Chapter 222.
“May I ask if this is No. 6 Pingwang Street?”
“Yes, girl you are?” The landlord, Mr. Zhou, who had returned from his walk, looked at the courteous little girl in front of him with a look of surprise and asked.
“I’m here to find Cheng Merjun.”
“Detective Cheng, you are Japanese?” Elder Zhou gave a yarang sound, only the Japanese are used to adding the word “Jun” after their name.
“Yes, old man, do you recognize him?” Chiyoko gave a slight nod and said with a smile on her face.
“Recognize, he lives in the same courtyard as me, come in.” Elder Zhou didn’t say anything, although he didn’t have much goodwill towards the Japanese out of national sentiments, but for a girl, he couldn’t afford to be that cold-eyed.
“Thank you.”
Chiyoko carried a gift box and followed the old man into the courtyard.
“Inspector Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, your family has guests.”
“Oh, coming.” Cheng Mo, who was busy in the kitchen, hurriedly agreed, wiped his hands on his bib, took it off, hung it on the wall, and hurriedly walked out.
Seeing that Chiyoko was already in the courtyard, he busily said, “Chiyoko, you’re here.”
“Inspector Cheng, is this the guest you’re entertaining today?” Elder Zhou walked past him and asked in a low voice.
“Yes, the daughter of my teacher who studied in Japan.” Cheng Mo explained in a small voice.
Elder Zhou nodded, it was easy to understand.
“Quite good, it’s a pity that it’s a Japanese woman.” Elder Zhou sighed, carried his hands behind his back, and went straight back to the house.
Cheng Mo was slightly embarrassed and hurriedly went forward, “Chiyoko, my house is over here, please come in.”
“Thanks a lot.” Chiyoko gave a slight nod and followed Cheng Mo into the small parlor of the small two-story building on the right.
Originally decorated in Japanese style, after Cheng Mo rented it, he made some slight changes and changed it back to Chinese style, so that it was more pleasant to the eyes.
Tatami mats, Japanese decorations and other things have been replaced, and then replaced a batch of furniture, although not new, but it looks much more comfortable than in the past.
In fact, the new doesn’t necessarily look better than the old.
“Please have a seat, I’ll go make you some tea.”
Su Moer then walked in as well, and seeing Cheng Mo preparing to make tea, she hurriedly walked over and said, “I’ll do it, you accompany the guest to talk for a while.”
“Uh-huh.”
“The cold room is simple, I’m slow.” Cheng Mo said to Chiyoko.
“No, it’s quite good.” Chiyoko hurriedly handed Cheng Mo the gift box she brought along with her, “It’s my first time to come to Cheng Mo Jun’s house as a guest, these are the pastries I made with my own hands, please accept them.”
“Thank you.” Cheng Mo knew that this was Japanese etiquette, and immediately reached out to take it, nodding his head in thanks.
Su Mo’er made tea and brought it over.
“Chiyoko, let me introduce, this is my wife, Su Moer, she is a doctor.” Cheng Mo got up and solemnly introduced Su Moer.
“Mrs. Cheng, hello, my name is Chiyoko, please take care of me.” Chiyoko followed suit and stood up, facing Su Mo’er with a slight bow.
“Miss Chiyoko is polite, please sit down, you chat, I’ll go to the kitchen to check the fire.” Su Mo’er was slightly uncomfortable, after all, this Japanese had too much superficial etiquette, making her feel a little too fake.
“Cheng Mo Jun, your wife is very beautiful.” Chiyoko said as she sat down.
“Yes, I fell in love at first sight with Moe, and then quickly established a relationship.” Cheng Mo laughed and explained. “Love at first sight?”
“It means falling in love with each other at the first sight.” Cheng Mo explained.
“Don’t you all get to know each other first?” Chiyo asked in surprise, while a hint of sourness and unwillingness was in her eyes.
“It feels right, that’s actually enough.”
“Then, in all the years you were in Japan, was Cheng Mojun always without feelings for me?” Chiyo asked with a sudden sourness in her heart.
“This ……” Cheng Mo was not really able to answer, if he did not need to contact Chiyoko again, he could have been more desperate, and the matter would have passed.
But now, whether it is the Junta, or the organization needs him to continue to keep in contact with Chiyoko, if his words are too desperate, how can they get along in the future?
“Chiyoko, this feeling is different, the first time I met with my wife, I felt that she is the person I want to stay together in my life, while for you, I was thinking that it was a kind and cute girl, not to mention that you were still young at that time, how could I not have that kind of feeling for you, right?” Cheng Mo explained with a smile.
Chiyoko was five years younger than Cheng Mo, when they first met, Chiyoko hadn’t even graduated from middle school yet, so he couldn’t be any more beastly to fall in love with a little girl, right?
When she grew up, maybe there was still a possibility.
Chiyoko’s mood a little better, Cheng Mo said, she is able to accept, Cheng Mo east to Japan, she is only fourteen or fifteen years old age, to love and what is still ignorant of the state of it, really feel like Cheng Mo, is she went to the university of the matter.
Therefore, the feeling of “love at first sight” could not be applied to them.
“Chiyoko, you are the teacher’s daughter, you are considered my senior sister, so call me senior brother from now on.” Cheng Mo said.
“Senior brother?” Chiyoko gave a hesitant cry, was this settling the “name” completely?
“Elder brother, you know this house, come often in the future.” Cheng Mo said, “If I’m not here, it’s fine if your sister-in-law is at home, you’re both women, you should have something in common.”
Chiyoko gave a slight nod.
“Stay home for lunch, try me and your sister-in-law’s handiwork.” Cheng Mo got up and said, “Sit for a while, feel free to visit, upstairs is our bedroom, over there is my study, I’ll go help your sister-in-law.”
“Okay.”
Cheng Mo returned to the kitchen and pushed Su Moer out, letting her accompany Chiyoko for a while, she was in the kitchen, it was estimated that the noon meal would not know when she would be able to eat it.
Su Moer brought in the washed and cut fruits on a plate.
“Miss Chiyoko, have some fruit.” Su Moer generously invited, Japan’s poor resources, not only agricultural products are not many, fruit is even less, especially some tropical fruits, storage time is short, transportation time is long, seldom be able to eat, basically are supplied to the rich and powerful.
Shanghai is nearly half the distance, naturally much better than Japan itself.
“Thanks.” Chiyoko suppressed the hint of jealousy within her and nodded her head in thanks.
“I heard our Amer tell stories about studying in Japan, and every time, he always mentioned that you and your father, his teacher, took quite a lot of care of him, and he was very thankful for that, so he’s still very happy that you’ve come to work in Shanghai, and he hopes to be able to take more care of you in your life as well, after all, you’re a person who’s far away from your parents and family and came to China, and it’s only right that you should do the same as a friend. ” Su Moer showed everyone’s demeanor, the moment she opened her mouth, she took the initiative position.
“Thanks.”
“Your previous matter, I also heard Amer mention it, he, is quite inviting to women, there is no way, if it is not such an excellent man, I could not possibly look at him, Miss Chiyoko likes it, I can also understand, but now that Amer and I are already married, the previous matter should be considered as a kind of regretful memory, let it pass, don’t you think so? ”
“Yes, I don’t have any non-interesting thoughts about Cheng Mojun …… ” Chiyoko was a little short of breath.
The one who came was a guest, and Su Mo’er was on point, otherwise it would appear that she, the host, was too overbearing and didn’t know how to treat a guest.
