Chapter 1212 1221, Some people work to experience life~

After two weeks of promotion, Akina's new album "BLONDE" is finally on sale.

This flamboyant and free-style gorgeous dance music has fascinated many fans since its first appearance, especially the twisting figure of their idol on the stage wearing an Hermès silk scarf performance costume, which is like a seal engraved in their hearts.

Side A of the album is about a cool urban girl, while side B is about the abstinent "Puritan". Putting these two songs with completely opposite styles together seems to allow people to see the two different sides of a woman's heart, making the album more attractive.

So on the day the record was sold, the stock in the record store was sold out, and the request for restocking made Warner Pioneer very happy~

At the same time, news that Akina Nakamori will have a special album is also spreading among fans.

It is said that this time it is the theme song of a TV series!

At Fuji TV's headquarters, the promotion of "Long Vacation" has begun in an orderly manner.

First, he asked the hosts to occasionally bring up the topic of the TV series in the popular variety shows, then he showed a preview in his TV show, and then he even released a special advertising time to play the trailer of "Long Vacation".

Because Chikako Aoyama is slightly more famous, the main actor is Chikako Aoyama, but Masaharu Fukuyama's appearance is also revealed, and he has been nicknamed "creamy little fresh meat"

In other aspects, the fact that Akina Nakamori sang the theme song was naturally promoted as a gimmick~

The first broadcast will be on the second Saturday night in May during prime time!

Shuyou's fame in the monthly drama will be maintained by "Long Vacation" this time~

In the mountain cherry garden.

Akina Nakamori turned down a promotional event today and stayed at home on purpose because Naoki Nagayama's parents are coming to Tokyo today. They had previously scheduled a comprehensive physical examination in May. Akina's mother's rectal cancer is very scary.

"Hana-chan, grandpa and grandma are coming over soon."

Mingcai held Xiao Xiahua and tapped her nose.

"When the time comes, you should call them uncles and uncles."

"Ahhhh mom."

Xiao Xiahua thought that her mother was playing with her, and she laughed happily, mumbling some unclear words.

"Ojisan, Obasan"

Besides calling mom and dad clearly, she can also say words like "eat" and "poop". She even calls Yingtaro "woof woof" quite often. However, it is still a bit difficult for her to call grandpa and grandma.

And at her current age, she hasn't seen her grandparents for a few months, and it's not certain whether she can recognize them.

The driver went to the station to pick up the two elderly people, so Akina is now waiting at home with the baby, chatting with Nonaka Mari from time to time about daily trivial matters, such as whether the guest room is ready, and other bathroom items.

This time, Ken Nagayama and Nanako Nagayama are coming to Tokyo and will stay for a few more days to visit the lively Kanda Festival before leaving.

During this conversation, a car slowly drove into the iron gate of Yamazakurain.

The first to react was Yingtaro, who was lying next to him. He seemed to have heard a familiar voice and ran over.

Then I heard a scream from the parking garage, followed by laughter~

When Akina Nakamori came to the door with Xiao Xiahua in her arms, she saw Yingtaro lying on the ground, crying and acting coquettishly to Nanako Nagayama, with his short and thick tail flapping on the ground non-stop, and he was extremely enthusiastic. Nanako Nagayama also smiled and touched the dog's head, saying happily:

"Hello, Taro. Do you miss grandma?"

Yongshan Jian next to him was carrying a small suitcase and looking at this scene with a gentle face~

"Odu-san, Ogasan, is the journey smooth?"

Mingcai came up to say hello, while Xiao Xiahua in her arms grabbed her mother's collar and looked at the two people outside with some curiosity.

“It was very smooth and the ride was not crowded”

Father-in-law Nagayama Ken just nodded and answered briefly, and after Nagayama Nanako calmed the dog, she looked at her daughter-in-law and the little granddaughter in her arms.

"There's no need to pick us up in the first place. We could have just come over here. Hua-chan has grown up again~"

"Hana-chan, come here and call me Obasan Ojisan."

Mingcai encouraged her daughter in her arms, but this time, the little girl was shy and buried her head in her mother's neck.

"Ah, I would have said that before~" Akina said to her parents-in-law with a smile, "It seems like you are shy~"

"This is what it's like when you're so young and haven't seen each other for a month."

