Flying over the bubble era

997 Chapter 997. Talking Bad
For Christmas Eve, Akina Nakamori found out the extra-large woolen socks she hand-knitted last year and hung them on the head of the bed.After he was done, he stood by the bed, admiring his masterpiece, and couldn't help laughing.

Looking at it after a year, this Christmas stocking is too big.Facing the sock, she stuck out her tongue.

But I have already made up my mind, even if it is exaggerated and funny, I will never change it.

……

This Christmas, Akina Nakamori was rarely free, and only participated in a magazine shoot in the afternoon, with a simple interview attached.For a women-oriented fashion magazine, the interview questions are nothing more than how to spend the holidays, what hobbies you have recently, and so on.

There is work for Christmas, Nakamori Akina also greeted the agent Daben in advance, and prepared Christmas cookies for the staff of the magazine, and the etiquette was very thoughtful.

From this year, Nakamori Akina often participates in women's fashion magazine shootings, but almost no longer appears in idol-oriented photo magazines.And when she went to negotiate with Yanyin and expressed her determination to become an actress, from next year, idol-related work, such as filming phone cards, or participating in idol variety shows, will no longer be arranged for her.

Among them, the phone card is an important peripheral to make money as an idol, and Kenyin's abandonment of this benefit can be regarded as a response to Akina Nakamori's determination to help the agency as an actress.

Originally, Kenyin was unwilling to let Akina Nakamori give up her idol status because she could take on more jobs and earn more money by keeping this status.But now, on the one hand, she maintains her popularity as a singer at the pinnacle, and on the other hand, she can bring her popularity and popularity to become the pillar of Kenyin as an actress.

In this way, continuing to retain her status as an idol would become a burden instead.It would be too short-sighted to focus on the benefits brought by the status of an idol.In addition, there is another point that cannot be ignored. The idol market has become increasingly bleak this year. An industry where newcomers can no longer make their debut means that it is about to enter a cold winter.

Then, the most important thing to do at this time is to get rid of this identity.

Now that the priorities have been determined, the firm of Kenne will help Akina Nakamori completely draw a line from her idol status and allow her to be active on stage as a singer and actress.

It is also because of the choice and decision made by the firm that at the end of this year, Akina Nakamori did not participate in some idol-related work. Her schedule is easier than in previous years, and Christmas Eve can be spent leisurely.

She has a lot of free time on Christmas Eve, but Shinichi Iwahashi has to go to the performance of DREAMS COME TRUE tonight.By the time the show is over, it's not too early.

But since it is a customary practice between him and his teammates, Nakamori Akina is not the kind of unreasonable woman.

...and sometimes a little unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Nakamori Akina was a little embarrassed again, and stuck out her tongue at the car window.

Arrived at Kiyose Station.

In order to welcome Christmas, the small Kiyase and the shopping street are also carefully decorated.Merchants will never miss this great opportunity to promote.

Akina Nakamori recalled that a few years ago, when she first debuted, her mother was in good health, and the business of the store she participated in was booming. Fans came to patronize the store after knowing her hometown. Her mother warmly entertained her, and the brothers and sisters also treated her like this My sister is proud.

As soon as the Christmas month comes, the shops at home are also decorated with lights and play various Christmas music to create a festive atmosphere.

Recalling the past, Akina Nakamori couldn't help smiling.When troubled by all kinds of troubles, whenever she thinks of the once harmonious big family, she can hardly avoid being sad.However, today, recalling the past, she is calm and gentle.Neither sad nor complaining.

The reason for this is that the soul has a more solid sustenance, and there is no need to rummage through the corners of the past to warm yourself.

It wasn't until the car passed the shopping street that Akina Nakamori realized that she didn't look at the former "Nakamori Building", and didn't even think about that building.

Walking to the street where Nakamori's house is located, Daben reminded the distracted Tao Pustar in the back row, "It's coming, Ming Caijiang."

In an instant, he heard Nakamori Akina's elongated answer: "Ha~yi~" Such a fast speed, coupled with a childish naughty tone, Daben was a little skeptical. Just now, he felt that Nakamori Akina's distraction was his illusion.

"Big Ben-san go in and have a cup of tea, okay?"

After getting out of the car, Akina Nakamori invited, "Mom must be very happy to see Omoto-san."

