Chapter 57 Section 4

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Okada closed temporarily, and the business hours at night began at five o'clock.Youzi hung up the "Preparation" sign, and suddenly saw a middle-aged woman walking over with a smile.This person is a housewife who lives nearby and has a good relationship with the mother who has a child.I heard her complain before, saying that the children have grown up and she is bored every day. "Hello." Youzi greeted, "Mom just went out, and she will be back soon, please go in and wait." Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head with a smile on his face: "I came to see you today, and I plan to listen to your parents' opinions later."

She carried a large envelope under her arm.Youzi could guess what she was doing at a glance, and he couldn't show his displeasure openly, so he had to forcefully maintain a smiling face and said, "Auntie, are you here to propose marriage again?" "You will definitely like it this time. I work in a construction company. I am 30 years old this year. I am the second child at home, and my family background is good. I can't find such a suitable one anymore." "But I also said last time that I don't want to think about this issue yet." "If you're so calm, you'll get older and older. Don't say anything else, just listen to me first, and you'll definitely want to meet after listening."

The aunt grabbed Yuko's arm and entered the store.Maybe it was because she was extremely bored, this aunt always came to introduce her partner, and Youzi was forced to look at the photos she took twice before.Every time the mother would decline, saying that the child was still young. "Look, it's thirty years old, looks pretty young, right? I heard that I played table tennis when I was in school, and my body is absolutely good. As for men, the key is connotation and physical strength, don't just look at appearance." The aunt chattered endlessly. Youzi glanced at the resume and photos absently.No wonder the aunt emphasized that men should not only look at their appearance, the men in the photos really don't please girls.Although it is covered up by clothes, it still looks quite fat, and it should not be tall, but it looks serious.Judging from the resume alone, he should be the kind of person who lives a down-to-earth life.

Youzi thought indifferently that if he married such a man, he might be able to live a so-called ordinary but happy life, but he really couldn't connect this fantasy with himself. When Youzi continued to perfunctory, the mother finally came back.The aunt began to recommend the man in the photo to the mother again, and the mother echoed with a wry smile.Seeing this opportunity, Youzi got up and said, "I'm going to go shopping." "Ah, wait a minute, listen to me." The aunt said hurriedly. "I have to go to Nihonbashi to buy bonito flowers, let's talk about it next time." Yuko said as he took off his apron.Although the aunt wanted to keep her, she left the shop.She thought that today, her mother would still politely decline.But, sooner or later, mom won't do that.

A few days ago, after closing the shop, when Youzi was cleaning the table, his father came over and said, "The craftsman really won't come." "Craftsman?" Of course Youzi knew who it was, but she pretended to be confused on purpose. "It's the man named Suyuan, will he move away?" "Well... I don't know." "It's such a recession now, maybe they moved to other places. It's useless to say that these people have moved." After finishing speaking, my father went into the room. The father who is always looking at the store from the kitchen cannot fail to notice his daughter.He has long seen that his daughter is in love with Yaya.The father must have been concerned about the disappearance of Ya Ye and the more or less lonely daughter.Out of concern for their daughter, it is entirely possible that parents are interested in proposing marriage.

Perhaps because of thinking about these things, she unknowingly walked towards Masaya's residence.Looking up from the side of the road, you can see the windows of his room and occasionally clothes hanging to dry.Through these things, she can confirm that Yaya has not left here. Seeing Masaya's figure from the window, Yuko hid behind a truck parked nearby.Ya also didn't seem to notice her, as if she had just put away her clothes and was closing the window.After a while, the gray curtains were also drawn.It looks like he is going out. She went around to the front of the building.After a while, Ya also came down from the second floor, carrying a sports bag in his hand.Youzi hid again.He seemed to be going to the station, with Youzi following behind.

Watching Yaya's back, she guessed where he was going.I wanted to say hello to him just now, but when I saw him, I was speechless again.His appearance was very different from usual, his hair was neatly combed in a rare way, his leather jacket was never seen before, his shoes and trousers were brand new, and he was dressed very stylishly. Youzi thought, maybe he was going to meet someone, and it must be a woman.Although there was no evidence, she could think of no other answer. Ya also arrived at Hikifune Station, bought a ticket, and passed the ticket gate.Yuko bought a ticket at random in front of a ticket machine some distance away from him.

