How to raise a random guy's wife

Having received a definite answer, Ran Kobayashi immediately began to carefully compare them, looking at this one, touching that one, and choosing her favorite.

"So..." Kobayashi Megumi nudged Kobayashi Sora, "Did something happen?"

Do you remember "Bicycle H&H"?

"The one where someone suddenly appears and beats up your childhood friend? Eriri even drew a 24-page doujinshi about it."

"That's the one." Kobayashi Sora was somewhat surprised, after all, it had been nine years. "You remember it so clearly?"

Chapter 791 The Past of the Old House

"That was the first time I watched anime with a classmate, and then I witnessed the birth of doujinshi." Kobayashi Megumi's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Do you need me to help you recall those lively discussions you had with her?"

"Ah...it was out of necessity at the time." Kobayashi Sora paused. "Because of the subject matter of that anime, one of the related products was bicycles, which is considered a rather unique collaborative product in the industry."

"It's not just unique, it's practically rare!" Store Manager Sakata corrected. "How many pieces of merchandise this practical have you ever seen?"

“That’s what you said back then,” Kobayashi Sora sighed. “I still have to thank you for reminding me and for helping me study the rules of the flash sale for a long time, which allowed me to make a fortune.”

"I only helped you because you like anime as much as I do!" Sakata gritted his teeth in anger. "But you snatched the goods and resold them... I ended up not being able to buy any."

Kobayashi Sora remembered it clearly: "Didn't you buy one?"

"One isn't enough! Three is the minimum!" Sakata complained. "But by the time I wanted to buy a second and a third, the prices had skyrocketed..."

“Don’t keep one part for yourself, one part for your collection, and one part for spreading the word.” Kobayashi Sora looked around. “I really didn’t expect your obsession to run so deep.”

“Because there was only one, of course I had to take good care of it.” Sakata recalled that time. “In order to use one car for personal collection and preaching, I learned a lot of related knowledge. At first, it was maintenance, then repair, and finally all kinds of parts. When I came to my senses, I had become an expert and opened a shop. From this perspective, I should thank you.”

"You're welcome, it's what I should do."

"You're still the same as before!" Sakata sighed. "But after starting work, I've gradually realized the importance of money. Whether it's the bicycle shop or the animation business, we need money to keep going."

"But money is only enough to keep things going. Whether it's a bicycle shop with such a good reputation or an animation with a good reputation..." Kobayashi Sora added, "it all requires the power of passion."

“I just don’t want you to tell me this kind of thing.” Sakata smiled with relief. “But now your company is also producing animation. I’ve seen ‘Your Name’ and ‘Mononoke’. It seems you’ve also found the power of passion.”

Kobayashi Sora looked in her daughter's direction and said, "Lanlan has never ridden a bike before. Let's add training wheels for her."

"Your child is so grown up now," Sakata said with some emotion. "I thought you would be alone for the rest of your life."

“What a coincidence.” Kobayashi Sora grasped Kobayashi Megumi’s hand. “That’s what I was thinking too.”

Megumi Kobayashi skillfully slipped her fingers between Sora Kobayashi's fingers, allowing her to better feel the warmth of his palm.

“Oh, right,” Kobayashi Sora remembered, “children grow so fast, should we choose a bigger one?”

"For beginners, it's best to choose a size that fits well, as it will greatly help in standardizing your movements," Sakata suggested. "Since we're family, how about choosing items in the same color family?"

"The color..." Kobayashi Sora looked in her daughter's direction, "Let's see what Lanlan thinks."

Xiaolin Lan turned around and pointed to a car hanging on the wall, "Lanlan wants this."

Kobayashi Megumi approached and said, "This one is for adults."

"If Lanlan tries her best..."

“Even if you try, you have to grow up slowly.” Kobayashi Megumi looked at the bicycle, which was obviously a professional one. “Besides, this one doesn’t have a basket, so I can’t put anything in it.”

"Then you don't have to put anything in it..."

“Hmm…” Kobayashi Megumi gave an example, “Think about it, when we go out to collect stones, and then ride our bikes back, if there’s nowhere to put the stones, we can only carry them on our person.”

Ran Kobayashi thought of the weight of the stone, "That must have been really tough..."

"How about this one?" Kobayashi Megumi led her daughter to the other side. "It's small and cute, and it even has a basket to carry things."

"Is a stone okay?"

"of course can."

"Where are the snacks?"

"It can hold a lot."

"Then I want this one... no, I want this pink one!" Ran Kobayashi chose her favorite color.

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

Sakata gloated, "Now I recommend matching colors even more."

Kobayashi Sora glanced at him. "Could your malice be any more obvious?"

"What does it matter? How adorable!"

Kobayashi Sora thought about what she would look like riding a pink bicycle...

It doesn't seem to work either.

After all, there aren't many colored parts on a bicycle.

After carefully selecting their bicycles, the family of three pushed the pink bicycles home.

Ran Kobayashi looked at the spinning wheels and asked, "Why don't we just ride back?"

"Because Lanlan can't ride yet," Kobayashi Megumi explained, "so we have to push her back slowly."

"But it looks very simple."

Ran Kobayashi's pink bicycle is equipped with training wheels, so there's not much to worry about her falling over.

