009. Sakura's birthday party
Today is May 15th, 2033, and it is the 4th birthday of our youngest daughter, Sakura Hasakura.
The invitations to this birthday party are all acquaintances, and the scale is not large, with a total of more than a dozen adults and a few children.
She will attend the birthday party online via video link, waiting for Sakura to sing a birthday song before going to bed.
Sakura heard that the eldest sister couldn't come to celebrate her birthday, and she hasn't been happy since last night, she was very disappointed, she fell asleep crying, and she was a little better this morning.
We didn't dare to tell Xiao You about it, for fear that she would blame herself.
It never took much effort to coax Sakura, and after I patiently explained to her over and over again why my eldest sister couldn't come back today, she finally understood the reason, and didn't cry anymore, but just said to me aggrievedly that she missed Nana very much.
Fortunately, Ah Yu and they came early, and as soon as Nana arrived, Sakura's attention was quickly diverted, she especially liked to play with Nana, and generously gave her her favorite toys.
With my mom and Junichi's mom as babysitters for these two children, I don't need to worry too much about it today.
Before I could say a few words to Ah Yu, Cheng Mei called me again at the kitchen door with a big iron spoon, and she called me to come over and help peel the garlic.
I don't dare to disobey Chengmei's words, her sworn friend is good to me for everything, but when she is in the kitchen, she becomes a devil who cannot be refused, especially terrifying, more terrifying than a rabies attack of a wild cat.
However, it is thanks to her extreme and crazy cooking skills that our restaurant can retain so many loyal customers, and the guests' reviews of Chengmei's cooking skills are usually full marks, and there is very little dissatisfaction (although those who say it is not delicious are scolded by her).
I didn't dare to delay too long, walked quickly to the kitchen, and began to peel the garlic as she told me.
Ah Yu also came over, he and I were peeling garlic while chatting, working with him no matter what I did, I wouldn't feel tired, but after talking more, I looked down again, and the garlic on the plate had been cleaned.
Cheng Mei is really calling, she takes the garlic away and throws us a big bag of potatoes.
Looking at her posture, I won't be allowed to go without finishing all the dishes, and I have to find an unlucky guy to do this coolie for me.
Hirowa (Cheng Mei's half-brother, 30 years old this year. His wife, Yumi, who was the same age as him, gave birth to their daughter Ako in September '32) is the best candidate to work as a coolie, he used to be a bad boy, the kind of person who can only play games with girls, and then he reformed himself and became an apprentice under Narumi, and no one can adapt to his old sister's cruelty better than him.
But he had something to do today, and said that he would not come until noon dinner, and I think he said this because he deliberately avoided and didn't want to work.
I grew up watching this child, and he saw me as a sister who was not related by blood, so I also had a position to teach him a lesson.
You see, he admitted it after scolding him a few words, he didn't come because he didn't want to work with his sister, and now he's playing games at home, and he has nothing to do.
After being scolded by me, he promised to come over within twenty minutes.
"What a murderer." He muttered a sentence and hung up.
As soon as she heard that Guanghe was coming, Chengmei didn't embarrass me anymore, she took out the fried sweet and spicy, and then handed me the plate, and then drove me and Ah Yu out of the kitchen together.
Watching the two of us come out of the kitchen together, Junichi threw down the game console in his hand and drove his wheelchair to the two of us.
He pulled me over, and I sat down on his lap without standing firmly, and he put his arms around my waist and led me in my wheelchair in the direction of his study.
Everybody watched, shame on the dead.
I pressed his hand to turn off the accelerator button and struggled to get up from him, he pouted and looked at me unpleasantly, this guy was jealous again.
Coaxing Junyi never needs to do anything out of his mind, as long as I am coquettish.
I pushed him to the study and sat on his lap and gave him a tender kiss.
He indulged in my lips and kissed me very emotionally.
After a few minutes, we let go of each other, and he was no longer angry, just a little jealous.
He put his arm around my waist and looked me in the eye and asked, "It's our daughter's birthday, can you give your full attention to your family?" ”
"Then you didn't play games with Chiaki just now?"
He shook his head and said, "If you don't fight, you won't fight again." ”
I gave him a blank look and said, "Less, even my grandma knows how much you like to play games with her." ”
"I mean really," his face almost touched me, "I just want to be with Tetsuko, and I just want to be by your side even if I can't play games in my life." ”
I've heard this kind of thing for half my life, and he does it, and he never seems to get tired of our relationship, never enough.
I don't want him to give up a hobby he's loved for so long in order to stay with me, and playing games is one of the few things he can do to relieve stress.
I held his face in both hands, kissed him lightly on the forehead, looked him in the eye and said, "I don't want you to make this change in order to stay with me, although I don't mind that you always play games together, but I want you all to have fun." It's really not easy for you to find such a compatible friend, and I am willing to allow you to play with your ex-girlfriend because Qianqiu people are very good, and you don't want to think about it in your life if you change it to someone else. ”
He sighed lightly, frowned slightly, and said, "If only we could go back to when we first got married, there is no one else but us." ”
When we first got married, our relationship was really simple, and at that time I thought that it was enough to love each other, and I thought that we would be with each other until we grew old, rain or shine.
Now our marriage is stronger than then, but there are many more things that we don't want, those experiences and feelings are rifts that cannot be erased in this life, although we will not be separated again because of this, but we will not return to the purest love.
This love has gone all the way from simple love to today, and most of it has become family affection, which is the degree to which we will regard each other as the most important family even if we are divorced.
However, our love has not been worn out, it has not died, but it has not burned as fiercely as it did at the beginning, it has become a gesture of a long stream of water, and it melts into the air we breathe every day.
When loving someone becomes as natural and simple as breathing, the loved one will no longer be upset.
Before the divorce, I said to him, "I don't love you anymore", and at that time I was angry and really sad, so I said this kind of duplicity.
Junichi has been upset for a long time, since we got back together, he has asked me every few days if I love him, I am not as impatient as I used to, and every time I respond to him with a gentle kiss: I love you to the point of madness.
