Uncle Kitagawa sat at the counter with a look of disappointment, raised his head and poured a glass of soju.

"I'm so sorry, I'll let you stay with me." Uncle Kitagawa sighed with a hint of apology, then looked at the wine glass in his hand, with a soft look, "I also know that my request is too much, but I'm very satisfied to be able to mess with me, the old man."

"It's okay, it's okay," Jiang Cheng replied quickly, with a wry smile on his face, "It's us who should say sorry. I'm sorry that I can't help with such things."

As he said that, Jiang Cheng gently tapped Kagura's head, who was still eating a lot, and whispered: "Hey, you apologize to me too!"

"It hurts!" Kagura put down the bowl and rubbed his head and complained, then looked at Uncle Kitagawa who was beside him with a reluctant look, "I'm sorry, uncle."

"Ah hahaha, no need, no need," Uncle Kitagawa smiled, "After all, it's uncle, I forced you to accept the commission in that way."

The mother-in-law, who was standing at the counter, who was always waiting and watching, suddenly said, "Hey, old man, so what's going on? Between you and your wife."

Jiang Cheng pinched the mouth of the cup and glanced at Uncle Beichuan with a slight glance.

"To be honest, I might just feel lonely..." Uncle Kiechuan smiled with some self-deprecating smile, and then slowly told the past, "That happened a long time ago. At that time, I was just an ordinary newspaperman. I was young, shy, and even ignorant of the world."

"One day, a beautiful little girl suddenly came to our company. She is so beautiful. Now I still feel incredible when I think about it. I don't even have the courage to look at her. She is so understanding, and her whole body emits a completely different light from the local buns like us."

"To be honest, I can't remember what the first time I talked to her is because I can't remember. The only thing I can remember is the laughter she made behind my bicycle and the sound of the harmonica she blew, the beautiful laughter like a silver bell and the song that couldn't call her name. Even now, I think it's the most beautiful sound in the world."

"It seems that she has done many stupid things to make her laugh, but she can't remember them all. All she can remember is, she covered her face and smiled, and her hand she reached out... The two of them got together in a confused manner, in the blessings of the people around her."

Uncle Kiechuan spoke unhappily and his words were filled with emotion.

"But an accident left us with the hope of being a mom and dad. But even so, the two of us supported us all the way, and more than thirty years have passed. Recently, we just retired from the company. Then somehow suddenly felt uneasy."

"Sometimes I wonder [Why is she with me now?] [Is she with me because she likes me?]"

As he said that, Uncle Kiechuan, whose face had already started to turn a little red, scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'm just letting you hear these indifferent complaints. What do I say when I'm so old? Am I a virgin? Ahhahaha..."

As she said that, Uncle Kiechuan glanced at the watch on his wrist, then got up from the spot, took out a banknote and placed it on the table and turned around: "She is almost ready to cook. Sorry, it's time to leave. Also, thank you, I'm patient and listen to the old man nagging for so long..."

Looking at Uncle Beichuan's somewhat lonely back, no one spoke.

However, just as Uncle Kitakawa walked to the door and opened the sliding door, Jiang Cheng suddenly stood up and said, "Wait, Uncle."

"What's wrong?" Uncle Kitagawa turned his head and asked.

"Kagura," Jiang Cheng looked at Kagura on the side, "Do you understand?"

"Understand!" Kagura stood up, responded and saluted. Then, he rushed directly outside the door and disappeared into the rising night...

...

Jiang Cheng, Toshi's mother-in-law and Kitagawa stood at the door of Toshi's shop, watching Kagura rushing towards her with sweaty faces carrying large bags and small shopping bags in her hands.

Jiang Cheng was so angry that he was so angry that he said: "Hey! Didn't he just need to buy that one?! Why are there so many big and small bags?! What did you buy!"

Kagura walked up to him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then placed the shopping bag on the ground and took out Jiang Cheng's empty wallet from his arms and put it in Jiang Cheng's hand.

"Your wallet."

"Why is it empty?!!"

"Because I happened to see the supermarket's vinegar Kumbu was discounting Aru, I could get 9.99% off if I bought enough 2,000 yuan." Kagurari explained with confidence.

"That's too much! There's no need to worry about that little discount! When will you eat so much jealous kumbu?!" Jiang Cheng said wildly with his eyes, "If this continues, your youth will be full of jealous kumbu!"

Kagura took out his nostrils without any concern and rubbed Jiang Cheng's clothes. Then he took out a very old-looking harmonica from the shopping bag beside him and handed it to Uncle Kitagawa.

"Didn't I tell you to buy a new one?!!" Jiang Cheng shouted.

"Because after buying jealous kombu, the money was no longer enough Aru." Kagura explained, "so it was all my uncle's fault."

"Give me a good time to stop! Hello!!"

Uncle Kitagawa, who was standing beside him, looked at the harmonica in his hand, and a hint of emotion appeared on his wrinkled face...

...

"I'm back."

Uncle Kiechuan opened his door and shouted at the same time.

After hearing her husband's voice, Mrs. Kitagawa brought out the meal from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.

"Sorry, I came back a little late today." Uncle Kitagawa took off his shoes, changed into slippers that had already been placed in the entrance hall, walked over and sat down at the dining table.

"Well, go wash your hands." Mrs. Kitagawa just replied slightly.

