Shoko Toyokawa was wearing a chiffon dress. The girl put on light makeup, deliberately making herself look mature, which better matched Liu Hao's temperament.
"Yes."
Su Shi, on the other hand, was dressed simply and did not look like a city lady at all. She seemed like a fresh, mature and simple girl, trying her best to make Liu Hao's grandparents feel close to her at first sight.
"It's one thing to be unaccustomed to it, but it's also polite for us to bring gifts. You can't interfere with this, Liu Jun~"
Liu Hao had no choice. He had already bought the things, so he couldn't let the girls take them back, right?
Besides, not everyone brought a gift. Aiyin nudged Li Xi with her elbow and whispered, "Why didn't you remind me to prepare a gift?"
Li Xi said speechlessly, "How would I know that I would need to be reminded of such things? Isn't this basic etiquette?"
"..."
Aiyin twisted her hair and smiled awkwardly, wondering whether she should talk to Liu Hao and let her go back to buy some things.
Chu Hua was wearing her usual casual clothes, without any special make-up. The girl looked at the rural scenery on both sides of the road. It could be said that it had nothing in common with the island where she was from. However, the atmosphere of loneliness and leisure, numbness and vitality was similar to that of the fishing village where she was from.
The countryside wind blew through Chuhua's brilliant golden hair. The girl adjusted the deerstalker hat on her head and stared at the endless waves of rice in a daze.
Wakaba Mutsu and Takamatsu Touma's eyes were also filled with curiosity.
Ruoye Mu finally arrived at the free land she had longed for. She looked here and there with brisk steps. Even if it was a piece of corn flattened on the road, the girl squatted down to look at it carefully with interest. She was curious to see rows of ants working on it. Ruoye Mu's eyes brightened instantly.
Gao Songdeng's eyes were also full of novelty. There was a bird's nest built on the electric pole by the roadside, and there was the sound of some insect squeaking and calling. A frog or something jumped out from the shadow and jumped into the ditch by the roadside. Deng wanted to chase it, but he didn't see clearly and almost fell in.
"careful!"
Fortunately, Liu Hao was quick-witted and quickly grabbed Gao Songdeng's armpits and pulled the girl back, without even bothering to touch her soft and plump side snowballs.
"Thank you, thank you."
Gao Songdeng's cute little face was slightly red, and her heart was beating fast because of the physical contact.
"It's okay. Remember to watch your step. It's easy to get hurt in the countryside... Lenai, the same goes for you. There's nothing to see in this kind of thing!"
Liu Hao didn't care about Deng's cute reaction, because Yao Lenai on the other side was even more weird. Maomao came to the trash can next to the platform and curiously observed the flies flying on the watermelon rind. When he heard what Liu Hao said, he couldn't stand the disgusting smell, so he wrinkled his nose and came back.
"I emphasize again, since you're here, you must follow my instructions in all your actions. There are many things to be careful of in the countryside, and if you're not careful, you could have safety problems. Since I brought you here, it's my responsibility to send you back safely."
Liu Hao gathered the girls together and said very seriously, "If I find anyone not paying attention to this and not following instructions, I will send her back immediately, especially you, Lenai. Do you understand?"
At this time, Lenai nodded obediently. Cats can be willful sometimes, but they are still decisive when they need to be serious.
"Also, although my place isn't particularly backward, the conditions are limited. My family's conditions in the village aren't particularly good. We don't have air conditioning, there are very few empty rooms, and there are a lot of mosquitoes, rats, and ants. You won't be able to handle the heat and could easily get a heat stroke. If you have any problems, don't force yourself to do it. Tell me right away. There's nothing shameful about it."
"Finally, my grandfather is a bit concerned about reputation, and my grandmother is a bit conservative, but they are both very good people. If I have offended you in any way, I apologize in advance. Please don't take it to heart. Of course, if you offend them, don't blame me for being angry."
Liu Hao was like an old nanny, patiently reminding people of the precautions. It was mainly because of her sense of responsibility that she could ignore other things, but safety was the top priority.
"Don't worry, we're not children anymore." Su Shi said gently, "Besides, we'll pay attention to respecting our elders without you having to remind us."
