25. It is also very convenient to get married in the future
It's quiet around the hospital bed.
There was no sound for a while.
Sakichu Koto looked at Minamoto Yorimitsu blankly.
Her cherry-colored lips were slightly open and trembling.
You can even clearly feel your heartbeat speeding up.
In the end, it was Sakichu Kodou's grandmother who broke the silence.
"Ato's boyfriend?"
Grandma Qingshui was also obviously a little shocked. She sat on the hospital bed for a long time before she realized what she was doing. She looked at him and couldn't help but murmured something.
Minamoto Yorimitsu was probably the calmest person present. He had thought of this scenario in advance, and at this time he admitted generously: "Yes, my name is Minamoto Yorimitsu, and I am currently dating Saki Hatsumi."
As soon as he heard the word dating, Sakichu Koto couldn't help but trembled.
Some timid eyes peeked at his face from the slender bangs.
He grasped the hem of the skirt with both hands and released it, going back and forth several times.
"Good boy, good boy." Grandma Qingshui murmured a few words softly. She seemed to have just remembered how to treat guests, and immediately turned around and ordered: "A Teng, go make tea quickly!"
"Grandma...we don't have tea..."
Sakichu Koto's voice came over weakly.
Grandma Qingshui's face stiffened when she heard this, but she quickly returned to normal. She looked at Minamoto Norimitsu and said with a somewhat apologetic tone: "I really made you laugh. Our conditions are not very good and we were not prepared in advance."
Then she turned around and ordered:
"Aten, go down and buy some tea and come back. My wallet is under the mattress."
"Please don't bother me."
Minamoto Yorimitsu smiled and stopped Sakichu Kodou who was about to take action, then he lifted the bag at his feet to her side and explained softly: "I also bought black tea just now, it's in the bag I'm carrying, please brew it.
Bar."
Sakichu and Koto looked at him blankly.
Then he turned around and looked at his grandma.
He looked a little at a loss for a while.
Grandma Shimizu saw her granddaughter being so expressionless. She was so angry that she almost jumped off the hospital bed. She glared at Sakichu Koto and said, "Go and find her quickly!"
"...Whoa whoa..."
Sakichu and Xiaotou were scolded, but they didn't feel angry at all. They just stooped to look for it.
"A Teng is like this sometimes. Please don't mind and sit down quickly."
Grandma Qingshui looked at her granddaughter and sighed. She didn't know why she was worried. She turned around and quickly adjusted the quilt beside the bed. She smoothed the wrinkles on the mattress with her hands, leaving a space just for Minamoto Yorimitsu to sit down.
Space.
"I don't mind."
Minamoto no Yorimitsu didn't insist on standing, and sat down following the old man's wishes.
But it may be because of the first meeting.
Or maybe it's because strangers suddenly have a relationship.
After sitting down, the two looked at each other without saying anything.
The scene was even a little embarrassing.
In the end, Granny Shimizu, who had matured with age, was the first to speak. She naturally grabbed Minamoto Noraimitsu's hand and patted it. A smile appeared on her face that was so thin due to the pain:
"A Teng has a boyfriend, and he didn't even tell me in advance. This made the old lady unprepared today."
"Saki Hatsu-san and I have just dated, and it was me who asked you to come here today." Minamoto no Yorimitsu had already thought of an excuse, but it wasn't too unnatural.
"Alas~"
Grandma Qingshui sighed, as if the meeting was a done deal, she said directly: "The old woman is not in good health, you have seen it, and the family conditions are not good. She doesn't even have anything to entertain guests. It's really embarrassing to tell her.
."
"It doesn't matter. I know a little bit about Saki Hatsumi's situation. Please don't think that I will be biased." Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled and waved his hand. He didn't pretend to know anything, he just told the truth.
In fact, in normal conversations, sincerity is more useful than a mask.
At least his words did not make the old man feel bad. Instead, his eyes showed a more appreciative look, and even contained a little bit of relief and peace of mind.
