If we wake up at the same time, prepare dinner together, or work together to tidy up the room, or use the same bathroom, then these things have happened constantly in the past. However, when it comes to "living together", I feel that these daily things will also happen.
It seems to change.
Iwahashi Shinichi hadn't thought so much at first, but seeing her full of expectations, she also had a different feeling.
He looked at that innocent face and said to her: "Anyway, I'm ready to take charge of purchasing the refrigerator. Even if the purchase order says 'bay leaf' and 'shochu', I'll still do it."
Nakamori Akina poked him with her elbow and complained, "How stingy."
Being criticized for being stingy by his girlfriend every day is something he has become accustomed to. Iwahashi Shinichi laughed so hard at Nakamori Akina's reaction.
Akina Nakamori didn't know that Shinichi Iwahashi was actually laughing at her, but when he made fun of her, she couldn't help but laugh too.
"Previously, in the TV series starring Narumi-chan, the character I played was to move into Narumi-chan's home and live with her." Akina Nakamori was very proud, showing off her experience as an actress, as if she could really put her experience to use.
Iwahashi Shinichi handed her the last wet plate, "So, this experience will come in handy now?"
Nakamori Akina heard the ridicule in his words and showed a look of fool, "How can such an exaggerated plot be used as a reference..."
Who looked so smug just now?
Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head and finally realized that the moment he followed Akina Nakamori's words and thought, she was already invincible.
…
The next day, after breakfast, Akina Nakamori called her mother, Chieko.
After returning from a business trip, she usually went back to visit her mother, and this time was no exception. However, it was a little more special than usual, as Shinichi Iwahashi went back with her.
...Besides that, there are matters concerning my father, Akio, that I need to discuss with my mother.
Akina Nakamori was thinking about something in her mind, and the call was connected.
In the receiver, Chieko's voice was as hearty as ever, "Good morning~ Akina-chan."
"I'll see you later, okay?" Nakamori Akina said this, with a hint of tenderness in her heart, and added: "Shinichi will also come with us."
"Shinichi is coming too?" Chieko's reaction seemed a little surprised.
However, before Nakamori Akina could recall the meaning of her mother's words, Chieko had already said repeatedly: "Welcome, welcome." She was in a good mood and said with a smile, if Iwahashi-kun comes too, fried burgers must be on the menu...
You will stay for dinner, right?"
"If Shinichi doesn't go, aren't you going to fry burgers?" Nakamori Akina said coquettishly to her mother.
Chieko laughed exaggeratedly on the other end of the phone. When she stopped laughing, she said seriously as if she was fooling a child: "If only Akina-chan comes back, I will prepare a secret fried burger for you."
Even though she knew that her mother had just made it up, Akina Nakamori still felt happy when she heard it. She told Chieko, "Shinichi and I will go there at noon."
Akina Nakamori called her mother in the living room and said she would go back to see her at noon. On the other hand, Shinichi Iwahashi called the clerk in the bedroom, flipping through his itinerary and pushing back today's events.
He was making a lengthy call on the phone, and while he was talking, he raised his eyelids and saw his girlfriend poking her head at the bedroom door. She was discovered and winked at him.
Although he was obviously naughty, he still looked like he thought he wouldn't disturb him. Fortunately, Shinichi Iwahashi was not easily amused.
He gave a few instructions to the other end of the receiver, hung up the phone, and looked at Akina Nakamori.
The two stared at each other for a while, and Shinichi Iwahashi waved to her, motioning for her to come over. Akina Nakamori moved slowly and stood in front of him with a smile, "What?"
Iwahashi Shinichi stretched out a finger and tapped her forehead lightly to repay her for the prank she just played.
Nakamori Akina took the blow and covered her head in a somewhat exaggerated manner. However, she immediately realized that in this situation, it was not convincing to pretend to be pitiful. So she changed her strategy and pretended to be pitiful instead of taking the initiative and went to Iwahashi Shinichi.
With a flutter in his arms, he was like a kitten leaping forward and crushing the prey under his paws.
However, subduing prey inevitably requires a lot of fighting.