"That's it. Don't worry~"
"I will definitely be obedient!"
Finally, amidst everyone's excitement and nervousness, a dark-skinned old man drove a cargo electric tricycle and stopped in front of the station.
"Grandpa!"
Liu Hao suppressed the longing and excitement in his heart. Looking at his grandfather's wrinkled face when he smiled, and the fact that he looked energetic and healthy despite his hunched back, he felt relieved.
"It's good to have you back, kid. You've gained some weight, which is good. You were too thin before."
Grandpa smiled as he looked at his proud grandson in front of him, his joy was beyond words. But when he saw the eight beautiful and lovely girls behind Liu Hao, each with their own unique charm, his smile became even more satisfied and happy.
"Great! My kid has made it big, bringing back eight girls at once! Great! That's great!"
"Ahem, grandpa, don't misunderstand me. These are my classmates. They can understand Chinese, but they just can't speak it very well. Let me introduce them to you—"
Liu Hao briefly introduced the eight girls to his grandfather. Naturally, the old man couldn't remember his name, but when he heard the eight girls calling him "Grandpa" one after another and bringing him gifts, he smiled so hard that his eyebrows were almost wrinkled into his eyes.
"Okay! You're all good kids! Hurry up and get in the car. It's very sunny here. We've got some ice cream in the well at home."
The car had been cleaned and there wasn't much smell left. Most of the girls were petite, so there was no problem squeezing in.
Sitting on a bumpy tricycle on the cement road in the countryside is a very novel experience for the girls.
Along the way, even Aiyin was curiously asking questions. Often, before Liu Hao could answer, her grandfather would ask Liu Hao to translate. He would then very patiently explain to the girls the names of the trees, whose ancient buildings were their former residences, and where the brick kiln that chimney was from...
Liu Hao also understood why his grandfather wanted to wear this new white shirt. The old man has always been like this. He only cares about face.
"Grandpa, this road seems to lead to the back of the village, right?"
"The water level in front of the village has risen, and it's difficult to walk on the bridge."
"This isn't the way home, is it?"
"I borrowed the village chief, Lao Li's car, so I had to go around and tell him. I can't lose my manners."
Grandpa always had an excuse to respond to Liu Hao's questions. Finally, he saw someone he knew on the side of the road noticed him driving his grandson and a car full of beautiful girls. The old man smiled even happier.
【I knew it……】
Liu Hao covered his forehead. This was one of the reasons why he didn't want so many people to come. It wasn't shameful, but it was a bit awkward after all.
Volume 335: Chapter Chapter The whole village is full of elders who know the dark history
"Old Hao, our village's top scholar is back?"
"We just brought him back. We originally wanted him to study hard in the provincial capital, as he had to participate in some competition in the second half of the year, but he insisted on coming back to see us. There was nothing we could do."
"Hey, why are there so many beautiful girls?"
"Hey, they're all my kid's classmates, international students who insisted on coming here to experience life. What good things are there in the countryside? I guess it's because my kid is so outstanding. Now killing two chickens for lunch might not even be enough... Good kid, why don't you call anyone?"
Liu Hao didn't know how many times he stood up with a shameless face and called out obediently, "Hello, Uncle Li."
"Hey, the good boy in our village is getting more and more handsome. Did he come back with a wife?"
A middle-aged man carrying a hoe was walking side by side with a tricycle that was deliberately slowing down. He looked at Liu Hao with his simple yellow teeth.
"No, Uncle Li, stop joking."
"What are you kidding? You're tall, handsome, and good at studying. You're worthy of her even if she's a foreign student."
"...It's really not that great, it was just a fluke."
"You're so modest. My little son still has to ask you if he doesn't understand his homework."
"Don't worry, Uncle Li, you can ask me anytime."
After Liu Hao and Uncle Li exchanged greetings with Aunt Zhang, Third Master's Wife, Uncle Zhou, Aunt Xu and others whom they had met before, the tricycle started to accelerate and Liu Hao was able to sit down again.
Chihaya Aine nudged Liu Hao's ankle with her foot and said with a smile, "You all are very interesting people. It feels like we've come to the right place."
