Takeo Saeki squeezed out a few smiles, but the smile didn't last long. Takeo Saeki saw Kayako holding a mobile phone on the reflective surface of the shelf next to him, and looked around suspiciously, as if he was very puzzled that his husband's mobile phone couldn't get through.
Takeo Saeki pushed the cart into the shelf, avoiding Kayako's sight, in order to cover up, he took down a few jellies, and chatted with Sadako who came up.
"It's not easy for you, Sadako, everyone is the same, um, have you eaten, Sadako?"
Sadako shook her head.
"No, I'm just here to buy groceries."
Takeo Saeki was overjoyed.
"Okay, I'll accompany you to dinner."
Sadako wondered.
"Won't this be a waste of your time, Gango?"
Is now the time to be afraid of wasting time?
Getting you out of the supermarket is the most important thing!
Kayako is looking for him in the back!
Takeo Saeki's speech speed accelerated.
"Then eat faster, Sadako. Originally, I planned to tell you about this matter in a few days, and I will tell you when I have time. Since we have met now, let me tell you while we are eating."
Sadako's complexion changed.
Takeo Saeki, do you want to tell yourself something?
Are you... ready to live with yourself?
Let yourself take care of your father and mother?
Are your dreams coming true?
Sadako immediately said.
"Okay, okay..."
Takeo Saeki immediately put his arms around Sadako, and pushed the shopping cart out of the shelf.
Takeo Saeki took Sadako to the supermarket cashier.
To be honest, Takeo Saeki didn't want to come out with these snacks, he just wanted to take Sadako straight out of the supermarket, away from Kayako.
But I just said before that these are supplies for overtime work, you just turn around and don’t want them. No matter how you think about it, this move is very illogical.
Although he was a little afraid that Kayako would come out and hit the front of the cash register, Takeo Saeki still came out with the food.
There are automatic payment machines in the payment area. There are many elderly people in Neon Country. These old people don’t know how to use automatic payment machines, so they gather around the manual cash register. In order to hurry up, Takeo Saeki went to the automatic cash register, scanned everything, and paid.
After finishing all this, Takeo Saeki rubbed Sadako's head, then took Sadako downstairs and brought him into the car.
"Ga... Sadako, you go up first, I'll put the snacks in the trunk and come up."
Takeo Saeki urged.
"Oh, alright."
Sadako, who was immersed in joy, didn't notice the pause in Takeo Saeki's voice, happily opened the passenger seat door, and obediently sat in the passenger seat of Takeo Saeki.
Takeo Saeki opened the trunk and put the snacks in.
By the way, he took out his mobile phone, pulled Jiaye's mobile phone number from the blacklist, and sent a text message to Jiaye.
"I just met a colleague, and now I saw the phone call you made, Jiaye. The phone can't make calls, and I can only send text messages. It probably broke a few days ago."
Before that, Takeo Saeki threw his mobile phone out and smashed it on the security guard’s face at Hui’s home in Minakami before, and the screen broke when the phone fell to the ground. Kayako knew this, and Kayako also knew that Takeo Saeki went to change the screen of his phone yesterday.
Now Takeo Saeki said that the phone call was not available, and Kayako in the supermarket didn't doubt it, so he just replied.
"still coming back?"
Takeo Saeki replied.
"Wait a minute, I'll come find you after I finish chatting with my colleagues."
Takeo Saeki took the phone back and closed the trunk.
"Huh, what luck."
Just got through everything like this, really, the moment I saw Sadako just now, Takeo Saeki's heart was about to explode.
You must know that Kayako was less than ten meters away from Sadako at that time.
Takeo Saeki sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and answered in passing.
"I can meet Sadako here."
Sadako also smiled shyly.
"Yeah, it's a pleasant surprise to meet Gangxiong here, obviously I haven't met him before."
Takeo Saeki's heart moved and asked.
"Sadako, do you often come to this supermarket?"
Sadako nodded.
"This supermarket often holds events, and shopping can be much cheaper."
Takeo Saeki: "..."
Jia coconut also likes to come to this supermarket...
Chapter 136 Sharing
Takeo Saeki went to an izakaya in a corner three kilometers away that he had never been to before.
After entering, Takeo Saeki reserved a private room and sat in with Sadako.
After that, the waiter came to deliver the menu. Takeo Saeki ordered a set meal, a sashimi platter, and half seafood fried rice.
The waiter left with the menu, waiting for the private room door to close, Sadako rubbed her thigh impatiently, and asked Saeki Tsuyoshi shyly.
Takeo Saeki was silent for half a second. From the moment he left the Ishikawa supermarket with Sadako, Takeo Saeki was thinking of excuses.
First of all, it is definitely not acceptable to take Sadako to travel somewhere later. If you travel, you can’t go on the same day and come back in the afternoon.
Secondly, you can't play haha, just make a joke and talk about it, which will make Sadako feel that something is wrong.
