Tokyo Police

v5 Chapter 33: adoption

According to Japanese Buddhist customs, after the death of a loved one, it takes seventy-seven to forty-nine days before they can be buried. However, in this place in Hirai Town, Lin Xiuyi was always a foreigner, so most of the matters had to be handled by Reina herself.

Rena's mother's family will have some relatives to attend the funeral. In addition, the fishermen's association in the town and the neighbors will also send Lin Xiuyi's father the last trip. However, these people are always outsiders, they are just doing their usual friendship. After the funeral, poor Rena will soon face a more important question, that is, who will take care of her life in the future?

In the past few days, whenever Lin Xiu asked this question, Reina always pretended not to care and said comforting words to Lin Xiu.

"It's okay, my uncle promised to take care of me until I graduate from high school, so you don't have to worry about these things!"

"After graduating from high school, aren't you planning to go to university?" Lin Xiuyi asked worriedly.

"I should go to a short-term college. I want to study nursing or something. I can become a nurse in the future..." When Reina said these words, there was no happy expression on her face. Maybe she also has her own dreams. , but had to face reality.

Lin Xiuyi wanted to say something else, but Reina distracted him with another topic. Lin Xiuyi knew in his heart that his sister was not unaware of her future situation, but her strength was too weak, and she had no choice at all.

His father's body was finally cremated on the sixth day after Lin Xiuyi came here. That day, Rena, who had always been stubborn, finally began to cry uncontrollably. She crouched on Lin Xiuyi's shoulder and cried silently. It was the first time Lin Xiuyi saw Reina cry uncontrollably.

Lin Xiuyi really wanted to comfort Reina, but he didn't know what to say. The time Lin Xiuyi and his father spent together was too short, but Reina accompanied his father through the last years of his life. Although Lin Xiuyi also felt a little sad, he did not feel as strong as Reina.

After his father's body was cremated, Lin Xiuyi and Rena got a urn, and Rena invited a monk in the town to preside over the funeral for his father. There were a lot of guests at the funeral, but Lin Xiuyi didn't know almost any of these people. Only one Obasan from the next door neighbor's house and Lin Xiuyi had met a few times, and they could still talk.

"Hey! Reina-chan is so pitiful! I really don't know how she will live in the future!

"Reina-chan told me that she will live with her uncle's family in the future. I wonder what kind of person her uncle is?" Lin Xiuyi pulled Obasan aside and asked quietly.

"Uncle Reina-chan, are you asking Mr. Kurake Ichiro? Look, he's over there!" Obasan looked at a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties standing in the corner in the distance. , The complexion is dark, and at first glance, it is caused by fishing all year round. There was a woman of the same age standing beside him. The two of them look like honest people,

"Their family is not bad, and Reina-chan should not suffer any grievances after passing. But this family already has three children. If you add Rena-chan, the burden is too heavy..." Obasan sighed with emotion said.

Hearing the other party's words, Lin Xiuyi's heart that had been relieved at first clenched again. What this neighbor's Obasan said was true. Although Reina had been comforting Lin Xiuyi all the time, this kind of important decision related to the future could not be solved with a few words of comfort.

Lin Xiu glanced at the family in the distance, he said goodbye to Obasan, and then walked towards Reina's uncle step by step.

"Well, hello! I'm Lin Xiuyi, Rena's older brother. Please give me some advice when we meet for the first time!"

Lin Xiuyi stood in front of Uncle Lingnai, bowed slightly, and then introduced himself. The other party obviously didn't notice Lin Xiuyi's arrival, so the couple hurriedly returned the salute to Lin Xiuyi.

"Well, you're too polite. We only heard about you these days, but we haven't been there to visit. It's really rude!" Reina's uncle responded.

"My name is Lin Xiuyi, and I live in Tokyo. To be honest, I just found out about Rena's existence. I heard Rena say that you and your wife will take care of Rena's life until she graduates from high school, right?"

"Hi! That's true. Although our family's situation is not very good, there should be no problem taking care of Rena for a few years, and Rena-chan has always been very reassuring!"

Rena's uncle said without hesitation, as Obasan from the neighbor's house said, Rena's Ichiro Kurake family are indeed good people.

"Well, in fact, I suddenly had an idea just now~lightnovelpub.net~ As Rena's elder, please give me some advice! I am currently living in Tokyo, and although I don't have my own house, my income is still reasonable. And I’m not married yet, so I don’t have any family burden, if possible, let Rena go to Tokyo with me, what do you two think?”

Lin Xiuyi pulled the Cangke couple aside and asked them in a low voice.

"Well, haven't I asked you what your job is?" Ichiro Kurashina asked curiously.

"I am a civil servant, and the income should be enough to cover the expenses of two people, and I hope Reina-chan can choose life according to her own wishes in the future. I wonder what your opinion is!"

"You're a civil servant! To be honest, your conditions are much better than ours. But you haven't lived with Reina-chan since you were a child, so we're still a little worried!"

"Well, please forgive my reservations. I'm a police officer and I'm currently working in the Metropolitan Police Department. I don't think I should be considered a bad person!"

After hearing Lin Xiuyi's final self-introduction, Cangke and his wife let go of their hearts. As soon as Lin Xiu saw the other party's reaction, he also confirmed that Cangke and his wife were really good people who really cared about Reina. Although they were in a bad situation, they did not push Reina like a burden to Lin Xiuyi, who had unknown origin. It was not until Lin Xiuyi revealed his identity as a police officer that Cangke and his wife finally chose to let go.

After discussing with Cangke and his wife, Lin Xiuyi finally decided to go to Reina to ask her opinion. Lin Xiuyi easily found Reina who was busy, called her aside, and asked Reina seriously and seriously:

"Rena-chan, would you like to move to Tokyo to live with me?"
