Akina Nakamori ended her short-term business trip on the 4th, and the day after she returned to Tokyo, she and Shinichi Iwahashi visited his hometown in Shizuoka.
We chose to visit on Sunday because of the time schedule of office worker Masaaki Iwahashi. If we missed this day, Akina Nakamori would have already held a concert in Nagoya on the next day off.
They both came to visit for a big event. They both felt that they should take the matter seriously and choose a suitable day.
Both parties have already met their parents and reported that they are preparing for marriage. The two elders of the Iwahashi family have also met with Chieko. Now that they have made preparations, they come to report that they have been naturalized, and more
It is to complete the form.
Because of this, we strive to be considerate in all aspects.
For Akina Nakamori, who entered into marriage happily, every time she did something seriously for the sake of marriage, it was not her trouble.
During this short business trip, in addition to completing her work, she also went on a shopping spree as usual, for herself, for Shinichi Iwahashi, and for her friends. Of course, she also had to prepare for this trip to Shizuoka and buy Shoaki Iwahashi.
The gift I gave to Chiyo Iwahashi, and the gift I brought to Chieko when I visited Chieko later.
Nakamori Akina was full of energy, and Iwahashi Shinichi, who didn't think there was any need to get excited, also got a little more involved. Sure enough, emotions can be contagious to each other.
...Although the Iwahashi family in Shizuoka is as calm as ever and has not been infected at all. The couple Masaaki Iwahashi and Chiyo Iwahashi seem to be immune to such things as emotions.
Iwahashi Masaaki finally didn't act like the head of the family. Before his son and daughter-in-law came back, he went out for a walk and then calculated the time to come back as if nothing had happened. Even so, don't expect him to sit in the reception room and wait.
When Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina arrived, Iwahashi Masaaki was hiding in the study and wiping golf clubs. While he was thinking about his swing strategy when he went to play golf with his colleagues next week, he raised his ears and listened to what was going on downstairs.
The turmoil of.
Chiyo Iwahashi had made preparations to entertain the guests early and was sitting alone in the Western-style living room waiting. She could guess what her husband, who had gone into the study after lunch, was thinking about at this moment.
If the couple were still young, Chiyo Iwahashi might pretend to be in the entrance hall and greet the visitors, playing tricks on her husband who was hiding.
That was something that could only have been accomplished thirty-five years ago.
However, Chiyo Iwahashi thought that Asako was thirty-six years old this year, so he added a little more to this number.
When he heard the movement at the door, Iwahashi Chiyo stood up. On the way to the entrance, she first heard Iwahashi Shinichi's voice. But it wasn't until Iwahashi Chiyo came over and Nakamori Akina lowered her head to her that she said hello.
"Welcome back." Chiyo Iwahashi accepted the greetings from the two of them, and added an extra sentence to Akina Nakamori: "Long time no see, Akina-chan."
…
Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina went back to Shizuoka specifically to report on their naturalization. Iwahashi Shoaki and Iwahashi Chiyo knew their purpose of coming in advance, so after Iwahashi Chiyo welcomed his son and daughter-in-law into the house, Iwahashi
Jiang Ming also quickly went downstairs.
"I came back this time to report something special to my father and mother."
Iwahashi Shin spoke one by one, and Nakamori Akinao bowed his head slightly as he followed his wife. He said: "Akina and I have applied for naturalization. From now on, Akina will be a member of the Iwahashi family."
Chiyo Iwahashi glanced at her husband, waiting for the head of the family to say the first words.
Iwahashi Shoaki said "Oh" and looked at Nakamori Akina, "Welcome." He spoke concisely and to the point. Iwahashi Chiyo followed the conversation and bowed slightly to Nakamori Akina, "Congratulations. From now on, as members of the same family,
Please give me some advice."
Nakamori Akina lowered her head even further and returned the courtesy to Iwahashi Shoaki and Iwahashi Chiyo.
Shomei Iwahashi realized it later and didn't say "congratulations" first. He didn't mean to ignore it, but he and his wife had met Nakamori Akina's mother a few months ago and decided to get married.
.In Iwahashi Masaaki’s heart, what his son said when he came back today was too natural.
However, I owed a "congratulations" after all. Iwahashi Masaaki looked at Akina Nakamori who looked very reserved, thought for a while, and added, "Our family is a very ordinary family, so please do everything in the future."
