Chapter 31: Our Cousin
Of course, Ogata is whatever the garden is called, she is Xiaolan's best friend, so he just laughed when he heard the garden say "cousin".
Tachibana Plaza is one of Tokyo's busiest business districts, with famous department stores and shops lining the streets. What are the characteristics of shopping with women? It's just one word 'go'!
Watching Yuanzi walk in front of him with Xiaolan on his shoulder, the two happily discussed which store the TV stars frequented, and what colors of clothes have been popular recently. Ogata has no resistance to accompanying people shopping, so he follows in the footsteps of the two women, silently watching the new things they point out.
"Cousin, are you thirsty?" Xiaolan turned her head to look at Ogata, who was helping her and Sonoko with two pockets of clothes, and asked with concern.
Ogata was about to say that she was not thirsty, but Sonoko had already walked to a cold drink shop and bought three freshly made milkshakes, and she handed one to Ogata: "Treat our cousin who has the most credit!" ”
"Thank you." Ogata took the milkshake, reached for a straw in the garden's hand, and with a slight force of his hand, he plunged into it, leaning his lips over and sucking it, and suddenly the frosty milkshake made him feel a lot more energetic with beads of sweat on his forehead.
Xiaolan also used a straw to prick the plastic surface of the milkshake, but probably because of the strength of her hand, the sharp part of the straw was a little rolled off, and she tried for a long time, but she didn't get it in.
"I'll do it." Ogata smiled and reached out to ask for the milkshake in Xiaolan's hand, as an older brother, of course he had to take such a small thing on himself.
Xiaolan saw that her cousin was very gentle, and said softly, "Be careful, don't splash on your body." ”
Adjusting the straw again, Ogata pushed it slightly, and the straw went directly into the cup of the milkshake, and he smiled and gave it back to Xiaolan, saying, "Karate is not for abusing straws, leave it to me next time." ”
"Hmm." Ran buried her head and leaned closer to the straw, happily listening to Ogata's concern.
Sonoko snorted, looking angrily at Ogata, who was taking care of Ran, and she said, "Look at me!" As she spoke, the straw in her hand thrust hard, and perhaps because of the other hand's hard grip, some milkshakes squirted out.
"Ahh The soup of the milkshake splashed on the garden's new blouse, and there were a few more conspicuous marks, and the most embarrassing thing was that her hands were full of soup, very sticky, and the girl was the most resistant to this kind of thing.
Ogata smiled bitterly and glanced at the garden, which was the same age as Xiaolan, but he didn't expect that she was the one who needed to be taken care of the most, so he quickly took the sticky milkshake from her hand, took out a pack of tissues from the pocket of his pants with the other hand, and said to the garden: "Let's wipe my hands first." ”
"Hmm!" Yuan Zi hurriedly agreed, and reluctantly pulled out a tissue with his dirty palm to wipe his palm and ten fingers.
Ogata noticed that Sonoko's fingers were very slender and looked very good, and he said, "You should be able to play the piano, right?" ”
"I've learned that kind of thing, but I haven't practiced it very well." Yuan Zi wiped the milkshake soup off his hands and exhaled.
Ogata asked, "Do you still drink?" He was referring, of course, to the milkshake in his hand.
"Oops, I almost forgot!" Sonoko came back to her senses and took the milkshake through a layer of paper towels and put it aside, but before Ogata could react, she took out the remaining tissues and quickly wiped the palms of Ogata carefully.
After such a small episode, Sonoko looked depressedly at Ogata and Xiaoran, who were showing off with a straw in their mouths, she glanced at the stains on her clothes, and said a little speechlessly: "It's really unlucky today, it seems that the results of tarot card divination are very accurate." ”
"Garden, when did you believe in that kind of thing?" Xiaolan asked curiously.
Yuan Zi replied proudly, "A week ago, I met a friend who is an expert in this field. I went out this time for divination, showing that I would be a little depressed, obviously just now, but, and I will hand over the peach blossom luck. ”
"Huh?" Xiaolan seemed to understand what the garden said, and when she saw her look at her cousin Ogata, she secretly tapped it.
Ogata pretended not to hear the two girls talking, and his eyes kept wandering on the shops on either side of the street.
"Cousin, go to the department store, okay?" Sonoko looked at Ogata blankly, as if asking for his opinion.
Ogata shrugged, "Let's go, you guys just have fun." ”
Seeing that the garden pulled Xiaolan happily in front, Ogata smiled, these two little girls had no worries and sorrows, maybe for them, this was the best time.
It seemed to feel the power of their words to talk and laugh, and Ogata interjected from time to time to amuse them
From noon to five o'clock in the evening, even a woman with a fighting power of up to 100 years in the shopping was exhausted and found a seat to rest.
Ogata saw that Sonoko took off her shoes to rub her feet regardless of the image, and she didn't have the image of the consortium lady that she had learned from Xiaolan's mouth, while Xiaolan was sorting out the harvest of today's battle between her and Sonoko.
"Cousin, you're so good at shopping!" Sonoko and Ran looked at Ogata who was sitting next to him with some surprise and didn't say anything, because his job was not just walking, but also carrying large bags and small bags and acting as a bag bearer.
Ogata glanced at the two of them: "This feeling seems to be, I am despised by you"
"Who made you a big man better than the two of us!" Yuanzi said with a smile.
Just when Ogata was unable to argue, Ran found a box from the pile of pockets she had sorted out and handed it to Ogata.
"What is this?" Ogata didn't take it directly, and looked at the two of them in confusion.
The garden said proudly: "I know that you haven't paid attention to what the two of us have visited!" ”
"Cousin, this is a gift from me and the garden. Congratulations on finding a job after returning to China! Ran smiled slightly, and without waiting for Ogata to excuse herself, she put the box on his lap.
Ogata opened the box and saw a delicate black fountain pen, both in terms of workmanship and style, and he thanked him, "I like what you have given me, and I will be able to use it at any time when I work in the future." ”
"Xiaolan, I'll just say it! Cousin will love it. "The garden looks like I know my cousin.
After resting in his chair for a while, Ogata saw that the sky was already dark and the time on his watch was just past six o'clock, and he said, "It's so late, let's take you home, Sonoko!" ”
"It's fine." Yuan Zi smiled and said, "I will ask the driver at home to pick me up." ”
Hearing this, Ogata couldn't help but smile bitterly and teased: "I almost forgot, how could the eldest lady of the Suzuki Foundation squeeze the bus and take a taxi." ”
"Who says you can't?" Yuanzi's eyes widened, and he said stubbornly: "Okay, don't call the driver to pick me up, I'll go back with you today!" ”
“”
Ogata finally understood that no matter what era or what kind of world, there is a difference between the rich and the poor, which is called "the one who has enough to eat."
"How?" Sonoko smiled and leaned her face closer to Ogata, and she suddenly felt that if it weren't for Ran by her side, she would kiss her.
