They all have special skills

The main reason was that the two daughters at home were still sleeping. If he started cooking and turned on the stove and range hood, they would not be able to continue sleeping.

He bought a few sandwiches that had just been put on the fresh-keeping shelf at a nearby convenience store and also picked up a few bottles of milk.

When he arrived at the checkout counter to pay, the advertisement for mobile phone card communication packages posted on the counter reminded him.

In the age of mobile communications, it seems that Akane Shimizu will stay with me for a while, so I must prepare a mobile phone for her.

When Qingshuichuan returned home, his eldest daughter had already gotten up and was brushing her teeth in the bathroom.

The little daughter still looked like she hadn't gotten enough sleep, so she just ran from the floor to the bed.

So this is how my parents felt when they saw me lying around lazily at home during the holidays.

Qingshuichuan was in a delicate mood.

He didn't even think of calling her. He sat with Qingshui Ai at the small dining table and enjoyed breakfast peacefully together.

After talking with Akane Shimizu last night, Shimizu Kawa had a deeper understanding of Shimizu Ai.

Looking at this cute little loli at this moment, the feeling in his heart is completely different from before.

Just because she thought it was fun, she was able to successfully hide it from everyone including him at such a young age.

So now that I think about it, all her confessions to me since she first appeared were lies...

She is really a precocious and scheming little girl who even lied to her own parents.

Will future love go astray and grow into a squinty-eyed funny guy?

"Daddy, is there something on Ai's face?"

"…Uh, no, Dad was just wondering how Ai slept last night."

"The weather has been nice lately, so I slept very well."

"Yeah, that's good."

The conversation between the two also prompted Akane Shimizu to get up.

She stretched herself and came to the two of them.

"Hey, breakfast is a sandwich with milk. It's surprisingly simple, but it's not bad. I'll brush my teeth and come over to eat."

Qingshui Akane's casual remark made Qingshuichuan think of many things for no reason.

In his opinion, sandwiches and milk are a very good breakfast combination.

But the same situation received only a simple evaluation from Akane Shimizu.

How to say?

Will I achieve great success in the future and therefore be able to provide my little daughter with the best living conditions?

"Xia what do you usually eat for breakfast?"

After the little daughter sat down at the table, Qingshuichuan asked curiously.

At this moment, Shimizu Ai also secretly pricked up her ears.

"It depends on the situation, mainly on the morning..."

Akane Shimizu paused for a moment, then chuckled to cover up her gaffe.

"It depends on what my mom prepares in the morning. I like to have rice with fried fish, shrimp, and refreshing tofu."

"You're surprisingly traditional."

"It's okay for such a small matter. Dad, how are you going to plan your day today?"

"As for me... I still have to go to work at the store as usual today. I can't cause trouble for a store that takes such good care of me."

What else...

I just have to meet with Shoko Toyokawa and talk about what happened between them.

Qingshuichuan has not yet figured out what to say and what to hide based on the details he learned last night.

But he was not in a hurry. As usual, Shoko Toyokawa would not arrive at the store until noon today, so he had plenty of time to think about it.

"Oh, I see. Then I won't cause any more trouble for you, Dad."

Akane Shimizu volunteered,

"Leave it to me, sister. You can go and work peacefully."

Qingshui Ai raised her eyebrows, looking somewhat unhappy, but did not speak at this time.

“Eh… Really…”

Qingshuichuan observed the expressions of the two of them,

"How are you going to plan your day?"

"I do have plans. I have something important to do today."

"What's the big deal?"

"I asked my mother out for a nice meal, then I slipped away halfway through, leaving her to pay for it. This cost her half a month's salary, and made her realize the dangers of society."

"...Are you serious?"

"Really? Of course I'm joking. Mom is working so hard right now, how could I possibly bully her financially?"

Qing Shuiqian narrowed her eyes and waved her hand.

"I do have something to do, but I'm keeping it a secret for now. After all, I don't know if I can succeed. If I do succeed, I'll report it to you, Dad."

"Where's the sweet little cotton-padded jacket you promised me?"

"No matter how caring a little girl is, she still needs her own privacy."

"..."

Qingshuichuan looked at Qingshui Akane's happy smile and knew that he would not be able to get more information from her for the time being.

