Helsinki: [Thank you for your hard work. I know Xin has been working very hard, so there is nothing I can do about it. Let’s spend a happy holiday together next week.]

129.3: [How do you want to spend next week? ]

Helsinki: [I watched a lot of interesting videos this morning, and everyone said that omelet rice is cute! How about making omelet rice together? ]

129.3: [I’ll listen to you.]

Xiao Wei, what does she think?

Uesugi Nobuyuki found a place to squat down, which made him look extremely experienced, giving him the feeling of a civil engineer. It was a pity that there was no lunch box beside him and no safety helmet on his head.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at the rice fields beside the road. Xiao Wei took a photo of him and he wanted to take a photo of Xiao Wei in return, but you can see the helicopter hovering faintly over the mountain. If you want to take a photo, you have to move to a different position to avoid taking photos of something worrying in the background.

Uesugi Nobuyuki moved his feet like a crab and took a picture of the rice field.

【Wow, so beautiful! 】

Other scenes popped up in his mind one after another. Xiao Wei's sudden exclamation was like turning a spring in his body. He secretly murmured in his heart, thinking that Xiao Wei had finally agreed to his request to go out on Friday morning. He suddenly felt like a mother who cared about her children. Catching this girl's slight inclination, he immediately wanted to give her more beautiful aspirations.

But on second thought, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to act too hastily?

This is family.

Growing grass.

Even the strongest man will have moments of hesitation. There is nothing shameful in saying "I love you, mom". Just use your strong hands to smash the heads of those idiots who think you are shameful.

Uesugi Nobu shook his head, extinguishing the overflowing sister control in his heart. After hesitating for a long time, he thought of the so-called sunflower field here. He would take a few photos of this little girl early tomorrow morning. If he took too many photos, she might think too much...

There aren't many people who can make a buddy linger on a girl, so I advise you to cherish this girl!

Xiao Wei, what do you think?

[I'm full. I'll sit for a while and then take a nap.]

After a while, Uesugi Nobuyuki stood up again. It was Xiao Wei who was going to take a nap.

At 1:56 p.m., my cell phone, which had just been in my pocket, began to buzz.

He took out his cell phone and saw that it was a message from Rocco.

Rocco: [We are at Reina's house. If you want to come find us, you can come here.]

After leaving Hirosawa Shrine, the four of them split up into pairs, each with a fairy. Soul Silver's Hikaru Aika took away Leaf Green's Yumeno Chiharu, with Tsuki Uehara as the fairy in the team, while Uesugi Shin and Asakura Rena, the two in black and white, got together, and the fairy they were responsible for was the useless cat.

It just happened to point out the lone wolf.

Uesugi Nobuyuki went to the front line of the Magic Strategy Bureau and took a look, listened to the arrangements of various tasks, and took a look at the various equipment moved to the front line. He had to admit that Rixia Aihua had thought it through. Professional matters should be left to professionals, and bodyguards should just have the consciousness of being bodyguards.

When he goes to that station, people have to waste time explaining to him what they are doing.

Asakura Rena was the only member of the brave team who still had a normal ID. She was also present when they went to the front line, but she soon left vaguely. Uesugi Nobuyuki guessed that the girl was going home, so he said hello and went to the roadside to buy water.

Uesugi Shinko looked up at the sky. It was blue with white clouds, and the afternoon sun was very warm. He kicked a stone and then sent a message to Rocco.

Give me your location.

Uesugi Nobuyuki originally wanted to find Asakura Rena, so was he going to this girl's house?

After looking at the address link given by Rocco, Uesugi Nobuyuki pondered the location of his old house according to his memory, and found that Rena's house was quite some distance away from his house. His house was generally a little bit outside, closer to the bus stop coming out of the highway, but Asakura Rena's house was hidden deeper.

But not much further.

"Legs over?"

Uesugi Nobuyuki was relatively close to my home, and I suddenly remembered that I had a bicycle at home. My mind immediately began to row like a boat, and the paper airplane of my childhood seemed to be really flying back into my hands.

How long has it been since you last rode a bike?

