In the Matsushita Village Junior High School classroom where get out of class had just ended.
"Tomorrow is Christmas!" a half-year-old child said while packing his schoolbag.
This child is called Shantai and lives in a nearby village.
"Christmas? What is that?" Xiao Jiangcheng asked curiously.
"Huh? Don't you even know this?" Shan Taijun was a little shocked, and then began to explain to Jiang Cheng, "The so-called Christmas is a day when an old man gives gifts to children! Just write your wishes on Put the note in your socks and hang it on the bedside, and when you wake up in the morning, there will be the gift you want on your bedside!”
"Hey? Really?" Xiao Jiangcheng's eyes were filled with stars, "Is there such a good old man on this planet?!"
"Well, it's true! I receive gifts that I like every Christmas!" Shantaijun replied, and finally packed his schoolbag, "Anyway, see you tomorrow!"
With that said, the child put on his schoolbag and walked out.
However, Yamata-kun never expected that not only Jiang Cheng, but also Gintoki and Takasugi, who were fighting in the classroom, and Katsura, who was quietly reading textbooks, listened to what he said. Of course, there is also Songyang who just passed the classroom door...
…
"Hey, do you know about Christmas?" Jiang Cheng asked.
In the small dormitory of Matsushita Village School, four little guys were crowded on a small bunk.
"Hmph, do you believe that kind of thing that deceives children?" Gintoki said disdainfully while pinching his nostrils.
"But Mr. Shantai said that he receives gifts he likes every Christmas!" Jiang Cheng retorted, "Also, can you please stop picking your nose in bed! Is there anything super disgusting!"
"What?!" Takasugi said and sat up, "This idiot is picking his nose on the bed again?!"
Ignoring Takasugi and Gintoki who were pinching each other, Jiang Cheng looked at Katsura who was quiet at the side.
"Wig, do you have any wishes? Or a gift?" Jiang Cheng asked softly.
"How many times have I said it! It's not a wig, it's Gui! Why do you have to omit a pronunciation!" After that, Gui sat up and said angrily, "Also, do you really believe in that kind of thing that deceives children? Are you still a samurai like this?!"
"Hey, why does this guy look so angry?" Jiang Cheng asked in a low voice to Gintoki and Takasugi who were fighting at the side.
"Don't you know?" Gintoki let go of his hand holding Takasugi, "I heard that the proprietress of the soba noodle shop in the town was getting remarried, so what Wig has been thinking about these past few days... you know."
Gui's little face was full of resentment, "Why? Why are you so anxious to step into another vortex after coming out of one whirlpool! I can't understand!"
"You can't understand this! I've been widowed for many years and it's my turn to meet a reliable man again. Is it your turn to object?! Your wife situation is too serious!" Jiang Cheng shouted.
"What do you know?! I have talked to her a lot and know all the stories that happened to her!" Gui retorted.
"I only know that there is something wrong with your little brat's head!" Jiang Cheng replied.
"You all should be quiet!" Takasugi shouted, "Don't lure Song Yang here too! And..."
With that said, Takasugi looked at Gintoki who was wiping boogers on his pillow, "Can you please stop wiping boogers on my pillow! Who are you trying to disgust to death?!"
"Ah, private Marseille," Gintoki said, taking his hand away and wiping it on Takasugi's quilt.
"Not even the quilt! Do you want to fight, you idiot!" Gao Shan was so angry that his teeth itched.
"Fight?" Gintoki raised his little face and seemed a little disdainful, "It's just a defeated general under his command, and he's still so arrogant~"
"Huh? What do you mean by being defeated!" Takasugi was a little dissatisfied, "Now it's only twenty-nine wins and thirty losses! One day I will win them all back!"
"Yiyo, if you have the ability, give it a try."
After saying that, Takasugi stood up directly and kicked Gintoki out of bed.
"What are you doing?!" Gintoki shouted as he got up.
"Now is a good time, I can't help but want to beat you up!" With that said, Takasugi rushed towards Gintoki.
On the other hand, Jiang Cheng was discussing with Gui on the topic of whether the proprietress of the soba shop should remarry. They had already talked about the taste of the proprietress's soba noodles and the color of the underwear that Gui accidentally spotted on the clothes drying rack of the proprietress...
"You guys..." Songyang came into the room at some unknown time and asked with a squinted smile, "What are you doing up so late at night? Are you discussing some interesting topic? Do you want to take me with you?"
"Actually..." Gui Gang wanted to answer something, but Jiang Cheng's eyes quickly covered Gui's mouth with his hands.
Jiang Cheng's face was covered in cold sweat, "Actually, there is nothing! We are getting ready to go to bed! Right, Gintoki, and Xiaogao-san!"
Gintoki and Takasugi were both covered in cold sweat. They turned their heads and looked at Songyang, nodding like chickens pecking at rice.
"Huh? Really?" Songyang continued with a smile on his face, "But I seem to have heard other things, and... do you understand the consequences of lying and not sleeping in the middle of the night?"
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng's little one began to tremble.
"Private Marseille!"×4
After four crisp knocks, Songyang left the small dormitory with a satisfied look on his face. Only four little ones were left lying on the bed with big bags on their heads and passed out.
Songyang stood in the yard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and murmured: "Is it Christmas..."
…
The next day, Christmas.
Songyang dragged a small pine tree from somewhere and placed it outside the classroom. Looking out from the classroom, he could just see it.
