"Let me introduce you first, I'm the head of the Sugai family. The middle-aged man first introduced himself as a person.

"Hello. ”

"I really didn't expect that my eldest brother would foster you to Zhiyuan's house and change your surname, no wonder we can't find you at all after more than ten years. On the way to the villa, the head of the Sugai family sighed.

"Big brother?" Takuhisa said suspiciously.

"Why, don't you know? My eldest brother is your father," said the middle-aged man, "and he should have held the position of governor of the house." ”

Takuhisa realized that at first he thought that this middle-aged man was his father, but he didn't expect it to be his uncle...

The news was not equal, which caused a misunderstanding, but fortunately it was not spoken, otherwise it would have been bromine.

While walking through the inner corridor of the villa, the head of the Sugai family, Takuhisa's uncle, stopped.

"I'm sorry, Takuhisa-kun, there's something to deal with, please wait a minute. He said and walked to the front.

"Hmm. ”

Takuhisa responded, looked in front of him, and realized why he stopped.

Out of nowhere, a cute little girl appeared in the hallway.

"Tomoka, why don't you sleep so late?" asked the little girl in a gentle tone, "If you don't sleep now, you won't be able to get up tomorrow?"

The little girl named Yuka looked about twelve or thirteen years old, childish and cute, with fair and tender skin, and under her curved eyebrows were crystal clear eyes, clear and clear, bright as stars, and her long hair seemed to be untidied because she had just woken up, and it was messy and cute.

She was wearing pink and white pajamas.

"I see that you are up, father, so I will come out and take a look. Also, who is that big brother?" After Tomoka answered briefly, her eyes focused on Takuhisa who was behind, and her eyes were full of curiosity, but she was a little shy, and she just whispered in the ear of the head of the Sugai family.

The head of the Sugai family first glanced at Yuka Sugai, then leaned back at Takuhisa, and then took Yuka Sugai's small white hand and led her over.

"Since Takuhisa-kun is here today, it means that you also have the desire to return to the family, so let me introduce you, my daughter, Sugai Yuka, should be your cousin according to generation. ”

"Hello, my name is Takuhisa Tsuhara, it's nice to meet you, cousin..."Takuhisa smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.

Hearing Takuhisa call himself Fingerhara, the face of the head of the Sugai family was clear and he understood something.

"Hello... Cousin Takuhisa. Sugai nodded lightly, and with her other hand she took Takuhisa's outstretched hand, and immediately released it after a few seconds. Maybe after coming into contact with this unfamiliar cousin who suddenly appeared, he was still shy in his heart, right?

"Okay, say hello, Tomoka, you go up, go to sleep. The head of the Sugai family patted Sugai on the back and signaled that she could go, and Sugai left to go up to the second floor after humming obediently.

"My second daughter, who has just entered middle school, is a little afraid of life, and she doesn't do a good job in hospitality, don't mind Tuojiujun. ”

"How could it be. Takuhisa greeted him and sat down on the couch on the first floor.

As the weather gets colder, the heater in the hall is turned on, and you can feel the heat.

"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that Zhihara had called me, you might not have been able to come in today, and the doorman would not accept anyone who didn't have an appointment, even if you were in a hurry. And if you had been a few days earlier, we might not have been there, and we would have stayed here for a few months in the middle of the New Year. The head of the Sugai family said.

"I'm really anxious, I'm sorry, I just want to know about my father. Takuhisa also reflected on it, feeling that he was a little reckless.

"News about your father..."The head of the Sugai family thought for a few seconds and continued to speak, "It has nothing to do with telling you, since the eldest brother gave up the surname Sugai, he is actually no longer a member of the Sugai family, and I have no obligation to keep it for him." ”

"Give up?" Takuhisa asked in surprise.

The head of the Sugai family nodded.

"In exchange for marrying your mother, the eldest brother decided to give up the Sugai family name and his obligation to inherit the family as the eldest son, and cut off all ties with the old man in the family. The head of the Sugai family said, "But after so many years, if he is willing to come back and admit his mistakes, the old man may forgive him and let him be surnamed Sugai again." But he didn't, the eldest brother's temper was really strong, and he just refused to admit his mistake to the old man. ”

Takuhisa listened to him talk about the events of the year without saying a word.

Now he's just a listener.

"Until the Great Hanshin Earthquake... Maybe it was the eldest brother who almost brushed shoulders with death, but the old man relented and wanted the eldest brother to send Takuhisa-kun back to the Sugai family and be raised by us. In the words of the old man, it is [how can a child without a mother grow up happily], but the eldest brother still didn't listen to him, only said that he had a solution.

Only today did I know that you had been fostered to your original home. Maybe the most dangerous place is the safest sake, we never thought of this possibility, we didn't expect the big brother he really did it. ”

The story seems to have come to an end, and it's not much different from the news I learned from Fingerhara's mother, and Takuhisa's life experience has basically been sorted out.

His father used to be a member of the Chinese community, but he gave up his Chinese identity in order to marry his mother. When he was traveling, his mother died because of the earthquake, and his father was hit and fostered him to Zhiyuan's house.

"Where is my father now?"

The origin of the background is already known, and only the last step is missing. Where is my father?

"He's in Hokkaido," said the head of the Sugai family, "and he stayed in Hokkaido after the incident, and even if we went to look for him, he wouldn't come back, just stay there and reflect on his mistakes." ”

"Why don't you come back?"

"Because your mother is from Hokkaido, the eldest brother brought the ashes back to her hometown after the cremation. The head of the Sugai family explained, "Your mother is really a very virtuous woman, but it's a pity that the old man couldn't accept the difference in status at that time, otherwise there would be no tragedy?...

Probably, right?

Takuhisa thought silently in his heart.

After knowing where his own father was, Takuhisa didn't know whether to go to him or not. He fostered himself to someone else back then, and now he sees his return, maybe he won't be happy.

"How is he doing?"

"I haven't seen each other for a year or two, and even I don't know my brother's current condition. The head of the Sugai family shook his head helplessly, "Maybe it's better for the eldest brother to be alone in silence, right?" He always felt that he was the one who made the travel proposal, but in fact, who could have predicted a natural disaster?"
