Become a Tokyo Showgirl

"You helped Yuko a lot at work, thank you very much, without you, Yuko might not be where he is today."

"No, where... In fact, Yuko is the one who helped me the most. Without her, I wouldn't be able to enter the showbiz."

"It's just a matter of time. Someone like you will shine brightly sooner or later."

"No, it's not like that, showbiz, opportunities are important..."

"It's okay to say that."

When Yuko's mother was chatting with Qianhua, she always wanted to praise Qianhua for being so good, and then belittle Yuko for being so bad...

This made Yuko really super upset.

If you want to simply say how good Qianhua is, she actually fully agrees.

But he just didn't want to hear these words kept saying from his old mother's mouth,

It's just annoying!

But there was no way to refute it.

So the atmosphere is very stuffy.

Qianhua felt too embarrassed, and didn't want to continue chatting with Yuko's mother to stimulate Yuko, so she asked, "Auntie, do you want me to help?"

"Help? Yes. It will be more fun to cook dinner together." She said, looking at Yuko again, "Come to cook dinner together?"

"No, don't." Saying that, Yuko turned around and left, walked into a room and locked herself up.

Seeing that she rejected her request, Yuko's mother also seemed a little unhappy.

But she did not make any retention.

It seems that this way of getting along is normal for them.

"The relationship between these two mothers and daughters is really awkward..." Qianhua smiled helplessly.

.............

The main course of the New Year's Eve dinner prepared today is Chikuzen boiled.

It feels like a big mess.

Chicken leg meat is used as the main meat raw material, and then supplemented with vegetables such as burdock, lotus root, carrot, etc., and then put in a pot, first fried and then boiled.

Then the condiments are the four-piece set of Dianzhongdian soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and juice.

I feel that a lot of Japanese food is like this. It focuses on salty and fresh taste. The taste is not light, but it makes people feel that the soup is a little watery.

It's not unpalatable, but if you eat too much, you will feel monotonous.

Sometimes Qianhua misses the food she ate in China in her previous life, and feels that the tastes are quite diverse.

There is no difficulty in the cooking operation of Chikuzen boiled. It is a fool's way of frying and cooking, adding seasoning after cooking, and dogs can do it.

Therefore, the main focus is on processing the ingredients.

However, for most young people, handling ingredients is really a headache, and many times they are frizzy and messy.

Compared with many of her peers, Qianhua is careful and dexterous when handling ingredients.

Whether it's making a cross-shaped knife for shiitake mushrooms or slicing lotus root, everything is done very well.

The efficiency is not particularly high, but it is not low, just doing all this in an orderly and unhurried manner.

This virtuous performance made Yuko's mother's impression of her even better.

She asked: "Qianhuajiang, do you often cook by yourself?"

"Ah...ah...it's still relatively few." Qianhua smiled awkwardly, "It's still not allowed in terms of time conditions. But if I have a lot of free time, I will do some."

"Well, it seems that you are very skilled in cooking."

"Actually, there is no..."

Qianhua felt inexplicably oppressed that she was talking to her mother-in-law.

She wanted to show the best possible side in front of Yuko's mother, and wanted Yuko's mother to recognize herself.

But she didn't know what to do was right, and she didn't know what to do to meet the other party's expectations.

This made her feel very uneasy.

As if seeing her uneasiness, Yuko's mother smiled at her.

"I told you from the first moment you walked in the door, don't be nervous."

"This is not a polite word, I am serious. Because from the very beginning, I have no opinion on you. It should be said that I am very satisfied with you."

Hearing Yuko's mother's words, Qianhua breathed a sigh of relief: "It's...really."

"I'm not such a rigid person. Although Yuko may have the impression that I'm always serious with her, it's not true."

"I can accept the feelings between girls."

The more Yuko's mother talked, the more Chika relaxed.

No matter how she heard it, she felt that Yuko's mother seemed to agree with the relationship between herself and Yuko.

The other party's enlightenment made her feel relieved.

"I called you here this time, not to break up the two of you, or to give you some power or something. You should be able to see that I am very friendly to you, right?"

"Um...."

"My actual intention is first to express my attitude. I don't think you need to hide from me. You can be more generous."

"But... this doesn't mean that I support the two of you unconditionally."

"Now that Yuko is away, I want to have a good chat with you."

When Yuko's mother said this, Qianhua's mood rose a little bit, and she became a little nervous.

She realized that after such a long preparation, Yuko's mother finally got to the point.

The other party's expression suddenly became serious.

"In my opinion, emotion has many meanings. There are more idealized meanings, but there are also more realistic meanings."

"I was in three relationships when I was young. Most of those emotional experiences were not bad in my opinion, at least in retrospect. But I was not able to walk with those people at the time, and the reason There are only three words: not suitable."

"When I was young, I always had too many fantasies about the future. A little bit of setback would make me feel that I could not persist in my relationship. But in retrospect, is my current husband really the most suitable person for me? If I insist on following the original And by fantasy standards, that’s not really the case.”

"But we've both made it this far, and we're both happy with it."

