Chapter 325: Kitakami Hakodate (II)
Outside Shinhakodate-Hokuto Station on the Tohoku Shinkansen, a gentle female white-collar worker with short hair had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw the crowd of people getting off the train pouring out of the platform, she stood on tiptoe and looked inside.
"Midong! Moko! Over here! ”
A pair of twin girls walked out of the crowd, one with a more sharp and sharp appearance, and the other with a gentle and elegant temperament, it was Mito Aoyama and Moko Miyamoto. When they saw the figure of the family from afar, they immediately stepped forward quickly, for fear of being slowed down by something.
"Futaba, long time no see!"
Midong opened her mouth, her voice trembling slightly, and she was a little embarrassed and at a loss; Mozi was much more comfortable, smiling very happily, and took the hands of the two. As for the woman they met, Futaba was also very excited, but he maturely restrained his excitement and just gently put his arm around Midong.
"I thought you wouldn't come back one day. Let me see, my dear Midong-chan has gained a lot of weight, but Mozi has become a little thinner? ”
"Don't make fun of it......"
The most afraid is to meet acquaintances, Midong really doesn't plan to waste this kind of time on friends over the years, so she plans to leave the station in a group of three. Today is the second day after the typhoon, and many hard-working people in the south know that their hometown is suffering, and they are rushing back in a hurry. In addition, there are many people picking up the station, and the flow of people here at the station is really not small, and it is really not a good thing for anyone to plan to stay at the exit for a long time.
"Look, as soon as you leave the station, the farmland will be destroyed by the rain."
Futaba is in charge of leading the way to the parking lot and reminding the sisters where to look. Mi Dong sighed that this is exactly the case, the station and the railway are flanked by vast farmland, hundreds or even thousands of hectares of fertile land stretching south, but how much wheat can still thrive after the splendor of the storm?
However, Meidong just pouted: "The loss of farmers is actually not big, but it will increase the burden on the government, and fools know that half of the watermelons we buy are paid for the government and given to farmers for free." ”
"There's some truth to that." Futaba was going to complain again, but at this time he could only smile bitterly: "Japanese farmers are not a vulnerable group, especially those fruit farmers, especially the farmer artists who grow watermelons, who are not the most respected people in the local area." This loss ......"
The family Futaba is not from Hakodate, but the cost of going south from Chitose City is not high, so it is natural to take the Mito sisters on a tour. They drove east from the satellite city of Hokuto into the territory of Hakodate and drove directly along the embankment. Their hometowns are Hokkaido and Chiba City, and although it is regrettable that Hakodate was damaged, they were able to observe it calmly and draw the conclusions they needed.
"The rain was much heavier than expected, and many rental cars didn't take their cars back, so now it's not soaked, hehe...... Look at those imprints. ”
It was a parking lot built on the embankment, not some low-lying area, but all the outdoor vehicles were soaked from below the tires. Fortunately, the terrain was flat after all, so that the engine would not be drowned, and there was no tsunami that caused the earthquake to sweep the levees.
"There are losses everywhere, but they are limited, and people can get through it with their own efforts, and external assistance is not even necessary." Midong stared out the window, assessing the damage of the disaster, and at the same time, there was obviously some emotion, Hakodate is not a thousand years old, but after all, it is also one of the places where she wandered when she was young, how can there be no emotions at all.
Mozi saw her mood in her eyes, sighed softly, and couldn't help but hold Midong's hand, and the family Futaba who was in charge of driving had all the details in mind. Everyone knows very well in their hearts that today's trip is Midon's homecoming, and it is clear that she has invested in some small-scale industries in Hokkaido, but she has never set foot in person again, and this is an opportunity.
It's noon, it's easy to find a hotel in the city, the typhoon is mainly devastated by farmland and coastal docks, although there is a mess in the city, but of course it will not affect the operation of the hotel. A typhoon is not an earthquake, and even if four major typhoons hit at the same time, the impact on the Japanese people, who are accustomed to disasters, will still be limited. Although many buildings in the city are also damaged, not only ordinary shoppers, but even those who are busy repairing are very happy and optimistic.
"People's livelihood and people's livelihood, all I think about now is people's livelihood."
Looking out from the restaurant on the upper floors of the mall, Midong even put down her chopsticks, because there are few high-rise buildings in Hakodate, and her vision is too wide, and she can see the thousands of houses within a radius of several miles.
"Hey, is there something our big businessman going to do?" The short-haired white-collar girl smiled softly and proudly, and was very happy to see Midong's identity today: "But if it's for disaster relief, I'm really embarrassed, what we're experiencing now is not the Great Kanto Earthquake~"
Mei Dong waved his hand: "It's just a professional habit, unless you're not a good professional." Like Sister Futaba has been doing marketing and sales for so many years, if you see related things on weekdays, won't you move closer to your career? ”
"I wish I hadn't." Futaba smiled bitterly and picked up a strand of noodles: "If you are an ordinary office worker, 9 to 5 and overtime are hard enough, if you are still full of this kind of thought on weekdays, then you will really become a workaholic." ”
"Who's not a business leader?" Mozi responded on the side, happy: "That's why I handed over the inheritance to Midong, and let a literary girl worry about business all day long, oh my God, please spare me~"
Roughly this is the case, and Midong simply learned about the disaster in Hakodate, and as everyone unanimously agreed, it was more than enough than the top. There are losses, but the people can solve them themselves, except for the lack of agricultural production, which the government has to subsidize, and they don't even need much help from outsiders. Midong even wanted to complain, why wasn't it an earthquake, if there was an earthquake, Miyamoto would be able to pounce on it immediately!
"You might as well think about nuclear power." In this regard, Mozi could only say: "But until then, Mito, will you stay in Hakodate tonight, or will you go back to Chitose with Sister Futaba?" ”
As expected by the two women present, Midong's expression became unnatural again. A trip back to Hokkaido is enough, and if you go back to Chitose City, you will undoubtedly be directly implicated in the orphanage of your childhood, which is really not a wonderful experience, and who would want to provoke such memories.
But this time, after Midong was silent for a moment, she still nodded.
