Depending on maintaining izakaya of family livelihood suddenly presented the enormous crisis, Fuyumi these days the pressure was very actually big. Only this point enough she worried, but today places the umbrella in classroom cabinet not to know that which to mixed the ball to take away, was makes her on bothersome add bothersomely- she had the whole world with she made to the feeling. 赖以维持家庭生计的居酒屋突然出现了重大危机,冬美这些日子其实压力很大的。仅这一点就够她烦心不已了,而今天放在教室橱柜里的雨伞又不知道给哪个混球拿走了,更是让她烦上加烦-她有种整个世界都在和她做对的感觉。 Now Kitahara Shuji is thrusting out the face sufficient big stature here, bewilderedly there rigid theorizing, probably is her wrong is the same, making her mood develop rapidly after a sudden turn again, worse ten times. 现在北原秀次又在这儿腆着脸充大个儿,莫明其妙在那里说教,好像一切都是她的错一样,让她心情再次急转直下,更加恶劣了十倍。 She started to gather the air/Qi. 她开始蓄气了。 If Kitahara Shuji dares to talk nonsense again several, she prepares and Kitahara Shuji does one ruthlessly, doing also dry/does- she is never a stoical person, before Kitahara Shuji, has punched her, her many trauma, perhaps this little while has a little jumped to inscribe the hook to him. 如果北原秀次再敢胡说八道几句,她就准备和北原秀次狠狠干一架,干不过也要干-她从来就不是一个忍气吞声的人,要不是北原秀次以前揍过她,她多少有点心理阴影,说不定这会儿已经跳起来给他一记上勾拳了。 Had had the academy, how even fights one to be able! Was I stolen the umbrella was I am wrong? 已经出了学园了,就算打一架又能怎么样!我被偷了伞难道是我错了吗? Lucky Kitahara Shuji does not have the plan that said again. This matter reminded him to think that even was really kind, was still helps Fukuzawa Naotaka that old fox take care of a daughter reluctantly, listens to change as for her, he could not manage. 万幸北原秀次也没有再多说的打算。这种事提醒一下他觉得就算是够意思了,勉强也算是帮着福泽直隆那老狐狸照顾了一下女儿,至于她听不听改不改,那他就管不着了。 As a man soweth so shall he reap, you reap what you sow, has because has the fruit, the person must be responsible for own speech act eventually. If the little guy must when doing on the main road dashes about wildly to continue, he also can only at holidays gave on her two columns to be fragrant. 种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆,有因就有果,人终究是要为自己言语行为负责的。如果小萝卜头非要在作死的大路上狂奔不止,那他也就只能逢年过节时给她上两柱香了。 He does not have to continue again wordy, but Fuyumi is one does not have the throat, has gathered the anger trough did not have the opportunity enlargement to incur completely, but the frame has not made into her instead to hold anger, the small mouth sipped a line, on the lower jaw revealed two small dimples. 他没再继续啰嗦,而冬美更是一声没吭,一直把怒气槽蓄满了也没机会放大招,但架没打成她反而更憋火了,小嘴抿成了一条线,小腮上露出了两个小梨涡。 The quick two people arrived at the bus stop, a public transportation is stopping coincidentally slowly. Kitahara Shuji hurried to be about to walk several steps to deliver the car(riage) Fuyumi, but after Fuyumi boards, selected a position by the window to sit down, was smelly a small face to be away from the glass closely to stare at Kitahara Shuji. 很快两个人就到了公交车站,刚巧一辆公交车正缓缓停下。