My Girlfriend is a Wicked Girl

The long holiday of the Obon Festival is here, and the streets are obviously much deserted. It should be that many people have gone back to their hometowns.

Dongmei lined up her younger siblings early in the morning, brought tools and flowers, and led them to the cemetery to weed and scrub the tombstones—not too far, the cemetery is between the commercial area and the residential area, like a Like a small park.

When I came back from work, I opened the Buddhist shrine at home and set up an altar below, lit the lamps, placed flowers, clear water and offerings, so that the dead could have a place to stay and rest when they returned home.

The offerings are basically vegetarian, all made of spring vegetables, and Fukuzawa's family has to be vegetarian these days, so there is no requirement for Kitahara Hideji and Yoko—of course, Kitahara Hideji has no plan to eat meat.

On the altar, there is also a cucumber with four legs inserted with wood chips. This is a "ghost horse" for the dead to ride to their homes quickly. When the deceased is sent back to the underworld, it must be replaced with an eggplant with four legs. This is a "ghost cow" for the deceased to bring more sacrifices back.

Then Dongmei directed Xueli to hang the Menglan Pen Festival lanterns at the entrance. Generally, it should burn the soul fire, but this commercial district does not allow it, so lanterns are used instead.

At this point, the deceased had come back to reunite with the living relatives, lived together for three or four days before going back, Hideji Kitahara led Yoko to watch, but did not feel any difference, the temperature in the room did not change. Probably this kind of mourning ceremony is essentially used to comfort the living, or to express that forgetting is the real death. As long as someone still remembers it, it is not considered a real death and will always be with the family.

The Fukuzawa family didn't look sad either, they took turns to whisper to their mother at the altar for a while, and Kitahara Hideji also took Yoko to say hello, as a thank you for the interruption during this time.

After eating plain noodles for dinner, Fuyumi took Yoko away, and was going to change into a yukata and go out to participate in the festival. Everyone was very reassured about Hideji Kitahara's character, and no one told him anything, but he himself took the initiative to sit in the lobby to avoid suspicion, and was in a daze with Akitaro.

Yoko came down after a while, and said with a smile: "Onisan wait a little longer, sister Dongmei is chasing sister Xueli, sister Haruna is trying to persuade, Natsuori-chan and Natsusa-chan are watching the fun... Maybe it will take a little more time .”

Hideji Kitahara was stunned before he smiled and said, "It's okay." He didn't ask anything, Yuuri was either being beaten or looking for a way to get beaten every day, which was basically a normal phenomenon.

However, Yoko looks pretty in a yukata!

Yoko wears a bathrobe with white flowers on a blue background. The blue is dark blue, and the white is white with pink flowers. Around her waist is a beige front panel—a cloth belt about 30 centimeters wide, mainly to cover her eyes. The knots tied around his waist look neat and beautiful—holding a gauze round fan and a small blue cloth bag in his hand, wearing wooden clogs with bare feet, and a head of smooth long hair tied in a bun, only Two strands hang down from the ears, and there is a small beige silk flower on the left ear.

Elegant and quiet with a delicate charm, it makes people's eyes shine.

Hideji Kitahara is not someone who doesn't know anything about yukata now, he never learns it just because he has already gone back and studied it. Yukata should be counted as Wufu, after all, it is an imitation of Wufu. Or it doesn't matter, after all, it is not a formal dress, or it should be said to be a simple version of Wufu.

This thing used to be worn after taking a shower, so it was called a yukata, and now Hideji Kitahara can distinguish the two after research.

Because Wufu is a formal dress, there will be a white "undercoat" inside, so it looks like Wufu has a double-layer collar at first glance, but there is no yukata inside, just a single layer.

At the same time, Wufu wears white socks, which are "foot bags", and the bathrobe is barefoot.

And the most important thing is the material. Wufu mostly uses silk, silk and gauze, while Yukata only uses pure cotton cloth. Of course, the price is also different. Yukata generally cost 5,000 to 10,000 yen, while Wufu is cheaper at 30,000. Around 100,000 yen is also common, and there are also millions of yen.

