Chapter 67 Before the New Year, Grandpa Tiger Stick
Gojo Satoru promised Miya Chiri that he would persuade Yuji Itadori's grandfather to move to this village, and he would take time to visit Sendai in December.
Unfortunately, nothing went well in the talks. Gojo Satoru was frustrated several times and was still angry when he came to the village.
But he couldn't show it in front of the children, so he could only complain to Gong Zhili after the children fell asleep.
Gong Zhili has been sleeping enough at home recently, so it doesn’t matter if he talks a little later. He just curls up on the sofa, watches TV and listens to him talk.
"...But he refuses to move here. He clearly wants to keep his grandson here until junior high school, and he's already agreed to let Hisahito go to a technical high school. Why doesn't he want to come?"
Gong Zhili came back to her senses from the show and asked, "How did you persuade him?"
Gojo Satoru said as a matter of course: "Of course I should talk about Yuujin first, and then use Yuujin as bait——"
He kept talking, and Gong Zhili felt a headache listening to him: "How did you convince him to hand over Yuhito to the village?"
Gojo Satoru stretched out his arms, taking up most of the sofa, and said, "Because he was very worried about Hisahito at the time, I discussed some things with him about the world of curses, and he was willing to entrust his grandson to us for protection. But now, when it comes to himself..."
"He doesn't seem to care about his own life or death." Gojo Satoru sighed.
Whether it is out of nostalgia for his hometown or the old man's resistance to the new environment, it cannot cover up his indifference to his own life.
Gong Zhili pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively, "So, did you mention Hisahito's special physique?"
Gojo Satoru smiled bitterly, "Anything involving the noose can't be shared with the public, so many things are unclear. It's understandable that he can't make up his mind."
Miya Chiri: "Then, if we just say that Yuujin has a special physique that makes him vulnerable to the cursed spirit, and that his family will also be affected by the cursed spirit, will that be effective?"
Gojo Satoru followed her example, crossing his legs. He leaned over the stove, took a mandarin orange, and began to peel it. As he peeled it, he said, "Will it work? Things like this require a single strike, right? And then, using these excuses—"
Gong Zhili stretched out her hand. Gojo Satoru looked at her and gave her half of the mandarin orange. "At times like this, the other party will feel that you are hiding something from them, which makes it more difficult to communicate later."
Gong Zhili chewed his mandarin oranges, "There's nothing we can do. This is a special case after all. You have to ensure his safety. In this respect, you've already considered a lot for Grandpa."
Gojo Satoru finished his mandarin oranges, wiped his hands, and said, "Next time I must convince him!"
Gong Zhili asked, "How about bringing Grandpa over to stay for a few days before the New Year? I'll clean up Nanako and the others' previously abandoned house and let Grandpa stay there until the end of the New Year."
Gojo Satoru hesitated. "It's snowing in the village now. It would be troublesome to clean up the house so that people can live comfortably for a while, right?"
Gong Zhili casually returned to watching the show: "Just consider it your reward for peeling the mandarin oranges for me."
Gojo Satoru laughed and simply picked up another mandarin orange: "Do you want more?"
Gong Zhili looked at him and said, "Yes."
When Hisahito learned that his grandfather might come to the village to live for a while, he was very excited. For the first time, he took the initiative to ask for a mobile phone and said he wanted to call his grandfather.
Yuji didn't have a landline at home, so he called his neighbor's house. Miya Chiri was surprised that he actually remembered his neighbor's phone number so clearly.
Miya Chiri didn't listen to what Hisahito said to his grandfather, but Megumi Fushiguro came to see her secretly.
"Will Hisahito leave here and live with his grandfather in the future?" Hui looked a little depressed.
Miya Chiri said, "You really miss Hisahito, don't you?"
She originally thought Hui would keep silent, but he actually nodded!
"I can't bear to let him go," Hui looked up at her, "Sister Zhili, can you keep him?"
Miyaji smiled at his honesty: "We didn't intend to give Hisahito away in the first place. We did go through the formalities at the beginning."
Grandpa Hisahito is too old, so he has sent his grandson to live with a "relative". All these procedures have to be followed. Even if the grandfather moves in, he can't just let the grandfather and grandson support each other in the village, right?
Children may not understand these things, but they are satisfied knowing that Hisahito will not move out.
The children who followed Hui to "eavesdrop" pushed each other and quickly left the living room, preparing to look for Hisahito again.
Miya Chiri caught Fushiguro Megumi who was also trying to run away and asked, "Have Megumi and Tsumiki ever thought about their families?"
Although Fushiguro Shigeru is not Tsumeki's father...Tsumeki's mother has disappeared long ago, but what if Tsumeki wants to see her?
Fushiguro Megumi shook his head: "No."
He said in a serious tone, "This is the best place."
Gong Zhili was touched by his words, and rubbed his hair against his resentful eyes: "Okay, go play with them."
The mountain was blocked by heavy snow and the road was difficult to walk on. Even so, Gojo Satoru lived up to everyone's expectations and brought Grandpa Itadori back to the village.