“Riding a bike isn’t difficult, but riding it well requires a lot of learning,” Kobayashi Sora explained further. “If you want to ride a bicycle on the road, you need to master the corresponding rules.”

"Like what the teacher taught in class? Pay attention to the lights and cars?"

“That’s right, there are many more things to pay attention to when riding a bike,” Kobayashi Megumi encouraged. “You can only officially ride a bike on the road once Lanlan has learned how.

"It seems like many things aren't easy," Ran Kobayashi patted the car seat. "Let's wait a little longer~"

The next day, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi took the eager Kobayashi Ran to the park to practice.

After Kobayashi Sora explained some precautions in detail, and through Kobayashi Megumi's refinement and summary, Kobayashi Ran understood what she should do and began her first attempt.

With the help of the training wheels, the skills that Ran Kobayashi needs to master are very simple.

Somewhat clumsily she pedaled, feeling her body propelled by the bicycle, moving forward in a more relaxed way than usual, and a highly infectious joy appeared on Xiaolin Lan's face.

Megumi Kobayashi watched her daughter ring the bicycle bell and thought, "She really does need to try new things."

Kobayashi Sora kept a close eye on her daughter's situation, thinking, "It's much easier than I expected."

Kobayashi Megumi guessed, "After all, Lanlan has practiced some dance, so it should still be helpful."

Ran Kobayashi often sticks to Chisato Arashi. Although she didn't deliberately learn, she has picked up a few dance moves from her surroundings and has quite good balance.

After riding for a while, and gradually mastering how to control the bicycle, Xiaolinlan turned her head and waved her little hand, "Mom and Dad, look—ah!"

Chapter 792 In the blink of an eye

boom!

Even with training wheels, you can still fall if you turn too sharply.

Ran Kobayashi fell to the ground, her bicycle lay overturned to one side, its wheels still spinning.

Kobayashi Sora rushed over, "Lanlan!"

"Ugh..." Xiaolin Lan was clearly stunned by the fall. She propped herself up with her hands and sat up. Only when she heard Xiaolin Kongqing calling her did she come to her senses. Her gaze fell on her scraped arm, and her big eyes blinked twice before tears began to well up. "Daddy! Waaaaaah! Daddy!"

Kobayashi Sora hugged Kobayashi Ran and squeezed her arm. Finding no obvious problems, she felt a little relieved. "Sweetie~" she gently patted Kobayashi Ran's back and comforted her softly, "It's okay if you cry it out."

"Waaaaah...it hurts so much..." Xiao Linlan hugged her father, having just been somewhat restrained, but now she completely let loose, "It hurts so much..."

Kobayashi Sora felt a little like crying when she heard this.

Feeling that her daughter had released most of her emotions, Kobayashi Megumi wiped away her tears and asked, "Where exactly does it hurt?"

"Waaah... Ugh..." Xiaolin Lan cried twice, sniffling, "It's just... um..."

Falling off a bike will definitely hurt.

However, the height of the children's stroller is limited, and as a beginner, Xiaolin Lan is not fast, so a fall wouldn't hurt much.

Having just cried for a while, which released my emotions and also distracted me, the area that was originally very painful doesn't hurt as much anymore.

When her mother asked, Xiaolinlan couldn't immediately tell where she felt pain.

Seeing the scrapes on her arm, Lin Lan pointed to them with teary eyes, "It hurts here..."

"How about letting Mom take a look?"

"Um......"

Megumi Kobayashi checked Ran Kobayashi's joints and helped her move them a couple of times. "Hmm, it's just a scrape, is it a soothing scab?"

"I'll go get it." Although she didn't want her daughter to get hurt, Kobayashi Sora prepared a medical kit just in case.

"Next, Mom will help you treat your wound," Kobayashi Megumi explained beforehand, "It might hurt a little."

"Hmm..." Ran Kobayashi hid her arm behind her back, "Actually, it doesn't hurt that much..."

"You need to take good care of the wound so it will heal quickly," Kobayashi Sora patiently advised. "Otherwise, it will hurt for a long time afterward."

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Ran was still a little hesitant.

Kobayashi Megumi pointed to the bicycle lying on the ground beside her, "If the wound isn't treated properly, it won't heal, and I won't be able to continue riding the bicycle."

Xiaolin Lan held out her injured arm to her mother, "It still hurts a little..."

"Mom will wash the dirt out of your wound first," Kobayashi Megumi said, taking the saline solution from Kobayashi Sora and rinsing the wound to remove the dirt. "How is it? Does it hurt?"

"A little..." Xiao Linlan found it didn't hurt as much as she had imagined. "It feels cool."

After the dust was washed away, the bright red wound was even more conspicuous on Xiaolin Lan's fair arm, which made Xiaolin Kongqing feel heartbroken.

Kobayashi Megumi dipped some iodine in a gauze pad, "and then used the iodine to disinfect."

Ran Kobayashi asked curiously, "What's this for?"

"It's something that removes things that are hindering the wound from healing," Kobayashi Megumi reminded her. "Mommy should start applying it now."

Will this hurt a lot?

Kobayashi Megumi chuckled, "It should be bearable for a brave little kid."
