Yongshan Feng sent Naoki out, "Brother Naoki, come visit me often in the future~"
"Okay, I'll treat Brother Feng to a drink when you have time~"
With such politeness, he opened the door of the sports car parked nearby.
"Please stay~"
After getting in the car, Nagayama Naoki breathed a sigh of relief, started the car, and drove slowly towards his hometown.
Yongshan Feng waited until the car was completely out of sight before returning to the main house.
Hayato Nagayama in the Japanese room was closing his eyes to rest, and opened his eyes after hearing the noise:
"Feng, what do you think of your cousin?"
Yongshan Feng did not rush to reply. He thought about his cousin's performance for a moment.
"He is a very talented young man."
"Oh? Talented?"
"When we first met, I was polite and courteous, and I was able to talk to my grandfather with ease." Yongshan Feng paused and continued, "The ability to make money is also very strong. I said before that I don't need support. I'm afraid I'm not trying to be brave."
Hayato Nagayama was curious: "Why do you say that?"
"He drives a high-end convertible sports car, a very fashionable one..."
There was envy in Nagashan Kaede's tone. Even though he was the grandson of a Yamaguchi-gumi cadre, he couldn't afford such an expensive car. The dividends he received were either used to win over his younger brothers to eat and drink, or they were spread out to make friends, so there wasn't much left over every month.
Hayato Nagayama's level is affordable enough, but at this age, what he prefers is a more majestic car, not as ostentatious as young people.
"Is that so, hahaha, it seems that there is indeed a different person in the Yongshan family." Yongshan Hayato smiled, and then said to his grandson, "Kaede, don't disturb them! You are walking on different paths.
The one on top!"
"Hi!"
...
Here, Naoki Nagayama returned home and was immediately questioned by his mother and Tsuruko.
"What did my grandfather look like?"
"...Tsuruko, there are photos in father's drawer..." Nagayama Naoki was speechless. His parents clearly introduced them to them in a photo album when they were young.
"What, of course I know!" Tsuruko said sternly, "I want to know what changes are happening now!"
"My hair is a little grayer and my wrinkles are a little more wrinkled." What else can change? It's just that people get older.
"Humph, that's not it!"
"Tsuruko, you want to know if your grandfather is very vicious and scary, right?"
"Yeah!" Tsuruko nodded rapidly up and down his head.
Nagayama Naoki was helpless: "As far as I'm concerned, he's quite amiable. Although Brother Feng next to him has always been very serious and didn't even say a word."
Mother Nanako asked: "Have you given the gift?"
"Hi, I've collected it."
"That's good. I haven't seen you for many years, so I just called to say hello. It's indeed a bit rude."
Tsuruko had another question: "Have you ever seen a large group of juniors, Ni-chan, bowing collectively and saying boss or something?"
"It's not a gang gathering, how could there be so many people..." Naoki Nagayama thought about it, "The members of the organization should usually gather in other places."
The uncle Yongshan Xiongyuan, who has been missing for a long time, should be with his younger brothers.
"Hey, isn't that no different from ordinary old people?"
“The courtyard where we live is really antique, very much like the former wealthy landlords.”
"That's it~"
Mother Nanako said: "After all, it is an organization that has been passed down for many generations. That mansion was indeed built by the nobles of Shimizu in the past."
"Ha~ He is indeed a person with history~"
While chatting, the three of them talked about the preparations for skiing in Hokkaido. Naoki Nagayama had booked the hotel, venue, etc., so her mother and Tsuruko began to plan what they would bring there.
Thick clothes are essential, and a change of clothes, toiletries, and commonly used medicines before going out must be prepared in this era.
Just like Nagayama Naoki's self-driving trip in the summer, he only brought money... Actually, it's okay...
For dinner today, my father and eldest brother came back for the rare occasion.
"We will close early for the first three days, and the sign has been put up." The eldest brother said, "Let's prepare for the New Year in the next few days."
Then he and his father looked at Naoki Nagayama: "Has Naoki seen your grandfather today?"
Why do you have to ask again...
Naoki Nagayama had to explain once again the process of going to see his grandfather in the afternoon.
.......
The time before the Chinese New Year passed faster after having a father and elder brother.
While the strong labor force was available, I also renovated one side of my old house from top to bottom. All the leaking tiles and aging wooden boards were replaced with new ones, and then I cleaned it inside and out.
The yard has also been cleaned up, and now it looks like the ground that an old farmer has just plowed.
A kadomatsu symbolizing auspiciousness was placed at the door, and a rope to ward off evil spirits was hung on the door. Tsuruko had already placed strange and cute trinkets at home.
The last day of the New Year has arrived in such an atmosphere.
This year there is no need to cook cold food for three days, so my parents are very relaxed.
In the evening, the whole family sat together in the living room waiting to watch this year’s Red and White Song Festival.
"Ah, the New Year's gift should be ready by this time." Naoki Nagayama said, "Tsuruko, I'm going to get the gift. You should also prepare the gift quickly!"
After saying that, he walked upstairs and returned to his room.
When Naoki came downstairs, Tsuruko and his eldest brother were already seated, and it seemed that the gifts had been placed in the living room.
"First of all, father, this is the tea cup and draining tea table for father."
Nagayama Naoki took out a gift box, and his father happily took it.
"This is Big Brother's three-piece suit~"
Aoki saw the exquisite three-piece fishing set and said happily: "Now we can make a set~"
Then Nagayama Naoki took out two small boxes: "This is mother's, and this is Tsuruko's~"
"Ah, it's a necklace!" Hezi opened it and saw the exquisite silver necklace, and couldn't wait to put it on.
Then he saw his mother's necklace again, "Ogasang, let me put it on for you~"
The gold necklace was very luxurious, and my mother repeatedly said: "This is too luxurious..."
Seeing that everyone was very satisfied with their gifts, Nagayama Naoki cleared his throat at Tsuruko, meaning it's your turn.
As a student, Tsuruko certainly couldn't buy any expensive gifts, so she knitted complicated colorful silk bracelets for the whole family.
"This bracelet can ward off evil spirits!" Hezi said confidently, "I went to the temple to ask for stones to ward off evil spirits!"
The eldest brother made a shell wind chime. The collection and polishing of colorful shells showed that he put a lot of thought into it.
Although the gift is not expensive, it is thoughtful.
The mother knitted a scarf for each of the children, which could be used when skiing.
The father is the simplest. He gives each of his children a "Nianyu" envelope, which is Japanese New Year's money, and it contains brand new money.
After everyone exchanged gifts, they sat down and watched TV again.
My father actually started using the gift from Nagayama Naoki and performed a tea ceremony for everyone, which looked very impressive...
After the lively Red and White Song Concert,
The New Year's bell has arrived as scheduled,
One hundred and eight voices, farewell to troubles and congratulations on new life,
This is Naoki Nagayama’s second New Year in Showa~
