Twelve - Yakumo Azusa for job hunting

"How can such a young child come out and look for a job? What about your parents?"

"Hahaha, little girl, you really know how to joke! Don't play any more adults, come back when you're older!"

"Don't say I look down on you, but you are so young and a girl, how can you survive a long time of work?"

As he ran around, time passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was noon when the sun was overhead.

Since I went out early in the morning, I have run back and forth to more than a dozen stores, but so far there is still no store manager willing to admit Yakumo Zi.

"Why don't you go to the orphanage?"

Most people, when they hear the request for a job, subconsciously take this as a joke, smile and send Yakumo Azusa out of the store, and maybe pat her little head and hand her some gadgets or something, but this is not what she really needs.

Of course, there are still a small number of people who are willing to hear the last.

Coming out to find a job in order to support his younger brother and himself sounds great, but when he hears the end, others inevitably ask this sentence after all.

If the situation is really so serious, then ask the adults and the government for help! Even if you are sent to an orphanage, you will not necessarily be separated, so why do you have to insist on finding a job on your own and have to endure hardships?

For others, Yakumo's actions are incredible and incomprehensible.

Every time Yakumo Azusa hears such remarks, she usually just smiles and politely declines the other party's suggestion, and then turns away without looking back, if the other party can't let her go with kindness, regardless of if she wants to catch up, then she simply runs around the street a few times until she dumps the other party before going to the next store to ask.

Of course, she didn't know what others thought of her.

If they are sent to an orphanage, in the best case, the three of them will not only not have to be separated, but will even be able to live happily without worrying about food and drink until they grow up.

Just what if?

What if the orphanage could only take in one or two of the three of them because of financial problems? What if, after living in an orphanage for a while, someone suddenly comes and asks to adopt one or both of them?

Children's opinions are often not taken seriously by adults.

In their view, most of the children's persistence is nothing more than coquettishness and senseless tantrums.

Feeling pain apart from friends? It doesn't matter, just wait until you meet new people and forget about it.

Want to stay with your brother? Don't say anything willful, aren't you unrelated by blood? And we can't afford to raise two children in our family, so let's wait until you grow up to see each other.

It is almost conceivable that if the three of them were sent to an orphanage, what kind of situation they would encounter and what kind of speech they would hear under the worst-case scenario

Even if she was stubborn or playful, even if there was only a one-tenth risk that the three of them would be separated, Yakumo Azusa didn't plan to take the risk.

Whether things are important or not, the parties have the final say, and no one can be allowed to intervene.

For her, the only thing that matters in this world is Ruoxiwan, Ji You, and Ji Yuehua, her younger brother

"Well, it's time to cheer up!"

Slapping his cheek hard, Yakumo Azusa slowly straightened up from the ground in the back alley.

Just now, in order to escape the enthusiastic aunt, I came to this kind of place after walking around the street.

It's not like you don't know the way back, but where is it? Regarding this point, even Yakumo Zi himself has no bottom in his heart, only knowing that this place has deviated from the central avenue and the left and right side roads.

In the final analysis, this Qinglan District is too big to be a place that children can walk through. Not to mention, unlike Ruoxi Wan, who was born here, Yakumo Zi has not been in Qinglan District for many years, and she herself is still the type who rarely goes out, and her usual range of activities is limited to the place where she can buy daily necessities and ingredients.

I spent a lot of time walking with Ruoxiwan, but I usually didn't go too far from home, and I stopped after meeting Ji Yuehua, and the farthest I walked was to the field in the suburbs.

There are only two times in her life, the first time in the history of going far away, from the place where she was born to the Qinglan area, when her parents had just died, but she met Ruoxi Wan, who had an intuition that told her that she could be a friend of Ji for a lifetime. The second time, it was with Ruoxi Wan, because of boredom, they walked directly to the field, and then on that day, they met the lost Ji Yuehua in the field and picked him up, which is now the baby brother.

As long as you have traveled the road once, you can remember that the premise is that you must first walk this road!

"Well, since I just left Central Avenue, I walked three hundred and sixty-one steps along the street to the northwest, then knocked on the door along a straight road to apply for a job, and then walked sixty-five steps to the east, and then in order to get rid of an uncle, I thought about it, I should have run a street north first, and then ran back to the west for about three hundred to four hundred steps, and finally walked more than two hundred steps south along the shops on the street to find a job, and then ran about five streets in a straight line to the east in order to get rid of the aunt just now and got into this back alley. In that case, I should be in the northeast area of my home right now, right?"

With the memory in my head, I quickly sorted out my route and location, and even sorted out the complicated street map that I might not remember for years if I were someone else.

Yakumo then raised his eyes and looked around again, and inhaled a breath of air hard.

Because they are located in the back alleys of shopping streets, nearly half of the shops are unable to tell what type of store they are. However, by the fact that there seemed to be a sweet smell in the air that had just been inhaled, I could guess that there must be a bakery or pastry shop or something like that in the vicinity

"Well, why can't I learn anything other than cake?"

Just as Yakumo Azusa was thinking about what shops were nearby and where she was going to apply for a job, a wooden door next to her suddenly opened without warning, and a young man who looked to be in his twenties walked out of the door with a sigh, which scared Yakumo Azusa outside the door.

Reflexively, he turned abruptly to face the young man, and at this time, the young man also happened to notice the presence of Yakumo Azusa, and his eyes widened, as if he was surprised why a little girl as delicate as a doll would stay in such a place as the back door.

The two looked at each other and looked at each other for a moment.

The smell of cake came from behind the young man, and at this time, an idea quietly appeared in Yakumo's heart

P.S.1: Who else remembers that Xiao Ji was scolded by the second sister for something, and then the second sister became more and more fond of joking?
