Not long after...

Everyone in the room had a bowl of hot red bean and rice cake soup.

The red beans that had been soaked in advance were boiled into three parts beans and seven parts sand. As for why it could be cooked to this point in a short time using only an ordinary pot... Well, someone pretended to be a "wall breaker" with a spoon

"The Nidaime Hokage smiled and said nothing. Continuously crushing the cooked red beans on the wall of the pot can indeed achieve this effect. Except for the fact that it is a bit tiring for ordinary people, there is no problem at all.

In the middle of the process, he even made an extra concession: he brought over some ten-year-old tangerine peel from Senju's house. Since he had no time to soak it, he had to wash it, scrape off the white flesh inside, and then grind it into fine pieces.

Sprinkle into the pot to enhance aroma.

In order to increase the viscosity of the bean paste, some extra rice flour made from glutinous rice was put in the pot. It’s not much, it’s mainly to thicken and enhance the flavor, and it won’t overwhelm the others.

There are two types of rice cakes.

One is the most common roasted rice cake. The rice cake is baked on the fire until the color is yellow or even slightly charred, the outer shell is bulging, and it is brushed and sticky to the teeth, and then placed on top of the red bean soup;

The other is to cut it into small pieces and add it in during the cooking of red bean soup.

Red beans are two experiences;

Rice cakes are also two experiences.

A fastidious old man, even when making sweets he doesn’t like, he is still so careful and meticulous~

As a result, when a tray of red bean rice cake soup was brought to the table, it won the full house's applause. Everyone, with Uchiha as the "leader", stood up straight and applauded.

Between Thousand Hands: = =

——Believe it or not, I won’t let you eat it?

...Of course, he also knew that if he dared to say this, his little wife might be able to roll on the floor.

It's cute, but he doesn't want this scene to be seen by others. If there are only two of them, then he can smile and watch her roll around until she is tired, and then bend down to pick her up and kiss her.

"Please use."

"Thank you~"

"Thank you, Tobirama-sama."

"Second Grandpa, thank you for your hard work~"

…

After some words, everyone began to taste the red bean and rice cake soup.

Senju Tobirama didn't look at anyone else, only looking at the girl beside him. He saw the latter scooping up a spoonful of red bean soup and stuffing it into her mouth, chewing it for a moment, and gave her first comment——

"Yes, enough sugar has been added."

"..." He didn't know whether to be disappointed or funny, that's it? Shouldn't he be praised for his excellent cooking skills?

This expression didn't appear on his face, it was only expressed through his eyes. However, how could he hide it from Uchiha? She immediately smiled and praised him, praising the latter's cooking skills to the heavens and the earth.

None, then...

Concluding remarks——

"Ahem...so, the amazing Chef Tobirama~ Do you think he is pitiful? You gave me the sugar jar and asked me to add a little more to the bowl?"

"Absolutely impossible." Senju Tobirama replied decisively, "In addition, it only has the flavor of sugar, how can you get other flavors."

"..." Cut~

Uchiha had no choice but to keep eating the scallops with a slightly bulging face. Fortunately, even if she ate like this, it was quite delicious. In other words, this was the most delicious red bean rice cake soup she had ever eaten since she lost her memory.

after……

Everyone played for a while longer.

Seeing that the time was approaching evening, Mochizuki Wakana felt reluctant to leave, and began to urge her sister and brother-in-law to leave——

"Calamus, and Lord Tobirama, it's time for you to go back."

After all, she was also from a family, and she knew that if the head of the family and his wife were still hanging around at this time, they would probably be criticized.

It doesn't really matter to Senju Tobirama. Just criticize if you have any. As long as they don't make her upset in front of her, just treat them as if they don't exist.

Uchiha Oichi didn't want to cause any trouble to her husband, or in other words, she was very happy to be able to go home like this on New Year's Eve.

So she stood up decisively, nodded and said, "Okay, then we will go back today. In a few days..."

While speaking, she subconsciously looked at Qianju Tobirama.

The latter, who also stood up, nodded and said with a smile: "We will come to visit together tomorrow and the day after."

"Then I want to come too." Little Tsunade said suddenly.

