The Iwahashi family in Shizuoka is peaceful and quiet. The old couple spend New Year's Eve watching TV and trying to make each other miserable. New Year's Day is also quiet and peaceful. Whether it's saying goodbye to the old year or welcoming the new year, it doesn't matter to this old couple.
Unforgivable things.
On the evening of the second day, Hiroyuki Narita and Asako came to visit. The couple spent New Year's Eve in Paris together, flew back to Tokyo the next afternoon, took a short rest, and then came to Shizuoka to pay New Year's greetings.
After visiting my father-in-law and mother-in-law today, we will go back to Narita Hiroshi's hometown in Utsunomiya tomorrow. We will go to work as usual on the 4th. The entire New Year holiday was fully arranged by the couple, and no corner was wasted.
The father-in-law and son-in-law were sitting in the living room. When Hiroyuki Narita was chatting with his father-in-law, he said in a relaxed tone, "From departure to return, as long as there are three days, it will be enough to make arrangements."
Iwahashi Masaaki didn't quite understand the meaning of his daughter and son-in-law spending most of their time traveling abroad to celebrate the New Year, but after all, he had a sense of propriety and knew that there were some things he could only complain about to his wife... and at most, a son, Shinichi.
If you can't complain, you don't know how to react. Iwahashi Shoaki nodded politely to show that he was listening carefully.
Narita Hiroyuki's career is going smoothly, he is high-spirited, and he stands straight in front of his father-in-law. He warmly invited his father-in-law, but maybe it was just warm courtesy, "Next time, you and your mother should give it a try. Occasionally go to places outside Japan.
Go and relax, your mind will feel refreshed.”
Iwahashi Masaaki's answer was simple enough, "Except for business trips, I don't even go to Tokyo that much." He actually wanted to say that Narita Hiroyuki was "romantic," but even a person as unsentimental as he felt in his heart that this
Arrangement has nothing to do with romance.
"Shinichi seems to be bringing Nakamori-san back?" Hiroyuki Narita casually confirmed with his father-in-law.
Iwahashi Masaaki said "Oh", "It seems to be tomorrow." He sounded confused and aloof. I don't know whether it was because he didn't care about the big and small things in the family, or because he was not happy about Nakamori Akina's visit.
.
Hiroyuki Narita felt that his father-in-law's reaction was a bit subtle, but it didn't matter what his views on the matter were.
Iwahashi Shinichi has a smooth career and an unlimited future. At first, Narita Hiroyuki felt that he was asking for trouble, but he resolved the trouble himself. Now, Narita Hiroyuki believes in his heart that if this brother-in-law really wants to marry someone else, he will take over the business.
This money-spinner will definitely be able to come up with a peaceful solution.
However, if these two people fail, Iwahashi Shinichi can find another more noble daughter, and Narita Hiroyuki is also happy to see it happen. He does not think that he is a faggot or a snobbery, just out of a little bit of reality
Consider.
Of course, with Shinichi Iwahashi's opinion, no matter who he chooses, it's not anyone else's turn to dictate.
Hiroyuki Narita thought of this and said casually: "I didn't expect that Shinichi would date someone like that. When Akina-san became famous, Shinichi was still a high school student, right?"
"If you put it that way, it's quite impressive." Chiyo Iwahashi walked in. She heard what her son-in-law said and casually added it. Her tone was calm and gentle, "When one was a high school student and the other was a star, I never expected that
There will be a connection one day."
After hearing this, Hiroyuki Narita didn't feel that this kind of thing was serious, but in his heart he admired his mother-in-law's ability to speak.
Asako has no interest in who her younger brother is dating or getting married, and she implements her principle of "not doing unnecessary things" to the end. She has no idea about her husband's utilitarian considerations. Her father's reaction to Akina Nakamori's visit was quite interesting.
It's subtle, but the mother is obviously well prepared.
Asako was not worried about Iwahashi Shinichi. Instead, she avoided this younger brother on the second day to avoid seeing his usual behavior when meeting the couple in their hometown. She thought to herself that it would probably not be long before Iwahashi
Shinichi Hashi would invite her and Narita to dinner. Not only that, Akina Nakamori would also attend.
Before nine o'clock in the evening, Narita Hiroyuki and Asako said goodbye to their elders and returned to Tokyo. As soon as their daughter and son-in-law left, the Iwahashi family, which had been lively for a while, became quiet again. Iwahashi Chiyo was busy tidying up the room, and Iwahashi Shoming posted the evening news
I was turning over the pages with a loud splash, absent-mindedly.
"Tomorrow, Shinichi will invite Nakamori-san to his home." He talked to his wife.
