Chapter 123: The Interview (Part I)
Just days after Takeshita Kusashi and Sakai Chie flew from Narita International Airport to Dublin, Ireland, Miyuki Kitagawa, who was neatly dressed, was led by her mother to an interview at Waseda Elementary School. They went out early and arrived at Waseda Elementary School half an hour early, and at the same time returned the admission ticket at the school gate, they also received a required form and a signature pen. Then, after being told by a young female teacher and guided by directions, the mother and daughter walked slowly for a while, and arrived in a classroom where they sat down and waited.
Kitagawa Kako saw that other people's families of three not only came, but also showed more or less nervousness on their faces, so they couldn't help but recall the scene and the atmosphere they felt at Sakurai-sensei. Affected by this specific tense atmosphere, the tension in her heart has increased a lot. For myself, I naturally hope that my daughter can successfully pass the interview at Waseda Elementary School and successfully enter the school. On the first day, she went to one of the most powerful temples in Tokyo to pray for Miyuki's blessings.
At the same time, of course, Kitagawa Kako also knows that these children who can pass the written test and participate in the interview will be much worse than others in terms of IQ. I have long known that in this so-called interview, the school is not only looking at the children, but more importantly, the parents.
has long been told by various training classes and teachers of private schools that other parents who are Menqing like her must also attach great importance to it. None of them want to pull their children back because of personal negligence. It would be a shame if you were not able to be admitted because of this.
As a result, every father present was dressed in the best dark suit and tie that they were reluctant to wear on weekdays, and the pair of black high-end leather shoes on their feet had long been wiped back and shiny by his wife over and over again. As for the mothers who are as careful as dust, they all pay attention to the light makeup of the current occasion on their faces, and the clothes are also very decent, and there will never be any hip-hop style that one person wears, which is not mainstream and shows personality......
Kako Kitagawa, who was sitting in a chair, put the form in her left hand on the desk in front of her. As soon as she saw it, she saw that she was not only required to truthfully fill in the child's name, age, gender, specialty, name of the kindergarten she graduated from and other basic information, but also the name of the parents, age, occupation, education, and the school they graduated from...... Although I had known that the school would have such a request, I still felt that it was tantamount to a household registration survey of a family.
Kitagawa Kako, who did not hesitate to fill in the basic information of her daughter and herself, hesitated in the father's column and did not write for a long time. She knows very well that Takeshita Kusaoji is not only not Miyuki's biological father, but also has not established a legal substantive father-daughter relationship with her daughter. If the school investigates that her report is not true, it will also determine that she is dishonest and thus implicate her daughter. At that time, Miyuki was not admitted to Waseda Elementary School, but it was justifiable, and no one was to blame, but only to blame her, the one who was a mother.
Twenty minutes or so later, a tall, thin young female teacher walked into the classroom without hurrying. Standing on the podium, she looked down and smiled: "Parents, please hand in the completed form." Soon after these words, the parents were in good order and handed over their completed forms to the podium one after another.
After looking at her watch, the young female teacher, who stayed for a while, put and sorted out the forms handed in by the parents, and on the other hand, she left to prompt: "Didn't any parents give me the forms?" ”
"Mom, Mom, Mom, you should hurry up and hand in the form! The teachers are leaving. Miyuki Kitagawa, who grabbed one of her mother's arms with both hands, shook vigorously on one side, and suddenly urged on the other.
Kitagawa Kako, who had recovered from her trance, took the initiative to get up, picked up the form with her left hand and walked straight to the podium, and handed it to the young female teacher. The young female teacher, who took the form and glanced at it a little, saw that the column of her father's information on the form paper was completely blank, but she didn't say anything. I put it together with the other forms, turned around and walked out of the classroom.
Kitagawa Kako, who returned to the seat and sat down, was still worried in her heart, and the only information that could add points to her daughter was in the specialty column, and she truthfully filled in Miyuki's study of dance and piano from Hitomi Sakurai. As for the rest, it's already a blessing not to subtract points. Even if you lose points, don't reduce it too much, after all, her resume is too mediocre. What's more, the information in the column of the daughter's father is still completely blank. Not to mention others, even when she herself sees such a table with incomplete information and few highlights, she will be greatly discounted in her heart.
At the same time, Kitagawa Kako also felt that the people in the classroom treated their mother and daughter as aliens from the beginning, after all, everyone else came to the interview as a family of three, and they were two people. Knowing that the Japanese have a strong overall concept, they are not social, and they are often easy to be rejected and criticized if they are different, so she can't help but show her embarrassment.
"For such an important interview, why didn't your husband accompany you and your children?" A plump mother sitting on the left side of Kako Kitagawa finally couldn't help but ask curiously.
"My dad went abroad. So, he couldn't accompany me and my mom to the interview. Blinking, Miyuki Kitagawa, who was staring at the other party, opened her mouth before her mother spoke. She is not only seeking truth from facts, but also showing that she has a father, not without a father.
"Even if you go on a business trip, you can't accompany your child to an interview at Waseda Elementary School. What's more, if you explain this kind of thing clearly to your boss in advance, you will be fully understood and understood, and you can just change someone else. My husband wasn't going to South Korea on business. Now, he's not here yet. The implication of the fat woman is that you don't have a husband, or your husband's boss is an unkind bastard.
"What company does your husband work for? Such unreasonableness has to make people angry. If this kind of thing is left in that company, it will be allowed by the boss. I really didn't expect that there would be such a person in Japan who is not a thing. Another mother, who was sitting on the right side of Kitagawa Kako, interjected indignantly.
