Mizukawa Takashi took advantage of this weekend and was forced to go back to Karuizawa's hometown. He originally wanted to call back, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was best to say it in person.

As soon as Mizukawa Takashi entered the house, he saw his old father sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking bored. He took the initiative to sit next to the other party, but he was not in a hurry to say something.

Grandfather Mizukawa asked knowingly, "Why do you think you're coming back?" ”

Mizukawa Takashi said straight: "Dad, you're a lot older. As for conflict with others over a trivial matter? ”

Grandfather Mizukawa suddenly looked quite emotional and said, "I've long been tired of seeing what that old thing Oda did. He always relied on his personal seniority and followed the two generations of presidents of the Ishihara family.

Coupled with the fact that three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren have not only worked for the Ishihara family, but they have also become retainers of the lineage, especially his son and grandson, who are still close ministers, and they look down on those of us who have officially retired from Karuizawa Shochu.

In the past, every year on Respect for the Aged Day, he always sarcastically said that those of us who were too lucky to be taken in were called Hanako.

If it weren't for the shochu shop being bought by the chairman that year, our factory would have gone bankrupt and closed down a long time ago, and we would have lost our jobs one by one.

He is not qualified to eat and drink with them. We are able to enjoy all of this thanks to their Karuizawa Whisky Distillery. Bah...... What's so great about him. ”

Mizukawa Takashi didn't smile, and asked without smiling: "Dad, you never cared about it in the past." Why, do you have to worry about each other this year? ”

Grandfather Mizukawa said truthfully: "I didn't originally want to have a direct conflict with Oda. However, in that situation at that time, I don't know why, I couldn't suppress the nameless fire in my heart at all?

What's more, after so many years, I'm not the only one, and so many people who have officially retired from Karuizawa Shochu Brewery have been more or less angry with the official retirees from Karuizawa Whisky Distillery.

They were born by the aunt, and we were raised by the stepmother. Is the ancestral business of the Ishihara family in our Karuizawa shochu shop? ”

Mizukawa Takashi frowned and said, "Having said that, but ...... Dad, don't forget that your son, I'm also from Karuizawa Whisky Distillery. ”

Grandfather Mizukawa really couldn't refute it for a while, so he couldn't help but say vaguely: "You are you, and you are different from Xiao Tian's old thing."

If it weren't for the trust and respect of the chairman, you would not have been directly appointed as the first president of Karuizawa Heavy Industries. What does this mean? My son is amazing! ”

Mizukawa Takashi smiled bitterly and said, "You probably don't know yet, but your one thing has been ...... I'd better show you! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he found his phone, clicked on a related video to play it, and brought it close to his father's eyes.

Grandfather Mizukawa blurted out in less than a minute after watching it: "Hurry up, turn it off, close it." ”

Takashi Mizukawa turned off the video and said, "To tell you the truth, this related video has been circulated on the Internet. ”

Mizukawa's grandfather looked at his son in surprise and asked suspiciously, "Won't you?" ”

Mizukawa Takashi said bluntly: "If you don't believe what I say, then you can ask your old friends." I'm sure they all know about it one by one.

Dad, I'm 60 years old. When I first saw this video, I was so ashamed! And you're in your eighties. You've become a joke for many, many people. ”

Grandfather Mizukawa immediately realized that this incident was causing trouble to the child and said, "It won't cause you any trouble, right?" For example, the president's side? ”

Mizukawa Takashi cried and laughed: "If you had this heart to think about me, you shouldn't be impulsive." So far, the president has not told me this matter.

I don't think it's good for him to be straight with me. People who don't know think it's the bad guys who are getting old. Ay...... Can't the people in this family give me some peace of mind? ”

Grandfather Mizukawa said thoughtfully: "The people in the family? You mean there are other people besides me. Who's causing you trouble again? ”

Mizukawa Takashi said bluntly: "Who else can there be, your eldest grandson and granddaughter's family." One by one, they cried and made a fuss and wanted to come to Karuizawa Heavy Industries. ”

Grandfather Mizukawa came over and said, "Who made you, a person who is a father, too capable?" ”

Mizukawa Takashi said helplessly: "I'd rather let them stay at home one by one and gnaw at the old than transfer them to Wakayama City to work." ”

Mizukawa's grandfather pointed out, "Even if they don't have a job, they don't have to grow old to survive. Our Karuizawa relief fund is aimed at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

As far as I know, I can receive at least 130,000 yen per month. The average amount of relief for this person is more than 200,000 yen, which is more than the amount that many people can get in a month after working hard.

Not only that, but it will also provide them with very cheap public rental housing. Even one person can live for 1LDK. It looks like it's 30 or 40 square meters, and it only charges 10,000 yen a month. ”

Takashi Mizukawa hit the nail on the head and said: "Our Karuizawa finances are too sufficient, and then all kinds of welfare benefits are too good, so it is easy to raise lazy people."

In Wakayama City, there are many young people who want to work, but can't find a job. Many of them have had to leave their homes.

Recently, I just chose to go to Osaka to work and make money. If you want to go from afar, you will come to Tokyo to work and make money. This comparison is really the difference between heaven and earth. ”

Grandfather Mizukawa smiled and said, "Are you blaming the Karuizawa Group for paying too much tax to the local area?" Or do you blame us for having too few locals in Karuizawa?

What kind of person, what kind of life, this is something that God has arranged a long time ago. We're doing well, and that's how it should be. The people of Wakayama City are doing poorly, and they should all be the same. ”

Takashi Mizukawa suddenly felt and said, "I heard that all of our schools in Karuizawa are exempt from the lunch fee for students. Both locals and students from other places who come to study in Karuizawa are treated equally.

They also eat very well. After the meal, there is not only fruit, but also pudding. It's all the local government that subsidizes this expense.

In Wakayama City, what I learned was that public schools generally don't have pudding after meals, and they don't even have fruit. Not even the cheapest Southeast Asian banana has one. Some children from poor families cannot even afford school lunches. ”