Just feel free to do it.”
I chose this moment to say these words, more or less, with an ambition that would never give up.
But Akina Nakamori smiled.
She bowed her head to Iwahashi Masaaki, and with this smile, she agreed: "Yes." Although she was a little embarrassed, she still had the courage to say to Iwahashi Masaaki, who seemed to be quite indifferent to others:
"I like the Iwahashi family very much."
After saying the words, Nakamori Akina felt her face heat up. However, she still felt that this was an important thing that should be said. After feeling the kindness from Iwahashi Masaaki, she should respond to this
A kindness.
Iwahashi Masaaki seemed to dislike Nakamori Akina's arrival, but that was not the case. Iwahashi Chiyo secretly took a look at her husband's expression and found it interesting in her heart.
Of these two children, as well as the son-in-law and daughter-in-law, only Akina Nakamori could respond to Masaaki Iwahashi's words with such a smile and seriously.
After reporting this major event, Iwahashi Shinichi explained the next arrangements to his parents. Iwahashi Chiyo listened carefully, and Iwahashi Masaaki was ready to make a move, "So, Shinichi, you are going to be on TV again."
At the end of the rainy season, the stuffy room suddenly felt cool. Iwahashi Shin didn't change his expression and replied, "More than that, it's the headline."
"It's really amazing for a public figure to get married." Masaaki Iwahashi nodded with emotion. Then he changed the subject, "Thanks to Akina-chan."
At this moment, if someone sighs, they can probably see a cloud of white steam blowing out in front of them.
In Masaaki Iwahashi's eyes, he still feels that his son is a man in black hiding behind the scenes. If Shinichi Iwahashi's marriage will receive a lot of attention, it may only be because he is marrying a female star.
Father and son, Masaaki Iwahashi and Shinichi Iwahashi, seemed to be in harmony. Only Akina Nakamori found this conversation interesting. The Iwahashi family was completely different from the family in which she was born and raised.
However, Akina Nakamori was sure from the bottom of her heart that she liked the Iwahashi family.
On the 10th, Akina Nakamori's first concert in Nagoya will be held. One day in advance, she will go to Nagoya to make preparations. From the 4th to the 9th, there is not much time left, but there are a lot of things to arrange.
The two of them did not stay at the Iwahashi house in Shizuoka for too long. After visiting in the afternoon and reporting the naturalization to their parents, before evening, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori said goodbye to Masaaki Iwahashi and Chiyo Iwahashi and prepared to return.
Tokyo.
"My father is easier to get along with than I thought." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
After hearing this, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but laugh at him, "This tone sounds like she just discovered this matter."
To a certain extent, Iwahashi Masaaki is a person who is easier to get along with than he seems. This is something Iwahashi Shinichi himself gradually discovered. He consciously made a mistake, but he easily resolved the sentence.
"As for Akina, you probably just discovered this."
When it was time to say goodbye, Shoaki Iwahashi and Chiyo Iwahashi went to the entrance to see them off.
The old couple were as usual, Iwahashi Masaaki looked quite cold, Iwahashi Chiyo was polite and thoughtful, and Iwahashi Shinichi said goodbye politely as usual. Only Akina Nakamori felt relieved, even though she was not polite or thoughtful at all.
Little, but involuntarily, showing a bit of liveliness.
Iwahashi Shinichi noticed this change in her and couldn't help but laugh at her.
However, Akina Nakamori shook her head and replied with a smile: "I have discovered it a long time ago."
"Have you discovered it a long time ago?"
Faced with Iwahashi Shinichi's surprise, Nakamori Akina looked even more proud. She nodded again, sometimes shaking her head, sometimes nodding again, making her look particularly childlike.
"I've known it for a long time," Nakamori Akina said, "Although Shoaki-san looks cold, he is actually very considerate of others."
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but laugh. He followed Akina Nakamori's kindness and continued, "Could it be that every time my father tells a cold joke in a serious manner, his original intention is to liven up the atmosphere?"
Akina Nakamori was stunned by this question and opened her eyes wide.
Seeing her expression, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help laughing.
…
After completing the naturalization report with Shizuoka's parents, Akina Nakamori called her mother, Chieko, and agreed on a time to visit her home and explain the matter face to face.