Nanako Nagayama has raised three children and a grandson, so she is naturally very experienced with children.

After approaching Xiao Xiahua, he gently held her hand and shook it, which made Xiao Xiahua feel familiar with her long-lost grandmother.

"Why are you standing at the door?"

Mingcai suddenly realized that her parents-in-law had come and had been standing at the door for so long.

"Come in quickly."

She quickly brought her parents-in-law to the living room and sat them down. The nanny, Mari Nozaka, made some tea and then left, leaving the space for the family.

Nanako Nagayama opened her suitcase and took out some dried seafood:

"These are what Aoki caught from the sea. They can be used to make soup."

Looking at the dried scallops, shrimps, abalone, sea cucumbers, etc. sealed in vacuum bags, Mingcai was surprised:

"Brother Aoki, can you even catch shell abalone?!"

"Hahaha, of course not~" Nagayama Nanako said with a smile, "In his free time now, he goes fishing on the fishing boats. By the way, he buys the freshest ones from the fishing boats."

"I see."

Akina sighed that Brother Aoki's fishing career has reached a new level!

"Is Little Wild Grass in kindergarten now?"

"Well, I'm getting older now. I'm no longer as quiet as I was when I was little and I run around everywhere."

“That’s what boys are like”

"Fortunately, both Xiahua and Sayuri are girls."

Akina and her mother-in-law were happily chatting about daily life, and before they knew it, Xiao Xiahua ran into the arms of Nagayama Nanako. There was no resistance at all, and she was so happy that she even laughed.

Nagayama Ken, who was standing next to him, occasionally took a sip of tea, and secretly stroked the head of the dog lying next to him with his other hand. He also liked Yingtaro very much~

"Naoki-san is busy filming "Departures" and can't get away. So he won't be back until the evening."

Having taken too many days off before, Naoki Nagayama now feels embarrassed to tell the crew that he’s taking a day off. Besides, the filming of “Departures” is at a busy stage, so it’s not convenient for him to leave.

"Ah, the tape."

Nanako Nagayama smiled and waved her hand, then lowered her head and gently touched Xiao Xiahua's cheek.

"It's OK to have our little Xiahua to welcome us, right?!"

Xiao Xiahua heard this and immediately started laughing.

"Tsuruko will also come in the evening. Naoki-san has already informed her."

Akina added, after all, as the only daughter of her parents-in-law, since she has come to Tokyo, she naturally has to see Nagayama Tsuruko~

"it is good"

Neither Ken Nagayama nor Nanako Nagayama raised any opinions, as the second son had already considered everything very comprehensively.

At Owada's home in Setagaya, Masako Owada is reading a thick proposal - "Proposal for the Protection of Labor Rights in the Film Industry."

This is a proposal that has recently been promoted by Shuichi Ido, chairman of the Tokyo Film Industry Association. As a frequent participant in the gatherings, Masako Owada has also become interested in the proposal.

"Masako."

Masako Owada's father, Hisashi Owada, walked into the study.

"What are you looking at?"

“It’s a recent proposal.”

Owada Masako had no intention of hiding it and directly handed the "Proposal" to her father.

"This is a proposal that President Ido Shuichi of the Tokyo Film Industry Association is lobbying for."

“A proposal from an industry group?”

Owada Tsune said casually,

"Unless it's a financial group like the Keidanren, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, or the Kaisha, the chances of a proposal being passed are generally slim."

Japan's economic groups are generally divided into comprehensive economic groups and professional economic groups. Simply put, one covers multiple industries, and the other is a single industry. The influence of comprehensive groups is more powerful.

"Yes, so President Yitang recently invited celebrities from all walks of life to lobby."

Owada Masako said to her father,

"Because it concerns the basic rights and welfare of film industry practitioners, many people have expressed their support!"

"Who wouldn't say it?"

As an old employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Owada Tsune is used to seeing people say one thing and mean another in diplomatic occasions.

“It mainly depends on who is leading the proposal and how many people are affiliated with it.”

