In 2013, there was a TV series called "Naoki Hanzawa".

This TV series, known as "In the Name of the People", has created the highest single-episode ratings in the Heisei era in one fell swoop with the superb performances of veteran actors such as Masato Sakai and Teruyuki Kagawa, the excellent production of the movie, and the spiritual core of "Shimokagami". The phrase "a tooth for a tooth, double the dedication" has aroused widespread resonance among salarymen.

However, at the Drama Academy Awards, which is known as the "Oscar of Drama", this drama was comprehensively beaten, whether it was audience votes, reporter votes or censor votes, "Naoki Hanzawa" could only rank second.

The number one TV series is called "ama".

……

After coming to Jiuci, Lin Hai has always had a sense of déjà vu, and now he finally realizes where this feeling comes from, isn't this the filming location of "Sea Girl"!

Because of work, Lin Seafood has the opportunity to sit in front of the TV and eat early to watch the morning drama, a total of 156 episodes of TV series, and I have watched less than ten episodes of the TV series, so that until this moment, memory and reality are connected.

What reminded him of his mother's clothes.

Flying white pattern gown, the unique costume of the northern ama.

……

"What is ama?"

Kyoko Fukada is a child in the city who is curious about the word "ama".

The aunt next to her explained.

Most of the men in the Kitasanriku area are fishermen in the distant-water fishing industry, and they spend most of their time at home for just over 10 days a year. When the head of the family is away, it is the task of women to protect the family and make ends meet, and offshore salvage is their main job.

In the early days, ama mainly collected pearl oysters, but in modern times, due to the development of pearl farming, there are fewer and fewer ama engaged in shell collection, and now there are only a few thousand people left.

"Every year from the first of July until the end of summer, everyone goes into the water and changes into flying white gowns. ”

"Why? Traditional?"

"It's not wrong to say tradition. The aunt changed her words and said, "But the main reason is that the beach will be open on July 1st, and many tourists will come to see the northern ama ......."

"Tourist?"

Kyoko looked left and right, but there was no trace of tourists.

"She's talking about the old calendar. ”

Another aunt said, "Do you know how many tourists have come so far this year? ”

"Whew!"

Kyoko exclaimed in surprise, and inadvertently, she actually used the sleeve dialect.

"That's it. I went to the tourism association yesterday to see that after the opening of the sea this year, there has only been one tourist so far, and he is a university professor who has come to dig amber. ”

The aunt said and sighed: "Don't look at it now is summer, the water temperature during the day is only about fifteen degrees, there are no tourists, special products cannot be sold, and now only Qiuzi still insists on going into the water every day......"

"Is it a pearl?"

"It's a sea urchin. ”

Akiko Matsukawa, who walked up the steps to the breakwater, replied and walked up

Come and hand a sea urchin to Kyoko.

"Do you want to eat?"

She asked, and without waiting for Kyoko's answer, she directly cut the sea urchin with sea urchin scissors, handed it to Kyoko without saying anything, and said, "Eat!"

Kyoko obediently took the sea urchin, picked it with her fingers, and took a bite.

"How?" asked Akiko.

Kyoko felt the sensation of her taste buds exploding, and exclaimed with a smile in her eyes, "It's delicious!"

"Do you want another one?"

Akiko smiled and pulled out another sea urchin from the net pocket hanging from her waist.

……

"Ah, I can't eat ......"

Kyoko said, burping and touching her stomach with a satisfied expression.

"Wow! What a great boy, I ate eight in one go!"

"It is said that people who like sea urchins are the most greedy for cups, and this child will definitely drink a lot in the future!"

A group of aunts surrounded Kyoko and were amazed.

Akiko turned to Lin Hai and Hikaru Utada and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Light shook his head vigorously and looked at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai has been talking and moving like a wooden man since just now. Hikaru Utada was in a hurry, but he couldn't overstep his responsibilities yet, and those aunts called people up without saying the reason, they were obviously waiting to watch the show.

"If you don't eat, just give money. ”

Qiuzi stretched out his hand to Lin Hai: "Five thousand yen." ”

"Huh?!"

