Even so, this apple ditty didn't stay in Shinichi Iwahashi's hands for long.
Two days after someone from Hibari Misora's office sent the painting over, he forwarded it to Akina Nakamori. Perhaps it could also be said that it was for the purpose of passing it on to her mother, Chieko.
The mother who dreamed of becoming a singer after watching Misora Hibari, and the daughter who unknowingly planted the dream of singing in her heart while learning to sing "Apple Minor" from her mother.
The song "Apple Ditty" allows the seed that sprouted because of Misora Skylark to move from the mother to the daughter. Then, the seed grows vigorously and shines.
Iwahashi Shinichi felt that it would be more appropriate to transfer the painting to Nakamori Akina and Chieko than to keep it in his own hands.
So, thanks to this painting, he went to Nakamori Akina's hometown for the second time to visit Chieko, deliver the painting, and have lunch.
…
Before going, Akina Nakamori taught him earnestly on the phone, telling him not to wander around the shopping street and go directly to her house. As for the reasons, she also gave them quite sufficient reasons——
"Shinichi, you are so popular with the elderly wife that you will definitely be recognized when you go to the shopping street, and then you will be asked why you are there."
Nakamori Akina's tone didn't sound like a reminder, but rather like she was trying to scare an ignorant child with an unreliable urban legend.
The documentary program THE BLUE HEARTS has been airing for some time. Shinichi Iwahashi, who only appeared on the program, even though the wives liked him so much that they called TV Asahi over and over again, he never appeared again after that.
Mirror, as long as he doesn't reveal himself, he won't be recognized by his sharp eyes.
Rather than reminding him, Akina Nakamori took this opportunity to deliberately tease him.
This Taopusida was not only proud of him, but also had some small and subtle emotions about her boyfriend suddenly becoming the favorite of the public overnight.
Iwahashi Shinichi heard this and deliberately teased her, "Then I'll answer that I like to eat snacks from a certain store here, so I came here to buy them."
"It's so glib." Akina Nakamori said with disdain.
If he really said that, the lady in the shopping street would be delighted by him.
This reaction made Shinichi Iwahashi burst into laughter. Nakamori Akina realized later that she had been teased by this guy as a fool, and she became dissatisfied - completely forgetting that she was the one who made fun of him in the first place.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it to him. And because of the phone line, I couldn't use the most effective move - to pounce on him and defeat him physically.
As long as you want to see him, no matter what the reason is, it is extremely annoying to be across the phone line.
"Anyway," she decided not to argue with this smooth-talking housekeeper for the time being and get down to business, "you still remember where my home is, right?"
Shinichi Iwahashi gave an affirmative answer, "Of course."
Not only that, but I also followed her instructions and went directly to her home instead of wandering around the shopping street.
Of course, it was not to hide from the ladies in the shopping street. It was purely a once-in-a-lifetime experience and there was no need to take any detours. We went directly to the house with a row of nameplates behind "Zhongsen".
…
Previously, Chieko had expressed to her daughter that she was welcome to have Iwahashi Shinichi as a guest again. She was also very welcoming to him coming for dinner this time. After receiving the call, she drafted the menu early and started preparations.
No one else in the family knew that only the mother and the daughter were keeping the same secret. They called beforehand because Shinichi Iwahashi was going to be a guest, and they talked about this and that around Shinichi Iwahashi.
Having a secret with her mother that only belongs to them, Nakamori Akina feels like she is acting like a spoiled child with her mother. Not only that, this is the only interaction she has with her mother.
And the more she acts coquettishly towards her mother, it means that her relationship with Shinichi Iwahashi will go smoothly.
Her daughter and Iwahashi Shinichi get along well, and Chieko, as a mother, is happy for her in her heart. She has always had a good impression of Iwahashi Shinichi, but even so, she never thought that he would buy Misora Hibari's self-made "
"Apple Ditty" was given to her and Akina.
On the one hand, I felt surprised and surprised when I received such a gift. On the other hand, I also realized Shinichi Iwahashi’s intention in buying this painting.
Chieko looked at the apple ditty with great interest, and Akina Nakamori seemed to join in the fun, head to head with her mother, like a curious kitten, blinking its bright eyes.
In fact, the three people present were all laymen and could not appreciate the painting skills of Misora Hibari. But then again, when Iwahashi Shinichi decided to choose this apple tune, he thought that the meaning was greater than the value.
