Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5813 The Newly Opened Business

I'm afraid I'll suffer a loss.

……

Now it seems……

They were somewhat moved, realizing that the power of liking something is indeed strong.

The child was willing to go out alone just for the sake of the goldfish.

This surprised them.

Also very happy.

Although they didn't quite understand...

Just how beautiful are the goldfish in the grocery store...?

It's astonishing that such a timid child would be willing to go out alone unless absolutely necessary.

They said they were willing to take the child to the flower and bird market to buy goldfish...
The child didn't agree either.

He just wanted to catch the little goldfish in the general store.

……

Since the child has this idea, they naturally follow the child's lead.

They think it's a good thing that this can encourage children to go out on their own.

They even hoped the child wouldn't catch the goldfish so quickly...

……

Later they realized they had been overthinking it.

The child couldn't catch the goldfish at all.

For a child, having three fishing nets is practically useless.

The children complained to them about how thin and easily broken the fishing nets were.

We hope to have more fishing nets.

I hope I can catch a fish.

……

Parents' natural reaction is to encourage their children.

It also helps children to relax and treat the goldfish with a normal attitude.

It's great that the child was able to catch the goldfish.

We couldn't get it out...
Nothing.

It's just a little goldfish.

The child likes it...

They could absolutely buy it for their child.

They knew the grocery store didn't sell goldfish.

……

The child told them.

They were touched by the affection between the old man and his wife.

Because these were goldfish that his wife had carefully selected before she passed away, he did not want them to be sold as commodities.

Instead, he maintained the practices his wife had made before her death.

Use a little game to bring the goldfish home.

It's a very warm and romantic approach.

They respected the elderly person's request.

……

However, goldfish aren't only available in grocery stores.

The goldfish in the grocery store were also bought from elsewhere.

They can take their children to buy goldfish elsewhere.

……

As for the child's insistence...

After repeated failures...

Even the most persistent efforts can crumble.

……

The child's parents both felt that the child wouldn't last long.

……

The child felt both nervous and excited as he went to the grocery store alone for the first time.

She arrived safely.

Great.

The child felt very capable.

It was worth it to spend all that time memorizing the route before going to bed last night.

I repeat the same route from home to the grocery store over and over again.

……

With the success of the first time, the child became more familiar with the process the second time.

……

The child is used to the way to the grocery store.

I've gotten used to the grocery store.

Including the old man in the grocery store who looks fierce but is actually a very kind person.

The goldfish that I could never catch in the grocery store.

Every time I go, I see the uncle squatting by the water basin.

And every time he failed to catch fish, the old man would take out a "mountain" of lollipops and let her choose one.

……

I'm used to it...

The discord between the old man and the uncle.

They both seemed to be pretending not to see each other.

They ignored each other.

No one is looking at anyone else.

The child thinks the adults are so childish.

Even if we argue...

How can you argue for so long?

……

The child had tried to ease the tension between the old man and the uncle.

Unfortunately.

She failed.

The old man seemed very serious every time he listened to her talk about her uncle, but he never seemed to take it seriously.

She couldn't explain it...

The old man looked at her and listened to her speak...

Her voice became softer and softer.

She didn’t know why…

An unease was spreading silently in my heart.

……

The child gave up.

She couldn't resolve the relationship between the old man and the uncle. That's it.

……

The child quickly got used to the discord between the old man and the uncle.

After all, they simply ignored each other.

There was no argument.

The child thinks this way...

Not too bad.

Although she didn't understand...

Her uncle saved her.

My uncle is a good person.

The old man gave her gifts, gave her lollipops, and let her play catching goldfish...

They also helped her contact her parents.

The old man was a good person too.

……

They're all good people...

Why……

The child couldn't understand.

I just think adults are really hard to understand.

……

The child can't remember how many times he has failed.

Countless failures...

The child gradually went from being irritable, annoyed, and resentful to calming down, or rather, becoming numb.

The child felt that she probably wouldn't be able to give the goldfish to her uncle.

She even considered asking her uncle... if it wasn't the little goldfish from the grocery store?
Or she could simply buy goldfish and give them to her uncle...

Do not ask.

If Uncle accepts it, it means he accepts something other than the goldfish from the grocery store.

Wouldn't this be better...?

After all, she should ask her uncle...

She couldn't bring herself to ask.

She didn't dare ask.

……

The child thought about it a lot.

Yet they still lacked the courage to break with convention.

She still comes to the grocery store every weekend if she has nothing else to do.

Three fishing nets were used.

Eat a lollipop.

Then leave.

……

To her relief...

My uncle has always been here.

She didn't know that her uncle came to the grocery store every day.

Or does she come to the grocery store on holidays, just like her?
Uncle clearly doesn't like the old man.

The uncle ignored the old man...

Although the old man ignored the uncle...

Why does my uncle keep coming to the grocery store?
because……

Do you love the goldfish at the general store too much?

……

The child was somewhat amazed by his uncle's affection.

Although she also thought the goldfish in the grocery store were pretty.

But to ask her to come here to someone she doesn't like just for the sake of the goldfish...

She can't do it.

……

Uncle can do it...

Really great.

The old man is amazing too.

They are willing to let people they don't like come to their store.

But the old man wouldn't give the uncle the fishing net.

Uncle was envious of the little goldfish.

……

Well.

So it seems like the old man dislikes the uncle a little more?
But the old man still let the uncle into his shop...

The child shook his head.

Forget it.

Can't figure it out.

forget about it.

She was thinking about it so much that her head was starting to ache.

……

That day, the child was on his way to the grocery store.

She was almost as familiar with this road as she was with the road to school.

……

The child who was walking with his head down turned his head.

here……

A while ago, I also set up a goldfish scooping stall.

She was surprised when she first saw it.

There were quite a lot of onlookers on the first day.

After hesitating for a long time, she did not go over.

I only watched from a distance for a while.

Hearing the regretful cries coming from the other side.

She was very familiar with the voice.

Because she always makes that sound too.

Every time the little goldfish poked a hole in the fishing net...

……

Ever since the goldfish scooping stall was set up there, my child can't help but stop and watch for a while every time we pass by.

So far, it seems no one has successfully caught the goldfish.

The child was amazed.

The old man was right after all; she wasn't stupid...

This game is just that difficult.
