Genshin Impact: Journey to Teyvat

Chapter 640: Together for Life

Xiaogong couldn't help but smile: "Hey, everyone is very ambitious and has their own understanding of business. In Daozuma's, gradually only Gengyi is left."

Although it is difficult to get together again, as long as there are still people coming, a group of people will have an indispensable interest in watching the fireworks.

Geng Yiyi nodded: "Yes, no matter how good friends are, there will inevitably be barriers after being separated for a long time, but under the fireworks, you can instantly return to the state of childhood, talking about everything."

Geng Yi's expression was very happy, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes were full of tenderness, as if he had thought of something.

"This kind of memory is eternal for us."

Paimon suddenly realized: "So that's it. This is the memorial that Xiao Gong mentioned before."

Xiao Gong nodded. It was precisely because of this that she could not live up to everyone's expectations for the fireworks.

Due to time constraints, Xiaomiya planned to go back to Sakujiro as soon as possible: "We are leaving first, Koichi, thank you for the boat!"

Geng Yi nodded repeatedly, he had to leave quickly, he didn't want to be caught red-handed.

Xiao Gong kept introducing me as he walked on the road: "Speaking of which, every time Gengyi brings his friends from the Chamber of Commerce to see me, his friends will tell me about playing with me and hugging me when they were young."

Speaking of this, Xiao Gong felt helpless: "But there were too many of them. I didn't remember anything when I was a child, so I didn't leave any particularly clear impression."

Ying looked at Xiao Gong's shining eyes and couldn't help but be affected by her emotions. Even Ivan, who had been struggling for a long time, calmed down a lot.

"So one time, he came to my house with a strange friend. The person asked me if I still had an impression of him, and I said-"

Xiao Gong winked and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! You played with me and hugged me when you were a kid."

Then Xiao Gong puffed up his cheeks slightly and looked like an angry kitten: "The result! Koichi laughed loudly. He said this was his carpenter friend, but he looked older, but in fact he was only a few years older than me."

After saying this, Xiao Gong couldn't help but blush: "It made me blush all over and kept apologizing... Oh, that time was really embarrassing."

Just chatting like this, we soon returned to the Naganohara Fireworks Shop. Yonomiya skillfully came to the small door at the back: "Sakujiro."

Sakujiro quickly walked out of the house, and Xiaomiya handed him the prepared map: "I have solved the problem of the boat. I will mark the location on the map for you. It is recommended that you prepare dry food and water in advance. ...Just think of it as prepared."

Sakujiro responded, and finally lowered his head sadly: "I finally came back, I really don't want to escape again, and to break into a thunderstorm in the open sea with only a small boat... I'm afraid it's a disaster."

Hearing what he said, several people looked at each other: "But being caught by Tian Ling Fengxing will lead to a similar fate..."

Xiao Gong spread his hands: "I think they will search here sooner or later. Time is running out."

Sakujiro apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, if they really come, I will escape in advance and won't cause any trouble to your family."

Xiao Gong quickly comforted: "Don't think so, even if there is a problem, I can think of some ways to solve it."

Finally, he said uneasily: "But if you are really chased into a desperate situation by Tian Ling Feng Xing, you should run to the ship."

Sakujiro also nodded: "Well, I won't be caught by them...but..." Sakujiro covered his forehead: "Oh...this trip will be in vain in the end."

Paimon looked at his entangled look and couldn't help but ask: "You want to go back to Rice Wife so much. Is there anything you have to do?"

Sakujiro finally started talking: "In the past, I didn't like Inazuma very much, so I left here, but now that I think about it, leaving is just an evasion of responsibility."

So when Sakujiro realized this, he was always uneasy and kept thinking about the people and things he left behind in Inazuma.

Sakujiro stammered for a moment: "...Forget it, let's not say it. It's too late now anyway. I came back originally just to make up for my regrets, but I ended up like this."

Xiao Gong was also a little sad: "That's it."

