Haibu Restaurant.
"Salted peanuts are ready."
"Two bottles of warm wine."
Haisa was as busy as a butterfly, a real butterfly. She had taken on a new look and became the center of attention of the restaurant. She shuttled back and forth like a butterfly. The old customers had never realized that the daughter of the restaurant was so beautiful.
Erina looked at the energetic Haibu Sha and smiled. She then looked at Mizuno who was busy cutting vegetables. "Mizuno-kun, are you having a hard time with your studies?"
"Still the same."
Mizuno had a headache when it came to his studies. He had been busy with other things for the past few days and had forgotten about his studies.
His previous self was an average student. If he really was a genius, it would be difficult for him to act like one. After all, the textbooks in China were different from those in the Island nation.
It seemed that he had to catch up on his studies tonight. After all, he still needed to integrate into the modern society and not be a lone ranger.
The starting point of this body was too low. Without relying on supernatural means, the fastest way to enter the middle class or even the upper class was through education.
"Only by studying hard will you have a bright future. The modern society is one where education is everything. If you don't get into a good university, it will be hard for you to support your family in the future," Erina said sincerely.
After Erina finished high school, she started helping out at home. Later, because she was young, she misjudged someone and ended up marrying to Kyushu Island. After that, there was a period of domestic violence that she couldn't bear to look back on. She brought Kaisa back to Tokyo, but in the end, she was still pestered all the way to Tokyo.
Every time she thought about her misjudgment when she was young, Erina could not help but feel sad.
If she could calm down and recognize the other person's nature, her life would be different now. She was only in her thirties, but she always felt weak.
Although Mizuno Sora came from a poor family, he had a good heart and a spirit of endurance. Xiao Sha also had a good impression of him. It would be a good ending for the two of them to be together.
However, Erina was determined to observe Mizuno's nature. She could not let the tragedy that happened to her happen to Xiao Sha.
"Um." Shui Ye nodded in agreement. There was no sign of impatience on his face when young people were lectured.
He had experienced it in his past life and agreed with Erina's words.
Japan was a society where academic qualifications were more important than China. In China, there were at least stories of people who had studied in junior high school and primary school to become outstanding people. In Japan, the school you graduated from basically determined your social class for life.
Taking the police as an example, the police were divided into the professional group, the quasi-professional group, and the non-professional group. The first level of the quasi-professional group had to pass the country's Class A Civil Servant Examination. After entering the job, they would start off as a supplementary member of the police force. As for the non-professional group, which made up the majority of the police force, the best they could do was to be promoted to the police force.
But for the professional group, it was a sure thing to enter the police force within a few years after graduation. Although the professional group nominally accepted graduates from various universities, in reality, the elites who could enter the professional group after graduation were all elite students from Eastern University.
Therefore, in Island nation, it was true that one exam determined one's life. A normal university student could not compete with a famous university graduate who had only worked for a few years.
"Mom, what are you and Mizuno-kun talking about?" Haibu Sha wiped the sweat on her forehead and walked backstage.
"We're talking about the future," Erina smiled. "Mizuno-kun hopes to get into a good university in the future."
"As expected of Mizuno-kun."
Haibu Sha looked at Mizuno-kun with admiration. Although Mizuno-kun's academic performance was average, someone like Mizuno-kun could become a scholar in school if he was a little more serious.
Mizuno felt that there was an invisible burden on his shoulders as he looked at Hirina treating him as his future son-in-law.
In his two lives, this was the first time he became a son-in-law, although he was only a quasi-son-in-law.
Haibu Sha was already thinking about other problems.
Even if Mizuno-kun didn't get into a good university, it didn't matter. Even if it was a normal university, it didn't matter if he found a normal job after graduating. What she wanted was not a luxurious life, as long as the two of them could live an ordinary life together, it would be fine.
The scumbag father and the experience of being bullied had left a deep shadow on her, causing her standards of happiness to be very low.
This made Haibu Sha think of Mizuno-kun's "hmm" in the morning. If he was a little bolder, would they have established a relationship now?
Carrying the lunch for tomorrow morning, Mizuno returned home.
But he first knocked on the door next to him, and Mai Sada's little head popped out.
"Big Monster, what's the matter?" She had already changed the way she addressed him from perverted man to big monster.
Mizuno leaned against the wall, this big monster was much better than the perverted man, and it seemed more cool, "Big Monster brought you food, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
He silently said sorry to Haibu Sha in his heart, if Haibu Sha knew that the lunch she gave to him was in Sada's stomach, he didn't know how sad she would be.
Mai Sada first withdrew her hand, and then reached out to take the lunch.
The two of them had experienced life and death together, and they could be considered as friends who had gone through life and death together — at least in Mai Sada's eyes.
Holding the door with her hand, Mai Sada's lips moved for a few seconds, and then she said softly, "Thank you."
After taking the lunchbox, Sada went to the house and rubbed her reddened eyes. The lunchbox that the great monster gave her was still steaming. At first glance, she knew it wasn't a cheap lunchbox from a convenience store.
It was very sad to say that she only ate a free lunch at school at noon, and when she returned home in the early morning, Sada was embarrassed to find that there was no money at home.
She went to ask the big monster next door to borrow money, but Sada felt embarrassed, so she basically endured the day with an empty stomach.
"I'm going to eat." Whispering, Sada opened the package outside the lunch box.
But after eating the dinner, what should she do tomorrow morning?
Forget it, it's better to go to bed early, that way it will consume a lot less.
Also, she can sleep at night with her stomach strangled, that would be even better.
The moment she opened the package, Sada's hands trembled slightly.
A thousand-dollar bill with Noguchi Hideshi's name printed on it was placed on the top of the lunch box. The bill was not very new, and it was a little old, but it was neatly spread, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't notice it.
Her hand holding the chopsticks suddenly trembled, and then her eyes turned red.
"Thank you, thank you." Mai Sada bit her lip, and couldn't help nodding and wiping away her tears.
The big tears fell on Noguchi Hideshi's face on the bill, and his old face relaxed a lot.
Listening to Sada sobbing and thanking him outside the door, Mizuno smiled and shook his head.
