Chapter 511: Supporting Mr. Kawaguchi's Love
Since they had agreed in advance to have a barbecue party together in the evening, Hiroshi also decided to bring Mr. Kawaguchi along, so Mingxu and the others prepared everything in the yard before they came. Of course, Hiroshi said he would help bring back some of the meat when he got home from get off work.
So everyone just prepared some vegetables and the like, but less meat.
Shin-chan excitedly called his beloved sister Nanako and invited her to come over, but Nanako had something to do and had to decline.
Shin-chan was still a little disappointed, but he quickly recovered. After all, Nanako said that she would invite Shin-chan and the others to have a barbecue together next time she had the chance.
When they were almost ready, Guangzhi's voice was heard at the door.
"I am back."
"Dad, welcome home." Mingxu replied casually and put the pot on the table.
"Really, you are already ready." Guangzhi said with a smile when he saw the situation on the table.
"Hello, sorry to bother you." Kawaguchi said a little awkwardly.
"Welcome Mr. Kawaguchi."
"Welcome to Fig~"
"welcome."
"Hi, Xiaoxu, Xiaoxin, long time no see." Kawaguchi said with a smile when he saw the two children.
"Kawaguchi, you're here too." Shin-chan looked at him and said casually.
"Xiao Xin, don't be rude." Mingxu patted him on the shoulder.
"It's Xiaoxin, don't learn from me. Don't call people like that." Guangzhi also criticized.
"It's okay, it smells so good." Kawaguchi smiled as he looked at the dishes prepared by Misae on the table.
"Mr. Kawaguchi, don't be polite. Eat as much as you can." Meisai said with a smile.
"That's really embarrassing."
"Well, huh? Wait, husband, where are the things I asked you to bring back? I remember you said you would bring them when you come back." Misaya asked in confusion when she found that Guangzhi's hands were empty.
"Dad, have you forgotten again?" Mingxu looked at their empty hands in confusion.
"Oh, this is bad. We can't have a barbecue party without meat." Kawaguchi panicked. How could the senior forget to tell him? He could have just told him earlier and bought it himself...
"I'll buy it right now." Kawaguchi turned around and was about to go out.
"It's okay, it's okay. No need. It's okay." Guangzhi saw this and hurriedly pulled him back. Then he looked at everyone and smiled, "Actually, I'm ready. I'll be here soon."
"Will be here soon?"
"What's going on?"
"Dad, you invited other people to come too, right?" Mingxu turned around and saw a figure walking outside, raised his eyebrows and asked.
"How do you know?" Guangzhi was stunned.
"Here." Mingxu pointed at the figure outside who was almost at the door: "Isn't that obvious?"
"Ah? You're here. Miss Yumi, this way." Hiroshi was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw Yumi, and shouted to her.
"Ah? Miss Yumi?" Kawaguchi was really stunned. Why was she here too?
"Hello. Sorry to bother you." Yumi smiled at everyone, holding the meat to be used this time, and it seemed that there were some vegetables and fruits, a big bag.
"Welcome, Uncle Kawaguchi, please go and help me get the things." Mingxu said politely, then touched Kawaguchi.
"Ah?! Oh, yes, let me help you get it." Kawaguchi was stunned for a moment, then hurried over to help get the things and put them on the table.
"Ms. Yumi~" Shin-chan was also happy to see the beautiful older sister.
"Welcome, husband, you secretly invited Yumi, so that's how it is." Meiya said with a smile: "You also bought so many things."
"It's nothing. In addition to meat, I also bought some fruits and vegetables. They looked very fresh, so I bought them together." Yumi said with a smile.
"Long time no see, Miss Yumi~" Shin-chan ran over excitedly.
"Long time no see, Xiaoxu, Xiaoxin, hello." Seeing the two children, Yumi said with a smile.
"That's true." Mingxu nodded. They hadn't been to Guangzhi Company for a long time.
"That's right, senior is really something. He always only invites Kawaguchi to go out with him and never thinks of inviting me." Yumi complained.
"Oh, because you're a girl, I can't just invite you out casually." Guangzhi explained hurriedly.
"Then why did you suddenly look for me today?" Yumi asked in surprise.
"Uh, this, well..." Guangzhi was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Ah, let me help light the fire and prepare the barbecue." Kawaguchi probably reacted and quickly found a topic to talk about.
"Oh, it's me. I told dad that I haven't seen Miss Yumi for a long time, so dad invited you here, right?" Mingxu winked at Guangzhi.
"Oh, yes, that's right, that's it!" Guangzhi nodded quickly: "Then I'll go change my clothes first." After saying that, he walked into the house.
"I'll go get some tableware." Mingxu followed him in and said to Guangzhi, "Dad, you owe me a favor."
"I got it, kid. I'll collect those books for you next time." Guangzhi said with a wry smile.
"But Dad, is it okay for you to let them go on blind dates without their consent?" Mingxu asked while looking for something.
"You figured it out." Guangzhi smiled while changing his clothes.