Of course, it's just a general situation. Cheap Wufu is definitely cheaper than high-end yukata. It's hard to say about clothes. It's normal to have a price difference of hundreds of times and thousands of times between famous custom-made goods and high-end goods.

There may be exceptions if one of these three items is taken out alone, but the combination of the three items can be distinguished at a glance.

Yoko was a little embarrassed for Kitahara Hideji to see, half covered her small face with a round fan, but still turned around in a circle, showed him the big bow on the back, and asked a little nervously: "Does it look good, Onisan?" ?”

It was also the first time for her to wear a yukata, and her mother didn't buy it for her before, but now Dongmei matched it for her, and she herself was a little bit uneasy-maybe she should dress more brightly?

But Hideji Kitahara said sincerely: "It's very beautiful!" To be honest, any kind of traditional clothing that can survive the test of time must have something unique, and Fuyumi's little radish head aesthetic ability is quite good. just right.

Yangzi was praised, and shook the small handbag in her hand, feeling a little embarrassed, but she was very happy, and looked down at herself. And Hideji Kitahara thinks that Fuyumi is right, girls like to wear yukata - Japanese girls usually wear school uniforms, and they can run out to play in yukata, which is probably during summer festivals and Obon festivals. And this kind of yukata with big and bright prints can only be worn when you are a girl. I am embarrassed to wear it so brightly when I grow up, otherwise it will easily make people have bad associations when running on the street.

In your 20s and 30s, you still wear girls' yukatas. You don't have a special job, do you?

The little radish head is right. If you don't wear it during this period of time, you will definitely regret it when you get older.

Yangzi was shy, and I was embarrassed to ask in detail what looked good, whether it was a good-looking person or a good-looking clothes, but she walked two steps in the little wooden clogs, touched the big flower on the bathrobe, and asked curiously: "O Nissan, what kind of flower is this?"

Hideji Kitahara stared at it for a while, then clicked on [Remarks] to study for a while, and said with a smile, "It's peony and peony, printed on the yukata, it represents the wish for happiness in the future."

The little radish head is quite careful, a good choice! Hideji Kitahara gave Fuyumi a 99-point score in his heart.

Yoko felt that she was really happy recently, but she touched her yukata with a little envy on her face: "Sister Dongmei's mother made it herself, and sister Dongmei's mother is so amazing."

"Really?" Kitahara Hideji was also a little surprised. Looking at the stitches, he thought they were bought, but they were originally made by himself. But looking at the envious expression on Yoko's face, he couldn't tell whether she liked this bathrobe or envied Dongmei for having a good mother, and said with a smile: "Then Yoko also has to work hard, and become a person like Fukuzawa's mother in the future! "

Yangzi nodded her head vigorously: "I will work hard!" Anyway, she will definitely not be like her mother when she grows up, and she will definitely dress up the child beautifully in the future.

They chatted here for a long time before the five sisters of the Fukuzawa family came down from upstairs, and Yuuri was full of grievances, and went to Kitahara Hideji to complain in a low voice—she had already discovered that as long as she complained around Kitahara Hideji, generally Fuyumi would not Too daring to rush over and hit her.

Kitahara Hideji glanced at her. She was wearing a black-and-white yukata—not a mourning dress, the belt around her waist was dark red—the flower was iris, a flower commonly used to ward off evil spirits during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the pronunciation of iris in Japanese is Similar to victory or defeat, it also represents martial arts and a decisive battle.

Monochrome black and white is quite suitable for Xueli's simple personality, it seems to make her more pure, and the flower language is also quite good, there is nothing to complain about, right? Hideji Kitahara asked with a low laugh, "What's the matter, don't you like this dress?"

Xueli touched her chest and said aggrievedly: "My sister thought I was too perverted, so she wrapped my chest with a cloth belt. It was uncomfortable and hot... They didn't wrap me up, they only wrapped me up."

