Chapter 119
Qingxi has always been a person who would rather survive than die, otherwise her system would not have reminded her to survive as long as possible in this world before leaving her temporarily and going back.
After watching Tsurumaru Kuninaga and Daikurigala leave, she closed the gate and went back. Then she was pulled by Grandma Su to go to class.
Well, to use her words, you can even tailor clothes from Japan, but you can't not even know how to make your own clothes.
Qingxi felt that she was quite miserable. She was still a student in her third life.
But she could also feel that Granny Su really wanted to find someone from her own family to pass on her skills. And this was Japan, the Wa Kingdom of their time. How difficult would it be to find someone from her own family here?
Originally, she placed her hopes on her own son, but who knew that her son was brought up as a useless child, and her mixed-race grandchildren were in the same boat with their wife, and were also brought up as useless children. Now the only one she can choose is the little girl her husband met at the fireworks display. Who else can she target if not her?
It was already dark when Qingxi finished washing up and returned to the house to rest. Grandpa Qin had lit the wisteria flowers early. Soon, the house of eighty or ninety square meters was surrounded by the fragrance of wisteria flowers.
Sitting on the mattress, Qingxi originally wanted to rest immediately, but there was no way because her mind was filled with a bunch of information about clothing patterns, what kind of fabrics were most suitable for what style of clothes, etc. But thinking of what Tsurumaru Kuninaga said to her before he left, she still insisted on performing the summoning ritual.
She tried twice, but unsurprisingly, the summoning was unsuccessful both times.
Then, tonight she gave up, yawned, and lay down to sleep.
As for the summoning ritual... there's still tomorrow.
However, she really thought things were too good to be true. However, her courses for the next few days until her return had already been clearly arranged by Grandma Su.
"Aki, come here, let me introduce them to you. They are the older brother Tokito Ichiro and the younger brother Tokito Muichiro. They are twin brothers, one year younger than you. You are going to be their older sister."
Grandma Su's voice rang out, and Qingxi, who was embroidering a flower on the embroidery frame with her head down, looked up.
Who knew that during the time when Tsurumaru Kuninaga and Daikurigara were out on patrol, she was able to learn everything from Grandma Su. To use her own words, she was quick to learn, but not very skilled. Overall, it could be considered smooth sailing, but she suffered a bit in learning embroidery.
To quote Grandma Su, she had long wanted to demonstrate it to her herself, but although they both lived in Tokyo, the location was too far away, so the matter was put on hold.
For this, Grandma Su could be said to have taught her embroidery from scratch.
Looking at the twin brothers who were brought in hand by Grandma Su, Qingxi decisively threw the needle and thread and embroidery frame in her hand into the basket and stood up to play with the two brothers, well, to get to know the brothers.
"Hello, I'm Qingxi."
"Sister Axi." The twin brothers called out obediently.
The two boys were wearing the clothes that she had asked Jiro to send them some time ago, which she had taken out of the lucky bags. She looked them up and down and found that they fit them perfectly.
"Those two pieces of clothing suit you very well," she said in a pertinent tone.
The two brothers, Tokito Muichiro and Tokito Ichiro, knew about Kiyoki.
To be precise, what they remember is that they were each given a new set of clothes during the New Year two years ago, and not long ago, they were given two new sets of clothes after the New Year.
Although Grandma Su told them that the two sets of clothes she sent after the New Year were given to them because she bought them in lucky bags and found out she couldn't wear them after opening them, they were still new clothes.
Having new clothes to wear for two consecutive winters is a very happy thing for a family that makes a living by collecting wood and does not earn much.
So, today, when I came to the town with my parents to visit Grandpa Qin and Grandma Su, I heard that Sister Axi, who sent them clothes, was here and would stay for a while before going back, so the two of them wanted to come in and thank each other.
"Thank you." One of the long-haired boys said softly and shyly. Nervously, he pulled at the hem of his shirt with his hands. "It's thick, and it's very warm."
"I'm glad you don't mind." Qingxi said.
After all, she didn't intend to give these clothes as gifts. She couldn't wear them herself and had no one suitable to give them to, so she finally thought of giving them to them.
"My brother and I like it very much." The boy replied.
After hearing what he said, Qingxi realized that the one who spoke was the younger brother Tokito Muichiro, and the one who did not speak was the older brother Tokito Ichiro.
But she gave up trying to tell them apart.
Because the two of them were about the same height, both had long black hair tied into two ponytails, one on the left and the other on the right, and wore clothes of the same style and color... She didn't think that she, who had just met them, could recognize them again immediately after getting confused.
While a few people were chatting, two adults, a man and a woman, walked towards this side with Grandpa Qin. Just by looking at their appearance, Qingxi guessed that they were the parents of Tokito Yuichiro and Tokito Muichiro.
Qingxi greeted them politely. After thinking for a moment, she asked the twins, "Do you want to sit over there with me?"
