I work as a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Chapter 226 Home Visit, Amamiya Family
April 9, Saturday afternoon.

Hirakawa Tetsubun came to the door of Amamiya's house—it should be said to be in front of the gate.

Looking at the land in front of him... I don't know how much, but it's definitely not a small villa, as well as the lawn and walls surrounding the main building.

Although the area alone is not comparable to the Shinohara's house, Hirakawa Tetsufumi still felt... well, it is indeed the house of a young lady whose monthly pocket money is higher than his salary?
With subtle emotions, he pressed the doorbell at the gate, and soon there was a voice from the beeper.

"Hello, this is Yu Gong's house, may I ask?"

Hearing the voice, it doesn't sound like the voice of Mrs. Amamiya who had a short exchange in the three-party meeting, and the words are full of honorific words, maybe it is the maid at home?

"Hello, I'm Hirakawa, the homeroom teacher of Amamiya. I had a phone interview before, and I made an appointment to visit today. Excuse me."

"It's Mr. Hirakawa, okay, please wait a moment."

"Ok."

After speaking, the pager was interrupted, and Hirakawa Tetsufu stood there, waiting.

After waiting for a long time, through the gap between the railings of the gate, looking through the front yard of Yugong's house, he saw the main body of the villa, and the door facing the gate of the villa was opened.

A maid wearing a black and white maid uniform came out and was walking towards the gate quickly.

"Mr. Hirakawa, sorry for the long wait."

"Nothing."

The young lady maid who couldn't tell her age bowed after opening the door.

"This way, please."

"Ok."

Following her, Hirakawa Tetsufumi walked to the villa of the Yugong family.

Walking and looking around, the middle of Yugong's front yard is the road leading to the house, on both sides, there are decorative green plants, it can be seen that they are often pruned, and they are not allowed to grow indiscriminately.

Arrived at the door.

"Mr. Hirakawa, please."

The maid lady opened the door and made a gesture of please.

And behind the door, there was Mrs. Yugong who just walked towards the entrance, and Yugongye behind her——Yugongye lowered her head quietly.

"Mrs. Yugong, excuse me today."

After just looking at it for a while, Hirakawa Tetsubun bowed and saluted.

Yu Gong's mother also returned the gift: "It's our Xiaoye who usually troubles Mr. Pingchuan to take care of her, and troubled you to come over."

"A matter of duty."

"Please come in."

"Then it bothers me."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi walked into Amamiya Ye's home, and he could immediately realize that Amamiya Ye's home was different from the cramped living environment of most Japanese people. Even the entrance seemed spacious, and even if two people stood there, they would not feel uncomfortable at all. Obviously crowded.

Walking into the entrance, the maid behind him also came in, took out slippers for him, and put them in front of him.

"Mr. Hirakawa, please change."

"It's troublesome."

The last time a maid received this kind of reception was when I visited Shinohara's house.

But in terms of feeling, it still looks like the assets of the Shinohara family are even better.

Doing this kind of boring association, Hirakawa Tetsufumi followed Yugong's mother to the living room of Yugong's house amidst the noise, and sat down on the sofa facing each other.

Yu Gongye was between the two of them.

"I don't know what Mr. Hirakawa would like to drink, is black tea okay?"

"Okay, sorry for the trouble."

The maid went to the side, and the living room became quiet for a short while. At this moment, Hirakawa Tetsubun began to look around with his eyes slightly.

The whole living room is very spacious, with good lighting, and the bright light from the outside illuminates the living room.

Everywhere is tidy and tidy, not messy at all.

On the opposite side, Yu Gong's mother was dressed quite formally, with a single braid, and her gentle appearance was no different from that of the tripartite meeting last semester.

But between the two of them, Yu Gongye seemed a little casual in their clothes, obviously home clothes, rather cute long-sleeved trousers, with cartoon patterns printed on them.

After looking at it for a while, Hirakawa Tetsufumi spoke first.

"Mrs. Yugong, classmate Yugongye, hello."

"Hi, Mrs. Hirakawa." Mrs. Amamiya who was opposite also said hello.

