In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 464 The first day back to work

On Monday, I went to Dongda University for school as usual.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and many students have changed into long clothes and trousers.

To be honest, besides visiting the library and taking some necessary classes every day when I come to Dongda, I have a lot of time to kill.

Some people will go to participate in club activities, some people will go out to hang out, and more people will go to work to earn living funds.

There is no student dormitory in Dongda University, and the students live outside.

The living expenses provided by the family are far from enough to support the needs of living in Tokyo.

This has led to many people having to go out to work.

University grants are also available.

Provided by the Tokyo Student Support Organization, it is specially provided for outstanding students who have difficulties in going to school due to financial reasons.

Of course, it is limited to outstanding students, and it is very difficult to apply.

There are also student loans, which are divided into three types: "no repayment required", "interest bearing" and "no interest".

In most cases, only one can be borrowed.

Kaoru Uesugi also had to lament that even the talents of Tokyo University are subject to loan and capital restrictions.

However, compared with the average college students, the students of Dongda University are much better.

Most of the students who are admitted to Dongda University are well-off.

Kaoru Uesugi sat in the classroom and looked at the falling ginkgo trees outside the window. He also wondered whether he would have to live a daily clock-in job like ordinary people in the future.

Lose your own happiness in the busy things, and constantly struggle to survive in the daily necessities.

"What is Uesugi-kun thinking about?"

"Ah, it's okay, I'm just thinking about what I'm going to do in the future." Kai Uesugi took the organized study materials handed over by Nana Umezu.

"Why did you suddenly think about this?" Umezu Nana asked curiously.

"I used to take a taxi. The driver has been working hard in Tokyo for decades, but he is still struggling for money every day. Rent, water and electricity bills, living expenses, medical expenses, children's tuition fees, and parents' alimony are all due to him. A shoulder burden."

"Isn't this normal?"

"No, I don't think it's normal. In fact, people should enjoy happiness as long as they work for a while."

Umezu Nana smiled and said:

"Uesugi-kun, a comfortable life will always be enjoyed by a fixed group of people, if everyone enjoys it, how can there be any strength to support the society to move forward?

"Some people work two hours a day, but they earn dozens of times more than those who work ten hours a day. And people who work ten hours a day are still willing to work hard, thinking that this should be the case. Uesugi-kun thinks, why is this happening?"

"That's how the society understands it." Uesugi Kai thought for a while.

"That's right, the common sense in society is like this. Everyone agrees that I can't do that, so I should get this amount, and the other party should get more than me. But in fact, if people who work for two hours do it Will the other party be willing to work for ten hours? Since each other thinks that they cannot do the other's work, why do those who work less have to pay tens or hundreds of times higher than those who work more?"

Umezu Nana smiled when she said this.

"This example is not absolute, and there are many loopholes, but it can also illustrate some unfair issues. How did Uesugi-kun think of discussing these? Actually, this is not something we should consider."

"Well, I'm getting stuff for my novel."

"Are you going to write a novel?" Umezu Nana asked in surprise.

"That's right, take the time to write."

"What did you write?"

"light novel."

"light novel?"

"Yeah, after all, I don't have any other channels to publish serious literature, and the level is not enough."

"If you want to publish it, you can ask Professor Okuno for help, but if you don't have qualifications, it's very likely that you won't be able to sell a copy." Umezu Nana said, "By the way, why do I feel that guy Totsuka is so happy recently? He and What have you been doing working at that maid café?"

"That's how people fall in love."

"Didn't he just lose love during the summer vacation? Now he found it again?"

"Love, come and go freely." Said Uesugi Kai, and began to flip through the study materials that Umezu Nana handed over just now.

After lunch at the central cafeteria at noon, Kai Uesugi rode a bicycle to the nearest mimi coffee shop.

He parked his bicycle, locked it, walked up to the second floor and opened the glass door to enter the coffee shop.

"Ah, Uesugi, it's just in time to come, help with the book."

"Go to the book?"

Kai Uesugi glanced at Aka Erina who was standing by the window, only to realize that she was referring to putting the newly bought book on the bookshelf.

"Come on." Aka Erina waved to him.

Kai Uesugi glanced at the cardboard box under her feet: "Since I have this job, what are you going to do?"

"Eat pudding." Aka Erina quickly closed her mouth, then waved her hands at Kai Uesugi with a strange expression, and said with a smile, "Sweeping, sweeping, hahaha~ you should sweep the floor."

If you are lazy, you will be lazy, what to do after talking so much.

