Jiuhuayue seemed to have something to do and needed to go out. She didn't even have breakfast, but left with her purple waist bag and long legs, along the street in the light snow.
Yang Kui Chitose noticed that Jiuhua Yue had only said those two sentences to Fujii Itsuki, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are on vacation now, right?" Fujii Itsuki looked towards the door.
"Yes." Yang Kui Chitose answered while cutting potatoes.
"What is Jiu Huayue doing outside? I remember you said she doesn't have many friends."
The girl's heart tightened again.
"Brother Tree——"
Yang Kui Chitose turned around and deliberately stretched out her voice, as if she was deliberately reminding someone.
Fujii Itsuki saw Chitose's subtle expression and knew that she was a little jealous. He smiled and said, "Sorry, my old habit as a teacher has come back. I always like to dig deep into things. I am a little concerned about that child."
"Why does Brother Shu care about her?" His voice became a little anxious.
"Look, she moved back to Otaru and lived there for three months without any family or friends. I'm afraid she'll have mental problems living like this."
In fact, he was just afraid that she would go out and commit suicide again, but he couldn't say this to Qiansui.
"But Jiuhua isn't your student, Brother Shu. Why does Brother Shu care about her so much?"
"Her identity is a mystery, and she is also my temporary landlord. The most important thing is that I promised the dean to come and help her parents take care of her life."
"."
Yang Kui Chitose lowered her head to cut potatoes and was silent for a while, then immediately raised her head and smiled:
"Dean Huadai knows Brother Shu very well, but he just doesn't understand Brother Shu's living standards. Brother Shu can't even take care of himself, so how can he take care of others?"
"I'm just lazy."
"Do not believe."
"How about I cook something for you tomorrow, Chitose? I'll let you see how good my cooking skills are. I haven't cooked a meal for anyone else yet."
"This is great! I really want to eat the food that Brother Shu cooks. However, Brother Shu just said that he is lazy. If I am not here, he will definitely cook instant noodles tomorrow."
"."
The girl was really right.
"Brother Shu, I will come again tomorrow."
"Do not--"
"Rejected!" Yang Kui Chitose interrupted Fujii Itsuki with a smile when he just opened his mouth, "Even if Brother Shu doesn't want me to come, I will come, unless Brother Shu chases me away!"
This girl.
Fujii Itsuki found that he could refute anyone, but today, in front of his sister, he lost the right to be a brother.
Qiansui has been so good to me, and I should indeed be more accommodating to her and think about her more.
"Okay, okay, how about I take you to visit Sapporo in a couple of days?"
"Why are you taking me to Sapporo all of a sudden?"
"I'll also buy you some new clothes as a gift. I'm sorry that I forgot to bring you anything when I came back from Tokyo. I care about you a lot."
"." Yang Kui Chitose stared at him quietly.
"what happened?"
"Although I really want Shu Gege's gift and want to eat the meal that Shu Gege cooked for others for the first time, I hope Shu Gege can take good care of himself, eat on time and smoke less."
Chitose Yangkui said this very seriously.
"I am very worried about Brother Shu's health. When he came back this time, he looked much older than before. He was so handsome before."
"."
Jiuhua, the dean, and Chitose all said so.
Am I really old?
"But it doesn't matter. No matter how ugly Tree Brother becomes, he is still my Tree Brother! And now he looks more like a handsome uncle!"
This sentence is even more critical.
".Can you please not call me uncle?"
"It's fine. And, actually, I wasn't jealous of Jiuhua at all!"
This girl——
The purpose was to give her a way out, but she said it herself.
Still a bit too honest.
Chitose prepared breakfast quickly.
A simple potato and chicken patty with miso soup made with cabbage and tofu.
Although the dish is simple, the cooking skills are top-notch.
This taste.
“Quite distinctive.”
".You mean it's not tasty? It's not to Brother Shu's taste?"
Seeing Chitose's cautious question, Fujii Itsuki replied, "I'm not one of you little girls. I don't beat around the bush. Unique means delicious. The food in Tokyo is basically the same. Even the fast food bento in 711-Eleven tastes the same as in restaurants. It's too ordinary. Chitose, what you cook is new to me."
“Many guests from Tokyo say the same thing!”
