Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 116 Silly Brother

In the living room of Hanyu's house, Hideki Hanyu and his younger siblings sat around the kotatsu table for warmth.

This is a table for heating with a stove inside, covered with a quilt, and then placed on the table.

Like his younger siblings, Hanyu Hideki put his feet under the quilt and put them under the table, and his whole body would immediately feel warm.

Beside her, her younger sister, Yui Hanyu, was feeding the little female cat Nako Lulu lying on the table with cat food.

And the younger brother Shuri Hanyu was concentrating on unpacking the gift he brought back. It was a small black bag, thin and soft to the touch, like a piece of clothing.

"Brother, what the hell is this?"

Before opening it, the impatient Shuri Hanyu couldn't help but want to know.

"You'll know if you take it apart."

Hanyu Hideki felt that it was better to save the surprise for the last.

"Is it a baseball jersey?"

When the bag was opened in half, Hanyu Shuri could already see that what was inside was a baseball jersey.

While continuing to tear it apart, Hanyu Xiuli saw the logo on the jersey, "It is the baseball jersey of the Yomiuri Giants."

Hanyu Shuri tore open the black bag with force, and finally took out the jersey. Then he saw the number 1 written on the front of the Yomiuri Giants jersey, and immediately said in surprise.

"It's Wang Zhenzhi's jersey! It's Wang Zhenzhi's jersey!"

Neon has a saying, if you don’t know what gift to give a baseball boy, then give him a jersey from Wang Zhenzhi.

Wang Zhenzhi, whose ancestral home is in China and never joined the Neon nationality in his life, is the most legendary baseball superstar in Neon.

In 1980, Wang Zhenzhi officially retired from the Yomiuri Giants. In order to express respect for the legendary superstar, the Yomiuri Giants also permanently retired the No. 1 jersey belonging to Wang Zhenzhi.

But even if it was Wang Zhenzhi's jersey, how could it be possible for Hanyu Hideki to bring it back all the way.

He winked at his younger brother and said, "Mr. Xiuli, why don't you open it and have a look."

When the younger brother Shuri Hanyu heard the words, he hurriedly unpacked the jersey, unfolded the jersey and examined it carefully, and soon saw a line written on the back of the jersey.

[There are only two seasons in this world, the season with baseball and the season without baseball——Wang Zhenzhi]

In an instant, Hanyu Hideki was dumbfounded, and then looked at Hanyu Hideki in disbelief.

"Really? Brother, is this true?"

Hideki Hanyu nodded, "Of course it's true. Congratulations, Shuri-kun, for getting a jersey signed by Wang Zhenzhi."

In order to prepare this gift, he spent a lot of favors to contact Wang Zhenzhi through the relationship with the Yomiuri Shimbun, and asked the other party to sign that paragraph on the jersey.

"Ah! I got a jersey from Wang Zhenzhi, mother, look quickly, my brother gave me a jersey from Wang Zhenzhi!"

Hanyu Shuri jumped up from the kotatsu table and ran around the house holding Wang Zhenzhi's signed jersey, as if he couldn't express his joy otherwise.

In another room, her mother Sonoko Hanyu was putting the latest steam iron into a locker.

Compared with Wang Zhenzhi's signature jersey, she prefers the new steam iron brought back by her eldest son. Of course, the necklace as a gift is also very beautiful.

As for the younger sister Yui Yuyu, she couldn't bear the quarrelsome second brother anymore, and couldn't help complaining.

"No way race! Brother Xiuli has already scared Na Kelulu."

Although Yui Hanyu also likes baseball, what she likes to watch is high school baseball and the good-looking players in high school baseball, and she is not interested in professional baseball at all.

As for the jersey, it couldn't be more beautiful than the crystal bracelet that Hideki Oni-chan gave her.

In the room, Hanyu Shuri, who ran for a while as if venting, seemed to think of something, and took off all the clothes on his upper body after starting.

When Hideki Hanyu was wondering what his younger brother was going to do, he saw that the younger brother took off his shirt, and even put that signed Wang Zhenzhi jersey on his body, and was about to open the door to go outside.

Hideki Hanyu suddenly asked in shock, "Xiuri, won't you be afraid of the cold if you go out wearing a jersey in such a cold day?"

You must know that the jersey he gave to his younger brother is the short-sleeved version in summer, and the outdoor temperature today is only 1 degree Celsius.

Could it be that his stupid brother was confused because he was too excited.

"Don't worry brother, I'm strong."

As Hanyu Shuri said, he gestured at his arm like a firewood stick.

