Title: The Baton of Love
Author: [Sun] Maiko Asao
Maiko Seto has dreamed of becoming a teacher since she was a child, and after graduating from university, she spent 9 years becoming a teacher, and her works are always evaluated to make people feel a kind of "gentle gaze of teachers and mothers".
After reading this warm book in one breath over the weekend, I saw the introduction before reading the book and said that I would burst into tears, and after reading the book, I read the true monologue of the heroine Youzi in the marriage stage and the last father, and I was moved to tears.
Youko has been "relayed" by several parents, 3 fathers and 2 mothers, the name has changed 4 times, and the family form has changed 7 times in 17 years.
Not many people have such an experience, can they feel love in such a family? Let's take a look.
01
"I wish Youko a healthy and happy growth every day, and daddy will always be with you." --Mito, biological father
She is Yuko Mito, from birth to the second grade of elementary school.
Her mother died of an accident when Youko was 3 years old, and Youko has little memory of her. When her father was away from home, Yuko would go to her grandparents' house.
Youko wants to buy a cute and favorite school bag, and Grandma says that it will not be suitable until the sixth grade, so she buys a school bag with ugly colors;
The grandparents are very strict and do not let her eat sweets;
Every time her hair grew a little longer, Grandma would take scissors to help her cut it short.
Therefore, one of Yuko's personalities, who is simple and introverted, and has low materialism, is influenced by her grandparents.
Then, Sister Ewha appeared next to her father. Sister Ewha, who met for the first time, helped Youzi comb her cute hairstyle and told her that she was going to the beauty salon to cut her hair and buy a fashionable stationery box, pencil, and eraser for her, rather than having to choose to use it for the sixth grade.
Sister Ewha brought to her something dazzling that she didn't dare to have.
So Youko understands that by dressing herself up to look good, you can buy what you like at the moment, and you may not buy it every time for the future.
Then, my father and Sister Ewha got married, and the 3 of them had a happy time. Later, when her father was going to Brazil for work, Youko didn't want to lose her best friend and chose to stay and live with Ewha's sister.
After going abroad, his father always wrote letters to Youzi, and Youzi also wrote letters to him, but Ewha's sister, afraid of losing Youko, lied that she never received a reply and hid all the letters.

"Since becoming your mother, tomorrow has become a double share." --Stepmother Pear Blossom
She is Yuko Mito, from the second grade to the sixth grade of elementary school.
Sister Ewha said before, "Youko, you should also smile and laugh more, so that there will be a lot of good luck coming." ”
After her father went abroad, Ewha's sister began to work, but she still could not afford to pay the rent for the big house, so she moved into a smaller apartment. Sister Ewha can't save money, they live a poor life, fortunately there is a landlord grandmother to help some homegrown vegetables.
The landlord's grandmother said, fortunately, your family has no money, otherwise it would not be rare for me to have this sour cabbage and turnip. Moreover, the landlord's grandmother also gave Youzi 200,000 self-defense before going to the nursing home, although Youzi has not used this money behind.
The landlord's grandmother's behavior is very warm, but Youko will still cry secretly by herself, she misses her father too much. But all she can do now is live the life in front of her and get back on her shoulders.
Because her best friends are all learning piano, Youko also has the idea of learning piano. In order to realize Yuko's wishes, Ewha's sister worked hard for half a year and married a rich man, Uncle Izumihara.
03
"Although the time we lived together is very short, you are as important to me as your own daughter." 」 --Stepfather Izumihara
She is Yuko Izumihara, from the sixth grade of elementary school to the third year of junior high school.
At Uncle Izumihara's house, he lived in luxury, ate and drank without worrying, did not have to work, and had a piano, soundproof rooms and tutors.
But Youko has a voice in her heart: you must not indulge in this kind of life.
At that time, the only way to eliminate Yuko's restraint and uneasiness was to devote herself to the piano wholeheartedly. The piano belonged to Izumihara's ex-wife, and no one has been playing it since her death.
Sister Ewha couldn't stand such a boring and decadent life and left alone, but she would come to talk to Youko every night. After Ewha's sister left, Uncle Izumihara went home earlier every day and spent more time at home on weekends.
When you play the piano, Uncle Izumihara listens from time to time in the next room, probably two lonely people accompanying each other.
Later, Ewha's sister and Uncle Izumihara divorced. It turned out that Ewha's sister was afraid that Youzi would be ruined by the rich life, so she went to work and saved money, thinking that when the money was enough, she would take Youko out, who knew that she found herself seriously ill.
So in order to find a better family for Youko, she married Moriya. Moremiya is her middle school classmate, works at a large company, is reliable, and is younger than Izumihara. And what Sister Ewha did, Youko didn't know.

"It wasn't until you showed up that I realized how happy it was to have something more important than myself." For what you can't do, you can do it." --Stepfather Mori miya
She was Yuko Morimiya, a year after graduating from high school until college.
Uncle Moriya is trying to be a good father, preparing delicious meals every day, and also preparing specific foods on various important days, which is quite ritualistic. He felt that if other fathers could do it, he would do it.
Later, Youko encountered a friendship crisis: a male classmate liked her, everyone knew, but her good friend later also liked the male classmate, so she asked Youko to tell the male classmate, Youzi agreed, but then did not say it, so the friendship relationship was broken.
When she was in elementary school, Yuko chose a friend between her father and a friend, so she lived with her father and missed her very much. When she grew up, she understood that friends are not the most important, so she can look at them indifferently when she is isolated and indifferent to her friends.
Uncle Moriya would make "energy-filled" food every time when Youko was in trouble, hoping that she would be able to resolve the trouble after eating it.
05
"I'm getting married."
She was Yuko Hayase, from marriage to the rest of her life.
Before getting married, Yuko knew a lot of secrets: Ewha's sister hid letters, she was hospitalized when she was sick, and her real love was Uncle Izumihara; her biological father always thought of her and had a new family; every family member did a lot for her...
"It's happier to have people who can love than to be loved."
Blood does not necessarily have family affection, true family-like love is companionship, responsibility and pay, even if there is no blood, you can still be very happy.
Youko has grown from an ignorant girl to an independent woman, and different family members, friends, teachers, landlords, grandmothers, and lovers have given her a lot of love and warmth.
However, not every child will encounter warm people and things when they grow up, such as Liu Xuezhou, not to mention.
Winter is still good for reading some warm healing stories, we will see in the next book.
