They all have special skills

If you have any questions, you can contact him immediately.

Kasumigaoka and Eriri didn't take it seriously.

Just accompanying the old man.

Perhaps Grandma Qingshui has some common habits of the elderly, such as loving to preach and easily nagging without realizing it.

But isn’t that what happens when you get old?

Perhaps they themselves will have such minor problems when they are over 50 years old in the future.

So they didn't take it to heart at all.

Just let Qingshuichuan go and accompany his grandfather with peace of mind, and let him take advantage of this opportunity for the two of them to be alone together to cheer up.

After that, only Grandma Qingshui and the two of them were left at home.

Grandma Qingshui said she was preparing ingredients for lunch.

Therefore, Kasumigaoka and Eriri naturally rushed to express their willingness to help.

Grandma Qingshui did not refuse like Qingshui's mother did. She was very pleased with the two people's behavior.

So now the three of them, each wearing an apron, were standing in the kitchen, each doing their own job.

However, although the three of them prepared together, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri rarely stepped into the kitchen to help at home.

The lack of cooking skills can only make them do the most basic things.

For example, washing and picking vegetables.

Grandma Qingshui has a very good personality. She knows what kind of life children live nowadays, so she doesn't look down on them just because they are clumsy.

Apart from occasionally correcting the mistakes made by the two, most of the time she talked to them about various things about Qingshuichuan's childhood with a smile, just as she had promised before.

During this period, he also gave some general information about the situation of Qingshui's family and other people.

Eriri and Kasumigaoka felt more and more that their decision that morning was absolutely correct.

So far, everything is normal.

----

A little after ten in the morning.

The general preparation of the food is completed.

Originally, at noon, only the three of them and the grandfather and grandson who went fishing were going to have lunch together.

The preparation of a meal for five people is not complicated.

After washing my hands and coming out of the kitchen.

Shimizu Rie said to the two girls with a smile,

"Thank you for your hard work. If it were just an old woman like me preparing, it would probably take me a long time."

"No, we were of no help at all..."

"Yeah, grandma, you're awesome..."

Grandma Shimizu had the nerve to say this, but Eriri and Kasumigaoka were completely embarrassed to hear it.

What did the two of them do?

The two of them together only washed the spinach, peeled two onions, chopped three potatoes, filled a basin with water, took ice cubes out of the refrigerator, and threw in the deveined prawns to keep them fresh.

That's all I did.

The rest of the work, such as cutting meat and vegetables, and seasoning and marinating, was all done by the skillful Rie Shimizu.

“Having the heart is enough.”

Rie Shimizu shook her head and stopped talking about this topic.

Next time, she took the two of them to the tea room.

Neither Kasumigaoka nor Eriri knows anything about the tea ceremony.

But looking at Grandma Shimizu who had changed her clothes and was kneeling on the tatami, she was grinding the tea leaves and brewing them with elegant movements.

Listening to her talk about the techniques and the interesting things that happened when she was learning the tea ceremony when she was young, I felt my heart calm down.

Grandma Qingshui, you really know a lot...

But this is natural.

Earlier in the kitchen, when Rie Shimizu was talking about her grandson's childhood, she had more or less revealed her identity.

Before she married into the Shimizu family, her surname was Fujiwara.

The Fujiwara clan can be traced back to the Asuka period.

Grandma Qingshui’s family is not necessarily related to those great figures in history.

But since the generation of my great-grandfather, the Fujiwara family has been quite prestigious in the Kumamoto area.

Not only does the family own a large amount of land in the local area, but it also has a considerable number of elites in various fields such as politics, academia, and private chaebols.

Growing up in such a large family, Grandma Qingshui naturally performed very well in all aspects.

Watching Grandma Qingshui hand over the brewed tea.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri also followed her previous instructions rather cautiously.

Take it respectfully with both hands and express your gratitude first.

Then turn the tea bowl several times, taste it lightly, sniff it lightly, and then drink it slowly.

At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha thought of the words that Shimizu River had specifically told them.

I'm starting to feel like something's not quite right.

