Amami Madenori had obviously realized their proper expressions in advance, so he waited patiently.
In the suddenly cold air, Suzu Sakakihara was the first to try and ask: "Really...?"
"Natural."
"It's not a contract marriage that has to be done because of a lawsuit?"
"...Your mother and I are in a free relationship, don't think too much about it." Amami Madenori tried his best to make his expression look kinder, so as to leave a good impression in front of his brothers and sisters.
Sakakihara Suzu looked at Shigenori Amami, and then at her mother who was waiting for her reply.
The girl fell into deep thought.
Stepdad...Stepdad, suddenly there is a stepdad. Although he is indeed a handsome uncle, this matter is fundamentally difficult for her to accept.
Even though I already knew that my mother was in contact with an adult man.
But why did he suddenly remarry?
The air was quiet for ten seconds.
Sakakihara looked at her mother and said, "Mom... why did you suddenly remarry?"
Mrs. Sakakibara looked at her children’s incomprehensible expressions and understood what they were thinking.
After living in a single-parent family for more than ten years, it is normal to suddenly remarry. It is difficult to accept it.
Miwa Sakakihara had been brewing for a long time, holding the hot wall of the coffee cup with both hands, looking at the reflection in the water and said:
"A Le, and A Ling, I remember I talked to you some time ago... I should say I talked to you a long time ago, our family is not complete..."
"Mom, you have always wanted to reorganize your family?" Raku Sakakihara knew about this. After all, the single mother persisted in working alone until now, and she has been feeling lonely for a long time.
"Yes..." Mrs. Sakakibara nodded, "I also feel sorry for you. Because I am too busy with work, I have always neglected to take care of you, and you have been missing too many things on the way to your growth."<
/p>
"Mom...what are you talking about?" Suzu Sakakihara asked cautiously.
"What an opening statement."
"..."
"Okay, no more joking. You probably know this in your heart... I want to remarry."
Both Sakakihara Suzu and Sakakihara Raku expressed their affirmation by silence.
Mom wants to remarry. This is indeed a fact that has existed for a long time.
After all, as a single mother with two children, life is too difficult.
Miwa Sakakihara continued:
"Although your bastard father is a bastard, when we first came to our hometown, we were still a family, a harmonious family, and a family that gathered together to have dinner.
"Everyone can discuss the day's events, complain about the trivial matters of the day, and complain about being shoveled by others...
"But not long after arriving in Tokyo, that bastard ran away. He took away not only the backbone of the family, but also a large amount of debt from playing pachinko...
We owe money, we are still a single-parent family, and most of the time you can’t even afford meat...I have never been able to give you a complete family...how much do you eat every day?
I eat cubes of tofu for dinner, and I’m disturbed by debt collectors every day so that I can’t sleep. I watch Ah Le go out to pick up bottles every day to help make ends meet. I can’t even give him any pocket money... I
As a mother, I really can’t stand it at all.”
"..."
"As you know, I didn't have a job at that time, and no one thought highly of me. I wanted to find someone to rely on, and because I brought you two with me, the other party disliked me. Everyone said that I brought you two burdens, and they still expected me.
Can I help you raise two people?"
When Miwa Sakakihara said this, she smiled at her reflection in the coffee cup.
In Sakakihara Raku's opinion, this smile was unusually bitter and bitter.
"I have always wanted to give you a complete family, but due to various reasons, I have never been able to get the chance. Ninety-nine percent of men despise me for bringing you two with me... only Maodian does not...
.You guys, do you understand what I’m thinking? The reason A Ling was able to enter Mingde Elementary School was because Uncle Maodian helped him through his connections."
Mom’s words made the atmosphere heavy.
......
After hearing this, Sakakibara suddenly understood his mother.
I understand why my mother wants to marry the person in front of me.
On the one hand, I want to reorganize the family.
On the other hand, it is true that my mother has found someone who can treat her sincerely.
As for what my mother said about sorry for herself and A Ling.
That's pure bullshit!
How difficult must it be for a single mother to raise two children alone in that era and endure all the ravages and hardships of society to the point where she now has no worries about food and clothing?