Kitahara Hideji took a closer look, only to realize that the pair of big rabbits in the snow had stopped moving, but he couldn't control this kind of thing and didn't dare to, he didn't even dare to look at it, so he quickly moved to the side, not to get involved with it. Muddy water.

Fuyumi rummaged through a large pocket over there. She was wearing a white yukata with a dragonfly pattern on it. A dragonfly is considered an insect that works hard towards a goal. It is nicknamed the "Insect of Victory" and is considered one of the good omens.

Haruna wore a yellow bathrobe, but the flowers were wisteria flowers, implying the prosperity of the family.

Xia Zhi Xiasha was wearing the same dress, it was extremely gorgeous, with a bright red background, white, light red, and light yellow flowers connected together, it was a rose, but this thing seemed to have no meaning, these two guys should just be purely smug.

But I have to admit that these two little guys are very beautiful after wearing them. Standing there, they have an overwhelming advantage over everyone around them. They are very eye-catching-they are exactly the same, and they are all bright colors. .

These bathrobes are very exquisite, Kitahara Hideji couldn't help turning his head to Yuli and asked in a low voice: "Yuri, are these bathrobes made by your mother?"

Xueli touched the clothes on her body with some care, and said seriously: "Yes, I made a lot of them for us, and we can wear them until we are adults... She has been making them since she was sick! My mother is very powerful, she is the one I know You are the strongest among the people in the world, and you can't compare to her! My mother can make all kinds of clothes, cook well, play the piano and arrange flowers, write novels, go to university, and go to China to study that... What's behind the university? Anyway, I learned a lot, and my mother repaired the broken toilet at home before."

Hideji Kitahara and Yuri were already quite familiar, and she didn't give up much effort to listen to her, and couldn't help being secretly surprised—how did Naotaka Fukuzawa deceive such a good wife? It's not that she speaks ill of people behind her back. Looking at the photos, Yuri's mother is a great beauty, otherwise she wouldn't be able to give birth to such a bunch of beautiful daughters. She is also versatile and capable of housekeeping. Why did she choose Naotaka Fukuzawa?

In Fukuzawa's family, Haruna looked the most like Naotaka Fukuzawa, but she turned out to be ordinary, which shows that Naolong Fukuzawa looked very ordinary when he was young. Graduated from high school, has a history of fighting and fighting, and his family situation is so-so. In the past, he should have more than enough than the best, and he is not considered a local tyrant, and he is injured and has no serious job.

This is definitely a flower inserted into that, right? Puzzling!

He was thinking wildly there, and Fuyumi had already made everyone line up in a row to send out "Yubenyu". This is a traditional custom. On this day, the elders will give pocket money to the younger generation, but Fukuzawa's family is currently the largest in Fuyumi, so she will give it instead.

Each person has a small bag, Dongmei starts from the beginning, everyone has a share, even Yoko. Yuli, who was in line in front of Hideji Kitahara, took the small bag and opened it to look at it. He immediately became happy, and Hideji Kitahara stretched out his hand—he thought it was a local custom, and he would have it too.

Dongmei looked at him strangely: "What are you reaching out for? You are older than me, how can I send it to you?"

Kitahara Hideji is speechless, your uncle, why don't you send me a message and ask me to line up? In fact, Fuyumi didn't ask him to line up, but he was used to queuing up on weekdays, and when Xueli stood up, he also followed in a daze.

After distributing the pocket money, Fuyumi yelled and took the lead to go out, driving directly to the small square in the business district, where there was a Bon dance party held in the town.

This dance originally expressed the joyful posture of people in hell when they were rescued. It is not violent but has many hand movements. Now it has evolved into a traditional dance. Generally speaking, it takes a whole night to dance, but only some villages still do this. In big cities, due to the fast pace of life, most of them are meaningless.