Hideki Hanyu was too lazy to complain about his stupid brother, so he could only ask, "Even if you're not afraid of the cold, why did Shuri-kun go out wearing this jersey?"

Shuri Hanyu said triumphantly, "I'm going to wear this jersey to find Yumi-chan, and she will be very pleasantly surprised when she sees Wang Zhenzhi's signature on the back."

Hanyu Hideki slapped his forehead with a forced smile when he heard this.

Whether that Yumi-chan will be surprised by Wang Zhenzhi's signature, he doesn't know, but he should be very shocked to see his silly brother going out in short-sleeved winter.

By the way, he should feel that his stupid brother is out of his mind.

In order for his eldest nephew Yuzuru Hanyu to be born smoothly in the future, he must not let his silly brother do this.

Besides, he gave the signed jersey as a gift, and he must be responsible for this matter to get everything back on track.

So before Hanyu Toshie went out, he yelled loudly, "Idiot! Stop it!"

When Hanyu Hideki heard Hanyu Hideki call an idiot, he looked back in a daze, wondering who his brother was calling.

"Don't look, I'm talking about Xiuli-kun!"

"Tell me, what's wrong with me?"

Hanyu Shuri looked confused, the 13-year-old kid didn't know what mistake he made.

"Hideki-kun put on my clothes." Hanyu Hideki ordered.

"No, I want Yumi-chan to see this jersey." Shuri Hanyu refused.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Hideki Hanyu finally could only threaten, "If you don't wear clothes, I will take back the signed jersey."

"Okay, I'll get dressed now."

As soon as he heard that he was going to take back his jersey, Shuri Hanyu quickly ran back obediently and put on all the clothes he had taken off.

However, after wearing the original clothes, Hanyu Shuri still put the signed jersey on the outside. The adult version of the jersey is already big, and it hangs directly to the knees after wearing it, which is a bit ridiculous.

And after putting on his clothes, Hanyu Shuri was about to open the door and go out again.

Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu hurriedly asked, "Are you still looking for Yumi-chan?"

"Of course, Yumi-chan will be very surprised to see Wang Zhenzhi's jersey."

Hearing what the silly brother said, Hideki Hanyu really wanted to say, if you just take my autograph over there, Yumi-chan will be more surprised than seeing Wang Zhenzhi's jersey.

But the jersey was given by him, and for Mr. Yuzi, he can only be responsible to the end.

He got up and found the suitcase, took out a small jewelry box from it, and stuffed it into the silly brother's hand,

Shuri Hanyu opened the box and saw a small red crystal hairpin inside, and asked strangely, "I'm not a girl, why did my brother give me a hairpin?"

"Idiot, this is a gift for Yumi-chan, give it first when we meet, and don't say I bought it, it's a New Year's gift that Shuri-kun wants to give Yumi-chan, remember?"

"Why does my brother always say that I'm an idiot? How can I not remember this? I will give you a gift first when we meet, and it should be said that it is my New Year's gift to Yumi-chan."

"Just remember it, let's go."

"I'm leaving."

Seeing his silly brother go out happily, Hideki Hanyu only hoped that everything will go well.

Sitting back at the kotatsu table again, Hideki Hanyu asked his sister who was playing with Nako Lulu, "Why hasn't the old man come back yet?"

"I don't know either. I said I was just going to visit my classmates. It should be soon."

"Okay, I get it now."

"Is Oni-chan afraid of father coming back?" Yui Hanyu looked at Hideki Hanyu playfully.

"That's not so."

"I told Oni-chan a secret."

Yui Hanyu said, put his head next to Hideki Hanyu, and whispered, "Father secretly read the novel called Homecoming by Oni-chan before, and he wiped tears while reading it."

"really?"

"Really, in addition to the book Love Home, my father also secretly bought a weekly magazine that serializes Oni-chan's novels, and hid it in a small cabinet in the attic. I went up and read it secretly before my father was not paying attention."

……

Hanyu Hideki chatted with his sister for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly the door was pushed open, and his younger brother Hanyu Shuri came back with a happy face.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki felt that the gift giving should be a success this time, so he asked, "How is it? Yumi-chan, do you like the gift from Shuri-kun?"

"I like it very much. As my brother said, I gave her the card as soon as I saw Yumi-chan. I also showed her Wang Zhenzhi's signature. Yumi-chan was very happy at that time. I'll take her to the ball."

"You promised?"