Ya also got on the tram to Asakusa.Yuko guessed that he would transfer to the Toei Asakusa Line from there.If this is the case, it will be convenient, and I planned to go to Nihonbashi. As expected, Ya also changed to the Toei Asakusa Line in Asakusa.Youzi followed into the carriage next to him, and stretched his neck to look at him.He stood by the car door, staring intently outside. Seeing his expression, Youzi gradually felt that he was not going to meet a woman, at least not on a date.If you go to meet someone you like, you should be happier.Cong Yaya not only didn't feel excited, but also seemed to be going to a place she didn't want to go.

Ya also got off the bus in Ningyocho.After a moment of hesitation, Yuko also got out of the car.She asked herself why she did this, whether Ya also had a lover or not, it had nothing to do with her.Only one thing is clear - no matter what, he will not choose himself.It's not to make myself give up, falling in love is a common thing, and it's not like she doesn't have this kind of experience. I want to know what kind of person he really is. Youzi finally thought of this level.If she doesn't know Yaya's true face in the end, she will give up this relationship, she can't do it anyway.

From the subway station to the ground, Ya also walked forward without hesitation, and occasionally glanced at his watch, which showed that he had indeed made an appointment with someone else. Soon, he crossed the intersection, walked into a building, and got on the elevator.Youzi also hurriedly followed in.The lights showed that the elevator had stopped on the third floor.Judging from the instructions on the wall, the third floor is the "pottery class". Ya also go to pottery class?Why? While Youzi was standing there blankly, a middle-aged woman walked in.She found that Yuko hadn't pressed the elevator button, a look of surprise flashed across her face, and then she pressed the button herself.

