Tokyo Sound

A middle-aged man was found kneeling on the ground, his eyes dull, his face pale, his lips trembling, looking miserable and pitiful as if his soul had been hooked away. The box of expensive wine fell to the side and no one cared about it.

"You're kneeling down now?"

Yin Ze took a deep breath, was astonished at the sight, and then couldn't help but exclaim in respect.

"My uncle is not only successful, but also very filial, kind and sensible. He is truly a role model for modern entrepreneurs!"

Chapter 122 Family Status Qualifying Competition

The countryside is covered with new vegetation. Although it is green in spring and summer, it becomes a sparse cold forest in winter. The water flows unrestrainedly from the mountains. The river surface is broad and the water color is a deep sky blue. The gurgling sound from far and near keeps singing.

The overall atmosphere of the Japanese countryside is peaceful and tranquil, just like in anime, with not too many people and close to nature. Because of the low population mobility, the relationships between people are relatively rich.

Unless coastal areas are developed into tourist attractions, they are basically in a very wild state.

The landscape in the city is roughly like this, very peaceful, there are no tall buildings, and life is very slow-paced.

No wonder there is a saying that outside of Higashimeihan, the whole country is rural.

Yin Ze has been in Tokyo for a long time. The boring city is like a money-printing machine that keeps turning, printing modern life full of the smell of copper coins in a terrible way. And this kind of life, no matter how honorable it is, can only curl up in the corner of the capital of money.

"It's a rare opportunity for your whole family to come here. It must be boring to sit on the train, right?"

Chiba Noyang smiled kindly and brought tea and hot glutinous rice cakes. Although she had aged quietly, the beauty of the old grandmother when she was young could be vaguely seen between her wrinkled brows. She took the initiative to take her granddaughter's hand and stroked the child's hair lovingly.

"Ayane has grown taller and more beautiful. The look in her eyes is exactly the same as your mother's back then."

"Grandma, how are you?" Sakura Ayane came over and clung to the old woman's shoulders.

"I'm fine. I often go to the fields to work and harvest vegetables. When I'm free, I take a walk with my neighbors. We held a fireworks display before, and I wrote the banner." Chiba Noyang said happily, "By the way, I heard from Zhisen that you were admitted to a good university. This is really something to be happy about. I have already packed a big red envelope for you. If you want any other rewards, tell grandma."

"Don't worry about the money. Her father has never stopped giving her pocket money. You might as well cook a few more of your signature dishes." Sakura Edamori smiled, "She always says that my cooking is not as authentic and delicious as yours."

"That's not surprising. Your mother is my apprentice. Although this apprentice has already qualified, the master is definitely stronger." Chiba Noyang said, "Ayane is a connoisseur of good stuff. She's not like some stinky old men who get tired of eating it after decades of eating it."

"I never said anything like that. Don't lie." Chiba Jinsui, who was drinking tea calmly, raised his head.

"When I was in school, you used to despise me when I brought you food."

"..."

"How are you doing, Dad? Is he in good health?" asked Sakura Edamori.

"Don't worry, he's very strong. Unless he gets hit while doing aerobics on the train tracks one day, he won't go to the clinic or hospital all year round." Qianye Yeyang snorted, and then asked curiously, "By the way, who is this well-behaved boy?"

"Hello, my name is Takizawa Satoru. I'm Sakura's colleague in career and teacher, and also an alumnus of Uncle Sakura's. I'm sorry to bother you by coming over here this time." The young man said very humbly and with good manners.

"He played a big role in Ayane's miraculous admission to such a great university this time," Sakura Edamori added.

Chiba Noyang looked from left to right at the young man, then at the granddaughter holding him, and soon showed an understanding expression, and his tone became more enthusiastic, "No wonder he has such an extraordinary temperament, he is a student of Tokyo University like Eiji, it's amazing, and he even came all the way to greet us two old guys, very polite. Eat more for dinner later."

"Thank you, mother-in-law. Haha, I won't be polite." The young man smiled heartily.

