Is it okay not to want to work hard?

Chapter 54 A Person Has Two Kidneys

In the afternoon, Higashino Kanade painted.

In the morning, he was thinking of painting until the evening. However, after Zifang and Xiaoling had lunch and went to bed, he didn't want to sleep, and there was nothing else to do, so he could only paint.

Let me draw a New Year's Day picture as a benefit for comic fans.

Still sitting next to the kotatsu, he looked at the digital screen on the table, turning the pen in his right hand and thinking about how to draw.

Although the kotatsu was very warm, it was still quite cold outside the kotatsu, which made his hands a little stiff.

Suddenly, the phone on the table lit up and a message popped up.

When Higashino Kanade looked over, he saw that it was Ichichi Kouka who popped up in the LINE group.

What are you doing?

In less than three seconds, Goto Ichiri popped up.

【Practice guitar】

Goto Ichiri is very free at home. Sometimes he practices guitar, and when he has nothing to do, he still practices guitar.

If Dongye Zou could still ask her out to play during the summer vacation, he didn't ask her out to play during the winter vacation. It's not that he didn't want to, but there were a lot of things to do near the New Year, both in life and at work.

Things in life are not all difficult, but I have to go back to my hometown for New Year's Eve this year and the store is short-staffed and needs help; as for work, it's comics and annual meetings.

I haven't been back to my hometown for many years. I said I would go back every year, but I never went back.

But this year I have to go back no matter what to visit my grandparents.

Just like last year, he was thinking about whether he should bring Konata and Nozomi with him to celebrate the New Year there.

But he didn't know how to tell his parents, and why did he have to bring this recipe and glass for the New Year?

His relationship with Konata is no secret to his parents, and Nitro's... well, it seems not to be a secret either.

However, when he returned to his hometown, he brought two girls back with him. Isn't it strange? But he really wanted to show off in front of his relatives and their children. He didn't need to show off his relatives on his grandparents' side, after all, the relationship between relatives was very harmonious. He wanted to show off his grandparents' relatives. Although his grandparents were nice, those relatives were more abstract than one another.

All I can say is that the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and pigs.

In some families, the relationships among relatives are like enemies, while in some families, the relationships among relatives are extremely good.

If he hadn't felt that it was impossible, he would have wanted to bring Hongxia, Yili, and even Juli back to his hometown. He believed that his chaotic relationship would definitely be criticized by his relatives, but there would also be relatives who would envy and hate him.

Ask mom and dad tomorrow if he can take Konata and Naoko with him when he goes back. Konata doesn't need to make excuses, just say he wants to be with Konata. As for Naoko, well, first make an excuse saying that Naoko can't leave him and might be bullied at school, and then say he also wants to be with Naoko.

No matter what, he wants both. If it wasn't too much, he would take them all, including Ichiri, Nijika, and Kikuri. Oh, and Yuzuru.

In the LINE group, Ijichi Kouka and Goto Ichiri chatted for a while, and Nishimiya Naoko also popped up. Then everyone found out that the person who logged in was not Nishimiya Naoko, but Nishimiya Yuzuru who was playing with Nishimiya Naoko's phone.

Seeing Yuzuru Nishimiya appear, Higashino Kanade became interested and stopped painting. Instead, she chatted with Yuzuru, asking her what her sister was doing and asking her to help secretly ask Yuzuru if Nozomi was willing to go if he was going back to his hometown in China for a while, and whether she was willing to go either.

Higashino Kanade sent the inquiry message in the group. He did not hide it. He even pretended to ask Yili and Hongxia, but was rejected by them as expected. It was not that they did not want to, but they were all shy and embarrassed to agree.

Because once they agree, they will not only have to meet the parents, but also all of Xiaozou's elders and relatives. Then they will definitely become giant pandas in the zoo, surrounded by many people, who will not only watch them but also ask them all kinds of questions.

Neither Goto Ichiri nor Ijichi Kouka could accept such an experience. Especially Goto Ichiri, she was very worried that if such a scene happened, she would explode and destroy the entire earth.

Higashino Kanade felt a little disappointed when he saw Goto Ichiri and Ijichi Nijika refused. If Ichiri and Nijika were willing to go, he would convince his parents no matter what, even if they had to throw a tantrum on the ground, he would let them go.

[Ah, so unlucky, a kid asked for a red envelope]

In the group, Hiroi Kikuri appeared.

