The young boss said this, took out the takoyaki and put it on a plate, then thought about it, and sprinkled it with bonito flakes like sawdust.

The temperature of the takoyaki is grilled so that the bonito flakes on top of it, which are as thin as sawdust, dance like butterflies.

Brought to Junko Hanagami.

"Here, a plate of takoyaki, drizzled with spicy tomato sauce, bonito fillet sawdust."

Looking at the takoyaki sprinkled with a large amount of bonito chips and drizzled with spicy tomato sauce in front of her, Junko Hanakami was stunned.

She looked up, and there was confusion in her eyes:

"Boss, how do you know I like to eat like this?"

Takoyaki is a specialty of Japan, and it is sold in almost many places in Japan, just like the Shaxian snacks in Huaguo, which are basically available everywhere.

Junko Hanagami likes to eat takoyaki very much, and there is a stall specializing in takoyaki on the way from her family to high school.

Every Friday when she comes home from school, she buys takoyaki to eat.

And she eats takoyaki, unlike others, she likes to pour spicy tomato sauce and let the boss add a lot of bonito fillet sawdust.

This is her unique way of eating.

She didn't understand why this takoyaki boss would know her preferences, this is Okinawa, which is far away from Arakawa Ward, and the boss is not a takoyaki boss who often eats.

The young boss glanced at Junko Hanagami, pulled out a chair at Junko Hanagami's table, and sat down.

As if talking to himself, as if to tell her, he said leisurely:

"There was a person, she was about 30 years old and in her 40s, and every day she would walk the streets, highways, vegetable markets, and alleys, holding a photo of a high school girl and asking people everywhere.

In addition to work, the most time I spend every day is holding photos and asking people.

Once, I met this man on the road.

She held the picture and asked me, 'Excuse me, have you seen this little girl?'

I looked at it and shook my head to indicate that I hadn't.

When I answered, the man's eyes were red and he looked very sad.

I thought this person would leave and ask the next one, after all, I hadn't seen the little girl in the photo, and I couldn't help this person in any way.

As a result, the person did not leave, pointed to the photo and said to me, 'If you see her, she may have no money on her, please help me buy her some food, I have money here, you can call me, I will give you more money.' ’

Later, I heard from my neighbors that this person had been looking for the person in the photo for half a year, and he had walked the whole area and repeated the words he had said to me every day when he met people.

This society itself is very bad, there are many people who are greedy for small gains, and some thugs have lied to this person that they have seen the person in this photo, and invited the person in the photo to eat, and they want to find this person to get the food money back.

This person actually knows and knows that these gangsters may be lying to her, but she is afraid that this is true, and she is also afraid that these gangsters will go out and talk nonsense, causing others to really meet the person in the photo, but because they won't give money, it is rumored that they deliberately used the person in the photo to cheat the food money.

So she gave the thugs money, hoping that someone would really meet the person in the photo and help the person in the photo eat a meal when he was hungry.

In the past six months, she has been looking for the person in the photo for a long time and spent a lot of money.

The person who has been looking for someone with a photo for half a year is the same person who told me that you like to eat takoyaki. ”

The young boss said this and pointed to the takoyaki.

"Eat it quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold, the food should be eaten while it's hot, and be careful of stomach pain if it's cold."

The tears never stopped the moment the young boss told the story.

What hunger, fatigue, complaints, anger, etc., were replaced by emotions called guilt at this moment, filling the whole body and mind of Junko Hanagami.

It seems that the grievances and sufferings suffered in the past six months have reached a critical point at this time today, and all of them have turned into tears and are all cathartic.

Tears fell from Junko Hanagami's eyes.

She cried, crying heartbreakingly, obviously the takoyaki was very spicy, but she only felt very salty, and the tears had dripped on the takoyaki at some point.

didn't care about the octopus being dripped by tears, she ate it one bite at a time, and the tears were like opening the floodgates, and she couldn't stop it or erase it.

After eating each bite of takoyaki, memories of the past came to her mind.

……

It was every morning, and Yuchiko Hanagami would get up early, make breakfast for Junko Hanagami who was lying in bed, make a lunch box for school, and go to wake Junko up.

"Junko, it's time to get up, I'm going to be late for school if I don't get out of bed."

Junko Hanagami gets up with a complaint.

I think my mom is the one who sleeps lazy.

Because every time she comes home from school, she sees her mother Hanakami Yuchiko lying on the sofa sleeping.

Because of this, she envies adults, she can sleep when she wants to, and she doesn't have to worry about others telling her to get up.

In fact.

Junko Hanakami only saw her mother wake up and ask her to get up and eat every time she got up early.

But I ignore that my mother yawns every time I get up early to make breakfast, in fact, my mother is also very sleepy, but if I don't get up early to make breakfast and lunch, my daughter will be hungry, and she will have no lunch to eat at school, and she must get up to make it.

You have to get out of bed no matter how sleepy you are.

……

That's Hanagami Yuchiko taking Hanakami Junko to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Junko Hua thinks that her mother is always picky when picking vegetables, picking very slowly, carefully selected, it takes a long time to buy a dish every time, and I have to chat with the sellers for a long time.

She was impatient and complained to her mother:

"Mom, I'm leaving, my friends are waiting for me."

Junko Hanagami only saw her mother picking vegetables slowly, and only saw her mother grinding and chirping carefully.

But he ignored why his mother was slow to pick vegetables.

Because Hanami Tomoko doesn't want to give her daughter bad dishes, she wants to cook the best dishes for her, and give her enough nutrition and health.

Junko Hanakami only saw her mother chatting with the sellers.

But he ignored the content of the chat between his mother and the seller.

"My daughter is going to take an exam, so she needs to eat better."

"My daughter won an award this time, boss, you have more good meat here, my daughter likes to eat the pork you sell here."

"Boss, your dish is not fresh, why does it smell like pesticides, children won't get sick if they eat it."

……

It was Junko Hanagami who came home late after playing with friends and classmates.

After entering the door, Yuchiko Hanae asked her.

"Why did you hang me?"

Faced with questioning, Junko Hanakami choked and said, "I've already rushed home, haven't I?" ”

"What time is it, and it's called rushing home?"

"I'm at home right now, or else?"

The attitude of her daughter's tantrum was echoed by Tomoko Hanagami: "I'm in a hurry! How do I know if you hang up on me, you have to at least tell me. ”

Hanajo Yuchiko's words, but in exchange for Hanakami Junko's greater anger.

"Mom! You're going to give me a little bit of my own space! ”

She was very angry that her mother kept calling her when she was playing with her friends and telling her to hurry home, she felt that it was a shame in front of her friends, and she would think she was a child.

She felt that she was already a high school student, her mother should not do this, she was no longer a child, and she didn't have to be afraid of bad people.

But she never thought that Yuchiko Hanagami called her just to relate to her, afraid that something would happen to her when she came home so late.

In the quarrel again and again.

Junko Hanagami couldn't hold back anymore in the last quarrel and ran away from home.
