I won't be a loser.

In the early stages of childcare, when the child is between 0 and 3 years old, fees need to be paid. After paying the childcare fees and the rent of the apartment, there is not much left from a month's hard-earned salary.

Living in such a city is already a very difficult thing, not to mention that she and her daughter are the only ones living there.

I'm afraid only Fuji and Nunu know how much hardship it is.

"Have you finished work yet?"

Fujiwara Nunu was processing the ingredients and thinking about tomorrow's affairs. After hearing a buzzing sound, she looked at her mobile phone and saw the incoming text message.

When Fuji and Nunu noticed the above content, their expressions were a little subtle.

He looked down at the potato in his hand, then at the phone beside him. He was silent for a moment, then peeled the potato thoroughly and washed his hands before picking up his phone and opening the text message.

"Just got off work."

Not long after the message was sent, the phone rang and the other party called her directly.

Looking at the red and green icon options, Fujihe Nunu, who was standing in the house, glanced at his daughter, was silent for a while, and still chose to answer the other party's call.

"Is it time to get off work already?"

After the call was connected, the person on the other end repeated the question about the text message.

"Well, I just got off work a while ago and was preparing dinner. What's up?"

"It's nothing special. I just want to ask if your living expenses are enough for this month. It must be very tiring to take care of the child alone. Do you need me to come to Tokyo to help take care of the child?"

"Oh~ No need. Although it's a bit busy to take care of a child alone, it's not a problem. I can take care of Elliot by myself."

There was silence on the other side for a while, and there was no movement for a long time.

"If everything is alright, then let's leave it at that for now?"

"Tomorrow, I plan to go to Tokyo."

"......"

"I'm planning to visit the wise man in Tokyo, and I'll also visit you and the child. I'll probably arrive in the afternoon, and I might come back to visit you in the evening."

Fujiwa Nunu was also a little troubled. She didn't know how the other party knew her address. Thinking back to when Miyamizu Futaba appeared at her doorstep, the surprise in her heart was still so clear until now.

Listening quietly to the call being hung up, Fujihe Nunu, who was standing in front of the kitchen counter, glanced at the call interface on it, silently put down his mobile phone, looked back silently, and saw his daughter who was still painting with crayons at the small table, then lowered his head and continued to prepare dinner silently.

At this moment, Miyamizu Futaba, who was far away in Itomori, was sitting on the edge of the bed in her room, looking at the hung up phone, and couldn't help pursing her lips.

For such a long time, I never told my son about it.

It’s just because his son is only a high school student so far. Even if he is no longer a child, it would be too sudden to let his child take on the responsibility of a father.

Especially at the beginning, when she suddenly learned about this matter, she was full of shock and surprise. She didn't know how to tell her children. She also unexpectedly learned that her son had a partner during his time in Tokyo.

To this day, I don’t know how to talk to my children.

Thinking of the difficult situation of the mother and daughter, Miyamizu Futaba's mood was inevitably complicated. Sitting quietly in the bedroom, she sighed helplessly.

After leaving her bedroom, she slowly walked to the living room and began to prepare dinner for the family. During dinner, she planned to tell the other three people in the family that she was going to Tokyo.

"Going to Tokyo?"

The first one to look surprised was the eldest daughter, Mitsuha Miyamizu. Miyamizu Futsuha, who had already known her personality, was not too surprised by her surprised expression.

"What's going on again? He's there."

"Nothing much. I'm going to Tokyo to take care of some things. I'll probably be back the day after tomorrow, or in a week."

Mitsuha Miyamizu also wanted to go to Tokyo, but it was school time now and she didn't have the extra time to follow her mother to Tokyo.

"Uh-I know."

Even though she was full of regret in her heart, she could only express her understanding. Miyamizu Yotsuba had no interest in Tokyo. She just hoped that her mother would go to Tokyo, see her brother, and come back soon.

"Well, I'll be back soon."

The elderly Miyamizu Ichiha did not make any comment on this matter. He just had his dinner quietly and did not have any opinions until the end of the dinner.

When night fell, Miyamizu Futaba told her husband that she was going to Tokyo.

For example, she did not tell her husband about the matter between Fuji and Nyo, but just said that she was going to Tokyo to see her son. Regarding this matter, Miyamizu Toshiki felt that his wife seemed to be overly doting on their eldest son, but he did not object.

