The man from Wugeng's family is indeed reliable

"Dad is sleeping in the bedroom, and Mom is reading a story to Juxi in her room."

"Is that so?" Hiroshi nodded, looking at Hinata who looked unwilling, "Hinata, aren't you going to play games today?"

"I have to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."

Although she was a little reluctant, Hinata was still very sensible and helped her sister with the housework. Hiroshi looked at the most lively of the three sisters and smiled and rubbed her hair.

"Is that so? Then I'll help you. Let's go play."

"Really?" There was a glint of joy in her eyes, and then she seemed to remember something and shrank her neck again, secretly glancing at Liuli who was next to Haoshu.

"Since your brother asked you to rest, then go ahead. You won't be playing for too long before we start eating the New Year's Eve dinner."

Liuli felt a little helpless. Hiroshi was good in every way except that he doted on his younger sisters too much. Tamaki had a similar personality to her and was very well-behaved, but Hinata always relied on Hiroshi's doting to indulge in games. Although she seemed to be a good girl at school, she became decadent as soon as she got home.

Although the whole family has good grades due to genetic problems, Ruri is deeply worried about Hinata's performance.

"Yeah! Bro, I love you the most."

Hinata cheered, threw herself on Hiroki and bit his face.

"Wow, flour, flour. At least wash your hands."

"Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm going to play."

Hinata jumped up excitedly and skipped back to her room.

Looking at her back, Liuli sighed.

"Brother, you spoil them too much. If this continues, Hinata will become a dried-up girl."

Haoshu stretched out his hand to scoop up some water, ran it along the edge of the dumpling wrapper, scooped up a spoonful of fish filling, lowered his head and smiled faintly.

"You are my sisters. If I don't spoil you, who else should I spoil?"

"Well"

Liuli was unable to refute. It was natural for a brother to pamper his sister. I just pamper you. This is a kind of pride that I want the whole world to know.

The Kasugano family is probably the best at this. Isn't it said on the streets that there are sisters who hate each other but cannot become sisters?

Hiroshi doesn't think it matters. Ruri, Hinata and Tama each have their own strengths. They don't even have a younger sister, but I have three, hehe.

"What else are you cooking tonight?"

"I've already cooked a pot of abalone on the stove. The Kobe beef my brother ordered by mail arrived this morning. I've also got a lot of seafood already prepared and just need to blanch it later."

"The beef has arrived. Would you like to marinate it in red wine?"

"Well, after all, my brother gave the order, and I've prepared the drinks, juice for my sister and wine for my parents."

"Kuchikan sake?"

"What is that? It's sweet wine, a kind of rice wine produced by the shrine we're going to later. My parents may not let us drink it at home, but we can secretly try some when we go out to play together later. The shrine maiden will come and give it to us."

"Eh? Really? Just hope Liuli doesn't get drunk by then."

"How is that possible? I'm someone who wants to enjoy the New Year atmosphere. How could I be so careless? I'll just try a little bit when the time comes. Huh. Stop talking so much and wrap it quickly. We'll have dinner at 5:30."

"Hi, Mr. Chef."

Like previous New Year’s Eve dinners, tonight’s theme is an all-meat feast.

There are all kinds of poultry, livestock and aquatic products. Hiroshi and Liuli have used their culinary skills to the best of their ability to present the best taste of the highest quality ingredients, allowing the family to feast on the food while feeling the joy of having their work recognized.

"It's really reassuring to have Liuli around."

Hiroshi looked at the capable Liuli beside him and felt that he had become more reliable than his brother without realizing it, except that he was too shy.

Liuli's cheeks flushed at Haoshu's casual compliment, and she lowered her head and skillfully busied herself with the work in her hands, muttering.

"Because I'm looking forward to my date with my brother."

"Eh, a date?"

"We've already agreed to go to the temple fair tonight, or in other words, a date. Brother, you should be more flexible in this regard."

