"Mazhong-kun, please don't be polite. In the living room, Minori Qiandao warmly entertained the guests who came to the door, and the polite attitude was much more sincere than before.

Li Xuehao sat on the tatami mat with a cup of steaming black tea, and the low table in front of him was full of various pastries.

On the side, the second daughter-in-law of the Qiandao family, Kiko Chijima, and the third daughter-in-law, Shumi Chishima, are accompanied, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Qiandao Jiuluo, is also making other pastries in the kitchen.

Saeko Chishima also sat next to her, and she had regained a little ruddy after she was pale on the bed, and although she still looked a little unhealthy, she was in good spirits.

The little girl is wearing cute bear pajamas, her long black hair is softly draped over her shoulders, she seems to be very afraid of life, there are strangers present, she has not dared to look at people, and she shrinks next to her mother Chishima Shumi.

Listening to the cat Nanako is also a guest strictly speaking.,But because of the familiar relationship with the Qiandao family.,Naturally, she has the identity of half of the owner.。

"Saeko, thank you big brother. Qiandao Shumi stroked her daughter's head, for the teenager who woke her daughter, she had long lost her previous bad impression, and the rest was gratitude and guilt.

Saeko Chishima was very shy, blushing and glancing in a certain direction, her eyes immediately retracted, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "Big brother, thank you......" Maybe it was too shy, and after finishing speaking, she shrank into her mother's arms and didn't dare to look up again.

Li Xuehao smiled and didn't speak, and looked at Qiandao Saya who was standing on the side quietly, her expression was very pleased, as if she was very happy to see this happy and warm scene.

Li Xuehao couldn't help but think of what she had just promised her, in fact, with her "ferocity", she could have been embodied for people to see, but she obviously didn't estimate her own strength, and she hadn't even cultivated seriously before, after all, she relied on a certain "artifact" to increase her strength, so some "scary" small means didn't know how to use it at all.

Li Xuehao has no interest in the so-called "artifact", he is thinking about how to let Sendo Minori Chido meet her mother Sendo Saya without alarming others.

For him, it is really simple to let an ordinary person see the spirit body, and it is enough to "open the eyes of the sky", but without alarming others, he can only let Qiandao Minori see Qiandao Saya alone, then he must have the opportunity to be alone with Qiandao Minori, and this is the biggest problem.

Of course, it's a problem for him, but it's not so difficult for Nanako, who has half of the main identity.

Li Xuehao glanced at Nanako when he heard the cat, believing that with her intelligence, she would definitely be able to understand what he meant.

Sure enough, Nanako nodded imperceptibly, and after eating a pastry in her hand, she said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Grandma Minori, I remember that you have a collection of a national treasure of the last century by the clay artist Mr. Zhinian, can you let me take a look? Also, Koji also likes clay works, and wants to enjoy them." ”

Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this in this atmosphere, and it is not very polite, when Minori Qiandao heard that it was a young man who was kind to his family and wanted to see it, he naturally did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Young people nowadays rarely like these anymore, and it is my honor that you want to see my collection of works." ”

With that, she stood up and led the way in front. Li Xuehao, who got up with it, and Nanako, who listened to the cat, both followed.

The second and third daughters-in-law of the Qiandao family did not follow, the two stayed in the living room, although Saeko Qiandao was still shrunk in her mother's arms, her eyes were staring at a distant back, her eyes flickered slightly, and at this time her face did not have a little bit of the previous shyness on her face, and even brought a hint of playfulness and ridicule.

Following Qiandao Minori, Li Xuehao and Nanako came to a warehouse-like room, although the environment is a little simpler, but it is very clean, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is dusty, obviously someone cleans here every day.

After Minori Chishima entered, she was about to take out her collection, but she listened to Nanako and someone look at each other, and stopped her at the right time: "Grandma Shiri, please wait a minute." ”

"What?" Minori Chishima stopped and turned to look at the two of them.

"Grandma Silato, we have something very important for you to know. "No one else was present, and listening to Nanako the cat went straight to the point. As she said this, she glanced at Saya Chishima, who was standing aside at the moment as the three of them floated in.

Senari couldn't see Saya Chishima, but listening to Nanako's serious tone made her realize that the two of them were not here to see her collection, but to use this excuse to say something that might not be convenient for her to say in front of several daughters-in-law.

"Nanako, you can say it. ”

"Grandma Shiri, do you remember the black-and-white photo I just saw in the living room?" I heard that Nanako had obviously brewed a statement, and at the moment she was just organizing it to say.

Li Xuehao stood aside and didn't speak, listening to her performance.

