Chapter 275 Tell him I succeeded
Chapter 275 Go tell him that I succeeded
At the dinner table, Natsume Yusei was reading the newspaper, while Natsume Reiko kept picking up vegetables for Asai and cracking several raw eggs, which made Natsume Naoki's eyelids jump.
His habit of not liking raw egg and natto mixed with rice is gradually awakening, and he seems to have remembered why he has such a serious grudge against this thing.
"You told me last night that you were not just on vacation, but also busy with business?" Yusei Natsume asked after reading the newspaper.
When eating face to face, the family can tell who is talking to whom based on the tone and content of the conversation, without having to call each other by name.
Even if you have been away from this family for a long time, the family love that is thicker than water will always take away some habits and memories and hide them in your blood vessels.
Natsume Naoki looked up at his father, nodded and replied: "That's what happened. I signed a contract with a company in Hokkaido. That company is in Sapporo, more than an hour's drive from here."
"Can you drive?" Natsume Yusei asked.
Natsume Naoki nodded: "I have a certificate, but I have forgotten how to drive."
In Tokyo, he lives very close to school, so there is no need to buy a car.
I also studied for the driver's license during the summer after graduating from high school. Due to physical, mental and luck reasons, it took me a full year to get the driver's license.
He hasn't touched a car since he learned how to get his license. It might be really dangerous for him to drive now.
Natsume Yusei and Natsume Reiko looked at each other, and then both looked at Asai.
Asai was not surprised at all and said, "Then let me drive him to work."
"I'm really troubling you, Asai!" Yusei Natsume said in a serious tone.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was elbowed by his wife, complaining: "You are still called Asai?"
Natsume Yusei cleared his throat and said, "Um... from now on, uncle, I will also call you Mao. Can you wait and see?"
"Uncle, just get used to it. I don't have anything I like or dislike." Asai shook his head and said.
"Then I'll give you the key. You may also go out today, so you can drive that Santana first." Natsume Yusheng took off the key chain from his waist, counted the car keys and handed them to Asai: "I have another one in the factory.
It’s a commercial vehicle, so you don’t have to worry about uncle’s transportation.”
Asai took the bunch of keys and felt a little heavy.
It’s not just the safety of the two of them, but also the trust and acceptance shown by Naoki’s brother’s parents.
"I know, I will definitely ensure the safety of Brother Naoki...for sure!" She held the key tightly.
Natsume Yusei gave his wife a look, and Reiko understood it and quickly patted Asai's shoulder: "Don't put too much pressure on her, just think of it as going out to play and practice driving... Naoki, you can do it even if there is no one in the area.
Practice, it’s not that you don’t have a driver’s license, you’re just unfamiliar with it, you can definitely go on the road, just practice on those roads where no one has a car.”
"I know, Mom."
"Then when do you plan to go to work?" Yusei Natsume asked: "It is your first time to work and gain experience, so you have to pay attention to it."
Originally, when I heard that my son was coming back this summer vacation, Natsume Yusei planned to take him to his own factory to practice.
Whether the young master goes to the factory to inspect or goes deep into the grassroots level, he can hone himself a little bit, but the most important thing is that he can be looked after.
Now that his son has become successful and has found his own path, as a father, besides being happy, he can only give instructions on some work habits.
Natsume Naoki drank the miso soup and replied: "There is no rush yet. I will report there in three or four days. In the next few days, I will walk around the area, and... there is a place I want to visit.
"
After dinner, Natsume Naoki was in the bedroom looking at the notebook on the table and rubbing the cover.
I haven’t finished reading the notes yet, not because I deliberately left them in suspense, but from a certain place, I can’t understand what’s written on them——
The words are still familiar to me, but some of the expressions are really elusive.
The place where the diary changed was in a certain travel note:
[Today is the annual sacrificial ceremony of Teine Shrine. As a tourist attraction, the temple and shrine are built on the mountain, Teine Mountain behind the village.]
[I don’t know much about that mountain, but I know a little bit about the shrine... It is said that my mother worked as a shrine maiden there for a period of time when she was young. She was sent from the big shrine in Kyoto, and some
Like going to the countryside to teach.]
[It is said that the father and mother met at a sacrificial ceremony in a certain year. The young and energetic father fell in love with the beautiful and chic mother at a glance, and then launched an offensive called love... The mother soon fell into love.
, and then she got married naturally, quit her job as a miko, and became the proprietress of a small clothing workshop.]
[In previous years, it was the two of them who went, but this year, probably because I have grown older, they actually brought me with them... not only the three of us, but also a family of three from the Asai family next door.]
[By the way, the three people refer to Uncle Asai, Aunt Asai and cute little Mao. The big-breasted woman was not interested in this kind of religious sacrifice. She ran to Sapporo with a drawing board on her back to find an oil painting by Ishiizumi Yumi.
The master went to study painting... Hehe, it was probably an excuse to skip family activities that he didn't like and go to some beautiful mountain top to copy, maybe it was something she could do... That guy had a bad personality and only understood
Aunt Asai has a bad side, but she has not learned the good side at all. As expected, I still prefer Aunt Asai who is strong and full of vitality to that hateful big-breasted woman!]
It was this seemingly innocent travel diary that made the second half of the diary become boring.
Natsume Naoki turned to the next page and it read:
[He saw that I was different, but he didn't know what was different about me. I don't know how he saw it. He thought that I was one of those legends in myths that people were born with, such as the reincarnation of Susanoo...
…I’m not interested in Japanese mythology, but I’m sure his judgment was wrong. I’m just a guy who got a second chance.]
There is no explicit mention here that he is a reincarnation. Naoki Natsume thought that he might have been worried that the diary might be lost and someone might peek at it.
Who does this "he" refer to?
After that, it was a very peaceful daily life. The diary recorded the happy life with the online female apprentice, the little lolita next door and my sister-in-law. The ups and downs of the past few months were all recorded in one stroke.
In the winter when I was seven years old, my diary came to an abrupt end——
Some pages were torn out.
But it's not completely over.
The torn-up diary only recorded what happened in a certain month, or so he guessed.
I counted the torn pieces of paper, there were about six or seven.
Then I restarted the diary at the point when I was eight years old - my memory was lost!
[Things have already happened. I wrote this diary in a hurry. I am going to Teine Shrine to find him now. Maybe some of the things I discussed with him can come true... No, it must succeed!]
[I know without thinking that the old man will definitely say that I am crazy... Hehe, if I succeed and haven't forgotten everything, I will definitely tell him. How will you know if you don't try?]
[If...I mean if, when you, that is, I read this diary again but can't remember anything...Oh, it's quite miserable to think about it. But if this is the case, remember to go to Teine Shrine
Find an old man whom everyone respects as a priest, and tell him this sentence——]
[‘I succeeded.’]
