At dusk, four little ones, who had been noisy all afternoon in the hot summer, were lying like dead fish at the front desk of a certain ramen restaurant.
As for Meiyou, from the outside, she seems to be sitting quietly at the front desk with her head lowered, but maybe only she knows the extent of the turmoil in her heart.
Nishiki Isomatsu, the proprietress of the ramen shop-Hokuto Shingen, looked at the few little guys lying motionless on the table like zombies, showing a bit of helplessness, frowning slightly and looking at her eyes closed with a satisfied expression. Gui Gui said.
"I asked you, are you too harsh on them? In such a hot weather, you took the children under the scorching summer for an entire afternoon without even allowing them to replenish water or anything, and they didn't even prepare dinner properly. What…"
"Ah, Basang (Grandma), do you want me to come over?" Ginta's haggard face showed eyes that had long been lifeless and her heart was ashen, and she was still muttering softly.
Takaya, who kept the same expression, said in a hoarse voice: "Ginta, no, that's my grandma, and that was actually a conspiracy of the Dark Dragon Association. I asked grandma to wave to me from across the river with toys and snacks. of… "
"No, Chuunibyou." Issei, who had the same expression, weakly answered, "The old lady on the bridge over there is the real trap. She definitely wants us to drink the drugged iced mung bean soup. Then sell us to a place with many strange mothers-in-law.”
"That's it..." Ginta and Takaya responded feebly at the same time.
Zhu was feebly surprised: "Grandma? Isn't she a big sister with a good figure? Damn it, I was so careless, I almost fell into the trap of grandma's ecstasy."
"Ikusatsuden, everything I do is for them! As Wu... no, as little people who will support this new era in the future, one day they will take over this new era from our hands. Bear heavy responsibilities! That’s why we need to exercise from an early age! No matter how hot the summer is! No matter how cold the winter is! One day they will have to face it alone! Do you mean to give up because of that little bit of heat? No! No! It should be perseverance to the end. That's right! I'm different from the other students of the teacher! I'm the most serious one! I just want to instill these beliefs into their hearts! Even if I can't bear it, I will stick to my principles! As the saying goes Well, a loving mother often fails, but a filial son emerges from under the stick! So at this moment, I am playing the role of a strict stepmother! It doesn’t matter if I am misunderstood or suspected! This is my duty! It is what the deceased person entrusted to me. !”
Looking at Gui, who was clenching his fists and already crying, Issei instantly complained.
"I can't stand your size! You are just obsessed with the cat's balls and are so obsessed with yourself that you forget yourself! Why would you describe yourself as a serious stepmother? I can't understand it at all!"
"No, Issei-san," Gui shook his head, "the stepmother here is actually different from the stepmother you usually think of as someone who abuses children. She was just left behind for her husband when he was about to close his eyes after an accident. With the words "We must train our children to be promising", I suppressed my grief, put away my gentleness, changed my usual attitude, and became extremely serious towards my children! A reason even stricter than your own biological child... Do you understand this time? ! 10% classmate! "
"I understand you are big! The explanation is too long!" Issei rolled his eyes and yelled with his veins popping, "And they are completely different things! By the way, the teacher is not dead yet! You are not the second widow either!"
"No, no, no, you are wrong, Issei-san." Gui shook her head again, "Actually, Mieko was not a widow for two consecutive terms. Before marrying her second late husband, she divorced because she couldn't stand the cold attitude of her previous husband. .By the way, Mieko met her late husband before she divorced her previous husband."
"This kind of thing doesn't matter! After all, no one wants to know! By the way, that's NTR!"
"Yeah, you're a teachable kid. It's so easy to understand the first half of the plot that I haven't talked about." Gui showed a bit of relief.
"You guy!!" Issei gritted his teeth, but before he could pounce on Gui, he was lifted up from behind by Elizabeth on the side.
[Chasing and fighting in a small space is very dangerous. If you hit a corner, it will be very painful.]
"Wulu Sai! You leather-covered uncle! Even if you wear such clothes, you can't hide the uncle's smell on you!"
"Look, look, let me tell you, but sir," Gui spread his book and pinched his throat and said helplessly, "If you are too gentle with your children, this will be the result. They will not listen to discipline at all."
"Is this my husband?!" Yicheng complained crazily, "Hurry up and let me go!"
"That's enough, 10%. It's useless what you say." Gintai held his face with one hand and slowly took out an A4 paper and a pen from his arms with the other hand, very casually. Authentic: "At this time, isn't it already possible to draw a conclusion? Zero points."
Hearing the sound, Takaya, Zhu and Meiyou took out a piece of A4 paper and a ballpoint pen from their arms at the same time.
"That's right." Yi Cheng, who was put down by Elizabeth, also took out a piece of A4 paper and a ballpoint pen from his arms.
Looking at the five little heads lying on the counter and starting to write and draw on the paper, Gui showed a happy expression and said: "Not bad, not bad. After social practice, I have the habit of summarizing what I have learned that day." It’s a good habit. This is extremely important and you can’t forget it even in the future.”
