Xiaoxin crossed his arms over his chest and looked like he agreed.
Although what he said was a bit strange.
Just when the three men began to look forward to the evening, Meiya poured a handful of cold water on them.
"Hey, I know that Osaka's specialty is takoyaki, but how can this takoyaki set be considered a specialty? How much did you pay for it?"
Seeing that Meiya began to feel bad about the money, Guangzhi hurried to explain.
"Oh, Meiya, you can't say that. This is a pleasure. And I brought this back from Osaka. It's very meaningful."
"Haha, this kind of thing is obviously sold in supermarkets. Men are just a little less thoughtful when buying things."
Guangzhi frowned when he heard Meiya's sarcastic words.
"Hey, what are you talking about? Is there anything wrong with me buying things with good intentions?"
Hello, what's going on?
Xiao Shan Yi saw that the situation was beginning to go wrong and hurried to smooth things over.
"Hey, brother-in-law and sister Meiya, let's go buy some octopus first. We must make a satisfying meal tonight."
"Humph, Xiaoyi, even though you say that, this kind of thing, you'll get tired of it after using it two or three times at most."
Meiya turned her head away and didn't look at Guangzhi.
"Oh, no, we can use it when we go on a spring outing, then..."
"Where do I plug it in?"
When Meisai said this, Xiaoshan Yi had already clearly noticed that Guangzhi's expression was becoming increasingly ugly.
"Uh..., even if that's the case, we can always have a picnic in the yard or something."
"Hmph, in short, buying this set is obviously a waste."
Seeing Misae's disgusted look, Hiroshi finally exploded.
"That's enough. If that's the case, then there's no need. I'm going to go out and play marbles."
After saying this, Guangzhi slammed the door and left, putting on his coat.
Xiao Shanyi watched Guangzhi leave in anger and said to Meiya, "Sister Meiya, you went too far this time. My brother-in-law obviously meant well and bought it from such a faraway place. Even if you can't stand it, don't say that to him."
In fact, Xiao Shanyi didn't say one more thing, which is that Meiya, you may spend money more wastefully than Guangzhi. However, considering that Meiya would be angry and embarrassed, he didn't say it out loud.
"That's right, Mom pissed Dad off and left, so I don't have any delicious takoyaki to eat tonight."
Shin-chan was also looking at Mei-ya with dissatisfaction.
Originally, when Misae saw Guangzhi leaving angrily, she realized that what she said this time was indeed too much. In addition, Xiaoxin and Xiaoshan Yi also said so to her, she actually began to regret it in her heart, but she was still too proud to give in.
"That is to say, Meiya-sister, don't take such a small matter so seriously. Now go find your brother-in-law."
Xiaoshan Yi still sincerely advised Mei Ya.
Meiya turned her head away and didn't look at Xiaoshanyi.
"I do not know anything."
Seeing Meiya trying to be stubborn, Xiaoshanyi felt that it was time to let Meiya calm down, because for people who care about their reputation, the more you persuade them, the worse the effect will be.
"Well, I'll go out and look for my brother-in-law now. Meiya, you and Xiaoxin will wait at home."
"Xiao Yi, I want to go find my dad too."
Looking at Xiaoxin's noisy appearance, Xiaoshan Yi felt that if Meiya was left alone at home, she might feel isolated.
"Xiao Xin, you stay at home with your mother, I will be back soon."
"Well, okay then (~_~;)"
After comforting Xiaoxin, Xiaoshanyi looked at Meiya again.
"Then Miss Meiya, I'm leaving."
"Ah."
Meiya agreed indifferently.
Seeing that Meiya agreed to go find Guangzhi on her own, Xiaoshan Yi knew that Meiya had begun to reflect on herself.
Seeing this, Xiaoshan Yi put on his shoes and went to find Guangzhi.
Alas, it is really hard to be a younger brother.
Xiao Shanyi sighed silently.
When Xiaoshan Yi arrived at the place where Guangzhi usually played marbles, he found that Guangzhi was not there.
That’s strange, where would my brother-in-law go?
Xiao Shanyi was not familiar with Guangzhi's usual hangouts, so he waited there for twenty minutes. Seeing that Guangzhi had not arrived yet, he changed his mind.
Forget it, I'd better go buy some octopus first. This way, my brother-in-law won't be angry when he sees Mei-ya using the suit he bought for her in the evening.
Xiao Shanyi thought so, then went to buy some octopus and went home.
"I am back."
Xiao Shanyi said this as he walked into the kitchen carrying the octopus.
"Sister Meiya, I bought it..."
Before Xiao Shanyi finished speaking, he noticed the...
"octopus."
"Wow, wow, so many octopuses, wow, wow."
Xiaoxin happily held the octopus bought by Xiaoshanyi on his head.
"Xiao Yi, you bought an octopus too, ahahaha."
"Yes, but why did Meiya-san buy octopus as well?"
"Oh, it was because Shin-chan was clamoring to eat octopus, so I took him to buy some."
Seeing Meiya's wandering eyes, Xiaoshan Yi smiled. He knew his sister too well. It was obvious that she had given in.
"Then my brother-in-law will be back later..."
Meiya hesitated for a moment.
"I will apologize."
Hearing what Misae said, Shin-chan put his hands on his hips proudly.
"Hehe, it's all my fault that Mom became like this."
Xiao Shanyi looked at Xiao Xin, then at Mei Ya, and thought, as expected, children are the bridge between husband and wife?
"I am back."
Xiaoshan Yi heard Guangzhi's voice coming from the entrance.
"Brother-in-law, you are back."
"Oh, it's Xiaoyi."
Xiaoshan Yi noticed that Guangzhi seemed a little absent-minded and thought that Guangzhi was still angry with Meiya.
"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, Sister Meiya just went to buy octopus."
"What? Meiya went to buy octopus!"
Guangzhi was very surprised.
Just then, Meisai also came out of the kitchen and looked at Guangzhi with a somewhat unnatural look.
"Um... I said something a bit too much before, sorry."
Guangzhi didn't expect Meisae to apologize, and was a little unresponsive.
"Ah, actually I just went to the supermarket, and they really did sell the exact same set, and the one I bought was more expensive."
The couple looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Really? If I had known you bought the octopus, I wouldn't have bought it."
Hiroshi said as he picked up the octopus in his hand.
"It doesn't matter. We can have a good meal tonight."
Xiaoxin ran out and cheered loudly.
"That is, it would be nice to make some and give them to the neighbors."
"Okay, Nohara family, let's make takoyaki."
"Oh!!!"
In the evening, the four of them sat neatly in the living room.
First brush with oil, then pour the batter, add the octopus, turn it over, pour the sauce on it, and finally sprinkle with nori and bonito flakes.
"Okay, it's done."
Guangzhi happily showed the first round of results.
Xiaoshan Yi and others looked at the bonito flakes rising and falling due to the heat of the takoyaki, and they were very appetizing when paired with the sauce.
"I started it*4"
"Ouch*4"
"Mmm... Mmm... It's so hot, so hot*4"
"Gudu*4"
The four of them looked at each other and thought it was delicious.
“I didn’t expect it to be so delicious.”
Meiya smiled and ate another one.
"That's right, it's really good."