Therefore, he could only add a sentence to prepare for the rainy day.

"Whatever you decide to do, don't mess around or do anything dangerous."

"I know, I know, Dad~"

Akane Shimizu agreed with a smile, without any impatience.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two of them stopped talking, Qing Shui Ai asked softly,

"Are you really my sister?"

"Of course, it's genuine."

"..."

Qingshui Ai looked at her and nodded silently without saying anything else.

After breakfast, out of concern, Qingshuichuan emptied most of his wallet and gave Qingshui Akane all the income he had earned from working part-time and more than half a month's living expenses.

"This is the spare key... This is my old phone. It's a bit old, but it's still usable. I've also got a SIM card for you. My contact information is in your address book."

Qingshuichuan dialed his own number with his old mobile phone. After waiting for a few seconds, his phone vibrated smoothly and everything was fine.

"Thank you, Dad. Don't worry about us. I will contact you as soon as anything happens."

"..."

Qingshuichuan nodded and looked at Qingshui Ai again.

Although the eldest daughter is young, she is very sensible at this moment.

"Don't worry about me, Dad. I will get along well with her."

After the two sisters said so, Qingshuichuan felt a little relieved.

"I'm leaving get off work early today and will be back as soon as possible."

"Well, good job on your work."

"Bye daddy."

With the eyes of his two daughters, Qingshuichuan walked out of the house.

After closing the door, Qing Shuiqian put her hands on her hips and looked at Qing Shuiai.

"Well, Dad has gone to work, and now it's just the two of us. What should we do first? Sister, do you have any good ideas?"

Qing Shui Ai looked at her, but was not moved by the smile on her face.

"Why do you hate Mom?"

He was able to hide the truth from Shimizu River from the very beginning, and was able to say such comforting words to Toyokawa Shoko when she was so sad.

With such high IQ and EQ, Shimizu Ai naturally noticed the aggressiveness that Shimizu Akane displayed towards Toyokawa Shoko without any concealment last night.

Akane Shimizu looked at her and blinked, the smile on her face still lingering, and she returned to the room and sat down on the bed.

Shimizu Ai also followed her into the house, but she deliberately sat on tiptoe on the chair beside the desk.

The two looked at each other from a short distance away.

Akane Shimizu asked back with interest,

"Sister, why do you think that is?"

"So-called adolescence, is it about disobeying parents' discipline?"

"Oh, so, sister, are you also a little annoyed with mom now?"

"I do not have."

"It's not nice for children to tell lies."

"I am your sister."

"Even so, you're just a little brat now~"

"..."

Akane Shimizu came out and pinched and rubbed her little face without any hesitation.

Shimizu Ai wanted to resist, but with her small arms and legs, she had no way to stop the other person's actions.

After realizing that her struggles were futile and would only make her so-called sister laugh even more happily, she simply chose to let her go.

After Akane Shimizu made Ai Shimizu feel depressed by her unilateral teasing, she carried her into the bathroom with satisfaction.

Let her stand on a small stool facing the mirror,

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, sister. Actually, what I said to Dad before was right. I do have important things to do next. Hurry up and comb your hair, and we'll leave as soon as possible."

As for the question that Qingshui Ai was concerned about just now, she naturally ignored it.

Shimizu Ai stood there quietly and let her sister comb her hair.

She has no way to fight against her sister now.

However, this did not prevent her from silently recording this setback in her little notebook.

Since she is my younger sister, there will always be a chance to repay her in the future.

----

For Shoko Toyokawa.

The first thing I saw when I woke up today was no different from before.

A rental house of less than 30 square meters.

After a night of settling, the air in the house became heavy and unpleasant.

She stood up from the temporary mat on the yellowed tatami, and the first thing she saw was the yellowed stove.

As usual, oil was dripping from the fan outlet of the range hood, like a long spider silk stretched in the air, and fell into the paper cup placed in advance.

The front door was only two steps away from her, and there was a shoe cabinet next to it with a long-handled dustpan propped against the door.

Otherwise, the broken cabinet door will be in a half-open state, and an indescribable stench will continue to emanate from inside.

Turning my head to look at the window on the side, even if I don't look closely, I can see a circle of black stuff on the wooden windowsill. It is mold caused by natural corrosion.
