    "This is it. How do you feel about this room?" Uesugi Maki took Aoba to a small courtyard with a complex corridor and a self-contained system not far away, and pointed to one of the rooms.  "It looks good, at least the environment is very good." Qingye looked at the house located in the small courtyard and nodded. There were various flowers in the courtyard. Although it seemed a bit messy due to the lack of people to take care of it, there were all kinds of flowers and plants.  Still lush and prosperous.  "Next door is the room I used when I lived here, but I haven't been back for a long time. I guess the room has been dirty for a long time and needs to be cleaned." Uesugi Maki said as she walked to the door of her room.  Opened the door.  As expected, although the items in the room were complete, they were filled with dust. I wanted to clean them out, but I was quite busy this day.  And Aoba also came to his house and opened the door. He saw that the room was no different from Uesugi Maki's room. The difference was that although Aoba's room was also fully furnished, it was not.  There were no daily necessities, and the room looked dirtier than Uesugi Maki's room.  "This room is really dirty. No one has lived in it for a long time, right?" Qingye looked at his room, shook his head slowly and said.  "Of course, I still come back to stay in my room for a few days every year. I guess no one has lived in your room for more than ten years! Please clean it up today!" Maki Uesugi said with a sense of gloating.  .  "Okay, but if you want to clean, you must first have tools!" Qingye looked at the two of them who had nothing on hand at this moment, and was a little confused as to how to start.  "We can ask Miss Sato for the tools later, but first we should go see grandpa now." Uesugi Maki had a heavy look on her face when she mentioned grandpa, as if there was something particularly awkward about meeting grandpa.  Same thing.  "What? Is grandpa very fierce?" Aoye looked at Uesugi Maki and asked in confusion.  "Not too fierce, but very serious. It looks like everyone owes him money." Uesugi Maki complained dissatisfiedly.  But she definitely wouldn't dare to say this in front of her grandfather.  "Okay, let's go. I went to see grandpa and I have to come back quickly to clean up the house. I don't want to rest in a dirty house at night." Qingye smiled.  Uesugi Maki said urging her.  "Yeah, I don't want to sleep in a dirty house either! Let's go find grandpa." Uesugi Maki's face dropped, and she led Aoba helplessly out of the yard, and walked along the complicated  cloister.  Went to another courtyard.  So the two of them soon came to the yard they had seen so far. It was the best-kept yard. Not only were the flowers and plants arranged in an orderly manner, but there was also a gurgling stream flowing through the yard. There were also flowers in the stream.  There are several artificially erected stones. The water flows over the stones, flows into the water purification bowl, overflows from the purification bowl, and rejoins the stream.  "Is this here?" Qingye looked at the exquisite yard and said thoughtfully.  "That's right. This is it. Grandpa and Dad live here. Over there is Grandpa's room! And the yard next door is where Miss Sato usually rests. But in the evening, Miss Sato will go back to the village after cooking dinner.  , I don¡¯t live here, we will go there to ask Miss Sato for some cleaning tools later,¡± Uesugi Maki said as she continued to walk towards the small courtyard with Aoba.  Soon the two of them saw an old man sitting on the wooden floor under the eaves of the open Japanese sliding door, quietly drinking tea.  The old man looked like a stoic person at first glance. The deep wrinkles on his face and the ever-tightening brows gave him an air of calmness and self-importance.  The moment Uesugi Maki saw the old man.  The originally somewhat lazy expression changed in an instant, becoming serious and dignified. The change of expression was so fast that Aoba was unexpected.  "Grandpa, I brought brother Aoba." Uesugi Maki stood in front of the old man, bowed slightly and said like a Yamato Nadeshiko.  "Qingye? Well, just come." The old man raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Qingye, nodded.  "Grandpa, hello." Qingye naturally treated the old man with the courtesy of a junior meeting an elder, even though there was a conflict between his mother and the old man in front of him.  It was even the old man in front of him who kicked his mother out of the house, but after all, the old man in front of him was Aoba's grandfather, which was a fate that Aoba couldn't break.  Qingye doesn¡¯t know the specific reason for the conflict between his parents and his grandfather, but he still needs basic courtesy when facing his elders.  Even if it is each otherIf you want to see someone, just keep a respectful distance. There is no need to make a fuss look ugly on the surface.  Not to mention that the old man in front of me is also an elder after all.  "How have you been this year?" After a moment of silence, the old man named Yuichiro Uesugi spoke to Aoba for the first time.  "I'm fine, people miss me." Aoba replied with impeccable etiquette.  "That's good, you must be tired after taking the train for so long! You should go back and rest first. If you have anything to do, wait for two days before talking about it." As soon as Uesugi Yuichiro finished speaking, he continued to pick up the teacup and drank the tea. Aoba and  Uesugi Maki completely understood what the old man meant. He was serving tea to see off the guests.  So after Aoba and Uesugi Maki said goodbye to the old man respectively, they left the yard.  In this way, the meeting between Qingye and his grandfather ended. This was the first meeting between the two. It was the first time that Qingye saw his grandfather since he was born.  But it seemed as calm as water, no one had any big mood swings, as if they were just strangers with no relationship.  Comparatively, Aoba feels that Uncle Uesugi Ginji and sister Uesugi Maki in front of him make Aoye feel more like they are family members.  ??In other words, Uesugi Ginji and Uesugi Maki are more civilians, because the Uesugi family has already begun to decline when they were born, especially in Uesugi Maki's generation, it has completely declined!  And Yuichiro Uesugi, who grew up in a prosperous big family since childhood, is still a feudal paternalistic figure of a big family. Even because of the decline of the Uesugi family, he has no prestige as a parent, and even his children don't listen to him.  words.  ¡°But I still can¡¯t change my deep-rooted attitude of people from a large feudal family who take family affection relatively lightly and are unwilling to show it.  "Huh. How about it? Is it depressing to stay there? If it weren't for my father still being here, I really wouldn't want to come back even once. I really don't understand how those people from the big families in the past could survive here.  Everyone looks like they can¡¯t even smile, so aren¡¯t they afraid of suffocating themselves to death?¡± Uesugi Maki just took Aoba out of Uesugi Yuichiro¡¯s sight, making sure that the other party wouldn¡¯t hear what she said, and immediately started complaining.  .  At the same time, the whole body has returned to its lazy look.  "Okay, okay, anyway, we just need to wait for the temple ceremony to end. We can go back. Speaking of which, where are we going? Aren't we going to find Miss Sato?" Aoye looked at the direction Uesugi Maki was leading the way and asked in confusion.  .  Because the direction the two of them were walking in now was completely different from the room in the courtyard where Miss Sato was pointed out by Uesugi Maki.  "We were in a hurry to leave grandpa just now, so we took a sidetrack, so now we only have two options. One is to go around here and make a big circle to Miss Sato's yard! The other option is to go back along the original road.  Passing by Grandpa again, how do you choose to go to Miss Sato by another way?" Uesugi Maki stopped.  He turned to look at Aoba and asked.  "Well, I choose to go in a big circle!" Qingye said decisively.  In this way, both of them chose the path that would rather go in a big circle than pass by Uesugi Yuichiro once.  "Wise choice, let's go! Don't worry, it won't be a long detour." Uesugi Maki comforted Aoba.  So the two guys, who neither wanted to appear in front of Yuichiro Uesugi, chose to take a long way out rather than appear in front of each other.  But what¡¯s more worth complaining about is that Maki Uesugi was able to walk out nervously when meeting her grandfather, which left Aoba speechless, of course.  