The next day.

In the morning, Miyamizu Futaba prepared some local specialties and set off early for the Shinkansen. She took the earliest possible Shinkansen and headed towards Tokyo.

The wise man, who had not received any information, sat quietly in the classroom, watching the teacher who was lecturing in front of him, taking notes from time to time. His expression was no longer as serious as before, and he seemed a little distracted.

Thinking about things related to the future from time to time, the wise man sitting in the classroom also feels that he is very lazy now.

"This is probably the way money corrupts the human spirit."

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and stayed quietly in the classroom until the afternoon. After packing my schoolbag, I left the classroom alone.

"It's going to rain."

He walked out of the campus, raised his head, and looked at the gloomy sky above his head. He didn't know when the rain would fall from the sky. He walked on the street for a while, then took the subway to the "coffee shop", entered the house, and made tea in the living room.

Although the decoration style of the whole house is more suitable for brewing coffee, Xianren himself still prefers to drink tea.

There is still some time before Machida Sonoko and Kazeoka Mari get off work. Futaba Rio finishes school at the same time as him, but given the girl's personality, she may have to spend a little time in the laboratory before leaving school.

"Are you alone for now?"

After making tea, Xianren sat on the sofa in the living room. He heard the sound of the drizzle outside. His whole spirit was relaxed and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In an environment like this, sitting alone in the living room, drinking hot tea and listening to the rain outside the window is full of romance and gives him an interesting feeling.

"What a pity. It would be more comfortable with a blanket covering you. Let's go check it out tomorrow."

It's raining outside now, so there's no need to go out in the rain.

Should we buy one for Machida Sonoko and Kazeoka Mari when they come back?

It didn't seem impossible, but I also felt that it might be a bit of a bother for others. On a rainy day like this, it would be a bit troublesome, so I gave up the idea of asking those two people for help.

"It's nice weather."

After work, Teng and her daughter hurriedly walked in the rain holding an umbrella and came to the nursery. They saw their daughter in the nursery. Wanting to express their gratitude to the teachers in the nursery, they put a children's raincoat on their daughter, held the girl's hand, and walked in the rain.

She hadn't walked far when the black stockings on her legs got wet by the rain. The splashes of water from her walking got a lot of it on her legs. The slight chill of early spring made her purse her lips.

Hateful weather.

While holding her daughter's hand, she couldn't walk too fast. They stopped for a while on the road, and the two of them arrived at the shopping street near the residential area.

Normally, she would wait until the business hours were almost over before coming to the Folk Song Festival to buy some discounted ingredients, but now the weather was so bad, and she was worried that her daughter would catch a cold, so she didn't care about anything else. She bought some ingredients and hurried back home.

After entering the house, he helped his daughter take off her raincoat, took off her pantyhose from her legs, threw them into the clothes rack beside her, and then went to the bathroom to turn on the hot water.

"It's better to have a bathroom. The rent is a bit more expensive, but it saves a lot of trouble at this time."

Looking at the water in the bathtub, Fuji and Nunu nodded with satisfaction.

Returning to the living room, she looked at her daughter, pursed her lips, and silently began to prepare dinner.

"Come to think of it, what else happened today?"

Standing in front of the kitchen counter, Fuji and Nvnu suddenly frowned. Something occurred to them, but they couldn't remember it for a while. So they simply gave up thinking and concentrated on preparing dinner for themselves and their daughter...

After a long journey, Miyamizu Futaba arrived in Tokyo. She wanted to contact her son, but then she remembered that she would not meet her son right away. After hesitating for a while, she decided to contact her son after meeting Fujiwara no Nagisa.

"The subway I'm taking now is—"

After staring at the subway for a while, he roughly understood which subway he should take. It took quite a while for Miyamizu Futaba to arrive near where Fujiwa Nobuta lived.

When she walked out of the subway station, she saw the heavy rain falling outside, which made Miyamizu Futaba frown.

"It's raining...it's really disturbing."

I stared at the heavy rain for a while, and it didn't seem to stop. I had no choice but to buy an umbrella from a store in the station, and then I carried my slightly heavy suitcase and headed towards the apartment where Fujiwa and Nvnu lived.