"Sure enough, we should come and see where Liu-kun grew up~"
Su Shi teased softly, and Xiangzi sat aside and smiled silently. Seeing Liu Hao looking so obedient and helpless, he felt that it was definitely worth it to put aside his work and come here temporarily because he was thick-skinned and blushed so many times in just a few minutes.
Chu Hua teased, "After all, he's tall, handsome, and good at studying."
Xiangzi continued the conversation, saying, "With one dive, he can swim dozens of meters."
Li Xi suppressed his laughter and said, "Your head is hard enough to smash rocks."
Ruoye Mu repeated what Xu Ganma had just said in a cute tone: "Even when he sucks on his pacifier, he sucks harder than others."
"Pfft, hahahaha——"
Aiyin couldn't help laughing, and the other girls also laughed one after another. Especially Su Shi, she glanced at Liu Hao with a charming look. After all, she could empathize with Liu Hao in this kind of thing. Liu Hao was really trying hard.
Only Liu Hao blushed, clenched his hands and said, "Stop talking, stop talking... If you say anything more, I'll kill you!"
However, the more Liu Hao resisted, the more excited the girls became and the happier they laughed.
There was no way, Liu Hao had probably anticipated such a scene.
In Tokyo, he is the absolute core of the girls. Two major bands and an idol group are almost all carried by him alone. His status is self-evident.
But in the village, Liu Hao is just a junior with no say. They are all neighbors and fellow villagers, and many of them have helped their family before.
Almost all the uncles and godmothers knew a little bit of his dark childhood history. Even if they meant well and wanted to help speak well of Liu Hao in front of female classmates, it was a very scary thing. After all, simple country people didn't have so many adjectives. In addition to appearance and study, even the hard sucking on the pacifier when he was a child could be used to praise others, proving that this kid was no ordinary person since he was a child.
In addition, my grandfather is a very proud person, so he is almost certain to make the matter public. He has almost circled the village and talked to everyone he can. It is estimated that my grandmother may be the last person in the village to know that Liu Hao has returned with eight girls.
"Forget it, it's just embarrassing in front of beautiful girls. I know their dark history anyway, so let's just call it even..."
"What's going on?!"
Grandpa heard the girls' laughter in the back and thought there was some problem, so he turned around and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay. The countryside scenery makes them feel happier, that's all."
Liu Hao looked around, even Lenai was smiling a little foolishly, only Gao Songdeng was blinking his eyes, not knowing whether he didn't follow everyone's thoughts or what, he just curled the corners of his mouth, and after noticing Liu Hao's gaze, he lowered his head shyly.
She is still a lamp. Unlike these bad women, she is a pure good girl.
Finally, after going around half of the village with my grandfather, I went to a small store to buy a bottle of soy sauce and a can of mineral water, picked up some medicine "by the way" at the infirmary, and picked a bunch of beans from Aunt Zhang's house at the far corner of the village... and so on. The tricycle stopped in front of the vegetable field that Liu Hao was familiar with, but the building behind the vegetable field seemed a little unfamiliar to him.
"This... is our home?"
Liu Hao looked at the four-story building in front of him with some confusion. The cement floor at the door was surrounded by the brick wall commonly seen in rural areas to form a small courtyard. The two-story tiled house in his memory was expanded by two floors, and there was a pointed roof on the top. The facade was a classic countryside mixture of red and green white tiles and blue opaque staircase glass, which was both rustic and luxurious. Some places were beautiful, while some places were dirty and old. There was even an air-conditioning outdoor unit. Although the architectural style was similar to that of many houses in the village, it was completely different from the shabby appearance when Liu Hao left home during the Spring Festival.
"Yes, the construction team from the village helped with it. My family contributed a little, the village borrowed some, and Boss Zhang's family also contributed a little."
Grandpa was a little embarrassed at first, then he said indignantly, "You don't know, the grandson of the old Dong from the village next door, who only got a first-class university, actually had someone build a four-story building to suppress our village's fortune. How can our village tolerate this? We finally asked you to change our village's feng shui, how can we let them suppress us?"
"..."
Liu Hao had no choice. The younger generation actually no longer had such feudal ideas, but the older generation was still somewhat superstitious. In a sense, the feelings in the village were also maintained by this clan superstition. Otherwise, there would be no bosses who made a fortune outside and came back to the village to patronize.
