Summer vacation, for college students, not always have a trip to go. Some people just have more time to spend on working to earn money.

Some people can go back to their hometowns. Some people can sleep until they wake up naturally, and then they can live a happy life of playing games, watching dramas, and chasing fans all day long......

Kentaro Miyamoto drove the car with Miki Fujiwara and left his residence in Kagurazaka, Shinjuku Ward, and went straight to Karuizawa, the back garden of Tokyo. It's a vacation that's been invited a long time ago.

Miki Fujiwara, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked thoughtfully, "Are we really going to spend the whole summer vacation in Karuizawa?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said bluntly, "If you don't like it there, you can go back to Tokyo at any time!" ”

Miki Fujiwara tilted her head, looked out through the car window, and felt the heat, "It's too hot in Tokyo." Even if I was asked to stay in Karuizawa for a long time, I would be willing. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto smiled and said, "Before, you couldn't do it? ”

Miki Fujiwara had a memory of the past in her head: "It's over! No matter how hot it is, it's still the same. In the past, although I had an air conditioner in my house, I didn't turn it on much on hot days.

This is the most often turned on, or the electric fan. When an electric fan blows on a person's body, it is completely with a burst of hot air. The hotter the weather, the hotter it will be for the electric fan to blow hot air.

When we turn on the air conditioner in our house, we often have to turn it on when the family is all together. If the people don't arrive, even if it's really hot and unbearable, Mom won't let you go, but will just let you take a cold shower and blow the fan. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto smiled and said, "Is it so miserable?" No way! ”

Fujiwara Miki said with a serious face: "I really didn't laugh with you, and I didn't sell miserably." This has always been the case for our family. In the past few nights, not only did I not fall asleep from the heat, but I also woke up from the heat. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said casually: "You can't sleep, can you just wait for dawn with your eyes open?" ”

Fujiwara Miki said truthfully: "At the same time that I can't sleep because of the heat, Reina can't sleep because of the heat. As a result, the two sisters could only talk.

We talk about everything. Sometimes, we talked and went to sleep. It's the best. Sometimes, with your eyes closed, you still can't fall asleep completely. Sometimes it's semi-conscious.

In short, summer was not easy for our family. It's winter, hey...... However, it was better than summer. At the very least, you can sleep comfortably in bed at night.

Heating air conditioning, it's a complete dream. Electricity is not cheap for ordinary Japanese people, especially in summer and winter. You don't have the same experience as me! ”

Kentaro Miyamoto has a saying: "When I go to bed at night in the summer, I turn on the air conditioner and have to cover a quilt." Otherwise, you will be woken up cold.

As for winter, take off your coat when you enter the house, and the air conditioner is not very open, after all, there is floor heating! I really don't know how much the electricity bill is, and I haven't paid it in person.

In the past, I lived with my grandmother, and I was also paid by the housekeeper. Even if I move out and live in Kagurazaka right now, you will have to pay the electricity bill! ”

Miki Fujiwara blurted out: "When you pay off your credit card every month, don't you check the bill?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said bluntly, "I've always set up automatic debiting of credit cards. Besides, instead of spending that time slowly reconciling my bills, it would be more meaningful to use this time to do something else. ”

Fujiwara Miki answered, "What else can you do?" It's not a game yet. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto retorted, "It's not like I just know how to play games all day long. I also read and learn. ”

Fujiwara Miki said expressionlessly: "Every time I talk to you about these things in daily life, I feel how poor I am.

So far, our family has not even achieved the freedom of air conditioning. On top of that, there are thirty-five years of mortgages that need to be paid back to the bank slowly. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto smiled and said, "In my personal opinion, the good thing about having money is that you can simplify complex things, and if you don't have money, you can only complicate simple things."

Besides, your family is not poor. As far as I know, aren't the average middle-class families in Japan living like yours? ”

Fujiwara Miki laughed twice and said, "You're quite good at comforting people." ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said objectively: "Why does Japan, a country with many earthquakes, have to build nuclear power plants? It's not because there's not enough electricity.

Now this electricity price, most people feel that it is expensive. If Japan's nuclear power plants were shut down, electricity bills would only become more expensive. TEPCO has already decided to raise the price of electricity by almost 30 percent.

According to one of their accounts, they lost 317 billion yen last year. The main reason for this is the increase in the price of natural gas, oil and other fossil raw materials caused by the war. ”

After hearing this, Fujiwara Miki immediately expressed her dissatisfaction and said, "Do you want people to live?" Nowadays, the price of everything is rising, but the income of ordinary people is not rising.

What kind of income can ordinary people have in addition to wage income? It's not like you rich people who can have other sources of income.

TEPCO is not a thing, is it? Is it still losing money? Is this hilarious? What's that? ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't laugh when he saw her such a reaction, and he didn't laugh or say, "Don't get excited." No matter how much you scold, it won't help. Anyway, the price of electricity will increase in the future. ”

Fujiwara Miki said distressedly: "How is our family spending this summer?" Isn't the number of times the air conditioner is turned on and only decreases? ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said directly: "Your father has been promoted to become the section chief, so there will be a rise in income." ”

Fujiwara Miki shook his head and said: "Although my father's income has risen to a certain extent, it can't keep up with the speed of price increases, especially the rise in electricity prices."

For our family, there is not much difference between this rise and before it did not. However, this can still offset some of the negative impact of rising prices for our family.

The people who are really most negatively affected by the price increase are those ordinary people whose wages have not risen, or even have their salaries reduced. I dare venture to say that this summer, the number of Japanese people dying from heat will increase compared to last year. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't say anything and laughed: "Why don't you transfer some money to your mother to pay for the electricity bill?" ”

Fujiwara Miki did not object: "I listen to you." ”
