Super Scholar’s Japanese Girlfriend - Chapter 155
[Chapter 155 Take Your Boyfriend to Celebrate the New Year (2 in 1)]
On the first floor, Miori and Kazuo Asaba were preparing for the dinner.
“Dad Lixiang, what are they doing upstairs? It’s been so long, and the child is going to be born…”
“You women think about this all day. I think Shen Yu is a very upright person, very similar to when I was young, and he won’t mess around.”
“It’s over like you are, if I want it for you, it will bully me…”
In fact, Miori was busy, and Kazuo Asaba was here to make trouble. After a while, he was kicked out to hang the betting rope and swing the door loose.
The Lianzhu rope is equivalent to the couplet posted on the Chinese New Year’s side. It is woven from straw ropes, and it is also similar to the hanging door god here.
The door pine is equivalent to two pots of New Year oranges. They are also placed symmetrically at the door. They are made of bamboo, pine branches and plum blossoms. They are called “Three Friends of Suihan”, because these three plants can maintain the temperature even in the cold winter. Vigorous vitality symbolizes good luck, and after the Edo period, it has also been given the meaning of welcoming the god of wealth.
In addition to these two, there is a mascot called mirror cake, which is actually a pagoda-shaped rice cake for worshipping the gods.
Today is the last day of 2020. It is New Year’s Eve in Japan, also known as the Day of Darkness. Lixiang’s family did not eat at noon, but ate soba noodles, which is called “Nianyue Buckwheat” in Japan. The custom of rice cakes and dumplings, until tonight, is to eat Oji cuisine.
Because Miori is a very traditional housewife, she takes care of things like the New Year and the festivals.
Miori will do it, and Lixiang will too. If she hadn’t come over today, she would be helping her mother prepare Osechi dishes in the kitchen right now.
Lixiang walked around the house with Shen Yu, and said hello to Miori when she went downstairs:
“Mom, Shen Yujun and I are going to send New Year’s cards to my uncle and the others. Where do you put the keys of your electric car?”
“Eh? Rika has a new hat! Kawaii!”
Lixiang ran downstairs, and the little ball on the top of her hat that looked like a dandelion trembled.
Miori pinched the ball of her hat, and when Rika wore this knitted hat, she looked like a cute little bunny.
“Hee hee, it was given to me by Lord Shen Yu! Does it look good?”
“Kawaii! Are you going now? Why don’t you let Daddy Lixiang take you there, some live far away, just mail it…”
“Electric cars! Electric cars! We’re going to ride electric cars!”
“You don’t know how to ride…”
“Shen Yujun will!”
The mother and daughter both spoke Japanese, and Shen Yu only felt like he had walked into a Japanese family. Except for Kawaii, he didn’t understand anything.
Soon, Lixiang came out with an electric car key, dragged Shen Yu and ran outside.
The afternoon sun is very good, the last day of the new year is a good weather, the sky is a large blue, it looks very comfortable.
As Kazuo Asaba arranged the betting rope, Kadomatsu and the red stickers for the New Year, the New Year’s atmosphere at home became more intense.
“Are you going to ride an electric bike?”
“Well, Shen Yujun will take good care of me, father and mother don’t worry!”
“Then come back early!”
“I know, I know.”
Kazuo Asa said to Shen Yu again in Chinese: “Lixiang, stupid, don’t know the way, Shen Yu take care of her, please!”
Shen Yu said quickly, “Don’t worry, uncle.”
“Hey, Lord Shen Yu, here’s the key for you!”
Lixiang opened his hand and put the key in his hand, Shen Yu only felt that she was taking advantage of him again, as long as there was a chance to touch him, hug him, hold his hand, etc., Lixiang didn’t care at all. will miss.
The electric car was parked in the yard, and there were two Nissan sedans next to it. Because of the convenience of transportation, there were not many people riding electric cars here, but Miori would ride it occasionally and go shopping nearby.
Lixiang can’t drive, can’t ride an electric car, can’t ride a bicycle, and is not good at taking the bus, subway, plane, etc. Because she is a road idiot, she never goes out when no one takes her , if someone is carrying it, she doesn’t have to worry about remembering these things, just follow it stupidly.
At this point, Lixiang looks stupid, but she also has the advantage of seeing people very accurately, probably because she knows she is stupid, so she never goes with others who she can’t trust, and she has a sixth sense. Super strong, who is worthy of making friends, you can see at a glance.
