Yokohama is located in the southern part of the Kanto region of Japan. The climate is similar to that of southern Jiangsu. It has four distinct seasons throughout the year. In winter, the temperature is basically around 50 to 6 degrees Celsius.
Asaba Rika's home is a single-family house with a two-story building. In front of the house is a courtyard, with green vegetation growing in front of the door. It doesn't look particularly luxurious, but it is full of sophistication.
A beautiful woman was pruning flowers and plants in the yard. She was Rika's mother, Miori Takegawa. After marrying Kazuo Asaba, she took his surname.
Before Rika was born, the couple called each other's names affectionately. After Rika was born, Asaba Kazuo called her Rika's mother, and Miori also called him Rika's father.
Today is December 26th, and the weather in Yokohama is also very good. The afternoon sun shines on the yard, making it look quiet and elegant. As well as Miori Asaba who is concentrating on pruning flowers and plants in the yard, giving people a very harmonious and gentle feeling. Feel.
"Mother!"
Before the car drove into the house, Rika couldn't wait to get out of the car and ran in. She hugged her mother Miori and hugged her with great strength.
"Rika?! Eh? Put mom down quickly!"
Asaba Rika is now taller than her mother. Her father is about 1.7 meters tall and her mother is about 1.6 meters tall. She has grown to 1.65 meters tall.
She is obviously a big girl, but she still acts like a child.
"I miss you so much!"
"Mom misses you too!"
Rika held Miori's face and kissed her, they looked more like sisters.
After four months of absence, when Rika returned to her mother, she was like a little kitten, clinging to her side. She would follow Miori wherever she went, holding her waist and covering her face. Stick to her body and chatter with her.
Kazuo Asaba was very tired. As soon as his daughter came back, he occupied his wife. However, Miori still loved her very much. The mother and daughter often slept together, leaving him alone in the room.
"Rika holds her mother like this, and she can't even do housework."
"Well~ I don't care, I just want to hold you~"
Miori returned to the kitchen to reheat the prepared meals. Rika was stuck to her like a backpack and couldn't get rid of it.
Until Asaha Kazuo coughed and reminded her: "You are home, why don't you call Shen Yu and tell her?"
"Eh? That's right!"
Li Xiang almost forgot important things, ran back to her room with her cell phone in hand, and called Shen Yu.
Only then did Asaba Kazuo find an opportunity. He walked quietly behind his wife who was wearing a goose-yellow apron. He followed Rika's example and hugged Miori's waist. He rested his chin on her shoulder and pricked her with his beard. Her face was filled with pleasure as she prepared lunch for the family.
Miori was very tired, feeling like she had turned into a wombat. She had just given away a small wombat, and now she had a big wombat attached to her, and this big wombat was very dishonest.
"Lixiang dad, don't make trouble, Lixiang will see you soon..."
"Let me tell you something, Rika has someone she likes."
"Eh? No way? When did it happen?"
"I'm just thinking about what to do. Does Rika's mother have any ideas?"
"I don't know either..."
…
After knowing that Li Xiang had gotten into her father's car, Shen Yu felt relieved and sat in front of the computer to work peacefully.
The WeChat video call ringtone rang. He glanced and saw that it was Li Xiang calling again.
What are you doing? You don’t do anything serious all day long. You just make phone calls. Do you think I will answer it
Bai Xiaomeng tapped her cat's paw and helped Shen Yu connect the video call.
In the picture, she could be seen looking at the camera curiously, but she didn't see Shen Yu, only Bai Xiaomeng's big cat face.
"Xiao Meng?"
"Meow."
"Where is Mr. Shen Yu?"
"Meow wow wow."
"Xiaomeng, let him answer the phone quickly."
"Meow, meow, meow."
Chen Yu glanced at the phone on the table and clicked on the speakerphone, but did not pick up the phone. He could see Li Xiang, and Li Xiang could only see Bai Xiaomeng.
"what?"
"Shen Yujun, I'm home!"
"It'll be good when we get there. I'm working and my phone is out of gas. That's it."
"No, no, no, I'll show you my room."
"I do not want to look."
Li Xiang ignored him and held up her cell phone to take pictures of her room for Chen Yu to see.
Bai Xiaomeng curiously raised her head to look at the big cat, blocking Shen Yu's sight, and Shen Yu hugged it away.
The layout of the room is full of Japanese style. Most of the furniture is made of wood. It is simple and exquisite. The overall color is warm. There are many anime posters on the wall and there are exquisite girls on the table. Figure, her bed is light pink with many cute stuffed animals on it.
Lixiang opened the curtains, and the sun shone in. There was a sunny doll on the windowsill and a pot of green plants.
Although she was not at home, her mother Miori would still help her clean the room, which looked spotless, tidy and comfortable.
Opposite the bed was an oversized wardrobe. Lixiang opened the door of the wardrobe and showed him her beautiful clothes.
It contains the uniforms she wore when she was in junior high and high school, as well as the Lolita skirts she collected, and a lot of costumes for cosplaying anime girls. This is her hobby and she just wears it at home. If she wears it out, she is still very shy.
"Deng Deng~! Look, Mr. Shen Yu! This is a maid outfit! It's the same style as the one Xiaomeng No. 1 wears!"