Paimon looked at his two friends: "...Actually, if you talk to us, we might..."

Xiao Gong complained a little: "Really, it would be great if there was no national lockdown order."

Looking at Sakujiro who was still struggling, Xiaomiya took the arms of the two girls: "It's okay, we won't disturb you. We will try to help you buy some time before you make up your mind."

Speaking of this, Xiao Gong is still having a headache, and he is talking about Tianling Zongzhi. After all, if this Zhizhi does not cause trouble, according to Xiao Gong's popularity, this matter can still be solved smoothly.

Xiao Gong walked left and right, feeling a little headache, and suddenly thought of something: "Oh, by the way! Among the regular customers of the fireworks shop, there is an old couple. Their son is a religious practitioner in Tianyang Ling, so he seems to have some status."

Then Xiao Gong made a quick decision: "Let's go find them and see if we can be accommodating."

This frightened Sakujiro so much: "Will he be reported in turn?"

Xiao Gong waved his hands and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay. They are very good people. I know there is no problem."

After saying this, Xiaomiya continued to ask Sakujiro to go back and hide, and they went over to ask if they could come back soon.

Xiaogong pulled the two of them, followed by Ivan and walked forward quickly: "Let's go, time waits for no one."

Xiao Gong shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, there are fireworks, fireworks materials, and orders from so many people..."

Then Xiao Gong loudly called Dad several times, but found that Dad didn't respond at all.

Xiao Gong shook his head helplessly: "Hey, forget it, dad, I'll write you a note, and I'll leave the fireworks to you!"

Xiao Gong finished writing this note in a hurry. Paimeng looked at Xiao Gong who was walking in the front with some doubts: "Just now, why did you interrupt me?"

Xiao Gong shook his head: "What he wants is not answers, but time."

I can only say that it is indeed the Xiao Palace. As soon as I arrived at this small courtyard, I was pulled into the house by an elderly grandmother: "Isn't this the Xiao Palace? Come on, come on, come in and sit in the house."

At the same time, he did not forget the four people around Xiao Gong: "Are these your friends here?"

Xiao Gong nodded: "Yes, they are all travelers from afar. It is not easy for outsiders to come to Daozhu now."

The old man slowly walked out of the house: "Yes, the current situation is special, but since you are here, as locals, we must treat you well."

Xiao Gong nodded: "Yes, by the way, I also brought the fireworks you two ordered before."

The old man nodded and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you. I trouble your family every year. First it's your father, and now it's your turn."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but tease Xiaomiya: "I wonder if I can wait until the next successor of Naganohara Fireworks Store in my lifetime."

Xiaogong didn't mind such cryptic words: "No problem, you two are so strong now, so don't say unlucky words."

When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, my body is indeed not as good as before."

After all, they all come from farmers, and it is not difficult at all to do things like farming and fetching water, but now I can't help but feel pain in my back after doing even a little bit of work.

"I wanted to weed some weeds yesterday, but when I bent down, I couldn't straighten up." The old lady looked sad.

Hearing what she said, Xiao Gong smiled and patted his chest: "That's it, it doesn't matter, leave it to us!"

The old man stopped me quickly: “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. How can I let you work?”

Then the old man called a few people to sit down and rest: "I'll get some snacks and tea, and let's chat while we eat."

Xiao Gong shook his head: "It doesn't matter. I don't always come to help you with housework. I've been busy recently because of the fireworks display. I will still come here often in the future."

Paimon felt that for a group of people like him who often received commissions, helping with weeding was nothing more than a trivial matter.

The old lady couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, you guys are sensible, unlike my child who is already a grown-up and is always alone and never goes home."

The old lady was not polite, after all, Xiao Gong did as she said, and often came to see them: "Since you said so, I also pickled some radishes here, can you take it to Xiao Cong over there in the village? "

Xiao Gong nodded and agreed, and the tasks were clearly arranged. First we removed the weeds, and then delivered the pickled radishes.

The old lady nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for your help. Oh, I'm really sorry."