The area where Fuji and Onna live is no longer considered a central area.

Compared to the central area like Bunkyo Ward, her Adachi Ward is close to the outskirts of Tokyo. It is a residential area with a richer atmosphere of life and relatively cheaper land prices.

From the center of Chiyoda, there is Bunkyo Ward, followed by Arakawa Ward. On the outskirts of Arakawa Ward, across the Arakawa River is Adachi Ward.

However, only in places like Arakawa Ward can you find an apartment with a monthly rent of 70,000 yen and a bathroom.

The room in the apartment is a little small, but at least the facilities are neat and complete. For example, there is a nursery for taking care of children near the apartment, and there is also the affiliated hospital of Tokyo Women's Medical University next to it. In terms of conditions alone, such a place is already very satisfactory.

"The room is a little small though. It would be nice if it were a little bigger."

Looking at my daughter who lives in the same room with me, there is basically no space for her to move around. It’s not a problem for the two of us to live together, but as time goes by and my daughter grows up, this apartment will become cramped.

When thinking about the future, Fujihe Nunu couldn't help but feel a headache.

"We'll talk about the future later—"

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang. Fuji and Nunu looked towards the door, then slowly came to the door and glanced outside through the peephole.

"......"

In the heavy rain, looking at the mature and gentle woman standing at the door, and then looking at the rain on her face, Teng Henu couldn't help but pursed his lips and reached out to open the door.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Miyamizu Futaba, who was standing at the door, looked at the open door and Fujiwara Nyoinu standing inside the room. She politely nodded slightly at her and greeted her.

"Long time no see. It's cold outside now. Come in first."

Looking at Miyamizu Futaba standing at the door, Fujiwa Nunu couldn't be said to be unwelcoming, and invited her into the house. Fujiwa Elio, who was sitting quietly in the house, saw the woman entering the house and showed a confused expression, remembering that the other party seemed to have appeared in their home a long time ago.

The somewhat uneasy girl hid beside her mother and hugged Fujihe Nunu's legs tightly.

Looking at the girl who was not close to him, Miyamizu Futaba did not feel lost. He looked at the girl with a smile on his face. Her face was somewhat similar to her son, and her eyes were particularly gentle.

Another year of budding: 312. Mysterious address

"You don't really want to prepare the food tonight, why don't we go out for dinner together?"

Looking at Rio Futaba beside him, Xianren, who had already checked the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator, suggested going out for a meal.

"Are we running out of ingredients?"

"That's about it. There's not much left. The rain has also subsided a lot. I'll just go out and walk around for a bit."

Because it is near the station, there are many restaurants, such as a ramen restaurant called "Sun Tomato Noodles", an izakaya called "Otowa Yutoten", some special restaurants that I can't name, and pizza restaurants.

Basically, any dish you can imagine is available nearby. If you run out of ingredients at home, it will be almost closing time when you go out to the commercial street.

There might still be food for sale in the supermarket, and some might even be discounted, but the wise man nowadays really has no mood to go shopping in the supermarket.

"So, what about Ms. Machida and Ms. Fuooka?"

"Send a text message to them and tell them that there's no food left at home. I think they'll understand what I mean. Then—"

After thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to have dinner with Futaba Rio. They were both adults and he didn't need to worry about preparing dinner.

"They should be able to handle dinner on their own."

"I understand."

Futaba Rio nodded, roughly understanding Xianren's thoughts, and walked quietly towards the bedroom.

"Then I'll go change my clothes and wait for a moment."

"Ah."

I had an idea in my heart, to follow Futaba Rio back to the bedroom, but after thinking about it, I still resisted this little impulse, quietly closed my eyes, sat in the living room, waiting for Futaba Rio to appear after changing her clothes——

"this is for you."

After dinner, Miyamizu Futaba looked at the girl who was already a little sleepy, and then looked at Fujiwara Ono who was still full of energy in front of her. She pursed her lips and took out an envelope from her bag and handed it to Fujiwara Ono.

Fujiwa Nunu, who had finished her dinner, looked at the thick envelope handed to her. She suddenly realized the thickness of the envelope, which seemed a little abnormal.

He raised his eyes and looked at Miyamizu Futaba who was sitting opposite him, and couldn't help but frowned.

"It's one million yen in total."
