"Why has it been raining these days?"

In front of the warehouse, the old man Uesugi who bit the cigarette at the corner of his mouth picked up a basket of oranges, lifted them up and placed them on the truck.

"It's really unclear. There was basically no rain in previous years." Yunko Uesugi, who rolled up her sleeves, pushed the last basket of oranges into it, then jumped out of the car and clapped her hands, and closed the car door.

"Is it going to leave?"

After helping, Uesugi and Uesugi Xi stood aside.

"Freshness is the top priority for fruits, and this is also to ensure the quality and quality of oranges."

The old man Uesugi was biting the cigarette and was a little confused, but after finishing his work, he took out a very old wallet from his purse.

A few large ten thousand yuan notes were drawn out from it and given to Uesugi.

"grandfather......"

"He helped all day and always had something to eat."

"It's not enough to eat 60,000 yen."

"I said I wanted it, I could buy anything."

The powerful old man forced Liu Zhang Fukuzawa Yukichi into Uesugi's hands.

Aunt Uesugi Yunko smiled and said, "Azhao, I said it before, this is wages."

“…”

"It's a good kid to accept it, come on, Xiao Xi."

The old man called Uesugi Hiro over again and gave the same wages from his wallet.

Uesugi Shi understands his grandfather's character very well, so he doesn't try to shirk like Uesugi.

"Grandpa, your side...is it really okay?" Uesugi asked.

"Is it the farmer association?" The old man with white hair smiled, very cheerful and happy, "Does the little grandson want to help grandpa?"

“…”

The happy smile of the old man Uesugi quickly calmed down again, and the faint smoke continued to float towards the sky full of dark clouds:

"It's too early for you two children. It's not enough to get everything back from them, even if you're going to break your body or even lose your family."

Uesugi Dok understands that grandpa rarely speaks such words.

"Did you see the cut orange tree?" Old Master Uesugi turned around and pointed to the hill behind the house.

"Um."

"That's what those guys bribed people, Jiro was injured because of this, and their purpose was simple and clear-cut-"

Mr. Uesugi did not finish his words, "At that time, we had already gathered many people and prepared to save our rights together, but as soon as my tree was cut down, Jiro was injured and hospitalized, and their family members were intimidated, their minds began to shake."

"Coercion and temptation are their common methods, and I can understand the judgment they made under two choices, haha, where is the human being!"

"What about now?" Uesuma Doo heard that his grandfather was unwilling to say more, and ignored many details. He probably didn't want to touch on these things that he couldn't solve.

"Now?" Uesugi's old man smiled, "It's a kind of mutual compromise. I will continue to supply them. In addition to the amount of goods they need, I can find some channels to sell them myself."

"The reason...of course they still like the oranges grown by me, the old man."

At the end, Mr. Uesugi's eyes returned to his two grandchildren:

"Azhao, Xiaoxi, I know that a large part of your visit is because of me, but many things cannot be solved by two extra high school students. I have never been at home before and there are reasons why I don't want you to get involved.

"It is enough for you to live your own lives with peace of mind, and grandpa is also the most gratifying to see these."

————————————

Grandpa's van disappeared at the end of the rain-filled coastline road.

Uesuma Sato held up a transparent umbrella and walked back home with his cousin.

"Azhao."

"Um."

"Does there feel that you can't help with anything?" said Uesugi. "Originally, it was mainly for grandpa's business when I came back here."

"Do as much as possible, our identities are just students."

Uesugi Shi remained silent. She just didn't like this feeling of wanting to help but not helping anything.

There are still some passers-by walking through the town streets in the rain.

In the faint mist splashed by the rain, a person came towards the road ahead.

He held a black umbrella and shook his shoulders. His eyes looked weak, and his facial features could be vaguely similar to Uesugi Hi.

He stopped in front of the two and reached out to Uesugi.

"Do you want to play cards again?"

"Money." Uesugi Jiro, who had a haggard face, just stretched out his hand.

The rain made the umbrella surface buzzing, splashing out movements.

"But last time... you have caused a lot of trouble to everyone."

"That's just that they deceived me." Uesugi Jiro glanced at Uesugi's Sugi's next to her, and then continued to stretch out his hand.

"Just give me the money."

Uesugi Hiba had long been used to the hand that stretched out to her, but when she saw her father's appearance, she had no choice but to take out the 60,000 yen that her grandfather had just given her.

Staring at his daughter's hand holding the money, Uesugi Jiro's hand stretched out was still hanging in the air: "That's all? Have you hidden money again and bought lollipops to eat?"

At the moment when Uesugi Hi was about to hand over the money, Uesugi Jiro, who was holding a black umbrella, criticized in a cold tone:

"childish."

Childish, who is more childish than asking his daughter for money?

At the end of hearing, Uesugi Teru grabbed the 60,000 yen that was about to hand over to his uncle's uncle.

Not to mention anything else, he knew that Sister Xi had never bought any good-looking clothes, cosmetics and other things for girls.

The only thing I give myself is the cheap lollipop.

I thought she was saving money, but now it seems that she has handed it all over to my uncle.

"Give me the money." Uesugi Jiro, who shrugged his shoulders, just turned his hand in a direction.

Uesugi Do was complaining about his blind borrowing money:

"For my father's sake, I respectfully call you uncle, but for your cousin, who has never done much since childhood, what qualifications do you have to ask for money from your underage daughter?"

Uesugi Hi was raised by her grandparents and started in the third year after birth.

"What she owes me will naturally have to repay for the rest of her life."

"Give it to him, Azhao."

Uesugi Do not understand what Sister Xi has to owe this fake father, "Confirm?"

"Well," Uesugi Hiba responded with a much lower voice than before, "Give it to him."

In the rainy street, the lifeless Jiro Uesugi grabbed the neatly tidy sixty thousand yen in his hand, held the black umbrella and left the other end.

"What can you owe him, Sister Xi?"

Uesugi Hi just shook his head, then turned his face to the side, and looked at him with royal blue eyes and said, "Do you remember those complaints I told you before?"

“…”

"Things about my uncle?"

Uesugi Hiru breathed out and closed his eyes. The sound of rain suddenly filled his ears, and he recalled them for a long time.

"I have no pursuit, but every time I think of my mother's weakness in a wheelchair, I feel that there is no need for me to exist.

"Without me... my father and mother must have lived a happy life now."

After about half an hour after returning to Uesugi's house, Uesugi Sao was recalling his cousin's affairs.

Her mother is a disabled person and has always been sitting in a wheelchair. Since he met this uncle, her expression has been getting worse every day.

I don’t know what my aunt’s disease is, but I know that this is the root cause of the disease that only fell after my cousin was born.

My father Jiro is busy spending money every day, but his mother's health is getting worse and worse, and she has accumulated debts to cure her illness.

In the end, a mother took the initiative to leave and jumped into the sea...

What was Uesugi's deepest impression of Sister Xi when he was a child?

That was when she stood on the shore and looked at the fishing boats trying to find her mother, behind her were the residents of the small town.

My father sat in front of the coast with those pieces of white papers with weak heads hanging down, letting the tide wet his pants.

Soon, the young Uesugi Hii was sent to her grandfather's house in the same town. When she got up at night to go to the bathroom, she even heard her father and grandfather having a big fight.

From that day on, she knew that she was probably someone she was not liked by her father.
