Chapter 871 23 Things About the Yukinoshita Family
Chapter 871 23 Things About the Yukinoshita Family
A cat-shaped paper doll was placed in the most conspicuous position on the bookshelf in Yukinoshita Yukino's room. It was a firework.
Specifically, after being ignited, a black firework will be pulled out from under the tail, accompanied by an unknown buzzing sound, which is not known whether it is a cat's meow or constipation.
Such malicious fireworks were naturally bought by Hojo Kyosuke to be set off on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi. He originally wanted to play a prank on Yukino, but he completely underestimated the girl's ability.
"Okay, from now on, whenever I see this pooping cat, I'll think of camping at the foot of Mount Fuji with you guys, Hojo."
Yukinoshita said this while smiling, and Hojo Kyosuke's face turned so dark.
Anyone who is associated with poop is unhappy, even if it's cat poop. Oh, except Yukinoshita.
After I packed my things and took a shower, the hour hand on the wall clock had already pointed to seven o'clock.
Yukinoshita Yukino sat on the edge of the bed, touched the hair dryer cap, and hesitated whether to wait for her hair to dry naturally or use a hair dryer to quickly dry it, and then go to bed and rest.
When her eyes drifted to the hair dryer, a thought suddenly came to her mind.
Ms. Yamazaki was so happy to hear about my trip. Would my parents hear about it?
It’s not that the hair dryer was obtained from my parents, but the Mr. Pan sticker on the hair dryer.
The dark eyes that seemed to see through all the blackness of the world, the unruly and contemptuous smile on the corners of his mouth...
Although I fell in love with cats and pandas simply because they are really cute and it has nothing to do with the book my father gave me, I always think of my father when I see Mr. Pan.
What is Dad doing now? Is he being taught by Mom? Or is he busy dealing with the affairs of the councillors and the company? Or maybe...
The girl's eyes suddenly dimmed, because she thought that her sister was probably at home at the moment, and there was no need for her to make wild guesses like herself.
call out--
Yukinoshita Yukino stood up suddenly, pulled off the hair dryer cap, picked up the hair dryer and started blowing her hair.
Then it was time to choose clothes. In a popular tourist city like Atami, even the things in the specialty shops were not much more expensive, not to mention the various specialized stores in the shopping malls. So under the leadership of Hojo's mother, the girls went on a shopping spree.
A white knee-length skirt made of cotton and linen, a black T-shirt, and a light blue chiffon jacket.
Yukino stood in front of the closet and looked at herself in the mirror. She pulled at the hem of her skirt and gently twisted her body left and right. She tugged at her sleeves and touched her hair in an awkward and unnatural manner.
Maybe... I am cute now?
The moment this doubt arose, the girl confirmed herself.
That's right! I'm very cute now! The coat was given by Aunt Mikiko, the skirt was picked out by Yingliang, and the T-shirt is from Nitro-chan...
In short, it's very cute.
She picked up a small shoulder bag and put her cell phone, keys and other things in it. Just as she was about to go out, her eyes hesitated at the bag again.
If I go home now, I will definitely have to stay overnight... No, shouldn't I use 'stay overnight'?
But if you bring a school bag, it will ruin your outfit...
After hesitating for a moment, Yukino decisively closed the door.
Well... I won't bring the book to school tomorrow. Anyway, I'll have mastered what the teacher said even if I don't listen.
Homework? There was homework, but on the night of the holiday, after receiving Hojo's invitation to travel, Yukinoshita Yukino was so excited that she had to use homework to pass the time. When she came to her senses, she had already finished all of it.
After asking the front desk of the apartment to help call a taxi, Yukinoshita Yukino went out with her small bag.
Shinagawa Ward, Yukinoshita Residence
Of course, there was no need to ring the doorbell when she arrived at her own home, and Yukino walked into the house quietly.
Yukinoshita Souki is preparing a budget proposal with the help of his wife. This kind of thing is the most troublesome. Because it has to be made public, it must be meticulous, but it cannot ignore the needs of all parties. It must not be criticized by the public and reporters, and at the same time, everyone can benefit from it. It is really troublesome.
If he had to say it, he might as well tell the voters directly: "Ah, this time we plan to embezzle xxx million yen. Of course, if you don't agree, we won't embezzle on the surface, but we will embezzle secretly in a way that you can't understand at all. But in that case, we will have to embezzle more."
This is such a simple thing. If it is not for rights, who would be willing to be a member of parliament? Is it really for the realization of ideals and the creation of a fair, just and beautiful world?
Stop kidding! If you have that much time, you might as well play a few more rounds of mahjong!
