[Black Basket] Together with the Light

"You guys must have done something bad while I was away." Midorima Aihai, who came upstairs with rice cake and bean soup, stood at the door with a clear yet suspicious expression.

The faces of Shintaro Midorima and Keko Takeuchi were a little flushed, mixed with a hint of embarrassment of being broken, and Takeuchi, who could speak well, failed to immediately refute Aikai Midorima's words.

Sister Lvjian further confirmed her idea, put the tray with desserts on the desk, and the old god pointed out: "Remember to close the door when you do bad things in the future."

Takeuchi defended weakly: "Since the door is open, doesn't that mean we are not doing bad things?"

Sister Lvjian looked at her in disappointment, feeling sad for her out-of-standard rebuttal: "It's possible that she couldn't wait to do something bad and forgot to close the door."

"Who can't wait to do bad things..." Takeuchi: "...wait a minute, why are you so rich in this aspect, high school student?"

Midorima Aikai was frightened: "Wait! Don't give me a ginseng cock! I'm a pure high school student, I just have a lot of experience!"

——She didn't do anything, she didn't fall in love at the critical moment when she was facing the exam!Just read a lot of books and know a lot!

"Experience?" Midorima pushed his glasses, understood the meaning of his sister's words, and it was better to refute when he understood.The boy picked up a bowl of red bean soup, took a sip, and then said casually, "I will remind mom to be more careful when cleaning the room for you."

——Are you going to read messy books when you have an exam?hehe.

Sister Lvjian was about to cry, God knows how hard it was for her to hide those treasures: "...accumulated! It's not just a temporary hug!"

——I watched it before!Don't tell mom about it!

Lu Jian raised his eyes and signaled the dessert on the table: "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Midorima Aikai picked up the bowl tremblingly, seeing that neither her brother nor Takeuchi seemed to continue talking, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowed her head to drink the soup and dared not say anything else.

Takeuchi picked up the bowl and looked at Midorima in shock: "Admiration."

——It's amazing to completely defeat Aihai in Midorima!Midorima turned out to be so eloquent, so surprised!

Midorima bowed his head to drink the soup and ignored her.

Not long after, Lujian's mother shouted for dinner from below. Lujian picked up the empty bowl and took the two girls downstairs.

The seven people from the two families sat around the table and had a lively meal. They were old neighbors, and they knew each other’s personalities long ago. They spoke freely. The chats at the dinner table were relaxed and happy, and occasionally there were some emotions that they hadn’t seen for a long time. .Of course, there will always be a word or two about the family that moved out of the old house of the Takeuchi family.

Takeuchi remembered that Midorima had a very bad impression of them, so bad that he didn't even want to introduce their surnames.

"There is a problem with that family." Lu Jian's father said calmly, "Domestic violence."

Lvjian’s mother is very concerned: “Sometimes at night, I can hear the sound of throwing things from the next door, and two people shouting and cursing. The male owner of the household is a drunkard. Is there a job?"

"The hostess of that house doesn't look like a good person. Whenever a man makes trouble, she scolds and fights him. Why don't you get a divorce?" Women are more interested in gossip. Midorima Aihai took the conversation and continued, Young people’s words are harsher than their mother’s. “It’s not that we want to pry into their privacy. Influence, but Mom and Dad live at home every day! Especially Mom, Dad has to be on night shift from time to time, and you are the only one at home, don’t you feel scared when you hear the noise next door!"

Lvjian Aihai was indignant: "Mom, you are too soft-hearted. If you wake up and apologize, you will forgive me. If they quarrel, they should call the police once. It is better to drive them away as soon as possible!"

The reproachful tone is full of concern for her family. Of course, Mrs. Midorima doesn't care about her daughter's "lesson" to her, she just feels happy.She smiled bitterly, but her heart was still soft: "It looks a little pitiful, the mistress of that family was beaten all over, and she apologized in a low voice."

Lujian Aihai rolled her eyes, and Lujian's father smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, let's go, don't talk about them."

Takeuchi deeply felt that the family was probably driven away by Midorima Aihai, and she had nothing to dare to say when she was noisy and playing on weekdays, so it probably wasn't a big deal to make a decision for a soft-hearted mother Difficult things, Midorima Aihai is a very strong girl in essence.

Thinking about it again, Takeuchi is a little worried about the situation of his old house, domestic violence and things falling... It won't be like a crime scene inside, right?

Of course not.Takeuchi's father is unreliable, and he is not unreliable enough to give his daughter a crime scene.