But she still couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

It's like looking at flowers through fog, there's always a layer of separation.

I've noticed something, but I can't be sure at all.

And as for Eriri Sawamura.

Her current mood is quite direct and clear.

She simply thought that Grandma Qingshui was amazing!

Obviously, my family background is pretty good, and my father's family is also very powerful!

Although it may sound a bit self-boasting to say this, she herself can barely be called a young lady.

But compared to Grandma Shimizu... she has a good personality, is good at cooking, and my mom said she can sew clothes, and now she has shown such amazing tea ceremony skills!

Even laymen who don't understand tea ceremony can be attracted by the movements of her tea ceremony.

Like a dance, it is rhythmic and flowing, handsome and elegant!

And what about yourself in contrast?

I am a homebody, my grades are average and my English is very poor, and most importantly...

She has no way of showing what she is good at in front of other people, and she is too embarrassed to say it out loud!

The more I compare, the more I feel completely defeated!

It is said that the Showa era men are tough and the Heisei era men are otaku.

If the gender is changed, it would be just right to be placed here.

Today, Eriri experienced it firsthand and thoroughly.

Stayed in the tea room until half past eleven in the afternoon.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Grandma Qingshui took the two of them to the kitchen again.

When the process of preparing lunch officially began, Eriri and Kasumigaoka were completely unable to help.

They could only stand by and listen to Grandma Qingshui talk about some cooking tips, the differences between various soy sauces, the choices of various soup ingredients and miso, etc...

In the middle of the night, the phone at home rang. It was grandpa calling.

He fished for the whole morning and used a lot of bait, but still no fish was caught.

He felt that there was something wrong with the fishing spot he chose today, so he drove his grandson to a reservoir farther away.

I won’t be back for lunch today.

So the number of people eating together at noon decreased by two.

With less cooking work, lunch is ready faster.

After lunch, Kasumigaoka and Eriri were very sensible and let Grandma Shimizu stay in the living room to rest.

The two of them cleaned the table, washed and wiped the dishes and put them in the cupboard.

During this time, they heard the doorbell ring from the entrance. Grandma Qingshui told them not to worry about it and went to open the door herself.

----

After finishing the work in the kitchen, Grandma Qingshui smiled and waved to the two of them, motioning them to sit next to her.

"You guys helped me so much today, and you were so kind to give me gifts last night. Now I'll give you a gift in return."

return gift?

Kasumigaoka and Eriri were a little flattered and quickly said no.

But the gifts were already prepared, and no matter how much they refused, they had to accept them after a few words from Grandma Qingshui.

The gifts for both of them were placed on the coffee table. They were two large square boxes, so large that their ends extended beyond the edge of the coffee table.

There are no obvious patterns, symbols or brand logos on the box.

Some of them just have complicated and intricate patterns that look very high-end.

In fact, at the urging of Grandma Qingshui.

After the two opened it, their cute little mouths opened slightly...

What’s inside…

It is indeed quite advanced.

——Neatly laid out in the box were two luxurious kimonos that were obviously very expensive!

The kimono in Kasumigaoka is mainly black and red, with colorful gerberas on it.

As for Eriri's kimono, the color is much more elegant, green and white.

Her kimono also has floral patterns, which are lilies of various sizes in full bloom.

This gift...isn't it a little too expensive?

As if she had guessed what they were thinking, Grandma Qingshui did not give them another chance to be polite.

"Clothes aren't for looking at. Go back to your room and try them on to see if they fit you."

Although there is no one else at home now, girls will definitely feel safer when changing clothes in the room.

The three of them went to Kasumigaoka Utaha's room together.

Kimono is not casual clothing. It has lining, obi, belt, etc.

The kimono that Grandma Shimizu gave me even came with pure white foot straps.

It's been matched from head to toe.

Kasumigaoka and Eriri looked at this expensive and complicated gift and for a moment they didn't even know how to put it on.

At this time, Grandma Qingshui saw the two people's awkward appearance and smiled and said,

"Do you need grandma to teach you how to dress?"

Kasumigaoka and Eriri's responses were self-evident...
