254. Returning home in the New Year
Chiyo Iwahashi looked at Akina Nakamori on TV and said: "This song doesn't sound like a taste in people's hearts, how can you sing it like this at a young age." ”
"yes. Iwahashi Shinichi echoed. I thought, I'm afraid it's because I've experienced a lot.
However, his father, Iwahashi Masaki, made another remark, "Although Kondo's reaction just now was not decent, it can be said that there was a reason for the incident. In any case, women should not embarrass men. ”
Only Shinichi Iwahashi knows why Masahiko Kondo had such a reaction when Akina Nakamori won the award, and for ordinary audiences, either they think that Masahiko Kondo is not a good person, or like Masaki Iwahashi, they associate this matter with Masahiko Kondo's disgust with the song.
The emotional crisis of Akina Nakamori and Masahiko Kondo is well known, but even so, Akina Nakamori released "Hard to Break the Boat", and in the eyes of some old-school people, they still think that she sang this song and swept away Kondo Masahiko's face.
In a married couple, if the husband cheats, the wife's correct way to deal with it is to calm the matter, and if she chooses to make a big fuss, she will be blamed in turn.
The husband's cheating made a lot of noise, but he still calmly coped with it, and even gently greeted the reporters who came to chase and intercept them, saying to them, "I'm causing you trouble", and finally the wife who calmed down was praised.
However, the wife who made the matter so generous that her husband's name appeared on the weekly headlines every week was obviously a victim and would end up being accused of being ignorant and unruly because she had made her husband lose face.
It's a strange idea, but it's subtle about the current state of society.
Similarly, this is also the root of why in the relationship between Akina Nakamori and Masahiko Kondo, Akina Nakamori swallowed her anger. The whole social atmosphere is like this, even Topstar was born and raised in such an environment.
To be honest, it was no surprise that she could choose to listen to him and stand on the front line with the firm and insist on attending the awards, even if Masahiko Kondo in the audience had a stinky face like an accident.
It may seem like a modest step, but it's actually a very big step.
The first step has always been the most difficult, but as long as you can take the first step, the road ahead will become more and more open.
Iwahashi Shinichi was noncommittal about the cheap dad's statement, but it was the cheap mom Iwahashi Chiyo, who glanced at her husband and pushed back his words in a plain tone:
"No, it's because the man embarrassed the woman first, so he put himself in an embarrassing situation. ”
Iwahashi Masaki didn't feel displeased by his wife's counterattack, he just pouted and didn't say anything. Iwahashi Shinichi looked at his father's face, and silently made up his mental activity in his heart: You are embarrassing me now.
This home in Shizuoka is so plain, the husband and wife, even when they disagree, they don't quarrel, but choose to shut up.
On the TV, it ended with Akina Nakamori's passionate singing, and this year's record awards came to an end. Chiyo Iwahashi picked up the remote control and tuned the station to NHK's Red and White Song Club.
While watching, I complained, "When will these two shows be staggered?"
Iwahashi replied: "The Red and White Song Club can't back down, it's better to expect TBS to change its mind." ”
These words are cold, although the heating in the house is sufficient, it still makes Iwahashi Shinichi feel like a "frozen person". But Iwahashi Chiyo nodded thoughtfully, "That's right." ”
......
This afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi traveled back to Shizuoka from Tokyo with a light suite.
Although the train home was on the downward line, it was probably the last day of the year, and it was still crowded, and it took him a lot of effort to get on the train.
This was the first time he had returned to Shizuoka's hometown for the New Year since he became Shinichi Iwahashi.
Therefore, on the way back, it was inevitable that he thought a lot. About the past life, about the present life, about how to meet the parents in this life, how to get along, and even imagined the situation when they met.
I thought about it for a while, until I realized that it was a kind of nervousness that I didn't realize, and I couldn't help but laugh.
In the crowded carriage, no one cares about the unexplained smile of an inconsequential strange traveler.
Psychological construction has been done so much, and when he really comes out of the station, Iwahashi Shinichi walks in the direction of home with his memory. Climb up a long ramp and turn a corner, the Western-style single-family house is the Iwahashi family.
Construction of this house began in the year when Shinichi Iwahashi was born, and his father, Iwahashi, loved Western-style architecture, and when the family lived in the dormitory of Suzuki Research Institute, he imagined that he would build such a Western-style house when he built a house in the future.
Standing outside, just looking at the appearance of the house, people can't help but wonder, this is really my own house, but the atmosphere created by the pine branches nailed outside for the New Year is extremely affirmatively "yes".
......
On the way here, I was worried that I didn't know how to meet Shizuoka's parents, but when I actually got home, everything was so smooth that I felt like I was being flashed.
Both parents are the kind of people who have introverted personalities, and the whole house is organized and organized, so that after staying for a short time, it makes Iwahashi Shinichi feel a little boring.
This family is like a well-tuned machine, unless the program goes wrong, it will keep running at this pace, and you can't imagine any waves.
Iwahashi Asako and Iwahashi Shinichi left home one after another, and rarely returned since, and the couple spent Chinese New Year's Eve together for the past two years. Such a relationship is not uncommon in this book.
When the children grow up and leave home, the parents lose some of the children they have.
My sister Asako Iwahashi didn't come back today, and I heard Chiyo say that she was going to wait until the third day and come back with her boyfriend.
Iwahashi Shinichi was going to Morijin's house on the morning of the 4th to pay New Year's greetings, and he was scheduled to leave in the evening of the third day, barely passing by.
"What kind of person is my sister's object to?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked his mother.
Chiyo Iwahashi watched TV, "I heard Asako say that she was a classmate from college, and the two used to participate in the same club, and after graduating from college, they went to work at Dentsu." Half a year ago, Asako met him again because of business, dated a few times, and decided to get married. ”
"By the way, it was Narita-san who took the initiative. ”
Chiyo Iwahashi deliberately added this sentence, revealing a hint of nonsense. But she also felt that she didn't think it was surprising that her daughter suddenly announced that she had a marriage partner.
"To be honest, I don't really like Dentsu MAN. Iwahashi interrupted.
