"This is it, how does this room feel?" said Uesugi Maki as he led Aoba to a small courtyard with a complex corridor and a self-contained system not far away, pointing to one of the rooms.

"It looks good, at least the environment is good. Aoba looked at the house in the small courtyard and nodded, the yard was full of colorful flowers, although it was a little messy because of the lack of people to take care of the relationship, but all kinds of flowers and plants were still lush and flourishing.

"Next to it is the room I used when I lived here, but I haven't been back for a long time, I guess the room is already dirty and needs to be cleaned. Uesugi said as she walked to her door and opened it.

Sure enough, although the room was complete, it was full of dust, and I wanted to clean it up, but the time of the day was busy.

And Aoba also came to his room and opened the door, only to see that the room was no different from Uesugi Maki's room, and the difference was that although Aoba's room was also fully furnished, there were no daily necessities, and the room looked dirtier than Uesugi Maki's room.

"This room, it's really not ordinary dirty, I haven't lived in it for a long time, right?" Aoba looked at his room and slowly shook his head.

"Of course, I come back to live in this room for a few days every year, and I guess I haven't lived in that room for more than ten years!

"Okay, but if you want to clean it, you must first have tools!" Aoba looked at the two of them who had nothing on hand at this moment, and some didn't know how to start.

"I'll be able to find Miss Sato later, but first we should go see Grandpa. When Maki Uesugi mentioned his grandfather, he had a heavy face, as if going to see his grandfather was something particularly awkward.

"What's the matter, is my grandfather very fierce?" Aoba asked puzzled, looking at Uesugi Maki's appearance.

"It's not going to be fierce. It's just very serious, and it looks like everyone owes him money. Uesugi Maki complained dissatisfied, but she definitely didn't dare to say it in front of her grandfather.

"Okay, let's go, I'll see my grandfather and come back quickly to clean up the house, I don't want to rest in the dirty house at night." Aoba smiled and urged Uesugi Maki to say.

"yes, I don't want to sleep in a dirty house! Let's go, let's go find Grandpa." Uesugi Maki grimaced, and walked out of the courtyard with Aoba a little helplessly. And walked down the complex corridor to another courtyard.

So soon the two of them came to the courtyard they had seen so far, the best yard that had been cared for, not only the flowers and plants were well organized, but there was also a babbling stream flowing through the courtyard, and there were several artificially erected stones in the stream, and the water flowed from the stones, flowed into the water purification bowl, and overflowed from the water purification bowl. Rejoin the creek.

"Is this the place?" said Aoba, looking at the delicate courtyard.

"That's right, this is it, Grandpa and Dad live here. That's Grandpa's room, and the yard next door is where Miss Sato usually rests, but in the evening, Miss Sato will go back to the village after dinner, and she doesn't live here, so we'll go there and ask Miss Sato for some cleaning tools. Uesugi said. On the other hand, he took Aoba and continued to walk towards the small courtyard.

Soon the two saw an old man sitting quietly drinking tea on the wooden floor under the eaves of an open Japanese-style sliding door.

The old man looked like a man who didn't smile on a daily basis, with deep wrinkles on his face and a brow that was always tightened. It's quite a bit of a posture of not being angry and arrogant.

And the moment Uesugi Maki saw the old man, his expression, which was originally a little lazy, changed in an instant, and he became serious and dignified, and the speed of the change of face made Aoba unexpected.

"Grandpa, I brought Brother Aoba here. Uesugi Maki stood in front of the old man, bowed slightly, and said with the appearance of Yamato Nadeshiko.

"Aoba? Yes, it's good to be here. The old man raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Aoba, nodded and said.

"Hello grandpa. "Aoba is naturally a courtesy to this old man when a junior sees an elder, even if there is a conflict between his mother and the old man in front of him, and even the old man in front of him expelled his mother from the house, but the old man in front of him is Aoba's grandfather after all, and this is the cause that Aoba can't cut off.

Aoba doesn't know the specific reason for the conflict between his parents and his grandfather, but Aoba still has to have basic politeness when facing his elders.

Even if you don't want to see each other, you just need to stay away, and there is no need to make a fuss that looks bad on the surface.

Not to mention that the old man in front of him is also an elder.

"How is this year going?" After a moment of silence, the old man named Yuichiro Uesugi spoke to Aoba for the first time.

"I'm fine, it's missed. Aoba replied with still the etiquette impeccable.

"That's good, I'm tired after taking the train for so long! You can go back and rest first, and wait for two days to talk about something." As soon as Yuichiro Uesugi finished speaking, he continued to pick up the teacup and drink the tea, and both Aoba and Uesugi Maki understood what the old man meant, this was serving tea to send off guests.

So Aoba and Uesugi Maki left the courtyard after saying goodbye to the old man separately.

That's it,The meeting between Aoba and his grandfather,That's the end.,This is the first meeting between the two.,Aoba from birth to now.,It's the first time I've seen my grandfather.,It's just that the two of them seem to be as plain as water.,No one has much emotional fluctuation.,It's as if they're just strangers who have nothing to do with each other.。

In comparison, Aoba feels that Uncle Uesugi Ginji and Sister Uesugi Maki in front of him make Aoba feel more like everyone is a relative.

In other words, Uesugi Ginji and Uesugi Maki are more civilian, because the Uesugi family has already begun to decline when they were born, especially in Uesugi Maki's generation, it is completely declining!

And Yuichiro Uesugi, who grew up in a big family that is still thriving since he was a child, is still a feudal patriarchal figure of a big family in his bones, even if because of the decline of the Uesugi family, he has no prestige as a parent, and even his children don't listen to him very much.