Kyoko, who was surrounded by her aunt, exclaimed, "Do you want money?"

"Of course. ”

Qiuzi replied as a matter of course, and turned to Lin Hai again: "One five hundred yen, eight four thousand yen, you are the child's boyfriend, don't hurry up and pay for it!"

An aunt next to her couldn't stand it anymore and reminded: "Qiuzi, he is your son." ”

When Akiko heard this, her body shook violently, she opened her mouth, and said something that surprised everyone-

"Three thousand yen. ”

……

Led by Akiko, everyone came to her home.

Lin Hai looked like he was in a state of mind all the way, and it wasn't until Akiko disappeared from his field of vision that his consciousness gradually returned to his body.

He surveyed the room.

It is a very simple traditional house, except for the TV set, which is new, and the other objects are very old, from the floor to the beams, the traces of time are everywhere.

Although it was summer, the whole room still gave people a cold and lonely feeling.

Is this my mother's home......

No one needed to say anything, Lin Hai knew that his mother was not doing well, which made him feel distressed and angry, and his hands on the ground clenched involuntarily.

"Are you alright?"

Kyoko asked Lin Hai worriedly.

Hikaru Utada pulled her aside and shook his head at her, there are some things that can only be faced by himself, and others can't help anything other than adding to the chaos.

"I've been waiting. ”

Akiko changed her clothes, came out of the back room, and said, "Let's have a sea urchin rice bowl for lunch, you guys wait a minute, I'll make another miso soup." ”

As she spoke, she walked over to the stove opposite the entrance and turned on the fire to boil the water.

"Mother Akiko, I'll help you. ”

Kyoko leaned in to help.

At this time, Lin Hai

Suddenly stood up.

"Don't make a mess. ”

Lin Hai pulled Kyoko away, stood next to Qiuzi, and said, "You just went into the water, take a rest." ”

Qiuzi hesitated for a moment and nodded, but did not walk away, but stood aside and watched Lin Hai busy.

……

"Delicious!"

Kyoko eats a bite of sea urchin rice and drinks a delicious soup, and her face is full of happiness.

It's really embarrassing for her, I've been eating when I came to Sleeve Bin, it's bean balls again, and sea urchins, and she can still eat at this time.

In normal times, Kyoko dared to eat Haisai like this, and Lin Hai had already taught her a lesson.

"Mother Akiko, did you make this sea urchin rice bowl?"

Kyoko asked, holding the carton box.

"yes, but it's just the rest of the morning, I'm sorry. ”

Lin Hai couldn't help but ask, "Do you usually have to go out to buy bento?"

"It's going to sell on the North Railway, easy. ”

Lin Hai thought about those people who sold specialties on the train, and felt that it was definitely not easy.

Again speechless.

Kyoko and Hikari make eye exchanges, ready to leave a private space for the mother and son.

Originally, she planned to run away quietly, but Kyoko tripped over a crusty book on the ground, and she looked down and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ahh

Everyone looked at her.

"Lin Jun, look!"

Kyoko picked up the open notebook and ran to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai took the notebook and was stunned for a moment.

The book is full of newspaper clippings, and the content is all related to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai slowly flipped through and found that the date was marked next to each newspaper clipping, and the "bad words" on it were blackened with a pen.

"What is this?"

Lin Hai looked at Akiko.

"I have nothing to do to tidy up. ”

After Akiko finished speaking, she was silent for a while, and then said: "I'm sorry, I haven't been able to see you since you came to Ben. ”

"No, that, you?"

Lin Hai felt that his brain was not enough.

"I also read it in the newspaper by accident. Akiko paused for a moment and said, "Maybe it's intuition, the first time I saw you, I knew you were mine-"

Akiko said this and stopped, as if "son" was a very difficult word for her.

Lin Hai was a little disappointed, and subconsciously used honorifics: "Sudden visit, will it cause you trouble?"

"No, not at all!" Akiko hurriedly said, "It's just, it's just ......"