Minori Qiandao frowned slightly and said, "I remember, Nanako, the person in the photo is my mother." She didn't understand what this picture of her mother had to do with it.

Listening to Nanako continued: "Actually, this time Koji and I will come to visit, and we are entrusted ......"

"Huh?" "Qiandao Minori couldn't help but be stunned, entrusted by someone?

"This person is the Sendo Saya in the photo... Grandma, that is, Grandma Shiri's mother. Listening to Nanako's tone, it's a little weird, and I guess even she herself finds it very tongue-twisting and hard to believe.

"Mom......" Minori Qianjima's brows furrowed even tighter, her mother died in an accident when she was five years old, more than half a century ago, how could she still ask someone else?" "Nanako, I hope you don't say such things again in the future, this time I can pretend not to hear it." ”

Although she almost forgot what her mother looked like because of the passage of time, she would never allow others to make fun of her mother.

Listening to the cat Nanako, she also knew that this kind of unbelievable words were hard to believe, and she glared at someone next to her who was "watching a good show", which means that now it's your turn to come out.

Li Xuehao coughed, looked at Minori Qiandao and said, "Ms. Qiandao, I heard that the cat seniors did not deceive you, it was indeed Ms. Qiandao Saya who asked us to come, and it was she who told us about Saeko's situation." ”

Even his own benefactor said such a thing, Qiandao Minori was slightly angry in her heart, but she didn't show it, how could she believe such a ridiculous thing? But the expression on her face stiffened: "Zhenzhongjun, can you give me an explanation?" means questioning, why make up such an impossible reason.

"Lady Qiandao, you won't believe what I say now, so I can only ask you to see it for yourself, and I hope you won't be too surprised. Li Xuehao raised his right hand and lightly touched her eyes, and a faint aura shot out from his fingertips and then divided into two parts and drilled into her eyes.

Minori Chishima felt an itch in her eyes, and couldn't help rubbing her eyes, and when she opened them, her eyes widened for a moment, because she saw that there was actually an outsider in the room.

It was a woman in a red OL dress, beautiful and familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

"Are you?" she asked in a trembling voice.

"Shiri. Seeing Minori Chishima pointing at herself, Saya Chishima was very excited, because it meant that her daughter could already see her.

"You are, you are ......" Hearing such a long-ago title as "Shiri", Chido Minori seemed to realize something, but he couldn't believe it was true.

Sendo Saya knew that everything was superfluous, and with a shake of her body, she saw that the fashionable skirt she was originally wearing on her body had changed into a simple dress full of the atmosphere of the thirties and forties of the last century in a blink of an eye, and the hairstyle on her head had also changed, just like a woman who had come out of that era.

Seeing this amazing scene happening in front of her eyes, Minori Qiandao's body shook suddenly, and her voice trembled even more: "Mom, Mom?" She finally knew why she felt familiar, because the woman in front of her was exactly the same as the mother in the black and white photo. She subconsciously ran over excitedly, wanting to hug this figure that only appeared in her sleep, but she hugged her empty and passed her hands through her body.

"Why, why?" Qiandao tears rained down.

"Because I'm dead, Shiri, but you don't have to be too upset, because I've always been there for you. Saya Chishima also wanted to hug her daughter, but she didn't know how to use her strength at all, so she also grabbed a gap and said with sadness.

"Mom, Mom, I miss you so much......" Minori Chishima is no longer the woman in her fifties who is the head of the family at this moment, but just a little girl who needs her mother's love.

"Listen to President Cat, it's time for us to leave. Next to him, Li Xuehao patted Nanako, who was secretly wiping the corners of his eyes, and the scene of the two mothers and daughters meeting sadly was really inappropriate for outsiders to be present.

"Hmm. Listening to the cat Nanako nodded, followed him out of the room, and closed the door with his hand.

The two did not go back to the living room, but walked to the door in tacit agreement and opened the door.

"Ah, I'm sorry......" The voice of apology sounded outside in unison, it was an apology that was about to do something but was suddenly frightened and nervous.

Li Xuehao looked intently and saw a pair of twin girls standing outside the door. In addition to looking exactly the same, the two little girls also wore the same elementary school uniforms, dark blue suits and knee-length skirts, revealing the same slender and round calves.

Both of them have long hair, one with a long hair shawl, and the other with a ponytail tied diagonally around the left ear, revealing a playful taste, but both are equally delicate and cute.

Judging from the frightened nervousness on the faces of the two, it seems that they just wanted to ring the doorbell, but before they could press it, they were startled by the sudden opening of the door.