The village chief learned about this from Miya Chiri, and very enthusiastically took people to work with Miya Chiri to clean up the house of the Jiachang family. Miya Chiri bought a kotatsu to keep Grandpa Yuji warm - if Grandpa Yuji decided to move in, he would have to wait until the spring when it got warmer.
After the house inspection, Gojo and Haibara Yu came with Grandpa Itadori. After arriving, Gojo had to send Haibara out of the village, so Miya Chiri went to the Kagawa family's house to visit Grandpa Itadori first.
Miya Chiri didn't ask Gojo what method he used to convince the other party. She was only responsible for communicating with Grandpa Itadori about living in the village.
Itadori Wosuke sat on a chair and said, "I've already bothered you a lot. You don't have to worry about an old man like me anymore."
Miyajiri looked at the facilities in the house, making sure there were no leaks, and said, "Yuhito is very excited. Will he stay with you tonight? He can come to our place for dinner soon."
Itadori Wosuke was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "For an old man like me, working and living in the countryside is not difficult, but there will definitely be trouble for you."
The hidden meaning in his words was that the place where he used to live was more convenient and he could take care of himself, but when he came to the countryside where life was not so convenient, he had to rely on others.
An old man who has rarely asked others for help in his life does not want to always trouble others in the future.
Gong Zhili smiled and said, "You can experience life here in winter. It's actually not that difficult. If you want to cook for yourself, everything is ready in the kitchen. If you don't want to cook these days, I always have plenty of space."
Itadori Yasuke glanced at her and found that this very young girl was of a different type of difficulty to deal with than Gojo Satoru. Half of Gojo Satoru's persuasion sounded like threats, but this girl didn't care what you thought at all. You just had to follow her arrangements.
Both of them are guys who are confident in their own abilities. That's right, if they weren't strong enough, he wouldn't have put Yuji next to her.
When Itadori Wajiro thought of this, he unceremoniously ordered him to leave: "Take Hisahito home. I'll visit you at home tomorrow morning."
Miyaji looked at Yuji Itadori and said, "Yuji, do you want to sleep with grandpa tonight or go home?"
Itadori Yasuke: If Prince Hisahito says he wants to stay here, should we just leave him here?
Miya Chiri really thought so. If Hisahito and his grandfather had different opinions, they would communicate again.
Looking at his grandfather's tired face, Hisahito said sweetly, "I'm going home, Grandpa. You should have a good rest."
Miyajiri walked in the snow holding Yujin, put his hat on him, and asked, "Don't you want to sleep with grandpa?"
Yujin buried his face in her shoulder to avoid the wind and snow, and said in a muffled voice: "Grandpa will never sleep with me, he always lets me sleep alone."
Besides, if he stays there, he will need his grandfather to take care of him. After returning home, he can handle his own affairs well. His grandfather will be shocked if he finds out, right?
After the two of them arrived home, Gojo Satoru also followed. He first went to see Itadori Wosuke, and now followed Miya Chiri into the house.
"Is it okay that the snow here is so unusual?" Gojo Satoru wondered. "This isn't Hokkaido."
Gong Zhili looked at the snow outside the window: "Actually, I quite like this kind of snow... It's very peaceful."
Gojo Satoru looked puzzled. "Isn't the snow falling non-stop just because you want it to?"
Gong Zhili waved his hand: "I'm not that boring...it's normal."
Gojo Satoru: "Ha! I knew you had the ability to control the weather!"
He was quite proud: "I tricked you out of it."
Gong Zhili nodded: "I didn't hide it on purpose, it's just that you didn't ask."
Gojo Satoru was even more unwilling to let her go at this point: "Can you only control the weather within the barrier, or can you control it anywhere?"
Gong Zhili: "I haven't tried it anywhere else, so I don't know, but——"
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the window: "Let the snow stop today."
Gojo Satoru opened the window slightly, and under the dim sky there was only white snow. The snowflakes that had been falling just now had disappeared.
He closed the window and turned back, his blue eyes almost burning with fireworks: "I'm really looking forward to when you turn eighteen."
How wonderful it would be if I could let loose and fight with her!
Gong Zhili speechlessly withdrew his hand: "Your mind is full of fighting, you are worthy of being a high school boy."
The brain is either all muscle or all crap.
Gong Zhili stood up and said, "Hurry up and get ready for bed. The second floor is empty now. You can go sleep there."
Gojo Satoru grabbed her arm.
Gong Zhili: "What's wrong?"
Gojo Satoru: "I haven't had dinner yet. Do you have anything to eat?"
Gong Zhili: "...There's only rice. Can I make you fried rice?"
Gojo Satoru withdrew his hand, his tall figure huddled in the kotatsu, looking very well-behaved: "Then please."
Gong Zhili made him a simple fried rice with eggs and chopped green onions, and after thinking about it, she made a soup.
"I'll go take a shower first. Remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating." Gong Zhili yawned and turned to go to the bathroom.
Gojo Satoru watched the lively variety show on TV, ate delicious fried rice, drank hot soup, and heard the sound of children playing noisily in the bedroom.
Being able to live such a life, she probably doesn't have much ambition to go out.