"So-"

Lin Hai gritted his teeth and asked, "Can I call you Mom?"

Qiuzi's watch suddenly froze, tears came out of her eyes, and she jumped up and hugged Lin Hai.

"Of course, of course!"

"Mom. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Mom!"

"Uh-huh!"

……

After a while, the excitement of the mother and son eased somewhat.

"Mother Akiko, I almost forgot, I brought you a gift!"

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Kyoko patted her head as if she had just remembered, and took out a delicate one from her backpack

Gift box.

"Insignificant, please take it!"

"Ah, thank you, Kyoko-chan. Akiko took the gift and asked, "Can I open it?"

"Of course!"

Akiko untied the cardboard rope and opened the gift box, which contained a box of Shiseido hand cream.

Kyoko said shyly, "My mother said it was very easy to use, I hope you like it." ”

"I loved it, thank you. ”

Akiko said, hugging Kyoko and rubbing her head.

"That, that, Aunt Akiko, I also brought a gift!"

Hikaru Utada hurriedly said and brought over the large backpack, but he tripped and spilled out the contents of the bag.

This, this, this......

"You're robbing the supermarket?"

Lin Hai was stunned and looked at the "gifts" scattered all over the place - let's call it a gift. There are food, drink, supplies, kitchen utensils...... Yes, this bear kid actually brought a kitchen knife!

In other words, do normal people give knives when they give gifts? Also, what kind of food did the station security check do, she was actually taken on the train by her!

"That ......" Xiong Guang blushed in embarrassment: "I don't know what to give, so I bought ...... when I saw it."

It's really simple and crude.

The sad atmosphere in the room disappeared, and everyone looked like they couldn't laugh or cry.

Lin Hai explained to Akiko, "Hikki just came back from the United States and doesn't know much about the customs here. ”

"Am I doing something wrong?" Hikari asked, uneasy.

"No, I love it, thank you. ”

Qiuzi said, hugged her, picked up the skinning knife on the ground, and said, "I saw this on TV, it just so happens that the skinning knife at home is not easy to use, thank you." The rest ......"

Lin Hai hurriedly said: "Take the rest, it's a big deal, I'll pay her back slowly in the future." ”

Hikaru Utada listened and realized that he might have done something wrong, and said in frustration, "I'm sorry, my mother didn't tell me what to give when I give a gift......"

Lin Hai said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not strange that we Huaxia people pay attention to etiquette, you don't have to care too much." ”

Saying this, Lin Hai couldn't help but complain in his heart: Even if you don't blame many people, you really have a little more tricks, not to mention anything else, what the hell is that red-haired crab with a lot of flowers?

……

Kyoko and Hikaru were curious about what gifts Lin Hai had brought to their mother, but Lin Hai had taken them out.

The two come out of the house, and Kumako pulls Kyoko into a corner where no one is around, asking what he did wrong.

"If you meet for the first time, don't send anything too valuable...... To wrap the gift, the cardboard rope that binds the gift box must be an odd number...... You can't mention the price, and if you put a price tag, you must remove it carefully...... Also, try not to send daily necessities because they are not of much use and will be troublesome when you receive them......"

Kyoko was only halfway through speaking, and Xiong Guang squatted in the corner to draw circles.

Kyoko persuaded: "Don't be sad, isn't Akiko's mother happy?"

It's okay if she doesn't persuade her, but as soon as she persuades, Xiong Guang jumped up from the ground in an instant.

"You're embarrassed to say it!"

Xiong Guang tugged Kyoko's face hard and said, "How can you call her mother with confidence?"

"So, what else?"

"Call her 'Aunt Akiko'!"

"However, we are good friends with Lin Jun, Lin Jun's mother is called Qiuzi, isn't it normal to call her 'Qiuzi Mother'?

Xiong Guang was stunned for a moment, and then shouted frantically: "Ahhh

After shouting, she asked nervously, "Do you think it's too late for me to change my mind now?"

