Chapter 458 Work

At noon, Masayoshi Kishimoto appeared at Natsui Makoto’s place as usual. He first went to check on the children before joining her for lunch. The two sat face to face in front of the table to start eating.

“I’ve been busy this morning.” Natsui Makoto reported as she ate.

“I wasn’t busy, but I had a good morning blowing off steam with Kazuya Takahashi.” Masayoshi Kishimoto responded.

“What exactly are you working on? Why does it make me feel like you’re either sleeping or bragging?” Natsui Makoto said with straight eyes.

“This one question you asked me is quite confusing to me at times. From time to time, I’m equally confused as to whether I’m working, or playing?

Or rather, I’ve come to think of work as being in play. So, doing something you like doesn’t feel like work anymore, even if you are working.

On the contrary, doing something you don’t like, even if you’re having fun, you’ll feel bad.” Masayoshi Kishimoto really wasn’t joking when he said.

Natsui Makoto said thoughtfully, “I wouldn’t be suited to going out to work, I’d be suited to being a full-time housewife inside my home bringing up my children and cooking vegetables and meals.

In the past, I worked outside and clenched my teeth. It was for no other reason than survival. If you don’t work and you don’t have money, you just starve to death.

Nowadays, when I do things at home, even if the labor is no easier than when I worked outside, it doesn’t make me think that I need to clench my teeth and hold on. Every now and then it will still give me pleasure.”

“I guarantee that you’ll be able to live a family life like this for the rest of your life.” Masayoshi Kishimoto was not the least bit surprised. In terms of her character and origin, a middle-class life with no worries about food and clothing was the greatest ideal at one time.

Currently, she had such an ideal life and was greatly satisfied. As for the rich upper class life, the attraction wasn’t great.

If Natsui Makoto grew tired of the current quality of life at some point, the pursuit of a higher level of quality of life would only arise.

Not to mention for a moment, even after a few more years, she still wouldn’t get tired of it. In her mind, she was more or less afraid that she would return to that kind of bottom life in the past.

This kind of uneasiness and fear is originated from her own past memories, poor and afraid. But this kind of feeling would not happen to Rie Sakai.

She was originally from a middle-class family. Naturally, a life of clothing and food was needless to say. She was naturally beautiful and musical, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she had both talent and looks.

Additionally, she had received favorable treatment from her family since she was a child, so she didn’t really know what it was like to be poor and without money.

Even if Rie Sakai was promoted to the upper class at the moment, she wouldn’t be too excited, but rather seemingly subdued. In her thinking at this age, she would have it all sooner or later.

Just like those ordinary mainland Chinese college students who did not graduate in the latter days, the starting monthly income of 5,000 to 6,000 dollars was considered small. They felt that such a job was generally not difficult to find, and even felt that it was low.

Nowadays, any starting monthly income is in the ten thousand eight hundred thousand. It is reasonable for them to have a starting salary of 5,000 to 6,000 dollars. Not to mention that only 4% of people in mainland China have a bachelor’s degree.

On the contrary, after graduating from college, the job market has been working for several years above the old driver, not to mention the monthly salary over 10,000, even over seven thousand, are difficult.

China’s 1.4 billion people, 16 to 59 years of age of the labor force is 900 million people, and among these 900 million people can earn more than 5,000 a month, eligible to pay personal income tax accounted for only 7% of the people.

As for those who earn more than ten thousand dollars a month, they are basically the ones who are going to reach the tip of the pyramid. Their number is only 3% of the country.

Some people may say that as you get older, your income will increase accordingly. In fact, this is a fallacy. Often it’s not the one factor that raises your income, it’s the overissuance of money, inflation, etc. that causes you to increase your nominal income.

Either that, or you are being averaged out. Or it falls into the category of not being counted. Growing older doesn’t necessarily lead to an increase in income, it leads to an increase in expenses.

Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having children, raising children, and so on will become things that have not been part of the expenses of being single in the past.

Before the age of thirty-five, there will not be much feeling. Once you pass the age threshold of thirty-five, or approach this age, you will find that you are not only afraid of bankruptcy and closure of the organization, but also have no courage to quit when you said so in the past twenty years old.

By the boss or the boss lectured to kill the heart, but still have to endure, that is because either carrying a mortgage, or car loan.

Or, both. Or, add a breadwinner, a card debt, a child slave, or even an internet loan or something. With each subsequent year of age, the mood becomes heavier and heavier.

If you really reach the age of forty or fifty, and do not have a good skill, that is the old man, the next child, living is a yellow ground inside the planting of bitter melon, bitter and bitter.

Of course, having money and power is another story. Not to mention forty or fifty years old, even if seventy or eighty years old, but also the charm is unlimited.

As for ordinary people, that’s another matter. For them, the most courageous thing is to still be living as hard as possible.

Natsui Makoto pondered for a long time and said, “Is this the greatest promise and assurance you’ve made to me?”

“Then what else do you want?” Justice Kishimoto asked bluntly.

“I also want you to love me and the children for the rest of your life.” Natsui Makoto said without a single star of hesitation.

“I promise you just that.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said firmly.

“You swear.” Natsui Makoto said in a serious manner.

Masayoshi Kishimoto put down the chopsticks in his hands, swallowed the food in his mouth, put up three fingers on his right hand, and tried not to smile, “I, Masayoshi Kishimoto, swear in front of Makoto Natsui that in this life, I will not only give her and her children a good life of superiority and abundance, but that I will also love them for the rest of my life.”

“And the next life too, and the next.” Natsui Makoto said unsatisfied.

“How can you start thinking about the next two lifetimes when you haven’t even finished this one yet? It’s not guaranteed that at some point you’ll resent me.

Could it be, don’t you know that there are quite a few old couples in Japan who have long since broken up and don’t want to be buried together even after they die?” Justice Kishimoto cried and laughed.

“It’s even better if you don’t abandon me. How could I possibly dislike you? I’m going to be like that. You hurry up and swear.” Natsui Makoto urged.

“Good. If there is an afterlife, I, Masayoshi Kishimoto, will still be good to Makoto Natsui and the children in my next life, and my next life like this one.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he increased his vow.