There was no Hiroi Kikuri in this group before, but one day something happened between Hiroi Kikuri and someone in this group and she joined the group.

【? 】

Higashino Kanade raised a question mark.

【? ? 】

[Isn't this as it should be? ]

Ijichi Kouka also asked questions. Hiroi Kikuri is an adult, and it is normal for her to give red envelopes to children from her relatives' families when she returns to her hometown.

[I don’t think this should happen]

[Only rich people are qualified to give red envelopes]

【And I am a poor ghost】

Hiroi Kikuri has a clear self-awareness. It has not been long since she found people to form a band again. She is short of money at the moment, and a trip back to her hometown requires an extra expense for no reason. She feels like her heart is bleeding.

[You still have two healthy kidneys]

Higashino Kanade's hands were cold, so the words he typed were also cold.

[No, I don't want to sell my kidney, it's my treasure! ]

Even if Hiroi Kikuri starved to death, she would never sell her kidney. At most, she would borrow money from Kozou, and if she couldn't pay it back, she would use her body to pay off the debt.

In the group, Hiroi Kikuri kept complaining about her relatives asking her all kinds of questions, first asking about her work, then asking about her love life. After knowing that she had a boyfriend, a look of disappointment flashed across her face, but soon she showed an interested expression and asked her what her boyfriend did.

It would be fine if it was just the questioning from relatives, but the noise and mischief from the relatives' children are the most annoying. They touch this even if they are told not to touch it, and they touch that even if they are told not to touch it.

Higashino Kanade laughed when he saw Hiroi Kikuri's complaints.

If it were him, he would never let the naughty child get too arrogant. Even if he was scolded by his family, he would discipline the annoying and unlucky naughty child. It was useless to simply scold the naughty child verbally. You had to beat them, beat them hard, hang them up, take off their pants, and beat them with a belt until they ran away when they saw you from a distance.

【I will be back the day after tomorrow! 】

Hiroi Kikuri couldn't stand it anymore. Not only was she annoyed by her relatives and their children, but her parents also disliked her. On the first day, they loved her, but on the second day, they disliked her because she didn't have a job and was still playing in a band. What they disliked the most was that she had found a boyfriend but didn't bring him home, and she wouldn't let them see their photos, which made them doubt whether her boyfriend existed.

Hiroi Kikuri was in deep pain, it was not that she did not have a photo of Higashino Kanade, but she did not dare to show it to her family, fearing that her parents would send her to the police station. When she was a minor, she was worried that she would meet a pervert who would attack minors, but she never thought that she would become such a pervert.

Chapter 55 Eat, eat, eat. People live just to eat.

【Does anyone want to go to the movies tonight? 】

In the LINE group, near dinner time, Higashino Kanade sent a message.

【What are you looking at? 】

Ichichi Hongxia asked.

【Jun's Love Story】

【Animated Movies】

【Hoshino knot】

Hoshino Yui, whom Higashino Kanade mentioned, is a very famous animation director who specializes in love animation movies, which focus on the depressing and healing love between a man and a woman. Either the lovers finally get married, or they break up and end up with no happy ending.

【What time is it? 】

Ijichi Hongxia asked about the time again. If it was too early, she would not be free, but if it was later, she would be free.

[Not decided yet, it depends on you]

Higashino Kanade did not confirm the time. Everyone had different dinner times, and he hoped to go to the movies with everyone after dinner.

He specifically asked someone in the group.

[Yili, are you coming? Let's celebrate the New Year together]

Higashino Kanade hopes Goto Ichiri can come. He went to see the movies of Korin and Konata, and it seems that Nijika is also free, and there is a high probability that Naoko can come. If Naoko can come, Yuzuru can come too. In this case, except for Kikuri who went back to her hometown, Ichiri will be the only one left.

I don’t have time

Goto Ichiri refused.

It started snowing outside in the afternoon and has not stopped yet.

In this kind of weather, she not only didn't want to go out, but also wanted to stay in the warm house to watch TV series. And if she went alone, Xiaozou would most likely come to pick her up, and when she came back, he would definitely send her off, which would be too much trouble for Xiaozou.

She didn't really want to go out, nor did she want to bother Xiaozou. Although she wanted to go, it was just a thought.

