I Teach Kendo in Tokyo

Chapter 515: A drifting way of thinking

Views:

Mikako lingered in the dojo until seven or eight o'clock as usual, and then returned to her home.

Because of the incident, this time He Ma personally sent her to the downstairs of his house.

"Shouldn't we kiss goodbye?" Mikako who was standing at the door of her house asked with a smile.

He Ma patted her on the head: "Although you are injured today, I can give you some preferential treatment, but this is not included in the preferential treatment."

"Stingy." Mikako complained, pouted.

He Ma patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go back."

After finishing speaking, Hema turned and left.

Mikako stood outside the entrance of her house, watching Kazuma's figure disappear, and then turned and entered the house.

"Mom, I'm back!" she yelled as she took off her shoes.

"We heard something when you were at the door!" Ms. Fujii appeared with her hands on her hips, "When I saw you on the news today, I thought you were going to spend the night at the dojo, but you came back!"

Mikako sighed and said, "Mom, what are you thinking, there are several people in the dojo now, even if I stay overnight in the dojo, nothing you imagined will happen."

"Hmph, I see you, there is no hope, let's find something to think about the way out." Ms. Fujii scolded with a straight face.

Mikako took off her shoes, put them in order, and then stepped on her tatami in slippers. She walked past Ms. Fujii and went straight to the kitchen: "I'm thirsty, do you have barley tea?"

"Yes, save some for your father," Ms. Fujii said.

Mikako went into the kitchen, took out barley tea from the refrigerator, drank it mouth to mouth, and finally put the bottom of the bottle in the refrigerator.

Ms. Fujii hurriedly stopped her: "You only put in the leftovers! I'll pour you some new ones after drinking!"

"You asked me to save some for Dad, so I didn't finish it." Mei Jiazi complained, poured the remaining barley tea into her mouth, and took the bottle to find a new one.

When she was busy in front of the stove, she suddenly said, "By the way, Mom, I got the chance to study abroad."

Ms. Fujii frowned: "What opportunity to study abroad? Which country to go to?"

"Go to England, go to Cambridge as an exchange student."

"Don't speak English, I don't understand."

"Going to Cambridge, Cambridge, in England." Mikako repeated.

However, Japanese imported languages have always had a tradition of transliteration, so the name "Cambridge University" is still pronounced using katakana.

Ms. Fujii frowned: "What the hell?"

"It's a university, it's in the UK. Don't worry about it, anyway, it's good to know that it's the most powerful university in the UK, which is equivalent to the University of Tohoku in the UK."

Ms. Fujii looked at a loss: "Who got the opportunity to study in this Cambridge?"

Mikako pointed at herself with her index finger.

Ms. Fujii's expression seemed to disbelieve her statement: "How is it possible! Unless all the professors in your school are funny, I will choose you."

"Maybe he's just a joke." Mikako shrugged. "Anyway, after today's incident, Professor Guoli—that is, the chairman of our school's professors' association, came to me and asked me if I wanted to study abroad."

Ms. Fujii: "Do they think you are always making troubles and want to send you away as soon as possible?"

"It's possible." Mikako looked at the ceiling and suddenly laughed out loud, "Think about it carefully, this is the biggest possibility. Hurry up and send this troublemaker away, or I will turn our school into a den of the left wing .”

Ms. Fujii sighed: "When will you be able to use your energy in making troubles to cook mature rice with Kiryu Junsheng rice!"

"Oh, one size is one size. So, should I go to this study abroad?"

"Of course not! You went to study abroad, and if you go there for several years, wouldn't that mean you have completely left the competition of the dojo proprietress?"

Mikako pursed her lips, looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, and said, "But thinking about it the other way around, if I go to study abroad, I will have a competitive advantage exclusive to me! After going to Cambridge for four years, I will be a returned child. Maybe even blond hair and blue eyes…”

Ms. Fujii interrupted Mikako's dream coldly: "There won't be any, what are you thinking, race cannot be changed!"

"Then I can dye my hair!"

"Then you can dye it now!"

"Ran has no reason to change now! Oh, mom, let's take a longer view!"

Ms. Fujii said bluntly: "You are a guy who has no long-term plan and thinks that everything is what it is, and suddenly you start talking about the long-term?"

"My status in the dojo is close to Kinoshita Tokichirou!"

"Why, you still want to be Guan Bai?" Ms. Fujii retorted, "Do you have that ability?"

Mikako was about to refute, when her father took the thermos into the kitchen.

"What are you arguing about, so hot?" Mr. Fujii said in a mocking tone.

Ms. Fujii pointed at Mikako: "Your daughter wants to study in Cambridge."

Mr. Fujii looked surprised: "Cambridge? Is it the Cambridge I understand?"

"Yes, that's the one." Mikako nodded, "Professor Guoli told me that he can give me the quota of exchange students every year."