In Dongxue City, an elementary school student is not qualified to ride a bicycle on the main road, but junior high school students and high school students can. However, his family did not buy a bicycle before their parents died, and it is even more impossible for them to buy a bicycle to play with after their parents died. Occasionally, when he is in an emergency, he will just get a shared bicycle on the roadside, but the shared bicycles here are too troublesome in all aspects, and he is not comfortable using them.

He recalled his story with the bicycle and found that it was only him and his grandfather. When he was still in the countryside of Sichuan, his grandfather worked on the farm and occasionally wore a straw hat. When he took off the hat, only a few sparse hairs were left on his head.

The old man had done farm work all his life, his skin was tanned and his hands looked skinny, but his strength was surprisingly great. He still couldn't understand how such a skinny old man could carry those two bags of rice. If you asked a college student to carry them, he would probably be crushed.

There is a retro 26-inch bicycle in his old house. It's cool to say that when the old man was young, he used a similar retro bicycle to carry his beloved girl on all the uneven roads on the dirt road. When he was old, he took his young grandchildren to show off to the neighbors. Later, his grandson was bored in the countryside, so the old man squeezed out his savings to buy a sky blue bicycle for his grandson to ride, so there are two bicycles in his old house.

After making sure that there was no urgent matter at Asakura Rena's side, Uesugi Nobuyuki walked back to the old house in high spirits.

Then,

I couldn't help but sigh:

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

His grandparents passed away not long after he transferred to Dongxue City, and this old home had been idle for many years. He would only tidy up certain rooms when he occasionally returned to Chuanshan County. As for the warehouse in the old house where bicycles and sundries were parked, it was a courtesy to him that it didn't get moldy.

Uesugi Nobuyuki pushed the door open and walked in. The old warehouse had also been weathered by the years. The afternoon sun was shining brightly, but the light slanted in through the narrow window gaps, revealing a kind of dim texture. Dust danced slowly in the light column. Uesugi Nobuyuki waved his palm in front of his nose and his eyebrows couldn't help but frowned.

He simply moved the sundries in the warehouse and took out two bicycles from the pile. Both the big bicycle and the small bicycle were already covered with rust. He squatted down and took a look. The chain was dry and dull, the handlebars were covered with mottled rust-red, and the tires were deflated. It was okay if they were flat, but it felt like they were broken.

I stood up and saw a few dry leaves and some small debris in the basket of the big bicycle.

The small bicycle is even more petite and its style is different from the popular mountain bikes nowadays. Its color has mostly faded and its wheels are covered with thick dust.

His nostalgic dream seemed to be gone.

Uesugi Nobuyuki pinched the dust on the bicycle and found it was too thick. He took a step back with regret, but suddenly found something in the basket of the bicycle.

It looked like a bunch of rotten petals. It had lost moisture over time and was no longer recognizable. Uesugi Shin reached out and pushed aside the dried debris. Two small spiders crawled out with great presence. Underneath was a sunflower made of paper.

"When did I ever fold this thing?"

The orange-yellow paper mixed in with the unknown debris also has a faded feel, and some corners are wrinkled, which is the result of time wear and tear and is harmless.

If I had this skill, wouldn't I have carried this thing around to show off in elementary school?

There is no such thing in my memory bank!

Strange, strange...

Uesugi Shin looked at his once beloved little bicycle. A bicycle for a child is definitely not suitable for him now. But he suddenly found that the bicycle seemed a little different from what he remembered. For example, there were some meaningless stickers on the handlebars, and it looked very girly pink.

Don't slander me. When I was a kid, the only stickers I would put on were Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece. How could I put Hello Kitty on my car?

broken,

Anyone wanna use the big memory creation technique on a buddy?

Uesugi Nobu looked left and right, clapped his hands and stood up.

[Are you still at Reina's house? ]

[Of course she's still here, Reina is tutoring her little brother, nyan! ]

Uesugi Nobuyuki lost his beloved vehicle, but there was nothing he could do. With his current physique, the only thing he could ride at home was the 26-inch bicycle, but both the big and small bicycles were covered with rusty skin, just like his childhood paper airplane circling in front of him. He thought he could catch it, but the paper airplane cleverly turned a corner and flew away from him in a spin.

Before leaving, Uesugi Nobuyuki closed the warehouse door.