"Hi, Mr. Hirakawa." After her mother greeted her, Yu Gongye on the side also greeted her—although she had said it several times, she had to say that this cute and quiet appearance was really the same as when she was alone with him It's a world of difference.

Then there was another burst of innocuous greetings, how are you doing, the house is beautiful and so on.

Finally, when the maid came back and put the black tea on the coffee table, a lot of greetings finally came to an end. Hirakawa Tetsufumi picked up the steaming black tea, blew on it, and took a small sip.

After letting go.

"Mr. Hirakawa, I don't know why you came home today?" Mrs. Yu Gong asked, which marked that the topic had come to the point.

"Well, that's how it is." Hirakawa Tetsuwen nodded and began to explain, "I told you during the call with Mrs. Amamiya the day before yesterday that I planned to visit you today and discuss with you about classmate Amamiya Ye. "

"As for what this matter is... allow me to ask you a few questions first"

Mrs. Yu Gong looked at him seriously, waiting for his explanation: "Mr. Hirakawa, just ask."

After getting permission, the question that had been planned in my mind was asked naturally: "I don't know, Mrs. Yugong, do you know what classmate Yugong Ye is like in school?"

"This..." Mrs. Yugong looked at Yugong Ye who was bowing her head beside her, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but according to Xiaoye's personality, she should be very quiet at school."

"Well, it's like this, Yu Gongye is usually a very quiet student at school." Hirakawa Zhewen also glanced at Yu Gong Ye, confirming what Yu Gong's mother said.

"Many teachers who taught Xiao Ye before said the same thing."

"That's true." Hirakawa Zhewen continued to confirm, "This time, what I want to explain to Mrs. Amamiya is related to this."

"That's...?" Mrs. Yugong looked at him with confusion in her eyes.

Hirakawa Zhewen stopped for a while, so that the parent could be mentally prepared before speaking.

"Mrs. Amamiya, as you know, this year is the first time I have taught Amamiya-san. In the first grade, Amamiya-san was taught by another teacher, Mr. Yamamoto."

"Yes."

"And at the beginning of the last semester, because of the readjustment of the class list, when Yu Gongye was taught by me, something actually happened."

"...Is it because of Xiao Ye's continuous lateness?"

"It was before that." Hirakawa Zhewen said, "At that time, Yu Gongye's previous head teacher, when he handed over her information to me, specifically told me, please pay attention to Yu Gongye."

"Huh?" Yu Gongye looked up at Yugong's mother's surprised eyes.

"It's a very kind reminder." Hirakawa Zhewen explained, "He must have discovered it too. When Yu Gongye was at school, he was too quiet and was always alone."

"Too quiet...?"

——The actual statement is too withdrawn, presumably Mrs. Yugong can understand his statement.

"Well, after that, it happened. Amamiya Ye had just changed classes and was under too much pressure, so she wanted to be alone, so when she was in school, she ran to that shrine by herself."

——It was this kind of rhetoric that was used to hide the matter about the cat.

"Here, Xiaoye..." Mrs. Yugong looked at Yugongye hesitantly.

Yu Gongye himself lowered his head, and his lowered face may have recalled that sad memory, making him look very lonely.

——Of course this is acting.

Hirakawa Zhewen looked at Yu Gongye subtly, and he recognized the acting skills of this kind of middle school girl.

After all, I usually hide the character of the second grader, and the appearance of the second grader, which requires acting skills, probably.

Also, although he was a little sorry for partnering up to deceive Mrs. Yugong, but he had to do it. Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, and it wouldn't disturb his conscience.

"Anyway, that's it. Yu Gongye is really too quiet when she is in school. As her class teacher, I am also very worried about her condition, so I have this visit."

"..." Yugong's mother looked away from Yugong Ye with some unease, and looked at him, "Then what does Mr. Hirakawa mean...?"

"May I ask Mrs. Yugong, is that the same as Yugong's classmate in the past?"

"In the past..." Mrs. Yugong repeated this sentence, and then, the scene became a little quiet.

"..."

"..."

Seeing Mrs. Yugong's expression, Hirakawa Zhewen was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, what happened when Xiao Ye was a child, because I was busy with work at that time, and I didn't know much about it."

