Chapter 171: Invitation to sing (Part 3) [5K]

It was still raining moderately in Azumi Village in the afternoon.

Dense raindrops hit the country road, and with the sound of dripping rain, the rain turned the clean main road into dark gray.

The cold wind and cold rain swept across the golden wheat fields, raising waves of golden wheat.

Watanabe Yu, who was sitting on the edge, raised his head and looked at the gray sky.

Fine raindrops hit the roof of the old house, and then, under the influence of gravity, the raindrops slid down the eaves.

Listening to the sound of wet rain, you can feel the dense beads connected into strings and falling to the ground like a bead curtain.

At this moment, Azumi Village seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, quiet and soothing.

The raindrops were slightly cool, and this moderate rain, which had been falling for nearly three hours, showed no sign of stopping.

"Are you a little bored?"

Hamabe Rie sat next to Watanabe Yu and watched the rain with him.

The old woman did not participate too much in the conversation during the meal. She felt that since the two young people were chatting so enthusiastically and the atmosphere was so good, there was no need for her, an old lady, to join in.

"I can't say I'm bored, but I feel a little emotional. I haven't been back to the countryside for a long time. It feels like a lifetime ago. Anyway... I'm getting off topic."

Watanabe Yu shook his head, dispelled the memories in his heart, and turned to look at the old man beside him.

"Grandma, it's still a little cold here, why don't you go back inside?"

Watanabe Yu reminded Hamabe Rie in a gentle tone.

Although he has not undergone major surgery, he has experienced minor surgeries.

Before traveling through time, he had been in bed for nearly a week because of surgery for acute appendicitis.

The operation is a minor one, but the impact it brings is not small at all.

After the operation, he felt very obviously that his physical fitness and immunity had declined significantly compared to before the operation.

And unlike other cases of recovering from serious illness, the debuff of reduced physical strength caused by the surgery lasted for a long time.

Until he traveled through time, there was still a part that had not recovered.

"This little bit of rain won't cause any trouble. Even if it's tofu dregs, it won't break at the touch of a finger. Besides, I'm not tofu dregs."

Hamabe Rie smiled and made a little joke.

She is aware of her own physical condition.

Indeed, compared to before the operation, her physical condition had deteriorated a lot in all aspects after the operation.

But after this period of recovery, I feel much better.

Although it is impossible to return to the condition before the operation, it is still possible to recover to a small level.

"Too."

Come to think of it, it seemed that he was indeed worrying too much.

"Don't worry too much about my physical condition. If I feel uncomfortable, I will tell you." Hamabe Rie showed a gentle smile and then mentioned another thing, "Also - Yu, Ryoko has caused you trouble during this period."

She turned her head, lowered her brows, and thanked him sincerely.

During the conversation with Ryoko, she did ask about her granddaughter's living conditions.

She knew clearly what happened in Yaleju, and she also knew that her granddaughter had moved to You's place and was sharing the house with him.

"Ah? Trouble? When did it happen?"

Watanabe Yu opened his mouth, his eyes full of confusion.

"Didn't it cause you any trouble?"

The old man was also stunned.

In her opinion, if she disturbs her friends excessively because of personal matters, even if they are boyfriends or girlfriends, she will cause trouble to them.

"No, if I must say, she has helped me a lot. In terms of causing trouble, I have caused her more trouble."

Watanabe Yu spread his hands.

“…It is natural for young people to help each other.”

Hamabe Rie shook her head and denied Watanabe Yu's statement of "causing trouble to Ryoko".

Even if he caused trouble for Ryoko, it was what he deserved.

"Ryoko will be sad to hear this."

Yu Watanabe made a little joke.

Grandma is a bit too hypocritical.

"She's not at home now, right?" Hamabe Rie said this, but she didn't continue to dwell on this topic. "Yu, can you tell me about Ryoko's recent situation? It would be better if it is in more detail."

On the phone, Ryoko would also talk about how things were going recently, but she knew very well that Ryoko's habit was to only report good news and not bad news.

By tapping on the side, she could also get a comprehensive understanding of her granddaughter's recent life.

"Sure." Watanabe Yu looked at his grandmother and said, "But it's a long story."

"There's still plenty of time. If it's raining, it'll take quite a while to go back and forth from here to the convenience store where I buy seasonings."

Hamabe Rie withdrew her gaze and looked at the raindrops that formed a bead curtain.