Chiyo Iwahashi answered her husband, "It's tomorrow morning."
"You feel at ease." Iwahashi Shoaki said to her.
Iwahashi Chiyo's tone was usually brisk and nonchalant, "Of course, there is no mother who doesn't look forward to meeting her son's girlfriend."
Iwahashi Shoaki showed off his ability to freeze people to death without paying for their lives, "Is it because you can find fault?"
"You are the one who is finding fault." Chiyo Iwahashi said simply.
Ordinarily, it was just the couple trying to make trouble for each other. But Iwahashi Masaaki felt uncomfortable as if he had been told the truth. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said what he had been holding back for several days, "I'm not being picky, but why?"
He is an idol."
"I can't say anything bad, but I just can't stand it." Chiyo Iwahashi reminded him, "This is called being picky."
Iwahashi Shoaki was defeated. Partly because he knew he could not defeat his own wife, and partly because he was cheated.
When Asako asked for his son-in-law, Hiroyuki Narita, Iwahashi Masaaki told his wife and son that he didn't like Dentsu MAN, but it didn't matter whether he liked it or not. Asako made the final decision, and the Dentsu MAN son-in-law continued to show off his power in front of him.
Tomorrow, Shen Yi will bring back another female idol.
Masaaki Iwahashi was even more dissatisfied with people working in the entertainment industry. He felt that there were two completely different worlds from the one he had been living in.
He flipped through the newspaper again, knowing that his wife was still in the room. Occasionally, with the corner of his eyes, through his reading glasses, he saw his wife's nonchalant look, as if he was looking into the depths of her heart.
What do you think?
…
Nakamori Akina took out the box with the formal suits and put it on the bed. Before she opened it, she frowned. After the New Year, after her fevered mind calmed down, her worries and worries became exactly the opposite.
Years ago, when Iwahashi Shinichi told her that he wanted to invite her to Shizuoka as a guest, Nakamori Akina thought that her father in her hometown was a cultural man, so she was afraid that she would be rude and be accused of being a frivolous artist. And Iwahashi Shinichi's
My mother, Chiyo-san, although I have met Chiyo-san a long time ago and she is considerate and considerate to others, but thinking about how reckless she was when they first met, she wanted to be more serious when she came to visit this time.
She was worried about gain and loss. She was happy to be taken home by Iwahashi Shinichi and introduced to her parents, but she was also worried that she would not be able to get on the stage. All she could think about was how to be more decent.
However, after the New Year, she was really getting ready to go to the house. She looked at the decent clothes she had prepared, like an office girl, and sighed in her heart. She felt that if she was too solemn and deliberate, it would also look frivolous.
As a result, all the hard work was actually in vain.
Here she made preparations, but when the time came she felt she had prepared something wrong. Over there, Shinichi Iwahashi was playing games with Kenta in the living room.
I came back with her on New Year's Day, and on the second day of today, Iwahashi Shinichi also stayed with her.
However, after breakfast and lunch, Shinichi Iwahashi went back and watered the pot of sunflowers at home. To a certain extent, it was similar to Akina Nakamori needing to feed Kenta and take him for a walk and play games.
I heard Shinichi Iwahashi say that the small buds of sunflowers are growing well, and when the buds grow bigger, they should be prepared to divide them into pots. What follows is the experience he relayed from Yoshida-san.
Iwahashi Shinichi also specifically added, "It's just an experience on paper."
Competing with Yoshida Miwa is where his childishness comes out. Nakamori Akina thought of the bucket of snow in the refrigerator and the sunflowers planted to represent the DREAM color T-E, and she couldn't tell how she felt. But
After all, I hope in my heart that those sunflowers that represent DREAM colors T and E will grow up smoothly.
She did not think that her expectations were out of good intentions or gentleness. Instead, she saw in her own thoughts the unspeakable dark thoughts that existed in the corners and crevices of her heart.
...The sunflowers that represent DREAM's T-cups and E's have grown up smoothly, and Shinichi Iwahashi is one of these sunflowers. He is a member of the band, but outside of the band, he is her man.
Akina Nakamori felt sour in her heart, like a kitten who was playing with a ball of wool. After letting her instincts scratch it, the ball fell apart and she was tangled in the wool. She wanted to lift her paw to pull the wool apart, but she couldn't do it.
, can only meow and bark.
For a moment, Nakamori Akina remembered what her sister Akiho said about Iwahashi Shinichi being the popular one in the sorority. But she immediately put the words aside as if she had done something wrong. However, she would care about what her sister said.
