National Tide 1980.

In Japan, October and November are the months with the most weddings.

For Japanese people in modern society, the proportion of choosing their own spouse has reached over 80%.

Most people choose their partners for love and marriage from acquaintances at school or work, as well as the brothers and sisters of these acquaintances.

But this kind of freedom is still only enjoyed by ordinary people.

For a few wealthy families, or even middle- and upper-class families with relatively good status, they can only follow the tradition of parents' orders and matchmakers' words and look for a family of equal status to marry into.

Like Matsumoto Keiko, who fell in love with Ning Weimin and, regardless of her parents' opinions, formed a family with him without hesitation.

If we look at this issue from the perspective of wanting to move up the social ladder, it would undoubtedly be a rebellious act that would destroy one's future. It is no wonder that Han Yingming was so unhappy at the time.

Fortunately, Ning Weimin had strong personal ability and financial resources, and he was not a gigolo. This gradually changed his father-in-law's impression of him, eliminated his prejudice, and turned a bad thing into a good thing.

Otherwise, their marriage will face great pressure from family and society.

Not to mention that it is unlikely that she will be as happy as she is now, it may even cause a rift between Matsumoto Keiko and her parents.

This is the objective limitation of the real world.

So this is not the choice most people make.

For example, Yoshimo Sho, the son of Yoshimo, the director of Sumitomo Bank, is a sensible and obedient son who has been willing to obey his father and follow the arrangements of his family since he was a child.

Regardless of career or marriage, Ji Maoce has experienced very few twists and turns, and has been moving forward calmly along a steady upward path.

Apart from anything else, Ning Weimin, this noble man, was introduced to him by his father. This one client is worth a hundred others.

So far, the loans he has lent to Ning Weimin have reached 100 billion yen.

And as the value of Japanese real estate continued to rise, Ning Weimin was still happy to continue to increase the loan amount and never refused him.

As a "second-generation banker", it is no surprise that Ji Maoce became the next successor to the deputy branch president under the operation of his father.

Now he just needs to wait patiently until the end of the year, and when the branch deputy president retires smoothly, he will be officially promoted and become the youngest middle-level cadre within the Sumitomo Bank system.

It is precisely because of this that he, who was able to hold an important position at such a young age, also came into the sight of other senior executives of Sumitomo Bank.

At the Sumitomo Bank headquarters, there was a manager named Akashi who was in charge of the financial accounting department. He was impressed by his abilities and potential and soon asked someone to arrange a blind date for him for his daughter, Akashi Masako, hoping to recruit him as his son-in-law.

This move was exactly what Minister Yoshimo wanted, after all, both of them were ministers at the Sumitomo Bank headquarters.

If the marriage is successful, it will benefit everyone, and the voice of both parties in the Sumitomo Bank system will inevitably increase accordingly.

As for Ji Maoce himself, he also has a clear understanding of his marriage.

Even though he has never lacked women in his private life over the years, he also knows that beautiful girls cannot provide any help to his career and future, and at most they can only be his lover.

Not to mention that his family would not accept it, he himself would not marry such a wife.

Therefore, he would only date a beautiful girl for a year at most and then break up with her.

As for blind date partners who are suitable for marriage, he prioritizes status and education, and does not have high requirements for appearance.

I think as long as a person is not ugly and does not have any unusual ladylike qualities, that's enough.

So, after meeting Akashi Masako, who came from a well-off family, I found that she was above average in appearance and had a good personality.

Although she was a quiet person and not cheerful or enthusiastic, she was very gentle and was basically a model of a good wife and mother like Yamato Nadeshiko. So she went back and expressed her satisfaction to her father.

In addition, the two young people who were on a blind date were both quite old, the man was 28 years old and the woman was 26 years old.

As a result, after two or three dates since they met in September, their marriage was decided by both parents and they decided to hold the wedding at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo on November 11.

It was precisely because of this that, with the support of the future in-laws within Sumitomo, Yoshima and his son were able to present Ning Weimin with a seaside villa in Okinawa as a gift to celebrate the birth of little Ning Ze.

Otherwise, they might not have the ability to express such great sincerity.

Of course, Ning Weimin is also a person who knows how to return a favor.

After accepting the villa for his daughter, he immediately signed an additional loan contract of 22 billion yen with Yoshimosuke.

