"Ni-chan, where have you been? You're back so late~"
Tsuruko asked a little dissatisfied at the dining table. He originally wanted to take a convertible car for a drive after finishing his homework~
"I didn't go anywhere, just to Clearwater Bay, where I took some photos of Mount Fuji."
Nagayama Naoki took a bite of the fried squid on the plate. It was crispy, the fish was tender and juicy, and it tasted great.
"Mount Fuji, what's so good to take pictures of...haven't you seen it since you were a kid?"
As a native of Shizuoka, Tsuruko is very familiar with Mount Fuji and has no feeling at all.
Someone once said that traveling means going from a place where you are tired of staying to a place where others are tired of staying.
This sentence is very appropriate!
"It's a different angle~ I still miss it a lot."
"Hey, that's weird." Tsuruko muttered, "Ni-chan, how about you take me for a ride tomorrow?"
"Hey, are you going for a ride in the cold weather? Is your brain broken, Tsuruko?"
Nagayama Naoki glanced sideways at Tsuruko,
"Who says you can't go for a ride in winter..." Hezi didn't even consider this, but he still said it.
Mother Nanako, who was quietly listening to her son and daughter bickering, said at this time:
"Forget about going for a ride or something. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, go help buy some things for the New Year."
"Hi~" X2
My father and elder brother still didn’t come back until 90 o’clock in the evening. Although it only opened at 10:30 in the morning, it was open until after 9 o’clock. It was indeed quite hard, not much different from 997, and all the money earned was hard-earned money.
.
After chatting for a while, the two of them went to wash up and go to bed. Looking at their tired looks, Nagayama Naoki thought in his heart, how to persuade them to invest in real estate, become a charterer or something, wouldn't it be very delicious?
...
The Chinese New Year is coming in three days, and the market in Shizuoka is still very lively.
Taking advantage of the last two days of the year, everyone seems to want to buy everything.
The small traders also hope to clear out their goods so that they can go back and have a good New Year.
"Tsuruko, the next item is seaweed."
Naoki Nagayama held a shopping list full of handwriting and was crossing off items one by one.
"So, what does Ni-chan do here? He doesn't know how to pick things, and he doesn't know how to bargain!"
Nagayama Tsuruko looked disgusted, "Are you just here to supervise the work?"
"What, at least I can help carry the bag~"
Indeed, Naoki Nagayama could never do such things as bargaining at the vegetable market, whether in his previous life or in this life.
It's fine in Tokyo, as long as you choose according to the price in the supermarket.
In such a small market, the price quoted by the merchant and the price after bargaining are likely to be twice as different!
Seeing Tsuruko, who was familiar with the family and bargaining with his aunt, Naoki felt a sense of admiration in his heart: "I didn't expect Tsuruko to have such ability!"
After wandering around the market for almost an hour, I finally cleared all the items on my shopping list.
Naoki Nagayama carried two large bags and put them in the back seat of the convertible.
"It's really heavy!"
"I guess I have bought all the reserves for the week!"
Tsuruko said next to him that originally he would buy these foods every other day, but this time he bought too much at once.
Nagayama Naoki started the car and drove home.
"Tsuruko, can you ski?"
"Of course I will. Didn't we skate together when it snowed in Shizuoka before?" Tsuruko was puzzled.
"That kind of thing can only be regarded as sledding..."
Nagayama Naoki remembered how he, his elder brother and Tsuruko used to slide down the hillside on skis.
"It looks like I still need to learn some..."
"Study with whom?"
"Of course it's a ski instructor. Ski resorts in Hokkaido will definitely provide similar services!"
"Oh..." Tsuruko paused and asked again, "Has Ni-chan booked the ski resort?"
"Of course, I made a call yesterday about Teine Ski Resort in Sapporo. After the new year, we will first go to Asarigawa Hot Spring Village in Sapporo and then go skiing at Teine Ski Resort the next day."
"Teine Ski Resort? Is it the venue for the Winter Olympics?"
"Hey, does Tsuruko know about it too?" Nagayama Naoki glanced at it in surprise, "It is said that it is a very suitable ski resort for beginners, and you can also view the souvenirs of the Winter Olympics."
Tsuruko was stimulated by Naoki's eyes: "The look in Ni-chan's eyes just now, did you think I was an idiot?"
"No~" I had to quickly retort, "I just thought you wouldn't know. After all, it happened many years ago."
"I was already in elementary school at that time, okay~"
"Who knows you still remember things from elementary school..."
The brother and sister returned home arguing, opened the door, and unexpectedly saw their father in the living room.
"Father, why are you back at this time? Where is my elder brother?"
Nagayama Naoki was a little curious and originally thought he was coming back to pick up something, but looking at his father and mother in the living room, it seemed like something big had happened.
"Ah, Aoki is still at the izakaya, I'll let him hold on by himself for a while."
"Huh? Has my father finally decided to pass on the position of general to my eldest brother?"
Naoki Nagayama knew very well how much his father valued the izakaya. Although it had been nearly two years, his eldest son was still a little worried about being alone.
"How is that possible! This guy Aoki is still far behind!"
Nagayama Ken suddenly became animated, then glanced at his mother and said to Nagayama Naoki:
"Naoki, grandpa wants to see you."
grandfather?
Not only Naoki, but also Tsuruko was stunned after hearing this.
Ever since they became sensible, the two of them had only the impression of their grandfather as the person in a photo. I heard he was a big boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Maybe Brother Aoki still remembers it, but these two people really only met when they were very young and don't even have memories.
"Grandpa... why does grandpa want to see me suddenly?"
Since joining the organization, my grandfather's real "family" has become people from that side. After my father grew up and separated, the contact with both sides became less and less.
On the one hand, this is because his father is not loved, and on the other hand, it also shows that his father’s lineage will no longer inherit the gang family business.
In this age where morality is still important, no harm comes to the family within the family. This refers to this kind of separated bloodline.
As for the Yamaguchi-gumi family, who inherited the family name from their grandfather, they have a relationship of prosperity and loss.
Yongshan Ken didn't know what his grandfather was thinking: "I don't know either. Grandpa asked others to bring a message in the morning."
The sudden appearance of several young men at the izakaya made him a little confused.
Tsuruko was shouting at the side: "Nii-chan won't be kidnapped in the past, right?"
Yongshan Jian's face darkened: "What are you talking about!"
"After all, Ni-chan is considered a rich man now~"
Mother Nanako patted Tsuruko and said, "Don't talk nonsense, he's your grandfather after all!"
Nagayama Naoki thought about it for a moment, and it was right. After all, he was his grandfather. Even if they were not close to each other, it was unlikely that he would be thinking of harm to him.
"Well, since it's grandpa who wants to see me, then go ahead~"
"Well... we should meet." Yongshan Ken nodded.
"Let's bring some New Year's goods by the way." Mother added, "After all, the New Year is coming soon."
