Chapter 108: The Miser

When I received a call from Chie Sakai and learned that her novel "Heart" had won the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, Takeshita Kusake, I didn't feel too excited, after all, the original writer was not himself, but just benefited from the only resources he monopolized. On the same day, he used another pen name and won the Newcomer Award of a small publishing house for his genuinely original work.

In contrast, Takeshita Kusaoji is immersed in the joy of the newcomer award. I know very well that there are not only a lot of literary awards such as this so-called newcomer award in Japan every year, but also lack authority. In fact, this is an activity organized by small and medium-sized publishing houses and other companies for their own survival and development, and the purpose is to select and sign contributors with certain ability, potential and market demand from a large number of contestants.

Although the fame and income brought to Takeshita Mustard by this award itself is negligible and completely negligible, it has given him a great encouragement and affirmation. After all, to a certain extent, what you write is not just a pile of worthless garbage, but still has a little merit.

Takeshita Kusaoke, who walked out of the house, first met with Kitagawa mother and daughter at the door of the ramen shop, and then it didn't take long for Chie Sakai, who ran the president of Maserati, to come. Pushing the car door and getting out of the car, her good mood was revealed through her face: "Takeshita-kun, what kind of big dish are you going to treat the three of us beauties to eat tonight?" ”

Leaning sideways, the thumb of his right hand is Takeshita Kusaoke, who is pointing in the direction of the entrance of the ramen shop, and he smiled and said, "Just eat this." ”

Chie Sakai, who knew that he was joking, shifted her attention from him to Miyuki Kitagawa and said angrily: "Look how slamming your father is, far surpassing the four misers in European literature, Sherlock, Grande, Abagon, and Pryuskin." Hum...... Got a prize of 100,000 euros and just invited us to eat ramen. ”

"Be content! I didn't ask you to eat crows like Grandet. It is natural to think of Balzac's book "Eugenie Grande", which has a plot in Takeshita Kusaoke, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, and sighed.

"If you have the ability to cook crows for me, then I will eat them in front of you. To be honest, I haven't really eaten crow meat, and I don't know what it tastes like. If you think about it, you might as well give it a try. Sakai Chie, who pulled the back seat door open, beckoned Kitagawa's mother and daughter to get into the car with her right hand, and on the other hand, she unconsciously argued with him.

Miyuki Kitagawa, who was the first to get into the car, was very happy, after all, she could eat delicious food with her father tonight. She was beginning to struggle with her heart, and she couldn't decide whether to go to French food, Italian food, high-end local food, or high-end Chinese food...... Thinking about it to himself, the inside of his mouth couldn't help but reflexively accelerate the saliva secretion.

At the same time, Kako Kitagawa who was also sitting in the back seat of the car, and could she not know that on such a happy day, Sakai Chie said that she was going to eat the sukiyaki pot she made herself, but it was just talking. If they really eat dinner at home, they will be really stingy.

Sakai Chie, who was the last to get into the back seat of the car, closed the door with a "bang", put down the glass window, and popped out half of her head to the standing Takeshita Kusaka is smile outside: "Open the way." ”

Shaking his head with a smile, he got into the driver's seat, closed the door, and started the car. With his hands on the steering wheel, he did not say anything about dinner, but deeply understood the most simple truth, that he was a man who paid for them.

"Cutie, what do you want to eat? We're going to eat some big dishes. Anyway, can't save your dad money tonight. "Chie Sakai, who doesn't care about what she eats at all, can be said to have eaten everything. I enjoy the joy of sharing success with them, not the word "eat".

Miyuki Kitagawa, who is full of contradictions in her heart, and Pantuo debuts: "I want to eat French baked snails, Italian tiramisu, teppanyaki Kobe beef, and Chinese sweet and sour pork ribs." ”

"It's not going to be easy for you to do this." Chie Sakai, who understands that little girls want everything, just smiled lightly.

"Your Royal Highness, your request is really enough, but it is not practical at all. You only care about what you want to eat, but you never think about what your dad wants to eat? We're celebrating him, not you. Once you've been admitted to Waseda Elementary School, you'll be able to eat whatever you want. Kako Kitagawa, who talked to her daughter as one, didn't smile.

"How are you preparing for the cutie to go to Waseda Elementary School for the exam?" Suddenly interjecting from the question of eating, Sakai Chie, who entered this one business, asked with concern.

"I took three mock exams in the private school training class and one mock interview. In the three mock exams, Miyuki not only ranked in the top three, but also exceeded the admission score by more than ten points. She played at a normal level, but it wasn't a big problem. I'm most worried about interviews right now. The person in charge told us these parents in person, such as Waseda, a famous Japanese school, although it is said that they do not look at the family background of middle school students, the education level of their parents, the family income and a series of most practical things, but secretly they still attach great importance to it. Besides, you don't know that not only am I a high school graduate, but I also attended a very poor high school. If I drag Miyuki back because of this, it will make me feel guilty about my daughter for the rest of my life. "1510 said that Kitagawa Kako, mixed feelings.

"Kako, don't worry too much. As long as the cutie can pass the admission score of Waseda Elementary School, then the next interview will be easy to do. As long as Takeshita-kun can accompany your mother and daughter to the interview, it is guaranteed to be stable. "I still know that the interview at Waseda Elementary School is not a formality, but a real brush off candidates every year, Chie Sakai, who understands her mood of walking a tightrope on the cliff.