Otherwise, instead of accepting the hobby works of old artists, it is better to buy something with a little insurance.
For the mother and daughter who are looking at the painting, the quality of the painting is more important than the quality of the painting because "Hibari Misora's Apple Little" connects their dreams, and because "Hibari Misora's Apple Little" brings back old memories.
The collection is the preciousness of this painting.
"I'm so touched to receive such a gift. Thank you, Iwahashi-kun." Chieko raised her head and thanked him.
Akina Nakamori looked up like a duck following its mother. However, her girlfriend spoke more casually. She blinked and said, "You wanted to buy this from the beginning, right?"
"
"I have to buy something anyway." Iwahashi Shinichi was unwilling to say that this was intentional.
However, the person who told him about "Apple Little" was Nakamori Akina herself. She knew it very well, and because she was sitting next to her mother, her little tricks would not be discovered, so she poked him with her eyes openly.
After receiving her small look, Iwahashi Shinichi changed from his usual calm and calm expression, as if he was really poked by her gaze, with a subtle expression.
He didn't cooperate, so Akina Nakamori, who thought she could play a clever trick, had to follow suit. Realizing that her mother had found out the clue, she stuck out her tongue a little uninterested. Afterwards, she realized that she was tricked by Iwahashi Shinichi again, and she couldn't help but
Puff your cheeks.
Chieko is a bystander, so she doesn't understand. She feels amused by the fact that her daughter is being fooled around.
However, she tried hard not to laugh.
For the mother Chieko, finding her daughter Akina funny when being teased is a sign of her trust in Shinichi Iwahashi. Not laughing at her because she was teased is out of love for her daughter.
But on the other hand, Shinichi Iwahashi, who has always been calm, teases Akina Nakamori in front of Chieko, which is also a way to express his affection and trust.
After a while, Chieko got up and left the living room.
There were only two of them here, and Akina Nakamori couldn't help it for a moment. She leaned forward, stretched out her little face, and said angrily, "Why are you so cunning and evil-minded?"
Iwahashi Shinichi stared at her cold-shouldered expression, "Is there any?"
She snorted, "It's useless even if you pretend to be fine."
It's okay not to say that, but after saying that, Iwahashi Shinichi blinked his eyes, and actually looked innocent, and became more and more comfortable at teasing her.
Akina Nakamori stared, "Do you think I won't fight back or come back with revenge?"
The paper tiger had sharp teeth and threatened him, "I will repay him twice as much."
"What?"
Shinichi Iwahashi told her to bluff and stared at her. He watched helplessly as the paper tiger rolled its eyes and rushed towards him——
Leng Buding wanted to kiss his lips.
Iwahashi Shinichi hid for a moment, "Don't make trouble."
"Just make a fuss." She fumed angrily, ready to break the pot. "Anyway, I'm thick-skinned and I'm not ashamed. Even if my mother sees it, it doesn't matter."
As the paper tiger spoke, he walked up to him on his knees, raised his little face, pursed his lips, and looked at him.
Iwahashi Shinichi surrendered and said, "Spare me." Is this what she meant by "repaying me twice as much"?
Nakamori Akina saw Nianxia-kun's dejected look in her eyes and was finally amused. The most effective way to make this shameless Nianxia-kun obey is to stick to him.
However, it is not a method that can be used frequently...it can only be used occasionally to scare him.
"Then I'll let you go first." She looked like an adult.
But in fact, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. In the final analysis, "not afraid of being seen by her mother" was just a talk. If she really did it, she wouldn't be able to bear it.
"Thank you." Iwahashi Shinichi said seriously.
Nakamori Akina hummed twice, stretched out her hand and put it on the back of his hand. When their eyes met, she whispered to him, "Isn't this embarrassing?"
Shinichi Iwahashi felt the fingers she put up, "I'm so happy."
"How naughty," she said.
After she finished complaining, she couldn't help it and started laughing. She took Shinichi Iwahashi's hand and said, "Mother must like Misora-san's paintings very much."
"Thank you." Akina Nakamori looked into his eyes.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't answer her words, but he had a sudden thought, "I have never known what it was like for you to sing "Apple Minor", and I can't even imagine it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Akina Nakamori withdrew her hand, made a gesture of holding the microphone, put it to her mouth, and cleared her throat——
"The petals of apples are scattered in the wind~"
"On a moonlit night~in a moonlit night~quietly~"
Before she started singing, she was still holding her airs. She didn't even sing a few words before she started laughing. She put down her hand and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi with a smile, "That's it."
