To be honest, Ms. Matsumae is quite strong inside. She can still maintain such an image after experiencing so many changes.
In short, today I tutored the eldest daughter of the Matsumae family for a day. The experience and the work were much better and easier than Fujii Itsuki had imagined.
With the help of the professor, Matsumae Shinchun obviously became much closer to him.
When saying goodbye, Matsumae Shinharu was also very polite.
Before going to the shrine, she personally saw Fujii Itsuki off to the doorstep of her home.
She stood in the light snow, waved goodbye to me with a smile, and said that she was looking forward to meeting Teacher Fujii again tomorrow.
He is so mature and decent that you don't look like a child of fifteen or sixteen at all.
Professor Fujinomiya's daughter.
What a coincidence, I never expected to meet you here.
Soon after getting in the car, Fujii Itsuki subconsciously recalled the teardrop mole under the right corner of Matsumae Shinharu's eye. It was so beautiful.
When Matsumae Shinharu leaves the Matsumae household, he seems to be heading to the shrine.
On the way back to Otaru in the Maybach, Fujii Itsuki asked Nagayama Sakura about this question.
Butler Nagayama smiled and replied, "The eldest daughter of each generation of the head of the family will serve as the 'goddess' of Matsumae Shrine and preside over the sacrifices in the shrine. Miss Matsumae will go to the shrine every night to practice Shinto rituals until late at night."
Until late at night every day?
so tired?
Fujii Itsuki remembered that Matsumae Shinchun had been maintaining the same focused state today, and he could not help but frowned and asked:
"Ms. Matsumae has been studying all the time, right? She even joined the wind band, so she must have taken some music-related courses."
"Yes."
"Isn't this too much of a burden for a sixteen-year-old? She has to balance her studies with participating in rituals and Shinto events as a miko of Matsumae Shrine. She must also be practicing family etiquette and her artistic hobbies at the same time."
"Haha, Mr. Fujii, you are joking. These are all necessary requirements for being the eldest daughter of the Matsumae family."
"."
Fujii Itsuki didn't say anything else.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
This sentence also applies to the identity of the eldest daughter of the Matsumae family.
Chapter 22 The girl's heart is lonely
Buzz-buzz-
Fujii Itsuki put down the book and reached for the mobile phone on the bedside table. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was a call from the agent, so he answered the call.
"Hey."
[Hello!]
The person on the other end of the phone was very enthusiastic.
[Mr. Fujii! We have found the caregiver you are looking for. She is 46 years old, female, and a native of Otaru Shukutsu. It takes less than half an hour to walk to and from the welfare home you mentioned.]
Really fast.
Apart from anything else, this guy Nonaka is quite efficient.
"learn."
[that is]
Fujii Itsuki heard the hidden meaning in this guy's words, "Tell me, what's the problem?"
[This caregiver does not have a caregiver certificate and is not a real caregiver, so when signing the contract, some flexibility must be applied.]
In Japan, to work as a nursing assistant you usually need to meet certain regulations and qualification requirements, which is a certificate, which is equivalent to a nursing license and is very difficult to pass.
[Mr. Fujii, do you mind? It's not that I don't want to find better conditions for you, but the population of Otaru is so low right now. I'm sure you know the current situation.]
Indeed, there are not many people in Otaru now, so it is good enough to find someone willing to work in the welfare home.
understand.
“What are your salary requirements?”
[Her salary requirement is exactly what you said, 180,000, but insurance is not included.]
Fujii Itsuki nodded, "So what is her character like? Are there any additional requirements?"
[No, please rest assured, her character can be guaranteed, and she only asks to eat at the welfare home.]
This condition is acceptable.
"Okay, then. What time should I go there tomorrow? I'm not free during the day. You know what I've been doing lately. It's usually around 7 or 8 o'clock when I get back to Otaru at night."
[It's OK in the evening. I will work overtime and pick you up at your home in person. You bring the agency fee and sign the labor contract, and everything will be OK.]
"Row."
[Okay, fine then. I won’t disturb you, Mr. Fujii, and we’ll see you tomorrow.]
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone, Fujii Itsuki put down his phone, leaned on it, and calculated how many months his current money could help the welfare home.
The nurse earns 18 yuan a month. If social insurance is included, the monthly expenses are roughly 18 yuan.
With the 50 given by the Matsumae family and the more than 280 million that the dean saved for him, his current savings are more than 330 million.
This money can probably sustain the caregiver's work for 18 months.