, not doubting Iwahashi Shinichi.
She was thinking about all sorts of things. She was nervous about going to Iwahashi Shinichi's hometown tomorrow. At the same time, she was worried that Iwahashi Shinichi was popular but didn't realize it. After thinking too much, she felt dizzy. Suddenly she heard someone
The sound startled me at first.
"What is that?" Shinichi Iwahashi stood beside her, a little curious.
Akina Nakamori patted her chest and frowned, "It scared me to death."
"Sorry, sorry." Iwahashi Shinichi stretched out his hand and smoothed her hair with a smile. Nakamori Akina murmured, "Is that how you touched Kenta just now?" while getting into his arms and clinging to him like a baby.
Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately wanted to tease her, "Isn't this a New Year's gift you secretly prepared for me?"
Akina Nakamori suppressed her laughter and muttered, "...Then it must be able to fit into it."
"What?" Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't hear clearly.
She immediately opened the page, "Nothing~" and left his arms, "This is not a New Year's gift for you." She stared at his face and said disgustedly: "This disappointed expression, my acting skills can only be rated as a nine."
Share it."
"Wasn't there eleven points before?"
"Because it's regressing too fast."
Nakamori Akina quickly retorted, and after such a fuss with Iwahashi Shinichi, she became calmer and opened the box to show him, "It's a formal suit that I wore when I came to visit..."
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "It's really not a gift to me."
Akina Nakamori guessed that he did it on purpose. She glared at him and showed her invisible claws, "Don't be pretentious."
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He looked at this bluffing paper tiger and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Akina Nakamori, "It goes without saying."
She laughed at herself, "I also know it's too exaggerated, and it doesn't seem like something I would do. It was all because I was too busy a year ago, and I accidentally made exaggerated preparations."
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her drooped eyebrows, with an expression like an unlucky puppy.
"Shinichi, tell me"
Akina Nakamori discussed with him, "How should I dress appropriately tomorrow?"
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't laugh or cry, and felt that she was making a fuss out of a molehill, "I just come from an ordinary working-class family, not from a great big family."
"That's your home, Shinichi." Akina Nakamori sounded like Shinichi Iwahashi was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "It's my home."
"So, I want to do better," she said. "I don't want to be thought of as a arrogant and flamboyant artist. Although it seems that the more I want to do well, the easier it is to make things messy."
When Nakamori Akina said this, she suddenly laughed and said, "Shinichi, if you were really a young master from a big family, I wouldn't be so nervous. I would think that I would be looked down upon anyway, so it wouldn't matter."
."
Just because they are an ordinary family, they long for sincere recognition.
From this first visit, which she didn't know how to prepare for, it seemed like she could see the epitome of her being busy and exhausted for Kiyose's big family.
Iwahashi Shinichi sighed softly.
Akina Nakamori saw this and blinked, "Are you a little speechless for me?"
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "I was just wondering if there was something about me that made you feel uneasy."
Akina Nakamori smiled exaggeratedly, "What are you talking about?" She pursed her lips, as if she had been thinking for a while, "No one can be more thoughtful than you, Shinichi. I really want to reflect on whether I rely on you too much."
Iwahashi Shinichi also smiled, "Relying on me is not something that needs reflection, right?"
Nakamori Akina blinked her eyes, but said: "I don't know."
He looked at Akina Nakamori and sighed inwardly. After thinking about it, he told her, "In short, it's just ordinary. Just be as usual."
The more uncomfortable Nakamori Akina felt, the more unforgiving she said, "Just like Shinichi, you and I went back to eat mother's fried burgers, shamelessly and nonchalantly."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and nodded, "Yes, shamelessly."
She reached out and patted Iwahashi Shinichi on the shoulder, "I really admire you. It was the same when I went to see my mother and when we went back together on New Year's Eve. I was not nervous at all."
Shinichi Iwahashi corrected her, "Actually, I was nervous on New Year's Eve."
"Really?" Nakamori Akina's eyes lit up, and she leaned towards him with a small face, as if she wanted to find out.
This look makes him look like an annoying paparazzi.
"But I didn't notice it at all at the time," she commented.
Iwahashi Shinichi joked with her, "Because I'm thick-skinned, I'm not easily discovered." He paused and said, "However, I've been nervous once myself, so I seem to understand why you're so nervous."
"It feels a bit embarrassing to say 'so nervous'." Nakamori Akina muttered.
She was the one who was so nervous that she was at a loss, and she was the one who said this now. Iwahashi Shinichi had nothing to do with her, but he was full of love and affection. After thinking about it again and again, he repeated it again, "Just go back together normally."