【That's fine】

Higashino Kanade didn't ask Goto Ichiri why he didn't have time, because he was afraid that asking would make Ichiri withdrawn. It wasn't that he was dark-minded and didn't want to see Ichiri do well, but he didn't think that Ichiri, who had few friends in Yokohama and was idle at home, would have no time.

Even if we have a New Year’s Eve dinner, we won’t eat until dawn.

Goto Ichiri didn't have time, but Ijichi Kouka did, so the time for the movie was set. The movie would start at 8:45 p.m., and everyone would meet at the movie theater in Shimokitazawa at 8:30 p.m.

Why was it the cinema in Shimokitazawa instead of the one in Ikebukuro? It was because Higashino Kanade wanted to spend the New Year's Eve with the girls in the studio instead of at home.

I can go to bed during the Chinese New Year in the studio, but I can only sleep during the Chinese New Year at home.

There is a huge difference between going to bed and sleeping.

In the evening, Higashino Kanade and Izumi Konata finished their New Year's Eve dinner quickly. Higashino Suzu also ate quickly, but she didn't finish it because she ate one bowl after another, and then another bowl after another.

Xiaoling is a kid who is not good at anything except eating.

If she goes out to work in the future, everyone will be socializing at parties, but she is the only one eating. If anyone says something unpleasant about her, she will hug the person and bite him or her. She will directly transform into a zombie and eat all the edible things she sees.

The adults were at home, so Dongye Kanade had no way to urge Dongye Ling. He could only stand where Dongye Ling could see him and give her hints with his eyes.

Holding the bowl, Dong Ye Ling ate without any image and nodded from time to time, but her mouth and hands did not stop. She finished two bowls, two bowls, three bowls, and three bowls. When her parents and uncle Sojiro were full and sat on the sofa in the living room to watch TV and chat, she was still eating, and then eating the fifth bowl.

"Xiaoling is such a big eater, why can't she gain weight?"

Quan Konakata was really curious about Higashino Ling's figure. To be honest, there is no one in this world who can't gain weight. If you keep eating, you will definitely gain weight. The so-called not gaining weight means not eating enough. If you eat all day long, whether you have something to do or not, and eat high-calorie, high-fat food, you will gain weight very quickly.

"do not know."

Higashino Kanade shook his head.

"Is it absorbed well?"

Izumi Konata looked at Higashino Ling's figure. There was no need to look at the figure of a fourth-grade elementary school girl. One could only say that she was flat in front and back and short in stature. It was impossible to tell that the food she ate was absorbed into her body.

"Maybe it wasn't absorbed, it came out right after it went in."

Higashino Kanade wanted to say something vulgar, but then he thought better of it because he had just finished his meal.

However, he didn't say it, someone else wanted to say it.

"Pull..."

"shut up!"

Higashino Kanade covered Izumi Konata's mouth, which was unable to spit out ivory, with one hand.

"What are you doing? Isn't that what you said?"

Izumi Konata broke free from Tono Kanade's hands, but his tone was full of smiles.

It was obvious that she did it on purpose, deliberately saying disgusting things to disgust people.

"I didn't say that. I just said it wasn't absorbed. That's not necessarily what you mean."

Dongye Kanade rolled her eyes. This guy just likes to play pranks. A good girl doesn't want to be cute like a soft girl, but chooses to be like an uncle and talk nonsense.

"Really? I don't believe it."

As the saying goes, "A red bird is known by the company it keeps." Quan Cifang didn't learn anything else from Dongye Zou, but he did learn a lot of strange words.

"believe it or not."

Higashino Kanade rubbed Izumi Konakata's head. Rubbing a girl's head in winter is a very comfortable thing, but in summer it is very painful. Not to mention the furnace-like temperature, even touching the slippery sweat is unbearable.

Although some people believe that a beautiful girl's tears, sweat, bath water, and foot washing water are all nectar, he is not so perverted as to think so.

After finishing the fifth bowl of rice, Higashino Ling was finally satisfied.

"go!"

Higashino Kanade grabbed Higashino Ling's hand and dragged her out.

I told my parents that I was going out during dinner, so he didn't have to say hello.

"Wait, wait a minute, I'm so full, I can't walk."

Higashino Ling retreated and tried to return to her seat. She had eaten too much and felt uncomfortable when she moved.

"I'll carry you!"

Dongye Kanade looked at the time and became a little anxious.
