Chapter 25 second quarter

The Ocha no Koji family belongs to a famous family. It is difficult to explain exactly how famous he is, and even Maoqiu himself has not fully understood it.If you want to talk about the origin in detail, you must have a genealogy chart passed down from generation to generation, and this genealogy chart is kept in the vault of Ochazhikoji's family, and Mao Qiu has only seen the real thing with his own eyes a few times. "Our ancestors once served as the elders of a certain domain (the head of the retainers of the daimyo in the Edo period. There are several names in a domain, and they are usually hereditary.)." Every time Yoko talked about the Koji family of Ocha, he always used this sentence as an inspiration. prologue.After that, she talked freely all the way, such as after the establishment of the Meiji government, the family gained the status of a privileged class, and they had close ties with all kinds of real power figures.

Yoko is the twelfth generation head of the Ocha no Koji family.The patriarch of the previous generation had no sons, so he chose a son-in-law for the eldest daughter. Maoqiu's father, Yaozi's husband, is a teacher. In Maoqiu's impression, he is a slender person. He often stays in the study room to study during holidays. He usually keeps few words and always hides behind his wife.This behavior is particularly evident at gatherings of relatives.Because the income from renting out the ancestral land is enough to guarantee the life of the family, no one seems to regard him as the mainstay of the family's economy.

When Maoqiu was five years old, his father died of stomach cancer.He didn't know much about his father, except that once, Yaozi said this: "Your father, he is very smart. Their family has produced many outstanding talents who are diligent and studious, and this aspect is slightly better than ours. When I married your father, it was also because my grandfather said that such a bloodline joined the royal family. Chazhixiaoji's house is not bad either." In other words, he recruited to get the genes of smart people. After his father passed away, Mao Qiu was raised by his mother alone, but the life of the two is far from being as simple as mother and child depending on each other.The reason for saying this is not because there are maids who do all the housework.For example, when Maoqiu chose primary school, more than a dozen relative representatives gathered in the living room of Ochazhikoji's house to hold a meeting.As long as it is related to the future of the eldest son, everything must be discussed and decided at a family meeting.

Due to such an environment, Maoqiu's daily life must be closely monitored at the most important moments, and he is strictly supervised from his words, attitude towards life to dressing. Among them, Yaozi is most concerned about making friends.When Mao Qiu came home from school every day, he first had to report what happened in school to Yaozi without any concealment.As long as an unfamiliar name is brought out, Yaozi immediately asks: "That Nakamura classmate, what kind of child is he? What does the family do?" , learning attitude, and family environment all get to the bottom of it one by one.The teacher who disclosed the information without authorization is certainly wrong, and Yoko's tone is indeed too tough to refuse.

After learning the relevant information in this way, Yoko will make a judgment on whether Mao Qiu can make friends with the other party—such as Nakamura-student—in the future.Many times she would warn: "Don't play with that child all the time." In this way, Mao Qiu could only agree, and then often hid in her room and cried.Most of the friends my mother forbids me to date are very attractive and have a lot of fun together.And the child who wants to say "you must get along well with him" is always boring and honest. But he couldn't go against his mother's decision.Whether it is choosing friends or anything else, he will not allow the slightest resistance.Because he is the heir of the family, in order to inherit the Ocha no Koji family in the future, he must meet the conditions required to become the head of the family, and the one who is responsible for guiding is Yoko.

The primary school that Maoqiu attended was the primary school affiliated to a famous private university. He could have gone on to study all the way through the affiliated junior high school and affiliated high school, but he was transferred to other schools since junior high school.That school is also an affiliated school of a famous university, and the popularity of the university is comparable to that of the previous one. The only difference is that the new school is a boys' school. "When I was in junior high school or high school, it was very easy to get addicted to sexual affairs between men and women. Those depraved people went astray during this period. We must prevent this kind of thing from happening to Maoqiu."

The above is what Yoko said at the family meeting.Everyone nodded in agreement, unanimously decided to arrange for Mao Qiu to attend a boys' school. There was also such a discussion at the meeting. "If you want him not to be fascinated by that kind of thing, it's not enough to just send him to a boys' school. Today's society is in a mess, and if you walk casually on the street, that kind of temptation is everywhere." Uncle, the oldest elder in the family.The so-called kind of thing should be a general term for sex. "That's right, the pictures of little girls in the magazines recently are almost naked." Yaozi's cousin said.

"It's not the same thing, sometimes it's published with no clothes on at all. Those kind of photos are really amazing, naked and stripped." Yaozi's cousin said with wide-eyed eyes.He is considered a younger generation in the family, and is usually looked down upon by others because of his vulgar speech, but at this time, the content of what he said is more frowning than the words. "what?" "how is this possible?" "It's true, if you don't believe me, buy this magazine and read it for yourself." "It's very possible what he said." Yaozi said in a restrained tone, "not only the sexual atmosphere, but the casual relationship between young men and women these days is really intolerable. Apart from the dirty magazines just now, the programs on TV also Makes you want to cover your eyes.”

