Chapter 27: Motivation
Time is always passed unconsciously.
Urbanization is getting faster and faster, and you can still see the starry sky at night, but in the end, it is difficult to find even a star, and you can only see the lonely moon still hanging on it.
Before she knew it, Sasha had also reached the age of going to school, and under Chiyo Yume's introduction, Sasha took classes at a nearby school, which was not far from their home, and only needed to walk for half an hour.
Every time I go to school, I see a bunch of elderly women picking up and dropping off their children there, and there is only one man, Asakura Ha, who always feels embarrassed to stand in the crowd inside.
At first, they didn't know Asakura Ha's age, thinking that he was just a junior high school or high school student who picked up and dropped off his sister, and praised him for knowing how to take care of his sister at home at a young age.
But when he learned that Ma Cangye is also a parent, he is still unemployed at home, and he is being raised by his wife, the original praise turned into a sharp blade, again and again, deeply piercing his body and tearing his self-esteem.
Urbanization has brought a lot of job opportunities, and in the past few years, Asakura has also secretly tried to find a job, wanting to be a man who can support his family.
But his physical defects have become the reason for the other party to shake his head and refuse.
The good thing is to look at employment opportunities and at the same time drive population flow.
The influx of people into the town, which was beginning to urbanize, and the fact that society began to value women.
The women who originally picked up their children to and from school occasionally appeared one or two men, which also made those women who were snarky and always like to gossip about others become quieter, so that they would not gather around as before, ignoring Asakuraha's feelings, and pointing fingers at him for eating soft rice.
Knowing that time is gone, if you don't record the good things in time, then when you get old, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recall that happy memory. Asakura bought a camera, and he always likes to take pictures of his family's good times and keep them in a photo album.
The relationship between Asakura and Lisa has also been sublimated during this time, at least Lisa will not ask Asakura Ye to sleep in the guest room, but let him sleep in the master bedroom with him, of course, this is Lisa after Asakura Ye died and grinded, and she had to make concessions.
Although the two slept together, the two of them seemed to have a heart, and they never crossed the middle. It was as if there was a sea in the middle of the double bed, and the two stood on the shore looking at each other on the other side.
The days are so boring, there are no special things, and there are no special people.
Seven years passed.
Asakura Ye went to the school to pick up Sasha as usual.
When I came to the school gate, I said hello to the parents of other children who had already met him, and chatted for a while about the recent events, the children's academic performance, and some boring household routines.
When the school bell rang, Sasha ran quickly from a distance, and without making a sound, she jumped directly onto Ma Cangye's body, and she climbed onto his shoulders at once, grabbing his hair with both hands so as not to fall off.
Asakura Ye hurriedly gripped Sasha's feet tightly to prevent her center of gravity from falling unsteadily.
Sasha greeted the adults standing beside Asakuraha, "Hello uncles and aunts. ”
"Sasha is still as alive as ever. ”
"What an energetic child. ”
"If only my child had half as active as her. ”
"Ah Ye, you will be eaten to death by children like this. ”
"I really don't have any tutors. ”
.....
The adults next to him greeted Sasha and spoke at the same time. There are envy, praise, ridicule Macang leaves, comparison with their own children, and some sporadic whispered curses.
Just then, a woman with short blue hair walked over, she pushed her glasses, and glared at Sasha who was riding on Makura Ye, who was trembling slightly, and finally slowly climbed down.
She's Sasha's homeroom teacher, but Asakura Ha has never heard her name, just knows that people call her Miyamoto-sensei.
The head teacher looked at Sasha who came down and sighed, "Mr. Asakura, you really spoil your daughter so much." ”
"It's okay. Kids. ”
Looking at Asakura Ye's indifferent attitude, the head teacher stared at him sharply, "Over-spoiling will only hurt her in the end, if you really care about the child's growth, please don't always use the child as an excuse that the child is too young." ”
"Yes. Like a child who has done something wrong, he stands in front of a stern adult and nods his head with a frightened face.
The head teacher looked at him like this and didn't continue to say anything, after all, this was his family affair, and as an outsider, she couldn't manage it so much. She just took out a piece of paper from the file folder in her arms and handed it to Ma Cangye and the other parents, "In two months, the school will hold a sports day." I hope that when the time comes, parents can come to the school to cheer for their children. ”
She took the paper handed over by the head teacher, and the content on it was the same as what she said, except that the number of parents who could arrive was filled in below, so that the school could prepare for the welcome in advance.
After putting away the school's notice paper, Sasha and Asakura went home together.
On the way home, I didn't see Sasha's usual activity, but absentmindedly kicked the gravel on the side of the road.
Seeing that her daughter was worried about her being bullied at school or being targeted by other classmates, Asakura Ye asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”
After a moment of silence, Sasha spoke, "Daddy." After the sports day, it will be my birthday in another week. ”
Knowing that it wasn't what she thought, Asakura Ye breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her head, and teased, "The birthday hasn't arrived yet, so you want a birthday gift?"
"It's not a birthday present. Sasha puffed out her cheeks and shook her head vigorously, "I wonder if Mommy will celebrate our birthday with us?"
Sasha's question made Asakura Ye not know how to answer.
Lisa never celebrated Sasha's birthday with him except for Sasha's first and second birthdays, although she would buy gifts for Sasha and give Asakura a sum of money.
Seeing that Asakura Ye didn't mean to answer, Sasha's eyes were filled with tears, "Can't you?"
"Not really. Asakura Ha hurriedly said, "I'll talk to Lisa." She'll definitely make time for us to celebrate Sasha's birthday together. ”
"Really. After hearing this, Sasha danced on the road, suddenly stopped, and said to Ma Cangye with anticipation, "Dad, on my birthday, I want to go to the water park." ”
I thought Sasha wanted to celebrate her birthday with her parents, but when she learned that she wanted the three of them to go to the water park together, she looked at her for some reason. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that he had heard other parents say in recent days that the town's water park had added some new facilities, and there were many parent-child facilities that allowed adults and children to play together.
"You. Wouldn't Daddy come with you? ”
"But people say it's more fun to play together as a family. ”
remembered that in order to support this family in the past few years, Lisa basically did not interact with Sasha much except for eating. Worried that there would be cracks in the relationship between Sasha and Lisa, Asakura Ye asked worriedly, "What does Sasha think of her mother?"
"Mom?..." was suddenly asked by Asakura Ye, Sasha hesitated for a long time, and finally said nothing.
Sasha's silence made Ma Cangye more convinced of his guess, and in order not to let the worried things happen, Ma Cangye said energetically, "Dad will definitely let Mom accompany us to the water park to play." ”
Although I don't know why my father is suddenly so enthusiastic, when she heard that she could play together as a family, Sasha nodded expectantly.