Now, he planned to rely on his amazing leg strength to kick all the way over.

I exited the chat with Rocco and looked at the contact cat bell. This girl's avatar was a girl in a white dress holding a big bunch of sunflowers. It was a two-dimensional style and had no face.

Having just seen the sunflowers in the basket, Uesugi Nobuyuki took a closer look at the element and pondered for a while, thinking that he should indeed tell the girl before going to her house.

As for believing in Rocco?

Do you believe it will steal your pants?

[Asakura, I'll go to your house now. ]

……

Rena Asakura still chose to go home to visit.

On Thursday night, when she learned that Plan A was going to come to Kawayama Prefecture, Rena Asakura tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She had several thoughts of sending a message to her family saying that she would return to Kawayama Prefecture on the weekend and would go home to visit them on the way, but she felt a sense of awkwardness in her heart, so she went to bed very late and did not call or notify her family.

Maybe he's still having a little beef with this family.

Rena Asakura doesn't like Kawayama Prefecture and has been troubled by her family since she was a child.

It's not just about family poverty, but about the suffocating atmosphere when there is family discord.

Ever since I can remember, this family seemed to have several quarrels every year. Grandparents quarreled, and parents also quarreled. When the quarrel got too intense, grandfather would vent his anger on his son and daughter-in-law. I have the impression that the triggers were all kinds of strange, but no matter how they changed, the core of the elders' quarrels was actually about money.

The old man was a vain person. He met my grandmother through a blind date in his early years. When he was young, he was carefree and didn't care about his family. When he got old, he saw that the guys around him either got rich and moved to the city or started their own careers. He was very envious of others, but had no place to vent his anger, so he ended up in this family. It is said that they started quarreling since they were in their sixties, and the quarrel has continued intermittently until now.

So you say, is this grandfather a hateful person?

Her grandfather loved her and her younger brother the most in the family. When she was a child, whenever her grandfather cried, he would stop being angry and carefully coax her. He was also very doting on her younger brother, as if he threw all the evil to other people, and only passed on the kindness to his grandchildren across generations.

Once when they had a big fight in junior high school, her mother once said to her, "Now you know how bad your grandfather is, right?"

What can she, a junior high school student, say?

She once got involved in a quarrel between her grandparents. She pushed her grandfather like crazy, and he fell to the ground. Everyone went to help him up, but when he got up, the first thing he cared about was her who had accidentally gotten involved, and asked her if she was hurt.

He had little savings as he was old, but he was willing to spend whatever money he had on her and his brother.

Why are you so nice to me and my brother?

The grandmother is very weak but also very kind. She has always been the bullied person in the family and is the person that Rena Asakura always wanted to protect when she was a child.

My father is a calm man.

In her impression, her father was very good to her and her younger brother. Perhaps it had something to do with his experience of going out to make a living in his early years. It was said that before he got married, his business was booming. Until one day, his partner ran away with the money. Overnight, he went from being a first-generation entrepreneur to a first-generation loser. He owed a lot of debts that he didn't pay off until she was five years old. After that, he became decadent and seemed to be unable to recover. He could only help with small chores at home, for which his mother looked down on him.

My father is often the weaker party in quarrels. He will be used as a punching bag by my grandfather, and will be accused by my mother of not being able to support the family and not considering the future of his children. He is a mixture of gentleness and melancholy. He often tells his children that he has met the wrong person and that it is his fate. He does not deny that there is no love between him and the mother he met on a blind date, but he is very good to the children. He will DIY toys for the children and buy them some gadgets to make them happy. He also gritted his teeth and bought the only computer in the house, saying that he wanted to at least let the children see the outside world.

As for the mother...

Her mother loved her and her brother the most.

The mother would tell her how bad the family is, how incompetent her father is, and that she should study hard, work hard, strive to do well, get into a good university, and be happy, only then her mother will be happy.

Rena Asakura felt suffocated as her mother had an almost pathological desire to control her and her brother.

When she was in the sixth grade of elementary school, she timidly said that she wanted to go to school in Dongxue City. Her mother, who claimed that she loved her the most in the family, sternly rejected her idea, saying that it would be enough for her to go to a high school near Chuanshan County, which was close to home and it would be convenient for her to take care of her daughter.

