Chapter 21 Part Two, Verse 22: Cicadas on the Eighth Day (22)

"So, I went out early in the morning, wandered around the children's hall, library, and park, and then returned home in the evening. Sometimes I think about it. I feel useless. I'm like a homeless person." Takumi started crying, she took out the pacifier from the bag and let him suck it.Holding Kaoru's little hand stretched out to the pacifier: "Xiao Kaoru, you have to be good friends with our family Takumi." She made a grimace and approached Kaoru. Where did you live when you were in Tokyo?What is your husband's job?Which hospital do you go to for a health check?Where is the Children's Pavilion located?Facing this young mother who must be cheerful by nature, I really want to ask these questions.We will definitely become good friends in no time.Let Kaoru and Takumi play together, and we can have a good chat while staring at them.Talk about parenting anxiety, small complaints about family members, and exchange the latest information on children's clothing and public facilities.

That kind of thing is simply impossible. "I still have to go to the bank." I said getting up. "We'll be here tomorrow too, so give me a shout." The woman smiled carelessly, grabbed Takumi's little arm with a pacifier in it, and waved her little hand to say goodbye.I also shook Kaoru's little hand and said goodbye, Kaoru giggled. Whenever I see a housing agency, I go in and try my luck.But the attitude of the other party is equally arrogant.When I was still at work, I could easily get the other party to introduce houses as long as I handed over the company's business card——

I'm separated from my husband and I'm looking for an apartment -- My husband also works on weekends, so I am alone in charge of finding a house—— My husband will be transferred from April, so I came here first to look for a house. Everyone gave me troubled faces.Some people were even blatantly displeased, saying that most homeowners are reluctant to rent to families with babies.Not renting to families with babies?I really want to ask if this country can't even have children. But the intermediary still showed me two houses.One was a two-room apartment above the greengrocer.The other is a small suite without sunlight.The rooms above the greengrocer's shop are old but full of daylight.It's just that the other party asked to see my ID card, household registration information, and husband's employment certificate. I lied and said that I would get it tomorrow, and just left the real estate agency.

At the foreign goods store in the underground shopping mall, I bought a big coat that can wrap the whole baby.I bought weaning food, diapers, and my own bento before returning to the woman's house.The gate was unlocked.After the woman opened the paper door and realized it was me, she slammed the paper door shut.The radio was probably turned on inside the door, and enka was deafeningly loud. I wrapped Kaoru in a big coat, let her lie in the washroom, and started cleaning the bathroom.Scrub the tub thoroughly before squatting down to paint the tiles.The black mold stains in the cracks of the tiles can't be brushed off, but after washing with the shower head, at least they are no longer ashamed.I turned on the hot water faucet to the maximum, steam rose, and clear liquid gushed out.