After all, it was too forceful to drag Sadako out of the Ishikawa supermarket just now.
After thinking about it, Takeo Saeki could only make excuses in the way of friends.
Takeo Saeki spoke,
"Sadako... have you ever felt lonely after living for so long?"
Sadako blinked in confusion.
"loneliness?"
Takeo Saeki sighed.
"Ah, there are many times when I feel like I'm the only one left in the whole world. There's no place to talk when my stomach is full, and that feeling of loneliness when my head is full of feelings and nowhere to vent."
Sadako's complexion changed slightly.
Sadako has this feeling, and not once or twice, before meeting Takeo Saeki, Sadako was surrounded by this deep sense of loneliness, too difficult to think about the future.
Takeo Saeki continued.
"I have been working hard in Saitama County for more than 20 years. I have money, a house, and a car, but I grew up in an environment of intrigue, Sadako, I'm afraid you don't know."
Takeo Saeki had a bitter look on his face.
"In the first few years when I joined the company, due to the economic downturn, the company couldn't afford to support people, and a large number of construction teams were to be dismissed. The president entrusted a very young and energetic HR to dismiss the construction team."
Companies in Nihong Country generally do not fire their employees, but when the economy went down a few decades ago and they went bankrupt if they didn't fire them, many companies chose to cut their tails to survive.
"At that time, the construction team had been with the company for decades. Everyone watched the company from small to large. Everyone has a relationship and everyone has contributed. But the young HR relatives didn't recognize it. In order to complete the company's targets, they implemented the elimination system at the end and KPI and other management systems to force people to leave."
Takeo Saeki's face darkened.
"After such an outrage, many construction teams were indeed forced to leave. Occasionally, I heard from a colleague of mine that the young HR was very happy because he had perfectly completed the task given to him by the president, and promotion and salary increase were inevitable."
"Sadako, do you know what happened after that?"
Sadako asked curiously.
"HR got the reward from the president?"
Takeo Saeki shook his hand.
"It would be nice if it was that simple. The next thing is that the president fired HR, because HR fired a large number of construction teams and made people complain. There were complaints in the company. Many people hated HR. After the president was fired, too many people thought that the president was wise and powerful, and drove the black sheep away."
Sadako was dumbfounded.
Takeo Saeki spread his hands.
"The company I work in is such a place. After I joined this company, I can often feel the power struggle in this company, and the internal high-level struggles openly and secretly. I am an ordinary member with no background and background. In order to survive, I can only keep my mouth shut and work hard to earn my qualifications."
The door of the private room opened at this time, and the waiter brought out the set meal and sashimi platter.
After the release, the waiter turned and left.
Takeo Saeki took a sip of the soup that came with the fried rice, moistened his throat, and then said.
"I just stayed like this for twenty years, and when I had enough qualifications, a big project finally fell on me."
Takeo Saeki smiled happily.
"I have won this project, and when this project is completed, I will have the right to speak in the company. As long as I don't make mistakes, no one will dare to touch me. I am safe, and I will have the rest of my life."
Takeo Saeki put a piece of tuna belly into his mouth, chewed and said.
"I'm very happy."
Takeo Saeki tried his best to laugh wildly.
"Sadako, although it's very childish and superficial to say so, but, can you share my happiness?"
"This is what I said, what I want to tell you, very important things."
Between friends, sharing joys and sorrows is normal, and absolutely necessary and important.
Sadako was silent, her eyes were slightly red.
Sadako understands.
Sadako, who has been surrounded by loneliness for almost the first half of her life, understands what Takeo Saeki said.
Sadako still has her grandma, and when her mother is there, she can still tell her grandma, who told her who bullied her today, who scolded her today, what she liked, what she wished for in the future.
Sharing can double happiness and halve sadness.
Sadako, whose relatives are still there, although she lived in poverty, there are also beautiful things that shine in her memory.
But after losing her close relative, Sadako has no channels to vent her emotions, and the malice of the world is carried by an underage child.
Sadako is used to hiding her emotions in her heart to ferment, and then torturing herself with fermented emotions.
So, is your lover just as lonely as yourself?
Also, my lover's father is an otaku, his mother has depression, and Takeo Saeki is divorced again. The pressure of raising a family is probably all on this man's shoulders.
Takeo Saeki has accumulated a lot of pressure where he can't see it, and there is no way to vent it.
Stress also ferments in the heart.
Therefore, the person I can confide in must be very important. Only those who have truly opened their hearts are willing to share the true self under the mask.
Although what Takeo Saeki said to say was not the cohabitation that Sadako hoped for, Sadako was also very happy at the moment.
I am an important person to Takeo Saeki.
Sadako gave up the set meal in front of her, walked up to Saeki Takeo, knelt down, and patted her thigh.
Takeo Saeki looked at Sadako puzzled.
Sadako smiled.