Aoba will not tell this, he still has to save this face for Uesugi Maki.  In this way, the two of them circled around the small courtyard where Yuichiro Uesugi was, and finally came to the courtyard where Miss Sato was and walked in.  "Ms. Sato, we are here." She just walked into the yard.  Uesugi Maki suddenly returned to her lively and cheerful nature. She no longer lost the seriousness and dignity she had shown before in front of Yuichiro Uesugi, shouting in the yard.  "Is it Maki-chan? Welcome back." Then along with the gentle voice coming from the yard, a graceful figure wearing a kimono walking appeared in front of the two of them, slowly walking out of the yard  Zhong walked towards the two of them.  "Ms. Sato. I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so beautiful!" Uesugi Maki took two steps and threw herself into the arms of Miss Sato and said with a smile.  "Maki-chan is obviously an adult, but she still acts like a child!" Miss Sato looked at Uesugi Maki who was hugging her and rubbing against her, with a look of helplessness but a hint ofSaid some dotingly.  "How could it be? In front of Miss Sato, I will always be a child!" Uesugi Maki said without any embarrassment.  "Okay, okay, Maki-chan, why don't you introduce me quickly, is this Maki-chan's boyfriend?" Miss Sato patted Uesugi Maki's back and looked at Aoba curiously.  "Ms. Sato guessed wrong this time. He is my aunt's child, Aoba's younger brother!" Uesugi Maki smiled and introduced Aoba Road to Miss Sato.  "Hey? Is it Miss's child? I really didn't expect that it has grown so big? It's great." Miss Sato looked at Aoba blankly, but there were tears in her eyes.  "This is our first meeting. Hello, Miss Sato. Are you an acquaintance of my mother?" Aoba looked at Miss Sato and asked with some confusion.  "Yes, the young lady and I grew up together. Speaking of which, I have never seen the young lady since she was kicked out of the house. I really didn't expect that the Qingye-kun that the young lady mentioned in the letter was actually  He has grown up so much and is now a handsome young man!" Miss Sato said with emotion.  "Thank you, Miss Sato, for still thinking of your mother. I really appreciate it." Aoba looked at Miss Sato's excited look and said with the same emotion.  "Ever since Miss's accident happened, I have been very uneasy and worried about what you would do alone. But now that I see you are healthy, I feel relieved." Miss Sato looked at Aoba up and down and said as if she was finally relieved.  .  "I'm sorry for you." Faced with Miss Sato's concern, Aoba said with a smile.  "Okay Miss Sato, do you have anything else to say to Brother Aoba? There will be plenty of time in the next few days. Brother Aoba will stay here for a few days anyway, but we are not here to chat with you now.  I'm here to borrow cleaning tools. My room and brother Aoba's room will be completely uninhabitable if they are not cleaned!" Uesugi Maki frowned when she thought about the appearance of her room.  "Cleaning the room? Of course it's no problem. Come with me and I'll take you to get the tools!" Miss Sato said with a smile.  "Then please excuse me, Miss Sato." Aoba thanked her.  "You're welcome Aoba-kun, come with me!" Miss Sato smiled at Aoba again, turned around and led the two of them towards the yard where she usually worked.  ¡°This is not only the room where Miss Sato rests between work, but also the most important kitchen, where Miss Sato usually prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner for everyone.  Of course, it is not the kitchen that Miss Sato is taking the two of them to at this moment, but a warehouse next to the kitchen, where cleaning tools and the like are stored.  "Okay, here are the cleaning tools. Just pick the ones you like and take them." Miss Sato said as she also stepped forward to select some cleaning tools. She didn't know what she was going to do.  And soon Aoba and Uesugi Maki found the cleaning tools they wanted.  Ms. Sato then left the warehouse with a set of cleaning tools, Aoba and Uesugi Maki.  But at the last moment when she walked out of the warehouse, Miss Sato said to Aoye, "Just put down Aoba-kun's tools. There is no need to take them. I will help you clean the room." "Huh?" Aoye suddenly said  and Uesugi Maki were stunned.  (~^~)
