simple and happy

When every girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, she fantasizes about a prince-like character appearing to save herself from the plain life of boiled water. And as the years get older, the girl grows into a woman and gradually understands the beauty of a stable and simple life in this world.
"My Neighbor Yamada-kun" tells such a simple family story. Everyone in the family has their own shortcomings. Every day is spent in noise, but there is a strong warmth everywhere. Happiness is remembering to go to the supermarket to buy beef after the quarrel, thinking that when it was raining and no one picked up, I found my wife and children came to deliver umbrellas together. Life does not need a rich president or a gentle prince, nor a hot royal sister or a beautiful goddess. What we need is a husband who is responsible for the family, a wife who manages the firewood, rice, oil and salt, and a future hope for the family. Laughing children.
Many people care too much about their appearance when they are young. After they get married, their bodies start to become "casual", because they know that at home, appearance is not so important. It is more important to earn more money to support the family. It is more important to cook a meal that the family loves. Progress is more important. It takes a lot of confidence to not care about the appearance, because I believe that no matter how beautiful, ugly, fat or thin, the other party will be with me, and that's the confidence. I hope that one day, I can find that person, don't worry about getting fat and ugly, and spend every day cooking all kinds of food for my family, eating together, getting fat together, and living our happy and simple life together.

    Happy running account. I finally remembered that the background music used by the hip-hop quartet came from here.
