Chapter 412 - Take the child
Masayoshi Kishimoto appears at Makoto Natsui. As soon as he saw the omelet rice left for him on the table, his whole body became melancholy.
"In the morning, I eat omelet rice. At noon, do I have to eat again?" Kishimoto didn't take the spoon on the table, but just looked at him with his left hand on his cheek.
"I have finished serving the two little ones, and I have hurried to serve you, the big one. "Natsui Makoto has no makeup at all, and her face is plain.
Masayoshi Kishimoto has long known the hardships of raising children. That is all his perception after watching the Douban high-scoring Japanese drama "Home on the Ramp" in his previous life.
She is still alone with two children, and it is getting harder and harder. Even if there are small emotions, it is understandable. Many of these women also suffered from postpartum depression as a result.
"You've worked hard. Come on. From now on, you don't have to make me lunch again. Masayoshi Kishimoto clenched his hands into fists and cheered her on.
Natsui Makoto didn't feel a little relieved because of this, but he had another idea and said, "Now, from Monday to Friday, I can basically see you at noon every day. Aren't you coming to me for lunch, and won't I even be able to see you?"
"How so? I'll come to see you and the kids when I'm done eating out. My starting point is to lighten the burden on you. Who would make you reluctant to hire a nanny to come to your home and help you with the children?" explained Kishimoto.
Natsui Makoto realized that she was too careful. She worked hard day and night to take care of the children, and it was inevitable that she would be a little in a trance. She closed her eyes, covered her forehead with her hands, and rested her elbows on the table.
Masayoshi Kishimoto knew that he usually didn't spend the night here, so he couldn't give her a hand. In fact, he also knew that even if he spent the night here, he wouldn't be able to help.
It's not that he doesn't love her and the children, but he can't stand the children's sudden crying. It doesn't matter if you go to work tomorrow or not, or if it's the middle of the night, they will cry whenever they feel uncomfortable.
In all fairness, in the face of such an unexpected situation, he really felt that he couldn't help much. If you don't do it well, you will help more and more.
Professionally, he didn't go to the class with the children or something, but just let Natsui Makoto go to the necessary study alone.
Kishimoto Masayoshi suddenly sighed in his heart, and it is not unreasonable for Japan to have a declining birthrate. The average salaryman in Japan can work more than eight hours a day.
That's counting a few hours of overtime, and there are definitely more than ten hours a day. When you come home after a tiring day, you just think about eating, bathing, sleeping, and how much energy and physical energy you have to deal with other things?
Even if there is, it is the end of the crossbow. Therefore, it is reasonable why Japanese women have relatively high requirements for the annual income of the other half.
Only a man's salary of more than 4 million yen a year can allow his wife to take care of the children at home with peace of mind, and provide a worry-free life for a family of three or four.
Otherwise, family conflicts will erupt because the economic conditions are not sufficient. Also, many men don't go home sooner, even if they can go home early.
This is not based on the overtime culture that is unique to Japan. They just don't want to go home and help their wives with the kids. So, I would rather hide in an izakaya and drink alone than go back late.
Or just make all kinds of excuses, either overtime or meetings. Or maybe it's a drink with a client. Anyway, I just can't go back sooner.
Masayoshi Kishimoto picked up the spoon in his right hand and began to eat. Deal with it yourself, and there is still no problem at all. Even if you don't eat a lunch, it's nothing, it's all about losing weight.
Natsui Makoto opened her eyes, stood up suddenly, and said, "If you wait a little longer, I'll go and give you the next bowl of egg ramen." ”
"No need. I've eaten it all now. If you're tired, you might as well hire someone to come home. You can not let her help you with the children, but just help you with the housework.
We don't lack that money. Why do you want to exhaust yourself physically and mentally?" said Kishimoto as he ate.
"It's not a question of money or not, it's that I don't like outsiders coming into my home. Natsui Makoto said bluntly.
Masayoshi Kishimoto hesitated for a moment, and it instantly occurred to her that she was probably embarrassed to learn about the special relationship between the two of them after someone else had been working here for a long time.
Not only in Japan, but also in any country in the world, they have this kind of situation of living together without marriage and having children, and that is also something that is difficult for the mainstream people to accept.
There is no guarantee that the words that should be said and those that should not be said will be spread through the mouths of the servants, so that the rumors will spread outside. Someone can be indifferent, and someone can't stand it.
"Otherwise, I'll come to you to eat at noon. You don't have to go to the supermarket to buy groceries and come back to cook, just a phone call to order takeout.
This saves time, effort, and worry. You don't have to rush to the supermarket to buy groceries when you're still thinking about the babies at home. Kishimoto said that the two would be able to spend more time together.
Natsui Makoto sat down slowly and said, "Your proposal is not bad. I was able to accept it. At that time, don't say anything bad about it. ”
"You can specialize in haute cuisine. Kishimoto said with a smile.
"How expensive is that!" Natsui Makoto's people who save habits have not developed the habit of spending lavishly. Even if she has money, she is reluctant to spend it.
Once she spends more money that she shouldn't spend or feels that it is not worth spending, then she will feel sad, self-blaming and depressed in her heart.
"Why don't I bring lunch back after I get off work at noon?" Kishimoto said in order to enjoy his appetite.
"That's fine. "Natsui Makoto can still accept him to spend this money.
Kishimoto was immediately relieved. He was afraid that his proposal would also be rejected by her. From then on, I was only able to eat about 500 yen at noon on weekdays.
As soon as Kishimoto Masayoshi was in a good mood, his appetite was good: "Your skills in making omelet rice are getting better and better." ”
"It's just something I made in a hurry, and I can only make do with it. "It's not like Natsui Makoto hasn't eaten. She just finished her share first.
The reason why she eats alone in advance is because she is worried that the children will cry without warning. At that time, my top priority is definitely not to eat, but to coax the children. When I come back to eat after I am done, I am afraid that the meal will have already become cold and hard, and it will be difficult to eat.
"Even the omelet rice you made in a hurry is so delicious, which shows that your cooking skills have made a qualitative leap. Kishimoto did not hesitate to praise him.
