Chapter 1132: With grandchildren, the son is dispensable!!

On the way from Tokyo to Shizuoka, it was covered by wind and snow.

It was better on the highway. There should have been snowplows cleaned up, and salt was sprinkled, so the snow didn't accumulate. The fields and mountains on both sides of the road were all white, and the snowflakes were about to cover the whole world.

"The vast white land is really clean..."

Naoki Nagayama sighed while driving slowly. This scene is a bit like the ending of "Dream of the Red Chamber"~

"What did Naoki-san just say?" Akina, sitting in the back seat, didn't seem to hear clearly.

"Ah... I said the snow is too heavy!"

"Yeah... There wasn't such heavy snow last year!"

Akina nodded, looking at Ye Zi in the safety seat next to her. This is her first winter in her life, and she is opening her eyes wide to look at the snowflakes dancing outside the window.

"If we arrive in Shizuoka, it will be noon, right?"

"No way, of course you have to drive slowly when it snows..."

Just like an ordinary couple, Naoki Nagayama took Akina back to Shizuoka to visit relatives... They have already formed a family, and now the two will not stay overnight in Shizuoka. The only ones who will live at home are Nagayama Hezi who has not yet married.

"Are we going to see grandfather in the afternoon, right?"

"Hmm... Grandfather's health seems to be worse~" Naoki Nagayama sighed, "Mother said he might not survive this winter..."

"Ah?"

Akina didn't know what to say for a while. She had only met Naoki Nagayama's grandfather a few times and didn't get along much. However, in her memory, he was a kind old man, completely different from the fierce feeling of a Yakuza boss in her impression.

"Injured in the early years, now he is old... Plus the Nagayama Group was dissolved..."

Naoki Nagayama explained the reason slightly. Generally, for old people of this age, as long as the breath in their hearts is scattered, life has reached the end.

"So this time I went back, let him see his great-granddaughter Ye Zi... Big Brother Feng will also bring Lily back..."

"Hmm..."

When people reach a certain age, it is inevitable to encounter the death of relatives. However, at only twenty-something, Akina had already experienced the death of her own grandfather, but didn't expect that her husband would have to experience it now.

The car fell into silence for a while, until the highway finally reached the coast, and the white world next to it turned into a blue sea...

"Arrived at the seaside!" Naoki Nagayama said, "Ye Zi is also seeing the sea for the first time, right?!"

"Yeah!"

Because she was not born long ago and was a celebrity family, Little Ye Zi didn't go out as freely as other babies. Most of the time, she stayed in Shanying Yuan, and naturally didn't see the sea.

At this time, the blue sea level outside the window made Ye Zi, who had just watched the snow, curious again, stretching her little hands towards the window, and from time to time turning her head to look at her mother, making babbling sounds, as if sharing this surprising discovery.

"Ye-chan... that's the sea~~ the big sea~" Akina approached Ye Zi, pointed outside and smiled, "Beautiful, right? When Ye Zi grows up, she can swim in it! Surf! Dive!"

"..."

The old father who was driving wanted to persuade her, don't play with water when you are a child, but he held back and didn't say it.

In the wind and snow flying all over the sky, this Toyota Century drove steadily towards the small city in Shizuoka, and finally, near noon, when the baby was drowsy, she saw the familiar seaside small city~

The car turned skillfully and stopped in front of a house with some history. This time, Ying Tailang was not brought, so there was no dog jumping out of the car and barking, but the movement of the car was still noticed by the people in the house.

Naoki Nagayama pulled the handbrake and opened the back door. Akina had already unbuckled the safety seat and hugged Ye Zi out.

And just at this time, the front door had already opened, and Nagayama Hezi rushed out first:

"Ah... Akina! You finally arrived!"

Nagayama Hezi ran to Akina's side, and the first thing she looked at was the little baby who was dressed thickly and lying on her mother's neck,

"Eh? What's wrong with Ye-chan?"

"She's been in the car for a long time, a little sleepy." Akina said, "She should be taking a nap at this time."

Mother Nanako, who also came out of the front door, heard it and hurriedly said:

"Then hurry in and sleep, the floor heating in the room has been turned on, and the crib has been installed!"

"Hai..."

Akina walked towards the house under the protection of the two, so determined that she didn't even look back!

At this time, Naoki Nagayama, who had just taken out the gifts from the trunk, saw the empty doorway and the closed door, full of helplessness... Where are the people? There is still such a big person who hasn't entered, didn't you see it?!

Sure enough, after having grandchildren, is the son just dispensable?

Naoki Nagayama shook his head and walked to the door, just about to push the door with the hand holding the gift bag, but the door opened by itself, and Nagayama Hezi's face was revealed!

