People in Tokyo, the world is clear

"Yes?"

"From the tone of voice, I guess so."

It's not easy to find a job, Miss Ito sighed.

"The competitors this time are all similar to me. One is thirty years old, and two are recent graduates."

The girl pursed her lips as she explained, "If they want to pick someone young, the company will definitely prefer fresh graduates. If they want to choose someone with more experience, there are better candidates."

Absolutely.

But there is nothing we can do.

In a country like Japan where long-term contracts are common, youth unemployment is almost equivalent to a company's denial of their ability. In such a situation, finding a new job is indeed very difficult.

Lin Sen was a little curious about why Miss Ito was fired.

But exposing someone's scars is obviously not a wise move.

So Lin Sen didn't bring up the relevant topic in the end, but just accompanied the girl to look through the mailbox.

It’s all because of poverty.

Apartment tenants can’t afford telephones, and the results of resume reviews must be received by mail.”

The two of them flipped through several letters together, and all they got were rejection answers.

A look of loss appeared on the girl's face several times.

When she was alone, she gradually rarely hid her expression in front of Lin Sen.

Maintain a non-defensive attitude.

Lin Sen also took a step forward, stood beside the girl, and patted her, trying to give her silent strength.

This action seems to be somewhat effective.

Ms. Ito adjusted quickly.

She glanced over, gave him a reassuring look, then found the next letter and opened it.

[Nothing.]

Unfortunately, such a strong statement only lasted for a short moment.

This time, when Lin Sen saw Miss Ito unfold the letter, her eyes widened and her hands trembled.

Got it?

Just as he was about to speak, he realized that the girl was too emotional.

The action expressed was as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

What frightened Lin Sen even more was the movement of him swaying twice and almost falling down.

In other words, would you be so excited if your resume was reviewed and approved?

"Grandma's..."

Even muttered such words?

Then Lin Sen reacted.

wrong.

According to Japanese grammar, there should be no such national curse.

So the real situation should be——

"There's something wrong with grandma's health..."

Oh, it turns out that grandma has some health problems. I thought Miss Ito was really so upset that she went abroad to curse.

"..."

"This sentence shows that the situation is more serious!"

Lin Sen roared and grabbed the limp girl, ran with her and slammed the mailbox shut.

"Which hospital is your grandma in?!"

Chapter 13 She Has Few Friends

Fortunately, the result of the ants-on-the-hot-pot rush was a false alarm.

In Ward No. 7 on the second floor of the inpatient department of the general hospital.

She looked energetic and fine. The chubby old lady was half lying on the bed, comforting her granddaughter who was very relieved.

"Actually, I'm just feeling a little unwell, just like usual. Matsuda next door always likes to exaggerate."

But the fact is, after confirming that the old man was in good health, he was stopped outside the door by his old neighbor Matsuda who was accompanying him out of kindness.

Half of it fell to the ground and muttered to himself.

"You should come back more often. The old man is in poor health and is always worried about bothering the children. He just holds back when he's not feeling well and doesn't tell you."

"My family is usually busy, and my health isn't very good either. I can only do my duty as a neighbor and occasionally provide care. For the rest of the time, you younger generations have to come."

So the girl with short hair could only lower her head, apologize and bow to express her gratitude.

"I'll be careful next time. Thank you for your constant care."

Compared to the cold-blooded steel metropolises, small towns and villages like these are obviously more humane.

Only after the younger generations arrived did the enthusiastic neighbors rush back to have their own dinner.

Only two people were left, so they ran to the nearby shop to buy some hot dinners, and carried them through the deepening dusk to the old man's side.

Lin Sen could sense the hesitant expression on Ito Xiguo's face in front of the bed.

"Grandma, why don't I go back to my hometown..."

"No need. It was just a small problem."

The old man waved his hands stubbornly, "Don't believe what Matsuda says all day long. This time too, she must have secretly written a letter to Xiao Guozi, right? I don't want you to come here so often."

"Ah."

"That's just how she is. She seems so indignant all the time, but it's really not that serious."

The old man smiled and snatched the spoon handed to him by the girl, then reached out to grab the lunch box.

"Xiao Guozi has her own life too. It's not good to always ask you to give up your life in Tokyo and run back home."

Then came the customary questions from the elders.

"How's life in Tokyo lately?"

"Is everything alright?"

"Is there anything I need money for?"

All of them were responded to by Ito Nishika with the biggest and most affirmative gesture.

"Ah."

The girl grabbed the old man's wrist with both hands.

"Everything is fine. Grandma, don't worry about me."

Lin Sen just listened from the side, without doing anything that might expose the reality or break the warm scene of the granddaughter and grandmother greeting each other.

It’s a pity that at this moment, existence is the biggest disturbance.

After all, you are sitting at the edge of the bed, not at the bottom.

So after a while, the old man took the initiative to change the subject.

Casting an ambiguous look this way.

"Speaking of which, this..."

"Xiao Linsen."

The three people present were not too bothered by the formalities; a three-word self-introduction was enough.

The old lady is not only good at chatting, but also has a good ability to judge people.

When asked, "Has Ito been under your care recently?", Lin Sen replied directly, "I have been taken care of more." I quickly figured out his straightforward personality, and the tone of the conversation became much more different.

So Miss Ito next to her opened her eyes and watched stupidly as she gradually became an outsider, until the topic between the two of them started brewing and spreading around her again.

"Little Guozi sometimes acts without thinking. I hope it doesn't cause you too much trouble?"

"That's definitely not the case."

"That's good. This child is good in every way, except that he always seems a little immature and often behaves in a childish manner. Please be more tolerant."

"Not really. From what I can see, Ito is a very good person."

Even ordinary words of praise would make the corners of the elder's mouth frown.

Originally, this kind of scene where people around you get along harmoniously with your elders should be relaxing.

But the old man's next question made the girl's body stiffen instantly.

"In that case, when does Xiaolin plan to marry Ito?"

"Um..."

Before Lin Sen could hum a word, a figure on the other side was about to jump up.

"grandmother!"

The girl immediately grabbed the old man's sleeve.

"He, no, not... my boyfriend."

"Eh?"

Now it was the old man's turn to be shocked.
