In Nagayama Naoki's impression, it was nothing more than eating, drinking, having fun and doing homework. After all, this was also the first time he officially entered the workforce to celebrate the New Year.
Of course, we still have to live the same life, buy beds, buy furniture, buy electrical appliances, buy daily necessities, move to a new house, and we always have to do the same things.
There is only one week left before the Chinese New Year, so I have to buy gifts!
It is said that the children of the landlord, Mrs. Makino, will be coming back for the New Year soon, and she cannot hide the smile on her face when she talks about this.
Wonta Nakai actually took Hoshino Suzumi back to his hometown first... What kind of operation is this? Did he jump directly to meeting his parents?
Naoki Nagayama moved alone in the last two days, and all his belongings were only the size of a suitcase. After bidding farewell to Mrs. Makino, he finally moved into his first apartment on the afternoon of December 26, 1955.
.
I ate the housewarming dinner alone when I moved into my new home. I have been single for more than 40 years, so it was no problem to fill my stomach. After that, I started reading magazines, listening to records, and enjoying old-fashioned TV programs, until late at night, I washed up and went to bed.
....
It seems a bit lonely, but according to the character of the predecessor, there is nothing you can do. It is good to make two friends, Wonta Nakai and Suzumi Hoshino, by the end of the year. RB itself is also a lonely society.
However, the meaning of owning a house is different after all. It is a sign of taking root in a city.
In a house of his own, Nagayama Naoki slept soundly that day.
...
The next day, there was nothing else to do. I informed a few acquaintances of my moving information and my latest phone number, and got familiar with the surrounding environment.
Then on the third day, I packed up my gifts and prepared to go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year.
The train bound for Shizuoka started slowly, and Naoki Nagayama embarked on a journey back to his hometown along the road he took to Tokyo a year ago.
Shizuoka is a coastal city, located between Osaka and Tokyo. The port conditions are actually very good. If it were not surrounded by mountains and the plain area was too small, it might become a large port city like Tokyo Bay.
After leaving the station, I walked back to my home along the road I remembered. It was located among a group of houses. The house at home was a standard one-family house built by Ken Nagayama after his marriage 20 years ago.
Looking at the sign of Ken Nagayama nailed on the door, the next ones are mother, eldest brother, myself, Tsuruko... growing up in this house, and then leaving home a year ago...
.I felt a little emotional for a moment...
"Onii-chan?"
Suddenly there was such a call from beside me.
There are still two days until the Chinese New Year, and the last day of junior high school is just cleaning, so around noon Nagayama Tsuruko went home chatting and laughing with a group of friends.
When they were about to get home, their companion Nai-chan saw the figure at the door of Nagayama's house and quickly whispered: "Tsuruko-chan, look, look, there is a handsome guy over there! He is very fashionable and handsome!" The remaining girls agreed in unison.
I paid attention. "Ah, I stopped in front of your house~"
The fitness training in Tokyo was very effective. I gained a layer of well-proportioned muscles on my body and no longer looked weak. I even increased my height by a few centimeters, almost reaching 1.8 meters. When I was filming the commercial, an experienced stylist created a shallow look.
Short hair with light bangs, trimming eyebrows and removing face, revealing a fair and handsome face... I also learned a lot of styling tips...
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Naoki Nagayama came back wearing a gray high-collar plus fleece sweater, a dark gray plaid windbreaker, black nine-point trousers, and white sneakers...properly
The ascetic style boss.
When I was in Tokyo, there were many hippies and hippies who stole the spotlight. But in Shizuoka, it was like people from a different style of painting.
"Why is such a handsome guy standing in front of my house?" Yongshan Tsuruko was full of doubts. Under the urging of his friends, he walked toward the person. However, as he got closer, he felt more and more familiar...
This person is: "Onii-chan?"
Turning around, "Ah, it's Tsuruko. Are you back from school vacation?" Nagayama Naoki saw a group of little girls in school uniforms and immediately understood the whole story.