Hearing this, the Uchiha belt looked at her with some surprise.

"What, what? Isn't it possible?" Little Tsunade raised her chin and asked, seemingly proud but actually a little nervous.

"Of course." Mochizuki Wakana stroked her bulging belly and said with a smile, "I wish I could see you more. It would be great if my future children could be just as good-looking." Of course, she herself also knew that it was a bit difficult.

Gao, after all, both she and her husband are "middle-class".

"That makes sense~" Uchiha smiled and raised his hand to put on little Tsunade's shoulder, squeezing gently, "Then let's come together then. Then, how about playing cards together? Like today."

"Hmm~" Little Tsunade thought, if you want to say this, I will be happy. If time permits, we can play all night. I promise I won't be sleepy!

Of course, she was just thinking about it. After all, pregnant women are not suitable for staying up late.

When little Jiraiya heard this, he suddenly showed a slightly envious expression, but he wisely did not speak.

Senju Tobirama noticed this and said with a smile: "Jiraiya, let's come together when the time comes."

"Hey?" Little Jiraiya raised his head in surprise and asked a little stuttering, "But, is it okay?"

"Of course." Uchiha smiled and nodded, "Otherwise, Tobirama wouldn't have a match."

Little Jiraiya raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, revealing a particularly bright smile.

Soon...

Everyone left the home of Mochizuki and his wife.

Senju Tobirama and Uchiha walked hand in hand in front, while the two little ones followed obediently behind.

After little Tsunade walked a certain distance, she stood still, looked back at the house she had just stayed in, and suddenly said, "I want to live like that in the future."

"...What?" Little Jiraiya asked subconsciously.

"The house doesn't need to be that big. If it's big, it will look empty. If it's smaller, fill it with all kinds of furniture. Then, live together with important relatives, like just now, gather together to eat, drink, chat and play. When you're tired, go to bed.

"Little Tsunade murmured, "I also want to live such a life in the future."

"..." Little Jiraiya widened his eyes slightly, not quite understanding what the person in front of him was saying. After all, she was a princess of the Senju clan, so she should have been accustomed to a life of rich clothes and fine food, and her family members obviously

They all treated her very well. If she wanted to, of course she could live the life she has now.

He is indeed very precocious, but there are some things that at this age he still cannot understand the world.

For example...

After little Tsunade's parents passed away, she was determined not to move to another courtyard to live with others, and stayed alone in an empty courtyard.

The courtyard without its other two owners was so vast and desolate.

She lives there, although she can still feel the breath of her parents day and night, but...but...

I also endured grief day and night.

The children of the Senju family seem to be born with a stubborn character.

Little Tsunade was tempering herself with this kind of pain unconsciously. She didn't want to be immersed in it, she wanted to work hard to get out.

But at the same time, she is still longing for more warmth.

And in the process, her mentality also changed a little...

That is, compared to such a spacious and lonely room, she prefers a smaller one filled with relatives.

Little Jiraiya didn't quite understand this mentality, but that didn't stop him from keeping these words in mind. Then he said goodbye to everyone and left.

The little child is still very measured. He knows that it is good enough to ask for such a happy time on New Year's Eve, and he cannot ask for more. Moreover, asking for more is like "begging", and he does not

like.

The Uchiha wanted to stop her, but she didn't have time. She hesitated for a moment and finally chose to stand firm instead of hurting the last self-esteem that a child was trying to maintain.

Although Qianju Tobirama, who was walking in front, was far away from the two young men behind him, he naturally heard these words clearly. His originally relaxed heart suddenly became heavy, and he sighed slightly unconsciously.

After the death of their eldest nephew and eldest nephew-in-law, each of them proposed that Xiao Gang move to their own courtyard, but they were all rejected by this too stubborn child.

Xiaozun...

I am trying hard to force myself to grow through pain, and I can't wait to grow into a posture that can protect everyone.

As a ninja, he knew that this was not a wrong decision; however, as an elder, he felt pity and pain in his heart every time he thought about it.

actually……

And, he also has Noriko's body tissue in his hands. If he is willing, it is not impossible to bring them back to the Pure Land temporarily.