Hearing what his younger brother said, Hideki Hanyu didn't bother to tell his silly younger brother that Yumi-chan might be happy because of the issuance of the card, not because of Wang Zhenzhi's signature, and just wanted to know what happened next.

After all, they all want to watch the younger brother's game, so as long as they agree, the relationship will come naturally.

"How is it possible? I refused at the time. I told her that the baseball field is dangerous. The coach does not allow outsiders to enter, and..."

Speaking of this, Hanyu Shuri showed a shy expression, "And I don't want Yumi-chan to get hurt."

Hearing the first half of his younger brother's words, Hanyu Hideki felt that everything was over, and that his eldest nephew would be wiped out by him in the future.

But when I heard the second half of my younger brother's shy words, I felt that the chance of my eldest nephew being born in the future came back again, so I hurriedly asked, "Did Shuri-kun say that you don't want Yumi-chan to be hurt?"

"I can't say this kind of embarrassing words." Hanyu Shuri made a coy face.

"Oh my god!"

Hideki Hanyu didn't know what to say to this steely straight boy brother, he just felt that his big nephew, the figure skating champion, was useless again.

I also thought that if I can't sell books when I get old, I can still catch the enthusiasm of my eldest nephew.

It's all right now, my eldest nephew might be wiped out by his own butterfly wings.

"Brother Xiuli is such an idiot." Yui Hanyu couldn't stand it anymore.

"You're the idiot." Hanyu Shuri didn't dare to resist his elder brother, but he was rude to his younger sister.

But before Hanyu Yui could fight back, Hanyu Hideki stood up directly, and dragged his younger brother Hanyu Shuri to the door.

He pointed to the door and said to his younger brother, "Go and tell Yumi-chan that you refused her to go to the game because you didn't want Yumi-chan to get hurt."

"I don't want to say something so embarrassing."

"If Shuri-kun doesn't go, I'll go and play with Yumi-chan now. I think Yumi-chan would like to see me very much."

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Hideki Hanyu immediately thought of the magazine cover photo of her brother wearing a sweater that Yumi-chan posted on the head of the bed, and immediately panicked.

"Are you going?" Hideki Hanyu asked again.

"I'll go." Hanyu Shuri gritted his teeth and rushed out.

Hanyu Hideki watched his younger brother leave not long before returning in a hurry.

It's just different from when he left, Hanyu Shuri came back with a silly smile on his face, sat down at the kotatsu table and kept touching the left side of his face with his hands.

"Brother Shuri, are you okay? Have you told Yumi-chan?" Hanyu Yui couldn't help asking when he saw his second brother's appearance.

"said."

Shuri Hanyu touched the left side of his face after answering, and said to himself with a smirk, "I'm going to tell my mother later that I won't wash my face at night."

Hideki Hanyu has so much experience in love, he can tell what happened to this silly brother at a glance, and he just feels that his future nephew should be born.

Seeing this, the smart Hanyu Yui leaned his little head next to Hanyu Hideki, and whispered, "Oni-chan, Yumi-chan must have kissed Brother Xiuri on the face."

Hanyu Hideki patted his sister's head, smiled and nodded without speaking.

In this way, Hanyu Xiuli kept giggling until his father Hanyu Toshie came home, and then he became normal because he was afraid of being criticized.

Hideki Hanyu also presented a carefully selected gift to Toshie Hanyu, a complete set of Go equipment, including a Go pier made of Torreya wood, made by Yoshida, a family of chessboard makers.

"This chess pier is very precious."

Hanyu Toshie is an experienced Go enthusiast, and he also has a torreya wood chessboard in his collection, so he naturally recognized the precious chess pieces in front of him at a glance.

The torreya tree is rare, and it is even rarer if it is made by a famous artist.

"It doesn't matter how much it costs, it's all in my heart."

Of course, Hideki Hanyu couldn't say that just this one pawn cost him more than 100 million yen, otherwise, with Hanyu Toshie's old-fashioned personality, he would definitely let him take it away on the spot.

However, although this level of chess pier is expensive, there is a huge room for appreciation. After all, the logging of Torreya neon has been banned, so one piece is less.

In addition, it is made by a famous artist. It is estimated that it will be preserved for decades, and it will be no problem to sell for hundreds of millions of yen.

He remembered that later Huaxia once auctioned a chess pier made by Yoshida's family, and sold it for 300 million Huaxia coins, which was not as good as his.

"Hideki-kun has been doing very well recently."

When Hanyu Toshie said this, the whole family was a little surprised, thinking that this old-fashioned parent would also take the initiative to praise others.