Rena Asakura did not argue with her mother. She went to the mountain god's shrine alone and stayed there for a night. The next day, her father took a tough stance for the first time and told her that if she could pass the exam, he would definitely send her to school. Only then did she return home from the shrine.

Just two months ago, her mother called her and told her through the phone with tears in her eyes how much she had thought about her happiness, and that she must be happy. Her greatest happiness was to hope that her daughter could be happy. At the same time, she once again began to settle accounts with her father's past, and said that she must never find such a person in the future.

I also complained to her, saying that my younger brother didn't like studying and was addicted to games. It was all your father's fault. He bought that computer and now my brother can't concentrate on his studies. I really suffered a lot to marry your father.

Finally, things came to light. She had not told her family clearly about her income. Since last year, her mother had urged her father to make money and save money for her university. She also said that one of her relatives could help make money, and half-pushed her father to go in and make money together. It turned out that this money-making was gambling. After more than a year of gambling, the relative has now run away, and their family has suffered.

Rena Asakura didn't have any thoughts about what she heard and even thought about hanging up the phone, but after hesitating for a long time, she finally didn't hang up. She heard her mother crying and cursing on the other end of the phone, saying how pathetic it was that others made money while her father didn't.

When she was in junior high school, she was young and ignorant. She tried to hang up the phone, but she didn't dare to try again after the first try. Her mother would become hysterical. She received more than 30 unanswered calls in one night. She was dazed when she went to class the next day. At noon that day, she received the news that her mother was going to commit suicide. She ran back to Chuanshan County overnight and persuaded her mother until midnight. She felt a little dizzy.

contradiction.

Extremely contradictory.

Studying, going to higher education, transferring schools, and the rising period, at several key points in life, the wishes of the entire family were contrary to her personal wishes. Love in the name of powerlessness and desire in the name of love, she could not figure out what this family meant to her.

One night, her younger brother Asakura Mikoto confided his concerns to her, saying that their father had changed after becoming a gambler. He would often quarrel with their mother and his glaring eyes had become scary.

It was only after reconciling accounts with him that Reina Asakura discovered that gambling really can turn people into ghosts. The father who once went against everyone's opinion and wanted to send her to Dongxue City to go to school has now become a person who vents his anger and creates unrest at home. Even the mother who used to be righteous and confident when a real quarrel comes is afraid of him and becomes silent.

If there is one thing in this family that doesn't make her feel tired, it is probably the stupid brother in front of her.

She often thought that the fact that she was deceived by that unfaithful man when she was a child might have something to do with this family.

When she was young, she was held by the hand of that unfaithful man and ran around everywhere. She felt so free in the breeze blowing in the wilderness. Then she went to the unfaithful man's house to avoid the limelight. His grandfather bought him a new bicycle. He learned to ride a bicycle and was the first to run to show off to her. The two of them left behind the crying little Wei. She was the first person to sit on the back seat of that silly boy.

Ride all the way to the sunflower fields at the foot of the mountain.

She gave all the stickers she collected to the silly boy's car, and folded a paper sunflower flower for him before he left.

Rena Asakura's childhood is inseparable from him and her family. This fate cannot be described as a simple childhood sweetheart. It should also carry her personal yearning for something beautiful, so much so that she insisted on going to school in Dongxue City and must be with the silly boy who said he would make her happy.

"Gu..." Asakura Nozomi let out a weak cry.

Asakura Reina sat on a chair.

A wooden square table was set up in front of her, and sitting opposite her was an eleven-year-old boy. This was her younger brother, Nozomi Asakura. The little fifth-grade kid had a frown on his brows, a pencil in his hand, and helpless sweat on his forehead.

"Don't you understand?"

Rena Asakura was flipping through the elementary school math textbook she hadn't read for a long time, her delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

The girl rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, wanting to say something but hesitantly glanced at Asakura Nozomi who was thinking hard, and couldn't help swallowing the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

The girl who had earned her way into the top class at Homi High School through her own strength felt genuinely helpless about her stupid brother's ability to understand.

I know that there is a saying in the world that the comprehension abilities of geniuses and poor students are worlds apart, but I am not a genius, right?