北原秀次赶紧快走了几步把冬美送上了车,而冬美上了车后挑了个靠窗的位置坐下了,臭着一张小脸隔着玻璃紧紧盯着北原秀次 Two people to were near, Kitahara Shuji walks normally cannot see the little guy face, the body elevation difference is too big, can only see sending spin that her head withstand/top, this little while discovers in her eye suddenly full is the anger, is bewildered. However he beckons with the hand with her with a smile gently says goodbye, has the gentleman's manner extremely, but looks that his relaxed appearance Fuyumi anger suddenly was also prosperous three points, finally could not bear, pulls open the glass to point at him to yell: I am like others fearing me, is likes others hating me, these people are unimportant to me, why I must care about their feeling! They dislike me to be better, I also dislike them! What qualifications your fellow has to preach to me, where do I have the mistake? Your this arrogant little white......” 两个人离近了,北原秀次正常走路是看不到小萝卜头脸的,身高差太大,只能看到她脑袋顶的发旋儿,这会儿才猛然发现她眼中满满都是怒火,不由莫名其妙起来。不过他还是含笑轻轻摆了摆手和她再见,极有绅士风度,但看着他的轻松模样冬美火气猛然又旺了三分,终于忍不住了,一把拉开车窗指着他大叫道:“我就是喜欢别人怕我,就是喜欢别人恨我,那些人对我一点也不重要,我凭什么要在乎他们的感受!他们讨厌我更好,我也讨厌他们!你这家伙有什么资格对我说教,我哪里有错?你这傲慢的小白……” Her pressure thought oversized in addition put in great inconvenience to the mentality to lose control, shouted abuse was carrying off by the public transportation, but Kitahara Shuji stood in the bus stop is dumbfounded, the line of sight that the surroundings threw was to let his slightly feeling is awkward. 她压力过大加上心里觉得委屈心态又失控了,破口大骂着被公交车拉走了,而北原秀次站在公交车站目瞪口呆,周围投来的视线更是让他微感尴尬。 Did this damn little guy eat to forget to take a drug? What temper suddenly loses? 这该死的小萝卜头又吃忘记吃药了?突然发什么神经? He looked at dumbly a while to shake the head, starts the words that reconsidered spoke a moment ago where to cause the little guy not quickly- he looked these days mixed book many fostered some were good to be familiar with, is all right bows to engage in introspection, 他呆立了一会儿摇了摇头走了,开始反思刚才说的话哪里引起了小萝卜头不快-他这段时间看杂书多少养成了些好习惯,没事就躬身自省, But, did oneself speak two words? Moreover is very tactful. 但,自己就说了两句话啊?而且已经很委婉了。 The friend three profits, the friend straight friend forgives the friend to be widely experienced, weren't oneself making the mistake? The general little guy is the person who that type cannot regard the friend! This matter wrong in oneself wants with her, when the friend regarded, meddlesome talking too much many words. 友者三益,友直友谅友多闻嘛,自己也不算做错了吧?大概小萝卜头就是那种不能当成朋友的人吧!这事错在了自己想拿她当朋友看待了,多事多嘴多话。 Later must pay attention, cannot the blind good intention. 以后要注意,不能瞎好心。 Kitahara Shuji is reconsidering the apartment, is going upstairs sees in the staircase to the men and women is hugging in the same place teases, walks extremely slowly did not say, but also creates a disturbance, but this inexpensive block of flats staircase extra short, this wiggled forward to the men and women corridor him cannot take a walk immediately. 北原秀次一路反思着回了公寓,正上楼呢就看见楼梯上有对男女正搂在一起调笑,走得极慢不说,还打打闹闹的,而这种廉价公寓楼楼梯极窄,这对男女扭来扭去把楼道一堵他顿时走不动了。 He looks carefully, discovered that in this men and women also has an acquaintance. Female that is Ono Yoko mother Yumiko, but her noon a little drank the half drunk, is going all out to sway from side to side in the arms of side man, a dissolute stance- possibly or was last night drinks just to go home now. 他仔细瞧了一眼,发现这对男女中还有个熟人。女的那个就是小野阳子的妈妈由美子,而她大中午的就喝得有点半醉了,正拼命在身边男子的怀里扭动,一副放浪姿态-或者可能是昨夜喝到了现在刚回家。 Although knew also nearly for two months, but Kitahara Shuji a little did not clarify the age of this woman, can only the thick estimate about 30 years old, but his man Kitahara Shuji can actually distinguish, at most 20 years old over, but was long very handsome, the suit and dress shoes, the gold watch ring, had the flavor of mature man very much. 