I Am Reaching The Pinnacle Of My Life In The Magic Card World

Chapter 40 Summer Festival On The First Day Of Summer Vacation

In the scorching heat of July, Tomoeda Town is scorching hot.

When people walk on the street, if they are in an oven, they will sweat and soak into the old school uniforms, all of which are sweat flowing down.

Tsukasa's physical strength increased significantly due to his daily morning jogging. He was enjoying the shade under the shade of a big tree, holding a newspaper in his hand, and looking for jobs everywhere.

He first went to the seafood market. Tomoeda Town is surrounded by the sea on both sides and is rich in seafood products.

When asked about a fish vendor who was looking for a fish killer, he volunteered to apply. There was no doubt that when people saw a child, they wouldn't even let him try and drove him away.

Unwilling to give up, he walked around the vendors selling seafood. When he saw that the person working there was a child, who would dare to ask for it?

After asking around to no avail, I had no choice but to go to the next restaurant. The newspaper said that the restaurant was looking for dishwashers. Summer workers were welcome to apply. The salary was favorable and they would work eight hours.

This situation suited him very well, but as expected, the manager of the restaurant saw that he was a primary school student, and he was taller than the table. He concluded that he was not qualified for the job, and no, he didn't dare to ask for it.

After all, child laborers are still too young, less than ten years old. The boss said that if you look at the entire Sakura Country, you won't find a ten-year-old child laborer unless you don't want to do the business.

Love, this is too arbitrary. He can't put his hope in the income from selling cubs. No matter how high the salary is, there is nothing he can do.

Unbelieving in fate, I walked out of the shade of the tree, braved the scorching sun, and wandered around aimlessly, saving money and not buying water. When I was thirsty, I found a faucet to fill the water with. The tap water was full of the smell of bleach, and it was not very purifying. It was not good. drink.

After walking around blindly, he came to Maki's sister's doll shop unknowingly. He wanted to ask, but he was afraid of disturbing others. Child labor was against the law, so it wouldn't cause trouble for others.

It’s better not to cause trouble to others and look somewhere else. No one really wants to talk about it anymore. Zhong Jie lowered his head and turned around to go back.

"Tsukasuke!" Maki Matsumoto had just left the store and called out to Tsukasae who was wearing an old school uniform. It was easily recognizable as the uniform of Tomoeda Elementary School.

The school uniform was tattered and tattered, the black shorts were washed out and turned white, and there was no one except Yukinoshita Tsukage.

There are poor people in Tomoeda Town, but there are many who are poorer than him. Most of them, the Nikkei stock market plummeted, and the middle class returned to abject poverty overnight.

He was discovered, "Good morning, sister Maki." He had no choice but to turn back and say hello.

"It's getting late, take the newspaper, do you want to find a job?" Maki Matsumoto glanced at the newspaper that Tsukasa held tight.

When she was in elementary school, she was looking for a job, but no one dared to ask for it. The child was having such a hard time, so she felt compassion and recruited help from the store.

"No, no, I'm just bored at home. I came out to get some fresh air." Tsukasa waved his hands repeatedly.

"Okay, stop pretending. I usually purchase goods. I don't have a person to look after the store, so you can help me."

Tsukasa was worried, "Sister Maki, I am a child, won't I bring you trouble?"

"It's okay, just say he's my younger brother and come to the store to play with me during the summer vacation." Maki Matsumoto thought of a good reason. She has no younger brother, so she really treats Tsukasa as her younger brother. She added a little: "Four hours of work, four hundred dollars an hour, come here at noon, I will purchase goods and help me look after the store."

This remuneration was free of charge and exceeded expectations by a lot. He even worked for an hourly salary of 200 yuan.

"Okay, sister Maki, when should I report for duty?"

"Tomorrow, there will be an annual summer festival tonight. Meet your friends and have fun together. If you missed it, you will have to wait until next year."

"Okay. Thank you sister Maki, I'll go back first."

"Go ahead."

Maki Matsumoto looked at the small figure at the top of the mountain and was filled with emotion. This child is stubborn. Mrs. Yukinoshita called again to find out the situation. She only responded: "It's fine."

A big stone fell in my heart. With an income of nearly 3,000 yen, this summer vacation was stable.

As night falls, the sky is filled with darkness, and countless stars are widely dotted in the starry sky.

The Summer Festival is a grand festival of the local culture of Sakura Country. It includes worshiping gods, praying, singing and dancing, fireworks, parades in yukata, and rows of flea market vendors listing treasures packed at the bottom of the box and shouting to sell them.

When Tsukasa received a call from his uncle, he originally thought not to go, but then he thought about the annual summer festival. If he didn't go, the eldest lady would regret it.

Time will never go back, but regrets will last a lifetime, no joke.

We went anyway. The summer festival was held on the top of a large shrine in Tomoeda Town. There were many people and it was full of human fireworks.