"That's it."

Hirakawa Zhewen was not surprised. After all, Yu Gongye had told him about this matter before when he promised, or signed a contract, that he would settle the matter. Gong's mother decided to give up her job and become a full-time wife wholeheartedly, taking care of Yu Gongye.

"Speaking of which, classmate Yu Gongye mentioned this matter to me a little bit. I don't know if I can learn more about this matter and your thoughts from your side now."

"my thoughts?"

"Yes, for example, why did you decide to give up your job and come to accompany classmate Yu Gongye?"

"This..." Mrs. Yugong looked hesitantly at Yugongye, who seemed to be immersed in sadness, and then said, "Actually, it was probably when Xiaoye was in the second grade of middle school, and I was still busy with work at that time." , and even rarely come home, Saya has always been taken care of by Hatsaki."

Hatsusaki is probably the name of the maid.

"Maybe it's because of my lack of company. Later, Hatsuzaki told me inadvertently one day that Saya was playing alone at home, and she was playing something in the living room to entertain herself."

"At first I didn't think much about it, but then Hatsaki and I talked more and more frequently. I started to worry about Saya."

"Later, some things happened. I discussed with Xiaoye many times, and I probably also learned that Xiaoye is usually very lonely alone."

"In the end, I thought about it for a long time. After much deliberation, I think Xiao Ye's healthy growth is more important. Letting her alone like this is really dereliction of duty as a mother."

"So in that year, in order to make up for the previous negligence, I handed over all the work in the company to other people, and I can be a full-time mother with peace of mind, and grow up with Xiaoye."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Yugong looked towards Yugongye.

Yu Gongye didn't respond, she was quiet.

Then she looked at Hirakawa Zhewen again.

"Ms. Hirakawa, that's it."

"I understand." Hirakawa Zhewen nodded with emotion, "It can be seen that Mrs. Yugong really cares about Yugong Ye's growth and has taken care of it."

"It was my dereliction of duty before, and I regret that I didn't realize it earlier."

"It's not too late to realize it. In fact, Yu Gongye told me about it. She said, thank you very much for being able to accompany her like this."

"Hey, is that so?" Yugong's mother looked at Yugongye, "Xiaoye?"

"..."

Yu Gongye didn't raise his head, but still nodded his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Ms. Pingchuan said so."

A gratified smile appeared on Yugong's mother's face immediately.

This young lady is happy because of her daughter's affirmation.

It is indeed a warm thing to say. I can realize that my company is not enough, so I become a full-time mother to accompany my daughter.

Yu Gongye did tell him that he was very grateful for his mother's company.

But ah... something that is obviously very warm, but a problem has sadly appeared.

The secondary personality born because of the mother's absence had to be hidden because of the mother's return and the expectation of the mother's healthy growth.

Thinking of this, Hirakawa Zhewen also felt a little... complicated.

But after a few seconds, he still raised his spirits and continued to ask.

"Then Mrs. Yugong, what do you think, before you quit your job, student Yugongye entertained himself alone?"

——It can be said that Tu Qiong saw it, and it was for this matter that he went around for so long.Insinuating the mother's view.

"Hey... this." Yugong's mother thought for a while, and answered, "I think it's because I didn't have enough company to make Xiao Ye like this? At that time, I was still very worried about whether Xiao Ye was sick."

"are you sick……?"

"Yeah, it's a good thing I didn't. If I got sick because of this, I would feel guilty." Yugong's mother couldn't help but went to see Yugongye again.

Yu Gongye showed her a cute smile.

"..."

"..."

Hirakawa Zhewen smiled complicatedly: "If the child gets sick because of this kind of thing, he will indeed feel guilty."

"Yes." Yu Gong's mother nodded in agreement, "Ms. Hirakawa can understand this kind of psychology, right?"

"Of course... Then, I have something to say, and I want to talk to Mrs. Yugong alone."

"Huh?" Mrs. Yugong looked a little surprised, her eyes surprised.

Hirakawa Tetsubun nodded confidently in response to this gaze.
