I open a farm in the doomsday: I take in a female coach at the beginning

"Looking at it this way, it's actually a good thing that the shrine insists on holding the summer festival. After all, the food at the festival is provided to everyone, and it can be considered as providing help to those who can't get enough food."

Ando's mother said with a smile.

Jiang Chuan also nodded in response, but his mood gradually became alert.

The shrine today is no longer the shrine it once was in the town. This brothel-like organization still insists on holding summer festivals and providing free food to the townspeople.

What is this for?

Do good things?

Jiang Chuan absolutely didn't believe it.

When Shizuka Kudo came to Jiang Chuan's house before, although she was rejected, Jiang Chuan clearly felt that she was not going to give up.

Although I don't know what she wants to do, she must have insisted on holding this summer festival because she wanted to achieve a certain goal.

Jiang Chuan didn't know what the other party wanted to do or what means he would use.

it's fine.

Because Jiang Chuan just happened to have his own plans for the shrine.

"Did they say when it would be held?"

Jiang Chuan looked up and asked.

"It is said that it is scheduled for the end of this month. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be in the evening three days later."

Three days later, well, not many days left.

But it just so happened that Jiang Chuan was planning to take some time to visit the shrine in the next two days.

"If I go to the summer festival, should I prepare a yukata?"

Ando's mother suddenly reminded with a smile, but then she looked at Jiang Chuan, looked him up and down, and the smile on her face disappeared, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Jiang Chuan, you are much taller than the old man. I'm afraid you can't even wear his yukata. What should I do..."

Hearing this, Ando's father's expression suddenly showed a little embarrassment.

He was indeed not tall, even shorter than his two daughters, and after putting on shoes, he was less than 1.7 meters tall, which could be said to be the standard height of a Yamato male.

However, after hearing what Ando's mother said, Jiang Chuan politely shook his head and refused.

"It's okay, auntie. We're just visiting the festival. There's no need to make it so formal."

Jiang Chuan was being polite, but even if he had suitable yukata and clogs, he wouldn't wear them.

Not to mention that the thing looks extremely stuffy when put on, and it also gives off the feeling of a down-and-out samurai in a movie. Jiang Chuan has no interest in this kind of foreign national costume that is purely a nuisance.

But the other female employees are a different story.

Sweeping his eyes over the top of the dining table, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but feel that whether it was Ando Haruyuki's mountains, Mrs. Hayakawa's giant peaks, or even Minami Chinatsu's small hills, they would surely show a different charm against the backdrop of the yukata collar, right?

And if you wear clogs, you probably won’t wear socks, right?

Now I am really looking forward to the festival...

Noticing Jiang Chuan's gaze, Ando Haruyuki also gave him a little expression that said "I know what you are thinking".

Chapter 172 The Key to the Sugimoto Family

In the afternoon, the doorbell of Ando's house was rang without any warning.

After Jiang Chuan opened the door, he was somewhat surprised by the figure that appeared outside.

The black tight T-shirt that was stretched to the limit by the giant mountain and could be torn apart in the next second, the gentle shoulder-length hair, and the faint familiar milky fragrance...

It's Mrs. Sugimoto.

Two days ago, her child Kenta was admitted to the clinic due to pneumonia and fever. After Jiang Chuan took out some medicine to save the child's life, he never found time to visit him. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sugimoto came to visit.

Did something happen to Kenta-kun?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but he soon saw the expression on Mrs. Sugimoto's face. There was no sadness at all, but a hint of shyness in her embarrassment.

Jiang Chuan then felt relieved and said to Mrs. Sugimoto in front of him.

"Mrs. Sugimoto? Why did you come all the way here? Is Kenta-kun okay?"

When she saw Jiang Chuan appear, Mrs. Sugimoto's face blushed even more and she nodded.

"Much better. Although I still need to rest, I have almost recovered. This is all thanks to you, Mr. Jiang Chuan..."

Hearing her thanks, Jiang Chuan smiled and waved his hand.

"It's all thanks to you. I just took out a few boxes of medicine. Kenta-kun is lucky to have a mother like you."

Mrs. Sugimoto shook her head but said nothing more.

The air between the two of them fell into an odd silence again.

Jiang Chuan looked at Mrs. Sugimoto, and a question mark gradually appeared above his head.

What’s going on? Why aren’t you talking?

Did she come to Ando's house specifically to find me just to say thank you?

It's really weird and strange.

However, just when Jiang Chuan was feeling puzzled, Mrs. Sugimoto finally raised her head. Her blushing mature cheeks made Jiang Chuan's heart tremble slightly.

"Also, there is one more thing..."

really.

As Mrs. Sugimoto spoke, she reached into her pocket and took out a small, shiny object. As Jiang Chuan looked somewhat stunned, she placed it in his palm.

Jiang Chuan looked at the thing in his hand, a little dazed for a moment.

This is a key.

"Eh? Mrs. Sugimoto, why are you giving me this..."

However, before Jiang Chuan could finish his words, Mrs. Sugimoto suddenly took two steps forward, and Jiang Chuan immediately felt that the milky aroma in the air suddenly became stronger.