Yang Kui Chitose was sitting upright with her hands clasped in front of her, smiling adorably.
Fujii Itsuki was eating the food made by his sister and thought, it would be a great thing if Chitose could come over every day and cook such delicious meals for him.
It's just too much trouble for her.
While having breakfast, Fujii Itsuki talked to her about his quitting his job in Tokyo.
It can be seen that although Chitose was puzzled by his giving up the dream he had always pursued, she still chose to support his decision to return to Hokkaido.
After all, for Chitose, returning to Otaru by herself was something that made her extremely happy.
In her words, "I can see Brother Tree every day again from now on."
Chitose was really too enthusiastic about herself.
"So Brother Shu is planning to find a job next?"
"Yes," Fujii Itsuki nodded. "I had planned to go back to Hokkaido and plant some potatoes and vegetables, but I didn't expect the welfare home to be in this state. For now, I can only find a job to get by, and then I can pay a little money to hire a worker to help share the pressure on the welfare home."
“This should cost a lot of money, right?”
"Of course it's a lot to pay the workers. Given the conditions in Otaru, it's hard to recruit people without enough money. Don't worry, girl. I have some savings from working in Tokyo in the past few years. Even if I can't find a job in the next few months, I can still get by for a while."
"actually."
Seeing Chitose hesitate to speak, Fujii Itsuki drank some miso soup and raised his head, "Chitose, what do you want to say?"
"I don't know if Brother Shu will be unhappy after hearing this."
"Just say it straight, it's nothing."
"Well, actually our school has been recruiting teachers recently."
Yang Kui Chitose paused, then continued, "Because our previous teacher was suddenly transferred to Sapporo, I thought that Brother Shu had just returned from Tokyo and needed a job, and he should be a perfect fit since he had been a teacher before. Sorry, I just found out that Brother Shu had voluntarily resigned from his teaching job."
"Chitose wants me to be your teacher."
"I definitely want that! It's awesome to have Tree-brother as my teacher!"
Yang Kui Chitose spoke frankly and lowered her head again, "But that's not all. The main reason is that this job is particularly suitable for Brother Shu, and our school also pays high. The school has been unable to recruit suitable candidates, and now all teaching work is done by external teachers."
If he remembered correctly, Chitose seemed to be studying at Taisho Tachibana Kita in the Inaho area.
This is the best school in Otaru City, a private college with a long history and a comprehensive junior and senior high school system.
Even a school like this cannot recruit suitable teachers, which shows that Otaru City has suffered serious population loss in recent years.
Fujii Itsuki is not sure whether the management systems of private and public schools will be different, but teacher is not his first choice now.
He didn't know why, but when he heard the words "go back to being a teacher", he felt a resistance to this idea.
"Well I'll think about it."
"Did Brother Shu agree?"
"Why is Chitose so anxious?"
"I thought Brother Shu could come to school to teach us Chinese," Yang Kui Chitose imagined that scene, smiled, and nodded to herself, "Yeah. I can't guarantee other things, but as long as it's Brother Shu's class, I will definitely listen carefully."
Fujii Itsuki smiled and replied, "Applying for a job is not that simple. I don't know the other party's requirements, my conditions, salary, holidays, work system, and year-end bonus. These all need to be negotiated. It's best to meet in person. Otherwise, why would companies have an interview?"
"I see."
"I'm going to go downtown today and see what jobs are available."
"Then I will too—"
Fujii Itsuki understood, "You want to go out for a walk, right?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Yang Kui Chitose nodded three times quickly, her short hair swaying. "In the past few years when Brother Shu was away, Otaru also built a lot of new things. I want to take Brother Shu to see them, such as the amusement park and the oceanarium."
"Of course I have no problem accompanying you to play, the problem is the hot springs shop. Can you walk away for too long?"
Yang Kui Chitose was obviously disappointed when she heard this, "Then I'll do it next time."
Chapter 11 Hot Spring Shop
Otaru City, Temiya District 1-chome, Yunohana Otaru Hot Spring Shop.
"Chitose, you're back."
"Ok!"
Chitose Haruki changed into her work yukata and just came out, she met Eriko Haruki who had just finished delivering meals to the guests.
