Chapter 29 Is this a return home?

Standing at the entrance of Xiaolu Village, Torataro put down his luggage, put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Xiaolu! I, Torataro, am back!"

"Torataro is back...he's back..." The loud voice echoed in the mountains and forests, and the snow on the shaking branches fell rustling down.

"Woof! Woof woof woof~!"

The first person to respond to them was not their family, but their brother Cat Taro.

I saw a red and yellow figure flying out of the snow-covered village like an arrow.

Seeing Bai Chuanfeng and his group from a distance, Dahuang's running speed accelerated again.

"Woof woof woof!" When the big yellow came near, he ran straight towards Torataro. While barking, he stood upright and put his front paws on Torataro's body.

"Haha, Cat Taro, you are indeed my brother, you are the first one to pick me up!"

It must be a dog, Shirakawa Feng felt disgusted when he saw Dahuang sticking out his tongue and licking Torataro's face affectionately.

Rhubarb, which was jumping around in place, turned around and stood upright again, turning to Shirakawa Kaede.

The tail of the big yellow that landed on the ground flew up with its tail wagging, and Bai Chuanfeng was even worried that it would take off if it went faster.

"Thank you, Uncle Shirakawa, I understand." After saying goodbye to the Shirakawa family, Torataro picked up his luggage and walked slowly home.

Just at this moment, there was a voice in front of them. Shirakawa Kaede and Torataro looked and saw that it was their family members who were leading the way. They were followed by a few idlers from the village who were watching the excitement.

"Uncle Maruyama!" Shirakawa Kaede walked over quickly and stood between him and Torataro.

Shirakawa Hayato's lips moved, his eyes were both proud and a little excited, but in the end they turned into a plain greeting, "It's dark and strong, well done."

Seeing everyone looking over, the man's face became hot, and then he raised his palm in shame and anger and was about to slap him down.

Torataro took a step forward and was about to argue, but was stopped by Shirakawa Kaede's eyes.

"For those who didn't come, Torataro and I will visit you later." Shirakawa Kaede finished scattering the things in his hands and added another note of concern.

"Idiot, what does television have to do with great writers?"

When he was about to enter the village, Bai Chuanfeng stopped and opened his backpack. "Dear uncles and uncles, these are some small gifts I brought back from Tokyo. Please be polite and thank you all for taking care of us this year."

The people around him shook their heads when they saw this scene. Everyone knew the virtues of that Maruyama guy best.

Smelling the faint smell of alcohol coming from his body, Shirakawa Feng frowned. It seemed that Tora Taro was having an unsettled new year again.

"I said Xiaofeng will become a great writer. You can even watch a TV set, which is better than the one at the village chief's house."

But Kazuko ignored her and quickly came to Bai Chuanfeng. First she glanced at him with red eyes, and then she hugged him into her arms.

"If you can get a TV set, can great writers be far behind?"

"Xiao Feng, that's amazing. You all have color TVs at home. I heard that you sent them back from Tokyo? It's unbelievable."

In their eyes, at the same age, Shirakawa Kaede and Torataro grew up playing together. However, their family atmosphere and their respective futures are completely different. However, it is strange that they are still very close to each other now.

.

"Uncle Maruyama, if you have any questions, please go home first. Torataro has been tired for a long day and may not be in good spirits."

"Father" Bai Chuanfeng walked over and saluted respectfully.

"As expected of a college student, this is not a problem for Xiaofeng at all."

Believe it or not, if Torataro is not careful, the contents of his bag will be taken by Maruyama in exchange for drink money the next day.

Everyone took the things with smiles on their faces. These were things they had never seen in the mountain village. They were rare and tight.

So when Kazuko heard Torataro's faint cry from the entrance of the village, he immediately threw away the wool in his hand, stepped on his clogs and trotted out.

The gifts Shirakawa Kaede prepared for everyone were basically Western-style snacks, small ornaments, children's gadgets, and other new things that everyone had never seen before.

Torataro enjoyed it, and hugged Dahuang before putting down the two dog paws.

The noisy people were chattering non-stop as they walked towards the village.

"We are all from the same hometown, so we should take care of each other."

"Go, go, go." Bai Chuanfeng stroked its head perfunctorily and pushed the enthusiastic dog's face away. He didn't want to experience its sticky tongue.

Torataro nodded with a sad expression, his air of just returning to the village had long since disappeared.

"Torataro, if you have anything to say, please tell me. Don't be impulsive. If you really can't do it, just come to me."

"Xiao Feng is such a filial child."

Dahuang whimpered aggrievedly, but after sniffing his nose, he circled around the two people excitedly.

Not to mention Bai Chuanfeng's first-year tuition, they all contributed more or less. With these alone, they deserve Bai Chuanfeng's courtesy.

Everyone in the village was watching the excitement, and Shirakawa Kaede signaled him not to cause trouble with Torataro here.

Everyone was talking politely, but Bai Chuanfeng still delivered the things to everyone with a smile on his face.

Shirakawa Kaede nodded, and then began to say hello to Torataro's mother, Miki, and the locals who were watching the fun together.

There was a snap, and before Bai Chuanfeng could chew the rhubarb, the hot dog had already disappeared.

The man named Maruyama saw that it was Shirakawa Kaede. He put down his palms in a sullen manner, but it was still the villain who complained first, "This guy is not filial at all!"

"Mother" Bai Chuanfeng patted her back gently, and Hezi reluctantly separated from him. He held Bai Chuanfeng's face with both hands and looked at it carefully, "It's a little darker."

Kashiwagi, who returned to the village early, had told them that Shirakawa Kaede and Torataro should be back today.

When Shirakawa Hayato heard the movement, he was no slower than his wife, but when he was about to approach Shirakawa Kaede, he slowly slowed down again.

"Isn't that right? When I was a child, I said that Xiaofeng would definitely be a person who would do big things in the future."

"Xiao Feng, you're too polite."

Shirakawa Kaede smiled at her mother, then turned to look at Shirakawa Hayato, who had been watching him silently.

Seeing this, Hayato Shirakawa walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Torataro. If it doesn't work, I will talk to that guy Maruyama."

Since the afternoon, Hezi has stood at the entrance of the village and looked around from time to time. Even when he returned home and was busy with things at hand, he would look up at the door from time to time.

"I heard that Xiaofeng and Torataro made a lot of money in Tokyo. It really deserves to be Tokyo."

Hey! This dog's nose is pretty sharp. And Torataro had already laughed, took out a hot dog without the packaging from his bag and threw it to it.

"What are you doing? Let go!" Torataro turned around, put his backpack behind him and looked at the man opposite him fiercely.

“…”

Maruyama still had some shame, and glared at Torataro angrily before throwing up his sleeves and walking home.

Just then, a slovenly middle-aged man walked up to Torataro with a smile and rubbed his hands. When he saw Torataro's bulging backpack, his eyes lit up and he reached out to pick it up.

"Let's go back too." Everyone dispersed, and Shirakawa Hayato also called his family to go home.

Kazuko held Shirakawa Kaede's wrist and said with a smile, "I heard Kashiwagi said that you did great things in Tokyo. You must talk about it when you get home."

"Okay" Bai Chuanfeng nodded with a smile.