"Have we met somewhere before?" Qianye Zhensui looked at the young man for a few seconds, tilted his head, and felt vaguely impressed.

"I'm the one who sang Teresa Teng." The young man spoke in bronze-level Cantonese.

"Oh oh——" A flash of lightning flashed through Qianye Zhensui's mind, and he suddenly remembered, "The young man who watched the fireworks display, do you still remember that I gave you a bag of potato chips~"

"Of course, it tastes like roasted meat, very delicious." The young man nodded happily.

"Can you communicate with grandpa?" Sakura Ayane was stunned.

"I have been majoring in Chinese for nearly 30 years. After watching some TVB costume dramas, it makes sense for me to speak a few words in Cantonese," Yin Ze said modestly.

"Oh? You also read martial arts novels." Chiba Jinsui was delighted.

"Jin Gu Huang Liang Wen, I have a little knowledge of it." Yin Ze said proudly. He has a photographic memory and can even recite Yi Jin Jing and Jiu Yin Zhen Jing. It means that he cannot cultivate internal strength here, otherwise he would be reborn as the Urban Dragon King.

"I used to run around everywhere, played the role of many sect masters' corpses, and even besieged Guangmingding several times." Qianye Zhensui said complacently, "I was killed by the Nine Yang Divine Art. How about it? Are you envious?"

"I'm so envious!" Yin Ze said.

Then there were some conversations that were unclear to outsiders, such as "Who said that the Xingxiu Sect's martial arts is better than the Beggar Gang's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms", "Master Wei is really the envy of others", "Master Zhang is probably a foot fetishist", etc. The language was intense and very intimate.

However, after a quick glance, he found that his wife's face was gradually becoming unfriendly. Qianye Zhensui was immediately shocked and quickly ended the hot topic. Then he sighed in a profound manner, "Young people are really knowledgeable. It seems that there is also a gap between students at Dongda University."

Ok?

When the old man mentioned this, Yin Ze suddenly remembered that everyone in the family was chatting, but why didn't he hear a word from his uncle who was usually the best at communication?

Yin Ze turned his head to search, and then found the target in the corner of the wall in the living room.

The urban elite who was still wearing a famous watch was seen like a kitten abandoned in a cold and rainy night. He sat on the tatami with his hands hugged against the wall and his face buried in his knees. It was hard to tell whether he looked sad or out of his mind. In short, it was very complicated... He was very similar to Shinji Ikari who was bullied by the cruel world and fell into autism.

"What's wrong with Eiji? Is he carsick?" Chiba Noyang asked worriedly.

"No way, he was more excited than anyone else when he got off the car, as if he had won a lottery worth hundreds of millions." Sakura Edamori was also a little puzzled.

"When people reach middle age, the bad habits from their youth slowly show up. I've long told him to exercise more, but look, he's so tired after a long trip. It's like this to sit in the president's office all day. He's too delicate." Chiba Jinsui snorted, "Not as good as Ayane. At least my granddaughter has a round waist and arms--"

"I'm not that fat!" Sakura Ayane protested loudly, "I'm very slim now!"

"Oh, why pursue a body shape? Tonnage has a very high priority in fighting. Health is king. If you store a lot of fat, you don't need to wear thick clothes in winter. If you exercise a little more for a few days, splitting tiles will be easy..." Chiba Jinsui persuaded.

"Tons, tons?" Sakura Ayane was slightly surprised. She was usually teased by her father in kilograms, not such a terrifying unit. She turned her head away immediately, "I don't want to talk to grandpa anymore, I hate him the most!"

"..."

Qianye Zhensui was bluntly told that he hated her, and his sharp eyebrows drooped. He shifted his gaze and finally looked at the middle-aged man in the corner. He said indignantly, "It's all your weak father's fault. Otherwise, why would I mention sculpting my body?"

"?"

Sakura Eiji slowly raised his head, revealing his empty eyes with some innocence.

"Eiji, accompany me tomorrow and do what a man should do. Let's go to the fields to work together." Chiba Jinsui's tone was unquestionable.

