200. Towards the end of Christmas 9(1/3)

Kiyono's mother got the belt prepared by Toru Watanabe, and Kujo's mother got her daughter's bathing agent.

Both of them were very satisfied.

Next, everyone sorted out the cakes baked by Wild Mother and ate the fried chicken made by Kujo’s Mother.

In addition, there is a wide variety of food.

Roast suckling pig, sausage, ham, stew, steak, lamb chops, pork chops;

Mashed potatoes, French fries, ketchup, pastry tarts, ice cream, salads, various puddings, various fruit pies;

Roast duck, pan-fried buns, spring rolls, dumplings, puffs, biscuits;

Kaiseki cuisine in Kyoto, takoyaki in Osaka, seafood from Hokkaido, grilled eel from Nagoya, sushi from Tokyo, soba from Nagano, puffer fish from Kyushu...

All these things, surrounded by a huge golden roast turkey, filled the long table.

"Watanabe-kun, how about fried chicken? I haven't made these for a long time." Kujo's mother asked.

Watanabe Toru dipped the fried chicken in hot sauce and took a big bite.

"Tell the truth?" he asked the four people present in a tentative tone.

"Tell me, why are you so polite to me?" Kujo's mother said with a smile.

"Compared with me, there is still a little gap."

"Watanabe-kun knows how to cook?" Kiyono's mother was dipping slices of roasted suckling pig in sugar.

This scene reminded Toru Watanabe of Kituji Bridge. During his school trip, by the Uji River, Rin Kiyono once said that he ate roasted suckling pig dipped in sugar.

"I don't know how to cook," he said. "I worked in a supermarket near Nishi-Shinjuku Station and was in charge of the deli section."

“Deli section?”

"Well, mainly oden, various fried foods, and fried chicken. I work five days a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and weekends. During the time I am responsible for, the transaction volume of the cooked food area is far higher than other times," he said

It’s not too much to say that he is the little prince of the deli section.”

"So awesome? I really want to try it!" Kujo's mother said in anticipation.

"It's no use being great. My boss has never given me an hourly wage increase."

"Besides these, what other jobs has Mr. Watanabe had?" Qingye's mother asked curiously.

"Stop talking nonsense." Qingye Rin and his mother spoke at the same time.

"What nonsense?" Toru Watanabe was unhappy, "Kyono-kun, which part of the sentence did I lie to?"

Rin Kiyono put down the apple pie in his hand.

She first said calmly: "Being clever all day long."

Then, point out the truth: "You just have a pretty face."

"Guess?" Watanabe Toru asked.

"Is it wrong?" Qingye Rin asked.

"I am so handsome, no matter what I do, I will inevitably be affected by it."

"Use your brain to think about serious things, and don't think about lying in various ways all day long." Qingye Rin said unceremoniously.

"Everyone has their own circumstances. With my intelligence, I can easily handle even serious matters, so I have a lot of time to relax my brain."

"Smart? In front of me?"

"No. 1 in the country." Toru Watanabe puffed out his reindeer chest.

"Using grades to measure a person's intelligence has proven that you are not smart enough and have a narrow vision."

"It's amazing. Not only is your brain weak, but it also denies my gaze. Is this a double reward?"

Qingye Rin put his hand to his mouth to hide his smile.

At this time, Qingye’s mother’s voice came, also with a smile:

"You two, stop arguing. Watanabe-kun, did you hear what I just said?"

Oops - this word popped into Toru Watanabe's mind.

Sure enough, in the corner of his sight, Kujo Miki was also looking at him with her peripheral vision.

The two people's eyes crossed.

What she means is: I'll take care of you later.

"In addition to supermarkets, I have also held billboards, but that kind of work requires dispatch fees from part-time companies, and it is very hard. Unless there is a lack of money or other reasons, I will not do that."

"So you heard my question and thought you only had eyes for Rin." Qingye's mother said, pretending to be surprised.

Kujo Miki was bored and eating the peeled king crab legs, and stepped on Toru Watanabe's feet with her feet under the table as if nothing had happened.

Grind hard.

The reindeer suit is really good and thick enough.

Watanabe Toru felt like Kujo Miki was giving him a massage.

By the way, find a chance and let Miss Kujo give him a massage.

Watanabe Toru's face showed a look of enduring pain.

"Watanabe-kun," Kujo's mother asked curiously, "can you tell me about your family situation?"

"My family's situation is very ordinary." Toru Watanabe followed the topic, "A remote village, very poor."

"How poor does it mean to be very poor?" Qingye's mother said there was no malice in her tone, she was simply curious.

"Hmm -" Watanabe Toru thought for a while, "In front of every house, the wood he chopped by himself is piled up to the eaves."

"It's very vivid." Qingye's mother said with a smile.

"After all, if you think about unreasonable things all day long, it's hard not to have a rich imagination."

Qingye Rin, who was picking up roasted suckling pig with chopsticks, rolled his eyes at him.

"Dear." Miki Kujo pulled out the meat of a crab leg and made a gesture of feeding Toru Watanabe.

"Thank you sweetheart." Toru Watanabe opened his mouth.

Kujo Miki ate the crab leg meat herself.

"..."

The two mothers laughed.

Watanabe Toru ate a strawberry the size of a baby's fist and continued:

"But now we don't use much firewood. If we pile it up there, if we don't pay attention, animals will build nests on it."

They listened quietly to Toru Watanabe's words.

"What animal?" Kujo Miki asked.

"Sometimes it's a bird, sometimes it's a snake."

"Snake?" Qingye's mother looked a little scared.

"Yes. I saw a snake laying eggs with my own eyes. Later, my father asked the villagers for a cat. The cat slept on the firewood pile all day, and the birds and snakes were all gone."

Toru Watanabe ate another strawberry.

Kujo Miki picked up the wine and asked, "Tell me about your father."

"Do you want to say this for Christmas?" Toru Watanabe looked around at the people present.

"Compared to the frivolous things you think about all day long, this is quite serious." Qingye Rin wanted to eat steak. Kujo's mother brought the plate to her and she thanked her softly.

The top quality steak, fried to medium rare, cut into long strips, and topped with special sauce.

"My father... is a very ordinary man." The image of his father appeared in Toru Watanabe's mind.

"He neither cares about the economy nor is he interested in who is the Prime Minister. The only thing worth showing off in his life is that he climbed Mount Fuji on a motorcycle when he was young."

"Climb Mount Fuji?"

"Well, that happened when he was in high school." Toru Watanabe nodded, "Later, the Yamaha motorcycle that he was afraid of being stolen while sleeping was also sold after he married my mother.

Now, I have replaced it with a Honda Coyote which is convenient for transporting cargo.”

"What an amazing father."

Watanabe Toru nodded, shook his head, and said with a smile:

"Fathers everywhere are like this."

"Where is your mother?" Kiyono Rin wiped his lips with a napkin after eating steak.

"My mother is more ordinary. Apart from me, she seems to have nothing to show off. But then again," Watanabe Toru laughed, "riding a motorcycle to climb Mount Fuji is not something worth showing off."

"A parent's greatest pride is always their children." Qingye's mother looked at her daughter with eyes that were both proud and a little sad.

"Miki has suffered a lot too. Come on, mommy will feed you." Kujo's mother pinched a piece of special mackerel sushi.
