Chapter 54: The convertible sports car at the door is Niichan's

Full of food and drink...

Uh, no alcohol...

After dinner, the 3 of them sat in the living room watching TV and chatting. After Mother Nanako unwrapped the gift, she was very happy looking at the bright and beautiful silk scarf. While tying it, she discussed with Tsuruko what clothes to match it with. Naoki Nagayama could only accompany them with a smile on the side.

Somehow, the topic suddenly turned to Naoki Nagayama.

"Why did Niichan suddenly think of coming home? It's not a holiday or anything?" Tsuruko, who was straightforward, asked whatever she thought.

Before, although Mother Nanako was also very concerned, she was afraid that her son had encountered something in Tokyo and was worried about hurting his self-esteem, so she had never asked.

"There's nothing special, just passing by my hometown on a self-driving tour, so I came back to see it by the way~"

Naoki Nagayama had never considered how others would think about suddenly returning to his hometown.

"Self-driving tour? Traveling?"

Tsuruko seemed to still not understand the concept of a self-driving tour. Indeed, this method is still relatively early.

"Hai, it's traveling by driving yourself. Generally, you arrange the route yourself, arrange the attractions, and go wherever you want..."

Naoki Nagayama was still promoting the benefits of self-driving tours when he found Tsuruko very excited.

"So, the convertible sports car at the door is Niichan's?"

"Uh, it's mine, that's right."

Because he had bought it for a while, Naoki Nagayama was a bit unaccustomed to others' surprise at his buying a car.

"Ah~~~ Mom! Do you know big brother bought a convertible sports car?" Tsuruko looked at her mother again.

"This, I really don't know..."

Naoki Nagayama was carrying things when he entered the door, and then it was cooking dinner, so his mother really didn't see it.

Then Tsuruko pulled her mother to the door to see the car.

The summer night came relatively late, and the sky outside was covered with red sunset clouds, and the whole town was shrouded in a faint halo of red.

This is called the "Oumagatoki" (the hour of the demon) in traditional Japanese culture.

At this time, if a person walks on the road, they will be lost and lose their soul.

Some families with strong traditional consciousness do not even allow children to go out to play at this time.

Naoki Nagayama felt that it was very likely that adults specially made it up to let children go home for dinner...

The black convertible was parked next to the Nakamori house, blending into the shadow of the house. If you don't look carefully, it is very likely to be ignored.

However, after getting closer, you can find the luxury in its low-key.

Opening the door, letting Tsuruko, who had been turning around with her mother, sit in,

watching her touch here and there in it with an ignorant look, Naoki Nagayama cooperatively raised and lowered the convertible top...

Nanako looked at the car from the side, but was a bit worried:

"Naoki, this car is very expensive, right... How long will it take to pay off the loan?"

"Mom, don't worry, big brother is a super rich person now."

Before Naoki Nagayama could answer, Tsuruko, who was still sitting in the car, poked her head out to explain.

"Hai, although it's not as exaggerated as Tsuruko said, I do have a little spare money now."

Naoki Nagayama tried his best to relax.

"Even if you say so... but such a car is too conspicuous."

For a housewife in a small town, such a luxury car is too exaggerated, and in her impression, only the leaders of Yakuza organizations like her father-in-law would show off and buy luxury cars.

"Don't worry, such a car is only a mid-range car in Tokyo, it's just that the appearance is relatively novel."

That is indeed the case. At most, it belongs to a mid-to-high-end sedan. At most, it is just uncommon.

Top-level sedans, in addition to money, also need tickets such as fame and even power to be bought.

After Tsuruko had enough fun, the 3 of them finally returned home.

Finally, they could watch TV and rest quietly~

Mother Nanako seemed to have suddenly thought of something: "Naoki, you are going back tomorrow, right? Do you want to prepare some bento?"

"Mother, no need." Naoki Nagayama continued,

"Tomorrow, I have to go to Nagoya along the coastline, and I will eat there at noon."

Tsuruko immediately became energetic: "Are you going south? Is the self-driving tour going south all the way?"

"Hmm, after arriving in Nagoya, I plan to go back, but it's into the mountains, passing through Nagano and then returning to Tokyo along Ogawa Town."

"Eh~~" Tsuruko blinked her big eyes. "Niichan, can you take me with you~"

Before Naoki Nagayama could answer, Nanako said: "What are you thinking! You still have to go to school!"

"At worst, I'll ask for leave~ Mother~"

"Acting like a spoiled child is useless. It hasn't been long since the spring break, and then there will be summer vacation! If you ask for leave at this time, do you still want your study for this year!"

Nanako, who entered the strict mother mode, was too scary...

"But..."

"No buts, you study hard for me! You can play by yourself when you go to work in the future, no one will care about you!"

Just like that, Tsuruko's thoughts were suppressed.

Looking at the pitiful Tsuruko, Naoki Nagayama had to make a promise that the whole family would go skiing in Hokkaido together in winter.

Most Japanese families are in the strict father and kind mother mode, but Naoki Nagayama's father happens to have a soft personality and is henpecked.

But maybe Kenji Nakamori also enjoys it~

After 10 o'clock in the evening, his father and brother also came back after a busy day. Naoki Nagayama greeted them and presented the gifts.

When chatting, Tsuruko naturally mentioned Naoki Nagayama's newly bought convertible sports car and the house in Tokyo.

"Naoki, you have become a real adult who can support yourself!" Aoki Nakamori said so.

After this younger brother went to Tokyo to break through for a year and a half, he already had the capital to settle down, which made the original eldest son both happy and a little lost. After all, he was still wandering in the family's izakaya, and he might not be able to afford a luxury car in his life...

"It's just the luck of the times." Naoki Nagayama had also considered whether to fund the family to open a shop or directly subsidize the family's expenses.

However, the family is actually not poor. In the 1980s, as long as you do things seriously, you can always get better step by step.

What's more, if you treat money as charity, wouldn't that be treating your family as beggars?

Throughout history, how many family and friendship relationships have been destroyed by money interests,

Especially when Naoki Nagayama's possibility of getting rich in the future is almost 100%, he must be more cautious about money relationships.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Pointing out ways for the family to make money, helping the family members get better, and the rise of the whole family is the way to maintain family affection for a long time.

With the insight of more than 30 years ahead, it is more than enough to help the family become ordinary rich people. The simplest thing is to buy a house at this time~

"Actually, the form of real estate rising in recent years is good. If Father and Big Brother have spare money, you can consider buying one." Naoki Nagayama said,

"I looked at the recent price of the house in Tokyo, and it has risen by almost 5%."

"Really?" Kenji Nakamori was a little surprised,

"However, the house of our family has indeed risen a lot compared to when it was just built, almost 1 time."

"Did the child's father go to ask about the house price?" Nanako seemed to ask casually.

"Hmm, I was curious before, so I went to ask." Kenji Nakamori didn't seem to notice anything.

"Do you want to sell the house?" Nanako's face was calm,

"Sell this house that we built with our own hands and lived in for more than 20 years?!"

"Uh? No, didn't Naoki just say it."

Kenji Nakamori then discovered that because this idea had never been discussed with his wife, it made her misunderstand that he wanted to sell the house.

The older generation has a deep plot about their first house, because it is possible that this is their residence for a lifetime.

Especially the house built with their own hands and lived in for decades is full of memories of major life events.

If one party suddenly asks about the house price without discussing it with the other, then the matter is not just about the house price!

"Father, Mother, we are going to rest first~" X3

The 3 children clearly noticed that there were some problems between the old couple that needed to be solved, so they hurriedly found an excuse to return to their rooms. ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
