At dinner time, my father and eldest brother hadn’t come back yet.
Mother, Tsuruko and Naoki had dinner together again.
Tsuruko and I watched prime-time variety shows together until almost 10 o'clock, when they finally got home.
"Father, brother, I'm back."
Seeing the two people entering the door, Nagayama Naoki stood up and said hello.
The father, Yongshan Ken, took a good look at his second son and nodded: "Just come back!"
The eldest brother Nagayama Aoki patted him on the shoulder: "You have become stronger, Naoki!"
“I’ve been working out recently~”
But brother, what's going on? Your figure is becoming more and more tall and thick. He's becoming more and more like a typical Showa man, and he's a villain...
I've been busy all day, and I came back so late,
Naoki Nagayama and the two of them simply chatted about some of the things that happened in the past year, such as making movies and publishing.
Then, taking advantage of the opportunity of the whole family being together, he came up with an idea: "Father, Mother, do you want to go skiing in Hokkaido together during the New Year this year?"
In past New Years, due to various reasons (mainly money), the whole family gathered in the small county town of Shizuoka to celebrate the New Year. The three siblings, who were still children, discussed more than once how they wanted to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Now that Nagayama Naoki has made a little money, he wants to travel with the whole family to relax.
Tsuruko and his mother had already passed their breath in the afternoon. Of course Tsuruko was looking forward to it, while her mother said she wanted to see what her father thought.
The eldest brother Nagayama Aoki also looked at his father, his eyes also revealed that he wanted to go.
“Want to go skiing in Hokkaido?”
"Hey, I had this idea at the beginning of the year."
"The izakaya at home..." The father was also a little moved. Although he knew that his son was already very rich, he still couldn't save face.
"Father, the izakaya can open a day or two later. There is basically no business during the holidays."
My eldest brother’s words gave my father a step forward,
"Then I'll listen to you!"
It seems that he did this entirely because of Aoki's request.
After reaching an agreement,
The atmosphere at home is naturally more joyful,
One by one, we started discussing what we need to prepare for skiing.
...
The pace of life in small counties is relatively early,
While Nagayama Naoki was still asleep, his father and mother had already gotten up.
Then came Tsuruko and Aoki. Naoki, who was used to sleeping until he woke up naturally in Tokyo, suddenly found himself becoming what Tsuruko calls a "big lazy pig".
"Lazy Pig Sang, are you finally up?"
While Naoki Nagayama was still taking a shower, he suffered the first wave of vicious attacks from his sister. This was unbearable.
"Tsuruko-chan, you have such a venomous tongue at such a young age, be careful not to get married in the future~"
"Hmph, it's better than being single as a mother~"
"Oh? So Tsuruko-chan already has a boyfriend?"
Naoki seemed to have heard something extraordinary and immediately reported it to his mother.
"Ogasan, Tsuruko has a boyfriend!"
"Baga Naoki! What nonsense are you talking about!" He was about to use violence with all his teeth and claws.
"Hey, didn't you say it yourself~"
Nagayama Naoki hid directly in the kitchen and took his own breakfast from his mother as a shield.
"Don't come closer, the food is going to be spilled!"
My father and eldest brother had already eaten and were flipping through today's newspapers at the dining table. Their movements of turning pages were almost the same. If it weren't for the huge difference in body shape, they would have been carved from the same mold.
"Is there any news?" Nagayama Naoki asked Aoki who was reading the newspaper after sitting down.
“It has been almost two weeks since Poland in Europe declared martial law, and it is said that America is already planning to impose sanctions~”
"Aren't America still going to impose sanctions on the Soviet Union?"
Nagayama Naoki interjected, "As a man, when it comes to international events, you can talk about it for a long time."
Yesterday’s afternoon chat seemed to have completely cleared away the thoughts of the whole year.
Today's mother saw that Naoki Nagayama was calm, as if he had never left. Maybe tomorrow she would be full of disgust~
There are still four days until the official Chinese New Year. My father and eldest brother still have to go to the izakaya to work, which usually lasts until the last day. However, my mother always seems to be busy with housework. Tsuruko has to do his winter vacation homework, leaving Naoki Nagayama alone with nothing to do.
This state lasted until lunch, and after dawdling for a while, Naoki, who was really bored, decided to go out for a walk.
"Ogasang, I'm going out for a walk~"
The mother who was knitting clothes in the living room didn’t even raise her head: “Remember to come back for dinner~”
Where did that expectant mother go yesterday...
...
I was boring and didn't have many friends to begin with. What's more, almost two years have passed and most of my local acquaintances have embarked on different paths.
Some continue to go to school, some have already worked in factories, and some have inherited the family business and become fishermen or shopkeepers. If we meet now, it will be embarrassing.
Instead of wandering around the town, Naoki Nagayama took his camera and drove directly to Clearwater Bay in Shizuoka.
When I took a self-driving trip in summer last time, I saw the bare Mount Fuji and I always felt a bit regretful.
The weather is already so cold this time, you can always see the snow top~
In 1981, Clearwater Bay, also called Clearwater City, was a small city below Shizuoka. It relied on the rich fish resources of Suruga Bay to make a living.
However, with the development of the economy, the tourism industry in Clearwater Bay has also developed vigorously.
"In Qingshui, we can see Mount Fuji as soon as we go out."
It vividly illustrates the unique natural conditions of Clearwater Bay where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji.
Naoki Nagayama stopped on the coast of Clearwater Bay. When he raised his head, the figure of Mount Fuji came into view. In winter, Mount Fuji is calm and majestic.
The white snow tops are shining in the sun, and the thin clouds are low and wrapped around the snow line of the mountains. They just separate the reddish-brown mountains below, which is the color of the red maple leaves and the withered grass and trees in winter.

The light at two or three o'clock in the afternoon was very good, but it couldn't capture the desolation and distance of Mount Fuji at this time.
Nagayama Naoki decided to spend some time here and wait until the sunset.
The Suruga Bay ferry runs every 60 minutes from Clearwater Bay in Shizuoka to Toi Port on the Izu Peninsula.
The weather is very good, the deep blue water and the blue sky are integrated into one, the rising and falling waves and flowing white clouds are dotted on the beautiful blue canvas, the moving ferry, the distant coastline, the city port...
.all turned into a scene in the picture scroll.
For some reason, I didn’t see any dolphins today. Maybe it’s winter and they have migrated to warmer waters.
Nagayama Naoki took a camera and took pictures on the ferry, even the seagulls that occasionally stopped on the bow, like a foreigner who had never seen the world.
When he arrived at Izu Peninsula, it was already past 4 o'clock, and the sun had already begun to set. He didn't even buy the specialties of Izu Peninsula, but bought a return ticket to go back, which surprised the crew members who had checked the tickets before.
Can rich people play like this?
Yes!
Although he is not a professional photographer, Naoki Nagayama put a lot of thought into taking a good photo of Mount Fuji.
Sure enough, on the ferry back, Naoki Nagayama was able to take a photo of the spectacular scenery of Mount Fuji under the sunset.
The sun sets in the west,
The dim sunlight shines on the brown-gray Mount Fuji,
Just like a hero growing old and a famous general growing old,
The crystal-clear snow top is now like Mount Fuji’s head full of hair,