Rika took off the maid suit from the hanger, a white maid headscarf, a white apron and a black skirt with lace hem, and a pair of white suspender stockings. She held the skirt in one hand and put it on herself Comparisons were made and pictures were taken for Chen Yu to see.
Chen Yu calmly took a screenshot and said curiously:
"So you designed the costume for Xiao Meng No. 1 based on this one?"
"Yes, if Shen Yujun wants to see it, I... I can also wear it secretly and take pictures for you..."
Li Xiang blushed. She had never worn a maid uniform to show it to others. If it was Shen Yujun, that would be fine.
"Then I definitely don't want to see it."
"Huh, forget it then!"
After visiting her room, Lixiang held up her mobile phone and went to introduce her home to him.
Shen Yu took it very seriously. Who knows if I will have the opportunity to visit her house in the future. If I stay at her house then, I will at least know which room I will live in, so I have an idea.
Miori had already prepared lunch and called Lixiang to eat. Lixiang took pictures of Shen Yu's mother's cooking before reluctantly turning off the video call.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Lixiang was very hungry. She hadn't eaten the food cooked by her mother for a long time, so she felt very full after this meal.
The conversation at the dinner table was basically about what Li Xiang had seen, heard and felt during this period.
At the end, Miori asked her carefully: "Has Rixiang decided to marry to China? Is she going to marry this boy Shen Yu?"
Li Xiang's face suddenly turned red, and she hesitated: "Still, we haven't gotten married so soon! Now we... we are not together yet... Mom, what do you think?"
"Mom doesn't know either..."
Miori put away the dishes and said, "But if Rika likes it, my mother will support you. You are twenty years old this year and can get married."
Getting married in Japan is also a big event, but the etiquette and customs are not as complicated as in China, and the bride price is very small. When converted into RMB, it is generally about 60,000 yuan. There is no requirement to own a house or a car. In the Kanto region, there are also Half of the bride price is returned, and the marriage is mainly between the two parties. Parents do not need to obtain consent. The man can register the marriage when he is over 18 years old and the woman is over 16 years old.
Most of the opinions of parents are based on the well-matched family. For example, the Shen Yu family is very suitable for their family. If Rika also likes Shen Yu, then Asaba Kazuo and Miori are very supportive.
Shen Yu, who was still bathing in the pot, didn't know that Li Xiang was starting to discuss the wedding...
Kazuo Asaba thought for a while and said: "How about I go to China after the New Year to formally propose marriage to Mr. Shen? He may also come over on New Year's Day..."
Miori patted him and said speechlessly: "Rixiang's father is confused again. How can the girl's family take the initiative to propose marriage? Doesn't this mean that our Rixiang is given away in vain..."
Li Xiang also nodded her head, blushing and said: "I, I don't want to give it for free... I want to wait for Mr. Shen Yu to confess to me... propose to me..."
Although when she heard Asaba Kazuo said that she was going to propose marriage, Lixiang was still very excited and excited. She almost wished that she and her father could bring the bride price to Uncle Shen and Auntie Shen to propose marriage, and then marry Shen Yujun tomorrow, and tomorrow night. Sleep with him and get him openly! It’s so exciting just thinking about it! !
In this case, Li Xiang can also tell everyone excitedly that I have a husband!
But this is not possible. Shen Yujun is about to be cooked. If you are too impatient, you will cause trouble. Besides, there is nothing written on Li Xiang's face...
If you like this kind of thing, can you call it free
Also, Shen Yu is only a few months older than her, and will only turn twenty-one in March next year. After all, he is marrying to China. He has to wait until he is twenty-two to get married. Li Xiang has already spent his whole life.
Miori is someone who has come before. When she first fell in love with Asaba Kazuo, she was in exactly the same state as Rika is now. She stayed by his side all day long and even went to his rental house to cook for him and do housework. Fortunately, Asaba Kazuo and her I got married, but now that I think about it, I gave it in vain.
So she said to Li Xiang sincerely: "Then Shen Yu hasn't confessed to you yet, Li Xiang must be more reserved, especially some very important things... You will never give them to him casually..."
"I'm very reserved. I never tell Mr. Shen Yu that I like him. I have to wait for him to confess to me."
Li Xiang was curious again: "What is something important? Can't even give it to Lord Shen Yu? What if he wants to do it with me?"
Miori was already forty years old. When she talked about these things, she still couldn't help but blush. She gave Asaba Kazuo a white look. It was because of her free gift that he took away important things. Fortunately, she met the right person. The person finally got married happily.
In the past, Rika was ignorant and Asaba Kazuo did not allow her to fall in love because he was afraid that she would be bullied by a bad boy.
When parents talk to their children about these things, they are always a bit speechless. Miori can only express vaguely: "It's just... before you have confirmed your relationship, Rika must remember not to... sleep with him... men are very fond of..." bad… "
"Cough cough cough cough!" Kazuo Asaba coughed crazily.
Lixiang looked at her father and mother with a strange expression, and suddenly understood what her mother meant. Her face turned red immediately, and she ran back to the room with a strange scream.
"You are so perverted! I won't talk to you anymore!"
