Chapter 204, the past memories of Miyamoto's old mansion
"As of 9 o'clock today, Typhoon Amirhans has risen to the level of 14, which is the same as Typhoon Baman, and is expected to make landfall on the eastern coast of Hokkaido at 7 o'clock tonight and have a huge impact on Hakodate City. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism would like to remind the general public to ......"
When the northern part of the country is facing the threat of natural disasters, the people in the south are also paying attention, and the population of Miyamoto's old house in Shizuoka City is not large, especially after the old family owner and second son-in-law are imprisoned, and only two women are left as permanent residents. Now it's the noon news, and the only two residents in the house are sitting side by side on the sofa doing needlework after lunch, frowning at the latest news broadcast on TV.
"It's really amazing, it's already September, why is there such a big typhoon?"
Just as an old woman is knitting a light pink sweater, just as a young woman is knitting a dark purple sleeve, Chiyo Miyamoto and Shizuko live a typical slow-paced life, with fragrant black tea on the coffee table. In the corner of the door, the maid Reina must be hidden there, but the location is extremely hidden so that it will not disturb any guests.
"It's not a good place to stay in Hokkaido, it's cold in winter. I heard that Mozi has been playing the idea of real estate recently, and Brother Longteng also agrees with it, but according to Mozi's meaning, it seems that he has plans to operate in the north. ”
The daughter chatted quietly, but her mother's old palms trembled, and Chiyo's grandmother's eyes flickered, and then let out a long sigh.
"It's not a livable place, why isn't this sentence talking about this? Shizuko, I've been wondering lately, since Moko is at least going to school and living in Tokyo for a young year, is it possible for her to stay there directly...... Not coming back? ”
"Well...... this"
Shizuko pauses in her weaving movements and looks up at the half-open door on the diagonal side. The empty and huge mansion, in fact, if it weren't for the call of the old master, the Miyamoto clan who lived here on weekdays would be only five people, but the number of bedrooms was as high as more than twenty. Seriously calculated, in fact, there are more servants than masters, and today's mere two women, do they really need such a luxurious pomp?
"If you think about it this way, since Mozi is already the head of the family, we really don't need to curl up in the ...... anymore I lived here. ”
Shizuko Miyamoto smiled dryly: "It's also my daughter, your granddaughter, Moko must be much more generous than her father, if we want to live in Beijing, she won't be stingy with the investment in a mansion, right?" Isn't it just right that she is also going to set up a new company in the real estate industry? ”
"Hmm...... Miyamoto Bussan, if you think about it, you know that it will be this name. ”
The old woman Chiyo nodded slowly, not focusing on the knitting at all, but watching the TV show intently. There is a moment of effort, the typhoon has long passed, and now the advertisement is followed by financial programs, but unfortunately she can't understand it.
"It's really unexpected, Mozi is actually going to set up a large company......
She slowly strung up a yarn and knitted a pink sweater, but looking at the exquisite patterns on it, it was obviously for young women, and with the distinct color matching, the wearer was obviously the most youthful and beautiful girl.
"When she was born, who would have imagined that she is today. The new generation of heads of the Miyamoto family...... can actually be used by women to occupy this position, the old man's mind is really not something that anyone can guess. Maybe I'm stupid, or maybe times have changed? Isn't it that over the years, the lifetime employment system has almost been impacted, and the loss-making enterprises acquired by Chinese investors will immediately make profits as soon as they change the principle of seniority and salary increases...... You're not stupid. ”
"That kind of thing, it's a little far away from me......"
Who knows how much has happened this morning, anyway, Shizuko Miyamoto is not in a good mood, she sighed softly, and smiled reluctantly: "If you don't have a few days, I'll talk to Moko." Didn't my mother complain a few days ago that the villa in Hawaii was sold by the old man, and if it was Mozi, she would definitely buy it back, right? ”
"Compared to the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, or if only there was a secluded house, unlike you, I'm seventy years old......"
The old woman completely put down the needlework in her hand, and as a long time of rest, she even stretched lazily. The maid was just outside the door, but she had no intention of saying hello, and in this spacious multi-purpose room, she simply piled her clothes in the corner of the sofa and ignored them.
"At the age of seventy, it's time to reminisce about the past......"
"Mother's ......"
Shizuko spoke from the side, as if she had expected something.
"Actually, I've been thinking, if you and I dared to resist back then, would it have ushered in a different ending?"
Although the old woman of Chiyo is old, her eyes are clear and transparent, which is by no means comparable to ordinary old people. When she rarely said such an opening, Shizuko's expression changed again and again, but she couldn't say anything.
I only listened to the old woman continue: "Give a hundred reasons, it is nothing more than not willing to live now. It's true that you and I don't have much ability to make a living, but if you really put your mind to it, not to mention the kind of work as an accountant or administrative clerk, even if you go to work as a cleaner, of course, you can support yourself. It's better to sacrifice the happiness of the next generation than to make ourselves difficult, we ...... Who doesn't think so? ”
Shizuko's face was not only wrong, but also suddenly turned pale: "Mother, why are you all of a sudden!?" ”
"So this matter, Shizuko, must not let Mozi know."
The old woman's words were sharp, and after making her daughter uneasy, she still had the momentum of falling into a well: "This is the abandonment we voluntarily choose, although we have found an adoptive family for another child, although the loss of contact is due to the typhoon, but this cannot avoid our initial fault." Shizuko, it's just the dragon and them, if you and I don't hide this secret......"
She gazed deeply at her daughter, Shizuko, who was in her early forties, seemed to be much more beautiful than when she was younger, as if it was not carved out of a mold.
“…… But if you lose everything. The current Mozi, and even the Mozi all the time, are far stronger and more connotative than we imagined! ”
This sentence is referring to the matter of Tomoya.
Shizuko Miyamoto nodded silently and didn't say anything more.
On TV, the economic news has already begun to be broadcast, and the latest situation of the typhoon is scrolling at the top of the screen, which is obviously going to last for a long time.
