"It's a shame that we came here by car, and there are not a lot of people here."

Under the leadership of Kanna, everyone sat on the all-night tram and finally came to the "remote" shrine a few stops away, but before they saw the iconic red torii gate under the shrine gate, Ning Ning was already stunned by the bustling crowd.

But Kanna just smiled faintly, and then replied in a tone that was already commonplace:

"After all, this is Tokyo, and there are no fewer people at any shrine, but at least there is no need to queue up here, and at some shrines that are said to be particularly effective, people have to wait in line for hours to get their turn."

"Hours, hours! Isn't it almost dawn when the worship is over? ”

Ning Ning stared at her already wide eyes, and exclaimed incredibly, she never burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, she couldn't understand why someone, so many people, would waste hours waiting to worship the Buddha in the cold winter night in order to get lucky.

Maybe luck and talent do determine the upper limit of a person's growth, but hard work determines the lower limit of a person's growth, even if people who pray to the gods every day can't always count on living on a lifetime of good luck, but as long as they are willing to work hard, even if they still can't excel in the end, the result will definitely not be too bad.

"It's not so much superstition as it's just for the sake of the holiday spirit, for fun.

After all, it's the middle of the night, and even for young people in Japan, there is a sense of excitement -- and I'm talking about ordinary good boys, of course. ”

Chu Fang answered the question in Ning Ning's stomach as if he had a heart. After hearing this, Shen Wu pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled reservedly, and said with a little surprise:

"Maybe that's the case with a lot of young people. Even in Japan, most students attend classes every day. Must go home before dark.

Girls, on the other hand, have strict thresholds, even if they lie that they are going to spend the night at a friend's house, they are not allowed to get permission lightly, and their parents must also talk to the other parent to express their gratitude - and at the same time, to find out whether the child is telling the truth or not.

The only time you can go out for a night trip like this is New Year's and various festivals, and only once a year can you hang out on the street with friends, especially girls, in the early hours of the morning.

I found that although Ning Ning's mind is smarter, if you want to talk about the aspect of insight into people's hearts. Or is Chu Fang superior, maybe it's just the difference in talent? ”

"Hehe......"

In the face of Shen Wu's subtle praise - it should be regarded as praise, the only answer Chu Fang could do was to smile.

It is very ridiculous to talk about talent in front of a genius girl like Ning Ning who can do the best in everything, although his ability to perceive people's hearts is indeed much stronger than Ning Ning, but that is only because Ning Ning does not disdain to ponder the various dark thoughts of ordinary people, and in terms of insight into intrigues and tricks, Ning Ning is actually stronger than him - both in terms of mind and objective experience.

A really strong person doesn't have to care about the sights and feelings of others, and only a weak person like him will care about others everywhere, and he doesn't dare to play anything his own way. And in a slightly darker direction, it is precisely because of his distrust of his father-in-law and mother-in-law and morality that he often ponders people's hearts, trying to figure out why his father-in-law and mother-in-law will not only adopt him. And he had to marry his only daughter to him as his wife.

To be honest, Chu Fang really secretly guessed that maybe he was the biological child of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. And the poor worm who has become an orphan since she was a child is actually Ning Ning, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law treat the two children impartially in order to ensure that they are impartial. didn't let Ning Ning feel abused as soon as she was scolded, so she kept telling the two of them that Chu Fang was an adopted orphan.

But it is impossible for fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law to really let other people's children inherit their huge inheritance. And if your child has nothing, or can only get half or a small part of the property, then the best way is naturally to let the adopted daughter marry her own son.

――Chu Fang definitely didn't think this because he had acted like this in the TV series, normally speaking, ordinary people should be like this, right? There is a good side, but there is also some selfishness.

On the contrary, a "perfect person" like Ning Ning's parents is usually either loyal or a traitor, and can a loyal person really make a big business? Chu Fang is not a conspiracy theory or can only see the dark side of society, in fact, this is usually the case, and the few good cases that occasionally appear are not representative of the entire group of businessmen.

Could it be that because there are a few good officials or good businessmen in the month of the Monkey, can we close our eyes and say that most of the officials and businessmen are good? In fact, if all the officials and businessmen are dragged out and shot, there will definitely be unjust deaths, but there will definitely be many fish that have slipped through the net if they are shot one after another.

