About my unintentional making my sister into a useless person Chapter 113 Even if you are as strong as Jiuliuli, there will be a day when you are moved to tears by food?

Tianhai Nine Glaze.
In Kambaraku's impression, colored glaze is a colorful object.
Just like the brilliance it diffuses, it always brings people a positive and optimistic attitude.
The same goes for Tianhai Jiuliuli...serious, gentle, outgoing character but also reserved.
Well, such a generous girl also has unhappy moments. While listening to her talk about her mother, the plum rain in June was still falling gently and slowly outside.
"When I was young, Nanami Mingzuki and I lived at home in Chiyoda District. I still know that home very well. There were crooked trees, weeds peeking out from among the road stones, ivy and mottled paint.
Iron gate.
"Because we couldn't leave home, Qi Mingyue and I would always sit together after practicing piano in the morning, looking at the window higher than us, seeing the blue sky and the chirping birds standing on the branches. We would quietly
We have watched for a long time, on sunny days, rainy days, cloudy days... We have observed that the fewest birds stay in windy weather."
Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled lightly.
"Qi Mingyue would often point to the birds and say to me, that one is called a sparrow, that one is called a white wagtail, that one is a starling, and that one is a thrush. She also told me that thrushes generally only appear in autumn and winter, so they are very common most of the time.
You rarely see them."
Kanbaru noticed that Jiu Liuli had a smile on her face when she was talking about this paragraph.
Watching birds during recess... This kind of thing is particularly boring for children who are naturally active, but in Jiuliuli's mouth, it is as happy as getting a favorite toy.
"Uncle asked you to learn a lot of things before, right?" Kambara thought of Jiuliuli's piano performance on the day of the dinner.
"Well, etiquette, calligraphy, literary skills, sitting and standing postures are all things that need to be learned. Each thing takes a long time to learn, and many times it takes a whole day to learn."
"Would you feel bored?"
"Are you bored? I can't describe it, maybe... I practice piano for a day, a week, a month, a year, every day... Well, I think there is boredom, but I also know that this is also
What I have to learn is to persevere even if my fingers hurt, maybe they are just numb.
"However, although my parents are very strict, Qi Mingyue and I don't blame them because we know they are for our own good. In fact, I have benefited a lot now."
Now Jiuliuli has excellent grades, excellent sports, excellent piano, and is truly the number one in the school in kyudo.
It must have been influenced by my childhood.
"At that time, I was very tired and had almost no time to rest. I played piano in the morning, calligraphy in the afternoon, and etiquette in the evening... My father arranged many teachers for Qi Mingyue and me. At the same time, in order to avoid reporters inquiring about my mother from disturbing us,
We spent most of the time hiding in that room and couldn't come out."
Kanbaru still remembers what Jiuliuli told him about his mother.
A popular star in the prime of life in the UK was suddenly revealed to be pregnant, and the entire entertainment industry was tracking her husband's identity.
Later, Uncle Tianhai's identity was found out, and everyone knew that he was the first heir to a traditional Japanese family pharmaceutical group.
After learning about her husband, the reporters turned their attention to their children, who had never been seen.
Everyone wants to know what the secret children of big stars are like.
The family at that time was unbearable, which indirectly led to the failure of the uncle and aunt's marriage.
"Before I was five years old, my mother spent most of the time with me Qi Mingyue. When I was five years old, my mother and father divorced... Although I don't know the reason, they had a fight at that time, and I didn't understand the content at the time.
, I can’t remember clearly now. But I vaguely sense that it’s about the future development direction of Qi Mingyue and me.”
Kanbaru held the tea cup and frowned: "Is it your aunt's idea to take you and Qi Mingyue abroad?"
"Yeah." Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded, "I can't remember the content clearly, but my father and mother have different opinions. Because of the talents Qi Mingyue and I have shown in music, my mother wants Qi Mingyue and me to develop abroad.
Study abroad.
"Her arrangement - she participated in a Liszt International Piano Competition at the age of 10 and won first place, the Ettlingen International Piano Competition in Germany at the age of 11, the Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians Competition at the age of 14,
At that time, I won the Chopin International Piano Gold Medal... Qi Mingyue is just like me.
"My mother said to me and Qi Mingyue, you are outstanding, and as twin sisters, if you appear on the world stage with such a young attitude, the next road, whether it is in the music festival or the entertainment industry, will be great.