Speaking of mahjong, Yukinoshita Souji suddenly remembered that he hadn't played mahjong for three months.
Oh, I wonder if Xiaoma will feel lonely without my patting? I wonder if Xiaoma's skin will be too dry without my hand sweat? I don't know...
Woohoo, my little mahjong...
Thinking about it, he whispered tentatively:
"Um, Chiyo, Akagi asked me to go last week to discuss his son's appointment as an assistant in my office, but the holiday was over and I didn't..."
"I have already discussed that matter with Mrs. Akagi and recommended her son to a councillor in the Minato District, so..."
Yukinoshita Chiyo raised her head and stared at her husband with cold eyes:
"If you want to play mahjong, you are not allowed."
In a tone that was neither light nor heavy nor harsh, Mr. Yukinoshita said dejectedly, "Hi."
But after he opened his mind, he was unwilling to turn his attention to the boring work. Anyway, he had a capable wife to help him, so it didn't matter if he was lazy. As long as he signed and stamped at the end, it would be fine.
So he stood up skillfully, stretched his arms, twisted his neck and began to pretend to relax his body, but in fact he was wasting time.
But after he twisted his waist twice, his waist suddenly stopped at 30 degrees to the right.
"Snow, snow, snow, snow...Xue Bao——!!"
The old father opened his mouth wide, and his handsome old face was instantly filled with surprise.
At the sound of "Snowboy", the three girls in the family turned their eyes over at the same time. Mr. Yukinoshita, who was at the bottom of the food chain, froze in surprise and broke out in a cold sweat.
So he quickly changed the subject:
"喏chan~~~" (yukino's のchan)
The results of changing the name were significant. Mr. Yukinoshita could feel that his wife had shifted her terrifying gaze away from him, but his eldest daughter Haruno was still staring at him in the living room.
So he quickly changed the subject:
"Xiaobao~~~"
This series of tremolo sounds entered her ears, and Yukino Yukinoshita, who was changing shoes at the entrance, couldn't help but feel a chill.
The girl raised her head and looked at her father with great disgust, thinking, why not just leave?
But she would not have such an opportunity, because at her father's reminder, her mother, who was sitting in the Japanese-style room with her back to her, stood up.
Even though it was late at night, Yukinoshita Chiyo was still wearing a proper kimono, and it was not the light-weight yukata-like clothes they wore in the hotel. She was quite meticulous.
"Yukino, you're back."
Hearing her mother's words, Yukino quickly stood up and nodded politely, saying hello, "I'm back." At this moment, she seemed to be possessed by Mr. Yukinoshita. This is the situation of the second and first in the food chain of the Yukinoshita family.
If you want to be honest, you can say that the father and daughter are Yukinoshita's No. 3 and No. 4, but they both know that the winners of the competition can only be the top two.
This is fully reflected in the way the couple dress. Unlike Mrs. Yukinoshita who always maintains a perfect posture, Mr. Yukinoshita is disgusted by suits even though he is used to them. He will wear anything he wants unless he is going out. If he didn't have two young daughters at home, he would definitely wear shorts and a vest or go shirtless.
This is very similar to Hojo, who completely separates his career and personal life. The girl thought quietly.
As if he saw his little daughter standing at the entrance looking a little awkward, Mr. Yukinoshita walked over quickly with a happy smile.
"Hey, how long has it been since you came back, Xiao Xueno? One year? Two years? Or three years? Daddy misses you so much!"
The father said loudly.
Yukino was about to say "I came back more than ten days ago", but was blocked by the words "Daddy misses you so much". Her heart was blocked as well and she became depressed.
She whispered, "I'm sorry, Dad, for making you..."
"Come here quickly, let daddy see if you have lost weight. Did you have a good trip? Did you take a taxi? Why didn't you let the driver pick you up? Do you need daddy to take you to Hojo's house to see his parents now?"
Yukino cried out with a headache: "Dad——! What are you talking about!"
Mr. Yukinoshita seemed to have no idea what he had said. He simply ignored his daughter's reproach, walked forward to take the small bag and began to ask about her well-being.
After the family sat down on the sofa in the living room, an idea suddenly occurred to Xueno's mind:
Are you receiving guests?
But she immediately drove the thought out of her mind, not because of her overly enthusiastic father sitting next to her, or her sister sitting opposite with an ambiguous look on her face, but because she knew that such an illusion only appeared because of her mother's aura.
