After returning to the dormitory after dinner in the evening, Nana Hashimoto took out her mobile phone, and after hesitating for a long time, dialed her home phone number.

"Hey, this is the Hashimoto family, who is it?" A familiar voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Mom, it's me, Nanamin. Nana Hashimoto didn't control her emotions and said slowly.

"Hmm...... Are you doing well?" Hashimoto's mother on the other side of the phone trembled.

"Well, there's activity every day now, and I'm working hard. Nana Hashimoto said slowly.

"The curriculum at the school...... Won't there be a delay?" the mother asked.

"Well, the company has already said that it won't delay learning, so don't worry. Nana Hashimoto didn't let her mother have to worry about her studies.

"Hmm...... I've already received the money, and your dad knows it. Although he didn't say anything, he had changed. The mother replied.

"Hmm...... That's good...... Every month, I send money to my family on time, and my salary here is still guaranteed. Nanami Hashimoto said.

Nana Min ...... Pay attention to your body and don't get too tired. Mother said with a choked voice.

"By the way, I won't go back for the New Year, there are more things in the group, and I may not go home for the New Year this year. Nana Hashimoto said slowly.

"Didn't you come back for the New Year?...... "Mother said with some sadness.

"Well, I've been doing a lot lately, and I'm busy with work, so I'm not going back. Nana Hashimoto replied without interruption.

"Well, the whole family can't spend the New Year together this year...... "Mother said a little sadly.

"What about my brother, what are you doing now?" Nana Hashimoto didn't see that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and quickly changed the topic.

"Is he in the room, do you call him by me?" asked the mother.

"Well, help me get him to answer the phone. Nanami Hashimoto said.

Then the mother called the younger brother from the room, and the younger brother heard that it was the older sister who called, and immediately ran over.

"Hey, sister, I miss you so much! You've really become an idol! I saw it on TV!" said the younger brother with some excitement.

"Well, yes. Nanami Hashimoto shook her head, and then said in a very stern voice: "How is the homework, has it fallen!"

"Well, no, no, I'm too nervous this time, I took the third place in the exam, I could have been the first, but I didn't play well!" replied the younger brother a little weakly.

"That's all an excuse, why can't you if others can take the first exam, or are you slack off and not working hard enough!"

"Well, I know, sister, I will work harder, and I will definitely take the first test next time!" the younger brother swore and promised.

"Well, you have to work hard, sister, I'm also working hard!" said Nanami Hashimoto.

"Sister, do you have anything to do with your call today, do you need to pick you up when you come back, I can!" said the younger brother.

"No, it's not this, it's that I won't go back for the New Year, tell my family. Nanami Hashimoto said.

"Really, how can you ...... like this?" the younger brother was a little depressed.

"There are a lot of jobs for idols, and my sister can't help herself. Nana Hashimoto explained.

"Sister, I really like your performance on TV, where is Nogizaka, I've been chasing after me! Really, really, I think my sister is the best!" said the younger brother with some excitement.

"No, I'm still a lot worse than others......" Nana Hashimoto was a little embarrassed by his younger brother's praise, and quickly said.

"Yes, my sister is the best sister in the world!" said the younger brother firmly.

"Ahem," a familiar coughing sound came from behind, and Nana Hashimoto on the other side of the phone was also stunned after hearing it, this voice, is it ......

"Ahh

"Father......" Nana Hashimoto's voice is not too loud, but it can be heard clearly.

"Hmm...... Won't you come back for the Chinese New Year?" my father said a little unnaturally. Just now, my mother told Nana Hashimoto the reason why she didn't come home for the New Year, and then inexplicably, my father came over and wanted to say a few words to this conflicting daughter.

"Well, it's busy in the group......" Nanami Hashimoto also became nervous.

"Alone in Tokyo...... Take care of your body and take care of yourself. The father was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly.

"Yes, you and your mother too. Nana Hashimoto was not slightly excited.

"When I have time, I'll go home and have a look. Your mother, she...... I miss you so much. Father said intermittently.

"Well, it's ......" Nanami Hashimoto nodded silently and replied.

Then the two of them were silent for about ten seconds, and finally Nana Hashimoto didn't say that she was going to rest, so she hung up the phone.

