A girl in a sailor suit carried Lin Xiuyi's luggage and walked silently ahead. Lin Xiuyi followed behind her with mixed feelings. Until now, Lin Xiuyi still hadn't figured out how to face the younger sister he just knew.

Cang Ke Reina looks about fourteen years old. She is tall and has fair skin, giving her a sense of maturity beyond her age.

After walking for about 20 minutes, Rena, who was holding the salute, still showed no signs of fatigue, but Lin Xiuyi, who was empty-handed, couldn't keep up with the other party's footsteps.

"That... How far is it?" Lin Xiuyi stood behind Reina, stopped her, and asked out of breath.

"It's not too far, you see, it's at the foot of the mountain!"

Lin Xiuyi looked in the direction of Reina's finger and saw a small village near the sea in the distance. But it seems that there are still at least a few kilometers to go. Lin Xiuyi sighed silently, then trotted hard and followed Reina's footsteps.

"Well, is your mother okay?" Lin Xiuyi didn't know how to communicate with Reina. To be honest, he was really curious about his sister. Because Lin Xiuyi hadn't seen his blood relatives for a long time since his grandmother died. But at the same time, Lin Xiuyi harbored a hint of dissatisfaction. Ever since Kobayashi Shuichi thought that his father just ran away from home because of debt problems, if it wasn't for debts, he would not have done so. But now, looking at the slim little sister in front of him, Lin Xiuyi felt that all his fantasies were deceiving himself.

"My mother died when I was very young, and I have always lived with my father!" Although Lin Xiuyi couldn't see Reina's face, Lin Xiuyi could still hear the grief and sadness in Reina's tone.

"I'm sorry to mention your sadness!" Lin Xiuyi said a little ashamed, Reina shook her head, then looked at Lin Xiuyi with a reluctant smile on her face. This made Lin Xiuyi feel even more sorry.

Perhaps Reina realized that Lin Xiuyi was indeed walking slowly, and she gradually slowed down. The two people who met for the first time didn't have much to say, but the smiles between them made them gradually familiar with each other. Before they knew it, the two of them actually walked to Rena's door.

"That's it, take a rest first, and I'll prepare a room for you."

Reinai pushed open the courtyard door and led Lin Xiuyi in.

This is an ordinary seaside dwelling with fishing nets and some catches hanging in the courtyard. In the corner of the yard was a plum tree that looked at least a few decades old. The yard of Lingnai's house is not big, and the house looks a little old, but when Lin Xiuyi walked into the room, he was a little surprised.

"Is this a hearth? It's rare now!"

As Lin Xiu spoke, he walked towards the fireplace. It is rare to see such an arrangement in the living room now. The so-called ground stove, as the name suggests, is a stove placed on the floor. The floor and the fire source are separated by stone. Although this kind of thing looks a bit primitive, it is indeed an indispensable living facility in traditional Japanese houses. It can both boil water and bake some things like sweet potatoes. And in the Japanese tea ceremony, the ground stove and the wind stove are both indispensable and important facilities.

Reinai saw Lin Xiuyi sitting by the hearth in a serious manner, but she felt a little relieved. After so many days, someone finally lived in this empty house.

Reina's hands and feet are very fast. Lin Xiuyi wanted to help Reina clean up the room together, but Reina politely refused. Lingnai arranged a Japanese-style bedroom for Lin Xiuyi. The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was only a table, a tatami chair and some simple furnishings. The futon was placed in a cabinet by the wall.

"Do you want to eat or take a shower first?" After Lingnai helped Lin Xiuyi settle down, she turned around and asked Lin Xiuyi.

"Well, why don't I cook dinner!" Lin Xiuyi felt a little embarrassed to let a teenage girl take care of him. Although his cooking skills were not very good, he cooked a pot of rice before cooking. Some simple dishes are still fine.

"You are a guest from afar, so there is no reason for you to do it. Although my cooking skills are not good, I also cook my father's usual meals. Please rest for a while, and I will prepare dinner for you now!"

Lin Xiu saw Reina's resolute and stubborn expression, and naturally he stopped insisting. Rena is right, he is indeed a guest here. Perhaps in Rena's heart, she is no different from those relatives and friends who came to the funeral together, and even the staff of the Heinai Town Town Hall. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

It turned out that Lin Xiuyi's worries were indeed unnecessary, and Reina quickly prepared a decent dinner for Lin Xiuyi.

Salt-grilled horse mackerel is served with lemon and radish mash, potato salad, sea tempura, and a warm pork miso soup. Lin Xiuyi would never be able to make such a rich dish.

"It's all home-cooked food, I don't know if it suits your taste, please don't dislike it..." Reina said politely after serving Lin Xiuyi rice.

"There, even I can't make such a dish myself. I didn't expect that I didn't help you much, but I would have to take care of you. I'm really sorry!" Lin Xiuyi bowed his head to thank Lingnai, and then put his hands together, Saying reverently, "I'm going to start!" This is both a respect for the food itself and an expression of gratitude for Rena who prepares the dinner.

"I'm about to start!" Reina said in a low voice, then picked up the chopsticks and ate dinner silently.

The taste of this dinner was really good. Although the dishes were simple, it made Lin Xiuyi feel the taste of rare family cooking. However, the embarrassment and anger between him and his sister made Lin Xiuyi feel a little depressed.

After dinner, Lin Xiuyi wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Rena also refused. Rena quickly packed everything up. Then he went to prepare the bath water for Lin Xiuyi.

Lin Xiuyi, who had immersed his whole body in warm water, felt a little uncomfortable. It stands to reason that he is Reina's older brother, and he should take care of Reina, but since arriving here, Reina has shown a kind of girl beyond her age. of composure. It is precisely because of this that Lin Xiuyi is vaguely worried about Lingnai. God knows how much pain she is suffering in her heart now.
