LOVE CATCH

inside.Shibuya is the eldest son, and the youngest brother is only six years old.The father died unexpectedly in the second year of the youngest brother's birth.My mother is a nurse, not only came back very late, but also had a lot of night shifts.Cooking, housework, and babysitting were all done by the father who was a company employee. After his father passed away, all the burdens of the family fell to Shibuya, who was still a high school student at the time.When I came home at the end of the day, the clothes in the washing machine were piled up like a mountain, "I'm hungry!"In the living room before going to bed, the brawlers smashed the paper sliding window, and the sliding door also broke a few holes, just like the tragedy of a thief after looting.I was already very tired after finishing the housework, and it was not once or twice that I was kicked out by my younger brothers and slept in the corner of the kitchen under a blanket.Under such difficult conditions, Shibuya's ability to do housework has naturally improved. When washing clothes, they will be washed separately according to the color, pattern, and material of the clothes, and the meals they cook are also decent.Even if asked by the younger brother of an elementary school student to "sew a rag" or "make me a slipper box", he can use the sewing machine freely.Not only that, but shortening the pants can now also be done.

Shibuya's clothes have been handed down to the six younger brothers, and if there are holes, they are patched. Even if the poverty of the family is "super", it is not too much.But the atmosphere at home is joyful.The mother has a very cheerful personality. Although sometimes she is so angry that she wants to strangle her younger brother, but most of the time they are still cute.Originally, I wanted to work immediately after graduating from high school to support my family, but in the end I chose to accept the scholarship to continue my studies under the strong persuasion of my class teacher and mother.

Shibuya, who has the favorable employment conditions of a public university majoring in economics, chose Horiuchi Pet Funeral Center, a small company with only three employees at the time, because it was close to home, and it was guaranteed to go to work at nine in the morning and five in the afternoon. Get off work on time.Although there are other companies that I am more interested in, when Yihe told the interviewer that he hoped to leave work on time at five o'clock, he would be sneered at "I can't guarantee this", as if mocking "young people dare to raise conditions arrogantly".

A large part of the reason for being particularly concerned about commute time is because of home.There are two younger brothers who are facing the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination respectively, and the older brother is very likely to be admitted to a university with a high deviation value and a difficult one.I used to juggle between housework and study, and I was so hard that I almost fell down, so I didn't want my younger brothers to go through this kind of hard work again.With the support of Shibuya, the two younger brothers were gratified to be admitted to the ideal school this spring.

…Happiness is not measured by material and environment, the important thing is contentment.Saw this in a book.Although he hadn't been educated, Shibuya felt that this was probably the case.Poor to poor, there is no dissatisfaction with the current life.

When I was thinking about things, I walked to the gate.When the automatic sensor door opened, a strong wind blew over.Shibuya couldn't help squinting his eyes, seeing the president in front of him floating up. ……Um?Still wondering for a moment, the president quickly pressed his head, and then turned around slowly.

"It's really a strong wind."

The president, who pretended to be calm, convulsed his whole face.Then the shaved part of the hair line shifted a few centimeters to the right (the original text is そり込み, which is a kind of bad hairstyle, that is, the hairline is shaved very short at the sideburns, and some gangsters will shave text on it Ah pattern or something. You can refer to Baidu Qizhi Group for details).

"Indeed it is."

"If the wind is too strong, it will be bad if you mess up your hair."

I was a bit tempted to ask how the fist-burned wig would get blown out, but Shibuya resisted the urge to be bored.As in school, the most important thing in the workplace is relationships.

The president desperately hides the fact that he is wearing a wig from the people around him.The unnaturalness is exposed, it is better to just say "I'm wearing a wig!"It is troublesome to pretend not to notice, and Shibuya feels tired just looking at the suspicious appearance of the president to hide the wig.

There are many bald people in this world, so there is no need to be so troubled.Even though I think so, Shibuya has no experience of being bald, so I can only imagine what the bald president is thinking.Having said that, although I know that the president is bald, Shibuya has never actually seen how bald he is.

"I'm going to reverse the car, you wait here."

The president pressed the wig with his right hand and walked towards the road.The walk to the parking lot is less than 1 minute.Anyway, it's a sidewalk with no gaps, so it's faster to go together than to let the coffin lie in the middle as a roadblock. ...The first thing the president should do when he gets back in the car is to correct the position of the wig in the rearview mirror.So it will be inconvenient if there are staff around...