虽然认识也快两个月了,但北原秀次还是有点搞不清这女人的年纪,只能粗粗估计在三十岁左右,而他身边的男人北原秀次却能分辩的出,顶多二十岁出头,不过长得很英俊,西装革履,金表戒指,很有成熟男人的韵味。 Kitahara Shuji followed on the heels to observe by that man to pay attention, very disgruntled looked at his one eyes, but Kitahara Shuji selected the eyebrow, opened the mouth to say directly: Letting, be not please stopping up the staircase, I must pass.” 北原秀次跟在后面观察被那男人注意到了,很不悦的瞄了他一眼,而北原秀次挑了挑眉,直接开口道:“请让让,别堵着楼梯,我要过去。” He loathes Yumiko very much, but this man and Yumiko mix up, definitely is not the good bird, therefore he unrestrained/no trace of politeness, only maintains the basic self-control not to have the evil report foul odor. 他很厌恶由美子,而这男人和由美子混在一起,肯定也不是什么好鸟,所以他毫不客气,只维持着基本的涵养没有恶声恶气。 The man was more disgruntled, looked that a Kitahara Shuji young urination eyebrow vertical stroke wants to get angry, but Yumiko noticed is Kitahara Shuji, has a scare, lay at that man shoulder in a soft voice whisper hastily several, but the man gawked slightly, carefully looked at Kitahara Shuji one, although a little doubtful color but actually also swallowed in the words the stomach. 那男人更不悦了,看北原秀次年纪小小便眉毛一竖想要发火,但由美子注意到了是北原秀次,吓了一跳,连忙趴在那男人肩头轻声耳语了几句,而那男人微微一愣,仔细看了北原秀次一眼,虽然有点半信半疑之色但却也把话又吞回了肚里。 Yumiko turning the head charming smile greeting: Originally is Kitahara yo, excuse me, you first come up!” Was saying she made way the ladder building. 由美子又转头媚笑着打招呼:“原来是北原君呦,不好意思,你先上去吧!”说着她让开了梯楼。 Since the previous group fight, this nearby inhabitant somewhat fears Kitahara Shuji. In people's eyes, was hit by the bludgers possibly is a good person, drives off the bludger did not say- this Yumiko was no exception, her Tada family/home annoyed does not get up, has driven off Kitahara Shuji on Dama Road from the building Tada family/home not to mention. 自从上次群殴事件发生后,这附近的住户都是有些怕北原秀次的。在一般人眼里,被混混们打了可能是好人,追打混混的是不是就不好说了-这由美子也不例外,她连太田家都惹不太起,更别提把太田家从楼上一直追打到大马路上的北原秀次了。 Kitahara Shuji is impolite, when directly first goes upstairs, said to Yumiko while convenient lightly: Yumiko, we are not ripe, later spoke the polite expression.” 北原秀次也不客气,直接当先上楼,顺便对由美子淡淡说道:“由美子桑,我们不熟,以后互相之间还是说敬语吧。” After his does not want Yumiko, called his Sir Kitahara anything, the polite expression was divided three systems probably, revered the polite expression, the modestly declining language and Ding Ning yu, Ding Ning language among the strangers, the meaning of Kitahara Shuji does not want to make Yumiko seem like with too ripe- he recognized Yoko to become the younger sister, but did not recognize this woman to work as the elder. 他这不是要由美子以后叫他北原大人什么的,敬语大概分三个体系,尊敬语、谦让语及丁宁语,其中丁宁语适用于陌生人之间,北原秀次的意思是不想让由美子看起来和自己太熟-他是认了阳子当妹妹,但可不是认了这女人当长辈。 He crossed this to return to the apartment to the men and women directly, no matter also Yumiko were anything responded, he does not want to do with this woman, maintaining the distance was good. 他越过这对男女直接回自己公寓了,也不管由美子是什么反应,他不太想和这女人打交道,保持距离就好。 On the road that he comes back bought the fast food lunch while convenient, but just lifted cover Ono Yoko to run, but also brings her big lunch box, passing through the gate to/clashes Kitahara Shuji to say with a smile sweetly: Onii-san, do we have the lunch to be good together?” 他回来的路上顺便买了速食便当,而刚掀开盖子小野阳子就跑来了,还带着她的大饭盒,一进门就冲北原秀次甜甜笑道:“欧尼桑,我们一起吃午饭好不好?” She has mixed extremely ripe with Kitahara Shuji, the relations are the determination are not ordinary, before not having, that timid stance, the vigilant heart is cannots be found anywhere. 