The silly dog, on the other hand, was nestling next to him and enjoying himself playing with his toys.

"I came back so early today, so I might as well cook a good meal myself!" Thinking of this, Naoki Nagayama immediately walked into the kitchen and took out the dry goods that had been refrigerated for a long time. "Huh? When did you buy the abalone?"

Looking at the bag of six-headed abalone and the shark fins next to it, Nagayama Naoki didn't recall when he bought it, but when he saw it today, it was you!

After washing and soaking, he put the pre-processed abalone and shark fin aside and waited. Naoki Nagayama didn't find anything more in the refrigerator, so he was going to the department store to replenish some supplies.

After putting on the protective cover and warning Nyaotaro, Nagayama Naoki went out directly.

The sun is setting in the west, but it is still hanging on in the sky. The sunlight has slowly turned into a golden and red color.

"I didn't even see the sunset. I failed this evening."

While complaining, Nagayama Naoki quickly walked to the vicinity of Aoyama's store. From a distance, he saw Aoyama Nobu busy in the small flower garden at his door.

He walked up and joked: "Mr. Qingshan, you are so laid-back every time I see you!"

"So it's Naoki, you kid!" Aoyama Nobu was very happy to see his friend coming. "Why did you come here in the afternoon? Do you have a day off today?"

"Yeah, let's be lazy," Nagayama Naoki said without blushing, "I was planning to go to the department store to buy some supplies."

"I see."

Just as Aoyama Nobu was about to say something, he heard Chiko Aoyama's voice suddenly coming from inside the store,

"Oji-san, I seem to hear Naoki-san's voice!"

As the store door opened, Chikako Aoyama walked out in school uniform. Naoki Nagayama smiled and said hello:

"Haha, yes, it is indeed me! Chikoko-chan is already out of school."

"It's really Naoki-san!" The high school student who saw Nagayama Naoki immediately showed a bright smile, "Because get out of class is over, I came to help grandpa clean up."

"You are so virtuous, but Chikoko-chan doesn't join any clubs?"

"Well, I joined a club called the Human Observation Group, but I'm taking a break today."

"Human Observation? What kind of society is that?" Nagayama Naoki asked curiously.

"It's about observing people's specific behaviors and then analyzing the reasons why they happen." When she said about her club, Chiko Aoyama started promoting it with excitement. She seemed to be really interested.

At this time, the old man Nobu Aoyama next to him saw his granddaughter chatting with Naoki Nagayama as soon as he came out. He tried to interrupt several times but couldn't, so he couldn't help but sigh that his granddaughter is too old to help others!

As he spoke, he glanced at Naoki Nagayama next to him. The setting sun cast a soft golden light on this handsome face. He looked like the hero from a TV series.

I really don’t blame my granddaughter either.

However, even so, in front of me as a grandfather, I should maintain a certain degree of reserve!

Aoyama Nobu said forcefully: "By the way, didn't Naoki-san say he was going to the department store to buy supplies?"

"Uh, yes, I'm going to buy some vegetables and fresh chicken." Naoki Nagayama replied.

"Then hurry up! If it's too late, the remaining vegetables will be defective!" Aoyama Shin said in a serious tone, "Good stalls are in short supply!"

"Is that so?" Nagayama Naoki noticed the old man's little entanglement and didn't take it to heart, "Then I can't talk anymore."

"Well, let's talk about it next time and choose the ingredients carefully!"

However, he did not expect that his granddaughter would speak at this time: "It is indeed difficult to have fresh ingredients in department stores at this time. Zhi Shusang, I will take you to a nearby store. The ingredients there are guaranteed to be fresh!

"

"Huh? Isn't this too much trouble?"

"Silly tape, I'm fine anyway!" Chiko Aoyama said to her grandfather resolutely, "Oji-san, I'll take Naoki-san and come back!"

Eh?!

Aoyama Nobu, who didn't know how to stop him, watched helplessly as his granddaughter ran away with Naoki Nagayama.

Nagayama Naoki smiled, and went to a small hidden store nearby with Chikoko next to him. Sure enough, they found very fresh vegetables and freshly killed live chickens.

Naturally, I chatted a lot with the lively little girl along the way, including interesting news about the current entertainment industry, the little girl’s life in high school, etc.

But at this time, Naoki Nagayama doesn't want to talk too much. After all, he already has a girlfriend, so he should abide by some "manly ethics", hahaha

When I came back, I passed by the Aoyama store, and after saying hello to the stern-faced old man Aoyama, I returned to Yamasakura-in.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he found that Mew Taro was circling the abalone soaking vessel, testing it with his paws from time to time.

"Nyaotaro, what are you doing!"