The style of this electric car is not the same as the one at home. It is a women’s style. It has a sky blue body and is relatively small. There are fixed windproof gloves on the handlebars, so it won’t get cold when you put them in in winter.
When Shen Yu rode up, he was already tall, making the electric car even smaller.
Seeing him get in the car, Lixiang couldn’t wait to climb into the back seat and sit, not wanting to waste even a second, she shoved her hand into his coat pocket, and then her whole body stuck to the back of Shen Yu on the back.
In the past, Lixiang sat on the side of Shen Yu’s electric car, but since winter came, she has become a straddle seat, because this way, she can stick to Shen Yu infinitely, and she can also clamp him, it will be very warm! !
As Li Xiang hugged his waist, his gloomy abdominal muscles immediately tensed like an electric shock, he took a deep breath, and his heart beat a little faster.
It’s been six days since she rode an electric car!
Li Xiang can’t help but miss this feeling very much, and Shen Yu also misses it very much…
After all, in the few days when she was not at home, he rode an electric car to school alone, and he always felt that his back was empty and unaccustomed. When he was walking on the road, the cold wind blew his whole body and made him tremble.
“Shen Yujun, your stomach is so hard!”
“Don’t you touch me…”
Through the coat, Shen Yu patted the little hand that was rubbing his stomach, and Lixiang calmed down. She put her little face behind his back, smelling him presumptuously, and enjoying the warmth he brought.
“Dad, let’s go!”
“be careful……”
Kazuo Asa, who was putting the door pine at the door, looked at his daughter hanging behind Shen Yu, and thought that Shen Yu’s nephew was really upright, after all, when Miori hugged him like this, he fell…
Out of the door, before Shen Yu rode for fifty meters, Li Xiang told him to stop.
“arrive?”
“Uh-huh.”
The two got out of the car together and rang the neighbor’s doorbell.
“This is the Hisa family. Uncle Hisa is also very good to our family. We have frequent contacts and we need to send a New Year’s card.”
“Oh.”
Shen Yu took out a stack of New Year’s cards from the big pocket lined in his coat and found the one with the words “Kuda”.
“Is it this one?”
“Shen Yujun is so smart!”
“You can find this fool…”
Shen Yu was speechless. After all, he didn’t know Japanese, and he knew Chinese characters.
The New Year’s card is a very important ceremony in the Japanese New Year. Just like Christmas uses various lights and decorations to set off the atmosphere, the Japanese New Year begins with various New Year’s cards. Since late December, postmen have been very busy, and the post office will also recruit a large number of temporary postmen.
This is different from sending a text message to bless. They believe that even a friend who has not been in touch for a long time should write a New Year’s card written in his own hand to bless the end of the year, which means that I still miss you. After all, I wrote it with my own pen. The words below have weight, not only the weight of the ink, but also the sentiment.
If some people can’t even receive a New Year’s card, it will be too miserable for everyone. The New Year will completely lose the atmosphere and feel abandoned by all friends.
While waiting, Shen Yu also looked at the neighbor’s house curiously.
There are many single-family houses in Japan. There is a small yard, a parking lot, and a two- to three-story wooden building. It looks like a small villa and is very delicate. Most of the house owners have their own style of decoration.
Soon, a middle-aged man who was somewhat fat came out, adjusted his glasses, saw the girl outside clearly, opened the door and said enthusiastically: “It’s Lixiang! Happy New Year!”
“Happy New Year, Uncle Kuta! This is the New Year’s card that my father asked me to give you! I wish you a safe and happy new year, and Aunt Yongcai can get well soon!”
“Thank you for your concern and blessings, thank you…”
Shen Yu couldn’t understand what they were saying, but in the eyes of this Uncle Kuta, he saw the emotion. Kuta was talking to Rika, but he didn’t understand either. He just felt that the New Year’s atmosphere of this house was far from that of Rika’s. Now, even the door pine has not been put out, and the weeds in the yard have grown a little taller.
“Who is this……”
“He is my lover, from China, his name is Shen Yu!”
Saying that, Lixiang pulled Shen Yu’s hand without changing her face, and reminded in a low voice, “This is Uncle Kuda.”
“Happy New Year, Uncle Kuda, Happy New Year!” The last sentence, Happy New Year, was said by Shen Yu in Japanese.