Kaoru Uesugi walked over, took the books in her hand, and put them in the newly decorated bookshelves.

Aka Erina watched his movements, smiled and said, "Uesugi, you are quite manly."

"Of course," Kaoru Uesugi admitted without hesitation, "I get up at seven o'clock every day and run ten kilometers in the morning. The daily calorie intake will never exceed the healthy standard. I go to school on time, go to work on time, and study on time. I have more time in the evening. And do a hundred push-ups."

Aka Erina was amused by his robot-like masculinity, watching him organize the bookshelves:
"The cats will come over later."

"Didn't you pick them up yesterday?" Uesugi Kai asked.

"No, I called you and Hua Yujiang, but you didn't answer the phone. I stayed at home too late, and I didn't want to go. After all, the coffee shop hasn't opened yet. I don't know where to put it when I answer it. Let the owner send it here today, anyway, he also wants to see the living environment of the cat."

Does the store manager who sells cats still care about this?
Kaoru Uesugi couldn't believe how meticulously they took care of the cats.

"Okay, I'm going to eat pudding, do you want to save one for you?" Aka Erina waved to him and said.

"Anything you want, it's best to keep a copy."

"That's fine." Aka Erina turned and left.

Kaoru Uesugi continued to tidy up the bookshelves, and he bent down to pick up a white book from the cardboard box, the title of which was "Snow Country".

"Snow Country", a very famous book by Yasunari Kawabata.

Kaoru Uesugi clearly remembered that he described beautiful women whose toes were probably clean.

Opening the book cover, the first line is a very classic description: [Through the long tunnel at the county boundary, there is Snow Country.The night sky was all white.The train stopped at the signal station. 】

There is no rhetoric, giving people a simple but clear sense of picture.

Kaoru Uesugi couldn't help but read on.

Jingle~
After an unknown amount of time, the wind chimes rang, and Kai Uesugi came back to his senses and closed the book.

"welcome."

Taking a closer look, it turned out that Hanamaru Hanabi had come to the store.

With her hands behind her back, she came to Uesugi Kai with a small bag.

"Hee hee." The girl smiled cutely at him.

"what happened?"

Hanamaru Hanabi held the plastic bag hidden behind him in front of him, tilted her head slightly, and said with a smile, "Two skewers of charcoal-grilled chicken skewers for Kai-kun."

Uesugi Kai took a look: "Why did you think of bringing this to me?"

"When Hanabi was going to take the subway, I was hungry, so I went to the 711 convenience store to buy some food, but Hanabi felt that it was not good to eat alone, so I brought two skewers for Kai-kun, how is it? Hanabi is good to Kai-kun Bar."

Hanamaru Hanabi's eyebrows and eyes were bent into a cute crescent shape, and her little feet in small leather shoes also stood on tiptoe nimbly.

Kaoru Uesugi looked at her smiling face and felt that she seemed to be praising a child on purpose.

Cute, and a little clever.

"Great," Uesugi Kai took the chicken skewers from her hand, "If only Hanabi cared about me so much every day."

"Isn't Hanabi caring about Kai-kun so much every day?

"Well, so what I want is always."

"Your Majesty is so greedy!"

Hanamaru Hanabi said with a smile, turned around and was about to go to the staff room to change into the maid outfit.

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Hanamaru Hanabi regained consciousness.

"Why don't you tell everyone about your identity, it's weird to work here as Hua Yu."

"Okay, as long as no little fox approaches Kai-kun today, fireworks are fine."

After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the staff room with a smile.

what little fox
Kaoru Uesugi feels that the recent black fire is getting cuter and cuter.

Could it be that she is gradually driving towards Huahuo towards the same personality?

Isn't that what she meant when she said she was going to disappear yesterday?

Uesugi Kai thought of this, and suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

Both of Huahuo's personalities are hers, but one character buries her feelings deeply in her heart, and the other one shows her feelings openly.

He hopes that the shy Hanabi will exist forever, and he can completely accept Hanamaru Hanabi who has become generous.

Growth itself is a change.

It's just that the growth of Huahuo is divided and then gradually merged?

Uesugi Kai knows that he is the kind of person who is more prone to worry about gains and losses. Hanabi's smile is too beautiful. Even if she is married, her smile always makes him unable to help looking up and chasing her.

Kai Uesugi looked at the smiles of the two on the phone screen.

Sure enough, liking will become an eternal belief.

Kai Uesugi put the phone back into his trouser pocket, slowly closed the "Snow Country" in his hand, and put it in the newly purchased bookshelf.