On the other hand, Sakichu Koto, who was silently making tea next to him, pricked up his ears.
Hearing Minamoto no Yorimitsu's words, he even paused for a moment to put in the kettle.
Then he added water to it with some confusion.
"...Aguang...it's okay for me to call you this, my old lady. All the children in my hometown call me this. If you mind, I can change it."
"You can call me whatever you want. Although my name is Lai Guang, my parents also call me A Guang."
"Looking at your accent, are you from Kyoto too?"
"My hometown is in the countryside of Miwa Town."
"Miwa Town? What a fate, we are in Mizuho Town."
"I really don't know this, and I haven't asked Saki Hatsumi."
"Maybe our two families have relatives. If so, it would be more convenient. If you need a matchmaker when you get married in the future, it would be best to let relatives from both families act as matchmakers. Moreover, they are close, so I can rest assured that you will get married.
You don’t have to travel far to visit relatives...”
"..."
Miwa Town and Mizuho Town are both administrative areas under the jurisdiction of Kyoto City.
It is also the most typical countryside where Kansai farmers live.
It borders Hyogo Prefecture and is in the center of the Kinki region without any water bodies.
These two towns happen to be adjacent to each other, and Japan is such a big place. As a town with a lower-level administrative area, it can actually be reached by riding a tricycle in ten minutes. It seems that it is kind of fate.
"...grandma...tea..."
At this time, Sakichu Koto came over with a small bowl in hand. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at either of them, but his ears that were covered by his hair were red.
Her hands holding the small bowl were trembling a little, and she felt a little shy and uneasy. Why did grandma suddenly talk about marriage, and also talked about so many things after marriage, as well as matchmaking and visiting relatives after marriage.
But Yorimitsu Minamoto and her don't have that kind of relationship.
Just thinking of this, Sakichu Koto's head lowered a little, and his hidden eyes became sad.
Grandma Qingshui glanced at her granddaughter who was lost in thought again, tapped the table on the hospital bed with her fingers, and said angrily: "Serve the guests tea first."
Sakichu Koto was startled, but he came back to his senses in an instant. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quickly brought the small bowl to Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and said in a low and broken voice: "Please...please drink."
Tea..."
"Thanks."
Minamoto no Laiguang thanked him.
As soon as his voice fell and he took the small bowl handed over to him, Granny Qingshui, who was sitting on the hospital bed, suddenly said: "A Teng, you go to the pharmacy to get some medicine. I have finished everything the doctor prescribed."
"Ah? Receive medicine? Didn't you just get it a few days ago?"
Sakichu Koto raised his head and asked in confusion.
Grandma Qingshui patted her a little unsatisfactorily, took out the sheet from under the pillow and gave it to her. She pushed it slightly and said, "Go ahead if the old lady tells you to. I just finished the medicine."
"...oh..."
Although he didn't know what was going on, Sakichu Koto still took the order, glanced at Minamoto Norimitsu and quickly walked out with his head lowered.
When Sakichu and Koto walked out of the ward, they were the only two people left beside the bed.
Minamoto Yorimitsu felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this grandma, but on the surface she still pretended to be fine. Looking at the gray-haired old man, he asked loudly: "Are you hungry? I bought some snacks and gave them to you.
Some."
Grandma Qingshui waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need it, and then her cloudy eyes suddenly became brighter. She looked at Minamoto no Yoriguang's face with burning eyes and suddenly said:
"A Guang, you are not dating A Teng, are you?"
Minamoto Yorimitsu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then looked at the old man's face.
Seemingly aware of Minamoto Yorimitsu's strangeness, Grandma Qingshui was also afraid that he would misunderstand her, so she explained in a loud voice:
"Don't be nervous, kid. Although the old woman is not in good health, she is not blind yet. It is obvious whether you are dating or not, but the old woman can also see that you are not a bad boy."
"And this week's medical expenses are also paid by your child, right?"
"I don't mean any harm, and I'm very grateful to you. I just want to know..."
