Chapter 114: Filial piety

"Rintaro ......" Yorai Katase stood in front of the gate and looked at the house in the courtyard: "Your house is quite big." ”

"It's an old house. Because most of them are wooden structures, they have been many years old and now look a little old. It looks bigger because there is no second floor, so I can only make the house bigger, and I heard my grandfather say that when this house was built, the land was not very valuable. ”

"Ho-ho." Rai Katase nodded.

"This house looks like it's probably the only one in the neighborhood that is more traditional." Katase Hazuki also looked at the house: "It looks pretty good." ”

Rintaro didn't know if they were comforting themselves, after all, from his own point of view, he didn't have a sense of age.

Rintaro's eyes looked at the flower pots placed in the corner, and although the small flower pots in this circle were not rare plants, they looked quite lush. It should be that grandparents took the time to take care of it.

Well......

Rintaro walked towards the flower pots and checked them one by one. When I found the fifth, I finally found what I was looking for.

It was an irregular shard of marble, and it looked a little sharp, a secret that only Rintaro's family knew.

"Sakuraba-san, what are you doing?" Hoshiri Katase looked at him curiously.

Anyway, the three sisters wouldn't covet any property that their family didn't have in the first place, so Rintaro didn't avoid them and opened the stone.

That's right, opened.

It's a marble model, and with a little force you can separate it from the middle and find the key hidden inside. This plastic model seems to have been made by Rintaro Sakuraba when he was in elementary school.

“…… In a sense, it's a very old-fashioned, but very useful move. Katase Yorai spat out.

Rintaro put the stone back, took the key and opened the door to the house, or walked a few steps to the closed main door. This old-fashioned house can only be locked from the inside of the house with a simple door lock, and when no one is in the house, you can only enter through the back door.

"Wait a little bit for me." Rintaro walked around the side of the house to the back and found the closed door in the corridor that was not blocked by the wall.

Taking off his shoes, Rintaro walked up and pulled the door open with ease, but Rintaro didn't smell the not-so-fresh air he had imagined.

The room was covered with tatami mats, and Rintaro walked through the living room, came to the entrance, and opened the door. I wanted to turn on the light, but after Rintaro moved the switch, there was no response, so I don't know if it was broken.

"Welcome."

"Excuse me~"

Yori Katase took over the conversation.

"The floor is covered with tatami mats, and my grandparents should have helped clean it, so just take off their shoes and step on it. There is no electricity at home, maybe the electric switch is not on, I will go over and turn it on. I don't know if the guest room has been cleaned, so put the luggage in the living room first. It's inside the door at the end of the hallway. ”

"Can I take a tour?" Hoshiri Katase is full of curiosity about Rintaro's house.

"Of course you can, but I'd better wait until I turn on the lights first, otherwise it will feel pretty dark here."

After Rintaro finished speaking, he took the three sisters to the living room first, and then went around the back door, came to the side of the house, turned on the electric switch, and when he returned to the back, the three sisters were already standing in the corridor in front of the backyard and looking out.

"Wow! Rintaro, your house is really nice, and you can see the mountains and woods directly behind you from here. The yard is also quite big. ”

"But that's all there is to it. Come on, I'll clean up your room before we visit. There's still a lot of time, so there's no rush. ”

"Rintaro, you're so cold......"

"Isn't your family here?" Katase Hazuki remembered another question: "Generally speaking, even if you have to go out to work, you don't need to turn off the electric switch. ”

Rintaro pondered for two seconds: "In that case...... Come and burn incense. ”

The three sisters became puzzled together, and then thought of something, and their whole expressions changed.

Rintaro didn't really care, and walked out of the living room, then turned to the left, which was the room used by his parents.

"Speaking of which, I don't think I told you about it before. My parents' words passed away in a car accident about half a year ago, and I was lucky enough to survive, but I don't know if it was psychological or neurological damage, but I didn't have any expression. But after such a long time, I also saw it. I'm the only one in our family. ”

Entering the room, Rintaro casually turned on the light. The house is clean, and there is a smell of burning incense, which should be left by grandparents who came to burn incense in the past two days.

On the left-hand side after opening the door, there is a simple shrine. There was a picture frame, an incense burner, and something else.

"I'm back." Rintaro said such a line for the first time when he returned home.

Rintaro went to the shrine to get the incense paper, but when he turned around, he saw the three sisters standing at the door and not coming in: "Don't be so restrained, my parents would die of laughter if they knew that I brought three girls home at a time to laugh." Instead of standing there looking at me, why don't you come over and burn some incense paper together. ”

If it were usual, Katase Yorai and Katase Hazuki might have sanctioned Rin Taro for bringing Katase Hoshiri in his words, but now...... They just nodded. As for Hoshiri Katase, although this is not good, she seems to be a little happy.

Rintaro didn't talk much when he burned incense, because he didn't know what to say, and the three sisters were different, and they were saying good things to Rintaro with face.

"Rintaro's academic performance is very good, don't worry about him."

"If there's a problem, we'll help him."

"Sakuraba-san is a good person."

As we all know, Hori Katase doesn't turn around and scold people, so what she says is a good person is a compliment.

The worship doesn't take much time, and Rintaro is not prepared to spend too much time on it, so after reporting to his parents that he is safe, Rintaro leaves the room with the three sisters. Even if there is something to say, it is not the time when someone else is around. All he had to do now was help them tidy up the room first.

And, judging from the impression that Rintaro still retains about his parents, there is a greater chance that his parents will be happy if they do so.

Rintaro is very filial!