At this time, Isatsu, who was lying on the counter and looking down at the five little ones, shook his head: "No, what they wrote doesn't seem to be what you think."
"Isn't it?"
"But it has something to do with you."
"Really? Are you recording my every word and deed so that you can take it out and read it at any time in the future?" As he said that, Gui took a quick glance at it, but when he saw the paper, "Senior brothers from Matsushita Village School, in your mind After the words "scores and rankings" were written, he was stunned for an instant.
Ginta said: "Don't think about it, this one is definitely the bottom one, zero points."
"Zero points? You are really gentle," Yi Cheng curled his lips, "It's already a negative point here."
"Minus 999999999..." The negative sign on Gao Wu's paper was followed by countless 9s.
"Two points is enough." Zhu also gave a very fair score.
Six points. Meiyou also wrote down her own score for Gui after thinking about it.
"This...this...what is this?!" Gui finally reacted and screamed in horror with his eyes wide open.
"This," Ginta shook the A4 paper in his hand and continued casually, "this is the homework given to us by the teacher. It is said that the authorities are not sure about a few former students, so they can give it to them. We outsiders who have never come into contact with you are here to rate you. By the way, your end has ended early, and we are going to the next place. By the way, can you give us the address?"
"Really, I just played a little joke on you three days ago and you actually took it seriously." Gui instantly changed his attitude and shook his head with a bitter smile, "You know, when you see cute juniors, adults can't help teasing them. Well, from tonight onwards we will officially start the fun educational and entertaining social practice. But even though I was joking with you, I actually got a passing grade. Hahahaha, it seems the joke was on. It was very unsuccessful, hahahaha..."
"You promised that you would stick to your principles?" Jisong on the side couldn't help complaining, "By the way, do you think you can get away with it this way?"
"Passed?" Yi Cheng glanced at Gui with a strange look, "No, you think too much, uncle, the full score is 100 points."
"Who is the big one..." Gui immediately retorted with big red eyes, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted, cleared his throat and continued: "In short, starting from tomorrow is the real social practice Oh, a very interesting, very fun, and very happy social practice. It’s not too late to save this kind of thing until the end. Ikusatsuden, please give these hateful...several very cute juniors each a share in the store. The luxurious ramen, the one with plenty of barbecued pork.”
Ikumatsu, who turned his head and started working on his own, said casually: "I know, five bowls of soba noodles, right?"
"No, no, no, I'm talking about the family portrait ramen with plenty of barbecued pork. Ikatsudon really loves to joke, hahaha..."
"Soba noodles with only salt and almost rotten vegetables. Are you going to throw away the vegetables? I understand, please wait a moment."
"Isatsudon, please!" In the end, Gui knocked his head heavily on the counter.
Hearing the sound, Jisong sighed heavily. He was about to turn around and say something, but before he could speak, the store door was suddenly opened.
Looking at the man with a white kelp head and a scar on his face dressed as a delivery boy, Ikumatsu smiled broadly.
"Thank you for your hard work. Have you finished delivering them?"
"Ah, Miss Ikumatsu, today's items have all been delivered." As he said that, he stepped forward and took out a thick stack of bills, money and car keys. "Here are the receipts that everyone signed, and I received the money and the keys.”
"Thank you, Almighty House-san." After saying that, Ikamatsu took the order, money and keys from Hagi, and took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Hagi, "I will ask you again if you are busy in the future. .”
"You're always welcome. I have my next part-time job, so I'll take my leave now." He nodded in thanks.
Seeing Hajime turning around and leaving, Ikamatsu said with emotion: "He is really a nice man. Not only does he work hard and never complain, but he also does a perfect job every time he is asked to do it. Not only is the food delivery fast, but he also doesn't even have the soup. It will spread out, and everyone will unanimously praise it."
"Jisongdian, who was that just now?" Gui, who hadn't clearly seen Wu's appearance, asked at this time.
"Oh, you are talking about him. I don't know his real name, but everyone on the street spontaneously started calling him Mr. Magnum House. As long as it is a job that everyone asks for, everything will be completed very neatly and in a very short time. , he is very serious in all his work, and the price is not expensive. Everyone on the street likes him, but he doesn’t talk much, and it’s rare to see him smile.”
"Universal House?" Gui thought thoughtfully.
"It feels great." Gao Ya said.
Issei nodded: "Indeed, it sounds like a reliable adult."
Ginta and Zhu on the side also nodded in agreement, and even Miyu, who spoke little, nodded lightly.
"So, how about it?" Isomatsu put his hands on his hips and looked at the five little guys, "Instead of following a guy who may not learn anything, why not try to continue your social practice with Mr. Universal House just now? I can Please help him."
"Is that okay?" Zhu asked in surprise.
"If that's your choice, I can help a little bit."
"Hey, wait a minute." Gao Ya frowned and said, "We still have tasks given by the teacher..."