Most of the town residents who participated in the summer festival wore kimonos, and a few wore normal clothes.

The tomb stairway is one of them. There is no kimono to wear. The Chinese people don't bother to wear it, and they won't wear it if they have it.

Tomoyo didn't know much about the pattern of each wearing a kimono according to the summer festival custom, and he couldn't tell.

The parade to worship the gods was held during the day, but he didn't catch it. He mostly played in the evening, setting up stalls and playing small games.

The most common goldfish fishing is a large artificial fish tank, with as many as thirty goldfish of different colors swimming.

Fishing for goldfish can cost a hundred bucks at a time. It’s your first summer festival and you have to prepare some souvenirs.

This goldfish is a good choice. Give it to the eldest lady. When you look at the little goldfish, you will think of him. How wonderful.

The tools used to catch goldfish are small paper nets and sesame eggs. The merchants are really evil because the paper is fragile and becomes soft when exposed to water.

The rules of the game are to fish out the goldfish before the paper becomes soft. The operation difficulty is advanced and the goldfish will swim away.

Take out the goldfish before the paper becomes soft. He has quick eyes and quick hands and is very particular about technique.

Don't be impatient and be calm, it is a test of one's ability to nourish Qi.

The goldfish merchant is a middle-aged man with squinting eyes, fanning himself while forcing Lai Lai.

Do you want to talk calmly to a primary school student? You are fighting a fire, Zhong Jie's mentality is bursting, his blood is rising, and he will not give up until he catches the goldfish.

The uncle fanned his big paper fan and said kindly. He was so happy when he saw ten small paper nets broken by the tomb steps. It was too reckless to do something stupid.

"Little girl, don't you want to have fun with it?" The uncle set his sights on Zhishi again. Good things come in pairs, so you two must work together.

"Okay!" Tomoyo happily expressed his desire to play.

She smoothed down her kimono, knelt down beside the steps of the tomb, and grabbed the paper net from his hand.

Hunters often appear as prey, and experts will know if they are there as soon as they take action.

Look at her netting in the fish tank, motionless, as still as still water, and her Qi level is so good that even the fish seller’s smiling face froze, and he smelled something unusual.

The maple trees in the distance swayed, and there was a rustling sound among the maple leaves.

The hands of those who know the world are like snakes swimming around, and they are as fast as lightning. The speed of their hands is so fast that hundreds of flowers are dazzled.

While Zhong Jie's eyes were dull and dazed, goldfish were thrown into the small bucket of fish one by one.

One, two,,,, twenty small goldfish, swimming around in the small bucket, the scales of the goldfish are half gold and half red.

The fish's lips are full of energy, the fins and tail are plump and fleshy, and the colors are pure black, pure gold, and various colors.

"Pack it, thank you!" Tomoyo smiled and handed the bucket to the middle-aged uncle.

When the middle-aged uncle was about to cry, he kicked the iron plate and was crushed, and he felt very regretful, so he filled the air bags one by one, making ten air bags and two fish in each bag.

The old lady can't blame me. I was educated by a primary school student, and I still have ten items left. Yes, if you work harder, you can make some.

What else can't you do, young lady? It's hard for me to handle it because you are so omnipotent. Tsukasa looked at the bag in his hand, Yu stared at him, and he glared at Yu.

At the next point, Tomoyo took him to find Sakura Kinomoto, and bumped into Takashi Yamazaki on the way and gave him two bags of small goldfish as gifts.

After a small chat, they met Daochang Li and his brother-in-law at a street stall where they were playing ring games.

In order to fight for a red-eyed rabbit doll, smash the circles like crazy to see who gets the most.

The evil big dog owner, he muttered silently on the tomb steps, his hands and feet were slow, and every acquaintance had a bag of small goldfish.

Li Xiaolang, Kinomoto Yaoya, Kinomoto Sakura, and Moon City Snow Rabbit are all there.

After giving away the little goldfish, Tomoyo still wanted to go shopping, so he pulled up the stairs to the tomb to bid farewell to his best friends and the others.

Taken to another part of the festival, there is an uninhabited grove, on the hillside, there are fireflies floating in the jungle, with a shimmering blue light.

Flying around the two of them, the eldest lady turned her palm upward, and several fireflies landed on her hand, like small blue lanterns.

Tomoyo teased the little fireflies with his green-white fingers, and smiled innocently and beautifully.

It's a pity that smart phones haven't come out in this era, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem to take a picture and use it as a mobile wallpaper.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Fireworks shot up into the sky, and colorful flowers bloomed in the screaming night sky.

Illuminating the silent woods, the fireflies flew into the grass again as if they were frightened.

The magnificent fireworks flashed by like a meteor, and the dirty little girl's face suddenly came to mind.

I shook my head and got rid of distracting thoughts. I was so "happy".