"Todoroki? Is it Naoki-chan?" "Isn't that possible?" "Kakuichi" "Did you just come back?"... Everyone is a neighbor, and they all know the original Naoki Nagayama, but now they don't
Dare to believe.
Nagayama Naoki smiled at the group of little sisters, "Hello everyone, I just came back from Tokyo..." Then he opened the door and walked in, "Tsuruko, let's go in~"
"Hi, Nai-chan, Mina-san, I'll go in first, bye~" Tsuruko said goodbye hurriedly, and then followed in.
Her father and elder brother are probably still busy at the izakaya, and there are usually some customers on the last day. They eat and drink in the shop. Nanako Nagayama is usually at home at this time. At this time, she has heard the sound at the door and is looking out of the living room.
.
Yongshan Naoki came in and saw: "Ogasan, I'm back!"
At this time, Nagayama Nanako was a little confused. Is this fashionable and handsome young man my boring son Naoki?
"Gasang, big event, Ni-chan has become a handsome guy!" Nagayama Tsuruko shouted, breaking the somewhat cold atmosphere.
Nagayama Nanako hurried over to take the suitcase, and then asked Nagayama Naoki to sit down in the living room, and Nagayama Tsuruko immediately sat aside and started asking questions like a barrage of questions: "Ni-chan, how did you become so handsome?"
Where did you buy the clothes?" "What's your hair style?"...
Nagayama Naoki could only deal with it slowly one by one. His mother put the suitcase in Naoki's original room, made tea, brought it to the living room table, and sat aside to listen.
"I made a little money by filming commercials and selling songs, so I have changed my residence now. If I need to contact her in the future, I will use a new phone number." Naoki Nagayama gave his mother the address and phone number of his new home.
"Filming an advertisement? Did Ni-chan actually become a model?"
"No, it's just an unexpected cooperation. It may not happen again in the future."
"What kind of commercial are you filming?"
“A green plum flavored soda”
"Green plum flavor, does it taste good? Where can I buy it?"
“It’s not on the market yet~”
"Are you still selling songs? When did Ni-chan become a composer?"
"No, I just happened to write a copy of the lyrics and then it was accepted by the agency~"
.......
Mother Nanako also inserted questions from time to time, and the sense of alienation after a year disappeared in every sentence of chat.
When it was time to have lunch, the chat was temporarily suspended.
What I had for lunch was home-cooked food. It tasted like a snack and suddenly I hadn’t eaten it for a long time. It made me very satisfied.
After dinner, Tsuruko helped wash the dishes, and Nagayama Naoki sat in the living room drinking tea... He had already gotten used to this life.
At this time, a little head stuck out from the kitchen: "Have you bought a New Year gift?"
"Of course I bought it."
"What is it?"
"Of course this only makes sense when you discover it yourself when you receive the gift."
"It's annoying, I've become so mysterious after going to Tokyo..."
...
At night, my father and eldest brother finally came back.
When he saw Nagayama Naoki greeting him, Nagayama Ken almost asked, "Who are you?" His eldest brother Nagayama Aoki was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear, "Is this Naoki? My brother?"
However, after sitting down in the living room, there was no sound for a while.
Both Nagayama Takeru and Naoki have silent and stubborn characters. In the past, they only communicated on matters, and there was no conversation. Aoki had many problems, but he didn't know what to say at the moment.
So Naoki Nagayama could only break the silence now: "Father, is the izakaya closed today?"
"Ah, yes, there will be a rest period from today until the 4th of next year."
"How is the business this year? Has the eldest brother begun to take over the general's work?"
"There are more and more companies in the city this year. Thanks to them, more customers come to shop. However, Aoki still needs to continue to learn the responsibility of a general."
"Father! I have learned all the dishes!" Nagayama Aoki was unwilling to give up.
"Still a long way to go!"
In this way, we talked slowly, sentence after sentence, until dinner and after dinner.