Even though they have been together for so many years, she can still see her father standing in front of her mother like a primary school student facing his teacher. Of course, her sister is the same, but her sister often acts indifferent because her mother needs her to inherit the Yukinoshita family.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
A hearty laugh rescued Yukino from her father's caring hell. She really couldn't explain to her father that she was just traveling with her female friends, Hojo was just a pendant, and her sister also went.
But this rescue was not out of goodwill, but rather full of malice, because the person laughing was none other than her sister who had an "Ahaha~" expression on her face the moment she stepped into the house.
Yukinoshita Haruno crossed her left leg over her right leg, her toes twitching, and her cotton slippers almost falling off. Such frivolous behavior was extremely irritating in the eyes of Mrs. Yukinoshita, but she was obviously enjoying it.
She laughed and said with a playful smile: "I told you that Xiao Xueno would definitely come home today!"
Hearing this, Yukino suddenly turned her head to look at her father, and saw an expression that said "Only the elder sister can understand the younger sister".
hateful……
I'm so unwilling to be seen through again!
Yukino felt a strong sense of shame in her heart and clenched her fists tightly. If her mother had not been there, she would have started to ask her father and sister what they had said.
Although I guessed that my sister might be at home, it didn't matter at all. Because if my sister, as the heir, didn't come home to report at this time, my mother might directly hire a large number of people to search for her.
But I made the decision to go home suddenly. An hour and a half ago, I didn't even know that I would be at home.
Damn it! I am so unwilling, so unwilling...
Yukinoshita Yukino puffed up her cheeks slightly, she was extremely angry.
Looking at his sister's appearance, Yang Nai was overjoyed and his toes swayed a little faster.
Mrs. Yukinoshita, who was sitting alone on a sofa, saw everything. A hint of surprise flashed across her face at her little daughter's behavior.
Whether it was his sudden return home tonight or his silence after Yang No's teasing, she was surprised.
"It seems..."
She spoke softly.
When the supreme goddess spoke, not only did Mr. Yukinoshita shut his mouth, but Haruno also put down his feet obediently, and Yukino even put her knees together and placed her hands on her thighs.
Sure enough, it was more like reporting work than entertaining guests...
The girl thought to herself.
This inexplicable thought surprised her, because if it were in the past, she would be frantically guessing what her mother would say, and then thinking about how she should say it, guessing what her sister would say, and figuring out what kind of answer her mother wanted.
And now, I would actually complain about my mother so frivolously...
Hahaha, as expected, I was infected by those idiots like Hojo and Sakura.
"It seems..."
Looking at her little daughter with a serious face, Mrs. Yukinoshita suddenly smiled:
"Yukino, you must have enjoyed your trip~"
Xue No was slightly startled, then nodded quickly:
"Yes! Although I'm a little uncomfortable, but... I'm really happy. I'm still happy even though I just got home!"
She spoke candidly about her feelings.
“Is that so… That’s good…”
Mrs. Yukinoshita smiled slightly, then turned to look at her husband:
"Zongshu, we need to hurry up with that proposal."
Looking at his wife's innocent smile like that of their youth, Mr. Yukinoshita pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, nodded with a wry smile, then looked at his little daughter reluctantly and prepared to return to his painful work.
Suddenly, Yukinoshita Yukino was the only one left on the long sofa, and the girl was at a loss for a moment.
"mom!"
Her mouth reacted before her thoughts, and so did her body, and Yukino stood up.
"Ok?"
Mrs. Yukinoshita paused, twisted her upper body and turned her head. Even with this movement, the sleeves of her robe gathered in front of her did not sway at all, as graceful as a peony.
The ten toes hidden in the cotton slippers quietly gripped the soles, and Yukinoshita Yukino said hurriedly:
"I want to tell you and Dad about what happened on the trip!"
Finally, she added:
"And my sister."
But she regretted it after she said this. Didn't she and her sister go out to play together? Her sister even got on the car before her.
But she was sure of one thing: her sister would never tell her mother about the interesting things that happened during the trip.
Because the mother's behavior of getting up and leaving just now was not directed at herself, but also at her sister.
"Oh~~?"
Mrs. Yukinoshita was stunned at first, then a smile mixed with surprise and strangeness appeared on her face.
"Okay, I was thinking of asking you again later," she said.
Haruno, who was sitting opposite Yukino, also laughed and said:
"I was wondering how long the coward Yukino-chan would wait before speaking~~"
I'm not a coward!
Xue Noi grumbled inwardly, but then she thought unwillingly: I've been seen through again...
As for Mr. Yukinoshita, he had already sat on the sofa, poured tea for the three goddesses at home, and then closed his legs and prepared to listen attentively.
"Hurry up! I can't wait to hear Yukino's story!" (End of this chapter)