Now that my mother has improved my living conditions and I am happy, who do I have to accuse my mother of wanting my own happiness?
Sakakihara Raku's mood calmed down a lot despite his heavy mood.
Sakakibara Suzu had a complicated expression: "But even so...Mom, you should at least discuss it with us before you get married."
Mrs. Sakakibara smiled: "Didn't I tell you before that I am dating an uncle? You know it and have seen it."
"I know, I know, but who knew you would remarry directly..."
Sakakihara Suzu whispered in a low voice, somewhat complaining.
......
It's not that they haven't considered this, but they did something wrong in this matter.
"It is true that we did this abruptly, and I'm sorry." Mrs. Sakakibara said warmly, lowering her eyes and staring at the reflection in the coffee cup, "But sometimes, some emotions cannot be explained clearly in a few words. It is true.
On impulse, Maodian suddenly said to me, let's get married... My mind went blank at the time, and I agreed without even thinking about it, and then went through the marriage procedures. I'm sorry... you have followed me for the past ten years.
I have really wronged you, just treat it as my willfulness and kill it first and then report it later.”

"There is no grievance. Mom, you have taken care of me and my brother by yourself until now. I think you should...but..."
What my mother said was calm, but it also sounded quite bitter. Sakakihara Suzu spoke incoherently, and finally opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only keep silent.
It’s not that I don’t understand the impulsive psychology that a single mother like my mom, who has been disliked by others for more than ten years, feels when a man directly says to her, “Let’s get married,” and is believed, trusted, and moved.
She began to recall various things.
The biological father disappeared without a trace ten years ago. At that time, the weak mother gritted her teeth and gritted her teeth to raise the two brothers and sisters. They even went from a small waiter to the manager of a star-rated restaurant...
...
The bitterness during this period, Sakakihara Suzu felt that she could no longer describe it in words.
And suddenly a man appeared. He was a lawyer, a mature man, rich in knowledge and culture, and he seemed to have a good personality.
Mother is like a yacht floating on the sea. After wandering for more than ten years, she finally met an ocean-going cruise ship that was willing to pull her back on board.
It's not that she can't understand this feeling of being relied on.
......
As a child, Sakakihara Suzu knows how difficult it has been for her mother in the past ten years.
They were always considered first in everything, and they wanted to move their brothers and sisters out of that dilapidated and damp old house.
And as a single mother, she did it.
And judging from the first impression alone, she does have a good impression of this uncle.
The key is that his mother really likes him.
After a long time, Sakakihara Suzu nodded in silence.
Mrs. Sakakibara smiled and said: "You agree?"
"We are already married, so we can only agree..." Sakakihara Suzu muttered.
"Where's Ale?"
"Me? I don't have any objections. As long as you are happy, mom."
Mrs. Sakakibara stood up happily, stroking her palms and said:
"Well, Ah Le, Ah Ling, we and Uncle Tianhai will be one family from now on. The new house has been bought, just over there in the port area. I came up with the money, but you, Uncle Tianhai, insisted on buying it yourself.
, and I agreed."
Minato area?
The houses over there are not cheap at all, and the better areas are completely in wealthy areas... Sakakihara Raku had an idea in his mind.
Compared with the fact that his mother remarried, he now cares more about his stepfather, Amami Maodori.
Because this stepfather’s temperament is so good.
At first glance, he looks like a cultured person, and he is not short of money.
But why do you like your own mother?
Still agree to get married?
Sakakibara Miwa smiled again and said: "By the way, Shigenori has two daughters, both are younger than A Le and older than you, A Ling. They have to wait for a while to come because of the traffic jam. I hope that next time
In the future, you can get along well."
"I know." Sakakihara Suzu glanced at the brother next to her with a strange look.
The text message reminder sounded at an inappropriate time.
"Sorry, wait a moment."
Amami Maodian apologized to the brothers and sisters, got up and left his seat, walked aside and looked at his phone, then turned back to the brothers and sisters standing there and smiled and said: "They are here, I will go out to pick them up, you can sit down for a while."
."
He left the cafe.
"A Suzu, do you think this stepfather is a little unusual?" Sakakihara Raku watched as Amami Shigenori disappeared.
