"I understand." Qingye Rin, who could see through lies, nodded, "But you do like to talk nonsense."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Auntie, do you know what Watanabe-san is like at school?"

"I often talk to Teacher Koizumi on the phone and she says she is doing very well."

"Teacher Koizumi is so pitiful." Qingye Rin lamented for Koizumi Qingna, "Aunt Zhi, Watanabe-san usually stares at you all day long..."

"Stare at the blackboard!" Watanabe Tetsuyu stopped drinking and quickly interrupted her, "I'm staring at the blackboard, right, R-san?"

Qingye Rin looked away from Watanabe's mother and looked over with a smile: "Am I still talking nonsense, Watanabe-san?"

"Nonsense, I'm talking nonsense."

R-san raised a victor's smile.

"Mom, Tokyo women bully me." Toru Watanabe asked an adult.

Watanabe’s mother laughed twice happily and said to Qingye Rin:

"Xiao Lin, please keep an eye on Xiao Che in school from now on. If you have anything to say, tell me."

"Okay, Auntie."

"Let's exchange contact information."

"Um."

Seeing the two people not only exchanging emails but also adding line friends, Toru Watanabe felt worried about the future when he thought that Rin Kiyono never lied.

Although he didn’t do anything illegal, there were some things—such as seeing Norin’s legs clearly—that there was absolutely no need to let his parents know!

Not only did the two people exchange lines, Watanabe's mother also pulled Kiyo Rin into the Watanabe family group.

Watanabe Toru thought for a moment and pulled in Miki Kujo who was still sleeping upstairs.

The size of the family group increased from three to five.

Watanabe Toru looked at this number and thought of Asuka Mai-senpai who was far away in Tokyo. Maybe one day in the future, this number will become six?

I don’t know what his parents will think of him at that time...

Before that, he might have been humanly destroyed by Kujo Mihime. No, it couldn't be an easy death like humane destruction. He should have been killed.

The word ‘slaughter’ always seems to refer to pigs and sheep.

After breakfast, Watanabe’s mother cleared away the dishes.

"Xiao Che, go to Yoshida's house and bring back the lucky god stains for me. I will go out directly later."

"good."

Fukujinzuke is a pickle made from seven kinds of vegetables pickled with seasonings.

"I'll go too." Qingye Rin said.

"Okay, I just want to take a walk and show you the scenery in the countryside."

Kiyono Rin didn't change her clothes, just wore a sweater and a long skirt, and walked to the entrance with Toru Watanabe.

When putting on his shoes, Toru Watanabe was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Qingye Rin asked.

"Nothing." Toru Watanabe put on his shoes, "Let's go."

Before breakfast, my son casually told his mother that his feet were a little cold. After breakfast, there was already an extra layer of plush cushions in his shoes.

The two left the Watanabe house and came to the path in the village.

In addition to the next door neighbor, the farthest home from Watanabe's house is also three to four minutes away.

The morning air is filled with silence.

In the canal, the gurgling stream makes a pleasant sound.

It was surrounded by farmland, and the roots of the straw were still inside.

This book is compiled and produced by a public account. Follow VX [Book Friends Base Camp], read the book and receive cash red envelopes!

The two of them walked side by side in this rural scenery.

"In June and July, there will be a large field of hydrangeas here." Toru Watanabe pointed to a field bank.

Qingye Rin took a look there and muttered:

"I've read in many literature books that fields in the countryside should be planted with broad beans and the like. How can we plant useless hydrangeas?"

"Broad beans are also grown, and more soybeans are grown, but that was in the past. Now there are fewer people, and many farmlands are abandoned."

"Indeed, it has been many years." Kiyono Rin nodded, "They are all books from the Showa period."

The two of them walked through the field bank, which would be full of hydrangea flowers in June, and next to it was a plastic greenhouse.

In the greenhouse, off-season vegetables are grown.

There are three ridges in the field, one for tomatoes, one for eggplants, and the remaining ridge is filled with coriander, green peppers, garlic seedlings, etc.

Watanabe Toru left the path, crossed the ditch, stepped onto the dirt, opened the shed and went inside.

"Is this your home?" Qingye Rin followed in and looked around curiously.

"no."

Watanabe Toru picked two red tomatoes, wiped them casually, and handed one to Kiyono Rin.

"Isn't that stealing?" Qingye Rin looked at the lovely tomatoes in his hand.

"In our Mizawa Village," Toru Watanabe took a big bite, revealing the red flesh and yellow seeds. "This is a symbol of good relations between neighbors, and we only took two."

"Just like you have a driver's license in Mizawa Village?"

"Extracting inferences from one example, you're smart!" Toru Watanabe praised.

Qingye Rin sighed: "I really hope the police can teach you a lesson."

"You think the police don't steal? Every time that guy comes to our village, he rides a broken bicycle, parks on the roadside, and goes to pick cucumbers in the field. Don't think that every time he takes one, it's not considered stealing."

Qingye Rin didn't eat the tomatoes, so she took out her mobile phone and squatted down to take pictures of the tomatoes and eggplants hanging on the branches.

"Isn't it a symbol of good neighborly relations? Why is it a thief again?" she asked while taking pictures.

"He is not from our village."

Watanabe Toru had finished eating the tomatoes and threw the fruit stems directly into the ground.

After Mr. Qing Yegami, who had never seen the world, finished taking pictures of coriander from all angles, the two closed the greenhouse door and continued walking.

"This village is deserted but not in decline." Qingye Rin looked at the sun rising from the mountains.

"Well, it's just like my house: old, but not dilapidated." Toru Watanabe also looked at the distant mountains.

"What is summer like?"

"The eyes are filled with fresh green, and the cuckoos are singing in the mountains."

"Isn't there any bonito?" Rin Kiyono looked away and looked at Toru Watanabe.

Watanabe Tetsuya also looked away, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

This is a haiku poem by Yamaguchi Sodo: The eyes are filled with fresh green, the cuckoos are singing in the mountains, and the bonito is fresh in early summer.

"What on earth don't you know?" Toru Watanabe said unwillingly.

"If you want to surpass me in literature, you must first read my eight-meter-high home library." Qingye Rin covered the corners of his mouth and laughed.

"Take your time, it will take a long time anyway."

"So, in your own words, what is summer like in Mizawa Village?"

"Hmm...the monotonous chirping of cicadas and the intermittent sound of wind chimes."

"'Monotonous, intermittent' sounds good, but it seems desolate compared to the 'eyes are filled with fresh green and cuckoos are singing in the mountains' just now."

"Can it not be desolate?" Toru Watanabe explained, "Do you think the countryside is comfortable? It's okay to live there occasionally, but for those who have seen the neon lights of the city, this is a ghost place."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Watanabe Toru pointed to the valley at the end of the road and continued, "You can see the sea through there. I will take you to see it in two days."

"So, this is actually a seaside village?" Qingye Rin thought about it, and when he glanced at it, it was indeed the sea.

"Huh? That makes sense!" Toru Watanabe made a fist with his right hand and hammered it into the palm of his left hand. "It turns out that I am not a child from the mountains, but a child from the seaside."

Kiyono Rin glared at him with a look like "What have you been thinking about writing all day?"

While talking, the two of them arrived at Yoshida's house.

The general layout is similar to the Watanabe house, with cement paths, mud vestibules, and quaint traditional buildings.

The difference is that parked in the warehouse is a rice-planting tractor.

"It's Xiaote!" Aunt Yoshida's voice was very nice.

"Aunt Yoshida." Toru Watanabe greeted, "This is my friend from a school in Tokyo, Rin Kiyono."