After receiving the wedding invitation from the Yoshimo family, Ning Weimin immediately prepared a gift of 1800 million yen and spent million yen to buy a Nagasaki school flower and bird painting from the s as a gift for the newlyweds.

The content of this painting is mandarin ducks playing in the water in spring, symbolizing growing old together and harmony between husband and wife.

This is undoubtedly a wedding gift that goes far beyond the usual gift standards and is very meaningful.

As expected, receiving this generous and thoughtful gift, not only did Yoshimo and his son feel proud, but even their in-laws, the Akashi family, completely dispelled the last bit of doubt in their hearts.

Originally, Minister Akashi was worried that Ning Weimin and the Yoshimo family were just casual acquaintances.

If that were the case, he was very worried about whether Ji Maoce could maintain such outstanding work results in the future and whether he could secure the position of deputy branch president.

Now he is completely relieved.

Because if there is no deep friendship, the other party will not give you such a thoughtful and valuable gift. What other attitude can be more telling?

Nothing else, such a son-in-law is undoubtedly exactly what he needs.

Minister Akashi even specifically asked about the seating arrangement that Minister Yoshimo had arranged for Ning Weimin, as he planned to have a good chat with this big client of his son-in-law at the wedding.

It’s a pity that his wish cannot be fulfilled.

Because although Ning Weimin gave a valuable gift, he did not intend to actually attend the Yoshimo family's wedding. He had already informed Minister Yoshimo that he would send someone to represent himself and Matsumoto Keiko.

If nothing else, he really doesn't have time.

His wife had just given birth and his daughter had just been born, so he needed someone to be there everywhere in the house.

Both his wife and daughter need him to take care of them.

Like Qingzi, she had poor sleep after giving birth because she had to breastfeed her child.

Although there are servants and cooks at home, only Ning Weimin can help in this kind of matter.

Ning Weimin was also very worried that his wife would suffer from postpartum depression, so he had to comfort her at all times and provide her with psychological comfort and emotional value.

There is also little Ningze. He has had jaundice for a long time and it has not gone away. He also keeps choking when drinking milk.

This also made Ning Weimin quite worried. He contacted several of the most experienced pediatricians to come to his home for a consultation, but the responses he got were almost the same: all he could do was wait.

How should I put it? It's because he cares too much and is too concerned about the child's normal physical condition that he is also nervous. It's no exaggeration to say that he is worried all day long.

He himself didn't know how long it would take for him to adapt to this new family life with a normal mind.

In addition, in order to shield reporters and protect the privacy and safety of his family, he is also recruiting staff for the villa in Denenchofu.

He needed four security guards to make the rounds and a driver, as well as a professional nanny with experience as a pediatric nurse.

The remuneration he offered was very high, with a monthly salary of 800,000 yen to 1 million yen for a security guard, 1.2 million yen for a driver, and 1.5 million yen for a nanny. This was equivalent to the salary of grassroots cadres in a large company, so there were many applicants.

But he needed time to verify the background information of these people one by one.

They even had to send someone to investigate, not trusting the agency that introduced them. After all, as the old saying goes, it's hard to guard against a thief in your own home.

If someone with a dirty background and ulterior motives really came in and took his child away, he would have no place to cry.

These things are also very energy-intensive and time-consuming.

What's more, after returning home from the hospital, close relatives still kept coming to visit the children, and Ning Weimin had to entertain guests almost every day.

Teresa Teng, Yao Peifang, A Xia, Maria, Ishida Yoshiko, Mrs. Taniguchi, the Kagawa sisters, and Yamaguchi Momoe, who now changes her surname to Miura.

These Chinese aunts and Japanese aunts took turns visiting, just like a revolving lantern, taking turns to see the "little guy".

After all, after ten days, the child's little nose and eyes began to stretch and shape, and she really looked like a pretty little girl.

The child changed almost every day. His eyes gradually became bright, clear and shiny, like shiny black buttons. His arms and legs began to become rounder and his hair grew a lot.

Unlike when she was just born, her skin was red, her face was full of wrinkles, her hair was sparse, and her eyes were frightened, just a little yellow-haired girl.

Little Ningze is getting cuter and cuter now, and is especially lovable. Although he spends most of his time sleeping or feeding, and is awake very little, all the guests still like him very much.

Especially Baihui. Even though she is a mother, she and Miura Tomokazu already have two sons, one four years old and the other three years old.

But these two sons surrounded their mother like two little tigers, playing with her like crazy.