After all, it is her old manager who has been with her for the longest time, escorting her through wind and rain, and she has been to her hometown in Kiyase many times.Sometimes, Akina Nakamori would ask him to go in with him, and Chieko would definitely receive warm hospitality every time.

Qian Huizi is outgoing, cheerful, and straightforward. Even Da Ben admires her and respects her very much.And I felt in my heart that it was with such a mother that Akina Nakamori was born into the girl she is today.

Since she didn't have to work late on Christmas Eve, Nakamori Akina was unwilling to drag her old manager to saddle her up, so Daben sent her back to her hometown, and today's work came to an end.

However, Akina Nakamori seemed very interested in Omoto-san's Christmas arrangements. While drinking tea in the living room, she had a sudden idea and asked, "What does Omoto-san's wife prepare for Christmas Eve?"

For example, she said, "For example, cakes, roast chickens, Christmas trees in the living room, etc..."

Big Ben shook his head, "My wife told the children that they can only choose one for Christmas. If you choose cake, there will be no roast chicken." As he said, the words of his wife's serious education to the children sounded in his mind——

Don't be so greedy, you know?

Akina Nakamori smiled and asked, "So, what did Hiroki-kun choose?"

Hiroki is the name of Daben's son.Big Ben told her, "I chose roast chicken." He laughed as he said, "But he discussed it with me in private, and asked me to buy a cake to take home."

Qian Huizi listened and joked, "Yu Shu-kun is very clever."

Big Ben finished his tea and was about to say goodbye—and went to buy a cake for his son.When Akina Nakamori and his mother sent him to the entrance, they told him, "There is a Christmas gift for Hiroki-kun in the paper bag in the back row, please accept it for him."

She narrowed her eyes and smiled.Seeing her appearance in his eyes, Da Ben couldn't help feeling a little helpless while being moved by her thoughtfulness.

Such a Taopu star, even if she is unreasonable, thinks about it every time, and keeps causing trouble for his old manager... Although it is a problem, she is indeed a good boy.

Being her manager wasn't all hard work, it was actually pretty good.

……

There were only their mother and daughter in the living room, and Akina Nakamori told her mother, "Iwahashi has business until evening." She was blunt, "So, I can't have dinner with him."

Qian Huizi peeled an orange and handed it to her, "So I'm the backup option?"

She teases her daughter.Akina Nakamori laughed loudly, and leaned on her mother to act like a spoiled child.The trick of being cute to pass the level has also been tried and tested repeatedly by Qian Huizi.But or it should be said that it is only effective when she is with someone who really loves her.

The mother and daughter were sitting next to each other. Akina Nakamori was eating the oranges handed over by her mother, and suddenly said childishly, "It's good that my mother lives with me."

Qian Huizi was amused, "It's hard to grow up, isn't it just to get rid of your mother and live your own life?"

Akina Nakamori's words to call her mother stabbed her.She didn't say anything, and Chieko made a joke of her own, "It's the same for mothers. They drove the children out of the house with great difficulty, and they are going to live a leisurely life for a few days." Chieko's thoughts on Nakamori Akina Clear and clear, just a few words, let this daughter have nothing to say.

In the evening, the mother and daughter had dinner together.Akina Nakamori volunteered to go shopping in the shopping street.She took the tote bag and shopping list from her mother and went to have a go.

Chieko, who stayed at home, was responsible for the preparations before the fire.

On the way here, I took a quick glance while passing the shopping street in the car, and saw the carefully decorated streets.Now, walking among them, I personally experienced the Christmas Eve, which was different from the bustling areas of Tokyo, with a bit of the country atmosphere she was familiar with.

In order to attract customers, the merchants put on Christmas music. Outside the family restaurant, a comedian who stepped on a cardboard box as a stage told passers-by in a hurry that they were so boring that they could make you fall asleep. He wore the school uniform of a nearby junior high school. The teenagers walked together, and the naughty boys whistled mockingly at the comedians that no one cared about.

Akina Nakamori went to the vegetable shop and fish shop she was familiar with when she was still living in Kiyose, and bought everything on the list one by one.The shop owner, who had watched her grow up, naturally recognized who she was, and greeted her with a familiar tone.Nakamori Akina himself was also able to joke with the familiar shopkeepers with ease——

Just kidding, but please be cheaper and give more, the boss, it has been written into the instinct of the children in the shopping street.

