Chapter 81 Yuuka's first time eating melon seeds
Chapter 81 Yuuka's first time eating melon seeds
At Zhao Yu's house, Youhua was sitting beside the fire, warming herself with her hands outstretched. She looked at the burning firewood with curiosity.
This way of keeping warm seemed quite novel to her. After hearing Zhao Yu’s introduction, she wanted to try it.
"Don't get too close, be careful of sparks splashing on you." Zhao Yu spoke to Youhua in Neon language.
Although he knew that Yuka now knew enough Chinese to communicate, he still had the habit of speaking Japanese to her.
"Yujun, you can speak Chinese to me. My Chinese is completely ok." Youhua made a gesture to Zhao Yu that it was okay.
"But if I don't speak Neon language to you, then no one will speak to you." Zhao Yu said softly.
Youhua was stunned. Only then did she realize that she was now an outsider.
But has Yujun even thought of such a detail? Youhua looked at Zhao Yu's profile.
Now Zhao Yu is moving the firewood, putting some distance between them and Youhua, so that Youhua can warm herself by the fire without being hit by sparks.
In the dim side hall, Zhao Yu's face was covered with a layer of orange light under the light of the fire.
His eyes were just fixed on the firewood, as if what he just said was just spoken casually without any thought.
"Yujun is so thoughtful." Youhua spoke seriously in Chinese this time.
I don't know why, but Yuka always feels that it would be better to express her gratitude in Chinese.
"Do you want to go out for a walk later? I can take you to the village to meet other people." Zhao Yu asked.
It was still early for dinner, so he wanted to take Youhua for a walk around the village to familiarize herself with the environment first.
"Okay, I haven't visited Huaxia's village yet." Yuhua nodded.
"Then let's warm up for a while and then go out to take a look. I remember that Neon also has a prop similar to a fire pit for heating, it's called..." Zhao Yu began to chat with Youhua.
"It's a kotatsu, a small table with an electric heater." Yuka stretched out her hand and gestured.
"But in terms of size, it's much smaller than a fire pit, so it's not as convenient to move around."
"It seems that many countries actually have some similarities," said Zhao Yu.
In fact, in the countryside of Chengdu, some small families also use heating devices such as kotatsu, which are a combination of table and stove.
He still remembers that when he was a child, he was visiting relatives and the fire was too strong, so he leaned on the table and burned his clothes.
"After all, we are all from the East Asian cultural circle, and our customs are similar." Yuka agreed.
While the two were chatting, Chen Xiuhua came over with an enamel plate filled with candies, peanuts and melon seeds, which are considered the three essential items for the Chinese New Year.
"Come! Eat something first. This is what I bought in town." Chen Xiuhua put the plate on the small stool next to Youhua.
"Mom, I can't reach it if you put it there." Zhao Yu said to Chen Xiuhua.
He and Yuka were sitting face to face with a fire pit between them. The warm environment made him too lazy to move, so he could only use traditional skills and call for his mother.
However, Chen Xiuhua rolled her eyes at Zhao Yu and said, "Don't you have legs? If you want to eat, come over and get it."
Sigh...family status...Zhao Yu sighed.
"It's okay. If Yujun wants to eat it, I can take it to him." Youhua spoke in poor Chinese.
"Don't worry about him. Auntie tells you that boys should not be allowed to be too lazy." Chen Xiuhua stopped Youhua from getting up.
"I'm going to clean up the dishes now. I'll ask him to take you out to play later, and we can eat when he comes back."
After saying that, Chen Xiuhua glared at Zhao Yu. Judging from her eyes, it was obvious that she wanted him to do his own things.
Yuka secretly watched the interaction between the mother and son, feeling somewhat puzzled.
In fact, when she first came, the reason why she was afraid that Chen Xiuhua didn't like her was because her inherent thinking was too serious.
In Japan, young people who are married or dating generally don't live with their parents, in order to keep a distance and avoid conflicts.
No matter which country it is, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is an enduring problem, and Japan has chosen the simplest solution.
Although Youhua didn't know whether Chen Xiuhua was like other Japanese grandmothers, who were kind in front of outsiders but behaved differently in private.
But the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Japanese royal family has always been discussed by the Japanese. With this precedent, she is still a little scared.
That's why he was always worried about whether Chen Xiuhua would dislike him. In fact, he was afraid that she would make things difficult for him.
Even though Zhao Yu had said many times that Chen Xiuhua liked him very much, Youhua still didn't believe it.
It was not until she arrived at Zhao Yu's home that she personally felt the difference of Chen Xiuhua.
