Chapter 35 Section 1

Naoki: How are you? The weather here has been erratic recently, making people feel sultry and hot at times, and the temperature plummets at times. I wonder if it is not as good as summer.This year's rainy season may be another dry rainy season, which makes people worry that there will be another shortage of water supply. If there is a shortage of water, we will be asked to save water in the prison. Is Shiji girl in good health?I look at the pictures that were sent to me last time, and I look at them every day.When I was first born, I thought she looked like Naoki, but after looking at recent photos, I still think she looks like Yumiko.Of course it should be like both of you.I asked others, and they said that there is a period of being like a father and a period of being like a mother, and they will change alternately. It depends on luck on which side to finally settle on.It is because of this reason that when you grow up, you usually become beautiful when you grow up, or vice versa.However, whether this is true no one knows.No matter who you look like, you are a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, and you will definitely be a beautiful girl when you grow up.Rather, she is already a beautiful girl at the age of three.So cute, is it also popular among neighbors?But be careful!There are people in this world who think about doing bad things all day long, so take care of her and don't let her be abducted.I didn't intend to scare you, but when I thought it was a factual matter, I was worried.Although I haven't seen her yet, I have dreamed of her in my dreams.However, three years old is the most likable time.Are you going to stop worrying so much?

Thinking about it, Shi Ji is an only child, isn't it a bit pitiful.It's time for another one, right?Of course it costs more, but it's nice to have siblings.However, I may make you laugh when I say this, brother idiot, I can't help you with anything. Maybe write a lot of nonsense, don't be unhappy.Then, write again next month. Takeshi Also: If possible, please send me a few photos of the real girl. Back at the company dormitory called Kasai Sunshine Residence, a housewife surnamed Maeda was watering the trees in the yard.She lives on the first floor and is very close to Yumiko.My husband is in charge of selling electrical appliances at Shinsei Kasai store.

Kasai Sunshine House consists of two houses.Each building has eight dwellings.Nova Electric used one of the buildings as a company dormitory. "Hello!" As soon as Naoki said hello, Mrs. Maeda turned her head and smiled immediately. "Ah, you are back, is it early today?" "I can't sell things, and it's okay to deliver." "Really, my husband is also worried. In the past, as long as the price was lowered, it could be sold, but now no matter how low the price is, no customers come." "I can't help it!" Zhigui nodded and walked up the stairs. Zhigui's house was above Maeda's.

Open the door to the smell of bonito festival dashi.Yushiko was standing in front of the stove, tasting the saltiness of Dongsi.She stopped and smiled. "Come back, it's so early!" "The lady downstairs said the same thing." The kitchen, which doubles as a dining room, connects two rooms, one as a bedroom and the other as a living room.Naoki glanced at the living room while taking off his shirt.Shiki fell asleep on the carpet.She was covered with the towel quilt that Yumiko had given her.My favorite dog plush toy is lying beside Shiji. "Just now, I asked her to eat a little earlier, but she fell asleep immediately. I went to the park today, and she seemed a little tired. Shiji is really a child who can get excited all at once."

"Are you used to playing in the park?" "Not only do I get used to it, but I have to go every day, which is annoying. Children still like to play outside." "of course." After changing clothes and washing hands, Zhigui sat down at the dining table.You Shizi quickly served the meals. "Have you made any friends yet?" Zhigui asked. "Yeah. It's better to be with Huimei and Qinnai who I met first. However, I also played with a boy named Chen. He is two months younger than Shiji, and he looks a circle older than Shiji. Really. Surprising."

"Didn't you bully Shiji?" "It doesn't matter, we are watching from the side, Chen is also a gentle child." After hearing Yushiko's words, Naoki was relieved.Not only for the only daughter, but also for Yumiko who has successfully passed the stage of appearing in the park. While stuffing the meal made by Miko into his mouth, he looked at Miki's sleeping face.I thought to myself that I would never have such a day, and spend a period of time peacefully and steadily every day.But this is indeed reality.An ordinary life where nothing happens is like a treasure to him.

Not long after she started living with Yumiko, she became pregnant.To Naoki's annoyance, Yumiko suddenly announced without him noticing, "Congratulations, you are going to be a father." The naturalization procedures have been completed, but the marriage ceremony has not yet been held.Even so, in the park where the church can be seen, he put a cheap ring on Yumiko's hand, and he completed the ceremony for the two of them. After having a child, she can no longer stay in Yushiko's room.Zhigui applied for the company's dormitory, and there were quite a lot of people competing, but Zhigui won the lottery.

"Naogui-kun has completed his first mission as a father." Yushiko said with a smile. "I've never been unlucky," he said.She nodded her head with a serious expression, "Maybe it was too bad before, but everything will go well in the future." "That would be great!" He also nodded. Moving, resigning from Miko, preparing for childbirth, and then having a baby, the situation is constantly changing.Naoki expends all his energy just doing what must be done immediately.Yushiko was very calm.In the ever-changing life, she always told Naoki about writing letters to Gangzhi.

"Tell your brother about it quickly. He will be surprised. But he will be happy." From the time they started living together to after they got married, she always thought about writing letters to Gangzhi.When Zhigui was busy or not in the mood to write a letter, she would definitely urge him to write. "The real record can walk. Did you tell my brother? Hey! Haven't written it yet? What's the matter, don't write it quickly, my brother's next letter is coming again. It was the same last month. Write something about the real record Right! The important news of this month is still about her. Oh, by the way, how about putting the photos in there too?"