"There are still farm work in this season? Isn't it a little winter?" Sakura Eiji was stunned.

"There are greenhouses, and you thought it was spring these months." Qianye Zhensui said, "Tomorrow we will go to turn the soil and make ridges, and we can also exercise. What a good thing."

“What is ridging?”

"You're still a college student, and you don't even know this?" Chiba Jinsui said a classic old saying.

"So what? I'm not the only college student who doesn't know." Sakura Eiji smiled contemptuously.

"Because some crops have very high requirements, they need to turn the soil. The purpose is to increase soil permeability, plant light intensity, and facilitate drainage and irrigation. Although not all crops require ridges, as the saying goes, you reap what you sow. For the same crops, under the same conditions, the harvest of crops with ridges is generally better than that of crops without ridges." Yin Ze explained promptly.

"I, I studied law, but that's the wrong major." Sakura Eiji was stabbed in the back and tried his best to speak.

"What are you studying, young man?" asked Qianye Zhensui.

"Literature." Yin Ze said concisely.

"Hey, take a look." Chiba Zhensui said with disdain.

"?"

"But elders, please don't blame my uncle too much. I have worked on the fields in the brigade several times before and have some practical experience, so I understand it better." Yin Ze still tried to speak well of him.

"Hey, take a look." Qianye Zhensui repeated, "They have all been in actual combat, what about you?"

"I..." Yin Ze intended to continue speaking for justice.

"Okay, okay, I appreciate your kindness, but please stop talking for now." Sakura Eiji interrupted quickly.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have said those things, otherwise you wouldn't have quarreled because of me." Yin Ze said sadly, "If I were a little more blunt, it would be better. Besides, uncle has other advantages too."

"This speaking format is exactly the same as my former female class monitor in college. Oh my god, are you doing this on purpose?!" Sakura Eiji was shocked.

Someone turned his head away and responded perfunctorily.

"That's a deal then. Follow me tomorrow morning." Chiba Jinsui nodded with satisfaction.

"Hey, something's not right." Sakura Eiji frowned, "He knows so much, shouldn't he bring it along?"

"I take you to work just for the purpose of training, otherwise I can do it alone. People nowadays are surrounded by high technology and various consultations, and gradually forget the soil that nurtures them. Humph, if it wasn't for your own good, do you think I would be willing to take on a novice who is a hindrance? I still have to spend time teaching you how to use a hoe." Chiba Zhensui continued to say with disdain.

"Okay, okay, I get it, stop talking..." Sakura Eiji covered his face.

Chapter 123: Less Talk, More Action

"Junior."

"exist."

"Go, bring me its chicken head." Sakura Eiji pointed indifferently at the pure free-range chicken that was walking with its chest puffed out and its head held high under the fence in the distance, like a ruthless gangster boss issuing a killing order.

"If I remember correctly, that should be the task assigned to you, right?" Yin Ze said in surprise.

Life in the village is so simple: check the vegetable garden, water the plants, go shopping, and cook.

It is now 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is time to think about preparing dinner. The old lady is determined to give her good granddaughter a luxurious meal, so she takes her daughter and granddaughter to pick vegetables, while the men's group is responsible for killing the animals.

Chiba Jinsui went to a large pig-farming company in a small village to buy meat, and before leaving he asked the two men to take good care of the native chickens.

"Junior, could you bear to stain my white and tender hands wearing a Rolex with blood?" Sakura Eiji asked deliberately.

"Even Sakura-san has never said such a coquettish thing to me. Uncle is surprisingly feminine." Yin Ze stood in awe and encouraged, "It's just a chicken. I believe you can do it."

"It's just helping to kill a chicken, why are you pushing and pulling? If you can't even do this little thing, I don't dare to imagine how rebellious you will be at home and in front of me in a few years." Sakura Eiji was a little annoyed, "You are a young man with agile skills, so what's wrong with working harder?"

"Then just hang around here. If you hang around for a while, the old man will be back." Yin Ze said mercilessly, "I don't even dare to imagine what he will say when he sees that you have made no progress."