This is the case when all savings are used to support caregivers, excluding living expenses.
Yesterday during the day when I was tutoring Miss Matsumae, Aunt Keiko called from the welfare home and said that the director only slept less than five hours a day for the children, doing the laundry and cooking, and it was too much work. She was already old, and if this continued, the director's body might not be able to hold on.
Therefore, it is necessary to help the welfare home hire caregivers.
But this is not a long-term solution.
This is because if Zhujin's economy had not improved in the past year or so, and the city government's funding remained so small, let alone funding for hiring new contract workers, the welfare home would most likely have to close down.
He couldn't bear to think that the orphanage where he had grown up and the director's decades of hard work had ended up like this.
After much thought, it still comes down to one word - money.
He currently has no good way to make money. With his identity and the knowledge he has, becoming a teacher again is indeed the best choice.
Taisho Tachibana Kita is a private college with a long history. If he could become a full-time employee there, his salary would definitely be high enough to cover his monthly expenses.
But for some reason, although he clearly didn't care whether he was a teacher again, when it came to going back to his old life, he felt a sense of resistance in his heart.
My new ideal was to open a cafe in Hokkaido, but due to money issues, there was no follow-up.
Fujii Itsuki looked up at the extravagantly carved ceiling in the house and was again troubled by the same question: Did he really return to Otaru just to open a cafe in Hokkaido in the future?
The next morning, Fujii Itsuki got up on time as usual, put on his suit, got in the Maybach that Nagayama Sakura drove to pick him up, and headed to the Matsumae Garden.
At the end of the year, it snows in Otaru even for a single day, and today it is all white.
"Has Mr. Fujii always lived alone in that house?"
"Why do you ask this, Mr. Yongshan?"
"Nothing, I'm just a little curious. I only saw Mr. Fujii in this big house when I came here a few days ago. Did Mr. Fujii ask someone to rent it?"
Fujii Itsuki heard the question from the driver's seat, stared at the wipers sliding on the window, and said softly:
"It's not like I live alone. There's also the landlord's daughter. But she's not at home these days."
".I see. Does Mr. Fujii have any relationship with the owner of the house?"
When Nagayama Sakura asked this, Fujii Itsuki suddenly realized that in history, the Matsumae family and the Kuka family had a close relationship.
The Matsumae family serves as the backing of the Kuka family, and the Kuka family serves as the Matsumae family's exclusive merchants, helping the Matsumae family communicate with local residents and conduct trade with foreign forces.
At that time, the two families often intermarried and had a very good relationship.
"No, Mr. Yongshan, you're overthinking it. I just met the landlord by chance. Through the relationship with the dean, I'm just staying here for a few days."
"I understand. Thank you Mr. Fujii for your patient answer."
After that, there was silence all the way.
Fujii Itsuki knew that Nagayama Sakura was trying to find out his background through chatting.
After all, Matsumae Shinharu is the eldest daughter of the Matsumae family and has a very high status.
The master of the Matsumae family seems to love his daughter very much, so this level of concern is understandable.
Fujii Itsuki had already prepared the papers that Matsumae Shinchun needed for her tutoring, so today's homework was still to do the exercises, and he would explain the parts she didn't understand.
This girl is truly a genius.
He hardly needed to repeat himself for her to understand the point.
"sharp."
"The teacher is so complimentary."
"Ms. Matsumae has basically never been ranked first in school, right?"
Matsumae Shinchun lowered her tear-stained brows and said, "I'm embarrassed to admit it, but it's true."
Fujii Itsuki was marking the homework, and he would basically circle the questions answered by Matsumae Shinharu with just a quick glance.
"All right. You are such a genius. Miss Matsumae, your aptitude for studying is just like your mother's." He couldn't help but sigh.
Matsumae Shinchun was stunned for a long time when he heard this, "Is mother very powerful?"
Fujii Itsuki smiled, "Ms. Matsumae, you are joking. Professor Fujinomiya's talent is recognized in the school. It's not just her literature. Her learning ability in other fields is also first-class. Professor Fujinomiya's works are deeply loved by the people in the Swedish Academy. Although they are not very famous in the public field, there was a popular saying in our Kyoto University that in a few decades, Professor Fujinomiya will probably have a place in the Nobel Prize for Literature."
"My mother is so amazing"
Fujii Itsuki felt strange.
Professor Matsumae passed away on a snowy day six years ago. Miss Matsumae was probably nine or almost ten years old at that time. She should have had a deep impression of her mother.