Liuli rolled her eyes and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"This is something most people wouldn't guess."

"Brother, you are not an ordinary person."

Most people wouldn't do anything to their own sister.

"The nearby Heduo shops will also be here. This year's temple fair is very lively. I heard that for the first time this year, several Western pastry shops have been invited to come and make some small cakes."

"Don't eat too much then."

"Well, my brother kept arguing with me today!"

"Well, because Liuli is so cute when she's angry, I can't help but tease you a little. Well, I'm almost done wrapping it. Let's go into the kitchen and clean up those half-finished products so we can call them down to eat."

"Don't change the subject, you gentleman!"

"Liuli, work hard, I'm leaving first."

"Wow, so angry!"

I'd like to ask here, for my next new book, I'd like to pick either Love Random Link or Blow It! Euphonium. I feel like no one has written about it and anyone likes it, OVO? If not, I'll think about it again.

Chapter 185 Gogen Hiroki and the Witty Drunk Cat

"Wow, I'm so full."

Hiroshi patted his belly with a look of satisfaction, strolled on the avenue, squinted his eyes and muttered happily.

"Hurry up, brother. If we walk so slowly to the temple fair, we won't have much time to play. Mom told us to go back early to celebrate the New Year. If we go back late, we will definitely be scolded."

Liuli hugged Haoshu's arm and pulled it forward with a look of excitement on her face.

The sky gradually darkened, and Haoshu was dragged out by Liuli just after finishing his meal. The deserted streets, which were bustling at the beginning, became crowded with people.

"Wow, there are so many people."

Liuli pulled Haoshu and trotted all the way to the temple fair. The originally dark sky was dotted with lights from small stalls, like stars, forming a long dragon of lights.

As an annual large-scale event in Chiba, and it also attracts many young people to gather here to play during the Spring Festival, it is no wonder that Liuli made such an exclamation.

"So, should we go to the shrine first or go to the stalls?"

Hiroshi tilted his head to seek Liuli's opinion.

"Let's go to the shrine first, then we can take our time to stroll around."

"Well, let's go to the shrine first."

With its vermilion paint and wooden frame structure, Katori Jingu Shrine is the head shrine of more than 400 shrines in Japan. It is also the largest in Chiba Prefecture. The temple fairs held in front of the shrine are also very large in scale. Many people from surrounding counties, towns, and cities come here to visit, which naturally adds a bit of liveliness to the shrine.

While walking through such a dense crowd, Haoshu consciously held Liuli's small hand tightly, and the warmth of his palms was passed to each other, making people feel warm in their hearts.

Thanks to the good order, the two lined up and slowly moved with the crowd and finally arrived in front of the shrine.

"Then please put your hands together and pray."

The wizard standing next to the cash box spoke softly, and Hiroshi couldn't help but sigh at the good service attitude of the staff here.

It's no wonder. Just now, Hiroshi saw a pious old woman take out a few Fukuzawa Yukichi notes from her purse and stuff them in. This kind of activity where one can earn Hiroshi's annual royalties in one night just by talking, even if Hiroshi were to do it, he would have a smile on his face.

The charm of money has to be mentioned.

In his previous life, Hiroshi was a young man who grew up under the red flag and was a complete atheist. Now, he even encountered such a ridiculous thing as reincarnation. The Three Pure Ones, the two Buddhas above, and the ancestor Hongjun in front, who have experienced seventeen chaotic eras, are so excited. Bless me!

No, it’s to wish everyone peace and safety in the new year.

Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Amitabha, forever seventeen years old.

After the prayer ended, Hiroshi glanced at Liuli who was still praying, and stood silently by waiting.

"Brother, I'm ready, let's go."

"Well, what wish did Liuli make?"

"Are you stupid? Wishful thinking won't work if you just say it."

"Oh, I see. Then I won't tell you my wish."

"Who wants that kind of thing? Hurry up and move to the side so you don't block the people queuing up to pray behind you."

