Today is December 31, 1979.

There is still one day to step into the 80s, and I am getting closer and closer to the era that I was familiar with in my previous life.

Today, Shirakawa Electric only has a day shift and no night shift.

After three shifts in a week, everyone was tired enough. It happened that the evening was the annual Red and White Song Party, so I simply let everyone relax for a night and fight again in the future.

In the evening, at the gate of Shirakawa Electric, Shirakawa Kaede personally sent an envelope to every worker who left.

Inside is a 20,000 yen pension to thank everyone for their hard work over the past week, and everyone has it.

In fact, the year-end bonus Shirakawa Electric also issued a lot, but if they can stick to the last day, Shirakawa Kaede is still grateful to them.

And today is also the last day of the 70s, so there must be some sense of ritual.

"President Shirakawa, thank you so much."

"Hard work"

…

After handing out the last envelope in his hand, Shirakawa Kaede sighed as if relaxed.

"Xiao Feng, are you really not with me?" Torotaro, who was standing beside him, asked Ai Ai.

Bai Chuanfeng waved his hand, "You guy, be careful, don't drink and you won't be able to control your temper."

Also, don't believe a word from the girls there. Save a little more and buy a home in Tokyo is better than anything else. ”

Torotaro scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Got it, Kaede-chan." Then I'll go first, be careful yourself.

If there's anything important, call me a pager, and I'll be there within thirty minutes. ”

Shirakawa Kaede waved his hand in disgust again, signaling him to get out of here.

Ever since this guy was taken to Shinjuku for tea by Kashiwagi, he's been obsessed with these things.

He didn't object to going to these places, but he was afraid that Torotaro would be deceived by those women who were full of hearts.

What innocent young man can withstand the temptation of those light mature women?

Thinking about Shirakawa Kaede himself in his previous life, isn't it too...

Ahem, that's all old, still look at the present, still look at the present.

Shirakawa Kaede turned around again to look at the empty Shirakawa Electric, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The roar of the machines is gone, and the sight of people coming and going is gone.

The suddenly empty venue made his heart empty.

Although tomorrow it will be busy again, there is always a little bit of unsteadyness.

It is said that the lawyer's letter to Sony has been sent, but at this time the major companies have taken a holiday.

Even if Sony's action is extraordinarily fast, the response is estimated to be a matter of years later.

In that case, let's just put these things aside and relax.

But it seems that at this time, he is alone.

Alas, Kobayashi-san has already returned to Fukuoka, and there is not even a person who has a mouthful.

As for Seiko Matsuda, it's the same. However, her hometown is also from Fukuoka.

Tsk, I don't know if these two people will meet.

Shirakawa Kaede still remembers Kobayashi Asuka's evaluation of Seiko Matsuda, not like a good person.

Ha, it's kind of interesting to think about now.

And then there's Yuko Tanaka...

"Dididi" suddenly the sound of a pager on his waist interrupted his thoughts.

Hey, say Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Looking for a phone booth on the side of the road, Shirakawa Kaede called back.

"Shirakawa-kun?"

The familiar voice made Shirakawa's heart relax.

"Senior Sister Tian is as clever as ever."

The brisk response of "Ha" made Shirakawa Kaede's empty heart feel a lot more steady.

"Why did Senior Sister call at this time, have you already returned to your hometown?"

"No, I'm still in Tokyo."

"Eh, why? Are there any activities? ”

"Sort of." He seemed to be satisfied with Shirakawa Kaede's reaction, and the voice in the microphone sounded a little smug.

"Let me guess, staying in Tokyo at this time is because of some kind of activity that I have to go..."Shirakawa Kaede's heart moved, "It can't be red and white, right?" ”

"Eh, Shirakawa-kun is also very clever."

"So that's really the case" Shirakawa Kaede was a little surprised, as a newcomer who had just debuted for a year, it was a great thing to be able to be red and white.

"Bingo~" Yuko Tanaka was also very happy, although she didn't have any performances, just attended as a guest.

But after all, it is red and white, and with a rating of more than 50%, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a regular program for the New Year of all Japanese families.

So on this day, Yuko Tanaka also called him specially to share the joy in her heart with him.

"It's really amazing," Shirakawa Kaede praised with a smile, "Then you must contribute to the ratings for the senior sister at night." ”

"Then please~, by the way, is Shirakawa-kun in his hometown now?"

"Not really, I'm still in Tokyo."

"Huh?" Yuko Tanaka was a little surprised, and then thought of something, "Shirakawa Electric? ”

"Bingo~" Shirakawa Kaede returned the salute.

A chuckle came from the earpiece, but soon a word of concern followed, "Are you busy right now?" ”

Shirakawa Kaede glanced at the empty Shirakawa Electric across the road, and replied with a smile, "Today is an exception." ”

"So Shirakawa-kun is alone today?"

"It's no problem to say that," I am indeed alone now.

"emm..."The voice on the other side hesitated for a moment and continued, "If Shirakawa-kun can wait, he might as well wait in the evening." ”

Shirakawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Okay."

…

Hanging up the phone, he looked at the sky, the winter time always passed too quickly, and it was already on inadvertently.

It's New Year's soon, and I don't know if it's snowing in the fawn.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone again and dialed the number.

"Moxie Moxi?"

"Mother, it's me."

"Xiao Feng," Mother and Son's voice sounded slightly trembling.

"Well, fawn... Is everything okay? ”

I wanted to say something, but I didn't know where to start for a while. Maybe he just wanted to hear what they had to say.

"It's good, but Xiaofeng has to take care of himself, this is the first time I've spent the New Year outside Xiaolu.

It probably snows in Tokyo, too, but don't freeze.

When you were a child, your ears were the most susceptible to frostbite, and now you still have a little scar.

In addition, the money you sent back is also collected.

Actually, we don't need that much at all, and what you left over from last year is a lot left over in addition to repaying your neighbors' tuition fees for supporting you.

But now that you have your own business, you should need them even more..."

Bai Chuanfeng never knew that his mother, who had always been very self-contained, would have such a chattering day.

She seemed to want to finish all the words she had saved up in a year at once.

And Shirakawa Kaede didn't have the slightest impatience, just listened quietly.

Being cared for is also a blessing.

"By the way, Xiao Feng, you will be an adult soon. If you're in a relationship right now, there's nothing wrong with that.

Don't be shy, when you meet a girl you like, take the initiative. ”

"Hai," Shirakawa Kaede agreed with a smile.

Are all parents in the world the same, and the topic of the New Year will always be crooked here.

But now, he won't feel impatient, and even a knowing smile will appear in his heart.

After a few more words with his mother, Shirakawa Kaede hung up the phone.

Okay, put all the worries aside, and respond to all the worries one by one.

So, wait for the New Year's bell to ring.