Although before preparing to go for naturalization, both Shizuoka's hometown and Chieko's place were notified in advance by phone. But since every step had to be completed solemnly, it was natural to report it again in person.
Unlike her hometown in Shizuoka, where she has to choose a day off to visit, Chieko's daughter Akina and Shinichi Iwahashi are always welcome to visit her home in Kita-Senju as long as she doesn't have an impromptu trip.
Chieko also planned to go to Akina's concert in Nagoya. In the days before the performance, she had been at home. She received a call from her daughter Akina that she was coming to visit, and of course she welcomed it with both hands.
Nakamori Akina looked through her itinerary and decided on a free time to go to Chieko's house with Shinichi Iwahashi for dinner. She made the decision, and Shinichi Iwahashi turned down the entertainment that night and went to Chieko's house together.
Akina Nakamori occasionally takes advantage of a short break between work to visit Chieko and have a cup of tea and snacks with her mother. But Shinichi Iwahashi only made an appointment with Akina Nakamori to go to Chieko's place for dinner together.
Only then did I have the opportunity to meet her.
I haven't seen Chieko for a while, but she looks pretty good and her hair has been carefully permed and dyed. Just by looking at her appearance, you can tell that she is full of energy for life.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and greeted her: "Chieko-san seems to be in pretty good condition."
When facing Chieko, Iwahashi Shinichi sometimes felt that he felt more at ease than facing Shizuoka's parents. Maybe it was because Chieko had a cheerful personality and was informal, so he could be more relaxed in front of her.
Iwahashi Shinichi sometimes feels that in addition to being an elder, Chieko is also like an older friend.
Chieko smiled and waved to him, and replied: "I've been in a good mood recently. I know you and Akina-chan were naturalized successfully... Congratulations."
Shinichi Iwahashi and Chieko were talking and laughing, while Akina Nakamori deliberately looked ignored.
In fact, no matter how she plays tricks, in the final analysis, it is all to make her mother happy.
Every time Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina come together, Chieko carefully prepares a rich and varied meal, and this time is no exception.
Chieko Kita Senju's house is not big. Now, as long as Nakamori Akina and Chieko are talking in the kitchen, they can't escape the ears of Iwahashi Shinichi. Conversely, if Nakamori Akina wants to tease Iwahashi Shinichi again, she will have to be caught.
Mother listened attentively.
After coming here several times and knowing about this, Shinichi Iwahashi simply stood outside the kitchen and chatted with the mother and daughter while Akina Nakamori went to help in the kitchen.
Although the two women were busy in the kitchen and he was standing on the side as a supervisor, the scene was beautiful enough.
It wasn't until dinner was almost ready and the food was served that Shinichi Iwahashi was able to do what he did best: arrange the dishes.
The three of them sat down to eat together after a long absence. Chieko was in a high mood and couldn't drink herself, so she encouraged her daughter and son-in-law to have a drink.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori readily agreed and filled up the wine glasses in front of them.
"It's great that Mr. Shinichi is safe from what happened last time." Chieko mentioned the old story again.
Unlike Shizuoka's Iwahashi Masaaki and Iwahashi Chiyo, Shizuoka's parents are the type of people who turn over the page after things happen.
, if you don’t greet me face to face again, you will feel that it is not appropriate enough.
Iwahashi Shinichi responded to Chieko with a smile, "At that time, it was really great to have Akina come to me as soon as possible."
He really means it.
Akina Nakamori was listening next to her, narrowing her eyes.
Chieko sat across from the two people. Seeing her daughter's expression that seemed to be smiling or reminiscing, she knew in her heart that it was not so much that Akina Nakamori felt warm in her heart because of Shinichi Iwahashi's words.
She said that it was Iwahashi Shinichi's words that reminded her of what happened that night again.
For Akina Nakamori, when she thought that Shinichi Iwahashi was in danger, there was no way to accept the tenderness and consideration from Shinichi Iwahashi.
A good daughter is like a mother. Chieko knows her daughter's personality very well.
Because of this, when Chieko heard Iwahashi Shinichi's words, she said: "Shinichi-kun is safe and sound, and Akina-chan's kindness has the meaning of its existence."
When the words came out of her mouth, Chieko felt that she had made a slight mistake.
But when Shinichi Iwahashi heard this, his heart moved, and he subconsciously glanced at Akina Nakamori.