她已经和北原秀次混得极熟了,关系更是自觉已然不一般,没有了以前那股怯生生的姿态,警惕心更是无处可寻。 Kitahara Shuji said with a smile: Good!” This small pitiful gave her mother to push from the apartment, does not know before oneself have not come, where she toward hid. 北原秀次笑道:“好啊!”这小可怜又给她妈从公寓里挤出来了,也不知道自己没来之前她往哪里躲。 However Yoko smile such as flower, when anything does not have, he also keeps silent, so as to avoid embarrasses this child. 不过阳子笑颜如花当什么事都没有,他也绝口不提,免得让这孩子难堪。 Yoko turned on her big lunch box, as before, the pickling plum assumes the center, the surroundings all are preserved dried cabbage- she one time was not finished eating, this box lunch she must eat for day three- however Kitahara Shuji extended the chopsticks to clamp 1/3 preserved dried cabbages , the chicken platoon, omelette and garnishing fast food lunch divided her half. 阳子打开了她的大饭盒,和以前一样,盐渍梅子坐镇中央,周围全是梅干菜-她不是一次吃完的,这一盒饭她要吃一天三顿-而北原秀次伸筷子夹走了三分之一的梅干菜,又把速食便当里的鸡排、煎蛋、配菜分了她一半。 Yoko knows that Kitahara Shuji favors very much her, gave him a sweet smile, the meaning of simply not having rejected, but also clamped the pickling plum to him- she has set firm resolve completely, ten years later in any event must return Kitahara Shuji, could not return to arrive at oneself to him, therefore eats lunch anything now is completely not the issue, will be equal to returning to the Kitahara Shuji hand in any case in the future. 阳子知道北原秀次很宠她的,给了他一个甜甜的微笑,根本没拒绝的意思,还把盐渍梅子夹给了他-她已经完全下定了决心,十年后无论如何都要回报北原秀次,回报不了就把自己抵给他,所以现在吃点便当什么的完全不是问题,反正将来又等于回到了北原秀次手中。 Smells the taste in Momojiro who washing within in sleeps, smart drags own rice container to run over, squats is looking at two masters who at the same time a face flattered. 在洗间间里睡大觉的百次郎闻到味了,机灵的拖着自己的饭盆跑了过来,蹲在一边一脸谄媚的望着两个主人。 Kitahara Shuji looked at its one, this goods do not lie all day are lying down, idle, basically is equivalent to a waste dog, on point spirit of eating meal. No matter he also this dog, Yoko can manage, he eats oneself. 北原秀次看了它一眼,这货整天不是趴着就是躺着,无所事事之极,基本就相当于一条废狗,也就吃饭的点儿精神。他也不管这狗,阳子会管的,他自顾自吃自己的。 A two people dog pushes in a small apartment eats meal, then before Kitahara Shuji sat the desk, little Yang bastard also settled battalion Zha in his here the stronghold, lay kicks the calf to read the magazine on the tatami. 两人一狗挤在一间小公寓里吃了饭,而后北原秀次坐到了书桌前,小阳野子也在他这儿安了营扎了寨,趴在榻榻米上踢着小腿看杂志。 The Kitahara Shuji inexpensive apartment has become her second family/home, compares in own also comfortably here her, likes very much. 北原秀次的廉价公寓已经成了她第二个家,在这儿她比在自己家还自在,很喜欢。 More than half after childhood, Yuki ran, this afternoon she must look for Kitahara Shuji enrolling in supplementary lessons. As soon as she passes through the gate Yoko on sweet to call Onee-chan with a smile, gave back to her to take to do the towel, but the Yuki expression was very depressed, sad put on a small bag the tatami, was depressed saying: Haruna made me bring the muskmelon to you.” 半个多小时候后雪里跑来了,今天下午她得找北原秀次补习。她一进了门阳子就甜甜笑着叫姐姐,还给她拿了干毛巾来,而雪里的表情很郁闷,伤心的把一个小袋子放到了榻榻米上,闷闷说道:“春菜让我给你们带了香瓜来。” Kitahara Shuji cannot bear smiles, although does not need, but can see that Haruna is really child who understands the worldly wisdom! However he looks that the Yuki expression cracks a joke saying: How doesn't like this, give up?” Yuki cares to food very much, he knows. This fellow will be glad to help the person fight or move to lift, but will easily not share food with others. 