The merchants here even include small traders and hawkers, and it is not only the big merchants whose wealth has the "original sin", but also the small traders and hawkers who are short of two pounds and shoddy ones, and those who are willing to do honest business are relatively rare, so the occasional few are immediately hyped as positive examples.

"Speaking of which...... I've always thought it's a little strange, isn't your grandfather going to defeat the Red Army of a Qiē cow, ghost, snake and god, why do you let you wear a kimono every day, and let you visit a shrine or something? ”

Because of Shen Wu's praise just now, Chu Fang, who was dark, intensified his ability to perceive people's hearts, and even questioned the grandfather of Tianwang Zhou Shen Wu, if it was placed in the Soviet Union in the Stalin era, he would definitely be able to find a place in the "All-Russian Extraordinary Committee for the Elimination of Counter-Revolution and Sabotage", and even become the chairman.

"Well, my grandfather, though he was a little different from other revolutionaries when he was young, was still clinging to things that were out of place until I was born, as you can tell from my name.

However, in fact, after I was born, his thinking had already begun to change, not because he had betrayed the revolution, but because he was able to understand the thinking of the chairman and the prime minister more correctly, and he was able to organically combine the opposition to feudal superstition with the maintenance of cultural traditions, and he began to try to carry out revolutionary practice with Japanese characteristics according to the actual situation in Japan. ”

As soon as he mentioned his grandfather, Tianwang Zhou God involuntarily straightened his originally straight back again, and his expression subconsciously tightened.

"Although Grandpa's attempt failed, and the final result proved that even the proletarians may not have the most determined revolutionary spirit - especially when everyone else gave up their principles to 'get rid of poverty and become rich', but whenever I see the remaining original members of the Tianwangzhou Group who have been able to spend their old age in peace, I think that Grandpa may have done a good job."

Speaking of Ji Ye, who was old but still very energetic, Shen Wu laughed softly, Chu Fang and Ning Ning had also seen those old grandfathers who lived near Tianwang Zhou's house, on the surface, they were indeed no different from ordinary retired old people, and they couldn't see that they were once underworld members, and those old grandmothers were also very kind, and no one could guess that their husbands were fierce and vicious members of the community.

"Ahh Kanna-chan is here too! I'll just say it's impossible not to come!

Kanna-chan! Here and here! Would you like a hot mulled wine? ”

Walking and walking, Chu Fang and his party met several friends of Kanna at the door of the shrine, among which the one in civilian clothes held a cup in one hand and waved vigorously with the other, and greeted them loudly from a distance, although Chu Fang couldn't understand Japanese, but there was a black cat whispering around him to translate synchronously, so he could also understand what she was talking about.

"Let everyone laugh, it's my friend over there, let's go over together."

Shen Wu smiled at Chu Fang and the others a little apologetically, and then walked over briskly, when they came to the big wooden barrel containing the sweet wine that kept steaming out, Chu Fang saw that the short-haired girl in civilian clothes had turned a magnificent red, not because of the normal flush caused by the cold, but because of the sweet wine that had been drunk too much.

"Don't you drink too much, people clearly say that each person is limited to one drink, right? You're the only one who has the cheekiness to be on the edge of the keg every time. ”

God walked over speechless and disgusted, and it seemed that he had a really good relationship with the girl in casual clothes, but listening to her, the female drunkard didn't seem to drink too much like this now? Could it be that guy is the type who blushes immediately after a drop of alcohol?

"Congratulations to the New Year. If you don't come back, this guy is really going to drink too much. ”

Next to the girl in casual clothes, a Yamato Nadeshiko wearing a gorgeous Cheng dù is more than Kannai's black Dai-sleeved kimono smiled and greeted her with a New Year's greeting, and then politely bowed slightly to Chu Fang and Ning Ning, who came over with Kanna, and Chu Fang and his party also quickly smiled and nodded in response.

And next to this typical Yamato Nadeshiko, there is also a sweet girl in white Katsuyuki, who wears a white kimono with large vibration sleeves like the Japanese wedding dress "Bai Muji", high-end silk fabrics with dark flowers, foil and embroidery are also made of silver threads, and she does not wear a plush shawl or scarf like other girls, as if to show a kind of lonely and lonely artistic conception - most of the guys in white are out of this mentality.

But even so, her appearance is still three points sweeter and cuter than others, and if she puts a white fox scarf around her neck, even Chu Fang wants to hold her face and shout "kawaii". (To be continued......)