After tidying up the books, Kai Uesugi came to the door, turned the small wooden sign with "Open" outside, then returned to the bar, and began to clean up the tools needed to go to work today.

Aka Erina poked her head out of the kitchen with a piece of bread in her mouth, holding the phone with her right hand, and said in a muffled voice:
"Hey, Uesugi, the cats are here, go downstairs and pick them up."

"I'll do it?" Kaoru Uesugi stopped what he was doing.

Aka Erina swallowed the bread, "It can't be helped, Yuno and the others, Totsuka Kohashi and the others will come back later."

"That's fine." Uesugi Kai reluctantly agreed.

Sometimes I come to work too early, and it is of no use except to burden myself with an extra job.

Coming downstairs, Uesugi Kai saw the cats who had been bumped into the cage.

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

"Meow~~"

"Meow! (Woo~boss~)"

Suddenly, a strange voice was mixed into the milky Mimi cry.

Kaoru Uesugi only glanced at the British shorthair cat in the cage, clawing at the metal fence.

It's strange why only this guy has such a clear consciousness.

"Mr. Uesugi, please sign on your behalf," the store manager put down the two cat cages in his hand, turned around and took a small wooden board from the female clerk's hand and brought it in front of Kai Uesugi.

"Should I sign it?"

"Yes," store manager Zewan looked up at the signboard of the coffee shop above, then lowered his head and said to him, "I'll be fine after I go in and take a look at the environment."

"That's good." Uesugi Kai returned the pen and small wooden board to the female shop assistant.

"Mr. Uesugi, please lead the way."

"fine."

"Ah, by the way, the British short-haired blue cat is about to be one year old, and it is recommended to be neutered."

"Meow! (Cunning humans!)"

Uesugi Kai replied: "Wait a little longer."

"That's fine."

The manager and clerk of the cattery followed Uesugi Kai up to the second floor to have a look at the coffee shop. They were satisfied and completed the handover of the cats.

There is nothing dissatisfied with the environment of the coffee shop. There are green plants, balconies, large space, and special spiral stakes for cats.

Kai Uesugi envies that modern cats can survive in such a good environment.

As a cute pet of human beings, except that they don't have completely autonomous mating rights, they are still good.

The three kittens were handed over to Hanamaru Hanabi and Akaerina to take care of them.

Uesugi Kai carried his British shorthair blue cat.

"Meow~ (Boss, let me out quickly.)"

Kai Uesugi put down the box and opened the door for the cat.

The cat walked out of it on its white paws, its tail was raised high, and its round eyes looked around:
"Meow. (Is this the boss' stronghold?)"

"What base?" Uesugi closed the cage.

"Meow. (Occupy the stronghold of the human planet.)" The cat jumped onto the bench, jumped onto the bar from the bench, squatted down, and sat down.

Occupy the human planet?What a mess.

Uesugi felt that this cat really dared to think.

"Do you have a name?"

"Meow! (Name? It's useless, that's the slave label humans give to cats! It's unfair treatment! We will never give in to humans!)"

Jingle~
"welcome."

It was a mother who brought her four-year-old girl into the coffee shop.

The little girl saw the British shorthair cat squatting on the bar, wagging its tail at the first sight. Her eyes lit up, and she broke away from her mother's hand at once, and stood under the bar to reach out to hug it.

"Cats! Cats!"

"Meow~"

The blue cat lowered its head and called out to the little girl who was full of love.

Kai Uesugi heard what it meant, roughly speaking: Human cubs, don't stop me and the boss from our grand plan to occupy the planet.

The little girl's mother came over, and Kai Uesugi went up to receive her.

The lady looked at the newly added facilities in the store: "Hey~ Have you renovated here?"

"Yes, what would you like to drink?"

"Whatever you want, I want two cups of coffee with a little more milk."

"No problem." Uesugi Kai turned and walked into the bar, washed his hands, and started working.

And the little girl tiptoedly took the opportunity to climb up the high stool, and directly hugged the British shorthair cat that was about to slip away with both hands.

"Meow!"

"Cat~"

"Cat~"

The little girl patted the top of its head obediently, and slowly slid her small hands from its head along its back, feeling its walking along, and looked at the smiling mother with joy.

"The cat is so cute."

"Meow~"

Kai Uesugi was working while looking at the round-headed blue cat on the bar with its eyes closed and its tail constantly wagging.

Isn't this guy very comfortable to be touched?