From the genuine enthusiasm when she first entered the door to the obvious protection now, Yuhua always has an illusion.
"It feels like you are my mother's biological child." Zhao Yu complained in a low voice, directly speaking out what Youhua was thinking.
This feeling really is like being treated as one's own daughter. Youhua smiled, stood up and brought the enamel plate to Zhao Yu.
"Okay, I'll bring it to Yujun, don't be unhappy."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let my mother see us." Zhao Yu glanced at the kitchen and spoke.
"If she saw me, she would definitely think that I didn't listen to her and secretly ordered you to do the work."
"It's okay, we'll do it quietly so Auntie won't find out." Youhua winked at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu looked at the plate in Youhua's hand, then looked at the distance between them, and suddenly made room for him.
"Yuuka, just sit here."
"Oh? Is it okay?" Yuka hesitated.
Although the two had had close contact once when Zhao Yu sneaked into Ueno's house, that time was an accident and she herself was a little confused.
But it’s different now, she is very sober now.
"It doesn't matter. Don't we all say just treat it as your own home? It's more convenient this way, right?" Zhao Yu said.
He felt that running back and forth was indeed a bit troublesome, so it would be better to sit on a bench, which was quite long anyway.
"Okay, okay." Youhua no longer hesitated, took a small stool beside her and sat next to Zhao Yu, and put the enamel plate on the stool.
Crack! The sound of burning firewood can be heard.
Youhua felt her heart beating faster and she could smell the scent of Zhao Yu. She couldn't tell what the scent was, but she thought it smelled very good.
It wasn't cold at all now, but Yuka felt her face was getting very hot.
Will Yujun suddenly hold my hand later? How should I react then?
Should I be like the manual Shiori gave me, be shy first and then naturally hold it back, or...
Just by getting close to Zhao Yu, Youhua couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts, and her eyes kept looking at his hands.
On the back of the white hand were slender fingers with distinct joints, which were a whole circle larger than his own hand.
Wait! Hands, hands raised, raised! Are they going to hold hands? Yuka's heartbeat speed increased again, and her emotions were suddenly pulled up.
As a result, Zhao Yu's hand reached straight forward and grabbed a handful of melon seeds.
Ugh, what was I thinking? What an idiot! Yuka suddenly felt extremely disappointed.
Zhao Yu didn't notice her inner thoughts, but started to crack melon seeds.
"Don't you want to eat? Melon seeds..."
While eating melon seeds, Zhao Yu spoke to Youhua. "What is this?" Youhua looked at the melon seeds in front of her with some confusion.
There is no custom of eating melon seeds in Japan. This is the first time that Yuhua has seen this.
"This is sunflower seeds, the seeds of sunflowers." Zhao Yu explained to Youhua.
"Sunflower seeds? Are they edible?" Yuhua grabbed a handful curiously, carefully put one in her mouth and started chewing.
The shell is a bit prickly, and the fruit inside tastes okay, but it feels a bit like eating sawdust.
"Pooh!" Youhua spat out immediately with a strange expression on her face.
“This isn’t tasty at all.”
"Hahahahahaha, this is not the way you eat." Zhao Yu looked at Youhua's wrinkled little face and couldn't help laughing out loud.
He had only seen children eating melon seeds with the shells attached for the first time.
But Yuka is indeed as cute as a child...
"Let me teach you... Look, just bite it open with your teeth like this, and then eat the fruit inside." Zhao Yu picked up a melon seed and opened his mouth to indicate.
Yuhua looked at Zhao Yu's mouth, recalling what Shiori had said before, and began to daydream again unconsciously.
"Have you learned it? It's very simple...Yuhua?" Zhao Yu looked at the dazed Youhua with some confusion.
"I've learned it!" Yuhua quickly came to her senses and grabbed a handful of melon seeds with a hint of embarrassment.
"Is that right?"
Holding a melon seed, Youhua began to try, but as soon as she bit it open with her teeth, the melon seed shell stuck to her tongue.
"Be faster, more accurate and ruthless. You will learn it if you eat more." Zhao Yu reminded.
"Okay, then I'll try again." Yuhua spit out the melon seed shells and started trying again.
I was a little unfamiliar with it at the beginning, but after a while, I gradually became proficient in it.
At the same time, Yuka also felt that this thing seemed to have some kind of magic. Once she started trying the first one, she couldn't stop at all.
It’s a small melon seed, and the fruit inside is obviously not very big, but it makes people want to keep eating it.
Crunch, crunch, the sound of cracking melon seeds continued to ring out. Zhao Yu looked at Youhua, who looked like a little hamster, and smiled.