There is one downside to Japanese-style rooms: the space is not very big, and with seven people squeezed together, it feels very cramped.
The two brothers Tokito did not respond to him immediately. Instead, they went to see their father and mother first. After getting their permission, they followed Qingxi.
"Candy?"
She opened the lid of a small iron box, which contained colorful candies. She placed the small iron box between the two brothers and asked them.
Because she has a gourmet backpack, she usually doesn't keep food in her room. She took out these konpeito yesterday and ate a few of them, but forgot to put them back.
Now it’s time to get something good out of it and treat the Tokito brothers.
"Is it okay?" Tokito Muichiro asked Qingxi, but his eyes were fixed on the small iron box and did not move.
Sugar is not a necessity in human life, but in this era there are still many people who want to taste its wonderful taste called "sweetness".
But, it's too expensive.
Therefore, ordinary families with tight financial situations usually do not buy snacks for their children every day. Instead, they choose to buy a few pieces for their children on certain special days. As for the adults, they will definitely not eat this thing that is like krypton gold.
"Sure." Qingxi said generously. "If you like, this box is for you to eat."
Thinking that her action might poke some of the child's self-esteem, she added, "This is also something I opened from the lucky bag I bought before the New Year. I opened a lot of candy, and considering the price of candy, I still made a profit."
"Then we won't be polite." Just when the younger brother Tokito Muichiro was hesitating whether to take a candy from the small iron box, wondering if his parents would be angry if they knew, the older brother Tokito Ichiro, who seemed to be more lively, had already reached out his hand.
He stuffed a candy candy into his own mouth, and also stuffed one into his brother Ichiro's mouth. "Is it sweet?"
The konpeito came into contact with the saliva in the mouth and melted on the tongue. It was the first time that Tokito Muichiro felt what the taste of "sweet" was like. A blush slowly appeared on his cheeks, and his originally pursed lips relaxed unconsciously, and then slowly opened up without him knowing it.
"So sweet." Tokito Muichiro said happily.
The two brothers Qingxi and Tokito had just met today and were not familiar with each other, so there was not much to talk about.
Fortunately, she was an extroverted person. After chatting with both of them for a few minutes, she found that neither of them was difficult to get along with, so she treated them with the same attitude as she treated Chijuro.
After spending some time together, she discovered that every time Grandma Su wrote to her, she would occasionally insert some stories about the two brothers.
Of course, it’s the kind of hidden thief who doesn’t mention his name.
Whenever this happened, Qingxi would remember that this mother-in-law came from the ancient Ming Dynasty and did not write about other people's affairs, but if she paid attention, she could see traces of her in the letter.
She didn't know what the two adults in the Tokito family were like, but she saw in the two brothers that they were simple, innocent, had no particular ambitions, and were easily satisfied... But if she really had to make a summary, it would be that they were probably a very ordinary and common family in this era.
Parents are a mirror for their children. Since the Tokito brothers have such personalities, I think their parents’ personalities are pretty similar.
As for why their family caught the eyes of Grandpa Qin and Grandma Su, isn't that easy to understand?
Think about their own children, wives, grandchildren, and then compare them with this family. I think only a person with extremely poor eyesight can't tell the good from the bad. If she were in their shoes, she would also like Shi Tou's family.
She could hear the faint laughter of men and women coming from the front. Even if she didn't see what was going on there, she could tell from the sound how comfortable the host was chatting with the guests.
"Sister Aki, don't you eat candy?" asked Tokito Ichiro.
He looked down with a guilty conscience at the small iron box of Konpeito, which contained half of it that he and his brother had eaten. The candy was expensive, but he and his brother had eaten so much. He wondered if Sister Axi would cry.
Of course, it is also possible that Sister Axi will not cry when she and her brother are around, but will cry after they leave. Then, what should she do?
Cat is so square.jpg
Tokito Ichiro stared at Qingxi's face for a long time, but he didn't see any tears falling from those blue eyes that looked like the sea and the sky. He became more and more determined in the idea in his heart.
"I'm sorry." He bowed his head and apologized. "Sister Axi, why don't you just cry it out."
Qingxi: “???”
Qingxi was confused and at a loss.
"No, um, why am I crying?" The topic jumped a bit, and she couldn't keep up with the little brother's train of thought.
Tokito Muichiro, who also didn't get the true meaning of his brother's words, also had a look of bewilderment in his eyes.
"Konpeito," Tokito's twin ponytails drooped as he spoke. "Sugar is expensive. My brother and I ate a lot of your candy, Sister Aki."
After hearing the explanation, Qingxi was speechless. That’s it?
Although she could understand that sugar was not a necessity in people's lives, the thing she had the most was candy.
She has all kinds of candy, such as konpeito, chocolate, milk candy, toffee, malt sugar, and bonbons. She even has 999 giant coral candy trees, so she really has no shortage of candy.