While the two were joking with each other, a graceful figure walked over with a tray.

"Want something to drink?"

What caught my eye was a shrine maiden dressed in red and white. Her long black hair was tied up in a red bun and hung down behind her head. Although she was not beautiful, she looked very pretty.

She walked up with a tray in her hand and asked with a smile on her face.

"Ah, thank you for your help."

"Okay, both of you, right?"

The girl nodded, picked up two paper cups from the tray and handed them to Hiroshi and Liuli, then smiled, bowed slightly, and turned to walk towards the other guests.

"Is this the shrine maiden?"

"Well, that's why those guys in the shopping district chose this place. The shrine maiden is famous. Oh, and there's this."

Liuli raised the paper cup in her hand and gestured.

"This is the sweet wine I was talking about. It's the rice wine brewed by the shrine here. Doesn't shrine sweet wine sound great?"

"Tsk, it's not Kuchikamizake. And it's not made by a pretty miko from the countryside."

"Where does your obsession with Kuchikamizak come from? And how does it have anything to do with shrine maidens?"

"I'm telling you, I heard that if you drink that stuff, you can swap bodies with a pretty girl. It's a great feeling, a boy's soul driving a girl's body to take a bath and do all sorts of things. Why does it feel so familiar to me?"

"Ah, I get it. It's probably from one of your books again, idiot brother. Don't bring secondary things into reality."

Liuli rolled her eyes. Ever since he started writing novels, his nonsensical antics have become a trait of his. "I'm used to it," she muttered, lowering her head to take a sip.

"Hiss, so hot, so sweet, and tastes pretty good."

"Come on, brother, drink this to cheer yourself up. You can't be listless when you have fun later. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Hmm, sweet wine?" Hiroshi nodded, stopped talking nonsense, took a sip and his eyes lit up.

“It’s a little weird, but it tastes good.”

"That's natural."

Liuli seemed to have a tongue-tied expression, and she was a little unsteady on her feet, her face flushed as she leaned against Haoshu.

Uh, that seems right. Yeah, I got drunk on the sweet wine.

The corner of Haoshu's mouth twitched, and he quickly looked at the cup in her hand. Sure enough, the sweet wine in the cup was almost empty.

"Hey, hey, hey, Liuli. Didn't we agree to just taste a little bit? Why did you drink so much? Aren't you drunk?"

"No, I'm perfectly normal."

Liuli, who was leaning in Haoshu's arms, said this in a daze, and then she burped heavily, her eyes opening and closing as if she was about to fall asleep.

This is so embarrassing, but this is the first time I’ve seen my sister drunk. Isn’t she cute?

"Hey, hey, hey, don't sleep. New Year's Day is coming soon. There will be a lot of activities, like New Year's greetings, shuttlecock, blindfolded portrait making, etc. Didn't you tell me you were looking forward to it?"

"It's New Year's Day soon? It's just another year older."

Liuli's body became increasingly limp. The cup in her hand had been quickly snatched away by Haoshu, and the sweet wine inside was all drunk in accordance with the principle of not wasting it. You said indirect kiss?

Can a brother kiss his sister? That's a testimony of kinship, a mark of friendship, a badge of affection!

Looking at the drunk Liuli, Haoshu felt a little headache. How could he wake up a child at this time of year? It seemed that he had no choice but to use his trump card.

"Ruri, there's some New Year's money. I'll give it to you as soon as you wake up. Lots of Fukuzawa Yukichi."

When Hiroshi was little, whenever he felt sleepy while staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, his grandmother would tempt him like this, but she didn't use Fukuzawa Yukichi, but Steel G, which was really a sad story.

I lost my integrity for a dollar.

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing at all. Isn't it enough to just have a brother?"

Liuli's voice became lower and lower, and slowly fell silent.

This answer can be interpreted as even her brother is hers, and his money is naturally her money, so why does she need New Year's money? Wouldn't it be better to just ask for a brother to give her New Year's money?