She raised her rosy cheeks, and her beautiful eyes, which were shining with a mysterious light for some reason, looked at Jiang Chuan and spoke slowly.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, you have really helped me so much during this period. I really don't know how to thank you."

"After thinking about it, I feel that I have no choice but to give this to you."

"This is the spare key to my house... If you are free in the future, you can always come to my house and have a meal... or something like that."

As Mrs. Sugimoto spoke, her voice became lower and lower, and finally she even lowered her head, making it impossible for Jiang Chuan to see her expression.

The woman who originally had a strong character has now turned into a shy little girl. This contrast immediately made Jiang Chuan feel a little nervous again.

But when he looked at the spare key in his hand, he felt somewhat complicated.

Well, for Mrs. Sugimoto, who had experienced harassment, this small key was enough to express her trust and gratitude in herself.

But this is indeed slightly different from the "reward" he expected.

But it’s better this way. After all, what Jiang Chuan lacks the least is patience.

He put the key in his pocket, smiled at Mrs. Sugimoto and said, "Thank you very much. I will visit you often. I will trouble you when the time comes."

"No trouble."

"Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

"Well, then that's fine. I'd better go back."

Jiang Chuan smiled and didn't force him to stay. He nodded and said, "Okay, then be careful on the road."

After saying that, he was about to close the door.

However, a beautiful lady's foot in sandals suddenly reached into the door, blocking Jiang Chuan's movements.

"Wait a moment!"

"Eh? This is dangerous...Mrs. Sugimoto, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Sugimoto's sudden movement startled Jiang Chuan, and he almost couldn't stop himself and almost trapped Mrs. Sugimoto's foot.

"Please wait a moment, I have something else to say."

"..."

Jiang Chuan looked at Mrs. Sugimoto and gradually developed a strange premonition in his heart.

Could it be that……

To be honest, ever since Jiang Chuan's knee-rest time with her, the relationship between them has always been a little awkward.

The reason, after all, is Mrs. Sugimoto's overly solid bottom line. After all, as a married woman, there are some lines that she cannot cross.

Even Jiang Chuan, the man who saved her time and time again, couldn't do it.

But now... could it be that her bottom line has loosened?

This thought appeared in his mind unconsciously, causing Jiang Chuan to swallow his saliva subconsciously.

Mrs. Sugimoto took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Because I've been taking care of Kenta recently, I haven't been able to get enough rest."

"I will probably sleep soundly tonight. I hope no one will disturb me..."

After saying that, Mrs. Sugimoto bowed to Jiang Chuan, turned around and left.

Jiang Chuan felt his heart pounding faster and faster.

He looked at Mrs. Sugimoto's back and felt that all the blood in his body was gradually gathering in one part of his body, making the Autobot leader taller than ever before.

--------

After returning home, Mrs. Sugimoto first checked on Kenta's condition. After confirming that he was stable, she returned to the living room alone.

She slowly sat down on the sofa, and after a moment, picked up a photo frame from the coffee table.

In the frame was a photo of a young couple.

The woman in the photo looked very young. Although she had bangs that looked a bit rustic, she had a very pretty appearance, not to mention a majestic figure that did not match her age.

If Jiang Chuan were to see it, he would probably be able to easily recognize that the woman in the photo is Mrs. Sugimoto when she was young.

The man next to her was wearing a pair of thick silver-rimmed glasses and a neat T-shirt. He was not very tall and was rather thin, but the expression on his face was calm and gentle.

If I were to describe it, it's like when you graduated from college, participated in campus recruitment and found your first job in life, and reported to the company with a nervous mood on the day. You followed the HR lady and introduced yourself all morning around the company, and then sat nervously at your workstation until after lunch break, when the kind senior patted you on the back, told you not to be nervous, and took you downstairs for lunch.

This is probably the kind of man that has this kind of vibe.

Mrs. Sugimoto looked at the man in the photo, and the expression in her eyes gradually changed from sadness and guilt to relief.

She made her own choice after all.

Although the little bit of persistence that remained prevented her from conveying her thoughts directly to Jiang Chuan, but a key and a hint, what difference is there between the effect of these two combined and saying it directly?

In the final analysis, it is just self-deception.

Just like she had been doing throughout.

…………

"Brother-in-law, can I still go to your room tonight?"

After dinner, Ando Fuyuko came to Jiang Chuan for the first time and whispered something that surprised Jiang Chuan.

"Uh...are you not feeling uncomfortable anymore?"

"Well, after a day's rest, I'm fine now. To be honest... I want to try again..."

"Ahem, well, Dongzi-chan, why don't you take a good rest today? There's still a lot of time left, and we'll have plenty of opportunities to play together."

"... Could it be that, brother-in-law, you have plans tonight?"

Seeing the sour look gradually appearing on Ando Fuyuko's face, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt a headache.

When she talked about the relationship between herself and her sister, Jiang Chuan vaguely felt that Ando Fuyuko was born with a tendency to be jealous, otherwise she would not have been competitive with Ando Haruyuki, with whom she grew up.

However, just when Jiang Chuan was having a headache about how to deal with Ando Fuyuko, Ando Haruyuki also appeared and helped Jiang Chuan out.

"No, Dongzi, he's usually very busy. I'll tell you in advance when he has time, okay?"
