48 Hours a Day

Take the bus for about 15 minutes and cross three intersections to reach the end of the trip.

Zhang Heng stared at this small store called Takeda Aquaculture, "Is your father staying here? ”

“Yeah, it smells bad in there, you can wait for me outside.” The closer Ameko gets to his face, the more gorgeous he is, but still thoughtful.

“Come on, let's go inside.” Zhang Heng did not hesitate much. The two walked through the old freezer and the old one placed outside the store to the aquaculture store. A peculiar smell of seafood immediately poured out his nose. His eyes were full of fish and shrimp shells and other seafood, but there was no one in the store, only sea eels roaming around the foam box.

“Father ~ Father ~” Ameko shouted twice and no one responded.

“Did you really go to the hospital?” The girl muttered, hesitating or walking upstairs. Zhang Heng followed her. The wooden staircase had not been repaired for some time. There were cracks in many places, and the steps creaked on it, as if it could be broken at any moment.

Zhang Hengyuan thought that the ground floor had been filled up enough. I didn't think that the second floor was really empty. Dirty clothes and beer cans had been thrown everywhere. There were also pornographic magazines. A man with a fuzzy face fell asleep on the floor naked.

“I am such a fool that the same lies are repeatedly believed.” Ameko held his forehead in his arms.

“It's a good thing in a way, it's better than lying in a hospital. ”

“No, it's terrible. How could there be a man in the world who could cheat even his own daughter? ”

That being said, Ameko pulled up the man's hands and tried to drag him onto a side stack.

“I'll do it.” Zhang Heng looked at Ameko's movements a little hard and took the initiative to help.

During the drag, something fell out of the man's pants pocket, Ameko picked it up, found it to be a broken brown wallet, when she got the wallet, she was stunned, I didn't know what to think, then the man on the stack suddenly sat up and yelled at Ameko.

In an urgent situation, Zhang Heng, before he could even think about consciousness, used a small defensive technique Bell taught him. A man fell over his shoulder and fell to the ground. The latter was struck hard and his eyes turned over. This time, he passed out directly.

Ameko shouted “no” at this time.

“Yay, did he hang up?!” The girl was shocked by the movement.

“Uh, no, but it'll probably be a while before he wakes up. What did he just yell at you? ”

“Give me my wallet back...” Ameko muttered.

“ ………… ”

“I'll keep learning Japanese when I get back.” Zhang Henghan, then the two of them moved the man who was drunk into a coma back onto the stack.

Zhang Heng looked in Ameko's hand and held the damn purse. "What, is there a giant money in it? ”

Ameko shook his head, "No, this wallet was a birthday present from his mother sixteen years ago, and I didn't expect him to carry it with him.” The girl opened her wallet as she spoke, leaving only half of the diaphragm on the left with an old yellow photograph of a family of three.

Ameko pointed to the baby, who was only a year old in his arms, and said, "This should be me, followed by Mom and Dad, who said he wasn't addicted to gambling at the time, and our family was still happy. ”

Zhang Heng's eyes fell on a cool looking Nissan behind the man, and he moved, "You didn't tell me your dad played with the retrofit car. ”

“Modified car? No, no, don't look at him like that. When I was a kid, he was a model man. When the aquaculture store first opened, the business was bad, but the competition was not local. In order to increase turnover, he started practicing English to go to foreign clients, one by one, and he would go to the door and visit. At the worst, the seafood at home would be sold to London, Los Angeles, even Peru... so serious people couldn't possibly be involved with those runaways. ”

“... and he has never driven a car since I remember, and the aquaculture stores at home usually hire people to deliver it.” Ameko recalls looking at the photograph again, "someone must have parked there when the photograph was taken. ”

“Well...” Zhang Heng didn't ask, "I'm quite interested in the car. It's probably antique by now, can I take a picture? ”

“Yes, but don't shoot me. I was so ugly when I was a kid.” Ameko blocked his one-year-old self with his fingers and let Zhang Heng take the picture.

The girl then wore two cups of tea, boiled some hot water in an electric kettle on the table, and turned a dark bag of tea from the cupboard.

“This… is probably Oolong tea.” Ameko sniffed under his nose, a little uncertain.

The two of them chatted while drinking tea, but basically Ameko was talking about her childhood. After about half an hour, the stubborn man on the stack finally opened his eyes and rubbed his sore shoulder, looking vigilantly at Zhang Heng beside him.

Ameko hastily asked, probably explaining the relationship between the two.

The gaze of the hush-hush man only slightly improved. From hostility to ignorance, the two of them were flying fast in Japanese to talk about what.

Ultimately Ameko took 15,000 yen out of his bag and put it on the table, but the more he looked unsatisfied, the more excited he was, the more he stood up from the stack.

Zhang Heng frowned and blocked Ameko. His fitness has been quite effective in recent times. Although he doesn't have much muscle, his size is not too much. Plus, he just gave the other party a shoulder drop. After seeing him, Hu Man became significantly weaker.

Ameko also stood up from the ground, and her emotions seemed depressed, red-eyed, "Let's go. ”

On the tram back, the girl looked out the window and Zhang Heng did not disturb her. After a while, she grabbed a box of mixed gum from her pocket and said in lame Japanese, "If I don't eat it, I will eat strawberries. ”

“If you don't, I'll eat all the strawberry flavor.” Ameko corrected, took the gum, and her eyebrows flashed, in Chinese, “I'm sorry, Zhang Song, to show you something unhappy. ”

“No, it's always been you who helped me, and it feels good to have me help you once in a while... so what, are you guys finally making up? ”

“No, he said the original hired person in the store is going home this month, he can't get the right person to drive the delivery for him, the store won't last. Anyway, he can always find a similar excuse, I am too lazy to tell the truth, just give him the allowance for this month, should be able to exchange for some peace.” Ameko is helpless.
