Chapter 37 Well done!

A cold wind blew past the door of the meatball shop, sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Looking at the closed door and the two big words "Sold Out" on the sign on the door, Itachi felt cold.

The three-color meatballs were sold out before two o'clock?

At this time, the disappointed Itachi noticed a line of small words under the two big words "Sold Out":

During the holiday, the customer flow increased sharply. Today's meatballs were sold out in an hour. The store is out of stock. Please come again tomorrow.

At this time, Itachi remembered that the meatball shop is not only the favorite leisure gathering place for many young ninjas, but also the favorite of children.

Especially when the ninja school is on vacation, and it was just the New Year, many children received New Year's money, and the meatball shop underestimated the children's purchases, which led to the meatballs being sold out in advance every day in the past few days. Obviously, the materials for making meatballs were purchased twice, but it still couldn't stop the children's enthusiasm.

Of course, this situation will generally only last for a week to half a month. Children are always fickle. No matter how much they like sweets, they will get tired of eating too much, so the owner of the meatball shop will not stock up too many raw materials at one time.

Regardless of others, Itachi's knuckles were a little white with the one thousand tael note in his hand in his pocket.

This was given to him by his mother before he went out, so that he could buy his favorite snacks.

Itachi originally took the report card home, but his father was not at home when he returned, and his mother was very happy to give him one thousand taels of "money" after seeing the report card.

Then Uchiha Mikoto took out the milk powder and asked Itachi to feed Sasuke on time. She went out to attend the party and let Itachi solve the dinner by himself.

This one thousand taels was naturally counted as Itachi's pocket money and dinner money.

When Itachi passed by the meatball shop on his way home just now, although the shop was full, it was not closed yet.

Itachi was thinking about the meatballs, and he came to the door of the meatball shop with Sasuke in his arms as soon as his mother went out.

Tonight, Itachi will have dinner by himself. He plans to eat meatballs as a meal. It is rare for parents not to be at home. He wants to be willful sometimes.

But he never expected that it was gone!

"Itachi."

Just when Itachi was in a daze, a sweet voice sounded in his ears.

Itachi tilted his head and saw the pretty Quan next to him. She was holding two big oil paper bags in her arms, with three-color meatball patterns printed on them.

His eyes lit up immediately.

"Hey~ Itachi, is this your brother?" Quan walked to Itachi's side and gently poked Sasuke's chubby little face with his fingers.

Sasuke waved his little hand and slapped Quan's away.

"Yes, his name is Sasuke."

"Itachi, do you want to hug me?" Quan's face was eager to try.

Itachi hesitated, then shook his head: "This...can't do."

"Hey~ Can't do it? Why?" Izumi seemed a little disappointed. After all, her relationship with Itachi is now extraordinary, and Itachi is easy to talk to, so she thinks Itachi will not reject her.

"He will cry." Itachi seemed a little embarrassed.

"I don't believe it, let me try." Izumi looked unconvinced, she stuffed the oil paper bag in her arms into Itachi's hands, and then opened her hands to drag the small blanket wrapped in Sasuke.

Itachi held the warm oil paper bag, and through the gap in the oil paper bag, he smelled a sweet smell, which was the smell of happiness.

Just as he swallowed the water, Izumi hugged Sasuke into his arms.

"Wow! Wow!" As soon as Sasuke left Nissan's warm embrace, he burst into tears, and waved his little hands desperately at Itachi in the air.

"Oh, baby, don't cry, Sasuke is good." Izumi coaxed Sasuke in her mouth and gently shook Sasuke in her arms.

"Wow! Wow!"

However, Sasuke's crying became louder and louder, making Quan look a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Quan couldn't coax Sasuke, Itachi hurriedly handed her the oil paper bag in his hand, and then took Sasuke from her arms.

Itachi just patted Sasuke's back gently, and Sasuke giggled.

"Uh..." Quan was hit hard by Sasuke's completely different response. She was still very good at coaxing children, and occasionally helped the neighbors take care of babies.

I didn't expect that she would be defeated here today, and it was Itachi's younger brother.

"Sasuke is very attached to me. When I'm at home, he sometimes doesn't want his parents to hold him, so you don't have to be disappointed." Looking at Quan who was a little disappointed, Itachi couldn't help but comfort him.

Quan nodded, not wanting to continue this embarrassing topic, "Itachi, do you want to walk together?"

If it were before, Quan would definitely not say such a thing so bluntly.

But these days she always goes home with Itachi after school, and she has long been used to it.

However, after the holiday, there was no such opportunity. Although they were of the same clan, she had not seen Itachi for half a month, so she took the initiative to attack.

"Yeah." Itachi nodded silently.

Izumi was delighted by Itachi's response.

Itachi took Sasuke and walked with Izumi. After a while, they walked to the river.

They sat on a bench. Izumi handed the oil paper bag in her arms to Itachi with both hands, blushing and lowering her head, saying:

"Itachi, congratulations on your early graduation!"

"You know everything?" Itachi was slightly stunned. He had not figured out how to tell Izumi that he graduated early.

"Well, Qianhe told me. I thought Itachi was so good that he would definitely pass the exam, so I prepared to give you a gift.

Qianhe told me that you like to eat three-color meatballs, so I queued for half an hour and bought two meatballs.

If you don't mind, please accept it. "

Quan kept her head down and said all these words at once, but when Itachi didn't respond for a while, she raised her head with some disappointment:

"Sure enough, Qianhe lied to me, someone as outstanding as Itachi wouldn't like this..."

Quan stopped talking before she finished, because she found Itachi staring at her blankly.

Facing Itachi's gaze, Quan blushed again.

"Thank you, Quan." Itachi took the oil paper bag and then added: "I like it very much."

Although Itachi liked to talk to people more than before because of Qianhe's influence, he still rarely expressed his emotions directly.

It's just that now, he felt his chest swelling.

Especially when Quan was in front of him, especially when Quan blushed and said congratulations on his early graduation just now, especially when Itachi remembered that there would be no little girl following him after school, his heart was inexplicably sad.

"Really?" Quan's eyes lit up.

"Yeah. "Itachi nodded heavily.

Seeing that his brother's eyes were always on the girl opposite, Sasuke, who was waving his hands, felt threatened for some reason and started crying.

Seeing this, Itachi put down the oil paper bag and began to coax Sasuke.

After coaxing Sasuke to sleep, Itachi took out the warm three-color meatballs and handed them to Quan, "Let's eat together."

"Yes." Quan happily took the meatballs.