Iwahashi Shinichi had been stuck with her for a long time. The bed that had been made in the morning had to be made again, and the bathroom that had just been dried had to be wiped again.
With one more incident, the time to go out becomes a little more tense.
After changing clothes for going out, before leaving home and going to Kiyose, I had to take a detour to Ginza to bring Chieko a snack that she had always liked.
There are long queues outside popular famous stores, which makes people wonder why there are so many idle people.
In the middle of summer, Shinichi Iwahashi, one of the idlers who joined the queue, felt calm while waiting in line. After buying the goods, he took the loot and met up with Akina Nakamori who was blowing the air conditioner in a nearby coffee shop, and then set off.
…
In the morning, Chieko went out shopping to prepare for entertaining her daughter and Iwahashi Shinichi at noon.
While living alone, whenever her children came back to see her, Chieko was full of energy and felt as if vitality had been injected into her body which was a piece of dead wood.
Before Akina Nakamori went to New York, she returned to her hometown once. Mother and daughter had tea, talked and laughed, and agreed on what gifts they would bring back to her after the business trip was over.
Chieko looks forward to Akina coming home when she comes back. Now, when she thinks about it, she calculates in her mind how many days it will take before she returns to Tokyo.
The children of the Nakamori family all have a good relationship with their mother. Even the rebellious young daughter Akiho can suppress the sharp thorns in her body in front of her mother. Ask Chieko, among the children, she is more
Whoever she likes will definitely be looked at by her with a look that looks like a fool.
However, in recent years, the older children have started their own families, and Chieko is concerned about her two younger daughters, Akina and Akho.
Among the two daughters, Akina, who has a delicate and sensitive personality and attaches too much importance to the big family, is especially cherished by Chieko.
She had the idea of making the whole family happy, but she was constantly asked for it, and she even became an outlier in the family. When Chieko saw this daughter showing sadness, she couldn't help but think of Akina when she was a child.
The child promised her that when she earns money in the future, she will buy electric heaters for her family and build a big house.
"Everyone has their own room."
At that time, the children of the Nakamori family who listened to Akina Nakamori's promise, although they regarded it as a joke, still cheered for her and imagined how they should decorate it if they had their own room.
However, the moment this sentence became true, the harmony between the children disappeared.
Fortunately, Akina Nakamori decided to get rid of the building, and the children who had lived in that building dispersed. Of course, her husband Akio Nakamori also left with her.
It is precisely because Chieko clearly remembers the promises her daughter Akina made when she was a child, and knows better than anyone else her wish for the whole family to be happy, that she encourages her and supports her in selling the building.
Perhaps it was after the building was sold that the children each saw the possibility of happiness.
The building was sold and the children had their own lives, which made Chieko care more about Akina and hoped that she would be happy.
Just when she was expecting Akina to come back to see her, and there were only two days left before Akina finished her business trip, Chieko suddenly received a call asking her "about Akio-san's debt abroad..."
The name of the husband who had not been heard from for a long time was suddenly mentioned by outsiders, and his current situation was informed. After running away from home, he lived with a woman, borrowed money from everywhere, and claimed that he had "found a good way to make money" and was preparing to realize it.
When Chieko heard this, she almost couldn't help laughing. She thought to herself, this is definitely Akio Nakamori's style.
This husband has been like this since he was young. From time to time he has whims, claiming in front of his family that he has found a good way to make money, and making a bunch of empty promises to his children.
But if Chieko throws cold water on her, Nakamori Akio will definitely get angry and fight with her.
Of course, in the past few decades, Akio Nakamori has not really found a good way to make money. During this period, there were times when his poor management led to financial constraints, and Chieko had to work an extra job to support the family.
Nakamori Akio has a weak nature. He has suffered hardships and hit a wall, so he hides somewhere. When the limelight is over, he will return as if nothing happened, bring gifts for his children, and shamelessly reintegrate into the big family.
Knowing her husband's temper and temperament well, Chieko didn't panic when she received such a call. She suppressed the smile in her heart and dismissed him with a few words.
She and Akio Nakamori have separated and have no knowledge of these matters.
As for her husband living with the bar owner's wife outside, Chieko just finds it boring.
