The fields of autumn, the village of fortune

Miwako Akita sat in front of the mirror, struggling to comb her long, knotted hair.She grabbed a handful of hair with her left hand, and combed vigorously with her right hand. The roots of the hair kept pulling at the scalp, but the knots formed by the hair seemed to be getting tighter and tighter.

The guests are coming soon, Miwako is a little anxious.There was another intermittent loud argument downstairs, it was father and sister...it had been like this for weeks.

"I can't believe it, he has that kind of disease, and you still ask me to marry him!"

"Mieko, you are already engaged."

"But we are not married yet, so I have no responsibility, no obligation to bear all this!"

"Are you still a child?! Don't you understand what a marriage contract is? A marriage contract is a responsibility, an obligation! If everyone is like you, what's the point of getting engaged?"

"What age is it now? Even when we get married, people leave. We were just arranged by you to get engaged. We haven't seen each other a few times! Father, I beg you as a daughter, I don't want to take care of a paralyzed person for the rest of my life..." Mieko originally The angry and powerful voice turned into a suppressed cry as he spoke, and finally couldn't help it, his eyes turned red and tears fell.

Seeing this, Akita Hiroyoshi let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand to caress Mieko's trembling shoulders, and said in a soft voice, "The Yukimura family is a family with a very good reputation, Goro and I have known each other for many years, I think they will not treat you badly." of."

Mieko covered her face, lowered her head and wept. Hearing that her father was still unwilling to change her mind, she kept shaking her head, but could no longer speak.

"Go and tidy yourself up, the Yukimura family is coming soon."

Hearing the door next door open and close, Miwako tried to think about the Yukimura family.Originally, the two families who had a marriage contract should walk around and visit each other more, but because one is in Kanagawa and the other is in Kyoto, the two families have only seen each other once since their sister got engaged to Yukimura Seiichi.

In my impression, Yukimura Seichi is a boy with iris purple hair, very beautiful.Although she knew it was rude to use "beautiful" to describe a young man, Miwako couldn't think of a more suitable word.

I remember that at that time, the two families said a lot of compliments to each other.Aunt Yukimura said that Mieko was like Yamato Nadeko, and Seiki was really blessed to have Mieko as his wife.

Hearing this, she looked at Mieko teasingly, she blushed, quietly stretched out her hand, and pinched her leg under the table.The two sat upright, but their hands were playing secretly under the table, as if they heard their father take Aunt Yukimura's words at that time, and also praised Yukimura Seichi:

"Where is it, Hideko, you are joking. I know that Seiichi has a nickname in Kyoto, called 'Son of God', and his tennis skills are the best among the students in Japan."

Hearing his father boasting that his future brother-in-law is good at playing tennis, he looked at that slender boy in surprise.Tennis is a sport that requires a lot of strength, probably my father is really just praising it, just like Aunt Yukimura said that her sister is like Yamato Nadeko... But later I heard that Yukimura Seichi became the head of the tennis department of Likai University Affiliated Middle School , After winning the championship again, I realized that he was really good at sports. My sister was also surprised for a long time at that time.

Thinking about it this way, his slender figure may be due to this underlying disease... Miwako got up and walked to the door of her sister's room while guessing.

He knocked lightly on the door, but no one answered.Miwako knocked again, thought for a while, and said, "Sister, it's me."

"Come in."

As expected, Mieko was sitting in front of the dressing table.

Miwako walked over, took a cotton pad and dipped it in water, supported her sister's face, and wiped off the tears.The two of them didn't say anything, and Miwako put on foundation and eyeliner for Mieko, took an eyebrow pencil, and painted her eyebrows that were as slender as distant mountains.Finally, Miwako picked up the lipstick and painted bright vermilion on Mieko's lips where the tooth marks still remained.

Mieko opened her mouth, her lips trembling slightly, Miwako paused, continued to paint her lower lip, then put away her lipstick, finished it properly, and looked at her sister.

"I, I must take care of my own destiny, for sure."

After finishing speaking, those dry, red lips were tightly pursed.