北原秀次忍不住一笑,虽然没必要,但能看出春菜真是个懂人情世故的孩子啊!不过他看着雪里的表情开玩笑道:“怎么这样子,舍不得吗?”雪里对食物很在意,他是知道的。这家伙会乐意帮人打架或是搬搬抬抬,但轻易不会和别人分享食物。 On his mouth is cracking a joke to turn on the bag, discovered that in is really three muskmelons, small also compared with adult fist big, but each is incomplete, on each one waists has a tooth seal. 他嘴上开着玩笑打开了袋子,发现里面果然是三个香瓜,小小的也就比成人拳头大一圈,不过每个都是不完整的,个个腰身上都有一圈牙印。 He a little gawked, this what situation? Examines poisonously has examined the brittle sweetness? 他有点愣了,这什么情况?验过毒还是验过脆甜度? Sitting that Yuki is depressed there, possibly thought that moist is uncomfortable, without, when Kitahara Shuji is a bystander, clutched directly was escaping the sock, rolled up foot in vain to be depressed: „It is not, inside also has my share, but Onee-chan went too far, I must walk am seen by her, seized by force to snatch the muskmelon to go to each to gnaw one, was good not to have the politeness!” 雪里闷闷的坐在那里,可能觉得潮湿不舒服,也没当北原秀次是外人,直接揪着就把袜子脱了,蜷缩着白白的脚丫郁闷道:“不是,里面也有我的份,但是姐姐太过份了,我都要走了被她看到了,强取豪夺抢了香瓜去每个都啃了一口,好没礼貌!” How she could not master Onee-chan this is! Does not want to eat, wants to eat only not to nip a row of tooth seal! But doesn't want to eat you to nip it to do? 她搞不懂姐姐这是又怎么了!又不是想吃,想吃也不会只咬上一排牙印啊!但不想吃你咬它干嘛呢? Kitahara Shuji was also speechless, which type does this mental illness little guy make? Demonstration? 北原秀次也无语了,这神经病小萝卜头又闹哪样?示威吗? Yuki looked at the muskmelon, looked at Kitahara Shuji and Yoko, is hesitating asking: I do not dislike Onee-chan to be dirty, do you dislike?” She asked that waited for a while, looked that Kitahara Shuji and Yoko did not speak, knows that they will not eat, sighed to touch one to gnaw, helpless said: I will look for the monkey to take two to compensate next time to you, his family/home opens the fruiterer's shop, should have, this time I all ate, do not waste.” 雪里看了看香瓜,又看了看北原秀次阳子,迟疑着问道:“我不嫌姐姐脏,你们嫌吗?”她问完等了一会儿,看北原秀次阳子都不说话,知道他们不会吃了,叹了口气摸起了一个啃了起来,无奈道:“我下次找猴子要两个赔给你们,他家开水果店的,应该有的,这次我全吃了吧,别浪费了。” Her depressed sitting cross-legged sits there is gnawing in gulps, probably makes a special trip to Kitahara Shuji here to eat the muskmelon in spite of the rain, but Kitahara Shuji was convinced to the sisters to this, put out the examination paper saying: Eats while presents the topic!” 她郁闷的盘腿坐在那里大口大口啃着,好像专程冒雨到北原秀次这里就是为了吃香瓜的,而北原秀次对这对姐妹都服气了,拿出了试卷说道:“边吃边做题吧!” Yuki nods: My this time strives to pass an examination.” 雪里点了点头:“我这次争取及格。” Kitahara Shuji has not spoken, you every week progressed for five points I to thank heaven and earth! But Yoko had thought that Yuki possibly did not threaten, was lifting the small fist to encourage to her at the same time: Yuki Onee-chan, come on!” 北原秀次没说话,你每周进步五分我就谢天谢地了!而阳子早就已经觉得雪里不可能是威胁了,在一边举着小拳头给她鼓劲:“雪里姐姐,加油!” When Yuki completes the topic, Kitahara Shuji also said to her, says to continue to do, special eye three hours on the past, but finally Yuki lay like the dead dog on the tatami, completely worn out- she lay there is motionless, the whole face was suffering, probably just by torture. 雪里做完题,北原秀次又给她讲,讲完继续做,专眼三个小时就过去了,而最后雪里像条死狗一样趴在榻榻米上,完全有气无力了-她趴在那里一动不动,满脸委屈,像是刚被上了酷刑。 