"But social practice is also our task, right?" Yi Cheng said with his chin propped up, "But following such a bad guy, our social practice will definitely achieve nothing..."
"That makes sense," Zhu nodded, "But the teacher is missing now, can we make up our own minds?"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, our social practice hasn't started yet, the real social practice will start tomorrow!" Gui hurriedly said.
However, the little guys weren't listening at all.
"Don't always have to ask others to make decisions for you, Zhu." Ginta glanced at Zhu and said.
Yi Cheng took the words with a casual expression: "Didn't the teacher say it in class? No matter how many opinions and suggestions others give you, the final choice can only be made by yourself. Of course, because it is your own choice, there will be consequences. You have to bear it yourself, and in the end..."
Gao Ya took over the words: "...No matter what life you choose in the future, the teacher will believe in the life you choose and be proud of it."
"Perhaps this time is a test, testing whether we can make our own choices." Issei held his chin and murmured analysis.
"Well, I think so too." Meiyou said the first sentence in this book.
"It's actually like this..." Zhu suddenly realized.
"So..." Ginta looked at the four friends beside him.
Several people looked at each other and said at the same time: "Of course it's a reliable one..."
"Wait a minute!!" Gui, who had been ignored for a long time, finally spoke up to stop her. Then she showed a smile that was uglier than crying and was still trying to control it. "Then what, our real social practice is just about to start tomorrow, Elizabeth and I just made a plan. I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but now I can only spoil it in advance. Tomorrow our practice venue will be the sea park ~ and the day after tomorrow it will be an amusement park ~ and the day after tomorrow …”
"What about that, uncle." Issei interrupted Gui's self-explanation, "Did you misunderstand something? Our homework is social practice, not play. Are you really planning to take us to real social practice? ?"
"Of course...of course." Gui tried his best to maintain the smile on his face, "As an animal protector, observing the habits of sea creatures is also a very important job. In short, eat quickly and prepare for tomorrow with anticipation. Let’s practice it socially.”
"Guisang, that's enough." Zhu shook his head, the expression of regret on his face was self-evident.
Gao Wu rarely spoke in the second grade, but folded his hands and said seriously: "To be honest, we started grading you when we saw the so-called senior brothers in your teachers' mouth. To be honest, the first impression … Very bad.”
"They passed the blame to each other and teased the children. When the teacher finally said, "The best student in Matsushita Village School," he suddenly showed a completely different expression. To be honest, at that time I wanted to leave directly. "
Listening to Ginta's words, Gui instantly retorted: "No, I didn't participate in such an ugly fight! It's different from them!"
Issei jumped down from his seat at this time, put his hands in his pockets and continued calmly: "Guisang, you call yourself an animal protector, so your job should be to call on people to protect the endangered or ongoing animals on this earth. Go to endangered animals and do something for them at the same time. But does what you do these two days have anything to do with these things? You are just playing with meat balls based on your hobby."
“In my eyes, there is no distinction between endangered and overpopulated animals!”
Ginta curled his lips and said calmly: "It is indeed a perfect excuse, but I'm sorry, after two days, we haven't found that you have done anything for stray cats. Most of the time, you just follow me with a drunken look. It’s just a stray cat playing.”
"Feed them too!"
Zhu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Guisang, I don't think it's appropriate to be called an animal protector for doing such a simple thing? Maybe it's more appropriate to simply be called a cat lover...a meatball person, right? And , if you really think about those stray cats, you should at least do some work to appeal to people not to abandon their pet cats casually? But, I am really sorry, you have not done anything similar to this. It is entirely on your own Acting according to your hobbies is like... completely without goals. Do you think what I said is right, Guisang?"
After hearing this, Gui was inexplicably stunned and opened his eyes as wide as possible.
What the kid said was not wrong. At the junction of this era, he indeed seemed to have lost his goal...
"Perhaps you think we are relatively young, but without boasting," Takaya crossed his arms and looked at Meiyou aside, "we are all geniuses recognized by the teacher."
As soon as Takaya finished speaking, Meiyou beside her had already finished drawing a portrait at a very fast speed - Jisong who was busy.
[So fast!]Elizabeth held up the billboard.
"Actually, there is one thing you have thought wrong from the very beginning, that is, we are completely different from you." Yichen slumped his shoulders, there was no mockery in his words, but more of helplessness and reality.
Ginta also jumped off the stool and said: "In short, that's it. We had a general understanding of your situation before coming here, and combined with the first impression, the rough score has already been released. Although what I say next It may seem a little arrogant and make you feel uncomfortable, but I still have to say it. The same teacher, even the same personality, but we will definitely surpass you in the future. Uncle, if you don’t want to be left too far, it’s better to hurry up It would be better for you to find your own new goal. This country is still changing day by day, never stopping or even running. As a citizen of this country, how can we stand still?"
"Come on, uncle." Issei waved his hand, and then he and his friends bowed politely to Gui at the same time.
"Thank you for your care these days, Guisang! We are going to participate in real social practice!"×5
