On the first floor of "Green Rock Villa", there are several rooms that can be used for banquets, and are usually used as restaurants for tourists.Gongping and Chengshi's family are having dinner together in the room next to the kitchen.At six o'clock, he ran to the banquet room first.He heard before that the man named Tang Chuan was going to have dinner at this time. The sliding doors of the nearest banquet room were open, and a dining cart stood in the hallway.It seemed that Setsuko was just cooking. Gongping leaned his head and looked into the banquet room.The space in the room is enough for ten people to eat, but at this moment, only Yu Chuan is sitting inside.Setsuko was placing dishes on the dining table in front of Yukawa.

"Really? Then, some stores will be open late?" Tang Chuan asked.Gongping couldn't figure out what store he was asking about. "After all, this is the countryside. It's said that it's open late, but in fact it's only ten o'clock or ten thirty at most. If you don't mind, then I'll take you to a shop at that time." Setsuko replied . "That would be wonderful. Do you often go for a drink or two?" "Where is it? In fact, it's not often, just occasionally." "Really?" Tang Chuan suddenly turned his head and glanced at Gongping.When they met Yu Chuan's eyes, Gongping was taken aback, and quickly retracted his head.

"What's going on?" Katsuko asked.She doesn't seem to have discovered Gongping yet. "No, nothing. I'm starting." Yu Chuan's voice came from behind, and Kyohei hurriedly ran away on tiptoe. After a while, Gongping and the others also had dinner.Perhaps it was because Setsuko hadn't seen this nephew for a long time, there were a lot of dishes on the table, and the main course was sashimi. "Eat more. After living here for a while and returning home, if your parents see that their son has lost weight, then we can't afford it." Chongzhi pushed the plate of sashimi towards Gongping. , said.His belly was as round as a watermelon.

"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that kid Gonghei would actually recruit guests for us. I was really surprised." Setsuko said.She seemed to have heard what Tang Chuan had said before. "I just looked at the map here, but I didn't expect him to copy the phone number." "That's enough. He probably felt relieved when he saw that even a child like you dared to come to our hotel alone." Is that true?Gongping couldn't help being a little puzzled.He himself felt that this did not seem to be the case. According to Cheng, this man named Yu Chuan is a physicist, and this time he came to participate in the briefing on the development of seabed resources here.Gongping recalled the time when he wrapped his cell phone in aluminum foil.

When it was almost seven o'clock, Cheng Shi stood up.It is said that there will be a gathering among their fellow environmentalists in the evening.Gongping also returned to the room, waiting to watch the TV program he wanted to watch. Gongping went to the elevator and waited for a while.The elevator door opened, and the elderly short-haired male passenger came out of the elevator.He was wearing a bathrobe and looked good, as if he had already taken a bath.Seeing Gongping, the man showed a surprised expression on his face, but then he went straight to the banquet room. Gongping took the elevator to the second floor.He lived in a room big enough for four people.Setsuko thought that the room was too wide, and maybe Kyohei would feel a little lonely, but Kyohei was no longer a child, so Setsuko was simply worrying needlessly.Kyohei lay down on the tatami in big characters, and reached out to pick up the remote control of the TV.

After watching TV for about an hour, Kyohei got up to close the curtains.He glanced out of the window as he drew the curtains.There should have been a sea in the distance, but it was pitch black outside the window at this moment, and nothing could be seen. After a while, Gongping heard the entrance door was opened and someone left the hotel.Looking closer, it was Yu Chuan and Setsuko.It's so late, where are they going?Looking around, Gongping did not find Shigeharu's figure. At this moment, the phone in the room rang suddenly.Gongping was taken aback, and quickly picked up the phone.

"Hey?" "Ah, Kyohei. I'm uncle. Are you asleep?" Shigeji said. "Not yet, I was watching TV just now." "Really? Let's go to set off fireworks together? There are still some fireworks at home that I bought last time." "Ah, go, go." "Then, come downstairs." "okay." Gongping ran downstairs, and Chongzhi was already waiting for him at the shoe changing place.At Chongzhi's feet, there was a bucket and a cardboard box. "Everyone has gone out. If we don't go out to play, we will lose money." Chongzhi said.

Gongping leaned his head and looked into the cardboard box.There are not only fireworks that are set off by hand, but also some sky cannons that are placed on the ground and ignited. There are quite a lot of types. "Then let's go. Gongping, please carry the cardboard box." Chongzhi lifted the bucket, leaning on a cane with the other hand, and took steps.Gongping picked up the cardboard box and followed closely behind his uncle.