"Hey, those scandals are all nonsense from the media." Hideki Hanyu waved his hand, as if you don't need to take it seriously.

"Who's talking about your stupid affairs with female stars! I mean your book is good."

Hanyu Hideki pretended to be unscrupulous, and the praise that Hanyu Toshie had finally raised in his heart instantly turned into annoyance.

Their family has always been a scholarly family, engaged in education-related work.

Before Hanyu Hideki disregarded opposition and ran to become an idol, Hanyu Toshie was so angry that he almost severed the relationship. Fortunately, the prodigal son turned around and became a writer.

But what Toshie Hanyu didn't expect was that Hideki Hanyu, who became a writer, began to flirt with those female stars, getting entangled, and the endless gossip news made their family very headache.

How long has it been? First, the public relationship with Keiko Matsuzaka, who is ten years apart, was reported by the media for a while, causing the family to be questioned by curious relatives and friends wherever they went.

As a result, they hadn't gotten better with Matsuzaka Keiko for a few months, and news of their breakup broke out again, and there was even a story about them beating mandarin ducks with clubs, causing relatives and friends to ask whether their family was real.

And the news of the breakup hasn't stopped yet, and the rumor that she and actress Yuko Tanaka rode home in the same car for the night broke out again, and everyone knew about it again.

The whole family really couldn't figure it out, their Hanyu family was obviously decent, how could there be such a vagabond.

"Xiu Shu, as a man, you have to be responsible for your feelings."

Facing the teachings of Hanyu Toshie, Hanyu Hideki completely disagreed, "I agree with Wilde's words that if a man wants to be happy, he cannot have only one woman."

"Wilde's words are used in this way? And are you sure you said so?"

"It's almost enough, why care about those details."

"Bastard..."

……

After being reprimanded by Hanyu Toshie for the gossip news, Hanyu Hideki finally settled down at home safely,

On New Year's Eve, Hideki Hanyu took his younger siblings and began to help the family decorate the New Year's decorations.

Put a door pine at the door, hang a shimenawa at the entrance, hang a door amulet to pray for good fortune and exorcise evil spirits, and finally paste a paper-cut tortoise and crane on the window that symbolizes longevity.

On New Year's Eve, sitting in front of the TV and watching the Red and White Song Concert, which is equivalent to the Chinese Spring Festival Gala, and tasting the buckwheat noodles and sweet wine prepared by Hanyu Sonoko, I spent the New Year's Eve in a warm and simple way.

In this way, the time came to 1982, and it was a little closer to the beginning of the bright bubble.

On the first day of 1982, Hideki Hanyu, who still wanted to sleep in, was woken up by his mother early in the morning, and the family went to Osaki Hachiman Shrine to pray for blessings.

In the end, he did not respect the gods so much that he didn't know. Anyway, he had seen enough of the people. People crowded people, people looked at people, hurried in and out, and didn't even have time to look at the scenery.

After all, Osaki Hachiman Shrine is an ancient shrine. The integrated design of the worship hall and the main hall is connected by stones.

Afraid of being dragged by Sonoko Hanyu to worship some strange gods while staying at home, Hideki Hanyu decided not to stay at home, and visited various places in Sendai every day.

I visited the Lu Xun Memorial Exhibition Hall in the Historical Archives of Tohoku University, took a cruise ship to Matsushima Bay to see the scenery, saw the huge Guanyin statue, and visited the New Year's painting exhibition at the Sendai Art Museum.

When he was visiting the art exhibition, he was accidentally discovered by the local association that organized the art exhibition because he was negligent in disguise.

As a result, he received a warm invitation, hoping that he could participate in local New Year cultural activities and communicate with the literary and art circles in Sendai.

Unable to accept the invitation, he received the enthusiastic attention of the local media, which made the local public opinion lively for a while.

After all, as a well-known writer and national teacher, Hideki Hanyu is already one of the cultural celebrities in Sendai. He is the kind of person whose busts will be hung in schools and cultural centers after his death.

Of course, it’s impossible to just play by himself. He even took his family to soak in Qiubao Hot Spring, and led his younger siblings to eat charcoal-grilled beef tongue...

All in all, these days when Hideki Hanyu came home, his family took care of him in his life, and when he went out, he either had attractions or delicious food. He had a good time, and his face was obviously rounded.

When it was time to go back to Tokyo, I actually didn't want to leave.

But thinking that Tokyo still has a lot of things waiting for him, he can't leave, so he can only take Nako Lulu and start the journey back to Tokyo by car.