Get the attention of the whole world."
This is the pressure Aunt Bertha puts on Jiuliuli and Qi Mingyue.
At a young age, he has to travel to various international competitions.
Tianhai Jiuliuli continued: "My father had the opposite opinion. He couldn't let my mother take Qi Mingyue and me abroad. I didn't understand it at the time, but I know it now. He didn't like those foreign media reporters. He thought that I
He and Qi Mingyue have already been harassed by those guys, and now they actually run over to greet them?"
Uncle did a good job.
Although my aunt is a bit radical, considering Jiuliuli's talent at the piano, she will definitely have a smooth career.
No, given Aunt Bertha's top influence in the European entertainment industry, the future achievements of her twin daughters, Jiuliuli and Qi Mingyue, cannot be described as "smooth sailing".
It should be "unstoppable".
Both parents can only say that their starting points are different.
But what matters most is the opinions of Jiuliuli and Qimingyue themselves.
But for adults... they really don’t consider their children’s feelings when making big decisions.
"What do children know?" This is a common refrain among all parents.
"What did you think about Jiuliuli yourself at the time?"
This sentence made Tianhai Jiuliuli silent for a long time.
"I was too young at that time, and I just knew that my parents were going to separate. I didn't know the reason, but I just knew that they were going to separate..."
"...Jiu Liuli?"
"Sorry, brother, I was a little distracted."
Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled at him again.
Kanbaru Raku was heartbroken at the moment. It was understandable to get a divorce because of differences of opinion, but it was the children who were hurt.
As a child, you will always look forward to your parents’ response.
It's been a long time ago, but Kagawa Raku also vaguely remembers the time in his previous life when he was still a little kid crying and looking for his mother... This is nothing to be embarrassed about, it's just human nature.
Although I never found my mother in the end...
Jiuliuli must also feel this way.
Looking at my mother, whom I have known and relied on since childhood, taking a plane and flying to England thousands of kilometers away. That little figure was watching by the window, missing her mother... It makes my heart hurt to think about it.
Thinking back to the photos of Jiu Liuli and her mother when she was a child that she had seen on Qi Mingyue's mobile phone, Jiu Liuli showed a cute scissor-hands smile to the camera, and Kambara felt a sense of boredom in her chest.
After all these years, Jiuliuli is still very happy and smiling generously...
The smile does not mean that she is relieved of the matter, but as Qi Mingyue said, "My sister has been hiding it all the time."
The quarrel between mother and Uncle Tianhai probably brought back memories of Jiuliuli's past.
It made her feel uncomfortable.
"Because the divorce was processed in a Japanese court... the custody rights of Qi Mingyue and I were awarded to my father.
"On the day we parted, my mother smiled and said hello to Qi Mingyue and me. She smiled and touched our heads, then left with her suitcase and went back to England... At that time, Qi Mingyue and I
Mingyue watched her mother get on the plane. I remember that she was wearing a beautiful long white dress and a summer straw hat with white flowers on it... As she was leaving, she turned around and waved to us...
”
"Jiu Liuli, there's no need to say anything if you feel uncomfortable." Kanyuan Lailai gradually realized that something was wrong with her.
"It's okay, brother...it's been so many years..." Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled again, her eyes were very beautiful.
Just say it and pass.
In fact, I still care about it very much...
For the first time, Kambaraku deeply understood Jiu Liuli’s inner difficulties.
After Tianhai Jiuliuli took a sip of tea, he held the cup with both hands, looked at the reflection in the cup and continued:
"Before this, although I was very tired every day and busy studying every day, my mother would still secretly take us out of the house that was half occupied by ivy, and secretly take Qi Mingyue and I out to eat some delicious food. See you
Some entertainment facilities that I have never seen before and children I have never met...
"Even though there was a possibility of being photographed by some strange strangers, she still took Qi Mingyue and me out... I still remember that the question most asked by children at that time was 'Why do you look the same?'
...I can’t answer it. Qi Mingyue can simply say that she and her sister are twins.
"My mother left, and my father rarely took us out... more because he wanted to protect us. Because when my mother secretly took us out, we were secretly photographed. At that time, many people suddenly gathered in front of my mother and asked some very important questions.
It was so messy that I couldn’t understand the words... Qi Mingyue and I could only hide behind our mother, not knowing what to do.
