I have a lot of green plums

"Oh my, Xiao Yuzhi is only in fifth grade, but he's already interested in this kind of thing?"

Si Yueyuzhi's body stiffened when he heard the voice, and he turned to look to the right. His mother had stood beside him at some point, her eyes moving back and forth between him and the recruitment brochure on the table.

He looked down at the recruitment manual on the table, and the content on it was the last page. Even Si Yue Yuzhi felt a little ashamed at this moment, but he still tried to remain calm.

"I think my mother misunderstood. I just happened to turn to this page. The rest of the time I was looking at the job information above."

Si Yue Yuzhi said this as he calmly closed the manual.

"Eh, boring." April Yusha looked regretful, "I thought Xiao Yuzhi would panic, why is he so calm? He's just a fifth-grade kid."

"Please be serious, mother."

April left me speechless. How could a mother use the word "just" to refer to her own child?

"Okay." Siyue Yusha realized that there was no fun to be had, so she stopped teasing Siyue Yuzhi. She quickly put away her smile and said seriously, "Yuzhi, do you want to find a job?"

"......Um."

Si Yue Yuzhi was silent for a moment and nodded slightly. In this situation, even if he lied, he would still be exposed.

"Have you found anything you want to do?"

"No, I can't even meet the most basic requirements."

April Yuzhi was a little depressed. He deeply realized that the place he traveled to was the reality of another world, not the ideal country of novels.

“That’s only natural.”

Siyue Yusha smiled softly, bent down and hugged Siyue Yuzhi's head, letting him lean against her chest and said softly: "Since Yuzhi is still young, you don't have to worry about other things. I will be very happy as long as you grow up well. Leave the rest to your mother."

"But mom is also very happy, because Xiao Yuzhi is such a sensible child, and mom is proud of him."

The hand that stroked her head was gentle, and the words that were spoken were plain, but Si Yue Yuzhi didn't know why she felt sad, as if she felt a thousand pounds of weight in her heart.

The more she said this, the more he wanted to share her burden.

He withdrew from the warm embrace that was wearing down his will, and said to April Yusha: "Mom, I want to go somewhere else after school tomorrow."

"..."

Such words made April Yusa realize that her child had made up her mind. She blinked and suppressed the urge to cry.

She has persisted until now, giving up all her pride and protecting the little life that has finally grown up.

"Okay." April Yusa held back her tears and did not stop it.

"But you have to be careful. If you get kidnapped by a bad uncle, mom will cry."

You might even die.

"Don't worry, mother. I'm not a child anymore."

"Pfft!" April Yusha chuckled when she heard this, and most of the sadness in her heart disappeared.

"A fifth-grade elementary school student says he is not a child, hahaha."

As if her funny spot had been hit, April Yusha laughed for a long time and even squeezed out two tears.

Si Yue Yuzhi just listened to her laughter silently. Even though she was being laughed at, he felt very relaxed.

At this moment he felt like the luckiest child in the world. After all, how many people had ever heard their mother laugh out loud?

April Yusha smiled for a while before she stopped. She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "By the way, Yuzhi, Mommy remembered something."

Siyue Yuzhi listened quietly, without asking any questions. After Siyue Yusha had fixed her appearance, she continued, "Isn't your essay well written? You can try submitting it to the Cultural and Entertainment Bureau or a newspaper. If it is accepted and published, you will receive some royalties."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, dispelling the fog in Si Yue Yu Zhi's heart.

Yes, since the world regards entertainment as so important, why don't I take advantage of it? He had obviously had this idea before, but why did he let it go without realizing it?

Do you think this idea is ridiculous? Because in the past, he never considered these things as a way out. At that time, he just wanted to stay in that tiring job for the rest of his life and it was difficult for him to accept new things.

Really, not only was he reborn, but he also brought with him the narrow vision and small-time habits of his previous life. It was such a waste of such a great opportunity.

Stupid guy, don't do this again in the future.

Reminding myself in my heart, April's mood suddenly became brighter.

"Thank you, mother!"

Your mother will always be the harbor that silently guards you when you encounter difficulties, and the lighthouse that leads you out of the darkness when you are lost.

"Well, I hope I can help you."

Siyue Yusha smiled gently and touched Siyue Yuzhi's head, but she inadvertently saw the time displayed on the alarm clock on the table, so she withdrew her hand.

"Mom is going to work now. Yuzhi, be careful at home alone."

Her hurried back and the crisp sound of the door closing made Si Yue Yuzhi more determined.

Chapter 14 Even so, we are trying our best to live.

With a clear goal in mind, Siyue Yuzhi quickly took action.

On the way to school, he told the five girls about his plan, thinking that he would disappoint them, but when he saw the expressions on their faces, he knew that his worries were unnecessary.

Instead of being frustrated, the five girls excitedly said they wanted to go with him to take a look.

Although he didn't want to be so high-profile, he still took the five girls to the Cultural and Entertainment Bureau after school.

All he remembered was the vague location of the Cultural and Entertainment Bureau, and no other information. When they arrived at the iconic location, he and a few girls searched for a while before finding their destination on the other side of the street.

I thought that a place with the word "ju" in its name would mean it was a rather serious place, but when I saw it with my own eyes I realized that it was just my stereotype.

There is no serious atmosphere here, instead it feels like a busy city.

