Chapter 136 135, Showa's Second New Year

Chapter 136 135, Showa's Second New Year~

Nagayama Feng sent Naoki out, "Brother Naoki, come visit me often in the future~"

"Okay, I'll treat Brother Feng to a drink when I'm free~"

With such politeness, he opened the door of the sports car parked nearby,

"Please stay~"

After getting in the car, Naoki Naoki finally breathed a sigh of relief, started the car, and slowly drove towards his hometown.

Feng Nagayama waited until the car was completely out of sight before returning to the main house.

Fanato Nagayama was resting with his eyes closed in the Japanese-style room. He opened his eyes after hearing the noise:

"Feng, what do you think of your cousin?"

Fanato Nagayama did not rush to answer. He thought about his cousin's performance for a while.

"He is a very talented young man."

"Oh? Talented?"

"It's our first meeting. He was polite and well-mannered. He was also very comfortable in the conversation with his grandfather." Feng Nagayama paused and continued, "He is also very capable of making money. He probably wasn't just being arrogant when he said he didn't need support."

Fanato Nagayama was curious: "Why do you say that?"

"He drives a high-end convertible sports car, a very fashionable one."

There was envy in Feng Nagayama's tone. Even if he was the grandson of a Yamaguchi-gumi cadre, he couldn't afford such an expensive car. The dividends he got were either used to win over his younger brothers or to make friends. There was not much left every month.

Nagayama Hayato can afford it at his level, but at this age, he prefers a more stylish car, not as flashy as the young people.

"Is that so? Hahaha, it seems that the Nagayama family has indeed produced a different person." Nagayama Hayato smiled, and then said to his grandson, "Feng, don't bother them! You are on different paths!"

"Hi!"

Nagayama Naoki returned home and was immediately questioned by his mother and Tsuruko,

"What does grandpa look like?"

". Tsuruko, there are photos in dad's drawer." Nagayama Naoki was speechless. Their parents had clearly introduced them to him in a photo album when they were young.

"What? Of course I know!" Tsuruko said stubbornly, "I want to know what has changed now!"

"The hair is a little grayer, and there are a few more wrinkles." What else can change? People get older.

"Humph, that's not it!"

"Tsuruko, you want to know if grandpa is fierce and scary, right?"

"Yeah!" Tsuruko nodded quickly up and down.

Naoki Nagayama was helpless: "From my own feeling, he is quite kind. Although the elder brother Feng next to him is always very serious and doesn't even say a word."

Mother Nanako asked: "Have you delivered the gift?"

"Hey, I've received it."

"That's good. We haven't seen each other for many years. It's a bit rude to just call and say hello."

Tsuruko asked again: "Has Ni-chan seen a large group of younger brothers bowing and saying boss or something?"

"It's not a gang meeting. How can there be so many people." Naoki Nagayama thought for a while, "The members of the organization should usually gather somewhere else."

The uncle Nagayama Kumahara, who has been missing for a long time, should be with the younger brothers.

"Hey, isn't that no different from an ordinary old man?"

"The courtyard they live in is antique, and it has the style of a former landlord."

"Is that so~"

Mother Nanako said: "After all, it is an organization that has been passed down for several generations. The mansion was indeed built by the nobles of Shimizu in the past."

"Ha~ It really has a history~"

As they chatted, the three of them talked about the preparations for skiing in Hokkaido. Since Naoki Nagayama had booked the hotel and venue, mother and Tsuruko began to plan what to bring.

Thick clothes are a must, and then there are spare clothes, toiletries, and common medicines for going out. In this era, everything must be prepared.

Just like Naoki Nagayama's self-driving tour in the summer, it's okay to just bring money.

For dinner today, my father and eldest brother came back, which was rare.

"Three days before the New Year, we will close early, and the sign has been hung." 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: "Naoki saw his grandfather today?"

Why do you have to ask again.

Naoki Nagayama had to explain the process of seeing his grandfather in the afternoon again.

The time before the New Year passed faster with the addition of his father and eldest brother.

While the strong laborers were all there, the old house was repaired from top to bottom, and the leaking tiles and aging wooden boards were all replaced with new ones, and then cleaned inside and out.

The yard was also cleaned up, and now it looks like the land that the old farmer had just turned over.

A kadomatsu tree, symbolizing good luck, was placed at the door, and a shimenawa rope, symbolizing evil spirits, was hung on the door. Tsuruko had already placed strange and cute little ornaments at home.

The last day of the New Year arrived in such an atmosphere.

This year, there was no need to prepare cold food for three days, so the father and mother also seemed very relaxed.

In the evening, the whole family nestled in the living room waiting to watch this year's Red and White Song Festival.

"Ah, New Year's gifts, it should be ready by now." Naoki Nagayama said, "Tsuruko, I'm going to get the gifts, you should also prepare the gifts quickly!"

After that, he went upstairs and returned to his room.

When Naoki went downstairs, Tsuruko and her elder brother were already sitting down. It seemed that the gifts had been placed in the living room.

"First, father, this is a teacup and a tea drainer for father."

Naoki Nagayama took out a gift box, and his father happily took it.

"This is the three-piece set for my eldest brother~"

Aoki saw the exquisite fishing three-piece set and said happily: "Now we can put it together~"

Then Naoki Nagayama took out two small boxes: "This is for mother, and this is for Tsuruko~"

"Ah, it's a necklace!" Tsuruko opened it and saw the exquisite silver necklace, and couldn't wait to put it on.

Then she saw her mother's necklace, "Oka-san, I'll help you put it on~"

The gold necklace was very noble, and her mother kept saying: "This is too luxurious!"

Seeing that everyone was very satisfied with their gifts, Naoki Nagayama cleared his throat at Tsuruko, meaning it was your turn.

As a student, Tsuruko could not afford expensive gifts. She made a complex bracelet with colorful silk threads for the whole family.

"This bracelet can ward off evil spirits!" Tsuruko 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 colorful shells were collected and polished, which showed that he had put a lot of thought into it.

Although the gift was not expensive, the thought was there.

The mother knitted a scarf for each of the children, which was just right for skiing.

The father was the simplest. He gave each of his children a "year jade", which is the Japanese lucky money, and it was filled with brand new money.

After everyone exchanged gifts, they sat down to watch TV again.

The father actually started to use the gift given by Naoki Nagayama and performed a tea ceremony for everyone. It looked very professional.

After the lively Red and White Song Festival,

the New Year's bell arrived as expected.

One hundred and eight bells, saying goodbye to troubles and congratulating the new life.

This is Naoki Nagayama's second New Year in Showa~
