Chapter Seventy-Five: It doesn't really matter how Santa Claus got red
Winter in Okinawa is snow-free.
It is said to be winter, but in fact, the minimum temperature is also around 15 degrees.
And because it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, it is affected by the monsoon, and the temperature will be lower.
On the side of the road, next to the bus stop sign illuminated by the dim street lamp, stood a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase, sticking to the briefcase, and hanging on the outside was a small gift bag.
Hiroshi Handa, Kanna's father.
Glancing at the watch on his wrist that looked like it was some years old in the dim light, Hiroshi sighed slightly.
"Is this already the point?"
When I checked the report submitted by my subordinates before leaving work, I found more than one error, and I corrected and revised it until more than seven o'clock.
It was a little girl who had just graduated from college, and she didn't look much older than Kanna, and she had just entered society. Hiroshi really couldn't bear to say some harsh and harsh things to her.
This was not the case with Hiroshi in the past.
The subordinates of the department also discussed privately that since taking their daughter to live with them, the minister has undergone major changes.
Treat newcomers no longer so old-fashioned and harsh, even if they catch subordinates making mistakes, they are more patient to help correct mistakes.
This may be the power of the daughter, everyone guessed so.
Didi –
The familiar sound of the bus horn with a sullen feeling came along with the sound of the engine, and Hiroshi Handa didn't even confirm with his own eyes whether it was the bus he was going to take, and got on the bus directly.
After living here for so long, some things can be heard by hearing, and even the ears can passively find subtle differences in the sound of the horn that is almost the same.
After swiping his card and saying hello to the bus driver, who he was already familiar with, Hiroshi Handa sat down in a position very close to the exit door.
It's also very familiar, and I've sat in countless seats.
The bus stared at a pair of large, unblinking yellow eyes and drove forward against the cool sea breeze.
Looking at the "Christmas gift" outside the briefcase, the corners of Hiroshi's mouth rose slightly, and his mood was much better.
He thought of the sensible and well-behaved daughter at home, who would occasionally be coquettish, and would order himself to change his dirty clothes like a little adult, help himself rub his back, and prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for himself.
If a daughter is like this, what more can the father ask for?
However, because he thought that these skills of Kanna were learned because of a boy, Hiroshi began to be unhappy again, and he was very unhappy.
Once he thought that Kanna had rubbed the boy's back and carefully prepared the lunch box at noon, Hiroshi had the urge to ask You Yi out to find an unmanned rooftop to have a good chat.
"Stinky boy!"
I couldn't help but curse.
This kid also blackmailed himself for a full 50,000 yen at that time!
At that time, he either had a brain pump, or his brain was pumped up, so he would give him the so-called thank you money!
He should have paid for it, right?
Enjoy the intimate care of a young girl like a new wife for two whole months! He should pay for it no matter what you think, right? Half a million... No, a million is not enough!
But in the end, he suppressed the growing anger of the old father, after all, if he hadn't met that boy, Kanna might still be a bad girl at this time.
Sighing silently, Hiroshi, who estimated that the time was about to be up, looked out the window, and then stood up with the seat in front of him.
The action is very light, for fear of bumping into the Christmas gift bag and accidentally making wrinkles or scratches.
I bought the Christmas gift from a shop recommended by the younger junior, and I said that most girls nowadays prefer that kind of shop.
At the suggestion of the back, Hiroshi chose a metal bracelet that looked very fashionable and young. Although it is not a precious metal, the price is not low.
Christmas gifts, plus a pre-booked dinner for tomorrow night, Hiroshi feels that this Christmas will be very warm, and maybe he can also unlock the scene where Kanna is holding his arms outside.
……
Standing in front of a small building, Hiroshi Handa's mood is getting better and better, because of the arrival of the girl, this building that has been living alone before is full of home.
The messy feeling has not been traced since I don't know when it has been cleaned, almost spotless, and the placement of various items is no longer as random and messy as before.
Although if you accidentally stain the floor, your daughter will stare at you angrily, and you won't let yourself go until you take the initiative to clean up.
But Hiroshi still feels very loving.
"I'm out."
Opening the door and entering the hallway, Hiroshi sniffed his nose first, and unsurprisingly, the smell of dinner wafted from the living room.
In the interval between changing shoes, Hiroshi, who always felt that something was missing from the smell of dinner, stared and pondered, and finally, got the answer:
Missing that slightly delicate miso soup!
Kanna's cooking is okay, but the level of miso soup is really a little unsatisfactory, I don't know if it's too much, or overcooked, and the seaweed smell of kombu will be a little too heavy every time.
Of course, even so, Hiroshi drank it every time.
"Welcome back, Daddy."
Kanna's brisk voice came, and then Hiroshi heard the sound of footsteps, and about two seconds later, a full of vitality Kanna appeared in the entrance and took the initiative to take Hiroshi's briefcase and gift bag.
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible Kanna, Hiroshi felt that the fatigue of the day disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the happiness and satisfaction melted in his heart and manifested in his eyes.
"I didn't smell the smell of miso soup today." Hiroshi, who was afraid that he would be embarrassed in front of Kanna by accident, hurriedly said.
Huan Nai snorted twice, crossed his hands on his hips, and proudly straightened up and began to develop, but it was still a barren plain: "Today I made the preserved egg and lean porridge I learned from Brother You Yi, Dad, you will definitely be startled by the delicious food!" ”
"That's right."
Maybe it was because of hearing Yuyi's name, Hiroshi Handa was not as happy as he was just now.
Also distracted by hearing the boy's name, Hiroshi didn't notice the new bracelet on Kanna's right wrist for the first time.
By the time I noticed, dinner was almost over.
Noticing that the bracelet on the girl's wrist was extremely shiny, extremely finely made, and had more texture than the bracelet he chose, it was a very fashionable bracelet, and Hiroshi asked suspiciously: "Kanna-chan, that bracelet..."
"I loved the Christmas present! Thank you Dad! ”
Kanna raised her right arm lightly, and the smile she showed was as dazzling to Hiroshi as the platinum bracelet on her wrist.
No, it's more dazzling than that.
However, then he sensed that something was wrong and showed some doubts, until Kanna handed over a piece of jam paper with a touched face and spoke again.
"I didn't expect my father and Brother You to prepare Christmas gifts for me together, it's really good."
On the cardboard is a very casual cartoon version of a bald middle-aged man. Half a bald head sits above the blue sea, symbolizing the sparkling sun.
On the beach nearby, a girl wearing a sun hat and no painted face strolled on the beach with her hands behind her back, her blonde hair fluttering in the wind.
It just so happened that a few snowflakes fell, attracting the attention of the girl.
The bald middle-aged man put his hands in front of his mouth, and shouted at the girl in the distance in an extremely exaggerated manner, and the dialog box on the side read:
Kanna-chan, Merry Christmas!!
There is also a small line at the top:
A Christmas gift from a bald father and his "brother".