The old man set off quickly: "I'll take this time to make some tea and prepare some snacks."

The task of weeding was very simple. Ivan even pulled the grass cleanly without the three girls doing anything.

With the blessing of strength and speed, for Ivan, it took basically three minutes to complete the task, which shocked the old man who had just prepared the hot water and not had time to make tea.

The next step was to deliver pickled radishes. Xiao Cong was on the other side. Xiao Gong knew the location, so he took everyone there directly.

"Hello Uncle Cong, how are you doing lately?" Uncle Cong smiled, his voice a little weak: "Still the same as before, nothing has changed, you still look so lively."

Xiao Gong smiled sweetly: "Thanks to everyone, my business is getting better and better."

"The fireworks we sold to Liyue last time were well received. I guess there will be more orders in the future."

Uncle Cong was a little worried: "Then you have to work harder, and Mr. Ryunosuke is still busy?"

Before Xiaogong could reply, Uncle Cong said worriedly: "If you are really struggling, remember to call me for help."

Xiao Gong nodded: "No problem, you can solve the fireworks issue yourself."

Then Xiao Gong took out the pickled radish that Grandma Xiangli had prepared: "Yes, that's right, here are the pickled radish that Grandma Xiangli asked me to send to you."

Uncle Cong couldn't help but pat his head: "Hey, thank you so much. I wasn't used to eating salty radish before."

In the end, the family tasted Grandma Xiangli's cooking and couldn't forget it. The salted radish became a family habit.

Xiao Gong asked with concern: "Is the family okay?"

Speaking of this, Uncle Cong couldn't help but the helplessness in his eyes: "Okay, but isn't that how family members get angry occasionally?"

Uncle Cong doesn't care if there will be conflicts or quarrels. In his opinion, having relatives by his side all the time, even if there are conflicts, is better than never seeing each other.

Yingying felt a little thoughtful when she heard these words. She noticed something, and sure enough, Uncle Cong said: "Although the relationship between uncle and aunt is very good, the child never comes back, so it is quite lonely."

Xiao Gong shook his head: "It doesn't look like it, they seem to be used to this kind of life."

But at the same time, Xiao Gong felt that what Uncle Cong said made sense: "Then I'll come and see more in the future. At least I can have someone to chat with, so I won't be bored."

Uncle Cong nodded: "Okay, everyone in Kontian Village hopes you can come and see more."

Xiaogong was also very happy. At the same time, because all these things had been done, Xiaogong stretched and walked to the front: "The things are done, let's go back to talk to them about business."

The old lady nodded: "As expected of a young man, he does things quickly."

Xiaogong put his hands on his hips and showed the secret of his sweet mouth: "Young people have endless energy. Old people are well-informed and experienced. Each has its own strengths."

The old man couldn't help shaking his head and handed the snacks forward: "Speaking of which, this year will be exactly fifty years."

The old lady's voice was soft: "Yes, year after year goes by like this. In fact, there is no obvious feeling, but in the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed."

Paimon was a little confused: "Fifty years, is it some important date?"

The old man burst out laughing, his voice full of pride: "Then goblin, when this old woman chased me fifty years ago..."

As a result, he was immediately scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about in front of outsiders? It's obviously you who is chasing me like crazy, okay?"

The old man coughed twice: "I'll skip this part. In short, it was at the Naganohara Fireworks Festival in those years that I proposed to the old lady, and then we lived together."

Ying looked at the happy expressions of the two of them: "I'm so envious."

The old man smiled and said with some seriousness: "Actually, I didn't make up my mind at first. I approached Naganohara to make fireworks with a little hesitation."

But when the fireworks go up, I don’t know what to say at that time.

The old man couldn't help but recall: "There was a loud bang bang bang, and the fireworks lit up the sky. Looking at her profile, her eyes reflected the light of the fireworks, sparkling..."

The old man looked sideways at the old woman, the love in his tone seemed to be overflowing water.