"Excuse me..." Youzi said, "Are you going to pottery class?" "Yes." The middle-aged woman nodded. Yuko wanted to ask if there was someone named Mizuhara Masaya in the class, but she swallowed it back.She didn't want Ya to know that she had come here. "What time does the class start?" She changed the content of the question. "It's different depending on the day of the week. I'm a little late today from three o'clock to five o'clock." "Oh." No wonder Ya just kept looking at his watch. "Do you want to sign up too?" "Ah...I'm still thinking about it." "Really? You must try it, it's very interesting." The elevator doors opened.The middle-aged woman looked at Youzi, tilted her head and asked, "Are you coming?" Youzi squeezed out a smile and waved his hand. After walking out of the building, Yuko looked up at the window on the third floor.The words "POTTERY CLASS" were written all over the windows.Yaya and pottery class - can't connect the two. She wants to go to Nihonbashi to buy wooden fish first, and then come back to have a look.Even so, it wouldn't be five o'clock, so she was thinking about where to go to pass the time. "Just now there was a girl below who wanted to apply for a class." "Oh? Why didn't you bring it up?" "It seems to be a little hesitant, and I think I will come again." "What kind of girl? Pretty?" "Well, it looks pretty good." "If a girl like that signs up, the teacher will take care of her again." Two middle-aged women beside them were whispering.Ya also found out after two visits that they came here just to chat.Today is the same, the mud ball in front of them has not formed at all, they are just playing around. Ya also sat in front of the electric drawing machine, supported the outer side of the rotating clay embryo with his left hand, and pressed the inner side with the fingers of his right hand to expand the clay outward.If there is no force, the mud embryo will not change; but if too much force is applied, it will suddenly deform.Don't overdo it. There is something wrong with the belly of the fingers.Ya also stopped the embryo transfer machine and looked, and found that some of the mud embryos had bulged on the surface. "This is Xiaopao." Lai Jiang said from the side.It seemed she had been watching him operate. "Bubble?" "There is still air in the mud embryo, and the mud embryo needs to be kneaded well before it is put on the drawing machine." "That's not enough?" "Not really. There's a good remedy." Lai Jiang took a thin stick from his console, with a needle at the top.She bent down in front of him and stabbed the "soil bubble" with a needle.The smell of perfume on her body wafted from Yaya's nose. "Okay, that's all." She stood up straight and smiled at him.Her face was very close to his. Ya also touched the place she had treated, and the protruding part had indeed disappeared. "The effect is good." He started the drawing machine again.Lai Jiang did not leave immediately, but watched his movements intently from the side. "As expected of a manual worker, you are doing so well. At my level, you will soon overtake me." "Pure manufacturing is okay, but the problem is design. I don't have the talent for design." "Really? It seems that you are good at manufacturing from drawings." "um, yes." "That," Lai Jiang lowered his voice slightly, "Are there any arrangements after class?" "No." "Then why don't you eat with me again? There is a restaurant that does very good Italian food." "Okay, but I'm too sorry to invite you to treat me. I'll invite you today." "Don't worry about this, you haven't found a new job yet." Lai Jiang patted his knee lightly and returned to his console. What Meifuyu said on the phone yesterday echoed in Yaya's ears.She chuckled softly: "It seems that you have successfully approached her, and, moreover, she likes it very much." Masa also said that she was not very clear, but Mifuyu's tone did not change. "I saw Lai Jiang today. You can tell at a glance that it is definitely a woman's face." "A woman's face?" "Women, as soon as you meet a man you like, it will show on your face immediately. Isn't it always said that a woman will become beautiful when she has a boyfriend? That's what she said." "Even so, the person she likes may not be me." "Who else but you? She doesn't have any lovers at all, haven't you been following her? You should know this best." True enough, he stopped talking.Meifuyu continued: "Hey, Yaya, the next step is the most critical. We must not fail if we want to catch big fish." Catch big fish?Could it be that Kurata Raie fell in love with him?Ya also felt that this was just an absurd fantasy.The other party is over fifty years old, and has a husband and son. "The age gap is not a problem at all. She is the one who cares about age. In addition, it doesn't matter if she has a husband. Having a husband is easy to accumulate resentment, and she needs to find an outlet." "Mifuyu, assuming what you said, what do you want me to do? Even if that person falls in love with me, it won't do you any good." After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Meifu continued: "If you just let her fall in love with you, it is true." "What's the meaning?" Her breathing can be heard through the microphone. "You forgot? I begged you to investigate that man for a reason." "Seize the weakness..." "By the way," she said curtly, "an affair with a young man while her husband is away—a powerful weapon if you can get hold of the evidence." She pursed her lips and smiled. "Wait a minute, what's going on with the extramarital affair? I didn't intend to have an abnormal relationship with that person. I approached her all the time to grasp her weakness. Did you ask me to fabricate the scene of the extramarital affair?" Mifuyu's words made Yaya's skin crawl all over. "Fabrication is meaningless, it must be the real handle." "Hey, do you want to..." "Yaya," Meidong whispered, "I said before that no matter what, we must catch her. If you can't find one, you can only build one, and now you are in an excellent position." "Forgive me," Yaya shook her head while holding the phone, "Don't let me do that. Do you want me to sleep with such an aunt?" "Can't you?" "It goes without saying. Meifuyu, don't you care if you ask me to do this kind of thing?" Mifuyu became silent again.Ya also thought that she understood her feelings, but she didn't.She said calmly: "I don't want Ya to do that kind of thing, but there is no other way. This is all for the happiness of both of us. I married a man I don't like. Didn't you also endure it silently? This time It's my turn to be patient. I understand it's going to be painful for you to sleep with her, but I'm forced to sleep with that man too. We can only survive this way." Ya couldn't refute it, but she didn't think it through. "I've said it many times. That person may not like me. I don't know if I have a chance to sleep with her." "No problem, Yaya, you can definitely do it." Mifuyu ended the conversation with encouragement as usual. Is there no other way?Ya also asked herself while covering the mud embryo