Chapter 593 The Mystery of the Lost Treasure
After greeting Sonoko, Ukishima Kenzo turned his gaze to the side. He saw a boy half-crouching and playing with a kitten with his hands. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
You know, this is the kitten he raised, and it is usually quite cool.
However, at this moment, the kitten seemed to have changed its personality. It took the initiative to run to the boy, and grabbed his thighs tightly with its two paws. It kept meowing and acting coquettishly, and even turned over its little belly, looking as if it wanted to be petted.
"Who is this..."
"I am a gardener..."
"Boy friend!"
Sonoko couldn't wait to answer, and at the same time she held Hanyu Kusunoki's arm, a shy blush on her face.
Hanyu Nan raised his eyebrows. You are already an old married couple, why are you blushing like a bubble teapot? He reached out and touched Sonoko's forehead, then looked at Ukishima Kenzo and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Ukishima, my name is Hanyu Nan, Sonoko's boyfriend, and I am here to visit you with Sonoko this time."
Ukishima Kenzo was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter: "So he is Sonoko's boyfriend, not bad, not bad, the young man looks energetic and handsome."
He couldn't help but think of the news that the Suzuki family had spread before, and guessed in his heart that it seemed that the mysterious future son-in-law of the Suzuki Group should be the young man in front of him.
Hanyu Kusunoki didn't know what the other person was thinking, so he politely responded, "Thank you for the compliment, teacher."
At this moment, Sonoko felt even more embarrassed and buried her head deeply in Hanyu Kusunoki's arm, looking like a little wife.
Ukishima Kenzo looked at the two of them, his eyes full of love: "Sonoko is a carefree child, so I'll have to rely on you to take care of her in the future."
Hanyu Kusunoki nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will take good care of Yuanzi."
At this time, the little kitten was still rubbing against Hanyu Kusunoki's feet and refused to leave.
Seeing this, Hanyu Kusunoki bent down and gently touched its head.
This is a small black cat with black fur, but its two front paws are white and one of its hind legs is bandaged, apparently injured.
"The kitten is very cute, what's its name?"
Hanyu Kusunoki asked as he gently teased the clingy kitten.
Kenzo Ukishima smiled and replied, "I didn't give it a special name, I usually just call it Cat. It's not usually this close to people, it seems like it really likes you."
"Yes, Nan is usually very popular with small animals."
Yuanzi said with envy on the side that she wished she could have the attribute of being liked by small animals, instead of having whatever she raised die.
Last time, a sea turtle was killed by mistaking it for a tortoise.
She tortured Xiaolan, Xiaoai and the others.
After chatting for a while, Kenzo Ukishima welcomed the two into the workshop. The workshop was filled with the unique aroma of clay and glaze, and various unfinished ceramic works and tools were placed around it, making it look a bit messy.
At this time, Sonoko handed over the carefully prepared souvenir and said sweetly: "This is what Uncle Jiroji asked me to give to you. Please accept it. In addition, Uncle Jiroji also asked me to bring his regards to you."
"Thank you, you're very kind."
Kenzo Ukishima took the gift box and saw the name on it. A look of surprise flashed across his face. "Oh, this is... This is something I have always liked very much. Thank you so much. Please also thank Mr. Jiroyoshi for me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely convey it." Yuanzi nodded obediently.
After putting the gift down, Ukishima Kenzo said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, the workshop is a mess and I can't even serve you a cup of tea. Because I'm planning to move out of here, and I just happen to be moving things today."
As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "I'm old now, it's time for me to retire and return home."
"what?"
Hearing this, Yuanzi was surprised, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are joking again, teacher, it's too early for you to retire."
In Miss Sonoko's memory, the last time she met him at Uncle Jiroyoshi's house, he was still a well-known and acclaimed ceramic artist. How could he retire in the blink of an eye?
Hanyu Kusunoki looked thoughtfully at Ukishima Kenzo's right hand, which was trembling slightly even when placed on the table, and he could understand the other party's thoughts in his heart.
For an artist who needs to rely on his hands to create, once he gets older and his hands become unsteady, perhaps retiring early is indeed the best choice.
Otherwise, it will be easy to lose your reputation.
The three were chatting animatedly when the entrance door was suddenly pushed open with a creaky sound.
Two movers in blue work clothes came in and said, "Excuse me, it's already 2pm and we need to start moving."
"Oh, okay, thank you for your help."
Fudao hurriedly called the porters and began to arrange the relevant matters of the transportation. Then he took Hanyu Kusunoki and Sonoko into the workshop.
Knowing that the teacher was really going to retire and return home, Yuanzi followed behind and asked curiously: "Teacher, what are your specific plans after returning home?"
Ukishima Kenzo smiled slightly and said in a relaxed manner, "I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll just plant some flowers, raise some cats, and live a leisurely life."
"No matter what, I hope you will have a happy life in the future." Hanyu Kusunoki followed and said a sincere blessing.
"Haha, I'm thankful for your words, young man."
Kenzo Ukishima laughed heartily, then led the two of them to a storage room, took out the key, opened the door, stepped aside, made an inviting gesture, and said, "Come in.
"sorry for disturbance."
Yuanzi took the lead and walked in.
There are many shelves in the room, and each shelf is filled with various exquisite finished ceramic works, including bottles, jars, pots, cups, and all kinds of types.
Kenzo Ukishima looked at Hanyu Kusunoki and Sonoko who were curiously looking around the room, and introduced with a smile: "The products placed here are all those that have been ordered..."
"Wow!" Yuanzi bent down and stared at the row of ceramics in front of him, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart, "How much will all these sell for?"
"Ahem, Sonoko, how can an artist's work be measured by money!" Hanyu Kusunoki coughed lightly.
In fact, all the ceramic works in the room together would probably only be worth a few months' pocket money for his garden.
Especially after knowing that the two were together, his mother-in-law, Suzuki Tomoko, significantly increased the amount of pocket money that Sonoko received.
However, this truth cannot be spoken directly.
After all, it's easy to hurt others by mistake.