Shin Iwahashi listened to it again and again, finding it strange and interesting. He made a gesture of making a fist, then handed the transparent microphone to her mouth, inviting her to continue.
As a result, Akina Nakamori hit him lightly and slapped his hand away.
It's okay for Taopu Star to act like a big name and go on strike.
After she finished her big show, she stood up and said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "I'm going to see what mother is doing."
After confidently announcing her action plan, Nakamori Akina opened the sliding paper door and walked out. In the corridor, she saw her mother standing in front of the phone making a call.
Chieko heard the movement and looked towards her.
Nakamori Akina narrowed her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and greeted her mother.
Chieko stretched out her finger and pointed twice. The daughter who had been with her mother since she was a child knew her mother's code-like gestures very well. She nodded and walked into the kitchen lightly.
Hot water is boiling on the stove, the bottom of the kettle is making a clicking sound, and the tea has been prepared. Nakamori Akina naturally took over the task of making tea from her mother, preparing snacks after dinner, and entertaining Iwahashi Shinichi.
She was very happy, remembering the "Apple Ditty" she had just sung to Shinichi Iwahashi, and hummed softly.
…
Chieko put down the phone and returned to the living room instead of entering the kitchen.
Iwahashi Shinichi is familiar with the layout of this living room. But because of the familiarity, he is no longer curious. He can't look around, so he can only sit quietly and focus on
On top of that Apple Ditty.
Hearing the sliding door of the living room, he looked up and saw Chieko coming in.
He sat up straighter and nodded politely.
"Although I am a fan, I didn't know Hibari-san had such painting skills." Chieko said in a bright and generous tone, "Thanks to you, Iwahashi-kun, I found out about this."
Such an expression and tone reminded Shinichi Iwahashi of what Akina Nakamori had told him. When Chieko was young, in order to raise her children, she went around the streets selling small commodities and was a very popular salesman.
He believes that Chieko has the charm to be popular with her neighbors.
"It's Akina..." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Last time I came here, I had a bite of "Mingcai Mulberry". Chieko couldn't help but smile.
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't guess what Chieko was thinking, so he said his own, "I heard from her that you are really good at singing Misora-san's "Apple Minor"."
After hearing this, Chieko said something terrible and laughed: "It's such an exaggeration."
Nakamori Akina's confident tone is exactly the same as bragging to Shinichi Iwahashi that her mother's fried burgers are the most delicious. However, it is different from the feeling of sweating when her daughter brags about her burger frying skills. In "Apple Minor"
Above, Chieko is quite confident.
"A few years ago, when my family still ran a small restaurant, I often sang using the karaoke equipment in the store." Chieko told him.
Iwahashi Shinichi listened quietly.
"After that, everyone in the family opened new restaurants."
Iwahashi Shinichi did not expect that Chieko would take the initiative to talk about family affairs. Of course, Chieko, who said these words, also knew that Iwahashi Shinichi knew the current situation of the Nakamori family very well.
After all, it was he who persuaded Minato to come back and discuss the building with her, a mother.
"Thank you for your advice for Akina-chan." Chieko suddenly thanked him.
Shinichi Iwahashi didn't know what to say, so he responded, "It's not really an idea." He told the truth, "I just thought that Akina's favorite thing is her mother."
Chieko laughed.
After all, it was Nakamori Akina's family matter. Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't say much. Faced with Chieko's attitude, he couldn't guess why she suddenly mentioned it and whether she had any plans.
At this time, there was movement outside the living room. Nakamori Akina came in quickly holding a large tray and asked, "What is mother saying to Shinichi?"
Chieko looked at her daughter and said, "I was telling Iwahashi-kun that Akina-chan's "Apple Minor" is very nice."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Yeah", and encouraged by Chieko, he started teasing Nakamori Akina again, "Really?"
Nakamori Akina raised her eyelids and secretly took a look at the guy pretending to be a fool.
...Didn’t you just hear it?
But Chieko clenched her fist and handed the invisible microphone to her daughter as a joke.
The two of them teamed up to play tricks on Akina Nakamori.
