A cute face of a primary school student appeared on the phone screen.
Her big eyes were filled with innocence and sparkling water. The moment she saw Reiko Onodera, she felt uncontrollable joy.
Equally happy was Mrs. Onodera.
The moment he saw his daughter, his eyes seemed to be shining with tears. If there was no other way, then who would think of coming to Tokyo alone?
Taking a deep breath, Onodera Reiko tried to calm her excitement and smiled warmly at the phone screen.
"Lixiang, have you been obedient these past two days?"
The voice was still somewhat trembling, but the other person was just a little girl.
"have!"
Soon, a sweet voice came from the phone screen, and Onodera Rika looked very energetic.
"Mom, when will you come back to see me?"
The little girl's sweet words made Onodera Reiko choke up. Kasuga Youran seemed to be able to hear the heavy breathing of the wife next to her.
Leaving her daughter's side for the first time made it even more difficult for the wife, who was already weak and sensitive, to adapt. At the same time, she was determined to take her daughter over if she had the opportunity in the future.
"Well, mom will go back to see you in a while. You have to listen to your grandma at home. Study hard, do you hear me?"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely be good."
The little girl in the video nodded her head vigorously, with her cute little head in two ponytails, just like the Q version of Reiko Onodera.
The mother and daughter were chatting there, mostly Onodera Rika telling her wife about the interesting things that had happened to her these days.
However, what can primary school students have?
It’s nothing more than playing house with a child today, and watching TV with a child at home tomorrow.
A simple and innocent topic, when it falls into my wife's ears, it becomes the most beautiful story in the world.
Even Kasuga Youran became interested. She pricked up her ears and listened to Onodera Rika talking about her childhood. A small dirt pit can keep a primary school student playing for an entire afternoon.
"Mom, who is that person next to you?"
Suddenly, Onodera Rika blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
The person next to you?
Haruhi was stunned for a moment, then looked over and found that half of his arm could be seen above his wife's small window.
"It's the big brother who lives with me!"
Onodera Reiko smiled and replied,
However, the wife did not turn the camera around, without Kasuga's consent, and she didn't know if the landlord liked it.
My wife is very careful and considerate about everything she does with others.
Seeing this, Kasuga Youran leaned her head over and said hello with a smile, "Hello, Rika."
Since the little girl is going to be picked up by Mrs. Onodera on her birthday, it is necessary to establish a good relationship in advance.
Originally, Haruhi was a little worried about how to get to know each other, but now, the opportunity has come.
Onodera Reiko was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Kasuga would come directly to her.
"Hello!"
Onodera Rika said sweetly, and the little girl looked very lively.
"Rika, you call her Brother Kasuga."
Onodera Reiko also reacted, moved the camera to Kasuga, and introduced her daughter.
"Hmm, hello, Brother Haruhi!"
The little girl said something sweet again, looking very excited.
Kasuga Youran also bared her teeth and had a good relationship with the children.
"Rika, how old are you this year?"
It's a very cliché way to start, but Kasuga Youran really has no experience in dealing with little girls.
If the other person is a young girl, then the boy's lexicon of emotional intelligence will definitely be rich. Unfortunately, the other person is a primary school student.
Is it possible that we are asking to play games together?
I'm afraid the lady next to me won't let him go easily.
"I'm nine years old!"
Onodera Rika said sweetly,
She showed a sweet smile and loved to laugh so much. She must be a sweet girl when she grows up.
"If you are nine years old, did you finish your homework well tonight?"
After racking her brains, Kasuga Youran didn't know what topics she and the nine-year-old primary school student could have in common.
"Hey, I've finished writing!" Onodera Rika said proudly, "I'm almost going to sleep! I've finished writing a long time ago!"
He said it as if he was asking for credit,
"Mom, am I awesome!"
One sentence made both of them laugh. The little girl is as big as a brat.
"Awesome, awesome, our Lixiang is the best."
The wife also smiled and praised.
Haruhi laughed twice and continued, "When Rika comes to Tokyo next time, I will take you to the amusement park."
"Yeah!"