But the condition of the house is indeed much worse than when they left. The whitewashed walls are full of scratches from hard objects, not to mention the wallpapered walls, wooden doors, door frames, The furniture that cannot be taken away is also covered with marks.

Annoyed and distressed, Takeuchi strangled Beard's waist desperately.

Yufu Takeuchi said: "Your little bird will be strangled in two by you. It is not an earthworm and cannot be turned into two."

Dad is worthy of being a dad, knowing that Beard is a bird and not a chicken.

Takeuchi Keko relaxed his arm: "Why are you mentioning earthworms?"

"Do birds eat bugs?" Yuo Takeuchi replied, and then said, "You have seen the condition of the house, since it is yours now, the decoration is naturally your responsibility."

Yuo Takeuchi took out a card from his wallet: "Here, the cost of the renovation."

Takeuchi Keko holding Beard: "No hand to catch."

"I don't know anything about decoration. Do you really want to leave it to me? Is there a father who asks his daughter to do decoration?!"

"I said, this is your house." Yuo Takeuchi stuffed the card into his daughter's hand, "It's not right for my old father to help with the decoration of my house."

After dinner, the two families broke up after chatting. Mother Takeuchi has something to do in the company tomorrow, so she left first. Father Takeuchi took his daughter to see the house.

The room with only a few large pieces of furniture left is very empty. Under the light of the bright chandelier with newly installed light bulbs, it looks vicissitudes and haggard. The traces of age are engraved in every corner under inappropriate violence.

As soon as Takeuchi raised his head, he inadvertently saw a few silver strands mixed in his father's temple hair. The girl lost the desire to continue talking with her father for a moment. She squeezed the bank card in her hand: "Got it."

"But I really don't know how to decorate, so don't scold me if it's a waste of money."

If it's a new house, just find a fine decoration team to do it all, but now the work is repairs, so it's inevitable to discuss in detail.

"I know, I won't blame you." Takeuchi Yuo looked at his daughter with a wise and clear smile on his face.

There is a tacit understanding between Kise Ryota and Takeuchi Eko, but the tacit understanding between them is far from that between Takeuchi and his father.

In the conversation between the father and daughter, nine out of ten sentences are not serious, but they actually know how well they live with their bluffing counterparts.

Life is unsatisfactory out of ten, how can there be so many things that make them laugh and laugh, and no one seriously teases each other?

But since there is still a bit of wishful thinking, why not laugh at its spring breeze?

We have to live earnestly and clearly, but when we are struggling with difficulties all day long, and picking out happiness to make ourselves smile, why not choose the latter?

Takeuchi Hiroo never brought home bad things at work, and Takeuchi Keko would not tell his parents about his troubles in part-time study.It's useless to tell, I can only solve my own affairs, why worry my family in vain?It's better to smile.

What difficulties and disturbances will accompany you for a lifetime?The boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and there is another village.You can always find a way to solve it, don't worry, and don't let others worry.

"You're getting old, and you'll always come into contact with these things. Although this house belonged to us at first, it's the third owner now that it's in your hands, and it's been ruined like this. It's quite cheap to buy—it's almost Like recycling."

Takeuchi Keko: "The house will cry when it knows that its old master dislikes it so much."

Takeuchi Yuo: "You are responsible for wiping its tears."

"Originally, a sum of money was prepared for you to go abroad for gilding, but since you have been admitted to the University of Tokyo and have no intention of going abroad to study for graduate school, the money has been saved. Anyway, it is money for you to increase your experience and prepare for it. It is the same to decorate the house and increase some practical ability.”

"Do it well, but it's your own house anyway, your mother and I don't have a problem with how it looks." Takeuchi Yuo patted his daughter's shoulder, he looked sideways at Takeuchi Eko, and the girl holding Beard looked Very immature, the father raised his lips and smiled indifferently, proud but at the same time he felt a little bit reluctant.

Takeuchi Keko said with a sad face: "Does that mean I can't get reference opinions from you?"

Takeuchi Yuo: "Correct answer. When the house is settled, you can live here. It's close to your school, so you don't have to go to Kyoto."

Takeuchi Keko was taken aback for a moment, this time he really wanted to cry, and his tone was a little trembling: "Does this mean you want to kick me out?"

Takeuchi Hiroo has only one sentence: "You have grown up, Zhizi."

You have grown up and will leave your parents one day.You have to learn to get used to it slowly. Home is a harbor, but it cannot shelter you from wind and rain for a lifetime.

You have to learn to get used to it and learn to bear all the burdens of an adult. You stumble and fumble your way forward, no matter how hard you work, you can't stop.

Because life is a road that goes forward bravely and there is no turning back.