"Phew, it's warm now, why don't we go out for a walk?"
"Okay, but..." Youhua looked at the melon seeds in the enamel plate reluctantly. It was the first time for her to try this kind of snack and she was a little reluctant to give it up.
"Easy." Zhao Yu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in his pocket, then pointed at Youhua.
"If you want to eat later, just take it out of my pocket."
"Yujun still has the solution!" Youhua stood up from the bench happily.
"Let's go. They should all be at home at this time. I'll take you to meet some people." Zhao Yu said as he walked out the door.
At the same time, on the other side, the Ueno family.
The atmosphere was depressing and a little scary, but it was not because of Ueno Masao. At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground, waiting for the old man in front of him to speak.
The old man in front of him was wearing a dark black kimono, hunched over and leaning on a cane, with a look of majesty on his face.
Although he is very thin, his eyes are very bright and he looks very healthy.
This person is Yuka's grandfather, Shinichiro Ueno.
Next to him was Mamiko Ueno, looking extremely elegant in a pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses.
She didn't even look at Ueno Masao, but instead stared at the letter left by Yuka.
"It looks like Yuuka has gone to China, old man."
"I just left you alone for a while, and you did this." Shinichiro Ueno poked the cane hard in his hand.
"Are you worthy of me handing the Ueno family over to you? I am so disappointed."
"But father, I do this for Yuka and the Ueno family." Ueno Masazō couldn't help but speak.
"Shut up! You are totally unqualified as a parent!" Shinichiro Ueno shouted angrily.
"If Yuuka hadn't left this time, I wouldn't have known that Yuuka was unwilling to go to Tokyo."
In her letter, Yuka wrote down everything she had longed for her parents' recognition since she was a child, including how she came to Tokyo and how she helped Ueno Masaru hide it from his grandparents.
In addition to these, Yuka also wrote that she now has new pursuits and does not want to be bound by family and other things anymore. She wants to pursue what she really wants.
At the same time, she also told Ueno Masao not to worry, she would reunite with Zhao Yu in China to prove that even if she did not live the life according to his arrangements, she would be happy.
It was only after Mamiko Ueno read the letter that Shinichiro Ueno learned the truth.
Originally, in Shinichiro Ueno's opinion, Yuka went to Tokyo voluntarily.
He didn't expect that she would lie to him because of her parents. When he thought of this, Shinichiro Ueno, who treated Yuka as his treasure, had the urge to kill Masao Ueno.
"How could I have a son like you!" He glared at Ueno Masazō fiercely.
"But father, haven't you always taught me this way?" Ueno Masao didn't understand.
He has been like this since he was a child, so why would doing this to Yuuka make Shinichiro Ueno so angry?
"It's no longer that era now. How can you be accepted if you still maintain the educational methods of that era? Idiot!" Ueno Shinichiro couldn't help but scold Ueno Masao.
"Why did I leave the Ueno family's property? Isn't it for your future to be stable and happy? The reason why I was so strict with you was because in that era, you had to be capable to keep the family business!"
When Masao Ueno took over the Ueno family, the Neon bubble economy had just begun. If it weren't for Shinichiro Ueno's strictness, the Ueno family would probably have gone bankrupt long ago.
"But things are different now. Yuka doesn't need to work hard. The Ueno family's wealth is enough for her to live a rich life. Why do you still force her?"
"Father, can't the Ueno family go one step further? Yuka has the potential!" said Ueno Masao.
"So you are the idiot! Yuka has her own choice. Why should you force her with something she doesn't want?" Ueno Shinichiro said with a frown.
“You didn’t treat me like this before…”
"If I had treated you like this, you would have squandered all the Ueno family wealth by now!"
"Then there's nothing wrong with me wanting Yuka to be better, right? We can't let her squander all the Ueno family's fortune in the future, right?" Ueno Masazō couldn't help but retort.
"I watched Yuka grow up. How much more prodigal can that child be? Besides...what if my granddaughter is a prodigal? Don't you, her father, have to back her up?"
Shinichiro Ueno's words left Masao Ueno speechless.
No? So I should suffer, and my daughter can enjoy the good life, right?
"Yuka is my granddaughter, she can do whatever she wants!" said Shinichiro Ueno.
Mamiko Ueno, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh when she saw Shinichiro Ueno's appearance.
The old man still favors his granddaughter so much...
There is still one chapter in the afternoon. I almost used up all the manuscripts I had yesterday. Wow…
I really want to play Black Myth, but I don't have the time
Also, please help Tutu read his new book. He will be launching a trial version soon (bow)
