Chapter 126 125, Cheeks Turned Red
Chapter 126 125, the cheeks turned red.
When I returned to Sanzakuin at night, it was already dark.
Under the light of the street lights, the shadowy street trees are even more arrogant, as if urging pedestrians to quickly hide in their homes.
Turn on the switch, and soft light fills the entire yard.
Yamazakuin seemed to wake up from sleep and welcome the return of its master.
Nagayama Naoki didn't turn on the record player this time. The TV was showing an evening program. TV Tokyo was showing Arale-chan again. How could he miss it~
While sipping juice through a straw and watching childish and fun animations, he looked more like a seven or eight-year-old child.
If it hadn't been for a phone call, Nagayama Naoki felt that he would have been able to see the early morning like this.
"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in~" Nagayama Naoki answered the phone,
"Moses Moses, is this Naoki-san? I'm Kuniji Morikawa." On the other end of the phone was the senior editor of Shogakukan.
"Hi, Bunji-san, it's me."
"Ah, Naoki-san~" Kuniji Morikawa's voice sounded a little excited, "The time for the award ceremony has been determined, it will be the afternoon of tomorrow."
"Eh? Are you in such a hurry? I thought it would take at least a few days to prepare."
"It's nothing. It's a regular event every year. The process is fixed. The people who should be notified have already known about it. It's mainly to cooperate with the royal family's schedule."
"Nani? Does this mean that the royal family will also come to participate in the award ceremony?"
"Hey, Naoki-san, don't you know? Due to the special nature of children's literature, every year at the Children's Literature Award Ceremony, the queen or princess will participate in the award ceremony, which shows that the royal family attaches great importance to children." Morikawa Kunji
"That's it"
In Naoki Nagayama's mind, this kind of award shouldn't be just a matter of a few writers association old men getting together and giving a certificate to a newcomer. Why does it feel like the level has suddenly become higher?
"Bang Zhisang, are there any etiquette that I need to pay attention to?"
"Is it etiquette?" Morikawa Kunji thought for a while, that is, it is almost the same as meeting the president. "Just like meeting elders or people with high status. There will be many seniors present, Naoki-san will follow them. good."
"Well, I understand."
"Then I'll pick up Naoshu-san that day. The venue is a bit remote."
"Then I have to worry about Kunji-san. Sanzakura-in is a double-story Western-style house next to Kinka Park in Jimbocho."
"That's it!" Kuniji Morikawa suddenly realized that he would always pass by it when commuting to get off work. "It's really very close, Naoki-san."
"Hahaha, I just moved here."
"Then I'll pick you up at noon the day after tomorrow."
hang up the phone,
Nagayama Naoki thought for a while, if a women's children's literature award was given, then it would be Showa's Crown Princess Michiko?
Is she the poor queen who was said to have been tortured by her mother-in-law for more than 40 years in the future?
I also suffered from depression, aphasia, etc. because of public opinion.
So miserable
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is indeed a big problem that is difficult to solve in any era and in any class.
After thinking about it aimlessly for a while, my enthusiasm for watching TV has disappeared.
After Naoki Nagayama washed up, he went directly back to the bedroom and got into the warm bed~
When I opened my eyes, the cold wind in the morning became a little stronger again.
The weather is getting colder.
Sleeping until you wake up naturally is the dream of many migrant workers.
Nagayama Naoki did it,
As for counting money and getting cramps in my hands, I guess that's not far off either.
In short, Nagayama Naoki was still in a good mood, and he happily decided to eat toast. By the way, he also fried 2 poached eggs and a few strips of bacon. It was a hearty breakfast that was neither Chinese nor foreign.
Today can be said to be a completely uneventful day.
Chinese New Year is coming in just over a week, and everyone is waiting for the holiday to arrive.
However, the formal attire probably needs to be dry cleaned, otherwise it may be rude during the award ceremony tomorrow~
After eating breakfast and cleaning up the kitchen,
Nagayama Naoki took out the formal suit from the closet together with the suit bag. It had become wrinkled since the last time he wore it, and he never had time to deal with it. This time, he still had to wear formal clothes to award the award.
I want to find a dry cleaner nearby and iron it.
However, there are office buildings surrounding Yamasakura-in, and dry cleaning shops generally do not open so far from residential areas.
I walked around for more than ten minutes but couldn't find a dry cleaner.
Nagayama Naoki murmured in his heart: "At this time, we should ask the old residents."
At this time, I saw the sign "Aoyama Store" written on the store front, and through the window glass I could see an old man drinking tea at the tea table.
"Eh? Isn't this a coincidence?" Smiling, Nagayama Naoki picked up the bag of his suit and pushed open the store door, "Mr. Qingshan, are you drinking tea?"
"That voice is your kid!" Qingshan Xin turned around and saw that it was the guy who molested his granddaughter before.
"Eh? Why the angry tone? I don't seem to have offended Mr. Qingshan." Yongshan put down his suit bag, sat aside, then took a new cup politely and poured tea.
"I asked you why you just drink other people's tea casually!" Although Qingshan Xin said this, he did not reach out to stop him.
For some reason, Nagayama Naoki and Aoyama Nobu get along like a pair of old friends. There is no sense of distance in Japan at all. Perhaps it can be said that they feel like old friends at first sight.
"I won't drink even if someone offers me a drink~" Naoki Nagayama's shameless attitude made Shin Aoyama speechless.
"This is the first time I've seen such a thick-skinned person~"
After drinking a cup of hot tea, the chill he had just caught outside was immediately eliminated, and he became more lively.
"Speaking of which, old man, you have been here for a long time, right? Do you know where there is a dry cleaner around here?"
Shin Aoyama glanced at Naoki Nagayama: "I don't want to think about those things, they are all handled by the family."
Isn't it just that all the housework is handed over to the women at home? He said it as if it was a big deal.
"Do you want this suit to be dry-cleaned?"
"Hey, I have to iron it to attend a more formal event."
"In this case, men really need to dress neatly when they go out." Shin Aoyama shouted to the inside of the door, "Chikako, come here~"
"Hey~ Wait a minute~" After replying, as the voice got closer and closer, the cute girl Naoki Nagayama had seen before came out.
"What's up, uncle?" After seeing other people in the store, his voice suddenly became quiet.
"Chikako, do you know where the dry cleaner is nearby? This guy needs to send his suit to be dry cleaned and ironed."
Wait, Chikako, the old man's last name is Aoyama, so...
Naoki Nagayama said in surprise: "You are Chikako Aoyama?!"
"Hey, what's wrong?"
When Chikako Aoyama saw that it was the handsome boy from before, her cheeks turned red.