"In the following days, in order to replace my mother's time with me and Qi Mingyue, my father began to take some time to take Qi Mingyue and me to his study room... There are many books in my father's study room, which we can read
Books that we can’t understand. Normally, my father would let Qi Mingyue and I learn to write, and there were etiquette requirements. In the study room, he didn’t restrict anything, even Qi Mingyue casually put his books on the ground.
Mind you, he will occasionally tell us stories, although they are all stories that are hard to understand..."
"Because Qi Mingyue learns Chinese characters faster than I do, she reads more and more seriously than I do. I am more easily distracted and often look at the iron gate of the front yard behind the glass window of my father's study in a daze.
I imagined my father telling us that my mother was back from England, and I imagined my mother getting out of the car at the door, carrying a bag, and bringing many delicious British snacks to Qi Mingyue and me."
"Is there no servant at home?" Kanbaru asked.
"It was there at the beginning, but then it disappeared." Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't seem to explain the reason. "After my mother got divorced, she would come back to visit us every other month at first, but the time became farther and farther apart.
Month, two months, three months, half a year, one year...
"Since then, I haven't waited for my mother for more than a year. I... Every night when Qi Mingyue fell asleep, I would take the gifts my mother gave me, sneak into my father's study, and sit quietly
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the rusty iron door outside... I thought, if I wait for my mother longer, she will come back to see Qi Mingyue and me, right? What will she bring here to see this time?
We Qi Mingyue should also be very happy, right?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli's tone became lower and lower, in this rainy weather.
Uncomfortable...Kanahara music becomes more and more uncomfortable the more you listen to it.
Try to imagine that in the middle of the night, a little girl secretly got up and came to the window, hugging her legs, quietly waiting for her mother to come back to visit her and her sister, hoping that she would bring novel toys and snacks again.
The look of a person waiting quietly made Kanbaru feel very distressed.
How long has she waited?
Missing my mother will probably wait forever, for a few hours or a whole night, or for another year, it's possible.
But Jiuliuli is a very sensible child and will not take the initiative to tell her parents what she wants... This means that she can tolerate everything in her heart.
Indirectly, Kanbaru couldn't help but question Aunt Bertha.
Why haven’t you come to see your daughter for a year?
Do you know how uncomfortable it is for her to wait?
In the air of seemingly endless silence, Kanbaru saw her uncomfortable mood and subconsciously put his arms around her petite shoulders.
So that she can lean on his shoulder.
Tianhai Jiuliuli showed no resistance.
Instead, after leaning in, I felt a little relieved and looked at Tokyo in silence outside the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows.
......
If Jiuliuli and Qi Mingyue were half a pair of caged birds in their childhood, then in their lives, their mother was the window to observe the world, the novelty of realizing things they had never seen before, the happiness of knowing other children who had never known them before, and the joy of eating. Something I have never eaten before.
Not unimportant.
My beloved father and mother suddenly separated. I can no longer see the mother I loved before, and the tired but still complete and happy family is no longer there.
Jiuliuli is burdened with these things in her heart.
Kanbaru understood this and looked at Tianhai Jiuliuli's little face, feeling a little more understanding.
No matter how mature Jiu Liuli is, no matter how much she has the responsibility of a gentle sister, she is still fifteen years old. Feeling uncomfortable inside, she did not choose to cry or pray, but silently sealed this feeling in her heart.
As a sister, Jiuliuli must have known herself very early.
I know that I can't show my weak side in front of my sister, so I make myself strong and become so good that I can gradually take over everything.
Kanbaru looked at the clock in the living room and saw that it was already six o'clock in the evening.
What you can see from the huge living room and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the high-rise scenery of Tokyo. The gray rain seems to have soaked everything, making the edges of the city cold and dark.
"Jiu Liuli." Kanhara took a breath, as if to help her relax, and shouted to her with a smile.
"Yeah." Tianhai Jiuliuli gently left his shoulder.
"Is there anything you want to eat?"
"Now?"
"Yes, it's already six o'clock, you must be very hungry. I can understand your unhappiness, but it's not your fault that your parents quarreled. I also know how you felt when your parents divorced when you were a child. Haha, if I say To say that I can completely comfort you and take you out of the sadness is definitely an exaggeration...but as an audience, I can still help you share some of your unhappiness."
Kanbaru said with a smile.