The ring of the private mobile phone rang, and the phone number displayed on the screen was the elementary school where the three younger brothers belonged.It was the head teacher of the youngest brother, Jean, who called. Jean's condition began to deteriorate in the afternoon, and his fever reached 37.3°.I must have caught a cold because I slept with my belly exposed last night.He was asked to find a family member to pick him up, but he was working.It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and my younger brothers should be in class at this time.Just as he was thinking about whether to sneak out of the company, the head teacher gave the health doctor Hanada a call.Hanada, who is in her fifties, knows the situation of the Shibuya family, and has taken extra care of them several times.She took the phone and said, "You are still working so hard. My health room is open until 05:30, so I can look after him for you first." "I'm really sorry, thank you so much." After thanking you, she hung up the phone At the same time, a black station wagon parked in front of him.The hearse used to transport pet corpses is a high-end foreign brand that everyone knows.A small car is enough to transport the coffin. In fact, I used a second-hand van before, but the customer complained that it was a "cheap coffin car", so I reused an abandoned high-end foreign car, and then removed one from a Japanese car. The engine is replaced.

The president who got out of the car came around from the back of the car.Like a human hearse, a pet hearse can be stowed in the back seat when the stretcher legs fold down.

The president put his hand on the carriage door.There was only a rattling sound, but it couldn't be opened.This was a bit difficult to use before, and it took a little skill to open it.

"Huh? That's weird."

While complaining, the president pulled the door over and over again, and when he was about to give him a hand, the lock clicked open.The moment the carriage door was lifted up so abruptly, that incident happened.

"what"

Accidentally made a sound.As if by magic, the fist-burned wig disappeared.The true face of the president, which was revealed before his eyes, was much more serious than imagined.

It's neither a kappa type with no hair on the top of its head, nor a barcode type with a few hairs left, but a bald man with nothing on his head.No... correct me.A little bit of hair-like hair remained in some places of the scalp.

Although he thought the president's wig was weird and didn't suit him at all, Shibuya still thought about it seriously.Even with the fist perm wig, it is still better to wear it.

The president clasped the top of his head with his hands, his face turned blue all of a sudden, he lowered his head and desperately looked around, the wig seemed to be mocking the president, hanging on the door hook of the carriage, swaying in the wind.

"...Ah, it's hanging on the top."

The president raised his head sharply.I wanted to reach for the wig, but the relentless wind blew it away.Covering the top of his head with his left hand, the president bent over to chase the flying wig.There was an exaggerated fall in the middle. ...The president who finally came back with his wig on wiped the tip of his nose, as if swallowing all the misfortunes in this world alone.Without saying a word, he passed by the staff and got into the passenger seat of the car.

Shibuya watched the development of the situation blankly, and only came to his senses when he heard the sound of the car door closing.After moving the coffin into the carriage and securing it with straps, he returned to the driver's seat.In the worst case, the bald head that he tried so hard to hide was seen by the members, and the president was hit.I don't know what to say.To tell him that I knew you were bald a long time ago? ...No, if you do this, the president may be even more depressed.How about trying to comfort him in a relaxed tone, "Isn't it good to be bald?"No, he'd see right away that it wasn't true.The dull aura emanating from the president's body filled the entire carriage.Anyway, let's go back to the company first.Shibuya fastened his seat belt and started the engine.The unusually tense atmosphere in the car reminded Shibuya of when he first went to work a year ago.

That day, the president was supposed to explain the general situation of the company and the basic work process to him, but because he came to work suddenly, the president had to go out, so he entrusted Eiko Aoyama to entertain him.

Aoyama is a 48-year-old housewife with three children.My impression of her is probably an energetic Obasan with bob hair.He and the president have known each other since they were young, and their relationship is so good that they can call each other "Fang Langjun" and "Yingzijiang".Another member is 52-year-old cremator Kosugi.Before Shibuya joined the company, Horiuchi Pet Funeral Company was a solid middle-aged workplace with an average member age of 49 years old.

In a small office with six folds, Shibuya, who was persuaded to sit on a chair, was suddenly asked by Aoyama opposite, "What do you think of Yoshiro-kun's hair?" For a moment, "wigs" and "facts" flashed in Shibuya's mind. Words such as "be wise and protect yourself", and finally say "it's really a beautiful fist".

"Really