Mr. Fujii said "Oh", came to the table and sat down, then looked at Mikako seriously and said, "Then what do you think? Do you want to go to England?"

Mikako shrugged: "I don't care..."

"How can you be indifferent? This is your future, and you are going to a strange country. I think, if you are so indifferent, then don't go." Mr. Fujii said with a straight face, "After all, you go to live in England alone , the risk must be very high. The UK was still on strike some time ago, and the Irish Republican Army was also involved in the attack.”

Mikako came to the table with the brewed tea and sat down.

Seeing this, Ms. Fujii hurried over and sat down at the table, forming a posture of three sessions of interrogation with her husband.

But Ms. Fujii handed over the "lead trial" to her husband.

Ms. Fujii is essentially a traditional Japanese housewife, although she behaves like a new woman in many ways.

Mr. Fujii asked seriously: "Okay, tell me what you think."

Mikako looked at the ceiling.

There is a ceiling fan hanging from the kitchen ceiling of Fujii’s house. It is said that some families have begun to fully popularize air conditioning, but most Japanese families do not have this condition.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that some Japanese-style single-family buildings do not have good sealing conditions.

Mikako Fujii looked at the ceiling fan and felt a little hot suddenly, so she unbuttoned her collar.

While unbuttoning, she felt a dull pain in her chest.

So she kneaded herself again.

Mr. Fujii frowned: "You talk."

"I caused a big commotion at school today. I'm a wounded man. Dad, do you have any sympathy?" Mikako complained.

Mr. Fujii asked: "When will the decision to study abroad be made at the latest?"

"Of course, the sooner the better. But it can be delayed until the end of this year at the latest." Mikako responded, "But I don't think there is anything to consider. This kind of opportunity is quite precious, and now it hits me. I feel that I should go, if I don’t go, I will lose money!”

Mr. Fujii laughed dumbfounded: "What's your name?"

"The truth!" Mikako sat upright, pressed her hands on the table, and said solemnly, "Usually, this opportunity for exchange students can only be won by a group of people who fight their heads. Now just give it to me. It’s obvious that I’m picking up the cheap! If you don’t pick up the cheap, is that still a human?”

"No!" Mr. Fujii refuted his daughter seriously, "The key is whether you want to study in the UK or not!"

"I want to go, I want to get a bargain." Mikako said firmly.

"Don't think about whether to pick up the cheap or not, just think about whether you are interested in the UK." Mr. Fujii said earnestly, "Do you want to study in the UK?"

Mikako looked up and continued to look at the ceiling fan: "I don't think so, maybe. But I think it's not bad to study anywhere. Is it possible that I can still like to study? Learning is such a nasty thing, whatever it is!"

Mr. Fujii was shocked: "How can you say that studying is an annoying thing? You have already gone to Sophia University!"

"How do I know how I passed the exam." Mikako spread her hands, "I listened to what Kazuma told me, and I took the exam, and I passed. Dad, don't think about such complicated things, I just want to take advantage of it."

Mr. Fujii already had an expression that he didn't want to talk nonsense with his daughter.

Seeing this, Ms. Fujii rushed out and asked, "Are you really willing to leave and Ma for four years?"

"What is there to be reluctant about? The feelings I have for Mama in my heart, let alone four years, will not fade in ten years!" Mikako touched her chest with her hands, but accidentally touched her left breast, causing her to bark her teeth in pain .

Ms. Fujii frightened Mikako: "In those four years, Ma and Ma may both be married!"

"How is that possible." Mikako waved her hand, "He has three years to go before finishing college, and in the last year he has to take the civil service exam, so he's very busy. He's even busier when he just started working, and he has to wait until he gets married. By then I had returned like lightning."

Ms. Fujii stared at her daughter for a long time, then sighed heavily.

She turned to look at her husband.

Mr. Fujii sighed: "It seems that Mikako has already thought about it, so it's useless for us to say anything."

Mikako nodded: "Well, I'm very stubborn. By the way, I really think that going to Cambridge to study will make me more competitive. I decided to go to Cambridge and it will be more than half a year before I set off. Maybe the relationship with Kazuma in the first half of the year will go further."

Mr. Fujii shook his head: "It doesn't matter, what matters is whether you want to study in the UK or not, and whether you are interested."

"Like I said, I don't care about studying or anything." Mikako shrugged.

"How can it be nothing?" Mr. Fujii sighed, "Forget it, there is no point in talking to you. Since you have already made up your mind, that's fine."

Mikako smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Mr. Fujii sighed: "It was already very difficult for you to go to university, but now you still have to go to Cambridge. The tuition and living expenses... Alas, your dad was just promoted and his salary was raised. As a result, our financial situation has not improved. Next time The salary increase is two years away."