The bills accepted by the Neon Congress are generally divided into two categories, one is proposed by the cabinet government agencies, and the other is proposed by members of parliament. A member of parliament's proposal usually needs to be supported by more than a dozen members before it is sent to the Speaker, and then sent to the Standing Committee for deliberation.

"It seems that Shuyou has no party to support among the members of the House of Representatives, right?"

“I heard that the proposal was made through the Minister of Culture.”

"Huh? A government proposal?"

Owada Tsune was even more surprised. Under such circumstances, they still wanted to pass the proposal?!

"Isn't this too fantastical?!"

As expected, the tree friends still don’t understand politics! They don’t understand Japan’s deeply rooted legislative system!

Owada Masako is very confident in the tree friends:

"President Yitang doesn't seem reckless and seems very confident."

“Even if enough members of parliament have seconded the motion before June this year and submitted it to the speaker, the subsequent deliberation and voting will require someone with great influence to coordinate.”

Owada Hisashi shook his head. Without the support of political parties, the issue would easily be stuck for a year or two and eventually come to nothing.

“How can you not support this proposal to protect the rights of workers in the industry?”

Masako Owada, who had studied abroad, was greatly influenced by the ideas of democracy and civil rights. You should know that such a proposal abroad would definitely be popular in the white left camp, and countless congressmen would rush to second it to show their support for democracy and freedom.

"This proposal involves labor law, the film and cultural industries. In your opinion, should it be handled by the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, or the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology?"

Owada Tsune said with a smile, placing the proposal on the table.

“This is just one of the reasons why politics is not that simple.”

After hearing her father's explanation, Masako also became a little skeptical. But seeing how Idou Shuichi talked freely at the social banquet, he didn't seem to be completely ignorant of politics, did he?!

So how did the Tokyo Film Industry Association propose this proposal to convince the parliament? ! Could it be that Naoki Nagayama has a personal relationship with the Minister of Culture? !

More importantly, Owada Masako wanted to contribute to the proposal. With this qualification of supporting human rights, she will be welcomed in the upper class of Europe and America as a diplomat in the future.

In the evening, Naoki Nagayama returned to Yamazakurain.

Because his parents came today, he finished the filming a little earlier and rushed back to Yamazakurain to have dinner with them.

"I'm back."

As soon as I walked into the door, I heard Yingtaro running towards me with a sob. He didn't come to welcome me, but hid behind me.

Then I saw Hezi bending down to hold Xiao Xiahua's armpits, half pushing and half hugging her and running over with a smile:

"Yingtaro, you can't run away today! Just surrender to Aunt Tsuruko and Huajiang!"

Xiao Xiahua waved her arms and smiled happily, her little feet gliding across the ground from time to time, giving her the feeling of having iron legs floating on the water. Under the guidance of her strange aunt, she is developing into a little witch!

".Hezi, how old are you now?"

Naoki Nagayama reached out and picked up his daughter, rubbing her affectionately, making Xiao Xiahua laugh again.

"You actually brought Hana-chan along to bully Hibiki Taro."

"No way!" Tsuruko argued with her hands on her hips, "We were just playing with Hitaro."

Looking at the dog cowering behind his legs, Naoki Naoyama sighed, "Oh, Oh, you are not as smart as Meow Taro. Didn't you see that he has already climbed up the cherry tree? !

"Woof woof woof! (I can't climb trees!)"

The white dog retorted pitifully twice, but it didn't attract any attention.

But in the end the dog was saved:

"Hezi!"

A call came from the kitchen.

"Come and help serve the food!"

".Hi~~~"

Hezi then walked towards the study room somewhat unwillingly.

Naoki Nagayama walked into the living room with his daughter and saw his father watching TV on the sofa, so he shouted:

"Father, I'm back"

"Ah," Nagayama Ken replied somewhat uncomfortably, "Welcome back."

Normally, it was Nanako Nagayama who welcomed him back home so much, but at this moment, Ken Nagayama felt that the head of this family was his son Naoki Nagayama!

"Did you have a smooth journey here today?"

“It’s OK. Not too crowded.”

"Has the room been arranged?"

"Well, the bed sheets and quilt covers have been replaced with new ones."

"That's good. This time I'll stay at Yamazakurain for a few more days. Besides the physical examination, I can also take this opportunity to see the Kanda Festival."