that was constantly rotating on the drawing machine with her hands.Is there really only this path that Mifuyu said to achieve happiness?Fundamentally, what exactly is happiness?Shouldn't it be just about gaining wealth and power? Ya also began to have doubts about the love that Meidong talked about.Although she said that, Ya also didn't think about her marriage, not only that, but she also endured death-like suffering.Regardless of the reason, it is unbearable for someone you love to sleep with someone else. Ya also came back to her senses and found that the people around her were about to leave.Lai Jiang came to the side and said with a smile: "It's serious. Let's pack up and go back. The tea bowl you made has basically taken shape." "Yeah." He nodded, took the secant line placed beside him, first slowed down the speed of the drawing machine, stretched the secant line parallel to the roulette with both hands, and gently approached the part equivalent to the bottom of the tea bowl.When the bottom half is embedded, let go of your left hand, and quickly pull with your right hand, allowing the secant thread to be involved, and the tea bowl part is separated from the mud embryo below.This is the so-called secant step. "It's really good." Lai Jiang said half-jokingly.In the past, this step often made the hard-won works fly away.Ya also smiled slightly, and carefully picked up the tea bowl. After tidying up the drawing machine, he took off his dirty clothes in the locker room, and waited for Lai Jiang outside the classroom after changing.The group of women I saw during the follow-up before had disappeared, and they probably went to that restaurant long ago. "Wouldn't it be nice not to go with your friends?" Lai Jiang smiled wryly and said: "I used to go to drink tea together. To be honest, I felt extremely boring. I always talked about some indecent gossip topics, such as which actor was promiscuous again, and so-and-so got divorced again. Because I didn't want to be in the class Too isolated to associate with them reluctantly." The two got on the elevator together.The white turtleneck sweater worn by Lai Jiang shows off her figure. From the outside, it seems that her figure is still in shape. As a woman of this age, her figure is very well-proportioned, but if she only wears underwear, she doesn't know what she looks like.Ya also thought, she took off her underwear, wondering if she could arouse her lust.Perhaps because of the good makeup, just by looking at his face, it is impossible to tell that Lai Jiang is in his fifties.She looks very straight, and if she is ten years younger, she should be able to... It's all for the happiness of both of us—Mifuyu's voice echoed in my ears again.He replied again in his heart: Please forgive me. The elevator reached the first floor, and Ya Ye and Lai Jiang walked out of the building side by side.In the corner of his field of vision, he caught an approaching figure.Looking over there, he couldn't help but let out a soft "ah", it was You Zi.She was wearing a duffel coat and was carrying a large white bag in her right hand. "I have a son..." "...Hello." She looked at Yaya, then turned to Lai Jiang, and then back to him.Her eyes clearly wandered. "Why are you here?" "Well, I just went shopping." She glanced at Lai Jiang again. "Your friend?" Lai Jiang asked. "Well—the owner's daughter of a nearby restaurant." "Really? Oh." Lai Jiang widened his eyes and smiled.She looked Yuzi up and down, and Ya also felt that her eyes were full of contempt. "Ya, what about you?" Youzi asked. "Ah, I have something to do in this building." He pointed to the building behind him, really embarrassed to mention the pottery class. "Oh." She lowered her head, as if hesitating. "If it's convenient, let's have a cup of tea together?" Lai Jiang said, and then asked Ya Ye for advice, "What do you think?" "Are you going together?" Ya also asked Youzi. Yuko shook his head. "I have to go back." "Oh, then say hello to the boss and the boss's wife for me." "Well," she nodded, smiled slightly, then greeted Lai Jiang, said goodbye, and trotted away. "Is this okay? Do I have something to do with you?" "How come, it's just a coincidence." "yes?" "Well, purely by chance." A skeptical expression appeared on Lai Jiang's face, but he only said "Oh" and nodded. "Then let's go and take a taxi." In the taxi, Yaya was still thinking about having a son.What would she think when she saw herself with Lai Jiang?How would you guess the relationship between the two?She should be able to see the age difference, and maybe she wouldn't think it was a relationship between lovers, but Lai Jiang is very young, and if the relationship is for money, it has nothing to do with the age difference. He was surprised that his thoughts could go so far, but no matter what Youzi thought of him, he didn't need to mind. He didn't want to be disgusted by Yuko - when he realized this thought, he was shaken.This kind of feeling is real, and it is the feeling you have for the person you like.So, what about Miyu?Fear of being scorned, wanting to be a man useful to her, hoping to meet her expectations, be a man worthy of her... always have such thoughts, but never have such a simple mood. "What a beautiful girl." Lai Jiang said suddenly. "What?" Ya also looked at her. She was still facing forward. "The girl just now. If there is a girl like that, it must be a pleasure to go to the restaurant." There was no cadence in her tone. "I haven't been there much recently." "Oh. Ah, maybe it's because of that." "what?" "There are fewer opportunities to meet, so I went there to find you." Ya also smiled lightly: "Didn't you say it, it was purely accidental to meet there." Lai Jiang also smiled slightly, turned to him and said, "She has been waiting for you there." Her tone was very sure. "Impossible, she doesn't know about my going to that training class." "That's what someone said. If you didn't tell anyone, she followed you." Ya also shook her head with a smile: "It's absolutely impossible." "When we met by chance on the street, I would never have that kind of expression. She wasn't surprised at all just now." "yes?" "Okay, it doesn't matter anyway," Lai Jiang turned his face forward again, "It seems that girl likes you." "Do not say that." "You should know it too, it can be seen from your face." She gave Ya Ye a sideways look. "It's so troublesome." He turned his gaze out of the window. A taxi is driving on Showa-dori.Lai Jiang told the driver where he was going, but he didn't know exactly where.He has been in Tokyo for several years, but outside of the civilian areas, he still can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. "You spoke Kansai dialect when you spoke to her." "Ah? Really?" "When you were with me, although you had a Kansai accent, you didn't have such a pronounced dialect." "It just can't be changed." "I don't think it's necessary to change it, even when you're with me." Ya also licked her lips, and a strange tension gradually enveloped her whole body.Lai Jiang's tone was obviously jealous.