I felt that speaking like this was not enough, so I started talking about my own affairs again:
"Although I don't own the story you told me, it doesn't matter to me that my father suddenly disappeared... But I can completely understand your mood and imagine your expectation and waiting... It's funny to say it, I When A-Ling and I were young, what we looked forward to was money and bread, but A-Ling also wanted one more toy.
"I remember it was on a snowy day, as if it was like a fairy tale. At night I took A Ling back home from my mother's house and walked to the commercial street. She was attracted by a doll. The doll's eyes and smile were very beautiful. It’s so cute, Ah Ling fell in love with it at first sight. I still remember her standing on her feet in the snowy weather, holding on to the window, looking inside, and then turned around and said to me, I want this.
"Her tone was pleading, even expecting, but I could only smile bitterly in return.
"5800 yen... If you don't eat meat and choose tofu or other dishes, this is equivalent to half a month's meal expenses. How can you afford it...
"I told A-Ling very realistically that we can't afford it now, and we can't buy it for you. After A-Ling heard it, she was very sad, but I then told her that we can't afford it now, but we will definitely buy it in the future. If you can afford it, trust me, and I will help you buy it in the future... I smiled at her and held out my little finger, and she especially trusted me at that time, and smiled at me, and we became brother and sister. agreement.
"I said those words because I always firmly believe in a truth.
"When you reach the bottom of the valley, the only way left is "up"... The scenery at the bottom of the valley is not completely dark. If you keep your feet on the ground and raise your head, there will be hope shining ahead.
"Just work hard and try harder. Complaining can't change the status quo. This is what my mother has always done.
"And the fact is the same now. My mother has come out of the bottom, her job is better, her life is better, and A Ling can afford to buy what she wants... Although I no longer need to go under the vending machine to pick up coins You bought some snacks, so it’s a good thing to see her living comfortably...
"Haha, having said all that, I actually hope you won't dwell too much on the past, Jiuliuli! Your mother is very important to you, and Qi Mingyue and Uncle Tianhai are also very important to you. They don't want you to be unhappy, Jiuliuli. I am depressed by what happened in the past... As an elder brother, I don’t want you to be unhappy, Jiuliuli!
"So, be happy, I can cook for you!
"Haha, would Jiu Liuli be surprised if he calls himself his elder brother so seriously?"
"No, I am a really good brother. I also receive a lot of care from him."
"Well, that's good if you think so. I always believe that in a family, feelings are far more important than blood ties. Feelings are the bond of family members, and blood ties...Haha, won't you abandon them when it's time to abandon them? So, now we have
Jiuliuli, whom everyone is concerned about, should not stay in the past!"
"Brother..."
Tianhai Jiuliuli shouted softly, "Brother", this shout had a special feeling.
Because she could carefully observe that Kanhara was using his smile to help her dispel her sadness and the boredom of rainy days.
"I'll go get you something to eat." Kanhara smiled cheerfully and said to her.
"Hmm."
"Sit down and don't come to help! Let me make you a meal alone. This is a brother's care and concern for his sad sister."
"..."
When I came to the kitchen, I found that the only ingredients were potatoes and bread.
Just keep it simple, just slices of buttered bread and baked potatoes.
Fry the bread with butter, cut the potatoes into cubes, add the processed onions, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and cheese, then bake it in the oven at 190 degrees for half an hour. During this period, I made some of the same things I made for Jiuliuli before.
Appetizers and a glass of warm milk.
Tianhai Jiuliuli silently watched his neat movements throughout the whole process.
In order to ensure that there is no problem with the smell, Kambaraku washes everything very clean.
When everything was done, Shen Yuanle brought the things in front of Jiuliuli.
"It's done. The baked potatoes can be sandwiched between slices of bread and butter. I originally wanted to cook you some meat, but I went home for a run today, haha, and forgot to buy groceries."
"..."
Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at the food he enthusiastically brought to her and stared at it for a long time.
The potatoes are hot and have the unique aroma of baking.
Familiar scent...but completely different...
Her mind seemed to drift back to the past...
Kagura Raku found that she had been looking at this kind of food for a long, long time.
Then, she said, she picked up the spoon and took a bite.
"How was it?"
She blurted out the habitual question... Kanbaru thought she would directly say thank you to her brother, but unexpectedly, there was a slight glimmer of light in the corners of her eyes.