Adults leading children, teenagers walking alone, gray-haired old men... there were people of all ages, and most of them were holding something like a draft in their hands. When Si Yue Yuzhi passed by a child who looked about the same as him, he took a quick glance and found that it was covered with densely packed words.

I guess they are here to submit articles. Most people here should be like this.

"My dear son, your composition will definitely pass this time. It's just a matter of time before you become a great writer in the future. Hahahaha!"

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't look down on the poor middle-aged! My music will definitely be recognized by the world!"

"Failed again? Show me your novel. I was reincarnated as a transvestite and fell into the goblin's lair to become a sex tool... You little bastard, I'll beat you to death!"

......

To be honest, it was a bit too lively here, with all kinds of noise filling the air, making Si Yue Yuzhi frown.

However, he also got a lot of information from these noisy sounds. Not only can he submit essays here, but he can also submit music novels.

Come to think of it, it is such a large institution, after all, how could it only accept short essays?

"It's so noisy, Yuzhi, let's go back."

Yotsuba covered her ears with a bitter face, and the other four girls also frowned, obviously they really disliked this place.

"I told you not to follow me." Si Yue Yu Zhi said helplessly: "Go wait for me outside first."

"Okay, then Yuzhi, hurry up."

"Don't run around, understand?" Si Yue Yuzhi reminded him again. Since he had brought these five guys here, he naturally had to bring them back safely.

"I know, we are not children anymore."

After the five girls left, Si Yue Yuzhi continued to move forward. After arriving at the hall, he wanted to find a staff member to ask something, but there was a sign at the door, which detailed the types of works that could be submitted and how to submit them.

Including essays, novels, games, music, comics, etc., almost everything that can entertain people appears on it.

In addition, you can also submit your manuscripts online, which will include the official website address and email address, and there is even a door-to-door manuscript collection service.

After reading the content on the first signboard, Si Yue Yuzhi looked at the one next to it. It said that a youth entertainment competition was currently being held. Anyone who passed the submission could participate. The winner would win a grand prize of 500,000 yen, and the official would publicize it to help the creators make a name for themselves!

In April, I realized for the first time how much importance the world attaches to entertainment.

After reading it carefully twice, he already knew all the information he wanted to know, and there was no need to ask the staff. After looking at the two signboards again, he followed the crowd out.

Seeing the five girls waiting for him obediently at the door, he couldn't help but smile and felt very satisfied with their obedience.

However, when he saw the three boys in front of them, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

He hurried over, and the closer he got, the more he could hear the arrogant voices of the three guys.

"What are you five idiots doing here? This is not the place for you."

The boy who was the leader of the three started to mock.

"none of your business!"

Nino naturally fought back without backing down. She really hated these three guys in front of her.

"How come it's none of my business! I'm the class study committee member. What if you five idiots come to a place like this without permission and bring shame to our class?!"

The boy patted his chest and said seriously, and the two followers beside him also echoed,

"That's right, you are the ones who usually hold the class back."

"Five idiots~ trash?~"

Nino was a little angry at what they said, and a faint blush of anger appeared on her cute face.

"You annoying guys! We are free to go wherever we want! There is no need for you to restrict us!"

"Nino is right, you have no right to talk down to us like that!"

"We won't listen to you, you arrogant guy!"

The girls greeted back angrily.

"Huh? I'm the study committee member!"

"I've already told you that you're the study committee member. What does that have to do with us? Stop being such a nosy auntie, okay?"

"Auntie?"

The boy stuttered at Nino's words. He didn't expect the other party to be so vicious, and his face suddenly turned red.

For a man, being called a girl is already a disgrace, but the other party even went a step further and called him an auntie.

"Lulu~Oba-san!"

"Damn you!" The provoked boy was furious and said something without thinking in his anger.

"No wonder you five don't have a father. You must be too vicious, so he abandoned you and your daughter and ran away!"

Ever since Mr. Uesugi openly scolded them with similar words in class, it was no longer a secret that they came from a single-parent family.

In the eyes of children, single-parent families are outliers, so they are often ridiculed by their classmates. Coupled with the deliberate alienation and inaction of teachers, they become the targets of isolation and bullying in the class.

No matter how strong the five girls appear on the surface, their hearts are still like the sweet heart wrapped in a chocolate shell, which looks hard but can be broken with a single poke.

"That's not the case..." Nino wanted to protest loudly, but no sound came out.

What's wrong with single-parent families? What's wrong with not having a father? They haven't hurt anyone else and are working hard to live. Why do they look down on them? Is it their fault that they were abandoned?

"That's it! You are the children without a father! Lululu~"

Seeing that the girl's pride was shattered, the boy made a face with joy.

Chapter 15: Childish Promise

Children always quarrel without any scruples. When adults quarrel, they will still back off and try not to hurt each other, but they just say whatever they want without restraint.

As soon as Si Yue Yuzhi approached, he heard the child's naughty voice. Looking at the five girls biting their lips, he stood between them without hesitation.

"Hey idiot, can you please stop being stupid in the street?"

April Yuzhi had a stern face but spoke in a very impolite tone.

The boy, who was just immersed in the joy of victory, was suddenly called an idiot. The arrogant expression on his face froze, and after taking a while to adjust himself, his anger rose.

"How dare you call me an idiot!" He gritted his teeth and stared at Siyue Yuzhi who suddenly appeared.

"Then tell me your name. I don't know your name, so I can only use idiot instead."

"My name is Hanasaka Taro! You stupid guy!"

Hanasaka Taro said angrily.