But he has never been able to change the people in the feudal big family in his bones. The attitude of looking at family affection is relatively light, and at the same time unwilling to show it.

"Whew, how is it? Is it depressing to stay there? If it weren't for the fact that my father is still here, I really don't want to come back once, I really don't understand how the people of the big family in the past can insist on surviving here, everyone can't laugh, isn't they afraid of suffocating themselves to death?" Uesugi Maki just left the line of sight of Yuichiro Uesugi with Aoba, and immediately complained after making sure that the other party would not hear what he said.

At the same time, the whole body also returned to its lazy and lazy appearance.

"Alright, alright. Anyway, as long as we wait for the temple puja to end, we can go back, and where are we going? Aren't we going to find Miss Sato?" Aoba looked at the direction led by Maki Uesugi and wondered.

Because the direction the two of them are walking in now is completely different from the room in the courtyard where Miss Sato was pointed out by Maki Uesugi before.

"We were in a hurry to leave from Grandpa's, so we took a fork in the road, so now we have only two choices, one is to go around this side and go around in a big circle to Miss Sato's yard! What do you choose to go to Miss Sato in a different way?" Uesugi Maki stopped, turned to look at Aoba and asked.

"Well, I'll choose to go around in a big circle!" Aoba said decisively.

In this way, both of them chose to rather go around in a big circle. He also no longer passed in front of Yuichiro Uesugi once.

"Wise choice, let's go! Don't worry, we won't go far. Uesugi Maki comforted Aoba.

So the two guys who didn't want to appear in front of Yuichiro Uesugi chose to take a long detour. also do not appear in front of each other in a way.

But what is even more worth complaining about is that Uesugi Maki was able to nervously walk out when he saw his grandfather, which made Aoba speechless. Of course, Aoba won't say this, and he still has to save this face for Uesugi Maki.

In this way, after the two of them circled around the small courtyard where Yuichiro Uesugi was, they finally came to the courtyard where Miss Sato was and walked in.

"Miss Sato, we're here. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Uesugi Maki suddenly regained his lively and cheerful nature, and no longer showed the seriousness and dignity he had shown in front of Yuichiro Uesugi before, shouting in the courtyard.

"Is it Maki-chan? Welcome back. So with a gentle voice coming from the courtyard, a figure wearing a kimono and walking gracefully appeared in front of the two of them, and slowly walked towards the two from the courtyard.

"Miss Sato, it's been a long time, and you're still so beautiful!" Maki Uesugi took two steps and suddenly threw herself into the arms of Miss Sato and said with a smile.

"Maki-chan is already an adult, but she still looks like a child!" Miss Sato looked at Maki Uesugi who was hugging her and rubbing around, and said helplessly but with some doting.

"Why, in front of Miss Sato, I will always be a child!" said Maki Uesugi without any embarrassed expression.

"Okay, okay Maki-chan, why don't you introduce it quickly, is this Maki-chan's boyfriend?" Miss Sato patted Maki Uesugi on the back and looked at Aoba curiously.

"Miss Sato guessed wrong this time, he's my aunt's child, Brother Aoba!" Uesugi Maki smiled and introduced Aoba to Miss Sato.

"Hey, is it Miss's child? Really, I didn't expect it to grow so big? It's so good. Miss Sato looked at Aoba in a daze, but tears appeared in her eyes.

"Hello Miss Sato, are you an acquaintance of your mother?" Aoba asked with some confusion as she looked at Miss Sato's appearance.

"Yes, I grew up with Miss since I was a child, and since Miss Cong was kicked out of the house, I haven't seen Miss again, I really didn't expect that the Aoba-kun that Miss said in the letter has grown so big, and he is a handsome young man!" Miss Sato said with emotion.

"Thank you, Miss Sato, for remembering your mother, I really appreciate it. Aoba looked at Miss Sato's excited appearance and said with some emotion.

"I've been very anxious about what you'll do alone since Miss's accident, but now that I'm in good health, I'm relieved. Miss Sato looked Aoba up and down, and said with a look of relief at last.

"Got you in mind. Facing Miss Sato's care, Aoba said with a smile.

"Okay, Miss Sato, what else do you want to say to Brother Aoba, there will be time in the next few days, anyway, Brother Aoba will live here for a few days, but we're not here to chat with you now, but to borrow cleaning tools, my room and Brother Aoba's room, if you don't clean it out, it's really completely uninhabitable!" Uesugi Maki frowned when he thought of the appearance of his room.

"Do you want to clean the room, of course, come with me, I'll take you to get the tools!" Miss Sato said with a smile.

"Then trouble Miss Sato. Aoba thanked him.

"You're welcome Aoba-kun, come with me!" Miss Sato smiled at Aoba again, turned around and led the two of them towards the courtyard where she usually worked.

Not only is there a room where Ms. Sato rests between work, but there is also the most important kitchen, and it is also the place where Ms. Sato usually prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner for everyone.

Of course, at this moment, Miss Sato and the two of them could not be in the kitchen, but in a warehouse next to the kitchen, where cleaning tools and the like were located.

"Okay, here's the cleaning tool, you can choose your favorite one. Miss Sato said as she stepped forward to pick out some cleaning tools, not knowing what she was going to do.

Soon, Aoba and Uesugi Maki found the cleaning tools they wanted.

Miss Sato herself also took a cleaning tool and left the warehouse with Aoba and Uesugi Maki.

It's just that at the last moment when she walked out of the warehouse, Miss Sato said to Aoba, "Aoba-kun's tools are put down, you don't need to take them, I'll help you clean the room." ”

"Huh?" Suddenly, Aoba and Uesugi Maki were stunned. (To be continued.) )