There were people carrying sedan chairs in the parade on the street, and there was a lot of laughter. Everyone visited the small square all the way, and there were two huge fires burning in the small square-the residents here are not allowed to burn soul-inducing fires at home. Burning collectively, this is to give light to the dead, lest they get lost riding cucumbers.

The celebration has already begun. There is a high platform in the middle of the fire. On it, several women wearing bathrobes are singing in unison. There are people beating taiko drums and shamisen to accompany the accompaniment. Many people in bathrobes surround the high platform and the fire. Dancing to the beat, Xueli and Xiazhi Xiasha joined in with a cheer.

Kitahara Hideji looked at Yoko and smiled, "Yoko, you go play too!"

Yangzi hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I won't, Ornisan... I've only watched it before, but never skipped it."

Fuyumi said from the side: "That's why you wear a yukata! Come on, Yoko, I'll teach you!" After she finished speaking, she dragged Yoko into the venue, and Haruna pulled Akitaro and followed them.

In a blink of an eye, Kitahara Hideji was left alone. To participate in this kind of event, it is better to wear traditional clothes, otherwise it would feel out of place to squeeze in in casual clothes. Besides, he himself is not interested in participating. Sightseeing and playing with Yoko—the men inside all wear headscarves, printing boxes hanging around their waists, and there are a few on the stage who only wear loincloths.

There is something to do if you don’t dance. There is a circle of open-air stalls around the square, offering various snacks and small games. Hideji Kitahara started walking around and thought it was quite interesting. But after turning around for a while, Xueli found him, and Hideji Kitahara asked with a smile, "Why don't you go play?"

Xueli scratched her back depressedly, "I can't breathe, I really want to untie it, but my sister won't let me." After a moment of depression, she quickly cheered up, pulled Kitahara Hideji and shouted: "Let's go, Hideji, I'll take you to fish for goldfish."

She dragged Hideji Kitahara through the crowd—there were indeed many people, and it felt like most of the people in this business district were crowded here—but she stopped when she passed a small stall, and swallowed hard.

Kitahara Hideji took a look, it was a seller of apple candy, he just took a small stick to stick a small apple, and then poured syrup on the outside and stuck some dried fruit on it, some of which were similar to Chinese candied haws.

Yuli stood there watching, Kitahara Hideji was a little strange, "You can buy it if you want!" It's not expensive, it's just ordinary snacks, and it doesn't cost much at all.

Xueli bit her lower lip with her white teeth, desperately resisting the temptation, "I want to eat, but I have no money."

Kitahara Hideji looked at her in surprise, you are a liar! I saw with my own eyes half an hour ago that you just sent your pocket money!

"Where's the pocket money you gave out just now?"

"The money is useful to me. I can't spend it recklessly. I have to make the best use of it...Let's go, Hideji. I can't watch it anymore. I feel so sad after watching it for a long time." After watching it for a while, Yuuri pulled Hideji Kitahara and left. But when he took a step and turned his head three times, it seemed that he was very greedy, and his face was full of tangles.

Kitahara Hideji couldn't take it anymore, so he went back and bought one for her, but Yuri didn't show any politeness to him, she happily took it and started to lick it, with a happy expression on her face, "Hideji, you are so kind to me , En is deeper than the sea, I really saw you right!"

You are so satisfied, an apple and a little sugar are enough to get rid of it. Kitahara Hideji saw that she kept licking it cherishingly, but was also reluctant to bite, so he couldn't help but asked tentatively, "Yuri, do you have a wallet?"

He was embarrassed to ask where Xueli's money went, but he had known Xueli for more than four months, and he had never seen her spend a single yen. She obviously had pocket money, so where did that money go? Have been saving? Really curious.

Xueli opened her mouth wide and swallowed the candy apples. She reached for the small handbag with both hands, and could still speak vaguely, "I have wow, what are you doing here?"

I'm really sorry, I ate something wrong in Xia Tian, ​​and my stomach turned upside down as a result, I will definitely make it up tomorrow.
