Chapter 174 Electricity Bills
During the summer vacation, college students do not always have an easy trip.Some people just have more time to work and make money.

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

Kentaro Miyamoto drove Miki Fujiwara in his car and left his residence in Kagurazaka, Shinjuku District, and went straight to Karuizawa, the back garden of Tokyo.This is a vacation that has been invited for a long time.

Miki Fujiwara, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked thoughtfully: "Do we really want to stay in Karuizawa for the entire summer vacation?"

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

Fujiwara Miki tilted her head, looked out through the car window and felt the heat: "Tokyo is really too hot. Even if I am asked to live in Karuizawa for a long time, I am willing to do so."

Kentaro Miyamoto smiled and said, "You couldn't get over it before?"

Fujiwara Miki had a past memory in her head and said: "Let's live it! No matter how hot it is, we will still live it. In the past, although there was an air conditioner in my house, it was not turned on much on hot days.

The most commonly used one is the electric fan.When an electric fan blows on a person's body, it is like blasts of geothermal air.The hotter the weather, the higher the temperature of the hot air blown out by the electric fan.

When turning on the air conditioner in our home, we often have to wait until the whole family is here before turning it on.If everyone is not present, even if the heat is unbearable, mother will not get out of the way, but will only let you take a cold shower and then turn on the electric fan. "

Kentaro Miyamoto's smile did not change and he said: "Is it so miserable? No way!"

Fujiwara Miki said with a serious face: "I really wasn't joking with you, let alone cheating. Our family has always lived like this. In the past few nights, not only was I too hot to sleep, but I was also bedridden. Awakened by the heat.”

Kentaro Miyamoto said casually: "If you can't sleep, then you can only open your eyes and wait for dawn?"

Fujiwara Miki said truthfully: "While I was too hot to sleep, Reina was also too hot to sleep. So the two sisters could only chat.

We talk about everything.Sometimes, we fell asleep while chatting.this is the best.Sometimes, even with my eyes closed, I still can't fall asleep completely.Sometimes it is a semi-awake state.

All in all, summer is not easy for our family.It's winter, hey...but it's better than summer.At the very least, you can sleep comfortably in bed at night.

Heating and air conditioning are a complete dream.Electricity bills are really not cheap for ordinary Japanese people, especially in summer and winter.You definitely don’t have this kind of experience like me! "

Kentaro Miyamoto once said: "When I sleep at night in the summer, I turn on the air conditioner and cover myself with a quilt. Otherwise, I will wake up from the cold.

As for winter, you take off your coat when you enter the house, and the air conditioner is not turned on very much. 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, when I lived with my grandmother, the housekeeper would take care of me.Even if I move out and live in Kagurazaka now, you still have to pay the electricity bill! "

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

Kentaro Miyamoto said straightforwardly: "I have always set my credit card to automatically debit. Besides, instead of spending that time slowly checking the consumption bills, I might as well use this time to do other things. more meaningful."

Miki Fujiwara responded: "What else can you do? It's not just playing games." Kentaro Miyamoto retorted: "I don't just play games all day long. I can also read and study."

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

So far, our home has not even achieved the freedom of air conditioning.In addition, there are still 35 years of mortgage 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, but without money, you can only complicate simple things.

Besides, your family is not considered poor.As far as I know, don’t all ordinary middle-class families in Japan live like your family? "

Fujiwara Miki laughed twice and said, "You are 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 is insufficient power.

Most people think the current electricity price is expensive.If all nuclear power plants in Japan are shut down, electricity bills will only become more expensive.Tokyo Electric Power Company has decided to increase the original electricity price by nearly 30%.

According to one of their statements, it lost 3170 billion yen last year.The main reason for this is the increase in prices of fossil raw materials such as natural gas and oil caused by the war. "

After hearing this, Fujiwara Miki immediately expressed dissatisfaction and said: "Do we still need to live? Nowadays, the price of everything is increasing, except for the income of ordinary people.

In addition to salary income, how much income can ordinary people have?It's not like you rich people can have other sources of income.

Tokyo Electric Power Company is really not the same thing!Is it still losing money?Is this a joke?WTF? "

Kentaro Miyamoto laughed when he saw her reaction, and said without laughing: "Don't get excited. No matter how much you scold, it won't help. Anyway, the electricity bill will increase in the future."

Fujiwara Miki asked distressedly: "How will our family survive this summer? Will the frequency of turning on the air conditioner become less?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said directly: "Your father has been promoted to section chief, so his income will also increase accordingly."

Miki Fujiwara shook his head and said: "Although my father's income has increased to a certain extent, it cannot keep up with the increase in prices, especially the increase in electricity prices.

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

The people who are really most negatively affected by price increases are ordinary people whose wages have not increased, or even experienced salary cuts.I dare to boldly say that this summer, there will be more Japanese people dying of heat than last year. "

Kentaro Miyamoto said without joking: "How about you transfer some money to your mother to supplement the electricity bill?"

Fujiwara Miki said without objection: "I listen to you."