"How dare you! Are you threatening me?" Sakura Eiji was shocked and angry.

"Uncle, we cannot disobey my father-in-law's orders, so let's sharpen our knives quickly." Yin Ze continued.

"Well said, that makes sense, so why did you disobey my orders?!"

"?"

Finally, the middle-aged man couldn't stand the anxiety. After looking at his watch again and again to calculate the time, he grabbed the huge thick wallet in his pocket.

"What are you doing?" Yin Ze was puzzled. "Trying to lure Tuji into committing suicide by cheating insurance?"

"This 5000 yen is your handling fee. It's already more than the average price charged by stall owners in Tokyo." Sakura Eiji's movements of taking out money were clearly well-trained and extremely skillful, and he was low-key and unrestrained.

"How can you think of solving everything with money? Is this good? This is not good."

"I can't!" Sakura Eiji said loudly and angrily, "I'm the one who is powerless, okay?"

"..."

Needless to say, this is definitely a self-deprecation. Because the uncle doesn't look very thin, he must exercise regularly. Whether it's golf or swimming, he must be good at it.

However, now that things have come to this, it would be impolite for a man to just stand by and watch, after all, they will meet again if they look up.

"This is not a matter of money..." Master Yin casually stuffed the banknotes into his pocket. Thinking that he could give another Giant of Light toy to the children in the welfare home, he happily picked up the kitchen knife and swaggered forward to do the bloody deed.

The native chicken noticed the sound, turned back vigilantly, flapped its wings, and trotted towards the gap in the fence.

But I never expected that someone was so mean as to activate the plug-in, which started at 299.9%, and quickly simulated 8 escape routes for Brother Ji in his mind. At the same time, the software assisted the hardware, and the five senses and body control were UP. The arrow step was followed by a throwing technique and an execution, all in a flash.

There is a kind of wild beauty of predators in nature, which is very real.

Sakura Eiji thought the chase would take several minutes, but he didn't expect it to end so quickly. He listened to the chicken's cries, and then saw someone's ruthless and precise swordsmanship, and his mentality suddenly became unstable.

In the future, your position as the backbone of the family will be in jeopardy.

The economic war must be waged, and it must be fought hard!

Next comes the hair plucking process, which is done by middle-aged men themselves.

After everything was done, the two of them stayed at the doorstep like lazy people, enjoying the scenery.

The middle-aged man squatted down and took a breath to rest, while the young man stood there in a very cool manner.

"I'm alone here, why are you posing?" Sakura Eiji said unhappily.

Yin Ze simply pointed at a silly yellow dog in the distance who was also squatting at the doorstep, panting with its tongue hanging out.

Sakura Eiji compared the appearance of both parties, then patted his thigh naturally and stood up, saying nonchalantly, "What do you think of this place, junior?"

"It's a beautiful place with clear water and green mountains, and it's a good place to live." Yin Ze said, "Although it's in the countryside, it's not that inconvenient, and the cost of living is not high, so it's very suitable for retirement."

The most amazing thing about Japan is that as long as you leave the core area of ​​Tokyo, the cost of renting a house will drop drastically. He is already thinking that if he doesn't work as a voice actor in the future, he will go to Hokkaido to take orders.

"Yes, the minimum standard of living is very guaranteed. Although small, it has everything. There is even an airport bus that takes one hour to the airport. You can take a bus to the train station within half an hour and quickly go to the surrounding small towns. In fact, as long as there is a tram passing through a regional city, you will basically not feel disconnected from the outside world in terms of transportation. In addition, there are large warehouse supermarkets within driving distance in the city, as well as signature hot springs, basically all your life needs can be met."

Sakura Eiji stretched lazily and said with his arms crossed.

"Public schools are all in the area, so children don't need to leave their parents' side from childhood to adulthood. They are basically all very close. If you don't plan to send your children to very expensive private schools or cram schools, you can easily support them. Of course, there are subsidies from the government or companies every month for elementary school and kindergarten."