"No way."
"Looking at his temperament and clothing, don't you think he is one of the social elites at first glance?"
"It seems a bit...but I am a lawyer, so this is normal."
"Compared to lawyers, I think he seems more stable."
"Brother, you don't like him?"
"The first impression is pretty good. He is a serious but approachable person."
"Then don't worry, our mother has nothing but her face. What can that lawyer lie to us? He bought the house."
"Same."
"A Suzu, come on, sit here quickly." Mrs. Sakakibara pulled her daughter to sit next to her and said something to her as a mother.
Roughly some topics to enlighten her.
Sakakibara Raku was drinking the coffee that Amami Shigenori ordered for him in advance while looking around.
I don’t know if his mother told him about his coffee preferences, but Uncle Tianhai specially ordered a bitter espresso for himself, which tasted very appetizing.
Sakakibara Raku glanced at Sakakibara Suzu's coffee cup next to him. There was a label on the top.
Blue Mountain.
It's the style she likes.
A cup here should cost about 3,000 yen, right?
Uncle Tianhai is also considerate.
I just don’t know how he treats his mother.
Just as he was thinking this, Amami Shidenori walked towards the door of the coffee shop.
Sakakibara looked over.
Behind Amami Madenori were two tall girls.
Sky blue gradient short skirt, exposed snow neck, long flaxen hair shawl.
Wait a minute, isn't this the same two twins I met before?
This is really the case.
It turns out that my last name is Tianhai is really not a coincidence.
Tianhai Maodian, Tianhai Jiuliuli, the remaining one should be Tianhai Qimingyue.
Sure enough, the world is full of wonderful coincidences.
However, if they are the daughters of Uncle Tianhai...
Doesn’t it mean that I have two more twin sisters?!
Sakakihara suddenly realized this.
At the same time, the two girls also stopped in front of everyone.
The upper body is in a white shirt with a red bow on the collar. The legs of the two girls are evenly slender. The slightly swaying skirts just stopped with the pace of the two, and they seemed to be filled with the colorful fragrance of the walk just now. "Jiu Liuli, Qi Mingyue, please introduce yourself, we will all be a family from now on." Tianhai Maodian stretched out his hand and said.
"Tianhai Jiuli." Tianhai Jiuli's small face is delicate and elegant, and her movements have a sense of reserved etiquette of a girl, which makes people think of the cherry blossom branches hanging on the river.
"Tianhai Qimingyue." Tianhai Qimingyue also nodded and bent down to the people in front of her like her sister, with obedient and correct movements.
Although the two sisters look exactly the same, their personalities can be seen to be completely different from just one or two details of their movements and expressions.
My sister is dignified and virtuous.
My sister is decent and well-behaved.
Compared to her brother's indifference, Suzu Sakakihara looked slightly surprised when she saw the two beautiful girls standing quietly opposite:
"Twins...?"
Tianhai Maodian, who was standing next to his two daughters, replied: "Yes, Jiu Liuli is my sister, she is five minutes older than Qi Mingyue."
Next, it’s time for my mother to introduce the Sakakibara siblings to the two sisters.
The Tianhai sisters are all listening.
Since half of Sakakihara Raku's face was covered by his mother, they did not recognize him immediately.
However, as soon as Mrs. Sakakibara introduced him, Amami Nanami immediately noticed him.
"Nana Mingzuki, this is my son, Sakakibara Raku...he is more than a year older than you. I should have told you about him before."
Sakakihara followed his mother's words and nodded to the two sisters whom he had met a long time ago: "Hello."
"From now on, you can try to get along well with each other. The same goes for you, A Le. From now on, you will be Xiaojiu and Xiaoqi's brother. Remember-"
Listening to Mrs. Sakakibara's explanation, Nanami Nanami tilted her head slightly. After discovering this face she had seen not long ago, the girl subconsciously connected it with an impression in her mind, and blurted out like a conditioned reflex:
"Ah, he's my sister's boyfriend."
Mrs. Sakakibara’s introduction ended, and at almost the same moment, everyone at the coffee table turned to Sakakibara’s suddenly stunned face.
