Two little guys, Yoko Ono and Hyakujiro, were eating. Hideji Kitahara went to get his school bag to read for a while, but he couldn't help but was stunned when he picked up the school bag.
This schoolbag originally had a big hole, but now it has been sewn up, and a long strip of the Roman letters of his Japanese name was cut out and inlaid with scraps of leather that I didn't know where to find. It suddenly looked like
It has a very trendy feel - the stitching is extremely fine, not even inferior to that of a sewing machine. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it.
Kitahara Shuji touched it gently and found that it was indeed relatively strong. After studying it carefully for a while, he could not see how it was sewn on. In fact, he could also mend clothes and sew buttons, but he had to sew so well.
It really can't be done.
It looked like something that could only be done by a professional. He was a little surprised and asked: "Yangzi, did you sew this?"
Yoko was picking up rice for Hyakujiro. Hearing the sound, he raised his head in surprise and noticed the schoolbag in Kitahara Hideji's hand. He said with some guilt: "Yes, Onisan, I sewed it..."
After a pause, she was a little afraid that Kitahara Shuji wouldn't like it, and quickly explained: "Onisan's schoolbag was broken because of me. I should buy a new one for Onisan, but I... can't buy it now.
I had to use Ounisang's needlework to sew it up. I originally wanted to sew it as inconspicuously as possible, but the crack was too long and I had no choice but to..."
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became. Finally, she lowered her head and peeked at Kitahara Hideji's expression, and said vaguely: "I don't know if Onisan's classmates will laugh at Onisan. If it is a joke..."
If it was a joke, she had no choice but to say it in silence.
"The sewing is very beautiful, Yoko." Kitahara Shuji was very surprised. Seeing Ono Yoko's lack of confidence, he quickly said softly: "I originally wanted to take it to the store tomorrow and ask a professional to glue it on, but no.
It’s really impressive to think that Yoko can sew so well.”
"Don't you think it's ugly, Onisang?"
"I don't think so. I think it's quite beautiful. Thank you, Yoko." Kitahara Hideji was really satisfied. Not to mention that the sewing was so beautiful, even if the sewing was strong, it was already very good - it was better than carrying a baby anyway.
It's much better to go to school with a broken bag or spend more money to get stronger.
Ono Yoko saw that Kitahara Shuji's expression didn't look fake and seemed to really like him. She breathed a long sigh of relief and said embarrassedly: "Actually, it's nothing, Ono-san, I also learned from TV before, and
Don't thank me, Ou Ni-Sang. It's me who should thank Ou Ni-Sang. It's all because of me that I have all these troubles."
Kitahara Shuji saw that she was still struggling with what happened today, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I won't say thank you, so Yoko doesn't have to be polite. I am your brother, and it is natural for a brother to protect his sister, right?
?”
This was also what Kitahara Hideji felt. In fact, he did not completely fight for Yoko in these two fights, at most a small part. When he saw Yoko being bullied today, it reminded him of many bad memories in the past. That was really evil.
Fire rushed straight to his forehead - in his previous life, he had suffered from the arrogance of those parents of naughty children. Now, when RB met an even more unreasonable Ota Kenye, he couldn't bear it anymore and started fighting.
It was also Ota Kenye's unlucky fate that he became the substitute for the parents of all the naughty children Kitahara Hideji met before, which made Kitahara Hideji feel disgusted.
Therefore, Kitahara Shuji really felt that there was no need for Ono Yoko to take the fight to her heart and kept saying thank you. But Ono Yoko didn't think so. Kitahara Shuji was like a ray of sunshine in her gloomy life, so bright and warm.
For the first time in her life, she knew what it was like to be cared for and how secure and secure it was to be protected. More importantly, even though Kitahara Shuji always joked that she must do it when she grows up.
She remembered to pay back the money, but she could feel that Kitahara Shuji actually wanted nothing.
He stretched out his warm hands without asking for anything. Was she really treated as his sister?
She felt a little warm in her heart. When she was bullied in the past, she did fantasize about having a strong father or brother who would stand up for her when she was in danger and protect her under his wings. Now she heard Kitahara Hideji say it herself.