"Well, let's start with the final exam period."

Watanabe Yuu considered his words and started talking to Hamabe Rie.

The old man listened very carefully and asked one or two questions from time to time.

By the time Watanabe let out a long sigh and finished telling everything, more than twenty minutes had passed.

"It sounds like Ryoko has had a pretty fulfilling time these days."

Hamabe Rie sighed, and her half-hanging heart finally settled down.

Aside from the fact that her part-time job at the convenience store was very busy, what Ryoko told her was basically the same as what You told her.

Apparently her worries were unnecessary, as her precious granddaughter was doing quite well during this period.

That's good!

"Yes."

Watanabe Yu nodded slightly and then brought up another topic, "Grandma, have you seen that woman?"

"Which woman?"

Hamabe Rie turned her head and looked at him.

There was a hint of doubt in those cloudy eyes.

"She's the one wearing heavy makeup and fashionable clothes. She's about the same height as Ryoko, but looks about six or seven years older than her."

Watanabe Yu thought about it and decided to just wear it, so he added another sentence.

"Do Ryoko and her not get along well, or have they had conflicts?"

"Her...her name is Nagasaki Natsuko. She is seven and a half years older than Ryoko and is 25 years old this year. Ryoko and her do not get along well. Or rather, our family and Nagasaki's family do not get along well."

Hamabe Rie carefully considered her words.

She never likes gossiping about others behind their backs, so she is much more cautious in her choice of words.

"Has there been any conflict?"

Watanabe Yu followed up with this question.

"Not really, it's just that they are more... realistic and hope to achieve a leap in their standard of living through other means."

Grandma's narration was very tactful.

"I understand what you mean."

Watanabe Yu sighed.

He dislikes your poverty and is afraid of your wealth. He wants to take advantage of every benefit. He thinks it is his due when he gets help from others. He is a typical extreme egoist.

Such people usually have one thing in common: extreme inferiority complex.

"What happened in the past is in the past. There is no need to dwell on it."

Hamabe Rie was afraid that Watanabe Yu would be impulsive, so she quickly added another sentence.

"I understand."

Watanabe agreed with a smile.

He knew what his grandmother was worried about, but such worries were obviously unnecessary.

To deal with such people, you just need to live your own life well. To them, the better your life is, the more torment they will suffer.

*

Coming out of the convenience store, Hamabe Ryoko, holding an umbrella and carrying a bag, met Nagasaki Natsuko again.

The only difference from before was that this time the latter held up an umbrella and held a can of coffee in his hand.

Maybe life just likes to play such bad jokes and send annoying people to you.

Forget it.

After calming down, Hamabe Ryoko ignored her.

You told her not to get angry at people unnecessarily, because getting angry is punishing yourself with other people's mistakes.

But many times, just because you don't provoke a bitch doesn't mean that the bitch won't provoke you.

"Hamabe, why are you shopping alone? Where's your boyfriend?"

Nagasaki Natsuko turned her head and looked at Hamabe Ryoko with a joking tone.

She used to be jealous of Hamabe Ryoko's family. Why could she live like a princess but she couldn't?

Later, after learning that Hamabe Ryoko's family had broken up, she was happy for a long time and felt that the dazzling sunlight in the past had softened a lot.

But the scene she wanted to see did not happen.

——Ryoko Hamabe did not collapse. Although she spoke less, she was still strong.

Such strength burned her eyes.

Why don't you collapse when your family is broken up and you have lost everything you once had? Why are you still gritting your teeth and holding on?

So she began to spread rumors and attack Hamabe Ryoko, but this girl who was seven years younger than her said nothing and endured it silently.

Then she became even more furious.

"..."

Hamabe Ryoko ignored her and continued walking forward steadily.

"It's still the same as before. He has no manners at all. He doesn't even say hello to acquaintances."

Seeing that Hamabe Ryoko ignored her, Nagasaki Natsuko did not get discouraged and continued talking to herself.

"It's the same with boys nowadays. They look really handsome, but they are so useless and irresponsible. They don't even want to go shopping with you."

Her eyes became more mocking.

Yes, she was jealous.

Since Hamabe Ryoko was admitted to Tokyo, she has become more and more beautiful. Even heavy makeup cannot achieve such an effect.

But compared to her vision, Hamabe Ryoko's vision is indeed much worse.

Finding a student as a boyfriend, even if he is a little handsome, so what?