This inevitably made Baihui feel that there was something missing, something delicate and soft, and something less delicate and caring around her.

Therefore, seeing the girl Xiao Ningze was like making up for the psychological deficiency in himself.

Holding the little girl in her arms and feeling her flesh, she really wanted to have another baby.

Even compared to this, even his own son seemed a little disgusted.

I saw the two chubby little boys were curious about this child who was as big as a rag doll.

They gathered around her, heads pressed together, and looked at the little Ningze she was holding. Baihui couldn't help but push her sons and scolded them, "You two, don't get too close. Be careful not to scare her."

As a married housewife who does not have her own children, Miyoko Kagawa is full of envy when she sees the child.

She has been married for two years and has actually been looking forward to getting pregnant for a long time.

Especially when she felt that Zuo Hai Youjiro had been getting busier and busier recently, coming home later and later every day and having a worse temper, she became more and more eager for the birth of a little life.

Perhaps having a child will improve her relationship with her husband.

Even if the situation cannot be improved, being a mother is itself an extremely attractive thing for her.

Just think about having a little person to accompany you every day, and you can take care of him and accompany the child as he grows up. What a happy thing it is.

So as soon as Miyoko Kagawa held this little guy in her arms, her maternal instinct overwhelmed her and she was reluctant to let go.

She made no secret of her love for the child and expressed her concern for the little baby all the time.

She picked up the child and not only looked at him, but also walked around the room.

She was lucky enough to arrive when the child was awake, so she could watch the trees, birds and flowers through the glass while holding the child.

In fact, a baby who is not even one month old can see nothing.

Little Ningze, who is so small, had his eyes squeezed by the sunlight, and apart from pooping and peeing, he could only sneeze.

In this way, Miyoko Kagawa seemed to enjoy the feeling of being a mother through little Ningze, and was reluctant to put other people's children back.

It was not until her younger sister Rinko Kagawa looked at her with envy and begged her repeatedly that she reluctantly handed the child to her sister so that she could also experience it.

But unexpectedly, an accident happened just after the change of personnel.

Because suddenly, as soon as the child was in her arms, he burst into tears.

And she wouldn't stop crying. She almost suffocated and her face turned blue.

It has to be said that Rinko Kagawa was really unlucky. Not only did she not experience any happiness, but she was instead scared by little Ningze.

She was at her wit's end, and even her body began to tremble with fear.

Miyoko Kagawa saw that something was wrong, so she quickly took the child, held him and comforted him while giving him water.

But it still doesn't work.

Finally, the child returned to the arms of his biological mother and gradually recovered.

But he still cried non-stop. Even if you put the bottle of water to his mouth, it was useless as he would just be angry and refuse to drink.

Later, Matsumoto Keiko took a closer look and found a red blood streak on the child's face. She knew why she was abnormal.

It feels like she scratched her face with her own nails.

Such a little guy had never suffered such a serious injury since he was born, so naturally he got angry.

There’s nothing you can do, this is called catching up.

You can't reason with Yue Keli's child. If she were sensible, she wouldn't cry, right?

Keiko Matsumoto could only hold Dian in her arms, coaxing him and calling him "my liver and meat" and "baby".

If the child is thirsty, give him water; if he is hungry, give him milk.

In this way, after crying for more than half an hour, the little guy was finally coaxed into falling asleep.

The next day, someone bought two cloth gloves for the child to wear to prevent similar disasters from happening again.

However, this incident probably caused some psychological trauma to Rinko Kagawa.

After handing the child over to his biological mother, although she still looked at little Ningze with fondness and tenderness, she was also a little timid and never dared to touch him again.

For this, Ning Weimin felt somewhat sorry for his daughter.

You know, he had originally encouraged Rinko Kagawa not to give up her career for marriage.

If her own daughter really scared her so much that she no longer wanted to get married or have children, that would also be a sin.

However, Ning Weimin probably did not expect that among the people who came to his house to see the child, there was actually someone who cared about him more than the child.

His personal family happiness does not always have a positive effect on others.

In silent observation, a pair of bright eyes appear dim. The happier he is, the sadder others are.

That person was none other than Yao Peifang, the runner-up of the model competition.

Yao Peifang, who had experienced Ning Weimin's wedding and the birth of his child, finally had an epiphany at this time.

She could no longer take a man like Ning Weimin as a role model for her life partner.

Otherwise her life would be ruined and she would be doomed to die alone. (End of this chapter)
