At eight o'clock in the morning, Hosaka came to work. "morning!" He said good morning energetically, rustling his bag.It was a shoulder bag, and he always brought that bag to work.He kept pushing round glasses, and took out his favorite map of Japan and a white plastic bag from his bag. "Mr. Sanli, yesterday my mother brought over char siu pork. You have eaten it before, didn't you like it very much? Let's eat it again, it's really delicious." Hosaka's mother lived in the countryside of Hokuriku, and his father died suddenly when he was a student.With the help of Fanzaka's two younger brothers who were in junior high school and high school, the mother worked hard to cultivate the land left by her husband.Hosaka said that the family is always understaffed, so busy every day that there is no time to rest.Therefore, Fansaka will go to Beijing regardless of the opposition of the people around him.He regularly sends part of his salary home every month.The salary here is based on the number of days of work, so no matter how much I tell him to rest, he still comes to work every day.As a boss, I am of course very happy to have such an employee, but sometimes I worry about his health.

"Char siu..." I stood up, and my knee joints cracked because I had maintained the same position for a long time, "When did it get delivered?" "Huh? Yesterday!" "You left here at nine o'clock last night, how did you get the package?" "When I got home, I found a courier reminder slip at the door!" "At that time, the courier will not deliver any more!" "Ah, I went to the courier company to get it myself." "Liar." Hosaka scratched his slender head while lowering his head. "I see you didn't have much energy yesterday... I think eating something you like should restore your vitality..."

Hosaka sometimes tells such white lies.However, his lying skills are really not very good, and I have never been exposed by me. "Then I won't be polite." I took the plastic bag containing the char siu pork.This must be what he worked so hard on himself last night. "It's really delicious." "I think so." At this time, I feel that it is really ridiculous that I am troubled here. "Okay, today is a day off, call the neighbors, let's eat delicious barbecued pork together. Let's have a barbecued pork party." "Huh? But..."

"Don't worry, I'll give you paid leave." Hosaka clapped happily. "By the way, let's ask Miss Donge to come over too. I want her to eat the barbecued pork I made." Unintentionally, I found an excuse to contact Donge. All morning, I cleaned up the room as best I could, and I went through Fultz's portfolio as well, and a little videotape. Around noon, Uncle Nohara and Grandma Muko came over each with a liter of Japanese sake. "How is it? Have you sorted it out?" As soon as Grandma Muzi stepped into the room, she raised one eyebrow suspiciously.Uncle Nohara immediately shook his head. "No, it's still as dirty."

"Are the shirts all over the place?" "It's all piled up in the corner." "Sanli, if you go on like this, you won't be able to marry a wife, and you won't be able to find a girlfriend." "It's so boring, just sit down obediently..." "Brother Fanzaka, you stay here every day to look at the map, but it will stink and you won't be able to get a girlfriend." "yes……" "You have to cheer up!" Grandma Muzi wanted to touch Fansaka's head, but she couldn't.Hosaka quickly adjusted his position to accept Grandma's touch.

Tangmei and Wumei also came.The two were still inseparable like Siamese twins, and they gave me a big square jar. "We brought cookies." "I heard it's quite expensive." Tangmei held the jar with her left hand, and Wumei opened the lid with her right hand.It turns out that there are many seemingly high-end biscuits in it. "We counted it, and it's seventy-two yuan." "There are eight of us, and each of us gets nine yuan." The porch door was opened, and a huge figure stood in the corridor—shorts with a black shirt, a bright red tie, and a purple jacket, with the word "God" written in the center of its forehead.

"Hey, Dongping, come in. Fanzaka is already cutting char siu." As soon as Dongping walked in, he groaned and stretched out his thick hands to the twins.The two sisters also stood obediently in a tacit understanding.Dongping focused on taking out a few playing cards from the hair of the sisters, all of which were face cards. "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm—" Dongping hummed a wonderful song, and respectfully handed a handful of playing cards to Tangmei and Wumei.There are eleven in total. "Thank you, Brother Dongping." "But what are these?"

"These cards refer to us, Wumei." "Why does this stack of face cards refer to us?" "Look carefully, is there one missing?" "Really, the king of hearts is missing." Dongping just looked at them both with a smile.Without the head card of the King of Hearts, why is it the beauty of sugar and the beauty of dance?I can't panic either.Heart K, Dongping also gave me a card before... However, it can't be the same as that time, and it can't be related to suicide. "You're so dull, that's all!" Tangmei and Wumei whispered to each other.Then, Wumei opened her mouth wide in an "ah".

"So that's what happened, really, why is Brother Dongping so annoying!" Wumei punched Dongping lightly on the shoulder. "Hate?" Ah, so it is.After thinking about it for a while, I finally understood the meaning of the playing cards. Dongping nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and this time handed the playing cards to Uncle Nohara.It's four Q's. "Huh? What does this mean?" Uncle Nohara tilted his head, enjoying the puzzle that Dongping gave him. "I see." "I know too." "Have you all guessed it?" "Look carefully at the pattern of Q."

"Somewhere is a bit strange?" "Is there? Where?" "The queen doesn't have anything in her hands, does she?" "Yeah, I usually take that." That's it, I guessed it right away. Uncle Nohara frowned and looked up at the ceiling.Soon, "Oh oh oh" cried out. "So that's it, that's it! Hahaha, you can still joke! It's amazing!" Uncle Nohara slapped Dongping on the cheek. "Dongping, I want to play too, give me the cards." Hearing Grandma Muzi's request, Dongping put his hand into the back pocket of his trousers, and without using any skill, he rudely drew out a card.

"Hey, Granny Muzi, yours is a joke card!" Uncle Nohara said happily, and I unconsciously pursed my lips and laughed.I didn't expect that Dongping was even ready to laugh, not bad. At this time, Tangmei and Wumei deliberately covered the jar of Bingqian, and they brought the jar to Dongping together. "Brother Dongping, tell us how many biscuits are here, okay?" "We want to give everyone an equal share, but it's very troublesome to count." As a result, Dong Ping slowly shook his head and made a puffing sound unhappily.This is his habit, as long as someone asks knowingly, he will make this sound.He hates the feeling of being tested. "Hey, you two, don't play tricks on Dongping." Granny Muzi threatened the twins with a fierce expression. "Sorry." "Don't dare." The two shrank their necks and giggled.However, Dong Ping, with a gentle personality, still said "Hum" and put the seven and two cards on the biscuit tin.There are seventy-two biscuits in the jar, good answer. "Everyone, the char siu is here." Hosaka placed a large plate on his head and carried it into the room.At the same time, there was the sound of knocking footsteps in the corridor. "Hello everyone--" Dong'e, who was wearing sunglasses, poked his head in a little hesitantly.