Saying this, it actually felt a bit illusory for a moment, and it felt like my imagination had come true.
She asked in a low voice, somewhat unconfidently: "Does Ouni-san really think of me as his sister?" Although she usually calls Ouni-san one after another, it is an honorific and is actually used to address someone who is slightly older than herself.
of boys.
"Of course, who wouldn't want a sister as good as Yoko!"
Ono Yoko raised her head and glanced at Kitahara Shuji's bright and sincere eyes, and then quickly lowered her head. She felt extremely safe and reliable just sitting next to him. She nodded very seriously and said: "I will be a good sister, Ou
Nissan, I promise!”
…
Ono Yoko stayed with Kitahara Shuji until her mother came back, and her mother was extremely drunk. Kitahara Shuci spent a lot of effort to help Ono Yoko get the drunken Yumiko into the house.
.
Looking at Yumiko who was vomiting all over again, Kitahara Shuji frowned. He didn't like this woman at all. Although a single woman with a child may indeed be a bit pitiful, there is really something hateful about poor people.
wrong.
He looked at Yumiko's rather glamorous clothes and jewelry and the brand-name bags thrown aside - maybe they were second-hand goods found in a second-hand store, or maybe they were given by his mistress - and then he looked at Yumiko who was kneeling by the side and scrubbing her body.
The filthy Yoko Ono's slightly slutty little face always felt like she was holding fire inside, and she really wanted to slap this woman to wake her up.
This woman just can't endure hardship, right? It's better to work part-time in convenience stores, gas stations and other places than to work as a female publicist and a bartender, right? Although she makes less money, her life is not unsustainable, so why bother?
?
It’s not that I look down on this person. If this woman is working hard to make money to take good care of her daughter and provide her with food, clothing, and a good education, then Kitahara Shuji will not only not be able to fart, but will also respect her. But now
This is obviously not the case. This woman basically cares about Yoko and doesn't care about him at all.
Maybe in her eyes, her daughter might be a dragster, or a free maid, but now Yoko can only spend a little money on school meals. When the expenses are slightly higher in the future, will this woman still be able to do it?
There are still two reasons to let Yoko continue studying, and it is not impossible to sell Yoko for a good price one day - never underestimate the evil side of human nature, sometimes things that happen in reality are more disgusting than the most disgusting things in novels
Even more disgusting.
Looking at this kind of mother, Kitahara Shuji didn't dare to think about how Yoko had survived for more than ten years...
"Onisan, please go back first, I can do it myself." Yoko said very considerately when she saw Kitahara Hideji frowning at the side.
She is not chasing Kitahara Hideji away. Anyway, she already knows that Kitahara Hideji will not dislike her for this kind of thing, and she is very calm - she knows that Kitahara Hideji is a person who likes to be clean, and her mother's current condition can no longer be used in such a bad way.
to describe it.
Kitahara Shuji nodded. After all, Yoko's mother is a mature woman. It is not convenient for him to stay here to change clothes or something. He rubbed Yoko's little head and said softly: "Yoko, if your mother wakes up,
I know that what happened to the Ota family is your fault, so you don’t need to be patient and run directly to me, do you understand?"
"knew."
Kitahara Shuji was still a little worried. Yoko lived a very cautious life and was afraid of causing trouble to others. If something happened if he didn't come to him, it would be a waste. So he warned again: "No matter what happens, you must do it as soon as possible."
tell me."
Yangzi felt warm in her heart and smiled sweetly at him: "I got it, Ounisang!"
Kitahara Shuji looked at her bright smile, sighed secretly, rubbed her little head and left directly.
After leaving the door, he stopped by the door and lowered his head to think for a while. There was no good solution at the moment - this was Yoko's family matter after all, and it was difficult for him to have a legitimate reason to intervene. Moreover, although Yumiko usually didn't care about her daughter, she seemed to have no idea.
He wasn't beaten or scolded every day, and at least he provided for Yoko to eat and go to school. It doesn't seem like he was being abused.
Or is it emotional abuse?
He planned to observe the situation again and see if there was any way to help Yoko improve his growing environment.