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that." Mingxu rolled his eyes at him.
Meiya also came in at this time: "Honey, what's going on today?"
"..." Guangzhi looked at Mingxu.
"Maybe mom is not a very discerning person." Mingxu spread his hands and ran out.
"You little brat. What's going on?" Meiya gave Mingxu a blank look.
"You haven't figured it out yet. I just wanted to do Kawaguchi a small favor and set them up on a blind date or something like that. Xiaoxu saw it, but you didn't?" Guangzhi explained.
"Is that so? No wonder I felt weird." Meiya nodded.
"Kawaguchi failed to make a date with Yumi before, so I'll try this excuse." Hiroshi said to Misae.
"Then I'll help too!"
"Let it be, and we shouldn't interfere too much." Guangzhi said hurriedly as he looked at Meisai's expression, trying not to make things worse.
"Yeah." Meiya nodded: "If they get married, should I go get some new clothes so that I can attend their wedding."
"It's too early." Guangzhi's mouth twitched, as if he was going to spend a lot of money again.
After everything was ready, Misae and Hiroshi also came out. The people outside seemed to be getting along well with Mingxu and Xiaoxin's lively atmosphere. Kawaguchi lit a fire and started grilling meat.
Seeing this, the two of them stepped forward to help. With their intentional involvement, the atmosphere became more lively.
Soon everything was almost ready.
"Then I'll start." Everyone shouted together.
There were several plates of baked goods on the table, and Mingxu distributed them to them, but every time he gave the ones to Yumi, he used the excuse that he was short of money and asked Kawaguchi to help him pass them.
"Come on, everyone, eat. You're welcome."
"Madam, your cooking is as delicious as always." Kawaguchi said with a smile.
"No way. By the way, Kawaguchi, do you have someone who can cook for you?" Meiya asked casually.
"I, I don't have a partner. Because I put all my energy into my career." Kawaguchi said hurriedly.
"Although I don't know whether he focuses on his career, this guy is definitely not popular with women." Yumi teased.
"..."
"No, Kawaguchi is definitely not unpopular with women. Every time we go out for a drink, a lot of girls come up to us and say, 'Mr. Kawaguchi, you are so handsome, give me another bottle~'" Hiroshi defended Kawaguchi.
"...Dad, you'd better not say that." Mingxu said with a twitching mouth.
"But you should also have someone you like, right?" Meiya quickly changed the subject.
“Ah, this…”
"Who is it? Is it someone I know?" Xiaoxin also joined in the fun.
"It has come to this point, just tell me."
"..." Mingxu's mouth twitched. Is it really okay for you to help me like this?
"Well, this..." Kawaguchi glanced at Yumi secretly and took a few sips of beer: "Actually, the person I like is..." Kawaguchi was about to say it.
"Could it be..." Xiao Xin wanted to interrupt, but Mingxu covered his mouth with his hand and said, "You'd better be quiet now."
"Who is it?" Yumi asked with interest.
"I, I..." Kawaguchi sighed, "No one else."
"..."
"Forget it, come on, Xiaokui, this is very soft." Yumi shook her head and fed Xiaokui something with a smile. Xiaoxin also shouted for food when he saw this, so Mingxu stuffed a mouthful of meat into his mouth.
"Come here, Xiaoxu, I'll feed you." Xiaoxin held up the green pepper.
"Thank you." Mingxu's mouth twitched. Good boy, you really know how to have fun.
"Stop it, Shin-chan, don't give the green peppers to others!" Meiya shouted immediately.
Kawaguchi drank beer and looked at Yumi from time to time.
"If you don't act decisively, I tell you, you will never get a wife no matter what time it is!" Guangzhi shouted when he saw the other party.
"ah.."
"You're like this at work, too. Yesterday you even called the chairman of our important client by the wrong name!"
"But, um... Senior! You always ask me to buy swimsuit photo albums and the like." Kawaguchi also felt like giving up.
"..."
"So, senior, you do this kind of thing in private." Yumi stood up for Kawaguchi.
"Dad, I really misjudged you."
"Ah, let me explain..."
"You are so pitiful, Kawaguchi."
"Hey~" Kawaguchi picked up something and went to feed Xiaobai.
"..." Mingxu hesitated for a moment whether to call him. Xiaobai had just been fed by him. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it, thinking that he would just be a little full at most.
Yumi looked at Kawaguchi and smiled without saying anything.
Seeing this, Meiya and Guangzhi shrugged their shoulders, as if there was hope...
Soon, the party was over and Kawaguchi was drunk. Yumi helped him clean up and left. Before leaving, she looked at Kawaguchi and smiled with her hand covering her mouth.
Kawaguchi was kept by Hiroshi since the next day was the weekend and they didn't have to go to work.
"You're obviously someone who's very popular with kids and puppies, but love is such a hassle."
"That's right, should I go buy new clothes?"
"..."
"Mom, stop making excuses." Mingxu spread his hands: "You just want to buy new clothes."
"..."
