Choosing the wedding day to fall on a rest day won the favor of veteran office worker Masaaki Iwahashi. But having said that, after all, one of the protagonists of the wedding is a self-proclaimed office worker.
On the eve of the wedding, the Iwahashi family and the Nakamori family had dinner together.
Two mothers, Chieko and Iwahashi Chiyo, one is lively and talkative, the other is smart and smart, and they admire each other. The long-awaited meeting is more like a small gathering among friends than the in-laws who meet regularly before the wedding.
Masaaki Iwahashi looked at his wife who was chatting with Mrs. Nakamori, and thought to himself, his wife said that since parents can't interfere with their children's affairs, why not support her, but in fact, he was very fond of this daughter-in-law in his heart.
The two mothers chatted happily, and Iwahashi Masaaki had no choice but to drink quietly and adjust his position - just by accident.
If this is a daughter-in-law's marriage, the son-in-law will definitely try his best to please his father-in-law. But when a son marries a daughter-in-law, the family gathering becomes a drama between three women.
When Masaaki Iwahashi commented and complained in his heart, he was completely unaware that his thoughts could be simply summarized as his displeasure at being left out.
He thought secretly and put down his empty cup——
It's a pity that there was no chance for him to show off his ability to speak at the expense of one's life.
The waiter at the restaurant stood not too far away from the guests at the table. He could not hear the content of their chat, but he could always pay attention to the state of the table and step forward at the right time. However, it was Nakamori Akina who held up the wine.
The pot was filled again for Yanqiao.
Masaaki Iwahashi raised his eyelids and saw Akina Nakamori's childish face. He nodded slightly to her uncomfortably, "Oh..."
Akina Nakamori pursed her lips and showed a small smile.
My daughter, Chaozi, would never show such a smile to her father.
Seeing such a childish smile, Masaaki Iwahashi felt a little infected. But he was afraid that someone would find out that he was almost smiling, so he tried his best to straighten his face and silently brought the wine glass to his mouth, trying to show off his father-in-law's indifferent expression.
.
Iwahashi Shinichi saw his father's vivid expression in his eyes, and what he thought of was his sister Asako's helpless appearance against Nakamori Akina. In the Iwahashi family in Shizuoka, with the addition of Nakamori Akina as a family member, family gatherings in the future will probably be very complicated.
interesting.
He suppressed a smile and handed the cup to Akina Nakamori, "Give me a cup too."
As soon as the two couples exchanged glances, they knew what the other was thinking.
Akina Nakamori agreed simply, "Hayin~please." However, she didn't think that this father was funny just because Iwahashi Shinichi secretly laughed at Iwahashi Masaaki. On the contrary, from Iwahashi Masaaki's attitude, she felt
Feel the kindness from him.
When she was a child, Nakamori Akina was also very attentive in pouring wine for her father.
Such thoughts flashed through her mind. However, she was not sad. Instead, she felt warm that Iwahashi Shinichi's father could accept her glass of wine.
After the dinner party in the evening, Shoaki Iwahashi and Chiyo Iwahashi returned to the hotel where they were staying. Chieko was also preparing to go home. Tomorrow morning, she would have to get up early to prepare for the wedding.
The parents on both sides got into the taxi. Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori exchanged glances, but said nothing.
As a result, Akina Nakamori said confidently, "You say it first."
Iwahashi Shinichi blinked, "What do you want to say?"
"Don't you have anything to say?" Akina Nakamori asked.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while, "Say 'see you tomorrow'?" After looking at her expression, he added: "It's better to say 'let's go back too'."
In official matters, he was good at understanding people's hearts. However, Nakamori Akina's silence made him confused, so he had to shut his mouth and look at her.
Akina Nakamori smiled and said to him, "That's what you are, Shinichi."
What does this look like?
Iwahashi Shinichi tilted his head.
Nakamori Akina sighed softly, stretched out her hand and took his hand. Iwahashi Shinichi had a flash of inspiration and couldn't help but smile, and held the hand back, "Then let's walk for a while together."
…
The two left the emotionless driver behind and walked on the night streets.
Shinichi Iwahashi was puzzled by the amorous feelings. He opened his mouth and said something disappointing, "If you don't go back and rest early, you will have a wedding tomorrow with a pair of big dark circles under your eyes."
Akina Nakamori was very indifferent and told him with a smile, "No problem."
At this time, the naive Iwahashi Shinichi still didn’t know why Nakamori Akina said so confidently——
"Besides," Nakamori Akina changed the subject and told him, "Even if I go back to rest now, I will definitely not be able to sleep when I think about tomorrow."
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled at her, "Like an excited child the night before a hike."
"Huh?" Nakamori Akina glanced at him, "Shinichi, don't you feel the same way?" She said it, but she felt that she had said something inappropriate, so she pursed her lips.
But Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it seriously, "If you want to talk about excitement, it doesn't seem like this."
However, it does not seem to be the case to say that there is no fluctuation in his heart and he is calmly waiting for the next day. He thought hard, and suddenly, he heard a few chuckles. When he tilted his head, Nakamori Akina looked helpless and teased him, "Shenichi's
Your eyebrows can even be knotted.”
Iwahashi Shinichi raised his hand and touched the center of his brow, "It's okay. Thanks to you, I discovered it early enough and could save it in time."
"What a cold joke." Akina Nakamori made a surprised expression.
Her expressions were so vivid that Iwahashi Shinichi had no choice but to accept the ridicule honestly. However, Nakamori Akina's exaggeration was not to make him laugh.
She couldn't help but sigh softly.
Iwahashi Shinichi said of her, "Why do you sigh so much?"
"Don't Shinichi think I've been fooling around?" Nakamori Akina asked him. Indeed, before the wedding, she suddenly said she wanted to move out, and now she drags him out to hang out, but she always says things that seem to make things difficult for others.
Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head, "It's not like I'm just fooling around, but I seem to have some troubles."
"It's not really a worry." Akina Nakamori denied.
So what exactly is it?
She couldn't explain it herself, and Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't figure it out either. As a result, the two of them stared at each other for a while, then smiled at each other.
"Luxurious worries cannot be called worries." Akina Nakamori said.
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her with a smile, "What should that be?"
"It's a different kind of happiness." She gave a natural answer, with a childish look on her face as she spoke.
Shinichi Iwahashi could imagine how she was looking forward to the wedding.
…
When the important day arrives, it's inevitable that you won't be able to hold anything else in mind.
This may not necessarily be due to nervousness, but it must be because various things are arranged and waiting to be realized one by one. When waiting and arrangements are carried out at the same time, the mood becomes natural and the focus is on the same thing. Just like when you stand at the shooting range, you must concentrate on it.
.
On the wedding day, God is beautiful.
When I woke up early in the morning and looked at the sky, I knew it would be a sunny day.
Shinichi Iwahashi stood in front of the window. When he felt happy that today was a good day, there was no need to declare his expectations for the wedding.