"Hmm......" Kyoko thought for a moment and said slyly, "That would be too deliberate." ”

The bear light faded instantly, and looked at Kyoko, who was humming happily, and secretly scolded in his heart-

Who said that a woman with big breasts is a stupid woman? Come out and see if I don't kill him!

……

"I don't know what to bring in a hurry, I hope you like it. ”

Lin Hai presented a small, delicately packaged box with both hands.

Akiko opened the box and found that it was a cassette tape inside.

"Can I listen now?"

"It's better to wait until I hear it later. Lin Hai said embarrassedly: "It's nothing special, it's just a song written in the past few years, recorded overnight, and the effect may not be ideal." ”

Seeing this, Akiko put the tape away.

Lin Hai saw that she didn't choose to listen immediately, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't plan to take it out so quickly, but he was harmed by Kyoko's stupidity.

"The two of them really make you laugh. ”

"Both of them are very good. Akiko smiled, "So, which one is your girlfriend?"

Lin Hai blushed and said, "Don't get me wrong, we're just good friends." ”

"It's a little bit of a pity. Akiko said: "You have to hold on tightly, the girl's heart will not stay in one place forever." In short, no matter who you choose, Mom will support you, come on!"

"Ahh ”

Even if he has a soul of almost forty, Lin Hai is still like a child in front of his mother.

I don't want to talk about love topics, and there are some topics that I can't avoid all the time.

Lin Hai took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed: "I only found out yesterday that you are still alive, how can I say it, I was really deceived by that bastard......

"How can you call him that, he's your father. ”

"What qualifies to a bastard who lied to his son that 'Mommy is already dead' qualifies to be a father?"

"Is that what you think?"

Akiko paused for a moment and said, "When you finish listening to our story, you'll probably understand him......

……

The story begins twenty years ago.

Twenty years ago, before the opening of the Kita-Sanriku Railway, Akiko, who had just graduated from junior high school and was only 14 years old, left home for Tokyo despite her mother's strong opposition.

Akiko has been good at singing since she was a child, and her dream at that time was to become an idol like Momoe Yamaguchi.

When she arrived in Tokyo, she realized how far the gap between her dreams and reality was.

"At first, I didn't know what to do, and I was still being

deceived to make an adult film, but fortunately the reaction was quickly escaped, otherwise...... Anyway, I was in Tokyo for more than a year before I got a chance to take a photo, and I was introduced by a photographer who used to come here to report on the northern ama......"

"Didn't you join the firm?"

"Nope. Akiko shook her head and said, "I need to pay a lot of money to join the firm, I was working in a restaurant at that time, and my income was only enough for my usual expenses, and I couldn't get the registration fee at all." Because he left home in anger, and he didn't have the face to ask for money from his family, the idea at that time was to take one step at a time......"

"And then?"

"Later, I met your father. Hang often went to that restaurant to eat at that time, he was a student of the East University, he was polite and handsome, and several girls who worked in the store liked him. I'm no exception. I couldn't resist handing him the book, but I didn't expect him to agree. ”

Akiko said with a happy face, "To be honest, I felt like I was dreaming at the time. I'm rustic, I have a low education, I have a poor job, I can't even speak Tokyo, I didn't expect him to take a fancy to me, it's like Cinderella meets a prince......"

Lin Hai looked at Qiuzi, it was about the relationship between the wind and the sun, her skin was not good, and wrinkles had already appeared at the corners of her eyes, but even so, she was still called a beauty, and she was definitely insulated from the earth.

Lin Yuanhang's guy is not blind.

Thinking like this, Lin Hai said with a thorn in his words: "So, I thought it was a prince at the time, but later I found out that it was a scumbag?"

"It seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of him. ”

Akiko sighed and said, "Hang is very good, he doesn't dislike me at all, but he takes me everywhere he goes, and he also took me to the graduation ball of the University of Tokyo." At that ball, he proposed to me in front of everyone, and I didn't hesitate to say yes. And then there's you. ”

"And then?"

Lin Hai was anxious to hear what was next.

However, Akiko's memories had to be temporarily interrupted because of a group of uninvited guests outside the door.