"Oh, I'll go right away." Uncle Kitakawa quickly got up and ran to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, after washing his hands, looking at the no longer young self in the mirror, Uncle Kiechuan couldn't help but smile, and then took out the old harmonica from his arms and looked at it. However, Uncle Kiechuan finally put the harmonica back in his arms.

...

After dinner, Mrs. Kitakawa packed up the dishes and walked into the bedroom, changed into her pajamas, lay down on the pavement tatami.

During the whole supper time, Uncle Kiechuan did not take out the piano and did not say anything.

After taking a shower, Uncle Kiechuan changed into his pajamas and took the harmonica, as if he had made some decision. However, after opening the bedroom door, looking at his wife lying on the tatami, who was standing sideways with her back to her as if she was asleep, Uncle Kiechuan hesitated again.

After a long silence, Uncle Kitagawa quietly took two steps back and gently closed the sliding door of the bedroom.

After putting the harmonica on the table, Uncle Kitagawa, wearing pajamas, gently opened the door and walked out...

Under the dim street lights, Uncle Beichuan walked slowly with his head down with a little disappointed look. His steps did not stop, and memories never stopped. The scenes of the past kept echoing in Uncle Beichuan's mind...

Before he knew it, Uncle Beichuan had already walked into the park not far from home. Perhaps he was a little tired, Uncle Beichuan came to the bench in the park and sat down.

Looking up, Uncle Kiechuan looked silently at the city in front of him, which was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar with lights. What is familiar is that he has lived and worked here for decades, but what is unfamiliar is that at some point, it turned out to be like this, completely different from the poverty and dilapidation in his memories.

Uncle Kiechuan sighed, then raised his head to look at the stars in the sky. Things that remained unchanged also exist, such as this starry sky. Uncle Kiechuan seemed to have found some comfort, and his expression gradually relieved...

But at this moment, footsteps came.

Mrs. Kitakawa, wearing pajamas, walked slowly, sat down next to Uncle Kitakawa, raised her head and looked at the night sky with her husband.

"Do you still remember here?" Mrs. Kitagawa asked suddenly.

"What?" Uncle Kitagawa looked at his wife's soft face.

"At some time before, you stood here and shouted at me [Like you!]" Mrs. Kitagawa smiled and looked at her husband, "Have you forgotten?"

Uncle Kitagawa lowered his head in a little disappointed state, with a little embarrassment on his face: "I'm sorry, I can't remember the trivial matters in the past."

Mrs. Kitagawa smiled: "But I haven't forgotten yet, no matter how long it has passed."

"Ah...is it..." Uncle Kiechuan still looked disappointed.

"Ah, I feel a little cold." As he said that, Mrs. Kitagawa leaned against her husband and leaned her head against her husband's shoulder.

"sorry…"

"Why do you want to apologize?"

"It's all because of my body that you can't be a mother..." Uncle Kiechuan's eyes dodged a little.

"Is it because of this reason that you have become so anxious recently?" Mrs. Kitagawa laughed out loud, "Are you a fool? Hahahaha..."

"Why?"

"I never thought about that," Mrs. Kitagawa explained with a smile. "Maybe it did, but it has gradually let it go later. Moreover, even if they have children, when they grow up and leave home, there will be only two of us left."

"I thought you were gradually becoming cold to me because of this..." Uncle Kiechuan said with some depression.

"Yeah, do you remember this?" Mrs. Kitagawa picked up the harmonica, then covered her mouth and smiled, "At that time, you were the only one who said that I played very well."

“This is…”

"Do you still have to listen to it? Although I have almost forgotten all the score."

Uncle Kiechuan nodded.

Then, Mrs. Kitagawa leaned against Uncle Kitagawa's shoulder and gently placed the harmonica on her lips with a little unfamiliar attitude...

The melodious harmonica sounded, and Uncle Kiechuan closed his eyes and listened quietly to this somewhat distant memory...

What the two of them didn't know was that in the grass not far behind them, two little heads were shaking constantly with the sound of the harmonica.

"Let's go, Kagura." Jiang Cheng reminded in a low voice, then tiptoed to stand up and quietly turned around and left.

"Oh." Kagura responded in a low voice and turned around and followed.

...

House of Everything.

Looking at Kagura who had just returned, Gintoki asked casually: "How is your commission?"

"Of course I'm done! Who do you think I'm?" Kagura said, patting his chest.

"Souga..." Gintoki obviously had no interest.

"But it was done together!" Kagura continued.

"Yo Xi! Win!" Shinbaji, who was standing beside him, instantly clenched his fists, "Yinsang! Get three hundred yuan!"

"Tsk!" Gintoki took out a coin from his arms and threw it to Shinbaji with an unhappy look on his face.

"Hey! Isn't the bet three hundred yuan?! Why is there only one coin?!" Xinbaji said dissatisfied, "And this is not even a coin! It's just a game coin, right?"

Gintoki chose to ignore it.

"So, Kagura is not yet the age to complete the commission alone." Shinbaji held the game coin and said complacently, "It's different from someone like me who can complete the commission alone!"

"Shut up! Four-eyed eyes! It's just four-eyed eyes!" Kagura hugged and snorted.

"Hey! It's too much!"

"It's so noisy! Your four eyes!" Kagura rushed forward.