Looking at the young man, Kuta nodded frequently and wished Shen Yu a Happy New Year. At the same time, he said to Lixiang, “Your boyfriend is so tall and looks good. You look very well matched. Let’s work hard together until we get married this year, Uncle Kuta. A wedding gift for you.”
“Not so fast…”
“Lixiang is also at the age of marriage, we must be together!”
Lixiang’s face finally turned red, and she chatted with him about Aunt Yongcai’s current situation, and finally took Shen Yu to leave.
After getting in the car, the two went to the next house to send New Year’s cards.
If it’s not too far from home, Lixiang can still recognize the way, after all, she has been there for so many years.
When I came out, I walked onto the main road, and Shen Yu habitually kept to the right.
Lixiang took the opportunity to scratch his stomach again and reminded: “Shen Yujun, you have to go on the left side, you are going retrograde!”
“Does that have anything to do with you grabbing my stomach?”
“I’m reminding you!”
Remembering the matter of sending the New Year’s card just now, Shen Yu asked her again:
“This Uncle Hisa, what happened to his family? I think he looks haggard.”
“Well, his wife is sick and hospitalized, and she is still in the hospital and hasn’t come back, so the New Year will not be lively anymore.”
“Is that so…”
“So Shen Yujun must cherish your body! You can’t stay up late because of work! If you get sick, it will make those who love you very worried!”
“Ok……”
It’s the same as my mother’s usual nagging, but this time, Li Xiang’s advice made Shen Yu take heart.
It will hurt those who love you.
This sentence inexplicably touched a certain point in his heart, feeling the warmth behind him, and he didn’t want to see Lixiang sad.
Japanese people are more introverted, and New Year greetings are not like we are used to sitting at home for a few hours, or a family of seven aunts and eight aunts are lively, they are more worried about disturbing others, gifts and so on, not so much Pay attention, when the New Year’s card is delivered, it means that the heart has arrived.
For some people who are close to each other, Lixiang will also take some snacks made by her mother as gifts, which is very decent.
If there are children in the other party’s family, she will act like a juggler and take out a small red envelope from Shen Yu’s pocket and give it to the child. Shen Yu doesn’t even know when she hid the red envelope.
“Aren’t you married, and you want to pack a red envelope?”
“Because I’m taking Shen Yujun to the New Year’s Eve. Children will be very happy if they receive a red envelope!”
Lixiang said with a smile, everyone thought that Shen Yu was his boyfriend after celebrating the New Year all the way, after all, even the red envelopes were taken out of his pocket.
Lixiang doesn’t care about other people’s impressions of her. Most of these are the network of her father and mother, but Shen Yu is meeting these relatives and friends for the first time. It’s not wrong to let everyone have a better impression of Shen Yu. After all, Shen Yujun doesn’t understand Japanese, so others will inevitably be a little bit xenophobic, and Lixiang doesn’t want others to think that he is not good, because she thinks Shen Yu is super good, so she does some more pleasing things in the name of Shen Yu.
Shen Yu also walked with her ignorantly, until now, he didn’t know that he had become her cheap boyfriend.
“Have you received a red envelope yet?” Shen Yu asked.
“No, red envelopes are usually given to elementary school students and below. I haven’t received a red envelope for a long time!”
Lixiang pursed her lips, feeling that she had grown up and was no longer cute.
“For those of us who are not married, we all have red envelopes. When you go to my house for the New Year this year, my mother will definitely give you a big red envelope.”
“Really! How big is it?”
“Who knows…”
Before I knew it, it had only been two hours since I came out, and it was already more than five o’clock in the afternoon. All those who could deliver the New Year cards in person were also delivered. The rest were far away, so I had to put them in the mailbox and wait for the postman to deliver them.
“Are you going back?”
“There’s another one for Sae-chan! She should be back from get off work.”
Saying that, she gave Shen Yu a mysterious look, “Maybe Shen Yu-jun will be stunned when he sees her!”
“She is very pretty?”
“Humph……”
Lixiang sat behind the electric car, hugged her gloomy waist, put her ears behind him, listened to his heartbeat, and asked him:
“Then, does Shen Yujun think I’m good-looking?”
“You…”
Shen Yu opened his mouth and said casually: “It’s just a little bit good-looking, there’s nothing to be proud of.”
“A little bit?”
“Well, so little sesame seeds.”
Li Xiang was very happy because she heard clearly—
The gloomy heart was beating wildly.