"Grandpa, please tell me who borrowed the money from you so I can come over to thank you and pay you back."
"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Just study hard. The money your father paid you is for you to marry a wife in the future!"
Grandpa reprimanded Liu Hao in a rare and stern manner. Then, taking the opportunity to get out of the car and open the door, he pulled Liu Hao aside and whispered, "Tell me the truth, do foreigners ask for higher betrothal gifts? How much do they ask for?"
"what?"
Liu Hao didn't expect his grandfather's thoughts to be so jumpy, and he couldn't help but glance at the girls who were pulling each other down from the car.
I guess not only will there be no need for a dowry, but you may even be paid for it?
Volume 336: Chapter 4 Chapter Another Meaning of Training (K)
The yard door opened, and Dahuang, who had been barking for a long time, rushed out with his tongue hanging out. After being kicked by his grandfather, he still circled around Liu Hao's legs enthusiastically, making Liu Hao squat down and rub Dahuang's head affectionately.
Dahuang was still the same as before, the most perceptive big yellow dog. He was not fierce at all in front of the strange girls, but barked and wagged his tail enthusiastically. After Chuhua boldly touched his head, Xiangzi and Ruoye Mu also touched them one by one. Being toyed with by so many beautiful girls made Dahuang's eyes almost go crazy with joy.
It's true that a dog is like its owner... Bah, I, Liu Hao, am an upright gentleman, how could I raise a lecherous dog like you, bringing shame to my master!
However, when Su Shi squatted down and wanted to touch it, Da Huang shook his tail and ran away to Gao Songdeng's side.
"..."
Su Shi glanced at Liu Hao with some grievance, as if saying that your dog bullied me.
Xiangzi jokingly said, "A dog's sense of smell is countless times more sensitive than a human's. I guess it's because the essential oil on your body is too fragrant, Su Shi, and the dog doesn't like it."
It wasn't that Shoko Toyokawa had any ill intentions, but she and Su Shi were used to verbal battles, and seizing opportunities had become their instinct. Although harmless, Su Shi always had a higher momentum.
"Humph!"
Su Shi snorted lightly and looked at Liu Hao for help. After seeing the boy she liked silently lip-read "Dogs don't like it, so I like it", the girl suddenly became happy again and decided to beat Xiangzi in the next meeting with his parents.
"Your family is not as bad as you say. You are just putting eye drops on us!"
Aiyin looked at the yard in front of her. In the corner was a chicken coop leading to the outside. On one side was a grape trellis made of rattan. There were a few rattan chairs underneath for cooling off. There was also a tabby cat lying lazily on the rattan chair. Unlike the silly Da Huang, the tabby cat opened and closed its eyes, arrogantly ignoring the beautiful girls.
Newly harvested peanuts were drying in the open space on the other side. Onions and peppers were planted in a row of flower beds along the corner of the wall. Sparrows were peeking out from the top of the wall, and they would only fly away when someone got very close.
In fact, it is just a very ordinary rural scenery. But for these beautiful girls who grew up in the city, this scenery is different from the city and the Japanese countryside. Everything is new.
"I can only say that you are lucky."
Liu Hao helped the girls unload their luggage from the car, and then helped Grandpa sort out the farm tools leaning against the wall. He asked, "Where's Grandma? Is she in the kitchen?"
"I guess he's still upstairs tidying up your room... Old lady, the good boy and his classmates are here, you should come down and greet them first."
After grandpa looked up and shouted, a slightly plump elderly person wearing an apron and a dark purple coat soon came down. There were many people in the yard, but she saw the tallest Liu Hao at a glance.
⑨㈣瓢々㈡△+肆馓糤—)0〉∽悟中}转》〖群÷〗: "Grandma!"
"Okay, okay, my good boy is back!"
Grandma's dark, rough skin was wrinkled with smiles. After Liu Hao approached, she held her grandson's hand tightly and looked him up and down. "You seem to be a little whiter than before, but you've lost weight. Are you saving money and not eating well outside again? I told you not to save money, but we're not short of money at home."