As soon as she heard that she could go to the amusement park to play, the little girl became very excited and couldn't help but raise her little hand holding the phone.
Seeing the two chatting happily, Onodera Reiko couldn't help but smile and said, "Why don't you thank your brother Kasuga quickly?"
"Thank you, Brother Kasuga!"
Onodera Rika said obediently.
After chatting with the little girl about her school for a while, Haruhi stopped abruptly, leaving more time for the mother and daughter.
"That's it for today, Rika-chan, see you next time."
"Yeah, brother Haruhi, see you next time!"
Onodera Rika stretched out her two little hands in the camera lens and said goodbye to Haruhi.
Smiling at his wife, Kasuga leisurely went to take a bath in the bathroom on the first floor.
The moon and stars are sparse, and the weather seems to be particularly beautiful tonight. A few stars are faintly twinkling in the dark night.
When Kasuga leisurely walked out of the bathroom, Onodera Reiko happened to hang up the video call with her daughter.
Wiping her hair with a towel, she pushed the barbecue lying on one side of the wife to the other side. Her round body was like an oval rugby ball.
However, the football was a little wet, so it only rolled twice on the sofa and then lay there.
"Meow....."
Roast Barbecue meowed in dissatisfaction. He didn't know whether he was sulking or too lazy to move, but he just lay down on the spot, twisting his little tail to cover his shy area.
Ignoring it, Kasuga smiled leisurely at the wife next to her and said,
"Sister Reiko, why don't you bring Rika to Tokyo to live together?"
Hearing these words, Onodera Reiko put away her phone and sighed softly,
"I don't have the ability to take care of Rika alone in Tokyo right now. Rather than leaving Rika alone in Tokyo without a playmate, it would be better for her to be happy in the village. With my mother taking care of her, I can rest assured."
His voice was a little low, as if he was blaming himself.
When Chunri heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head. She unconsciously put her arms around his wife's tender shoulders and comforted her softly,
"It's okay, it will definitely get better and better in the future."
Onodera Reiko leaned on Haruhi's shoulder. It was obvious that the two had only known each other for about a week, and the boy was still so young, but I don't know why, but he gave his wife a very reassuring feeling.
Maybe he was given free shelter and food when he only had 500 yen left?
Or...buy yourself a suitable nightgown? An apron?
I don’t know, although the time was short, but after Onodera Reiko came to Tokyo, she stood up and extended a helping hand at the most confused and helpless moment. This has nothing to do with age...,
"My hometown is in Muhai Fishing Ground. The village relies on breeding and fishing for a living, but every family has enough hands. However, there are only three women in our family. Without the help of men, there is no way to survive. Without access to the sea, my mother relied on selling specialties to tourists, and the family could barely survive..."
It seems that she is a little sad. Tonight, Onodera Reiko wants to say more, while Kasuga leisurely listens quietly next to her.
"However, our place is not a tourist attraction. There are only so many trips every day. It is completely fine with my mother alone. Then, I thought about coming to a big city to see if there are more opportunities to make money. As a result, After I came here, I realized that without academic qualifications, I couldn’t do anything..."
As he spoke, the wife looked very disappointed. Haruhi sighed leisurely and comforted her,
"It's okay, it's fine now."
Onodera Reiko turned to look at Haruhi, her red mouth slightly opened,
"Thank you, Haruhi."
After saying that, the wife took the initiative to put her arms around Chunri Youran's neck, and actively gave her a fragrant kiss.
This is the first time my wife has taken such initiative.
It's sweet, soft and delicious.
Yes, it’s good now. You basically don’t have to pay for food and housing. The two most expensive items in life have been solved. As long as the wife doesn’t buy things randomly or spend money randomly, that’s what she can save in a month. The number will be considerable.
It’s not that the salary is high, it’s that the money spent is low.
For the wife, everything is already very satisfying.
After kissing her, Kasuga's leisurely big hands pulled the sling aside. This child, Lixiang, would definitely not be short of food when she was a child.
The nutrition is so good, but now I am tasting it leisurely in spring.