The whole tree was hung with cloth strips of different colors by Songyang for decoration. After all, Matsushita Village School is indeed a bit poor now, and even these strips of cloth were given by the girl who runs a cloth shop in the town. Jiang Cheng has a good impression of the girl who runs a cloth shop, because the braised pork she makes is really delicious.
…
After the day's class ended, Jiang Cheng was the first to run back to the dormitory and secretly wrote something in the dormitory with a pen and paper.
"Hey, it's time to eat..." Gintoki opened the door and said, "What are you doing sneakily here?"
"Nothing done!" Jiang Cheng hurriedly put the piece of paper into his chest, turned around, smiled at Gintoki, and then walked out in a panic.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Gao Shan asked in confusion as he looked at Jiang Cheng running away.
"Who knows? I'm probably thinking about the braised pork cooked by the big sister next door..." Gintoki replied casually.
"It's just cheap pork." Gao Shan raised his lips with disdain.
"Cheap pork?" Gintoki gave Takasugi a strange look, "Don't you know the economic situation of our village? We can't even afford cheap pork."
As he said that, Gintoki seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said in a weird voice: "Oh, I almost forgot, Takasugi-san was originally a young master from a rich family~ Of course he looks down on us poor people~ After all, we poor people have nothing to do with Takasugi. This kind of young master always lives in two worlds~"
Listening to Gintoki's words, the veins on Takasugi's face began to beat...
…
At night, Jiang Cheng watched the three little ones next to him snoring, then quietly got up and put his socks on the floor in front of the pillow.
Jiang Cheng took a look and found that the three little ones next to him were still sleeping. He couldn't help but feel a little lucky, and then lay down to sleep.
When Jiang Cheng fell asleep, Gintoki opened his eyes and did the same thing as Jiang Cheng...
Then Katsura, and finally Takasugi…
…
"They are all asleep~" Songyang looked at the four sleeping little ones and smiled softly, and then looked at the four socks on the floor...
Songyang sat in his room, lit a kerosene lamp, and looked at the four socks on his table.
"[I hope to get sweets for a whole year], this should be Gintoki, and these socks are the smelliest. I thought I was hoping for smooth hair, but it would be troublesome if that's the case~" Songyang murmured .
What Songyang didn't know was that Gintoki struggled for a long time as to whether to put it in [hope to get a head of smooth hair] or [hope to get a year of sweets], but in the end, the note Gintoki chose to put in was [hope to get a year of sweets] A Year of Sweet Treats].
"And this, [I hope the proprietress of the soba shop will not remarry!], who... is this?" Songyang was a little confused, but after seeing the content behind the note, Songyang understood. It said: "It's not a wig." It's Gui!]
After that, Songyang picked up the remaining two socks.
[I hope to grow taller, just taller than Gintoki!]
[I want meat buns!]
"These two should be Jin Zhu and Jiang Cheng..." Song Yang murmured.
…
The next day, Jiang Cheng woke up first, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to look at his bedside.
"Ah! It really came true!" Jiang Cheng shouted in disbelief.
"Ah, realization? What realization?" Gintoki was woken up by Jiang Cheng and asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Santa Claus! Santa Claus is really here!" Jiang Cheng said excitedly, and at the same time showed Gintoki the small package of meat buns in his arms.
"Hey?! Really?!" As he said that, Gintoki quickly looked at the head of his bed.
But there is something different. In front of Gintoki, there are only a small bag of red bean seeds, a bag of white sugar and a small piece of paper: [If you plant these, you will harvest a whole year's worth of red beans next year. Sprinkle with white sugar and it will be a dessert!]
"What is this?!!!" Gintoki shouted.
At the same time, Gui and Takasugi also quickly checked their bedside.
The reply to Takasugi was: [Don’t be picky about food, exercise more, go to bed early and get up early.]
The reply to Gui was: [I have conveyed your feelings on your behalf.]
Gui breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "If it's Santa Claus, she should listen."
"What else seems to be written at the back?" Jiang Cheng reminded.
"Huh?" Gui said, turning over the note, [Everyone from Matsushita Village School will be invited to the wedding~]
"What is all this?!" Gintoki, Takasugi and Katsura were all going crazy at the same time.
"What did you write in it?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"...What does it have to do with you?!" Gintoki yelled, "Also, you didn't really just write that you wanted meat buns, did you?"
"Really." Jiang Cheng replied.
"Why are you the only one who has your wish fulfilled! Why is my wish just a packet of red bean seeds and a packet of white sugar?" Gintoki said bitterly, "What Santa Claus! I don't believe it anymore!"
"Don't say that~" Jiang Cheng said, handing his meat buns to Gintoki and the other three, "Santa Claus has fulfilled my wish~ You must be too greedy, and Santa Claus is not the child who is too greedy. Will like it.”
"I'm super angry right now! I really want to beat you up!" Gintoki winked at Katsura and Takasugi as he said that. The two understood and surrounded Jiang Cheng at the same time.
Facing the siege of three people, Jiang Cheng was somewhat outnumbered...
Outside the door, Songyang was sitting under the eaves, holding a cup of hot tea and looking at the rising sun in the distance. Listening to the fuss of the four little ones in the house, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth...
…
PS: In fact, Jiang Cheng did not buy the meat buns, but the girl from the bun shop forced them on Songyang. Originally, Songyang wanted to use a small bag of flour instead of the meat buns...
PS: Jiang Cheng’s bag of meat buns was eventually shared with Songyang and three other little ones...