After the call, Nana Hashimoto did not carefully recall all the content just now, tears slowly, soaked his eyes, followed the corners of his eyes, crossed his cheeks, and finally had a conversation with his father, poking at the softest place in his heart. Her heart is very strong, but it is not an iron stone, no matter how strong her heart is, there are soft places in it, this time, Nana Hashimoto was just right, and was touched to the softest place in her heart.

"I'm back!" Ikoma Rina shouted as she walked to the door with her suitcase and before she could enter the door.

"Rina, you're back!" Rina Ikoma's mother quickly ran out of the house, she received a call from her father early in the morning, knowing that Rina Ikoma would be home today.

"Brother, come and help your sister with her luggage!" the mother hurriedly beckoned her brother in the house to come and help her with her luggage.

"Sister, you're back!" the younger brother came out to greet and took over Rina Ikoma's luggage.

"You've grown taller again! yes, yes. Rina Ikoma nodded, and the three of them returned to the house.

"Ah, Rina, you're back!" "Ikoma's grandparents were also there in the house, welcoming Ikoma Rina back.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back, I miss you so much!" said Rina Ikoma loudly, and then rushed over and hugged her grandparents. Grandma Ikoma had tears in her eyes, and Grandpa Ikoma kept saying, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"

"Look, I've lost so much weight in the past few months,......" Grandma Ikoma said with some distress as she looked at Rina Ikoma's emaciated figure.

"Well, it's hard to suffer, I feel it this time!" Grandpa Ikoma nodded and said to Rina Ikoma.

"It's okay, grandparents, I love being in the group now, working hard with everyone and cheering together!" said Rina Ikoma.

"Well, it's worthy of being a descendant of our Ikoma family. Grandpa Ikoma said.

"Rina, we all watched your show, the whole family watched it, your father and grandfather are your ultimate meal. Ikoma's mother brought the fruit and put it on the table, and said to Rina Ikoma.

"Yes, my father hasn't come back yet...... Hehe, Ikoma didn't do that well!" Rina Ikoma scratched her hair shyly.

"Well, there are still many areas for improvement, and my sister should continue to work hard!" said the younger brother next to him.

"You, when the family watches the show, they always complain about your sister and brother, you are too strict!" said Ikoma's mother.

"No, no, no, I really haven't done enough, it's still a lot worse, but I'm going to work harder and won't give up!" said Rina Ikoma firmly.

The family talked for a long time, and Grandpa Iikoma and his younger brother sat and talked with Rina Iikoma, while his mother and grandmother began to get busy in the kitchen, preparing to cook a big meal for Rina Iikoma to welcome her return.

Ikoma's father also returned home from work, and the moment he saw his daughter, he immediately hugged Rina Ikoma, and he was very emotional, maybe his father was the person in the family who wanted to see Ikoma the most.

Dinner began, and Rina Ikoma picked up a mouthful of rice with chopsticks, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, and tears slowly flowed out.

"What's the matter, Rina, isn't the food to taste?" Ikoma's father asked with concern when he saw his daughter's strange appearance.

"What's wrong, Rina?" Ikoma's mother asked, thinking that today's meals were Rina Ikoma's favorite food, but what happened today.

"Feeling...... I can eat the rice which I cooked to be in the hometown...... I really think it's delicious. With tears in her eyes, Rina Ikoma said, "The rice cooked in Tokyo doesn't have the aroma of rice made from Akita's rice, and every time I eat, I miss the rice from my hometown...... I was finally able to eat it today, and I feel so happy!"

Hearing these words, Ikoma's mother and grandmother couldn't help but shed tears, and everyone could feel what it was like for Rina Ikoma to be alone in Tokyo. This child is really hard for her,

"Eat, eat, when you get home, just eat happily!" Ikoma's father held back his tears and kept putting vegetables on Ikoma's plate, while the grandfather next to him looked at her with a look of relief.

"Yes, let's eat, I didn't eat well in Tokyo, so I ate more food at home. The mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said.

"Hehe, no, I didn't get used to it at first, but now I'm used to it, and after the practice or announcement is over, I always go out to eat with everyone, and we also went to eat hot pot before I came back, it's very delicious!" "Rina Ikoma told her family some interesting things when she usually eats with everyone, and the whole family listened very carefully, looking at Rina Ikoma's cheerful appearance, and the family was very happy for her.

The members all returned to their respective homes, more or less the same, and were able to enjoy the long holiday and the upcoming New Year with peace of mind.