Kitahara Shuji sighed, why said in this world to need the talent, was really the axiom. He has seen on Yuki the physical education, this fellow runs cheerfully likely only like only big rabbit, can fling a classmate entire circle, but how this did arrive in the learn/study to become this pitiful look? 北原秀次叹了口气,都说这世界上干什么都需要天赋,果然是至理名言。他见过雪里上体育课,这家伙跑起来像只欢快的像只大兔子一样,能甩同班同学一整圈,但这一到了学习上怎么就成了这熊样了? Although this little while to time of working also early, but he is not cruel enough to continue to devastate Yuki, moreover explains a subject also to speak to Yuki is head blasting open, sighed saying: Today arrived here, gets up we to go to the shop.” 虽然这会儿离打工的时间还早,但他已经不忍心继续摧残雪里了,而且给雪里讲题讲得自己也是脑袋炸裂,叹了口气说道:“今天就到这里吧,起来咱们去店里。” Yuki is willing to crawl finally, asked sadly: „Does my fool have the medicine to rescue?” 雪里终于肯爬起来了,伤心问道:“我这种笨蛋还有药可救吗?” Kitahara Shuji is nodding to comfort her slowly: Naturally, insisted that sooner or later can pass an examination.” How long as for spending does not say...... 北原秀次缓缓点着头安慰她:“当然,坚持下去早晚有一天能及格。”至于花多久就不好说了…… Kitahara Shuji words Yuki believes that finally regained a confidence, then after feeling better at heart a point and Yoko says goodbye, follows Kitahara Shuji to return to the pure taste room. Today Kitahara Shuji compared with usually comes early many, is preparing to go to the library to kill the time directly, but Yuki holds on him to be depressed: Completes the learn mood to be good to miss each time, accompanies me to go to the Buddhist temple to play a while?” 北原秀次的话雪里还是相信的,终于恢复了一点信心,心里好受了一点又和阳子道了别后便跟着北原秀次回了纯味屋。今天北原秀次比平时来得早很多,正准备直接去藏书室里消磨消磨时间,但雪里一把拉住他郁闷道:“每次学完习心情都好差,陪我去道场玩一会儿吧?” I do not go, yourself go!” Kitahara Shuji spoke thoughtlessly to comply with one to prepare before the corridor mouth and Yuki goes separate ways- Fukuzawa Family has opened the Buddhist temple, afterward changed the hospital to change the present izakaya, but was only front the shop front place separates came out to repair to press down the necessary equipment simply, other floors even have not traded, behind is preserving original condition- approximately accounted for about 1/3 of total area, was can only for the small-scale Buddhist temple that several people practiced. “我不去了,你自己去吧!”北原秀次随口应了一声就准备在楼道口和雪里分道扬镳-福泽家以前开过道场,后来改了医馆又改了现在的居酒屋,不过只是前面门脸处隔了出来简单装修了一下按上了必要的设备,其它的连地板都没换,后面更是保留着原貌-大约占一层总面积的三分之一左右,算是个只能供几个人练习的小型道场。 But he walked one not to take a walk, Yuki put out a hand to tow him to walk toward corridor another, the mouth grievance said: In family/home no one and I am well-matched, always chops the stuffed dummy not to have the meaning! I learned/studied in the afternoon obedient diligently, you also accompany me to play a while, calculates that I did ask you is not good? We are the good friends of being utterly devoted high mountain running water whistle jig to a milestone! Takes the sword to cut together mutually is not the natural matter?” 但他走了一步没走动,雪里伸手拖着他就往楼道另一头走去,嘴里委屈道:“家里没人和我旗鼓相当,总劈假人也没意思!我下午都听话努力学习了,你也陪我玩一会儿嘛,算我求你不行吗?我们是肝胆相照高山流水对牛弹琴的好友啊!一起拿着剑互砍不是理所当然的事吗?” Kitahara Shuji really does not want to go, but he makes an effort to struggle not to make Yuki unexpectedly, has been towed in the Buddhist temple direction by her. He was really speechless, what you were eat to grow up, why will have the strength of bear?! 北原秀次真不想去,但他用力挣扎着竟然弄不过雪里,被她一直拖着往道场方向去了。他真是无语了,你丫是吃啥长大的,为什么会有熊的力量?!
