At dusk the next day, Kako Kitagawa, who returned home from a part-time job, brought back not food, but all exercise books about some kindergartens to famous elementary schools. She didn't rush to make dinner for the big and small as soon as she returned home on weekdays, and solemnly called Takeshita Kusaoji and her daughter to the living room because there was something important to announce to the two.

As soon as I saw that the glass coffee table was full of Takeshita grass mustard books for her daughter's college entrance examination, the first reaction at the moment was that Kitagawa Kako was real, not just finished talking as in the past. He sat on top of the couch, his hands crossed over his chest, waiting for her to speak without saying a word. And Miyuki Kitagawa, who also realized that the atmosphere was not right today, also strongly felt that her mother was completely different from usual. So, I didn't dare to make a mistake, and honestly sat in a row with my father.

Kako Kitagawa, who was standing opposite them, said seriously: "Last night, I stayed up all night, thinking about it over and over again. If we don't hurry up now, we will miss the great opportunity and let Miyuki lose at the starting line of further education. This morning, I called Chie and asked her to sign up for Miyuki in Shinjuku Ward for the best private school training class for kindergarten to elementary school where classes are held all day every Saturday. In this way, it will not delay Miyuki to go to Sakurai-sensei's study every Sunday. ”

After a pause, her attention was still focused on them, she cleared her throat and continued: "Also, from tomorrow, I will no longer go out to work part-time. For more than a year, I have to be a stay-at-home mom to urge Miyuki to study hard until she is admitted to Waseda Elementary School. In addition, after returning home from kindergarten from Monday to Friday, Miyuki is not allowed to watch cartoons anymore. Study for one hour first, then two hours after meals, and no less than three hours a day at home. If you can't complete your study tasks, you're not allowed to sleep. ”

After listening to her mother's decision to deprive herself of almost all the fun and playtime of the new rules, Miyuki Kitagawa certainly didn't do it. Angry, she directly expressed her protest: "Don't do it, resolutely don't do it." Bad mom, bad mom. ”

"Don't do it, I won't give you food. Don't try to ask for help from Takeshita-kun. I'll make it clear to you, no one can do it for you. In order for you to have a good future in the future, your mother doesn't even do work, but accompanies you to study hard and be admitted to a prestigious school smoothly. Now, if you can't even suffer this bit, then when you become an adult, you will suffer even more, even for the rest of your life. Kitagawa Kako, who had made up her mind, had no room for negotiation at all, and pointed at her with her right index finger and said very seriously.

Moved his little body to the side, and threw himself directly into Takeshita Kusaoke's arms is Kitagawa Miyuki, who cried "Wow, wow, wow", and the only person who can ask for help and make her mother change her mind is him. He raised his head suddenly, looked at him with teary eyes, his hands were constantly pulling his clothes, and muttered: "Dad, you see that Mom is so unreasonable." From now on, in addition to eating and sleeping, I will study, study, and study again. I don't even have time to play for a while. I'm really pathetic. ”

Scratching his head with his right hand, he felt that the matter in front of him was really tricky, and it was really not difficult to do, but it couldn't be done. I can't realize that Kako Kitagawa is looking forward to becoming a phoenix? For everything she has done to Miyuki, there is no reproach and no reproach, after all, many Japanese mothers have long been starting to do it, sparing no effort to enroll their children in various private schools and cram schools for prestigious schools. There is a Japanese proverb that says "four up, five down", which means that a child who sleeps for four hours will be admitted to a prestigious school, while a child who sleeps for five hours will be dismissed. Don't think this is an exaggeration, but it is the truest portrayal of Japanese society.

In Japan, all kinds of exams are accompanied by a child's growth, and Japan's golden job bowl and high income often correspond to whether a person has a high degree from a prestigious school. Even in a profession with a stable income and good benefits, such as civil servants, most of them are mostly done by graduates of prestigious universities. Not to mention lawyers, doctors, architects, accountants......

It is under this kind of high-intensity pressure that if a person wants to be respected and live a nourishing and decent life, he has to put in more effort and hard work, but in fact, out of this bottom-up selection ladder, the majority of ordinary people at the bottom of the society, no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to change the fate of their poor and busy people and low income. There is no future and no hope in sight, but it is more terrible and desperate than being tired and tired. Otherwise, Japan would not have the highest number of suicides and the highest number of deaths from overwork in the world every year.

Therefore, Kako Kitagawa has the most personal experience, and naturally doesn't want her daughter to follow her old path. In the past, I had to be busy supporting my family, and if I didn't work, I had no food, and there was no way. Now, she doesn't have to worry about her livelihood at all, after all, she doesn't charge for the room and board of Takeshita grass mustard, and he hands over the household to himself on time every month.

Kitagawa Kako, who couldn't shirk it, originally thought that she would save it for him. Now, for the sake of her daughter, she has to be cheeky to spend his money. This is not the 50,000 yen a month that used to be. With Takeshita Kusaokei going smoothly all the way, his career is thriving, and he has been consciously and voluntarily increased to ten times as much as in the past, 500,000 yen per month. And that's not even counting the extra money he spends on Miyuki.

For a family of three, with 500,000 yen a month, not only can you live well, but also belong to the upper average family living standard. Of course, it is not difficult for their family to live a high-level affluent life, after all, Takeshita Kusaoke's annual income is more than enough to maintain such expenses.

Kitagawa Kako, who knows her embarrassing identity, is called a family member by Takeshita Kusaoke, but in fact she is not even a lover. Even if he is not his wife, just a girlfriend, he can spend his money without any obstacles in his heart.

What's more, today's young Japanese people will choose to get married unless they want to have children. Otherwise, you can always maintain a cohabitation relationship, after all, Miyuki is not himself and his child, and if he doesn't marry him, there's nothing wrong with living like this. However, he does have the idea of becoming his girlfriend, but he may not have the same meaning as himself.

"Miyuki, good, don't cry. This time, I listened to my mother. The better you do, the more Dad will reward you. French feast, the latest and most beautiful costumes, all kinds of toys, domestic and foreign travel...... Whatever you want, you can be satisfied. In order to dispel her resistance, Takeshita Grass Mustard used a material reward that has been tried and tested a hundred times and will not be rejected by anyone.
