068, bullying children also has to pay attention to routines!
I saw that several people had admitted their mistakes, and none of them acted like naughty children.
Nagayama Naoki stopped keeping a straight face and asked in a calm tone:
"Do you understand the mistake? Where is the mistake? You are the leader, tell me!"
I directly clicked Akita Shi’s name.
"This shouldn't be a prank...you can't peek at other people's doors..."
It seems that he still doesn't understand the real reason,
Naoki Nagayama clicked again on the one who looked the most bully, Harakami Eda,
"What do you think? What's wrong?"
"Hey, you can't use water balloons, they will get other people's doors wet..."
Seeing the confused expressions on several people's faces, Nagayama Naoki shook his head,
"You guys...the elderly people in this household look like they are 80 or 90 years old.
People of this age cannot tolerate accidents. If your prank scares him or he accidentally falls,
It is likely to lead to very serious consequences, and in the worst case, you may die!"
"Death?" The three primary school students were obviously not touched. For them, this word seemed too far away.
Nagayama Naoki doesn't have much to say, he will understand it gradually in the future.
But when I see these people, I think of yesterday's novel "The Garden of Summer". Isn't this destiny?
Then try following the book, and the result won't be a big deal anyway.
"You guys, it's okay if you don't want me to go to your homes."
"Todoroki?" "You're not lying, right?" "That's good~"
"But you have to apologize well and get the elder's forgiveness! Otherwise, I will still tell your parents!"
"Eh......"
"What are you waiting for? Go knock on the door and admit your mistake!"
Watching a few people ringing the doorbell slowly, Nagayama Naoki not far away was thinking a little divergently. Could this be considered as stroking the thread of fate?
When the door opened, the old man also had a bad temper:
"It's you guys again! Are you disturbing my nap again?! Do you really want me to show you a good look?" He said and was about to get a broom...
"We are here to apologize!"
"Huh? Apologize?"
Then the three of them chattered and explained what happened. It took the old man a long time to figure it out:
"You guys actually want to put water balloons on my door?"
"Private Marseille, we were wrong, please forgive me!" x3, I didn't expect these little guys to have learned the traditional art of bowing and apologizing since they were young!
However, the old man didn't seem to appreciate it: "You're already playing a prank, and you want me to forgive you just for talking about it? Impossible!"
The three of them seemed to have never encountered this kind of situation before, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
It was Akita who spoke first: "We can do whatever we want, but please forgive us!"
The old man seemed to be thinking about it. He looked around and said: "In this case, you can pull up the grass in my yard!"
"Eh...okay..."
Watching the three children starting to pull weeds, the old man looked back at Nagayama Naoki not far away and muttered:
"Nosy guy..."
...
Nagayama Naoki did not go back after throwing away the garbage. He saw several children already pulling weeds.
He went to a nearby canteen to replenish the refrigerator with some supplies.
I often buy things here, and the owner of the canteen is already very familiar with Yonghan Naoki.
While paying the bill, I asked:
"Boss, does the old man in the old house over there know?"
"Nagai Tadahiro, you come here often to buy wine, what's the matter?"
Generally, this kind of canteen that has been open for a long time is very familiar with the residents in the surrounding area. After all, they are all regular customers.
"Seeing that the yard is very messy and the house is very old, don't you have any children to help with the repairs?"
"I heard that my daughter was married far away, and this old man didn't have a very good temper, so he lived alone~"
"It's very dangerous to live alone at such an old age~"
"What can you do? Just take it one day at a time. If you really can't take care of yourself anymore, you can only go to a nursing home."
After chatting with the boss for a while, Naoki Nagayama returned home.
From the balcony, you can see three children weeding very seriously, while the old man is watching and saying a few words from time to time.
The yard is not big, so it took three people less than an hour to finish it.
Nagayama Naoki actually sat on the balcony and watched them for an hour...
It's really boring...
Seeing a few people finishing their work and about to leave, Naoki Nagayama thought for a while and decided not to bully the children too harshly.
He took out three bottles of Coke from the refrigerator, put them in a bag and walked downstairs.
After seeing a few people coming out of the door, I waved them over.
"Have you forgiven me, old man?"
"Hi, forgiveness has been obtained!"
Looking at the three faces that were red from the sun and dripping with sweat, Nagayama Naoki felt that the lesson they had received this time should be enough.
"Well, remember the lesson this time! I won't go to your parents anymore, and don't do this kind of prank again in the future."
Then he handed the bag to several people,
"Weeding is the condition for forgiveness, so let this be the reward for sweating!"
When they found the iced Coke in the bag, the three people's eyes instantly lit up.
"Arigado!" x3
Nagayama Naoki returned upstairs and saw several people walking and drinking Coke from the balcony, looking very happy.
Sure enough, children are irresistible to Coke, especially in the 1980s...
.......
Ever since he recalled "The Garden of Summer" yesterday, Naoki Nagayama felt an inexplicable sense of fate, which also prompted him to let the three children and the old man meet.
But whether it will be like in the novel in the future, Nagayama Naoki doesn’t know, just let it happen.
Anyway, after doing this, even the shame of being a copywriter has been reduced a lot.
I feel relaxed all of a sudden~
Next, should we look for a publisher?
Shueisha? Kodansha? Shinchosha? Or ask an acquaintance?
Toolman Yoshimura Otomo is coming online again!
Naoki Nagayama directly dialed the number of the studio,
"Moses Moses, this is the Tree Friends Movie."
Due to the popularity of "Amazing World", Shuichi Itou often received calls from the production crew and other inquiries, so he simply used the studio phone number as the contact information for Shuyou Films.
And Yoshimura Otomo has been basically staying in the studio recently, or going to the TV station.
"Shuiichi-san, I am Naoki Nagayama. Is Otomo-san here?"
"What, it's Naoki-san, Otomo-san, Naoki-san is looking for you~" Itou Shuichi called out, and then asked, "How long are Naoki-san going to be lazy, let's give up on editing."
?"
"Haha, isn't Xiu Yisang checking this? I have absolute confidence in Xiu Yisang!" He complimented with a haha.
Nagayama Naoki has not dared to call Itou Shuichi recently because he is afraid of being rushed.
"Naoki-san, I'm here." Fortunately, Otomo Yoshimura answered the phone in time, "What do you want from me?"
"Hi, Otomo-san used to work in the magazine business. I'm calling to ask if he has any contacts in the publishing house."
"Of course someone knows about the publisher. Naoki-san wants to make a magazine?" Otomo Yoshimura thought Naoki Nagayama had some new plans for publicity, such as publishing a stand-alone magazine.
"No, actually I wrote a novel during this period and I plan to try to see if it can be published, so I wanted to ask first."
There was no intention of hiding it, Naoki Nagayama said it directly, and everyone would definitely know it in the future.
"Writing a novel? And publishing it?"
Yoshimura Otomo was once again surprised by Nagayama Naoki.
