When I opened my eyes, I saw a strange yet familiar ceiling.
This room is even smaller than the Makino family's room, only big enough for a desk and bed, but things can be stored in storage boxes in the closet.
I couldn't wear my previous clothes, so I had to take out the autumn and winter home casual clothes from the suitcase, including velvet warm cotton coats and loose woolen cardigan jackets.
Washing is done downstairs. After seeing it, Tsuruko Nagayama said, "I always think Ni-chan's dress is very trendy. Is this the style popular among celebrities now?"
"No, this is the fashion that will be popular in 30 years!"
"Huh, what a shame~" No one believes the truth...
Nagayama Aoki actually said: "It's too cold, there's no color at all. It's the New Year, shouldn't it be more lively!"
So you are wearing a pair of red socks, right, pretending to be the year of your birth year, right...
Today is the last day. In order to prepare for the New Year's dinner, the Nagayama family has been busy since the morning. Since they are a family that runs an izakaya, the father also helps in the kitchen, and the children can only help.
Three-day New Year's dinner for five people is no small project. Even if the whole family comes to the party, it won't be ready until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and they will just eat casually at noon.
Waiting for dinner is always very boring, and there was nothing particularly interesting before the NHK Red and White Song Concert. The three brothers and sisters decided to go shopping.
It was already this time, and most of the shops on the street were closed. The three of them walked along the road with remaining snow.
After leaving for a while, Nagayama Tsuruko began to mutter, "It's really boring. The shops are closed and there's no one... and it's so cold, I might as well watch TV at home..."
"It's not easy to see such a quiet scenery." Aoki added.
"Ni-chan, are there so few people in Tokyo now? Will they celebrate the New Year?" Tsuruko looked at Naoki.
"Tokyo, speaking of which, I haven't spent the New Year in Tokyo either."
"So you don't know anything..." Tsuruko mocked in Osaka accent.
"You know a little more than someone who has never been out of Shizuoka." "Hmph~"
"In Tokyo now, the streets should still be very lively. Those big shopping malls are open, and many of them have year-end activities.
If you go shopping in downtown Tokyo right now, there will definitely be a lot of people on the streets, even if you want to play pachinko."
Nagayama Tsuruko is obviously yearning for it: "I will definitely be admitted to a university in Tokyo in the future! I will be a white-collar worker in a big city!"
"Do you want to be a social animal? It's very hard~"
"What are you doing? Shouldn't the elder brother encourage the younger sister to work hard at this time?"
"Hey, come on, Tsuruko-chan~"
Naoki Nagayama comforted his younger sister who was about to explode, when his eldest brother suddenly said: "Naoki has changed a lot this year!"
"Ha, I did learn a lot of tips on styling and grooming, and I also started to exercise."
"It's not about this aspect, it's about other aspects." I always thought that Nagayama Aoki was naive, but I didn't expect that he was so wise and foolish.
Tsuruko interrupted again: "Yes, Ni-chan used to be super boring~"
"Well, living alone in a big city, you will always experience a lot. Times are changing so fast now, and it's impossible for people not to follow the changes~" Now Naoki Nagayama is not afraid at all of being discovered that he has changed his person.
.
"You said it all," Tsuruko said a little disdainfully, "What are the skills in styling and dressing up? I want to learn it!"
"I won't tell you~haha"
"Qi Kexiu... you must tell me!"
When I got home, my mother had basically put the New Year's Eve dinner on the table, and the family gathered around the table to start eating the New Year's Eve dinner, and also waited for the start of the Red and White Song Concert. Suddenly Tsuruko pointed at the TV and said, "Nee-chan, what about that?"
It's you?"
"Ah?" Naoki was stunned, and then saw a soda commercial on TV. A refreshing and handsome young man was chasing a green plum, starting from a seed until it grew into fruit, and then picked a bottle of green plum-flavored soda from the tree.
, took a sip and said with a hearty smile, this is the taste of green plums that I like~
The advertisement is said to have been promoted for some time, but this is also the first time Naoki Nagayama has seen it on TV.
The family watched their advertisement together, which was like a large-scale social death scene. Nagayama Nanako said with a smile: "Naoki is really handsome!" Others also laughed.
The happy atmosphere lasted until the Red and White Song Festival, when everyone was holding tea and eating snacks...
Seeing Seiko Matsuda appear at the concert, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but think that the sold songs should be released at the end of January, and by then he would have received a small sum of money~
As I watched, it was the end of the Red and White Song Concert, and the TV turned into the sound of temple bells.
Amidst the 108 bells of the temple, the first year of the 1980s officially passed.
The next rb was still developing rapidly. It began to enter the bubble in 1986, reached its peak in 1991, and then fell into the abyss...
...
The morning of Showa 56 was no different from the past.
Even though he stayed up till early in the morning last night, his young body still felt nothing. The cold air outside the window lifted Naoki Nagayama's spirit even more.
Nagayama Nanako has already prepared breakfast, which was the previous New Year's meal and was heated with hot water. "Ogasan, happy New Year~"
"Happy New Year Naoki, why did you get up so early?"
"Hey, I can't sleep."
"What are you planning to do in the New Year?"
"It's nothing special." You can't say that you just want to stay at home until the end of January. "Ah, by the way, New Year's gifts, I brought New Year's gifts to everyone."
"Really?"
"Nani Nani? I heard New Year's gift~"
The New Year's gift that Tsuruko has been thinking about has been put off until now. Usually New Year's gifts at home are prepared by parents, such as new clothes, shoes, scarves and the like, but this year Naoki is considered to be independent, so he brought back New Year's gifts.
Naoki Nagayama went back to his room to pick up a few gifts: the latest skin care set for his mother, the latest cosmetics for Tsuruko. Naoki was actually not familiar with these, so he bought them based on the recommendation of the salesperson.
Yes, anyway, the sales lady was all smiles when she went out, so she must have a lot of commission~
As for my father and eldest brother, they actually don't have many hobbies. After getting busy, my father likes to drink tea, so Naoki Nagayama gave him a set of purple sand tea sets. The impatient eldest brother actually likes sea fishing and got a new fishing rod.
As soon as the gift was received, Nagayama Tsuruko happily gesticulated with her mother, apparently wanting to discuss how to use cosmetics.
The father kept his expression quietly and just put the tea set in the usual cabinet, while the eldest brother couldn't wait to try out the new fishing rod.
On the first day of the New Year, the whole family is filled with a happy atmosphere.
