street scenery of Japan along the way, Xia Qiao's family feels that Japan is really clean.

When twilight falls, the lights are on, looking at the dim lights not far away, walking slowly along the food street, there is a feeling of being in a different world, as if it is still in China.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the food street, which was really a variety of delicacies, dazzling and overwhelming. Japan is near the sea, so the staple food is sea fish, although Xia Qiao doesn't like to eat much, but his parents can eat it, and his grandmother also likes it, so they chose a crab shop that looks very popular, because Xia Qiao doesn't like to eat seafood very much, so she bought some takoyaki and snacks along the way, the taste is really a must, to the crab shop, Xia Qiao became an exclusive fitter, responsible for picking crabs for everyone.

Everyone at the dinner table was harmonious, Xia Qiao's parents cared about Lin Yi even more, seeing that Lin Yi was too thin, and his daughter was so fat, he kept letting Lin Yi eat more, at this time his mother gave Lin Yi a dish, and at that time his father gave Lin Yi a dish, Xia Qiao was also very interested in handing Lin Yi crabs, Lin Yi suddenly had a little touch, obviously they had just met this morning, as if they had known each other for a long time. However, he didn't eat much, and seeing that Xia's father and Xia's mother had been feeding, Lin Yi couldn't refuse.

Suddenly, a call came to Lin Yi's mobile phone, which read: Xiao Er. He motioned to answer the phone, just in time to catch his breath.

"Brother Lin, how is it? If you land, you don't report safety, do you know that people's little hearts have been beating for you. There was a slightly coquettish tone on the other side of the phone

"I think you're going to be dancing for everyone." Lin Yi smiled amusefully and said, "I'm safe, and the customers this time are also friendly." ”

"How? I heard that a beautiful woman wrote a letter to ask you to come this time, do you have a boyfriend? Single? Don't miss it, you kid. I've been single for so long, so it's time to take a look at the scenery outside. ”

"If you don't like it, you can introduce me, I've been with you for so long, I'm righteous enough." Xiao Er teased.

Lin Yi immediately replied to him: "I didn't let you accompany me to be single, it's not that no one chases, it's just that I don't want to talk about it, and you don't know, you, don't tease me." ”

Xiao Er still insisted on asking: "Alas, then can you tell me how it is this time?" I heard that this girl is quite filial this time, it's pretty good, you don't like you to pay attention to me......"

Lin Yi felt that this Xiao Er was suddenly in estrus, and before he could finish speaking, he immediately replied: "Hang up first, they are still waiting for me to eat." ”

Only Xiao Er, who was on the other side of the phone, was looking at the phone screen alone and hung up with a stunned expression.

When Lin Yi returned to the table, a peeled crab leg and food, Lin Yi was a little stunned. Xia Qiao also felt Lin Yi's frozenness, so he immediately relieved Lin Yi: "Parents, so it's really partial, I'm not your daughter anymore, so you won't give me vegetables." As he spoke, he took the dishes in Lin Yi's bowl and put them in front of him.

At this time, Xia Ma spoke; "You have hands, clip them yourself, and you see that you should lose weight, you look at Lin Yi, how good your figure is, make up for it, maybe I can hold my grandson." As she spoke, Xia Qiao's parents and grandmother laughed. Only Lin Yi and Xia Qiao looked at each other for a moment, embarrassed for a moment, and said three times.

Lin Yi thought: It seems that I have to talk to Xia Qiao.

After eating, they went to Shinsaibashi, not far from Dotonbori. Shinsaibashi is the most famous commercial street in Osaka, similar to Beijing's Balitun, gathered all kinds of large department stores, because shopping is a woman's nature, Xia Qiao and Xia Ma are quite energetic, but after a while, Xia Dad wanted to escape, some tricks, said that he couldn't walk, grandma was also a little tired because of the long-distance trip, wanted to rest, didn't want to go, but Xia Qiao and Xia Ma were still unsatisfied, at this time grandma said: "Let Lin Yi send us back first, you go first." As soon as Lin wants to come back, he will come back to accompany you two. ”

Lin Yi wasn't really interested in shopping, and just as his grandmother said to send her back, he took the initiative to say, "I'll send my uncle and grandmother back to rest first." ”

Then Xia Qiao and her mother were left to continue shopping, and the others went back to wash and rest first.

On the way, Lin Yi walked with Xia's father and grandmother, and the atmosphere was slightly embarrassing. No one said anything, except that they could feel the rustling of the leaves as the wind blew through them. Occasionally, Dad Xia chatted for a sentence or two about how to go, but it was quieter after speaking.

Soon, they arrived at the homestay, and at this time, my grandmother, who had never spoken much, suddenly spoke: Lin Yi, you can help me to my room first. ”

Lin Yi looked at this kind grandmother, and suddenly thought of his grandmother, so he took more care of his grandmother.

Lin Yi: "Okay, I'll take you there." ”

Lin Yi politely said hello to Xia's father, and followed his grandmother to the room.