But she couldn't tell these to the two brothers.
Patting the head of her new acquaintance, who looked like a black lop-eared rabbit, she said, "It doesn't matter if you finish eating."
Tokito Ichiro looked up and blinked, a look of disbelief on his face.
so good?
Qingxi blinked back at him and said confidently, "It's free, and it doesn't cost any money, so why not eat it?"
Tokito Ichiro was stunned: "Is it still possible to do this?"
This is completely different from what my father taught me and my brother since we were young, that we should not covet even a penny of other people's things... two extremes, yes, two extremes.
"Why not?" Qingxi said seriously. "They're everywhere, on the ground, in the river, in the sea. It would be a waste if you didn't pick them up."
Tokito Ichiro's facial expression suddenly lost control.
"What? Sister Axi, you actually lied to me." As he said that, he pounced on her and prepared to take a little revenge on the easy-going young lady in front of him.
"I'm not lying." Qingxi insisted after being pounced on.
However, the place she was talking about was not in this world.
"You're still lying!" Tokio Ichiro put his hand on the girl's armpit.
"Haha, it's itchy." The girl exclaimed in surprise, then burst into laughter. "I'm your older sister, how rude! Hahaha, since that's the case, I won't be polite either. Watch me fight back!!!"
"Hahahaha, Wu, Wuyilang, hurry up, come and help."
"Be good, Muichiro. Take the candy and eat it over there. I'll be there with you in a bit."
Tokito Muichiro looked at his brothers and sisters who were "killing each other" and didn't know who to help for a moment.
My brother is my biological brother, and my sister is the one who gave me delicious candy the first time I met her. I wouldn’t feel comfortable helping either of them.
"Muichiro!! Hurry up!!!" Tokito said to Ichiro.
"Muichiro, be good and go eat some candy over there!!!" Qingxi.
Tokito Muichiro: ...
Cats are too difficult.jpg
He looked at the two people tickling each other, and suddenly he stood up. When the two people stopped moving in shock at his actions, he shouted, "I'm coming!!!"
With his pounce, Tokito Ichiro, who had been counterattacked by Qingxi and pinned to the ground, was killed.
However, Qingxiren, who was the sandwich between the two brothers, was not in a much better situation and was currently in a state of vomiting souls.
The people who were chatting in the front couldn't help but laugh when they heard the children's laughter coming from the back, but then they found that the laughter of the three children stopped abruptly and the four adults couldn't help but stop talking.
"Oh, don't tell me something has happened." Grandma Su said as she quickly stood up and ran out.
Ah Xi is the successor chosen by herself and the old man, and the twins of the Shitou family are also good children that she and the old man like. If something happens to them in her family, she will probably cry to death.
Grandma Su ran so fast that the three people who reacted quickly followed her like a string of candied haws.
But when they arrived at Qingxi's room and saw that Tou Muichiro had killed his brother and sister alone, the four adults fell silent again.
"Muichiro." As the mother of twin brothers, other people may not be able to recognize who is the older brother and who is the younger brother, but Mrs. Tokito can tell them apart at a glance.
"Are you okay?"
He carried away Tokito Muichiro, who was on top, and then Tokito Hiroki carefully carried Kiyoki, who had not yet recovered from the soul-vomiting, to lie aside. Finally, he went to look at his eldest son, Tokito Ichiro, who was pressed at the bottom and was bearing a weight that he should not have to bear at his age.
I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was injured.
Who would have thought that Qingxi, who was lying beside him, came back to life at this time. She grabbed Tokito Muichiro's anklet with one hand. Tokito Muichiro's sudden grab made all the hairs on his body stand up.
Before he could react, the girl's sad voice rang out, "Wuyilang, you...you, you have such a cruel heart, sob... sob..."
Adults: “…”
Grandpa Qin rolled his eyes and immediately smacked her on the forehead. "You think you're singing an opera? All those whimpering, whimpering voices are better than yours."
Qingxi grasped Tokito Muichiro's hand and loosened it powerlessly. He closed his eyes and said in an emotionless voice, "Ah, I'm dead."
"Damn it, you little bitch." Grandpa Qin became even angrier and rolled up his sleeves, ready to beat her up. "You can be a bitch, but why are you cursing yourself? Where are your followers? Look how bad they hit you."
Whether it is the original era or the era of gourmet food, they are both recent. Compared with the Ming Dynasty when Grandpa Qin and Grandma Su lived, there were many things and many words that were taboo. What was just a joke to Qingxi would be like a prick of the lungs when it got into their ears. How could they not explode?
"Oh, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I won't say that again."
Qingxi ran around holding her head, feeling quite aggrieved. Shouldn't she be playing with her two younger brothers? Why was she the one being chased and beaten by adults in the end?
She felt so wronged.