Always reminding like this, Naoki should thank her, but also a little uneasy, because I think she cares too much about Gangzhi's letter. Did he do this on purpose to prevent himself from feeling inferior—sometimes he thought so. When we were about to finish dinner, the doorbell rang.Naoki stood inside the door and looked out through the door mirror.A long-haired woman stood there, and there seemed to be someone beside her. "Hey! Who is it?" he asked before opening the door. "I'm sorry to bother you at night. I'm moving here tomorrow. I want to say hello to you." The female voice said.

Zhigui opened the door, and there were two people standing outside.There is a man behind the woman, I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it all at once. "This time, I'm sorry!" The woman apologized again and lowered her head.Men like her husband imitated her. "My name is Machiya, and I will be moving to No. 202 tomorrow. There may be troubles in the future, so I will greet you first." It's a straightforward way to say it, probably because of a more stable personality.It gave the impression that her husband just followed her in silence. "Then you are too polite!" Naoki also smiled and said, "Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Please don't be too polite. I will be home tomorrow." The next day was a day off, and maybe that's why they moved on this day. "Thank you! Well, this is a trifle, please accept it." The woman handed over a small paper package with the word "Machiya" written on it. "Ah, thank you!" He took the paper bag and looked back.Yushiko also came behind her, "It's the neighbor who is going to move to No. 202." Yumiko also smiled all over her face. "If anything is unclear, just ask me." "Thank you!" The woman bowed her head in thanks again, and seemed to be leaving immediately.However, her husband kept staring at Naoki's face for some reason, and finally he said: "Hey! Are you Takeshima-kun who used to work in the computer department? When you first joined the company." "Ah! Yes." He was suddenly at a loss when he was told about something that happened a long time ago.Then he looked at the other person's face again, and suddenly awakened the memory of the past. "Ah, was it in the accounting class..." "Well, Machiya. I'm back here again this time. I was in Kameido a while ago." Machiya muttered in a low voice. "yes." When Zhigui was in the computer department, he saw him two or three times.He should be a year earlier than Zhigui. "I didn't know you lived in this dormitory too," Machiya turned his gaze away and scratched his cheek with his fingertips. "An acquaintance of yours?" asked his wife. "Ah, I can't even talk about acquaintances," Machiya replied as if to defend himself.Then he glanced at Zhigui and Yumiko, "Then, see you tomorrow." "it is good!" As soon as the door was closed, Yushiko immediately said, "What, I have a bad feeling." "What's the matter?" "I don't know why, but I keep staring at people. Besides, my wife is quite polite, but my husband, as soon as he finds out that you joined the company later than him, his tone immediately changes." "Isn't this the way it is in this society? It only values ​​status." Zhigui said deliberately and relaxed while locking the door.In fact, he had an ominous feeling in his heart.The time without the computer was not long, but it was during that short period of time that Tsuyoshi's affairs were exposed and people who worked with him looked at him differently, and this Machiya knew what happened at that time. No way - Naoki shook his head slightly.It was so long ago that Machiya must have forgotten. Miki has woken up and started acting like a baby with Yumiko non-stop. At about ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhigui saw the large truck of the furniture dealer from the window and heard a few workers in uniform moving the goods to Room 202 next to the apartment.It was all shiny new furniture that was being moved.Zhigui remembered that when he moved here, only one table was newly bought. That is, seeing that no moving company was found, only the young couple struggled to carry the luggage. The Maeda couple downstairs and colleagues who lived nearby came to help. Perhaps it was for this reason that everyone became familiar with it. The Machiya couple's moving ended around three o'clock in the afternoon.Until the end, there was no chance for Zhigui to help. "The daughter-in-law of the Machiya family looks like the daughter of a rich family." Yumiko who came back from shopping said while putting things in the refrigerator, "My mother's family is in Setagaya, and my father is the head of some big company." "Where did you hear that?" "Maeda said, I met him in the supermarket." Gossip about the newcomer spread so quickly.When I moved here, it was because people said this and that that it was going to be bad, so I thought to myself.Fortunately, the story of Gangzhi did not spread. Late that night, Naoki felt someone shaking his body and woke up, Yushiko was staring at him. "What's the matter?" he asked sleepily. "Weird noises behind the house." "Strange noises? Behind the apartment?" "Yeah." She nodded.There is a bit of space behind the apartment that people can barely pass through. "Not a feral cat or something?" "It's not like that. I looked out the window, but it was too dark to see." Naoki crawled out of the quilt and opened the window at the back of Chao's room.It was too dark indeed, and he couldn't see anything. "I didn't hear anything!" "Just heard that. What a nuisance. What if someone sets fire or something?" "No way!" Zhigui smiled at her, but his heart also became a little uneasy.He took off his pajamas, "Okay, I'll go and have a look." He quickly changed his clothes, grabbed the flashlight and went outside.Everyone has turned off the lights. Go to the back of the apartment and turn on the switch of the flashlight.What I saw was a large number of cardboard boxes, folded up, and placed there full.The moving company's logo is on the carton. Naoki turned off the flashlight, turned around and walked back.He was about to go up the stairs when a figure appeared above him, it was Machiya.Cartons tied together in hand. "Ah..." He showed an embarrassed expression. "After moving, the cardboard boxes are hard to dispose of, right?" Zhigui asked gently. "There is no place to put it!" Machiya said as if talking to himself. "But it's not good to put it in the back of the house. For fire protection or something, it's not allowed to put things there." "Just keep it for two or three days before throwing it away." "But there is a fixed day for throwing out cardboard trash, and the people who live here follow the rules." "It's annoying! I know." Machiya interrupted Naoki, said something impatiently and returned.