"it is good"

"."

The conversation between the dull father and son is always awkward and after a few words, it seems like there is nothing else to say.

Naoki Nagayama could only tease the little Xiahua in his arms, which made the atmosphere a little more relaxed.

Fortunately, dinner was ready soon. With the dedicated efforts of the three ladies in the kitchen, a table full of sumptuous dinner had been served.

"Naoki-san is eating!"

"Dad, it's time to eat!"

"." Both wives were calling their husbands. Tsuruko rolled her eyes and called her niece, "Hana-chan, it's time to eat!"

Once everyone sat down at the table, the lively dinner began.

"Today's soup is very delicious," Naoki Nagayama took a sip of the seafood soup and exclaimed in praise.

"These are the fish your eldest brother caught when he was sea fishing," Nanako Nagayama said with a smile, "We have dried a lot of them at home."

"Ha, big brother, has your fishing skill become so good?"

Naoki Nagayama also laughed.

“It’s upgraded.”

"Following the fishing boats, I don't know why I fell in love with Shanghai fishing."

“Haha, everyone has their own hobbies.”

After talking about their hometown for a while, Nanako turned the topic to Tsuruko:

"Hezi, this is your last school year, right?"

“Hi, I’m graduating next March.”

Hezi nodded. She had been in college for three years and was about to graduate.

"After graduation, will you get married first?"

Nagayama Nanako asked,

"Is your relationship with that Jintian Dalu going well?"

"." Hezi said shyly, "We are dating, but I don't want to get married right after graduation!"

"I'm still thinking about going into the workplace and building a career!"

According to the general career path of the Department of Literature at Waseda University, Tsuruko should have worked as an editor in the media or as a clerk. However, with Nagayama Naoki's connections in the entertainment industry, she can be a screenwriter for any company.

However, Hezi already owns more than a dozen chain milk tea shops, so she is already a wealthy woman!

"Hezi, you still want to work?!"

Naoki Nagayama said unexpectedly,

“Working part-time is hard!”

".It's just that I haven't tried it."

"."

It turns out that for some people, working is just to experience life. It is indeed a practice only for the daughters of rich families.

"So you plan to stay in Tokyo?"

"Hi"

Hezi nodded as a matter of course. If she could make a living in a big city, why would she want to go back to a small city?! How could life in the countryside be as exciting as that in a big city?!

"Ah~~"

Mother Nanako sighed, saying that children are grown up and cannot be controlled by others. Fortunately, there is still an eldest son in the family.

"Where are you going to live then?"

At this time, Naoki Naoyama said:

"Mother, Tsuruko can live in the apartment she lives in forever."

"It's OK to live in Yamazakura-in," Akina also said, "The house is big, but a little small."

The east side of Yamazakurain is basically not used, and there is no need to worry about any differences in living habits in such a large space. Even washing, cooking and cleaning are done by housekeeping staff, so sometimes rich families can really accommodate a whole family.

But Hezi didn't want it and quickly waved his hand:

"No, I'm grown up and need to be independent!"

"."

When Naoki Nagayama saw her expression, he suddenly realized that she just wanted to spend some time alone with her boyfriend!

"hehe."

"Bagani-chan, what are you laughing at?!"

".What's wrong with me? Can't I be happy?"

"It just doesn't work!"

"."

Mother Nanako watched the quarrel between the brother and sister.

"Okay, let's eat, the food is getting cold!"

".Hi~" X2

Father Nagayama Ken chewed his food silently, looking at the interaction at the table with a little comfort and some emotion.

This is how siblings quarreled when they were young, but when they reached puberty, they seemed to become awkward, especially Naoki, who seemed to have inherited his dull temperament, and the two quarreled less often.

Now it's back to normal~

After dinner, Hezi went back to the apartment. His parents went to sleep in the Yamazakura Courtyard. They also took Xiao Xiahua over and said they wanted to sleep together at night.

After a long time, the couple was left in the bedroom

"Akina."

Naoki Nagayama was lying on the bed after taking a bath. When he saw Akina was also done, he patted the side of the bed with his hands.

"Come here quickly"

"."

A blush suddenly appeared on Akina's pretty face.