When I came out, the empty handbag gradually became heavy.Akina Nakamori bought all the things her mother wanted and walked back.On the way, I suddenly heard a familiar prelude and couldn't help but stop for it.

It is DREAMS COME TRUE's new single "Snow Christmas".

On the evening of the 23rd, it snowed, and after the snow, it was sunny.Moreover, according to the weather forecast, Tokyo will be sunny from now until New Year's Day.

This evening, I made an agreement with Iwahashi Shinichi. After he watched the performance, the two made an appointment to meet at a cafe they had been to together before.Since it's Christmas Eve, of course we have to have fun outside.

She was distracted for a while, and a young man approached her, "Excuse me..."

"It really is Ming Cai-san, right?" The man's face immediately glowed.

Akina Nakamori came back to her senses, smiled, and nodded politely, "Hello." Although she dealt with the supporters she encountered by chance without losing courtesy, she was absent-minded. go.

……

Although it is carefully prepared, there are only two mothers and daughters, and they can't eat much.

Akina Nakamori picked up the corn kernels in the salad with chopsticks, and put them into her mouth one by one like a chicken pecking at rice.Qian Huizi saw that she was worried, and suddenly mentioned, "Ming Caijiang is going to act in a TV series."

Akina Nakamori nodded, "The name of the TV series is "Lovely Season." She raised her head and said with a smile, "I want to play with a cute actress."

Qian Huizi also laughed, "I'm really looking forward to it. When the TV series starts, I can see you on TV every week."

Akina Nakamori was a little embarrassed, "I will be very shy."

Qian Huizi didn't think so, "Isn't it pretty good? I think I can watch a TV series starring you, so I'm happy."

Akina Nakamori stared intently at his mother's cheerful, aging face.Acting and being an actress seems to have been endowed with another meaning because of my mother's expectation.

In addition, Chieko said that she looked forward to seeing her on TV, which was also a response to the sentence she said suddenly before the meal.

After finally growing up, isn't it just to get rid of my mother and live my own life?

Now, the sons and daughters who once lined up behind their mothers have scattered like dandelions.Brothers and sisters all have their own families, take root in the land, and grow into a new dandelion.

As for her dandelion seed, even though she identified the land, she didn't know when it would take root there.

Akina Nakamori ate the last kernel of corn, and Chieko asked her, "Does Iwahashi-kun support your acting?"

She replied with "Hay~", "That man Yanqiao, when he talked about work, whether it was his own or mine, his eyes lit up."

Seeing her daughter's expression, Qian Huizi knew that she was exaggerating, but she didn't point it out. She followed her words and asked, "Is Yanqiao a workaholic?"

"That's pretty much it. As long as it's related to work, you don't care about anything."

Akina Nakamori arranged for her mother to have an absent boyfriend.But after saying it, I felt that it was not fair to him, so I patched it up, "However, there are times when you are considerate."

After thinking about it, I felt that this was not enough, as if I was afraid of affecting Yanqiao Shinichi's image with his mother, he added a patch, "Although I am a workaholic, most of the time, I have always been very understanding."

I talked for a long time, but in the end I was still saying good things about Shinichi Iwahashi.Nakamori Akina couldn't help herself, she raised her eyelids, and saw her mother's knowing smile.

All right.Nakamori Akina gave up on being stubborn, and simply smashed the can, lost her face, and muttered in a low voice, "I can't help it, who let it be Yanqiao."

Chieko looked straight at the foolishness of her daughter who revealed her sincerity without hesitation.

……

After the dishes were removed, Akina Nakamori wanted to wash the dishes, but her mother refused.Qian Huizi had her own reasons, "Leave some work for me."

When his mother said so, Akina Nakamori didn't force it, and just helped put the dishes in the sink and cleared the table.The two stayed in the living room, stretching their feet into the warmth of the kotatsu.Qian Huizi turned on the TV, and the mother and daughter watched the TV screen, but couldn't stop chatting.

After 08:30 in the evening, Akina Nakamori didn't say anything, but Chieko urged her first, "Aren't you ready to go back?" She said in a bright tone, "Although the opposite party is a workaholic, don't make him wait too long."