Thinking that his sister could actually think of him, Naoki Nagayama felt a little comforted in his heart:

"Sure enough, Nagayama Hezi can think of having a brother..."

Unexpectedly, Nagayama Hezi just swept her eyes over her brother, and then looked at the gift bag in his hand:

"Ha... just said what was missing!!! Give it to me!"

Then, in the blink of an eye, she reached out and took the gift, and returned to the house without looking back... leaving only Naoki Nagayama standing alone outside the door, shivering in the cold wind... that was from anger!

For a moment, he didn't know that there was such a shameless person in the world!!!

Just at this time, mother Nanako's complaint came from the house:

"Why don't you close the door, the cold wind is coming in! What if Little Ye Zi catches a cold?!"

Naoki Nagayama was speechless, had to swallow the bitter fruit and walk into the house, not forgetting to close the door...

"... Hai..."

Walking into the Japanese-style room, the whole family was already surrounding the crib, looking at Little Ye Zi who was already asleep, all praising Little Ye Zi for growing fast and well... chubby and very good-looking...

Even the originally serious and wooden father had a kind smile on his face at this time~

It wasn't until a while later that mother Nanako reacted:

"Akina-chan, Naoki... you've worked hard all the way!"

"Daijobu!" Akina shook her head, "It was Naoki-san who was driving..."

"Hungry, right? Lunch has been heated up, let's get ready to eat!"

"I'll help..." Akina hurried to stand up and was about to go into the kitchen.

"No need, Akina-chan, rest for a while." Mother Nanako turned to look at Nagayama Hezi, who was unpacking gifts, "Nagayama Hezi, come and help me serve the dishes!"

"But I'm unpacking gifts!" Nagayama Hezi had already unpacked the last packaging and would soon be able to see the gift itself.

"Nagayama Hezi... hurry up, don't let me say it a second time during the New Year!!"

Although the tone sounded very gentle, Nagayama Hezi heard this sentence and hurriedly stood up and ran to the kitchen~

"... Hai~~"

Nagayama Hezi is still a student, and she has been back home for a long time during the winter vacation. The honeymoon period when mother and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time has passed!

Now it has almost reached the stage of disliking everything, so Nagayama Hezi dare not make her mother angry!

Naoki Nagayama and father Ken Nagayama set up the table and chairs, and father took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and asked:

"Naoki, have a drink?"

"No... I have to drive to see grandfather in the afternoon..."

"Ah... then forget it~"

The sumptuous New Year's meal was served. With the development of the times, it is not all cold food, and eating well is the kingly way.

The whole family chatted about things this year at the dining table...

"Your sister-in-law Xiangjia seems to be pregnant again..." The first big melon thrown out was this.

"Eh?!!!" Naoki Nagayama was surprised, "Ye Zi is not even one year old, and you are going to give birth to another one?"

"It's almost time..." Mother Nanako didn't feel there was anything wrong, "Ye Zi was born the year before last, and this baby is expected to be born at the end of this year, just two years apart..."

"..." Two babies in three years?

Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina on the side and saw that she was not surprised. Only then did he react. Akina's mother was also about this rhythm. People in this era seem to agree with such habits, and those who have conditions will have more children.

Mother Nanako looked at Naoki Nagayama and Akina and said:

"Naoki and Akina don't have to be so anxious. Wait until Ye Zi is a little older and you can have another younger brother or sister... This way you can have another playmate in the future!"

"Hmm, wait until Ye Zi is a little older~"

Because there is already a child, Akina was not shy when talking about this,

"Naoki-san and I plan to have three! Same as mother-in-law's family..."

"Not bad, not bad... Three is very good!" Mother Nanako responded with a smile, and then looked at Nagayama Hezi, who had eaten a few mouthfuls and was ready to unpack the gift box again, "Nagayama Hezi... you should have three in the future too!"

"... I... I haven't married yet! I won't give birth!"

Nagayama Hezi didn't expect the firepower to turn to her all of a sudden, so she hurriedly changed the subject, holding up the object taken from the box and asked,

"Nii-chan, what is this?"

"This is the latest mobile phone!" Naoki Nagayama looked at the mobile phone in Nagayama Hezi's hand and sighed.

It's already '87. Motorola finally released a new generation of mobile phones. Although it can't reach the volume that can be directly put into the pocket of clothes, it is much smaller than the previous big brother, at least it doesn't look like holding a small barbell when picked up.

"The latest mobile phone?" Nagayama Hezi looked at the mobile phone happily, wanting to make a call home excitedly.

Then she was stopped by her mother on the spot!

"Help clean up after eating!"

"Can't do anything all day long, what will you do when you go to your husband's family in the future?!"

"..."

