The green forests on both sides are not like an island country, but rather like Europe, with a dark tone.

In the forest of fir and larch, weeds grow extremely luxuriantly, and the edges of the road are covered with moss.

From time to time, cyclists pass by in pairs.

When there were more and more tourists, we arrived at the shopping street, which is the busiest old street in Karuizawa.

European-style old churches along the street;

Pedestrians coming and going, fashionable clothes, exquisite grooming;

Art-filled shops, antique shops, and Western-style restaurants are lined up in rows;

The retro red bus has a square carriage and square glass, resembling a large candy jar.

Xiaolian was riding on a cute children's bicycle, her eyes sparkling, and she stared at everything in front of her for a long time.

She felt that she must have arrived in a magical world.

Toru Watanabe filmed this scene on his mobile phone.

They started shopping on this street, and almost every store they entered, the products displayed in the store captured Xiaolian's attention.

"Arche!" She raised her little face, tugged on Toru Watanabe's sleeves, and turned to him as if she had discovered a treasure, "The hat, it's so cute."

"Do you want it?" Watanabe Toru squatted on one knee and looked at the hat with her.

A children's hat with a large brimmed sunshade and a beautiful bow with a blue ribbon.

"Hmm!" Xiaolian's eyes widened, "Do you want to buy it for us?"

"How about you try it on first? If it looks good, buy it."

Xiaolian stared at the hat for a long time, shook her head, and said childishly:

"Forget it, mom told me not to spend Archer's money casually."

"You're so good, can Auntie buy it for you?" Mrs. Qingye couldn't help but rub Xiaolian's head.

Xiaolian still shook her head.

"This is not a waste of money," Toru Watanabe said. "A hat is a must-have in summer, otherwise you will get sunburned."

"Is that so?!" Xiaolian looked at him in surprise, "We never wear them in summer!"

"That's because you were young before and now you have grown up, so you will get sunburned. Does Grandpa Tadokoro wear a hat like this every time he goes to the fields?"

Xiaolian opened her mouth and suddenly said with enlightenment: "It is indeed a must-have for summer!"

Watanabe Toru stood up and asked the clerk: "Can I try it?"

"Of course!" the clerk said quickly, "This is very popular with children and is the best-selling children's model in the store!"

Xiaolian put on her hat, looked at herself in the mirror, and let out a surprised and satisfied sound of "Oh——".

"A sunhat and a dress are a classic combination. Next, go buy a dress." Rin Kiyono said.

"Dress?!" Xiaolian turned to look at her.

"Let's go." Qingye Rin took Xiaolian's hand and the two of them walked out of the store.

"Xiao Lian, your brother just lied to you. Being sunburned has nothing to do with your age, and you won't get sunburned so easily in Karuizawa."

"..." Xiaolian looked at her blankly, "Do you want to return the hat?"

"I'm asking you a question. If you answer it correctly, you don't have to pay it back."

"We will get the answer right!"

The two walked out of the hat shop like an older sister leading a younger sister.

The remaining four people looked at them. Miki Kujo hugged her elbows and sneered: "She looks like her younger sister."

"Miki is jealous?" Kiyono Yuko asked with a smile.

"Jealous?"

"Xiao Lin's younger sister, Mei Ji was the only one in the past."

"Is that so?" Mrs. Kujo looked at her daughter with a smile.

Kujo Miki stared at the two of them coldly.

"Don't make my Miki angry!" Toru Watanabe hooked Miki Kujo's shoulders and walked out of the store to chase after his sisters.

"Are you kidding me?" Kujo Miki turned her face sideways and stared at him.

"This is called making you happy."

"Toru Watanabe, you are becoming more and more presumptuous, Miss..."

The ladies looked at the disappearing figures of the two men, looked at each other, and laughed at the same time.

Two young women who looked to be in their mid-twenties followed him arm in arm.

Buy a dress at a clothing store;

Eat cakes and savor the aroma of tea in a specialty tea restaurant;

Find the oldest taste of Karuizawa brewed with centuries-old craftsmanship at the jam shop;

Xiaolian found everything novel and extremely excited. At first she followed Toru Watanabe closely, but eventually she became familiar with her sister and aunt and only discussed it with them.

"Xiao Lian, let's go. You will stay here for a month, so you have plenty of time to see." Mrs. Kujo said.

Xiaolian laid her hands on the display window and reluctantly took one last look at the hive that was half a person tall.

Next to the hive, there is a hill made of honey pots.

After Mrs. Kujo's persuasion, Xiaolian finally walked out of the store.

She held Qingye Rin with one hand and held the dragonfly doll in the other: "Sister Rin, bees came to build a nest on our house once."

"Really?"

"Yeah! But it's not that big. It's only as big as mom's fist. We picked the flowers and wanted them to collect nectar, but mom destroyed the bees' home the next day."

"Xiaolian's mother is doing it for Xiaolian's good."

"Yeah." Xiaolian nodded.

After leaving the honey shop, they went to the supermarket again.

Xiaolian's eyes were opened and she said intoxicatedly: "Is this a supermarket?"

"This is very small. When you return to Tokyo, aunt will take you to a real shopping mall." Mrs. Qingye said.

"Um!"

"Xiaolian," Toru Watanabe picked up a shopping cart, "Do you want to push it?"

"We want to push!" Xiaolian raised her hand.

Xiaolian struggled to load the large shopping cart, and Toru Watanabe helped her get the dolls and bought a lot of ingredients.

"Let's eat pork shabu-shabu tonight!" Mrs. Qingye happily selected the ingredients.

I only bought enough for dinner - a lot for six people, and the ladies obviously didn't have the idea of ​​"almost enough for dinner" when buying things. Although it was just dinner, they put it in the shopping cart when they saw it.

The ingredients for the day are purchased on the same day, including bread for the morning.

Buying food and cooking every day, I don’t know if this kind of life can last a lifetime, but if I try it occasionally, like this August, it’s totally fine.

After buying the ingredients, Xiaolian was already tired.

Originally, they planned to go to a coffee shop called "Maruyama" to buy coffee beans, but the two ladies had to go alone.

Watanabe Toru, the two eldest ladies, and Xiaolian were sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree, eating ice cream cones and waiting for them.

Next to Toru Watanabe is a pile of shopping bags, and at Xiaolian's feet is her child's bicycle. She wears a sun hat on her head and holds a big-eyed dragonfly doll in her arms.

In front of you is a small forest park with some children's facilities among the tall trees.

Slides, seesaws, locomotives, and mazes made of ropes.

"Want to play?" Kujo Miki asked Xiaolian.

Xiaolian concentrated on eating the ice cream cone. After listening to her words, she raised her head and looked at the park.

"Sister Meiji, do you want to play together?" she asked.

"Let your sister Rin accompany you," Miki Kujo said.

Xiaolian turned her head and looked at Qingye Rin.

Qingye Rin was too tired to say anything, so she just waved her hands.

Xiaolian looked at Kujo Miki again.

"Ask your brother to accompany you." Kujo Miki glanced at Watanabe Toru.

Xiaolian looked at Toru Watanabe again.

When Toru Watanabe was about to speak, a group of fashionably dressed children came over chatting.