However, after hanging up the phone and really laughing about Nakamori Akio borrowing money to "do big things", Chieko thought of her daughter Akina and felt sad for her.
Nakamori Akio was able to borrow such a large amount of money from outside. You don't need to think about it. It has a lot to do with his father being "Nakamori Akina".
If the debt borrowing is exposed by the media, Akina will be involved again by then.
In the past few days, although Chieko acted as if nothing had happened and did not mention receiving such a call to the other children, in her heart, she was thinking about Akina over and over again. When passing by the book and newsstand, she also paid special attention to the content of the notice.
The caller was a creditor, not a clichéd media. As the mother of a big star, Chieko had experienced the feeling of being interviewed by reporters since Akina Nakamori had just debuted and gained some popularity.
She herself has been walking around the streets and has a wide range of knowledge. She will know who the visitor is as soon as she comes into contact with him.
Since no reporters came to talk to us, it means that this matter has not reached the media. This means that the Yanyin Office is probably not aware of it either.
In the past few days, Chieko had also hesitated in her mind whether to take the initiative to contact Yanyin and ask them to come up with a countermeasure.
However, if she really informed Kenyin, even if her original intention was to alert the firm to possible media reports, she would also have pushed the Nakamori family's family affairs to the firm. If the firm even helped with such trouble
Solving it would definitely not be a good thing for Akina.
Chieko thought of this and resolutely rejected the idea in her heart.
…
Chieko bought all the ingredients for serving Akina and Iwahashi Shinichi at Kiyose's shopping street. She lives alone at home and doesn't eat much. If she occasionally buys more, the shopkeeper can guess that there are guests to entertain.
But much later, when the children were not yet adults, whenever Chieko appeared in a shopping street, shopkeepers knew that she was a "big customer." Because Chieko had a cheerful personality and was kind to others, even though the shopkeepers complained about her cleverness
He has great bargaining skills, but he still takes extra care of her.
This is what it is like to live in a place for a long time. Even the shopkeepers in the shopping street are old neighbors. If there is something going on, they can guess some clues without saying anything.
Shinichi Iwahashi praised Chieko's cooking skills so much that Chieko was willing to cook for him. Nothing would make a busy person feel happier than being recognized for the fruits of his labor.
Of course, the real reason for Chieko to warmly entertain him should be that he and Akina get along well and have a close relationship.
Ever since Akina mentioned the name "Shinichi Iwahashi" to her for the first time, ever since Akina and Shinichi Iwahashi started dating, Chieko felt that her daughter was slowly becoming different.
It was because of Shinichi Iwahashi's support that Akina came back to discuss selling the building. It was also after she started dating Iwahashi Shinichi that Akina felt like she had been washed away.
Akina undoubtedly met her own happiness.
Perhaps as a mother, she had such an idea in her mind early on, which seemed a bit arbitrary. However, Chieko saw the relationship between the two and what Iwahashi Shinichi did, and couldn't help but think so.
But even so, today, Akina said on the phone that Iwahashi Shinichi came back with her, which still surprised Chieko. In the surprise, there was still some embarrassment.
However, on the phone, Chieko did not let Akina notice her thoughts and feelings.
Chieko thought about the matter of Akio Nakamori borrowing money abroad and decided that she could not hide it from Akina. But Akina wanted to come back with Shinichi Iwahashi.
If you want to talk about this, you have to do it in front of Iwahashi Shinichi.
Chieko hung up the phone. After the accident and embarrassment, a choice appeared in front of her naturally.
…
After a little delay, it was almost noon and we finally arrived at Kiyose.
The kids in Shopping Street are familiar with the road. Shinichi Iwahashi sat in the passenger seat, watching his girlfriend play with the steering wheel gracefully, and then looking at the street outside the car window.
The two of them passed by Kiyose Station, and of course, they also passed by the former Nakamori Building. The building with a new entrance hall and a new signboard had long since washed away the mark of "Nakamori".
Nakamori Akina's eyes glanced there habitually, but there was no wave in her heart.
After walking for a while, the real Nakamori family is right in front of you.