"Alright mother-in-law... Nagayama Hezi is still very diligent~" Akina smiled and helped, "I'll help you clean up!"

Three women make a play. Naoki Nagayama and father Ken Nagayama looked at each other and drank tea silently.

"Naoki, you are going to see your grandfather in the afternoon, right?" Ken Nagayama asked, "When are you going?"

"Wait until Ye Zi wakes up..."

"Hmm~"

Ken Nagayama sighed. He was very afraid of his father Hayato Nagayama, and he couldn't recover even in middle age.

Before, when the Nagayama Group was still there, they only made phone calls. In recent years, the two families have been closer, and they only visit on holidays, and they will leave within an hour.

"Go with your big brother later, Ye Zi will also go..."

"Hai~"

"How is your career recently?"

"Very good... The movie is released, and the box office is very good."

"That's good..."

"..."

It seems that the conversation between traditional fathers and sons is always straightforward. That kind of harmonious father-son relationship generally requires the father to have received higher education and be very enlightened.

Perhaps Naoki Nagayama's generation will be a little different.

Around two o'clock, Ye Zi, who had slept for a while, finally woke up. Because she woke up in an unfamiliar place, she cried for a while.

Fortunately, Mom and Dad were both there, and after coaxing a little, she stopped, shrinking in Akina's arms and secretly looking at the unfamiliar grandparents.

"What's wrong... don't you even recognize your aunt?"

Nagayama Hezi refused to admit defeat and wanted to lean in front of Ye Zi,

"I hugged you a while ago!"

"Children don't have much memory~" Mother Nanako Nagayama smiled, "She can recognize people at about one year old, and it is estimated that she will slowly be able to remember things after three years old."

"Eee~~ That's two more years!"

"She can call aunt next year!" Akina said.

Just when everyone was teasing the baby, there was the sound of a car outside the door again, and mother Nanako hurried out.

Not long after, only to see Big Brother Aoki Nagayama coming over with his wife and little Ye Zi.

"Big Brother... Xiangjia-jie~" Naoki Nagayama greeted, and then looked at Ye Zi Nagayama, who was more than two years old and could already walk, "Ye Zi... do you still recognize me?"

"..."

Ye Zi can speak, but she will also be shy when facing strangers.

"Call Uncle Naoki... and Aunt Akina..." Sister-in-law Xiangjia squatted down and taught, "Don't you remember the toys at home before? They were all sent by Uncle Naoki!"

"..."

Still not speaking... and ran behind father Aoki Nagayama's legs.

"It will be fine after staying for a while~" Big Brother Aoki smiled, "Clearly she is very bold near home usually..."

"Haha, children~"

Akina squatted down with a smile and introduced Ye Zi to Ye Zi in her arms,

"This is your cousin... Ye Zi Nagayama..."

Perhaps it was because she looked kind, Ye Zi walked over slowly, curiously looking at the little cousin who was also hiding in her mother's arms.

At this time, the women began to organize the souvenirs to be taken to grandfather's house. Naoki Nagayama and Big Brother Aoki chatted for a while, saying that they could play together when they were a little older, perhaps they would become familiar with each other.

"Big Brother, how is the business of the izakaya now?"

"Of course good..." Big Brother Aoki said, "By the way, the second season of "Midnight Diner", someone told me it's about to start filming? Isn't it you, Naoki?"

"Ah... yes... it's a sequel, it's all handed over to newcomers." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "I've read the script, there's no problem... Big Brother just follow the habits of filming before~"

"Hmm..."

In "Midnight Diner", the shop owner played by Big Brother Aoki is silent, but there is no problem. It can not only make the izakaya famous but also subsidize the family, and even the cost of endorsing advertisements can make the small family rich.

"There don't seem to be any mountains for sale nearby recently..."

Listening to Naoki Nagayama's words, Big Brother Aoki also bought a lot of land near Shizuoka,

"Uncle is also buying land..."

"Ah... he is going to build a lumber mill... After all, the Nagayama Group was dissolved." Naoki Nagayama said, "It's okay, buying in Kanagawa is the same..."

Big Brother Aoki is not a very flexible person, and he doesn't have much ambition. It will be more stable to be a landlord in the future.

In addition to preparing the industry of the milk tea shop for his sister Nagayama Hezi Nagayama, Naoki Nagayama is also helping his parents manage their finances, mortgaging the house in Bunkyo Ward again, and purchasing some good locations in the coastal area, preparing to sell them in a few years.

After his parents pass away, the wealth inherited by his big brother will be enough to become a good landlord.

"Naoki, Aoki... everything is ready."

Mother Nanako called twice, and the whole family was ready to go to grandfather's house in Shimizu to pay New Year's greetings.