"Yuko's father made me hate a lot. For a while, my dissatisfaction with him accumulated to a certain extent, and I really wanted to divorce him. But in the end, out of a sense of responsibility to Yuko, we didn't want to let Yuko lose a complete family, so the plan was postponed."

"Then, I slowly reconciled with him... From this, I also realized a problem."

"The so-called two most suitable people do not exist in many cases. Everyone is a completely different individual. It is naive and extreme behavior to ask another individual to fully satisfy one's own fantasy."

"But many young people don't understand this truth when they fall in love. When they are in love, they often only see the advantages of the other party, and they will automatically beautify the shortcomings of the other party."

"But as time goes on, the period of passionate love will slowly pass, and the two people will slowly see each other's shortcomings that were originally covered by their own fantasy filters."

"And when the fantasy is shattered, how do two people maintain the relationship? Do they choose to end the relationship completely, or choose to tolerate each other's shortcomings and choose to appreciate each other's strengths more?"

.........

As a senior, Yuko's mother said a lot to Chika.

And Qianhua listened very seriously, nodding her head from time to time.

Her two lives have brought her a lot of experience, but not including love.

Therefore, every word Yuko's mother said now is an unprecedented experience for her, which is very valuable.

At the end of the talk, Yuko’s mother made a concluding statement:

"You are a good boy who is self-cultivated and hardworking enough, so I think, for Yuko, even after the love period has passed, you are still enough to satisfy her fantasy. And I also hope that you can go to the end."

"But Yuko is my daughter, and I know her well."

"She may not be as good as you think. She actually has many shortcomings. She is lazy, flamboyant, and poorly educated. This is largely a problem of my education."

"After the relationship between the two of you slowly fades away, can you still accept her shortcomings?"

This question made Qianhua fall into deep thought.

She found that she never seemed to have thought about this question before.

As Yuko's mother said, Yuko actually has many, many shortcomings.

Qianhua can also feel this.

For example, sometimes her personality is really too jumpy and impetuous.

I can't insist on doing one thing all the time, and at the same time I like to complain.

These shortcomings sometimes make Qianhua a little impatient with her, but this kind of impatience is mild.

However, at this moment, it seems that perhaps this is because both of them are in the period of passionate love.

These trivial shortcomings have been covered up by sweet love.

When the filter dissipates, can Qianhua tolerate Yuko's little problems?

She feels that her tolerance is relatively high, whether it is good for children or for some middle school kids...

But... not necessarily?

Qianhua couldn't give a firm answer to this.

"You don't need to give me the answer now." Yuko's mother smiled at her, "I'm just clarifying the interests and interests with you, so that you can have a clear idea. As for the result... just leave it to time."

"But my hope is... I want you guys to be together. And, keep going like this."

"And, I hope it's a mature and considered choice."

...............

I thought that seeing my mother-in-law for the first time would be dismissed as a whole, but it turned out not at all.

Yuko's mother was much more reasonable than she imagined, and she seemed unusually well-mannered, and she spoke in an orderly manner.

Sure enough, those stereotypes such as the evil mother-in-law are not necessarily true.

Qianhua really couldn't understand how Yuko was brought up to be that way by such a well-bred lady.

Perhaps this is the nature of rebellion.

......

Afterwards, Chika, Yuko, and Yuko's mother had dinner together.

Taking the New Year's Eve dinner as an example, this meal seemed relatively simple.

In addition to the Chikuzen cooking that Qianhua helped to make just now, there is also a boiled unknown sea fish and three bowls of soba noodles.

But considering that there are only three girls eating, the portion is big enough.

While eating, the three watched the "Red and White Song Concert" on the big TV in the living room.

The status of the Red and White Song Festival in Japan is a bit similar to that of the Spring Festival Gala in China. It is a must-see program for Japanese people during the Chinese New Year.

The program was attended by popular Japanese singers, popular entertainers and other social celebrities of the year.Although the broadcast period of the program has been extended to the late-night period, the average ratings of the program are still at the forefront of the annual ratings ranking in Japan, and has maintained its highest average ratings record of 81.4%.

In terms of the scale of the event, I feel that the Red and White Song Festival is still a lot worse than the Spring Festival Gala. The visual effect is not as shocking as the Spring Festival Gala, and the ostentation is obviously not as big.

But from the point of view of actual viewing pleasure, Qianhua thinks that the red and white songs will be more down-to-earth.The show feels more pure, and the people invited and the songs sung are more in line with the interests of the audience.

For Japanese singers, it is a special honor to be on the stage of the Red and White Song Festival.

Yuko and Yuko's mother, who were still in a cold war just now, finally let go of the previous hatred when they were watching the Red and White Song Concert, and began to chat normally with reluctance.

It fully interprets what is called a family carnival program.....

And Qianhua also looked very happy.

Familiar figures appeared on the stage one after another, some were powerful singers of the old school, some were new band groups that young people liked, and some were pop idol groups.

Various songs with different styles sounded one after another, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

The audience in the audience was cheering and applauding, and everyone sitting in front of the TV was also eating happily, feeling the happiness brought by these old acquaintances.

While watching, Qianhua thought in her mind, 'When will I have a chance to be on the Red and White Song Concert? '

But then she thought it seemed unlikely.
