87. In the eyes of the elders, as long as they are not born, they are children
On January 1st, the new year began.
In order to show respect for this day, Takuya Aramura got up early in the morning today, and even tidied up his hair neatly on his mobile phone.
When he went downstairs, he found that the three members of the Tanaka family had already gotten up, Rino Tanaka was sitting on the sofa with his mobile phone and dozing off, Kanehei Tanaka was reading the newspaper, and Masako Tanaka was making breakfast in the kitchen.
"Good morning."
Takuya Aramura said hello.
"Good morning, Takuya, why do you get up so early? Your Aunt Masako is still going to wait until breakfast is ready to call you, do you want to sleep again? Kanhei Tanaka put down the newspaper and said with a smile.
"Every day when you sleep lazy, there must always be a time to be awake." Takuya Aramura opened the door to the bathroom, "I'll wash first." β
After washing, Takuya Aramura sat next to Rino Tanaka and found that her eyes were closed, and the mobile phone in her hand was still playing the New Year's greeting video posted by Miyuki Sawanari on Twitter.
Takuya Aramura took out his mobile phone, and Line had already received more than 20 messages, Miyuki Sawasawa, Sister and Brother Uchida, Saori Hayami... It's all New Year's wishes, and if it weren't for the vibration pattern of his mobile phone, he would probably be able to get up early.
Since Line doesn't have a group sending function, Takuya Aramura, who can't be lazy, can only choose to reply to these people one by one.
Buzz β
Farming and arriness are back in seconds, it seems that she is very idle...
Seed sauce: Wake up so late?
Aramura: It's still early today, and I usually sleep until 9 o'clock.
Seed sauce: Slacker!
Aramura: That makes sense.
Tanuk-chan: Thanks to you, I spent my New Year in the hospital.
Aramura: It's rare that you're so honest.
Tane-chan: You wait for me! Sooner or later, I'm going to trample you under my feet!
Aramura: I'm looking forward to it.
After typing this paragraph, Takuya Aramura put away his phone and stopped replying.
Hearing the movement, Rino Tanaka opened her eyes and rubbed it, "It's Takuya." β
"Well, you didn't sleep well?"
"Didn't you ask knowingly? Last night, I kept the New Year's Eve until one o'clock in the evening, and I was woken up by my mother at six o'clock in the morning. Rino Tanaka seemed to open up the conversation, complained, and played an extremely long hache when it was over.
Who knew that the sound was too loud and alarmed Masako Tanaka in the kitchen, she held the kitchen knife and looked at Rino Tanaka fiercely, "You can't even squeeze in the way to Sensoji Temple later, and you still want to sleep!" β
"Ahh Tanaka Rino let out a mournful cry, "But why don't you call it Takuya!" Obviously he's going too! β
"Heh, if you can start on time every day like Takuya, I don't want to call you." Masako Tanaka sneered and returned to the kitchen with her knife.
"Rino, don't make your mother angry during the New Year." Kanehei Tanaka held up the newspaper, and no one could see his expression.
"Humph!" Rino Tanaka tilted her head and didn't look at him.
"Going to Sensoji Temple today? What are you doing there? Takuya Aramura asked.
"Huh?" Rino Tanaka looked at him with an incredulous expression, "On the first day of the new year, everyone has to go to a shrine or temple to worship and pray for a safe New Year, Takuya, don't you know?" β
"Oh, I've been immersed in books for the last few years, and I've forgotten all these trivial customs." Takuya Aramura casually found a reason to prevaricate.
In his previous life, he also went to the clan ancestral hall on the first day of the new year to worship, and at that time, people within the family would gather here from all over the world to drink and talk, and there were dragon and lion dances.
Not to mention anything else, although the dragon head is not heavy, but it has been dancing around like this, Takuya Aramura's hands are a little unbearable, and his arms can't even use a little strength in his daily life in the next few days.
"It's not a trivial matter!"
"Yes."
"Really, Takuya, it's because you always keep a sideline attitude towards the outside world that you seem so unusual!"
"Yes."
"Takuya, why did you start again!"
Rino Tanaka clenched her fists and was about to smash it on Takuya Aramura.
Takuya Aramura turned sideways, but he didn't dodge.
"It's time to eatβ"
Masako Tanaka brought a pot of soup from the kitchen and put it on the dining table, and shouted to the other side of the sofa.
Takuya Aramura also felt that he had taken on the responsibility of holding the dishes and chopsticks, and Rino Tanaka, who wanted to sit and wait for food, was pulled by Masako Tanaka and went to the kitchen to serve food.
"I want to be lazy on the first day of the new year, do you think I'll allow it?" Masako Tanaka picked up her chopsticks and glared at Rino Tanaka.
"Isn't the New Year just for resting?" Rino Tanaka pouted, and her chopsticks shook on the table.
"If you say that, how about I have a day off? I don't care about all the housework, I'll see what you do! β
"Then I'll go out to the restaurant to eat." Rino Tanaka muttered quietly.
"Rino!"
"Alright, alright! I know mom, you're working hard, but I'm not sensible, so don't say it again! "The fierce and timid Tanaka Rino dared to be presumptuous in the face of his mother who was about to explode, so he had to eat obediently.
Takuya Aramura takes a piece of meat from the saury and stuffs it in his mouth, then takes a bite of rice, and finally rushes the food down his throat with miso soup.
He has only been in this world for less than half a year, and he has eaten more rice for breakfast than in his previous life combined, in fact, he occasionally thinks of fried dough sticks and soup dumplings, but no one in the Tanaka family can do it, so in the end, he can only give up.
"I'm done."
Takuya Aramura put down the chopsticks.
"Takuya, wait a minute." Masako Tanaka took out a white envelope-like thing from the pocket of her coat, a bit like a red envelope.
"This is this year's New Year's money, take it."
Takuya Aramura was stunned, it's really a red envelope.
He waved his hand and refused, "No need, and I'm already twenty-three years old this year, so the New Year's money is for children, right?" β
"How so." Masako Tanaka walked over with a smile and forced the New Year's money into Takuya Aramura's hand, "In the eyes of the elders, people who are not married are children, and those who are married and have no children are also children. β
Hearing this, Takushi Aramura is not good at shirking, and puts the New Year's money in his pocket, to be honest, it is quite thick, and there are at least five banknotes in it.
Tanaka Rino's eyes lit up on the side, and he quickly finished the meal, stuck to Tanaka Masako in small steps, and stared at her with big eyes.
"What for?" Masako Tanaka was a little impatient enough to pull her away from herself.
"People are a few months younger than Takuya, and they also want to press the New Year's money~" Tanaka Rino was pulled away and stuck to it again, and her hands were holding Tanaka Masako's waist tightly.
Tanaka Rino's coquettishness caused Takuya Aramura to chill.
"Nope! Usually disobedient, and still want to press the New Year's money? There's a limit to daydreaming, right? β
"Mom~"
"Let go!"
"Don't~"
"Hurry up and let go!"
"Don't!"
β¦
After several turnovers, Tanaka Rino happily let go of his hand with the New Year's money.
The red envelope was opened, and there were five Fukuzawa Yukichi lying quietly inside.
"Wow! 50,000 yen! β
Rino Tanaka held the red envelope in her arms and jumped around.
"Alright! Let's go change clothes and go to Sensoji Temple together! Masako Tanaka slapped her palms and said to Takuya Aramura: "Takuya, I went to customize a set of black pattern Fu Yu weaving for you last week, which was just made yesterday and placed on the second layer of your wardrobe, go and try if it fits." β
"Okay."
No wonder, Masako Tanaka took a soft ruler and measured it on him last week.
