Chapter 1010 A letter home to Shota(2/2)
According to my father, before the end of World War II, this place was a very famous izakaya, which has a history of nearly a hundred years.
As for those photos, they were actually sent back from the battlefield by my great-grandfather, Mr. Kano Akira, and my grandfather’s other cousin, Mr. Kano Jiro. Unfortunately, they both died in the battle, and even their bones have not been found.”
"Are your grandfather, Mr. Shota, and his cousin, Mr. Ichiro, still alive?" Wei Ran asked a straightforward question that was not considered polite.
Wan Qiu secretly shook his head, and when translating, he took the initiative to add some seasonings to make the question less abrupt.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "They passed away one after another more than ten years ago. Now the people who run this izakaya are Mr. Shota and Mr. Ichiro's respective sons, that is, my father and my uncle
.”
As she said that, the girl quietly pointed to the bar. The man who looked to be in his thirties whispered, "That's my cousin. My uncle is his father. He will also be with our respective fathers."
After retirement, I will inherit this izakaya.”
After saying that, Kano Chinatsu pointed to the young man who had just arrived at the door to welcome guests, and introduced in a low voice, "That's my younger brother. He will take over this restaurant with my cousin in the future."
Izakaya.”
"What about you?" Wan Qiu asked subconsciously.
"Of course I want to build my own home..."
Kano Chinatsu also subconsciously gave the answer, and then her face turned red and she said slightly panicked, "Well, I will return to recruitment life in the future."
"So are your family Japanese or Palauans?" Wei Ran asked after Wan Qiu finished translating.
"Palau"
Kano Chinatsu paused, and then added as if to prove something or to distinguish something, "But I am currently studying at Nagasaki University. According to my grandfather, our hometown is in Nagasaki.
Unfortunately, the atomic bomb destroyed all memories."
"It's really a pity. This stupid guy is so beautiful. I'm a little angry. Two pills are not enough..."
After Wei Ran listened to Wan Qiu's translation, he blatantly recited a sentence in Chinese, but he didn't care whether the other party could understand it, let alone how hard his beautiful translator worked to hold back her smile.
Seeing the girl named Qianxia looking at him, Wan Qiu secretly clenched his fists and tried to hold back his smile, and translated on the spot, "Mr. Wei said that war is really cruel, and he praised your dance just now.
It looks very pleasing to the eye, and I asked you if you are a dance major."
"I'm actually a first-year student in the Department of Multicultural Sociology. The performance just now was just to practice for the orientation activities after returning to school. The small stage is usually used by my father and my uncle to perform comic performances for guests."
Kano Chinatsu quickly explained that she was obviously not confident in her performance, but she was looking forward to others' approval and suggestions. This was probably the reason why she took the initiative to send sushi and cakes.
"What is Mancai performance?"
Wei Ran asked curiously after Wan Qiu finished translating.
"A stage comedy similar to our Chinese cross talk," Wan Qiu explained.
"Comedy..."
Wei Ran smacked his lips, and began to expect more and more in his heart. When the truth comes to light, how lively will this family-style izakaya be, and whether there will be comedy performances on that stage.
"Mr. Wei, do you want to come and see me tonight?"
Late Qiu took the initiative to send out an invitation, "Koror is not that big, our hotel is very close to here, and the security in Palau is pretty good, so you won't encounter any danger even if you go out at night."
“It’s not necessary for now”
Wei Ran waved his hand, "Let's take a rest today. I need to get over the jet lag."
As a translator and guide, Wan Qiu naturally had no objection, and the girl named Kano Qianxia did not leave. Instead, she brought a glass of cold beer and a few side dishes to accompany their only table of guests.
After having a drink, I tried to get some advice from the two of them about the dance she just performed.
Wei Ran also used Wan Qiu's translator to learn some seemingly insignificant trivia from this girl's mouth.
For example, the mother of this mixed-race girl was actually French, but she chose to divorce shortly after giving birth to her and left here and her.
Not long after her father divorced, he quickly married another woman who also had the same bloodline and gave birth to her a younger brother - the little Baga who just welcomed the guests at the door.
For example, whether she, her father, stepmother, even her half-brother, or her uncle's family, they have always wanted to immigrate back to China for recruitment, but have been unable to do so due to various reasons.
For another example, although this girl was clearly told by her father that women were not qualified to inherit the store, she was also the only child in their family in several generations to recruit local students to study.
This also made her cousin and half-brother a little undisguisedly jealous of her. Of course, the last point was noticed by Wei Ran himself, who nominally did not understand Japanese.
After all, which brother or younger brother would taunt their sister or sister in front of the guests, saying that she must want to marry a rich diner - even if the guest doesn't seem to listen at all
Understand Japanese.
However, considering the family tradition of these young people’s grandfathers being so anxious, this little conflict between the young people seems not worth mentioning at all.
After eating and drinking, and deliberately giving this optimistic and cheerful girl a hundred dollars as a tip for chatting, Wei Ran, who pretended to be drunk, greeted Wan Qiu and left the izakaya, which was gradually becoming lively.
"Why don't we take a look at the talent show of the two owners of this izakaya?" Wan Qiu asked while putting on her shoes, "Chinatsu said the show will start in half an hour at most."
"Forget it, I can't understand Japanese. If I have the time, I might as well go back and listen to cross talk."
As Wei Ran said this, he took off the socks he wore when he came in and threw them into the trash can. He put on his shoes and was the first to walk out of the door under the warm bow of the girl who was extremely happy for getting a huge tip.
After getting into the car that had been waiting outside, Wan Qiu asked tentatively before closing the door for Wei Ran, "Mr. Wei, do you need me to help you ask Qian Xia to go shopping at the beach in the evening? I guess she won't refuse.
of."

"It's a good thing you're not Mr. Second Class," Wan Qiu teased a little before helping to close the car door.
After sitting in the car for less than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a particularly beautiful-looking hotel.
Under the leadership of Wan Qiu, Wei Ran even skipped registration procedures and moved into a spacious suite.
"Mr. Wei, where do you plan to go shopping tomorrow?"
After helping Wei Ran carry his luggage into the room, Wan Qiu asked, "Or do you need me to give you some recommendations?"
"Let's go to Peleliu first. I came here just for the ruins of the Battle of Peleliu Island."
Wei Ran thought for a while and continued, "In addition, I also want to go diving. To be honest, I am a diving enthusiast, and I especially like beautiful coral reefs, so if you can arrange a few diving spots outside of the regular tourist attractions, you can
It couldn’t be better.”
"These are no problem." Wan Qiu paused, "Do you have any other requests?"
"Try not to provide me with seafood and raw food these days. I am allergic to seafood and my gastrointestinal condition is not good."
Wei Ran said apologetically, "Also, I need to get rid of the jet lag, so I won't have breakfast or go out for activities tomorrow."
"I've memorized all of this"
While putting away her phone, Wan Qiu made a promise, "Before lunch tomorrow, I will compile a list of less visited diving destinations, and you can personally select the sea areas you are interested in. In addition, we will go to Peleliu early the day after tomorrow.
Do you think it’s okay to visit the island?”
"Okay," Wei Ran paused and said, "In addition, help me prepare a set of diving equipment, that's all."
"Okay Mr. Wei, then I won't disturb your rest." After Wan Qiu finished speaking, he helped Wei Ran close the door from the outside.
After waiting for a moment, Wei Ran immediately carefully inspected this room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a view of the sea.
After confirming that everything was normal, he opened his suitcase, changed into a set of clothes, and then took out his makeup bag and wig. After dressing up, he patiently waited until around eight o'clock in the evening, then quietly left the hotel and returned to the hotel.