"Yes, TV is not a good thing." Uncle agreed, "Watching too much TV will only turn people into idiots." "I always only watch NHK. Private TV stations are too boring." "Yaozi, you'd better think carefully about this." Yaozi's most trusted cousin in the family said solemnly, "After junior high school, all kinds of bad temptations abound, if you don't strictly manage his life, it will be very difficult It’s hard not to be close to ink.” Indeed, everyone nodded unanimously. "Needless to say, I will naturally train him more strictly than before. Please don't be afraid to work hard and give a lot of guidance." After finishing speaking, Yaozi bowed deeply.

After this meeting full of urgency, Yaozi's monitoring of Maoqiu has become more and more stringent since she was in junior high school, almost reaching a fever pitch.This is first reflected in the choice of route to school.To prevent bad temptations on the road, Yaozi personally inspected all the routes, and finally chose the one she thought was the safest as the route to school.She firmly forbade Mao Qiu to go home by other routes. If for some reason he could not take that route, Mao Qiu would call home and Yaozi would instruct him how to choose. Going to and from school along the same road day in and day out, Mao Qiu sometimes feels restless and wants to take another route.But he couldn't put it into action, as long as he thought about how he would be reprimanded when he was exposed in front of his mother, he couldn't take the courage anyway.As for the idea of ​​"impossible to be exposed", it never appeared in his mind, because he had disobeyed his mother's orders several times in the past, but he was not able to hide it once.In fact, Yoko's sense of smell about her son is extremely keen, and she can see through any kind of lies at a glance.

In addition, Mao Qiu does not have a wallet.Yaozi only gave him the monthly bus ticket and phone card. "Lunch is provided by the school. The purpose of going to school is to study. I don't think there will be a sudden need for money." This is Yaozi's proposition. So what do you do when you have something you want to buy?At this time, Mao Qiu has to report the truth to Yaozi, and if Yaozi judges that he can buy it, he will buy it for him.But in fact, Mao Qiu made very few requests.There are many reasons for this, such as having all the necessary things for daily life and school study, and being busy with studying, etc., but the most important reason is probably "there is nothing I want".To put it more accurately, it is "I don't know what is popular in the market at all, and I can't think of what I want." Maoqiu's understanding of society is limited to what he saw and heard on the way to school, and the information he comes into contact with is also fully controlled by Yaozi.Watch TV for one hour a day, and only NHK is allowed.In terms of books, comics and magazines are all banned, even literary books, as long as they are works of modern authors, no matter whether they are pure literature or popular literature, music is only allowed to enjoy classical music. Maoqiu knows nothing about fashion.From middle school to high school, he always wore his school uniform when he went out.And he didn't go out with friends to go out for activities, but just to visit relatives, or to attend a classical concert, and wearing a uniform would not look out of place. As for his friendships at school, due to the fact that he is still strictly controlled, there are no friends to lure him in bad ways, or indoctrinate him with messy knowledge.In fact, there are no students in the class who approach Mao Qiu at all, and everyone thinks he is weird. This sterile room-like environment remained the same until Maoqiu went to university.He majored in astronomy, and went home directly after class every day, looking at the sky through the astronomical telescope installed in his bedroom on the second floor. This is his life pattern. But during this period, he was very troubled by one thing, and that was his belated sexual awakening.He began to have nocturnal emission about once a month, but he didn't quite understand the meaning and reason of this phenomenon, and he was depressed alone in ignorance. After noticing the change in her son, Yoko gave Moaki a sex education one day after careful consideration in the living room where the altar was enshrined.Mao Qiu was sitting upright, Yaozi put a box in front of him.The ancestral books are stored in the box, which is a sex education manual in modern parlance.The content of the book has been supplemented with the development of the times, but the oldest part still uses pictures similar to ukiyo-e erotic pictures.Using these materials, Yoko calmly told Maoqiu about the body structure of men and women, the principle of pregnancy, etc. "So, my phenomenon is not sick?" Mao Qiu asked. "No. That's proof that you have the ability to have offspring." "Me and a certain woman, um, after completing what you just taught, we can have a baby, right?" "We call this process marriage. But it's too early now, when the time is right. I'll find the right one for you. Before that, you must never approach other women, understand?" "Understood." Mao Qiu replied with a straight body. It was more than ten years before he met the "suitable candidate". Mao Qiu and Yayoi were listening to the "Goddess" explaining the wedding procedures. Not long after, the venue staff came over and informed that it was time to enter the venue, and all relatives were waiting inside. "That..." Mao Qiu said. "What's up?" "What about, uh, my mother?" A look of contempt appeared on the staff's face, and it disappeared in an instant. "Ling Tang is also waiting inside." "Oh, that's it." Mao Qiu nodded helplessly and fell silent. I have something to ask, he thought to himself.There is one thing that needs to be confirmed with her no matter what. After the ceremony is over, find a free time to ask her, Mao Qiu thought. The ceremony follows the steps of a pre-god wedding.This is the tradition of the Ocha no Koji family, such as church weddings are not considered at all.Under the watchful eyes of many relatives, Mao Qiu read the oath with the bride Yayoi according to the teaching of the previous "goddess", and drank a cup of wine.