As a regular employee of a large company, Mr. Fujii will definitely be promoted as long as he accumulates working years under the current lifetime employment system. However, the lifetime employment system also determines that he cannot be promoted quickly and has to work for years.

Mikako smiled and said to her father: "Oh, even if I go to England, it will be the second half of this year. Besides, our family still has savings."

Asian families all have the habit of saving, and the Fujii family is the same.

Mr. Fujii looked at the ceiling: "There is savings. But this was originally planned to be used to renovate our home."

Now the Fujii family still lives in the old house, only some of the buildings have been renovated.

Mr. Fujii sighed: "Now, we have to move the renovation back."

"Oh, dad, why don't you be more optimistic, I'm a civil servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after I come back from Cambridge, with an annual salary of 10 million yuan."

Ms. Fujii frowned and said, "Compared to you being a civil servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I hope you will marry Kiryu as soon as possible and become the proprietress of the dojo."

"There is still a chance!" Mikako said confidently.

"Hmph, there might have been a chance," Ms. Fujii poured cold water on her, "Now you have been studying abroad for four years, and the day lily is cold."

Mikako could only let out a "ah ha ha ha" laugh.

The next day, Mikako appeared at the entrance of the Kiryu Dojo early in the morning and announced loudly: "He Ma Ma, I have decided to study abroad!"

He Ma poked his head out from the bathroom, with a toothbrush stuck in his mouth: "What the hell? You just decided? Could it be too hasty?"

Mikako put her hands behind her back, and looked at Kazuma with a smile: "Why, Kazuma, you don't want me?"

He Ma: "Nonsense, of course I don't want to. You are the most beautiful scenery in our dojo."

"Hmph, you just say it, but you don't actually take any action at all." Mikako said with the corners of her eyes raised.

"The landscape is for appreciation, what do you want me to do?" He Ma said and started brushing his teeth again.

"Admiring, not wasting?" Mikako asked.

At this time, Qingliu came out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth, looked at Mikako and said, "Be careful when you go to England, there is an Irish *** in England."

"Hmph, if I meet them, I'll deal with them with kendo!" Said Mikako and gestured.

Qingliu rolled her eyes and ran to the kitchen: "Xiaoqian, what about breakfast?"

"It's ready, it's ready. Let's go after eating." Chiyoko's voice came from the kitchen.

The prestigious private school that Qingliu attends now is a bit far from the dojo, so Qingliu has to go out early every day.

Fortunately, Japanese high schools do not start classes until after nine o'clock.

After Qingliu entered the kitchen, Kazuma looked at Mikako and asked, "Is that what you decided? Don't you think about it?"

"Well, it's decided. I convinced my parents yesterday." Mikako said and stretched, "Oh, it took a lot of effort to convince my parents."

He Ma: "What's the reason? It can't be to implement your life attitude of being content with whatever happens and following the crowd, right?"

"Almost. After all, you see, this exchange study place is super expensive, and it's a good thing that falls from the sky. How can I refuse such a good thing?" Mei Jiazi paused, and then smiled badly Said, "Unless you tell me not to go."

"I won't." He Ma smiled, "I hope that all the girls in the dojo can pursue their dreams."

"But I didn't go to Cambridge for a dream." Mikako blinked, "I just happened to meet the opportunity."

He Ma laughed and said, "This is also to carry out your life attitude of following the crowd. Since you want to carry out your life attitude, then I will choose to support it."

"Really?" Mikako took off her shoes, bouncing and running to Kazuma, her chest muscles trembled violently along the way—it seems that today she is wearing the soft style as usual.

He Ma: "Really, really."

"Is there really no regret at all?"

"Did I just say that I was very reluctant?"

"Did you say it?"

"Say it, I also said that you are a rare sight in my dojo."

Mikako giggled: "Then do you want to keep me?"

"If you don't want to stay, I still wish you the best of luck." Kazuma looked at Mikako with a smile, "And I sincerely hope that during your time in Cambridge, you can change your life attitude of following the crowd."

In fact, what Hema meant was that he hoped that Mikako could get her own entry in Cambridge.

He, the morning star, pointed out for so long, but he couldn't get Mikako to get the entry, which made him feel a little frustrated.

Mikako saluted Kazuma: "Understood! I will try my best! By the way, I am in Cambridge, trying to bring some beautiful blonde girls to your dojo!"

Hema laughed: "Blonde double ponytails? You can have them!"

"That's right, I also think blonde hair is especially suitable for double ponytails!" Mikako agreed.

At this time, the door of the entrance opened, and Nichinan Licai came in: "Ninan Licai has arrived! What, Mikako is here first."

"Ninan, I've decided to study abroad!" Mikako said loudly.

"Eh?" Nichinan was shocked, "Where are you going to study abroad?"

"England, Cambridge!"

"Eh? Is that Cambridge? It's amazing!" Nichinan Licai exclaimed sincerely.
